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

"Oh no, we've been found out."

A crow appeared before Xu Ting and said casually.

"Is the power of magical girls the ultimate weapon in the box?" Xu Ting asked with a dark face.

"To be precise, what's in the box is a magical girl contract document... but it doesn't really matter."

The crow began to tell its story in a leisurely manner.

"I didn't do anything to you. It was the contract document in the box that recognized you and quietly attached itself to you."

"But although you have sufficient qualifications, you are not a woman."

"And so we got stuck here."

"The contract couldn't grant you the power of a magical girl, but it couldn't bear to leave you. As a result, you were hunted down by the Blackwater Gang and the Heavenly Will Group, and almost died on the roadside."

"If I hadn't discovered you in time and helped you complete the contract, you would have already gone to the Western Paradise with powerful abilities that you couldn't use."

"From that perspective, you should be thanking me."

Xu Ting reached out and grabbed the crow, which transformed into a cloud of black mist and floated onto Xu Ting's shoulder.

Turning to the raven whose words were rather irritating, Xu Ting continued to ask:

"But you hid the truth from me."

"While I was internally cursing Tianyi Group for its lack of integrity, were you just standing by and laughing?"

The crow shook its head vigorously:

"You didn't ask me."

"I originally planned to tell you the truth after you learned how to transform, but I didn't expect you to find out so quickly."

"Furthermore, you have already experienced the power of a magical girl."

"If you could go back in time, would you really be willing to honestly hand over this power to Tianyi Group?"

An ominous red light shone in its eyes.

"If you give up this power, you will only become an unknown nobody in He City."

"But by becoming a magical girl, you can become a legend of the City of Hell."

"Are you planning to fall out with me over some small misunderstanding, choosing the former; or are you going to let go of your resentment and choose the latter?"

A gust of cold wind blew past the window, making the locked window rattle.

Xu Ting looked at the open briefcase and said:

"I have no interest in becoming a legend, nor am I prepared to forget the fact that you withheld important information."

"But I can still work with you."

She reached into the safe and grabbed the third treasure, besides the nanobots and the memory extraction device—

An envelope.

She took out the only letter in the envelope and looked at the neat handwriting on it.

"Bon Voyage"

"Crow, becoming a magical girl will allow me to make a lot of money, right?" Xu Ting asked.

The crow nodded: "As long as you live to that time, wealth will be within your grasp."

Xu Ting nodded and put the letter back in the envelope.

With enough money, she could buy resident certifications for everyone in the orphanage in the Upper City, so they wouldn't have to suffer the same hardships Xu Ting had endured.

This is something that mercenaries of the past would never have dared to dream of.

She worked as a mercenary for eight years and met all sorts of "middlemen".

Some of these individuals, who act as a bridge between mercenaries and employers, are extremely lacking in professional ethics.

Concealing crucial intelligence, deliberately providing false information, and colluding with third parties to set a trap for the victim...

Compared to those guys, the crow is an extremely reliable partner.

But compared to the cute mascots beside magical girls in anime—

"You really are cunning."

The crow cawed twice in response:

"Same to you."

Now that it has been confirmed that the magical girl power is the "ultimate weapon" that the Tianyi Group wants, another question has surfaced.

"The Tianyi Group already knows about the existence of magical girl power, but to what extent do they control it?"

"Almost completely under control."

The crow gave the worst answer.

"After all, the contract documents you possessed were lost from Tianyi Group."

"Although I don't know the specifics, there must be a secret magical girl squad within the Tianyi Group."

"You're already a thorn in the side of the Tianyi Group, and you'll inevitably clash with those magical girls sooner or later."

"They are true magical girls, completely different from you, a half-finished product who can't even transform yet."

Are they semi-finished products and regular troops?

When she was a mercenary, she had to avoid the troops of giant corporations.

Now that she's a magical girl, she still has to hide in the Tianyi Group's magical girl world.

Then her transformation was for nothing, wasn't it?

"So all I can do now is wait for my magic to grow naturally until I can transform."

The crow answered, "Yes."

"At least you're safe for now; the magical girls from the Tianyi Group can't find you."

Time is on your side now.

......

The next morning, at 8:30 a.m.

Yan Yuling, the acting manager of the adorable maid café, made a phone call from her office on the second floor.

"It's me, Yan Yuling, the acting manager of the Adorable Maid Cafe."

"Yes, Ms. Wu's coffee shop."

"That's right, Dead Sea, I do have something to discuss with your Blackwater Gang."

On the other end of the phone was Wu Langtao of the Dead Sea, the leader of the Blackwater Gang!

At this moment, she spoke to the leader of the most vicious gang in the lower city in a commanding and threatening tone:

"Keep an eye on that guy in your gang called Viper."

"Tell him not to have any inappropriate thoughts about the maids in our shop."

On the other end of the phone, Dead Sea looked at the report on the communication terminal:

"Ms. Yan, your call comes too late."

"If he were still alive, I could easily take him to your store and make him apologize to you."

"But the viper is dead. Just last night, there wasn't a single survivor in the entire house."

He paused for a moment, then continued:

"It was most likely done by the person who lost their color."

"The one who lost his color?" Yan Yuling asked, rubbing her fingers against her coffee cup. "The one your Blackwater Gang was chasing before?"

"The one being hunted down by the Blackwater Gang and the Tianyi Group."

"The Dead Sea said."

"He stole Tianyi Group's ultimate weapon; Miss Yan, you should have heard about it."

"I've never heard of any ultimate weapon," Yan Yuling said.

"Ha ha."

The Dead Sea seemed to have heard some incredibly funny joke:

"Your boss's position at Tianyi Group before he left was inextricably linked to that ultimate weapon."

Yan Yuling retorted firmly:

"What the boss knows doesn't mean what I know. I'm just a maid, nothing more."

The Dead Sea did not delve deeper into this topic, but instead said:

"Alright, then let me relay my words to those who know."

"The death of the viper proves one thing: the one who has lost his color has completely become a vengeful demon."

"And he may have already mastered the power of the ultimate weapon through someone else."

"The owner of the super cute maid café once held a position related to ultimate weapons; this is information he'll find out sooner or later."

"At that time, this vengeful demon might very well target your café—"

Dead Sea's words came to an abrupt end; he did not specify what the Colorless Ones would do.

"That's all I have to say, Miss Yan. I'll leave the decision of how to handle this to you."

pat.

Yan Yuling hung up the phone.

She looked at her right palm and murmured the words "the one who has lost her color".

The magic in the room gathered in her palm as she focused her thoughts.
