Get off work and become a magical girl

Chapter 351 Arrowroot Potato

Lin Xiaolu thought that this suddenly appeared black and red magic girl had bad intentions, and she even had her magic wand in hand, ready to use her magic suit. But she didn't expect that instead of fighting, she greeted Bohe openly, as if they knew each other?

However, although the other party did not seem to show any hostility, Lin Xiaolu always felt that there was a faint sense of crisis in the atmosphere.

"…How are you, Arrowroot Potato?"

Bohe, who had become the center of attention, smiled reluctantly. She turned her back to Lin Xiaolu and Bai Jingxuan, put one hand behind her back, and kept making gestures that represented "staying put." Then, she greeted the person opposite her in a seemingly calm tone, "Thank you for your kind words. I am indeed trying to get along well with my two teammates and want to become friends with each other."

"But let's not talk about this kind of trivial matter. What I'm more curious about now is, were you the one who caused the commotion just now?"

Mint acted as if she was very curious, but her hands behind her back were slightly clenched at this time, indicating that she was not calm: "Why did you appear in this place?"

"Of course I'm taking the exam. Like you, I'm also looking for the nodes of the maze."

The black and red magical girl called "Arrow Root Potato" looked at Mint with interest, as if observing Mint's reaction: "I happened to meet a few idiots who wanted to block my way on the road, so I chased them away."

"Drive away? By elimination?" Bohe said in a gloomy way.

The magic fluctuations she had sensed before clearly had several sources, but after a certain moment, only the magic fluctuations belonging to the arrowroot potato remained, and all the other fluctuations became some kind of remnants. The only way to achieve this effect in this assessment was to eliminate the opponent.

"Of course? What kind of stupid question is that? Is there any other way?"

Mint's question was quite pointed, but Arrowroot Potato remained calm, even frank: "We are all very clear about each other's methods, right? Or are you the one who wants to play the role of a good kid in front of the new teammates you just met?"

Mint didn't answer her.

Instead, Lin Xiaolu suddenly spoke up at this time: "If you eliminate others directly, aren't you worried that all your points will be taken away by others?"

It was no wonder that she chose this opportunity to interrupt the conversation, because she was really concerned about this issue. In addition, it was almost obvious that the other party was not a good person. Not to mention that she had an ominous premonition in her heart, Bai Jingxuan behaved like a stimulated little animal. From the moment the other party appeared, she had been ready to fight, as if she would start a fight if she disagreed with him.

Lin Xiaolu felt that such a bad opponent would definitely not come to her just to chat. Rather than letting him slowly brew possible plots, it would be better to directly ask questions that she didn't understand, maybe she could regain some initiative?

"Is it necessary to ask such a stupid question?"

Arrowroot Potato smiled frivolously: "Why not eliminate them all before they confirm my identity?"

If the other party had said this answer at any other time, it would have seemed like something made up. But at this moment, when it reached everyone's ears, it seemed particularly believable.

There is no other reason to explain the other party's behavior.

A sane magical girl who wanted to get good grades would never attack other candidates with her face exposed. And Arrowroot didn't look like a lunatic and was taking the exam according to procedure, so her behavior could only be "without showing her face."

But even so, this explanation is still hard to believe. Just because Arrowroot seemed to be alone at this time, he claimed that he eliminated an entire team without the other party noticing?

"Aren't you worried about getting your teammates into trouble by adopting such a risky strategy?"

Subconsciously swallowing her saliva, Lin Xiaolu still didn't think the other party could do such a thing, so she tried to bring the problem back to the scope of common sense and consider the possibility that "the other team's teammates are just cleaning up the mess": "Even if you are confident that you won't reveal your identity, what if your teammates are identified?"

"This is really... I thought Bohe had found an interesting teammate, but judging from the two questions you asked, you are such a tacky little girl." Arrowroot sighed and looked at Lin Xiaolu with some disappointment: "It seems that you still don't understand the real rules of this assessment? Identity is the basis for mutual trust and cooperation among the weak. "As long as you know the identity of the other party, you don't have to worry about being betrayed" - this is certainly the survival rule of the weak. But for the absolutely strong, there is another way to explain this set of rules, that is: as long as you don't reveal your identity, then it doesn't matter how you plunder."

"I am a strong man, a hunter. How can a hunter act with his prey? If they want to play a boring puzzle game, then just go ahead and play. I have my own rules."

Arrow Potato continued, "Just like now, this maze node is already mine, so I have to confirm your identities before I officially take the results away..."

"If you didn't know Bo He, would you have eliminated all of us?" Lin Xiaolu asked with a blink.

"hehe."

Arrow Potato laughed out loud, then restrained his expression and raised his chin slightly: "Are you really an idiot? Isn't that obvious?"

"However, after actually meeting you, I still received a surprise. I didn't expect that my good sister would find such a special teammate."

As she spoke, her eyes slowly focused on Bai Jingxuan's face: "Perhaps this sister who has not spoken until now can introduce herself?"

In fact, in the short time since she appeared and spoke a few words, it was not the first time that she cast her eyes on Bai Jingxuan.

In fact, compared to Lin Xiaolu who took the initiative to speak, and even Bohe who was obviously an "old acquaintance", she paid more attention to Bai Jingxuan, obviously noticing something that concerned her. The invitation at this time was also the result of a long-term deliberate plan.

"I don't want to." But Bai Jingxuan looked at her with disgust, and spoke in a very decisive tone, almost having the words "I hate you" written on her face.

The smile on Arrowroot's face suddenly turned much colder.

She still stared at Bai Jingxuan, her blood-red eyes becoming sharper, as if she was going to penetrate Bai Jingxuan's head: "You are so unlovable."

"It seems to me that you have a mysterious aura that is hard for ordinary people to match."

She opened her mouth slightly, the tip of her tongue faintly passing between her lips and teeth: "No, not to say that it is better than ordinary people, but it should be said that it is more appetizing than the prey I devoured in the past."

Bai Jingxuan's body became even more tense.

Lin Xiaolu also showed some alertness after the other party said this. She looked at Jian Genshu with a perverted look and took the initiative to half-block Bai Jingxuan behind her.

The atmosphere became increasingly tense. Mint, who had been silent for a long time, spoke again:
"So, now that you've found us and greeted us, what are you going to do next? Persuade them to retreat? Persuade them to surrender? Your identity has been exposed now. Do you still have the capital to fight us?"

Obviously, this is also the reason why Lin Xiaolu and the other two have not taken action yet.

The restriction of identity is two-way. The other party did not take action directly at the beginning, but chose to show up and talk actively, which means that things will not develop to the worst point.

"Oh, you said this."

Arrowroot Potato put his hands on his hips and his expression returned to normal:

——"It takes too much mana to fight the remnant beast at the node by myself. I don't want to waste too much mana on this stupid big guy. You guys come and help me, and we'll split the points equally."
