Monster: "Slander! This Is Slander!"

I feel a little sentimental.

It turns out that even the seemingly formidable Sister Blue Sky has moments when she's "afraid of being attacked by strange people."

Sister Blue Sky, shivering?

It's hard to imagine...

However, Sister Blue Sky, who described it as "first astringent, then causing trembling," could easily imagine what it would look like.

However...

As Lantian Zhu said this, he really wanted to smoke a cigarette, but all he found was candy in his pocket, so he tore it open and stuffed it into his mouth.

Then, in a muffled voice, he said—

"My friend told me, 'When you gain power that rivals theirs, you will become like them.' That's what he told me."

Lantian Zhu completely rejected this argument at the time, but now he surprisingly agrees with it.

At least, that statement was entirely true in that era.

At that time, Lantian Zhu was already terrified of poverty. If she really made a name for herself in Central City, she might become even more money-grubbing than Luisa Adler.

As for whether they will be just as shameless and unscrupulous...

It's hard to say what will happen to Lantian Zhu now, if he succeeds in Central City.

But if magical girls from that era were to grow up, the greater their abilities, the less responsible they would become... Perhaps that's just how it is.

However, it's also possible that [the more selfish a magical girl is, the more likely she is to survive and succeed].

This may be what is known as survivor bias.

But things are different now...

"Now, I'm so glad I didn't become like her... We're great now, but we haven't become the kind of people I used to hate."

"It's truly a fortunate thing to have come this far... For this, I must thank the people around me."

As Lantian Zhu spoke, he watched the blanket gradually turn to ashes, confirming that there were no remaining magical fluctuations or bloody smells.

They then stepped out of the tent first, and the Little Sprite waved and gradually disappeared from the spot... However, before they completely returned to the Fairy Kingdom.

"By the way, it's best not to tell Little Guang about these things."

Adding this, Lantian Zhu said earnestly, "She doesn't seem like the type to accept you secretly killing someone... If there's any big commotion tomorrow, just pretend you don't know anything."

Little Sprite: "Chirp--(Okay--)"

--

"..."

"Well, their hands and feet are relatively clean."

As he said this, Cong Yu, arms crossed, silently emerged from the shadows, glanced at Selena beside him, and said, "Do you understand now?"

Sister Selena, who was on night shift but was suddenly brought here, quickly nodded to indicate that she understood.

I understand, I understand, how could I not understand?

"I know, I know, Luisa Adel is a notorious magical girl... She's disappeared, I don't know why she disappeared."

Sister Selena, blatantly lying that she "didn't know why she disappeared," then boarded Cong Yu's short-distance return train.

"Although we don't know why it disappeared, which is somewhat damaging to the Church's reputation, being carried off by a monster is a good thing for everyone."

Sister Selena's characterization of the matter was approved by Cong Yu.

"Okay... when is your birthday?"

As he said this, Cong Yu looked at the puzzled Selena and smiled, "I will send birthday wishes to those who have helped me..."

As she said this, Cong Yu waved her phone. "However, adding Linx or Twitter would be fine too, I owe you a favor."

"..." What?! A favor from the King of Wind City?!

Now she really didn't know who Luisa Adler was.

I don't recognize it; I've never heard of such a name before.

Chapter 478 Warcraft: Slander! This is slander!

A little flustered, Xiao Cui heard Lantian Zhu quietly slip into the tent. She pursed her lips and turned over.

I don't know how to face Sister Blue Sky...

Then, Xiao Cui saw Yaochuan Guang lying there... In one corner of the tent, only Yaochuan Guang was lying.

"..."

"???" Xiao Cui was suddenly stunned, because the people lying there should have been Sister Yaochuan and Brother Cong Yu hugging each other...

I don't know when it started, but Brother Cong Yu disappeared.

However, Xiao Cui only sensed that Sister Blue Sky had left the tent.

At that time, Cong Yu should still be around...

Strange... when did it disappear?

Before Xiao Cui could figure this out, Lantian Zhu also discovered Cong Yu's disappearance and froze as she was about to lie down again.

While she secretly went out to teach that guy a lesson during the day, Cong Yu was there the whole time... Did she go to the bathroom?

Or have you noticed something's wrong?

The answer is... yes, Cong Yu sensed something was wrong tonight and made preparations in advance.

The reason for this realization is quite simple--

It's a sticker.

Because the post that came over last night only featured Yaochuan Guang, and not Xiao Cui and Lantian Zhu... Hmm, that's really not normal.

Without a doubt, this is enough to prove that the two of them are going to do something tonight.

However, Cong Yu also thought that Xiao Cui and Lantian Zhu were planning to join forces to teach Luisa Adel a lesson... but unexpectedly, the two of them hadn't agreed on anything.

What Cong Yu didn't expect was that Xiao Cui actually...

He then proceeded to kill her... Xiao Cui's murderous intent was indeed stronger than he had imagined.

But what else can we do?

Could you help me wipe my butt?

Cong Yu hurriedly took Selena over to check on Lantian Zhu and Xiao Cui's finishing work, exchanged contact information, and sent her back to work the night shift.

After a flurry of activity, he crawled back into the tent through the entrance, only to realize he still had to face Lantian Zhu and Xiao Cui, who were staring wide-eyed... He was exhausted.

Cong Yu was exhausted and speechless.

Can I go to sleep?

With this thought in mind, Cong Yu looked into the eyes of two pairs of eyes that emitted blue and green fluorescence, respectively, inside the tent.

They noticed the tension on Lantian Zhu and Xiao Cui's faces.

Nervous? Why should I be nervous?

Cong Yu blinked, while Xiao Cui pouted and tugged at Lantian Zhu's clothes, as if she was indicating something.

That means something like --

[Sister Blue Sky did it too] and so on.

Well, Cong Yu has personally witnessed Xiao Cui's skill in dividing the pot... It's about the same level as Nagashima Koki's, you could only say it's amazing.

Lantian Zhu, however, kept his head down in silence, then turned over and pretended to be asleep.

Cong Yu didn't quite understand... why the two of them looked so terrified, and why Xiao Cui had even used Lantian Zhu as a shield.

However, after a moment's thought, he instantly understood.

Did he suspect he'd noticed something amiss and gone outside to witness the crime scene? Oh no... now I'm a witness to the crime.

Haha, those two kids are so cute.

With this in mind, Cong Yu hugged Yaochuan Guang and fell into a deep sleep, without offering any explanation or trying to ease the tension between them.

This caused them to not sleep well all night.

Consider it punishment that Cong Yu still has to clean up their messes... after all, their hands and feet are really not clean enough.

Yes, the key issue isn't the murder itself, but rather the lack of cleanliness in the hands.

Those who frequently commit murder know that crimes of passion are absolutely unacceptable, especially when a conflict has just occurred during the day.

Secondly, Lantian Zhu was also gilding the lily...

The blood can stay where it is; it's not like Xiao Cui's blood is there. There's no need to go through the trouble of burning it...

Who doesn't know that you, Lantian Zhu, are playing with fire?

It's not that others can't use it, but this adds unnecessary suspicion, and even 1% more suspicion is bad...

They still haven't killed enough people.

"Wow! Another day full of energy!"

As Yaochuan Guang stretched and sighed, he woke up to another day in his tent on the vast grassland.

Then, when Yaochuan Guang turned to look at his companion...

"Wow?!"

Yaochuan Guang was startled.

Before her stood Lantian Zhu and Xiao Cui, both with noticeable dark circles under their eyes. She couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you two sleep well last night?"

"..." Lantian Zhu and Xiao Cui stood up in silence, looked at each other, and noticed that the other had quite obvious dark circles under his eyes.

It's not caused by physical factors, but by psychological factors...

Oh no, the news of that woman's disappearance will definitely spread today, and Yaochuan Guang / Yaochuan's sister will definitely suspect us.

"Um."

"No..."

Both harboring the same secret, they spoke at the same time, then glanced at each other and immediately changed their tune.

"Oh no..."

"Right."

"..."

"..." Yaochuan Guang: "???"

Yaochuan Guang, unsure whether the two had slept well or not, looked completely bewildered... What's going on with these two?

Finally, it was the clever and quick-witted Xiao Cui who spoke up as Lantian Zhu's mouth double, "Actually, I had a nightmare."

Oh, I see.

Yaochuan Guang expressed his understanding and looked at Lantian Zhu, who also had dark circles under his eyes—"And what about you, Little Lan?"

In response, Little Lan used the same reason to tell Yaochuan Guang, "I had a nightmare too."

Yaochuan Guang immediately became respectful, indicating that he fully understood. "I know, you're having the same nightmare."

Lantian Zhu quickly nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, yes..."

Then, seeing Xiao Cui's speechless expression, he quickly changed his story. "No, no, no, I had nightmares on the same day."

Okay, that's a good excuse...

Thinking this, Cong Yu burst out laughing almost immediately, which puzzled Yaochuan Guang: "Cong Yu- chan, what are you laughing at?"

Upon hearing Yaochuan Guang's words, Cong Yu immediately became serious, but still couldn't help but laugh, "I had a nightmare too."

What?!
