A Meeting of Magical Creatures

"--But he's just an ordinary person."

"In the Sky Screen... he's very strong..."

"But in the end, didn't he still die in Aurora's arms? Oh, maybe not, but pretty much."

"Other... Magical Girls..."

"Yu Muqiu and the others? Of course, if you ask them for help, they will definitely help you. In their awakened Shining Form, they might not even need to exert much effort to easily eliminate this group of monsters."

"However, the problem we face now is not whether our combat strength is strong or not, but that we can't find them."

"Humans are complex beings. Yu Muqiu and her friends' naivety and innocence are not enough to handle such complexity. Instead, they will become a burden to us."

Lien commented.

Hidden in the shadows, having completely retracted its tentacles and leaving no trace, those bastards who stole a significant amount of Source of Magic from Lien to create monsters have now vanished from this world entirely.

They probably knew that Sky Screen was exposed, they would become pariahs, so as early as when the trailer was released, they had already withdrawn all the tentacles that could expose them and were quietly accumulating something.

They only began to act last night, when the spin-off officially started airing.

This group of people is insidious and cunning; in Lien's eyes, they are the embodiment of all the negative aspects of humanity, and the most dangerous people.

Kind-hearted Magical Girls are terrible at these things, especially now that they're in the open while these people are in the shadows.

Take today's events as an example. If Fang Ming hadn't come to the Crocodile Brotherhood with Aurora, and if Luna had arrived any later, Aurora would definitely have been caught in a media storm.

These guys will probably use similar underhanded tactics again in the future, and even more often!

If what these guys do causes Xiao Qiu and the others to feel disappointed in humanity, that would be a bad thing for the whole world!

Although Lien was filled with Desire for revenge and wanted to kill all those guys, she didn't want to cause negative emotions in the Magical Girls.

Therefore, it's better that they don't know; they have their light, Lien has Lien darkness.

The only thing that made Lien feel guilty was dragging Luna into this darkness of revenge.

But Luna didn't care.

"It's okay, I'll help you..." Luna gently rubbed Lien's head and whispered, "We are one."

"... Um."

Lien nodded and said no more.

From the moment they signed with Luna, they were of one mind and body, so there's no point in saying anything sentimental now.

It would be better to end all of this as soon as possible.

Before the ending of the spin-off.

Luna and Lien chatted as they sped towards the wealthy district of N City.

They didn't land until they reached the villa area in the center of N City, where they simultaneously deactivated their transformations.

Luna's Magical Girls outfit transformed into the uniform of a prestigious school, and her short blue hair was magically imbued with a brown glow.

With her gold-rimmed glasses on her face, Luna, who usually had an ordinary, expressionless face, now wore a gentle and intellectual smile.

She became cheerful and optimistic, and pushed open the villa's door:

"I'm back~"

Accompanied by a light, cheerful sound, Luna entered the villa.

What she didn't see was that, high in the sky, far away from her, on a slender silver chain, Xiao Bai stood, her deep crimson eyes staring at the villa area for a long time.

Some time later, clouds drifted across the sky, obscuring Xiao Bai's figure.

When the clouds left again, Xiao Bai was nowhere to be seen.

The sky was still blue.

Chapter 199 The Meeting of Magical Creatures

"Uncle, where did you go?"

In her new home in the villa district, Aurora asked Fang Ming, Aurora had just returned to meet her, about her situation.

Fang Ming's disappearance from Tucker's office puzzled Aurora.

Because Tucker's office was on the thirtieth floor, and Fang Ming didn't go out, although he encountered the blue-haired Magical Girls along the way, Aurora learned from Tucker that the blue-haired Magical Girls had left first without taking Fang Ming with her.

Fang Ming disappeared from the office after the blue-haired girl vanished.

So the question is, where did he go?

Aurora found it suspicious and suspected it might be related to that elusive Xiao Bai.

Unfortunately, no matter how Aurora asked, Fang Ming only gave one answer.

"I didn't go anywhere, just took a walk."

"Just wandering around... from the thirtieth floor to the outside on the first floor?"

Aurora squinted.

She felt there was something wrong here.

Fang Ming smiled and made her a cup of sweet milk, handing it to her and saying:

"Yes, is there a problem?"

"..."

There's a problem, of course there's a problem!

Aurora wanted to say that, but remembering that her relationship with the older man wasn't that close, and that he was no relation to her, she shut her mouth, crossed her arms, and gave a cold snort:

"Hmph, whatever, I can't be bothered with you."

Anyway, it's good that everyone is alright. Aurora's main concern is that Fang Ming might be captured by monsters.

Since Fang Ming wasn't captured by the monster, Aurora didn't need to pry.

The blonde girl left the living room with a glass of hot milk and began exploring her new home.

Ever since Fang Ming tricked her into believing that drinking hot milk could help her grow taller, the blonde girl has made hot milk her main beverage.

Although milk didn't taste very good to her, she was willing to go all out to grow taller!

Watching the blonde girl's retreating figure, Fang Ming smiled but didn't say anything, his gaze already drifting to the other side, as if he could see through the wall to the villa thousands of meters away.

As luck would have it, the blue-haired Magical Girls named Luna lives in this wealthy neighborhood.

Her villa and Fang Ming's villa were only three or four kilometers apart.

That makes sense. There are only a few wealthy neighborhoods in N City, and Luna seems to have some status on the surface, so it's only natural that she would live here.

Moreover, being close to them has its advantages; at least Fang Ming can keep an eye on Aurora and Luna at the same time, ensuring that these two Magical Girls from the Americas District don't leave his sight.

What Fang Ming really wanted to do was to introduce Aurora and Luna, and make the two Magical Girls friends, just like Xiao Qiu and the others.

But considering Luna's cold personality and Aurora's fiery temper, Fang Ming felt that this was probably a rather difficult task.

He didn't know if Aurora and Luna in the game would eventually become friends, but realistically, he thought the chances of them becoming friends were slim.

Okay, let's leave it at that for now and let things take their natural course.

We should think about how to handle today's accident first.

As Fang Ming had predicted, news of Aurora's appearance at the Crocodile Brotherhood headquarters appeared on major media platforms within just half a day.

News of monster appearances is also included.

But this was actually Fang Ming's doing.

He immediately defined the matter, treating it as a sudden event.

The villains who created the monsters behind the scenes wanted to kill the Crocodile Brotherhood and cause trouble for Aurora. It was Aurora who disregarded past grievances and eliminated the monsters, thus saving the Crocodile Brotherhood.

This is a fact, and part of the truth.

Fang Ming asked Kelly to help draft the title and content, and then published it on major platforms through official channels in a short period of time, making Aurora the hero who saved the Crocodile Brotherhood before the person behind the scenes.

We must nip the mastermind's little scheme in the bud.

That's how the war of public opinion works; whoever gains the upper hand first has the advantage.

Not to mention that Magical Girls are now 'idols' all over the world. As long as they make a statement first, even without evidence, people are more willing to believe that Magical Girls are pure and kind.

They wouldn't believe those rats hiding in the ditches, secretly plotting something.

In conclusion, there's no need to worry about Aurora's situation.

Fang Ming's only worry was that those people would spread their technology to the whole world.

Turning people into monsters, and even monsters infecting each other... if this isn't handled properly, it will definitely cause huge problems.

"That's why I called you all here to discuss the issue of 'Mutant Magic'."

As evening fell, Fang Ming invited the Magical Girls to a 'relocation dinner' while simultaneously grabbing Nino and Youyou and taking them to his side to discuss the issue of Mutant Magic with Kelly.

"Mutant Magic? What's that?"

Nino performed as always, her eyes wide open, revealing a cute and innocent look.

Black Rabbit Youyou's forehead showed a clear sign of anger. She pulled out a paper fan from who-knows-where and slapped Nino hard on the head.

"You idiot, were you even paying attention in class?!"

"Well, you can't really blame Nino for that. Mutant Magic is usually something that's only taught in niche courses, so it's understandable that she didn't know about it."

Kelly's image appeared on Fang Ming's phone.

Although her physical body is still inside Aurora's phone, she can travel between other electronic devices via the internet.

The Kelly we know today is not a living being; she is a ghost existing in the electronic world.

"Ms. Kelly!"

Upon hearing Kelly's voice, Nino immediately sat up straight and looked at Kelly intently.

Youyou looked at Kelly with a complicated expression. "Teacher Kelly, you really are..."

"Long time no see, Nino, Youyou. This is probably the first time we've met like this."

Kelly met with her two former students in such an almost 'spiritual' manner, and she appeared quite carefree.

She greeted her two students, and when her gaze fell on Youyou, her expression softened with affection:

"... Youyou, thank you for your hard work."

"It's nothing. We volunteered to cover everyone's retreat. Being captured is just because we weren't skilled enough..."

"But your contributions cannot be erased, it's just..." Kelly's expression turned serious, and her tone became more stern:

"Your idea is too radical! To use the Despair Power of Demons to cover the world—how could you even think of such a thing!"

"That was the only solution I could think of at the time..."

"That's just escapism! Besides, if a civilization is forever trapped in a dream, it's no different from death! It's only because the academy has been destroyed, otherwise..."

Otherwise, Kelly would insist that Youyou copy the school rules in the detention room for a whole semester!

However, Kelly couldn't help but sigh when this was mentioned, "Forget it, since Yuan Bai and the others have already stopped you, you might as well just atone for your sins with Dongdong."

"Yes..."

In front of Kelly, Youyou behaved very obediently.

Only Nino, with his innocent, naive eyes still open, raised his hand and asked, "Teacher, so what exactly is Mutant Magic?"

The topic has returned to the beginning.

Kelly's figure flickered, and in the virtual world, she had changed into a black teacher's suit, holding a pointer, and explained to her two students and the 'ordinary person' Fang Ming beside her:

"Mutant Magic, as the name suggests, is a special kind of magic that alters the form of one's own magic. Its origins are complex. The Emotional Force of Magical Creatures after they have formed a contract with them, or the magic extracted from the Nightmare Seed, can all be called Mutant Magic."

"Ms. Kelly, what kind of Mutant Magic do those monsters possess?"

Seeing that Kelly had adopted a teaching posture, Fang Ming cooperatively raised his hand to ask a question.

Kelly said, "The Mutant Magic on the monster comes partly from the Magic Source of the contracted creature and partly from the Nightmare Power of the Demons."

"Clearly, those humans somehow obtained a modified Magical Creatures and extracted Mutant Magic from her..."

Kelly bit her lip as she spoke.
