Big Fish

"You guys are really dedicated! You even caught a big Big Fish for me while I was just going out."

Old Wei looked at the Humanoid Fallen Beast being escorted back by a group of Magical Girl with a complicated expression.

To be fair, this Fallen Beast is quite pitiful.

He had found an opportunity to take revenge on society while the Magical Girl were away, but who knew that the Magical Girl would suddenly decide to have a meal together, which happened to lead him to the very place where he was planning to cause trouble.

Faced with eight Magical Girl, he had no chance to fight back.

"It's not about dedication, it's just a coincidence... I never expected that after causing trouble at the concert and the Cultural Festival, the Liberation Faction would still have the strength to create such a powerful Fallen Beast."

The Knight glanced at the obedient Fallen Beast.

Don't let his honest appearance fool you; he's a genuine Third Rank expert.

In many cities, Third Rank Fallen Beast is already considered a top-tier threat. After all, even in this Our City, before requesting support due to a series of Fallen Beast incidents, there was only one Knight at the Firefly Rank.

Love is outside the norm.

If the Third-Order Fallen Beast had appeared at that time, the Our City would probably have already suffered severe damage.

Not every city can have Lamp-Burning Realm Deng" (a high-ranking official in charge of security) to oversee it. A "Lamp-Lighting Rank " is often responsible for the security of several cities.

"But... Big Fish?"

The Masked Heroine caught the details in Old Wei's words.

Old Wei nodded.

"Yes, it's a Big Fish..."

"He wasn't just a lowly member of the Liberation Faction; he was a cadre."

"Based on the information we've received, he should be one of the men working for the Harvester we arrested earlier... The concert operation and the Cultural Festival operation were all planned by them."

"If these two operations succeed, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"Fortunately, we resolved everything smoothly."

As he said this, Old Wei looked at Ai with some gratitude.

Love responds with a smile.

Without her, even if the concert had succeeded, it would have come at a great cost. Moreover, success built on the sacrifice of a comrade would not have helped the Knight resolve his inner conflict and advance; it might even have plunged Knight into deeper self-blame.

The Cultural Festival goes without saying.

Putting aside the fact that the protagonist's motivation is love, if there were no love, the Knight would never have attacked in his Lamp-Lighting Rank form at this moment.

Old Wei continued speaking.

"After these two operations, the Liberation Faction' power in our Our City has been weakened to the extreme... and this Fallen Beast is clearly their last dance."

"These are Fallen Beast created by combining Negative Energy with the human body, possessing human-like thinking. For ordinary cities, the consequences of such Fallen Beast appearing are immeasurable... because they can think and plan, making them much more difficult to deal with than ordinary Fallen Beast."

"However, since the Negative Crystal that form this combination are not easily produced, encountering them is not an easy thing."

"Such people often have more information about the Liberation Faction, whether it's about the past or Liberation Faction subsequent arrangements... It's even possible that they've planted spies within the Association to facilitate their actions."

Eyeliner?

Upon hearing this word, almost everyone present frowned simultaneously.

Because this is not a good thing.

Although those present were not afraid of any threats, they still had family members with them.

Their true identities are kept secret from the public, but not within the Association, at least not in the eyes of the Association at a certain level.

For example, all the staff at the activity center have seen their true faces.

It wouldn't be difficult to find their families and then threaten them through this method.

Seemingly aware of the girls' concerns, Old Wei reassured everyone.

"Regarding your families... we've had dedicated personnel protecting them since the moment you joined the Association... it's not a waste of resources, after all, the Association isn't short of manpower."

And they're not short of money.

"If any of your family members are in danger, we will know immediately."

Hearing Old Wei say that, everyone finally felt a little relieved.

However, she still had some worries, so she secretly decided to leave some warning signs on Chen Zhou wife when she went home tonight.

"But then, it seems that the things that happened before can be explained?"

Celestial Star thought of a concert.

Back then, the Association's inspections were exceptionally strict.

While Negative Crystal are not easily detected, the sheer number that could be transported in is quite astonishing.

Old Wei nodded.

"Yes."

"We've interrogated the Harvester we arrested before, but we haven't been able to get much information out of them. After all, officials of this level have been brainwashed to a considerable degree."

"Fortunately, you caught another one this time, so we can interrogate him for more information."

Snap!

The Rock Duo gave each other a high five.

"Yay! That was so helpful!"

Although he didn't actually help much, Old Wei didn't mind giving him a compliment.

However, Old Wei's expression quickly turned serious.

"Now that we've shared the good news, it's time to give everyone a heads-up."

"Because of the emergence of love, we have finally received more attention from all sides... We have now learned that the people the Liberation Faction sent here have been completely abandoned, and they will be sending some more people over."

"Those people will hide even deeper."

"I hope you will be more careful when you go out in the future, especially in scenes involving transformation."

"And then there are... people like this cadre who was arrested today; there should be many more in this Our City... They were abandoned by the Liberation Faction, unable to return to normal life, filled with resentment, and seeking revenge against society..."

"In such situations, decisive action is essential."

Hearing Old Wei's serious warning, everyone put away their smiling expressions.

"Don't worry, we know."

With the situation in the Our City unclear, the Rock Duo naturally decided not to linger any longer.

Since it's a neighboring province, they were bound to be affected to some extent. Unlike people in this Our City who have Ai's Dawn Rank around, they said goodbye to everyone and then left in a hurry.

"Ai, Thousand Blades, you should go back and rest early too. You still have school later, don't you?"

The Knight waved to Ai and Thousand Blades.

She blinked once.

"Wait... the auditorium's been blown up, and you still have to go to school? Come on, aren't you supposed to go to school too?"

The Knight looked at Ai with some confusion.

"The auditorium isn't used normally, so if it gets blown up, so be it... Besides, I never said I wasn't going to school... I'll go with Masked Heroine to take the Fallen Beast away, put on its Suppressor, and then I'll go rest."

Ai wiped her face in grief and indignation.

Damn it...
