Fighting you is like being in jail.

At this moment, Kaname Madoka looked at the much taller Leng Chang with bewilderment, "The world will be destroyed? How could that be?"

"So you're coming to help?" Leng Chang's lips curled up into a friendly smile, but a hint of guilt flashed in his eyes as he looked at Kaname Madoka.

I'm so damn stupid to let middle schoolers save the world.

It really makes my conscience uneasy; she's just a child!

But it doesn't matter! As long as I do evil fast enough, my conscience can't catch up with me!

"Huh? Me? Is that okay?"

Kaname Madoka was startled, her mouth agape in disbelief, and she even trembled with shock at the sight.

"Sure, of course. Let me formally introduce myself. My name is Leng Chang, and I'm a member of the high-level narrative chat group. I'm here to handle some system-related matters."

Leng Chang introduced himself seriously, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes. At this moment, Leng Chang exuded an aura more serious than ever before.

“But… I have no abilities at all…” Kaname Madoka lowered her head insecurity, unable to respond to Leng Chang’s expectant, composed smile.

Magical girls at least have a transformation ability, but in this situation, she has nothing.

Leng Chang, however, stared blankly at the somewhat self-conscious Kaname Madoka, feeling a sense of disbelief.

How naive! No wonder Kyubey succeeded so easily.

"This isn't a big problem. Once you join, you'll have invincible abilities!" As he said this, Leng Chang thought of the previous battle, and his eyes darted away.

He's invincible, but he's also a bit of a useless person.

I drew three ultimate skills in a row. The first was invincibility, making me untargetable—it was incredibly powerful, completely ignoring the difference in strength between myself and the enemy. The second was forced control, and it even earned me money. The third was a super-powerful attack, instantly taking me to the top and achieving a one-hit kill.

The ultimate move that follows will definitely be even more invincible, and it also has an invincible magnetic field that rotates the teeth!

"Can I really join?"

Kaname Madoka was still not confident enough. She looked up at Leng Chang with her eyes sparkling with expectation. She was so kind and innocent.

That look in his eyes truly made Leng Chang's conscience tremble; it was like a dark creature struggling in pain under the sunlight.

Ah! So dazzling! Kurushi!

Why are you always thinking about others? Can't you think about yourself?

Leng Chang felt a blow from the truth, goodness, and beauty, and pouted unhappily. A glint of light flashed in her eyes as she looked at Madoka Kaname.

"Welcome, Madoka Kaname." A wide grin spread across his face, his eyes gleaming with delight. The setting sun, after school, seemed to paint Leng Chang's body black at that moment, and in the shadows, his smile was more sinister than ever.

However, Madoka Kaname didn't notice anything. She excitedly clenched her fists and placed them in front of her chest, widened her eyes happily, and opened her innocent smile, feeling a sense of elation.

Great! Now we have the power to save Homura.

And... Mami-senpai, Sayaka, Kyoko!

Great!

Chapter Nine: I deserve to die!

"Yay! Now I have the power to save everyone: Sayaka, Mami-senpai, Kyoko, and Homura who's been suffering the whole time." Madoka Kaname's lips curled into an excited smile, her eyes filled with joy.

However, Leng Jian looked away when he saw him, and remained silent, feeling guilty.

I'm so damn awful! I even tricked such a kind girl.

Ding!

Welcome Madoka Kaname to the chat group.

Madoka Kaname: Hello everyone, I'm Madoka Kaname.

Leng Chang: I'm the only one in the group.

Madoka Kaname: Huh?

Kaname Madoka stared wide-eyed at the cold-faced man before her, completely frozen in place, feeling as if she had been tricked. But it was too late to say anything now; there was no turning back.

Standing in front, Leng Chang smiled and looked down at Kaname Madoka with a friendly expression. "Remember to activate that ultimate skill during the battle. Let's go, with you leading the way, I can better investigate your school."

"Huh? An investigation?" Madoka Kaname paused, tilting her head in confusion, her short hair also tilting to one side.

"Let's talk as we walk, and don't drag anyone else into this. Your buddy Sayaka is still watching you." Leng Chang raised his hand to support Sayaka, who was looking at him with a gossipy and curious expression in the distance, and mumbled a reminder.

Upon hearing this, Madoka Kaname looked in the direction the finger was pointing and immediately saw Sayaka standing in the open space with her schoolbag in hand. Her familiar silly grin appeared the moment she was spotted.

"Sigh... I already told her to go first." Seeing Sayaka's greeting, Madoka Kaname sighed helplessly, feeling the air flowing through her mouth, her brows furrowed in distress.

With no other option, Madoka Kaname could only grab her schoolbag and run up to Sayaka, forcefully pushing her home amidst Sayaka's comical and gossipy smile.

She only met up with Leng Chang after Sayaka reluctantly left.

Leng Chang lifted his leg and walked towards the school, his flip-flops crunching lazily on the ground. Thanks to Kaname Madoka's help, Leng Chang didn't have to sneak in.

The two walked down the corridor of the teaching building. Kaname Madoka looked around curiously, her eyes full of clarity. She followed closely behind Leng Chang, who was always a few steps ahead of her at the bottom, and asked him a question with a puzzled expression.

What are we here to investigate?

Since it was after school and the hallways were mostly deserted, Madoka Kaname felt a little uneasy, especially since she was currently investigating the kidnapping case.

Upon hearing this, Leng Chang stopped and slowly turned around, his eyes gleaming.

"You know that our main target right now is Gemu, who is the physical education teacher."

"Yes, that's how it is." Kaname Madoka nodded emphatically, looking obediently at Leng Chang, like a model student. When she looked at Leng Chang, she didn't miss a single detail, as if Leng Chang was the only person in her eyes at that moment.

"We can find that guy's location anytime. The main problem now is how many people he has kidnapped and where he is hiding them. We can't afford to use hostages' lives to fight him."

Leng Chang casually glanced at Kaname Madoka and spoke in a flat tone. However, when he mentioned Kazuki's system, his brows furrowed and his eyes sharpened.

“That makes sense, but… why is the teacher a kidnapper? She’s the teacher…” Kaname Madoka couldn’t understand, and lowered her head in disappointment, her eyes losing their luster.

In her mind, teachers are mature adults who would never break the law.

Leng Chang smirked at this, saying confidently and proudly, "Maybe they suddenly gained power and want to do whatever they want, but I'm different! I shared my power after I gained it!"

“Yes!” Kaname Madoka nodded emphatically in agreement with Leng Chang’s words, her short pink hair swaying in the breeze. “Thanks to you, I was able to have the power to save everyone.” As she spoke, her eyes crinkled with laughter as she gazed at Leng Chang with great joy.

“…”

Damn it!

Leng Jian's pupils dilated at the sight, and he glanced guiltily at the sky outside the window. He pouted, not daring to speak, and even rubbed his palms together, feeling a little uneasy.

"Xiao Yuan," he called out guiltily.

"Nani?" Madoka Kaname, still basking in the joy of gaining power, responded sweetly.

"Did you know? The devil's eyes are purple."

"Eh?"

"When you find out the truth, you won't blame me, will you?"

Leng Chang spoke earnestly, his eyes serious and focused, his lips slightly pale. The wind blowing in from the window ruffled his stray hairs, causing them to sway slowly.

"What does that mean?" Madoka Kaname tilted her head in confusion, her short pink hair framing her face, her eyes filled with doubt and incomprehension.

"No, it's nothing. Let's keep looking."

Leng Chang didn't explain, turned around and walked forward, his flip-flops making a clattering sound on the corridor floor, and his blue tracksuit making a slight rustling sound as he walked.

“Pointy waga nai yo~, wada shi…”

She sighed as she watched Leng Chang's departing figure, but didn't think much of it. She chased after him and ran to his side, excitedly asking him about things in the comics that she didn't understand.

......

Nighttime, in front of a convenience store.

Under the incandescent streetlights, there was a little trash, and cigarette butts in the corners. The night air was slightly cool, and inhaling it was somewhat refreshing. It was quiet all around, perhaps because of the kidnapping incident.

Wearing a blue tracksuit and flip-flops, Leng Chang walked out of the convenience store carrying a large bag of things. Kaname Madoka was waiting by the roadside at the entrance, and immediately smiled happily when she saw Leng Chang come out.

After some investigation, they learned something about Gemu's whereabouts, but unfortunately, they couldn't find where the kidnappers were.

At this moment, Leng Chang took out a can of heated juice from his pocket and held it in front of Kaname Madoka.

"Here you go, you want juice."

"Thank you! You've gone to so much trouble."

Madoka Kaname took the juice, held it in her hands, and pressed it to her face, feeling its warm temperature. Her eyes were filled with satisfaction as she looked ahead, and the corners of her mouth curved into a gentle smile.

"Don't worry about it, it's not my money anyway," Leng Chang said casually, taking out his coffee and drinking it. A smile involuntarily crept onto his face when he mentioned it wasn't his money.

Anyway, it's Xiaoyan's bank card! Hehehehe!

It has to be said that the ultimate skill truly lives up to its name; the bank card given to the recipient doesn't even require a PIN, it's plug-and-play, and withdrawals are free!

"Thanks anyway! Hehe!"

Kaname Madoka didn't care about any of that. She happily opened the juice, tilted her head back, and drank it down, enjoying the warm, sweet juice. Her mind relaxed once again.

"help me……"

Suddenly, a child's cry for help rang out, very faint, and easily missed if one wasn't paying attention.

"Huh?! Did you hear the cries for help?" Kaname Madoka paused, her eyebrows twitching, and her eyes quickly scanned her surroundings. She immediately tensed up, but after looking around, she couldn't find anything.

Leng Chang frowned upon hearing this, then suddenly realized, "It's probably Cupid."

"Ah? It's Kyubey, then it's alright." Kaname Madoka's eyes flashed with surprise, and her tense body immediately relaxed.

Since it's Cupid, there's nothing to worry about.

Then she thought of the scene in the comic where she first met Kyubey, and nodded thoughtfully.

"It was around that time... It seems Homura is nearby." She thought of Homura Akemi and smiled expectantly. "I wonder how Homura is doing now."

Click!

Suddenly, the sound of shattering glass rang out, and the whole world changed dramatically.

"It's a witch! A witch's barrier!!"

Madoka Kaname instantly clenched her hands to protect her chest, standing taut on the spot, warily scanning her surroundings. The wind and sand ruffled her twin ponytails, pink strands swaying against her cheeks, and her pink eyes, fixed ahead, snapped back to attention, reflecting the dilapidated environment around her.

The sky turned dark and blood red, the surrounding buildings disappeared, replaced by dilapidated ruins, air filled with yellow sand, and a world of countless barbed wire fences, railings, and chains.

Chapter Ten: There's no denying that he robbed a girl of her money.

Why did the witch's barrier appear?

The sudden change in her surroundings caused Madoka Kaname's pupils to shrink, and she stood there dumbfounded. The moment the witch's barrier was fully formed, her expression turned serious.

Leng Chang silently observed his surroundings, sensing that this witch's barrier was significantly weaker than those he had encountered before. Suddenly, a glint flashed in his eyes, and he looked at Kaname Madoka, saying, "It should be a familiar. Its strength isn't as great as before."

"A familiar?" Madoka Kaname suddenly realized, immediately understanding the situation. A familiar is a witch's subordinate.

However, at that moment, Leng Chang squinted and stared ahead, when the faint sounds of battle broke out. Kaname Madoka, who was standing nearby, also heard something, and her eyes widened as she looked closely.

Two figures, one in black and one in yellow, clashed back and forth. Gunfire rang out continuously, bullets falling to the ground and sparking against the barbed wire.

"Why? Why are Asami and Homura fighting?!"

Kaname Madoka turned to look at Leng Chang with a worried expression. Her short hair swayed with the sudden movement, and she stared at Leng Chang with an urgent look, as if she was about to rush forward at any moment.

"Maybe it's because Mami saw Homura killing Kyubey? Think back to the first time you met Kyubey," Leng Chang said thoughtfully.

According to the original plan, Kyubey escaped after being attacked by Homura Akemi and encountered Madoka Kaname, then encountered the witch's barrier, and only then did Mami Tomoe appear.

Now that Madoka Kaname hasn't met with Kyubey, the situation is clear.

Homura Akemi, who was chasing Kyubey, encountered a witch's barrier and met Mami Tomoe, thus eliminating Madoka Kaname's intervention.

We have to stop them!

Kaname Madoka shouted and ran forward. Her brown leather shoes landed on the broken ground, kicking up a cloud of dust. Her short hair swayed as she ran, and her shirt brushed against her skin.

Her departing figure was so resolute, and she ran very fast.

However, she didn't notice Leng Chang's expression at this moment. The light covered his bangs, forming a shadow that obscured his vision. His eyes flashed with a cold light, and he pursed his lips, pulling back the corners of his mouth to suppress a smile.

Hold on, hold on!

You can’t laugh now!
