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

When the mystery remained unanswered, the seriousness of the matter escalated to another level.

"Calm down." Xu Ting pressed down on Huan Guang's shoulder. "Have you lost contact with the others too?"

If Huan Guang doesn't receive any messages, it might not be that Mi Yan is having problems, but rather that Tianyi Group has already set its sights on Xu Ting and Huan Guang, and is using some means to cut them off from the organization.

If Tianyi Group has already found out the location of Gray Raven, then Xu Ting and the others are no longer safe.

This is possible.

But the reality is not so.

"Other organization outposts in the lower city responded to my request, indicating that they could arrange small aircraft."

"The same goes for the central district."

"Illusion Light said."

"But there's absolutely no movement in the upper district, which is where Lord Miyan is."

This is actually the worst-case scenario.

The lower city is the front line of battle, the middle city is where logistics are located, and the upper city is the core of the organization under Miyan's command.

The frontline sent a telegram to command but received no response. This situation reminded Xu Ting of a certain word—

[Decapitation Operation]

"I am coming!"

Jiang Chenglian, pulling a basket of things, stopped abruptly in front of Xu Ting.

She placed the items on the back of the motorcycle and temporarily wrapped them in a black cloth to avoid alarming passersby.

To avoid being attacked on the way, she took out the "flying swords" that Xu Ting had given her and tied them to her waist.

After all, gravity collapse devices are still too scary.

"I brought everything I could: masks and skin to conceal our identities, the weapons Miss Lost provided, and anything else that might come in handy!"

"Oh, by the way, Miss Loser, I also brought your things."

"That's huge! It took me a lot of effort to find a suitable place to put it."

Xu Ting picked up the thing Jiang Chenglian had mentioned.

Those were the weapons that the mimosa made for her.

Xu Ting originally didn't plan to make weapons for himself, but when he got excited while processing the mimosa, he came up with an idea that Xu Ting thought was pretty good, so he adopted it.

This weapon is not a real high-tech weapon, but a weapon completely imagined by the mimosa plant.

Its true form is—

A huge, blood-red scythe.

Mimosa probably didn't know about the "Eye of Fear," but her idea coincidentally matched Xu Ting's ability.

In cultural imagery, the sickle can be seen as a symbol of abundance, harvest, and death.

Even in mythology, the Grim Reaper is depicted as wielding a scythe to reap souls.

Xu Ting uses a giant scythe as a weapon, which can also instill fear in opponents and trigger the powerful control effect of the Eye of Fear.

Xu Ting took the scythe, which was longer than her own height, and infused it with magic.

Soon, the sickle transformed on its own, shrinking to the size of a briefcase.

This design by Mimosa is based on convenience; after all, it's impossible for Xu Ting to carry such a large sickle around everywhere.

After the three distributed their weapons and equipment, they began the next phase of their operation.

"The fastest small aircraft can be delivered soon. The park is too conspicuous, so I had logistics send it here."

Huanguang pointed to the map on the communication terminal and said.

"Let's head there first, and if Master Miyan still doesn't respond in the meantime, then we'll see."

The three of them quickly got on and squeezed onto Xu Ting's motorcycle.

Because there were so many weapons and equipment, the three of them were crammed together and felt very uncomfortable.

In the end, Jiang Chenglian came up with a solution. She used her innate magic to simultaneously fly a large box of weapons above the motorcycle, and then used illusionary light to hide the weapons, which solved the problem.

After more than ten minutes, the three arrived at their target location.

A small shuttle had already stopped there.

The flying shuttle is not the same component in a loom, but rather a similarly shaped flying vehicle.

They are also equipped with anti-gravity engines and are an important means of transportation between the floating islands in the upper city. Their use is prohibited in the lower and middle cities.

Each shuttle has a unique serial number and is a product strictly controlled by the Hezhi City government.

Of course, it is quite common for wealthy families in the Upper East Side, such as Mi Yan, who have political elders, to own more than a dozen unregistered private flying shuttles.

"Didn't the logistics department arrange a driver?" Xu Ting asked, looking at the flying shuttle with a puzzled expression.

Xu Ting had never driven a flying shuttle, so Jiang Chenglian certainly couldn't either.

"I can drive." Huan Guang demonstrated a capability that Xu Ting hadn't expected.

After saying that, Huan Guang used magic to pry open the door lock and climbed into the driver's seat.

Xu Ting and Jiang Chenglian followed closely behind and got into the flying shuttle.

Using the key left on the seat by the logistics staff, the shuttle successfully started and then flew straight into the sky at a very high angle.

"Illusory Light, there are countless roads, but safety is the first priority!"

Although Xu Ting had never driven a flying shuttle before, he knew that this was not how it was driven.

"It's okay, trust me. There are no railings in the air, so we can adjust it back if it goes astray."

"What if it stalls? Don't let it crash!" Xu Ting protested.

As the shuttle started, images and sounds appeared on the screen inside the cockpit.

[Miss Phantom Light, your route has been planned. Please follow the instructions.]

"Have you made contact with the outpost in the upper city?" Phantom shouted at the screen.

All outposts in the Upper City area are out of contact.

"Damn it," Huan Guang couldn't help but curse, "We're doomed."

Although Huan Guang looks like a cute little girl, she has experience as a pickpocket in the downtown area.

If it weren't for Mi Yan's strict education and correction of her speaking habits, she would have asked about the other person's relatives every three sentences, mentioned reproductive or excretory organs every five sentences, and accumulated enough points to launch a powerful all-out attack every ten sentences.

Compared to Huan Guang, who had begun to revert to his true nature, Xu Ting was much calmer.

"Crow, you go ahead and scout ahead later."

"If the airship has been hijacked by Polar Day, tell me immediately, and I will have Illusion change course right away."

"Okay, I won't ask for your reward this time." Raven surprisingly gave up the opportunity to obtain the Black Phoenix title trial card.

It appeared from the void and flew towards the front of the shuttle.

Time passed by, second by second.

With the help of navigation, Xu Ting and his team avoided the eyes and ears of the giant company planted in the air, namely the patrolling drone formations.

[Miss Phantom Light, we have the latest information about airships.]

The reconnaissance drones dispatched by Tianyi Group were all shot down by the hijackers, failing to obtain any useful intelligence.

The airport authorities are already organizing an interception fleet, intending to sink the airship in the lower city area to prevent the incident from affecting the upper city area.

Something's not right about this intelligence.

If the one who hijacked the Gray Raven was a magical girl from the Tianyi Group, she should have informed the airport authorities beforehand, so there wouldn't be an airship fleet to intercept her, right?

Is it just for show?

Illusion Light also has the same question.

Instead of deep thought, she accelerated the shuttle, preparing to find out who the hijackers were through practical experience.

To prove whether there's an ambush, you just need to fall into it yourself... We can't let Huanguang do that.

Fortunately, Xu Ting had already sent out crows, who could know the airship's situation in advance.

"Crow, has the airship been detected?"

"Scanned." The crow's tone was strange.

"But the situation is a bit special."

"What's so special about it? A ship full of magical girls?" Xu Ting said irritably, "Don't keep me in suspense when it's such an emergency."

—"The complete opposite of a ship full of magical girls."

The crow truthfully answered all that it had seen.

There wasn't a single magical girl on the ship.

"The one who hijacked the airship wasn't Tianyi Group, but someone you would never guess."
