"Fuck, fuck, fuck fuck fuck."
The driver pounded on the steering wheel excitedly, swearing incessantly, as if that could alleviate his fear.
"These officials are making life increasingly unbearable. Taxes are getting heavier and heavier, while security is getting worse and worse. Now they're even letting magical beasts openly charge into the safe zone. Will we still be able to do business in remote areas in the future? Damn it."
Seeing the driver becoming increasingly agitated, Lu Shi didn't say much, but raised her hand to give him a mental cleansing.
A white light flashed.
The driver calmed down instantly.
He turned to look at Lu Shi and said timidly, "My lord magician, I'm sorry, that was too frightening. I lost my composure. I'm so sorry."
Lu Shi waved her hand and said magnanimously, "It's alright, just drive your car and get out of here quickly."
"Okay." The driver seemed to have regained his lively demeanor from when he arrived, started the taxi, and headed towards the county town.
Lu Shi sat in the back seat, giving herself a mental cleansing as well.
"hiss"
Lu Shi's mind calmed down, but the physical pain made her cry out.
Hearing the cry of pain, the driver glanced in the rearview mirror and saw Lu Shi's pained expression. He quickly asked, "My lady mage, you seem to be seriously injured. Should we take you to get treatment?"
"I'm fine," Lu Shi waved her hand.
A white star trail flickered, casting a healing spell on herself. Bathed in the white light, Lu Shi's injuries were rapidly healing.
The driver was mesmerized by the woman who looked like a fairy descended from heaven.
"Drive carefully. I'm a magician. If there's a car accident, I might be fine, but you might not be so lucky," Lu Shi threatened.
The driver quickly responded and focused on driving.
As her injuries gradually healed, Lu Shi began to review the battle.
As a training instructor, timely debriefing is a very good habit.
First, changing the weight of the soul has significant side effects. But sometimes it can also have miraculous effects.
By simply shifting the weight of one's soul to 4G, the mind gradually becomes hyperactive. Slowly, one becomes oblivious to fear and is even cut off from the sensation of pain.
Most importantly, he remained somewhat clear-headed.
But this is how we fight.
That fighting style was... a bit crazy.
Have you ever seen a pretty girl chasing after a monster with scissors as big as a person and cutting it?
Secondly, while magic skills are obtained by burning the soul and there's no chance of spell failure during combat, combat experience is clearly lacking. The combat techniques Little Scissors passed on need to be practiced diligently when available.
Finally, after the battle ends, remember to cast Heal first, then Mind Cleanse.
hiss……
It might be psychological, but the spot where I was bitten by the Gale Wolf seems to hurt again.
Damn it, hand-to-hand combat is something only a crazy magician would do.
"My lord magician, your clothes are all torn. Do you have any spare clothes?"
The driver suddenly asked.
Looking at her tattered clothes, torn by the gale wolves, and covered in blood, Lu Shi knew she definitely needed to clean herself up.
"Yes, don't go back to the Mage's Guild yet. Take me to a quiet place and buy me a few outfits. Let me get ready before going back, so people won't worry. And don't call me 'sir' anymore, I don't have that kind of airs!"
“Okay, magician sister. I have a good place.” The driver winked and smiled.
...
The taxi drove into the county town and stopped in front of an old residential area.
The driver got out of the car first and led Lu Shi into an old apartment building.
An older woman is coming out of the elevator.
The driver rushed up and pressed the elevator button, waving for Lu Shi to come quickly.
Looking at the driver and Lu Shi, the aunt said warmly:
"Ah Zheng, you brought your girlfriend home. Wow, she's so pretty, but what happened to her? So much blood!"
The aunt looked her over and couldn't resist reaching out to touch Lu Shi.
“Aunt Wu, she’s my friend, not my girlfriend. We were in a minor car accident earlier, just a few scrapes and bumps, but a healer took a look at us. It’s nothing serious. We’ll be fine after we get back. Don’t worry.”
Ah Zheng hurriedly explained, reaching out to stop Aunt Wu's hand and beckoning Lu Shi to enter the elevator.
"Oh, if you need any help, just let me know!" Aunt Wu called out as the elevator doors closed.
Ding, the elevator doors closed.
Ah Zheng pressed the button for the fifth floor, then said to Lu Shi apologetically, "My sister and I have been without parents since we were little. Aunt Wu is very kind and has always taken good care of us. Please don't mind, Magician Sister."
"Yeah, I can tell. He's a good person," Lu Shi replied casually.
The elevator stopped on the fifth floor.
A-Zheng led the way to room 503, opened the door, and went inside.
Then he turned around, gestured for people to enter, and called out, "Ta-da! We've arrived at a great place... my home."
Lu Shi walked into the room with a smile.
Ah Zheng closed the door and said with a smile:
"Sister Magician, please make yourself at home. Let me see if I have any suitable outer garments for you. My sister isn't as well-built as you, so please don't mind if the clothes don't fit."
After saying that, he rushed into the room on the right.
Lu Shi was left alone in the living room.
Look at this little house.
It's about fifty square meters.
It's a two-bedroom, one-living-room apartment; although not large, it's decorated very warmly.
Looking especially at the large doll on the sofa, it seems that Ah Zheng's sister must be a very cute girl.
Lu Shi put aside her extraneous thoughts, sat on the sofa, and began to search the panel.

...
The soul of a Tier 1 magical beast is less heavy than the soul of an ordinary human.
No wonder Warcraft doesn't seem very smart; they're just born mentally challenged!
However, as long as the soul can burn, that's fine.
All right!
I feel like I have a lot of spiritual weight right now!
How about we add another round of points?
...
On the other side, the warehouse in the north of the city.
Half an hour after the driver took Lu Shi away.
Two figures dressed in black appeared in the warehouse.
The two wandered around, looking for something.
Suddenly, one of them picked up the Swiftwind Wolf's head, which had rolled to the ground, and held it in front of him. He bared his teeth at the wolf's head, his face displaying a threatening and intimidating expression. After playing with it for a while, he seemed to get bored, casually tossing the wolf's head aside and letting out a terrifying and eerie laugh.
"Seventy-three, stop playing around. Stop acting like a freak. Instead of wasting your time, go find some valuable clues." Another man in black said, walking up to Huang Junshi's charred corpse, squatting down, and fearlessly reaching out to search through it.
"Seventy-five, your numbers aren't even as high as mine, don't order me around. Otherwise, I won't hesitate to kill you." Seventy-three made a throat-slitting gesture at Seventy-five.
"You're a fucking lunatic." Seventy-five, not finding what he wanted, stood up and roared at Seventy-three.
He then kicked the charred corpse again and cursed angrily, "Damn it, Strategist Huang is dead. Has N County been trying to screw over our Shadow Society lately? First, Eighty-Six was suddenly turned into a hornet's nest, and now our partner is dead as well. And what the boss wanted has vanished without a trace."
"What's your rush? Even if the sky falls, the numbers above are still high." Seventy-three shook his head, seemingly indifferent, and then bent down to examine the corpse of the Gale Wolf.
Suddenly he said in confusion, "This wound seems to have been caused by a fire-type magical beast. The cut is intact, and the surface is a bit charred. Yes, it was caused by a sharp blade coated with fire magic."
"You mean, Military Advisor Huang was killed by a fire monster or a fire mage?" Upon hearing this, Seventy-Five also came over and bent down to examine him.
"I can't rule out that possibility." Seventy-Three nodded, then said, "However, there are too many fire mages or magical beasts, so this range is a bit too broad."
“We can try to find the person that Military Advisor Huang invited today,” Seventy-Five suddenly said, pointing to Lu Shi’s vomit.
"You bastard!" Seventy-three cursed.
"Anyway, you're a pervert. Hurry up and go check it out, see who it is!" Seventy-Five said with a grin.
Seventy-three reluctantly walked to the pile of vomit, bent down, dipped his hand in it, and then... put it in his mouth.
A burst of magical energy.
"She's a stunning beauty!" Seventy-Three's eyes lit up.
However, Seventy-five suddenly made a shushing gesture.
The two exchanged a glance, and their figures simultaneously turned into black smoke and disappeared.
Immediately afterwards, a group of soldiers rushed into the warehouse, led by two military mages.
