Jörmungandr-Mission Accomplished
Of course, the term "surgery" is a preferred choice for Doctor.
In general, because magic and magical runes are involved in the surgical process, it is more commonly referred to as a "ritual."
At this moment, the 71st Group has taken control of all the Transformation Ritual, whether for magical girls or monsters.
This can be considered a successful breakthrough in overcoming this crucial hurdle.
Although the modified creature's combat power is not negligible, it's better than nothing.
However, this applies to humans who are born with defects.
As long as one can obtain healthy, intact limbs and the ability to move like an ordinary human being, that is enough.
Becoming a "magical girl" or a "freak" undoubtedly helps them become normal people.
Even if their inner selves are no longer human.
"In China parlance, your merits must be overflowing by now... How does it feel to help others?"
Cong Yu asked this question.
The leader of the 71st Group glanced at Cong Yu, then at the miniature magical girl beside her.
Some little Little Sprite, carrying tiny spikes and wands, fluttered around the magical girl.
The elf looks somewhat familiar...
I feel like there have been quite a few sightings of these sprites lately, but because they're so cute, they've been assumed to be harmless little creatures.
"I can only say that I didn't have any particular feelings."
The leader of 71st Group answered, looking at the curious, bewildered magical girl. "Who is she?"
Cong Yu placed her hand on Xiao Cui's head and patted it, explaining, "This is Xiao Cui, who is practically a student of the Doctor. She's here to help deliver things."
This morning, Xiao Cui messaged him saying that the Doctor had given him some medication and asked him to give it to Cong Yu.
The Doctor was unaware that Cong Yu was no longer in Japan.
Xiao Cui didn't know that "the Doctor didn't know," so she assumed it was something important...
Because the Doctor didn't explain it very clearly, Xiao Cui figured it might be part of Cong Yu's brother's plan.
So he contacted Cong Yu on Linx.
Cong Yu took the Jormungandr Train home to pick up Xiao Cui, and also brought her to drink the snake grass water she had been longing for.
Upon hearing Cong Yu's introduction, the leader of the 71st Group looked Xiao Cui up and down—she was a lovely and beautiful child.
With her long, emerald-green hair and large, bright green eyes, she looks like she stepped out of a fairy tale... a perfect match for Little Sprite.
Thinking this, the leader of the 71st Group paused for a moment.
Not for any other reason, but because...
Green hair and green eyes, following the King of Wind City... I feel like I've heard of this person before from other circles?
So, is she Emerald Storm?
The leader of the 71st Group asked, clearly astonished, "A child who looks so young is actually the host of Extinction Formula?"
"..."Emerald Storm?
Cong Yu and Xiao Cui exchanged a puzzled look, then Xiao Cui, who did well in foreign language class, translated. "Emerald Storm... Huh?"
What's with this kind of cringeworthy nickname?
While Xiao Cui was pondering this question, the leader of the 71st Group suddenly thought of something and looked at the Little Sprite: "So, it seems..."
Are these little things the summoned creatures of the Extinction Formula?
It's similar to the Mongolia monster army... but it doesn't seem threatening or aggressive at all.
Isn't this kind of Extinction Formula rather weak?
With this question in mind, the leader of the 71st Group, with a hint of disdain, reached out and tried to poke the Little Sprite.
"Stamp--"
A rather impolite finger poked the face of the Little Sprite who had been cheerfully greeting them.
It sent the Little Sprite flying with a single poke.
Then, when the Little Sprite flew back angrily, the leader of the 71st Group poked it with his finger again.
"Poke, poke, flick, flick, flick--"
"..." Little Sprite (angrily): "Stab!"
"Pfft!"
With a small spear, a small cut was left on the finger of the 71st Group leader, who immediately let out a strange cry, "Quack! I was wrong! Don't stab me!"
It seems that she has a similar personality to the Doctor —she is afraid of pain and being beaten, and will beg for mercy without hesitation.
After all, their combat strength is too low.
"I thought the news had been blocked... but there's nothing we can do, people in some circles are still spreading it."
Cong Yu shrugged helplessly, and as he stretched out his hand, he watched the Little Sprite obediently rest in his palm.
As he played with the Little Sprite with his finger, he couldn't help but complain, "But Emerald Storm is so weird."
Whether it's chuunibyou or not is another matter, what's more worth complaining about is...
Why do other holders of the Extinction Formula not have nicknames, but only Xiao Cui has one?
Is it only those who possess modern Extinction Formula who can apply?
Amidst Cong Yu's internal monologue, the leader of the 71st Group shrugged helplessly. "I didn't name them; these nicknames were just spread by others... You actually have them too."
Amid Cong Yu's astonished and resistant expression, the leader of the 71st Group looked at Xiao Cui: "It's 'the Doctor,' right? What did she ask you to bring? Is it more information about the ceremony?"
This is a misunderstanding by the leader of the 71st Group.
"No, it's for Xian Kui and Sister Blue Sky."
Xiao Cui responded in this way, while Cong Yu explained the matter of "Sister Blue Sky" to the puzzled leader of Group 71.
"Simply put, both Xian Kui and the magical girl named Lantian Zhu are users of a spell called [Source Severance: Radiance]."
"This procedure places a continuous burden on the body and causes excruciating pain that is difficult to bear."
"Based on Lantian Zhu's previous case, the Doctor developed a medication that can provide pain relief and treatment without side effects."
As she spoke, Cong Yu pulled out several mineral water bottles filled with green liquid from her pocket... The labels on the bottles were still on.
It says "Fog City Mineral Water".
This is the most common bottled water in Japan...
"Mineral water bottle?"
The leader of 71st Group instantly revealed an expression of [subway, elderly, mobile phone].
When did our old leader become so down-to-earth?
"Yes, it was packaged in a mineral water bottle."
Cong Yu responded helplessly, shrugging, "When Xiao Cui and I saw it, our reactions were similar to yours."
"However, it wasn't just any container that was chosen; it's because this is only [Revival Potion 1.0], and its effects are rather limited."
"If it is to be used for extremely high levels of treatment, about 500 ml of the medicine needs to be drunk beforehand."
Although the leader of the 71st Group still found Cong Yu's explanation hard to accept, he noticed the 500ml label on the mineral water bottle.
She felt relieved...
As expected, Chief Fran is still so pragmatic... But speaking of which, Cong Yu and the old chief have a really good relationship.
Did they develop any "special" relationship?
The leader of the 71st Group thought this.

Doctor: @%#JPY%!%...

"Then we'll take our leave now. I'll have Xian Kui look after you and protect you from Moerae's attacks."
As Cong Yu spoke, he took Xiao Cui's hand and waved goodbye to the leader of the 71st Group.
The leader of the 71st Group nodded in gratitude...
In front of her was a bottle of "revival potion," placed on a shelf... meant for them to play with later.
Probably with the mindset of "let's see what the former leader is up to," they attempted to analyze and replicate this thing.
The Doctor probably won't have any objections.
(Doctor: I have no objection!)
Because the Doctor crashed... no, because the Doctor didn't seem to care how her creations were treated.
For the Doctor, all she enjoyed was the process of being presented with difficult problems and then solving them.
That is, the experiment itself.
Apart from that, Doctor have no hobbies!
(Doctor: Monsters can feel pain too!)
Cong Yu and Xiao Cui left the headquarters of the 71st Group and walked along the mountain path where marble was scattered.
Amidst the lush green trees, Little Sprite like Xiao Cui were playing and frolicking... some followed along, while others stopped at Xiao Cui's direction.
Well, it's more accurate to say "stationed" rather than "staying".
Xiao Cui has now developed a habit of "laying eggs" anywhere, spreading the fungal carpet wherever she goes.
After that, Xiao Cui might really be able to summon an army of Little Sprite anytime, anywhere with a simple wave of her arm.
Everyone's safety is guaranteed.
However, this practice of "paving" and "dyeing" now seems to have become...
This was for Xiao Cui's personal hobby.
While spreading plague... the Little Sprite, Xiao Cui, clutching the Xiao Cui of Cong Yu, asked, "Brother Cong Yu, are Angel easy to fight?"
In fact, Xiao Cui had faced the Angel directly.
Xiao Cui witnessed it firsthand: the Angel, carrying the attacks of the Little Sprite, used a few canes to shatter Yaochuan Chuan's Black Hollow Seven Bites Devouring Technique and escape.
Then he was headbutted by Dog King and sent flying, caught by Blue Sky Sister, who grabbed him by the neck and blew him half to death...
From Xiao Cui's perspective, the Angel didn't seem particularly powerful; they were just extremely underworldly in their methods... resorting to any means necessary.
Therefore, Xiao Cui wanted to hear what Cong Yu had to say.
From Cong Yu's personal perspective... if he were to fight the Angel himself, it would certainly be an easy victory.
It's simply a matter of whether or not you use "Source Darkness".
(Source Darkness Apophis: Use it more! Use it more!)
(Cong Yu: Shut up)
(Source Darkness Apophis: Oh)
However, if we consider the "average" and "median" values, the Angel are undoubtedly formidable opponents.
There are only a handful of people in the entire world who have reached or surpassed the most basic King Level.
Moerae, on the other hand, can be sent down one or two times from time to time.
"You're not someone who'll be easy to deal with."
As Cong Yu said this, he used his thoughts to simulate a giant praying mantis... no, not a praying mantis.
I simulated what would happen if Xiao Cui used her army of Little Sprite to clash with the Angel...
The answer has already been given.
