Revolution, Cyber ​​Magical Girl!

Disaster Beast.

Just like magical girls, which seem to be detached from the "technology side", so too are disaster beasts.

They seem to have a long-standing connection with magical girls.

Unlike magical girls, who symbolize hope and miracles, the symbols of calamity beasts are completely opposite.

Despair and destruction.

In the story, wherever there are monstrous beasts, magical girls always appear to eliminate evil and spread hope.

But nowadays...

It is merely an existence that has long since disappeared into the annals of history.

Lu Chaoge had never seen a calamity beast before, but she was a magical girl.

After killing his opponent, Lu Chaoge regained his long-lost pure magic power.

That power was incredibly pure, incomparable to magic essence.

The sensations emanating from the Flower of the Heart convinced him that this was indeed the Calamity Beast.

Why is he a monster of calamity?

"Fufu doesn't know either."

Even seasoned cybersecurity professionals cannot answer this question.

Lu Chaoge stared intently at the corpse before her, trying to find something different about him...

But the other party is clearly a human being.

A strange noise came from a corner of the room, attracting Lu Chaoge's attention.

He walked over and scanned the space behind the wall with his prosthetic eye.

Lu Chaoge smashed open the wall with a loud rumble and went inside, discovering that it was a huge underground warehouse.

The scene before him caused his gaze to shift from initial confusion to surprise, and finally to anger.

Rows and rows of people sat cross-legged on the ground, including men, women, young and old. Their bodies were almost shrunken and could no longer be called bodies.

Electrodes were attached to their foreheads, and a dense network of loose wires, like a giant spider web, converged into the mining machines on the roof.

The lowest level of nutrient solution was connected to a tube and inserted into the chest of those people to maintain the most basic nutrition. Inside the ruptured chest, there were not many organs.

Organs, blood, human brain...

Network cables, instruments, culture tanks...

A cyber demon cave has been constructed.

Are they still alive?

Alive.

Are they dead?

died.

Lu Chaoge stood there for a long time, her emotions shifting from anger to silence.

It eventually turned into raging flames once again.

Without saying a word, he reached out and pulled off the dense wires covering the body of an elderly man next to him.

He had observed the old man; his condition was not bad, except that several organs had been removed and his brain had been connected for mining. He could still survive if rescued.

The electrodes were ripped off, and the old man opened his eyes in confusion, looking at Lu Chaoge in front of him.

However, the old man could not see anything; his original eyes had been gouged out and sold for money, leaving only dark, empty eye sockets.

After all, broiler chickens don't need vision.

But the old man could still hear the young man's shouts.

"Quick, you're free! Get out of here!" Lu Chaoge shouted at her, then moved on to the next person.

But his clothes were tugged at.

That withered, aged arm, as dry and bark-like as tree bark, was now gripping Lu Chaoge tightly, preventing him from leaving.

Lu Chaoge was taken aback and turned to look at the other person, only to see an almost humble plea on the old man's face.

"Please..."

"Go away! You're free!" Lu Chaoge could easily shake off the old man, but he was afraid that he would tear off the old man's arm.

"No, no..."

The old man's voice was extremely hoarse, his throat had clearly withered from not speaking for so long. So the old man reached into his chest, scooped up a handful of the remaining blood, and swallowed it.

She was finally able to speak.

But her words were not words of gratitude, but rather a plea born of fear.

"Please leave. This is my own choice, everyone here did it voluntarily..."

"What are you talking about?" Lu Chaoge's voice was filled with confusion and doubt, but then his eyes lit up with understanding.

"I know, you've been brainwashed."

"No, I wasn't brainwashed. It was all voluntary. I rented out my brain and body for 120 years. I signed a contract so that my son could work for the company."

Residual blood dripped from the old man's mouth, his eyes were hollow, his body was withered, and his face was pleading.

Everything about her made her feel like a zombie, a walking corpse.

The ground was no longer recognizable; filth and blood were mixed together, and the whole scene resembled a living hell.

Lu Chaoge suddenly felt a little breathless.

Watching the old man groping for the electrodes on the ground and trembling as he stuck them back on his forehead, Lu Chaoge gritted his teeth, turned around, and walked toward the next person.

It wasn't until several more people were confirmed that...

He eventually withdrew in silence.

His gaze returned to the corpse lying on the desk, and the lingering fear and terror in the other's eyes changed in Lu Chaoge's eyes at this moment.

It became hideous and terrifying.

That was not fear or terror.

Instead, it was mockery and ridicule.

The other party is clearly a human being.

Is the other person even human?

Can this person even be called human?!

Do not!

That's not a person.

It was a monstrous beast in human skin.

The calamity beasts have never disappeared; they have always existed!

It exists in this world!

It's just in a different form!

Justice always triumphs over evil, but unfortunately, this time, evil has won.

The magical girl failed to defeat the monster.

In the world right now, magical girls have been defeated by monstrous beasts.

With her chest rising and falling slightly, feeling her heart pounding, Lu Chaoge reached out and pressed it down, her gaze complex.

"He is a calamity beast."

"But he is clearly a human being." Fu Fu was still puzzled, even though DNA testing showed that the other person was human.

It was still pondering why the person in front of it was a calamity beast.

No.

Lu Chaoge shook her head, stretched out her hand, and the flower in her palm emitted a faint light.

His gaze gradually became incredibly firm.

"Capitalism is a monstrous beast!"

------

Lu Chaoge did not return to the underground city immediately. Instead, he contacted the NCPD and reported the underground factory.

He stood atop a tall tower, gazing into the distance as the NCPD surrounded the area before finally looking away.

The communication system relayed a message: it was Su-160.

[SuTu160: Why do you care about those people? It makes me spend a lot of extra energy.]

[Lu: Is everything settled?]

[SuTu160: I applied for gray-area medical care from the trauma team for them. Although it's the lowest level of medical care, it can at least save their lives. My authority only extends this far; they are not company employees.]

Lu: Thank you.

[SuTu160: You thank me? But they won't thank you; they'll only feel that you ruined them.]

Lu Chaoge didn't say much. He wanted to end the communication, but the old man's expression just now wouldn't leave his mind.

So he sent another message to Sutu160.

[Lu: One of the elderly women said she had a son who worked at the company...]

A reply came quickly.

[SuTu160: Found it. The labor dispatch company under the third-level subcontractor of the subsidiary went out of business three years ago.]

[SuTu160: Also, the old woman you mentioned died. Perhaps she was afraid of implicating her children, so she committed suicide. She didn't receive medical treatment and left a message for her son's account before she died, but she didn't know that her son was already dead.]

Looking at this message, Lu Chaoge remained silent for a very long time.

Did I kill that old man?

[Lu: What were your last words?]

This time, SuTu160 did not relay the message but instead intercepted it and sent it to Lu Chaoge.

Son, here's 0.3 @coins that Mom secretly mined. You can use them.

Mom is getting old and useless.

For some reason, Lu Chaoge's heart skipped a beat.

Lu Chaoge, who had been silent since leaving that cyber den of iniquity, was now overwhelmed by a surge of intense emotions.

The next moment, immense magical power appeared around Lu Chaoge, rippling out in concentric circles.

"Ah, Master, what's wrong! Stop it!" Fu Fu appeared beside Lu Chaoge, flying around anxiously!

At this moment, Lu Chaoge gritted her teeth and did her best to suppress her surging magic power.

The flower of the heart blooms with a dazzling brilliance.

He transformed almost uncontrollably.

Damn!

We're about to be exposed!

The thought had just crossed Lu Chaoge's mind when, suddenly, she seemed to feel an unknown gaze directed at her.

The brightly lit, technologically advanced city was suddenly plunged into complete darkness.

The entire 43rd district experienced a power outage and all signal disruptions.

Although it only lasted for a second.

But that's enough.

Lu Chaoge deactivated her transformation.

His body was almost paralyzed, but he still raised his head and looked up at the distant sky, at the real sky that could now be seen in District 43.

What was that thing just now...?

It was as if something, from an endless distance, had glanced at me from afar.

No, it wasn't "seeing," perhaps "seeing" isn't the right word; it was more like a kind of...

Observation.

The virtual panel of the system in front of them suddenly started flashing rapidly.

There seemed to be text appearing inside, but it was extremely unstable, as if the entire system was about to collapse at any moment.
