Chapter 369 - 123: It’s Decided—Zi Yuan Will Defeat Si Motu
"You are the one that needs the most attention."
"Oh..."
Hong Mian looked at the two girls with a sigh, "You two should rest for now, we’ll discuss the remaining matters tomorrow, I’ll go check on the others."
"Senior Hong Mian, make sure to rest well."
"Mm."
Leaving Iris and Cyan Simurgh’s bedroom, Hong Mian went to check other places.
After checking all the magical girls who had clashed with Si Motu and were knocked away, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Thankfully, the magical girls who had supported earlier didn’t have any major issues.
Though they were knocked away by Si Motu, it just resulted in their transformation being undone, their Miracle Seed was unharmed, and they weren’t injured.
Unable to suppress some puzzlement, was it intentional?
The speed of that dragon state was extremely fast, so fast that without Iris’s gravity suppression, it was almost impossible to catch its trace.
If it wanted, it should be able to deliver a fatal blow after the magical girl was transformed back, or grab the Miracle Seed.
But the opponent did nothing, merely knocking the magical girl away.
Members of the Witch Association can’t possibly have good intentions, maybe it was simply disdain?
Sighing, Hong Mian first contacted Jin Cha via video.
When seeing Senior Jin Cha, Hong Mian, who had always kept composed, suddenly showed a miserable face, and said aggrievedly, "Jin Cha, you don’t know what I went through today, the Witch Association suddenly appeared with super troublesome entities, I was directly knocked away, my transformation undone, I almost thought I was going to die there, scared me to death..."
After all, even though she is a senior to other magical girls, Hong Mian is not very old, encountering such a dangerous enemy today, and getting beaten up naturally made her want to find somebody to complain to.
Jin Cha comforted her while listening to her recount the matter with Si Motu, her expression grew serious.
"Definitely a very dangerous opponent, I knew the Witch Association must have done something in secret. Unfortunately, those old council members are unwilling to allocate a lot of resources towards dealing with the Witch Association."
Hong Mian worried, "Once we enter the Heart Image Remains, and if everyone is scattered, it will be hard to deal with Si Motu, you must think of a solution, otherwise it’s too dangerous."
"It’s okay, don’t worry."
Jin Cha smiled faintly:
"I’ve already found someone to help."
"Who? The ones I think could handle Si Motu seem to be either retired or inconvenient to come."
"Cyan Cloud Sect, Zi Yuan."
...
Witch Association, basement.
"Lord Si Motu, what do you think we should do next?"
"Lord Si Motu, you must come to Southern China once."
"Lord Si Motu, do you need someone to warm your bed?"
"Lord Si Motu..."
Listening to the calls rising one after another, Xilan felt a sense of mental and physical comfort.
Because her abilities aren’t great, actually similar to her Twin counterparts, she is among the fringe figures in the Complete Witches of the Witch Association.
The Twins can only replicate the powers of magical girls, which are unreliable in fights with Complete Witches — they can’t copy the abilities of Complete Witches.
The result is that in internal battles, they mostly end up losing.
And Xilan is even more unreliable because she can only fuse ordinary objects.
Tools with Filthy Magic Power or Pure Magic Power need a long time of use to fuse, after fusion, the enhancement to weapons is not apparent, instead, if they are destroyed, she gets easily injured...
But for playing hide and seek, it is a top-notch ability, escaping and the like is very convenient.
In direct combat, the strongest weapon she can employ is a truck.
The good news is, because of fusion with Complete Witches, even everyday objects can harm Complete Witches and magical girls.
The bad news is, not many Complete Witches and magical girls can be hit by a truck.
Situations with firearms are even more tragic.
Most are under the control of the Disaster Strategy Bureau, stealing a gun is easy, but escaping the pursuit of magical girls afterwards is a real headache.
It’s not that the Witch Association can’t do it, but mainly the internal channels demand a lot of money, and Xilan’s abilities are insufficient causing low Contribution Value — most magical girls she can’t defeat.
Low Contribution Value resulted in the inability to buy firearms for use, lack of firearms resulted in low Contribution Value, leading to a vicious cycle.
Though she later spent all her savings and went hungry for a month to buy a handgun, she discovered bullets also cost money...
Within days she ran out of bullets, unwilling to buy more, could only put them in a safe to gather dust.
Later heard that a Complete Witch named Chi Lian in Southern China automatically picked up two Seeds of Sorrow belonging to Complete Witches — at that time the Disaster Strategy Bureau was conducting a top secret witch association clearing operation there, the biggest two Witch Association bases had been destroyed.
That Chi Lian secretly infiltrated into the valley and the dam of the base ruins just cleared, surprisingly picked up two seeds belonging to Complete Witches, and then successfully withdrew from the dense encirclement of magical girls.
Afterwards, relying on those two seeds to conquer half a city in East China, recently was still a legendary tale in the Witch Association.
When hearing about it again, it had already become a three-hour speedrun legend.
One can only say, there are no living legends in the Witch Association.
But at least before Chi Lian was speedrun, Xilan was truly inspired, thinking since everyone are Complete Witches, if she could pick up treasures, so could she, so she took out the gun gathering dust and passionately roamed around the city every day.
Seeing if she could find some loot too.
After wandering for half a year, Xilan finally realized, there doesn’t exist a city that would scatter guns and bullets in every corner.
