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

The remaining problem is how to get the Miracle Seed back to the Qingyun Sect. Bing Tang said there would be someone to meet her, but she hasn't sensed anyone nearby yet...

"Back when you were still in the Magical Combat Team, I admired you a lot. As a magical girl, your fighting style was brutal and reckless, and you never backed down. It was as if you were afraid of nothing, and you firmly believed in your strength and the inevitable outcome. You were strong and brave."

"A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger."

He removed the magazine, took out a bullet, and silently borrowed some magic from the Seed of Miracles.

He subtly infused the bullet with magic, reloaded it into the magazine, and pushed the magazine into the gun until he heard the click of the magazine closing before continuing, "That wasn't because I was brave, but because I was ignorant."

"Don't underestimate yourself. Compared to hyacinths, peonies, and roses, you are the magical girl I admire most. I hope to become a magical girl like you, brave, confident, and strong."

"That would be an honor."

The venom spewed by the small monster corroded the wall, and Susan quickly rolled over to avoid the next spit of venom.

Get up immediately, load the gun, aim, and pull the trigger!

"boom!"

She chose a rather cunning firing line, aiming at both the head of the monster and the silver cloak.

The bullet, which accurately hit the calamity beast, finally blew open the rat-like beast's head with the help of magic. However, when it hit Yinluo, it was bounced away with a "snap".

It was as if there was some invisible wall of copper and iron around Yinluo.

"Speaking of which, you, who have lost your transformation ability, should be the one who understands me the most."

Ignoring Susan's attack, Yinluo took out a miracle seed from the box, held it up, and bathed in the sunlight with the seed.

The happiness and joy radiating from Yinluo's face even touched Susan, who disliked her.

"I wanted to become a magical girl, but I didn't even have the qualifications. My dream since I was a child was to become a magical girl. Although BH City blocked the news about magical girls at that time, and you couldn't even find relevant information on the Internet, I already firmly believed in the existence of magical girls and believed that I would definitely become a magical girl when I grew up."

The calamity beast on her shoulder melted away, sliding off her body like a puddle of mud. Yinluo's gaze was somewhat lost, as if she were thinking of a long, long time ago.

"Back then, when I said at school and at home that I wanted to become a magical girl, everyone laughed at me and thought I was dreaming. Even Ginren didn't believe it. She just comforted me and said she wanted to become a magical girl with me, but she didn't believe that magical girls existed at all."

"So do you know how excited and thrilled I was when the Disaster Beast appeared in BH City three years ago, and Senior Lark appeared in the sky?"

Yinluo gripped the seed tightly. "Even the most determined heart can be shaken by circumstances and doubts. I was almost ready to give up back then, but then magical girls really appeared, which made me stick to my dream. I searched everywhere for ways to become a magical girl and for ways to enter the Disaster Management Bureau. I gave everything I had for those two years."

"Exams, studying, interviews, exams, studying, interviews, constantly facing calamity beasts, seeking hope amidst despair—I did everything, everything! I did every possible way to become a magical girl!"

Yinluo became more and more agitated as she spoke, her face even turning somewhat ferocious. "But I was never chosen! I can't get the miracle seed, I can't become a magical girl. Even if I go through all sorts of hardships to join the Disaster Management Bureau and get close to you, I still, I still can't become a magical girl!"

"But Yinlian did it very easily."

Susan put the pistol away and sighed, her eyes filled with pity. "It's not too late, Yinluo. Turn back now."

However, Yinlu ignored what she said and continued, "She did nothing. When she was blocking news about magical girls in BH City, she never believed in their existence. Even after she learned of their existence, she never thought about trying to become one. Yinlian, she did nothing!"

Speaking slowly and deliberately, Yinluo stamped her foot heavily, "Just because she wanted to save me when I was facing the calamity beast, she obtained the Miracle Seed. Just because of that! I would rather she hadn't saved me!"

"Why!"

Yinluo took out the potion from her bosom, plunged it into her neck, and injected the entire potion into her body. "Why can you do it! Why is it that only you can do it! Why is it that no matter what I do, I can't do it!"

A large amount of magic began to seep out of her body. Yinluo held the Miracle Seed and, bit by bit, carved a bloody cross on her forehead to lock in the overflowing magic.

The pollution's magic awakened the miracle seed in her hand, and Yinluo's originally ferocious and distorted face gradually calmed down.

Then he smiled again, looking at the magical girl he had once admired.

"I wish to sleep forever in my dreams, but please grant me the sweetest poison."

Like a waterfall of polluting magic, it instantly poured from the top of Yinluo's head into her entire body!

"Transformation."

As the magic dissipated, the black magical girl—no, it should be called the black witch—sighed deeply, filled with endless satisfaction and emotion.

"The unbearable despair is finally over, Susan."

Yinluo extended her hand to Susan, "Come with me and become a magical girl."

Chapter 43: An Unforgivable Life (6000 words)

"You don't look like a magical girl at all right now!"

The magic flowed out roughly, and Yinluo, who had just learned to transform, naturally didn't have the finesse to control it. She just threw the magic around like pebbles.

Even so, it would be fatal enough for an ordinary person.

But Susan was trained after all, and even amidst the dense barrage of magic bombs, she was able to quickly find safe gaps to slip through, using the trees and walls along the way to barely buy herself some time.

I also tried shooting, but with the protection of the corrupted magic, the bullets couldn't even touch Silver.

She had two spares, but it seems unlikely she'll have a chance.

Fortunately, there are no residents around the disaster relief site; the surrounding area is all suburbs, with only one highway where vehicles occasionally pass by.

Because of the appearance of a calamity beast within the Disaster Management Bureau, a warning was recently broadcast, requiring unrelated personnel to evacuate immediately, so there is no need to worry about innocent people being affected.

Susan leaped again to avoid being caught by a magical tentacle, then flipped over and hid behind a piece of broken wall. The corrupted magic chased after her and slammed into the wall, but failed to destroy it.

Quickly draw your gun, reload, and chamber a round...

"Really? I feel like I've never been so close to a magical girl before." Yinlu tilted her head and suddenly waved her hand. "Is there something wrong with your understanding of magical girls, Susan?"

"boom!"

The dark magic instantly smashed the rubble that Susan had been using as cover into pieces. Susan was also thrown into the air, and her pistol was thrown away. Yinluo watched as Susan protected her head, and then sent out dozens of magical tentacles to attack Susan silently.

However, the magical tentacles melted and dripped to the ground as soon as they approached Susan.

Yinluo quickly noticed a spray bottle in Susan's hand, her face full of surprise:

"Using repellent spray against monsters? You actually carry something like that around with you?"

Susan, who had rolled on the ground, picked up the pistol and got up. "I've gotten used to it since I lost my ability to transform. After all, I can't keep causing trouble for others."

He threw away the spray, raised his gun, and aimed. "The spray works by deactivating the pollution magic to drive away the monsters, so it's very useful in situations like this. Have you learned something new, my worthless junior?"

Pull the trigger.

However, the pistol suddenly exploded!

She instinctively covered her face, and then the magic beneath her feet finally seized the opportunity, grabbing Susan's ankles and hoisting her up.

"Then let me teach you a little something, Susan. Sprays can't work on large amounts of pollution magic; they can only dispel small amounts."

Yinluo slowly walked to Susan's side, looking at her drooping face, "Moreover, bullets infused with pure magic will explode if they are blocked by contaminated magic and collide violently. Has Senior Susan learned this as well?"

"You're just as annoying as ever."

"You are the same."

But where did this pure magic come from? Did the peony specifically grant it to her?

Yinluo, who was constantly corrupting Susan with her polluting magic, planned to take her away alive.

After all, she was a former magical girl with potential, which makes her valuable to the Witch Association. If the captain can't bring back some spoils after using so many Lament Seeds, he might turn on her.

First, use the power of pollution to destroy it, then take it back as experimental material.

The magical girl I once admired was destroyed by my own hands, and I myself became a witch.

This somewhat lifted Yinluo's spirits.

This made Yinlu feel more inclined to confide in someone.

"Now you can understand me better, Susan. The pain of not being able to transform and not even being able to struggle when facing a powerful enemy, you must be able to empathize with me, right?"

Susan, struggling to resist the magic of pollution, watched Yinluo get closer and closer. "It's impossible for a person to truly empathize, Yinluo."

“That’s true.” Yinlu nodded. “After all, I also find it hard to understand what Susan felt when she lost her transformation power because of my little schemes. But I admire you, Susan. Even so, you were still able to stay in the Disaster Management Bureau. You truly deserve to be the magical girl I once admired. It’s hard for most people to do that.”

Susan's pupils dilated, and her voice was even a little hoarse, "You did this?"

"If you were a true magical girl, wouldn't you be able to overcome such a predicament? After all, you are a magical girl who holds miracles in your hands. Unfortunately, you were unable to meet my expectations until the very end."

In the space of the Disaster Management Bureau, the roars and tremors of the disaster beasts distorted the space, making the momentary peace here seem exceptionally unusual.

Silent, Susan took a deep breath and recalled everything she had experienced when she lost her ability to transform.

The torment and pain day and night, as well as the grievances and resentment.

It was such a long, long time.

Yinluo admired the changing expressions on the other person's face, feeling only pleasure and satisfaction.

However, the next second, she noticed that Susan was laughing.

Despite the crisis, having just learned that the murderer who had caused him so much suffering was right in front of him, he still managed a bright smile.

Such an infectious smile, it's like she's still a magical girl.

A smile I can never show.

So she reached out, wanting to tear that smile apart.

"You're right, I am the girl who holds miracles in her hands."

When a pendant fell from Susan's snow-white chest and touched Yinluo's palm, Yinluo's smile vanished instantly.

He abruptly withdrew his hand as if he had been burned.

The miracle seed on the pendant swayed gently on Susan's drooping cheek, radiating a soft yet brilliant light!

Now, in her transformed state, she, possessing corrupted magic, can naturally sense it.

The magic within is still active!

Susan's miracle seed is not already...

“I’ve come to meet your expectations, Yinluo.”

The Seed of Miracles touched her forehead, and fine blue threads, like water, spread out from the Seed of Miracles, centered on Susan, and spread out into a huge spider web in the grove.

The tentacles of filthy magic were cut, dispersed, and gradually weakened by the aquamarine threads.

"The tide."

The threads suddenly tightened and converged on Susan's body. "Roar!"

The moment the costume was put on, blue magic surged outwards like a waterfall, submerging all the corrupting magic, and Yinluo, who was standing nearby, was instantly blasted away!
