The Second Magical Girl and Purification Mode
What a mess of decorations!
Although the items on display looked quite harmonious overall, Fang Ming found them all rather strange.
It seems that Tucker simply likes Eastern things without understanding the meaning behind them, and just puts them here because he thinks they look nice and are suitable.
Of course, none of this matters.
You... gang leader!
Is it appropriate to have so many Magical Girls posters displayed behind me?
You like Magical Girls so much, yet you chased Aurora all over the city??
While Fang Ming was still observing, Tucker had already stood in front of the two of them again and respectfully addressed them:
"Mr. Fang Ming, Miss Aurora, I'm sure you two have guessed why I invited you here... Miss Aurora, no... Lady Aurora!"
"I was wrong to send people to chase after you some time ago! I have no objection to whatever punishment you give me, Lady Aurora! I just wish to humbly request that Aurora do a small live stream to put in a good word for my Crocodile Brotherhood... The Crocodile Brotherhood be eternally grateful!"
Tucker bowed deeply to Aurora.
This is a very intelligent person.
He didn't explain why he was pursuing Aurora, nor did he defend himself by saying he was forced Aurora, and he certainly didn't bring up his deceased brother to gain Aurora's sympathy.
In front of Aurora, he only admitted that he was wrong.
Regardless of the reasons, he was wrong! Even if he wasn't wrong, he was still wrong!
If you're wrong, you have to admit it; if you admit it, you have to correct it. Tucker humbled himself just to get Aurora's forgiveness.
Because he knew that this was the only way for the Crocodile Brotherhood to survive.
Faced with the gang leader's swift knee slide, Fang Ming was speechless and turned to look at Aurora.
Whether or not Tucker is forgiven is not up to Fang Ming to decide, as he was not involved in the matter.
Aurora's opinion counts.
Looking at the Crocodile Brotherhood, who was bowing deeply before her and not daring to raise his head, Aurora's eyes flashed with confusion.
Growing up in N City, in the neighborhoods controlled by the Crocodile Brotherhood, she always thought of this gang as a behemoth.
She never imagined that one day she would make the leader of the Crocodile Brotherhood so humble and obsequious, all because she became Magical Girls.
Punishment?
Forgive?
After so much time has passed, Aurora has long since come to terms with it.
Harvey's death, though related to the Crocodile Brotherhood, was actually caused by his own attempt to escape debts, which led to him falling to his death from a high-rise building.
The group that killed Harvey also died at the hands of the Shell Monster that appeared that day.
Aurora didn't really have the right to punish the Crocodile Brotherhood; after all, that's just how the world is.
So now, if she were asked to punish Tucker, she really wouldn't know how.
In the end, she could only look to Fang Ming beside her and ask her coach for help.
Seeing that Aurora had kicked the ball back, Fang Ming hesitated for a moment before asking Tucker:
"Mr. Tucker, it seems the Crocodile Brotherhood isn't doing too well lately."
"Sigh, it's more than just bad..." Tucker finally looked up again upon hearing this, and said to Fang Ming with a wry smile:
"... It's practically on the verge of collapse, even I... sigh, anyway, I still hope Miss Aurora can..."
"Aaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!"
Before Tucker could finish speaking, a desperate scream suddenly came from outside the office.
Upon hearing the screams, the three immediately stopped talking and turned to look at the door.
At the same time, Kelly's voice came from Aurora's phone:
"It's Mutant Magic! It's those guys again!!"
Mutant Magic refers to the magic possessed by those peculiar creatures that have been transformed into monsters.
The emergence of Mutant Magic signifies one thing.
Those monsters have reappeared.
Chapter 197 The Second-Ranked Magical Girls and Purification Mode
How could a monster possessing Mutant Magic appear here?
Upon hearing the screams outside, Fang Ming immediately turned his gaze to Tucker.
Tucker knelt down before the two men without hesitation and said:
"I don't know! Mr. Fang, Miss Aurora, believe me, I really don't know what happened!"
He wasn't lying.
Having learned some Microexpression Observation, Fang Ming was able to tell.
Hearing the screams outside, Fang Ming frowned and looked at Aurora, saying:
"Aurora, transform!"
"Tsk, I know, uncle, you don't need to remind me of this."
Aurora rolled her eyes at Fang Ming, then took out her phone. A red "K" popped up in an instant, and in just one breath, Aurora had transformed.
As Aurora transformed, Fang Ming turned to look at the furnishings in the room. When he saw the katana on the table, he immediately went forward and took it in his hand.
Drawing his katana and gazing at its sharpened edge, Fang Ming nodded slightly, then said to Aurora:
"After you transform, could you do me a favor and enchant this weapon?"
"... Uncle, stop joking around. You're just an ordinary person..."
Aurora was about to advise Fang Ming not to get involved in the Magical Girls affair when Fang Ming interrupted her, saying:
"You've seen the second season and the opening sequence of the spin-off, so you should know that I have the ability to deal with monsters. Besides... even if I don't go out to fight, I should at least have something to protect myself."
Fang Ming tried to persuade Aurora.
At this moment, he is unable to transform, nor can he use his magical powers as Fang Ming. To protect himself, he can only rely on Aurora's magic.
The screams outside the door continued. Aurora knew she couldn't delay any longer, so after a second's hesitation, Aurora immediately went to Fang Ming's side and, following Professor Kelly's enchanting method, added magic to the weapon in Fang Ming's hand.
"I'm not very skilled at Wizards; the magic on it will probably only last for about ten minutes..."
"That's enough. Now go outside and take a look, Aurora. Do what you need to do."
Fang Ming said earnestly to Aurora.
Aurora and Fang Ming exchanged a glance for a moment, then suddenly looked away, muttering:
"I know, you're such a nag, uncle..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Aurora's figure transformed into a red streak of light, smashed through the office door, and sped away outside.
After Aurora left, Fang Ming said to Tucker:
"Can I borrow your weapon for a moment? Is that alright?"
"No problem! Of course, no problem! Mr. Fang, please feel free to use it! If you find the weapon inconvenient, I have another gun in my desk..."
"A gun isn't necessary, after all—"
As Fang Ming spoke, he held the knife in one hand and made a drawing motion in Tucker's direction.
Under Tucker's horrified gaze, Fang Ming suddenly stepped forward, closing the distance of a few meters in an instant, and swung the blade in his hand at Tucker.
Swish--
A flash of light, Tucker's breath caught in his throat. His mind went blank; he had no idea what was happening.
Why did Fang Ming want to kill him? Was he already dead? Why wasn't he feeling any pain?
After a series of thoughts flashed through his mind, and even his entire life over the past few decades flashed before his eyes, Tucker realized that he was not dead.
Fang Ming's next words reached my ears:
"--A katana is enough for me."
Thump.
The sound of something hitting the ground came from behind Tucker.
Tucker stiffly turned his head and saw a monster that looked like a combination of a chameleon and a mantis lying behind him.
Its head was gone, and its headless body was still twitching, even trying to raise its right hand to continue attacking.
Swish--
Fang Ming swung his blade again, slicing the Chameleon Mantis's arm into four pieces before the mangled body finally stopped moving.
Tucker then realized that Fang Ming hadn't attacked him, but the monster behind him!
Fang Ming saved his life!
"Ah... ahhh!! What... what is this?! Mr. Fang! What is this?!"
Startled, Tucker, completely lacking the demeanor of a gang leader, stepped forward and clung to Fang Ming's leg, trembling.
This is understandable Tucker; having been in the gang for over a decade, Tucker has indeed survived countless gunfights.
The problem is, this is the first time I've ever seen a monster that seems to have suddenly appeared behind him!
If it weren't for Fang Ming, he probably would have been killed by this thing and wouldn't even know how he died!
"As you can see, those are the monsters in the Sky Screen."
Fang Ming gave a simple reply, ignoring Tucker was clinging to his leg, and suddenly turned around to look at the window.
As soon as he turned around, he found himself facing a pistol pointed directly at him.
The person holding the pistol was a girl with short, light blue hair.
The second Magical Girls from the Americas District was standing right in front of Fang Ming at this very moment.
"What... what's going on!?"
When Aurora left the office and came to the outside area, she was stunned by the sight there; her red eyes were wide open, almost as big as saucers.
When Aurora heard screams outside her office, she thought it was just one or two monsters with Mutant Magic. But when she ran out of the office, Aurora saw a whole group of monsters!
No... these aren't monsters, they're people!
They are monsters transformed from humans!
"Oh no, the Mutant Magic is turning them into Demons!"
Kelly's voice rang in Aurora's ears.
Aurora exclaimed in surprise, "What?! Mutant Magic can do something like this?!"
"Normally, this is impossible, but this Mutant Magic clearly contains something else mixed in..."
"What do we do now! Is there any hope for them!?"
Aurora was surrounded by chaos. Some monsters that had completely transformed into 'Demons' were biting at the nearby survivors. Those bitten convulsed and began to transform into half-human, half-demon beings.
The entire building seemed to have suddenly transformed into a zombie movie theater, with blood and screams everywhere.
However, Aurora couldn't eliminate these people like she would ordinary monsters, because they still looked human and possessed some human rationality.
Besides...
Aurora has never killed anyone!
Even if she were to smash these people to pieces with her own fists, she simply couldn't bring herself to do it!
"I have a way! I'll teach you Purification Magic now. You just need to hold back a little and 'purify' them using the method I'll teach you! Just like how Xiao Qiu purified their nightmares!"
Kelly spoke quickly.
Purification Magic should be considered one of the basic magics mastered by Magical Girls.
This magic is needed to purify Nightmare within Nightmare Barrier, and to cleanse the nightmares of others.
