Chapter 70: Sword Qi Stretches Across 30,000 Miles (6600-word long chapter)
"You have no idea what a huge celebration I threw for the Beihai Disaster Management Bureau! Guess who wasn't invited!"
"The North Sea is so exciting! Azure Phoenix!"
"I'm feeling a little unwell, Qingluan."
"Something seems off about Beihai."
"The fog is so thick, I can't transform anymore, help..."
Taking a deep breath, Qingluan glanced at the last message Iris sent on her phone, then at the North Sea shrouded in white mist.
In the afternoon, Iris sent a message and then could no longer be reached. She came to check the message immediately and found that the entire North Sea was shrouded in white fog.
Neither the headquarters nor the disaster control bureaus in the surrounding cities received any warning messages.
The situation in Beihai was immediately reported to the Jiangming City branch, but the Jiangming City branch currently has no personnel to send over.
She couldn't even stay here for long. The Witch Society's offensive in Jiangming City had become increasingly outrageous in recent years. As a Blooming Magical Girl of the same generation as Iris, she had come to Jiangming City to provide support about a year ago.
This still couldn't stop the Witch's Society's actions in Jiangming City, although she did manage to clear out a lot of the calamity beasts and stabilize Jiangming City.
However, the Disaster Management Bureau is finding it increasingly difficult to control Jiangming City. Even the mayor, in order to win votes, has begun to compromise with the Witch Association, demanding cooperation with the Witch Association to ensure the peaceful development of Jiangming City.
If it weren't for Iris's plea for help, Qingluan would never have wanted to leave Jiangming City.
Sending the message to the Disaster Management Bureau of Jiangming City only asked them to help contact the headquarters and send reinforcements.
However, who knows when the support from headquarters will arrive...
Looking at the mist that lingered around the North Sea, neither spreading nor disappearing, Qingluan gritted her teeth and tried to venture further in.
Although Iris always claims to be the strongest magical girl in the Disaster Management Bureau, in reality, there are several magical girls of her generation that she can't beat in actual combat.
However, magical girls who excel in actual combat don't have as good theoretical scores as her, while those with better theoretical scores are utterly defeated by her in actual combat.
Therefore, Iris is the strongest magical girl in the Disaster Management Bureau.
However, in the realm of mental imagery, Iris is indeed one of the most talented. Although Azure Phoenix has never lost to Iris, her exam scores are always a few points lower than Iris's. In addition, she failed to learn the realm of mental imagery later, and was completely regarded as a loser by Iris.
Although Iris later opened the Mindscape, she still couldn't beat her.
Therefore, Qingluan was still very worried that her friend might get into trouble due to carelessness.
Even though she is now a powerful magical girl who can suppress A-level disaster beasts in North China, Qingluan still thinks that Iris is just a silly girl with a big head.
I'm always worried that she'll suffer a loss or get into trouble.
Given the current situation in Beihai, it is absolutely impossible for her to quietly wait for support from the General Administration.
As she stepped into the cold white mist, she sensed a blockage in the flow of magic.
I was slightly surprised.
Even after transforming into a magical girl, she can still be affected.
No wonder Iris sent a message saying she can't transform anymore.
If I don't transform beforehand, this white mist will probably completely lock up my magic.
Moreover, visibility is extremely low; you can't see anything beyond about four or five meters.
The sun, which was originally hanging in the sky, could not let in any sunlight, and the sky was just a hazy mist.
"Be careful, Qingluan!"
Suddenly, a white flying kitten jumped out from her shoulder and sat on Qingluan's shoulder.
Most magical girls who reach the Bloom stage will part ways with their incubators, because Blooming magical girls do not need the help and guidance of incubators. These incubators will return to headquarters or enter seed slumber.
Of course, there are also a few who are unwilling, such as Qingluan, who has been living with her Xiaobai since she first transformed into a magical girl, and it has been almost several years now.
Qingluan couldn't bear to part with her incubator, so she always kept the incubator by her side.
Even if it wastes some magic, it doesn't matter; the bond with Xiaobai will give her more power.
"This white mist not only suppresses our magic, but we can also sense that the mist itself is dangerous, like unlit gunpowder."
Qingluan was startled. "Then the North Sea must be in danger, with white fog everywhere."
Little White flicked its tail. "Don't worry, it's not that easy to ignite this white mist. However, the person who spread it might have other ways to use it, so be careful. It's probably the witch's doing again. It's definitely not that simple!"
"Ah."
"Moreover, I can sense the aura of an A-level disaster beast in Beihai."
"I felt it too, but I don't know why the General Administration didn't notice it."
As she spoke, Qingluan took out her own magic wand.
Qingluan's magic wand is different from others. As a magical girl from South China, her way of using magic is also completely different from that of other magical girls in the region.
A card is pulled out of the card box, and an eyeball with wings appears on the card.
He casually inserted the card into the black box in the center of the magic wand, and then a crisp click sounded.
Then came the clear, melodious sound of stars.
"Star Pattern Descends: The Echo of Starlight".
The wand emitted a mechanical, female voice, chanting a spell.
At the tip of the wand, a magnificent teardrop-shaped crystal lit up, and three rings of light unfolded around the crystal, with wave after wave of light spreading outwards.
The surrounding images quickly came back to my mind.
I originally intended to go directly to the Disaster Management Bureau, but I scanned a somewhat familiar figure.
After a moment of hesitation, Qingluan followed the wand's guidance and walked all the way to the vicinity of the station.
From outside the station to near the waiting hall, the ground was littered with the corpses of monstrous beasts.
Seeing the still writhing vine-like monster, Qingluan sat on her magic wand and flew up.
Soon, amidst the white mist, they found the familiar-looking girl.
A frail girl dressed in white held a magic wand stained with blood.
The wand was blunted and sharpened at the front, like a sword. The girl coughed, looking unwell and probably sick, leaning against the glass wall with her wand by her side.
He even coughed up blood from the corner of his mouth.
Beneath their feet lay countless corpses of vine-borne monsters.
Behind the girl, in the waiting hall, were people who had fainted.
"Bai Mei?"
Somewhat surprised, he called out the other person's name.
In Jiangming City, besides the Disaster Management Bureau and the Witch Association, there is also a neutral and free magical girl organization that does not take sides: the Qingyun Sect.
Qingluan arrived in Jiangming City relatively late, and actually didn't know much about the Qingyun Sect.
All she knew was that the Witch Society had besieged the four magical girls of the Qingyun Sect, but in the end, the four magical girls managed to escape unscathed. At the time, she was worried that the Witch Society would cause trouble, so she went to provide support.
I had met Bai Mei once.
The leader of the Qingyun Sect in Jiangming City, the four magical girls respected and obeyed her greatly. Under her leadership, they broke through the Witch Association's encirclement and withdrew from Jiangming City. She never saw the magical girls of the Qingyun Sect again.
However, Bai Mei did not make a move at that time. Instead, the remaining four magical girls worked together to break through the encirclement.
So it wasn't until today, when they met, that Qingluan realized it.
The other party is just a magical girl in her nascent stage.
Two of the four magical girls from the Qingyun Sect in Jiangming City are new recruits.
The wand was simple, the magic attire was simple, and even the magic power was quite simple, neither more nor less, and had no special properties.
In every respect, she is a rather mediocre magical girl.
Bai Mei seemed somewhat surprised as well. She tilted her head, still with her eyes closed, but recognized her. "Magical Girl Qingluan? It's been a twelve-year since we last met, hasn't it? Why aren't you guarding Jiangming City? What are you doing here?"
One-twelfth of a year? That's just one month!
Qingluan felt that her way of speaking was strange, but she honestly replied, "Beihai has become like this, so I definitely have to come and help. Besides, my good friend Iris is also in Beihai."
Little White, hiding behind her, shouted, "Qingluan, be careful! She's not a normal magical girl. I can sense that she's using her incubators as batteries to drain their magic!"
This is also why the magical girls of the Disaster Management Bureau are not very accepting of the magical girls of the Qingyun Sect.
In contrast to the Disaster Management Bureau, which treats its incubators as friends, none of the magical girls in the Qingyun Sect form any bonds with their incubators.
All Qingyun Sect disciples would press the incubators into the seeds to prevent them from waking up and to deprive them of the magic power they generated.
It's absolutely outrageous to treat incubators as mere tools.
Initially feeling uneasy in the perilous white fog, I saw a familiar face and noticed that the person was guarding the station's waiting hall, which stirred a sense of warmth and goodwill, but this feeling was quickly suppressed.
After all, Qingluan really cannot accept that someone uses the incubator as a tool.
Even if you don't want it, you can just throw it to the Disaster Management Bureau. That's what Iris did, because she felt she was the strongest and most perfect magical girl and didn't need a flying kitten chirping in her ear...
However, she was no longer a young magical girl; she was already sixteen years old. Naturally, she knew that even if the other party used the incubator as a tool, they had still protected everyone in BH City.
Although she didn't want to get close, she still said politely, "No matter what, thank you for your efforts, Miss Bai Mei. Beihai is very dangerous right now, you should leave as soon as possible."
"leave?"
Bai Mei's weak body trembled from coughing, and then she wiped the bright red blood from the corner of her mouth. "You're wrong. Beihai is safe now. With my master here, there will be no danger."
Qingluan frowned as she looked at the weak girl who was still putting on a brave face: "There are A-level disaster beasts in Beihai now. It's not as simple as you think."
Bai Mei simply shook her head, straightened her body, and her sudden sharpness, like a sword drawn from its sheath, made Qingluan's heart tremble.
"You've underestimated my master, Miss Qingluan."
Just as Qingluan was about to retort, she saw Bai Mei point into the distance, her eyes still closed, yet she looked as if she had seen something.
"Look, my master is about to make his move."
"With such thick fog, how could we possibly see anything..."
Qingluan turned her head in disbelief, but the thick fog made it impossible to see anything. Just as she was about to deny it, the sky was suddenly bathed in a magnificent purple light!
