What kind of magic? This is called cultivating immortality!

The system froze for a moment, then quickly changed its tune after a two-second silence.

[Master! I was severely damaged in the previous battle, and my memories are disordered and damaged... I won't disturb your recovery; I'll immediately begin self-repair and adjustment!]

It really wasn't lying about this; in that battle, Zhong Hui's physical body shattered, and his consciousness fell into silence.

As the system that was bound to his life, it was naturally inevitably affected as well.

"This unreliable artifact spirit."

Zhong Hui shook his head helplessly, thinking to himself, "It seems that I will have to search all the heavens in the future to collect rare divine materials and re-refine the Myriad Things Mother Qi Cauldron to properly stabilize the origin of this artifact spirit."

He suppressed his distracting thoughts, looked around again, and murmured, "But where exactly is this place?"

"Squeak~"

The tightly closed wooden door to the ward was gently pushed open, and a petite and slender figure slowly walked in.

Twilight Moon?

Upon seeing who it was, a hint of surprise flashed in Zhong Hui's eyes.

"Oh, you're awake!"

Mu Yue's eyes lit up, and her clear voice gently rang out in the quiet ward.

Chapter 52 This time you can't escape.

With surprise in her eyes, Mu Yue quickly walked to the bedside, leaned down, and carefully examined Zhong Hui, who had just woken up.

Her skin is so white...

She wiped away non-existent drool from the corner of her mouth, and after confirming that Zhong Hui's injuries had healed and that his body was completely normal, she couldn't help but exclaim in amazement: "Your self-healing ability is too outrageous! I only rescued you about three hours ago, and not only have your injuries healed, but you've also woken up right away. I thought you would need to be unconscious for at least a day or two to recover."

Zhong Hui's head was still a little dizzy and throbbing, and he was completely dazed, unable to process what he was thinking.

The last image that lingered in his mind was of himself detonating the Buddha's Wrath Lotus and being completely engulfed by the scorching flames.

Shaking his heavy head, his chaotic thoughts finally cleared up a bit. He looked at Muyue, who was so close to him, and asked in a low voice, "What happened? Did you save me?"

"Otherwise, who else could it be?"

Mu Yue slightly raised her chin, looking arrogant and eager to take credit.

She sat down on the edge of the bed, gently poking Zhong Hui's fair and smooth skin with her fingertips. Her eyes darted around a few times, and then she suddenly began to gesture exaggeratedly with her hands, her tone full of hyperbole: "You really have no idea how dangerous it was! When I found you, your body was shattered like broken porcelain. If it weren't for a mysterious force that held your body tightly, keeping you on your last breath, you probably would have been dead by now!"

At this point, she changed the subject, a sly glint in her eyes: "However, saving your life, healing your serious injuries, and bringing you safely back to Fangyuan City are all my doing. So, you really owe me a huge favor, and you'll have to repay it many times over!"

"I am deeply grateful!"

Despite his weakened state, Zhong Hui solemnly clasped his hands in a fist salute: "From this day forward, from the heavens and myriad realms above to the netherworld below, as long as you ask, I will do my utmost to help you, and I will never break my promise!"

Mu Yue was overjoyed upon hearing this, unable to suppress her smile. Her bright eyes, like those of a wolf cub locking onto its prey, were filled with the secret delight of triumph.

Ever since their last meeting at the villa, she had remembered how Zhong Hui had transformed into a cold and aloof beauty, stunning everyone present. Today, she had finally seized the perfect opportunity to manipulate him.

On the other hand, Zhong Hui was completely unaware that he had fallen into Mu Yue's trap. He felt a chill run down his spine and a strong sense of foreboding rose in his heart. He subconsciously reached out and wrapped the blanket tightly around himself.

"Oh, right, I almost forgot about the important matter."

Mu Yue slapped her forehead, suppressing her inner thoughts, and looked at Zhong Hui, pressing him for answers: "What exactly happened in Tai'an County? Why did you fight with Cang Xing and Qian Jia?"

Upon hearing this, the gentleness in Zhong Hui's eyes vanished completely, replaced by a chilling killing intent. He spoke in a deep voice, "All the incidents in Tai'an County were a conspiracy orchestrated by Qiu Bi specifically against me."

"what?"

Mu Yue looked bewildered, not understanding the meaning behind those words.

"This is what happened..."

Zhong Hui recounted the whole story of the Tai'an County incident, Qiu Bi's insidious schemes, and all his own speculations in a clear and organized manner.

"Oh, I see!"

After hearing the complete story, Muyue suddenly understood.

She clapped her hands abruptly, stood up abruptly, and said indignantly, "Qiubi is too despicable! How could it do such a thing! Don't worry, I will definitely report this to headquarters and help you get justice!"

Most magical girls and Kyubey are actually just casual acquaintances.

Because whenever a new magical girl is born, she is quickly absorbed by the official organization, and Kyubey has no chance to develop a bond with them, so there is no deep affection between them.

The Kyubey of today is no longer the same as the one in the first contract era; his only remaining duty is to sign magical contracts with human girls.

Thank you.

After thanking him, Zhong Hui asked with some doubt, "By the way, how did you know that I fought with Cang Xing and the others?"

"It's a long story, but it goes like this..."

Muyue made no attempt to conceal anything and recounted the entire story in detail.

It turns out that a strange phenomenon occurred in the villa area of ​​Tai'an County. After all the residents were evacuated, they immediately called the police.

Upon hearing that a witch and a monstrous beast had appeared in the villa area, the police were terrified and immediately reported the matter to their superiors.

The message traveled rapidly and soon reached the headquarters of Destiny.

Headquarters already knew about the previous incident of the resurrection of the living dead in Tai'an County and mistakenly thought that the witch couldn't help but take action. They immediately instructed the communications officer to contact the magical girl stationed in the area and the two who were going to provide reinforcements, intending to arrange for them to go to the scene first to investigate and deal with the situation.

No matter how the headquarters tried to contact them, the three remained unreachable and received no response.

At that time, the strange situation in Tai'an County continued to deteriorate, and the situation became increasingly out of control.

Helpless, the headquarters could only urgently activate the Sky Eye system to retrieve footage, which happened to capture the scene of Zhong Hui, Cang Xing, and Qian Jia losing control and killing each other.

Headquarters immediately determined that the three were most likely being controlled by the enemy and had fallen into a state of being unable to distinguish friend from foe.

To prevent the situation from escalating and causing greater casualties, headquarters immediately issued a relief order to all neighboring cities, including Fangyuan City.

Upon receiving the message, Altai did not hesitate and immediately dispatched Fluorescent, who had just completed a mission, to provide support with Twilight, while he himself remained in Fangyuan City.

With the addition of fluorescence, the travel speed is naturally much faster.

With a single move, "Melting with the Light and Dust," their figures moved faster than a streak of light, and finally, just seconds after the fierce battle ended, the two successfully arrived at the battlefield.

Upon arrival, the two immediately launched an emergency search and rescue operation.

Sousei and Chika survived by sheer luck, but were severely injured and remained unconscious throughout.

Zhong Hui, on the other hand, was kept alive by the secret technique of the character "者".

After listening to Mu Yue's complete account, Zhong Hui keenly realized that a key figure was missing from the whole story, and immediately asked, "Where is that magical girl in the black dress?"

"I don't know." Mu Yue shook her head gently and said truthfully, "When we arrived at the scene, there were only you, Cang Xing, and Qian Jia there. There was no one else. Moreover, not long after headquarters locked onto your location, the magic at the scene went completely out of control and became chaotic. The Heavenly Eye system was directly interfered with and became ineffective, and it could not detect any images."

After a moment's thought, she casually guessed, "I think she's probably dead. According to what you said, her ability is manipulation, which seems strong, but it has a fatal flaw. Once she faces something beyond her control and has no other medium to manipulate, she's basically useless. I guess that person didn't have time to dodge and couldn't withstand the explosion, so she was probably blown to bits in the end."

"Is it that simple?"

Zhong Hui frowned slightly, a feeling creeping into his heart that things would not end so hastily.

"Don't worry," Mu Yue reassured her. "I will report this to headquarters. She has openly violated the alliance. Even if she survives by chance, there will be no place for her in the world."

"Squeak~"

Just as the two were talking, the wooden door to the ward was gently pushed open, and a slender figure walked in slowly. His gaze went straight to the two people on the bed, and he timidly said, "Cangxing... is awake."

"Okay, let's go together...wait, where is everyone?"

Mu Yue's eyes widened in disbelief. Zhong Hui, who had just been lying on the bed, had vanished into thin air.

Ward 316.

Sousei lay quietly on the hospital bed, while Chika remained unconscious in the next bed.

When Altai, who was in charge of taking care of the two, saw that Cangxing had woken up, he quickly poured a glass of warm water and handed it to her: "You're awake? Are you thirsty? Drink some hot water, it will help you recover faster."

"I'm injured like this, and you still want me to drink hot water? Do you really think hot water can cure all diseases?" Cangxing woke up and saw Altai and immediately started complaining, habitually retorting.

"Okay, take it if you don't want to drink it."

Altai showed no leniency and made a move to take back the water cup.

"Can't you be a little more considerate! I'm a seriously injured patient!"

"Okay, okay, I'm being considerate of you. Drink it quickly, it won't taste good if it gets cold."

Aren't both hot and cold water just plain boiled water? Cangxing suppressed the urge to complain.

She obediently took the water glass, took a small sip, and felt a bit more moisturized in her dry mouth. Putting down the half-empty glass, she couldn't help but sigh, "I never imagined a mission would be this dangerous. If Qianjia and I hadn't woken up at the last moment, we would have really died there without even realizing it."

"It's purely because you guys are weak." Altai was merciless, his words hitting the nail on the head. "One is a three-star and the other is a two-star. It's one thing to be manipulated, but when the two of you teamed up, you were almost killed by a newly promoted two-star. You're really useless."

"Hmph, I just don't like chatting with you."

Cang Xing awkwardly turned her head away, remained silent for a moment, but couldn't help turning back to ask, "How is Zhong Hui?"

Seeing her anxious and worried expression, Altai suddenly had a mischievous idea. He shook his head and deliberately lowered his voice, "He's not as lucky as you. In that explosion, his body was blown to pieces. Muyue tried her best to search and piece it back together, but she's still missing quite a few fragments. I'm afraid..."

She deliberately stopped mid-sentence.

Cangxing's heart clenched instantly, her face turned pale, and she hurriedly asked, "What are you afraid of? Tell me quickly!"

"Of course, I hope for peace and safety from now on."

Seeing the mocking smile on Altai's face, Cangxing's pale cheeks instantly flushed red, and she growled angrily, "Altai! You deliberately tricked me!"

"It seems you've recovered your energy and spirit quite well."

The tightly closed ward door was suddenly pushed open, and a clear voice rang out.

In the blink of an eye, a tall and straight figure appeared beside the hospital bed.

"Zhong Hui," Cang Xing called softly.

Looking at Cang Xing lying on the bed, injured and weak, Zhong Hui felt guilty and apologized in a low voice: "I'm sorry, I dragged you into this and even tried to kill you."

"Don't say that," Cangxing retorted seriously. "This isn't your fault, nor is it mine. We're both victims."

Zhong Hui remained silent.

He knew perfectly well that, regardless of the reason, it was a fact that he had used all his deadly moves when he attacked.

Even if he had already devised a solution to resurrect the two by reflecting upon the heavens, a mistake is a mistake, and there is no way to refute it.

"I really can't do anything with you." Cangxing sighed helplessly, trying to raise her hand, but failed. She said softly, "Could you come closer? I'm too weak to move right now."
