The Mindless Magical Girl? I Picked Her Up and Remade Her!

"If you complete this mission, I'll pretend that incident where you two let Meng Yue go never happened."

Before the Boar Monster could speak, Bai Yu added, "You go help too. If you two fight for your lives together, you might even have a chance to turn the tables!"

"Understood!"

Hearing that, the Boar Monster immediately nodded and charged out with huge strides!

"Looks like the magical girls really want to save you!"

Looking at the man on the ground, Bai Yu said with a smile, "I've suddenly changed my mind. Since they want to save you so badly, I'll let you live! Remember to thank them properly when the time comes!"

"Ah! Ah!"

Though Bai Yu said he'd let him live, a terrible feeling rose in the man's heart! In his eyes, Bai Yu was no different from a demon. How could a demon like that possibly let him off so easily?

"Don't think I'm not good at direct combat. I'm actually quite accomplished when it comes to magic arrays."

Crouching down, Bai Yu softly told the man, "It's not impossible to spare your life, but I'll plant a special magic array inside your body."

As he spoke, Bai Yu raised a finger... countless black curse runes spilled from his fingertip, slowly gathering into a circular magic array in the air.

"Let me tell you what this magic array does."

Facing the terrified man on the ground, Bai Yu said, "First, from now on, everything below your neck will be unable to move."

"Ah! Ah! Ah!!"

The moment Bai Yu finished saying that, the man let out a miserable scream! Unable to move below the neck... wasn't that paralysis? Wouldn't that make his life worse than death from now on?!

"Don't rush, I'm not done yet!"

Apparently pleased by the man's reaction, Bai Yu continued with a smile, "Then, I've recorded the pain you've suffered today. From now on, you'll spend half of every day experiencing that pain! The other half will let you catch your breath, so you don't mentally collapse and die. I'm really kind, hahaha!"

"Lastly... this magic array will provide the minimum energy your body needs, for about a year! And if you accidentally get hurt, the magic array will heal your wounds on the spot. Convenient, right?"

The magic array in the air finally finished forming. Bai Yu didn't even need to look to know what the man was feeling right now! Smiling, he pressed the magic array into the man's back—

"With this, whether you want to starve yourself to death or find someone to kill you, it won't work. Please live well for the next year!"

As the magic array took effect and the man's injuries gradually began healing, Bai Yu smiled and asked, "How do you feel now? Care to tell me?"

"I ￥&@#%￥@&&---"

The moment his tongue grew back, the man launched into an extremely emotional torrent of words! Bai Yu clapped his hands and said, "Well said! And don't forget to properly thank the magical girls who came in to save you! If they hadn't come to save you, I wouldn't have thought of letting you live!"

"I thank you %￥#*&&! I @#￥%@--"

Bai Yu stepped onto a teleportation magic array and vanished from the spot. He planned to renew it for another year if the man was still alive a year from now!

"Alright, everyone retreat!"

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"

Watching the White Horse Monster, the Boar Monster, and a large group of monster soldiers vanish from sight, Xinghua lowered her bow with a pained expression. "They were just about to die! Don't we have any magic that can seal space? Are we unable to stop them every time they use teleportation magic to escape?"

"It isn't that there are no magical girls with that ability."

At that moment, a white plush doll floated beside Xinghua. This time, the contract spirit Papi had actually come to the battlefield in person. During the battle, it kept questioning the White Horse Monster and Boar Monster about Meng Yue's whereabouts!

Its clear, childlike voice seemed to have the power to ensnare souls, causing the White Horse Monster to repeatedly lose focus during the battle. It couldn't help revealing the crucial information that Meng Yue was currently inside the Monster Organization.

Magical Girls' Value

Upon learning that Meng Yue had truly been captured by the Monster Organization, Papi couldn't help feeling frustrated. It had originally clung to the faint hope that Meng Yue was still pursuing the monster leader, but the White Horse Monster's words forced it to accept reality...

Compared to the other magical girls, Papi liked Meng Yue the most! Both she and Crimson Blade possessed a heartfelt sense of duty to save the world. Such righteous and pure emotions were the easiest to exploit!

No matter how much it ordered them around, they wouldn't complain. It could even make efficient use of the money they earned from working. Xinghua, however, was different. She had been tricked into becoming a magical girl from the start, and Papi could only threaten her with an important secret. When someone was motivated by threats, there was no point expecting her to risk her life at a crucial moment!

The other magical girls all had their own issues too... Papi actually liked Crimson Blade's personality quite a bit, because her sense of justice was even purer than Meng Yue's. Papi absolutely adored that naive belief that she could change the current situation as long as she worked hard enough!

Unfortunately, Crimson Blade was simply too weak, which was why Papi had no choice but to threaten Xinghua. Yet although Xinghua had displayed combat strength no weaker than Meng Yue's, her results still fell short of Meng Yue's!

Meng Yue's Purification Magic was basically wide-area destruction, capable of making opponents vanish before they could be teleported away! Xinghua's method of attack, however, was archery. Even though her arrows could always hit their targets, it was difficult for them to instantly kill enemies, still giving them time to teleport away...

In other words, even if Xinghua could defeat an opponent, she lacked the ability to keep them from escaping. She was far inferior to Meng Yue in that regard. If Meng Yue had still been here today, the White Horse Monster definitely wouldn't have gotten away!

Thinking of this, Papi sighed helplessly. After leaving behind the words, "You should go save the people first," it turned into white light and vanished into the air.

"Lord Papi! Sister Meng Yue, she—"

Crimson Blade wanted to ask for more details. Her relationship with Meng Yue could be said to be extremely close! Naturally, she was worried after hearing Meng Yue had been captured. After all, the two of them were kindred spirits immersed in their ideals...

Unfortunately, Papi had no intention of responding to her at all and simply disappeared. In its heart, there was no way Xinghua and Crimson Blade could be relied on to rescue Meng Yue. It had to seek other outside help.

"Big sister, what do we do?!"

Watching Papi disappear just like that, Crimson Blade anxiously stomped her feet! Xinghua, meanwhile, revealed a complicated look. Patting Crimson Blade's shoulder, she said, "Don't worry too much. That horse just said Meng Yue is still in the Monster Organization, which means her life should be safe... She's probably only being held captive."

But come to think of it, even Meng Yue had been no match for that monster leader? When it came to dealing with monsters and magical beasts, Meng Yue was unquestionably the strongest magical girl!

While comforting Crimson Blade, Xinghua secretly calculated, What kind of person is this? Could I use him against Papi?

Out in public, the two magical girls couldn't just keep standing there. So after Xinghua quickly comforted Crimson Blade, the two soon found the entrance to a nearby dungeon. Before they could head down, however, they heard waves of indescribable curses!

"You %&￥#@! What magical girls?! You're nothing but birds of a feather with those monsters! Who knows if you're even human, you pieces of trash! Why didn't you just stay away?! Would I have ended up like this if you hadn't dragged your feet?!"

Xinghua and Crimson Blade's expressions changed at once. Still, after biting her lip, Crimson Blade immediately rushed down into the dungeon. Xinghua didn't even need to look to know... Crimson Blade probably believed the man hadn't been wrong to curse them!

"I'm sorry! It's all because I didn't come save you in time—"

Rushing into the dungeon, Crimson Blade was just about to offer her deep apology! In her heart, she believed that if they had worked harder and defeated the monsters immediately, the poor victims wouldn't have had to suffer torture in this dungeon for so long!

However, when she entered the dungeon, she discovered that all thirty children were clean, neatly dressed, and happily sitting on a carpet eating food, as if they were out on a spring picnic!

"Huh??"

Seeing the sight before her, Crimson Blade froze! She had thought that since the vicious Monster Organization had tortured two middle school students to death last time, they definitely wouldn't spare these children either! Yet none of the children looked like they had been tortured at all.

"Sister Crimson Blade!"

"It's Sister Crimson Blade!"

The children grew excited upon seeing the magical girl. They all rushed forward and asked, "Sister Crimson Blade, can you give me an autograph?"

"Sister Crimson Blade, where's Sister Meng Yue? Why isn't she here?"

"Yeah! I want Sister Meng Yue's autograph!"

Looking at the energetic children, Crimson Blade crouched down and gently asked, "Are you alright? Did those monsters do anything scary to you?"

"No!"

"Not at all! That big brother with horns on his head not only saved us, he even gave us tasty food!"

"That bad uncle inside cut off my left hand, but now it's grown back! We have to thank that big brother!"

Huh??? What... was going on?

"Don't you watch the news?"

Xinghua walked over and said flatly, "A human trafficking organization has appeared in Starry Sky City recently. This was probably a human traffickers' den, and these children were kidnapped by them."

"Don't slander me!"

Hearing that, the middle-aged man inside roared, "The Monster Organization captured them all! I'm just a victim! It was bad enough that you two came so late, and now you dare slander me here! I &*---"

"Shut up."

Xinghua mercilessly cut him off. Walking over leisurely, she said, "Do you think you can deny something like this? Once we hand you over to the Knights' Order and have them investigate, won't the truth come out?"

"Hmph! You think—"

Upon hearing the words Knights' Order, the middle-aged man was about to sneer... when the sensation of his little finger being snapped struck him again!

"Ahhh!!!"

The man immediately writhed his neck in agony! He looked as though he desperately wanted to roll around on the floor, but unfortunately, his body couldn't move at all...

"Let me die! Kill me now!! Please, give me a quick death!"

The man hadn't expected to feel the pain of a broken finger again after barely getting a moment of relief. His face immediately twisted in agony! Yet his extreme suffering made Crimson Blade reveal an expression of pity...

"Big sister, what's wrong with him? Did the Monster Organization do something to him?"

"I don't know about that."

Watching the man's pained appearance, Xinghua curled her lips slightly. "Anyway, our mission was only to rescue him. We don't need to concern ourselves with anything else, right?"

Can You Earn Points by Beating Magical Girls?

"But no matter what, this still counts as harm monsters inflicted on a human!"

Crimson Blade said, "As a magical girl, I can't just leave him like this—"

"Alright, alright! If we don't leave now, the reporters will be here!"

Impatiently grabbing Crimson Blade's hand, Xinghua said helplessly, "Besides, what can you do other than swing a sword? You can't do anything except physically send him to the afterlife. This is something Papi should handle, not us!"

With that, Xinghua ignored Crimson Blade's reaction and forcibly teleported them away together, leaving behind only the children who hadn't yet processed what had happened and the still-screaming man...

Afterward, ten people wearing special black armor and several reporters entered the dungeon together. When the leader of the black-armored group saw that all thirty children were lively and well, his footsteps halted... surprise appearing on the face hidden behind his helmet.

Then he looked at the middle-aged man inside, who was lying on the ground and screaming while twisting his neck, and waved at the people behind him. "Take him back and interrogate him thoroughly!"

"Yes, Captain!"

Two black-armored men immediately stepped forward and yanked the middle-aged man up. Then, after the leader swept his gaze over the children like a hunter eyeing prey, he finally left.

After that, the reporters followed procedure by interviewing the children and verifying their information to locate their families...

Watching the footage, Meng Yue revealed a relieved smile. She knew her master wouldn't harm innocent children, and it seemed he had even healed the children who had originally been disabled!

Even I can't do something like that... Judging by the outcome, Master, you're more like the righteous side than I am!

Meng Yue smiled, completely failing to notice that her way of thinking had changed. Before, even if she knew Bai Yu had done something good, it still wouldn't have changed her disgust toward the Monster Organization!

But now, her heart had softened. She no longer viewed the Monster Organization from the worst possible angle in every matter as she once had!

"Kete from Squad Two is really lucky! From that footage, it looks like he landed a hard punch on that magical girl!"

At that moment, the monsters beside her began talking again. A leopard-headed monster said, "It only hit her left shoulder, but according to the rating standards, that should still earn 500 points, right?"

"Come to think of it, Kete already has 4,600 points. As long as he reaches 5,000, he can be promoted to a cadre!"

"That counts as a promotion! Too bad he's still far from the 20,000 points needed for a senior cadre..."

"Be content! That's already a huge step forward! We've only saved up two or three thousand points... We're not even as good as him!"

Wait... you could earn points by beating magical girls?

Hearing that, Meng Yue involuntarily glanced at her own stomach. She actually had the subconscious thought of earning points by beating herself... It took her a moment of dazed silence before she vigorously shook her head, casting aside that unrealistic fantasy!

What nonsense am I thinking about?! I'm not a magical girl anymore!

But... just one punch to a magical girl's left shoulder could earn 500 points. If it were me...

Wait! I can't beat myself, but couldn't I beat Xinghua and Crimson Blade instead? Then I could earn points and become a senior cadre!

Yet the moment that thought arose, Meng Yue suddenly remembered that she could no longer transform! And even if she could transform... her purification magic was ineffective against humans. Her so-called strength only applied to monsters and magical beasts. If magical girls fought each other, she would absolutely be at the bottom!

"Speaking of which, that bastard Ling Li! She actually hid her strength..."

At that moment, Meng Yue recalled the scene she had just watched of Xinghua crushing the White Horse Monster! She immediately clenched her fists in anger. This woman clearly possessed such strength, yet in every previous battle, she'd performed worse than even Crimson Blade!

That slacker! If I'd known you were that strong, we could've taken shifts! I wouldn't have had to be the first one rushing to the scene every single time, day or night!!

Damn it! The next time I see you, I'll definitely start with you and earn a whole bunch of points from you!!

Unfortunately, although she had such thoughts, Meng Yue was powerless to act on them. Even if she could transform, Xinghua would definitely win in a fight between them... Was there no way to beat her?

Frowning, Meng Yue thought with a troubled face for a while... But the effects of Bai Yu's magic attack still remained. Whenever she tried to think about anything too complicated now, she found it difficult to concentrate...

Forget it! I'll leave complicated things like this to Master!

After thinking for so long without coming up with anything, Meng Yue simply gave up! Bai Yu had said he would train her into the strongest monster cadre, so he definitely had a way! Wouldn't it be enough to follow his plan?

No matter what, she had to give Xinghua a good beating! Ling Li... for the greater good, you'll have to make a little sacrifice! It was all for venting her anger... no, for gaining a high position in the organization and bringing down the Monster Organization from within!
