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

"It wasn't a composite image after all..."

The girl, whose hair and eyes were as white as day, watched the video in front of her with great interest.

In the video, the magical girl who claims to be being chased is flying in the air when a bomb from the gang cuts into the frame from behind her. If the video hadn't been paused by the polar day, the girl would have been blown to bits.

This video does not use AI technology to synthesize images; it is all real footage shot by the camera.

But it's a fake.

The lower classes of Hell City didn't know that the death of a magical girl wouldn't be so ordinary.

Even magical girls in their incubation period will have a corresponding orb of light appear on their corpses when they die.

This is their last bit of magic.

On the battlefield, when a magical girl dies, if there are her comrades nearby, her last bit of magic will flow to the nearest comrade, helping them win the battle.

A hundred years ago, the apostles of evil gods suffered greatly because of this phenomenon.

As the saying goes, a defeated army is bound to be pitiful, and a pitiful army is bound to be victorious. The death of one magical girl will make other magical girls stronger.

The magical girls in the scene were all blown up into the shape of roasted whole lambs, but no orbs of light emerged from their bodies.

Clearly, the charred corpse was just the body of another innocent girl; the original magical girl had not died.

Clearly, someone is manipulating public opinion to smear Tianyi Group.

Although Tianyi Group did indeed offer a bounty for the head of the magical girl, such slander is still intolerable.

so......

"Zhanye, go and bring me Zhou Xuan's head."

Polar Night turned his gaze to Zhan Ye on the desk, a fake smile appearing on his face.

"This shouldn't have been a difficult task for you after completing the renovation, right?"

At this moment, Zhanye has been "completely transformed".

Her height decreased by three centimeters, and her weight decreased by twenty kilograms. Although her face remained unchanged, all the parts of her body had been replaced with more powerful models.

The current Zhanye is confident that he can defeat both of his past selves at the same time.

But when faced with the task of being dispatched during the midnight sun, she still looked hesitant:

"Lord Polar Day, the power of the Mysterious Words is indeed not worth mentioning."

"As long as I have the coordinates of the mystery, I can take her down immediately."

"But Miyan's whereabouts are hard to trace, and her family is deliberately covering her up. The task force has not found any useful clues so far."

"Even a skilled cook can't cook without rice, and my innate magic can't assist in the investigation..."

"The action team members are all incompetent."

Ji Zhou gently placed the tablet computer playing the video on the table, causing Zhan Ye to shiver involuntarily.

"Zhou Xuan's family? The congressman's granddaughter? These are nothing compared to Tianyi Group."

"Playing house with other giant companies for too long has reduced our business acumen to zero."

"Fire the entire action team; they're useless."

After venting his anger, Ji Zhou changed to a gentle tone and said to Zhan Ye:

"If you don't have Zhou Xuan's coordinates, then create Zhou Xuan's coordinates."

"Isn't she good at dodging?"

"Then give her a reason that forces her to come forward."

......

"It seems I have no choice but to take action."

Jiang Chenglian stomped his little feet in indignation.

After seeing the video fabricated by the Blackwater gang, she became furious.

If Xu Ting hadn't stopped her, she would have rushed out of the water tower on the spot to "avenge" the magical girl who wasn't actually dead.

Fortunately, Xu Ting persuaded her by saying, "You don't even know the location of the gang," which calmed her down, and she continued to wait for the situation to develop.

Then she saw something that annoyed her even more.

"Kakita Technology is utterly shameless! They're even using the dead for profit; don't they feel ashamed?"

Following the murder of the magical girl during her live stream, Kakita Technology immediately created a high-quality virtual tombstone for her in the cemetery system and developed a dedicated recharge window for citizens to donate "repair costs" for the tombstone.

Effects that can be added with just a tap of a finger cost a lot of credits.

The top 100 donors will have their names displayed in a loop above the tombstone screen.

If that were all, then so be it.

Kakita Technology has even more outrageous new plans.

They created an "official website" where citizens could "vote for their favorite magical girl" and use credits to support her.

There are currently only two people on the leaderboard.

One is "Shaohua," who only has a code name and no physical appearance, while the other is an unnamed magical girl who faked her death.

Even so, they still engaged in fierce competition on the leaderboard.

There were actually two groups of idle people who topped up their accounts...

The moment Xu Ting saw the rankings, he immediately messaged Luo Ruowei, telling her to keep an eye on Qi Li and not let that girl who dreams of fame impulsively reveal her identity.

Jiang Chenglian, after a brief moment of shock, transformed in anger, determined to smash the website server of Yuantian Technology.

Jiang Chenglian's magical girl outfit is very distinctive.

If Gray Raven's outfit theme is "Young Lady" and Illusion Light's theme is "Knight", then Jiang Chenglian's outfit theme is "Hero".

She wore a bamboo-green cross-collar ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), with a milky-white belt tied around her waist, making her look even more capable.

A gradient gray-black cloak draped down from her shoulders, covering Jiang Chenglian's fist, which was poised to strike. The girl's anger seemed to be hidden in the clouds, but it was still ready to be unleashed.

As she transformed, two steel plates that had been removed from the abandoned water tower also floated up, as if they too were disgusted by the actions of Kakuta Technology and wanted to join Jiang Chenglian on her expedition.

Xu Ting had no choice but to try to persuade her again:

"Miss Yunyi, although Kakita Technology is shameless, at least it hasn't made enemies of the magical girls in the lower city."

"Tianyi Group is our real enemy."

"Before we take down Tianyi Group, giant companies like Yuantian Technology, which are at odds with Tianyi Group, are usable targets. There is no need to do anything that is detrimental to the current situation for the sake of momentary satisfaction or revenge."

"Besides, your injury isn't fully healed yet?"

Jiang Chenglian understood that Xu Ting was right. Frustrated, she put down the steel plate, sat back on the sofa, and complained in a tone that sounded almost like a spoiled child:

"But I just don't want to see those giant corporations so smug..."

"Miss Lost in Color, do you have any good ideas?"

Xu Ting shook his head:

There's no way.

"Right now, we can only focus our efforts on the magical girls in the lower city."

"They also saw the scene of the magical girl being killed during the live stream, and they must have had a lot of thoughts about it."

Xu Ting did not explain to Jiang Chenglian that the video was faked by the Blackwater Gang.

There's no need to drag Jiang Chenglian into her feud with the Blackwater Gang, and it's also a good thing to make Jiang Chenglian realize the cruelty of the magical girl path.

However, Jiang Chenglian did not feel fear as Xu Ting had hoped.

Therefore, Xu Ting still needs to take drastic measures.

"You can use the name of [Shaohua] to summon the magical girls to a location and form an alliance."

This was a plan destined to fail. The magical girls in the lower city each had their own factions, and they would only use this opportunity to kill each other.

If Jiang Chenglian were to witness residents where magical girls were killing each other, she would realize that her career was fundamentally impossible and give up the idea of ​​becoming a magical girl.

"That's a great idea!"

Jiang Chenglian was completely unaware of Xu Ting's sinister intentions. She jumped up excitedly, grabbed Xu Ting's hands, and said:

"The other sisters must be living in fear right now."

"If we can unite everyone, it will surely put everyone at ease."
