Magical girls also have intensity anxiety

Chapter 92 Before Departure

Wu An didn't dwell too much on Xiao Hei's slip of the tongue, but simply asked, "Does the number twelve have any special meaning?"

"For a witch to completely seize control of a city, she needs to perform such a ritual. The twelve beasts symbolize the members of the council, and each one is the highest-ranking calamity beast that the city can generate."

Oh no... They just said there were thirteen seats in parliament, and now there are only twelve.

Whether Xiao Hei was already out of his mind, or whether it was a small group within the council bullying the remaining one, Wu An couldn't figure it out.

She thought it would be better to ask Xiao Hei after he had rested for a while. In less than half an hour, Xiao Hei had already given her contradictory statements more than once.

I was originally going to ask her what to do about Lin Yuhuan's situation, but I'll wait and talk to her about it later.

Wu An opened the map of the little black-haired creature and began to deal with the disaster beasts in order.

The reactions of each Heart of Calamity surprised her greatly; she felt that in a direct confrontation, it might not be any easier than dealing with Qi Luo...

There are so many pitfalls in Qishan. I thought I had already fallen into them all, but then eleven more B-level disaster beasts suddenly appeared. Luckily, they are core beasts, otherwise, the moment they were born, Qishan and I would have been doomed.

Without exception, those cores were hidden underground, and concealed by [Lin Ye's] abilities.

Even if you know where it is, you can't be aware of it.

However, with Lin Ye's gaze in his possession, Wu An didn't have to exert much effort to deal with all the Heart of Calamity.

[Accumulated Corrupted Magic Power: 4125 points (Rank B Disaster Beast)]

After completely devouring the Heart of Calamity, a pop-up window appears:

[Code of Conduct - Doomsday Guardian: Qishan City, which was destined for destruction no matter what, was saved from extinction thanks to your tireless efforts. You are its well-deserved savior, even though the citizens do not yet know you.]

[Gain an efficiency bonus of 20%]

[Current efficiency bonus: 382%]

[Guardian - After Blooming: Accumulate 2000 points of B-rank Calamity Beast magic power (2000/2000)]

["Devour" rewards 15% more magic power]

[Currently, the total reward for "devouring" has increased by 25%]

"What a pleasant surprise," Wu An thought to himself, but his expression remained largely unchanged.

There are still two major issues that urgently need to be addressed: How should Lin Yuhuan be dealt with? And what should Changming City do?

The former is alright; Qishan City currently only has one B-level disaster beast hiding there, and there are no other threats.

Xiao Hei said she could take over the city again tomorrow night, and then everything would be fine.

Lin Yuhuan will not be affected by the Second Seat for the time being, but how the General Administration will deal with her is another matter.

"Is there still a way to get back to Changming City?" Wu'an asked.

She can now ride the high-speed rail without buying a ticket, thanks to Xiao Hei's support.

Even though Jin Yu is in Changming City, it's still better to tell her in advance so she can take precautions, knowing that danger might occur.

"We probably can't go back. Although we have the coordinates and the city location hasn't changed, we've lost contact with Changming City. We can't go back even by train."

No compensation means you're oversimplifying things.

"Unless..." Xiao Hei hesitated, not finishing his sentence.

"Unless what?" Wu An asked.

"Unless you fly back from the wild."

field...?

Does it refer to the kind of wilderness that you saw on your way here?

Wu An's initial excitement was dampened.

The distance is manageable if she flies back alone.

The problem is that the wilderness is full of high-level monsters, and there are even "world bosses" like Bai Leqi running around. It doesn't seem like a place that can be crossed.

What if you accidentally bump into a complete witch? Wouldn't that be the end of you?

"Xiao Hei... what's your attitude towards Changming City?" Wu An asked.

"this..."

Xiao Hei on the other end of the phone was stumped by the question.

In fact, both emotionally and rationally, she did not want to give up Changming City.

Not only is there Jin Yu, who is a seed that will bloom in full glory, but also because half of Jiangxi is about to fall. If something happens to Jiangdong at this time, the situation will become very ugly.

The losses are already significant.

But the question is... how do I do it?

She was unaware of the enemy's deployment in Changming City, and did not know how many people they had mobilized.

The troops at my disposal, if not exactly a remnant of a defeated army, were at least a weary force.

Furthermore, the great battle in Jiangxi is about to continue, and most of the fifth-tier troops in Jiangdong have already been transferred there. How can we provide support?

Or rather, if even a Golden Language character can't withstand the enemy's deployment, then switching to a fifth-tier character won't make a difference.

However, due to the rules, even those at the sixth rank who have reached full power cannot directly enter the cities of Jiangdong and Jiangxi.

It's not that we don't want to save them, or that we can't save them, but simply that we lack the ability to do so.

"It probably depends on... how well Xiao Jinyu performs," ​​she murmured to herself.

"Does that mean giving up?" Wu An's face darkened.

She didn't understand Xiao Hei's concerns and continued, "The Second Seat is planning to help Miss Jin Yu reach her full potential. If their plan succeeds, won't there be another Complete Witch?"

This shift in power means that it's not simply about gaining one more complete witch, but also about losing one of the fully-developed ones who originally belonged to this side.

"It should... be... that's it." Xiao Hei's voice trembled uncontrollably.

"You're not going to do anything about this?" Wu An asked.

"I'm sorry... I apologize, my abilities are limited..."

"???"

Shouldn't Xiao Hei be the leader or something? Why does she seem like she's about to surrender?

Wu An felt increasingly uneasy. Were they really planning to abandon Changming City?

According to the rules of Jin Yushuo, no second fifth-rank official can appear in cities in Jiangdong and Jiangxi.

Even if there are enemies targeting Jin Yu, they can only be at the fourth rank.

And the candidate has almost been decided—Qiluo's true identity.

Of course, there's a high probability that the shady character from the second seat will also be involved.

Although the blessing requested by the second seat was not given to Jin Yu, that was not something that was required to be given in the first place.

Therefore, Wu An has every reason to believe that even without the fifth rank, the second seat is confident of taking the Golden Word.

There must be something targeting Jin Yu.

However, as long as the enemy is not at level 5, there is still room for maneuver.

Although Changming City is not Wu An's territory, Li Huanhuan is still there.

Even out of consideration for the friendship we've built over time, it's unacceptable to just leave without giving any warnings.

Having someone you can rely on to reveal your true self is very important.

Moreover, without Li Huanhuan's abilities, Wu An wouldn't have been able to single-handedly eliminate all the city's monsters...

Whether out of moral obligation or self-interest, Wu Pei does not want to give up Changming City.

The General Administration has already set it up, but she doesn't want to...

The only problem was how to cross the wilderness. She couldn't do it alone, so she decided to see if she could get some support from Xiao Hei: "Xiao Hei, I want to go back to Changming City."

"?" Xiao Hei paused for a moment, then raised his voice, almost shouting, "Really?!"

Why does she sound so surprised?

Wu An felt he was just there to be a supporting character, and didn't understand why she was reacting so strongly.

"I think we should at least rush back. If the enemy hasn't made a move yet, we can remind M-Jin Yu. If they do make a move, we can at least help them out."

"But I can't cross the wilderness alone."

Wu An needs support from the General Administration, and the support needed is substantial.

If there is enough support, she will try to cross the wilderness.

If that's not enough, then there's really nothing we can do.

After all, she had witnessed the power of A-level disaster beasts; such creatures were not uncommon in the wilderness.

It's hard not to encounter such enemies on a journey that spans thousands of miles.

Moreover, you might encounter a fully awakened witch, and you absolutely cannot go into the wild without support that is comparable to a fully awakened one.

Although failing to help the person you should have protected may leave you feeling uneasy, it's still better than death.

"If there's no one else at headquarters who's suitable to go to Changming City, I think I can give it a try... but I'll need backup."

"Your Excellency..." came the sound of Xiao Hei sniffling from the phone.

Xiao Hei felt that he hadn't misjudged the person.

Hakimi the puppy is the most magical girl among magical girls.

They are capable of shouldering great responsibilities at critical moments and also maintain a passionate heart.

If there is anyone else who can shoulder this great responsibility, it is only you, sir!

If we're talking about magical girls, who has gone further on the path to Mankai than Kimi, the only one that comes to mind is the real-life "Hakimi the puppy".

On the road across the wilderness, there will inevitably be complete witches blocking the way. An ordinary fifth-tier witch, even with protection, would die if she ran into one. However... if it were her, perhaps it would be worth a try.

"We will do our best to provide you with assistance! With your full strength and our defensive protection, you will be able to break through even if you encounter a complete witch blocking your way," Xiao Hei replied, wiping the corner of his eye.

Wu An felt that Xiao Hei was overestimating himself. Winning the championship in a doubles boxing match with Taro by himself did not prove that he was a great fighter, but rather that he had a lot of connections.

However, with Xiao Hei's words, she could finally relax.

"Li Huanhuan, it's me, Wu An. Don't doubt that you're hallucinating."

"There is a magical girl named Qiluo in Qishan City. She has become a witch. Be sure to be wary of her and anyone who has come into contact with her. She is currently lurking in Changming City, which has been cut off from the outside world."

"Pass this information on to Jin Yu, telling her to be very careful, and that you yourself should also be careful."

bang-

Li Huanhuan, who was having lunch, dropped her spoon on the table. She patted her ears, wondering where the sound was coming from.

Not only is the word order and logic strange, but it's also inexplicable.

The speaker also claimed that there was no compensation.

How does it get into your own ears?

Go ask Mu Ming.

Li Huanhuan took out her phone and stared blankly at the lit screen until it went dark, revealing her bewildered expression: "What was I supposed to do again?"

Li Huanhuan remembered the voice from earlier, opened her phone again, and just as she clicked on "Xinda," she froze again.

What should I do?

The screen went out, and she turned her phone back on, falling into a daze once more.

"Should I eat...?"

"But what was that sound?"

She repeated this process of turning on the screen, then spacing out, then turning on the screen again, and then spacing out again.

"The message should have been sent out, right?" Wu An asked uncertainly, clutching a megaphone.

Changming City is now cut off. Although they can still contact each other online, Wu An sent several messages to Li Huanhuan, several messages to Jin Yu, and even sent a red envelope to the auntie who sells pancakes.

But without exception, there was no reply.

It seems like everyone has forgotten about the existence of cell phones.

"It was indeed sent out... How did you lock onto the target?" Xiao Hei asked curiously.

"A unique tip."

"I see. You have so many secrets."

Even if you explained the system to Xiao Hei, she probably wouldn't understand.

The decision to accept no compensation was actually made with a try-it-and-see attitude, after all, Li Huanhuan was a [Leader] and [Real Name Revealed].

The names of the people in Zhongdu are stored there.

Given their close relationship, there must be some kind of unspoken bond between them.

So I wanted to try to communicate with her.

The megaphone in Wu An's hand glowed, then turned into dust.

That was a one-time-use tool that Xiao Hei had prepared, capable of transmitting messages through the "connection" between the two.

However, "Lin Ye" was too well concealed in Changming City. Even though he had targeted Li Huanhuan, he still only sent out a very small number of messages.

However, everything that needed to be explained has been explained. There's no major problem.

Wu Bai glanced up at the countdown:

【03:51:27】

She now realized that the countdown wasn't actually accurate; it only gave the "witch" a rough idea of ​​when she would appear.

But one thing is certain: when this countdown ends, she will definitely encounter the witch.

According to Xiao Hei, the witch's strength starts at the fourth rank, and she has a strong recovery ability.

If that's all there is to it, then the witch is nothing more than a thinking monster.

The key point is that as long as a witch exists, it will activate the "witch factor" in magical girls, thereby causing magical girls to transform into witches.

Due to their poor compatibility, magical girls are inherently at a disadvantage when facing witches.

In a battle of equal magical power, magical girls generally have a very difficult time winning.

However, considering that Changming City has Jin Yu, as long as the situation isn't too bad, it shouldn't come to the point where I have to go myself.

"How much longer until we're ready?" Wu An asked.

About an hour.

Wu Pei glanced at the time; there were still fifteen minutes until 3 PM, the time he had previously agreed upon with Zhu Huan.

I'll take care of things over there and ask Zhu Huan to help me take over Qishan City.

"I have some things to take care of, I'll hang up now."

"?OK..."

Wu An put the phone into the Seed of the Heart, severing his connection with Xiao Hei.

Once everyone was around, he deactivated his transformation and headed towards West City Park.
