Yes, I did all of this!

. . . . . .

"—Here is the information you requested."

A few days after Yu Zhi started school, Duanmu Mo contacted Longka and handed him a document.

"Is it finished?" Longka nodded, took the document, and began to read it.

"It's not easy to figure out their preferences, so I spent some time and also compiled this list for you. I'm sure you'll be satisfied."

"..."

Ignoring Duanmu Mo's words, Leviathan focused solely on the actual results, flipping through the documents he had provided, its gaze rapidly sweeping across each page.

Among his hanged ghosts were several who were fans of magical girls, so by combining their memories, Longka could tell at a glance which of the information Duanmu Mo gave him matched or not.

"Oh?"

As he flipped through the pages, Longka paused, noticing a line of bold text:

[—Yuhi's true personality isn't as tough as people imagine; she's actually very soft-hearted and even cries easily.]

"..."

Longka looked up at Duanmu Mo, who was boiling water, and asked, "There's a line of text in bold here. Could you explain it?"

"What is it?"

Duanmu Mo walked over curiously, then paused for a moment: "She also wrote this... Sorry, I didn't organize it carefully enough. If you think this information won't please your fans, then forget it."

However, Longka keenly heard his inner monologue, and no matter what he said afterward, it was drawn to his attention.

—Her? Who exactly is this "her"? Judging from Duanmu Mo's tone, it seemed that this document was completed jointly by him and that woman.

Without the slightest hesitation, Leviathan immediately thought of his nemesis, Cangyuan.

Although from her own perspective, a mere human is unworthy to be her nemesis, from Cang Yuan's perspective, she will always exist alongside the changes in Cang Yuan's fate. Therefore, whether she admits it or not, this troublesome magical girl has already regarded her as her nemesis.

With her power, it's not impossible for her to leave the seal in the form of a clone. However, this would greatly limit the clone, since this place and the seal are essentially two different worlds. Therefore, Leviathan isn't worried about what she can do to it in this world.

The most important thing now is that she seems to be cooperating with this human, Duanmu Mo, to carry out this kind of boring commission.

"..." After pondering for a moment and sorting out his thoughts, Longka slowly said, "Could it be that this commission wasn't done by Duanmu Mo?"

"That's not quite right. Well... to put it simply, the recent strange incidents have led to many people asking me for help. I'm willing but unable to do so, so I found an assistant to help me with the requests. This document was completed by her and me together."

Since Duanmu Mo was lying, people would naturally think in the direction they wanted to hear.

"She's a bit shy, so she usually doesn't show up. The matter is between you and me, so just leave her alone."

Duanmu Mo said, and Longka nodded silently.

Judging from what this human said, it seems that Cangyuan was indeed involved behind this commission, which makes this information more credible.

He continued flipping through the documents, but gradually, Longka's brows furrowed.

The contents of these documents are indeed very detailed, but apart from that, there are fewer traces left by Cang Yuan, and the rest are just stereotypical impressions of magical girls in a formulaic way.

This level of content falls far short of Leviathan's expectations.

Even if Cangyuan is behind him, it needs far too little information. Although it has plenty of time to gather information, Neville doesn't have that much free time.

—That damn lunatic is probably plotting something against it somewhere.

Therefore, Leviathan must now accelerate its pace, even if it means using radical methods...

However, doing so might be noticed by Cang Yuan, so Leviathan was still somewhat hesitant.

Just as it was pondering, a clear aroma of tea wafted over, and Longka saw Duanmu Mo placing a cup of tea in front of him and Longka.

"Drink up, don't be shy, it's on me." Duanmu Mo smiled and sat down opposite him, raising his teacup to Longka.

"...Thank you."

Longka took a sip of tea and began to ponder.

It has a good memory. The two times it came before, it gave itself plain water to drink, but now it's different.

Does this mean anything?

"Hmm, good tea."

"I'm glad you like it." Duanmu Mo smiled. "Drinking this kind of tea is good for relaxation when you're stressed. It's really difficult to find things to please your fans."

Duanmu Mo took a sip of tea and let out a long breath: "If those fans hit the target right away, it's indeed easy to make a lot of money. But at the same time, these fans have a lot of triggers. If you're not careful, you'll be criticized. It took me a lot of time to figure out what they don't like."

"Yeah."

Seeing that Duanmu Mo had said a lot of things with a dissatisfied look, Longka did not reply, but just nodded lightly.

"Ah, of course, I'm not implying that you should give me more commission, I'm just venting a little."

Duanmu Mo joked, saying...

"Um......"

Longka also took a sip of tea and made up his mind.

—While none of what Duanmu Mo said was of any practical use, it did convey an important message to Longka.

Perhaps I can go beyond the client-client relationship with him and become closer friends, which would suit my interests.

Whether through verbal persuasion or by learning about the magical girl behind him, she can make good progress.

While Leviathan was pondering, Duanmu Mo casually remarked:

"To be honest, it's really hard to find out the true preferences of magical girls. I originally wanted to learn about the magical girls of the past, but apart from their battle records, the information is also somewhat vague."

"A magical girl from the past?"

"...It was just a little curiosity." Faced with Longka's question, Duanmu Mo suddenly fell silent for a moment, a complicated expression flashing across his face. Then he sighed and waved his hand to tell him not to worry about it.

However, how could Longka not care? From Duanmu Mo's expression, it vaguely saw the source of this human's sorrow.

Previously, it and Duanmu Mo had always maintained a professional attitude, never revealing any emotional flaws.

Now, because of what's on his mind, this person's emotions have shown a slight flaw that can be exploited.

Therefore, Leviathan can manipulate people's hearts at will, even without using power.

...But right now, it can't rush things.

“Since you’re unwilling to elaborate, then I won’t press the matter further.” Longka also stood up and nodded to him: “Everyone has their own privacy, I can understand.”

"Thank you." Duanmu Mo smiled casually, stood up and shook hands with him: "I look forward to your next request, and I will do my best."

"Well then, see you next time." Longka put on his hat, turned and left.

—After leaving the office, Longka turned to look out the window, a glint of algae green flashing in his eyes, but he quickly suppressed it.

Perhaps it was because of Cangyuan that he became interested in ancient magical girls, but that was not enough to give him reason to worry.

Perhaps it was his inferiority complex as a human being, or perhaps his confusion about the future, but whatever the reason, since he was interested in the past, Leviathan would provide some information, but this was like bait, enticing him to fall into their trap.

"...I look forward to meeting you again, Duanmu Mo."

Leviathan pulled down his hat brim, took the documents, and left.

—And behind it, in the office, Duanmu Mo gazed out the window for a while before calmly withdrawing his gaze.

"call......"

He breathed a sigh of relief, sat down in his office chair, and put his feet up on the desk: "Perhaps being an actor is more suitable for me than running an agency."

He muttered to himself, "The bait has been cast, now it's just Leviathan that's biting."

I wonder what Leviathan would feel if he took a bite and found out that everything he was given was fake bait.

Although it's a bit unfair that Xia Yan gave her the persona of a crybaby... to be honest, it's not like she's never cried.

For example, when she pierced my chest, or a few days ago in the hotel room... But that time it was just physiological crying.

Duanmu Mo was also reflecting on whether he had been too intense back then. After all, with his modified human senses and his understanding of the human body through Shuka technology, it would have been easy for him to exploit weaknesses.

Therefore, if they really went all out, the result would be a one-sided venting, which Duanmu Mo didn't like to do. He still cared a lot about the interaction between the two parties.

After that, Xia Yan was indeed well-behaved for a few days, but she quickly became naughty again, which left him feeling quite helpless.

Thinking of this, Duanmu Mo suddenly shook his head, putting those thoughts out of his mind.

For now, our focus should be on Leviathan. As far as Duanmu Mo is concerned, that guy needs to find out the true identity of the magical girl himself, and he also needs to pry the truth about the magical girl sealing the monster out of Leviathan.

Chapter 536: The Work

. . . . . .

Rustling...

In the school's art room, the students of the Language Weaving class sat at their respective easels, looking at the plaster statue in the center, and diligently drawing.

The atmosphere here wasn't exactly quiet; the students whispered among themselves from time to time, and occasionally a few obvious chuckles escaped their lips.

Since this is outside the classroom, and to avoid emergencies, students naturally won't leave their phones in the classroom far away; instead, they'll keep them themselves.

Because of the canvas, many people also took the opportunity to play on their phones, so it's normal that the atmosphere was more lively than usual.

The teacher simply turned a blind eye to these disturbances.

Anyway, it's an art class, so those who know, know.

"...Hmm, I've finished reading all the comics I wanted to read."

Hui Zi fiddled with her paintbrush, quietly scrolling through her phone, and said in a low voice.

"Isn't there anything better to look at..."

Beside her, Shen Wuling glanced at Huizi, a string of data flashing in her eyes, causing her phone to freeze for a moment.

"Ok?"

Hui Zi looked puzzled, swiped a couple more times, and when there was still no response, the website's recommendation section automatically refreshed, redirecting to several other articles.

This jump also caught Huizi's attention on a comic book with a more exquisite cover.

—Although Shenwuyin said that she could not use her superpowers to gain popularity or publicity, it didn't count as cheating. It just made her phone malfunction for a while until her comic appeared.

A few days ago, after signing a contract with the editor, Shen Wuling sent her the next few chapters to review, and the editor generously gave her a fairly good recommendation.
