The correct way to open the magical girl

"I'm not being modest. You'd better look for someone else. The highest position I've ever held since I was a child was group manager. I really don't have the ability to manage so many people!" Li Sijie declined again and again.

"Becoming Pope is a matter of timing and luck. Don't refuse. Besides, our College of Cardinals will do our best to assist you." Flora said, holding her hand.

"In that case, I have no choice but to obey your orders." Li Sijie accepted Florai's suggestion with a righteous look, and immediately reconvened the bishops and held the coronation ceremony again.

Many of the bishops who attended the meeting were rescued by Li Sijie, and were naturally very grateful to her. In addition, with the strong support of Florai's forces, not many people expressed dissatisfaction at the ceremony, and Li Sijie became the new Pope of the church.

Chapter 604 New official takes office

After the Pope was established, an unavoidable issue was placed before the College of Cardinals.

How to deal with the war on hunters?

This war was initiated by Sha Yue. If the church takes the initiative to negotiate peace, it will be tantamount to surrendering to the hunters; if it does not negotiate peace, it will be facing a situation of fighting on two fronts against the hunters and the Black King.

Both of these situations are what the church does not want to see.

"What instructions does His Holiness have on this?" After introducing the current situation of the church, Flora asked Li Sijie who was sitting on the Holy Throne.

Li Sijie knew this was a difficult situation. If she made a wrong decision, her authority as the Apostle would be questioned. After all, she didn't have the popularity of Belldandy, and her position was the result of a compromise within the College of Cardinals.

After some thought, Li Sijie decided to use a non-stick pan:

"I'm new here and don't have enough understanding of the situation in the church. If I give any rash instructions, I might end up making things worse. In my opinion, why don't one of the cardinals go to the front lines to take a look? After all, the commanders at the front are the ones who know the situation best. As for the headquarters, I'm in charge here, so there's no need to worry about the Black King's attack." Li Sijie said in a negotiating tone.

These words are well-reasoned, pertinent, and clearly point out his own role. No one can find fault with them.

The most worrying situation for subordinates is when a new leader parachutes in with no knowledge of the situation and yet presumptuously issues orders. Seeing that Li Sijie wasn't going to blindly command them and was instead delegating power to them, the cardinals breathed a sigh of relief.

After some discussion, the College of Cardinals decided to force peace through war. They gathered a fresh force and had three cardinals, Flora, Ogas and Pandora, lead them to the Kingdom of Stars. It would be best if they could defeat Sayue, but if they couldn't win, they would make Sayue give up and end the war on her own initiative.

They believed that as long as they made the threat of the Black King clear, Sazuki would not be so inconsiderate.

In the Snow Country, Li Sijie also sent Levi and Shiratori Hatsune to lead a team to put pressure on the church. As a result, the church headquarters was left with only Jiadi, who was always idle, and no one was able to supervise Li Sijie.

"Mom Lilika, I'm here to see you. How are you feeling? Are you feeling unwell?" Li Sijie walked into the church's "reformation room" alone and whispered to Lilika.

"I'm fine - and why are you calling mom like them?" Lilika was lying on the bed, her whole body restricted by seals and unable to move.

"Because it's fun." Li Sijie gave her reason without hesitation.

"...It's better for you not to contact me. It will easily arouse other people's suspicion." Lilika whispered.

"Don't worry, in this world, no one knows sealing magic better than me. I have opened a shielding barrier, and no one in the world can see through it - except a certain bad man." Li Sijie said, and raised her hand slightly, and the seals on Lilika's body were broken one after another.

"Is there any news you want me to pass on to the master?" Lilika asked, sitting up.

"There are a lot of things, but he probably doesn't like to hear them. Just say that you are fine now and I have become the Pope. There is no need to say anything else." Li Sijie said, handing Lilika a can of beer.

"Okay." Lilika took the beer, drank it in one gulp, then closed her eyes and began to communicate with Li Xuan.

Li Xuan had been following Lilika's situation on his hunting radar for a long time. Seeing that she had already made contact with Li Sijie, he knew that the outcome was set and felt relieved.

After chatting with Lilika for a few minutes, he went to deliver the grain to Lu Che without any worries. The messenger saw that he had no intention of delivering the grain, but he kept urging him every half hour. It was unclear whether he was anxious to complete his mission or just loved the warm feeling in his stomach when he received the grain.

After paying about two liters of public grain, Li Xuan left Lu Che with a bulging belly and gathered the loli group to go to the amusement park with Hong Zhen.

This time Lilika was not there, so Li Xuan decided to add another member to the loli group - Shishiyo Ryoying.

The reason Liaoying hadn't been allowed to join the lolita group before was because she was still under the influence of the spring water and her emotions were not stable. Now that she has become a family member and has been with everyone for a long time, the murderous intent in her body is no longer so strong, so it is natural for her to join.

"Let me introduce you. Her name is Shishiye Liaoying. She will be a member of the lolita group in the future. You two should get along well with each other." Li Xuan summoned Liaoying and introduced her to Hong Zhen.

"Hello, nice to meet you. I hope we can be friends." Hong Zhen greeted with the polite words he had just learned, then took the initiative to step forward and shake hands with Liaoying.

However, Liaoying looked dumbfounded. She looked at Hongzhen's face and tears streamed down her face.

"Sister?!" Liaoying finally couldn't control her emotions and rushed over to hug Hongzhen tightly.

"Huh?" Although Hong Zhen felt a little confused, in her mind, since the other party liked hugs, she would just give her a hug.

So the two lolis hugged each other for a long, long time, until Liaoying's tears were almost dry and they let go.

"What's going on? Are you sisters?" Li Xuan walked forward and asked.

Hong Zhen shook his head, indicating that he knew nothing. Liao Ying looked at Hong Zhen with some confusion, also looking bewildered.

"Liaoying, you called her sister just now. Did you remember something?" Li Xuan asked.

"I don't know... I just subconsciously feel that she is my sister. I seem to be about to remember something, but I can't remember it now..." Liaoying said, covering her head.

"really..."

Based on the information provided by Shayue, Li Xuan guessed that Liaoying's memory had been modified, and her life experience might not be as simple as guessed.

Moreover, both of them have the surname Shishiye, so it is very likely that they are related. However, their appearances are completely different, and they don't look like real sisters at all.

Li Xuan once asked Mian Yin to check Liaoying's hidden memories, but Mian Yin could only find that her memories had been tampered with, but could not find the hidden parts; he even tried to let Cesia check Liaoying's brain, and the results also showed that the neural structure was normal.

So, what went wrong?

"Liaoying, can you remember anything else about the past?" Li Xuan squatted down and asked.

"I can't remember... I only know that I must kill Frost Father. I have an irreconcilable hatred for it. But I can't remember what that hatred is." Liaoying shook her head.

"Okay then - the others can play here first, let's go and wake up Frost Father!" Li Xuan nodded. It seems that in order to awaken Liaoying's memory, he must go through Frost Father.

Li Xuan opened the portal and came to the northern part of the Country of Mianxue with Liaoying alone.

Chapter 605 Summoning Frost Father

The wind was howling coldly, and water turned into ice. Li Xuan felt that it was even colder here than when he came here a while ago.

"Hamburgers, hot coffee..." Liaoying said, holding Li Xuan's hand.

It seemed that she missed the first meal Li Xuan fed her.

"Okay, I'll take you downstairs to eat." Li Xuan didn't have anything too urgent for the time being, so he opened the portal and teleported to the streets of the city.

As soon as he landed, Li Xuan felt that his vision was covered with white snow. He looked around and found that it was all surrounded by high snow. Even though he was tall, he was buried in the snow up to his neck.

The petite Liaoying was completely buried in the snow, and not even her shadow could be seen.

"Why is the snow so thick? Is there no one cleaning it up?" Li Xuan used his evil energy to blow away the snow around him, only to find that the entire city was buried in thick snow, all the shops were closed, and there was no trace of human beings left.

Li Xuan used a little more evil energy to blow away all the snow in the city. Because the wind was so strong, many cars, road signs and other things were also blown up.

But there were no human bodies.

Li Xuan was too lazy to reason about what happened here. After all, when people have external brains, they are too lazy to use their own brains.

Li Xuan opened the portal and called Qi Mo over.

After becoming a follower, Qi Mo's strength was greatly enhanced. As a seal-type, her perception ability was much stronger than Li Xuan's, and she also developed more uses for her unique bubble magic.

Li Xuan briefly explained the situation to Qimo, and Qimo took out her cell phone and began to search for relevant information.

"Just a week ago, this area suffered a snowstorm and the temperature dropped sharply. The authorities urgently mobilized a large number of vehicles to relocate the population here. The temperature continued to drop after people left. Now the temperature here is minus 71°C, which is no longer suitable for human life." Qimo explained.

Li Xuan finally realized that even though he was protected by evil energy, he could still feel the temperature dropping, which showed how low the actual temperature was.

"There are no more hamburgers and coffee." Liaoying said a little disappointedly.

"Isn't this easy to do? Just ask Lonai to prepare it and send it over." Li Xuan called Lonai in his mind, and the latter quickly prepared three servings of fast food and sent them to Li Xuan.

"Let's eat and discuss while we eat." Li Xuan opened a demonic energy shield to resist the wind and snow, and then the three of them sat on the ground, eating hamburgers while discussing the follow-up plans.

"Qi Mo, can you sense any spiritual creatures nearby?" Li Xuan asked.

"Yes, there are three around the city, and there are more farther away, but it's too vague to tell their number. They are exhaling cold air, making the temperature around them continue to drop." Qimo said.

"So, it's the spiritual creatures that lowered the temperature in this area? Aren't they protecting humans? Why would they actively harm humans?" Li Xuan wondered.

"Maybe they were killed by me... I have been slaughtering spiritual creatures near the Arctic Circle for many years. Maybe I killed too many and aroused their bloodthirsty instincts." Liaoying said with some guilt.

"No, they seem to be preparing for some kind of ritual, so they deliberately changed the environment in this area..." Qimo said.

"What are we trying to achieve by making the weather so cold? And since spiritual creatures are supposed to protect humans, isn't making the weather so cold intentionally trying to kill people?" Li Xuan asked.

"Spiritual creatures protect not humans, but the natural order. When monsters kill people and disrupt the order, they regard monsters as enemies; when humans destroy the environment in which the monsters live, they also regard them as enemies. It's just that they do it by lowering the temperature... This is the first time I've seen this." Liaoying also looked confused, not knowing what was going on.

"Wait... the three spiritual creatures nearby are dead! Was it an internal conflict? No, there is no other aura around." Qi Mo suddenly stood up, concentrated her consciousness and sensed carefully for a while.

"They are exhaling cold air with their own lives! They will die after their energy and vitality are exhausted! They actually sacrifice themselves to create cold air, why on earth is that?" Qi Mo said in shock.

Spirits and demons share the same origin, being both living beings, and naturally possess a strong instinct for survival. Why would they sacrifice their own lives to lower the temperature?

"It's frost crystal. It's the source of their power and the origin of life." Liaoying said, taking out the huge frost crystal from her pocket.

The frost crystals in an ordinary spirit body are no bigger than a grain of rice, but the frost crystals collected by Liaoying are bigger than fists. One can imagine how many spirit bodies she has killed over the years.

"Frost crystals can summon Frost Father, and the spiritual creatures are now transforming their frost crystals into cold air and releasing it... Does this mean that they are trying to summon Frost Father with their own lives?" Qi Mo analyzed.

"Interesting, since they are also summoning Frost Father, why don't we help?" Li Xuan picked up the frost crystal in Liaoying's hand and teleported it to high altitude.

Li Xuan used evil energy to activate the frost crystal from a distance, and powerful cold air began to be released. The surrounding temperature dropped in a short period of time to a level that made Li Xuan feel cold.

Qi Mo hurriedly used magic to create many colorful bubbles, which were piled thickly on the three people. The bubbles filled with air were like down jackets that kept them warm.

"The temperature is still dropping? It's already over 100 degrees below zero, right?" Li Xuan looked at the frost crystals that were still emitting chill, and felt that it had only decreased by less than half.

"Minus 145°C is already higher than the natural temperature anywhere in this world." Qi Mo thickened the foam coat, but Li Xuan could still feel the biting cold.

"It's not enough. Sister Shayue said that in order to summon Frost Father, the temperature in the core area must reach absolute zero." Liaoying said, looking up at the sky.

"That's quite a grand display." Li Xuan poked the bubble suit on his body out of boredom. The originally elastic bubbles now broke at the slightest touch, and were even more fragile than paper.

"Who is releasing frost crystals here!" A cold and elegant voice suddenly sounded in the sky.

Immediately afterwards, a lightning-fast attack shot from a distance towards the frost crystal in the air.

Liaoying reacted quickly, flew up and slashed with a knife, cutting the attack in half.

"Liaoying?"

With a sudden spatial distortion, the voice's owner slowly emerged. She was dressed in a snow-white suit, holding a sniper rifle as tall as herself. Tall and slender, with delicate features, white hair and red eyes, she looked as beautiful as a doll.

"Naijie? Why are you here?" Liaoying said in surprise.

"So you're Liaoying's acquaintance?" Li Xuan raised his head and stared at Nai Jie, and the system soon received her message.

Chapter 606: No Overtime

"Naijie..."

Li Xuan pronounced her name, feeling familiar. He suddenly remembered: Shayue once said that the first person to adopt Liaoying was Naijie, the second in command of the Hunters.

According to the rule that the strong are respected among hunters, Naijie's strength should be even higher than Liaoying's.

"Shayue asked me to be in charge of the war in the Country of Mianxue. I noticed that the spiritual creatures in this area were abnormal, so I came here occasionally to take a look - wait, you really turned into a monster?!" Naijie said to Liaoying in surprise.

Liaoying nodded silently. Facing Naijie, who had adopted her, this killer who massacred the city was as well-behaved as a child.

"Saiyue told me that you might have turned into a monster. I didn't quite believe it... I didn't expect this to really happen." Naijie said dejectedly.

Liaoying remained speechless.

"Saiyue said that if you turn into a monster, she will kill you when she meets you. I... forget it, just go away. I can't do it." Naijie sighed.

"No, I want to stay here and summon Frost Father... I want to get back my lost memories." Liaoying finally plucked up the courage and said to Naijie while looking directly at her.

"If it were normal times, I would not interfere with your revenge. But now we are in wartime, and the appearance of Frost Father will bring many unknowns. Moreover, the appearance of Frost Father means a large-scale natural disaster. Once you can't solve it here, I don't know how many people will die!" Nai Jie stared at Liaoying sternly and said.

"I have the ability to solve it here." Liaoying answered without hesitation.

The two stared at each other for a while, and Nai Jie's gaze suddenly softened. "I really didn't need to bother with this. You're already a monster, so why would you care about this? Well, well, you've grown up now. Let me see if your abilities have improved!"

After Nai Jie finished speaking, she fell backwards as if she was unstable, and happened to fall into the teleportation array prepared in advance, instantly widening the distance between them.

Then there was a "bang" sound of a gunshot, and a bullet faster and more powerful than the previous one shot towards Liaoying's eyebrows.

Li Xuan knew that Liaoying would not be easily hit with her speed, so he did not attack immediately. Instead, he opened the portal and took Qimo to watch from a distance.

Liaoying was naturally not hit. She just turned her head to avoid the bullet, but then, more and denser bullets came from all directions, almost blocking all possible directions for Liaoying to escape.
