The witch who hunts the magical girl will not be killed in return

But even so, hundreds of civilians have been killed or injured.

Luo You took a look and ignored it.

"Let's go check on Xue...hypnotize her a few more times and that'll be enough."

Luo You drove the car to the building where Yan Xue was staying.

The family of three that originally occupied this place has disappeared. According to neighbors, the family seemed to have believed in some kind of pyramid scheme a few days ago. The entire family, including more than a dozen relatives, were deceived and taken abroad, and their life or death is unknown.

"The efficiency of the other world is reassuring."

Luo You was satisfied and moved in here with Xue.

I took out the key and opened the door. In the empty living room, Xue was standing by the window with her eyes closed and her head slightly tilted back, as if she was feeling something.

"Snow? What are you looking at?"

"....have no idea."

Xue Xiao ran up to her and said, "I always feel like there's an indescribable atmosphere in the air outside."

"What breath?"

"Hmm...it's hard to describe..."

"You just say whether it's good or bad."

".....The bad side, right? Like rotten, smelly mud, a familiar yet strange smell!"

"What kind of wonderful metaphor is this?"

Luo You sat on the sofa and waved to Xiang Xue, asking her to come over.

Brainwash hypnosis! Brainwash hypnosis! Brainwash hypnosis!

After completing the whole process, Luo You came to the window and closed his eyes for a minute like Xue did.

I didn't feel anything.

[Did Xue sense something instinctively from the Sea of ​​Realm? ] Luo You thought.

There is no need to doubt the truthfulness of what Xue said. It should be Xue's reaction to the recent increase in invasions by alien beasts from other dimensions.

Well, it's not a big deal.

Anyway, Youxue is in Huahai City, and the monsters from other dimensions can't cause trouble here. What happens in other places is none of her business.

In recent days, Luo You felt that he was living a very peaceful life.

With nothing to do in the gym, An Jiuer came to make appointments less often, Luo Zining didn't bother her much on weekdays, and Ji Yue didn't come again. Everything went smoothly.

If there is any trouble, it is Li Yun.

"Xingyue, that psychopath, wants me to solve Liyun's problem. Why don't you give me Liyun's address? I can't even find her, so how can I solve her problem of not being able to transform?"

In Luo You's opinion, solving this problem is very simple.

The reason why Li Yun couldn't transform was probably because she fell in love with me after I slept with her seven years ago. So wouldn't it be okay if I just slept with her for one more night?

This way you can save money and solve the problem at the same time, killing two birds with one stone!

Perfect! Am I really a genius?

......In fact, Luo You was also very troubled.

She wanted to help in order to completely end her bad relationship with Luo Zining's family, but doing so would only make things worse.

"It's so annoying."

Luo You collapsed on the sofa, and time passed slowly.

Suddenly, her hands shook violently and she sat up straight.

"Smell it!"

￡5-*(五、=ⅶ⌒陆≠凌?/>灵!@Ⅶ+*5-#$零~A familiar yet strange, extremely evil smell that should not exist in the world!

60. The Mochizuki class was completely destroyed

60.

Luo You leaned half of his body out of the window.

She actually smelled a "smell" in the air that made her feel familiar yet unfamiliar.

It is not a smell that can be smelled physiologically, but a perception of the atmosphere.

People often say "smell a hint of danger", and what Luo You smelled now was something similar.

"I am very familiar with this thing....what is it...?"

Luo You bit the nail of her thumb lightly, but still couldn't remember.

It seems that I have not had contact with this kind of thing for too long. It seems to be right in front of me, but I can never touch it.

But it is undeniable that this smell——

“It’s really unpleasant.”

Luo You frowned.

I feel like I can't ignore it.

I want to get involved but don't know where to start.

In the end what happened?

▼

Ten days ago——

Customs Front

Trenches, fixed positions, troops, and strange-looking weapons.

There are also a large number of magical girls.

Generally speaking, each area of ​​the Kaihai Customs would be equipped with about seven to eight magical girls, but the number of magical girls gathered here at this time far exceeded this number.

Eighty-four.

Among them was Xing Yu, one of the ten seats.

"The Magical Alliance hastily summoned us together. What on earth is going on?"

"The area I was originally responsible for was also facing defense pressure."

"Maybe something big happened."

"Senior Xingyu, do you know anything?"

In the crowd, a magical girl who is familiar with Xingyu: Chaoyang, wants to ask something from Xingyu.

Xing Yu had indeed heard something about it, and said without reservation: "It seems that the garrison troops at Jie Customs have something to tell us."

"The garrison, is this some kind of personnel transfer?"

"I don't know."

Xingyu looked around and found that all the magical girls from the surrounding provinces had been summoned. She could name many of them. They were all magical girls active on the front line and had rich combat experience.

Gathering so many magical girls must mean something big has happened.

Soon, a middle-aged man in his fifties or sixties, wearing a dark green military uniform and with half-white hair, stood on the podium in front.

"Ahem, thank you all for taking the time to respond to the call and come here. Without further ado, I will get straight to the point."

After seeing the middle-aged man with half gray hair, most of the magical girls changed their expressions.

Even Xingyu, who was usually well-informed, opened her eyes wide in surprise.

The commander-in-chief of Jie Customs came to personally deliver the verbal notice? !

As the commander-in-chief of nearly 98 districts and more than people in Jie Customs, he coordinates all military mobilizations within Jie Customs. Even Xingyu rarely sees him on weekdays.

The commander-in-chief on the stage said with a serious face, "At present, three of the Moon-Watching Super-Large Star Rings have been shut down one after another, namely the eleventh, nineteenth, and thirty-sixth zones. During this period, the three zones of the Border Customs will not be able to detect the invasion of dimensional beasts!"

"The Moon-Moon-class super-large star ring is shut down?!"

Once the super-large star ring is gone, the defense line of the Border Customs will be as good as non-existent and become useless.

The border customs with a super-large star ring is called a border customs. The border customs without a super-large star ring is just called a training ground, which is useless.

After all, the dimensional beasts are all operating in another dimension. Without a super-large star ring to force them out, no matter how many planes and cannons the customs set up or how many magical girls they deploy, who can they fight?

It's almost the same as hitting the air.

In this case, wouldn't we be returning to the previous state of being defenseless?

"Why did the super-large star ring shut down? I won't ask the reason. This is not what we should do."

Xingyu walked out among the group of magical girls.

"Without the super-large star ring, we can't even fight against the dimensional aliens. I believe that you summoned us here, so you should have a response plan, right?"

The chief conductor on the stage pushed up his glasses and said, "No, I still need to tell you the reason for the outage. This is also one of the solutions."

"....Could it be that someone's corruption caused the equipment problems?" Xingyu asked.

"What a pity! If that were all, I would be relieved." The commander-in-chief looked worried and turned to look at the back of the stage. "Let him explain the technical issues."

The commander-in-chief gave up his seat, and a researcher in a white coat came up from the stage. He stood in front of the microphone and said:

"I am Zhao Haiping, one of the main researchers of the Mochizuki-class super-large star ring. I am ashamed to say that we are still conducting a more comprehensive investigation into the cause of the Mochizuki-class technical failure. What we know now is that the core component of the Mochizuki-class super-large star ring, the 'Singularity Core', has failed and can no longer be used."

"Since I have permission, I will tell you straight away. The singularity core used by the Moon-Moon class contains substances collected from the Boundary Sea. You can think of it as a kind of "energy". We will extract this substance from the Boundary Sea every once in a while to replenish the singularity core."

"However, after we investigated the faulty singularity core, we found that the cause of the failure was an unknown change in the boundary sea. The composition of this energy source underwent extremely subtle changes, causing the singularity core to age severely and reach scrap condition."

Zhao Haiping's words caused an uproar among the people below. They did not expect that the technology of the super-large star ring was actually related to the boundary sea!

"If that's the case, why did you tell us about such a serious problem only now? We should have discovered and solved the problem in its early stages. Now it's obviously difficult to control, right?"

Xingyu asked doubtfully.

If we had noticed it earlier and made timely arrangements, we wouldn't be in such a state of panic now.

"Unfortunately, the Mochizuki-class is not a small civilian facility that can be disassembled and inspected at any time. It is too large. We inspect it every two years. The last inspection was half a year ago, and the failure occurred a month ago. We discovered the specific cause of the failure half a month ago. After that, we immediately conducted an investigation. It was only in the past two days that we discovered that there was a problem with the material replenished to the singularity core. But it is too late to find out now."

"Is there no spare singularity core?"

"Yes, but there are only five. In fact, there are not only three but eight out of service. The five singularity cores have been used to fill the gaps in the other five, but those five will probably not last long."

At this time, Xingyu realized a more serious problem.

"You said that three Moon-class rockets have been shut down so far. That means there are more Moon-class super-large star rings with problems, right?"

"That's right." Zhao Haiping said in a deep voice: "Currently, there are 27 areas of the Border Customs that have been equipped with the Moon-Watching Class. In other words, if we don't find a solution quickly, one-third of the Border Customs' defense line will be scrapped."

One third of the border sea customs was scrapped. The consequence was too serious. The casualties would be incalculable. If the 'border sea tide' suddenly came, the casualties would be incalculable!

"What about removing the Mochizuki-class and replacing it with the previous Equator-class? Will this method work?" someone asked.

"No, I said that the super-large star ring is too large. The diameter alone is 10km. There is not enough space to store the more than retired equatorial-class rockets. They are basically dismantled. It will take a lot of time to reassemble them."

"So why did you call us here? You're not going to tell us the truth and let us figure it out on our own, are you?"

"Magic power." Zhao Haiping answered seriously, "The singularity core of the Moon-class super-large star ring has new improvements compared to the Equator-class. Magic power can be used as a backup energy source."

"magic?"

Xingyu frowned.

Magic is a special power that only magical girls can use. Using magic as a medium, many strange magics can be performed.

However, because magical girls belong to the Magic Alliance, it is difficult for the human government to have access to magic power. Therefore, even if the top leaders are eager to pursue this power, it is difficult to develop it.

Now suddenly it is said that humans can already apply magic power to super-large star rings?

Xingyu remained skeptical.

"I'm going to say something unpleasant. As far as I know, it seems that there is no research or development on magic power in the world right now. How can it be applied to the Mochizuki class?"

Zhao Haiping pushed up his glasses and said, "This is confidential. Please forgive me for not being able to explain it."

"...So you want us to act as 'generators' to keep the singularity core running?"
