Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　I wonder if I can fool the casino's tests...

　Arya thought this, but still spoke up: "But you don't have any principal... I don't offer credit point lending services."

　It's understandable, but no one had thought about that aspect.

　Cong Yu patted imaginary dust off his backside and casually led everyone to their feet: "Where there's a gambling den, from..."

　"Of course there are gangs, aren't there?"

　That's absolutely right; it could even be considered a truth in interstellar space.

　"Oh, you're asking the gangsters for money..."

　As Lan Tianzhu spoke, he took a candy out of his pocket and popped it into his mouth, mimicking the motion of smoking—

　"This developmental process seems so familiar."

　Chapter 921 The misunderstanding has been cleared up...?

　Are there gangs in the interstellar era?

　The answer is yes.

　Wherever there is illegal activity, there will naturally be gangs... and gambling is clearly not a respectable profession in any cosmic civilization.

　While casinos are legal in the Star Alliance, that only applies to legitimate casinos... which are essentially intermediary platforms.

　Privately owned gambling dens that engage in "betting against" customers are naturally less legal...

　Especially those gambling dens that also offer loan sharking services.

　"Honestly, it's better to give up..."

　As Aria spoke, she drove what could be understood as a "vehicle" and brought everyone to a stop in front of the alley: "I don't know what the gangs on your planet are like. But real gangs aren't places where you can just lend money to anyone."

　With earnest words, Aria addressed the adorable Earthlings in her eyes, saying, "Haven't you noticed that your innocent eyes and carefree, cheerful atmosphere are completely incompatible with ours?"

　"The gangs here aren't harmonious, mutually supportive groups; they're all driven by profit... Hey, can you hear me?"

　Cong Yu waved his hand at Aria's words: "Ah, I know... the gangs on our planet aren't like those tutors."

　jiatingjaoshi? What is that?

　Arya was somewhat confused. Watching the group laughing and joking as they walked into the dark box, she felt a pang of sympathy.

　It's really rare to see a boss who does things his own way.

　Helpless, she shook her head and got off the bus, glancing at the parking fee on the terminal as she said, "Do you really understand? Gangsters have guns, guns that can shoot!"

　"..." Xiao Cui turned her head to look at her, blinking her eyes: "Sister Ailiya, were you an archaeologist before? Did you ever work as a kindergarten teacher?"

　What?! I was being so kind! Why are even the kids behaving like this?! These customers are such a handful!

　Seeing that Aria seemed hesitant to speak, Cong Yu smiled and said, "We appreciate your kindness... it seems hiring you was quite worthwhile."

　"But didn't we say that we are really, really strong? We are the kind of strong that can ignore weapons and kill everything?"

　Since no one really enjoys showing off or getting humiliated, they wouldn't keep it a secret... They have no interest in pretending to be weak while actually being strong.

　People usually just eat tigers directly; they don't have the idea of ​​pretending to be pigs.

　However, it was impossible for Aria to believe such a statement that subverted other people's worldviews... but she didn't think they were lying either.

　"Ignoring weapons, killing everything... and so on."

　Aria repeated Cong Yu's words, a complicated expression on her face: "So, don't underestimate the interstellar era."

　Not only Aria, but Hikaru Yokawa also nodded seriously: "That's right, Murasame-chan, why did you say such chuunibyou things... It's so embarrassing."

　That's exactly the point...

　Arya nodded.

　"However, we should definitely be able to do it."

　Yao Chuan Guang then added, his eyes lighting up as he waved to several aliens who were sucking food from transparent tubes.

　Because they had guns and melee weapons on their waists, and they were squatting in a standard gangster posture, they were probably gangsters.

　The thing they're eating doesn't really look like cigarettes...

　Instead, it resembles a type of food called "sucking candy" that was very popular in human civilization in the past... It looks very similar in both color and size.

　"Hey! Are you a gang?"

　Yao Chuan Guang waved his hand, attracting the attention of the two gang members: "Have you done anything bad before? Have you ever sexually assaulted a girl? Caused someone's family to be destroyed? Or been planning to rob a bank? Have you ever killed an innocent person? Bombed a coffee shop?"

　Yao Chuan Guang pointed out the details with ease, and he managed to subdue the two alien gangsters... and also Aria.

　“*Muttering profanities*”

　After spitting on the ground, the two alien gangsters, a man and a woman, stood up, pointed their guns forward, and demanded, "What are you doing?!"

　Startled, Aria quickly raised her hand and tried to explain, "It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding, please calm down."

　“They are my guests. Their culture is quite different from ours. They think gangs are places to borrow money, so…”

　Cong Yu and Feng Du's team watched them negotiate quietly, while Yao Chuan Guang, with a gun pointed at him, didn't react at all.

　Because the gun seems to have very little energy.

　There's no comparison to Moirai at all...

　[Beamgun: ?!]

　Yaochuan Guang pondered that even when he first met Congyu-chan, he could easily take down these people.

　After all, they were just a few ordinary people with guns.

　The two gang members, under the scrutiny of the Fengdu team, revealed cruel smiles:

　"Misunderstanding? Haha, there's such a civilization... Oh, is she really that good-looking?"

　As she said this, the female gang member stared intently at Cong Yu's face: "We can lend you money, ha... but we have to be able to get it back."

　That being said, if it's someone from a beautiful race like them who wants to borrow money, it would be better if they couldn't get it back.

　"Hey! Bro, how much do you want to borrow..."

　As she spoke, the female gang member reached for Cong Yu's chest, but Cong Yu quickly caught her.

　This reaction made the female gangster's heart itch—even her refusal was so gentle, wouldn't that mean...?

　Before she could finish her fantasy, a sudden, sharp pain came from the wrist that Cong Yu had grabbed.

　"Ugh! What is that *expletive*?!"

　Amid the curses, she pulled her hand back, then stared at the small snake mark on her hand, her eyes gradually becoming unfocused.

　Then she stood still.

　"Hey! Are you staring in disbelief?!"

　She seemed to ignore even the calls from her male gang members behind her, simply standing there waiting for Cong Yu's instructions.

　"Hey! Hey!"

　The male gangster alien made a couple of calls, and sensing something was wrong, he immediately pulled the trigger...

　But at this moment—

　"bump!"

　With a dull thud, Cong Yu appeared almost instantly beside him, grabbed his wrist, and lifted it towards the sky.

　"call out!!!"

　The condensed beam of light only flew towards the sky before disappearing without a trace before reaching the heavens.

　Following closely behind, this male gang member also suffered the same fate as his companion... The child, with zero resilience, was beautifully subjected to mind control.

　Cong Yu looked at the two new alien "friends" in front of him and clapped his hands in satisfaction: "Done, the number of friends has increased!"

　Xiao Cui cheered in response—

　"Great--"

　Hikaru Yokawa: "Yay—"

　Lan Tianzhu (reading in a monotone): "Oh—"

　……

　Arya: Haha, yeah... just kidding!

　No wonder their civilization is so innocent and they've entered the interstellar age; it turns out that anyone who wants to harm them has become their "friend."

　What a dangerous race!

　Chapter 922 The art style begins to shift towards a fantasy novel featuring a wealthy tycoon.

　In fact, similar life exists on the home planets of many civilizations.

　There are such things on Earth, for example, parasites that can control mantises, Toxoplasma gondii that can control mice and cats, and zombie fungi that can control the movement of ants and insects.

　Or think about it from another angle...

　The queen ant is born with the ability to control her ants using pheromones... This is a natural ability among living organisms.

　Some have also imagined what a civilization would ultimately be like if these creatures became the masters of a planet and continued to evolve along this path.

　But Aria felt that she had found the answer...

　Using special magnetic fields or pheromones, they achieve effects similar to "hypnosis" to control other creatures.

　Such an existence is truly terrifying.

　Arya clearly misunderstood something, but her understanding, in a sense, was the correctness arising from the error.

　You could say it was a lucky accident...

　Because humans are indeed dangerous, but not in the way that they use something to assimilate others while being loving and affectionate.

　Assimilation and contagion in civilization are capabilities that any intelligent life form possesses during its development.

　Humans are not special in this respect...

　These magical girls and weirdos who label themselves as "special" are indeed very dangerous.

　That danger stemmed from their experiences.

　First, there was the endless conflict and fighting between magical girls and monsters throughout countless eras, which even triggered two world wars that seemed to have no end in sight.

　Then there are the undercurrents and open and covert struggles that have become commonplace between different countries and political parties.

　Then came monsters, monsters, extinction spells, various riots and natural disasters of unknown origin... and finally angels, mechs, and even gods.

　Having reached this level, they can now be completely called "invincible"... probably the most battle-hardened humans.

　That's why, and not because of them...

　They possess the skills of hypnosis.

　But Arya, who had been thinking the wrong thing, was now sweating profusely... She was worried that she might become one of the "friends".

　However, I feel they would be in greater danger if left unchecked.

　At least for the sake of the Starfleet, Arya... guide them onto the right path, use "benevolent guidance" on them!

　Encouraging herself, Aria walked over to Cong Yu and the Fengdu team... At that moment, Cong Yu finished his questioning.

　"As I expected, they're not a good gang."

　Ailiya was speechless at Cong Yu's words... To be honest, she had heard of the "good gangster" concept before.

　However, this only exists in fiction; in reality, I've never seen any good gangs that promote harmonious relations between neighbors.

　Lan Tianzhu reached into the pockets of the two gangsters and pulled out a packet of candy, saying, "Isn't this a good thing? We won't feel guilty taking the money."

　"I'm sorry... I'm being lenient by not killing them."

　Yao Chuanguang and Xiao Cui were chattering away, asking the two gang members all sorts of random questions.

　Arya could take this opportunity to ask everyone the question that had been bothering her: "How did you do that?"

　Although she didn't explicitly say what it meant, Cong Yu completely understood what she meant...

　"That's a type of 'technique,' one of the things we can do using our biomagnetic field, although it's not actually a biomagnetic field... but you can understand it that way."
