Magical girl? There's no going back!

"..."

"Okay, let's not discuss this. What will be the consequences of becoming a metaphor machine terminal?" Li Xuan asked.

"Every time you listen to the oracle, it is a loss to your soul. The magical girl who becomes a prophecy machine will eventually burn herself out and turn into light and disappear into the world."

"This is too tragic. Such a beautiful girl is just treated as a consumable? What a waste of food," Li Xuan said regretfully.

"I think this is a great sacrifice. Our lives are exchanged for the hope of more people. If one day I need to go to that altar, I will sacrifice myself without hesitation. This is not only the passing of the torch, but also the continuation of will." Shen Liang said tragically.

"If everyone really thinks this way, why do you have to hide it from outsiders? In my opinion, it's better not to pass on this secret." Li Xuan shook his head and strode out of the room.

"Are we leaving? I can sense a powerful magical reaction approaching. The church should have taken action." Li Sijie came forward and said.

"There is one last thing." Li Xuan said, and teleported Li Sijie to the underground wall of the church where the seal was hidden.

"There is a hidden seal behind this wall. Can you unlock it?" Li Xuan asked.

"Could this be the location of the metaphor machine?" Li Sijie asked excitedly.

"Yes, the naked beautiful girl with tubes inserted all over her body is in there, but she is hidden by an invisible seal. Last time, it was the black cat's ability that made the seal materialize so that I could get in. But this time, I can only rely on you."

"That's really a match for your profession." Li Sijie said, putting her hand on the wall for a moment, then smiled:

"The sealer's skill is very high, it seems like the work of an old friend of mine. If you hadn't told me there was a seal here, I might not have noticed it."

"How is it? Can you untie it?"

"Of course." Li Sijie smiled and quickly drew a magic circle on the wall with her fingers. The hidden seal was immediately broken, revealing the room behind that contained the metaphor machine.

The two walked into the room and saw Jiesha still in the container, unaware of anything in the outside world.

But her expression seemed even more painful, and her body looked somewhat unreal, emitting some faint white light.

Thinking of Shen Liang's words, Li Xuan guessed that perhaps the frequent reception of oracles accelerated the depletion of her soul, leading to such a result.

“It’s unbelievable. If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I would have found it hard to imagine that the church would waste resources like this - if you don’t want it, you can give it to me. The president is really willing to give it away.” Li Sijie sighed.

"I want to save Jiesa, can you do it?" Li Xuan asked.

"Are you sure you care so much? She went in voluntarily."

"You even know this? Were you eavesdropping when I asked Shen Liang just now?" Li Xuan said, stretching out his claws to pinch Li Sijie's thigh, his five fingers deeply embedded in the plump thigh meat.

“Hehe, I’m discovered by you... I’m curious too. After all, I’ve also been targeted by the Yu Shi Machine, so naturally I want to know some intelligence.” Li Sijie said with a smile.

"If you want to know, just come in openly. Okay, let's not talk about this for now. I don't care whether she is willing or not, I have to get her out first, so that Yu Shiji won't mess with me every day." Li Xuan said, letting go of his hand.

"Let me give it a try. Very special magic props are used here. It might be a bit complicated." Li Sijie said as she carefully approached the container and began to try to analyze it.

This time she was very careful, but it only took her a few minutes to get the huge container down from the ceiling.

Jiesha, who lost her levitation, fell down suddenly. Li Sijie caught her with a barrier and gently put her into Li Xuan's arms.

Li Xuan only felt that the body in his hand was almost weightless. It was hard to imagine that this was a living person.

"Can these things be pulled off?" Li Xuan asked, pointing at the tubes on Jiesha's body.

"Just pull them out. These things were put in to fulfill the duties of the metaphor machine. She doesn't rely on them to live."

So Li Xuan pulled out the tubes and needles from Jiesha's body, and the latter slowly woke up.

"Are you okay?" Li Xuan asked softly.

Jiesha opened her eyes hazily and looked at Li Xuan. Her eyes were as dull as a puppet's, without any trace of the emotions that a human should have.

"Terminal status: Sleeping; Self-test in progress; Self-test completed: Vital signs are abnormal, life activities are about to end, please replace the terminal in time..." Jiesha muttered to herself, her voice mechanical and numb.

"Hey, hey, real? I just rescued you?"

"It hurts so much..." Jiesha suddenly frowned, her eyes showing pain, and her body turned into light, slowly dissipating in Li Xuan's arms.

"Doraemon, the beautiful girl is about to disappear! Hurry up and use your invincible sealing technique to think of a solution!" Li Xuan shouted hurriedly.

"It has been dissolved by light, so we have to seal it up for now."

Li Sijie hurriedly took out a pair of white stockings and waved them in the air like a ribbon, collecting the dissipated light into the socks, and then tied the sock opening tightly.

"How is it? Is there any way to recover?" Li Xuan asked.

"Her soul has been damaged too severely, so I can only collect it temporarily in this way. But her body is already dead. If I'm lucky, I might be able to keep her in the same state as Miss Cheng. I'll keep her with me for now, and give it a try when I have a chance." Li Sijie said, carefully putting away the stockings.

"That's all we have to do." Li Xuan nodded, opened the portal, and took Li Sijie and Cheng Xuan back to the evil land of illusion.

At this time, the other witches had not woken up yet, only Lilika and Alulu came out to greet them. Li Xuan took them all to the aquarium and found a room to sit down and rest.

"Thank you, Master and Miss Li, for what happened this time. You attacked the church for me, but I was offensive in my words. Please forgive me." Lilika brought snacks and placed them on the table. At this time, she was reunited with her mother and was naturally in a good mood. Her resentment towards Li Sijie had also dissipated.

"No, no, I am so sorry for offending you. I can't help but feel itchy when I see a beautiful woman. Please forgive me, sister." Li Sijie stood up and returned the greeting with a smile.

"This time, we have really offended the church. Attacking the church, holding a party in the church, and humiliating the S-class magical girl, any one of these is enough to make the church remember us for the rest of their lives." Li Xuan sighed as he picked up the teacup.

"So, what are your plans for the next step?" Li Sijie sat down with her legs crossed.

"I can't stay in Qinghe City anymore. The metaphor machine can mark your location, and it's only a matter of time before I'm marked out." Li Xuan took a small sip to moisten his throat, then put the cup down.

"That's right. My identity has been announced to the church by the metaphor machine, and I can't go to school anymore." Li Sijie sighed helplessly.

"It seems that we have to go to a place where the church can't reach. Ms. Lilika, do you have any suggestions?" Li Xuan asked.

Chapter 260 The Lost Land

"What advice can I give? Wherever you go, we mother and daughter will follow you." Lilika said, her eyes unconsciously looking at Alulu who was looking at the fish through the glass.

Suddenly, a huge octopus swam over and pounced on the glass wall. From Li Xuan's perspective, he could clearly see the powerful suction cups clinging tightly to the wall - it was the octopus monster that had the bead in its mouth.

"Wow! There are monsters in here!" Alulu was startled and quickly hid in Li Xuan's arms, putting his hand on her D cup to comfort her pounding heart.

Seeing Alulu being too intimate with Li Xuan, Lilika felt a little jealous for some reason. She quickly denied this thought in her mind: How ridiculous it is for a mother to be jealous of her daughter.

"You must know more about the church than I do. It's okay for you to tell me about it." Li Xuan stroked Alulu's head and said softly.

"The Church is the world's largest magical girl organization. How easy is it to avoid it? Among the twelve major countries in the world, only the northern part of the Golden Kingdom, the Star Kingdom across the ocean, and the Holy King Kingdom in the south are outside the Church's sphere of influence." Lilika replied.

"Oh? Is there anything special about these three places?"

"The first two are the headquarters of the two major magical girl organizations, 'Zhenshouguan' and 'Hunter', and the magical girl organizations in the Holy Kingdom are complicated, so the church has not had the opportunity to intervene for many years." Lilika explained.

"Sijie, where do you think we should go? I think the northern part of the Golden Kingdom is a good place. It's very close, and the writing system is universal. The only problem is that the climate is a bit drier."

"In my opinion, it is better to go to the Kingdom of the New Sun." Li Sijie murmured.

"The New Sun Kingdom Church is very powerful. How can we go there?" Lilika said worriedly.

“Although there is no church influence in the three places you mentioned, there are other magical girl organizations, which will not be much safer for us. Moreover, we are not going to the mainland of the New Sun Kingdom, but the Lost Land.” Li Sijie shook her head.

"That's too dangerous!" Lilika exclaimed.

"Because of this, the church can't find us easily. Besides, don't you think that kind of lawless place is very suitable for Mr. Li?" Li Sijie said with a smile.

"What does the Lost Land mean?" Li Xuan asked in confusion.

"Let me test your geography knowledge. How many islands are there in the Kingdom of the New Sun?"

"Four, counting only the big islands." Li Xuan had a good knowledge of geography, so he answered immediately.

"Your memory is correct, but if it was thirty years ago, the answer to this question would be five." Li Sijie said, holding up five fingers.

"Five? That's impossible. I remember there were clearly four on the map." Li Xuan said puzzledly.

"Yes, there are only four on the map, because there is another island that was 'eaten'."

"Eat it?"

"We all know that magical girls are fighting against monsters all over the world. Once a monster appears, it must be destroyed immediately. Then the world will repair the damage caused by the monster and erase the related memory. But have you ever thought about what would happen if a place was completely conquered by monsters?" Li Sijie asked.

"Don't keep me in suspense anymore and just tell me directly." Li Xuan asked curiously.

"The answer is that it will disappear from people's cognition, just like you don't remember the New Sun Five Islands. About one-seventh of the world's land has disappeared from people's memory due to the attacks of monsters. This is the so-called Lost Land."

"Since it has disappeared, how can we get there?"

"Those places didn't really disappear, it's just that the world modified people's collective memory and closed that space. But the place didn't really disappear, it really exists on the surface. Although most of the people in it are dead or crazy, there will always be people who find a way to survive, and even magical girls will be born there. But overall, it is a world ruled by monsters, full of chaos, brutality and war." Li Sijie replied.

"I've never been to the Lost Land, but I heard from my companions who have been there that it is simply a living hell. Many people have been transformed into monsters or their minds have been corroded. There are horrific scenes everywhere. Is it really a good idea to go to such a place? If Jingjing sees that scene, the bad impact on her will be immeasurable." Lilika said worriedly.

"Mom, I'm not that fragile. Besides, don't we have someone to protect us?" Alulu herself looked indifferent.

"That's okay. We have the Evil Land of Falsehood, so we can let Alulu stay here. But what I'm more concerned about is...are there any cute girls in that kind of place?" Li Xuan asked worriedly.

"You really are such a fool. You're still thinking about women at a time like this... Is this kind of thing so important?" Lilika complained.

"This is a very important thing for me." Li Xuan said seriously.

"Don't worry about this. There are many lost lands in the world. Guess why I recommend you to go to the Kingdom of the New Sun?" Li Sijie said with a smile.

"I do not guess you guess guess?"

"I guess you would."

"You are not me, how do you know I would guess?"

"You are not me either, how do you know that I don't know and you will guess?"

"Are you two children?" Lilika interrupted helplessly.

Li Xuan and Li Sijie smiled at each other. After laughing, Li Sijie rubbed her face and explained:

"Don't worry. Although there aren't many magical girls there, the population base is there. There are at least a few hundred of them, which is enough for you to cause trouble. And you don't have to worry about being hunted down by the church. You can boldly appear as a monster without worrying about it."

When Li Xuan heard this, he immediately felt relieved: Li Sijie herself was also a pervert, and she would not have gone there if there was no pretty girl.

"Also, although there are fewer magical girls, there are enough monsters. Moreover, the monsters there have already developed a basic social structure, unlike their counterparts outside who only know how to destroy," Li Sijie added.

"You mean... bubble monster girl?"

"Yes, I stayed there for a while when I graduated from high school. It is ruled by seven powerful monsters, and other monsters respectfully call them 'Warmasters'. Among the seven warmasters, there are at least three females. In addition, there are many monster girls with decent looks to enjoy, which is one of the reasons why I recommend you to go there." Li Sijie said with a smile.

"Monster girl... Hey, that sounds good." Li Xuan became interested as soon as he heard it.

"Oh my God, you two are really... really hopeless." Lilika looked at the two of them helplessly, and couldn't help but worry about the future of this small organization.

"Since you have decided to go, you have to make some preparations in advance. After all, it is a place blocked by the world, and ordinary space magic can't get there. I'm not sure whether your teleportation can locate there." Li Sijie said.

"You have to tell me where it is first." Li Xuan said.

"It's probably here." Li Sijie dipped her fingers in tea and drew the outline of the four new islands. Then she drew an island in the northeast that Li Xuan had never heard of.

"Let me give it a try." Li Xuan opened the map mode in his mind and tried to locate the place drawn by Li Sijie.

Chapter 261 Preparations before the Transition

Li Xuan concentrated on searching and indeed felt some unusual spatial structures at that location.

The feeling was similar to Black Cat's awakening, but on a much larger scale, as if a large space was hidden.

Although Li Xuan tried very hard to search, there seemed to be only ocean at that location, and he could not reach the lost land no matter what.

"No, I can't find the coordinates for my teleportation." After trying for more than ten minutes, Li Xuan gave up helplessly.

"Look at it from a bright side. Since you can't teleport in, it won't be that easy for the church to get in either." Lilika comforted.

"My barrier magic can temporarily lift the shield in a very small area, but it only lasts for a short time. So before going in, I suggest you make full preparations." Li Sijie said.

Li Xuan nodded. Since the Lost Land was a very chaotic place, he did need to stock up on some supplies - at least he needed to store more food. After all, the creative mode could only produce inorganic matter, and it could not be brought out of the evil land of delusion.

"Let's wait until the witches wake up before we talk about this. It's better for everyone to discuss this kind of thing. I can't think of it so comprehensively at the moment." Li Xuan asked.

"Let me provide the funds. Although you can't take the real estate with you, you can still withdraw the money in the account - it's a pity that the perfume business can't be done." Lilika said.

"Thank you very much, Ms. Lilika. I will lend you this money. I will definitely return it in the future."

"Mr. Li is so stingy. What if the other person doesn't let you have sex with him? Will you not return it to him?" Li Sijie teased.

"I'm already yours, so why shouldn't I return it to you? It's just that I have a lot of stuff at home, so I'd have to trouble you to move it yourself." Lilika said shyly.

"Okay, let's go now. Every second we delay increases the risk." Li Xuan stood up and said.

"I won't go. I'm a little sleepy. I'll find a place to take a nap and wait for you to come back." Li Sijie yawned and stretched lazily with big movements on purpose.

"No, anyone can choose not to go, but you must go with me." Li Xuan lifted Li Sijie's chin and said with a smile.

"What? I've worked hard all night, and you won't let me get some sleep?" Li Sijie said aggrievedly.

"I'm afraid you're not thinking about sleeping, but sleeping with the witch? I think leaving you here alone is no different from putting a wolf in a sheepfold." Li Xuan said with a smile.
