“What did you just say?”
Under the red corruption value, a pair of equally crimson eyes gleamed with murderous light.
A dark purple bat monster appeared, not particularly bulky, with two large holes torn in the flight membranes under its arms.
As a veteran monster of the organization, Bat Lord mainly collected intelligence in the past, but after the [Kashu] organization was destroyed, it and a group of monsters set up their own faction.
This group claimed to revive the organization and tried to capture magical girls for research.
It sounded evil, like an organization from those books that lock magical girls in tentacle prisons.
But actually, Bat Lord was quite pure, just wanting to study the abilities of magical girls.
Bro, are you a villain from the Showa Era?
Look at those legs, then the face, and the waist—do you monsters have so little ambition?
No wonder you can’t catch a single magical girl if you don’t use perversion as motivation.
“Black Owl, as an organization officer, you should know what that statement just now meant.”
Bat Lord rubbed its claws together like a fly.
“You should also know that as an officer, you’re a brain-type. In direct combat, it’s impossible for you to defeat any monster.”
That’s true in theory.
Fang Wei hadn’t undergone modification, so physically he was certainly weaker than this group of monsters.
That was also what gave Bat Lord the confidence to appear openly.
In fact, before Bat Lord, three monsters from the same faction had already tried to attack Xia Yuanhua.
The reason was simple: in the organization’s records, Xia Yuanhua was a combat-type magical girl.
Though she hadn’t been on the battlefield for many years, her danger level was still high.
If Fang Wei hadn’t made Xia Yuanhua let her guard down today, Bat Lord would have had to bow out for much longer.
So tonight was a rare opportunity.
Bat Lord wouldn’t let this blind fool Fang Wei ruin its plans.
If necessary, eliminate him.
Of course, unnecessary is fine too.
“Hehehe.”
The laugh sounded more like a mouse than a bat.
Bat Lord’s claws gleamed as its body arched into a curve.
The next second, a gale roared!
His figure shot forward like an arrow, his palm appearing in front of Fang Wei’s face, aiming to smash this arrogant brat’s head into pulp!
But after a momentary freeze, the charged deathblow never landed.
Fang Wei took a half step back.
In his calm gaze, Bat Lord’s neck, arms, waist, and thighs split open with bloody cracks.
Like a precisely cut porcelain, or like an eto member cleaved in half during the Guqin Operation, Bat Lord’s body scattered to the ground, pieces everywhere.
In the moonlight, blood slid along invisible threads, forming a dense net before Fang Wei.
Good thing he dodged just now, or he’d be covered in blood.
“Hmm? Not dead yet?”
That’s the resilience of modified beings for you.
Fang Wei smiled at the dying Bat Lord.
“Relax, the other monsters have been waiting below for you.”
“After all, I already said it—every magical girl in this city belongs to me.”
The corruption value faded, marking complete death.
After a monster dies, its modified body dissolves into foam.
That’s convenient—Fang Wei didn’t need to deal with the corpse.
After all, ten years ago, [Kashu] was still an evil organization directly opposing magical girls.
To prevent technological leaks, having monsters dissolve into foam after death was normal.
Bat Lord, and the other monsters Fang Wei had dealt with in secret, were all relics of that era.
Their minds were rigid, believing their life’s goal was to rule the world and destroy magical girls.
These old-timers couldn’t get aboard the new age.
If all the magical girls were wiped out, where would Fang Wei farm system points?
By comparison, the current leader of [Kashu] was much more flexible.
Xia Yuanhua’s data, Fang Wei’s identity in this era, and the startup funds for healing magical girls—all were provided by the leader, [Black Cross].
One by one, the threads unraveled, wavering in the moonlight.
Then, a second red corruption value appeared.
[Corruption Value: 93%]
A third.
[Corruption Value: 92%]
Two monster corpses were thrown from the shadows and quickly dissolved.
Fang Wei looked over, teasing.
“Efficient, boss.”
“Mm-hmm, with these two, all the traitors on record have been cleared.”
The voice was clean and pleasant, the tone making it hard to distinguish male from female.
The speaker stepped out of the shadows—silver-white shoulder-length hair perfectly styled, wearing a sharp men’s suit, slender and upright, with skin as white as if washed with milk.
He looked every bit the handsome prince from a comic.
At the same time, he was the current supreme leader of the Kashu organization, codename [Black Cross], known in human society as Si Chen.
When Fang Wei had just reincarnated ten years later, confused and lost, Si Chen found him, arranged housing and identity, and explained the situation—a guide of sorts.
Si Chen was also the reviver of [Kashu].
The former evil organization had been destroyed, but Si Chen rebuilt it, keeping a low profile, engaging in social activities, blending into the crowd, and avoiding magical girls.
It was he who proposed the strategic partnership for healing magical girls.
Hmm, let’s use “he” for now.
“Not bad, Lao Wei. In one night, you took down such a tough magical girl and even flushed out traitors for the organization. I knew you wouldn’t let me down!”
Si Chen hooked an arm around Fang Wei’s shoulder.
No matter how you looked at this stunning person, he seemed like the prince-type tomboy from a manga, even carrying a faint fragrance.
But—Si Chen’s chest was flat as a board, like a steel plate bolted in place, nothing like a woman.
Plus, with the organization’s monsters being all sorts of strange, even including a half-man, half-woman Yin-Yang Lord, Fang Wei couldn’t judge Si Chen’s gender at all.
Like how in America, you can’t judge anyone’s gender.
But this bro had his arm around Fang Wei’s shoulder, calling him Lao Wei, speaking with that sly tone—clearly a man.
Only after going to school do you realize—the more of a man, the more flirtatious.
He hooked his own arm around Si Chen’s shoulder.
They were about the same height, and Si Chen’s silver-white hair seemed to glow at night.
He smiled bitterly.
“Still a long way to go. If I hadn’t reacted fast tonight, you might’ve seen me on the news tomorrow.”
“Xia Yuanhua’s issue needs to be handled slowly. She doesn’t seem short of money but lives in a cramped, remote inn. Plus, she seems really starved for affection. I suspect she has family issues, and work is secondary.”
“Mm-hmm, anyway, I’ll leave it to you.”
Si Chen handed over a wallet.
“Inside is an ID Card I prepared for you. You’ve been missing for ten years, so your original identity can’t be used. There’s also some cash, a student ID, and a new phone.”
Opening the wallet, aside from these basics, there was also a candid photo.
The girl in the picture looked about Fang Wei’s age—eighteen or nineteen, wearing a cotton jacket, plaid skirt, long boots, and heavy black glasses.
Since the shot was taken from the side, her face wasn’t clear, but you could tell she was a pretty girl.
“This is a recently appeared magical girl. South Tong City originally had two magical girls, but with her, there are three. Xia Yuanhua has been inactive for a long time, and there’s another who’s quite dangerous.
This girl is a newcomer. Most importantly, she’s been a magical girl for two months but keeps failing, so she’s rated as the weakest magical girl in the past decade.”
Si Chen patted Fang Wei’s shoulder.
“She’s all yours. If you can hypnotize her directly, great. Even if it’s like Xia Yuanhua’s case, she won’t be more dangerous!”
This guy.
Fang Wei smiled knowingly.
His boss even picked a weak magical girl to lighten his workload.
Since she just became a magical girl, she should still be full of enthusiasm and be detectable by the system.
Okay, just toss her a hypnosis app at first sight, magical girl makes a victory sign, and system rewards rain down like a flood.
This really was—a start more beautiful than ever before ᕕ(◠ڼ◠)ᕗ!
