Just a magical girl who picks up trash

"Speaking!"

Sheng Yin was not angry at being interrupted, but responded politely. Xiao Ya did not hesitate to ask directly:

"From the tone you just spoke, it seems like you and Yuanyuan... know each other?"

"Well, we've known each other for a long time. About 143.98 million years ago..."

"Hour?"

"Light years!"

"...Do you dare to talk nonsense a little more? Okay, let me change the question!"

Xiao Ya glanced at the 'holy silver' in front of her with a clear attitude of disbelief and continued to ask:

'who is she?'

119. Needs punishment!

'who is she?'

Although she had confidence in Xiao Huan's abilities, the fundamental reason she was so anxious to find Xiao Huan was still the slight worry in her heart. However, listening to the tone of voice, it seemed that Xiao Huan was not in danger or trapped in the ruins. Instead, it seemed as if... well, although it was a bit inappropriate to say so, Xiao Ya felt that Xiao Huan's actions were just...

"Are you looking for a new harem?"

She spoke these blunt words with a confused expression, and her words seemed to make Sheng Yin silent for a long time before she replied:

"...While this possibility cannot be ruled out, the most important thing right now is still this world..."

"It doesn't matter what the world is like, but you just said something that absolutely cannot be ignored, right?"

The girl said, "What does the destruction of the world have to do with me? I only care about whether my Xiao Huan has brought back a harem from outside..." Xiao Ya's expression and tone clearly showed this, and Sheng Yin was silent for a long time. Just when Xiao Ya thought that she had been asked this question, Sheng Yin suddenly spoke again, and the tone of his speech suddenly changed:

"What does it matter? She's already got the 'System', 'Holy Silver', and even 'Silver (Shi Lei)', so adding a goddess would make it all perfect~~"

Although he spoke in such an open-minded manner, Xiao Ya could clearly hear... a strong hint of sourness in the other party's tone?

"...Really? So you're the same... Then we really do share the same suffering!"

As if she had suddenly discovered something, Xiao Ya sighed after a long time, and her tone was filled with a feeling of sympathy.

"It's all that playboy's fault!"

Sheng Yin's voice no longer had the calmness it had just had. Instead, it sounded like he was simmering with a strong hint of jealousy.

"I agree, so..."

"Needs punishment!"

"Great, looks like we're on the same page!"

……

"Eh~~ Why do I suddenly have such a bad feeling?"

Yu Huan, who was far away in the aurora desert, suddenly shuddered, but his eyes immediately turned to the ball of light in front of him. After saying this abruptly, he continued his topic:

"So, let's make a deal. You and I will sign a contract and become my 'power'. Together, we'll stop Shirogane's conspiracy and save the world. That's about right, right?"

This was the result reached between the Goddess and Yu Huan after a series of negotiations. Although strictly speaking, the Goddess's power was actually above Yuanyuan, who was a system, it was impossible for Yu Huan to use the system to sign a contract with the other party.

However, putting aside the fact that the goddess in front of Yu Huan has no power at all, just the fact that the other party is just a fragment of the soul obviously won't be a problem... If he can't deal with the entire god, a piece of soul is obviously not a big problem!

"If I can make up for this, I won't refuse..."

Originally, she just wanted to hand over this historical problem she left behind to her successor to solve, but obviously even she didn't expect that the other party would actually offer to give her power and let her deal with it... What's more important is that after Yu Huan's explanation, she was surprised to find that this method is still feasible?

If possible, the goddess fragment would of course like to deal with this problem personally. After all, this was the disaster she had planted herself, and this world was also the world she sacrificed herself to protect. It was impossible for her to allow Baiyin to act recklessly, both emotionally and logically. This was also the wish of the original body.

It's a pity that the cost of merging the worlds was too great. In addition, because the world itself was on the verge of collapse, her life also came to an end. Even though a piece of her soul remained now, it no longer had any power. Therefore, she could only place her hopes on the 'master' chosen by the system.

However, he did not expect that the other party's power was so magical. After combining with the system's capabilities, changes occurred that perhaps even the system could not have predicted, and it also gave him such an... opportunity!

Since it is an opportunity, then of course I have to seize it. Even if we don't talk about those great gods who saved the world, after all, she once merged many world-destroying things for survival. If possible, the goddess fragment will naturally inherit the original body's 'cowardice and fear of death' and want to continue living. Therefore, this contract... has nothing to do with fooling around, there is no reason for me to refuse it!

She definitely agreed to the contract, even if it meant being under Yu Huan's control. As a goddess, perhaps her true form might have felt like the divine authority was being challenged, but from her perspective, it wasn't a big deal. Besides... wasn't he adorable? Being the patron saint of such a cute little creature was definitely a lot better than guarding that cold, icy world, wasn't it?

So with this in mind, the goddess fragment finally agreed to Yu Huan's 'abduction', but before that...

"before that?"

Looking at the fragments of the goddess who had already agreed, Yu Huan, the goddess who had lived for so many years, naturally could not be naive enough to think that the other party would be fooled so easily. Even if she was confused at first, she would basically find the loopholes in her previous words after she woke up. But now that she has agreed, it is obvious that everything will be fine. However, the other party's next words made Yu Huan stunned again.

Is there anything else that hasn't been resolved?

"Well, before that...it's actually not a big deal. However, when the 'original body' created me, it also gave me a 'mission'. So, as much as I want to go with you, I can't do it until the mission is completed!"

The purpose of the original body creating her was to protect the resting place of the god and complete a certain "mission" by the way. Strictly speaking, this is the true meaning of her existence and the purpose of her creation. Now, even if she unilaterally agreed to Yu Huan's contract, she obviously still cannot leave here because her mission has not been completed. Therefore, if she wants to leave, it is unless... the mission is completed!

After completing the mission, she would be free. According to the original setting, she should have disappeared. However, now it is clear that the goddess fragment has a new choice, and this choice also made her make the current decision, which is:

"My future little master, it is up to you to complete this task!"

The goddess fragment said this, with a slightly calculating tone in her voice:

"In that case, let alone me (the fragment), even if it's me (the real body) who becomes your guardian angel, it wouldn't be impossible!"

As long as she... succeeds!

120. Trouble

"Are you...about to give up?"

There was still enough food and water, but even with careful planning, they wouldn't last much longer. Although the cold cave still had light thanks to Cai Xiaolin's light magic, the increasingly cold and oppressive atmosphere made everyone's expressions even more silent.

"Based on this situation, it will probably take... seven days at most!"

Ning Xiaomo's face obviously no longer had her usual smile. She sat casually on a stone and looked at the metal door in front of her. A hint of solemnity flashed in her eyes.

To be honest, with her strength, even if seven days passed, it is not certain that anything serious would happen. With her strength, food and other things can basically be blocked in some way. In addition, with her own shadow magic (superpower), it is actually not difficult for her to leave here.

However, it was very easy to leave by myself, but it was obviously a very troublesome thing to take Cai Xiaolin and so many people away.

Not to mention that in addition to Cai Xiaolin, Feng Qianxue and others, there are also those rescued scavengers... According to Ning Xiaomo's idea, the original plan was to abandon them and take Cai Xiaolin and others away directly. At most, with his own strength, he could only take Hong Gu and others with him.

However, her idea was obviously rejected by Cai Xiaolin and others.

It's not because Cai Xiaolin and Feng Qianxue are so saintly or something, but after all, the situation before had not reached the point of exhaustion. Moreover, in a sense, everyone is a scavenger and to some extent, they are members of the same camp. Therefore, giving up directly is obviously not something that the girls can allow.

"But it seems that's the end of it now..."

Ning Xiaomo's somewhat helpless words had just fallen, when Feng Qianxue suddenly came out from the darkness and said casually:

"It's our duty as a scavenger to help when we can, but when we're in trouble, taking care of ourselves is the most important thing!"

As they said this, which could be said to be the thought of stifling their own emotions, Ning Xiaomo and the others discovered that Feng Qianxue's eyes were inexplicably... cold?

"What happened?"

Facing Feng Qianxue who came out of the darkness with an obviously bad mood, Cai Xiaolin immediately asked. However, it would have been fine if she hadn't asked. When she asked, Feng Qianxue was not the one to hold back. She spoke directly with a disgusted tone:

"What else could it be? It's all caused by those 'comrades'!"

In a word, not only did the smile on Ning Xiaomo's face disappear, even Cai Xiaolin frowned slightly.

"Are they... complaining again?"

“Is that the complaining Chengdu?”

Facing Cai Xiaolin's words, Feng Qianxue immediately asked a question helplessly, leaving Cai Xiaolin speechless. Then she turned her head to look at Ning Xiaomo on the side and said:

"I think it's about time... It's time to make up our minds. After all, although we did save them out of kindness in the beginning, given the current situation, there's no need to continue 'cooperating', so..."

The implication was obvious. Those scavengers who had found new backers obviously no longer needed their protection. Not only that, but perhaps because they had been suppressed in this dark cave for too long, the scavengers, who had no discipline to begin with, were feeling... very agitated during this period!

It probably started a few days ago!

Because there is no light source in this dim cave, there is no correct concept of time. Therefore, Cai Xiaolin and others who rely on timers to determine the time are obviously unable to determine the current time.

Previously, because of exploring the ruins, a team consisting of Cai Xiaolin, Ning Xiaomo, Feng Qianxue and Xia Miao came here to look for the missing Hong Gu and others. It was not known whether they were lucky or unlucky, but they found their traces just outside the ruins. Unfortunately, they were attacked by something unknown, and Hong Gu and others fell into an inexplicable coma.

This rescue was planned in anticipation of this situation. Ning Xiaomo and the others brought a lot of medicines from Tianyu City. In addition, Cai Xiaolin was a light-based healing magician, so the situation for Honggu and the others was quickly stabilized.

Based on the kindness of all scavengers, they treated the other scavengers they rescued except Honggu, Cai Xiaoxiao and Cai Xiaohou. Just when they were about to return, the dark figure who attacked Honggu and others had already set his sights on the four women.

The attack came so suddenly that before anyone could react or notice anything, a black substance like long hair was already rushing towards the four people.

At the critical moment, the four of them transformed and fought back without thinking. Although they finally repelled the long-haired monster, they accidentally activated the ruins due to the aftermath of the battle.

Because they were already not far from the outskirts of the ruins, they were caught off guard by the earth-shaking atmosphere caused by the activation of the ruins and were sucked into the cracks in the ground, and then fell directly into it. Because the ground collapsed, the area above their heads was quickly blocked by huge rocks.

In other words, after that, all of them were trapped in this small cave and unable to get out.

And in the situation where they were blocked by countless thick stone walls on all sides, Ning Xiaomo and others, who were afraid of being buried alive by a major collapse, naturally did not dare to use any powerful magic directly. Therefore, they could only use the most troublesome method: opening the road ahead bit by bit and moving forward, hoping to open up a path through it.

However, the road was finally opened, but the end of the road was not the imagined exit, but a huge metal gate!

The gate from the ruins...or one of the entrances appeared in front of everyone. When facing this gate, Cai Xiaolin and others were immediately caught in a dilemma.

Entering the gate will lead to facing unknown dangers, but there is also a high possibility of escaping from here. On the contrary, waiting for rescue here is also an option. After all, with Zeya's ability, the news of his and others' disappearance should be able to be passed on quickly, and then support can be obtained... In addition to this, the third method is to turn around at this time and continue to open the road to escape.

Between the three methods, everyone fell into a brief contradiction and didn't know how to choose for a moment.

121. Instigation

If they chose to open a new road, not to mention the consumption of magic power and other issues, just the food and water sources... It was originally just for the case. Although the four girls also brought at least enough food calculated according to the year, there is no need to worry in itself.

However, because they were soft-hearted and saved those scavengers... In fact, although these people woke up one after another after that, they seemed a little weak for unknown reasons. In this situation, leaving them alone was actually no different from death. Therefore, with the attitude of saving them and the persuasion of Honggu who had woken up, everyone brought them in front of them.

Then, with this team of nearly 40 people, there was no doubt that there was no shortage of food and water, but there was obviously a tense situation.

In the original situation, even if this was the case, it was actually nothing. After all, there was still a lot of food and water, and they would not be exhausted for the time being. Moreover, although they were rescued people, there were some troublemakers among the scavengers, but some of the older generation of leaders were obviously very smart and understood their current situation, so they did not cause any trouble.

Due to the difficulty in making a choice, everyone decided to rest temporarily in this newly opened cave and decide what to do next.

Among them, Ning Xiaomo naturally agreed without a doubt to open the door and explore the ruins, but Feng Qianxue and Cai Xiaolin expressed their opposition... After all, even if we ignore the scavengers for now, you must know that Honggu, Cai Xiaoxiao and Cai Xiaohou are still in a weak state. There is no doubt that the ruins are dangerous. In this case, taking them in is obviously not something they want to do.

As for leaving the two here to be taken care of by those scavengers... To be honest, although they saved them, Cai Xiaolin and others are not really good people. They obviously cannot do such a stupid thing. It is possible that they will be stabbed in the back at any time.

So in this environment, everyone rested for a few days. After a few days, when the scavengers including Honggu and others had almost recovered their strength, the originally harmonious team undoubtedly began to gradually produce... some changes in the atmosphere!

Although being rescued makes the scavengers feel grateful, when the gratitude is too much, some people will take rescue for granted, especially when they see Cai Xiaolin and others and even the three people from Honggu being provided with delicious food and drinks every day, but they can only eat those simple foods, some people obviously begin to feel dissatisfied.

As the saying goes, a little kindness is repaid with a big grain of rice. Although there are not many people who have this kind of dissatisfaction, it will obviously gradually spread and ferment over time, so that as time goes by, some people begin to pay various attentions.

From the initial verbal tests to the subsequent small calculations, and so on, some people even tried to seduce Cai Xiaolin and others with the idea of ​​"beauty trap"... Of course, the result was that after the only time the girls got angry, they were "eaten" by Ning Xiaomo's shadow. After that, no one was stupid enough to have such an idea anymore.

It was also that time when the strength was displayed that made these scavengers realize the gap between themselves and the psychics. They all calmed down and no longer had any messy thoughts.

This kind of deterrent force was obviously enough, and everything calmed down. After hesitating again and again, the helpless crowd finally decided to explore the ruins... It's better than waiting to die here, right?

However, just when the plan for this step had just been formulated and had not yet been further developed, an accident suddenly broke this peace.

One day, a sudden teleportation light suddenly lit up in the temporary residence of the crowd without any warning. Then, as the light dissipated, several figures who were obviously not scavengers suddenly appeared among the crowd.

The sudden change obviously scared everyone. Fortunately, Ning Xiaomo recognized that those people were from Tianta City at the first time, which averted the conflict that was about to break out. After a period of discussion, he roughly understood the other party's situation.

While exploring a certain ruin, I encountered a monster that looked like white liquid. After escaping in all directions, a teleportation trap was triggered and I was teleported here...

silver!

This thought almost immediately appeared in the eye contact of the four girls who were rangers. Of course, since the other party was teleported, it obviously meant that Baiyin was not around, so there was no need to worry too much. Otherwise, if they were already in such a difficult situation and then encountered Baiyin... that would really make the situation worse!

But no matter what... the sudden appearance of this small team of about ten people from Tianta City, all of whom were A-level and above, undoubtedly gave everyone who was originally planning to break through the metal door a sense of confidence. With the help of A-level psychics from Tianta City and the captain being an SS-level psychic, the safety of the ruins would definitely be greatly increased...

This is what should have been happening, but the reality is obviously different from what everyone expected...

"These days, due to the aggressive and 'generous' actions of those psychics, quite a few of our 'comrades' have been turned against us and become their allies (subordinates). If this continues, we'll be isolated!"

Although she said such dangerous words, Ning Xiaomo's expression was actually very calm and she even said it nonchalantly. Her words undoubtedly made Feng Qianxue and Cai Xiaolin frown as well.

"Besides, the way those guys look at us lately... has become more and more 'enthusiastic'!"

It's more than just passion, it can be said to be overflowing with desire!

After all, unlike those scavengers who have long been accustomed to living in the ruins, those later psychics not only possess powerful strength and sufficient resources, so that they don’t need to worry about their own safety at all, but even after seeing the beauty of Cai Xiaolin and others, the emotions that have been suppressed for hundreds of years since they came to the ruins are about to fly out.

After all, with the four girls' looks and different personalities and temperaments, they are definitely first-class even in Tianta City. These beauties who would make people fall in love with them even if they saw them on ordinary days now appear in this small cave that seems to be isolated from the world. It is obviously impossible to say that they don't have any dirty thoughts.
