[? Please happily collect magical girls and become a villain who does every evil deed! ?] [Current Level: LV1] [Experience Required to Level Up: 0/3] [Number Collected: 0] [Number of CGs Unlocked: 0] [Basic Skills Unlocked: Hunting Radar, Dark Pact (Grade D)]
As Li Xuan walked down the street, an interface like this suddenly appeared out of thin air before his eyes.
"Is this... a cheat ability? After all these years since transmigrating, the system finally remembered to give me some hacks?" Li Xuan looked around. The street was crowded with passersby, yet no one reacted at all. Clearly, they could not see the interface in front of him.
"Magical Girl Collection System? So this world really does have magical girls!" Li Xuan's eyes lit up. He quickly found a place to sit, took out his phone, and pretended to read a webnovel while studying the system before him.
When Li Xuan focused on the system's title, a small window immediately popped up on the interface, explaining the system in detail.
[Magical Girl Collection System] [Leveling up grants enhancements and unlocks new skills] [Current method of gaining experience: Defeat magical girls and collect their defeat CGs]
"Hiss, this system doesn't seem very proper. I like it!" Li Xuan grinned knowingly, then continued examining his two skills.
[Hunting Radar: Searches for magical girls within a certain range and obtains the target's basic information; can mark up to three magical girls, allowing their locations to be continuously tracked afterward] [Dark Pact: Infuses Evil Energy into the body. While active, it grants the effect of Cognitive Obstruction, preventing others from recognizing one's true identity]
The two skills looked pretty good. One was for locating enemies, the other for combat—a perfect combination.
Injecting Evil Energy into his body sounded somewhat dangerous, but he was only a coffee shop owner. His combat ability was practically nonexistent. Without the system, what could he use to deal with magical girls? He could not exactly pick up a brick and charge in, could he?
At that thought, Li Xuan could no longer suppress his curiosity and tried activating Dark Pact.
A powerful force immediately flooded into his body. The energy was so intense that Li Xuan's body could barely contain it, and the excess spilled outward, cracking the ground around him.
[Grade D Evil Energy acquired] [Cognitive Obstruction effect activated]
Li Xuan had not expected such a huge commotion. He hurriedly tried to withdraw the Evil Energy, but he was still unfamiliar with the power. After fumbling around, he not only released a great deal of black mist, but several tentacles also sprouted from his body, making him look even more terrifying.
Pedestrians on the street stared at Li Xuan in shock, seemingly unable to process what had happened.
"Everyone, don't panic. As someone in the food service industry, it's perfectly reasonable for me to carry a few squid around..." Li Xuan explained as if nothing were wrong.
"Monster!"
No one knew who shouted first, but the crowd finally snapped out of it and scattered in every direction. In moments, Li Xuan was the only one left on the once-bustling street.
"Uh... looks like I messed up. I should've tested this somewhere more secluded." Just as Li Xuan stood there awkwardly, the Hunting Radar suddenly reacted.
[Magical girl detected nearby] [Distance: 49 meters, 38 meters, 25 meters...] [Detailed information can be displayed after visual lock-on]
"So close?" Li Xuan turned to look around. On the road to the south, a girl was striding quickly toward him. She had long teal hair, fair skin, and a straight, graceful figure. Her petite yet exquisite features carried a heroic air.
She wore a one-piece blue-and-white short dress, her outfit clean and practical. It seemed a little plain for a magical girl, but on her, it gave off an especially cool and aloof aura.
She wore knee-high boots, with a ring of white socks visible above their tops, wrapping neatly around her calves. Her weapon was a long-handled Moonblade Axe, longer than she was tall. The powerful axe formed a striking contrast with her slender figure.
"I sensed the presence of Evil Energy and rushed over. Sure enough, I found a monster—and a rare humanoid one at that." Xu Rou looked at Li Xuan with icy killing intent, as though blades were stabbing into his body.
Li Xuan also fixed his eyes on the girl before him as a string of notifications rang out in his mind.
[Magical girl locked on] [Name: Xu Rou] [Magic Power Level: Grade C+] [Type: Battle Type] [Height: 167 cm] [CUP Level: Grade B] [...]
Li Xuan could not be bothered to listen to the rest of the body measurements. Compared to the system's cold announcements, he would rather confirm those things with his own eyes and hands.
"Heh heh, instead of running away like everyone else, you came toward me?" Li Xuan laughed in the voice of an anime villain.
"If I don't get closer, how am I supposed to kill you?" Xu Rou said, swinging the Moonblade Axe down at Li Xuan without mercy.
Xu Rou was simply too fast. If the tentacles had not blocked the strike, that axe might have left him as confused as some blonde upperclassman.
Seeing Xu Rou already coming at him again, Li Xuan had no time to complain about why a magical girl had gone straight into melee combat. He quickly fired Evil Energy from his palm to counterattack.
However, his use of Evil Energy was still at the instinctive stage. His attacks were straightforward and crude, so Xu Rou easily dodged or deflected them. Meanwhile, her fierce yet agile attacks left him utterly miserable.
After several tentacles were severed in succession, Li Xuan frowned. His strength was clearly inferior to hers. If this continued, forget collecting magical girls—even keeping his life would be difficult.
It seemed he had to use some extraordinary measures.
Li Xuan fought while observing his surroundings. Suddenly, he noticed a young girl lying fallen on the ground by the roadside. She seemed too terrified to move.
Generally speaking, magical girls were on the side of justice. They would definitely protect the weak, right? If so, perhaps he could use that to win.
With that in mind, Li Xuan suddenly retreated several steps and spewed out a large cloud of black mist, blocking Xu Rou's vision. Taking the opportunity, he stretched out a tentacle and grabbed the girl.
"You think such a little trick can stop me? Die, monster!"
Xu Rou had already rushed out of the black mist and found Li Xuan again. She swung her axe and charged forward to cut him in two, but Li Xuan immediately used his tentacles to hold the innocent girl in front of himself. Xu Rou was startled and could only forcibly stop the axe halfway through its swing.
"Go on, chop. Why did you stop?" Li Xuan enjoyed the expression on Xu Rou's face. She clearly wanted to split him in half with one blow, yet did not dare act. He felt as good as finding a hundred bucks under his bed while cleaning.
It seemed magical girls really did care about ordinary people's lives. That meant the initiative was now in his hands.
"Despicable! Shameless! You resort to such dirty tricks because you can't win!" Xu Rou glared at Li Xuan through gritted teeth. She had already held the advantage. If they kept fighting, she would have won. Besides, her two partners would also come to support her once they sensed the Evil Energy. Yet Li Xuan had suddenly pulled this stunt—weren't monsters supposed to be stupid, acting only on instinct? Why was he using strategy too?
"Thank you for the compliment." Seeing Xu Rou's furious expression, Li Xuan's brows rose slightly. "Little girl, you don't want this girl to die, do you? Then put down your weapon and surrender to me. In exchange, I can spare her."
Li Xuan's shameless attitude made Xu Rou want to split him open with her axe. She knew very well that the wisest choice now was to disregard the girl's life and kill the monster in front of her. Otherwise, if she allowed him to escape, how many more people would be harmed in the future?
However, as a magical girl who brought love and hope to the world, making such a choice would itself be a serious betrayal of her principles. She knew she could never cross that line.
"Don't try to stall for time. If you don't make a decision within one minute, I'll kill her. It doesn't cost me anything, anyway. At worst, we keep fighting." As Li Xuan spoke, he pressed the tip of a tentacle against the girl's forehead.
With the power of his tentacles, piercing the girl's skull would be effortless. From their battle just now, Li Xuan believed Xu Rou understood that as well. As long as she still cared about the girl's life, she would not dare make any rash moves.
"You think I'd believe a monster's words? Even if I surrender, you'll still kill her. Besides, my goal is to eliminate you. What does this girl's life have to do with me?" Though Xu Rou claimed not to care whether the girl lived or died, her gaze remained fixed on Li Xuan's tentacle, as if searching for an opening to save her.
Naturally, Li Xuan saw through that little thought.
Defeat Means Accepting Punishment
"Ten seconds have already passed. Do you think reality is like anime, where talking automatically stops time?" Li Xuan smiled unhurriedly.
Yet at that moment, the girl, who seemed to have been scared stiff, suddenly appeared to make up her mind and shouted at Xu Rou.
"Big sister! Don't worry about me, hurry up and do it!"
Hearing that somewhat familiar voice, Xu Rou froze. She carefully studied the girl's face and suddenly remembered.
About two months ago, she had saved this girl during a monster attack. The girl's smile after surviving the disaster still lingered vividly in her mind.
Hadn't she become a magical girl precisely to protect such pure and beautiful smiles? If so, how could she watch a child she had once protected die right before her eyes?
"Don't be stupid! I'll find a way to save you!" Xu Rou looked anxiously at Li Xuan. She was faster than him, but the tentacle was only a few centimeters from the girl's forehead. Even if she were several times faster, she could not save the girl before he reacted.
"I know big sister doesn't dare attack because of me. I'm your fan, big sister! I won't hold you back at a time like this! So you have to do your best! Go, magical big sister!" After shouting that, the girl bit down hard on Li Xuan's tentacle with the resolve to die.
However, the tentacle looked soft but was actually incredibly tough. The girl felt as if she had bitten into a car tire and nearly broke her still-developing teeth. Her attempt to provoke Li Xuan into killing her had completely failed.
"Heh, now you really can't attack, can you? Your little fan has been such a big help." Li Xuan laughed as he stuffed the tentacle into the girl's mouth and injected some of the red hypnotic fluid it secreted, quickly putting her to sleep.
"Damn it..." Xu Rou clenched the handle of her axe as fierce conflict filled her heart.
At this point, it was impossible for her to abandon the girl's life. However, she had also heard what happened to magical girls who fell into the hands of monsters. Dying quickly and cleanly was already considered fortunate; most suffered endless humiliation and torment until both body and mind were completely broken.
"One minute is up. Your little fan is about to die right in front of you." Li Xuan pulled the tentacle back a few centimeters, making it look ready to strike.
"Stop! I... I surrender! Just don't hurt her." Xu Rou's voice trembled.
The Moonblade Axe clattered to the ground. Xu Rou ultimately could not go against her conscience and chose to submit to Li Xuan.
"Good. Now turn around and raise your hands high, like a French military salute." Li Xuan ordered.
"Release that girl first!" Xu Rou stared at Li Xuan suspiciously.
"You're in no position to negotiate with me. Only if you do as I say can I guarantee she won't be harmed." Li Xuan threatened again.
Thinking of the girl's safety, Xu Rou did not dare resist any longer. She could only turn around helplessly, raising her slender arms high with her back to Li Xuan.
Since childhood, she had been considered a role model. Whether in grades or appearance, she stood out among her peers. The pride brought by that excellence, combined with her naturally aloof personality, made her an untouchable flower on a high mountain in the eyes of others. Yet now, she had to obey a monster weaker than herself. What a humiliation that was.
"Hmph, you still look pretty unwilling. Just wait—you'll suffer soon enough." Li Xuan sneered. A blast of Evil Energy sent Xu Rou's weapon flying into the distance, then he extended his tentacles and bound her tightly.
The sticky sensation made Xu Rou struggle desperately. She noticed the tentacles trying to pry open her mouth and knew he wanted to pour that sleep-inducing liquid into her too. She clenched her teeth tightly, refusing to let the tentacles enter her mouth no matter what.
As someone focused on speed and technique, she was naturally no match for Li Xuan's tentacles in terms of strength. Still, her constant struggle caused him considerable trouble. Fortunately, the mouth was not the only mucous membrane capable of absorbing liquid, and Li Xuan eventually succeeded in putting Xu Rou to sleep.
When Xu Rou woke up, she found herself in a dark basement, still bound all over by tentacles. The girl Li Xuan had previously used as a hostage lay on a mattress opposite her, still asleep.
"You despicable bastard! Didn't you promise that you'd let her go as long as I listened to you?" Xu Rou glared furiously at Li Xuan, who sat nearby, her eyes seeming ready to burst into flames.
"I said I'd let her go, but I never said when. You're so capable—don't let your guard down so easily." Li Xuan smiled, stuffed a teddy bear into the girl's arms, then used wide tape to bind her to the mattress.
"Shameless..."
"I'm saying, you should try some fresher words. Those same old lines don't have much bite."
"Pervert..." Xu Rou wanted to curse Li Xuan viciously, but having grown up in a pure and sheltered environment, she truly could not think of any filthier words.
"Fine, fine. I won't force you. Anyway, there's a bit of Evil Energy inside that teddy bear. I can detonate it with a thought at any time. In other words, her life is in my hands, so I advise you not to try anything." As Li Xuan spoke, he set up a camera capable of taking pictures in dim light in front of Xu Rou.
"Guh, just kill me!" Xu Rou turned her face away from the lens.
Although magical girls were protected by Cognitive Obstruction, meaning ordinary people could not recognize them from images or voices after transformation, the thought of herself being recorded while bound by tentacles—and perhaps even having the footage spread online—made Xu Rou so ashamed she wanted to crawl into a crack in the ground.
"That won't do. If you get caught, you have to be properly played with. That's part of a magical girl's career too." Li Xuan frivolously lifted Xu Rou's chin, forcing her to meet his gaze.
"You dog bastard, kill me if you want! Stop wasting time!" Xu Rou racked her brain and finally found an insult, hoping to anger Li Xuan enough to make him kill her.
"Heh heh, keep cursing. When you beg for mercy later, I'll enjoy it even more." Li Xuan grinned wickedly and extended more tentacles. Amid Xu Rou's startled cries, he suspended her upside down, slipping the tentacles through the gaps in her clothes and letting them roam back and forth across her skin.
With her movements restricted by the tentacles, Xu Rou could only squeeze her legs together as hard as she could, trying to protect her chastity.
However, as the tentacles secreted more fluid, Xu Rou felt her body becoming damp and sticky. Her strength was also draining away from her constant struggle, and she could no longer keep her legs fully closed. The tentacles seized the chance to slip between her thighs, breaking down the resistance of her legs. She wanted to cry out for help, but the moment she opened her mouth, a tentacle filled it.
Anyone, please... save me!
Xu Rou thought in despair.
"Heh heh, magical girls and tentacles really are a perfect match."
Li Xuan pulled apart Xu Rou's limbs and controlled the tentacles as they explored her body inch by inch. Yet whenever Xu Rou felt unbearably hot all over, as though she were about to reach a peak, he deliberately made the tentacles stop for a while.
Several times, Xu Rou felt as though she was about to reach the first great peak of her life, but Li Xuan's teasing always stopped just short. That feeling of always being one step away nearly drove Xu Rou mad. She wanted to beg for mercy, but quickly realized how humiliating the words about to leave her mouth would be, so she could only force herself to endure.
Just as Xu Rou's mind was on the verge of collapse, the system notification finally appeared.
[Defeat CG unlocked: Tentacle Play I] [CG Elements: Tentacles & Bondage & Edging] [Experience +3] [Current Experience: 0/10] [Level increased to LV2] [Dark Pact upgraded to: Grade D+] [New skill unlocked: Fallen Blood]
"Whew, that really was hard work. Looks like collecting magical girls isn't easy either. The system only needs to give me skills, but I have so much to consider." Li Xuan wiped away his sweat with satisfaction as he looked at the newly added CG, then checked the skill he had just received.
[Fallen Blood: The holder may consume Evil Energy to create Fallen Blood. Fallen Blood can be used to create monsters; creatures that directly drink Fallen Blood have a chance of transforming into monsters. Monsters created or transformed in this way will regard the skill holder as their master. (Transformation difficulty depends on the system level and the transformed target's willpower)]
