Starting with magical girls, I'll reign supreme for eternity.

Lu Ya slowed her movements a little while peeling the apple, but still said:

"No matter what, I'll always be with you. No matter what happens in the future, I'll always be with you, and we'll pursue our dreams together! This time, it's my turn to protect you..."

Just as she was choosing her words, she looked up and found that Jiang Si had already stood up.

Barefoot, he stepped onto the ground and tentatively stood up.

"You, you shouldn't move..."

Lu Ya hurriedly dropped the apple and frantically tried to help Jiang Si, who was trying to stand up, but was pushed away.

For a moment, the girl was at a loss.

"It's nothing, it's just a broken leg," Jiang Si said calmly. "I can walk."

As I walked towards the door, I stumbled.

When Lu Ya tried to help, she was pushed away again.

Jiang Si fell to the ground and gasped for breath for a while.

Fruit and props on the table fell to the ground, and he instinctively grabbed a pair of scissors.

"Jiang Si..."

Lu Ya stood there helplessly crying, about to call a nurse, when she heard Jiang Si say:

"I want to go out for a walk, but don't call anyone."

The girl, who was still crying, immediately held back her tears.

Jiang Si's tone left no room for argument. If she denied him, Lu Ya knew better than anyone that the two of them would probably lose even their friendship.

Although she was afraid something might happen, since Jiang Si had already said so, she could only nod, squat down, support him, and pull him up.

Sniffing, Lu Ya carefully glanced at the hospital corridor. After confirming that everything was alright, she helped Jiang Si walk out of the hospital through the main entrance.

Have my parents visited?

"Uncle, you've come once. Auntie has come many times; she's very worried about you..."

"Oh."

Jiang Si didn't have too many thoughts on it.

There were no mistakes in these details either.

My father and I followed different paths, and the struggle for the Great Way has always been fierce. Naturally, our relationship was strained because our philosophies differed.

Although his mother was extremely disappointed in him because she couldn't understand his insistence on pursuing Taoism, she wasn't truly indifferent to him.

It's a flawless illusion.

Is this the power of magical girls?

Even the scent of books emanating from Lu Ya and the smell of shampoo in her hair were almost flawless.

So terrifying.

As I walked out of the quiet hospital, a gentle breeze blew in, carrying the aroma of noodles from a nearby restaurant.

On the familiar road, vehicles shuttle back and forth, honking their horns, emitting exhaust fumes, and roaring engines—all the sounds are present.

"Are you hungry? Shall I take you to eat? There's a noodle shop nearby that has your favorite oil-splashed noodles..." Lu Ya, supporting him, kept trying to strike up a conversation.

"I'm not hungry."

"Oh……"

"I want to go to the place where the car accident happened."

Lu Ya was taken aback. "Go, what are you going over there for?"

"Let's check the results."

"what?"

"I just wanted to see what traces were left behind." Jiang Si tried to push Lu Ya away and stood up on her own.

It's just a broken leg; he can overcome it with willpower.

However, this body is extremely weak.

He hadn't felt this weak in a long time.

Even though she was being pushed away repeatedly, Lu Ya still clung tightly to his arm, unwilling to let go. "I'll call you a car, don't wander off."

Looking back at Jiang Si every step of the way, Lu Ya flagged down a car on the roadside, then quickly ran back and helped Jiang Si into the car.

"Master, we need to go to Experimental High School No. 2..."

"Alright." The driver smiled and stepped on the gas. "Your boyfriend isn't fully recovered yet? Why did you bring him out like that? Is it alright?"

Lu Ya blushed, pursed her lips, but did not refute, "He wanted to, he wanted to come out for some fresh air."

"Indeed, staying in the hospital all the time is not good for your condition. When I was in a car accident before, I stayed in the hospital for more than two months and my leg was still not fully recovered. But after jumping around for a couple of days, hey, I was fine right away."

"That's because you've almost fully recovered after more than two months..."

"Haha, that's true."

"And driver, please watch your step carefully, lest there be another car accident..."

"Don't worry, don't worry, I'm much more afraid of dying than you are."

Lu Ya glanced back, while Jiang Si stared blankly out the window, saying nothing.

And so the car drove all the way to the vicinity of Experimental No. 2 Middle School, and even stopped in the alley they had walked through before.

After getting off the bus, Lu Ya had just paid the fare when she realized Jiang Si was gone, which startled her.

After searching, I found that the other person had already entered the alley, moving at an alarming speed.

He immediately chased after her, calling out, "Wait, Jiang Si, wait for me! Is your leg alright?"

Jiang Si leaned against the wall, looking at the mess and the unrepaired wall, and smiled instead.

Lu Ya was startled. "W-what happened?"

"It's nothing." Jiang Si found a rock to sit on. "Go buy some water."

"what?"

"I want to drink Pepsi, not Coca-Cola."

"Didn't you used to dislike drinking beverages?"

"I'd like to drink with you now, is that alright?"

Lu Ya smiled, looking somewhat charming and adorable, "Of course you can! Wait for me here! Be sure to wait for me and don't wander off!"

"Ah."

"I'll be right back!"

With that, she turned and skipped towards the store.

Jiang Si touched those marks.

The marks left on the wall after the truck crashed in were clearly visible.

There were even dried bloodstains, almost exactly the same as the memory.

That's where the problem lies.

How could it be exactly the same as I remember?

He walked further into the alley and even saw the wreckage of the truck's headlights.

I picked it up and looked at it; the texture was almost indistinguishable from the real thing.

He closed his eyes and listened quietly.

The rustling wind gradually turned into the sound of footsteps, and the roar of vehicles gradually merged with the low growls of the calamity beasts.

Am I trapped in an attack by monstrous beasts?

"Oh, isn't this our great online novel protagonist, Lord Jiang Si?"

A clear, mocking voice rang out.

It must have been a hallucination of some kind of monstrous howl. Then, Jiang Si, who was still sensing the outside world, was pushed and fell to the ground.

He opened his eyes and saw three thugs, all smoking and grinning at him.

"You beat us guys up back in the day, didn't you? Weren't you so arrogant? You had all that 'the strong get stronger' stuff, and 'insignificant ants aren't worthy of my full strength' talk, all that trash talk. Why are you lying on the ground like this now? Weren't you so cocky? Why aren't you so awesome anymore?"

Another thug said, "I heard he got hit by a car while trying to save that girl Lu Ya. Hehe, otherwise we really wouldn't have been able to get revenge."

"Oh, so you're playing the hero and saving the damsel in distress? You've been reading too many online novels, haha."

The three burst into laughter.

"Didn't you look down on us before? What about now? Jiang Si, who's the ant now, and who's the strong one?"

After kicking Jiang Si, the man in sunglasses took the cigarette butt out of his mouth and was about to press it against Jiang Si's face.

Suddenly, my wrist was grabbed and I was pulled hard!

The man in sunglasses, who was leading the group, swayed to the side. Before he could react, a pair of scissors was suddenly plunged into his neck and then pulled out.

The movements were lightning fast and clean.

The remaining two thugs didn't even see what happened before they saw the man in sunglasses clutching his neck, making a "hoarse" sound, as a large amount of blood quickly blocked his trachea, and reaching out to grab Jiang Si tightly.

With several rapid, consecutive thrusts, the bloodstains on the scissors became even thicker, and the man in sunglasses slumped softly to the ground.

"You son of a bitch!"

Before the young man with the scar on his face could react to what was happening, he roared and rushed forward, holding a steel pipe in his hand, and smashed it down on his head.

Jiang Si turned her head and reached out her left hand to grab it, but two of her fingers were smashed off. However, Jiang Si didn't even look at it and used her remaining fingers to grab the steel pipe, with the severed fingers dangling on it.

The scissors plunged into her wrist.

The young man cried out in pain and instinctively released the steel pipe.

But having fought before, he knew that being cowardly here would mean certain death. So, the young man gritted his teeth, pulled a small knife from his pocket, and stabbed it toward Jiang Si's face!
