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

Susan helped pull her and Yinluo's bodies up.

Then, the disaster relief agency's aid finally arrived.

Such a commotion would not be tolerated for long, even by the usually slow-reacting Disaster Management Bureau, given how close this place is to the Bureau.

Helicopters, armored vehicles, and troops all approached.

Only at Susan's request did an ambulance arrive.

Actually, it's not really necessary.

Finally, she put Li Yi on the ambulance. At first, the paramedics wanted Li Yi and Yin Luo to ride in separate vehicles, but after Susan's repeated pleas, they finally let Li Yi ride in the ambulance that was transporting Yin Luo's body.

Susan didn't dare get in the car.

She squatted in the rain for a while longer, her mind filled with thoughts of Jiang Si and Zi Yuan. She hadn't even processed the shocking news when Yin Luo's fate dealt her another blow.

The medical staff gave him a simple bandage for his injuries. Although the police came over and questioned him about the condition of the venue, they didn't say much in the end.

She was the head of the security department of the Disaster Management Bureau, and ordinary police officers did not have the authority to arrest her.

Not to mention there are roses in the police station.

Squatting by the roadside, watching the passing vehicles and crowds, letting the rain soak her, no one paid her any attention. Susan had no mood to chat with anyone, she just quietly stared blankly in the rain.

Sorting through my somewhat chaotic thoughts, there were just too many things to do today...

An umbrella was placed over her head. Susan glanced to the side and saw Peony, who had a lollipop in her mouth, squatting down beside her, holding the umbrella, and then offering her a lollipop, "Want one?"

"Don't eat."

"According to movies and TV series, we should be smoking here, but we can't help it. We're magical girls, so we can only use candy instead of cigarettes."

Susan, who had been somewhat sullen, was amused by her friend's words and almost laughed, but in the end she sighed, "You still have the mind to joke around."

"Things have already come to this, so what can we do?"

Peony said helplessly, "The Disaster Management Bureau was just about to set up a special team to investigate Yinluo. Your intuition was right."

"Ah."

Susan wasn't surprised; Yinluo's actions this time were too blatant to hide.

Even if the Disaster Management Bureau is unwilling to investigate, she will expose the evidence she has collected.

“Li Yi, she…”

Peony looked distressed. "She's only in her first year of high school, and this has already happened to her."

"She's a first-year high school student, but also the captain of the Magical Girl Squad."

Susan finally accepted her friend's lollipop, saying, "Trust her."

"Yeah, today was really awful..."

She kept rambling on and on about the unexpected disaster that had befallen BH City that day. Susan just listened quietly, occasionally nodding to give her friend some feedback so that she would know she was listening.

……

The large number of calamity beasts in BH City had been dealt with by noon. Despite their large numbers, the Qingyun Sect had made preparations in advance and the beasts were cleared away quickly and in an orderly manner.

They only dispatched two inner disciples.

Although the Disaster Management Bureau was attacked by the Disaster Beast, the captain of the Magical Girl Squad returned in time and killed the Disaster Beast before the magic barrier was destroyed, so it did not actually cause any damage.

However, the Inspection Department was breached by unknown individuals, and four of its employees died tragically.

This caused quite a stir at the Disaster Management Bureau.

Around noon, the rain finally subsided a bit.

Coco didn't find out about Yiyi's accident until the afternoon.

Although I had called several times to ask Yiyi what was going on, I was unable to get through in the end.

She hadn't been able to get through to Yiyi since yesterday, so she wasn't surprised.

I received a message from the rose garden after school.

Yinluo has passed away...

Death always feels empty and absurd.

Just like back then, after her parents passed away, she could never understand why the living people who were laughing and playing with her the day before suddenly became inanimate objects.

They will never respond to me again, and soon I will be nowhere to be seen.

In fact, more than sadness and pain, there is despair and a sense of powerlessness.

The despair and helplessness of feeling that nothing can be done and nothing can be changed.

All I could do was cry and cry. I couldn't do anything else, and I didn't want to do anything else.

And that gentle older sister with glasses, so suddenly, became a dead person.

Coco was naturally incredulous until Rose explained the situation in detail, and only then did she slowly accept the fact.

She remembered that Yiyi had just taken her to the Disaster Management Bureau, where Yinlu helped clear Jiang Si's name.

She remembered that just yesterday, they went out together, and Yinluo treated her to cold drinks and desserts.

Her mature and gentle face, and her soft voice, still seem to echo in my ears, making it hard to believe that Yinluo has passed away.

More importantly, Yiyi...

Coco spent money to take a taxi and rushed to the hospital where Yiyi was.

When she arrived, Yiyi's older sister, Yinluo, had already been taken into the morgue.

I was unable to see that older sister one last time.

There are still quite a few people in the hospital morgue.

Because of the rampage caused by the calamity beasts today, even though the Disaster Management Bureau and Qingyun Sect responded promptly, they could not achieve 100% zero casualties.

There will always be some unlucky people who accidentally lose their lives during the attack of the monsters. Sometimes they are not killed directly by the monsters, but by the chaos caused by the monsters and other indirect factors.

But here, most of the venting has already been done; there are no loud cries, only some suppressed sobs.

Fortunately, the rain in Beihai has subsided. If it had been the heavy rain in the morning, the small sobbing would have been drowned out by the downpour.

Coco suddenly remembered the day her parents were buried; it was also raining.

At that time, she was the only one crying.

The adults were always busy discussing other important matters, while the guests chatted and laughed during the meal.

It was supposed to be a ceremony to commemorate the deceased, but apart from myself, it seemed like no one was really sad.

When her parents were buried and Jiang Si was gone, Coco felt a loneliness she had never experienced before, as if she had been abandoned by the whole world and felt out of place with everyone.

If a ceremony is just a ceremony, then what is the meaning of commemoration?

When she found Yiyi, Yiyi was standing quietly at the entrance of the morgue, her face blank and her eyes utterly empty.

In front of her was an older couple.

The man was wearing glasses, and the woman was wearing a hearing aid, so they probably had hearing problems. Their facial features resembled those of Yiyi and Yinluo.

At this moment, the two of them were yelling loudly at Yiyi.

"I knew we shouldn't have let her go to the Disaster Management Bureau!"

"And you even said you'd protect your sister!"

"From childhood to adulthood, when have you ever truly helped your sister? She's always the one cleaning up your messes..."

"Why didn't you die..."

The piercing sound came over, and even Coco felt suffocated and in pain.

However, Yiyi just stood there blankly, quietly hanging her head, silently enduring all the insults, and even when she was slapped, she did not react at all.

Coco originally wanted to wait until they finished talking, because after all, it was someone else's business, and it wasn't appropriate for her, as an outsider, to interfere.

But when she saw Yiyi get slapped, Coco finally couldn't hold back anymore. She ran over, stretched out her hands to block Yiyi, and glared angrily at the two fierce-looking adults.

"You guys, don't go too far! Yiyi is also very sad! Why do you have to bully her!"

"Yiyi is my daughter. I'm the one disciplining her. Who are you, a little brat, to interfere?" The middle-aged man's face turned fierce. "Get out!"

"She's still upset? She'd love for her sister to die! I told her the Disaster Management Bureau was dangerous, but she insisted on sending her sister there to keep her company!"

The two of them yelled at her together, and Coco naturally couldn't win the argument. She was even a little red-eyed from being scolded, but she still gritted her teeth and took out the Miracle Seed. "I'm a magical girl, a member of Captain Silver Lotus's team! If you dare to bully the captain again, I'll transform into a magical girl and beat you up!"

Although it may sound a bit naive, the miracle seed is undeniable.

Especially now that Coco looks so angry from being scolded, the couple knows that if they push her any further, she might actually get angry and hit them.

These kinds of students are the most prone to going crazy because they don't understand social rules very well, so when they get angry, they can easily lose their temper and act recklessly.

Especially since they also possessed the power of magical girls, the couple naturally knew what that power was and how terrifying it was.

He was so angry that his face turned red and his neck bulged, but he dared not say anything more.

Until Li Yi grabbed Coco's hand from behind and tugged at her, saying, "I'm fine, Coco, don't worry about me."

"Nothing's wrong!"

Coco grabbed Yiyi's hand in return. It was icy cold, even stinging Coco. "Yiyi is my friend. I would never abandon a friend!"

"These are the team members you've managed," the man sneered. "You're a really good captain, aren't you? You couldn't even protect my sister, and now your team members are all unruly. Is there any discipline left? The Disaster Management Bureau must be blind..."

Coco finally couldn't hold back anymore.

She imitated Jiang Si's expression—in her mind, when Jiang Si became ruthless, she was the most terrifying person in the world.

She imitated his expressions, mannerisms, and gestures habitually, and even his tone of voice was exactly the same.

"Are you forcing me to take action? Get out!"

Even those fierce words were copied from Jiang Si.

To ensure she looked imposing, she even transformed herself.

After all, no matter how much you imitate, it won't capture Jiang Si's essence. It's only after transforming and gaining the oppressive feeling of power that you get closer to the terrifying sensation Jiang Si conveyed.

As it turned out, her idea was correct.
