The correct way to open the magical girl

"I haven't been to school for many days, so I don't know what kind of surname is strange - but Yao, your name is definitely strange." The black cat shook his head.

During the quarrel between the two lolis, Li Xuan was sure that they really didn't know who Shishiye Hongzhen was, and he also disagreed with Filia's point of view - after all, according to Li Sijie, Hongzhen was obviously from the church, but Liaoying was a magical girl who had been famous on the hunter side for a long time, so they couldn't be the same person no matter how they thought about it.

It was meaningless to continue thinking at this point, so Li Xuan decided to take action immediately.

"Filia, tell me their location and I will take action immediately - please tell the head maid that I don't need anyone's assistance for this matter, I can do it alone." Li Xuan said.

"But master, even considering the need for concealment, isn't it too risky for one person to face those two powerful S-class magical girls?" Filia said worriedly.

"Filia, have you forgotten? When you first came to Qinghe City, my evil energy level was only B, right? Was it because the gap in strength between you and me was so big, or was it because the gap is so big now?" Li Xuan smiled slightly. He had decided to win this battle by wits.

"I understand. No matter what, I believe in your choice." Hearing this, Filia had no choice but to nod and told Li Xuan the approximate location in the intelligence.

"There's no need to report the mess you've made to the head maid - I'm granting you permission to teleport to other countries once. The head maid's perfume business is also going well, and funding will increase in the future. You don't have to worry about it. Just continue playing music and dancing, and consider this a post-war reward. As for my affairs, don't worry. If there's a real need, I'll contact you." Li Xuan said, opening a portal that moved parallel to the vehicle.

"Great! This way I don't have to be scolded by Lilika's mother." The black cat raised his hands high in celebration.

"Great! I can continue playing the guitar." Yao also raised his hands high.

"Long live the Land of Platinum (France)!" Bingrui also followed suit and raised her hands, holding up her broken guitar like a surrendering soldier handing over his rifle.

Chapter 520 Snow Monster

With many mysteries in mind, Li Xuan came to the sparsely populated Yakutsk Oblast.

This is the Northeast of the Northeast, so naturally, it's winter within winter. When Li Xuan arrived, the temperature had already exceeded -50 degrees Celsius, and the moisture he exhaled instantly condensed in the air.

"In a place like this...are there really people here?" Li Xuan muttered to himself as he stepped onto the road covered with thick snow.

There were few pedestrians on the street, but there were some. Everyone was wearing thick coats, wrapping themselves up in three layers.

Looking at the thin clothes on his body, Li Xuan decisively used mental interference to hypnotize passers-by to avoid a commotion, and asked Lilika to exchange some local currency for him. Then he walked into a fur shop and bought a pair of reindeer leather boots, a thick fur coat, a dog fur hat, and a long scarf.

With these things, Li Xuan dressed himself up as a local. Although he was not afraid of the cold, wearing a single layer of clothing was too conspicuous and could easily attract unnecessary trouble.

Li Xuan didn't rush into a fight, instead finding an inn to stay in and patiently waited. He knew the Hunter's magical girl's presence must be due to the presence of powerful monsters nearby. While he could potentially release monsters himself to lure the magical girl in, if he were to reveal a flaw, his plan to provoke a war would be ruined.

Sure enough, at noon the next day, with a roar, the chandelier on the ceiling was shaken down.

Li Xuan hurried to the street and saw a white tiger bigger than a hippopotamus standing on the street and growling. Its fur was as pure white as ice and snow, with some blue stripes, and it looked as beautiful as a snow sculpture.

The white tiger emanated a powerful evil energy, undoubtedly a powerful demon. However, Li Xuan could clearly sense that the evil energy within it was not as aggressive as that of other demons. Instead, it felt softer and more agile. From its aura alone, it was practically a different form of energy.

The pedestrians on the road were frightened by the sudden appearance of the monster. Many of them ran away in fear, while some chose to take out their guns and shoot at the white tiger.

However, bullets are completely unable to harm powerful monsters, and the protection of fel energy alone is enough to make them immune to the threat of conventional weapons.

[Distance: 1000 meters]

[Detailed information can be displayed after visual lock]

The system prompt came soon, and Li Xuan knew that the magical girl had started to act, so he hid behind a building and waited for the opportunity to mark her.

Finding that bullets were completely useless, the citizens fled in all directions, and Baihu chose not to pursue them. Instead, he roared loudly into the air, as if challenging someone.

[Magical girl detected nearby]

[Distance: 45 meters]

[Detailed information can be displayed after visual lock]

When the system updated the data again, Li Xuan saw a green-haired girl standing in front of the monster.

She was very small, with her light green hair tied into a high ponytail hanging behind her head. The lower half of her face was covered with a mask with skull teeth, which, combined with the handsome and cold expression on the upper half of her face, gave people an invisible sense of oppression.

Her eyes were a light purple, and there was no emotion in her expression as she looked at the monster - Li Xuan's ability to read micro-expressions was already quite good, but whether it was her eyes or her expression, he could not see any emotional changes in her.

The excitement of facing a powerful enemy? The fear of facing a monster? The rage of seeking revenge against the monster?

These emotions were not reflected on her face at all. Compared with the mask, her face looked more like a living mask.

The girl's clothing was also quite distinctive—she wore a tight tank top and shorts that revealed her thighs. A small bag hung from her belt, bulging with something unknown. Over these clothes, she wore a one-piece mesh dress that reached all the way to her neck. However, due to the large gaps in the mesh, it completely concealed her fair skin, giving the impression of covering something while actually covering nothing.

Thinking of the fishnet stockings that Li Sijie had knitted on the spot that day, Li Xuan couldn't help but feel excited - isn't this equivalent to putting fishnet stockings on the whole body?

The girl was wearing open-toed strappy sandals, and you could see her fishnet stockings covering her feet. Her feet were delicate and small, and her delicate toes were painted with purple nail polish.

Li Xuan could tell from her clothes that she should be a combat-type magical girl. After all, only combat-type girls would wear such tight and cool clothes. If she was not a magical girl, she would have frozen to death in the cold wind with this outfit.

The system prompt quickly confirmed Li Xuan's guess:

[Magical girl locked]

[Name: Shishiya Liaoying]

[Magic Level: S]

[Type: Combat System]

【Height: 154cm】

[CUP level: C]

"Shishiye Ryoying, is this the third person in the legendary Hunter Organization? I didn't expect her to be so small. And her cup size is C? You really can't tell from the outside... The chest-binding function of this dress is quite good." Li Xuan thought with some surprise.

At this moment, the white tiger roared again at the green-haired little loli in front of him: this time the roar was even louder, and even the surrounding ground was shaking because of the roar - but for some reason, Li Xuan heard a sense of guilt in this roar.

Judging from the evil energy emanating from this white tiger, it should be at the upper limit of A-level, very close to S-level, not much weaker than S-level. Furthermore, given the monster's arrogant personality, how could it show its weakness to a little girl?

However, the next second, Li Xuan knew the reason for Baihu's fear. While Li Xuan was watching intently, Shishiye Liaoying's figure disappeared for a moment. When she returned to her original position, Baihu had already collapsed to the ground, whimpering, with only one breath left.

Although he couldn't see her movements clearly, Li Xuan was very sure that she didn't use any space magic - he himself was a master at manipulating space and was naturally very sensitive to spatial fluctuations.

In other words, Shishiye Liaoying's speed has exceeded his imagination.

But if she was so strong, why didn't she kill the enemy with one blow? Was she unable to do so, or was she deliberately leaving him with a breath?

Shishiye Liaoying had no intention of finishing off the enemy. She bent down and reached her hand into the white tiger's body, as if looking for something inside.

At that moment, Li Xuan felt a spatial fluctuation. He looked up and saw a girl in a purple dress holding a cute umbrella appear on a building. Although still some distance away, just from her chuunibyou stance and eye mask, Li Xuan recognized her as the magical girl Nanamiya Maya, who had once given him a hard time.

"Stop it! Hunter's magical girl! If you continue to collect those crystals, you will suffer the consequences one day!" Nanamiya Maya pointed at Ryoying with the tip of her umbrella.

"The annoying guy is here again..." Liaoying ignored her arrival and fumbled around on her own.

Suddenly, her eyes moved slightly, and when she pulled her arm out, a small ice crystal appeared on her hand.

Chapter 521 Do you remember how many slices of bread you have eaten?

This ice crystal seemed to have magical powers. It automatically floated in Liaoying's hand, emitting beautiful light and looking like a gem.

After getting the ice crystal, Liaoying ended the white tiger's life without hesitation, then took out another larger ice crystal from her bag and put the ice crystal just taken out of the white tiger's body on it. The two merged perfectly together to form a larger ice crystal.

"The frost crystals have accumulated to such a large size? How many spiritual creatures on the snowfield have you killed?" Nanamiya Maye frowned.

"Do you remember how many slices of bread you have eaten?" Shishiye Liaoying looked at her coldly and put the ice crystal back into the bag.

"Thirteen slices, I'm a Japanese cuisine believer." Nanamiya Maya answered without hesitation.

Liaoying looked at Maye as if she was a fool, turned around and was about to leave, but Maye quickly teleported in front of her.

"What? The old stubborn people in the church finally authorized you to take action against me?" Liaoying brushed aside a few strands of hair that blocked her view, but they quickly returned to their original place.

"No, I just hope you will stop hunting spiritual creatures out of a sense of personal responsibility. They are not harmful to humans. Doing this will only anger them - just like the fox clan before." Nanamiya Maya shook her head.

"In my eyes, there is a difference. If you are not ready to fight, then get out of my way. I don't want to waste time arguing with people from the church." Liaoying said, and prepared to walk around Maye.

"Okay, let's not argue about this. But if you continue to collect frost crystals, you will wake him up sooner or later. Do you want this place to become a death place?" Maye did not give way, but opened his arms to block Liaoying.

"So what?" Liaoying said coldly.

"You are too irresponsible! If a war breaks out in a place like this, the entire city will be destroyed and hundreds of thousands of people will die!" Nanamiya Maya looked at Liaoying angrily, but could do nothing to her.

"Come to think of it, why don't you say those weird things anymore? Things like black flame dragon and pitch-black flame, weren't you talking about them every day before?" Liaoying suddenly asked.

When this was mentioned, Maya's serious face suddenly showed a panic. She waved her hands hastily and denied it, "Ah! Don't mention that kind of thing. I've already graduated from my chuunibyou! Do you know what graduation means? It's a complete break! The chuunibyou me of the past is dead. Now I have to cut off all attachments and forget everything!"

"Is that so? That's a pity. You were more interesting before." Liaoying said, reaching out to push her arm away and walking straight away.

"Hey! Please wait a moment! I haven't finished speaking!" Maye turned around and said hurriedly.

"Dusk is approaching, so you'd better take care of yourself first." Liaoying walked away without looking back, only the cold voice remained.

"Tsk, a three-no loli? This chick is quite interesting..." Li Xuan didn't hesitate to mark both of them. Shishiye Liaoying's strength was certainly intimidating, but her sexy fishnet outfit still piqued Li Xuan's interest.

The world's correction power quickly took effect, and the pedestrians on the road continued to do their own things as if nothing had happened. Li Xuan also returned to the inn. While monitoring the two S-rank magical girls through the hunting radar screen, he contacted Felia through the mental channel.

"I found the two of them. They seemed to be arguing. Shishiya Ryoying was hunting a white monster, while Nanamiya Maya was trying to dissuade them. She called this monster a 'spiritual creature'. Do you know what this is?" Li Xuan asked.

"Spiritual creature? I have heard of it. It seems to be a kind of monster that does not hurt people. Because its number is extremely rare, I have never seen a living one." Filia replied.

"Liaoying took something called frost crystal from the spirit creature. Do you know anything about this?"

"I'm sorry... I've never heard of this."

Seeing that Filia was unable to answer his questions, Li Xuan contacted Tang Xi again after some thought.

"Master, please believe me, I am not slacking off! I am working hard to improve the process. Once Miss Wang Li comes back, your weapon can be ready!" Tang Xi suddenly received a call from Li Xuan, and immediately paused the movie playing on his phone in panic.

"I didn't say you were slacking off. There are some things that require your answers." Li Xuan said, telling Tang Xi everything he saw.

"Spiritual creatures? Teacher Feibai has done research on this, but I didn't participate in that project. They often have higher intelligence than monsters, and in most cases they won't hurt people, and they may even go to war with monsters for humans. However, if attacked by humans, they will still fight back, and may even turn evil into real monsters - you can think of them as guardian spirits or something like that." Tang Xi replied.

"So that's how it is. Hunters seem to be hunting them as monsters, but the church's attitude is obviously the opposite." Li Xuan nodded.

"This is also a reflection of the difference in philosophy between hunters and the church. As for the 'Frost Crystal' you mentioned, I haven't heard of it either. But I heard from the teacher that all spiritual creatures have a boss, who is equivalent to the guardian of a natural block. If the spiritual creatures on this land are slaughtered or the ecological structure is severely damaged, it may stand up to stop it - have you read Miyamoto Musashi's "Princess Mononoke"? The Qilin in it is similar to the boss of the spiritual creatures." Tang Xi replied.

"I think I understand what you mean - but I have to remind you: Princess Mononoke is a work by Hayao Miyazaki." Li Xuan complained.

"Ah? Did I remember it wrong? Doesn't Hayao Miyazaki make games? He also made animations?" Tang Xi said in surprise.

"The person who made the game is Hidetaka Miyazaki... Incidentally, Miyamoto Musashi is the Sword Master of the New Sun Kingdom."

"Isn't the Sword Saint called Ashina Isshin? I remember him being a boss in Train Wolf. The author seems to be Hayao Miyazaki. I even saw Tan Xiang play him."

"It's okay, go play." Li Xuan was too exhausted to complain about Tang Xi's knowledge of games and animations, so he had to give up on correcting her ideas.

"Okay - that's what you said." Tang Xi closed the channel of consciousness and continued watching the movie happily.

After getting the information, Li Xuan looked intently at the image on the hunting radar.

Nanamiya Maya came to a high-end hotel, and after she finished transforming, she threw herself on the bed and started sulking - it seemed that she still felt resentful that she could not stop Ryoying.

Looking at Liaoying's picture again, she walked a long way alone in the wind and snow, and finally stopped next to a trash can.

Chapter 522 Life is not easy

Since there was no movement from Maye, Li Xuan focused his attention on Liaoying. She stood by the trash can for a long time, looking around warily, as if to make sure no one was following her.

"She cares so much about this trash can. Could it be that this is the entrance to a crack space similar to the black market? Or is it a meeting point for transmitting information?" Li Xuan thought.

However, what unfolded next was beyond Li Xuan's expectations - after Shishiye Liaoying made sure that there was no one around, she found a brick to put under her feet, then quickly opened the trash can and rummaged through it for a while.

Just when Li Xuan was puzzled by her actions, Liaoying suddenly showed a look of surprise, took out a large piece of bread and half a bottle of vodka from the trash can, and then hurriedly ran to the corner with them.

Liaoying tried to break the bread with her hands, but the bread was as hard as a rock - it was obvious that the bread was too hard to eat, so its owner threw it away.

Disappointed, she smelled the vodka in the bottle again, and seemed to be choked by the strong smell of alcohol. She couldn't help coughing. After hesitating for a long time, she finally didn't have the courage to drink it, so she had to throw them into the trash can.

Liaoying continued walking forward. She came to a convenience store, hesitated for a moment, and then walked in.

Because of cognitive impairment, no one noticed that her clothes were so out of place for the season. Liaoying wandered around the store for a long time, pretending to look at this and that, as if waiting for something.

Just then, a clerk came over and put a discount price tag on a box of leftover rye bread. Li Xuan adjusted his perspective and saw that Liaoying was so happy that her eyes were shining.

After the clerk left, Liaoying immediately picked up a discounted loaf of bread and went to the cashier to pay.

"100 yuan." The cashier said casually.

"What? Look carefully, this is bread that is on sale before its expiration date!" Liaoying reminded hurriedly.

The clerk picked it up and glanced at the label. "Sorry, it's 68 yuan after the discount. Cash or card?"

"Cash...wait, isn't it usually 50% off? Why is it only 30% off today?" Liaoying asked.

"There are different situations for near-expiry products. This kind of bread is more durable in storage, and the expiration date will only slightly affect the taste. The one you bought at a 50% discount last time might be bread from another brand." The clerk explained patiently.

"Can you be faster? I'm in a hurry to go home and cook!" the customer in the queue behind urged.

"Okay! 68 is 68 - can you give me that cardboard box?" Liaoying said, pointing to the large folded cardboard box at the cashier's feet.

"This... well, it was originally used as a footstool at the door, so it's okay to give it to you." Although the clerk was a little surprised, he still handed the cardboard box to Liaoying.

"Thank you!" Liaoying hurriedly took out a stack of banknotes and a few coins from her bag, counted them carefully several times, and then handed the money to the cashier. Then she took the bread and cardboard box and left the convenience store as if escaping.

Li Xuan mentally calculated: Based on the exchange rate in the Snow Country, 68 yuan here would only be equivalent to four or five yuan in the Golden Country, right? The top three powerful hunters couldn't even afford a loaf of bread?
