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

The egalitarian faction's contracted beast has gone missing?

Xu Ting's first thought was that the contracted beast was a crow, but then she dismissed the idea.

The crow's moral standards are simply incompatible with those of the egalitarians who take it upon themselves to save humanity.

If that contracted beast were a crow, it wouldn't have waited until now to run away.

Xu Ting continued reading the diary.

Shaohua and her team's operation has been a success.

They first infiltrated the Tower of Babel, but suffered extremely heavy losses, ultimately only managing to obtain two contract documents.

[Furthermore, their tests showed that they could not take the contract document out of He City. One magical girl once attempted to leave with the contract document, but was swallowed by a strange pink mist ten minutes later and died a violent death.]

But there's always a way out.

[Shaohua and her team discovered a large number of contracts on an ocean cargo spaceship at Zero Spaceport.]

[This is a really large amount (this sentence was added at the request of Shaohua when she saw my diary entries)]

However, those 117 contracts still couldn't be shipped out.

[Shaohua and her team decided to continue their covert operation in Hezhi City, using these contract documents to cultivate new magical girls, and then transport the finished magical girls directly to the wilderness.]

[A very interesting idea.]

"Finished Magical Girl"—it's written like an animal husbandry business.

The following is a new paragraph.

Shaohua seemed very happy today, so I decided to give my idea a try.

I asked her if I could leave a few contracts in Hell City, so that Hell City could also have hope called magical girls.

She gave me a severe scolding.

Her mission concerns the fate of humanity; it cannot be tainted by personal feelings.

Even if the Tianyi Group is incompetent, it objectively prevented the attack of the evil beasts. There's no need for magical girls to fight against evil beasts here; they can't possibly waste their precious contract documents in Hezhi City.

This concludes this page of my diary.

Xu Ting turned to the next page and immediately saw:

However, she still agreed to my request, saying she would plead with the captain on my behalf.

"After all, everyone in Hezhi City is indeed not doing well," she said.

Pretty tsundere.

Xu Ting looked at the next entry in the diary.

—[Tianyi Group has made its move; the infiltration plan has failed.]

The content took a sharp turn for the worse.

Shaohua came looking for her; she looked terrible.

She gave me sixty-four contracts, saying that was all the remaining stock. She told me to decide what to do with them; they could go to anyone who could save Hell City.

I don't understand her intentions. I asked her what was going on. Even if her team suffered a devastating blow, she shouldn't be giving up here.

But after hearing my words, she seemed even more desperate.

[The following are her exact words; I have absolutely no idea what they mean. Maybe I'll understand them in the future.]

"I've learned the truth about the world. The City of He is no different from the wilderness. No wonder those four didn't attack us... No, they might not know."

"I'm tired, I give up, I'm leaving. The egalitarians don't exist, and the civil war isn't a war."

"Pink is dangerous, but not dangerous to you. If you see pink, don't panic. Pink won't hurt you."

Xu Ting silently recited the original sentences from the diary, becoming more and more confused with each recitation.

What kind of divine dialogue is this?

Shaohua is just like a kid who has just learned to use the internet and writes dark quotes in his personal signature, with phrases like "the truth of the world" and all sorts of meaningless terms.

However, Xu Ting could still understand a little bit; at least "those four" should refer to the four divine envoys.

But what the heck are "the egalitarians don't exist" and "civil war isn't war"? And what is "pink" anyway?

Xu Ting became increasingly confused as she read on, so she continued reading, and then—

That's it?

Xu Ting flipped through the diary in disbelief.

The diary also contained some trivial details, all about the daily life of Miyan selling contracts after Shaohua left. Shaohua came once more to ask about the whereabouts of the contracts, and then never appeared again.

The friendship between Miyan and Shaohua came to an abrupt end.

"That's all you wrote? It's hardly enough for me to read!"

However, she still gleaned some crucial information from the diary.

"Shaohua has been terrified by Tianyi Group," Xu Ting thought to himself.

Clearly, the egalitarian magical girls who infiltrated He City were almost all wiped out; otherwise, Shao Hua wouldn't have sent Jiang Cheng to the lower city as an agent.

Terrified by the relentless pursuit of the Tianyi Group, Shaohua began to ramble incoherently. In a fit of despair, she shoved the contract documents into Miyan's hands and ran away.

Before she died, Miyan said she was sorry to Shaohua for giving the contract to the wrong person...

It's clearly Shaohua who wronged you. She didn't make any clear demands and just gave you, an ordinary person without magic, the contract.

Perhaps cowardice is the very nature of Shaohua?

Despite being a magical girl of the Ring-Bound rank and possessing the power that Mystery dreams of having, she entrusts such a dangerous duty to a weakling without any magical power.

And this wasn't the first time she did it.

Jiang Chenglian was also recruited to Hezhi City by her.

Having a magical girl in her coloring stage do your work and bear the brunt of the Tianyi Group's pursuit and wrath for you, Shaohua, you're quite something.

Xu Ting closed the diary and handed it to Gray Crow.

"I've finished reading it."

Gray Crow took the diary and asked eagerly:

Do you know what Shaohua meant by her last words?

Sure enough, what she was most interested in was that riddle.

Xu Ting truthfully stated:

"I don't understand it much either, but 'those four' should refer to the four divine messengers of the evil god's apostle, including that Starry Night attendant."

When the topic of the Starry Sky Divine Servant came up, Xu Ting took the opportunity to tell Gray Crow the basic knowledge about the Four Divine Envoys.

Upon hearing this, the latter's expression turned extremely pale:

"As expected, I shouldn't have listened to that Star Servant's bewitching words."

She said with deep regret:

"His promise was a lie. Lord Mystery wasn't saved, and Huan Guang and the others were also killed..."

Xu Ting found this very puzzling.

What will the Starry Night Servant gain by deceiving the Gray Raven?

Regardless of whether Gray Raven listens to the Starry Night Servant's bewitching words, the end result of the mystery is death. The only difference is whether Jiang Chenglian and the others have been harmed by the polar day.

If the Star Servant's goal was to turn Xu Ting into a witch, then all He has done is enough. It would be difficult for Xu Ting to find a way to save Jiang Chenglian in a day, and he would indeed have some negative emotions because of this.

But the will of God extended the deadline by one day.

This is very strange. Does the Starry Night Servant want Jiang Cheng to come back to life or to die?

Surely it's not that the Divine Servant's willpower thought Xu Ting, this star-chasing maid trainee, had the appearance of an exceptional person, so it adopted a strategy of subversion, launched a solo mission, and took the initiative to stop the Starry Night Divine Servant's conspiracy, right?

Believing in this is less valuable than believing in the interplay between the left and right hemispheres of the Star Gods.

"Grey Raven, don't feel too guilty about this."

"An existence like the Star Servant can easily give you two options that are wrong no matter which you choose, so you don't have to take responsibility for your mistakes—"

Gray Crow raised his hand, interrupting Xu Ting's words of comfort.

She spoke with a solemn expression:

"here we go again."

"The Star Servant has come to see me again."

She paused for ten seconds, then solemnly repeated:

This time she said, "Leave the safe house within twenty minutes, or the chain reaction will not stop."
