Chapter 10: The Landmine Girl Opens the Box

Because of certain things in his childhood, Fang Wei had always considered himself someone with a strong Ah Q spirit.

So what if Xia Yuanhua was a crazy woman?

So what if Qi Qian Cao was a landmine girl?

Looking on the bright side, in his worldview where there were both reincarnations and magical girls, with those two buffs stacked, if this were a certain pineapple bun light novel, he might have already been turned into a woman, saying goodbye to his little brother forever.

But he wasn’t.

That was the greatest fortune amidst all the misfortune.

Another lucky thing was the [Hypnosis app].

This thing didn’t just appear out of nowhere like in the novels.

[Hypnosis app] was the crystallization of the highest intelligence of the [Kaxiu] organization, equipped with high-intelligence AI, distributing mission tools and rewards, all as an encouragement for him to hypnotize magical girls.

Where did the rewards come from?

Go ask my omnipotent magic.

After shooing away Wang Huan and the others, Fang Wei checked the mission tools he first received upon contacting Qi Qian Cao.

He had been so scared before that he forgot all about this.

[Mission Tool: Valkyrie’s Ride Card*1, Time Camera*Unlimited]

Very good.

Once again, it was time to figure out the tool’s use entirely by guessing, with no system introduction at all.

After a bit of research, this Valkyrie’s Ride Card seemed to be a summon item, a disposable good, able to summon a motorcycle.

Although he didn’t know why the mission tool was a motorcycle—was it for helping him escape?

As for the other, Time Camera, it wasn’t something that existed in reality.

Fang Wei’s heart stirred, as if he vaguely understood how it worked.

He focused all his attention on Wang Huan in the distance, treating him as the first test subject.

Come on, leader, give us a smile!

A scene appeared in his mind.

A boy in a high school uniform stood on the stage, while the students below looked drowsy.

The boy held an award certificate, receiving praise from the Principal.

Was this the happiest moment of Wang Huan’s life so far?

Not bad.

This Time Camera seemed to capture someone’s happiest moment, which was, in a sense, also a kind of mind-reading.

But if you asked him what his happiest moment was, he probably couldn’t say himself.

After all, such things often remain buried deep in the mind.

But now, the things deep in his mind could no longer be hidden.

Of course, Fang Wei didn’t have a perverted fetish for peeking into people’s hearts, and after using it once, the upper half of the camera turned gray.

It could only be used twice a day—the so-called ‘unlimited’ probably meant it wouldn’t be consumed.

Since he still had one use left, he had to make the most of it, locking his gaze onto Qi Qian Cao.

However, in the next moment, a pair of big, watery eyes collided with his gaze.

The teacher on the podium was still spouting nonsense.

Qi Qian Cao turned around without a care, her delicate and lovely face expressionless, her eyes showing no emotion.

She just stared straight at him.

Damn, did I forget to turn off the auto-aim?!

Fang Wei broke out in goosebumps.

Before the Time Camera’s ability could even activate, he had to look away.

But in his peripheral vision, Qi Qian Cao kept glancing back at him, making him feel completely ill at ease.

Being stared at for an entire class, the bell finally rang.

Qi Qian Cao had no classes in the afternoon, and Fang Wei felt like he’d been set free.

Bidding farewell to the nameless background student, he was the first to stride out of the classroom and leave quickly.

After walking a few minutes, he looked back—some little Ruiju beast was standing there like a ghost.

Their eyes met, and Fang Wei felt a sense of foreboding.

He pretended not to notice and circled the stairs a few times.

He eventually stopped by the vending machine outside the teaching building, ready to scan for a bottle of water, but the machine opened automatically.

A slender, white jade hand took out a bottle of Mojia and handed it to him.

“Mr. Officer, we meet again.”

The voice was soft and sweet, yet not cloying, but it sent chills down Fang Wei’s spine.

Having already witnessed her stats and auto-aim, Qi Qian Cao now gave him a display of opening the box.

Compared to before, he was less surprised.

After a brief heart flutter, he regained his composure, deciding to just go with the flow, smiling without showing his teeth.

“Is there something you need, Miss Magical Girl?”

Question: Why haven’t the villains of Gotham City realized that Batman is Bruce Wayne?

Because if you don’t expose him, he’s only Batman at night.

If you expose him, he’s Batman all day.

But the Batman belonging to Fang Wei exploded on the spot, and he could only brace himself to face her.

If he continued to play dumb now, he’d really deserve to be thrown into Gotham.

But, unexpectedly, in those clear, beautiful eyes, he couldn’t detect a hint of the magical girl’s hatred for evil.

“There is something…”

A faint blush appeared on the little Ruiju beast’s cheeks.

Untransformed, Qi Qian Cao’s vibe was more like a stylish little sister from next door.

Although Fang Wei didn’t understand fashion, her outfit looked comfortable.

He stiffly took the ‘landmine happiness drink’, and Qi Qian Cao naturally stepped forward.

The girl stood on tiptoe, hands clasped behind her back, smiling sweetly.

“Mr. Officer, were you watching me all through class?”

You were the one watching me for the second half.

No, the more important thing now was, how did Qi Qian Cao know his identity?

As if reading his mind, Qi Qian Cao smiled.

“Mr. Officer’s eyes are so pretty, so even with cognitive blocking magic, you can be recognized at a glance.”

“And besides…”

Seeing Fang Wei frozen, she casually grabbed his hand and popped open the Mojia’s tab for him.

Pssht—

The pungent scent of taurine drink rushed out.

She cradled Fang Wei’s hand, bringing the drink to his lips.

Perhaps because she was a bit excited, her soft, cold hands trembled, causing the drink to spill as she made Fang Wei take a sip.

Can’t fight back—just can’t.

Don’t be fooled by her small stature—this woman’s strength was terrifying.

Fang Wei felt his hand trapped by industrial machinery, and under Qi Qian Cao’s expectant gaze, he was forced to take a sip.

Only then did the girl release him, satisfied.

“And also… this is my first time meeting an Officer. I only heard about them from my seniors before. Usually, I just dealt with magical beasts, so I always thought Officers were ugly, evil monsters. I didn’t expect you’d be… actually pretty handsome…”

She spoke softly, shaking her twin tails in embarrassment, as if she’d found a priceless treasure.

That last sentence completely floored Fang Wei.

I know my model’s not bad.

Back in middle school, even elementary girls sent me wobbly love letters.

But sis, where’s your magical girl’s dignity?

“So, what exactly do you want to say?”

Fang Wei cut straight to the point.

If she’d come to fight, there was still an Undying Totem at Mianzi’s place, and besides, this was school.

There was enough time to contact Si Chen.

The only downside was it might draw Xia Yuanhua over, which was the last thing Fang Wei wanted, since he was still a pure-hearted little boy in the older sister’s mind.

Sensing the hostility in his eyes and as if afraid he’d misunderstand, Qi Qian Cao hurriedly waved her hands.

“It’s nothing. I have no ill intent towards Mr. Officer.”

“Didn’t you say yourself that next time we met, you wouldn’t let me off so easily?”

Her little hands tangled in front of her, her fingers gripping tightly, leaving red marks on the backs.

“I’m right here now… So, Mr. Officer, can you continue what you didn’t finish last time?”
