Huh??!

At worst, he was attracted to Yuan'an Alisa.

You're probably looking for something a little sensual.

With this thought in mind, Cong Yu disappeared from the car and sank into the mouth of the illusory snake that appeared beneath the car seat.

When he reappeared...

We have arrived at our destination.

This is the hotel lobby, decorated very strangely... eerie, with unconscious people scattered all over the floor.

Yuan'an Alisa was also among them.

It turns out it was a group operation, and they all seemed to be members of a family... In that case, these strange people's demands might be quite high.

At the very least, they would control Wind City.

Thinking this, Cong Yu watched as the Spider Monster bound these people with spider silk one by one, and then simultaneously pulled the silk threads to awaken them.

Then...

"Congratulations everyone, you have now passed our group's test and become official members of the 21st Group."

Upon hearing this, Cong Yu almost lost her composure.

Then he heard things like "rebuilding the 21st Group" and "the New 21 Group," and he couldn't help but sigh on the Jormungandr Train.

Holy crap! That's it?

However, the strange woman who appeared at the end did pique Cong Yu's interest with her words—

The strange woman looked at Yuan'an Alisa and asked, "Why do you smell like my sister? Do you know where she went?"

That sounds a bit confusing.

However, after thinking about it for a moment, Cong Yu understood the meaning... The logic required a few twists and turns.

Yuan'an Alisa hasn't had much contact with the strange people lately... To reiterate, Red's race is magical girls.

Even if it's rare, the blood of a magical girl still flows in her veins.

The students of Wind City High School who are most closely associated with the 21st Group... are those placed in front of the school clinic.

The leader of the 21st Group was killed.

It seems that Yuan'an Alisa had been experiencing dizziness and stomach pain recently, and was cured by the miracle doctor, Red, at the school clinic with a miraculous medicine.

Doctor, you have a miraculous cure!

"... So she's the sister of the leader of the 21st Group?"

Cong Yu thought to herself, looking at the other's tail, which had a texture that was neither scales nor catfish... a mermaid and a Naga.

It makes sense that these two oddballs are sisters.

Thinking this, Cong Yu secretly observed...

Cong Yu: OMO

However, Yuan'an Alisa was completely baffled by what the other person was saying, "I don't understand... what are you talking about?"

She obviously didn't understand anything.

"Don't you understand? Then forget it."

The strange man shook his head, then raised his hand high, magic forming sharp blades like flowing water on it. "I'm going to cut open your stomach!"

What kind of logic is this?

Cong Yu sensed something was wrong... These strange people from the 21st Group seemed to be losing their minds.

Wait a minute!

"Stop!"

Cong Yu: "Stay..."

Cong Yu, who had only spoken halfway, silently withdrew her hand from the wall and looked towards the entrance of the hall.

A loud shout came from a step ahead of him.

I don't know why, but it sounds familiar...

"Huff... huff..."

Panting after transforming, Yaochuan Guang looked at the Spider Monster and the Naga Monster: "I'm Magical Girl Shining☆-chan! Leave this to me, you guys run!"

Cong Yu: "???"

No, how did you find your way here?

At this moment, the Spider Monster and the Naga Monster shared a similar question with Cong Yu: "Magical girl? How did you discover our existence?"

"..." In response, Yaochuan Guang swiftly severed the clusters of spider silk with her beam of Light Beam, confidently shouting, "The surveillance footage! I've retrieved the surveillance footage!"

As Yaochuan Guang said this, among the many family members—

[Huh? Didn't the weirdo block the surveillance cameras?]

[What? That's it?]

[Wait, didn't they block the GPS spoofing on my phone either?] This was amidst whispers and similar conversations.

Yaochuan Guang smiled confidently and said, "I have fans among the police! You weirdos who are outdated by the times would never understand!"

"..." The Spider Monster paused for a moment, then immediately realized, "So that's it, it's surveillance... Is this the power that was recently (actually, in 1976) created, originating from mortals?"

The Naga Monster stared at the Spider Monster with a shocked expression, clearly not expecting that the other party would recruit him without any preparation.

Although somewhat surprised, she didn't panic. Instead, she confidently shouted, "Ridiculous! You think there are only the two of us? Come out!"

At her command, a dense swarm of strange figures began to appear on this floor of the hotel... It seems quite a few strange people are hiding here.

They all swarmed towards the lobby.

From this perspective, Gareth Yuan'an should thoroughly investigate whether the Fengdu Hotel has been loyal.

Or rather... is absolute loyalty possible?

With that thought in mind, Cong Yu put on a mask inside the Jormungandr Train.

Since most of them were people that Cong Yu failed to kill in the 21st Group last time, Cong Yu's actions this time... cannot be deducted from the number of times he protected Yaochuan Guang.

That's right, Cong Yu still remembers this setting.

In total, how many times did he intervene to protect Yaochuan Guang, Lantian Zhu, and Xiao Cui?

I think it was eighteen times? But it doesn't really matter anymore.

Just as Cong Yu was about to make another move...

"..."

"Bump!!!"

The window shattered instantly.

Amidst the flying glass, a crimson figure crashed into the lobby, tumbling a few times on the broken glass before raising its head.

The visitor is— Hong Xiawu Hong!

With a "heroic entrance" pose, Red, supporting himself on the ground with one hand, stood up stylishly and subtly removed the shards of glass stuck in his body.

"They actually dared to lay a hand on my student! They clearly don't respect me at all!"

With that, Hong Xiawu Hong stood up and stood next to Yaochuan Guang, commenting, "As a magical girl, you're not qualified to act alone."

Then, Hong immediately added, "But... I personally admire you. Are you planning to work for the Monster Group after graduation?"

Yaochuan Guang didn't know what to say in response to Hong's invitation.

However, the Spider Monster and the Naga Monster, along with other monsters gathered under the "Monster's Call to Arms," became wary.

"Who goes there?!" x2

They asked in unison.

"Ah, who am I...? I'm searching for the answer to that question myself... I'm probably just a former magical girl who happened to be passing by."

Meanwhile, Hong Xiawu Hong was drawing out her voice to buy time while secretly gathering magic power under her feet to activate some kind of formation.

In fact, Hong Xiawu Hong had already learned a lesson from Lantian Zhu.

Now, even in low-elo games, she'll activate the Crimson Formation to avoid getting caught out by unexpected situations.

However, those two

That weirdo said low-end isn't that low-end.

He was, after all, a cadre of the 21st Group.

"You bastard! Are you playing me? You're already courting death!"

With that roar, the Spider Monster made a sudden move, his eight sharp spider spears instantly piercing towards Red, trying to stop her from unleashing the Crimson Formation.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

"Bite--"

The suddenly appearing crimson crystals condensed automatically in mid-air, blocking the Spider Monster's attack.

"Crimson Formation - Infinite Activation - Activate V!"

As Hong said this, she waved her arm lightly, a confident glint in her eyes—"If you want to hurt my student, you'll have to get past me first!"

Yaochuan Guang was deeply moved.

"Teacher Hong!"

Watching from the Cong Yu, Cong Yu felt an inexplicable urge to cry... Hong was truly handsome for once.

Not suffering a defeat is a victory in itself.

Chapter 261?!

For Yaochuan Guang, Yuan'an Alisa was a friend.

This is beyond doubt...

Unlike Cong Yu, who appears cheerful on the surface, says he considers you a friend, and then turns around and gives you, his "friend," to someone else.

In Yaochuan Guang's heart, friendship still holds great value.

Yaochuan Guang, concerned about Yuan'an Alisa, used surveillance footage to determine that Yuan'an Alisa had been kidnapped by a strange man and taken to the Wind City Grand Hotel... one of the tallest buildings in Wind City.

While inwardly grumbling, "[That's why we should have arranged for someone to keep an eye on the surveillance cameras all the time to see if there are any strange attacks]", she sent a message to Lantian Zhu and the others.

Meanwhile, after transforming, they quickly headed towards the Fengdu Hotel.

She originally wanted to wait for Little Lan and the others to arrive before acting together, but when she saw the monster about to harm Yuan'an Alisa, she had no choice but to jump out.

I thought I was going to have to fight this battle alone, but thankfully...

Teacher Hong is here too!

And it looks really impressive...

As Yaochuan Guang thought this, he watched the crimson magic circle spreading out from under his red feet, and it was even getting bigger and bigger.

What she didn't know was that this magic circle was no longer limited to the hotel rooms.

The magic array, which seemed to penetrate the wall like a mold, extended far and wide, spreading out outside the Wind City Grand Hotel building.

Countless people have probably already noticed the unusual situation at the Wind City Building and have likely called the police.

"Go to hell!!"

"Let me show you what I'm made of!"
