"Worthy..."

Zuo Le looked at the ball of energy and knew that if he didn't dodge, he probably wouldn't even be able to find his body later.

He drew his short sword and teleported again.

At the same time, using the momentum from the previous kick, he pulled Tu Mi into his arms and dragged her out of the battlefield.

A flash of black light appeared in front of the black beast's face.

boom!

The explosion nearly blew everything around them away, and countless fragments of seashells flew past Zuo Le and Tu Mi.

He could only use the magic flow to envelop his body and hold Tu Mi in his arms for a basic form of defense.

Even though he managed to defend himself, he still fell to the ground in a rather embarrassing manner!

After this entanglement, the Coast Guard finally arrived.

"You two, step back!"

Zuo Le nodded in response to these people, and then hid with Tu Mi next to the broken floorboards.

They moved with incredible speed; three Mirror Sea guards in dark gray uniforms charged straight at the Black Beast.

The leader was holding a heavy shotgun, and he raised his hand to fire!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Without a word, the Jinghai guards began a continuous barrage of shotgun fire, the explosions of the psionic bullets nearly deafening Zuo Le and Tu Mi.

The black beast let out a piercing howl, spraying juice all over the ground, and struggled to pounce on one of the Mirror Sea guards.

Immediately, others opened fire to suppress them.

Meanwhile, the other Jinghai guards had already taken the opportunity to circle around to the rear.

boom!

The guard captain forced it back with a grenade, and the retreating black beast was immediately surrounded by the other team members.

"Ready, fire volley!"

Boom boom boom!

At the order to fire, heavy psionic projectiles were sprayed out as if they were free. The Mirror Sea Guards didn't care whether they were accurate or not; they just splashed water on the enemy.

With each bullet fired, some will inevitably hit a vital spot.

The black beast's hide was gradually torn apart by gunfire, and the constant impact of heavy psionic bullets pierced its spine bit by bit.

It lay on the ground, constantly roaring and struggling, wriggling towards the direction of the rose.

But what it received in response was a relentless attack by the guards.

Boom boom boom!

Its body and bones were broken and torn apart time and time again.

After another round of bombardment, the black beast, already mangled and bloodied, could only twitch on the ground, no longer able to move.

The coastline was filled with the smell of gunpowder and fish, and the ground was riddled with craters from the bullets, just like the ones Zuo Le had seen before.

Fortunately, the traces of the spirit array pattern of the Tu Mi were completely destroyed.

Only a ring of charred marks remained.

It's fortunate that not many clues were left behind.

The lead guard holstered his weapon, glanced at the black beast's corpse on the ground, then surveyed the nearby beachcombers, his tone indifferent:

"The alert is lifted. Everyone present, come with me to submit a report on the current situation."

The beachcombers followed the guards and left one after another.

Only then did the guard captain approach Tu Mi and Zuo Le. He sized them up and offered them a cigarette.

"Hey kid, you're pretty good. Want a cigarette?"

"You flatter me, thank you." Zuo Le accepted the cigarette.

"Even if you flatter me, I still need to write a report. Damn it, how did a black beast end up here?"

Beneath the seemingly polite inquiry from the guard captain lay a probing intent that Zuo Le could also sense.

He quickly shook his head, using flattery and praise to dispel any suspicion:

"I don't know either. It was so dangerous just now. If you hadn't arrived in time, we probably would have died there."

"Alright, you can just submit a report over there."

"OK, thanks."

Zuo Le bowed deeply in thanks, showing great politeness.

Tu Mi hadn't said a word since the accident started. She kept her head down, her hat had fallen off, her white hair was scattered on the side of her face, and her lips were pressed together until they were pale.

Clearly, even if this stray dog ​​is used to pretending to be all sweet, it should know that it has caused trouble.

And it wasn't just a minor mishap.

She herself insisted on trying psychic summoning, but she made such a huge mess of it.

"Zuo Le, are you alright?"

Tu Mi looked at Zuo Le. Ever since the previous accident, he had been holding her hand and had never let go.

"I am fine."

Although Zuo Le didn't say anything, nor did she blame her at this time.

But Tu Mi knew very well that this was her fault, all of it was her fault...

"I really don't have any skills."

Hearing the buzzing whispers around him, Zuo Le tightened his grip on his fingers.

He didn't say anything to comfort Tu Mi, because such nonsense wouldn't solve anything at this time.

"Tu Mi, calm down."

"Hmm?" Tu Mi looked up and saw Zuo Le's serious eyes.

"Remember my words. From now on, no matter what happens, no matter how the guards question you, you must stick to one thing: that black beast appeared suddenly, understand?"

Tu Mi didn't say anything, but nodded.

The group was taken to the Coast Guard headquarters, where staff gave each person a form and a pen.

"Alright, write down what happened at that time."

Zuo Le received paper and pen, quickly wrote down the prepared response, and then began the routine questioning.

"Name."

"Zuo Le".

"Identity and position".

"Mirror Sky Academy, third-year student in the Psychic Department." Zuo Le made no attempt to hide his identity; lying at a time like this would be the most foolish thing to do.

"A psychic, what are they doing here?"

The staff member who asked the question looked puzzled, and the fact that the student was a psychic was also highly suspicious under the circumstances.

There are not many people who are skilled in forbidden summoning, but the legend of forbidden summoners has always existed.

"I'm broke, so I came here to try my luck."

"A psychic student coming to beachcombing to make money? What kind of summoned beast do you have?"

"I don't have a summoning beast. It's because I haven't been able to successfully form a contract with one, and I haven't made any progress in my studies, that's why I'm here to earn some extra money."

However, I'm very skilled in physical combat and have some experience fighting monsters, so I can take care of myself, sir, you see…”

Zuo Le truthfully explained his situation, and when he mentioned that he was very good at physical skills, he didn't forget to bend his arm to show his muscles to the other party.

Seeing Zuo Le's reaction, the staff's suspicions gradually dissipated.

"You're a psychic who's come here to go beachcombing; you're really in a sorry state."

"I'm already saving up to buy a Book of Spirits and go all out. Sir, do you know about the new version of the Book of Spirits? It's..."

"Alright, alright, I don't have time to waste with your nonsense. Go on."

"Okay, feel free to contact me if you need anything."

Zuo Le remained calm throughout; with his mental fortitude, dealing with this situation was naturally effortless for him.

He was more worried about Tu Mi's condition than about himself.

"Can that guy handle it?"

Chapter 91 The Aura of Love

In the interrogation room on the other side.

Tu Mi sat on the chair, her hat brim pulled low, her white hair drooping, as if she had been frightened.

A female guard in a dark gray uniform sat across the table, holding a pen and a record sheet in her hand.

"Name."

"Tumi."

"identity?"

“I used to be a Lightbearer, but I am not anymore.”

The guard looked up at her, his expression one of shock and disbelief, for the Lightbearer was arguably the most noble status in this era.

"What do you mean by 'it was before, but not now'?"

"He was removed from the list due to insufficient ability."

The guard was silent for two seconds. Such things could be easily investigated, so she didn't really believe that Tu Mi could fake something like this.

She wrote a few words on the record sheet and then asked:

What did you see at Mirror Lake today?

Tu Mi thought for a moment, her tone blank:

"A black beast, a very large one."

How did it appear?

"It appeared suddenly." Tu Mi still maintained that dazed look, but she was telling the truth.

"It appeared suddenly? What were you doing at the time?"

"I'm standing." That's the truth.

The guard looked up at her again. Tu Mi's expression was calm, neither nervous nor guilty, as if she were answering a very boring question.

"Who is that guy next to you?"

Tu Mi took a little longer to think about it this time:

"roommate."

"He's a man, your roommate?" The female security guard's expression was a little strange. She almost added, "Do you want to listen to what you're saying?"

"Yes, she's my roommate." Tu Mi nodded again.

The female guard was speechless. She remained silent for a moment, thinking to herself, "No wonder I was expelled from the Lightbringer's list."

This is completely against the rules!

At this point in the conversation, she didn't ask for more details. After all, anyone who could meet the Black Beast and return unscathed was either lucky or incredibly strong.

After checking a few basic details, she closed the notebook:

"Alright, you can go now."

"Okay." Tu Mi nodded.
