What kind of magic? This is called cultivating immortality!

Cangxing arrived safely in Tai'an County, which provided her with a solid support, so she no longer had to worry about being left to fend for herself.

Looking up at the empty and desolate cemetery, Qianjia let out a long breath, put away her phone, and devoted herself to the investigation. She carefully searched every corner of the cemetery to avoid any hidden dangers that she had not noticed.

By the time she had thoroughly searched the entire cemetery, it was already completely dark.

Night fell like a silken blanket across the sky, the bright moon hung high in the night sky, and scattered stars dotted the surroundings.

Apart from the fleeting, blurry yellow figure that had appeared earlier, there was no further unusual activity within the cemetery.

Qianjia truthfully reported the inspection results to the operator and specifically instructed the operator to contact the police to come to the scene for follow-up handling.

With everything settled, she didn't delay at all. Her figure transformed into a streak of crimson light, soaring through the air and flying straight towards Tai'an County.

Jinling Tianfu Villa District.

Zhong Hui and Cang Xing followed Qiu Bi to Qian Jia's house to stay temporarily.

This is an elegant three-story European-style duplex villa, with its carved solid wood door slowly pushed open.

The unique layout and exquisite decoration of the room came into view, causing Cangxing to pause slightly and feel a sense of disorientation.

Looking back, she once owned a mansion that was far more luxurious and grand than this one.

Unfortunately, the past is like smoke and clouds. Her once magnificent mansion has been reduced to ruins, and now she is so destitute that she can only rent a place to live.

Thinking of this, Cangxing felt a deep sense of unease.

Damn Muyue! Once this mission is completely over, I'm going to make you pay for this... Unpleasant memories were stirred up, and Cangxing sat sullenly in the corner of the sofa.

Zhong Hui strolled around the room casually, looked around, and then sat down on the sofa. He casually remarked, "This house is far inferior to your old one."

These words were like rubbing salt into a wound, making Cangxing's already low spirits even more dejected, and she couldn't muster any energy at all.

Zhong Hui, however, remained oblivious to the change in the emotions of the person beside him, continuing to reminisce about the past: "I remember that your former residence was several times more spacious than this place, with luxurious and exquisite interior decorations, and many elegant antique furniture pieces..."

"Stop talking!"

Cangxing interrupted him, her lips pursed and her voice trembling with tears.

Scenes from the villa flashed through her mind, each one like a fine needle piercing her heart.

That was a luxury mansion she had painstakingly built up over many years with hundreds of millions in savings, originally intended as a retirement fund. But a major war broke out, turning it into a pile of rubble and broken tiles.

Oh no, to be precise, there is actually a living room that is still intact, but it seems to be completely useless, since she can't live in the open air, can she?

Kyubey, who was standing nearby, was very perceptive and noticed that Sousei had been in a particularly low mood ever since she entered the house.

A thought struck it, and it realized that this was a perfect opportunity to sow discord between the two. It quickly flew to the refrigerator, picked out a bottle of green drink, and handed it to Cangxing: "Cangxing, I heard that when people are in a bad mood, eating some sweets can soothe their mood. Try this."

Cangxing did not refuse the kindness, took the drink, unscrewed the cap, and took a small sip.

The next second, her face contorted in pain, and she spat out the liquid in her mouth, spitting out saliva as she cried out in despair, "This is bitter melon juice! I hate bitter things the most!"

Cupid was immediately at a loss and stood there dumbfounded.

The refrigerator was filled with a dazzling array of colorful drinks, and it mistook the green bottle for freshly squeezed apple juice.

"Hmph, they're utterly useless, they can't even pick out a drink properly," Zhong Hui remarked sarcastically.

He got up and walked to the refrigerator. Looking at the full cabinet of various drinks, he finally picked out a pale yellow drink and handed it to Cangxing. "I don't know why you're so down. Try this. Maybe it will calm you down."

A warm feeling welled up in Cangxing's heart. She felt that Zhong Hui was the most considerate person. She took the drink and tilted her head back to drink a sip.

"How is it? It tastes good, right?" Zhong Hui asked casually.

Watching this, Cupid gritted his teeth inwardly, his heart filled with resentment.

It was clearly the best idea it came up with first, but this damned guy stole it.

Cangxing silently swallowed the liquid in her mouth, stared at the bottle that was still more than half full, and said with a helpless expression, almost laughing and crying at the same time, "This is lemon juice, it's so sour that my teeth are about to fall out!"

Seizing this hard-won opportunity to turn the tables, Kewpie rushed to the refrigerator, grabbed another bottle of red drink, and confidently handed it over: "You can drink mine, this time it won't go wrong, red drinks are sure to be sweet."

As soon as Cangxing unscrewed the bottle cap, a strong, pungent, spicy smell assaulted her nostrils. Her lips twitched repeatedly, and she helplessly raised her hand to her forehead, "This is pepper spray..."

At this moment, Zhong Hui and Qiu Bi reached a rare consensus, and the same thought popped into their minds: What kind of strange drinks are in Qian Jia's refrigerator?

Just then, with a soft creak, the door was slowly pushed open.

A young woman with short, neat hair, beautiful features, and a dashing demeanor strode in.

Her gaze swept over the two people in the living room, lingering briefly on Zhong Hui with a strange look in her eyes. Then she quickly walked up to Cang Xing, smiling and opening her arms wide: "Long time no see, Cang Xing."

Cangxing casually put down the pepper spray and raised her hand to hug him back: "Long time no see, Chika."

The two embraced intimately, clearly indicating a deep friendship.

After letting go of each other, they held hands and sat side by side on the sofa chatting like sisters.

The worries and anxieties that had been weighing on Sousei's heart vanished without a trace the moment Chika returned.

She gestured for Zhong Hui to sit next to her and introduced him warmly and generously: "Let me introduce you, this is Zhong Hui, he is..."

"Could this be your boyfriend?" Chika interrupted, scrutinizing the slender and delicate-looking boy, and nodded seriously. "He looks like a sickly boy from an anime, with a unique kind of beauty. No wonder he could change your sexual orientation."

Cang Xing quickly waved his hand to deny it: "No, no, don't think nonsense! His name is Zhong Hui, and he's a new member of our Floating Light Squad. I even sent you a message before to tell you that I wanted to introduce you to a new friend. How could you forget so quickly?"

"what?"

Qianjia looked incredulous and pointed at Zhong Hui, asking in surprise, "Is he the new member of the Floating Light Squad that you've been talking about?"

“Yes!” Cangxing nodded.

"Wait, let me confirm something first." Qianjia stared intently at Zhong Hui, cautiously asking, "You...you're a man, right?"

"Doesn't look like it?" Zhong Hui raised an eyebrow and asked in a calm tone.

I knew it was a guy, I could even see his Adam's apple... Chika thought to herself.

She had barely breathed a sigh of relief when she quickly realized something was wrong. The other person was a man, but the Floating Light Squad was a team of magical girls...

"Huh? Why can't I think of this?"

Seeing that Chika was having a mental breakdown, Cangxing quickly grabbed her hand and explained the general situation.

"I see……"

After listening to the explanation, Chika suddenly understood and readily accepted the idea that "boys can also be magical girls".

Since everyone is working to protect the world, gender doesn't matter at all.

Having figured this out, she looked at Zhong Hui with great interest: "Cang Xing said before that your transformed appearance is particularly beautiful, could you demonstrate it live?"

Zhong Hui cooperated fully and immediately activated his transformation.

A soft pink light enveloped his figure, and when he reappeared, only a girl with cool features and an exquisite figure, wearing a pink hair and blue dress, remained in the room.

Gazing at the flawless face before her, Qianjia's mind raced with countless flowery words, but in the end, all her thoughts boiled down to one exclamation: "Wow!"

"See? I told you he was good-looking, didn't I?" Cangxing said smugly.

"It's not just pretty, it's ridiculously beautiful," Chika replied instinctively.

Seeing that another magical girl was about to be seduced by Zhong Hui, Kyubey couldn't stand it any longer and quickly spoke up, forcibly bringing the topic back to the main point: "Let's talk about serious matters first. Chika, when you went to the cemetery to deal with the resurrection of the dead, did you find anything unusual?"

Chika put away her joking thoughts and became serious: "The number of the dead who came back to life this time is very large. I suspect that the witch hiding in the dark is about to make her move. Moreover, after I finished dealing with those dead people, I saw a blurry shadow. The shadow disappeared in less than a second. I don't know if the witch was spying in the dark or if I saw it wrong."

Chapter 41 Holmes. Blue Star

"Since you sensed that figure, didn't you also sense the witch's presence?" Cangxing asked, his face full of doubt.

The witch possesses a unique and distinctive aura that makes her highly recognizable. Any magical girl can easily sense her presence if they are close enough.

"No." Chika shook her head gently, her tone revealing a hint of helplessness and uncertainty. "That figure disappeared too quickly, so quickly that I couldn't even tell if I was imagining things, let alone sense the witch's aura."

She paused slightly, then added, "Afterwards, I thoroughly searched the cemetery again, and the blurry figure never appeared again. Only after confirming that there was nothing else unusual did I return."

"A Foundation Establishment cultivator can be mistaken for an illusion? Is that reasonable?" Zhong Hui suddenly questioned.

"Huh? Foundation Establishment? What's that?" Qianjia looked blank, completely unable to understand this unfamiliar term.

"Oh, let me explain. The so-called Foundation Establishment cultivator corresponds to a two-star magical girl," Cangxing quickly explained.

"What a strange title," Chika couldn't help but mutter under her breath.

Cang Xing, standing to the side, fell into deep thought. She pondered Zhong Hui's words carefully, and the more she thought about it, the more something seemed amiss, with countless doubts surging into her mind.

Magical girls are no longer ordinary people, strictly speaking. After transforming, their five senses are fully activated and their physical abilities increase dramatically. They can even clearly capture the faint light flowing in the air. How could they possibly make a basic mistake like mistaking a person for someone else?

Furthermore, since that witch dared to resurrect the dead on such a large scale and was lurking in the shadows, and even encountered Chika who was all alone, why didn't she take the opportunity to make a move?

If the garrison commander of Tai'an County were to die, it would be a huge boon to that witch's plan.

Cangxing clearly and logically explained all the doubts in his mind.

Chika was speechless. She looked Cangxing up and down, her eyes full of surprise, and exclaimed sincerely, "I never would have guessed, Cangxing! Your logical thinking is so amazing. Your brain is almost on par with Altai's, isn't it?"

The two had known each other for a long time and often kept in touch. Although they didn't know each other inside and out, they were quite familiar with each other.

In Chika's mind, ever since Sousei was cheated on, her biggest hobby has been staying at home watching melodramatic dramas.

She just lies around doing nothing when there are no tasks, a typical homebody who binge-watches dramas, and has absolutely nothing to do with the word "high intelligence".

"Don't underestimate me."

Cangxing slightly raised her chin, a hint of arrogance and pride in her eyes: "I upgraded my watchlist a long time ago. Recently, I've been binge-watching a whole bunch of detective melodramas. Now, detective reasoning is my forte! From now on, please call me Sherlock Holmes Cangxing!"

After all that, it's still a melodrama. By the way, is Sherlock Holmes a character who falls into the category of melodramas? Chika thought to herself.

Just as she was secretly grumbling to herself, Zhong Hui suggested, "Since we don't have any other clues right now, let's go to the cemetery again tomorrow."

Cangxing and Qianjia nodded in agreement, without any objection.

The cemetery is currently the only known location to have exhibited abnormalities. Returning to the site to review and investigate is far more reliable than aimlessly groping around.

The three chatted for another half hour, carefully sorting out the unusual situation in Tai'an County, and finalizing the various matters for tomorrow's investigation. Then they got up and went back to their rooms to rest.

As soon as she returned to her room, Cangxing threw herself onto the soft bed, her face beaming with the joy and excitement unique to young girls.

Being praised for having an IQ no less than Altai's... a faint blush rose on her fair cheeks. She shyly buried her face in the blankets, twisting and turning on the bed, feeling incredibly happy and sweet inside.

It took her a while to calm down. She pulled out her phone, her eyes sparkling, and silently cheered herself on: "It's still early, I'll keep watching my melodramatic detective series! Altai, you wait, the smartest person in the Floating Light Squad will definitely be me, Cangxing!"

On the other side, just as Chika returned to her room, Qiu Bi, who was following closely behind her, suddenly spoke up: "When we're going to explore the cemetery tomorrow, find an excuse not to let Zhong Hui participate."

"Row."
