The Demon!
"Has the base been found?"
Luna's way of changing the subject was abrupt, but Lien was willing to play along.
Using both hands and feet, she climbed onto Luna's legs, which were covered in thick stockings. Lien nodded and said:
"Pretty much. That group has already extended their reach into this city. Thanks to their subtle moves, I've pretty much pinpointed their secret lab in N City."
"Tonight, the operation?"
"Sure, but what about that girl in red? She might come back again."
As Lien said this, she suddenly laughed and teased Luna, "If all else fails, you can explain the situation to her and become friends with her, that would be a good idea."
"Magical Girls always needs a trustworthy companion, and I think that guy is pretty good."
"She... is such a hassle..."
Luna's emotions seemed to become more complex when Aurora was mentioned.
Her face showed obvious resistance, and as she lowered her head, several dark lines seemed to appear on her forehead, making the atmosphere seem much more subdued.
For Luna, who is usually introverted, Aurora, who is extroverted and says whatever comes to mind when fighting, is the kind of person she finds most difficult to deal with.
Luna gets a headache every time she encounters Aurora.
It's a real headache.
Luna even began to regret her initial contact with the other person, and the thought of her reasons for doing so made Luna cast a resentful glance at Lien.
"... I don't want to have any contact with her."
"Haha, after all, she became Magical Girls, so I was curious if she had any companions here, so... cough um, but isn't that a good thing? At least you have someone like her now, right?"
Lien laughed awkwardly and offered an explanation.
Luna, whose true personality is socially awkward, doesn't really like interacting with strangers. When she was approaching Aurora, she wouldn't have gone down to greet Aurora if Lien hadn't strongly suggested it.
Little did she know that this greeting would cause Aurora to become attached to her.
"Well--"
Luna let out a long sigh, feeling exhausted and not wanting to say anything more to Lien.
Watching the pigeons at her feet devour the grain she had thrown down, Luna got up to leave.
But the moment they stood up, Luna and Lien both froze, looking in a certain direction in N City.
From a perspective unseen by ordinary people, a black magical power surged and spread across the sky.
This is Mutant Magic!
It seems another Mutant Monster has appeared!
Chapter 216 The Demons!
[Clang]
Aurora pushed open the rusty door, and the petite girl led Fang Ming into her 'secret base' within the Skoll Gang.
Fang Ming followed behind the girl, looking at the furnishings in the warehouse, and asked Aurora with a puzzled expression:
"You... you live in a place like this?"
"Isn't this place nice? This huge space is all mine!"
Aurora was actually quite proud of this.
When she lived with Harvey, she had never lived in such a big house. And most importantly, Aurora built this huge warehouse herself, bit by bit.
This is something she earned through hard work, so what's wrong with being proud of it?
"Your... family...?"
Fang Ming took a moment to organize his thoughts before asking about Aurora's family.
He had already guessed that since Aurora lived alone in such a place, it was unlikely that she had a family, but Fang Ming still didn't want to think in that direction.
But reality dealt him a heavy blow.
They're all dead.
Aurora slumped onto an old sofa in the warehouse, put her hands behind her head, and casually said:
"Now that I'm all alone, you don't need to worry about anyone causing trouble for you."
"It's not safe for you to be here alone... aren't you?"
"Hey sir, don't underestimate me! I'm tough! Nobody dares to mess with me around here!"
Aurora patted her barren chest loudly, looking at Fang Ming with the air of a cub saying, "Don't look down on me."
Aurora had a lot of freedom working as a henchman for the Skoll Gang. Although she was very capable, due to her personality, gender, and age, she always worked alone.
Even if someone knew where Aurora lived, no one would come looking for her.
Although in the two months before she moved into the warehouse, there were indeed a few perverted pedophiles who tried to break into the warehouse and take advantage of her.
But thanks to Kelly and the magic Kelly set up, Aurora was able to deal with all of them without any trouble, and then Aurora them into the ocean outside N City.
Aurora didn't care whether they were still alive.
If they survive, they're lucky; if they die, it's none of Aurora's business, since her job is simply to throw these large, non-combustible pieces of trash into the ocean.
Because of this experience, the area around the warehouse is so quiet, and no one dares to cause trouble for Aurora.
"..."
But in the end, you are alone.
Fang Ming's worries about Aurora reached their peak.
He's not the kind of pushover who'll help anyone; he only helps those he can meet.
For example, Dongdong, and Aurora in front of us.
Just by looking at Aurora's nonchalant expression, Fang Ming knew that if he simply said, "I'll help you," Aurora definitely wouldn't accept.
They might even suspect that Fang Ming's motives were not pure.
But... I remember Aurora wanted Fang Ming to be her martial arts instructor?
His thoughts raced. Fang Ming casually sat down on another old sofa in the warehouse and said seriously:
"Let's talk about teaching you martial arts instead."
"Oh! Uncle, you're willing to teach me now?"
"... First of all, I'm only twenty-three years old, not much older than you, so you don't need to call me 'uncle.' Secondly... if I really wanted to teach you, you should call me 'coach.'"
Hearing Aurora's extremely impolite way of addressing him, Fang Ming looked quite helpless.
But Aurora didn't care about any of that. She got up from the sofa, sat cross-legged, and let her long, frizzy blonde hair fall casually over her shoulders before tossing it behind her back with her hand.
Then Aurora gripped her ankle in that position, her crimson eyes shining brightly as she looked at Fang Ming:
"You can call me whatever you want! I just want to ask you, sir, what can you teach me?"
"Not an older man..."
Fang Ming stared blankly at Aurora, then sighed in resignation and said:
"My expertise lies in Eastern martial arts and Sanda, as well as military combat techniques derived from the military. However, learning these can be very tiring, so you'd better be really prepared."
"Eastern martial arts!" Aurora immediately jumped up from the sofa. "I want to learn this!!!"
But after shouting that, Aurora seemed to remember something and immediately added, "No, I want to learn all of these! You have to teach me!"
"Leaving aside whether you can even learn Western Capital of this... let's talk about the price, how are you going to pay?"
"Huh...?"
Aurora's expression froze.
Fang Ming narrowed his eyes. "You... you don't actually want me to teach you for free, do you?"
"..."
Aurora's smile vanished, and she turned her gaze to the side. Standing barefoot on the sofa, arms crossed, she whistled a barely audible tune and retorted:
"Of course not! I know the principle of cash on delivery! I... I can definitely come up with the money! Just tell me how much you want!"
Aurora, who had initially felt a little guilty, became firm again by the end of her speech.
She then remembered that she had indeed earned a considerable amount of money while 'working' for the Skoll Gang over the past few months. Although most of that money had been used to buy all sorts of odds and ends in the warehouse, she still had a fair amount left.
Hiring a combat coach should be more than enough... right?
Aurora lacked self-confidence.
Fang Ming noticed the blonde girl's guilty look. He only glanced around the warehouse and was enough to guess that Aurora's wallet wasn't exactly 'full'.
Because he wasn't entirely comfortable with Aurora, Fang Ming was planning to just offer a random price and establish basic contact with Aurora first.
But before she could finish speaking, Aurora abruptly turned her head to the side.
Through the window, the sight of black magic shooting straight into the sky was reflected in her crimson pupils.
At the same moment, Aurora also sensed that immense Mutant Magic!
And this Mutant Magic is very close to her!
(Luna doesn't seem to like Aurora very much www)
(This is what happens when Person I meets Person E www)
(Aurora lives here now? Wait, isn't that the sofa her cousin sat on in the opening sequence?)
(It seems so, the background is similar too, I get it, my cousin is going to live with Aurora from now on!)
(Fang Ming, you deserve to die! *N)
(Jealousy Bro has multiplied!)
(My cousin knows a lot of things, but why would a writer like him need to learn so many martial arts?)
(I don't know, maybe he really is some retired special forces elite...)
The viewers in the live chat thought that Fang Ming cousin on the Sky Screen, knew a lot of martial arts, but in reality, Fang Ming actually knew even more fighting techniques!
It can be said that he knows most of the fighting styles in the world. The weakest fighting style is at least LV2 level. His strongest fighting style is 'Fang Style Combat Technique', which is based on Eastern martial arts and mixed with fighting techniques from Karate, Sanda and other fighting styles!
This is one of Fang Ming's rare LV4 level skills.
But Fang Ming on the Sky Screen didn't say much, he only mentioned a few skills.
This means that... many of the skills used to combat the erosion and burning last time were indeed level 3 combat skills.
In other words, Fang Ming on the Sky Screen is currently a weakened version.
It's unclear when a full recovery will be possible.
However, Xiao Bai wasn't worried about Fang Ming on the Sky Screen. As long as his fighting skills were good enough, he could always learn them again in the future.
What Xiao Bai is more worried about is the Mutant Magic that soars into the Sky Screen!
This has never happened in real life!
"Sky Screen... Hmm, perhaps the people behind the scenes are more unscrupulous and daring because they haven't been exposed?"
Kelly offered her speculation.
Xiao Bai nodded. "Then perhaps we can find clues related to them in the Sky Screen."
This is why Xiao Bai is now scrutinizing every single detail in the Sky Screen.
Unlike villains in real life, the villains in Sky Screen didn't reveal their true colors long before the third season.
The villains in the Sky Screen were mysterious and unknown to Aurora and the other Magical Girls.
They were also unaware that, besides Aurora and Luna, there were other Magical Girls in the world.
That's why they can recklessly spread monsters implanted with Mutant Magic throughout the Americas District.
Therefore, it is not surprising that an extremely large amount of Mutant Magic has appeared in N City under the Sky Screen.
Xiao Bai could use this method to obtain more clues about the villain behind the scenes.
The appearance of the Mutant Magic made Aurora realize that now was not the time to continue chatting.
