Volume One: The Magical Girl's Path to Corruption

The Interrogation Chamber?

Looking at Bai Yu before him, Papi inexplicably had a bad feeling. Then purple chains suddenly shot out, tightly binding his tiny body in midair.

"Useless, Monster Leader."

Still, Papi spoke in an unconcerned tone. "You don't seriously think you can kill me—"

"I never said I was going to kill you. As long as the original body isn't dead, your clone can't die either. I know that much."

However, Bai Yu merely smiled. "But have you noticed that the connection between you, the clone, and your original body has already been severed?"

"What?!"

Hearing that, Papi instinctively checked... Sure enough, his connection to his original body had vanished! In other words, he had now completely become an independent entity. Even if he obtained information from Bai Yu, he had no way to relay it back!

"What exactly are you trying to do?!"

Papi struggled fiercely a couple of times, instinctively trying to use magic to force Bai Yu to reveal his purpose... But the moment he circulated his magic power, the purple chains gave off a faint glow. His magic power was actually being suppressed by those chains!

"This way, you can neither use magic nor contact your original body. That means your original body won't know anything that happens in this space."

Bai Yu casually slapped Papi across the face and smiled. "For the next hour, the two of us will get along nicely."

"You went through all that trouble just to drag me into a space like this and humiliate me?"

After struggling to no avail, Papi simply stopped moving. He said calmly, "I can neither feel pain nor comprehend death. If you want to vent your anger by laying hands on me, be my guest—"

"When you chose people to become Magical Girls, what exactly did you plant inside them?"

At that moment, Bai Yu cut him off with that question. Papi let out a disdainful snort.

How ridiculous! Does he really think I'm someone who answers every question? Answering Magical Girls truthfully and never lying is merely a personal hobby of mine. Does he seriously think I'm incapable of refusing to answer?

Thinking that, Papi had no intention of saying anything to Bai Yu. He did not even have a sense of pain, so Bai Yu could not torture him anyway... Yet even though that was what he thought, Papi opened his mouth the very next second!

"On the surface, what I implanted was a magic crystal. After merging with their bodies, the crystal becomes their Magic Core, granting each Magical Girl different abilities and qualifying them to protect the world."

His mouth opened and closed as Papi spoke against his will. "But what those people don't know is... those magic crystals are actually specially treated Magical Beast Cores!"

Before the stunned Papi could react, Bai Yu continued, "Then Meng Yue's originally pure white Magic Core has been stained purple. What does that mean?"

"It means Meng Yue has developed corrupt thoughts. The more a Magical Girl falls into corruption, the more she will be influenced by the Magical Beast instincts remaining in the core, causing her body and mind to become increasingly corrupted!"

Papi continued answering, "In the end, she will become a humanoid Magical Beast... in other words, something similar to a monster."

"I see. After all, when Magical Beasts take human form, they become monsters. Of course, injecting Magical Beast genes into humans can also turn them into monsters."

Rubbing his chin, Bai Yu analyzed, "So Magical Girls who gain Beast Power naturally count as monsters too. By the way, what exactly are these so-called corrupt thoughts? Give me an example."

By now, Papi was sweating buckets in panic! What had he just heard? Meng Yue's Magic Core had been stained purple? How was that possible?!

That kind girl who had been willing to devote everything to so-called justice... had actually fallen into corruption? What kind of joke was that? How could that be allowed? If she really fell, something huge would happen!

Papi desperately tried to stop himself from answering, but the thoughts in his heart were like an opened faucet, pouring uncontrollably from his mouth...

"The more a Magical Girl harbors corrupt thoughts like wanting to give up being human and willingly become a nonhuman being, the more she will be dominated by the instincts left within the Magical Beast Core. Normally, however, no ordinary human would have such lowly thoughts."

Papi uncontrollably revealed vital information. "Also, if the being that Magical Girl wants to become happens to resemble the original owner of the Beast Core inside her, then she will fall even more easily! For example, if a Magical Girl has a Fenrir Wolf Beast Core inside her and develops the desire to become a dog... she will fall into corruption much faster!"

"Oh? I had roughly guessed as much..."

With an intrigued expression, Bai Yu asked, "But let me confirm it. Meng Yue's Magic Core... contains the Beast Core of what Magical Beast?"

"It used... the Beast Core of a Purple Phantom Poison Cat."

"So it really was a cat!"

Clapping his hands together, Bai Yu said excitedly, "Then I really am a genius! Raising her as a pet cat actually happened to fulfill the conditions for corruption! Now that I think about it, her Magic Core became contaminated fastest whenever she imitated a kitty. It seems she really likes being treated as a pet cat!"

"Monster Leader! What did you do to Meng Yue?!"

Since Bai Yu had not asked a question for a while, Papi finally found an opening to roar, "What did you do?! How could a normal human possibly enjoy being raised as a cat? What vile method did you use—"

"You don't need to worry about that."

Bai Yu silenced Papi's roar with a slap, then asked, "So can I understand it this way? If I treat her like a cat every day and let her experience the happiness of being a kitty, she'll fall into corruption on her own?"

"Theoretically, that's correct, but it is only a theory."

Papi continued, "You need to personally experiment to find out exactly how to make a Magical Girl fall into corruption. And every Magical Girl's method of corruption should differ according to her personality, life experiences, and the Beast Core inside her."

"I see..."

Bai Yu thought for a moment, then asked, "Then in your eyes, which Magical Girl is the easiest to corrupt right now?"

"Magical Girl Xinghua. As long as you find the right method, she'll fall immediately."

Papi answered without hesitation. "She never volunteered to become a Magical Girl in the first place. That girl thinks about betraying me every moment of every day. Right now, I'm only restraining her through her feelings for her younger sister... and an important secret of hers."

"A secret?"

Raising an eyebrow, Bai Yu asked with great interest, "About this secret... Forget it, let's dox her first. Tell me the real identities of both sisters."

PS: First update. A day on Cat Site runs until six in the morning, and I can definitely get five updates out before then!

Volume One: Xinghua's Secret

Asking about the Magical Girls' true identities had been Bai Yu's original purpose for developing this Judgment Chamber. Within this Judgment Chamber, every living creature besides Bai Yu would be forced to speak the truth for one hour!

However, maintaining this barrier magic required an enormous amount of magic power. Therefore, Bai Yu made an array disk and poured magic power into it every day. It took half a year before he finally completed this magic array.

But because it took half a year to make one, Bai Yu had always planned to wait until he had enough questions before imprisoning Papi. After discovering the abnormal change in Meng Yue's Magic Core, he finally had enough questions to ask...

Not only did the Judgment Chamber force people to speak the truth, its most important function was severing the connection between Papi's clone and original body. That way, even if Papi leaked information, his original body would not know. And after the questioning was done, this room had an even more powerful function!

"Xinghua's real name is Ling Li, and Crimson Blade's real name is Ling Nai."

No matter how unwilling Papi was, he could only honestly reveal the information. "The sisters live in a rented apartment in Orange Sky District, Starry Sky City. Their address is..."

Through the pleasant back-and-forth questioning, Papi basically spilled everything about the sisters! Their residence, school, personality traits, social connections, and even their appearances before transforming were all revealed to Bai Yu.

"I see..."

Bai Yu nodded and firmly memorized the information. Then he continued, "So according to you, Crimson Blade is like Meng Yue: a righteous girl who sincerely wants to protect humanity from monsters. And personality-wise, she's even more stubborn and single-minded than Meng Yue."

"That's right. That kind of personality is the easiest to exploit!"

"And Xinghua is a girl with personality problems. You've been controlling her with that secret, otherwise she would have long since given up or even betrayed you?"

Bai Yu was rather surprised as he said this. In his impression, Magical Girl Xinghua was an utterly unmotivated person. Before Meng Yue was captured, she had always been like a ghost, serving alongside Crimson Blade as a scoring target for monsters' assessments. Bai Yu had guessed that she might be lazy, but he never imagined she spent every day wanting to betray the Contract Spirit!

"Then what exactly is this secret?"

Hearing Papi say that, Bai Yu naturally became interested in Xinghua's secret! He casually slapped Papi across the face and asked.

"The secret is—"

Papi's large pupils shrank at that instant. Clearly, he very much did not want to reveal this secret. Unfortunately, his thoughts were useless within this barrier. No matter what, he honestly opened his mouth and said, "She's a deeply closeted pervert! A dog-obsessed pervert who wants to become a dog!"

"What? Become a dog???"

At first, Bai Yu thought he had misheard, but Papi continued, "She's a lunatic with utterly warped values! She has an incomprehensible love for dogs, so much that she wants to become a dog herself! As for humans, she can barely feel anything for them. She has absolutely no self-awareness or sense of duty as a human!"

"From a human perspective, she really is a freak..."

Hearing that, Bai Yu displayed an interested expression and asked, "Then the only reason she hasn't fallen into corruption yet... is that her Magic Core doesn't come from a canine creature?"

"No..."

At that moment, Papi gritted his teeth. "Her Magic Core is an Ice Crystal Snow Wolf... Damn it! Why did I happen to give her a Magic Core like that back then?!"

"Huh? That much of a coincidence? Then why hasn't she fallen yet?"

"Because this bitch still has feelings for her younger sister, and that severely restrains her. She's even afraid her sister will find out that she's such a pervert."

Papi explained, "But it's hard to say. If a dog she especially liked appeared, and her affection for that dog surpassed her feelings for her younger sister, falling into corruption would not be impossible... And by the way, she doesn't just like dogs. She's an extreme pervert who wants a dog to treat her as its master and enslave her!"

"I've only heard of people recognizing cats as their masters. There are actually people who want a dog as their master... That fetish really is perverse. Now I want to know what she experienced to become so twisted!"

Bai Yu asked curiously, "Has she never encountered a dog like that before?"

"The funny thing is, she loves dogs that much, but every dog runs away when it sees her! I don't know what kind of constitution she has, but all I can say is she deserves it! Refusing to be a proper human and wanting to become a dog instead! How did I end up choosing such a human traitor as a Magical Girl—"

Papi seemed to harbor deep resentment toward Xinghua and could not stop cursing... until Bai Yu gave him a hard slap and made him shut up.

"Interesting... truly interesting."

After rubbing his chin and thinking for a moment, Bai Yu seemed to think of something. "Then do you know what type of dog she likes? Tell me all about its appearance and characteristics!"

"She likes..."

Papi answered the question as expected, while Bai Yu's eyes shifted... Then he smiled delightedly. "Very good, very good~~~ So aside from Xinghua and Crimson Blade, do you know anything about other Magical Girls?"

"No. This clone is only responsible for the three Magical Girls in Starry Sky City. Other cities are handled by other clones."

"You're really useless!"

Patting Papi's face, Bai Yu asked, "Then why have you spent so many years constantly targeting the Monster Organization?"

"Only the original body knows that. We clones retain only the original body's deep hatred toward you, but we do not know the reason behind it."

Hearing that, Bai Yu frowned... He had thought he could finally ask about the question that had troubled him for so long, but he had not expected Papi to have taken protective measures. Not all information could be extracted.

Bai Yu asked a few more questions about Papi, but every answer was that only the original body knew. Unfortunately, after only half an hour, he had already asked everything he wanted to know...

"This clone has outlived its usefulness."

After that, Bai Yu said to Papi, "Just wait. Sooner or later, I'll find your original body."

"Monster Leader, don't think you've won! Even if Meng Yue and Xinghua fall into corruption, you won't change anything!"

Realizing that something terrible was about to happen, Papi still stubbornly retorted, "They're only two Magical Girls, after all. There are many Magical Girls in other cities! They can easily fill the vacancies left by those two!"

"Not only that!"

Seeing no reaction from Bai Yu, Papi continued to roar, "If Crimson Blade sees her sister become a monster, she'll definitely erupt! Don't be fooled by how weak she is now... If she receives that kind of stimulation, she'll immediately become someone who gives you a headache!"

Second update

Volume One: The Key

"Is that so?"

Hearing that, Bai Yu instinctively replied, "Isn't that simple? When the time comes, I'll just corrupt her too."

"Ha ha ha ha ha—"

However, Papi burst into laughter upon hearing that. "I can see that you completely don't understand! Why do you think I kept that child as a Magical Girl even though she's so weak? I dare say that even if her body became a monster, Crimson Blade would still fight the Monster Organization to the death for justice!"

Bai Yu no longer paid Papi any attention. As far as he was concerned, every last bit of intelligence value had been squeezed out of this clone! He directly raised his palm toward Papi, then clenched his fist—

In an instant, all the magic power in the Interrogation Chamber surged toward Papi! After struggling twice, Papi discovered in shock that his doll-like body had begun to petrify!

"Since I can't kill you, I'll just seal you away."

Looking at Papi gradually turning into a stone statue, Bai Yu said softly, "This is the final function of the Interrogation Chamber: forcibly sealing any living entity within the barrier!"

This was a prison Bai Yu had specifically created for Papi. To ensure absolute success, he had even used Concept Magic to strengthen its power! His Concept Magic had added a specific concept to the Interrogation Chamber: [When the sealed target is Papi, the sealing effect is enhanced a hundredfold]. This was also something he had learned from a certain senior in the library.

It was said that when Concept Magic became powerful enough, it could even bestow the concept of [death] upon all things. If he learned that move someday, he would not need to go through such trouble sealing Papi like today. He could simply grant him the concept of death...

"Whoosh!"

The next second, Bai Yu returned to the outside world. With a clench of his hand, the magic array on the ground immediately condensed into a thumb-sized cube, which he stored in his storage space.

However, when he looked downstairs, he discovered that Crimson Blade and Xinghua had already disappeared...

"Leader!"

When Bai Yu landed, Demon Crocodile, White Horse, and Black Bear, the three monster executives, all came before him. Black Bear said guiltily, "Sorry, Leader. We let Crimson Blade escape with Xinghua."

"The three of you couldn't stop her?"

Bai Yu was slightly stunned, though he did not particularly care that the two Magical Girls had left. After all, his priority objective had already been achieved. The sisters had both been doxxed, so where could they possibly run?
