Kyubey! Also known as QB, it is the most unpopular X-Beast in all of Rorschach's magical girl anime series from his previous life.

Suppressing the urge to draw his Firelink Greatsword and roast the QB in front of him a thousand times, Luo Xia's lips curled into a dangerous smile. He patted the loli Sakura in his arms, who was looking quite content, and spoke to the white X-beast in front of him:

"As a guest, shouldn't you introduce yourself?"

The white, cat-like creature tilted its head in confusion upon hearing this, but did not answer Luo Xia's question. Instead, as if it had not understood Luo Xia's words, it squatted down and started acting cute. In order to show that there was no human-like intelligence, it even chased its fluffy tail on Luo Xia's desk.

Rorschach had to admit that if the thing in front of him didn't speak, it was indeed an adorable little animal. But unfortunately, having watched that magical girl anime filled with heartwarming, sugary stories, Rorschach knew very well just how terrifying a monster the creature before him truly was.

"Stop playing dumb. I've heard of your clan's reputation; it's very famous..."

"Incubator"

After a whole day of tinkering, I finally got my computer working again. It was exhausting. I did a lot of research today and discovered that there's actually a mobile game version of Madoka Magica, which adds a lot of new story content. Time to tear up the outline again!

Chapter 244 Cast a long line to catch a big fish!

Chapter 244 Cast a long line to catch a big fish!

The bird, which was chasing its own tail on the desk, heard the name whispered by Rorschach. Its right foreleg, which it had just raised, paused and slowly returned to its original position. It raised its head, which was neither cat nor rabbit, and looked at the black-haired man it had never seen before with great interest.

"It's really strange. I never expected that there would be someone in this universe who knows our race. No wonder you are the one who captured me and brought me to this world, esteemed sir."

"Oh, you can actually tell that you're no longer in your original universe?"

Looking at the seemingly humble white cat-like creature before him, Rorschach's attention was focused on something else. In response to the man's question, Kyubey wagged its bushy tail and provided an answer.

“Our Incubator race may appear to be a kind of beast, but it is actually a very advanced civilization. My body has many functions, one of which is detection.”

"Although the readings of this world are roughly the same as those of the world I originally lived in, there are also many things that contradict that world and that I cannot understand. After some simple reasoning, I came to the conclusion that I have come to a strange world."

There's a famous saying in human civilization: "When you eliminate all the impossibilities, whatever remains, even the impossible, must be the truth." Although traveling through the world is an incredibly unbelievable thing, the facts are right in front of me, leaving me no choice but to believe it.

Qubeley, sitting on Rorschach's desk like a real cat, spoke eloquently without showing the slightest fear or taboo. Apart from a slight respect in his speech, there was nothing unusual about him.

Do incubators have no feelings?

Hmph, what a joke!

If there were truly no feelings, how could one resist the arrival of heat death? If one were truly indifferent to everything, even the extinction of the species should be faced with equanimity. Instead, they use the pretext of an impending apocalypse to relentlessly exploit those poor children.

Suppressing the surging disgust within him, Luo Xia showed no sign of discomfort on his face. Instead, he gently stroked the little girl Sakura, who was curled up in his arms like a kitten, and said softly with a smile:

"I never expected you to quote a human saying. I thought you incubators viewed humans as livestock or crops, things to be harvested at will."

"Human beings also have their own value. The words of some wise people can help us better understand profound questions such as the nature of life and the truth of the universe. Knowledge is priceless, and this has nothing to do with one's background."

Rorschach nodded, seemingly agreeing with Kyubey's statement. Kyubey, sensing that Rorschach didn't seem inclined to kill it, looked at the man before it with its emotionless crimson eyes and asked directly:

"Well then, as payment for having my doubts answered, may I ask a question?"

"Please speak."

"I'd like to know, having evolved to such a high level of life, what is your purpose in bringing me here? It's not that I resent you bringing me here; seeing this new world has broadened my horizons."

"However, I am currently carrying out a very important mission. If I am away for too long, there is a high possibility that something big will happen. In that case, the world where our race lives may be in crisis. For the safety of the entire universe, I must return to my own world as soon as possible."

Wow, they're starting to raise their banners now. This doesn't look like an unintentional move. Or is it targeting me?

Luo Xia glanced subtly at the sleeping loli Sakura in his arms, and at Ilya and Aihara Enju, who had finished their conversation and were looking at Luo Xia and Kyubey's location with curious eyes.

Did you hear something on the way here? Or did you sense something from my attitude towards these children?

Luo Xia looked at the cat-like creature with a mysterious smile in front of him with great interest, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

As expected of a terrifying creature that has been secretly manipulating humanity for tens of thousands of years, its ability to read people's expressions alone is enough to make those naive young girls fall for it.

But what was the reason for bringing it here?

Luo Xia shifted his gaze to the lower left corner, where a system notification would occasionally pop up. These were mostly repetitive entries about increased favorability or rewards. After a while, Luo Xia lost interest in looking at them and simply left them there without paying any more attention.

However, he now had to patiently look through the system's message records, because there was no other possibility besides his own system that could have teleported Kyubey from another world to Rorschach's side.

Estimating in his mind when Lan Yuanyanzhu found the other party, Luo Xia used his mind to drag the progress bar, and soon he actually found the relevant entry.

[The system has detected a special individual suitable to become a system member and is opening a reverse portal. Please be prepared to receive them.]

This is......

Looking at the completely unfamiliar system notification, Luo Xia couldn't recall its origin for a moment. After thinking for a long time, he vaguely remembered that when he first obtained the system, there were two ways for suitable members to access it.

The first method is for the system to discover the target, and then Rorschach goes to the target's world to promote the product and try to sign the target.

The second method also involves the system discovering a target, but unlike the first method where Rorschach travels to the other world, this time the target individual comes to Rorschach's world.

All of Luo Xia's actions had always been the first scenario, and the second scenario had never occurred, to the point that he had forgotten that his system even had this function.

But now that this feature has appeared, it's still at such an inopportune time.

Because, after Rorschach inquired, the system informed him that in such situations, Rorschach could not travel to the other world on his own initiative; he had to obtain the consent of the relevant personnel before he could open the gate to that world.

The problem now is that since Kyubey has appeared, it means that the world of Puella Magi Madoka Magica exists. And judging from the fact that the other party is currently carrying out a very important mission, the moment when the plot will unfold, even if it hasn't happened yet, is almost here.

The senior student died in the third episode, which translates to just a few days after the main story began. If she arrived too late and missed her chance to save the person, wouldn't that mean a life was lost for nothing?

Thinking of this, Luo Xia narrowed his eyes slightly, and a friendly smile appeared on his lips.

"Hehe, please don't mind me, Incubator. I only invited you here because I heard about the deeds of your clan and was curious about them."

"Oh, you're curious about our Incubator race? That's quite rare. May I ask what aspect of our race you're curious about, sir? If you don't mind, I can explain it to you, as long as you can send me back to my world as soon as possible so I can continue my mission."

After gently tapping the center of his topic with a wagging tail, Kyubey stared intently at the smiling man before him, awaiting his response. Rorschach, after a moment's thought, decided what to ask:

"I have heard of the achievements of your Incubator race from other powerful beings. For tens of thousands of years, your race has been working tirelessly to prevent the universe in which your species resides from falling into heat death and causing destruction. As the leader of an organization that is also dedicated to protecting world peace and maintaining the tranquility of the universe, I am very pleased with what you have done."

They were so pleased that they wanted to wipe out their entire race!

"I never expected that you, a human, would praise the actions of our Incubator race. I thought you would be like those other vulgar humanoid races, not only failing to understand our plight but also urging us to fight and kill. So, only beings who have evolved to your level can understand our noble cause?"

Listening to the seemingly touching words spoken beneath Kyubey's expressionless and eerie face, Rorschach, though inwardly unconvinced, still maintained a very friendly demeanor. Only after Kyubey finished his string of compliments did he seem to remember something, reaching into his desk and fumbling for a moment before pulling out something that looked like some kind of circle.

The shopkeeper gently touched the item in his hand, his smile widening even further, and said to the boy in front of him:

"As a reward for your efforts, your Incubator race has successfully earned my respect and friendship. And as a symbol of this friendship, I have decided to give you the same gift."

At this point, Luo Xia paused slightly, lowered his head, and stared intently at the white creature before him before continuing, "

"You should know that ordinary people are not qualified to accept my gifts. Even Odin, the king of the gods of Asgard, paid a great price to obtain something from me. Do you understand how precious my sentiment is?"

Hearing Rorschach's seemingly pointed words, the soft white-furred Chobi wagged its tail, pondered for a few seconds, then stood up and walked to the man's raised hand, automatically putting its head inside the object in the man's hand.

“Very good, it seems you have not disappointed me, Incubator.”

Looking at the black collar resting quietly around Cupid's neck, Rorschach's lips curled into a satisfied smile. Cupid, who had been behaving very obediently, saw the man's smile and spoke up as well.

"Now that I have received the gift, I wonder if you could send me back to my world? If you really wish to learn about the deeds of our Incubator race, you can wait until I complete this mission. At that time, I will come here to speak with you, and I can tell you whatever you want to know."

Kyubey's tone was respectful and submissive, without a trace of impatience, as if he were truly only in a hurry to return to his own world because of the so-called 'mission'. Having achieved his goal, Rorschach didn't try to keep him any longer, nodding slightly and saying:

"Since that's the case, then I won't keep you any longer. In a few days, when your mission is complete, I will summon you back to this world. At that time, I must have a long talk with you."

"I'd rather obey than be overly deferential!"

Sensing that Rorschach seemed to be about to release him, the Cubie quickly straightened up, bent its front paws slightly, and lowered itself as if to pay its respects.

"Very well, then you can go."

No longer willing to waste time, Rorschach waved his free right hand at Kyubey on the table. With a flash of white light, the white cat-like creature that had been lying on Rorschach's desk disappeared.

"Hey, the rabbit's gone? Did Brother Rorschach hide it somewhere?"

Ilya, who had been standing obediently at the gate, watched as Rorschach waved his hand and the little white rabbit that she found so cute disappeared with a whoosh. She immediately felt a little disappointed.

For some reason, she always felt that the 'rabbit' was very important to her, and she could even hear it calling her and saying things like 'contract'.

However, before Ilya could even hear what the little guy was saying, Rorschach waved his hand and sent him away, leaving the silver-haired loli feeling a little regretful.

"It is an extremely evil and ferocious creature that feeds exclusively on children like you, Ilya. It is cruel and ruthless. If you see such a thing again, do not hesitate to use what I gave you."

"Eh~ Is that so?" Hearing Rorschach describe the docile and adorable little rabbit she remembered as a terrifying creature that preys on young girls, Ilya was somewhat puzzled and confused. However, being a docile girl, she nodded without hesitation and promised Rorschach:

"I understand, Brother Luo Xia. If I see that rabbit again next time, I will definitely protect myself."

"Hmm~ Good boy, that's how a good child should behave."

Leaving aside Ilya, who was somewhat embarrassed by Rorschach's praise, Aihara Enju, standing beside her, appeared rather uneasy. This unusual situation naturally caught Rorschach's attention.

"What's wrong, Enju? Are you feeling unwell? Should we take her to see Dr. Muroto Sumire?"

Faced with Rorschach's concern, the bunny-eared girl's expression became even more uneasy, even showing a hint of guilt. The little girl hesitated for a moment, then finally mustered her courage and said in a very low voice:

"I'm sorry, Rorschach. It's all my fault for bringing that dangerous creature here without considering the safety of Ilya and the others. I know I was wrong, and I will definitely be more careful next time and never do it again."

Upon hearing the little rabbit's apologetic words, Luo Xia's expression froze for a moment before he realized that the little one thought he was criticizing her.

Although he was somewhat amused and exasperated, in order to prevent the little one from misunderstanding and becoming depressed for the next few days, Luo Xia simply waved his hand and used electromagnetic force to pull his adorable little bunny loli into his arms. He held her and Loli Sakura together in his arms, lowered his head, and whispered a few words in her ear to her bunny ears, which were now drooping over her head due to her low mood.

Visibly, Aihara Enju's previously aggrieved expression quickly warmed up. First, she looked very surprised, then she became somewhat indignant, and finally her eyebrows were raised, making her look very angry.

"Rorschach, did that guy really do what you said?"

Looking at the bunny-eared little girl who was tilting her head up in his arms, looking at him with an incredulous expression seeking confirmation, Luo Xia's expression also became serious, and he nodded slightly:

"When have I ever lied to you? Even if some things haven't happened yet, the Kyubey clan has been lurking in human society for thousands of years. The number of girls who have died because of their schemes and conspiracies is in the tens of millions. That's a number that would make even the most ruthless butcher shudder."

"Rorschach, what are you waiting for? Why didn't you capture that despicable creature instead of letting it escape?"

The bunny-eared loli was filled with righteous indignation, and she couldn't understand why Rorschach would let Cupid go if he knew about the crimes and dangers the other party had committed.

Luo Xia didn't answer immediately. Instead, he chuckled and placed the little rabbit in his arms on his desk, patting its head with his free right hand before slowly explaining:

“It’s not that I didn’t want to catch him; I wanted to capture that evil creature and make it suffer the punishment it deserved, even more than you did. It’s just that I understood a principle, and it was because of that principle that I let Kyubey go.”

What's the reasoning behind that?

"Cast a long line... to catch a big fish."

"Casting a long line... to catch a big fish?"

Seeing that the bunny-eared loli in front of him still looked confused, Luo Xia smiled indulgently.

"It's alright if you don't understand. I'll take this opportunity to teach you the meaning of that sentence. But before that, could I ask Enju for a favor?"

"What is it?"

Hearing that Luo Xia had something to ask of her, Lan Yuan Enju, who had been somewhat dizzy from everything that had happened in those few minutes, perked up immediately. She jumped off Luo Xia's desk, patted her barely heaving chest, and said proudly:

"I may not know much about other things, but when it comes to fighting and running errands, I'm quite confident. Rorschach, please don't stand on ceremony, just give me your orders!"

"it is good!"

Looking at the bunny-eared loli in front of him with an expression that said "I'll take care of you," Luo Xia couldn't help but reach out and rub her soft bunny ears again before straightening his expression and giving her instructions in a serious tone:

"Enju, I need you to inform all the available Valkyries at St. Freya Academy and tell them."

"Tell them what?"

"It's time to hunt..."

Chapter 245 Invasion of the Evil God

Chapter 245 Invasion of the Evil God

In the empty underground passage, a blue and white portal flashed by. As this magical portal disappeared, a white X-beast, which had been away from this place for several tens of minutes, returned to its homeland.

Looking at the dimly lit street in front of him, which was both unfamiliar and somewhat familiar, Qubi remained silent for a while. Then, as if he had received some message, he suddenly accelerated and crashed into the concrete wall next to him.

'Thump!'

A dull, chilling thud echoed continuously in the alley, repeating for several minutes before gradually fading into inaudibility. Then, an even more unsettling chewing and tearing sound followed, accompanied by eerie splashes of liquid. Several pedestrians who had been about to walk through the alley turned pale and chose another route.

Ten minutes later, a creature with the appearance of a cat, but with a fluffy long tail like a squirrel and a pair of strange rabbit ears, licked its mouth, which was stained with some kind of eerie crimson, while carefully fiddling with the red leather collar in front of it with a beautiful blue crystal. Its emotionless crimson eyes stared coldly at the thing in front of it, and no one could tell what it was thinking.

After a few more minutes, Cupid, who had been silently watching the leather collar, made a new move. Dragging its noticeably larger body, it lowered its head, picked up the collar from the ground, and strode out of the alley.

Silently walking past the record store outside the alley, and then through several streets, Kyubey finally arrived at his destination—a river in the center of Mitakihara.

While it's natural to seek safer and more appropriate methods when facing the unknown, Kyubey senses that a witch is about to become active. Not wanting to miss the battles of their beloved followers, and perhaps even to develop a few new recruits, the Kyubeys have decided, after internal deliberation, to temporarily place this unknown object from another dimension in this stream.

Once everything is over, they will bring their most capable magical girls to deal with this suspicious object that could threaten 'world peace'.

The beautiful necklace adorned with magnificent blue crystals rippled with several sun-refracting bubbles before slowly sinking into the stream without any change or unexpected events.

Although Kyubey had already used his internal sensory organs to scan the collar in front of him, he found nothing unusual except that the leather used to make the collar was of unknown origin and that the gems on the collar were of good quality.
