I, the villain, have a system for listening to advice

To be on the safe side, Mu Jin asked netizens about the information about Sequoia Company in the original work.

Many people don't have a favorable impression of them. After all, they sent an assassination team to attack Kikuna and caused a large number of casualties among magical girls. But if we really want to say who is more despicable, it is still Goshawk Company and Quincy. The latter is particularly sinful and became the big villain in the early stage. He single-handedly united the magical girls and the mercenary alliance.

On the contrary, General Sid, the head of Sequoia Corporation, has always been aware of the times and has cooperated with the alliance president Bull to implement the development of this interest group without killing innocent people.

This ancient holy relic was extremely powerful and shrewd, and he was like a non-stick pan in chaotic situations, and he did not offend any powerful party.

He did recruit some magical girls.

But the means of doing things are very clever, high salaries and high treatments are used to win them over, and they are given enough respect. Of course, it is precisely because of the intelligence generated from this that Sequoia Company has an advantage in the war against the first generation of the Administration.

No wonder netizens once said "Be careful of General Sid" because this guy will always be on guard against you, but as long as you don't have a falling out, it's easy to get along with him and it's worth paying attention to.

A mature politician will not do anything to the extreme, which is why he even has a good ending in the original work.

Can get along.

Mu Jin made up her mind that the so-called grievances in the original work had nothing to do with her, and instead she should grasp every potential collaborator.

The military is becoming more and more extreme under the influence of hardliners. She is still upset about the last infectious disease leak. This is the hatred of the new world line. If there are more rational mercenaries, we should communicate. As for the precautions of Redwood Company? As long as I am strong enough, it won't happen. No one wants to have another enemy. Since Sid has both the iron blood of a soldier and the flexibility of a politician, he knows how to advance and retreat.

They can communicate at any time, and the mercenaries should take action even without Mu Jin extending an olive branch. The Administration, which is now keeping a high profile, will definitely attract attention from all sides.

But the person in charge, Elsa, is determined to stay here to practice magic, and she is good at leaving people alone. Anyway, the Savior Cult is the most stable, and we will see your performance. In addition, during this period, magical girls will join one after another, and the power of the organization will be further increased.

"Speaking of searching for a new magical girl, I have another piece of information here, about the Antarctic expedition team..."

Hibiscus repeated the news Elsa brought in detail.

"Do you know what the magical girl performance is, where a picture is scribbled on the wall and then the person suspected of entering it is? Is this considered a space system or a causal system? It doesn't matter if you don't know. At least it means that she is not a strong person. I will not pay attention to Antarctica."

There was silence.

Even across the screen, I could feel the other party was slightly stunned. What was going on? Many active optician accounts were slow to respond, probably because the keyboard was smoking due to typing.

[Damn it, what should I tell you. This girl is not actually a magical girl, but she is also a magical girl, so the relevant information will be stronger than the knowledge poison triggered by investigating Elsa's causal system, and she has stacked more anti-detection buffs on herself, so it's best not to investigate easily.]

[Isn't Miss Painter a "quasi-side story character" that is independent of the main storyline? How did she get involved?]

[You forgot, she is looking for the holy medicine]

[@风欣子, actually this person has always been mysterious, a bit like an Easter egg setting. You can trigger it or not. In short, remember that she is beautiful, kind, and powerful.]

[There's no need to be so cautious. The so-called "powerful" is because she is one of the magical girls who has grown to the final stage of the later stage. Now she is at most in the growth stage. Moreover, her current form is too weak. Hyacinth has the advantage.]

Hibiscus watched the whole discussion and became more and more confused. How could it be even more exaggerated than Elsa's time?

She asked: "Can't you even reveal the name of the costume?"

[It really can't be done, because she is not a magical girl, and is directly related to the core secret of the strongest magic in a series. Others grow in a forward order, but she grows in a reverse order, so this product is very weird]

Upon hearing this, Mu Jin frowned immediately. This netizen seemed to be saying it casually, but he carefully considered every word.

Even so, she felt a headache. It was indeed dangerous, and she had enough information. She could guess the eight most powerful magics by the process of elimination and bypass the curse.

Miss Painter should be considered neutral.

As long as the discussion is deep in the conflict between the pros and cons and full of spoilers, his figure should have appeared long ago, so Mu Jin felt a little relieved.

[Our nervousness has nothing to do with the painter, but the meaning behind it]

【Light and Magic fans, think carefully, the main storyline in the original work is actually relatively short, and many small side stories were made to expand the world view, but because the storyline became bigger and bigger, some bugs occurred. Originally, they wanted to connect the main storyline, so they had to double the effort to cut it, so many people have a distinction between the main story and the side stories. Some of the side stories have received positive reviews for their true re-creation, but they have come from derivative games, novels, comics, etc., and then again, what does it mean when the characters in the story appear in the new world line?】

【understood】

[All-star brawl? No, it's a dance of demons. Some real magical girl lunatics are going to stir up trouble. This is going to be fun.]

[So what if they are not the main characters? Our super enhanced Savior Cult is no pushover.]

[It's useless to think so much. Even now you can't completely confirm whether it is an All-Star Smash, because the painter has a small crossover plot, so it's hard to say. The important thing is that we should deduce new suggestions based on the current situation.]

[Yes, if the artist goes to Antarctica, it will definitely cause trouble for the relic treasure house @Hyacinth. We must send more people to keep an eye on it. Otherwise, we can just use force to hold back the treasure house.]

[Cleaning up the consequences of the crazy high-level officials’ blind command]

Hibiscus was cautious. It seemed that she could not ignore the changes in Antarctica. Perhaps she would have to keep an eye on it when necessary.

She herself has to stay in the Hermit Island headquarters, and several relic excavation sites may become the focus. After all, it is not surprising that mercenaries and the army are worried about each other. They may suddenly start fighting. Especially the latter is nervous and urging major war zones around the world to stay active, looking hysterical. It is obvious that local military leaders are forcibly controlling the situation, and the control ability of the joint army headquarters is worrying.

An organization that lacks execution has no trading value.

"Thank you everyone, I understand. I will update if there is any follow-up news."

The silver-haired girl rubbed her temples after shutting down the system. The knowledge poison curse had not yet ended, and the system had already generated a series of relevant suggestions. Although most of the rewards were at the scrap level, it was undoubtedly inclined to join the game, so what was the key point?

Mu Jin actually has no control over this incident, nor is she interested in taking the lead, but she can add fuel to the fire from a more convenient outsider perspective.

For example, the Administration.

What if we use it as a fulcrum to contact the Mercenary Alliance and give them a dose of reassurance? At this moment, Mu Jin already has the answer in her mind, and it's time to make some choices.

……

Europe, Mercenary Alliance Headquarters, top floor office.

Bull, the actual leader of the entire mercenary side, sat at the table and tapped his pen. As his heart beat, it often made him calmer. He also lost his temper when faced with the piles of search warrants, tax audit reports and court subpoenas on the table. Law?

I want to laugh when you talk to me about law. These pieces of paper are just an excuse for bigwigs to play games. The underlying logic of the world is violence.

The value of him displaying these things was merely to complain to his capable subordinates who came to report on their work.

Bull spread his hands and exclaimed exaggeratedly: "Dear Ms. Pesha and General Sid, please judge for yourself. Are there any tacit understandings in these groundless accusations against the mercenary group and its union? It's simply absurd."

The two shrugged and didn't respond.

Sure enough, the next moment, the boss asked himself and answered his own question: "Short-sighted people are destroying the private armed contractor system that has been hard-won over the past half century. Without us to lead the charge, are the pampered young soldiers going to the battlefield? The kind that will be criticized by the media if one or two die? We absorb consumables from underdeveloped areas to defend developed areas. We have done all the dirty work, and you want to get rid of us? Some people with confused minds should change their minds."

The slightly complaining tone just now turned gloomy at the end, and a murderous aura arose spontaneously, which even Sid and Pesha, who were experienced in the battlefield, looked at them with awe.

The president was very angry. His goal had always been to create more lobbying groups to influence the authorities, but he did not expect the other party to counterattack so strongly this time that they almost wanted to fight openly.

Croft on the other side realizes that Bull is a threat that must be eliminated.

Everyone around him has been investigated, and now it's his turn. If he goes to the hearing, he will be in danger of death.

Sid said quietly, "President, in fact, many conciliatory military factions and a large number of influential retired officers are inclined towards us. This is a dying counterattack by the remaining isolated people. Don't mind it. You must not leave the headquarters control area, otherwise the case of Jimmy Hoffa will happen again."

"I'm not stupid."

"The most urgent task is to find the weak points and give the most elite part of the army a hard blow. The war zones watching from below will not have much reaction."

Bull held his forehead and sighed, "It's easy to say, but the threat of the treasure house has not been eliminated. We all know that there are more than just cursed relics in it. And the excavation site they control is still unearthing powerful cards. If the Mercenary Alliance cannot control the key strategic points, no one will really join us. It's just a show."

"The Antarctic expedition team has found traces. This is good news."

"But we lack troops. Can you imagine how powerful you are, the Snow Lady, who leads a group of elite troops including the Holy Relics in Antarctica? That is your absolute home turf, and with the treasure house, you might be able to stop even the Catastrophe Beast."

"Sending a killer team?"

"It's not worth it. Besides, if the commotion gets too big, the Holy City Society will be awakened. I don't like those gloomy old guys."

The discussion reached a deadlock. In fact, neither of them talked about the final step, but pushed each other step by step. It really felt that the situation was hopeless, and even a nuclear bomb could be considered a winning solution.

After a moment of silence, Peisha, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up: "Not long ago, someone was attacked by the Ministry of Justice with all their strength, but they sent more than 20 people to the crematorium. They are actually very experienced in dealing with legal attacks. Perhaps I can ask them for advice."

She used a seemingly unimportant topic to pry open the key decision she had to make:

Alliance?

This means that the fruits of victory will inevitably be divided.

Of course, victory is still far from being achieved. So what the top leaders of the alliance are really considering is whether they should establish contact with the Savior Cult? One more teammate means one more risk of being coerced. Besides, everyone lacks understanding of magical girls, and if they don't understand them, they will reject them. Fighting side by side with an organization that is mysterious and even shrouds its origins? It's not easy.

Hearing this, the two men seriously considered various possibilities. Although theoretically both parties had the same interests, they were very wary of the magical girl.

They implicitly represent a direction of evolution and a brand-new attitude, and will definitely replace many things in the future. Deep down, I always feel that we shouldn't open Pandora's box too early.

Bull hesitated for a moment and asked, "So Ms. Pesha has had contact with the Order?"

"This is exactly what I want to report. The Administration hopes to arrange for some magical girls under the control of mercenaries to be hired by them on a trial basis."

They both looked at Sid, who coughed softly.

If Goshawk represents a tough attitude of arrest and detention, then Redwood is much smarter, politely visiting and then offering conditions for recruitment. This is the same logic that Pesha used when she approached Kaori Minase. Although Sid recruited very few magical girls, the key to this matter is attitude.

The Administration is actually demanding the power to recruit personnel in the open, hoping that other forces will withdraw from the area.

That is the condition.

Only a very small number of powerful mercenary giants have the time to find someone to hire with kind words. Every link is full of troubles and it is easy to encounter out-of-control and rampage, so there are very few forces that can really get along with scattered wild magical girls.

In a sense, the Winter Company that Pesa took control of not long ago can also be considered half, but she completely gave up this aspect in order to deepen cooperation with the Administration.

Sid took the initiative to say: "Don't get me wrong, I didn't take any coercive measures. Even the contract was signed with the highest level of mercenary treatment. Of course, they can leave at any time. Maybe it's just a matter of opportunity. From my own interests, I certainly don't want them to be poached, but rationally speaking, if they don't leave, I will take the initiative to introduce them to the Administration and persuade the magical girls to leave."

"Why?" Bull, who knew the least, was also the most surprised.

"It's already gotten out of control twice, and it's easy to attract disaster beasts. A little bit of pressure can make people faint... It's very troublesome and useless."

"You sound like you're complaining about a group of difficult-to-manage new employees." Hearing this, Pesa laughed.

"I've thought about it carefully. Neither the Goshawk Company's plan nor the Redwood Company's plan is suitable. It's best to teach them according to their aptitude and let them go where they should go. It would also be good if we can use this opportunity to form an alliance with the church."

Bull lay down on the leather seat with his eyes closed. His subordinates who were familiar with him understood the president's thinking and decision-making during the brainstorming session.

After a long time, he slowly stood up, turned the globe on the table and looked out the window. The sun was shining brightly and the cold wind from the Atlantic Ocean was gradually dissipating.

"...We can agree to this, but this is just a prerequisite. We still cannot rule out the possibility that the cult will not participate in the war."

"Do not worry."

Sid's confident words left his two colleagues puzzled.

"Two magical girls are already on their way to the Central American excavation site. Their target is the compass. Whether they succeed or not, the army will regard us and the cult as a united front."

Chapter 158 The Second Time Magic (6K)

Teotihuacan excavation site, Mexico.

The rich night color and the quiet tropical rainforest always made Dorothy feel weird, but she still confirmed the transfer of the astrological compass with her adjutant according to the procedure.

The group stayed at the special airport, with a Hercules transport plane and several escort fighters parked on the runway, and the holy body following them. They would fly across South America to the center of Antarctica. They would not land midway, and aerial refueling aircraft would relay supplies to ensure that they always had sufficient fuel.

Considering the current tense situation, the security level has been greatly increased, and there are three layers of soldiers guarding the scene.

Dorothy instructed the captain, "That relic is actually not that great. There are too many things that are unclear. Protecting your own life is also part of the mission. Be careful."

"understood."

"Don't worry. Most of the troops, including the excavation site, have been deployed along your route. Maintain ground-air coordination. No one will dare to provoke you."

The captain suddenly asked with concern: "Isn't that because there are not enough troops here?"

"It doesn't matter. The poison of this local knowledge is so strong that no one is willing to take action. Besides, the heavy weapons that cannot be easily transported are still in the excavation site. Not to mention protecting ourselves, it's enough to attack a small country."

"Okay, sir, we'll set off immediately."

At the same time, a huge, tightly sealed box was loaded into the transport plane. There were even several corpse puppets guarding it. After all, they could completely ignore the poison of knowledge.

Regardless of the mechanism and conditions of the relic itself, as long as the pollution is large enough, the magic output will be large. I am afraid that this is why the top leaders are eager to collect it even if they have not figured out the specific mechanism. But the timing is really bad, as if there is a force that is eager to push the relic to be transported to expose the Antarctic treasure house. After all, a careful inspection along the planned route will definitely reveal the traces of the treasure house.

Although Dorothy had contacted the Snow Girl and was aware of the other party's strength, the mercenaries were not pushovers.

And are you doing it right? The superiors would rather put out cursed relics or even more terrifying existences, which will definitely be a lose-lose situation in the end.

Forget it.

She waved goodbye without thinking too much. Soon the transport plane took off, and at the same time a blue magic barrier enveloped the surroundings. This was the ability of a defensive holy body, which could resist various forms of attacks such as curses, poisons, and electric shocks. In terms of frontal hardness, even the earth-penetrating bombs targeting permanent fortifications could not penetrate it.

Dorothy started the countdown with a watch.

From now on, the top-secret transport aircraft will remain closed throughout the entire journey. As long as it is not equipped with a nuclear warhead, it will not matter even if it is hit by an intercontinental ballistic missile. It can be called an iron wall.

"We have accomplished our mission, and the responsibilities are clear. It all depends on them from now on. Let's take a rest."

The subordinates were relieved by the commander's order, and many of them simply sat down where they were. After all, they had been busy and exhausted over the past few days.

Boom!

Suddenly, a fighter plane exploded, the wreckage splashed and then fell, and the shock wave hit everyone in the airport. Seeing this, everyone immediately crouched down, the air defense alarm wailed, the night sky was illuminated by the searchlights as if it were daytime, and flares were launched into the sky, the scarlet color made everyone's heart beat wildly.

It had only flown a few kilometers when it was attacked, and no ballistic track was found around it, which meant that the enemy had ambushed vertically launched anti-aircraft missiles in front.

The remaining fighters immediately released heat-seeking bombs and took evasive maneuvers, but were caught off guard and had too many flaws, so one missile after another was fired at them, completing the sniping attack.

"We have been attacked—"
