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

To be fair, Jiang Chenglian wasn't completely incompetent.

Perhaps her original intention was simply to oppose Tianyi Group, but she handled the situation very well.

For the residents of Hell City, the internal disputes among the magical girls are none of their business.

No matter how much the egalitarian magical girls were suppressed and purged by the ruling magical girls behind the Destiny Group, they could not evoke any empathy from them.

Hezhi City is a city where you can die if you're not careful; the citizens are all very shrewd.

If Jiang Chenglian just keeps saying, "Sigh, this Tianyi Group is too wicked," then the offensiveness of this report will be greatly reduced.

Do I need you to explain how bad these giant corporations are?

Everyone in Hezhi City already knew this.

But Jiang Chenglian said:

She wanted magical girls to explore new lands, but the Celestial Group prevented it.

Opening up new land is something that is closely related to the vast majority of people in Hezhi City.

The city of Hert is not small, but the city of Hert has even more people.

Once you leave the three main districts of Hezhi City, the likelihood of being attacked by evil beasts will increase rapidly.

It is precisely because they cannot leave Hezhi City that people can endure the endless bullying, exploitation, and torment by giant corporations and gangs.

If magical girls can open up new lands, then those who can't make a living will have a new option.

People will benefit from new land to live on, businesses will be able to open up new markets, and crops will be able to grow in new fields. Only Tianyi Group is unhappy.

Jiang Chenglian's words successfully put Tianyi Group on the opposite side of Hezhi City.

Moreover, there was already a political faction in Hezhi City called the "Restoration Faction".

They believed that Hezhi City had established itself firmly after decades of development and should have launched a war to drive out the evil beasts and create living space for humanity.

It is foreseeable that many of these people will choose to support Jiang Chenglian and Shaohua behind her.

In the subsequent interview, Xu Ting also asked some basic questions related to magical girls at the request of Deep Sea Media.

"Code name? Every magical girl has a code name. Of course, we magical girls can't fight with our real names."

"My name is Shaohua, and I have a comrade-in-arms named Yunyi. She's really amazing—"

— "Ahem." Xu Ting coughed, interrupting Jiang Chenglian's personal remarks.

The latter gave an awkward laugh and returned to the normal interview rhythm.

After discussing common knowledge such as "transformation," "special costumes," and "personal magic," the interview came to an end.

Even after the interview, Jiang Chenglian remained energetic.

As she spoke, she swayed her body back and forth, as if she were about to jump up at any moment:

"Miss Loser, your idea is brilliant."

"Why didn't I think of exposing Tianyi Group's misdeeds to the media?"

Xu Ting didn't answer directly, but instead clenched her hands and tentatively asked, somewhat nervously:

"Were you sincere about what you just said?"

"Hmm, what do you mean?"

Xu Ting revised his wording, saying:

"So, do you really just want to lead sixty-four magical girls to fight evil beasts, or are you planning to organize them to overthrow the Heavenly Will Group?"

Jiang Cheng tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said matter-of-factly:

"Isn't this the same thing?"

"There is an invisible barrier outside Hezhi City. That barrier isolates the evil beasts and also seals off the city."

"The contract documents that Senior Shaohua and the others obtained cannot be taken out of the barrier."

"Those sixty-four magical girls probably won't be able to make it either."

"Therefore, if we want to give humanity a new future, we must defeat the evil Destiny Group!"

Jiang Chenglian clenched his fist with an air of righteous indignation.

Xu Ting felt bitter inside.

She had absolutely no interest in the future of humanity or the pursuit of justice.

All she wants is for the people she cares about to live well.

"Tianyi Group is very powerful, Miss Yunyi. You could easily die while resisting them."

Jiang Chenglian showed no fear in the face of Xu Ting's persuasion:

"I am prepared to make the sacrifice."

"Even if I die, there will be others to follow."

"Senior Shaohua once told me that the reason she chose the code name 'Shaohua' was to express her determination to reclaim the beautiful past of humanity."

"Therefore, I named myself Yunyi."

"The clouds are cold yet faint, the pine's heart grows stronger with age. I have resolved to dedicate myself to the cause of magical girls, and this resolve will not change."

"Miss Loser, I know you can't understand our thoughts yet."

"But I believe you will eventually walk the same path as us."

"When the time comes, you can also choose a code name with profound meaning, and I will help you with your suggestions."

But you will die.

The prophecy of the Star God lingered in Xu Ting's mind, refusing to dissipate for a long time.

If they had missed their encounter at Airport No. 5, Jiang Chenglian would have died, and Xu Ting would have regretted it for the rest of his life.

She thought that finding Jiang Chenglian would change her fate and protect her.

But the rumors shattered her illusions.

Even if Xu Ting hadn't foreseen Jiang Chenglian, Mi Yan would still have asked her to meet with Jiang Chenglian. Following that path, Xu Ting would have recognized Jiang Chenglian's identity and protected her.

However, Jiang Cheng would die if he followed that route.

Therefore, Xu Ting has still not resolved Jiang Chenglian's life-or-death crisis.

"Miss Yunyi."

Xu Ting's voice sounded somewhat weak.

"Let's wait here for the reports to come out."

......

As Xu Ting had predicted, Deep Sea Media's report ignited the internet in Hezhi City within half a minute of its release.

"Youthful Years," "Magical Girl," and "Pioneering Statement" quickly rose to the top of the trending searches.

Before Tianyi Group took action, Yuantian Technology and several other large companies that were at odds with Tianyi Group had vigorously promoted the spread of this report, making it impossible for Tianyi Group to block or withdraw it.

As a result, Tianyi Group started hiring online trolls.

Immediately, a large number of "enthusiastic netizens" began to question the authenticity of the report. Anyone can call themselves a gravedigger, and the setting of magical girls can be made up at will. How can Deep Sea Media prove that their report is true?

Then, some people came out to support Deepsea Media.

"I can attest that this report is true."

Under the live stream camera, a young woman who looked like a "magical girl" spoke.

She underwent a glamorous transformation on camera, followed by a demonstration of her signature magic—

A small, cyan whirlwind rose from the open ground and gently lifted the girl up.

She said excitedly in mid-air:

"What Miss Shaoguang said is true. She just telepathically taught us how to become stronger."

"The Tianyi Group is indeed hunting us down. They have hired a large number of gangsters and mercenaries to carry out a brutal hunt against us in the lower city."

"While we magical girls possess powerful magic, the mafia also has freezing magic provided by the Heavenly Will Group."

"We are isolated and helpless, and can only be defeated one by one."

"Therefore, the other magical girls in the lower city should unite as Miss Shaoguan suggested."

"As long as we unite, we will definitely—"

The girl in the video was instantly engulfed by the violent explosion.

After a brief exchange of fire where the exact situation was unclear, several gangsters appeared in the frame.

The girl was now a charred corpse.

The gangsters seemed completely unaware that this was being broadcast live, and they talked unabashedly about the success of the hunt and the high rewards promised by the Tianyi Group.

Their vile words and deeds reveal the cruelty and evil of them and the Tianyi Group.

Even Jiang Chenglian was so angry that his teeth were chattering, and he wished he could rush into the screen and wipe out the gang that colluded with Tianyi Group.

But Xu Ting remained calm.

because......

The girl who was "hunted" was the magical girl who rescued Wu Qingshuang; she belonged to the Blackwater Gang.

"This is a fabricated image created by the Blackwater gang."

"They also want to take this opportunity to smear Tianyi Group."

"That's what the crow said."
