The Engraved Poison

After all, we can gauge the other party's thoughts.

Even if the plan is exposed, these children can be easily manipulated.

Therefore, the other party is either a magical girl or has accomplices...

The helper is... that black luxury sedan over there, ready to abduct someone.

Xiao Cui looked around quickly, assessing the situation, and then recalled the other party's casual remark about "Xianggu Town" earlier.

Was the other party the culprit behind the murder of the Nagashima family?

Even if they aren't, they are definitely in the know and want to gain some benefit from it... That's absolutely right.

Although it's unclear what benefits might be gained.

But without a doubt, the other party deserves to be featured.

"..." But you have to be quick.

Xiao Cui thought this through, quickly simulating the actions she needed to take in her mind... To avoid misunderstandings, she had to test the waters first.

"Xiao Xi, the situation is urgent. Riko has been arrested by the police and definitely won't be able to receive any messages. You..."

Before the magical girl could finish speaking, Xiao Cui blinked and walked up to her. "Sister, you..."

Similarly, before she could hear Xiao Cui finish speaking, a sharp and dangerous magical power instantly emanated from Xiao Cui and enveloped her directly.

"Wh... what?"

The magical girl reacted instantly, her body radiating a magical glow, but unfortunately... before the magic could fully form a shield...

Xiao Cui had already confirmed that the other party was a magical girl.

[Salamander's Thread]

--

"Sizzle--"

Unlike ordinary Salamander's Thread, the emerald green electric threads were instantly used by Xiao Cui as a whip and lashed out.

Then, before the opponent's shield could form, their neck was severed... Thank you for choosing this location.

Perhaps because they intended to abduct the victims, few people on the street witnessed them.

"You..."

Before the magical girl could finish speaking before losing consciousness, Xiao Cui casually flicked her wrist, instantly damaging the tires of a nearby vehicle.

Then, amidst the man inside shouting, "[I was coerced!]", Xiao Cui's lips twitched... She had initially worried that she might have made a mistake.

Now it seems I had no misunderstanding.

Moreover, these guys, as kidnappers, really lack any professionalism or competence.

As Xiao Cui pondered how to carry out the kidnapping, she summoned a Little Sprite to knock the other party unconscious.

The Little Sprite's spear hurts a lot when it pokes you, and it hits with considerable force.

What? You're saying that hitting someone on the back of the neck can't knock them out?

It's possible, but the Little Sprite don't know how... so you have to hit the other person's head hard until they pass out.

The concussion was entirely the other party's own fault.

"..."

"Solved... This guy seems to be an ordinary person."

As Xiao Cui spoke, she maintained the activation of the technique, her eyes sweeping over the two people who had been dealt with within three seconds.

It was incredibly smooth, and the strikes were extremely forceful.

She doesn't resemble a new-era magical girl/loli version who promotes truth, goodness, and beauty at all; instead, she seems a bit odd.

However, Xiao Xi and the Doctor present obviously wouldn't comment on it.

"Phew, that was terrifying! Thank goodness you're so good, Xiao Cui."

With that, Nagashima Koki patted her chest, nodded, and made up her mind. "It's decided. From now on, besides hunting down awful parents, I'll also hunt down murder traffickers... I'll kill them one by one."

That's terrifying!

At that moment, the Doctor had already pinched the unknown magical girl with one hand.

The eldest sister's neck provided her with a brain that was barely enough to sustain her life.

Xiao Cui doesn't have this skill, so she can only rely on the Doctor.

"Xiao Cui, you did a great job."

As the Doctor said this, he watched as Xiao Cui, who had shoved the man into the car and then led them into the car, began texting Cong Yu.

Although the Doctor could understand that she wanted to use the vehicle to block the view of passersby and prevent them from seeing the man with a bloody head and the unknown magical girl with only a small part of her brain... she hadn't thought of this at first.

It was basically Xiao Cui who took the lead.

Moreover, after Xiao Cui entered the vehicle, she immediately instructed the Little Sprite to destroy the walkie-talkie inside the car and to start searching the car for any possible eavesdropping devices or similar items.

Very skilled.

"You did an exceptionally good job, it doesn't seem like this is your first time doing something like this... You're practically a born criminal mastermind."

Xiao Cui chuckled at the Doctor's words, while Nagashima Koki stood with her hands on her hips and said, "What crime? We're doing this for the people, okay?"

"Besides, Xiao Cui and I are minors... We were still elementary school students just a few days ago, and there's a law protecting elementary school students!"

That makes so much sense; the Doctor couldn't refute it.

Xiao Cui, on the other hand, found the name somewhat familiar...

Apply what you've learned!?

Chapter 523 The Poison of Inscription

Throughout history, there seems to have always been a strange phenomenon among humankind. "If I can't control foreigners, can't I control you?"

This is clearly not limited to humans.

In fact, the same applies to Cong Yu's "Hydra" poison. This altered mark engraved deep in the hearts of others also requires different treatment.

Controlling magical girls and monsters isn't impossible, but you'd have to beat them to the point of near death and unconsciousness to control them... Of course, if the opponent is strong, the duration of this lasting mark will be extended.

Only in this way can the implantation of the Hydra Brand be completed.

However, if the subject is a human being, then the situation is completely different.

Cong Yu's touch planted a mark, thus "becoming friends," which, for mortals... only takes a few seconds.

This is a poison etched into the soul.

"Yes, I was summoned by the market research department manager to kidnap Nagashima Koki, and they demanded my cooperation in the operation."

"Our company discovered that both Nagashima Kakyu, a product consultant at Chido Entertainment, and his uncle can see through the connection between magical girls and their true identities."

"I've heard that the Japan the Nagashima family in Japan, who conducted the investigation, possess this talent known as the Identification Eye '."

"..." The man with a large bump on his head, which seemed to be swollen, answered Cong Yu's question honestly.

After all, Cong Yu is a friend, so it's reasonable for him to answer all questions.

Meanwhile, in the Doctor's office, a number of people had gathered... Xiao Cui, Xiao Xi, the Doctor, and Cong Yu, of course, need no further introduction.

There's also a man who's a prisoner and a magical girl who's been controlled.

Furthermore, what's most striking is Biji's complex expression as she observes... The Mermaid Monster feels this situation is very familiar.

Because she had witnessed a similar scene before.

Haha, isn't that me?!

Although she had mixed feelings, the Mermaid Monster was still happy to continue watching the excitement... She already understood the general situation.

It seems like this man's company deliberately caused chaos in Nagashima Koki's father's hometown, then pretended to be a good guy, trying to recruit people with special abilities from the Nagashima family... It just feels a bit idiotic.

The Mermaid Monster pondered, "This behavior is completely unnecessary... Why go through all this trouble when we can just recruit them?"

Clearly, Cong Yu, who was deep in thought, shared the same question as the Doctor.

To be honest, Cong Yu didn't really understand the other company's thought process.

With this in mind, Cong Yu continued to ask the man about the situation, "So, was there any real need to set fire to the Nagashima family?"

The man replied quite normally, "I heard that because the Nagashima family didn't cooperate... they were all killed."

"Without joining the company, the fewer people with such special abilities, the better... Although the manager wasn't sure if the Nagashima family was truly uncooperative, they still killed those ordinary people."

"They're just ordinary people anyway."

"..." Xiao Cui's lips twitched at the other person's words, her eyes flashing with shock... How could there be such an evil magical girl in the world?

Although Xiao Cui was surprised, and Nagashima Koki frowned, Cong Yu and the others didn't say anything.

After all, this is already a common occurrence.

One could even say that if magical girls merely believe they are superior to ordinary people... that's a fairly normal mindset.

On an even more extreme level, some magical girls and monsters believe that humans are inferior species and should all be killed...

Of course, it's not feasible to compete in who's worse off, and those guys have already been mostly killed off; let's just hope they don't rise from the ashes.

What's your company called?

Cong Yu asked, resting his chin on his hand as he looked at Nagashima Koki... It seemed that Nagashima Koki cared a lot about her mother's safety.

In that case, bring

It would be good to send her to check on Nagashima Riko's situation.

"Vistan Entertainment Group Co., Ltd.."

Upon hearing the name, Cong Yu paused for a moment, then exclaimed, "Wow, he's quite famous... Isn't Wystan, who starred in the Lord of the Rings?"

As the man nodded, Cong Yu nodded in response, indicating to him, "Go out and contact your manager in the most normal way."

The main thing is to find a way to dispel the other party's suspicions... After all, according to Xiao Cui, this man had previously shouted out, "[I was coerced!]"

"Understood. So, I'll say this: Shadi was planning to forcibly kidnap someone, but the police discovered it and he's currently under investigation at the station. Basically, we can classify the situation as a 'joke'... that's what I'll say."

While explaining this to Cong Yu, the man, who retained his own mind, personality, and memories but had changed his stance, obediently walked out.

The Doctor's office was relatively quiet, so he planned to make the call on the street to avoid arousing the manager's suspicion.

"..." Cong Yu's purpose was naturally to have the man let her know he was safe, so that there wouldn't be any problems with Nagashima Riko.

The Mermaid Monster's expression became even more complicated... Before the Hydra Brand on her body expired, it was probably just as obedient.

However, for some people, their attitude alone can be described as fear.

"Waaaaah!!!"

The villainous magical girl, bound and gagged, was terrified after witnessing her colleague being controlled and forced to obey.

Even with her mouth gagged and a tube inserted into her heart to draw out magic, which weakened her, she still let out a terrified scream.

Perhaps it's a fear of being controlled in the same way...

However, she was clearly overthinking it.

"Don't be afraid. A magical girl of your level is much harder to control than a mortal... It will probably take several hours to knock her unconscious and then cast the spell."

Cong Yu reassured the other person, revealing a gentle expression, then looked at the Doctor: "Although it's not long, it's still too troublesome compared to others."

The Doctor roughly understood what Cong Yu meant by turning her head away.

Just like with Biji before... in short, it's up to me.

But this isn't a garbage dump. She already has plenty of useless experimental subjects... she doesn't need another one.
