Starting with "The Demonic Cultivation," I had no choice but to pretend to be a magical gi

Although he had mentally raised his guard to the maximum and was prepared to run away at any moment, Gu Yun's hand was still very steady as he opened the door.

Standing at the door was the familiar pink-haired magical girl.

Magical girl Anna, holding a writing tablet and followed by two teammates, softened her serious expression slightly when she saw that the person who opened the door was a student.

"Hello, excuse me. We are members of the third patrol squad of the Flower City Magical Girl Association."

Although it wasn't really necessary, Anna still showed her identification, speaking in a very polite tone.

"The instruments just detected what appears to be traces of demonic activity in this area. For the safety of the residents, we need to conduct a routine check. Would it be convenient for you to go in and take a look now?"

Gu Yun's expression was just right.

First came surprise, then confusion, and finally, a sense of understanding.

"Oh... there's a demonic path..."

He stepped aside, clearing the doorway, his eyes filled with curiosity.

"Please come in, please come in. I was wondering why I kept hearing strange noises lately. It turns out that some demonic monsters have infiltrated our ranks."

"We'll handle it, don't worry."

Anna nodded and walked in with two teammates behind her.

He didn't rummage through anything; he just walked around with the equipment, scanning everywhere in the room.

Gu Yun stood to the side with his arms crossed, seemingly leaning casually against the wall, but his mind was already racing.

They came for me? Doesn't seem like it...

The nightingale immediately became like a coward, not daring to even breathe loudly, for fear that its presence would be detected by the creature.

"I knew magical girls have noses that are sharper than dogs."

Nightingale only dared to whisper after Anna and the others had moved to the other side.

"Gu Yun, your disguise isn't working well. Someone came knocking on your door so quickly."

"Shut up, I don't think this has anything to do with me, it's your colleagues who caused this."

Gu Yun believed his plan was flawless; even if it were to be exposed, it shouldn't have happened so quickly. This could only mean that other demonic cultivators were active nearby.

It's absolutely despicable.

If it weren't for these damned magical arts, how could magical girls possibly come to inspect, greatly increasing their risk of being exposed?

In short, it's all the fault of the demonic path!

As Anna passed the desk, the red light on the instrument in her hand flickered briefly.

The pink-haired magical girl's eyes sharpened instantly, and she strode over, only to pause slightly after seeing what it was.

On the shelf were several well-made magical girl figurines, a large number of limited edition posters were piled up haphazardly, and various other magical girl merchandise that looked quite rare.

This person is clearly a true fan and has spent a lot of money on it.

Next to the computer on the desk, there was an open magical girl chronicle.

"These are..."

Anna hesitated for a moment, then spoke.

After all, there are many things that even she, as a magical girl, has never seen before.

So where did this guy get it from?

"Ah, this is a fan-made concept art collection."

Gu Yun then revealed a slightly embarrassed expression.

"I've always admired magical girls and I love collecting these things. This area has the most complete collection of magical girls around here."

In a sense, that's not wrong; it's entirely true.

I can confidently say that no one understands magical girls better than me.

I see...

Anna nodded; it wasn't entirely incomprehensible.

The reaction just now was probably because the room was filled with too many peripheral products that emit a weak radiation. After all, some high-end limited edition official figurines are imbued with a certain amount of magic by the magical girl herself to enhance their quality.

How else could it be called a limited edition and command a high price?

"Sorry to bother you. Your room is safe; there are no signs of demonic invasion."

Anna breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Gu Yun.

"That's good."

Gu Yun also breathed a sigh of relief.

"If some demonic or monstrous talent really infiltrates, I'll really have trouble sleeping."

Anna signaled to the team to retreat.

Time is tight and the task is heavy. If I don't want to work overtime today, I still have to check each case one by one. I have to hurry up.

Just as they reached the door and were about to leave, Gu Yun seemed to suddenly remember something and took out a small notebook and a pen from her schoolbag.

"Um... if it's not too much trouble."

He handed over the notebook, his eyes looking exceptionally clear.

"Could you sign this for me? I really love the style of Magical Girl Anna, especially yesterday's audition battle. I studied it very carefully, it was just amazing."

Anna paused for a moment, then smiled helplessly.

This request isn't too much of an exaggeration; getting an autograph wouldn't take much time, especially for such a devoted magical girl fan.

A friendly and approachable persona can be very helpful in maintaining popularity.

Of course, Gu Yun's good looks also played a role.

He looks like the kind of sunny, cheerful, and clean-cut young man who could possibly have any bad intentions.

"No problem."

Anna quickly signed her name as a magical girl in the notebook, her handwriting both delicate and strong.

Please continue to support Anna in the future!

Gu Yun took the notebook and solemnly said thank you.

"Oh, right..."

Just as Anna had one foot out the door and was about to leave, Gu Yun asked casually.

"What exactly is this 'demonic path' you were talking about? Are there any survivors from yesterday's group?"

The question was asked in a very natural tone, as if it were just a casual inquiry.

Anna stopped and looked back at him.

Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask.

The pink-haired magical girl's tone became more serious, clearly afraid that Gu Yun might act rashly and decide to confront the demonic path head-on.

"It's a magical girl's duty. If you discover any suspicious people or things, just call the association immediately. Don't try to handle it yourself."

Ordinary people cannot possibly contend with the demonic path; doing so would only lead to their needless death.

Gu Yun could understand what she meant, so he nodded obediently to indicate that he understood.

Anna then left with peace of mind, taking the other two magical girls with her to find the next household.

Gu Yun stood at the doorway, watching their figures disappear around the corner of the stairs, before the expression on his face slowly faded.

Then he closed and locked the door, and sat back down at his desk with a blank expression.

"A fish that slipped through the net..."

He casually tossed the signed notebook onto the table, a cold, murderous glint flashing in his eyes.

Although I don't know who this so-called demonic cultivator is, these damned demonic scum have seriously threatened my safety. If I conduct routine checks every day, they will be exposed sooner or later.

How dare you bring trouble upon me? You're truly courting death!
