Poor magical girls, work for me!

The items are in that warehouse.

"Walk."

Ryosuke Miyagi unleashed his full power and continued forward.

Despite the overwhelming amount of information generated by extraordinary observation, we continue to move forward steadily.

The extraordinary observation ability, which originally required a cooldown, was given a massive boost after all the magical girls reached level four, so this ability can now be used continuously!

After several twists and turns, a huge iron gate appeared before us.

A metal plaque hung on the door; the lettering was blurred and illegible, but a few words could still be vaguely discerned:

[Discard Tool Storage Area]

destination!

Ryosuke Miyagi reached out and gently pushed the door open.

The iron gate creaked open slowly.

As the door opened, a huge warehouse came into view.

Moonlight streamed down from the small window high up, illuminating the mountain of clutter.

Rusty iron frames, rotting fishing nets, broken wooden crates, moldy ropes...

and also……

Those two things in the corner.

Even from more than ten meters away, even in dim light, Ryosuke Miyagi could recognize them at a glance.

A harpoon.

It was rusty, and the nozzle still had dark red stains.

An iron hook lay on the ground.

Equally rusted, the hook tip was slightly curved, with several faded strands of what looked like rope or something else wrapped around it.

Upon entering the warehouse, a pungent stench of blood and decay assaulted the senses. The smell was so unpleasant that everyone instinctively frowned and held their breath.

"It stinks..."

Hikawa couldn't help but speak softly.

"Bear with it, that thing is right here."

Ryosuke Miyagi took a step.

But after taking just one step, he suddenly stopped.

[Spiritual Vigilance] erupts with red light.

A red, alert glow began to appear in the scene before them.

Following the brightness of the red light, he suddenly turned around.

He turned around abruptly.

Something was moving in the shadow of that pile of clutter.

In the corner, under spiritual alert, a scorching red light emanated, signifying extreme danger.

brush!

With just a glance, his mouth opened, and his eyes suddenly snapped open, meeting Miyagi Ryosuke's gaze amidst the clutter.

Those were cloudy eyes, like those of a dead fish.

Ryosuke Miyagi's pupils suddenly contracted.

Immediately afterwards, a sudden pressure filled everyone's backs, making everyone's breathing rapid.

Under the red light of spiritual alertness, Ryosuke Miyagi saw clearly those eyes and the shadow behind him.

Like a dolphin.

A huge dolphin, skinned and covered in blood.

It huddled in the corner of the warehouse, staring at them with its dead fish eyes.

A skinless dolphin huddled in a corner?

still alive?

The red light of "Spiritual Vigilance" is almost overflowing!

Clearly, this dolphin is not alive, but a vengeful spirit.

[Luckily, a level 5 dolphin vengeful spirit that's been suppressed. If it weren't for something weighing it down, you would obviously die instantly. Your appearance has already fulfilled its hated target; it hates humans. And it also hates the humans who skinned it!]

[Pick up your weapon and give it a quick death! A level 5 vengeful spirit can rake in tons of gold... Wait... no! I need to check the cards!! Something's wrong!! There's more than one!]

"Boss..."

Hisakawa's voice came from behind, trembling.

"Did...did you see that?"

She saw it.

Everyone saw it.

Matsushima Yukio's face was deathly pale, and she gripped the ice crystal staff tightly in her hands.

Momose Sena's breathing became rapid, but she was too shocked to speak the next second.

That was a female dolphin.

A female dolphin that was skinned alive.

Several small, equally black baby whales were also lying on its body.

They are using their bodies to try to cover their mother's naked flesh and blood.

And behind them...

There's more.

Countless, densely packed, whale and dolphin spirits of all sizes filled the entire warehouse.

This dolphin isn't a vengeful spirit... it survived because of the vengeful spirit of the baby dolphin...

At that moment, hundreds of dolphins turned their eyes to the five of them.

Looking at these five intruders.

The vengeful spirit of a little dolphin...

No attack.

There was no hissing.

Just watching.

That kind of gaze is more suffocating than any attack.

Ryosuke Miyagi took a deep breath.

He slowly raised his right hand, signaling everyone to step back.

step.

Two steps.

Three steps.

The vengeful spirits did not move.

Just watching.

When he reached the doorway, Ryosuke Miyagi stopped.

He paused for a second.

Try speaking to those vengeful spirits.

"We're here to retrieve those two items."

His voice was soft, but it was exceptionally clear in the deathly silent warehouse.

"I'm not here to hurt you."

The mother dolphin's eyes twitched slightly.

It "looked" at the two things in the corner.

Then he "looked" back at Ryosuke Miyagi.

Something seemed to be changing in that gaze.

"There is a deity named Cangxi Shou who sent us to retrieve it."

Ryosuke Miyagi continued.

"It said that if it retrieved these two items, it would be freed."

Ryosuke Miyagi felt like he was going crazy; he was actually trying to communicate with vengeful spirits, and animal spirits at that.

Of course, these are not the most important things. The real issue is that the culprits behind the deaths of these dolphins are humans, and yet, as a human, he attempted to communicate with them.

But a response came the next second.

The mother dolphin's eyes lit up.

[As expected, female assassins are always a valuable asset, no matter where they are. Even a female dolphin sensed your kindness because of your words.]

The mother dolphin, its skin peeled off, slowly turned its head to look at the vengeful spirits of the baby dolphins behind it.

The vengeful spirits of those little dolphins were also watching it.

then.

It made a move.

It gently shook its head towards the corner of the wall, and with just this one movement, flesh and blood began to fall off the mother dolphin with a series of splattering sounds.

His meaning was clear: he wanted Ryosuke Miyagi to take that one thing with him.

Does this mean it's given us permission to retrieve the item?

Hisakawa looked at Miyagi Ryosuke with some disbelief. He could actually communicate with vengeful spirits!

"I'm going in, you wait for me here."

Ryosuke Miyagi slowly walked towards the corner of the wall.

This time, the red light of "Spiritual Vigilance" did not appear, which means that Spiritual Vigilance did not issue another warning, and the little dolphin spirits no longer harbored hostility towards him.

After walking to the corner, Ryosuke Miyagi squatted down and picked up the harpoon.

It feels icy cold to the touch, like holding a piece of ancient ice.

After wrapping the harpoon with strips of cloth, he slung it over his back. Ryosuke Miyagi crouched down and picked up the iron hook from the ground again. The hook felt just as cold and heavy in his hand.

I got them, two items.

Now, as long as these two items are taken away from Dolphin Bay, the agreement with the evil god Cangxi will be fulfilled.
