Yes, I did all of this!

Hui Zi felt embarrassed to interfere in her friend's family affairs.

Looking at Yuzhi with a strange gaze, Huizi hesitated for a long time before finally managing to offer a reassuring smile:

"Well, whatever your troubles are, why don't you explain them to your family properly?"

"Family...?" Yuzhi pondered for a moment, imagining what would happen if she told her parents about her magical girl identity:

"I'll probably be very angry," she sighed and shook her head.

Perhaps in the adult world, the identity of a magical girl offers many benefits, but that's not something Yuzhi can consider. In her eyes, becoming a magical girl and facing dangerous monsters is undoubtedly putting her life at risk by hiding it from her parents.

What she didn't know was that her current thoughts were completely different from what Hui Zi was thinking.

Are you angry...?

Faced with Yuzhi's words, Huizi twitched her lips, looking like she wanted to say something but didn't dare to.

"What's wrong? Huizi, it seems like you've had something on your mind since earlier?" Yuzhi couldn't help but ask when she saw her like this.

"No, no, no, it's nothing, I just..." Her mind raced, and Huizi quickly came up with an excuse: "I was just thinking about how to have fun during the holidays."

“That’s true.” Yu Zhi smiled. “How are the invitations to the beach going? I’ve already bought a swimsuit.”

"Don't worry about that. All the students in the class are willing to come, as are many students from other classes."

Taking a deep breath, and clearing her mind of the image of Yuzhi going to the swimsuit shop with that man, Huizi said with a bright smile:

“I did the math, and some of the open days weren’t holidays. During that time, there weren’t many tourists from other cities, so many of those who went there were students like us who were already on vacation.”

Although Huizi doesn't dislike crowds, when there are a lot of people, booking the whole place is the best option, and when most of them are acquaintances, she can have more fun.

"That's great, I'll be looking forward to it."

Yu Zhi smiled faintly. Just then, the school bell rang, and the two stopped talking and picked up their books for class.

. . . . . .

In the deserted factory, Cangyi stood quietly on the container, looking at the scenery before him, his eyes behind the mask becoming dim and heavy.

In his own world, Twilight died here, and at the same time began his life that he had tried to escape countless times.

In past cycles of reincarnation, Cangyi had never come here, not only because there was no necessary battle to take place here, but also to escape his past.

"...I thought I could have grown a little, but it seems that I am still that confused child."

Standing here triggered the most vulnerable part of Cangyi's heart. She took a deep breath, suddenly lowered her head, and felt the unease and fear that had once appeared in her heart.

Then, these emotions were disrupted by the presence of one person:

"...This is the only way."

I don't know what Cangyi is thinking, but she has already made a different decision in her heart.

Chapter 110: Before the Rain

—Ring ring ring!

The jarring noise disturbed the students in class. They looked up as the alarm blared from the bell.

"Students, please evacuate immediately! There are strange individuals causing destruction in the vicinity. Please evacuate immediately!"

“Strange person…” Yu Zhi turned her head and looked solemnly at the distance outside the window, where she could clearly see the smoke and fire caused by the destruction.

After the bell rang, the students immediately left, showing no reluctance to attend class.

Yuzhi immediately left the classroom, but on the way, she skillfully changed direction and transformed into a magical girl, rushing towards the location of the monster.

...When she arrived, she saw a group of strange, swaying figures on the street.

Covered in thorns and wearing tattered combatant clothing, it was clearly another strange creature sent by the Wild Poison Vine.

However, she did not see the figure of Huang Yudu Man, and did not know whether he was hiding or not at all.

"We can only do our best to solve it..."

Huangyi drew his katana and stared at the monsters that were causing endless destruction.

. . . . . .

"Have strange people appeared at Yuzhi's place too?"

As the sun sets, he stands on a street in another place, facing countless enemies.

She turned her head to look in another direction, sensing the strange feeling emanating from there.

"With so many enemies suddenly appearing, what exactly is the guy who possessed the poisonous vine's body planning?"

A bright red flame ignited in his hand. Feeling the not-so-strong power within his body, Yuhi took a deep breath and clenched his fist.

"Although I can't unleash my full power yet, it's enough to deal with you all!"

boom!

With a sudden stomp, Xi Ri charged towards the enemies in front of him.

. . . . . .

Step, step, step—

Two footsteps sounded and pushed open the factory gate.

Wild Poison Vine and Demon Puppet entered the factory and looked at Cang Yi standing on the container.

"..."

The two looked at each other, and Huang Yudu Man raised his hand and placed it on the wall beside him.

Thorns suddenly spread out, completely enveloping the entire factory and forming a barrier that Cangyi could not escape.

"Has it finally arrived?"

Cangyi jumped off the container and slowly drew his katana; white light crackling with electricity emanated from the blade.

"The moonless night is about to pass. I thought you would start robbing a few days ago, but I didn't expect you to have waited until now."

“I didn’t expect this either.” Huang Yudu Man stared at Cang Yi, as if he could see right through her: “This world actually has a time looper, and in this era no less.”

"It seems you discovered it a long time ago."

Huang Yudu revealed her origins, but Cang Yi did not seem surprised.

It's not surprising that the other party, being a remnant soul that slipped out of the underworld, could know these things.

"That magical girl named Huangyi is connected to your body. It seems that she is you in this era."

In previous battles, Ara-no-Tokuman had noticed this change, and the reason for strengthening the combatants into monsters was to confirm this information.

The result was indeed correct, meaning that the Radiant Wing itself was the Azure Wing's biggest weakness.

While confronting the desolate poisonous vines, Cangyi suddenly sensed something and turned to look in another direction:

"...By weakening me by exhausting Huangyi's stamina, they can use me to deal with this remnant from the past?"

"I said I would get everything I want."

Wild Poison Vine raised his hands, and a samurai sword covered in thorns appeared in his hands.

"Roar!"

Beside him, the demonic puppet let out a restless growl, staring intently at Cang Yi.

"Let's go."

Wild Poison Vine raised two samurai swords and pointed them at Cang Yi. The demonic puppet roared in response and pounced on Cang Yi.

Battle is imminent.

. . . . . .

"—It's really lively today."

Sitting in his office, Duanmu Mo propped his chin up and looked out the window, while news broadcasts came from the computer in front of him.

He looked up at the window again. The weather was still gloomy, with dark clouds pressing down on the earth, and not a drop of rain fell.

If it rains, it's refreshing, but the oppressive mood persists, and the anxiety of an impending storm fuels the restlessness in people's hearts.

Fortunately, the weather forecast says that there will be torrential rain tonight, and all the unpleasantness will probably dissipate like dark clouds tonight.

"Huang Yu, Du Man, Cang Yi, everyone has been looking forward to this moment. The outcome will be revealed before the sun rises the next day."

Duanmu Mo glanced at the time, raised his hand, and fiddled with the driver in his hand.

Maintaining a mysterious smile, Duanmu Mo's breathing gradually quickened: "Me too..."

Looking at the driver from the side, the smooth surface reflected Duanmu Mo's gradual recollection of the past:

boom--

A strange noise was heard, and Duanmu Mo, who was soaking in the culture chamber, opened his eyes in an unknown liquid and looked at the scene in front of him in a daze.

—Similar culture chambers were scattered all around, each containing a figure floating in it... This was how it was before, but now, the figures in the culture chambers were scattered here and there, each empty culture chamber telling the story of a life's death.

Now, a group of strange scientists wearing white coats but with bizarrely shaped heads are standing in front of one of the culture chambers, where the figures have been shattered into pieces of flesh, and the blood has stained the liquid inside bright red.

Looking at the incubation chamber, their eyes remained expressionless as they calmly discussed the matter.

"Did they fail again because of a mismatch in strength?"

"It's ultimately unrealistic to cram all the power of the knights and monsters into the experimental subjects' bodies, since they were just ordinary people before that."

"Should we try again with a different test subject?"

"Whether it's an embryo, a growing child, or a strong adult, this approach always ends in failure, so let's just give up."

"What should we do then? We don't have many test subjects left."

"..."

The eccentric scientists remained silent for a moment, and then one of them offered a suggestion:

"In that case, let's implant the prototype of the power into the body, and let the test subject continuously improve during the subsequent learning after the modification, so that he can obtain the power that is most suitable for him in his growth. How about that?"

Upon hearing this, the other eccentric scientists discussed for a while and then nodded in agreement: "After the modification is complete, Shocker will provide the test subjects with an environment to grow and make them the best killing machines—this is indeed a good idea."

"Let's begin then."

The eccentric scientists dispersed, and then one of them walked up to Duanmu Mo and began to operate methodically...
