Magical girls also have intensity anxiety

Wu An responded to Zhu Huan's advice with a simple, "Understood."

She also decided that she would not consider encountering C-rank disaster beasts until her own [magic power] reached 500.

She looked at Zhu Huan, whose lips still bore traces of blood, and said earnestly:

"Thank you for earlier."

"Ah...uh...um, you're welcome, this is the right place."

Although Zhu Huan was pleased by this earnest thank you, she still felt embarrassed. She tried to regain her previous cool demeanor, but her face flushed red with embarrassment.

She could only move her body away little by little, pretending to be looking at the scenery, clearly forgetting that this underground plaza only contained wreckage and the corpses of monstrous beasts.

Unlike the embarrassed Zhu Huan, Wu An stood up from the spot, his dark magic lines forming a blade, which he swiftly swung towards the D-level disaster beast that was still unconscious.

As the black light flashed, several Hearts of Calamity were revealed, and threads climbed up and absorbed them.

Once you've done all that, you can leave the basement.

"How did you kill that calamity beast just now...?" Zhu Huan asked, pursing her lips. She originally wanted to control the giant wolf and run away with Wu An.

But then the giant wolf suddenly died.

"Its misfortune resides in its mouth."

"Is that so... But it's a C-rank disaster beast. It would take at least a third-tier magical girl's magic power to destroy its core."

"I don't know. At the time, I was focused on destroying the core, and then I actually destroyed it."

"That's true..." Zhu Huan nodded, after all, the power of magical girls was hard to explain.

She had also heard rumors that some magical girls awaken to the fourth rank immediately, with their Heart Seed skipping the flowering period and becoming Heart Flowers.

If one's belief is strong enough to reach its limit, it is not impossible to even destroy the core of a calamity beast that is beyond one's level.

However... Wu An's expression was as indifferent as water, making it hard to imagine that she had strong beliefs or was emotionally agitated.

"Let's go, there are still girls they've captured up there," Wu An said.

"Okay." Zhu Huan had wanted to leave this place for a long time. The pink aura was still lingering, making her feel uncomfortable. After the crisis passed, all she could think of was leaving as soon as possible.

Clang!

Suddenly, a loud noise caught their attention.

A piece of wall had peeled off near the exhaust fan.

The interior is quite rudimentary, consisting of only a small, separate compartment and a winding network of pipes.

The cubicle was filled with pink smoke, much thicker than the smoke that was spreading in the air.

Wu An was about to go over, but Zhu Huan grabbed her.

"Don't go... Just let the General Affairs Bureau handle it."

Zhu Huan was afraid that Wu An would overdo it again, like before, and do something as foolish as going head-to-head with a C-level disaster beast.

"I'll go take a look."

Wu An persevered, since the smoke had no effect on her.

"Then don't get too close."

"Um."

Click!

As soon as Wu An agreed, he smashed the glass with his fist.

"Ah..." Zhu Huan was stunned.

But it was soon discovered that Wu An's personality hadn't changed drastically. Could it be... that she had a way to avoid the impact?

Could this be her natural personality?

Zhu Huan touched his slapped face and looked at Wu An thoughtfully.

She used her magic to dispel the smoke, revealing a small round box that looked like an incense burner.

The small round box is very simple, with only a lid and a transparent box underneath, which contains no smoke.

With a twist of his hand, Wu An blocked the vent on the lid, and the pink smoke stopped escaping.

She then saw clearly what was in the box: a drop of clear liquid.

It contains filthy and magical power.

"Do you recognize this thing?"

Wu An raised the box halfway and asked Zhu Huan, who had retreated to the center.

"I don't recognize it. I advise you to throw that thing away too; it's definitely not good stuff."

"OK."

Wu An made a feinting motion amidst the pink smoke, simultaneously kicking away the stone beneath his feet.

This thing can weaken the Calamity Beast, it's a bit of a waste to just throw it away.

She hid the box and went out with Zhu Huan.

Back on the upper floor, the still-alive human trafficker had woken up, and Wu An went up and slapped him twice.

"Will you tell me or not!"

"What do you want to ask? I didn't say whether I would or wouldn't answer!"

Those who do such bad work cannot be expected to have the faith to withstand interrogation.

Therefore, slapping someone twice before asking a question is often more effective than asking a question first.

Wu An asked, "Where are the girls you captured kept?"

"It's right there..." The trafficker shifted his gaze with a strange expression. He suspected that the black-clad magical girl simply wanted to slap him and hadn't actually searched the underground hideout.

The monitoring room is located in the center and is connected to four doors: one leads to the underground, one leads to the dormitory, and the other, of course, leads to the room where the girls are kept.

The last one is the entrance/exit door.

Although the entire underground base is very large, 95% of it is the underground plaza.

Even a blind person could find the imprisoned girls.

Snapped!

"You're smart to know what's good for you."

I got slapped again.

"That person is..." Zhu Huan looked at the corpse on the ground, her face turning pale.

"I killed him."

"Why...?"

"I asked him how to operate the control panel, and then he became dishonest and plotted to harm me."

"..." Zhu Huan's face paled slightly. She took small steps closer and suddenly grabbed Wu An's hand.

What are you doing?

"It's nothing... Remember to wash your hands, even though they're not good people... they shouldn't have let you get your hands dirty." Zhu Huan said uncomfortably, her previous dissatisfaction with Wu An had completely vanished.

Although Wu An's shoe print was still on her nose, she no longer resented him when he came to save her.

Now that they know it was Wu An who released the smoke, and even killed someone to find her, their pity for her has become even stronger than before...

Such a person, yet he got his hands dirty... She felt she could no longer put on a cold face, and even couldn't help but shed tears.

Clang!

Wu An kicked open the iron door that was opening outwards, and a room shrouded in a dark blue light appeared before him.

Inside, there were many things that looked like sleeping pods. The walls were covered with purple symbols that resembled both butterflies and eyes, which made people feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

The glass shell of the sleep pod was covered with pores, each topped with a black flower made of filthy magic, suppressing the awakening of the girl's consciousness inside.

With a wave of his hand, Wu Anqian unleashed a surge of magic, causing the flowers to fall and turn to ash in mid-air.

She approached and pressed the button on the sleep pod. With a hissing sound, the glass pod opened, revealing the sleeping girl.

Wu An touched the girl's nose; she was breathing normally, but it would take her a while to wake up.

It's inconvenient to bring so many people along. Now that the threat has been eliminated, we can just wait for the people from the General Affairs Bureau to come and clean up the mess.

She opened the sleep pods one by one, stopping when she passed one of them.

The girl in the sleep pod had injuries on her face and a fresh wound bandaged on her forehead.

Wu An stared at the sleeping girl, feeling that her face looked familiar. He seemed to have seen her before, but he couldn't remember her name.

She took out her phone and asked Li Huanhuan:

What was the name of the girl we rescued the night before last?

[I think her name is Nan Shiyu, what's wrong?]

It's nothing, I think I saw him again.

You need to keep your distance from her, lest you impulsively reveal your identity.

I don't understand why Li Huanhuan would say that. Am I the kind of person who can't keep secrets?
