Witch Association extermination operation: Outer ring of the Beihai demon nest (six thousand

"How was my rescue?"

After coming out of the house, I saw Bingtang grinning mischievously.

"Save whom?" Jiang Si tilted her head and glanced back. " Susan?"

"I... I... I'd better save myself."

The girl playfully scolded him, then naturally took his arm. "Oh dear, I want to compete with Shion for Jiang Si too!"

Jiang Si habitually gave it a push, "Are you very free?"

"Just kidding." Bingtang didn't let go, but simply linked arms with Jiang Si and pulled him forward. As long as she didn't let go, Jiang Si wouldn't really push her away forcefully; it had been like this for the past three years. "Anyway, let's go back to the sect first and give your gifts to Yumo and the others..."

I was going to say a little more about the arrangements for An Shiyu's key, but then Bingtang suddenly overheard the neighbors gossiping.

"What's going on? This guy's changed girlfriends again. Did he dump all the ones from last time? He's really going for it..."

" Jiang Family's son is quite something, bringing girls home every day. This time he's hooked up with two, each one more beautiful than the last. What a waste! My son would be so lucky to have one of them. He's always so jealous at home, asking me how I'm inferior to this Jiang Si kid."

"You're kidding me. With your son's looks, no one would even look at him."

"Go away, your son is the same."

"You know, how come this guy can keep both girls so well-behaved when they're together? My son, on the other hand, would cause a complete mess at home if he had any girls..."

"Some are dying of drought, others are dying of floods. I wonder if this kid is going to ask Heavenly Deity to descend to earth and sleep with four people at once..."

She brushed a strand of hair behind her ear; for a moment, Bingtang had forgotten what she was about to say.

Jiang Si seemed to sense something as well, and glanced at her sideways. "Why aren't you saying anything?"

No, I heard others say I'm very well-behaved.

Bingtang Tang pursed her lips and smiled gently. "I was wondering, am I very well-behaved?"

"Oh, indeed."

"So that's what you all think, but I will never give up what belongs to me."

Jiang Si nodded. "Of course, such a rare and precious place should belong to the virtuous."

"Hehe." Bingtang Tang tightened her grip a little more. "You said it yourself."

Walking confidently down the street, the two girls, each arm in arm with a boy like lovers, naturally attracted countless glances.

Bingtang, however, remained calm and unperturbed, ignoring the curious or envious glances, and said softly:

"Leave the rest to me."

To become friends.

An Shiyu was genuinely sincere.

For a girl who had lived in an orphanage and had little contact with people afterward.

She doesn't have many relationships.

She had indeed fantasized about having a lover, but if you asked her what constituted a lover...

In fact, An Shiyu herself couldn't explain it clearly.

She simply believed that becoming lovers meant they could be together forever and live like family.

What is a true lover?

What are the boundaries in a romantic relationship?

What are my true feelings?

What is the distance between lovers and friends?

What is the feeling of wanting to depend on someone?

as well as...

What should lovers do?

She only had a vague idea.

She wouldn't express her feelings, and could only try her best to get along with them as friends, whether it was Shion or Jiang Si.

But to what extent can friends go?

While lost in thought, Keke got up and rummaged through the refrigerator. Finding that there weren't many vegetables left, she said she was going to go buy some.

Susan then went with her.

The once lively living room was suddenly left with only An Shiyu and Li Yi.

Although it was a little awkward, seeing Li Yi's silence, An Shiyu still decided to take the initiative to improve their relationship.

Make more friends.

He got up and filled Li Yi's teacup with water, then said formally, "Miss Li Yi, I have some things I'd like to ask you, is that alright?"

Li Yi was still commemorating her sister's spirit when An Shiyu's sudden question startled her for a moment, but she quickly picked up her teacup and said, "I know, you want to ask about Shion, right?"

"Uh... I am indeed very curious, Miss Shion."

"The strongest magical girl in the Beihai," Li Yi said with a complicated tone. "You've seen it yourself, she's very beautiful, and her strength is also the strongest. I can't imagine anyone being her match right now. Perhaps it would be Full Bloom magical girl at her peak."

As a novice magical girl who had just started learning, An Shiyu showed an admiring expression, "Wow, that's amazing!"

"Not only that, the largest magical girl organization in Beihai is actually the Azure Cloud Sect, which is also under her command."

An Shiyu's eyes widened. "Then, what about the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau? Isn't the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau an official magical girl organization?"

"Uh, for various reasons," Li Yi coughed, "We plan to support the Azure Cloud Sect to become the largest magical girl organization in the Beihai."

The new magical girl was filled with amazement and admiration. "So magical girls can do this! I thought magical girls could only join official organizations. Could I join the Azure Cloud Sect too...?"

"Don't think like that. A new magical girl like you would be better off joining the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau."

Li Yi recalled the slander and defamation she had made against the Azure Cloud Sect when she first found Keke, and she couldn't bring herself to say it now...

"A magical girl who isn't powerful can't join the Azure Cloud Sect!"

Although somewhat disappointed, An Shiyu nodded, "Well, I'll study at the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau for now, and we'll talk about it later."

No, why use the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau as a stepping stone? -- It seems Keke thought the same thing back then.

When will our Disaster Countermeasures Bureau be able to stand up again...?

Thinking this to herself, Li Yi sighed, "Anyway, that's how it is. The perfect magical girl, the strongest magical girl, petite and ruthless, a magical girl of natural disasters."

"No matter what you call her, you can't win if you treat her as an opponent."

"Luckily, we're not enemies."

Hearing An Shiyu's exclamation, Li Yi was also taken aback.

These words then resonated in my mind.

Yes, thankfully we're not enemies.

If it were an enemy, the Beihai Disaster Countermeasures Bureau would probably be gone by now.

Therefore, Li Yi said, "However, she is actually a very gentle person."

Aside from her older sister.

Even so, it was still quite gentle; otherwise, most of the people in Beihai would probably be dead.

"Of course, they'll be very cruel to villains like the Witch Association."

Including the older sister.

Although it was cruel beyond words, there was nothing that could be said.

After all, it was the execution of justice...

So, it's not impossible to be friends with her.

An Shiyu listened from the side, nodding repeatedly, and poured her another glass of water.

He adopted a very humble posture, like a good student asking a teacher for advice, and even took out paper and pen to write down what she said.

Regardless, Li Yi's experience was still very good.

After all, she had never experienced being a teacher before.

"Senior Na Li Yi."

An Shiyu asked respectfully:

"If we become friends, to what extent can we go?"

Li Yi on the other end seemed to be taken aback for a moment, not expecting the other party to suddenly ask about this. After thinking for a moment, she replied:

"Friends, if the relationship is good enough, are almost like family."

"Family?"

"Um."

Li Yi said this, but in fact she has many friends.

Many of her classmates at school are her friends, and they worry about her life and safety.

Since her sister passed away, her classmates and teachers have taken good care of her and offered her special comfort.

Li Yi was very grateful to them and liked them very much as a friend.

However, we have a good relationship.

Li Yi felt it was still far from being considered high enough.

Aside from school, we hardly have any contact outside of school. We might occasionally walk home together after school, but that's about it.

No one knew her identity, no one knew her family situation, and no one could help her.

In reality, Li Yi's only true close friend is Keke.

Know all her secrets, work with her, and protect her in the face of her parents' accusations.

Keke is her best friend.

"If they're close friends, you can joke around freely. It's okay if you live together, swap clothes, sleep together at night, chat, and share your experiences and the works you've seen."

Thinking of Keke, Li Yi couldn't help but smile.

Being with Keke brings Li Yi a lot of happy moments, and she enjoys spending time with Keke.

Of course, her rapid Keke sometimes made her feel uneasy and inferior.

Back when I was a magical girl, I was nowhere near as good as Keke...

Even with these feelings, Keke would comfort her.

"Because I now possess the power of both myself and Yiyi, of course I'll be stronger!"

Regardless, although I sometimes feel uneasy, I wonder if it's a bad thing that this unease Keke so quickly.

Li Yi never felt jealous that Keke stronger so quickly.

She felt genuine pride and joy, hoping that Coco Keke become stronger and become a pillar of the Beihai Disaster Countermeasures Bureau.

However, if things continue like this, sooner or later Keke won't be able to stay by his side.

The headquarters will gather such powerful magical girls for special training to obtain the Mental Image Domain. Then, there will be more dangerous places that Keke will need to help save.

While the Bureau of Administration doesn't impose any mandatory requirements on magical girls, and Keke could refuse, how could she, as a magical girl, stand by and watch others fall into danger?

The difference in strength will eventually become an insurmountable chasm between the two.

Thinking about this, Li Yi felt a little anxious. If only she could become a magical girl again.

That way, I can stay by Keke's side forever.

A lot was on my mind at that moment, until An Shiyu, who was deep in thought beside me, spoke up:

"So, between friends, hugging and kissing shouldn't be a problem, right?"

After a moment's hesitation, Li Yi pondered the meaning behind the other person's words, but still nodded, "Of course, if you're good friends, hugging and cuddling is perfectly normal."

She remembered how Keke had comforted her when she was sad not long ago, and then she saw An Shiyu quickly taking notes.

"I see. Hugging and cuddling are fine, so holding hands is also within the safe range."

Muttering to herself, An Shiyu asked again, "Then, does kissing count as being within the scope of friendship?"

"How can kissing be..."

Li Yi hesitated for a moment, then said, "We'll see. If the atmosphere is right, even if we're just friends, a kiss shouldn't be a problem."

An Shiyu then wrote it down again, "I see. Kissing depends on the atmosphere; it's quite difficult and not within the scope of everyday contact."

After thinking for a moment, An Shiyu asked softly, "What about a princess carry?"

Li Yi coughed, thought for a moment, and then replied softly, "Between friends, it should be okay, right?"

The girl smiled happily, "Yes, that's great! A princess carry is normal behavior between friends..."

Well.

Looking at the elated An Shiyu, Li Yi felt a pang of guilt.

But I wasn't wrong, was I?

After glancing at the friend request message, Li Yi took a deep breath.

He became friends with Jiang Si.

Then let him carry you in a princess carry...

She quickly shook her head and pinched her burning earlobes.

What are you thinking about, you idiot!

"Friends cutting each other's nails, cleaning each other's ears, and using their laps as pillows..."

"Anything is fine!"

"How many stars of pursuit from the Azure Cloud Sect can you escape?"

After a few days apart, the Shuangsheng discovered that the Witch Association seemed to have developed a new way of playing.

Although the major Witch Association in East China have all been dealt with, everyone knows that...

Witch Association n't that fragile.

There are also many small-scale Witch Association active.

These members included down-on-their-luck individuals, traitors dissatisfied with the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau, and simply inhumane individuals.

Under the control of the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau, ordinary gangs and illegal industries are not allowed to exist.

Because it will promote the birth of Calamity Beast.

Any large-scale illegal organization will inevitably generate large-scale negative emotions, which is something the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau absolutely cannot allow.

Without the backing of supernatural forces like the Witch Association that oppose the government, any gang or organization could be easily dealt with by a single magical girl.

That's exactly what the three magical girls from the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau did. They spent two days dismantling all the gangs and illegal organizations in the local city. Plus, with the magical girls' ability to erase ordinary people's memories, there wasn't even a risk of exposure.

Therefore, apart from forces like the Calamity Beast and the Witch Association, most cities do not have any security problems.

This also meant that those who wanted to find alternative paths had no choice but to seek connections with the Witch Association and others.

Therefore, small-scale Witch Association are indispensable, not to mention members of the Witch Association who are not doing well in other regions and have wandered over here.

For the members of the Witch Association, escaping the control of the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau was not a difficult task.

After all, what kind of the Witch Association a member be if they couldn't even escape the control of the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau?

Go home and have your milk.

Therefore, the Witch Association an even greater challenge.

They evaded the pursuit of the Azure Cloud Sect.

This project started to emerge after the captain's death; some people were curious how someone as strong as the captain could have died so quickly.

After Chilian was also killed, the project began to spread.

Then there was the death of the Honghe in Hulin City, which was also confirmed to be the work of the Azure Cloud Sect.

Verifier: Shuangsheng.

Now, the Azure Cloud Sect's reputation has soared within the Witch Association.

Many members of the Witch Association were eager to try this project.

Not long ago, after news of the Mental Image Remnants spread internally, the number of places available for entry into the Mental Image Remnants became limited.

The Witch Association's Guild leaders, having gone this far, decided to turn the challenge of escaping the Azure Cloud Sect's pursuit into a trial for vying for a spot inside the Mental Image Remnants.

So now, the Shuangsheng ' entertainment consists of watching the live streams of these Witch Association members' challenges.

Indeed, challenging the Azure Cloud Sect's pursuit has become a popular live-streaming activity within the Witch Association.

Hiding in the basement, holding the freshly delivered takeout, the Shuangsheng opened their crystal ball, accessed the shared room, and could see more than a dozen live streams.

They're basically all challenging the pursuit of the Azure Cloud Sect in East China!

Many people watched and generously donated contribution points, sending these Witch Association streamers to challenge high-risk areas.

The Witch Association's Guild subsequently assigned a warning level to the Azure Cloud Sect of East China and prominently displayed a banner on the homepage of their live stream announcing this:

Please select your wanted level--

One star is for menial tasks and unofficial staff. This level is basically unchallenging, and only newbies in the Witch Association would choose this level. Most of them are just using the name of the Azure Cloud Sect but have no real strength.

Two stars, outer sect of a branch sect. The Azure Cloud Sect has many branch sects, but most of them are not strong enough, and some may even disband and join the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau. Challenging them is similar to challenging the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau; it is somewhat dangerous, but generally not that difficult.

Samsung, Jiangming Inner Ring. As the place where Chilian fell, Jiangming City's branch sect seems to be the largest of the Azure Cloud Sect, and its strength should not be underestimated. The four challengers who entered so far have completely lost contact with the live broadcast room after leaving only a sword light.

Four-star, the Beihai Demon Cave, is the place where the captain of the Witch Association fell. In reality, not many people challenge it, because the Witch Association believes that there are very few people stronger than the captain, so most of them dare not challenge it.

Five stars, directly clashing with the Azure Cloud Sect and surviving.

These five-star realm levels were established only because someone has already achieved them.

Otherwise, if no one could achieve it, it wouldn't be a challenging project.

Only one person successfully and safely passed through this legendary five-star Witch Association's den.

That means she's Shuangsheng!

Actually, the Shuangsheng were also stunned when they found out about this.

When? By myself?

After she checked the records and asked other members of the Witch Association, she learned that the five-star challenge was set based on the experiences they had reported.

Well, that's not entirely wrong. My life as Shuangsheng is indeed incredibly legendary, and I have indeed achieved this five-star accomplishment.

The final moments of Beihai's fall

Only one of the Shuangsheng remained.

Faced with the destruction of the entire Beihai Witch Association,

Only she directly confronted Shion!

And he survived!

No problem.

While opening their food delivery app, the Shuangsheng also opened their crystal ball and chose the most popular live stream to watch while eating.

Behind them, Chilian, the captain, and Honghe He were engaged in a heated discussion about which allies they should join forces with next to deal with the Azure Cloud Sect and the Holy Church.

After she clicked on the most popular live stream, a mouse, an insect, and a vine came over and started watching the live stream next to her.

"Arrived at Beihai, the highest point in Beihai East China! Hey, easy peasy, family! Beihai Azure Cloud Sect is just like that! A four-star challenge was way too easy!"

The Witch Association's livestreamer, dressed in a very trendy outfit, is now proudly and arrogantly showing off the scene behind her.

Without a doubt, he is currently in Beihai.

It is considered a den of demons and the most dangerous place by many members of the Witch Association.

"Ah, I miss it so much, it feels like home," the captain sighed from behind.

"You've only lived in Beihai for five years, that's about enough. For the last two years, the Azure Cloud Sect even drove you out of Beihai and you didn't dare go back into the city. Hometown, my foot! Who in Beihai even knows you?"

"The captain is already amazing..."

The three chattered on and on behind, Shuangsheng just kept their heads down, eating their takeout.

I glanced up at the live stream and saw the streamer swaggering down the street.

"Anyway, everyone, watch closely! I'm going to challenge the Azure Cloud Sect head-on! Cast your contribution points! See those three people over there? That brat's got two girls on his arms, how enviable! He's so young and already so bad. Let me start with him and turn him into Calamity Beast!"

The streamer chuckled and pointed to the three people across the street.

A boy in a trench coat, a girl in blue, and a girl in purple who looks like a doll.

"Alright, family, I'm ready to get started! Let's begin with them, speedrun the Beihai Azure Cloud Sect challenge! Securing the qualification to enter the Mental Image Remnants! Charge! Come out, my darlings!"

As they watched the live stream from the crystal ball, the host unleashed a horde of Calamity Beast that charged towards the three of them.

The captain exclaimed, "The anthem of humanity is an anthem of courage!"

The Shuangsheng rolled their eyes.

"The dead are talking."

Inside the crystal ball, purple flames and blue frost intertwined and instantly engulfed the entire live stream room!

"That's quite rare."

Winter Lord kicked a member of the Witch Association who was lying on the roadside like a dead dog. "There aren't many Witch Association members who are willing to come directly to us. I really hope that all the Witch Association members can be this brave."

"He seemed to have just mentioned something about the qualifications for entering the Mental Image Remnants."

"Yes, the Shuangsheng said that the Witch Association is currently using challenges against the Azure Cloud Sect to distribute the qualifications for entering the Mental Image Remnants."

While sending a message to Susan to prepare to deal with the Witch Association members here, Winter Lord pulled Jiang Si aside to avoid attracting attention. "It's quite boring. The number of spots distributed this way is very small, it's more like the Witch Association is purging its members, and it needs to be broadcast live the whole time. I've been having Blue Flower work overtime to make Magic Puppet to deal with this, so don't worry."

"The qualification to enter the Mental Image Remnants..."

"You mean the key An Shiyu?" Winter Lord smiled slightly, manipulating the Shion Magic Puppet back to the sect as she spoke. "Don't worry, it's safer to leave the key with the Beihai Disaster Countermeasures Bureau. With Susan there, there's no risk. Once the Mental Image Remnants appears, we can directly use An Shiyu to enter Mental Image Remnants..."

"No."

Jiang Si shook her head, a glint of light flashing in her eyes:

"What I mean is, I'm also a member of the Witch Association, so I can also challenge the Azure Cloud Sect's alert level."

Winter Lord's delicate face was slightly dazed, like a sculpture.

"Ah?"
