Magical girls also have intensity anxiety

Chapter 83 The Scene Was Unsightly

Zhu Huan looked at the glass, then stood up, her face contorted with a mixture of ferocity and panic. She took a few quick steps and ran towards the glass dome.

In the few steps she took, the cracks on her face seemed to lessen, and even her fingernails seemed to shrink a little.

If you want a concrete representation, it's probably on her face.

She stopped on the other side of the glass, staring intently at Wu Pei. She opened her mouth a few times, but couldn't say anything. Then, she covered her face in anguish and squatted down, sobbing.

Several more minutes passed before she finally managed to recover from her emotional state.

She stood up, rubbing her face which was already streaked with tears, and looked at the indifferent face across the glass with bitter eyes.

They just stared at each other without saying a word.

Wu An felt incredibly tense, as if he had encountered a tragic heroine in a melodramatic drama...

"How did you get arrested?" Wu An asked.

Although the glass dome blocks magic, you can still hear the sound at this close range. It's just that Zhu Huan covered her ears and wouldn't listen to anything.

"I...I wasn't captured, I found this place myself by following my memories..."

"memory?"

"Hmm..." She nodded, a hint of panic creeping into her eyes. "Actually, it's someone else's memory inside my head..."

Wu Pei immediately understood; in fact, he had already made a rough guess when he saw Lin Yuhuan's "diary".

It's unclear whether Zhu Huan has a second personality or is being controlled by some abnormal force.

In short, although they share the same body, Zhu Huan and the ancient-style girl she first met are not the same person.

Perhaps because she had been suppressing her feelings for too long, Wu Pei didn't ask any more questions, and Zhu Huan started rambling on about the person in her head.

The members of the Huanzi Society are all afraid of and in awe of another "Zhu Huan," as if she were their leader.

That "Zhu Huan" was respectfully referred to as "the Second Seat".

She is the founder of the Phantom Society.

But I don't know the specifics.

In short, she is a terrifying being. Whenever she casts her gaze upon Zhu Huan, her consciousness is suppressed to the bottom, unable to rise or resist.

Only after the other party left was Zhu Huan able to regain control of her body.

It's as if Zhu Huan is a puppet in the hands of the "Second Seat," only able to live freely when the other party's attention is not on her.

"You came here on your own, so why were you caught?"

"Actually, after I got here... I saw that butterfly-shaped sign and then I lost consciousness. When I woke up, I was already in this room, and then... an impulse kept lingering in my heart... and that's how it turned out."

Zhu Huan's words were vague, as if she were trying to cover something up.

"Killing intent?" Wu An directly pointed out the emotions she was hiding.

Zhu Huan's tearful gaze froze as she stared blankly at Wu Pei, finally turning her face away in embarrassment.

"You still haven't told me why you came here. Even if you remember it, it's obvious to anyone with a brain that this place is dangerous."

Normally, they wouldn't come over.

"I'm sorry... I can't say."

"Want to kill someone?" Wu Pei asked again.

Zhu Huan remained silent.

"Is it still possible to stop having those thoughts now?"

"It's...it's alright..."

Zhu Huan's eyelashes trembled, and her voice lacked confidence, indicating that she was not in a good state.

"If you can't stop it, remember to let me know."

Wu An said indifferently.

What do you want to do?

Before the otter's scream could fully escape, Wu Pei had already placed the glass dome on, and the magic instantly eroded the magic that formed the barrier on the outside.

Then, he punched the glass cover.

A loud cracking sound masked the gasp of surprise, revealing only the astonished breath of the person opposite.

Zhu Huan was also startled, and touched that the other party trusted her so much... even though it was only their second meeting.

She kept her head down, not daring to look at the figure shorter than her in front of her, and asked, as if trying to make conversation, "Aren't you from Changming City...why...why are you here?"

"This kind of thing is unimportant."

"Uh... um." Zhu Huan was slightly embarrassed.

"Is your undercover identity fake?" Wu Pei asked about their first meeting.

"Hmm...because my abilities and psychological suggestion are similar, if it's the 'Second Seat' technique, it wouldn't be difficult to temporarily fabricate some false memories..."

Wu An nodded, reaching out a hand. Zhu Huan instinctively closed her eyes. The black glove brushed aside her bangs and pressed against her forehead, while magic swept towards Zhu Huan's head.

She just curled up like that, not resisting, letting her head be stirred.

This was the first time Wu Pei had done something like this to a magical girl, but Zhu Huan's situation was quite obvious; several parts of her memory had been obscured.

She wanted to uncover those areas, but an awkward obstacle blocked her way.

Zhu Huan's rank is higher than mine... Wu Pei can't do that for now.

"Let's go."

Wu Pei uttered a sound, and black silk threads transformed into satin, covering Zhu Huan's face and obscuring her vision.

Why do this?

"Because there are some ugly things here."

Moreover, the exterior walls are covered with butterfly patterns that resemble eyes.

If Zhu Huan were to see this, it wouldn't be good if that person in the second seat were to descend upon us.

"Oh..." Zhu Huan didn't ask any more questions, and reached out to grasp Wu An's hand, preparing to let Wu An lead her in some way.

"Can't you walk by yourself?"

Zhu Huan was stunned for a moment... not understanding how she could hear such an insensitive question.

She explained, "My eyes are covered... and it's not very good to use magic perception here."

"Too."

The sounds of thuds and roars gradually filled my ears, as if I were walking among monsters that would devour anyone who dared to bite me.

Zhu Huan moved closer, and her fear was palpable.

"Why do you know my name?"

She wanted to say something to ease the tension.

"I have a friend named Mu Ming. He had arranged to meet you, but you stood him up for several days. So he asked me to investigate. As I investigated, I was able to match the person up."

"It's him..."

Wu Pei felt Zhu Huan tighten her grip on his hand.

"Does he care about others? How did he even manage to make a friend like you?"

Why not?

"No... Miss Wu'an, you may not have known him long enough and have been deceived by him."

Wu Pei remained silent, as it felt strange to be talked about to his face. However, Zhu Huan seemed to have opened a floodgate: "That person is extremely self-centered, not much better than a kid who thinks the world should revolve around him. How could he possibly care about others?"

"If he really cared about me, how could he just disappear without a word? Our relationship was so important, yet he abandoned me without the slightest hesitation..."

Zhu Huan lamented her fate, while Wu An listened but didn't understand, since she knew even less about this part of their time together.

"Anyway, he did mention you to me."

"Just a brief mention? Did you say anything else about me...?"

Zhu Huan's tone carried a faint hope; she wanted to hear either good or bad words.

What I fear most is silence.

"I forgot."

"Important people often have bad memories..."

Wu An's hand was gripped even tighter.

Before long, they passed through the experimental area and stopped in front of the alloy gate.

"Why did you stop?"

"You stay here and don't move. I'm going to take care of some things. Don't look around, and it's best to cover your ears too. Don't respond to anyone except when I call you, understand?"

"Oh..." She nodded slowly, letting the black magic cover her eyes and ears.

The walls outside the experimental area have changed; they are no longer smooth and clean, but are instead covered with purple butterfly pupils.

Wu Pei sealed the alloy gate and set up a barrier in front of Zhu Huan before heading towards the experimental area.

Bang!Bang!

The wreckage was still hitting the glass, with Wu Pei's hand pressed against it.

"Don't do something so stupid! You'll really kill everyone! Magical girls who come into direct contact with wreckage will also transform into witches!"

An anxious cry rang out from the otter.

Wu An ignored him. The glass, which had remained undamaged despite repeated impacts from the wreckage, began to crack as Wu An eroded away the barrier on it.

Click!

The glass shattered, and debris crawled out from below, raising its head and letting out a sharp shriek towards Wu An.

The black longsword severed its head, and the remains struggled to revive. The tainted seed of the heart trembled in its chest, and the witch's filthy magic surged forth.

[Devour]

The magic threads pierced the wreckage's chest, causing the newly grown neck to falter, its murky purple eyes filled with confusion.

It eventually withered away completely.

Although it "devoured" it, it did not accumulate any filthy magical power.

He simply regained the witch's magic.

The strength of the remains is roughly at the level of a C-rank disaster beast, with the stronger ones approaching the level of a B-rank disaster beast. However, they are in very poor condition, restricted, and their strength is only one-tenth of what it used to be.

According to the records in the Genko Society's laboratory manual, they can regain their strength by killing people.

But that opportunity is gone.

You are aware of the characteristics of the Remains, the Half-Witch, and some aspects of the Witch; you have killed the Remains.

[We can try to piece together the truth]

Wu An ignored the system pop-up and silently slaughtered all the remains in the experimental area. Dark purple blood and rolling, twisted heads piled up in the corridor.

The Huanzi Society executives, who were watching Wu An complete all this from behind the screen, were stunned halfway through. It wasn't until the other party's emotionless gaze glanced at the screen that a chilling fear rose in their hearts.

The person looking at them was neither a magical girl nor a pure beast; they simply disliked them.

The detached emotions even made it seem as if the other party had no interest in how to deal with them, yet Wu An's steps were still moving upwards.
