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

After confirming the safety of the five magical girls one last time, Xu Ting deactivated his Black Phoenix form.

She opened her eyes and stood up from the bench in the small hotel.

"Let's go, crow."

"crow?"

Half a minute later, Raven spoke up in the team chat:

"My goodness, it's easy for you to log off, but I have to huff and puff my way back."

Give me some time.

Xu Ting frowned and said, "Come on, I know how fast you can fly."

"Stop dawdling, we need to get back to the water tower quickly."

Although Tianyi Group has blocked the signal in this area, there is bound to be some news that can be transmitted from there.

Given the intelligence-gathering capabilities of the Mysterious Words faction, Jiang Chenglian would soon find out that the meeting place had been attacked.

Xu Ting needed to hurry to a place with a signal to let his sister know he was safe, lest she do something rash in her anxiety.

Three minutes later, the crow appeared in front of Xu Ting.

Without saying a word, Xu Ting put on the mask and walked out of the hotel.

Because the hotel owner was controlled by the Eye of Fear, Xu Ting didn't need to check out; someone else would take care of the aftermath.

After cycling to an area with a signal, Xu Ting immediately contacted Jiang Chenglian:

"Feed? It's me, the one who has lost their color."

"Thank goodness, Miss Fainted, you're alright."

"If Miss Huanguang hadn't stopped me, I would have come to find you."

Jiang Chenglian's voice sounded very anxious.

She did indeed learn of the attack on the gathering place and had the idea of ​​rescuing Xu Ting.

"Illusion is right."

"I'm safe and sound. We can talk in detail when I get back to the base."

Luckily, I contacted Huanguang beforehand, otherwise things would have gone terribly wrong.

Although Huan Guang acted like a fool in front of Hui Ya, he still maintained a professional demeanor in front of Jiang Chenglian.

Having worked with Miyan for so long, I've gained quite a bit of experience by imitating him.

The other side is even more reassuring.

According to Luo Ruowei, Qi Li has been diligently practicing his innate magic.

Moreover, the intelligence system of the Gift-Giving Cult was relatively backward, and they were unaware that the meeting place had been attacked, so naturally no one was in a hurry.

The motorcycle stopped in front of the water tower.

Jiang Chenglian jumped out of the water tower.

She grabbed Xu Ting's hand, looked him up and down, and then happily said:

"Thank goodness you're not hurt."

"The intelligence says that the magical girl from the Tianyi Group has arrived. I'm really afraid you'll end up fighting with her."

Strictly speaking, Xu Ting did indeed fight against the polar day.

But neither side should acknowledge that this was a battle.

"I already told you I'm fine," Xu Ting said with a hint of helplessness.

"A magical girl started a fight with the gang ahead of time, so I didn't stay at the meeting place for long."

"The other magical girls should be fine too, since the Celestial Group made its move before the gathering even started."

In some ways, the three magical girls who were hunting each other were a great help.

Their foolish actions inadvertently thwarted the Tianyi Group's trap.

No wonder the polar day was so angry that one of the magical girls "turned around and left".

"A magical girl with a gang? What does that mean?"

Jiang Chenglian still didn't understand the darkness of the lower city.

Xu Ting entered the water tower and explained to Jiang Chenglian her vision of a magical girl:

"Miss Yunyi, there's no test of character in magical girl contracts, right?"

"Yes." Jiang Chenglian seemed to understand, but not quite. "You mean there are bad guys mixed in with the magical girls in the lower city?"

"It's not as simple as having bad guys infiltrate," Xu Ting explained slowly.

"They're magical girls from the lower city; they're all bad people."

Traditional moral values ​​proved particularly fragile in the face of the harsh environment of the downtown area.

Faced with immense pressure to survive, it's not surprising that people will do anything to stay alive.

Crime is a bad thing, but people in the lower city can't live without committing crimes.

Most of the contracts sold by Miyan ended up in the hands of gangs and other evil organizations.

Can a girl with close ties to an evil organization do anything good?

Even someone like Xu Ting, who is an enemy of the underworld, has blood on his hands and can hardly be considered clean.

Even taking the cleanest example, Qi Li.

She hasn't done anything wrong yet, but she's also relying on the unclean Xu Ting.

Xu Ting will eventually make her fight, make her kill, and lead her down the path of evil.

"Therefore, it was probably impossible to unite the magical girls in the lower city from the very beginning."

"People like us are destined to fight each other for our own selfish interests."

Xu Ting didn't say everything, but her meaning was already very clear.

Jiang Chenglian, you should give up your fantasy of teaming up with magical girls.

However, there was no wavering in the eyes of the girl before him.

"Miss Faded Beauty, you are not a bad person."

"Those who can only see their own self-interest are not necessarily bad people."

"Your souls are bound by the City of He, nothing more."

Jiang Chenglian spoke slowly but firmly.

Xu Ting felt a pang of hurt; her voice trembled with emotion, and she spoke with a displeased expression:

"After all, you've never actually lived in the downtown area."

To make such a statement inevitably comes across as condescending.

Jiang Cheng clasped his hands together and said sincerely:

"I'm sorry, I haven't personally experienced your lives."

"I'm bad with words, I don't know how to say anything nice."

After saying that, the two fell silent.

The tense atmosphere between them lasted for a while until Huanguang also entered the safe house.

Why aren't you all saying anything?

"Illusory Light, kept in the dark," said doubtfully.

However, Huanguang has never cared whether he was kept in the dark or not.

She walked familiarly to Jiang Chenglian's side and poked the latter's waist:

"Yunyun, did you ask [that question]?"

Magical Girl Yunyi, or Yunyun for short.

They've only known each other for a day, and they're already calling each other by nicknames?

Xu Ting was surprised.

"I haven't asked yet," Jiang Chenglian replied.

"Then hurry up and ask!" Huan Guang urged Jiang Chenglian.

Seeing that Jiang Chenglian had no intention of speaking, Huan Guang presumptuously spoke to Xu Ting:

"The one who has lost her color, Yunyi has a question for you."

"Didn't you meet her brother, Xu Ting? When did you meet him?"

Xu Ting casually replied, "Probably three years ago."

"Three years ago? Did the Losers participate in that mission?" Illusion continued to ask.

"If the one who lost his color also participated, Master Mystery, could you help investigate?"

Xu Ting fell silent.

Obviously, she couldn't say that the woman who had lost her color participated, as the woman was very famous and it would be easy to find out the contents of her commission from three years ago.

It is impossible to find Xu Ting, Shi Se, and Shi Se's daughter at the same time.

Because they are a trinity, they can only manifest individually.

"Those who lost their color did not participate."

"I signed a confidentiality agreement regarding the specific details of the commission, so I cannot disclose them. I apologize."

"Hmm?" Jiang Chenglian looked up in confusion.

"Why didn't the Miss Lost participate in the mission she was assigned to?"

The talkative Huan Guang explained:

"Because the woman before you who has lost her color is the daughter of the legendary mercenary, the woman who has lost her color."

"She inherited her father's name, so she is also called the Colorless One."

"We were just talking about her father."

"Oh." Jiang Chenglian nodded slowly, finally understanding.

It turns out that Miss Lost Color's father was also a mercenary.

Then I had something to write in my letter to my sister.
