"Call me 'Dad'."
Covering her face, Coco bit her lip Keke, her eyes and cheeks red, looking both aggrieved and pitiful. "Dad."
"Smack!"
Jiang Si slapped Coco again, Keke her flying.
The table was overturned, and the furniture shattered and flew in all directions, while Keke smashed through the door and flew out into the yard.
Jiang Si didn't look at her, but turned and walked towards Keke's bedroom.
The bedroom was empty, but the window was open, the curtains were fluttering in the wind, and a light mist occasionally drifted in.
A shoe was left by the window, and Keke's coat was still on the bed.
After inspecting the window, judging from the marks, it shouldn't have been abduction.
Did you climb out by yourself?
Looking back, everything seemed normal until Keke asked about Shion's opinion of her.
It must have been switched when I went back to my bedroom to get my phone.
When Keke returned to her bedroom, the dizziness she felt might have caused her to misjudge time. By the time the other Keke walked out of the room, a long time might have already passed.
Most importantly, it's very quiet.
Even with the window open, there wasn't a single sound outside.
When Jiang Si walked out of the bedroom, the other Keke had already staggered back into the room, blood dripping from her.
Half of his face was smashed, and his right eyeball had popped out of its socket.
"Brother, you hit me, it hurts so much..."
How could you be so heartless?
Jiang Si frowned and glanced at her right hand.
The second slap should have been a direct hit to the head.
When did I become so bad at this?
Or is it that our senses are distorted?
The fog outside began to seep into the house, growing thicker and thicker.
He clenched his fist; something felt off.
No wonder the feel of it just now was a bit strange.
"How could you do that...?"
"Clearly, you protected me from the Calamity Beast back then..."
Jiang Si then grabbed her forehead and applied slight pressure.
This time, there won't be any sensory distortion issues. After crushing the head, the lower half of the corpse withered rapidly.
The vines fell to the ground with a rustling sound.
The red and white splattered skull on his hand slowly transformed into a strange vine.
The tendrils, like tentacles, struggled and grew countless fine vines that instantly pierced his palms, then burrowed into his flesh, trying to crawl into his head.
It looks kind of familiar.
The Calamity Beast Egg hidden in the ribs began to stir.
Since Jiang Si drained it dry last time, the Calamity Beast Egg has remained dormant and has not shown any signs of life.
Although Jiang Si had tried to give it some negative emotions or pollute its magic to activate it, after being tricked once, the Calamity Beast Egg basically learned to be smart.
No matter how many benefits you offer it, it stubbornly refuses to budge.
Even though Jiang Si mentally made several promises to it that she would no longer absorb magic power, there was no response.
After all, it was a pseudo-inner core, a half-step nascent soul, and Jiang Si felt that it could understand what she was saying.
They're just too clever; they can't be fooled anymore.
But now, as the parasitic vines spread, the Calamity Beast Egg, which had been feigning death, has finally stirred.
It has been waiting for this moment for far too long!
In this dark and hopeless prison, a glimmer of light has finally appeared!
Sealed in this hellish place, any unusual movement will immediately drain its power, making it impossible for it to be born.
The desire to be born and the desire to survive clashed, finally leading it to find a second scapegoat.
I never imagined that a Calamity Beast would be willing to burrow into this body.
Has this vine always been this resilient?
The pseudo-infant gestating within the inner core was almost overjoyed, fearing that Jiang Si would refine the Calamity Beast again, and quickly disguised itself as one of its own kind.
These tiny vines were initially unaware of what they were about to face, drawn by the Calamity Beast Egg, and tentatively explored the danger.
After a long while, it was confirmed that there was no danger, and a large clump of vines began to frantically move in.
The Calamity Beast Egg throbbed with excitement, their movements even appearing somewhat distorted.
Finally, I fell for it!
It wasn't until the Calamity Beast Egg wrapped around them and began to move that these vine-like Calamity Beast realized something was wrong.
As soon as the Calamity Beast Egg they encased begin to move, this bizarre body starts frantically absorbing their Filthy Magic Power!
The remaining vines finally realized they needed to escape, but it was too late.
Jiang Si forcefully squeezed the remaining vines and stuffed them into her body.
With one person and one egg working seamlessly together, they quickly swallowed a Calamity Beast into their bodies.
The Calamity Beast Egg can finally become active.
Because the vines completely envelop it, when it begins to move, even if this physical body extracts magic power, it will only start by extracting it from the outer vines.
The vines struggled frantically, their cries of agony barely audible, as they tried to escape this hellish abyss.
However, let alone Jiang Si, even the Calamity Beast Egg would absolutely not allow its scapegoat to escape like this.
Because they were deceived by the Calamity Beast Egg from the moment they entered, they became a protective shield around the Calamity Beast Egg, meaning that the Calamity Beast Egg Calamity Beast Egg have to release itself for them to escape.
Now, the Calamity Beast Egg can finally move safely under the protection of the vine-covered Calamity Beast.
Jiang Si finally obtained the inner core that was willing to continuously provide pollution magic power.
The vines also achieved their parasitic purpose.
It can be described as a win-win-win situation.
For Jiang Si, the most important thing was that he had finally found out how to use this inner core.
Although the process is a bit tedious, it requires finding the parasitic Calamity Beast.
But Jiang Si didn't care at all.
What path in life isn't fraught with trouble? But as long as you can find the way, all troubles are nothing but fleeting clouds.
Parasitic Calamity Beast might be hard to find in Beihai alone, but Calamity Beast 're not just found Beihai. Jiangming City, Xianing, and even further, the entire North China and East China —if you're willing to put in the effort, how could you not find them?
If you can't find it, it means you haven't tried hard enough.
If all else fails, they can infiltrate the Witch Association to find a way to create parasitic Calamity Beast.
There are countless great paths in this world.
As long as one continuously seeks out parasitic Calamity Beast, one can achieve an everlasting Golden Core.
If one can cooperate with the Witch Association controlling Calamity Beast, shattering the core to transform into Nascent Soul nascent soul, and achieving physical sainthood will be just around the corner.
However, the Shuangsheng said that there was a problem with the manipulation technique she possessed, and that they would probably have to seek out a more core member of the Witch Association to obtain it.
Jiang Si wasn't in a hurry.
The path was already beneath his feet; he was on the right one, and a smooth road lay ahead.
Feeling the endless stream of Filthy Magic Power, Jiang Si was certain that she could now defeat the magical girl who was at the sixth level of the Mid-Stage New Sprout.
The reason it's mid-stage sixth rank instead of mid-stage tenth rank peak is because, in terms of magical power, it can only match the Mid-Stage New Sprout. A magical girl at the Mid-Stage New Sprout can simply rely on magical power to stall for time, so her chances of winning are not high.
Once the Calamity Beast Egg within her body began to calm down and the supply of magic power became stable, Jiang Si took out her Miracle Seed.
The purple light dimmed, and the gray seeds seemed to go dormant.
Stepping outside, the fog was even thicker.
There was utter silence. No one could be seen or heard, only thick white fog and the faint roars of Calamity Beast.
I tried to contact the Azure Cloud Sect, but found that I couldn't reach them.
But Jiang Si raised her head and glanced at the building in the distance.
The enormous Calamity Beast, faintly visible through the mist, was perched atop the building.
Vines entwine and wave around high-rise buildings and streets.
The Calamity Beast that was killed by the Larkspur.
Now resurrected, it perches atop the building, swaggering about arrogantly.
Jiang Si strode towards the Calamity Beast.
The entire BH City was shrouded in white mist, and everyone was asleep.
By the time Keke something was wrong, she had already walked deep into the white mist.
She didn't know where she was or why she had left her house.
She had originally intended to go back to her bedroom to check the advice that Ms. Shion had left for her, but suddenly she heard a voice calling to her.
Keke's consciousness then became a little hazy.
When I came to my senses, I found myself near an unfamiliar factory.
She looked around, but it was all foggy, making it impossible to find any landmarks to pinpoint her location.
When I wanted to take my phone out to check, I realized I had left it at home.
Moreover, it was so quiet, so quiet it was almost eerie.
There was no sound at all—no car horns, no engine noise, no wind, no roaring factory machines, no pedestrians walking, talking, or breathing.
The silence was so profound that it made one involuntarily tense up.
Then, she saw Jiang Si emerge from the mist, revealing a smiling face that Keke Coco feel a little nauseous. "Little sister, what are you doing here so late instead of going home? Hurry up and come home with me."
The mist was somewhat suffocating.
She instinctively took out her Miracle Seed, wanting to transform.
However, the Miracle Seed remained silent, with no flow of magic and no response to her call.
Despite their efforts, they still managed to extract some magic from the Miracle Seed.
She took a deep breath and looked at Jiang Si. "Let's drive back."
"We don't have a car either..."
"Just borrow one from someone else."
Keke walked to a car parked by the roadside. "This is Yiyi's car; I borrowed it."
"When did you learn to drive?" Jiang Si asked curiously. "When did I borrow it from Yiyi?"
"You can't even remember this? Are you Jiang Si?"
"Of course I remember, why are you so suspicious..."
Keke walked to the back of the car, glanced at the taillights, and said, "Could you check if the headlights are broken?"
Jiang Si didn't suspect anything, she just squatted down in front of the car.
Keke raised her foot and kicked the back of the car hard!
With the enhancement of magic, the power of this strike was terrifying; the car crashed right over Jiang Si!
Keke looked up at Jiang Si, who had been reduced to shattered vines, and spat.
"Let's train for a few more years."
The useless Calamity Beast seems inferior to Jiang Si.
Taking a deep breath, Coco looked at the messy vines on the ground and didn't dare to go any closer. Keke, she took the Miracle Seed and tried to transform again.
A hand was placed on her Miracle Seed.
A chill ran through him, and he quickly withdrew.
After creating some distance, a figure dressed in a black robe could be seen, indistinctly visible in the mist.
"Don't waste your time, I spent five years on it."
"It's been five years. Do you know how I've gotten through these five years?!"
I'm laughed at every single day!
"Five years, not to prove myself great, but simply to prove myself, to show others that what I've lost, I will take back with my own hands!"
Keke frowned. "Who are you?"
Her body tensed instantly, but no matter how urgently she called out, the Miracle Seed did not respond in the slightest.
"I told you not to waste your time. The white mist I've been brewing for five years is the best seed inhibitor. No one in the entire Beihai will be able to transform into a magical girl."
The captain let out a hoarse laugh, "Even the Azure Cloud Sect is the same. It's a pity we don't know where they've hidden. But it doesn't matter, I have plenty of time to search. Right now, in the entire BH City, only you and I are still awake."
"My lovely Miss Keke, you wouldn't want your friend Li Yi, or your other colleagues in the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau, to die at my hands, would you?"
As he said this, the captain took out his phone, which displayed images of the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau's interior.
The Disaster Countermeasures Bureau was now overrun by vines and white mist, and many of its employees were unconscious and bound up inside.
The captain flipped through his phone again, fiddling with it for a while, clearly not very good at using it...
Keke n't help but remind him, "That's the play button on the right."
The captain then said "Oh, oh" twice and found another video to play. In it, Li Yi, Susan, and Iris, the strongest magical girl in the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau, were all unconscious and placed on the roof of a tall building.
Keke was silent for a moment before asking, "What do you want to do?"
"It's nothing, I just want you to come with me to a place that's also where your friends are. If you want to save them, come on."
Keke took a deep breath and took two steps forward.
The captain then smiled and said, "You might even see your brother."
Keke stopped and hesitated for a moment.
The captain was also a bit confused by her.
No wonder she kicked him so enthusiastically just now; it turns out she doesn't get along with her brother.
The original plan was to have the Calamity Beast bring her brother over, but now it seems unnecessary.
After hesitating for a moment, Keke took a step forward.
The captain also breathed a sigh of relief.
The two walked on, the road utterly quiet. The captain couldn't help but exclaim again, "Ah, this is so refreshing! This quiet Beihai is as crisp and clean as wearing new underwear to greet the New Year's morning."
"Do you even know how hard our Witch Association has been all these years? We've been hunted down and killed by the Azure Cloud Sect!"
"Haven't you gotten used to it after five years?" Keke said casually. "I thought you guys would have gotten used to it long ago."
The captain was momentarily speechless at those words, but he quickly snorted, "They're still better than your Disaster Countermeasures Bureau, which has no backbone whatsoever, bowing and scraping to the Azure Cloud Sect. Even if the Witch Association worse, they still fought against the Azure Cloud Sect to the very end."
"It's better than all the Witch Association dying out."
"Even if we all die, we will not give up conquering the Beihai and will fight the Azure Cloud Sect to the very end, until the very last moment. Unlike your Disaster Countermeasures Bureau, which is practically begging to kneel before the Azure Cloud Sect, always backing down like a bunch of useless trash..."
"It's better than all the Witch Association dying out."
"One day, your Disaster Countermeasures Bureau will be trampled on and treated like dogs by Shion!"
"It's better than all the Witch Association dying out."
The captain finally couldn't hold back any longer, turning around to glare at Jiang Keke, "Is that all you know how to say?"
"Won't Witch Association dead?" Keke tilted her head. "Oh, and you too. Sorry, it's better than Witch Association left."
"You..."
The captain's face contorted for a moment, but he quickly calmed down. "Forget it, I can't be bothered arguing with a kid. Besides, we've arrived."
He took two deep breaths and strode away from Jiang Keke to create some distance between them.
Then, she turned around and opened her arms.
As the thick fog behind them dissipated, a colossal Calamity Beast appeared atop the tall building, its vines swirling and dancing around it.
Keke's pupils suddenly contracted.
Seeing her expression, the captain finally smiled.
" Jiang Keke, why did you encounter the Calamity Beast three years ago?"
Why did I encounter a magical girl?
Why were you the one who received the Miracle Seed?
" Jiang Keke, why did your parents die that day?"
"Aren't you curious?" The androgynous witch before him revealed a dangerous smile. "That day..."
Why did the seed you obtained become invalid?
