"—each ghost gun is a phoenix rising from the ashes of the clichés of the anti-gun march."

3.绝对防域：右手中指弯曲成扳机状时，以使用者为圆心生成半径2.78米（宪法第二修正案字数为278单词）的不可侵犯结界，可以阻挡一切枪弹，结界持续时间为2分59秒1（折合179.1秒，宪法第二修正案通过时间为1791年）。

"——The sacred circle drawn by the muzzle of a gun is closer to God than the stained glass windows of a church. The right to bear arms guarantees the inviolable rights of the American people."

Restrictions: Can only be used once per day.

side effect:

Star-Spangled Banner Sleepwalking Shot: Each time this ability is activated, the user will fall into a brief sleepwalking state at a random moment in the next twenty-four hours.

No matter where they are, they will involuntarily imitate the action of holding a gun and shooting, comparing their middle finger to the barrel of a gun, and each time they sleepwalk and shoot, they will point accurately at the American flag decoration closest to them (whether it is hanging on the wall, in the car, or held by someone else).

During sleepwalking, the user's eyes are dull and their expression is dull, and they repeatedly raise their middle finger to the American flag. This state lasts for 10-30 seconds.

The concentration of willpower contained in the crystal given by Alessia is much higher than what Li Shanze had absorbed from the Liberty Bell before.

This Second Amendment means that two abilities are unlocked.

The first ability solves the problem of not being able to find a weapon in an emergency, and the third ability, absolute defense, is a guarantee of invincibility, and can even keep you invincible against bullets for nearly three minutes.

I have to say, this devilish wife is actually quite generous.

The perfume she gave greatly facilitated Li Shanze's daily life, and the wish crystal she gave this time further enhanced Li Shanze's combat effectiveness.

It was the existence of the absolute defense zone that gave Li Shanze enough confidence to face the team of mercenaries outside the RV who were armed to the teeth with live ammunition.

Although the so-called Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution ensures Americans' right to bear arms and guarantees the American people's right to resist tyranny and exploitation.

However, since the legislation of more than two hundred years ago, the only person that the ignorant Li Shanze could name who correctly applied the Second Amendment to protect his rights was Luigi Mangione.

As for those rednecks who take to the streets with guns every day to cosplay and pretend to be full of martial virtues, they only dare to gather in groups to clamor for courage and bully the weak, but they never have the courage to shoot those who truly systematically oppress them.

The Capitol Hill riots are clear evidence of this.

The old men on Capitol Hill were already scared to pee their pants, but these cosplay enthusiasts acted like they were visiting a comic convention. After visiting, they took photos, posted them on social media, and then walked away with a swagger.

What awaited them was naturally the revenge of their masters. Many people died in prison, and even more died inexplicably at home or in the community.

If you don't have the awareness to trample on the bones of nobles in the streets, what's the point of cosplaying as the opposition?

These idiots just gather together to enjoy the pleasure of bullying the weak.

It is precisely because of this that Li Shanze is full of contempt for the rednecks, a group that appears to be strong but is actually weak.

Likewise, Li Shanze wasn't worried about the side effects of this ability. He wasn't just any ordinary person. Even if he raised his middle finger at the American flag in public, how many people would dare to come forward and cause trouble?

Li Shanze confidently asked Kate, "So, what are you going to do? Do we take out those mercenaries first? Or do we just surprise the eldest son of our financial tycoon?"

Kate frowned and thought for a moment: "Don't forget, there is a wizard lurking in the dark. Maybe that wizard is the most troublesome."

Li Shanze nodded. He felt that what Kate said made sense.

An enemy in the open is not scary, a wizard hiding in the dark is more troublesome.

Jennifer added, "This Mr. Alex Drummond has always considered himself a witchcraft enthusiast. For this reason, his family hired a witchcraft consultant to satisfy his various curiosities. I think the wizard hiding in the dark is most likely his witchcraft consultant."

Jennifer's suggestion can be said to have filled in the last piece of the puzzle. It was already clear who was the leader of this group - it was obvious that this young master and his mercenaries were not bewitched by the wizard to be cannon fodder.

"Do you know who the wizard he hired is?" Kate asked.

Jennifer shook her head. "No, I don't know. I just heard about it at a party."

This kind of gossip in upper-class circles is often surprisingly accurate.

Kate nodded and didn't ask any further questions.

After pondering for a moment, Kate continued to suggest to Li Shanze, "So, we should use fierce means to attack that young master, forcing the wizard hiding in the dark to come out to rescue him, thus revealing his flaws."

Charlie disagreed: "I think the wizard might not have much hostility towards us."

"Why do you say that?" Li Shanze asked curiously.

"Look, Li, the fire elements he summoned have been attacking the RV's moonlight shield in vain, and the moonlight shield is being consumed even faster than it is being replenished." Xia Li pulled Li Shanze to look at a meter panel.

"You don't even need a meter, you can tell just by looking at the Moonlight Shield's consumption!"

"If he really had strong hostility, he would probably try every possible way to dismantle the RV's defenses, instead of just doing it as if he were doing something."

Kate frowned. "Perhaps this is just a cunning wizard trying to confuse us?"

"Perhaps he is only responsible for protecting the young master's safety." Charlie refuted without hesitation, "If we rashly attack the young master, it might force the wizard to use his full strength."

In any case, Kate and Charlie knew more about wizards than Li Shanze. Li Shanze felt that what they said made sense, but the tit-for-tat between the two still made him sense that something was up.

Considering that they were still discussing countermeasures based on the facts, Li Shanze opened his mouth but ultimately did not speak to stop the quarrel.

Jennifer sees it differently.

This is clearly jealousy for the master! How scary!

Jennifer, who had originally been ambitious to become the mistress by pleasing her master, had all her ambitions shattered when faced with the domineering Charlie and Kate.

Especially, considering that she was also a wizard, she was afraid of being singled out by two powerful and favored women and forced to express her opinion, which would offend at least one of them.

She subconsciously curled up in the corner, as quiet as a chicken, fearing that she would be dragged into the dispute between the two women.

Rather than confronting the enemy head-on, she would rather be a small and transparent person in the corner.

Fortunately, neither Charlie nor Kate had the time to pay attention to Jennifer. They all turned their eyes to Li Shanze and asked Li Shanze to arbitrate who was more correct.

"I'm just making a judgment based on my past experience dealing with wizards." Kate said in a businesslike manner.

Charlie was equally confident: "I believe that as a wizard, I understand wizards much better than a knight of the church."

Jennifer breathed a sigh of relief and was secretly glad in her heart, but she also felt a little dissatisfied.

All I can say is that some women are just too dramatic. When she might become the center of attention, she worries and fears that she will be caught.

But when she is really ignored, she will feel resentful about this neglect.

Of course, she was indignant, but she didn't have the courage to come forward.

Not only are these two lionesses confronting each other scary, but the mercenaries armed with guns outside the car are also scary.

Li Shanze had already made a decision: "How about this, let's kill those mercenaries first, and try to capture the young master of the financial family alive."

"As for the wizard hiding in the dark... I hope he knows what's good for him." Li Shanze made up his mind.

Since Li Shanze had already made the decision, Charlie and Kate naturally had no objection.

Xia Li took a half step forward and cast a spell on Li Shanze to smooth out his clothes.

Amidst the shining light, all the wrinkles caused by jumping into the river twice and soaking in the water disappeared, and Li Shanze looked brand new.

"Then I'll be here, waiting for your triumphant return." Xia Li smoothed the last wrinkle on Li Shanze's shoulder with satisfaction and smiled.

244 Fear

"Mr. Morton! Why haven't you succeeded in opening my RV yet?" Alex Drummond yelled in dissatisfaction.

Neither the mellow wine in his mouth nor the soft breasts in his hands seemed to be able to suppress the eagerness of this financial tycoon.

The evening breeze brought the wizard's words: "Please be patient, Mr. Drummond."

"Ha! Calm down? Who do you think you are talking to?" The smile on Alex Drummond's face became a little distorted.

At the same time, Annabel Graham, who was sitting in his arms, found it even harder to maintain her unbridled smile because of the severe pain in her chest.

Annabel Graham could hardly hold back her cry, but she did not have the courage to openly offend Alex Drummond.

She could only lean her chin on Alex's shoulder to avoid her distorted and out-of-control expression from being seen by the tyrant in her mind. She tried in vain to pry open Alex's rough palms with her hands, but was completely unable to shake him.

Fortunately, Annabelle was finally rescued before she lost her composure.

Because the manic Alex pushed her away, she screamed and fell to the ground. Her evening dress was covered with dirt and dust, making her look particularly disheveled.

Alex didn't even look at her, but roared angrily, "Don't think you can treat me lightly just because you're a wizard! People of the Drummond family are born to lead the trend of the times. Even mysterious forces must submit to us!"

As if cheering for his decisive and domineering speech, a divine light fell along with his roar, piercing through the jeep carrying the mercenaries.

On the blazing grass, the jeep exploded into pieces, and its five wheels, including the spare tire, ran wildly in five different directions like wild dogs on the loose.

Three of the tires caught fire as the car stumbled along.

The half-neutral gearbox was embedded in a bare cypress tree, and the remaining gasoline in the oil pipe spread across the tree like a fire snake.

The weapons scattered in the trunk of the car soon became a new starting point for the fire, and the 20mm explosive shells exploded with a muffled sound like corn kernels scattered into magma.

A mercenary's upper body remained kneeling on the scorched earth, gripping the steering wheel tightly. The broken bones were covered with eschar that reflected the light of the lens - that was clearly the trace of human body vitrification after the blood was evaporated by the holy flame.

The air was filled with the smell of burnt leather, and the aftermath of the explosion three seconds ago caused all the trees within a few dozen meters to bend like taut bowstrings.

The tall fire elemental was also reduced to nothing by the heavy blow just now.

In the fierce shock wave, Alex Drummond, the pride of Philadelphia who had just put down his bold words, was as stunned as a sculpture.

His originally carefully groomed blond hair was blown all over the place by the shock wave, his originally clean cheeks were smoked black, and his expensive blue tie was blown back and circled around his neck, looking like a noose.

Amidst the violent explosions, the night fell into a kind of deafening silence.

Annabelle, who was pushed to the ground, was the first to scream at the top of her lungs, howling like a slaughtered pig: "Ah ...

Screams pierced the night, and the mercenaries woke up as if from a dream, shouting in panic: "Enemy attack!"

Two tall bodyguards stepped forward side by side, protecting Alex, the financial tycoon, behind them.

The smoke billowed like waves. Li Shanze's leather shoes crushed a bent HK416 gun barrel, and the corners of his windbreaker fluttered in the wind.

Li Shanze adjusted his black bowler hat and smiled at the dazed crowd in front of him, saying, "Good evening, gentlemen."

Li Shanze's neat and white teeth gleamed coldly in the moonlight.

This cold light reflected in Alex Drummond's pupils turned into fear.

"It's the ogre! Kill him! Kill him for me!" Alex shouted as if he had just woken up from a dream.

However, the "well-informed" Alex's revelation of Li Shanze's identity as an "Ogre" simply added fuel to the fire. The mercenaries, already demoralized by the violent explosion, were now filled with even greater fear.

Originally, those mercenaries had already pulled the triggers in their hands without waiting for his order.

Now, they rushed to pour out their firepower towards Li Shanze who was standing there, while also pouring out the fear in their hearts.

"Ahhhhhhh! Die, Ogre!"

The M249 squad machine gun directly smashed the pine tree at the three o'clock position into wood chips, and the empty bullet casings that fell out of the gun body piled up into a brass-colored hill at the feet in just a few seconds.

The AK-74 with a tourniquet wrapped around its grip could not suppress the raised muzzle, and the tracer bullets trailing white smoke drew trembling patterns in the night wind.

The bullets splashed ripples across the vast land, like raindrops hitting puddles, but with a strong smell of gunpowder.

A mercenary who realized that his finger was burned by the ejection port when changing the magazine drum suddenly realized that the bullet had bounced off strangely before hitting Li Shanze.

He felt like he was being strangled by fear, but he shouted desperately, "Ahhhhhhhhhhhh! This ogre is invulnerable!"

He threw the rifle in his hand away, turned around and ran towards the intact jeep.

With this mercenary taking the lead, the other mercenaries became completely discouraged, their morale collapsed, and they all abandoned their big sponsors and fled.

Someone threw away his submachine gun and stumbled towards the jeep.

The scout who was hiding on the periphery threw the map device randomly, hitting his companion in the face, and ran towards the bushes.

When the first man threw himself at the front wheel of the jeep, the bulletproof door was burning red from the flames.

The guy in the desert camouflage shirt had already dropped the machine gun in his hand. He took off the camouflage shirt, put it on his hands, and opened the car door while yelling.

Then, without caring about the camouflage shirt that was almost on fire, he jumped into the car.

Then, this guy was kicked by someone behind him and fell into the passenger seat.

The second person who wanted to do the same thing accidentally stepped on a rolling flash bomb. He screamed in embarrassment and broke his wrist.

After everyone rushed to get in, the jeep started with the roar of the engine.

Several mercenaries had lucky smiles on their faces as if they had escaped death, and their smiles rose in the explosion caused by the sacred lances.

This group of mercenaries was once again wiped out in the explosion. The only ones left of the originally arrogant group of mercenaries were the one who escaped to the bushes and the unlucky one who broke his hand.

However, after the vines in the bushes suddenly rose up and pierced the fugitive's heart, it was difficult to say whether this unlucky guy with a broken hand was lucky or unlucky.

"Now that we're here, why are you in such a hurry to leave, gentlemen!" Li Shanze still had a smile on his face. He took off his bowler hat, gently brushed away the dust raised by the explosion, and then put the hat back on.
