Alulu Saves Her Mother
While Xu Rou took Alulu running all over the city, Li Xuan had already urgently teleported to the Delusive Badlands and returned to his old trade of construction.
He had the privilege of controlling this space and could edit its structure outside of combat. First, he used floating matter to build a patch of ground, then erected a twelve-story tower on it, placing monsters on each floor from weak to strong. He then summoned Qi Mo and Wu Yan through the consciousness channel, explained the upcoming script to them, and had them enter the Stone Tower as well.
Naturally, there had to be rewards besides monsters, so Alulu would be motivated to keep striving upward. However, the rewards were all produced by the monsters under Li Xuan's command, and whether they would have side effects after use was hard to say.
The final boss guarding the level would get a few extra surprises and twists, letting young Alulu experience the wickedness of human hearts.
Once everything was arranged, Li Xuan could hardly wait to see how his creation would work. He eagerly sent Xu Rou a signal to bring Alulu over, then opened a portal near Xu Rou.
"Big sister, big sister, how much longer are we going to keep running?" Alulu panted as she followed behind Xu Rou. Although they were flying, simply maintaining her balance consumed a certain amount of stamina. The two had already been wandering around the city at night for more than an hour, which was clearly quite a burden for Alulu, whose magic was still weak.
"Almost there, almost there. Look, it's right ahead!"
Having received Li Xuan's instructions, Xu Rou looked around, then suddenly turned and pointed at a pitch-black entrance in a nearby wall.
"Huh? That door is giving off an ominous aura. Could it be a trap?" Alulu asked worriedly.
"Of course it has an ominous aura, because that's the entrance to the enemy's lair. While the enemy is weak, we'll charge in and save your mother!" Xu Rou said, then took the lead and rushed inside.
Alulu was still hesitant, but when she thought of her mother being inside, she could only steel herself and follow.
After passing through the pitch-black portal, Alulu saw a dim world where heaven and earth were indistinguishable. Even the land beneath her feet seemed to float in the void. On that barren ground stood nothing but a single high tower.
"Hehehe, I never expected you to chase me all the way here. Are you tired of living?" Li Xuan emerged from behind the tower, waving more than a dozen tentacles.
"Damn it, he's here too. Little sister, I'll hold this demon back. Take the chance to charge into that tower! Your mother is hidden inside, and so is the power to defeat the demon!" Xu Rou shouted, pointing toward the Stone Tower's entrance.
"Damn it, you even found out my secret? You'll never get in as long as you live!" Li Xuan frantically guarded the entrance.
"Demon, I'll use your skull as a bowl!" Xu Rou gave Alulu no time to react before charging forward in an exaggerated pose, swinging her giant axe.
"Huh? Me?" Alulu looked at the towering Stone Tower, unable to hide her worried expression.
"Don't worry about me, brave maiden! Go create a miracle!" Xu Rou desperately shoved Li Xuan away from the doorway, clashing with him while swinging her giant axe. At the same time, she did not forget to turn back and shout righteously.
"Big sister, hold on! I'll definitely come back to save you!" Seeing that she could hesitate no longer, Alulu could only carry her crystal ball and rush into the Stone Tower.
"Demon, as long as I'm here, you won't stop Miss Alulu!" Xu Rou continued wildly hacking at Li Xuan's tentacles with her giant axe, looking thoroughly engrossed.
"Alright, alright, stop getting so into your role. She's already gone in~" Li Xuan hooked Xu Rou's foot with a tentacle and tripped her straight into his arms.
"Master is so mean, always making me play the role of someone who tricks innocent girls," Xu Rou complained.
"Weren't you having a great time acting too? Come on, let's hide in the secret room at the top of the tower. We can watch a good show from there." Li Xuan wrapped an arm around Xu Rou and flew to the tower's summit, taking a seat in the prearranged audience area. Since there was only one seat, Xu Rou naturally sat on Li Xuan's lap, until the soft seat turned into a hard seat, and the hard seat turned into an outlet.
At this moment, Alulu had already entered the Stone Tower. Its interior was incredibly empty, with simple, rough lines, like a shoddy test model made by a modeler in five minutes. Yet several Slimes really were bouncing around in the center of the tower, and a girl in a dark gold cake dress was tied to a nearby stone pillar—though compared to Alulu's age, she should have been called big sister.
"Help me! Please, save me!" The tied-up big sister immediately cried for help when she saw Alulu.
"Don't be afraid! I'll help you!" Alulu hurriedly fired a beam of starlight from her crystal ball, blasting apart the clustered Slimes, then rushed over to untie the big sister.
"Thank you for helping me. Otherwise, I don't know how long I would have been trapped here. Oh, right, my name is Qi Mo. What's yours?" The big sister stretched her sore, numb limbs and looked gratefully at Alulu.
"My name is Alulu. Are you also a fallen magical girl?" Alulu asked.
"That's right, but how did you know?"
Alulu then roughly explained how she had come here to find her mother. After hearing it, Qi Mo immediately took Alulu's hands. "What a noble goal! The power that demon fears is hidden on the top floor. Let me help you get there! After I regained consciousness, I was tied up by monsters, so I'm still very weak, but I can still use some simple support magic to help you."
Alulu was alone and helpless, so she was glad to have an assistant. She immediately agreed and led Qi Mo up the spiral staircase to the second floor.
The monsters on the second floor were still Slimes, but Alulu had fired three shots of starlight today, and her weak magic had long since been exhausted. Fortunately, Slimes were quite feeble monsters. She charged in with her staff, smashing and stabbing until she finally wiped them all out, though quite a bit of sticky liquid splashed onto her body.
[Challenge complete, time used: 4 minutes 28 seconds] [Reward: 1 Vitality Potion] [Reward item: Sword in the Stone] [Sensitivity Level: LV1]
A lively female voice came from overhead. At the same time, a hidden small room opened, containing a bottle of potion and a sword embedded in a stone nearby.
"Who was that voice... and what the heck is Sensitivity Level? What are these potions and weapons for?" Alulu froze for a moment, completely unable to understand why such strange things were happening.
Qi Mo naturally recognized that voice as Wu Yan's. Thinking that Wu Yan only had to stay at the top of the tower and announce messages according to their master's instructions while she had to accompany the little girl before her through the entire journey, she could not help feeling a little resentful. Still, she dutifully explained, "They're rewards for clearing the level. You get rewards for defeating monsters. Isn't that common sense?"
"Huh? That's common sense in games, right? This is enemy territory, so why would they thoughtfully arrange supplies for us?" Alulu looked at Qi Mo in confusion.
"Don't worry. Your mother is still waiting for you upstairs, isn't she? You need to restore your strength quickly and go save her!" Qi Mo urged.
Just then, Lilika's wails seemed to come from the top of the tower as well. Hearing her mother's voice, Alulu's heart fell into turmoil. She could no longer spare the thought to think further, hurriedly drank the potion, pulled the sword from the stone, and rushed to the third floor.
Sensitivity Level UP! UP! UP!!
The monsters on the third floor were a little stronger, but Alulu's newly acquired sword was incredibly sharp, so she passed through smoothly. Every floor afterward became more difficult, but the reward potions also grew more plentiful and effective. There were potions that restored stamina and magic, as well as ones that healed wounds and strengthened the body and magic. Whenever she encountered a powerful enemy she truly could not defeat, Qi Mo would step in to save her, then they would return to the previous floor to rest before fighting again.
With that help and her determination to save her mother, Alulu fought more bravely with every battle. However, every time she drank a potion, her Sensitivity Level rose by one. At first, she did not think much of it, but when her Sensitivity Level reached LV10, she discovered that being struck by monsters gave her body a faint sense of pleasure.
It was not even a caress, not even contact. How could mere rough attacks make her feel something?
Alulu began to fear the potions. Ignoring Qi Mo's advice, she insisted on advancing to the next floor without drinking one after clearing the sixth floor. However, she was soon beaten badly by the monsters and nearly captured and humiliated.
After several unsuccessful attempts, Alulu could only drink the potion, and her Sensitivity Level immediately shot up to LV20.
This time, her body's sensitivity had begun to affect her movements. Whether she swung her sword or felt the recoil of striking a monster, her body would experience an electric sensation. This was becoming hard for adolescent Alulu to endure, and her heart gradually grew restless.
On the ninth floor, at Sensitivity Level 31, Alulu's skin began reacting to the friction of her clothes.
On the tenth floor, at Sensitivity Level 45, even the flow of air around her made her feel a little happier.
On the eleventh floor, at Sensitivity Level 67, Alulu could no longer move normally. Even the friction caused by swinging her sword once gave her an incomparably intense stimulus, and the worst part was that she had to endure that stimulation while cutting down the monsters before her one sword strike at a time.
When the last monster fell, Alulu had overflowed so badly that the stone floor gleamed as if it had been waxed. She could even hear liquid dripping down the stone stairs to the floor below.
When she thought of how that dripping sound had been caused by her, Alulu felt utterly ashamed. Although she came from the relatively open-minded Ice Sea Kingdom, she had received her education in this comparatively conservative region since childhood. At her noble academy, she had never had the chance to encounter unofficial educational reading material, so she naturally could not accept herself constantly dripping like an unwrung piece of clothing.
The reward chamber had opened. Inside were six large bottles of potion in different colors, as well as a black one-piece school swimsuit.
By now, Alulu was showing signs of dehydration. She knew perfectly well that without the help of these potions, she could never defeat the monsters on the next floor. She could only force herself to step forward and gulp them all down.
[Challenge complete, time used: 39 minutes 47 seconds] [Reward: 1 Advanced Vitality Potion, 1 Advanced Life Potion...] [Reward item: Hero's Armor] [Sensitivity Level: 99]
The prompt sounded overhead again. This time, it sounded closer, and she could even faintly hear echoes from the dome.
"Looks like the next floor is the end. The secret to defeating Master... no, defeating the demon, along with your mother, is hidden there! Hurry and put on this Hero's Armor, then go save the world!" Qi Mo pulled out her phone behind Alulu and emotionally recited the lines Li Xuan had written.
"But... this outfit looks kind of disgusting." Alulu carefully pinched the black one-piece swimsuit between the tips of her thumb and index finger, seemingly trying to minimize the area of contact between it and her body. She could clearly see that the inside of the outfit seemed to be covered in tiny flesh buds that continuously wriggled and secreted sticky liquid. If that thing came directly into contact with her body...
"You're still hesitating? This is Hero's Armor that only the chosen can wear. It can bring out your potential to the greatest extent! Wear it directly against your skin, so you can have enough power to save your mother!" Qi Mo urged from the side.
"Huh? I have to wear it against my skin? That's a little too..." Alulu looked at Qi Mo uneasily. The Hero's Armor before her was simply too distasteful and obviously did not look like anything good. Even setting that aside, her Sensitivity Level had already reached LV99. Simply standing still required considerable willpower. If she wore this outfit and was constantly stimulated from every direction by the flesh buds inside...
Alulu did not dare imagine what she would become then.
However, at that moment, her mother's hysterical scream suddenly came from overhead.
"Ahhh!!! I'm dying, I'm dying! It's too big, I really can't... I'm really going to die! Ah!"
Immediately afterward came the sound of spraying water and a man's wicked laughter. Alulu's heart trembled. The monsters upstairs must be torturing her mother with incredibly cruel methods, to the point that she was crying out in such agony. Compared to her mother's suffering, what did her own pain amount to?
With that thought, Alulu resolutely removed all her clothes and put on the Hero's Armor that could make her stronger.
Then she fainted on the spot.
The tentacles inside the Hero's Armor were more formidable than she had imagined. They sucked and massaged Alulu's body like octopuses, causing violent movements that could be seen even through the outfit. Naturally, that sucking included places that could make her lose herself with just a touch. Even an ordinary woman could not endure such overwhelming stimulation from all directions, much less Alulu, whose Sensitivity Level had already been maxed out.
The enormous pleasure made her faint on the spot. During the time she was unconscious, she had a long dream. She dreamed that she was in hell, wrapped in countless tentacles and endlessly subjected to all kinds of humiliation twenty-four hours a day. When she woke, Alulu found herself lying in a pool of water, with an anxious Qi Mo standing beside her.
"You're finally awake. I replenished some of your water. Please continue challenging the next floor! The final battle is next. I wish you victory!" Qi Mo said, clenching her fist in encouragement.
"Okay, I'll go up now." Alulu used the tip of her sword to support herself as she struggled to stand. Her consciousness was blurry after the continuous climaxes, and she relied entirely on sheer determination to keep moving forward. Fortunately, the tentacles in her outfit seemed to have settled down slightly. That tight, clinging sensation even gave her a sense of security.
"Mother, please hold on a little longer. Your daughter will definitely save you!" Alulu gritted her teeth. Using her sword as a cane, she climbed the stairs one step at a time despite her highly sensitive body.
"I've finally... finally reached this place. No matter what kind of enemy awaits, Alulu will defeat it for you to see!" Wearing the Hero's Armor and wielding the hero's holy sword, Alulu stood on the top floor of the Stone Tower, her body and heart both prepared for battle.
Yet what greeted her was not the powerful monster she had imagined. In the center of the empty hall stood only a... television?
The Clear Reward Is 0721?
Alulu instinctively turned to ask Qi Mo, but Qi Mo had vanished without a trace at some point. Even the passage Alulu had just used to come up was now sealed by a massive boulder.
Could this be a trap?
No matter what, the television before her seemed to be her only clue. Alulu decided to investigate it.
She carefully walked up to the television. Its black screen resembled a dark mirror, reflecting her shameful outfit and her body's honest reaction.
Alulu did not want to see herself like that. She instinctively wanted to flee, but just then, the screen suddenly lit up. The white light filling the screen almost made her think some mobile game was starting up.
Yet what started was not the game she had imagined, but her own mother.
Accompanied by wails that were impossible to tell whether they were pleasure or pain, a pre-recorded high-definition uncensored video began playing on the screen. Alulu stared in shock at her poised and elegant mother, who was wildly twisting her body in the video as she catered to a man pretending to be her teacher.
"Ahhh!!! I'm dying, I'm dying! It's too big, I really can't... I'm really going to die! Ah!"
Lilika screamed hysterically in the video. Her shrill voice echoed endlessly between the stone walls, dealing ten thousand points of critical damage to Alulu's young heart. She could not imagine a woman going so wild, striking such twisted poses, and making such shameless sounds.
"No, this isn't real! It isn't real!" Alulu's eyes widened as she collapsed to her knees.
Her mother was not here at all. There was no item that could defeat the monsters either. There was only a video of her mother being humiliated by monsters!
Alulu could not accept such an ending. She collapsed painfully onto the floor, her obsession shattered like Bi Gan, who realized that one could not live without a heart. The tentacles, shaken by the intense shock, began wriggling from within. Lubricating liquid flowed from the edges of the outfit in stream after stream, slowly spreading forward along the seam between her body and the floor. It gathered at Alulu's outstretched fingertips, then continued onward until it reached the television.
"Snowflakes drift~ the north wind howls~" Li Xuan opened the hidden stone door of the audience area. As he provided background music for Alulu's current mood, he emerged with his arms around the three magical girls who had contributed.
"So everything was a lie? Sister Xu Rou, Sister Qi Mo... was it all just an act?" Seeing the four appear together, Alulu immediately understood everything, and her last trace of hope was extinguished.
She had thought that if she just tried a little harder, she could find salvation. Yet the truth before her told her that all her efforts had been useless. The road had reached its end; no matter how she struggled, it could not extend any farther.
"I'm sorry, Alulu..." Qi Mo seemed to have some psychological trauma from this sort of thing. Her face was full of guilt as she spoke, nothing like Xu Rou, who had no psychological burden at all.
"I said I should play this NPC, but Master insisted my acting was bad and only let me be the narrator," Wu Yan complained.
"Alright, Alulu, I can tell you now. The potions you drank were mixed with trace amounts of Fallen Blood computer parts. They won't turn you completely into a monster, but they will raise your sensitivity to the extreme. Together with that outfit, you're already close to your limit, aren't you? Since you can't escape anyway, you can release yourself without restraint now." Li Xuan laughed loudly after saying this, opened a portal, and left the Stone Tower with the three magical girls.
"I'm sorry, Mother. I couldn't save you." Tears streaming down her face, Alulu turned to look at her mother on the screen. Through her blurred tears, she seemed to replace the woman on the screen with herself. Her fingers began moving involuntarily, and she even summoned her crystal ball and straddled it in search of greater pleasure.
Thinking of how the sacred weapon bestowed upon her by the world was being treated as a little toy filled her with guilt. Yet the casting material before her was simply too useful. Alulu's guilt lasted only a few minutes before she could not help continuing. When the video reached its end and froze on Lilika's dazed expression, Alulu reached the highest point of her life as well.
[Defeat CG unlocked: 0721 Play (I)] [CG elements: 0721 & Despair & Tentacle Outfit] [Experience +1] [Current experience: 32/100]
The system prompt sounded immediately afterward.
"Tch, only one point of experience? A Grade D magical girl gives way too little." Li Xuan complained slightly to his System Bro, then instructed Qi Mo to stay behind and take care of Alulu's daily life. He himself returned to the main world with the secretly taken photos.
At this moment, Lilika was frantically searching for her daughter. Her daughter's phone was out of service range. Lilika had already searched all the places she frequented and called the homes of several close classmates. After ruling out every possibility, she finally became suspicious of that teacher whose behavior had been so strange.
A home visit during summer vacation was clearly somewhat unreasonable, but because her daughter had acknowledged him, Lilika had not thought too much about it. But now that she thought about it, everything seemed unusual. It was only because concern had clouded her judgment that she had failed to consider these things.
Realizing this, Lilika immediately called her daughter's homeroom teacher to verify it. The result was that there was no Teacher Li at all, and the school had no plans for summer home visits.
"Oh no, I got used for free!" Lilika was shocked and furious upon learning this. At this moment, she ignored the fact that she had actually been the one to request physical contact. Subconsciously, she simplified everything into Li Xuan pretending to be a teacher and using her daughter's education to threaten her into sleeping with him.
But why had her daughter acknowledged him as her teacher and admitted to stealing things? Could it be that her daughter had borrowed money from someone to top up a game, then worked with them from inside and outside to sell out her own mother?
No, no, that was far too filial. Even Arthas probably could not do something like that. Alulu had always behaved well, so she was unlikely to do such a thing.
After dismissing that absurd possibility, Lilika quickly thought of her daughter's identity as a magical girl. An answer incredibly close to the truth immediately surfaced in her mind.
Her daughter might have had her mind controlled by monsters! That was why she had done something so absurd. If that inference was true, then her daughter's disappearance was most likely the monsters' doing as well!
Having figured this out, Lilika abandoned the idea of calling the police. She sat on a park bench and took out her phone, preparing to contact a younger member of the Church for help. Yet just then, the culprit behind everything suddenly appeared before her with a smile.
"Madam, hello. We meet again so soon. Now that you're dressed, I almost didn't recognize you," Li Xuan teased.
"Demon, what did you do to my daughter?!"
Enemies meeting made their hatred blaze all the fiercer. The moment Lilika saw Li Xuan, she was so furious that smoke seemed to rise from every orifice, and even her doll-like, silky golden hair stood on end. Being used for free no longer mattered. In her heart, her daughter's safety was more important than the entire world.
Before you continue
