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

The lingering scent of corrupting magic remained at the notch on his forehead.

As the captain of the magical girl combat team, Li Yi immediately realized that the opponent must have had a Grief Seed planted on their forehead...

The method of inserting seeds of lamentation into the human body to enhance power is a unique ability of the Witches' Guild.

Before she could think any further, the police arrived at the scene, and she naturally followed the police car to the police station.

My mind was a bit muddled the whole way.

Was it really Jiang Si who beat the cripple into that state?

She knew that Coco's brother was very powerful and had strong physical abilities, probably because he had broken through the limits of human strength after being influenced by magic.

But to be able to directly defeat humans who have used the Seed of Lamentation is too exaggerated, isn't it?

There were no other traces of magic at the scene, indicating that no magical girl or calamity beast was involved. Jiang Si herself did not possess any magic; she simply relied on her own flesh and blood to defeat the monster that had been enhanced by corrupted magic...

No, the real monster should be Jiang Si.

Once she arrived at the police station, she was taken to the reception room.

The reception room was clean, with only a table and two chairs. However, the window was open, so the police officers walking around outside could still be seen, but it wasn't too oppressive.

Not long after, a girl in a police uniform walked in from the station.

Wearing a police cap, she looked dashing and was only in her early twenties. She had a pretty face, and what was particularly striking about her was her pupils, which were a pale golden color.

Upon meeting, he immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, Captain."

Li Yi was also somewhat helpless, and waved her hand, "There's no need for formalities outside, Yueji."

In fact, she was much older than him. After graduating from university, Yueji was transferred to the Beihai Police Station by the Disaster Management Bureau. Now, she has climbed to the position of deputy director through her own efforts and with a little help from the Disaster Management Bureau.

After all, the Disaster Management Bureau has to deal with a large number of disaster beasts as well as illegal organizations like the Witch Society and the Qingyun Sect, so the police department's connections and resources are indispensable.

Although the Disaster Management Agency is an official organization, in reality, its funding and support from various departments are quite limited.

Many things still need to be handled by the Disaster Management Bureau itself.

The police are always slow to respond to monsters and illegal organizations, but putting roses in the pot makes things much easier.

Just like now, without roses, dealing with the police station, explaining that you are a member of the Disaster Management Bureau, and not revealing your magical girl identity would be incredibly troublesome.

With roses around, many things become simple; Li Yi only needs to deal with roses.

"In terms of seniority, I'm far inferior to you."

Hearing Li Yi's mutterings, Yueji smiled gently, took off her hat, and sat down opposite Li Yi. "Captain, don't underestimate yourself. Seniority is useless. What matters is ability and talent. You are Hyacinth's favorite magical girl. Sooner or later, you will be able to surpass her."

"Well, I hope so."

Thinking of the purple magical girl from before, Li Yi felt a little down, but she quickly cheered up and asked, "How is that cripple?"

"Both legs were broken, and the wound on his forehead was confirmed to be a trace of the Seed of Grief. The residual corrupted magic was extremely concentrated, and his face was basically permeated with magic. Forcibly pulling out the Seed of Grief actually stopped the magic from spreading further, which can be considered as saving his life for half a day. However, whether he can survive or not depends on whether he is tough enough."

Li Yi nodded, "Just as I thought, this is the kind of thing a witch would do."

"Yes, I wonder what the witch will do all of a sudden. After being silent for so long, is she finally going to make a move again?" Picking up the teapot on the table and pouring a cup of hot water for each of them, Yueji's pupils showed a hint of disgust. "I don't know what her purpose is this time. Fortunately, Captain, you discovered it early and prevented the danger from spreading further."

"No, I didn't solve it."

Li Yi hesitated for a moment, but still said frankly, "It was Coco's brother, Jiang Si, who did it. They had a conflict before, and the two of them arranged to fight. When I arrived, I saw him beaten into a cripple like this."

Rose was stunned for a moment, then immediately shook her head, "Impossible."

“There were no other traces of magic at the scene, and there were people watching over there at the time. There were only the two of them in the alley.”

She slammed her hand on the table, her face serious. "How is that possible, Captain? You should know how dangerous someone who has been corrupted by magic to this extent is. They're practically half a monster! Even a budding magical girl might struggle if she doesn't have experience."

“I know.” Li Yi also said with some helplessness, “Of course I know it’s a bit unbelievable, but Jiang Si’s physical abilities are far beyond those of ordinary people because he was influenced by his sister’s magic. Back then at the Disaster Management Bureau, he could jump six meters high… Perhaps he fought with all his might to defeat the cripple. Perhaps he was seriously injured. I have to go visit him later.”

"Coco's brother."

Rose quickly grasped the key point, "Coco is the new magical girl you found, Captain, right?"

"It was her. I took her to the Disaster Management Bureau to register."

"That's not surprising. Maybe Coco put some kind of magic on him."

Uh, that's unlikely, given their relationship.

Li Yi muttered to herself, while Yue Ji continued, "Speaking of which, she went to the Disaster Management Bureau to register and happened to witness the Miracle Seed being stolen. Then the Witch Society released the Disaster Beast that was hiding at the Disaster Management Bureau."

After taking a sip of water, Yueji's expression turned serious. "That's quite a coincidence."

"You mean Coco and the witch are having an affair? I was right there when she first transformed."

“That’s not what I meant.” The girl shook her head. “What I meant was that the Witch Society might have been targeting her, and coincidentally, they caused trouble when she went to the Disaster Management Bureau. And coincidentally, the people controlled by the Witch Society found her brother.”

Li Yi also realized, "They want to capture Coco?"

"As one of the few magical girls in BH City who wasn't taken away by the Qingyun Sect," Yueji said in a low voice. "The Witch Association might be even more anxious than we are, and they're probably determined to get Coco. Captain, you'd better be careful."

After a moment of silence, Li Yi took a deep breath.

Actually, she didn't dare to say it, but it seems that Coco also knows Ziyuan, the leader of the Qingyun Sect.

Coco was knocked unconscious after fighting with Shion that day. When she woke up, she confessed to Shion that it was Shion who taught her how to transform and use magic, so Coco regarded Shion as her teacher.

Coco joined the Disaster Management Bureau hoping to become stronger in the future, meet Shion again, and become friends with her.

While it might seem unconventional for a new magical girl to want to be friends with the leader of the rival organization of the Disaster Management Bureau, Li Yi doesn't think it's a bad thing.

If we could really establish a friendship, we might be able to dismantle the Qingyun Sect from within.

So she helped Coco keep this a secret, since as long as she kept an eye on Coco, there wouldn't be any danger.

Moreover, she always felt that since Shion was willing to help the new magical girl, perhaps she wasn't such a bad person after all.

Of course, this matter must never be told to Rose; if Rose knew, she would be very angry.

After all, Hyacinth, the former captain whom Rose respected the most, was practically forced into retirement by Violet...

Li Yi put down her water glass and said in a deep voice, "You must keep a close eye on the Witch Society's movements while you're at the police station. Report it immediately if you discover anything. We need to deal with them as soon as possible. After all, the Miracle Seed is still in their hands, and we must get it back."

Upon receiving Li Yi's order, Yue Ji immediately replied seriously, "Received."

"As for Coco and her brother's situation, I can handle it myself, so you don't need to worry about it."

After saying that, Li Yi stood up. "Help me handle the formalities. I'll go and inform Coco so she won't be caught off guard and suffer from the Witch Society. Phone call... never mind, I'll just go to her house and check on Jiang Si while I'm at it."

Chapter Twenty-Four: Trilateral Talks

In the dark, secret outpost of the Qingyun Sect.

There was no light, only the reflection in the mirror, where the tender green four-leaf clover stood out, constantly spinning in the mirror.

A melodious voice drifted over: "The aura of the Witch's Guild is still just as nauseating..."

On the other side, a childish and lively voice came, "Sister Clover, we've spotted the Disaster Management Bureau."

"Activate the Illusionary Moon Array to interfere with their observations."

"Sister, which Illusionary Moon Formation is it?"

"Idiot, didn't the sect leader name the fifth of the barrier leaves the Illusionary Moon Formation before?!"

"No, sister, the sect leader clearly said it was the Qiankun Bagua Illusion Moon Formation."

"Aren't they all the same?"

"The Sect Master said that the prefixes make a big difference; the Qiankun Bagua Illusion Moon Formation is..."

"Alright, alright, I understand, Liu Ye. Quickly activate the Qiankun Illusion Moon Formation."

"It's the Eight Trigrams of Qian and Kun..."

"Six Leaves!" The ethereal voice carried a hint of embarrassment and annoyance.

"It was clearly the Sect Master who said it..." The lively voice sounded somewhat aggrieved, and then countless leaf veins began to cover the mirror, obscuring the four-leaf clover. "Third, second, first, mediocre work, a mirage that blinds the eye with a leaf."

Fifthly, a masterpiece, a mirage.

"It's too slow to unfold it from the front every time..." The ethereal voice complained softly before immediately gathering the four-leaf clover in the mirror. "They're here. It's the Disaster Management Bureau."

Countless eyes opened from the mirror, and each pair of eyes was covered by a leaf as it opened.

As more and more eyes appeared, and leaves covered the mirror, the number of leaves on the mirror gradually decreased until the entire mirror was clean, revealing a tightly closed eye.

Then he suddenly opened his eyes! He wanted to take in everything here!

"As expected of the magic auntie from the Disaster Management Bureau, she's really amazing to have broken through to this level."

"Liuye, don't be so rude, you should call her Aunt Magic."

"Oh, Aunt Magic's eyes are really useful, but it's a pity that Six Leaves' Mirror Flower Water Moon is even more perfect."

Then, a leaf gently drifted down from the air and landed in the mirror of Tongkong Holdings. A ripple appeared in the pupil, like the surface of water, and the veins of the leaf appeared in concentric circles.

It was as if I had been hypnotized.

Then the wide-open eye slowly closed and disappeared completely from the mirror.

The four-leaf clover reappeared on the mirror. "Finally, I can investigate the Witch Society. They've been such a nuisance, the Disaster Management Bureau..."

"They'll only hold us back."

A faint, ethereal voice said, "Turn over the four-leaf clover's fate card."

The spinning four-leaf clover reflected in the mirror the lame man who had received the seed of lamentation. Even as the four-leaf clover spun counterclockwise, a woman dressed in a black robe, concealing her figure, appeared.

They caught the moment when the other party took out the Seed of Sorrow and handed it to the cripple.

"Divination, first hexagram, name."

The first leaf unfolds, revealing a cuckoo.

"Deduction, the second hexagram, identity."

The second leaf unfolds, "Magical Girl."

“Deduction, the third hexagram, position.”

The third leaf...

The moment it was opened, it suddenly burst into flames!
