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

The Boar Monster waved its short, thick arm and ordered, "Don't kill a single one of them. They're precious sources of negative energy. Wait for the Leader to arrive before deciding what to do with them!"

Simply killing people wouldn't produce much negative energy. Only through inhumane torture could they squeeze the richest, most delectable negative energy from humans! The Leader had said so himself...

From that point on, the Monster Organization's methods shifted from indiscriminate attacks in the city to secretly torturing and assassinating specific groups of people.

"Again?"

Inside the rented apartment, Ling Li had been lounging on the sofa when she heard Papi's voice. She frowned. "The Monster Organization never acted this frequently before. Have they gotten this arrogant just because Sister Meng Yue isn't around?!"

Damn it... I was watching an important video!

Taking a white gemstone pendant from her body, Ling Li softly said, "Then... transform!"

"Transform!"

Meanwhile, Ling Nai ran to an unoccupied spot and pulled a tiny crimson katana from her pocket. Then she sharply drew the blade! Accompanied by a flash of red light, her figure, appearance, and clothing all changed. The petite girl became the tall, voluptuous magical girl—Crimson Blade.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The two magical girls teleported to a location on the outskirts. Looking at the apartment building ahead, already riddled with damage, Crimson Blade said painfully, "Looks like we were too late again—"

"Ahhh!!!"

Sure enough, before she could finish speaking, an incomparably shrill scream came from inside the building. Then an object was thrown directly down from above. A middle-aged man with broken limbs and a twisted face crashed onto the ground, muttering intermittently, "I only... cheated that old bastard out of some money... why should I die..."

"Damn monsters!!"

Since she had not heard what the man said, Crimson Blade simply believed these monsters were cruelly throwing innocent people from the building for amusement. The sight of them casually toying with humans filled her with rising fury!

Bang!

Then another person was thrown from the building, as though mocking Crimson Blade's helplessness. She immediately drew the katana from her waist and charged toward the apartment building—

"Watch your step!"

Just then, Xinghua suddenly shouted! Crimson Blade's heart jolted, and she instinctively looked down... A huge crocodile maw had appeared in front of her left foot, just barely short of biting down!

Huff!

Having missed its bite, the enormous crocodile mouth immediately sank back into the ground. Xinghua frowned. She remembered this was the Demon Crocodile Executive that Meng Yue had dealt with about a week ago.

The Demon Crocodile Executive could burrow through mud. Since it could turn any soil it touched into a paste-like slurry, it could move freely underground as though swimming.

In their previous battle, even Meng Yue had been unable to immediately defeat it due to its elusive fighting style. It had even grazed Meng Yue's left shoulder with a hidden weapon before being destroyed the next second... Yet despite dying, it had earned glory. The Demon Crocodile Executive had thus been promoted to the Monster Organization's third-ranked elite executive!

Feeling movement beneath her feet, Xinghua said to Crimson Blade, "You go on ahead. Leave this damned crocodile to me!"

Normally, I wouldn't care. I'm not interested in saving people or anything... But I was watching an important video this time! None of you are forgiven for interrupting my fun!

At that moment, Xinghua's magical power began to rise! In her eyes, both the monster before her and that damned Papi had to become her punching bags! She could not deal with Papi for now, so she could only vent on this crocodile first!

"What an arrogant tone!"

Along with a rough voice, a gaping bloody mouth appeared beneath Xinghua's feet! If she did not evade in time, both her legs would be bitten clean off by those crocodile jaws. Yet Xinghua ignored it completely, standing in place and allowing the crocodile to bite down—

Bang!!

A thunderous crash rang out as the sharp upper and lower teeth slammed together. The Crocodile Monster appeared to have bitten Xinghua... but in reality, she was like a projection at that moment, an intangible being that did not exist in this place. The Crocodile Monster's attack could not touch her at all!

So this was the Phasing Old Bai mentioned...

Seeing its attack miss, the Crocodile Monster finally witnessed firsthand the intelligence the White Horse Monster had provided. After failing to land a strike, it burrowed underground again. Yet it did not notice that Xinghua's gaze had actually penetrated the earth, tightly following it...

At the same time, Xinghua raised her left hand, and a golden longbow appeared in her grasp. With her other hand, she conjured a long silver arrow. Then she nocked the arrow and aimed its tip at the Crocodile Monster underground—

Die—Silver Star Arrow!

Pouring the magical power within her into the arrow, Xinghua released it. The arrow, trailing silver radiance, shot toward the Crocodile Monster beneath the ground—

Whoosh!

The silver arrow flew from her hand and sank into the soil. But just like Xinghua moments earlier, it was like a phantom, completely unhindered by the dirt as it continued toward the Crocodile Monster underground without slowing!

"What an absurd attack—"

The Crocodile Monster had no way to defend against this arrow! First, the arrow would pursue the enemy under Xinghua's control. Furthermore, until it struck its target, it would remain phantom-like and penetrate every obstacle in its path!

Therefore, Xinghua's Silver Star Arrow was guaranteed to hit and impossible to defend against. Even if the Crocodile Monster raised both hands to block it, it would be useless. The arrow would not become tangible before touching the target's vital point!

And at the instant the arrowhead overlapped with the Crocodile Monster's throat, it materialized! Its throat was pierced in an instant, and a great deal of black blood dyed the surrounding soil pitch-black.

"As expected, Sister is amazing when she gets serious!"

Sensing Xinghua's attack land, Crimson Blade could not help showing delight as she ran. Both Sister Meng Yue and her own sister were people she admired. Unlike weak little her, both were incredibly dependable magical girls...

Compared to them... why did I have a body that made it so hard to increase my magical power?? If not for this constitution, no matter how hard I worked, I wouldn't be unable to catch up to either of them!

For less than a second, a trace of negative emotion arose in Crimson Blade's heart. But with her naturally sunny disposition, she cast the thought aside the very next moment. Saving people was what mattered most right now!

However, just as Crimson Blade was about to rush into the apartment building, she suddenly sensed something strange! Purple threads swiftly wrapped around her wrists and ankles, pinning her in place and preventing her from taking another step!

"What is this?!"

Faced with magic she had never seen before, Crimson Blade instinctively struggled with all her strength! Yet the threads that had fallen from the sky bound her limbs tightly. Worse still, several more threads wrapped around her thighs, waist, and arms, leaving her entirely unable to control her body through willpower alone!

At the moment Crimson Blade was bound by the threads, somewhere in the city... a white stuffed doll suddenly opened its blood-red eyes. A pitch-black slit also opened where its mouth should have been, though it had previously lacked any mouth marking!

"This magical power... I can feel it!"

The split mouth curved into a chilling arc as Papi sneered. "You actually showed yourself outside. What a reckless decision, Monster Leader!"

The next moment, Papi's slightly crazed voice rang directly in Xinghua's mind!

"Fifth floor directly ahead! The Monster Leader has appeared! Shoot him immediately!"

What? The Monster Leader??

The instant she heard that, Xinghua also felt an indescribable surge of excitement! Of course, unlike Papi, she did not think this was a good opportunity to kill the Monster Leader. Rather, she wanted to make contact with him!

"But Papi, didn't we agree to get the Dark-Energy Converter's location from the Monster Leader?"

Xinghua spoke to Papi in her mind. "Isn't it unnecessary to shoot him right away—"

"Meng Yue had that naive mindset, and that's why her life and death are unknown now!"

Before Xinghua could finish, Papi roared in her mind. "It was my mistake before! I should never have let her leave survivors! I should have made Meng Yue kill the Monster Leader with everything she had the instant she saw him! Otherwise, we wouldn't have lost such a useful pawn—a magical girl!"

Was there any need to get that worked up? Usually, you look like an emotionless little bastard begging to be punched. Did the Monster Leader dig up your ancestors' graves or something? You get worked up the moment he comes up.

Though she thought that, Xinghua still decided to give the Monster Leader a shot first. She wanted to test his true strength... If he could not even block one of her arrows, then there was no way he could defeat that immortal monster, Papi!

"Sis, Sis—get out of the way!"

But just as Xinghua raised her bow, an anxious voice called out!

Huh?

Hearing her younger sister's panicked voice, Xinghua froze for a moment. She looked toward the sound... only to see her own sister charging at her with a katana raised!

Whoosh!

Caught off guard, Xinghua had no time to Phase and could only raise her golden bow horizontally to block the attack! Unfortunately, since she had not had time to gather magical power, her physically frail body was sent tumbling miserably to the ground, while the bow flew from her grasp after being struck!

Bang!

At that moment, the earth trembled as the Crocodile Monster burst from the soil! It opened its bloody maw and bit the flying golden bow cleanly in half!

Damn it... this is why I hate monsters!

Looking at the completely unharmed Crocodile Monster, Xinghua's head throbbed from the fall, and she could not help feeling frustrated! If she had been fighting a magical girl, shooting through their throat like that would definitely have ended the fight!

But monsters were different... As long as their Magic Core was not destroyed on the spot, they would not die! Some monsters with particularly powerful regeneration could even heal their wounds immediately. The crocodile before her was clearly much stronger than the White Horse Monster, who needed half a day to regenerate even a severed arm!

With that thought, Xinghua gritted her teeth and conjured another golden longbow. Her weapon was not a transformation device like Meng Yue's, but reconstructing it still consumed a great deal of magical power. In short, it would not do if her weapons kept getting destroyed.

"Don't undo your Phasing, Sis! The Monster Leader has taken control of my body!!"

Crimson Blade began slashing wildly at Xinghua. But Xinghua's body had once again entered a state that penetrated all attacks. The crimson blade passed through her like it was cutting an illusion, unable to hurt her at all.

You dared do this to Xiao Nai. No matter what, I'll give you a shot first!

Xinghua's gaze directly pierced through the wall, seeing the black-haired youth with demon horns on the fifth floor of the apartment building. Compared to the rumored Monster Leader—said to be vicious and monstrous, devouring people whole—his appearance was far too delicate. But he was the only person on the fifth floor... so it had to be him!

Xinghua nocked an arrow and aimed in the Monster Leader's direction. Even while attacking, she could keep her entire body in a Phased state, and the arrow would not materialize before striking its target. Thus, once Xinghua's Silver Star Arrow was fired, it could not be stopped—

Normally, at least...

At that moment, Crimson Blade suddenly spread her arms wide, completely defenseless. The Demon Crocodile Executive keenly understood Bai Yu's intention and immediately threw three hidden weapons toward Crimson Blade!

"Damn Monster Leader!!"

The moment she realized what the other side intended, sweat instantly appeared on Xinghua's forehead. Her expression could no longer remain as calm as before!

That was right... Bai Yu might be unable to deal with Xinghua while she was Phased, but he could have the Demon Crocodile Executive attack the controlled Crimson Blade. Xinghua certainly could not watch her companion get attacked right in front of her, could she?

Sure enough, Xinghua immediately stopped charging her attack. She rushed in front of Crimson Blade and swung her golden bow, knocking aside the three hidden weapons. But as she turned her back to Crimson Blade, Crimson Blade's hand uncontrollably raised the katana—

"Sis, watch out—"

Bang!

Before Xinghua could react, the katana slashed viciously into her side! Though the controlled Crimson Blade could not swing with much force, it still made Xinghua, who was rarely injured, grimace in pain!

In an instant, Xinghua fell into a disadvantage! She watched helplessly as the Demon Crocodile Executive pulled a huge cleaver from who knew where and swung it at her!

"Monster Leader, how can you be so despicable—"

Ordinarily, Xinghua could easily dodge such a wide, simple attack without even using Phasing! But if she dodged now, what would happen to Crimson Blade behind her? Was she supposed to watch her little sister take that blade?

At that moment, Xinghua dearly wished she had some kind of defensive skill! But why would someone who could Phase study defensive magic? She could only grit her teeth and raise her golden longbow, blocking the Demon Crocodile Executive's cleaver—

Bang!!!

The golden bow split in half once more, and Xinghua felt as though the impact had nearly shaken her body apart! Her magical power was not suited for defense in the first place, and she was being forced to protect someone else... Xinghua had been thoroughly countered this time!

[Forget Crimson Blade. Her body is much tougher than yours! She won't die from one slash!]

At that moment, Papi's voice sounded in Xinghua's mind. [Don't let your emotions get in the way in this situation! Dealing with the caster takes priority...]

Thud!

But before Papi could finish, Xinghua collapsed face-first to the ground without making another sound. Papi's entire doll body froze... It had never imagined Xinghua's constitution had deteriorated to this extent! She had so much magical power reinforcing her body, yet the Demon Crocodile Executive had still knocked her unconscious with a single blow!

Just how much of a weakling was this girl physically?! The kind who would be out of breath after taking out the trash! She had not been this bad when I first met her. If I'd known, I never would have let Meng Yue bear everything alone this past year!

No choice... It seemed impossible to kill the Monster Leader today. At the very least, it had to get information about Meng Yue!

With that thought, Papi, existing somewhere else, vanished from its spot. Originally, it had intended to have Xinghua directly shoot Bai Yu dead. But Xinghua had been so useless, and Papi itself had no fighting ability, so it could only settle for the secondary objective.

It would question him about the magical girl Meng Yue. As the Monster Leader, he surely knew far more than the White Horse Cadre! And while being questioned, he would also fall into a dazed state, allowing Crimson Blade's restraints to be released so she could take Xinghua and retreat!

In an instant, Papi appeared behind Bai Yu. Looking at the back of the current Monster Leader's head... the floating Papi desperately wanted to bite down! Unfortunately, it did not have the strength to crush Bai Yu's skull, so it could only ask for information—

"I've been waiting for you."

But before Papi could speak, Bai Yu suddenly opened his mouth. At that instant, a dark purple magic circle appeared beneath his feet!

"What—"

For a moment, Bai Yu and Papi were both enveloped by the magic circle's light! The next second, both vanished from where they stood. Before Papi could react, it found itself in an unknown space shrouded in black mist.

"Welcome to the Interrogation Chamber."

PS: I only just saw there was an event. Today, I gave myself 245 recommendation votes. I feel kind of pathetic...

I still couldn't resist giving it a try. This book doesn't have many bookmarks yet, so if I don't vote for myself, it probably won't get too outrageous.

I'm not very familiar with reward campaigns, so I copied someone else's. One update for every 500 recommendation votes, one update for every 50 monthly tickets, one update for every 10,000 in tips, and one update for every 100 blades. I'll tally it up tomorrow at noon.

Also... this book was inspired by A Wild Magical Girl's Body? I Picked It Up!. I don't know why they stopped writing it or why they thought it flopped. If theirs flopped, then what am I? Anyway, I'll inherit their will and charge ahead! w(?Д?)w

And here's the anti-disappearance group number: 828917145. By the way, I'll definitely write some explicit stuff in the future, and I'll post it in the group then. We can discuss the plot too! ?(^?^*)

Let's start with five updates today to warm things up!
