She was being hunted down, so she became a magical girl.

The first box contained a tube of nanobots.

Xu Ting opened the lid and poured it onto the hole in his shoulder.

The nanobots filled in the holes in her clothes and cleaned up the bloodstains around them. In the blink of an eye, the maid outfit was back to normal.

Pressing the button at the bottom of the tube causes the nanorobot to fly back into the container.

This is a treasure of Kakita Technology, capable of quickly repairing damaged armor and even prosthetics on the battlefield.

It consumes fuel every time it is used, and when the fuel runs out, it needs to buy fuel from Kagaki Technology to recharge.

Xu Ting's use of it for a maid outfit is indeed a waste of its potential.

But she had no other clothes to wear, so she had to do this.

The second box contained a metal object about the size of a fist.

Upon seeing the metal object, the viper, which was already half-dead, immediately began to struggle.

He kicked his feet in despair, his features contorted with fear, his appearance transforming into a grotesque form befitting his inner ugliness.

"No! You can't—"

Xu Ting punched him in the stomach, silencing him with pain.

Then, she lifted the viper by the neck and slammed the metal object onto the back of its head.

The viper then began to convulse as if it had been electrocuted, a convulsion that lasted for a full half minute.

His convulsions only stopped when the light bulb on the metal object changed from red to green.

Upon closer inspection of the metal object, it was discovered that the viper had gone into shock and died.

Or to put it in simpler terms:

He died from the excruciating pain.

"Does being penetrated during memory extraction really hurt that much?"

Xu Ting put the memory extraction device into his pocket and muttered to himself.

The memory extraction device is another amazing gadget developed by Kakita Technology.

It is possible to physically hack into a brain-computer interface and forcibly download the memories stored in the brain-computer interface, although the process may involve some minor pain.

It only takes half a minute to pry open a viper's brain; it's much faster than torture.

It truly lives up to its reputation as a great helper for home and travel, possessing its own unique soul-searching technique from the cyberpunk era.

Having accomplished all his goals for the trip, Xu Ting didn't linger any longer.

She opened the last safe and stuffed it with the nanobots, the memory extraction device, and all the gold bars she had saved up.

Then, carrying his own few guns and as much ammunition as possible, he ran away as fast as he could.

Although EMPs can damage electronic equipment, there is no guarantee that the Blackwater Gang will not be able to detect Viper's attack.

We must leave before Blackwater reinforcements arrive.

Perhaps Xu Ting was fast enough, or perhaps the Blackwater Gang hadn't received any news of the attack at all.

In conclusion, Xu Ting successfully escaped the danger zone, bringing a perfect end to tonight's night tour.

The guns and ammunition are still in the lockers on the street.

The most important thing, the combination lock, had to be carried with me at all times.

After sneaking into the dark coffee shop with the combination lock, Xu Ting returned to his bedroom and immediately began the next step of his work.

She opened the safe, took out the memory extraction device, and then connected it to the gift her maids had given her—the Destiny XII communication terminal.

The communication terminal begins decoding and displaying the viper's memories.

Most of the memories are trivial matters, while a small portion are evidence of the viper's torture of the female victims.

Looking at this evidence, Xu Ting felt that he hadn't been lenient.

Finally, Xu Ting found what she was looking for in the "Recent Memories" folder.

That was the viper's memory from twelve hours ago.

Viper and another man were having a secret conversation in a dimly lit, cramped room.

Xu Ting also knew that man.

Wu Langtao, the founder of the Blackwater Gang and Xu Ting's greatest enemy, is known as "Dead Sea".

There are many stories in the city of Hercules about how the Dead Sea got its fortune.

Some people say that Dead Sea was a former employee of those giant companies who lost an office power struggle and returned to the lower city with funds and technology to become a local tyrant.

Some people say that Dead Sea participated in the Wilderness Expedition, but was terrified by the evil beasts in the wilderness and then believed in the Doomsday Cult. The current Blackwater Gang was supported by the Doomsday Cult.

Some even say the Dead Sea is actually the illegitimate son of a political bigwig, who established his gang to do favors for a powerful figure in parliament...

Regardless of which version is true, one thing remains unchanged.

The Dead Sea has an unusual background.

Regardless of whether he comes from a giant corporation, a doomsday cult, or the political arena, he possesses sufficiently reliable intelligence sources.

"Tianyi Group says the 'Discoloration' is still alive and definitely hasn't escaped the Lower City."

"The Dead Sea said."

"Even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake. When it comes to control over the lower city, Tianyi Group is no match for our Blackwater Gang."

"So they want to cooperate with our Blackwater gang to find the 'loser' who tricked both us and them."

"Viper, what do you think?"

When did Xu Ting manage to trick Tianyi Group?

Xu Ting recalled his conversation with Viper in the study, where Viper firmly believed that "the one who lost color had embezzled the ultimate weapon."

From this perspective, everything she experienced makes sense.

If Tianyi Group receives an empty box from her, they will be furious.

Then they would order the cessation of information sharing, the severing of contact with the victims, and the shooting of the victims.

This perfectly matches Xu Ting's experience.

So it wasn't Tianyi Group that betrayed me? It was me who betrayed Tianyi Group?

No, no, no, I didn't take that so-called "ultimate weapon." Someone must have sabotaged it and switched the box containing the ultimate weapon with an empty one.

Xu Ting calmed himself down and continued looking at the viper's memories.

In the video, Viper rambles on about the pros and cons of cooperating with Tianyi Group, while Dead Sea remains noncommittal throughout.

Only after the viper finished speaking did the Dead Sea say that he needed to "think about it" some more.

The viper was about to leave when the Dead Sea called him back.

Then, the Dead Sea said something that sent chills down Xu Ting's spine—

"I can't be bothered with what you do to those women, but don't think that women are just prey to be toyed with."

"If you find a woman fighting alongside the color-blind, be extremely wary of her."

"She is likely in more danger than the person who lost her color."

Xu Ting's mind went blank for a moment.

The Colorless One is a lone wolf among mercenaries, with no close female companions.

Her closest sisters were all in an orphanage in the outer city, making it impossible for them to have any contact with the Blackwater Gang.

Who could be the woman who might appear and fight alongside the colorless?

It's myself.

Xu Ting looked at his own body and muttered to himself.

The Color Loser stole the ultimate weapon;

Xu Ting has become a magical girl;

The Dead Sea is wary of a woman who might appear.

"Crow, come out here!"

Xu Ting asked in an unprecedentedly stern tone:

"Tell me, is the power of magical girls the 'ultimate weapon' that the Tianyi Group wants?"
