Why Are There Stray Cats Everywhere?!

After hanging up with Meng Chen, Fang Ming Fang Ming in the Magical Girls group for a while before looking up towards the restroom.

Half an hour had passed, but Lyla still hadn't come out of the bathroom.

Could this girl have fallen asleep in the bathroom?

Just as Fang Ming was wondering what was going on, a notification sound suddenly caught Fang Ming attention.

Beep beep beep--

A notification sound came from the computer, and a friend request popped up in the lower right corner of the screen.

Fang Ming stared intently, his eyebrows slightly raised.

The person who requested to be my friend was a stranger with a cute girl's profile picture and the nickname 'K'.

K?

Little K?

Magical Creatures around Lyla?

With that in mind, Fang Ming accepted the friend request without hesitation.

Before Fang Ming could speak, K sent a 'Nino peeking out' emoji, along with a question.

K: "Good evening, Mr. Fang Ming. I hope I haven't disturbed you?"

Fang: "Who are you?"

K: "(Xiao Qiu grins sheepishly. jpg) Look at my name, Mr. Fang Ming, didn't you guess? I'm... that child's contracted creature~"

Fang: "It really is you, Miss K. Why didn't you come to meet me in person? Why did you choose to talk to me in this way?"

Seeing that Little K openly admitted her identity, Fang Ming didn't keep him in suspense any longer. He typed on the keyboard and asked Little K a question.

Little K typed very fast; almost as soon as Fang Ming typed a sentence, a line of text appeared in front of Fang Ming in less than three seconds.

K: "Because it's not very convenient for me to show up right now, and to be honest, I don't trust Mr. Fang Ming as much as you do. Even though you have a good relationship with those Magical Girls, you are, after all, an official, right?"

This time, K didn't use emojis, and the conversation became much more serious.

Upon seeing these words, Fang Ming's eyes flickered slightly.

Fang: "It seems you and Lyla are both avoiding officials?"

K: "Hmm... I don't know if those people are government officials, but they've been looking for us, not just this child, but also the blue-haired child, and Lien, who made a contract with that child. We've been hiding from them."

Them?

Fang Ming immediately thought of the several laboratories in the Americas District that belonged to the government.

So, the person who made the contract with Lien wasn't Lyla, but another blue Magical Girls?

Various thoughts swirled in Fang Ming's mind. He paused briefly before continuing his conversation with K.

Fang: "'They'... who are they?"

K: "A group of ordinary people trying to master magic, and unfortunately, they actually managed to create some magical creatures, but alas... they were just a bunch of uncontrollable monsters."

Fang: "!? You mean, they've already found a way to control magic?!"

K: "I told you, they're just creating 'monsters,' and that's not really controlling magic; it's just Pandora's Box that will bring the end of the world sooner."

The information Fang Ming received from Little K shocked him.

He never expected that the Americas District would actually discover something, something that Meng Chen and his hacker friends had failed to uncover!

This also means that these things have not actually been uploaded to the official database, and it is even unknown whether these laboratories belong to the official authorities.

Considering the abundance of capital in the Americas District, Fang Ming felt that... these laboratories likely belonged to certain large corporations.

But that's not the point.

The main focus is on those monsters!

Fang: "So, the 'monsters' that Lyla mentioned fighting were these things? Failed experiments?"

K: "That's right. Most of them are modified from animals, or even humans, and generally possess the power of Lesser Demons. However, with Lyla and that other child's strength, they can still handle them."

Fang: "Then why are you telling me all this? Do you want me to help Lyla?"

K: "I guess so, but it's not just Lyla."

Not just Lyla?

Fang Ming sensed the deeper meaning in Little K's words.

He realized that Little K wanted him to help the other Magical Girls.

Sure enough, Little K's subsequent actions confirmed Fang Ming's guess.

K: "Lien, and the child who made a contract with Lien, are also in a very dangerous situation. They have been trying to take revenge on those who bullied Lien."

K: "Of course, I'm not blaming them. The harm Lien suffered certainly deserves retaliation. But what I'm worried about is whether they can withstand the targeting by humans in this world. After all... compared to the world as a whole, Magical Girls aren't actually that powerful."

Little K is right.

Magical Girls are still human, no matter what. Although they possess world-destroying magic, before they transform, Magical Girls are just a group of slightly stronger humans.

Normal firearms can also injure them. Unless they can transform before the bullets arrive, human firearms still pose a certain threat to them.

If the little lion Lien and the Magical Girls who made a contract with Lien are determined to be enemies of the humans in this world, then they are indeed very likely to get hurt.

They might even... die.

Fang Ming remained silent, deep in thought.

After saying all that, Little K didn't send another message for a long time.

Finally, when the bathroom door was pushed open and Lyla, dressed in a nightgown with wet hair, came out, Little K sent Fang Ming another message.

K: "I'm not forcing you to help them, but I hope you'll let me know if there's any major development from the authorities. Thank you."

After saying that, Little K's profile picture turned gray, indicating that she had logged off.

Fang Ming stared at Little K's last words, pondered for a while, and then replied with an "okay".

Finally, I closed the laptop.

Turning his head to look at Lyla:

"You seem to have been washing for a long time?"

"Tsk, I accidentally splashed water on myself while washing my hair, so I took a shower as well."

Lyla said, pursing her lips.

Judging from the faint scent of shower gel emanating from her, she wasn't lying.

Fang Ming's gaze shifted from her yellow nightgown to her hair, and he asked:

Why isn't your hair dry?

"I've been playing for a while, but it's gone too long... That's enough for now, can I go to sleep now?"

Lyla asked Fang Ming in an annoyed tone.

It seems that Lyla cares more about being able to lie in bed and rest than about her hair not being dry.

Fang Ming sighed upon seeing this.

He waved in Lyla's direction and said:

"Come here, let me dry your hair."

"Huh? That's too much trouble, no need!"

"Hurry up!"

"What?! Do you think you're my dad?! I don't!"

Lyla crossed her arms, turned her head to the side, and looked completely unwilling to cooperate.

Fang Ming also had his own ways of dealing with such a troublemaker.

He sighed and said helplessly:

"Alright, since this little one refuses to dry their hair before bed, that's it... Sigh, they call themselves adults, but they're not even as good as Dongdong..."

"!!!!"

Lyla's face instantly flushed red, her cheeks turning bright red as she pointed at Fang Ming and said:

"Who's a kid?! It's just drying your hair! I'll show you!"

"Never mind, they're just kids, it's normal for them to be a little willful."

"I! Am! Not! a! Child!!!! How! Harassing!!"

Lyla, her face flushed, stormed into the bathroom, grabbed a hairdryer, plugged it in, and began haphazardly blowing it into her hair.

But Lyla seemed quite smug as she said:

"See? I can do it myself!"

This is such a mess...

Seeing that Lyla's hair seemed to have a mind of its own, flying around erratically everywhere, Fang Ming found it amusing and couldn't help but step forward, take the hairdryer, and say to Lyla:

"Yes, yes, Miss Lyla did a great job, but so you can get some rest soon, let me help you..."

Fang Ming spoke, he took the hairdryer and used one hand to style Lyla's hair.

Perhaps wanting to go to sleep quickly, Lyla didn't resist much.

Fang Ming skillfully dried Lyla's hair.

With Xiao Qiu and Dongdong's experience, Fang Ming is also very good at this, and can ensure that even the most picky customer can't find fault with him.

But when Fang Ming helped dry Lyla's hair, what he saw in Lyla hair made him pause in surprise.

Beneath Lyla's long, dark gold hair, a few strands of red stood out prominently at the roots.

Upon seeing the bright red at the roots of the hair, Fang Ming's pupils contracted slightly.

Gold... that's not Lyla's real hair color!

Lyla's real hair color is red!

Chapter 174 Why are there always fish-stealing cats everywhere?!

Bang, bang!

In a corner of the large warehouse, on a makeshift small 'arena,' Fang Ming and Lyla were exchanging blows.

Lyla lunged at Fang Ming without any strategy or pattern, each punch she threw creating a whistling wind.

This means that Lyla's strength is so great that simply touching her can easily cause injury.

But precisely because of the immense force of the attacks, every time they reached Fang Ming, he would use strange techniques to deflect them.

After Lyla threw her last punch, Fang Ming grabbed her arm and, using her momentum, delivered a brutal over-the-shoulder throw without any regard for her feelings!

Bang!

"Cough!"

The fall was quite hard, but luckily the makeshift arena floor was relatively soft; otherwise, even if Lyla were Magical Girls, she would probably have been lying on the ground dazed for a while.

"That's enough." After throwing Lyla to the ground, Fang Ming announced that the 'strength check' was over.

Looking at Lyla lying on the ground, panting heavily, Fang Ming half-squatted in front of her head, touched Lyla's forehead with his finger, and said:

"You have enough strength and speed, but you lack skill. It's just the fighting style of a street thug, and... you've never used a weapon before."

Fang Ming used an affirmative sentence.

Judging from Lyla's offensive movements, she prefers to use her fists and feet rather than weapons, indicating that Lyla has absolutely no experience using weapons.

Lyla slapped Fang Ming's hand away impatiently and said:

"I don't have any weapons after I transform, and I prefer the feeling of hand-to-hand combat, so don't worry about that. Just tell me, how long will it take me to learn your fighting style?"

"Learning techniques is easy; with your physical condition... I guarantee you'll be completely transformed in two months."

Fang Ming stood up and casually said to Lyla.

But the words Lyla had said kept echoing in my mind.
