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

Let's try to escape the encirclement while we assess the current situation.

First of all, although she has become a magical girl, she did not immediately gain the power to destroy the world.

In the words of the crow:

"An adult can lift heavy objects, but a baby can be smothered by a blanket."

"You just signed the contract, and the magic power you've accumulated isn't even enough to unleash your magic armor, so don't expect to sweep through everything in your path."

This situation was also within Xu Ting's expectations.

There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world. If she really gained immense power so easily, she would suspect that she had fallen into a huge conspiracy.

However, the current situation is much better than Xu Ting had anticipated the worst.

In the worst-case scenario, Xu Ting would face the Blackwater Gang's enemies with her frail young body.

Even if she still has shooting and combat experience, she will have difficulty moving around if she cannot withstand the recoil of the gun.

Although Xu Ting has now become a young girl, she is by no means weak.

"Magical girls have amazing bodies."

She ran while sighing to herself.

At this moment, she was running at a speed that surpassed her previous best sprint time.

It's almost like having a prosthetic leg.

Aside from her legs, her cardiopulmonary function, thinking speed, and arm and wrist strength have also been significantly improved, making her comparable to some low-level prosthetics.

In some ways, she is essentially a monster with a full-body cybernetic body.

The character's performance has been improved in all aspects, the area of ​​the judgment point has been reduced significantly, and there is also a skill slot exclusive to magical girls.

With my current physical condition, fighting the Blackwater Gang in a gunfight would definitely be easier than before.

Even so, we cannot rashly engage in a life-or-death struggle with the Blackwater Gang and Tianyi Group.

It's not too late for her to take revenge once she has mastered the power of a magical girl.

So here's the question: how is she going to escape the encirclement?

The nearest safe house is several kilometers away from this neighborhood; otherwise, even though she was paralyzed in the leg, she would have crawled to the safe house.

Although she had cleared out the nearby enemies before the contract was signed, they would soon flood back into the neighborhood.

Once they enter the neighborhood, they will find Xu Ting still wandering the streets at night.

Xu Ting could have predicted what would happen next with his bare hands.

The Blackwater Gang members would certainly be wary and say, "It's suspicious that this woman is here in the middle of the night; she might be an accomplice." And they would decide to arrest Xu Ting.

Xu Ting couldn't accept being captured, so the only outcome was war between the two sides.

To deal with the current crisis, she came up with three solutions.

Option one: Just grab your gun and charge out.

The Blackwater Gang is hunting down "seriously wounded male mercenaries," while Xu Ting is a "healthy and beautiful young woman." She can easily escape by exploiting this information gap.

But the shortcomings are also obvious.

During the battle with the Blackwater Gang, her new face will inevitably be exposed to them.

Even if the Blackwater Gang doesn't guess that she's the mercenary, they'll still issue a separate arrest warrant for the beautiful girl who attacked the member.

This still won't change the situation of being hunted down; it can only reduce the intensity of the hunt.

Option two: Utilize the evil ideas of some of the enemies.

Some people with special professions naturally appear at night, and Xu Ting could also pretend to be someone with a special profession.

Simply stating the desire to go to a hotel is enough to persuade the Blackwater gang members, who control the larger organization, to cooperate.

She knew all too well what kind of people the Blackwater Gang members were; there were definitely plenty of them willing to do this.

Once we get to the hotel, we'll take out the enemies and escape.

This plan can reduce the risk of Xu Ting's appearance being exposed.

However, its feasibility is very low.

The reason is simple: Xu Ting didn't have suitable clothes.

Her magic power is not yet sufficient to transform, which is what the crow refers to as "liberating her magic armor," so she can only wear the clothes she wore before the contract.

In other words, it was an ill-fitting combat suit with a loose-fitting lining that was stained with blood and riddled with bullet holes.

The Blackwater gang members weren't blind; they found it hard to believe she had a special profession, and they still arrested her on the grounds of "suspicion."

If only she could transform, the magical girl's outfit could be explained as "clothes custom-made to satisfy the fetishes of her customers."

Only option three remains.

Before they enter the neighborhood, they find a suitable hiding place and leave openly after daybreak.

Xu Ting believed that Option 3 was the best option, so she came here.

[Adorable Maid Cafe]

We are actively recruiting staff. Excellent benefits and safety guaranteed.

The adorable maid cafe is the safest place in this neighborhood.

According to the intelligence Xu Ting gathers daily, it belongs to a retired female executive of the Tianyi Group, making it an entity that no force in the lower city wants to provoke.

Even when Xu Ting was recently chased here, the Blackwater Gang members were too timid to fire their guns.

He took the opportunity to rest there for a few minutes until staff on the second floor of the coffee shop pointed guns at him and chased him away.

The female executive had a daughter who died unexpectedly, so she had a certain compassion for girls her age and often took in homeless girls.

They also forced those girls to work for low wages in maid cafes.

Of course, that female executive wasn't some saint; she couldn't possibly save every girl.

The coffee shop only hires exceptionally beautiful girls who haven't had plastic surgery; girls who don't meet the requirements are ignored.

After all, this is the City of Hercules.

Coincidentally, Xu Ting is now a super beautiful young woman.

She confirmed it by looking at the reflections in the shop windows on the street during her escape; it was definitely the right place.

Filled with strong confidence, Xu Ting pretended to be in a sorry state and knocked on the door of the coffee shop.

A few minutes later the door opened.

The door opened with a dark, black gun barrel.

"Who are you, and what are you doing here so late at night?"

"I need a reasonable explanation, or I will shoot."

"That's what the girl holding the gun said."

Xu Ting let out an affected, strange cry, then staggered back a step, and timidly began to speak:

"I...I'm here to look for a job."

"My father gambled away all our family's wealth, and a group of gangsters broke into my house and kidnapped me to sell myself. Luckily, we encountered a gunfight on the way, and I managed to escape in the chaos."

"Please, please take me in. I'll do anything."

The other party coldly questioned:

"What's with your clothes? This tactical outfit doesn't look like something a little girl would wear."

"After I was taken away, I was stripped naked and locked in a truck with other women."

Xu Ting made up stories without any psychological pressure.

"Later, the truck overturned, and I picked up the clothes from the corpses on the ground and wore them."

This explains the problem with her clothes.

As for the firearms and prosthetics, she packed them into her tactical backpack and stored them in a smart locker.

As long as the package is removed before the locker check every fifteen days, the firearms and prosthetic body will not be discovered.

Upon hearing the answer, the muzzle of the gun pointed at Xu Ting's face moved down slightly.

"There was a gunfight between gangs in this area just now. Didn't they spot you?"

"I heard gunshots and kept running away from the gunshots. I didn't encounter many people along the way... Maybe my mother's spirit in heaven was protecting me."

Following his gambling father, Xu Ting fabricated a deceased mother.

As an abandoned orphan, Xu Ting felt no qualms about fabricating her own background.

To outsiders unaware of the details, this background sounds incredibly tragic.

The girl in the coffee shop lowered the gun barrel.

"Come in," she said expressionlessly.

"If you pass the interview, we can hire you."

"If you don't pass, you're on your own."
