Neck and Neck in Strength! / Xiao Lan Compared to the Immortal Leader-

[Hmph, didn't you just tell me to get back here?]

Cong Yu was speechless at the complaint about the Extinction Formula: "That's because you're staying outside and don't want to come back... And! Can you change your voice?"

Using Hatsune Miku's voice to "hum" is really distracting!

[Snort--]

"Hmph, you're kidding me! Be normal!"

[Oh]

Hearing Source Darkness's obedient voice, Xian Kui's expression became even more puzzled. Unable to hear Source Darkness's voice, she asked, "Cong Yu, what are you talking to?"

Regarding Xian Kui's question...

"My Extinction Formula."

Cong Yu answered in this way, and then, under the stunned and astonished gaze of Xian Kui, he simply said, "This is my second plan."

"I'll try to teach you the Extinction Formula."

Xian Kui: "!!!"

"Is this... something that can Church others?"

Xian Kui looked on incredulously.

Cong Yu wasn't entirely clear on this either. He shrugged and said, "My Extinction Formula was supposed to be able to exist with two hosts at the same time."

The premise is that the degree of fit is truly sufficient to transcend basic theory.

According to Source Darkness's own account, the compatibility between Xian Kui and Source Darkness Apophis has been confirmed to be extremely high.

[Ah, it's too late.]

Source Darkness Apophis spoke weakly.

[As I said before, you ruined a promising talent.]

"..." Ah? Ah, this...

Option B is invalid!

Chapter 728 Evenly Matched in Strength!

Congratulations, you've become a girl!

A handsome, long-haired man in casual clothes stood next to the woman in the white coat who was in charge of the surgery and spoke to the girl on the hospital bed.

The girl on the hospital bed stared wide-eyed at the woman before her, looking somewhat dazed.

After a long while, as she recovered from the anesthesia, she slowly asked, "I was originally a woman, wasn't I?"

Oh, that seems to be true.

The woman in the white coat, who was thinking this, coughed lightly. "To be more precise, congratulations on becoming a healthy person."

"..." The girl didn't speak again, but tilted her head, lost in thought. After a long while, she raised her head and asked again, "I won't die?"

The long-haired man's response was swift...

"Yes, you won't die, as long as you stay alive... then you can keep singing until you perish with the world."

Cong Yu... Yes, this is Cong Yu.

Cong Yu said this in a unique way, expressing the sentiment that "as long as you live, then you can live," in a very poetic way.

So much so that neither the leader of the 71st Group nor the girl noticed the flaw in his words.

Upon receiving this reply, the girl didn't know what expression to make, and could only respond, "Thank you."

Then, in another moment of silence...

The girl, whose terminal illness was successfully concealed by her identity as a "magical girl" and who had recovered, finally revealed a faint smile.

Then, feeling sleepy, she buried herself in the covers, closed her eyes, and fell asleep.

"The surgery was a success..."

As Cong Yu said this, he walked out of the operating room together with the leader of the 71st Group.

It has to be said that the architectural style here makes it look like a proper hospital... The Doctor' quarters look more like a laboratory.

The patient, lying on the Doctor's bed, didn't seem like a proper patient, but rather like a test subject or a small...

White rats.

As for 71st Group Cong Yu's words, the strange man dressed as a nurse or Doctor who passed by and greeted her nodded in acknowledgment, and then responded...

"Yes, the patient's mood and awareness really do determine the success rate of the surgery... It's so unreasonable."

The leader of 71st Group looked quite emotional, much like Doctor tormented by various irrational events.

Having never experienced Cong Yu brutal beatings of the magical girls around him, the leader of the Seventy-First Group sighed, "Having washed away all the superficiality... is that it?"

Yes, stripped of all artifice.

Those selected in the previous auditions were people whose bodies were completely ruined and who were slowly preparing to face their death.

They are children who have experienced the full spectrum of human emotions.

Those who shed their worldly desires with such enlightenment are almost destined to become magical girls.

Today's entire Transformation Ritual concluded successfully.

Of course, male volunteers were temporarily excluded.

After all, the Transformation Ritual currently possessed by the 71st Group can only guarantee the success rate of transforming women into magical girls.

For men...

It's fair to say that there's a reason why there have always been very few Magical Boy in this world.

"So, Cong Yu, you've come here to inspect the clinical trial results of the Transformation Ritual?"

The leader of the 71st Group spoke, pointing to a list written on a table at the entrance of the group's main gate.

Then, he casually put the pen on the table into his breast pocket, hanging it with the cap on.

"On one hand..."

Cong Yu replied, taking out his phone. "The Doctor asked me to pass on a message to you."

Saying something like, "The Imperial Army asked me to pass on a message to you," Cong Yu took out her phone and opened her chat history with the Doctor.

In response, the leader of the 71st Group turned his attention to Cong Yu's phone... which contained a conversation between the two.

[Doctor: Come to the company headquarters, pick up the documents, and hand them over to my former subordinate...]

[Cong Yu:?]

[Cong Yu: What information?]

[Doctor: Data Report on the Monster Transformation Surgery]

[Cong Yu: You're actually being so kind?]

[Doctor: Not out of kindness]

[Doctor: I simply had equal doubts about those guys' technical skills and academic level, so I felt it necessary to teach them a lesson.]

[Cong Yu: Haha, alright then]

[Doctor: Hmph, don't think I'm joking. In this regard, they're only fit to smell my exhaust fumes.]

[Doctor: Without my data, expanding the conversion surgery to include freaks might take several more years!]

[Cong Yu: Okay, okay, I'll go over now]

The chat history abruptly ended.

The leader of 71st Group watched helplessly as the Doctor belittled the entire Group 71 during their conversation.

This includes sections such as "only worthy of smelling exhaust fumes" and "questioning academic level."

If she were just an ordinary researcher, then it would be tolerable. But now that she's a leader, of course it is!!!

I tolerated it (i. e., answered).

"Haha, that's true."

The leader of the 71st Group immediately laughed, his words filled with high regard for the Doctor: "Chief Fran... Fran has always had this attitude."

"In her eyes, we will always just be ordinary researchers who work hard but lack talent."

Cong Yu was not surprised by what the 71st leader said.

After all, the Doctor's skill level is indeed very high, so high that it is not surprising that his former subordinates still maintain respect for him.

"The information is here."

As Cong Yu said this, she simply took out a large stack of thick printed papers from thin air and handed them to the other party.

Is this all?

Cong Yu really wanted to say something like, "These are just catalogs," in response to the 71st Group leader's words.

Unfortunately, the other person is probably not the type to show surprise, nor would they understand the memes formed by these fixed tropes in movies or comics.

Instead, they will quietly wait for Cong Yu to bring out all the information.

That would be too boring.

Therefore, Cong Yu decisively abandoned this idea and honestly answered, "Yes, that's all."

A truthful response!

From now on, please call Cong Yu" Honest Man"!

"Furthermore, I need to issue a warning— Moerae may very well be turning his attention this way and sending Angel to kill you."

As Cong Yu said this, he asked a very crucial and important question, "Your strength... how strong are you all?"

You could have just asked the leader, since the leader is usually the most eccentric and capable fighter.

However, the situation of the 71st Group is similar to that of the 22nd Group.

The group does not determine its status based on strength.

Although the leader of the 22nd Group was quite strong at the leadership level, he was still no match for the exceptionally capable officers under his command.

It can only be said that there are still some shortcomings.

(Doctor: Huh?)

Oh, except for Doctor. Doctor's fighting skills are worse than even the weakest monsters... probably at the ant level.

In more belligerent groups, let alone officers, even those who voluntarily join as lowly foot soldiers are likely to be sought after.

They were turned away.

(The belligerent group: You'd better find someone else!)

When asked about Cong Yu's question, the leader of the 71st Group hesitated, "Well... how should I put it?"

After a moment's hesitation, she explained in a more tactful way, "Our strength is about equal to that of the old chief!"

"..." That's incredibly weak!

Chapter 729 Comparing Little Lan to Xian Kui--

Ask a question--

Now, all over the world, people are eating hot pot and singing songs, living a fairly comfortable life.

But suddenly they discovered that there was an old bandit above them, and they could then send some rather capable junior bandits to rob them.

Moreover, it seems that recently, a bandit named Moerae has been targeting a group of villagers who are truly defenseless.

These villagers can't even tie up chickens; they can leap up and give wild fish a few tail kicks before jumping back into the water.

What should we do in this situation?

"Initially, we thought it would be good to find them some bodyguards, but after thinking about it, we couldn't find any suitable candidates."

As Cong Yu spoke, discussing the 71st Group with Xian Kui, she said, "Even asking them to move out won't work."
