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

Sight perception and killing intent perception—these are things that sound very mysterious.

But for mercenaries who live on the edge in Hell City, this is an essential skill.

Xu Ting inexplicably possesses a talent for this.

She seems to possess a strong "sixth sense," always able to accurately detect murderous intent emanating from behind.

This trait may be related to her becoming the first magical girl to transform from a male.

Special people always have more than one special place.

With this ability, she dodged countless bullets fired from behind.

This time was actually a relatively easy one.

"The people doing the surveillance are very unprofessional."

Xu Ting said to the crow,

"Veterans can conceal their murderous intent, and those who have spent years navigating the lower city are more likely to do so."

"But if they are monitoring Tianyi Group, they will choose to use machines for surveillance; cameras are not threatening."

"Therefore, the person monitoring the lockers is most likely a member of the Blackwater gang, and most likely a newcomer who has just joined the gang."

This left Xu Ting unsure of the extent to which the Blackwater Gang had become aware of the situation.

It is certain that the Blackwater gang discovered an internal intelligence leak.

Xu Ting can control the gang, but he can't change the gang's level of competence.

If the gang member behaves strangely, it could indeed arouse the suspicion of the Blackwater gang, leading them to send someone to follow and monitor him.

Once they figure out what's inside the cabinet, they'll understand a lot immediately.

But did the Blackwater Gang know that Xu Ting would be the one coming to collect intelligence?

Judging from the amateurishness of the people monitoring them, the Blackwater Gang probably doesn't care much about this matter.

But she checked the gangster's condition again with her Eyes of Fear, and he had not been captured by the Blackwater Gang.

The Blackwater Gang didn't want to alert the enemy.

This suggests that the Blackwater Gang has a special plan.

Xu Ting still wanted to prepare for the worst.

She first issued orders to Luo Ruowei.

"Notify members of the Gift-Giving Cult to prepare for an attack by the Blackwater Gang and temporarily relocate to a hidden stronghold."

The surviving gangsters in the Zenglijiao incident were all Xu Ting's men. They all gave the same story, saying that Pogu was attacked and killed by an unknown force.

At a crucial juncture in the struggle for the viper's position, this manner of death was not unexpected.

But what if the Blackwater Gang finds out something?

Let's get the gift-giving cult moving first. Even if it turns out to be a false alarm, it will still help to train Luo Ruowei.

After finishing this task, Xu Ting asked the crow:

"Crow, you noticed the gaze just now, didn't you?"

"Did you see clearly who was monitoring the lockers?"

The crow gave a bad answer:

"no."

"I checked immediately and there was no one looking in this direction, which is why I said that."

"But it's true that someone is watching you, which is strange."

The crow could be used as a more energy-consuming and powerful magic ball; it could even detect the illusory light of invisibility, yet it failed to spot the Blackwater Gang members who were tailing it.

This matter seems extremely strange.

Xu Ting walked through Airport No. 5, observing the pedestrians around him.

If the Blackwater Gang has set up an ambush here, they are likely hiding among these pedestrians.

Ordinary passerby, ordinary passerby, ordinary passerby...

There's something wrong with this person!

Xu Ting stared at a man in a large trench coat in the distance. The man had a gloomy expression and kept looking around warily.

The man paced anxiously back and forth, clearly waiting for a specific opportunity.

Xu Ting quickly scanned the other party with the magic ball, then disappointedly withdrew it.

That man had a homemade bomb strapped to his trench coat.

It turns out he was just an ordinary terrorist who wanted to bomb the airport.

Sure enough, within minutes, the patrolling security robot subdued it, eliminating the menace with a single tranquilizer dart.

Passersby glanced at him and then walked away indifferently.

This matter was unremarkable in Hezhi City.

There are countless people in Hezhi City who have been driven to the brink of despair, and explosives are readily available on the black market. Dangerous individuals who intend to self-destruct are frequently apprehended at large facilities.

These people are basically incapable of accomplishing anything. Airport No. 5 can sometimes catch several suicide bombers in a day, but they have never been bombed.

On the contrary, Zero Airport, which is responsible for the external transportation of Hezhi City, was bombed. Just recently, it was trending on social media for three hours.

After searching the area, Xu Ting still couldn't find any members of the Blackwater Gang.

This is too strange. The Blackwater Gang has already sent people to keep watch, so why didn't they send people to ambush them?

Do they still want to play the long game?

Xu Ting continued walking, but then spotted someone he had met once before.

Cliff, the intelligence broker.

Xu Ting had bought Luo Ruowei's address from him.

That makes sense. He's always been active at Airport No. 5, so it's not surprising that we've run into each other.

But after thinking about it, Xu Ting still stepped forward, ready to "have a chat" with Cliff.

Cliff was sitting on a bench, looking around listlessly.

He soon spotted Xu Ting walking towards him.

What the hell? How come it's this super-strong cyborg woman?

Cliff was startled, and his first instinct was to leave.

But then he calmed down. He had only said a few flippant words and hadn't made an enemy of Xu Ting. It was unlikely that the other party would wait so long to specifically retaliate against him.

"Madam, it's been a long time."

Cliff greeted him with a fawning smile.

Xu Ting glanced at him coldly and said:

Are you afraid of me?

"If you're afraid of me, then do my work."

Cliff's first reaction was, "What is this guy talking about?", but his subsequent reaction surprised him greatly.

His body moved on its own, and he gave Xu Ting a perfunctory bow, replying with "Yes."

This wasn't my intention... No, I should have obeyed this lord's orders...

Cliff's thoughts gradually shifted from the former to the latter.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and accepted reality, sincerely telling Xu Ting:

"My dear lady, what can I do for you?"

Damn, I've been bewitched.

As an information broker, Cliff naturally gathered information about magical girls after the epitaph incident.

How could he not know what was happening?

I had suspected this woman before... This lady is a magical girl, but I don't think it's that much of a coincidence.

Is it really true?

He was filled with grief and indignation, but he couldn't muster any thought of rebelling against Xu Ting.

Xu Ting was also somewhat surprised by the result.

The Eye of Fear seems to have become more powerful; Cliff's fear isn't deep, but it's surprisingly easy to control.

Furthermore, my control over magic has become stronger; I can control the target even without turning them into a controlled state.

It seems that the promised commission from the contract has arrived, and Xu Ting has received a boost.

"Do you have any way of getting the security camera footage from the outside lockers?"

With a try-it-out mentality, Xu Ting asked Cliff.

"able."

Xu Ting was taken aback by the other party's answer.

Cliff's confidence made Xu Ting a little suspicious, and she asked him with some doubt:

"Are you really able to get your hands on the surveillance footage?"

"I have a friend who works at Airport No. 5. Once, when he wasn't looking, I secretly granted him access to my own recordings on his computer."

"After all, I wanted to establish a brand for myself and create something unique, so I used 'checking airport travel records' as a selling point in my advertising."

You're such a petty person. If something happens to you, your friend will probably take the blame.

"Is it reliable?" Xu Ting pressed. "Wasn't it detected by airport management?"

"My friend found out very quickly," Cliff confessed honestly.

"But when I offered him a share of the profits, he readily agreed and even gave me more permissions."

Xu Ting declined to comment on the management level of Airport No. 5.

She had Cliff pull up the surveillance footage for the corresponding locker and played it quickly.

"Stop, this is it."

At 5:15 p.m., the gang controlled by Xu Ting leaked the intelligence.

Xu Ting stared intently at the screen, instructing Cliff to continue playing.

She saw members of the Blackwater Gang.

The man appeared at 5:27, placed his hand on the locker, opened it, and took out the intelligence.

After looking through it several times, the man shook his head mockingly, put a black cloth bag he always carried into the locker, and left with the information.

This person is probably the one monitoring the lockers.

The Blackwater Gang did take this incident very seriously, but the people they sent were indeed very unprofessional.

The situation in which both conditions can be met simultaneously is—

"Why did the Blackwater Gang send a magical girl directly?"

Xu Ting said helplessly.
