Washed Clean of Worldly Glamour, Utterly Unconfused

She essentially ran errands for Cong Yu and Xiao Cui, buying them lunch.

"It seems the association offers pretty good benefits. It would be great if every person who comes to make a request could get a McDonald's's meal."

As Cong Yu said this, she took a hamburger out of the hamburger box and started eating it in the lobby of the American Magical Girl Association.

They completely ignored the signs hanging nearby that read "No Smoking," "Refined Drinking," "No Ice Skating," "No Eating," and "No Loud Talking."

Cong Yu reached out and grabbed the McDonald's Big McDonald's as she could, then took a big bite from it.

Then, mumbled the rest of his sentence: "Unfortunately, even the Monster King can't get a drink before he draws his blade."

As he said this, Cong Yu took a loud sip of his cola, which could be interpreted as an implication... or even a blatant mockery.

"..."

"Haha, that's how the association is... But everything will change once I become the association's president."

In response to Cong Yu 'Cong Yu words, the magical girl beside her said this, her eyes revealing the ambition that clearly belonged to an "old man".

But Cong Yu has never disliked ambition.

Although this AMA vice president is the kind of person who will stop at nothing to achieve his ambitions... at least he's someone who can assess the situation.

It was after the explosion at that company that he proactively approached Cong Yu, asking to be her guide, and he arranged this act of betrayal.

Of course, only a few people were assigned, and that was enough...

Just like pigeons, the direction a flock of pigeons takes is always determined by the lead pigeon flying at the very front.

Therefore, as long as you shout something in the crowd, and one or two people respond, you will have a "one call, a hundred responses" situation.

Just as if everyone were truly of one mind.

"Whatever you say, it's just a casual collaboration anyway... This solution is quite convenient, and I'm fairly satisfied."

As she said this, Cong Yu stuffed an egg tart into her mouth, chewing it with her cheeks puffed out, while keeping an eye on the commotion upstairs.

Xiao Cui's safety is probably still guaranteed.

After all, the sound of the massive number of Little Sprite flapping their wings was deafening, even on the ground floor.

Not only Cong Yu, but the [Vice President of the Association] next to him could also hear it... It was quite terrifying.

Xiao Cui's Little Sprite Summoning Art is a rare sight, the kind of spell that seems outrageously exaggerated.

No matter how many Little Sprite were present, they did not become a burden for Xiao Cui.

The intelligent Little Sprite can simultaneously be Xiao Cui's "eyes," "mouth," "ears," "hands," and even spells.

The Little Sprite can be seen as an extension of Xiao Cui's will, and this tentacle will gradually spread... If left unchecked, it might even spread to the whole world.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Hearing the constant commotion upstairs, the magical girl sitting next to Cong Yu quietly spoke up, "That... is it Extinction Formula?"

"..." Then, before Cong Yu could ramble on about anything, the magical girl continued, "I really can't be sure."

"Logically speaking, Extinction Formula are not so easy to identify... Before the host dies, it is impossible to determine whether the spell will continue indefinitely."

"However, there are still some plausible hypotheses."

As she said this, the magical girl glanced at the "No Smoking" sign on a nearby pillar.

He pursed his lips and then pulled out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket.

As he lit one up, he lightly flicked the cigarette case, flicked out half a cigarette, and then offered it to Cong Yu.

Then, after Cong Yu shook his head, he took out a lighter from his pocket.

However, this caught Cong Yu's attention, and he quietly spoke up, "My shaking my head wasn't just to say 'I don't smoke'."

"..." The magical girl obediently took the cigarette out of her mouth and put it back in the cigarette case. "Sorry..."

Asia really do talk... can't they just speak more clearly?

With this complaint in mind, she took a deep breath and looked at the Little Sprite watching her with curious eyes. "It has its own thoughts and intelligence."

"These Little Sprite can even cast spells themselves, and they have predictable reproduction plans... Whether or not it's truly Extinction Formula, I think it qualifies as 'a possibility of extinction' for this world."

"Of course, I personally don't care much. After all, I might not even live to see the day the extinction event begins. I just wanted to let you know."

"..." Cong Yu didn't say anything more about the magical girl's words, only offering her own opinion. "While these are indeed commonalities among Extinction Formula..."

"But Extinction Formula is something that requires effort to stop once it's used, but Xiao Cui can easily undo it."

After all, you can remove the Little Sprite if you want to.

This is also why Cong Yu has always felt that the matter wasn't too serious.

"Oh, I see... I don't really understand either, since I've never actually seen what Extinction Formula looks like."

As she said this, the magical girl looked at the flying Little Sprite, which didn't seem to have much difference between them.

Cong Yu also looked over, recalling what Xiao Cui had said about going to the Fairyland in her dream...

Spores, mycelium.

Yes, the factory.

In video games, there exists a unit called "Tank Factory," which is also a unit, but it's a building unit.

However, if we consider this as a surgical procedure...

So, is the Extinction Formula the chariot itself? Or the process of driving the chariot out? Or... the factory itself?

Chapter 554 Stripped of all pretense, utterly free of confusion

"No, don't kill me!"

The president of AMA (American Magical Girl Association) retreated in fear... It's worth noting that he was a man.

Although it's the Magical Girls Association, he's a man.

At the very least, the biological sex is male.

"No! Don't come any closer!!!"

As he said this, he sat on the ground, moving around using his buttocks and hands, his face filled with terror as he faced the countless blood-dripping Little Sprite formations.

Of course, there's also Xiao Cui, covered in blood...

"..."

"Huff... huff..."

Xiao Cui was breathing softly... She had fought her way up from the bottom of the building and was a little tired.

It is estimated that several hundred magical girls perished at her hands.

This number may not be that impressive...

However, this is not the case.

One hundred people, not "one hundred people", but one person plus one person plus one person plus one person plus one person...

This accumulation continues continuously.

This process was repeated a hundred times to reach a total of one hundred people.

Xiao Cui's count accumulated to several hundred... This was an outrageous number, symbolizing that she had completed a purge.

A purge of "Shark X".

However, Xiao Cui did realize one thing...

Brother Cong Yu and Uncle Hei, as expected of people with a lot of life experience... they are absolutely right.

If you kill too many people, you won't become a serial killer.

Or to put it less ambiguously, to be more precise... after killing too many people, she no longer derives pleasure from the act of killing.

Because a fact had come to her mind.

Xiao Cui, who has some degree of "anti-stupidity syndrome" and "dislike (hate of evil) syndrome," realizes that... there are a lot of idiots in this world.

There are too many, an overwhelming amount.

So much so that the guys she killed were just a drop in the ocean compared to the scale of the "world".

No matter how many people you kill, there won't be any fewer...

Therefore, the pleasure of eliminating idiots is greatly reduced.

Hmm... maybe we should come up with a plan that can purify the whole world. But doing that feels a bit like being a villain in a movie.

So, it's probably best to just stay in one corner of the world.

Wind City is a really nice place...

With this thought in mind, Xiao Cui suddenly remembered that every time Cong Yu returned from a long trip, he would always kiss Yaochuan.

Perhaps Cong Yu's brother feels similarly weary to me.

The nasty bastards outside seem endless no matter how many you kill.

Whether in United States, Europe, or even Central City, there seem to be some bad guys... All things considered, Wind City is still the best.

At this point, Xiao Cui, who had been laughing and chuckling about Cong Yu Wind City, finally began to have similar thoughts.

Brother Cong Yu also likes Wind City, and so Wind City Xiao Cui.

So they're rivals in love (not really).

"I'm sorry, but you have to die here. You may not be a particularly despicable person, but you've already placed yourself against us..."

As Xiao Cui was saying this, a magical girl behind her leaned over and whispered something in Xiao Cui's ear.

After a moment of silence, Xiao Cui nodded and changed her words, saying, "Then it's alright. You're a despicable bastard, die!"

As she said this, Xiao Cui's hand reached out to strike.

"Wait! Wait a minute! I have something to say, something very important... You'll regret it if you don't listen!"

The man's scream made Xiao Cui hesitate for a moment, then she waited to hear what he would say next...

"Huff... Waaah, no..."

The male guild leader, however, was filled with fear as he stared at the countless Little Sprite wielding spears that gleamed with a cold light.

His legs began to tremble, his teeth chattered, and his eyes flashed with a thoughtful light.

Does this guy really have something to say?

Xiao Cui couldn't help but wonder... was it just acting? Acting to survive?

"I... I'm very rich."

In the end, the man could only utter the same three phrases again. "If you don't kill me, I can give you a lot of money."

Is this what he meant by "important"?

Xiao Cui was somewhat disappointed.

"I... I... I..."

The man could see Xiao Cui's disappointment, and he shouted anxiously, "I know so much more... so much dirt on others!"

"Whether it's the president's or anyone else's, we're all checking and balancing each other. Think about it... is it possible that your actions are being guided by them?"

"Because my death will benefit them!"

"On the contrary, once you know these things, you can control United States, absolutely, definitely!"

"... Is that so? That's quite interesting."

"..." Xiao Cui pondered for a moment, while Cong Yu stood behind her unhurriedly, ready to see what Xiao Cui would do with great interest.

"Well, no... we weren't guided because they probably haven't yet 'induced' our confidence."

Xiao Cui made this judgment, shaking her head. "Whether it's dirt on someone or not, it doesn't matter... As long as you have the confidence to take them down anytime, anywhere, you don't need to add any dirt on yourself called 'having dirt on others'."

As she said this, seeing Cong Yu's satisfied expression, Xiao Cui pointed a finger at the sweat-drenched man. "Do you have any last words? Like, what do you want written on your epitaph?!"

No, I'm really going to die, but...

"I... I have money! I have money!!!"

"..."
