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

Same as back then?

Xu Ting had some guesses in his mind.

Luo Ruowei, Luo Ruoshan, and their younger sister Luo Ruolan, who were several years younger than them, should have shown decreasing hostility towards the Zengli Cult.

Luo Ruowei, who was most hostile to the Gift-Giving Cult, ran away from the house.

The youngest, Luo Ruolan, frequented the forums of the Gifted Etiquette Cult. Considering her age, she had likely been completely brainwashed by her mother.

Luo Ruoshan, caught between the two, was extremely conflicted.

"Did you help Ruowei escape back then?"

Xu Ting stared into Luo Ruoshan's eyes, making the latter feel uneasy, and he looked away.

"No."

"I'm not as crucial as you say."

"When my sister ran away, the Gift Cult sent many people to capture her, including my mother and me."

"At the time... I knew there was something wrong with the Zengli Cult, but I didn't dare disobey my mother's orders, and I almost actually took my sister back."

"It was my sister's earnest persuasion at the last moment that brought me back to my senses and prevented things from going to the worst possible outcome."

Luo Ruoshan turned to look at the dilapidated room, his voice somewhat hoarse:

"My sister said that sooner or later, Mom will give everything to the Doomsday Cult."

"She's right."

"My sister and I had our tuition fees taken away by the Gift-Giving Cult, and all we got in return was a verbal praise from the cult leader."

"The furniture in the house was sold off one by one, and the food on the dining table got worse and worse... meat dishes, all-vegetarian dishes, thin porridge, synthetic food, and in the end, we couldn't even get enough of the synthetic food."

Luo Ruoshan's description is still too conservative.

Judging from the view inside the door, their house was not only empty, with only the floorboards left, but also had all the furniture sold off.

The bedding was spread out on the floor, clothes were hung on the window frames as curtains, and empty cans were piled up in the corners to serve as trash cans...

The most technologically advanced appliance in the entire room was a router whose model was so outdated that even Xu Ting couldn't recognize it.

That's so shabby.

Even the orphanage that raised Xu Ting wasn't this poor.

"Since you have so many complaints about the Gift-Giving Cult, then hurry up and take action."

"Where will the Gift-Giving Cult put your sister after they capture her? List all the places you can think of!"

In terms of height, Xu Ting is short, while Luo Ruowei is tall;

But in terms of sheer presence, Xu Ting is the real giant.

Luo Ruoshan was stunned by the shout, and in a daze, he saw the image of his sister in Xu Ting.

When he was a child, Luo Ruowei would order him to do chores in this way.

Girls develop faster than boys. Luo Ruoshan had never beaten his older sister since childhood and could only humiliatingly serve as her "slave".

I can only say that she is indeed my sister's colleague.

Despite their significant size differences, their ability to boss people around is exactly the same.

"As for the location... I'll find a pen and write it down."

"No, take me directly there. Grab the gun from home, and we'll search each location one by one."

Faced with Xu Tingxin's order, Luo Ruoshan subconsciously nodded in agreement.

But as soon as he returned to his room, he came out looking troubled and said awkwardly:

"The gun was also donated to the church."

"My God, your mother is really crazy that she doesn't even keep a gun at home."

Xu Ting was completely speechless about Luo Ruowei's mother.

She shook her head and patted the heavy iron door, the rumbling sound echoing through the corridor.

"Close the door and come with me. I'll give you a gun."

Looking into Xu Ting's eyes, Luo Ruoshan nodded blankly, closed the door, and followed Xu Ting.

At this moment, he seemed to be completely overwhelmed by Xu Ting's aura and had completely entered a state of subservience, doing whatever Xu Ting said.

Xu Ting took one step, and Xu Ting turned around, and Xu Ting turned around too.

Even after Xu Ting handed him the gun, he remained in a dazed and confused state.

Xu Ting was furious.

Are you sleepwalking?

"If you still want to save your sister, then use that stupid brain of yours; if you're just scared out of your wits, then give me back the gun."

"Given your current condition, if a fight really breaks out, the first bullet might hit me!"

After being scolded by Xu Ting, Luo Ruoshan's eyes gradually regained their clarity.

"I just..."

He opened his mouth as if to say something, but forgot what he was about to say.

His final words were even puzzling to himself:

"I think I was just startled by your eyes; they were so red they were a bit frightening."

After saying it, Luo Ruoshan felt that he was being stupid.

The hair dyeing and contact lens technology in Hezhi City is extremely advanced, and there are all sorts of colorful people on the streets. No matter how timid Luo Ruoshan is, there is no reason for him to be frightened by a little girl.

But Xu Ting felt that things were not as simple as Luo Ruoshan making a foolish mistake.

"Crow, have my eyes always been red?"

The sound of crows echoed in Xu Ting's mind:

"After you made the contract, you've always been a beautiful girl with black hair and red eyes."

"And don't you even know what you look like?"

Xu Ting really didn't know.

She only confirmed that she had a beautiful face on the night she transformed, by looking at her reflection in a shop window on the street.

Because it was too dark, she couldn't see her own eye color clearly.

In dim light, even blood appears black, let alone one's own eyes.

Even after starting work at the super cute maid café, Xu Ting never confirmed her own appearance.

Even though there are mirrors in the rest area for the maids to groom themselves;

Even if she can only turn on the front-facing camera of the communication terminal at any time;

Even though life is full of mirror reflections, she can see her own appearance as long as she doesn't avoid them.

Although she didn't want to admit it, Xu Ting was indeed deliberately avoiding mentioning her appearance.

Although she doesn't regret becoming a magical girl, she has ultimately changed her appearance.

She can't forget everything from the past twenty-two years and accept her new face in the mirror without any resentment for the time being.

"Fine, if you won't answer me, let me explain what happened earlier."

The crow answered proactively:

"The kid in front of you just now wasn't just distracted; he's probably under a spell."

"Your magic."

"My magic?" Xu Ting asked, puzzled. "I didn't cast any magic. What do you mean?"

"Magical girls do need to write spell formulas to cast spells, but there is one exception."

"My innate magic."

"Like that signature move that magical girls in anime always have."

"Casting one's innate magic is extremely easy for magical girls, requiring very little magical power, and it usually awakens when a magical girl completes her first transformation."

"However, there are also cases where the magical girl awakens her innate magic prematurely, resulting in her being unable to control her power before transforming."

"I saw it once before. The magical girl's innate magic was crystallization. On the night she signed the contract, her power went out of control and turned her parents into two stone statues."

"As for other cases, I've only heard about them, but most of the out-of-control innate magic that has occurred has powerful or complex effects."

"Hehe, your innate magic might be quite powerful too."
