After sending them all in, he stretched himself and, while waiting for the food to burn cleanly, sat on the chairs specially placed there by his colleagues. He crossed his legs and happily browsed his phone.
However, even though the room was brightly lit under the lights, he still felt a slight discomfort in his eyes. He rubbed his eyes and then looked down at the video playing on the phone screen again.
It seems that staying indoors all the time is not good. It is better for the body to go outside to see green plants and sunlight.
He muttered to himself and looked down at the screen on his phone. Especially when he saw the video of Ji Hui being taken into the police car, he immediately clapped his thigh and laughed.
Because of this, he seemed to be completely unaware that he was not next to the incinerator, and that the corpses had long since disappeared, leaving only the empty car. It was as if turning the switch and the series of actions just now were just an illusion like a dream.
Chapter 637: Accumulated Dissatisfaction
On the eve of the meeting, the sea area around Starfall City had been placed under martial law, ensuring timely support when other responsible persons approached and better protecting their safety.
Because of this, the stars twinkling in the sky are brighter and more dazzling than ever before, making the surrounding dark sea area look like a brightly lit city. With the fluorescent light reflected on the sea surface, the area of light spreads out, like an invisible barrier, symbolizing the power of this world order.
With this level of power, even the Broken Star Palace would not rashly launch an attack. Therefore, for a long time, those gray realms that could appear anywhere on the earth did not appear in the first zone.
But even so, the magical girls in the Starfall City will regularly go on expeditions to some harsh environments where it is difficult for humans to survive, so as to train while protecting the earth from erosion, so as to avoid their skills becoming rusty in a comfortable environment.
They have been to the deep sea, desert, rainforest, volcano, snow-capped mountains, and deep space. In terms of hard power, they are stronger than magical girls from some other places.
However, this time, because of the meeting, some of them were transferred from the branches set up in those places to better ensure safety.
After all, the attacks have never stopped, especially with the increase in the number of fallen women in recent years.
However, for some magical girls who are accustomed to fighting in branches that are like border areas, these are not the only problems.
"Well... I've always had a feeling that these arrangements for the rendezvous here are probably because those responsible are afraid of death, and that's why they have to make such a big fuss every time they launch it?"
While flying over the sea, Violet couldn't help but talk to her fellow scouting companions.
Because the five people in the team happened to be from the same branch, her words seemed more straightforward.
"Look, even though the Fallen Daughter's attacks were more frequent this time, isn't it a bit of an overkill to have so many of us mobilized at once?"
"Is it possible that the reason we came here wasn't just because the Fallen Evil Daughter was attacking the Dark Mace Garden's leader, but also to prevent the extraterritorial demon on the island from causing a riot when the negotiations collapsed?"
The long-haired woman in front of her glanced at her and slowly responded.
"I know, but considering the strength of our expedition team, a demon from outside the domain shouldn't be a big deal, right?"
Violet stretched slightly, causing the magical girl to frown slightly.
"If it's so simple, then why haven't we just destroyed the Broken Star Palace?"
"Isn't it because we still have to protect these ordinary people in Anjianyuan?"
On the other side, Lan Xueyan couldn't help but join in the conversation, with a hint of annoyance in his tone.
"It's clearly a life-or-death battle, yet they're still rigidly following that control and supervision plan. If it weren't for all those restrictions, we magical girls would have rushed to the Broken Star Palace together long ago."
"To be frank, aren't the current Dark Mace Court just a bunch of sluggish people? They're crawling like turtles while we take a few steps. Starfall City's actual development isn't even as fast as the branch we built thanks to our wishes. It's time to abandon our old ways."
Another short-haired girl also said casually after observing the surrounding situation.
"Rather, they're afraid that we'll develop too quickly and lose their position, so they place all sorts of restrictions on us to prevent us from getting out of their control, right?"
"Although I'm also not optimistic about the group of fools in the Xinghuang Church who regard the Holy Spirit Temple as a god, if they had really followed the Holy Spirit Temple's path from the beginning, perhaps the power of magical girls in the world would have increased significantly by now, and they might even have taken down the Shattered Star Palace."
"I really don't know what the Holy Spirit Temple's purpose in giving control to the Dark Mace Garden is. It's useless except for being a hindrance."
Seeing that everyone else also looked in agreement, the captain, Uno Yuka, couldn't help but sigh.
"Alright, enough complaining. I know everyone has complaints, but at least they maintain normal social order, don't they? Otherwise, if humanity itself is in chaos, how can we peacefully fight the Shattered Star Palace?"
"This kind of thing is simple, right? Whoever has the bigger fist controls it. Anyway, some of the Dark Mace Garden members are pretty incompetent right now. It's better to fall down quickly to avoid them occupying positions and causing trouble for us from time to time."
Violet curled her lips and complained about the thoughts that had been hidden in her heart for a long time.
"Anyway, I think it would be better to just let us come. We should just eliminate these incompetent people who can only rely on the power of supervision to forcibly hold people back as soon as possible. It's not like I can't take care of my parents and relatives myself."
"That's enough, Violet. Just complain a little and don't get carried away."
Those somewhat inappropriate words made Yuno Yuka frown even deeper, and her tone was tinged with a hint of dissatisfaction.
"Although we are indeed magical girls now and stronger than most people, don't forget that we were ordinary people at the beginning. Don't forget your roots just because you have power."
"But they have become stronger now, so who can they blame for not being chosen?"
Violet muttered softly, but because Uno Yuka was still the captain, she didn't show it as obviously as before.
But even so, judging from the expressions of the other people, it was obvious that they agreed more with Violet's point of view.
"After all, this world is still ruled by the survival of the fittest. No matter how much powerless people clamor, they can't change anything. Rather, it's unfair to have powerful people but still live like ordinary people, or even castrate themselves, isn't it?"
Lizel, who had been silent until then, shrugged and slowly spoke.
"Honestly, some magical girls might have turned into fallen girls simply because they couldn't stand this. If nothing else, at least they're free."
"Lizel!"
Uno Yuka's emphasized tone also showed her considerable dissatisfaction, which made Lizel quiet down immediately.
"Although we haven't seen each other for a long time because we are from different branches, and I don't want to say anything unpleasant to an old friend, but in these matters, don't mention the evil girl casually."
Looking at this friend whom she hadn't seen for several years, she suppressed her anger and spoke in a calm tone as much as possible.
"Okay, okay, it's my fault, my fault."
Liesel also waved her hand slightly, indicating that she would not talk nonsense anymore.
But even so, the eyes of others revealed some complaints, but due to the situation on the surface, they did not turn it into actual action.
Chapter 638: Like Reincarnation
That's about it ≥≯⌒榴/£{叔叔∽三&*琳∴起∏
Looking at the fallen demon that was directly split apart by her holy sword, Ophelia rose towards the sea level as the gray-white space around her returned to normal.
The high pressure of the deep sea has no effect on her at all. Even if she doesn't use magic to create a barrier, her own physical strength can withstand it, including holding her breath.
It is precisely because of this that, in a sense, she has gradually transcended her original mortal body and is completely different from ordinary people.
Although she herself rarely had similar thoughts, she had met generations of people, and some of their words forced her to pay attention.
Whether she wants it or not, her every move has reached a level that can easily influence most people.
So the fact that she has been fighting on the front line is also what some people expect, but it just happens that she is also working hard for it and is happy about it.
However, this principle may not be effective on other people.
It's not like she hasn't seen some magical girls before who gained powers far beyond that of ordinary people and began to think that they were beyond human.
Some of them were stripped of their status as magical girls due to their bad deeds, and some were forced to have their memories erased or be punished in anger.
Another part of them became what people called "fallen women", who gave up on themselves and were at large, either living a reckless life or being left dead in the wilderness.
Moreover, from ancient times to the present, it has never been truly cut off.
She had personally eliminated her former companions, and although not every one of them was completely resolved, she still had a deep understanding of these hidden dangers.
This is also why she will stay in Xingzhu City for a while longer. Ji Hui's arrival will inevitably make many people restless and cause some dissatisfaction.
No matter what happens, she can be there and at least calm the situation down a little.
Wow————
As she moved quickly, splashes of water appeared on the sea surface, making Ophelia, who was wearing a white skirt and armor, look like a silver fish with a leaping tail, and her two slender legs and body formed a graceful curve.
The moon, without any artificial light competing with it, also reflects its bright light to its fullest, casting silver pearls on this sea area where few people have set foot.
The haziness like a veil also formed a contrast with Ophelia's golden long hair, making her, who was gently tiptoeing above the sea level in her silver boots, look like a singing siren, and the sound of the surrounding waves was like a chord, providing accompaniment for the girl who was independent of this world.
Even after all these years, this sea area is still as peaceful as before.
During her initial exploration of the world, this was a place she found to relax. She also liked to relax herself here and let her nerves, which had been tense for many years, relax appropriately.
However, just like the never-ending infiltration of the Broken Star Palace, even here, traces of the Gray Realm would appear from time to time, forcing her to clear them out.
Gazing at the bright moon above her head, Ophelia kept the tip of her sword hanging over the water, making the waves rising and falling around her seem to actively avoid her, keeping it as calm as a mirror.
Coming back here again is like the reincarnation of history.
So, this time, can Ji Hui, who once again begins to cooperate with the Dark Mace Garden to fight against the Broken Star Palace, break the original deadlock?
Or, just like the few previous contacts, at some moment, at some stage, he became a slave of the Shattered Star Palace and a true alien demon, causing the re-established trust to collapse once again, thus maintaining the tolerance of the Dark Mace Garden and the magical girls towards alien demons back to zero for the next few decades.
Ophelia didn't know that all she could do was use her own strength to destroy the Broken Star Palace as much as possible.
She was not a shrewd politician, nor was she a wise and virtuous philosopher. From the very beginning, she was just a reckless person.
She had long ago rejected the concept of the Philosopher King held by the members of the Dark Mace Garden. If she were to manage and control them, she would only lead everyone to a detour.
She was also very convinced that her ideas and thoughts would not be recognized.
So for someone who insists on these things, it is enough for her to be alone. She never expects others to understand and support her.
Wishful thinking, after all, is just wishful thinking.
Esther once commented on her own words, which may not be entirely wrong.
Ophelia sighed slowly, remembering what a junior once said to her.
Even if it is something you have always insisted on, it will eventually become distorted and difficult to accept in the eyes of others.
From this perspective, Ji Hui and myself have quite a few similarities.
However, she could also see that, completely different from herself, Ji Hui had never had anything that could be called a goal.
In a sense, if it weren't for his special abilities and controversial identity, he wouldn't have intended to pursue any grand ideals or wishes, and could be said to be the same as most ordinary people.
There is no concept, no persistence, just taking one step at a time and setting vague and hazy goals.
In other words, from the very beginning, he was never willing to act as a "hero" or even a "leader".
He was mostly just being pushed into things, having to shoulder the responsibility and act like a leader.
In the end, this kind of existence will either completely collapse due to the unbearable pressure, or become a greedy and insatiable predator as desires expand.
Only a very few can truly become leaders of gold, tempered by times, and with firm beliefs amidst those unreasonable and unfair trials.
Will he become that kind of existence? Ophelia expressed her doubts, but she was just waiting and watching.
After meeting again, she could see that there was indeed something extra in Ji Hui's heart, making his every move seem more inclined.
What happened in Starfall City did make him "grow" in some aspects.
However, we can only judge what the final development will be like after the seeds have completely germinated and taken root.
Click————
The low thunder that sounded slowly from the distant horizon brought Ophelia back to her senses from her thoughts.
Go back
If my estimate is correct, in about five minutes, the thunderstorm in the distance will start here.
Although the rain no longer had any effect on her, the clouds and lightning would obscure the stars and the moon, and she didn't like that very much.
So, her slender and flexible legs moved as if dancing, making her figure blurred, and in a blink of an eye, she had left the sea area.
Chapter 639 Boomerang × Backlight Sword
"It actually has a rain shield function, although I had more or less guessed that."
Looking at the rain splashing on the surface of the barrier above the dome of the city, Chizuru Hazen murmured with some emotion.
There was supposed to be a thunderstorm tonight, but due to the protective barrier outside, the entire city remained unaffected, just like any other peaceful night.
However, judging from the irregular shape of the barrier, they also considered the problem of drainage, allowing the heavy rain outside to form a water curtain on the barrier, flowing down along the barrier, and forming a waterfall in one part, forming a kind of water curtain shape, which complements the bright lights in the city.
Perhaps because the air was not isolated, or perhaps it was just a psychological effect, she rubbed her cheeks slightly when she felt the air was more humid than usual.
Compared to her, Ji Hui beside the bed let Yu Mingxue sit in his arms, gently stroking her hair, enjoying the warm and comfortable feeling.
"Although being able to block out the rain is certainly convenient, it still feels like it's missing a bit of atmosphere."
While the city itself was still filled with sounds in the dark, the sounds of rain and thunder in the sky were also incredibly quiet. If you didn't see it with your own eyes, you wouldn't even know it was raining.
“Although I also stay indoors, I prefer the feeling of working while listening to the rain outside and drinking hot coffee.”
"And it can also increase customer flow a little bit, right?"
Ji Hui's teasing made Yu Mingxue stick out her tongue slightly.
“It’s just a side thing.”
The way she tried to get away with it so cutely made Ji Hui couldn't help but peck her lightly, and then he stroked her hair and spoke to Yuzen Chizuru.
