"Hey bro, we're having an event where we're going to the South China Disaster Countermeasures Bureau for an exchange."
When he woke up early in the morning, Keke had already prepared the meal and was earnestly telling him, "There are a lot of magical girl battle events going on in South China recently, and they've been inviting magical girls with the time and skill to go and exchange ideas."
Jiang Si, brushing her teeth, nodded. "Isn't it pretty good?"
"Yes, the old director said that since the Azure Cloud Sect is stationed in Beihai anyway, we might as well stay here. Recently, the Witch Association and the Calamity Beast have basically disappeared, so it would be good to go to South China for exchanges and gain some practical experience."
Keke served her brother rice, then wiped the table, sat down obediently at the table, and turned on the TV.
Waiting for my brother to come over so we can have dinner together.
Coco used to eat at different times, but now Keke only eats when her older brother comes over.
I poured myself a glass of water and then put the chopsticks away.
"Didn't your teacher Shion, also arrange practical exercises for you?"
Jiang Si remembered that she had previously asked Yumo to fight with Keke.
Later Yumo probably also had some exchanges with her.
"Ms. Shion really tells you everything..."
After muttering something under her breath, Keke continued, "Yes, Ms. Shion has assigned me an opponent, that magical girl Dandelion."
"I know her; she often captures Yinlian."
"You'd better not mention it in front of Yiyi," Keke said seriously, "Or she'll really cry."
After all, Yiyi didn't want to lose face in front of her older brother, and she had been telling herself for a long time not to tell Jiang Si about this.
So that Jiang Si wouldn't think she was weak.
Keke felt that her older brother already knew from Ms. Shion.
After all, Shion- sensei really tells her brother everything.
"Oh."
After washing up, Jiang Si came out, wiped her face, and watched TV.
Today's news report is about the Ice-Colored Era Group.
The reporter interviewed Bingtang, and the interview was probably conducted a day or two ago; this is a pre-recorded broadcast.
Surrounded by numerous reporters, Bingtang answered their questions with a gentle smile.
It's mostly because my father has been physically exhausted lately, causing a relapse of an old ailment left over from an attack by the Witch Association years ago. The curse has reappeared, leaving him seriously ill and also causing some mental problems.
He can only recuperate in a private hospital room and is unable to meet with reporters.
Many people are asking whether Ice-Colored Era can maintain its dominant position in the industry in the future...
This group of people seemed unaware that Bingtang had already taken over the collaborative business between the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau and the Ice-Colored Era Group a long time ago.
Jiang Si had heard Bingtang report to her a long time ago about her level of control over the Ice-Colored Era Group. Without her father knowing anything, many of the Ice-Colored Era Group's important businesses were in cooperation with the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau and companies related to the Azure Cloud Sect.
No matter how powerful Old Man Bingtang is, he never imagined that both the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau and the Azure Cloud Sect would actually have to listen to Bingtang now...
I guess you could say I've fulfilled my dream from back then.
When the two first established the Azure Cloud Sect, the young girl said to him with a determined look:
"I must defeat my father. One day his career will come to End Point, and I will become the most powerful person in the Ice-Colored Era Group!"
Back then, the two of them were still Bud magical girls.
"Brother!"
She briefly recalled what happened back then, but Keke called her back, slamming her hand on the table Keke, "Why didn't you come over?"
"If you don't eat now, the food will get cold!"
Jiang Si turned her head to look at her younger sister, said "Oh," and walked over to pick up the bowl and chopsticks.
"Since your teacher Shion, has already arranged a real opponent for you, why are you still going to the South China exchange program?"
"The exchange activities in South China are really beneficial!" Keke took a bite of her food, paused for a moment, and then said, "Those large-scale events, if you win the championship, there are very good rewards, I heard they're related to magical girls, and they can make you very strong!"
What kind of good rewards could the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau possibly offer...?
"Furthermore, the top three finishers in each Disaster Countermeasures Bureau's quarterly battle events can participate in the General Administration's Mental Image Domain Trial."
"That's very important." Jiang Si immediately acknowledged the exchange opportunity. "Why aren't there any spots available for East China?"
" East China uses a letter of recommendation system."
Jiang Si paused, "A letter of recommendation?"
"Yes, each bureau chief writes a letter of recommendation to the headquarters, and then the headquarters selects suitable magical girls to participate in the Mental Image Domain Trial. Each Disaster Countermeasures Bureau has only one spot per year."
Jiang Si finished her rice in two bites. "Isn't that unfair? Why does one Disaster Countermeasures Bureau in South China have so many? Twelve a year, and every single one of them is from South China. Is this regional discrimination?"
And isn't the recommendation letter system the worst election system?
It's all about connections.
"The pressure in South China is immense. The Witch Association is most active South China, along with Calamity Beast, Mirror Beast, Slave Beasts, a bunch of other inexplicable organizations, evil World Ghost, giant Nightmare Demons, and so on. Although I don't really understand them either."
"In short, there are a lot of battles involving magical girls in South China, so there are many spots available. They also frequently hold drills. I've heard that the lowest-ranking magical girls fighting outside are at least New Sprout, with many in Full Blossom, and even those in the Bud aren't allowed to go on missions..."
Will everyone's level increase in the new map?
interesting.
"But I feel that East China's situation is all because of Teacher Shion," Keke mumbled as she ate. "With Teacher Shion and the members of the Azure Cloud Sect around, the Witch Association simply can't develop. The magical girls in East China don't have many opportunities for real combat, so of course they won't progress as quickly as the magical girls in South China..."
Listening to her younger sister's words, which were neither a compliment nor a complaint, Jiang Si shook her head. "With someone protecting you, you should work even harder. Without a heart that seeks the truth, you'll always be weak."
"That's what they say, but the environment still has a significant impact..."
After Jiang Si finished eating and washed the dishes, she said, "Go ahead if you want, I'll look after the house."
"No."
Keke brought her own bowl and chopsticks and handed them to her older brother, saying, "You can't stay at home."
One person cooks, and the other washes the dishes.
Jiang Si didn't care at all, took her bowl and chopsticks and washed them quickly. "What is it now?"
I'm worried about leaving you home alone.
"... Do I need you to worry about me?"
"No, I just can't trust you."
Keke lowered her head, reached out, tugged at his sleeve, and whispered:
"I'm afraid that once I come back, I won't be able to find you again."
I almost never saw my brother again after I left last time.
Keke always feels insecure.
I always have nightmares when I sleep at night.
The nightmare likely stemmed from a time when she was a child, when her older brother went out to exercise, and she insisted on going with him.
Finally, Jiang Si couldn't persuade her otherwise and took her for a run, Keke was so tired that she cried loudly again.
The man then squatted down by the roadside, comforted her, gave her some money, and told her there was a shop by the roadside that had delicious ice cream, suggesting she go buy some and they could eat together.
Keke happily took the money and went to buy ice cream, but when she came back, her brother was gone.
She searched everywhere for her brother, crying as she looked, clutching the melting ice cream.
In fact, when she was little, her older brother tricked her into going to buy ice cream, then ran around for a while and came back to find Keke with a tear-streaked face, and took her home.
It only took a few minutes. She was very close to home at the time, and she wasn't young. There were elderly neighbors sitting on the roadside, enjoying the cool air and watching her cry with glee. There was no way she could have gotten lost.
But in her dream, Keke cried for a very long time, but her older brother never came. She held the ice cream but couldn't bear to eat it, wanting to save it for Jiang Si. She could only hold the melted ice cream and search everywhere, but she couldn't find it anywhere.
When she got home, no one was there. She sat alone at the door, holding the ice cream she wanted to save for her older brother, and cried her heart out.
Then I would wake up from my dream with a start, see my pillow soaked with tears, and rush to my older brother's room. Only when I saw Jiang Si there could I feel at ease.
Sometimes I don't want to sleep on the floor, so I just lie down on my brother's bed and fall asleep.
Keke was really scared that when she got home, she wouldn't be able to find Jiang Si again.
He endured fear and anxiety all by himself.
"Brother, will you come with me?"
Shaking Jiang Si's sleeve, Keke pleaded softly, "I'll protect you, there won't be any danger..."
I don't want to go.
"How could this happen..."
Keke looked miserable, then could only sigh, "No, if my brother isn't going, then I'm not going either!"
"No, you have to go," Jiang Si said seriously. "This concerns your Mental Image Domain!"
"Anyway, East China will provide recommendation letters later."
"Who knows how long that will take? Learning... things in the Mental Image Domain definitely need to be done as soon as possible."
"If my brother isn't going, I'm not going either!"
Why are you so disobedient, child!
Jiang Si was about to scold him Keke grabbed his hand.
Keke's little hands were cold and trembling slightly, and her voice was a little unsteady.
"Brother, I... I'm so scared, I can't do it." Keke's voice sounded like she was about to cry. "I'm afraid if I come back, I'll be all alone at home, and I won't be able to find you..."
Jiang Si, who had been disappointed in Jiang Si, fell silent for a while.
I'm so sad about paying in installments...
This girl really hasn't grown up; she's no different from when she was little.
Both of them were eleven years old when the Heavenly Emperor Huang finished the Battle of the Twin Stones and fought a bloody battle against his brother, who was invincible on the path of double pupils. How come Keke has become Nascent Soul True Fool?
Not only did he have to rebel against her, he also had to be her study companion.
Keke, if you are a persimmon, then show the courage and strength that the Conjoined Fire brings you.
Speaking of which, can a reincarnation of a Mingyang Golden Nature cultivate the virtue of fire?
I skimmed through " Mystic Mirror " over and over again; all I remembered between the lines was cannibalism...
But thinking about it, since Xilan is also in South China, it wouldn't hurt to pick up the Witch Potion on the way.
Because of the connection with the Azure Cloud Sect of East China, no one in the Witch Association dared to contract with Si Motu door-to-door delivery services anymore, saying that the captain's crooked neck, vine remains, and maggots were still hanging on some cement pillar.
Jiang Si wiped her hands and sighed, "When?"
Coco, Keke had been looking down with tears in her eyes, suddenly burst into laughter through her tears. "Tomorrow! We can leave tomorrow, and Yiyi, An Shiyu, and Senior Susan will be with us too!"
Why are they all such troublesome guys?
"Alright."
Keke immediately hugged him upon hearing this, exclaiming, "My brother is the best!"
"Don't be too happy yet. If you don't get into the top three and don't qualify for the Mental Image Domain,' just wait and see how I deal with you when I get back."
"I know, I know, but don't underestimate me. I'm a genius personally trained by Teacher Shion! My goal is the championship!"
You'd better be.
South China, Mingxin City Wharf.
Ruoyun, sitting by the side of the boat, was holding a hamburger and drinking a bottle of mineral water.
Since the last mission was successful, I naturally have more money on hand, plus the support from Hyacinth.
This guy always wants to spend money on her when he has nothing better to do, making himself owe her favors.
Ruoyun dislikes people who like to flaunt their wealth.
However, thanks to Hyacinth's support, she no longer had to suffer from eating pickled vegetables and steamed buns.
However, Ruoyun wasn't particularly interested in food, so on Hyacinth's recommendation, she opted for the most convenient option: a hamburger.
It tastes pretty much the same as a steamed bun.
Amidst the swaying of the seawater, Ruoyun swallowed the last hamburger, then gulped down half a bottle of water to avoid choking. She clapped her hands, stood up, and glanced around.
Since arriving in South China, Ruoyun has separated from Hyacinth and Helen.
The main reason is that Helen's props are just too troublesome.
Not only does he possess a bunch of tools specifically designed for magical girls, but these tools are indiscriminate in their use, regardless of whether they are friend or foe.
"I never thought about teaming up with magical girls before, so I've never considered what would happen if a magical girl were on my side..."
"However, I can make some temporary modifications, so it won't affect your coordination when I use it," Helen whispered to the Hyacinth. "If I had three days..."
"I don't have time for you!" This wasn't the solution Ruoyun wanted, so she rejected it outright.
For Ruoyun, Helen's existence was nothing more than a burden, so the three of them simply split up.
The main reason was that Hyacinth was very interested in Helen's various props, and even wanted to ask Helen how these props were made.
The former captain of the magical girls' Beihai Disaster Countermeasures Bureau, the first idol of the Beihai, has also fallen into depravity, actually dabbling in these crooked and evil ways.
Anyway, Ruoyun wasn't interested.
It's better to be separated; with the cooperation of the armed forces here, Ruoyun's information gathering is actually much more efficient.
She now understood why the Holy Church Walker's Grand Master had said he wanted to inspect the Great Thousand World, and why the Holy Church had destroyed some worlds.
Because these Old World want to occupy this place, seize their world, and transform it into their own home!
My admiration and faith in the Lord of the Holy Church grew even stronger.
If she had ever doubted before, wondering why other worlds needed to be destroyed, and whether it was Supreme Ultimate, then...
Now, Ruoyun would never doubt the Lord of the Holy Church's decision again.
After all, He stands on the legendary Other Shore, where He has a high vantage point and a far-reaching view!
Naturally, they can see things that I don't know, they have a broad vision and deep thinking, which is far beyond the comprehension of a small person like myself.
No matter the reason, you can't go wrong by listening to the Lord of the Holy Church!
Ruoyun, who was observing her surroundings, stood up.
"The suspicious person is moving south. Repeat, the suspicious person is moving south. Calling the south team."
"The Southern Third Squad just moved with another group of suspicious individuals, and now there's a vacancy."
"Requesting support..."
The conversation between the combat squads came through her earpiece. Ruoyun pressed the intercom, "Other squads, maintain your operational deployment. I will monitor the suspicious individuals in the south."
"Receive."
Since arriving in South China, we have discovered numerous suspicious individuals and their activities.
Although she hid it well, the Demonic Sense Enhancement she had previously obtained from the Main God provided Ruoyun with considerable assistance.
The purple-robed Holy Church Walker grasped her hand and personally infused it with magic, not only strengthening his own Magic Sense but also transferring his knowledge and experience in controlling Magic Sense to her.
Her Magic Sense can now cover one-third of Mingxin City!
Through the sweeping of Magic Sense, it is actually quite easy to discover the differences among those people from the Old World.
After all, it comes from a world of Remnants, and its emotions cannot be transformed; unlike the unconscious release of emotions in this world, which causes these emotions to gather into Calamity Beast, or be absorbed by magical girls.
These people from the Old World have intact emotions that don't leak out; they just gradually turn into Remnants.
Rowing the boat in the direction the Infinite Demon Slayer Team had indicated, they soon spotted the two suspicious individuals the Infinite Demon Slayer Team had mentioned in the distance.
They are all young people, and it is precisely because they are young that they are easily exposed.
Those who came from the Old World are not necessarily experienced; some may not even have seen much fighting.
Before we arrived, the Main God said that with the version update, entering the Great Thousand World would bring dangers everywhere.
But in reality, the Old World doesn't seem that great...
He jumped off the boat, mingled with the crowd, and slowly approached.
Compressing magic power, even completely erasing the aura of the Miracle Seed, is a basic skill taught in the Azure Cloud Sect, and is taught to beginners.
Therefore, Ruoyun doesn't need to exchange for it specifically in the Holy Church.
However, during her time at the Holy Church, under increased pressure, her progress in this area far surpassed anything she could have achieved under Teacher Bai Mei.
Ultimately, people are pushed along by their surroundings. In the end, only a very small minority can truly overcome their own laziness. A comfortable environment will erode a person's determination.
That's why Ruoyun loved her days at the Holy Church so much.
Only here could she feel that she had not slacked off or stopped moving forward, but was constantly running forward with fear and tension.
The genuine progress and the feeling of To Live are things you can't find anywhere else.
I pushed through the crowd and came to stand behind the two people—they were sisters.
My younger sister looked sickly, and one of her eyes was even grayish-white.
It appears to have turned into Remnants.
The older sister looked much healthier, with a cheerful and gentle smile on her face as she talked to her younger sister.
It reminded her somewhat of Teacher Bai Mei.
When she first lost her parents, Teacher Bai Mei also raised herself in the same way...
I immediately shook my head to stop thinking about Teacher Bai Mei.
My current task is to become stronger, stronger still, to not disappoint Teacher Bai Mei, and ultimately, to surpass Teacher Bai Mei...
She saw the two sisters turn into a small alley.
There was a pile of garbage in the alley, and next to it sat a discarded glass panel.
The two sisters who emerged from the Old World have completely disappeared.
Ruoyun reached out and touched the glass panel.
Just as she suspected, there was a separate space on the other side of the glass panel.
It uses almost the same technology as the Main God Space, or rather, the Land of Mirrors.
Ruoyun, who possessed weapon-refining magic, covered the glass plate with her magic power and gradually refined it into her own weapon.
The Holy Church contains much information about the use of magic and the expansion of magical abilities.
The Holy Church Walker even personally instructed her on how to use this ability.
Once the glass plate, which serves as an independent spatial medium, is refined, magic can extend along the space created from this point.
Until they reached the separate space where the two sisters were.
Controlling the vibrations of magic, resonating continuously, transmits the sound from the other side.
"You... are too late..."
" The Land of Mirrors... is now unsealed."
"Have you met the Prince?"
After slightly adjusting the resonance frequency of the magic, the sound from the other end finally came through clearly.
"I've met her." The speaker was likely the elder of the two sisters. " Prince Highness said she needs money and is willing to give us a spot."
"That fox's words may not be credible." The other speaker, presumably an elderly person, had a hoarse and aged voice. "She's capable of anything to rebuild the Land of Mirrors; she probably just wants to use us as cannon fodder."
"Is there really no other way?"
The old man on the other side remained silent for a while before saying, "It's not that there's no way. To date, there have been quite a few people who want to seize the origin, create Full Bloom world, and rebuild the world, but the risks are too great, and not many people dare to actually try..."
Ruoyun's heart skipped a beat.
Seize the origin, create Full Bloom, and reshape the world.
As Helen, the Magical Girl Hunter, once said, most of the Old World are not actually interested in taking over the New World; they don't want to leave their homeland, and they don't even want their homeland to be destroyed.
Therefore, their goal is actually to seize the origin of this place, create Full Bloom, and let the Full Bloom magical girls rebuild their Old World and revive their homeland.
After all, the realm of magical girls Full Bloom that it could easily be considered a world.
However, it hasn't been successful yet.
"That's why the Prince's proposal is so appealing; even though they had a falling out before, everyone has no choice but to listen to her now..."
" The Prince is untrustworthy. The Calamity Curse Realm was destroyed because of her... There's no need to rush into agreeing to her request."
"Then what do you want to do? My sister can't hold on much longer, I can't wait any longer!"
"Don't worry, I have indeed found a way to get Full Bloom, but it's a bit complicated, and you'll need to win all the major tournaments in South China..."
"Contest?"
"That's right, the power that the Incubators will never discover, the Full Bloom magic that can save your sister lies within..."
Just as Ruoyun was desperately trying to understand what was being said next, a sharp shout suddenly came from the other end, "Who is it!"
Ruoyun abruptly withdrew her magic and turned to run without hesitation!
He immediately took out his phone to send the message to Hyacinth and Helen.
However, the phone had barely been taken out when it exploded with a loud bang!
She looked up and saw the older of the two sisters blocking her way.
She wore a slightly loose-fitting, finely textured cotton-linen shirt with a small round collar that accentuated her beautiful neckline. She paired it with high-waisted, straight-leg cropped trousers. Her once tired yet refined face was now filled with a dangerous sharpness and murderous intent.
He stared intently at Ruoyun, "Who are you?"
An elderly man was standing behind the girl; her younger sister was probably still inside the separate space.
" Flower Fox, a member of the Witch Association." Ruoyun casually mentioned the member she had sold to the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau, " The Witch Association of Jiangming City."
The Old World has many connections with the Witch Association, so they probably wouldn't dare to act rashly upon hearing the name of the Witch Association.
Furthermore, Flower Fox is indeed a member of the Witch Association, so even if they interrogate her, they won't find anything wrong...
Unexpectedly, the old man's previously indifferent expression suddenly changed, and he immediately shouted, "Kill her! Ailin!"
"We must never let the Witch Association's Guild find out!"
Okay, I guess I overestimated the reputation of the Witch Association...
Ruoyun instantly transformed, wielding a pistol and wand, showing little fear as she observed her opponent while contacting Hyacinth and the others.
Then Ruoyun saw the girl take out a grayish-white seed.
Although it was grayish-white, she could clearly feel it.
It was once a Miracle Seed.
The faint blue hue of the past can still be seen in the shadows.
It has become Remnants.
Magical girls from the Old World?
"Transform!"
Ruoyun's pupils contracted.
In an instant, a terrifying grayish-white magical power engulfed her!
