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

"What kind of person is Miss Gray Raven?"

While waiting for Gray Crow, Jiang Chenglian suddenly asked.

Huan Guang was about to answer when she noticed that Jiang Chenglian's eyes were fixed on Xu Ting when he asked the question.

Clearly, the question Jiang Chenglian wanted to ask was actually, "What is Gray Raven like in Miss Loser's eyes?"

Therefore, Huanguang wisely remained silent.

This forced Xu Ting to speak up:

"She was someone who had no choice in the matter."

After much thought, I still think only this sentence best encapsulates the Grey Raven.

Jiang Chenglian gave an "oh" and said nothing more.

Several more minutes passed, and the Gray Raven still hadn't arrived at Airport No. 5.

Xu Ting sensed that something was wrong.

"Phantom Light, contact Gray Raven and ask where she is."

Picking up Gray Raven at Airport No. 5 was a spur-of-the-moment decision for the three of them. To put it bluntly, Gray Raven didn't even need to notify them if he changed his flight.

Moreover, given Huanguang's personality, it's not impossible that she might forget the flight time.

Huan Guang nodded and immediately took out the communication terminal.

But a dozen seconds later, her expression changed.

"Crow's flight has been hijacked!"

"Huh?" Jiang Chenglian hadn't grasped the seriousness of the situation yet. "No wonder she hadn't come; it turns out there was this kind of accident."

"When will Miss Gray Raven arrive?"

Xu Ting said with a stern expression:

"Grey Raven no longer possesses the powers of a magical girl; she's just an ordinary person and can't resolve the airship hijacking incident."

"No magical girl power? How did they do that?" Jiang Chenglian asked subconsciously.

She quickly realized that this was not the point at the moment.

"What should we do? Isn't Miss Gray Raven in great danger? We must go and save her!"

Xu Ting did not answer her directly, but instead began to issue orders:

"Huanguang, go and investigate the details of the hijacking incident. Yunyi, immediately ride my bike back to the water tower and get all the weapons. We'll meet at the park west of the airport."

Jiang Chenglian immediately took the key from Xu Ting and ran quickly towards the airport exit.

Huan Guang nervously said:

"The flight's external communications have been hijacked by the kidnappers. At present, no one knows exactly who the kidnappers are or what they want."

"The only thing we know is that the airship that was originally going to the lower city changed direction and flew back to the upper city."

"Some people even said it based on the direction of the flight path..."

Huan Guang's words came to an abrupt end.

"What did you say?" Xu Ting asked hurriedly.

"They say the terrorists hijacked this airship and intend to crash it into the Sky Tower of the Tianyi Group," Huan Guang read aloud.

After saying that, she put down her communication device, as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

"How is that possible? Lord Miyan has arranged many bodyguards for Ya Ya, and half of the passengers on that airship are our people."

"How come a group of ordinary anti-corporation terrorists hijacked the airship without Lord Miyan receiving any news?"

Xu Ting shook his head and calmly analyzed:

"The important thing now is not 'how to do it,' but that they 'have already done it.' We must accept this fact and then work backward from it."

"It is known that none of the bodyguards on the upper half of the airship prevented the hijacking, or even issued a warning."

"This means that the hijackers of the airship have the ability to instantly kill or control all the bodyguards."

"It is also known that the airship's route ends in the Upper City, and may even be the headquarters of the Tianyi Group."

"Therefore, the perpetrators of the airship hijacking are very likely the magical girls from the Heavenly Will Group!"

Zhan Ye, Zhan Ye's colleague, or even the polar day itself.

Faced with Xu Ting's conjecture, Huan Guang had actually agreed, but still reluctantly retorted:

"How did Tianyi Group know about Gray Raven's flight?"

"If they had such intelligence capabilities, we should have been attacked by the Tianyi Group by now."

The secrecy level of Gray Raven is just as high as that of magical girls like Xu Ting Huan Guang.

"When I was a mercenary, a senior colleague taught me the first lesson of mercenary work: never think that you've kept the big companies in the dark."

"I can't possibly know how Tianyi Group found out Gray Raven's location, but the fact that her airship was hijacked is undeniable. What other plausible explanation could there be?"

Huan Guang was rendered speechless by Xu Ting's rebuttal.

She could only offer suggestions based on Xu Ting's guess:

"I've already contacted Lady Mystery. If she can arrange a small aircraft for us, we can still catch up with that airship."

"Using force to counter the hijacking is a last resort," Xu Ting said.

"First, confirm whether the hostage-taker is a magical girl from the Tianyi Group, then confirm whether she is a match we can handle, and only then will we decide whether to take action."

Upon hearing this, Huan Guang stepped forward, grabbed Xu Ting's wrist, and said excitedly:

"Are we just going to stand by and watch the crows die?"

Xu Ting uttered cruel words:

"This is the only way to do it when necessary."

"I told you about that magical girl named Polar Day. She can instantly create ice walls that block off entire streets, and destroying an airship in one hit wouldn't be difficult for her either."

"If she hijacked the airship, there's absolutely no way we can save Gray Raven."

If the hijackers are from the polar day, then the situation is even more serious than during the gathering.

Xu Ting was able to save the five magical girls because they hadn't been discovered by the polar day yet, and the blockade of the ice wall wasn't completely impenetrable in front of the crows.

But if the polar day were on an airship, she could very well be sitting right in front of the gray crow, able to kill it with a flick of her finger.

The airship high in the sky is also an excellent prison. Xu Ting and his group, who are in the coloring stage, cannot fly. Even if they rescue Gray Raven, they will not be able to escape.

"But--"

"There's no 'but' about it," Xu Ting interrupted Huan Guang, who was about to say something more.

"I saved Gray Raven's life with great difficulty, and I, like you, don't want her to die."

"But if I can't do it, I can't do it. If I'm going to risk my life, at least I should get a good outcome!"

After she finished speaking, she realized her words had been a bit too harsh, so she said in a comforting tone:

"And the situation might not be the worst-case scenario; perhaps the hostage-takers are an enemy we can handle?"

This possibility is actually greater.

Xu Ting had briefly encountered the polar day and knew that it was a self-important, mad killer.

From the perspective of someone like Jizhou, a mere gray crow might not be worth her personal attention; she should focus on finding Shaohua and not waste her energy on a gray crow.

"Let's go to the park first," Xu Ting said. "Once Yunyi arrives, we'll ride the flying machine that Miyan provides."

Huan Guang agreed with Xu Ting's point of view, and the two quickly arrived at the park.

The air grew cooler as it flowed through the empty park, sending up gusts of chilly wind.

Despite the absence of any danger, Xu Ting felt an unprecedented sense of unease.

Then, her unease soon came true.

"Why isn't Lord Miyan answering?" Huan Guang suddenly asked anxiously.

"Could it be that Lord Mystery was also kidnapped?"
