Magical girls also have intensity anxiety

In the sky, clusters of clouds gathered, shrouding the sunlight and casting a gloomy glow over the city.

In the backlit room, the screen was so bright it was almost blinding, and the scroll wheel kept making a squeaking sound as the content on the screen scrolled by rapidly.

Mu Ming rubbed his eyes, which were sore from staring at the screen for a long time, and temporarily looked away from the screen.

He logged onto the magical girl forum as soon as he got up in the morning. The forum was called Xiao Hei, which sounded like a cat's name. The UI was surprisingly stylish, probably because there were programmers among the magical girls.

He searched all morning but couldn't find any information about the girl with the ancient style he met last night on the forum.

I don't know if it's a strange phenomenon that's been appearing recently, or if I'm just unlucky and have encountered something evil.

Mu Ming raised his phone and found the chat box with Jin Yu.

I'm really not your mother... Also, you're staying up too late.

"Should we ask about it...?"

Jin Yu is, after all, the person in charge of Changming City, and logically speaking, all the magical girls in the General Affairs Bureau here are under her jurisdiction. The one from yesterday was undoubtedly a magical girl.

However, Mu Ming searched through the magical girl album of the Changming City General Affairs Bureau but couldn't find the one from yesterday.

Although many magical girls look different before and after their transformation, as long as they don't deliberately use magic to cover it up, people who are familiar with them can actually see some similarities.

Mu Ming only glanced at her from a distance of over a hundred meters, but the image of the girl in ancient style was imprinted in his mind.

"That thing is incredibly malevolent, let's not ask about it for now."

He looked at the photo album, preparing to check it one last time.

Mu Ming recalled the face of the girl in the ancient style while comparing it with the photos in his album.

"Not a single one has a beauty mark under their eye..."

He murmured something, and his middle finger, which was scrolling the mouse, suddenly stopped.

How did he know she had a beauty mark under her eye if he couldn't see her face clearly?

"A beauty mark under the eye... pale pink lips... upturned eyes—"

The image of the girl in ancient style in my memory gradually became clearer, and I even smiled.

Snapped!

Mu Ming slapped himself, forcibly interrupting his thoughts.

The girl's face blurred.

"I can't think about her anymore."

Mu Ming circulated all his magic power, checking his body again and again, especially rinsing his head several times, but he couldn't find any problems.

I really want to erase that memory from last night.

After recovering, he stopped browsing posts about Midnight Legends and instead turned to the "Disaster Beasts" section.

As the greatest enemy of magical girls, there are many posts related to the Calamity Beast.

They might share their experiences of defeating monsters, summarize the weaknesses of various types of monsters, or even team up with others in the same city to defeat monsters.

[Recently, B-rank disaster beasts have been appearing frequently in Qishan City. The General Administration Bureau is now requesting support from fourth-rank or higher magical girls in nearby cities. Excellent benefits will be offered...]

The issuing authority is the Qishan City Bureau of Statistics.

Qishan City is a small city built against the mountain. It is not far from Changming City. There are no fifth-level guardians there, only two fourth-level guardians.

Generally, the smaller the city, the lower the probability of generating high-level disaster beasts. Even B-level disaster beasts are not common in Changming City, so why is Qishan City frequently attacked by B-level disaster beasts?

Mu Ming clicked in to check and found that the magical girls' responses were very lukewarm.

Keep it up!

Jiangdong is too far away; I'm currently in Jiangxi.

[Never heard of Qishan, it must be a small city, right? Could some bad guys be causing trouble?]

[The B-rank disaster beasts are too powerful; you can't fight them unless you're at least Tier 4. We should ask headquarters to allocate more personnel.]

Are there any who reached Tier 4 but weren't incorporated into the Bureau of Control?

Magical girls' strength is divided into six levels, but there is a "blooming period" between the third and fourth levels.

This is a period of accumulation, not only of power, but also a time when the magical girl's talent begins to sprout.

After the flowering period, the seed of the heart blossoms into the flower of the heart.

It was precisely from the flowering period that the number of people in each tier began to decrease sharply. Consequently, the gap in strength also widened.

Most amateur magical girl clubs are small-scale operations with relatively weak capabilities, and they are the ones who mainly post on forums.

There might be some powerful figures, but they are definitely few and far between. Changming City is so big, apart from the fifth-tier Jin Yu, there seem to be only five or six fourth-tier figures.

Hoping to summon a Tier 4 being by posting a message is unlikely. But it also shows that they've truly run out of options.

If Mu Ming reaches the fourth rank and Qishan City is still plagued by calamity beasts, then he might go and take a look.

He exited the thread and continued scrolling down, and surprisingly saw another thread featuring a magical girl. The reason she was featured was that her battle with the monsters had caused too much damage to the city.

He clicked on it, and the first highly-rated reply was:

[Are you from the General Affairs Bureau?]

The poster initially tried to defend themselves, saying things like:

If a magical girl causes more destruction than a monstrous beast while protecting a city, it means she hasn't mastered her abilities.

However, after being insulted a couple of times, the poster, who seemed to be from the General Affairs Bureau, simply opened a map and ran away to all the folk magical girls.

After watching them hurl a few insults, Mu Ming got bored and left.

It seems that the relationship between the civilian and official magical girls is not very harmonious.

The usually kind and gentle magical girl's online aggression is not much different from that of an ordinary person.

He continued to search for experience in searching for calamity beasts, but he had hardly ever seen anyone actively searching for them. The few who did were simply battle maniacs who would just search haphazardly.

There are relatively few magical girl characters, so the number of posts was small, and we quickly scrolled to the end.

[There are folded posts under the search results. Do you want to view them?]

Without hesitation, Mu Ming clicked on it. It was a tutorial post teaching magical girls how to avoid disaster beasts.

He immediately understood why it was folded—it was politically incorrect.

Magical girls don't need deserters!

However, he still clicked on the post.

This post contains potentially inappropriate content; please view with caution.

[Watching Confirmed (Not Recommended)]

When Mu Ming visits inappropriate websites, he always clicks the "not recommended" option.

The poster claims to have discovered a way to observe the accumulation of evil thoughts. Calamity beasts are born from evil thoughts, and by knowing where the evil thoughts gather, one can naturally predict where the calamity beasts will appear.

The result of malice is the Heart of Calamity, the core of the Calamity Beast, which provides it with corrupting magical power.

By simply collecting some Hearts of Calamity and using their corrupted magic to enhance one's vision, one can more clearly observe the source of the corrupted magic.

[This will allow us to observe the locations where calamity beasts might be born.]

The method is very simple, and the poster explained it very clearly.

She was just criticized relentlessly.

Anyone would know that filthy magic should not be touched, and the Heart of Calamity should be destroyed immediately if not necessary.

Using filthy magic is not even considered evil; it is simply a path to death.

It can cause a very bad rejection reaction.

Ordinary people will mutate and die, magical girls have resistance, but they are not immune.

Not to mention covering the eyes with filthy magic, the most likely outcome would be blindness.

However... Mu Ming could give it a try.

When the Heart of Calamity is devoured by him, there will be a very obvious surge of frenzied emotions in his mind, but he will not have such troubles when digesting the filthy magic.

It's probably been filtered by the system; you can try using the filtered, unclean magic on yourself.

After checking the information, Mu Ming began his cultivation practice.

Because of the constant trial and error, the time spent practicing always passed quickly, and before I knew it, it was almost dusk.

Now, he can walk on small steps when he is cultivating, so it won't be long before he can cultivate automatically.

Sorry, I'm practicing my moves today, so I won't be going out. I'll come to your house later to make it up to you.

【Then you should practice.】

Mu Ming is going about his business alone tonight. Li Huanhuan is probably just like him, engrossed in studying the magical girl skills of the Bureau of Control.

It's excellent that she has this ambition, after all, she's the only one who has established a "companionship" with Mu Ming right now.

Although she is not very loyal and always plots against my position, as long as I speed up my pace of becoming stronger and always stay ahead of her, there will be no problem.

Rather, it would be best if she could keep up. The higher the rank of her subordinate, the stronger the bonus she would provide to Mu Ming.

"Try to be back before 10 p.m. tonight."

The girl in ancient style last night left a deep impression on him.

It's unclear whether that thing is human or ghost, and we can't deal with it right now, so we'll just hide from it for now and wait for a chance to drag it out and beat it up.

It's true that she's a ghost and a monster, but she's a magical girl, and her trained fists are stronger than a consecrated machine gun.

As soon as Mu Ming stepped outside, he saw a magical girl flying in the sky.

The magical girl near his house has been very diligent lately, flying over there eighteen times an hour.

"She's really diligent. I need to work harder too," Mu Ming thought, watching the magical girl pouting and yawning.
