The correct way to open the magical girl

"If the system has many loopholes, then Li Sijie is not the only one who is stuck with the bug, right? Why not look for someone else?" Li Xuan asked.

"Of course, it's because she stole too much power, affecting the operation of the world." Lu Che clenched his palms and explained, "There are six levels of magic power, the highest of which is EX-level. Because it is so powerful, the hosting system is set up to only allow three EX-level magical girls to appear at the same time, and Li Sijie is the fourth."

Li Xuan pondered for a moment: the "unknown" magic level he'd seen in some people was probably what Lu Che had mentioned as EX-level. Aside from Belldandy and Lu Che, the only magical girls at that level were Li Sijie, Sazuki, and Nijima.

But Lu Che said that Li Sijie was the fourth one. There must be another person in the world who is at this level. Combined with Li Sijie's fear of the Guardian Temple, this person is most likely the legendary Great Guardian Xuandie.

"Can you please move aside for a moment? I need to disintegrate her into light so that the stolen energy can return to the world." Lu Che asked.

"No, you have to know that Hong Zhen is still in our hands. It is still unknown who will win or lose in a fight between you and me, but as long as we start fighting, Hong Zhen will definitely die." Li Xuan threatened.

"I knew this would happen." Lu Che sighed and put his cane aside.

"But if the energy is not recovered, my mission cannot be completed and I still have to stay in the mortal world. Do you plan to let Li Sijie and Hong Zhen live together for the rest of their lives?" Lu Che asked.

"This... is indeed not very convenient. But since you want her life, I can't let you have your wish. Can't we think of a way to have the best of both worlds?" Li Xuan asked.

"If only it were that easy! The magical girl's power is bound to her soul. To regain her power, she must dissolve it." Lu Che stared at Li Xuan for a while, then suddenly saw the ring on his hand, and a glimmer of hope appeared. "There's a way to have the best of both worlds, isn't there?"

"Say it!"

"If you transform Li Sijie into a monster, then the source of her power will no longer be the goddess. In this way, I can spend some time to recover the same amount of magic power and then go back to report." Lu Che suggested.

"Do you think I don't want to? Sijie thought of this idea a long time ago, but the problem is that she can't turn into a monster." Li Xuan spread his hands - once after he and Li Sijie finished their business, he planned to give her his only envoy quota, and by the way, see if giving her the quota directly could make her fall into the devil.

However, the system prompted that the target of the Black Abyss Blessing must be a monster. Li Xuan then fed Li Sijie the Wild Spring Water, hoping to use this trick to make her fall from the devil. However, the Wild Spring Water, which was effective on S-level people, was as ineffective as mineral water when it came into Li Sijie's mouth.

Not to mention the effect of weakening the resistance to demonic corruption, even the original mental function cannot be achieved.

"Is that so? It seems... no, his matter is prohibited. Forget it, I'll go back for now, and let me think of a solution for this matter." Lu Che said, picking up his cane.

"Wait a minute! I suddenly thought of an idea!" Li Xuan hurriedly called out to Lu Che.

"Oh? Is there any good idea?" Lu Che asked curiously.

"You just said that your mission is to recycle energy, right?" Li Xuan confirmed.

"That's true, but if she doesn't just solve it, where can I recover it? I can't just kill the other innocent EX-level ones - besides, I may not be able to beat them." Lu Che spread his hands.

"I have it here!" Li Xuan said, turned around and hugged Hong Zhen over, opened her vagina and showed Lu Che the white liquid inside.

"What are you showing to the world's messenger, you guy?" Lu Che frowned and took a step back.

"Energy! Didn't you notice that there is high-density energy contained in it?" Li Xuan asked.

Lu Che took a closer look and indeed felt a powerful energy coming from the white slurry.

“Yes, but the amount is…”

"I have more! You can have as much as you want!" Li Xuan said hurriedly.

"In that case, maybe we can give it a try." Lu Che walked forward, dipped a little with his fingertips, and put it to his mouth to taste it carefully.

"Energy density formula...substitute the difference correction...the messenger's own loss...hmm, I figured it out." Lu Che said, raising his index and middle fingers towards Li Xuan.

"Yeah? It worked!" Li Sijie also made a "yeah" gesture towards Lu Che.

Lu Che shook his head. "Two hundred liters. Give me two hundred liters of this liquid. I'll go back and see if I can deliver."

"Two hundred liters?! It wouldn't take that much to eat as a meal, right?! Li Sijie weighs only over a hundred pounds including skin and bones. What you want is almost four times her weight!" Li Xuan said in surprise.

"Why do you think there are only three spots for EX-level magical girls? If all the energy in their bodies is released, it will be enough to destroy an entire continent. I'm not asking for too much, this is just the minimum after calculation. And the hosting system may not accept it. I only agree that you are willing to give it a try. If it doesn't work, I will have to come down to find you." Lu Che replied.

Li Xuan looked back at Li Sijie and thought to himself: Although he can emit a large amount of energy, the effective ingredients at one time are actually only more than 100 milliliters. The excess is white body fluid filled for visual effects and does not have such a high energy density.

If you try to fool Lu Che with this, he will definitely see through it immediately.

If he calculated it based on 150 milliliters, he would need six or seven times to reach one liter, and 200 liters would require at least 1,300 times. Even if he was born with the physique of a stallion, these 1,000 times would be enough to endure.

Chapter 593: From animals or plants?

But in order to save Li Sijie, he had to do this.

"Okay! I promise you, I will use two hundred liters of essence to replace Li Sijie!" Li Xuan gritted his teeth, supported his waist, and agreed generously.

"That's great! I just like your temper. Then let's make a deal..." Lu Che nodded in satisfaction.

"Wait! Since it's an agreement, we have to agree on the terms. You made three promises to me before, so I also have three promises to you." Li Xuan said.

"Oh? Tell me."

"First, you must stop embarrassing Sijie in private."

"That works." Lu Che nodded and bent his index finger as a record.

"Third, you must collect this essence yourself. The amount you collect must be weighed and recorded on the same day. You cannot ask for it later. Of course, I also promise you that I will guarantee the quality and quantity and will never pass off inferior goods as good ones." Li Xuan said.

Lu Che was stunned for a moment. "But how do we collect this? Is it the juice from fruits or animals? I can feel the power of life in it. It should be at least a biological product, right? If you want to kill a large number of animals or brutally slaughter them, I can't agree to it."

"No, I swear on my love for magical girls that no living creature will be harmed in this process." Li Xuan promised.

"Okay, then I promise you. But how come this is the third one? What about the second one?" Lu Che bent his ring finger, leaving only his middle finger standing out facing Li Xuan.

"There is no two. There are only two conditions in total. We say three just to make up the number. After all, three conditions sound better than two." Li Xuan said with a smile.

"You are an interesting person. Then in the name of the world, our agreement is established." Lu Che said, taking out a leather water bottle from the basket, uncorking it and handing it to Li Xuan.

"This is..." Li Xuan took the kettle hesitantly. The water inside was very clear and did not have any energy reaction. It looked like ordinary water, but he did not dare to drink it directly.

After all, this is something given by the World Messenger. It might contain some power of rules. If you drink too much, you will explode and die.

"Drink it! This is the dew I collected this morning. It is a witness to our agreement." Lu Che said with a smile.

Hearing her say that, Li Xuan poured half the liquid from the pot in one breath and then handed it back to Lu Che.

Lu Che tilted her head back and began to gulp down the drink. Her mouth was small, so it took her a long time to finish it.

"This water seems to be a little sweet." Li Xuan smiled while wiping his mouth.

"It's the dew on the flower petals, so it's normal for it to be stained with a little nectar." Lu Che shook the bag and put it away only after making sure there was not a drop of water in it.

"I'll use this to collect it later - Li Sijie, you don't have to hide from me. Now that I've made a covenant, I naturally won't make things difficult for you anymore." Lu Che said with a hearty laugh.

Li Sijie finally walked out from behind Li Xuan. Lu Che stared at her for a while, then suddenly showed a relieved expression: "So that's how it is. Even if there wasn't this deal, I can't just let you dissolve it."

"Stop talking." Li Sijie blushed, turned around, cleaned Hong Zhen, changed her clothes, and carried her to the big bed used for filming to rest.

"Miss Hong Zhen is living well here with you. At least she has stories to listen to and toys to play with." Lu Che walked towards Hong Zhen, touched her cute silk nightgown, and smiled with satisfaction.

"That's right. I even specially formed a loli team to play with her." Li Xuan said with a smile.

"However, using the power of the metaphor machine to convey a message to the church is not appropriate, right?" Lu Che suddenly turned around and asked.

"This...you know all this?" Li Xuan smiled awkwardly. Lu Che's intelligence was better than he thought, and his ideas were not that simple either.

"You don't think the goddess's messenger is a fool, do you? I have been paying attention to Hong Zhen's situation. Although the number of places is limited, I still have to keep an eye on such an important person." Lu Che replied.

Listening to Lu Che's words, Li Xuan suddenly wondered if she also had an ability similar to a hunting radar, which could allow her to see the situation around someone regardless of distance?

"Don't be nervous. What you did did not violate our agreement, nor is it part of my mission on this trip. So even if this matter is inappropriate, I will not interfere casually. After all, the last envoy who was smart and interfered in human affairs at will has been sent back by me." Lu Che said, and suddenly revealed a smile as clear as water.

"Beldandi has gone back." Li Xuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard that - as long as she was not there, no one could expose the fact that he had used the metaphor machine.

"That's right, so I have one last thing to do on this trip, which is to check the operation of the metaphor machine. Could you please move aside for a moment? Don't worry, I won't take her away." Lu Che asked.

"Go ahead." Li Xuan said as he made way and let Lu Che come in front of Hong Zhen.

"Self-examination." Lu Che came to the sleeping Hong Zhen and spoke clearly and slowly.

Hong Zhen's body slowly floated up. She was suspended in the air, with her little feet hanging down due to gravity, looking like some kind of ripe fruit.

"Self-test program is running - self-test completed, everything is normal." Hong Zhen didn't open her mouth, but the system sound still came from her body.

"Restart."

"Restarted. This time the boot took 0.03 seconds, which exceeded 100% of users."

"Start the main interface of the Oracle system."

"The Oracle system has been activated."

During the question and answer session, the interface that Hong Zhen had previously shown to Li Xuan appeared again.

Lu Che swished across the map with his cane, the various interfaces switching between them dizzyingly. Strings of data and tables were displayed, and the window in the lower right corner seemed to be constantly calculating something.

"I see... Having promoted so many prayer systems, it's no wonder the goddess's power loss is so severe." After more than ten minutes, Lu Che stopped operating, holding his chin and muttering to himself.

"Can I ask a question?" Li Xuan raised his hand.

"Please say."

"Is the design of the metaphor machine also a part of the hosting system? This thing consumes the soul of the praying magical girl, which is too cruel! Even if it doesn't consume it, it's not right to imprison such a good girl for life!" Li Xuan asked the question he had wanted to ask for a long time.

And probably Lu Che is the only one in the world who can answer this question.

"No, Hong Zhen is independent of the hosting system. Although I can't say too much, as the main body of the metaphor machine, she is actually capable of conveying oracles to any praying magical girl. What Belldandy did is just like making a signal amplifier, so that these magical girls who have been transformed into terminals can receive signals more efficiently." Lu Che replied.

"So it still has to consume souls? This design claims to bring love and hope to mankind. Could it be that the world itself is an evil god, as the Hunter Organization thinks?" Li Xuan said somewhat unhappily.

Chapter 594 The Truth of the Oracle

"Then let me ask you: Do you know why oracles are always vague and require people to comprehend and interpret them?" Lu Che asked back.

"It's just a deliberate riddle to create a sense of mystery." Li Xuan answered subconsciously.

"No, the oracle hides the correct information in vague words in order to protect the soul of the recipient. Conveying this vague oracle will not cause much damage to the soul of the prayer-type magical girl, and the prayer-type soul is originally stronger than the other types and can fully withstand it." Lu Che explained.

"You mean, the oracle given by Belldandy was too specific, which led to the consumption of the soul?"

"Yes, and not only that, I noticed that Belldandy used the power of the world to exceptionally elevate a large number of praying magical girls, that is, forcibly turning people who were originally unqualified into magical girls. This method of elevation should have been a special case, but she has been using it all the time. The souls of these girls were not that strong to begin with, so they could not withstand specific oracles. In order to stably transmit the oracles, she had to come up with a way to transform people into terminals." Lu Che replied.

"No wonder someone like Yunye can become a magical girl! I said that the prayer type is so rare, how come there are so many of them in the church, and they can even be used as firewood!" Li Xuan gritted his teeth in hatred. He couldn't help but regret letting her go. If he had known that she would do such a thing, he should have caught her and tortured her to death.

"She had her own reasons, and objectively she protected many people. But I also can't agree with this approach. It's too cruel for those magical girls who were transformed into terminals." Lu Che sighed.

"Speaking of this, I heard that those magical girls who were transformed into terminals were all volunteers. Is that true?" Li Xuan asked.

"I have checked the girls who served as terminals, and based on their memories... it can indeed be said that they sacrificed voluntarily. Belldandi showed them the scene of the world's peril, and they did sacrifice voluntarily. They were all good children..." When Lu Che said this, she suddenly shed clear tears.

Li Xuan didn't say anything. He was thinking: It turns out that messengers can cry too!

"Let's not talk about this anymore. If I continue, I will make the same mistake as Belldandy." Lu Che wiped away her tears and smiled embarrassedly.

"Well, I won't say anymore. I will find a way to rescue those magical girls who are used as terminals later." Li Xuan nodded.

Lu Che looked at Li Xuan gratefully, then asked, "So, when can I start taking that liquid?"

"Well... I'm a little tired today, so let's start tomorrow! But the production capacity of that liquid is limited, so you'll have to stay here for a while." Li Xuan smiled awkwardly - Lu Che is not a kid like Hong Zhen who knows nothing. I wonder what she will think when she finds out that the liquid is actually her essence.

"I'm sorry to bother you, but the envoy can only live in the homes of righteous people. That means I can only live with Hong Zhen." Lu Che reminded.

"That's easy. I'll expand the cabin later - and have a cat live with us. You don't mind, do you?" Li Xuan asked.

"Cat? I don't mind. But since you're going to live here for a while, you need to do me a favor." Lu Che said.

"Isn't it going to be another trouble?"

"It's not that troublesome." Lu Che said, unbuttoning his raincoat, and a pair of big thunderbolts that were completely invisible on the outside suddenly popped out.

Lu Che reached into the thunder ditch and suddenly pulled out a dark blue spear.

"Oh my god, you can also pull things out of your chest? No, wait, isn't this Shayue's Demon-Slaying Spear?" Li Xuan said in surprise.

"In fact, the messenger does not have the ability to enter this world at will, so in order to come here, I borrowed Sayue's gun. Since I will be staying here for a while, please help me return it to Sayue. After all, the child will definitely be distressed without this gun." Lu Che smiled.

"Okay, leave this matter to me!" Li Xuan's eyes lit up - this was a good opportunity to tease Shayue.

"Thank you very much. I walked a lot today. Can you find a place for me to rest?" Lu Che asked again.

"I'm happy to help." Li Xuan said as he opened the portal and teleported the four people to Hong Zhen's cabin. Then he turned on the creative mode and expanded the cabin into a spacious two-story villa according to the model of Lilika's house - now it can accommodate ten more lolis.

Most people would be shocked by Li Xuan's ability to create something out of nothing when they saw his creative mode for the first time, but Lu Che seemed to have just witnessed an ordinary little thing. After nodding in thanks, he walked into the room.

Although it was her first time here, Lu Che seemed very familiar with the place. She took off her raincoat and hung it on the hanger, went to the bathroom to get a basin of water, sat on the sofa, took off her shoes and socks and started soaking her feet.

After removing the tight clothing, Li Xuan discovered that Lu Che actually had a very good figure. Although she was a lolita, she had curves that a lolita shouldn't have, the type of person who could achieve great results despite being slender. Her inner layer was very cool, just a small tank top and shorts. She looked quite sexy. If it weren't for the raincoat, Li Xuan would have already considered her one of his hunting targets.

"It's so comfortable to soak in hot water~" Lu Che showed a happy expression, and seemed to enjoy the relaxing feeling.

"I have a big hot spring where you can soak your whole body in it." Li Xuan said with a smile.

"No need. Excessive enjoyment will corrode my will. This level is enough. I will give you Sha Yue's coordinates now. Please return the holy weapon to her as soon as possible - I didn't say hello to her when I borrowed it." Lu Che declined.

"Isn't that stealing?" Li Xuan said embarrassedly.

"Steal? Can the work of an envoy be considered stealing? Stealing! Stealing a gun cannot be considered stealing. Besides, this gun was originally given by the world. What's wrong with me requisitioning it as an envoy of the world?" Lu Che's face flushed, and he explained it somewhat incoherently.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Give me the coordinates." Seeing that she was anxious, Li Xuan didn't say anything more. After getting the coordinates, he quietly told Li Sijie to keep an eye on Hong Zhen, and then opened the portal to find Shayue.
