Foundation Exusiai, Containment Breach! Chapter 8

"Ow!"

With a muffled thud, a figure fell from an altitude of ten thousand meters and smashed straight into a pile of garbage.

Thud.

Unlike in a game, the garbage bags provided absolutely no cushioning.

The violent impact made the entire area tremble!

Now she finally understood why none of those researchers who had passed through the Dimensional Gate had ever returned—who could survive a fall from that height?

Falling down was enough to send someone straight to another world.

Even with an extraordinary physique, the impact of falling from ten thousand meters left Xiao Huasheng dizzy and disoriented.

"Where is this? Where the hell did you send me? Is this still the Foundation?!"

Panting, she rubbed her head as she climbed out of the garbage heap. The bulletproof vest she had swiped from the special forces had already shattered into scraps.

This bulletproof vest was completely ruined.

She tugged at the tattered vest, which was barely covering her and exposing half of her left thigh.

Xiao Huasheng could not help asking the question from the depths of her soul. "Do I just have it out for clothes?"

In a single day, she had wrecked three outfits and taken off two.

It really made her wonder.

Where had her steel panties gone?

She flicked the banana peel off her head and looked ahead.

This was a secluded alley piled with trash, with mosquitoes and flies buzzing everywhere.

Moss covered the damp brick walls, and air-conditioning units hung outside every home.

A faint light shone from one end of the alley, while the other ended in a dead end.

"A modern society? Oh! Am I about to become some overpowered protagonist?!" Xiao Huasheng grew excited.

Could she rely on her abilities here, make money, and climb to the peak of life?

Her eyes brightened, and her little mouth fell slightly open.

It looked like a remote little town.

But this was a brand-new beginning!

Free from that mysterious organization's control, she could create whatever life she wanted.

As for being hunted? There was no need to worry at all.

"Haha, looks like I need to get changed first. Though I do feel a little sorry for that big lizard."

Xiao Huasheng struggled out of the garbage heap and headed toward the mouth of the alley.

The blinding sunlight made her squint.

Once her vision recovered, the sight before her left her stunned—

Pedestrians wandered around in twos and threes outside the shops lining both sides of the street.

But they all had animal ears on their heads and tails trailing behind them.

Under the blue sky and white clouds, it should have been a refreshing, pleasant scene...

If not for those inhuman features.

The moment Xiao Huasheng appeared in her severely damaged state, she drew plenty of attention.

Nearly everyone could not help turning to look at her.

Was this some kind of public exposure play? Fortunately, even if they looked through it, there was nothing to see.

Seeing these unusual people, Xiao Huasheng could not help muttering to herself.

"Where exactly is this...?"

"Hey, what are you doing standing there?"

A voice suddenly came from beside her.

Xiao Huasheng turned and saw a woman in uniform holding a triangular shield decorated with an evil demon's face, studying her with a scrutinizing gaze.

As the only six-star Defender in her squad, how could Xiao Huasheng not recognize her?

Hoshiguma!!

Starting in Lungmen?

Xiao Huasheng's expression turned strange.

Why had she ended up in this Terra?

"Goodbye, sir!" Knowing nothing good ever came from getting tangled up with the police, she immediately greeted her.

Xiao Huasheng was about to slip away when someone grabbed the hem of her clothes.

She struggled with all her strength, but no matter what she did, she could not escape the other woman's grasp.

Under that watchful gaze, she only had the strength of an ordinary heavyweight boxer.

That was nowhere near the superhuman physiques that Terra's people seemed to have as standard.

Although pulling out her gun would guarantee tremendous destructive power, escaping was not impossible.

But... why would she do that?

"Hey, hey, hey. Are you really that eager to do something so indecent right out on the street?" Hoshiguma narrowed her eyes and pulled Xiao Huasheng into her arms.

The domineering Hoshiguma nearly pressed her face against Xiao Huasheng's, close enough that she could feel her breath.

"I'm not doing anything indecent!" she said, hurriedly waving her hands.

That only made her look even more suspicious—who wore a battle-damaged bulletproof vest on the street?

"I know Laterano is very free, but this isn't Laterano. I'm not letting you run naked through the streets. Come back to the station and register. Soul-Soothing Night is coming soon, and suspicious people like you all need to be put on record."

"I'm not doing anything so indecent! Besides, what I wear isn't within your jurisdiction, is it? I'm not actually running around naked."

Soul-Soothing Night was a traditional festival in this world, something like Halloween.

People dressed up in all sorts of outfits, so that excuse should have worked...

Hoshiguma glanced at her exposed left thigh, clearly unconvinced.

Then she changed her angle.

"Fine. If you're not doing something risqué, then what's with this bulletproof vest?"

Clang!

The demon-faced shield struck the bulletproof vest with a crisp sound.

Despite its severe damage, its bulletproof performance remained intact.

"This vest is good quality. Which arms factory made it?"

Xiao Huasheng wanted to cry but had no tears.

"Can we settle this peacefully?"

"No."

With a click of the handcuffs, this special entity was "contained" just like that.

Who would have thought she would receive silver bracelets the moment she arrived in this world?

Even though she had not done anything.

The reason she was being so cooperative was also because the person arresting her was the dashing Hoshiguma.

At such close range, Xiao Huasheng's curiosity exploded.

Since Hoshiguma was here, Chen should be here too, right? Was this Lungmen? Penguin Logistics' base?

What expression would the boss make if she suddenly appeared at Penguin Logistics?

Just thinking about it was amusing.

The town residents were incredibly friendly toward Hoshiguma. One Little Girl even tucked a flower into her hair.

Meanwhile, Xiao Huasheng received scrutinizing looks all along the way.

Laterano people... worked in the adult entertainment industry too?

When they entered the Lungmen Guard Department building, a row of fierce-looking gang members was still handcuffed outside its entrance.

After a round of inspection.

Once they discovered that Xiao Huasheng had no connection whatsoever to the local adult entertainment industry, the Lungmen Guard Department released her.

"Sorry. It's a special period lately, and Lungmen's gang activity has gotten far too rampant," Hoshiguma said apologetically.

She had not expected her to be so polite. She certainly had not been reasonable when arresting her.

Muttering inwardly, Xiao Huasheng then prepared to push her luck.

"Then... can I mooch a meal?" Xiao Huasheng blinked. "Other than hydrochloric acid, I haven't eaten anything decent since crossing over."

Hoshiguma froze for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter. "Hahahaha, you're really interesting!"

"What kind of person is so interesting?" A cool voice came from afar.

"Chen, come take a look! This girl says she wants to eat prison food!"

Looking over, Xiao Huasheng saw a stern police officer slowly approaching.

Exusiai VS Exusiai

The newcomer had a curvaceous figure and a cold face, radiating an air that made her seem difficult to approach.

But the blade she usually carried was not hanging at her waist. Today, it was completely empty.

"This one..."

With only a single glance, Chen urged Xiao Huasheng to leave.

"We don't welcome Penguin Logistics people coming here to mooch meals."

"This feels pretty novel—being mistaken for someone else."

"I didn't mistake you for anyone."

"Yo." Xiao Huasheng could only greet her as well.

Hoshiguma scratched her dark green hair, not quite understanding what this meant. "Chen, this is..."

"A penguin Angel working under a penguin."

It was truly the first time Xiao Huasheng had ever heard such a description.

Chen looked at Xiao Huasheng with a headache and impatiently questioned her.

"So Penguin Logistics has changed to a new style of work uniform again? Why is it so revealing this time?"

"It got blown apart in a fight."

Chen's eye twitched.

"You really dared to say that."

Xiao Huasheng merely gave an awkward smile. To avoid being thrown back into the station, she said nothing else.

Before long, Chen chased her out of the Lungmen Guard Department.

Back on the street, Xiao Huasheng felt a pang in her stomach.

The Lungmen Guard Department would not even let her mooch a meal.

What a pity.

But another problem followed right after.

It was the issue of Terra's timeline.

As an extremely devoted story enthusiast and lore researcher, she naturally knew most of the timeline.
