Revolution, Cyber ​​Magical Girl!

tick, tick...

Sweat dripped down the girl's cheeks and into the sea.

Do spiritual entities also sweat?

Metis didn't know; she couldn't tell whether what she was seeing was an illusion or reality.

But at this moment she was already kneeling on the ground, her head buried very low.

This space is a sea of ​​consciousness, as boundless as the ocean. But she did not sink to the bottom; instead, an invisible force allowed her to remain here.

She almost submerged her head in the water.

Because she didn't dare to look up.

The immense pressure came from all directions, almost suffocating her.

She then realized how ridiculous her previous thoughts had been.

She is a top-tier hacker and an extremely rare psychic magical girl.

She is destined to become the Queen of Magical Girls and create a brand new future.

But she discovered that her mental strength, which she was so proud of, was utterly insignificant in front of the other party.

That's what a true king is.

That should be the King of Magical Girls.

Metis kept his head down, glancing at the water's surface out of the corner of his eye.

There seems to be something floating there.

But when she saw those things clearly, her pupils suddenly contracted.

Those were the "corpses" of countless machines.

The massive steel mechs had decayed, the cybernetic psychopath, now dead and only mechanical remnants, still stared with his crimson prosthetic eye; the wreckage of the hovercar; countless mechanical constructs...

Go a little further away.

Using the reflection on the water's surface, she observed the 'sky,' but could only vaguely glimpse a corner of the area.

A dilapidated space carrier floats in the sky, along with massive communication satellites, a damaged space station, and space-based weapons broken in two...

Metis was speechless; her breath seemed to stop. All of this had shocked her too much.

I don't know how much time has passed.

A voice finally drifted from the throne made of steel wreckage once again.

"This is a one-time exception; there will be no next time."

……

Metis opened his eyes and found himself tightly bound and thrown into a corner of the room.

My brain-computer interface was also disconnected, the internet in the room was down, and there was a makeshift signal jammer next to me with a two-dimensional cat pattern engraved on it. I don't know where I bought it secondhand...

Metis didn't know how long he had been unconscious, but he figured it must have been quite a while.

Because she saw that Lu Chaoge had fallen asleep while leaning back on the sofa, and the mechanical monster was curled up beside him.

Upon seeing Lu Chaoge, Metis's eyes first flashed with anger, but it was quickly replaced by deep fear.

She wasn't stupid; everything she had just experienced was deeply etched in her mind.

She understood what that meant.

The other party is not someone I can afford to provoke.

Father...did Rod consider this when he handed himself over to the other party?

Metis didn't know, but she was so hungry.

It has been ten years since it last ate anything, and it has only survived on nutrient solutions. It has just exhausted a huge amount of mental energy.

He also got beaten up, and his face must look like a pig's head now.

So hungry, so hungry, I really want to eat something, I want to eat the finger-licking good octopus from Crazy Thursday...

An overwhelming hunger consumed her thoughts, consumed everything.

Every cell in his body was screaming with hunger. Metis felt that if someone could hand him a chicken nugget right now, he would do anything.

Um--

Metis sniffed; she seemed to smell something.

It was a taste I hadn't experienced in many years, but it was etched deep in my soul's memory.

Finger licking, octopus, chicken cutlet!

Following the smell, her gaze searched around and finally settled on the trash can at Lu Chaoge's feet.

She saw a corner of the packaging box, and that was exactly what she had been longing for.

The other person is a devil; he specifically bought this to tempt me!

And why did they deliberately throw it in the trash? Was it to humiliate themselves?

Damn it!

But Metis was so hungry that she had no choice but to stop thinking.

Her goal is no longer to become the King of Magical Girls, the King of Hackers, or even to turn Lu Chaoge into a meat pigeon.

She has only one goal right now.

garbage can.

Even though my body is bound by ropes and I can't untie them myself, it's okay!

She exerted all her strength, struggled forward, and then curled up close to the floor.

Metis continued to burrow and burrow on the ground like a maggot.

As long as I can get there!

Her eyes gazed affectionately at the dark trash can. Despite the darkness, in the dimly lit room, the trash can seemed like the only light in the darkness, illuminating her heart and whetting her appetite.

Wait for me, Mr. Trash Can!

I'll stake my dignity as a magical girl!

Metis continued to wander around, and soon he approached the trash can.

Finally, she arrived at the place she had been longing for and tried her best to pick out the packaging bag with her mouth.

Then she froze.

The trash can contained only some food scraps and bones.

Yes, I should have known...

The trash can was filled with nothing but trash.

That demon has already eaten the octopus...

Memetis's sadness lasted only a second before hunger overwhelmed her again. She bent down, her pink lips parting to lick the food scraps.

Then, there are chicken bones.

Boom, boom...

Chicken bones are so delicious!

For the poor in the underground city, chicken bones are considered a kind of high-end food, so naturally some people eat them.

But how come I never noticed it before?

By the way, he used to eat the chicken himself, and Rod would pick up the leftover chicken bones and eat them.

Thinking of this, Metis gritted his teeth, gnawed on a chicken bone, and tears welled up in his eyes.

"Luo De, Brother Ni, Father... Dad, I want to eat meat..."

The magical girl, whose mental age was not very old, finally couldn't hold back anymore and burst into tears.

Lu Chaoge, who had been pretending to be asleep for half a day, finally broke down and burst out laughing.

"Waaaaaahhhhhhh..."

"Hahahaha!!!"

The laughter and crying quickly stopped, and Lu Chaoge lowered his head and silently stared at the girl in the cocoon on the ground.

However, Lu Chaoge soon noticed that the other person avoided his gaze and even showed a hint of fear on their face.

Ok?

Lu Chaoge was somewhat puzzled. Based on the other party's previous performance, her will was frighteningly firm.

I thought it would take some more effort... Oh well.

Lu Chaoge understood the principle of "a big stick with a sweet date."

He reached behind the sofa, took out a brand new bag of Crazy Thursday Chicken McNuggets, and handed it to the girl.

Metis looked like he wanted to refuse, but his body language betrayed him by extending his hand.

But Lu Chaoge withdrew her hand.

"If you want to eat it, you can."

After a slight pause, Lu Chaoge narrowed her eyes and uttered cold words.

"Give me the flower of your heart!"

Snapped--

A black and white heart-shaped flower was thrown over, and Lu Chaoge held it in his hand, his expression somewhat hesitant.

The other party gave it to him so readily that he could hardly believe it.

Lu Chaoge wanted the other party to sign a contract.

She thought they would have a long talk, agree on various conditions, and she might even have to reveal her magical girl identity.

The other party just gave it to them directly.

This is something that symbolizes the life of a magical girl.

Metis didn't care about any of this. She only knew that if the other party really wanted her dead, then everything would have ended long ago.

All she wanted to do was show off the finger-licking octopus in front of her.

"The chicken is delicious," she thought to herself.

But this time, she didn't throw away the chicken bones that she used to refuse to eat.

She ate it all.
