Chapter 163 The Storm Is Brewing
As evening fell, the crescent moon slowly appeared in the sky.
A dark figure walked down the street, glancing at his phone every now and then.
"Are you sure our target is this way, Erjia?"
"That's right, the order has been given. Today, all the magical girls in Qiuyuan No. 1 Middle School must be wiped out. Zero tolerance" came a hoarse voice in the young man's ear.
"Go to hell, are you tired of living or am I tired of living? You know there's a whole magic squad in here."
The young man in the jacket glanced at the campus where everyone had gone to bed, and swallowed hard.
If it weren't for the mission, this place would be...
No one in their right mind would want to come here.
Why waste your time at Changya High School, instead of just wasting your days playing with figurines?
In particular, I heard that recently they bought a new figurine and it was delivered, but unfortunately, it was reserved by Lord Snake.
Seemingly noticing the change in the jacket-wearing youth's tone, the voice beside him took on a hint of boredom:
"Alright, since you're not capable, let's narrow down our target and capture Li Xuanyu, a high school student and the daughter of Li Jianguo, the owner of the One Yuan Noodle Shop."
"Hmph." The young man in the jacket snorted coldly.
He frowned as he looked at Qiuyuan No. 1 Middle School, where the lights were already off. He hated schools the most, especially schools like this one that were full of high school students.
Who knows, a few magical girls or magical women might pop out from inside.
"Sigh... It's true what they say, 'The higher-ups just talk, but the people below are running themselves ragged.'"
The young man in the jacket sighed, but he couldn't refuse the orders he was given. Thinking this, he took the bag of Li Qun and went to the security room.
"Hey! Who are you? This is a school. Unauthorized personnel should stay away."
The security guard was watching some short videos when a long, dark shadow suddenly appeared out of the corner of his eye, startling him so much that he immediately shouted at it.
"Hey bro, here's the thing, my sister boards at Qiuyuan High School. She just called to tell me that she got up to have a late-night snack, so she made herself a bowl of instant noodles. But she wasn't looking where she was going and slipped and burned her hand. Considering that the school clinic is probably closed late at night, my dad is worried that something might have happened to his precious daughter, so he asked me to come and bring her some medicine."
As he spoke, the young man in the jacket very familiarly handed over a pack of Liqun cigarettes and waved the moist burn ointment from the plastic bag.
The security guard took the cigarette, his tone softening slightly. He glanced at the young man in the jacket and said with a smile:
"Tomorrow is the monthly exam. It's normal to want to eat something after studying late, but this is really careless. By the way, which building does your sister live in? I'll take you there."
"Yes, my sister doesn't have any other hobbies, she just likes to eat late-night snacks. As for where she lives in the dormitory, I think it's in Building 5, Room 201." The young man in the jacket pondered for a moment and then slowly said.
Unexpectedly, no sooner had he finished speaking than the security guard suddenly rushed into the security room, pulled out a black baton, his eyes filled with warning, and said fiercely:
"There's no exam tomorrow! The five dorm buildings still aren't finished being renovated. Your sister's sleeping in a bare, unfinished room tonight! You don't look like a good person either. Get out of here right now, or I'm calling the police."
"I advise you not to meddle in other people's business."
Hearing the security guard's warning, the young man in the jacket rubbed his temples. He really didn't expect that he would be recognized by a mere security guard before he even entered the school gate.
"Hmph, don't talk to me like that. Back when I was in the underworld, you were just a little brat! As long as I'm here, you're not getting in."
The thin security guard took off the security uniform he was wearing over his clothes.
Under the lamplight at dusk,
It revealed his strong, muscular physique, and his arms bore horrifying scars from laser removal of his tattoos.
Click,
In front of the security guards, the young man in the jacket bent the iron fence of the school gate. He slowly turned his head and said, "Are you still going to stop me?"
The security guard hesitated for a moment, then immediately chickened out and ran into the security room, locking the iron gate from the inside.
Since he couldn't confront them head-on, he called the police; he wasn't stupid.
"Sigh! Isn't it good to be alive?"
Outside the window,
The young man in the jacket sighed helplessly when he saw the other person take out his phone. He really didn't want to commit any more killings, but there were always people who wanted to make things difficult for him.
A gentle evening breeze stirred, and a dark shadow flashed by.
Before the security guard could even press the dial button, he was lifted high into the air by the shadowy figure.
The young man in the jacket looked somewhat puzzled on his cold face: "You only make 3000 a month, why are you working yourself to death?"
"Hiss...cough cough! You're wrong. I clearly earn 4,500 a month, with room and board included, and the school also provides five social insurances and one housing fund."
More importantly, I was once a student at Qiuyuan No. 1 Middle School, how could I possibly let you hurt my younger schoolmates?
"Hehe, interesting."
The young man in the jacket applied a slight pressure with his palm, and the security guard's neck snapped with a crack, instantly losing its breath.
The young man in the jacket grabbed the security guard's back and ripped it open, but no blood flowed out. He then perfectly slipped his body inside.
Under the bright moonlight, he walked into the security booth, dressed in a security guard uniform.
Ten minutes or so
He walked out of Qiuyuan No.1 Middle School with a smug look on his face.
"Erjia, can you at least get your information accurate? Last time you told me that the magical girl's strength was only at the seed stage."
As a result, when I charged at them, they unleashed their nascent power and almost killed me.
"This time, you told me that Li Xuanyu is boarding at Qiuyuan No.1 Middle School and lives in Room 201, Building 5."
"How can you blame me? The information I gave you clearly stated that Li Xuanyu would be boarding at Qiuyuan No. 1 Middle School next semester, living in Building 5, Room 201. You didn't read the information I gave you carefully before rushing over."
"Why didn't you remind me earlier?"
"Why not watch entertainment for free when you can?"
"Damn it."
"Don't talk nonsense. We're relatives. Don't let your insults lead to your own family members."
Jacket Youth:
In the public toilet,
Li Xuanyu walked out with her schoolbag on her back.
This place, where she traveled back and forth to Qiuyuan No. 1 Middle School,
It's almost become her second home.
Now, she has already taken leave from Changya High School and doesn't need to attend evening self-study sessions.
Basically, every afternoon after school, she would go to Qiuyuan No.1 Middle School to study magical girl courses.
My father initially had some objections, but after seeing my grades improve by leaps and bounds, he immediately stopped objecting.
But from then on,
He always stands alone on the balcony, gazing at the moon, smoking and wallowing in self-pity.
Li Xuanyu is obvious without even needing to guess.
This is Dad complaining again about not having the right resources to send her to Qiuyuan No. 1 Middle School...:
At this time of year,
She would become hesitant to speak.
This isn't actually a problem with the school, but rather a problem with that group of villains, the Villainess.
They used extremely cruel methods to capture magical girls.
However, Violet-senpai contacted her recently, saying that she had applied to her superiors to transfer her to Akien No. 1 Middle School next semester. She said there was no need to worry about tuition fees, as the Magical Girl Headquarters would provide a subsidy.
She was very happy when she heard the news.
Changya High School
She really couldn't stand it for another second.
The noise that lingered in her ears every day was enough to drive her to a mental breakdown, but thanks to the magical barrier given to her by the magician Kikyo last time, the noise, while not completely gone, was much less.
Oh dear.
It was the sound of footsteps on tree branches.
Li Xuanyu slowly turned her head and looked at the dark alley behind her.
She hugged her schoolbag tighter.
She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt that there were several footsteps behind her.
Someone is following her.
"Who goes there? Come out!"
"You can't even walk properly, I don't even know what to say to you."
A few thugs emerged from the woods, dressed in bizarre clothes and sporting unusually dyed hair.
His gaze toward her was filled with boiling greed.
"Am I right? As long as we stay here, we're sure to catch a girl coming out of the public toilet."
"Do you think she might be one of those people who do exhibitionism online?"
"Hehehe, it's really possible in the middle of the night. This girl looks very cute, I can't wait any longer."
"Use your brains! Look at her clothes. She's wearing everything she should and shouldn't wear. She looks very proper. Do you think she might be a magical girl?"
A sentence that seemed to drift out from somewhere suddenly silenced them all.
The thugs thought about it for a moment,
With such a handsome face, he took off running.
Watching the few thugs flee in panic, Li Xuanyu slowly withdrew her gaze and looked at the figure speaking beside her.
The visitor is not good.
Almost at the same time as seeing him,
Without any hesitation, Li Xuanyu immediately activated her transformation.
【Green Orange Star】
"The power of the green tangerine connects heaven and earth, surging within my heart!"
"At this moment, I call upon the power of magic, to transform into light, to protect my loved ones, to be the guardians of the world."
"Green Tangerine—"
next moment,
A gentle, soft blue light appeared.
A beautiful young girl in light blue appeared beside the path.
She had a slender and well-proportioned figure, and wore a blue magical dress woven from various flowers.
hide!
Almost instinctively, Li Xuanyu soared into the air. The stench of the abyss and the faint smell of blood emanated from behind her, and the chilling, repulsive aura shot straight up her spine.
She didn't dare turn around to see what kind of monster it was.
Only after a few seconds, when she was flying in the air and confirmed that she was probably safe, did she slowly turn around.
She looked at the enemy who attacked her from behind.
He was a young man wearing a black jacket, and he didn't look very old.
Humanity?
Li Xuanyu frowned. No, this could never be human.
Then there's only one possibility.
He is either a demonic slave or a human demon.
What made her even more uneasy was that she didn't know how strong the other party was.
While she hesitated,
The young man in the jacket vanished without warning.
"It's gone?"
Cold sweat broke out on Li Xuanyu's forehead; this was the first time she had encountered such an elusive enemy.
His hands, gripping the magic wand, were turning white, yet he continued chanting incantations.
"Sasha~"
The emerald green Abyss Detective spell bloomed in the air, and countless cyan lights shone brightly in the night.
Ding! This is the warning sound of a magic spell encountering an enemy.
Is this position behind me?
[Stone Manipulation Technique!]
Li Xuanyu shouted, and a huge rock suddenly appeared behind her.
After retreating ten meters behind,
A dozen or so intensely hot fireballs hurtled toward the same direction.
Boom! Boom!
In the sky, the fiery fireballs seemed to have hit their targets, and they began to explode in spectacular fashion, making the night sky exceptionally dazzling.
However, before she could wait, Li Xuanyu breathed a sigh of relief.
A monstrous creature resembling a terrifying fishman appeared in the white mist, its eyes reflecting crimson, and its mouth filled with sharp teeth—a truly disgusting monster.
What is this thing?
Why haven't I seen this in the Abyss Creature Code?
"Your fireball isn't powerful enough, Miss Qingju!"
The terrifying fish-man let out a roar and pounced swiftly towards Li Xuanyu in mid-air.
"Get away from me, you disgusting monster."
Even though the Kikyo mage had taken them to the training battlefield a few days ago, the disgust and cruelty she felt still made her feel physically uncomfortable looking at this ugly monster.
Li Xuanyu almost simultaneously with the opponent's charge.
Magic spells were used like free money.
Over time, she discovered that the magic power in her Green Orange Star recovered very quickly and had a very large capacity, so she didn't have to worry about magic power depletion at all.
[Vines are forbidden!]
[Shadow Chains!]
[Ice Blade Technique!]
[Fireball!]
【Arrow of Light! 】
She used almost all the magic spells she could muster, and most of these attacks hit the merman.
Several of the dark green scales were blown off, and dripping blood fell to the ground.
Li Xuanyu's face, however, showed no smile.
She saw the other person land in an extremely contorted position, charging forward again like a cheetah, with a speed much greater than before.
This pose!
It's about to launch another attack!
Without a second thought, Li Xuanyu began to rapidly pull her body upwards to control the attack range on both sides.
However, it was ultimately too late.
The merman exerted tremendous force; with his full power, he leaped over a height of more than ten meters.
A chill ran up my spine.
Her calf was grabbed by the merman, his hook-like claws looking incredibly sinister under the silver moonlight.
Li Xuanyu gritted her teeth, exerted force in her lower body, turned around and pulled her legs back, then concentrated her magic power on her magic wand, using it as a melee weapon, and smashed it with all her might towards the fishman's terrifying fish head.
bump!
This shot hit.
The merman was smashed and sent flying.
Take this opportunity
Li Xuanyu quickly fled in the opposite direction of the sky, fighting if she could win, and running away if she couldn't.
These are words that Senior Violet specifically instructed me to say during class.
She didn't run very far.
A clear, gentle male voice sounded in her ear:
"Miss Qingju, I advise you not to even think about running away. Your father is still in my hands."
Li Xuanyu turned around and found that there was someone beside her who hadn't noticed her at all.
Another young man in a white shirt with a warm expression appeared.
He was also floating in the air, with thin wings fluttering behind him, similar to the thin wings of a cicada.
The first time I saw the other person,
Li Xuanyu's first thought was whether the teenager would fall to his death if she burned his wings with a fireball.
However, considering that her father was still in their hands, she ultimately did not put this idea into practice.
"Who are you?" Li Xuanyu asked.
escape,
There's no escaping it now.
She could only stall for time as much as possible, sending her location via CCSA to alert Kikyo-senpai, Violet-senpai, and the other magical girls to hurry over.
Who would have thought,
The young man in the white shirt hadn't spoken yet.
The endless roar of the merman swept over her again. Li Xuanyu turned around abruptly and found the merman's round, scarlet eyes staring straight at her back. This time, the merman was carrying a weapon—a harpoon.
This group of people has no sense of martial ethics.
Ignoring the possibility of splash damage from magical attacks, Li Xuanyu unconsciously conjured a massive, blazing fireball.
At the same time, the mermen launched their attack, their sharp harpoons plunging straight into her abdomen.
boom!
puff!
The fishman was not in good shape when it was attacked by the fireball face to face. One of its two scarlet eyes was roasted into a sour raisin by the fireball, and a large area of its dark green scales was roasted to silvery white. The fishy smell was mixed with the smell of roasted meat.
Li Xuanyu's magical shield shattered, and her magical dress around her abdomen was torn.
Several streaks of bright red blood slowly flowed down.
At this moment, the air
It became serious.
A tearing pain shot through her abdomen, and Li Xuanyu's breathing quickened.
This time, the murlocs' recklessness,
He seized the opportunity to severely damage the opponent, and it seemed that he was gaining the upper hand.
But when she turned around and looked at the young man in the white shirt watching the show, a sense of helplessness flashed through her heart.
She was confident in fighting one against one, but she was struggling against two. What worried her even more was that her father was still in the hands of the other side.
Seeing that the outcome was already decided,
The young man in the white shirt landed in front of the almost roasted fishman, smiling broadly, and said, "I really never imagined that one day you would exude such a captivating fragrance!"
"roll!"
