Maple Feather Dyed in Blood

"Um."

Xiao Cui nodded in response and said, "I've thought about it, and the more Little Sprite the better... because the way I summon Little Sprite has too many flaws."

Yes, there are such things as "flaws".

After freeing the Little Sprite and sending them back to their original world, Xiao Cui needs to expend magic again and spend some more time if she wants to summon them again.

However, if they encountered the enemy during this period, the situation would become very bad, so she chose another option.

This means keeping the Little Sprite in this world for a long time.

In any case, the Little Sprite created by Xiao Cui do not require any "maintenance fees" or housing to expand the population limit.

There will be no prompts such as "Our XX reserves are insufficient".

As long as Xiao Cui has enough patience to keep casting spells, and as long as the Little Sprite aren't killed and return to the Fairyland, their numbers will continue to grow.

"I want the Little Sprite to exist evenly throughout the world... Anyway, the Little Sprite don't need to eat, they can just do whatever they want."

As she spoke, Xiao Cui briefly explained her wicked plan, "By then, I'll have people I authorize who can summon over a hundred Little Sprite wherever they go... so we probably won't encounter any danger."

Before the plan to spread out the Pokémon is roughly completed, Xiao Cui will usually keep five or six Little Sprite with her at all times.

"..."Can you summon a hundred Little Sprite anytime?

You're unbeatable, Xiao Cui.

Cong Yu felt a pang of emotion, finding it hard to imagine that scene, and unsure whether Xiao Cui would still be able to function as a normal magical girl back then.

Or perhaps, at that time, Xiao Cui was already [lawless Cui].

But to be honest, Xiao Cui has never been a pure and innocent magical girl... Nagashima Koki is not a pure and innocent human loli either.

Although it's unclear who influenced whom, anyway...

The Loli Squad volunteered to join the hunt, even though Cong Yu didn't really think it was necessary.

"Yes, we're almost there."

Cong Yu said this, she glanced at Nagashima Hiro, whose eyes were vacant... He and Nagashima Koki were quite close.

He is the illegitimate child of Nagashima Riko's parents, that is, Nagashima Koki's cousin... roughly that generation.

"Xiao Cui, as you know, I am the King of Wind City."

Cong Yu had already spoken frankly without any hesitation, but for some reason... saying such things in front of Xiao Cui and the others still felt a little awkward.

It's like he's praising his own product.

Or rather, it gives the feeling of "putting on airs in front of relatives," or the sense of "addressing someone by their title."

However, Cong Yu temporarily set those feelings aside and simply asked Xiao Cui for her opinion.

"What I'm about to do is entirely from the perspective of the 'king,' and it's about carrying out a crackdown."

"This is a 'cleansing,' a cleansing of rebellions in foreign lands, calming the potential similar restlessness in those who know..."

Even so, are you still coming along?

Cong Yu's way of saying things that are difficult to understand sounds a bit like a riddle... If it were Sister Yaochuan here, she definitely wouldn't understand.

But Xiao Cui is different.

Xiao Cui completely understood the subtext of those words—perhaps this is the true value of Xiao Cui's intelligence.

The general idea is that the people Cong Yu wants to kill and the targets he wants to eliminate are not just the "culprits".

They will also wipe out their collaborators, killing them all.

This will serve as a deterrent, enabling a massive and far-reaching campaign to make an example of someone.

Does Xiao Cui mind?

Haha, not at all.

"Just what I wanted."

Xiao Cui answered, exchanging a glance with the beaming Nagashima Koki, and said, "Brother Cong Yu, actually, I killed a magical girl before... I don't know if you know that."

"..." Cong Yu didn't say anything about this, but just smiled at Xiao Cui, which was pretty much a tacit agreement.

"Okay, let's get off."

With that, Cong Yu grabbed Nagashima Hiro by the collar and disappeared directly from the exit of the Jormungandr Train.

Xiao Cui and Xiao Xi exchanged a glance and then passed through the exit.

Then, accompanied by the sensation of "passing through a membrane without a membrane," the two suddenly felt their feet sink into the void.

What followed was an intense feeling of weightlessness and falling...

The wind howled as it blew against them, making their skirts and collars rustle loudly.

In... in the air!!!

"Small!!!"

Before Xiao Cui could even call out to the Little Sprite, the quick-witted Little Sprite swooped down and grabbed Xiao Cui and Nagashima Koki.

The Little Sprite, flapping their wings, possessed immense strength disproportionate to their size. Working together, several of them easily grabbed the two already light-weight little girls.

It was flying in mid-air.

Hmm, maybe this is... a worm.

"Rumble, rumble..."

Then, with the sound of a train approaching, Cong Yu stood on the giant snake's head, stopping below the two of them.

"Come down, let's do it together..."

As he said this, Cong Yu unzipped his jacket, and instantly the hem of his jacket fluttered loudly in the strong wind.

Burn this place to ashes.

Chapter 550 Bloodstained Maple Feathers

The Giant Serpent, suddenly struck down from the sky, seemed to foreshadow the coming of the end times... and remained suspended in mid-air.

It resembles the Sword of Damocles from mythology, about to fall.

On the rooftop of the "AHM" company building, there is a Giant Serpent pointing straight down, poised to fall.

A terrifying aura of magic...

The shattered clouds, mixed with the sky's original azure color, created an eerie white hue.

Yes, white... the sky was a ghastly white.

Cong Yu didn't offer any explanation; she simply stood quietly on the other Giant Serpent in her transformed state.

This has attracted the attention of many people.

Countless United States began to talk with great interest about who the King of Wind City was going to kill this time... and they all raised their phones to start live-streaming and filming.

To be honest, it's a bit strange.

Even if Cong Yu said nothing, it doesn't necessarily mean she's on the side of justice this time; many people are still cheering for Cong Yu.

"Yay, King of Wind City!"

"Who are they going to kill this time?"

"Kill them all! Kill them all!"

"Run, AHM! Run! Hahaha!"

"Hurry up, King of King of Wind City, don't let them all escape!"

"..." The crowd grew larger and larger, and the cheers grew louder and louder... This was truly a bizarre situation.

Because I don't know if it's just my imagination...

It seems that Cong Yu has gained a group of fans whose race is "human" in this foreign land... brainless fans.

Because they are "crazy," "handsome," and "fashionable," they are idolized by these people who disregard good and evil.

This may prove that the phenomenon of "one's values following one's appearance" is sometimes not limited to the appearance itself.

After all, Cong Yu's transformed form as the King of Wind City doesn't have any facial features.

"As always, I will not kill the innocent."

At this moment, Cong Yu had no choice but to speak up, because he also had to explain his actions...

Although Cong Yu, given his status and confidence, had no need to explain himself, he still didn't want to be misunderstood as a despicable person who indiscriminately killed innocent people.

Because some of the scoundrels in this company are real beasts, Cong Yu doesn't want to be associated with them no matter what.

"To everyone at AHM (Academic Homo): If you are confident in your innocence, then come out..."

As she spoke, Cong Yu lightly raised her hand, her index finger pointing relaxedly and gracefully towards the sky. "But the perpetrators, the abusers, the informants..."

"You provoked me, hurt those I love, those who love me, and killed your own kind—human beings."

"As the Monster King, I love humanity and care about magical girls more than you do... You laughable fools, let me send you to Hell!"

For Cong Yu

The oath uttered at this moment, regardless of whether they were fans of Cong Yu or not, made everyone present feel a certain... aura.

Or perhaps it's more about style and charm...

Without any intention of verifying the facts or considering the possibility that "the King of Wind City is lying," they cheered even more enthusiastically.

While the cheers outside were deafening, the employees inside AHM Company stared at the Giant Serpent in the sky, utterly terrified.

Those who were quick had already escaped the company building, scrambling and crawling forward, escaping the range of the Giant Serpent in the sky.

Because they knew that with just a thought from the King of Wind City, a simple snap of his fingers, they would die a swift and clean death!

Cong Yu did not react to this.

In fact, Cong Yu had no intention of making any moves...

Just as he said... the fall of Axis (the Jormungandr Train) will continue until the innocent have run away.

Xiao Cui said she was going to test her Hundred Mechanisms Performance (Sprite Legion) to precisely kill those in the know, in conjunction with her cousin Xiao Xi's identification.

He's not just the mastermind anymore.

This time, even those who "knew" but didn't try to report it will be killed by Cong Yu and Xiao Cui... as a warning to others.

Therefore, at this moment, countless Little Sprite are standing guard on both sides of the street beneath the company building.

The streets, carpeted with the leaves of the red maple, resembled flames ablaze... It was quite beautiful.

And the Little Sprite stood like guards along the corridors of a king's palace, beside the beautiful United States red maple trees.

They remained motionless, watching the fleeing workers, having received no instructions from Xiao Cui.

Because these employees are not...

They were completely unaware.

But there's no doubt that some will escape; some people who know the truth will get away.

Even if this plan of "sowing discord to attract hatred, and then raiding the enemy's base" is indeed well-kept, someone will eventually escape... It's the instinct of human beings to survive.

"Yes, she is... I mean the woman with the blue tie."

Following the identification by Xiao Xi's cousin, Xiao Cui precisely targeted a woman matching the description. "Kill! Though I am young, my arrows are still sharp!"

Following Xiao Cui's command, the Little Sprite immediately prepared for battle!

"Chirp!"

"Twitter!"

In the ensuing exchange, the woman with the blue tie was instantly pierced through the throat by the sharp spears wielded by the Little Sprite that pierced her from eight directions.

"Hiss..."

"Croak! Cuckoo..."

With the sound of blood spurting out, the woman clutched her bruised neck, managing only a scream before collapsing to the ground.

The blood blisters on his neck were churning, and he couldn't make a sound.
