My wife is a magical girl, how can I be the villain?

Hua Lingyou sensed something was off about the other person's tone, closed her eyes, and sighed helplessly:

"Captain—you're overthinking it. Yesterday's battle was too intense; we exhausted all our alien energy just to escape. We couldn't suppress it because we lost control. Now the Order is facing its most dangerous moment. Do we really need to fight over such trivial matters among ourselves?!"

After speaking, Hua Lingyou stared coldly at the other person, her face full of indignation.

The young man hadn't expected "Captain Jia" to react so strongly. It seemed the people at headquarters were not only powerful but also difficult to deal with... His gaze shifted, and he immediately changed his attitude:

"Hey, Captain Jia... don't get agitated. I was just testing you. I wasn't at the helm when you came last night, you can understand my concern, right?"

The man played the sincerity card. "Captain Jia" was tough-minded, but information from within the church said that his subordinates trusted him greatly and even had close ties with the bishop... The man was determined to find out more about "Captain Jia".

Hua Lingyou's anger subsided slightly. She sat silently on the sofa beside her, picked up a disposable cup, and poured herself some water.

"Actually, it's like this... Headquarters suddenly sent so many people from Guangxian to Fangzhou City, there must be seven or eight training teams here! As the training team stationed here, I'm a little uneasy..."

The young man sat down beside him, his tone tinged with apprehension, "I just wanted to know...would you mind sharing some information?"

Sitting beside him, Hua Lingyou could clearly sense the unusual substances within the man's body. They weren't weak, but they weren't strong either.

Perhaps Fangzhou City has never been valued by the Order, and the only Order team lurking in the city is led by a captain who is only slightly stronger than a [Goblin-level Void Beast]. With Tang Ming's current strength and extremely fast speed, he can easily handle the situation.

Hearing the man's words, Hua Lingyou sneered inwardly.

Ask her to spill the beans? She was just about to ask the other person to spill the beans!

The fact that the new humans sent so many people to this city, which they had almost never set foot in before, couldn't possibly be just to help Anmeng Insurance capture a magical girl.

"You don't know? It's about cooperating with some big shot above, a joint operation..." Hua Lingyou glanced at the man sideways and said calmly.

"Hey, everyone knows that. The other day there was a huge commotion. The [Near Altar Training Team] and a bunch of Void Beasts that parachuted in to capture the Four-Page Witch, the one named Xingyu—but they still failed."

The [Near Altar Training Corps] is the core strength of the New Human Order, and each Near Altar Training Corps possesses the strength of the Emerging Cocoon stage. Whether it's a three-page magical girl or a unicorn-class Void Beast, they must avoid their sharp edge when facing them.

The captain of the near-altar congregation is the highest leader of the entire order. The two near-altar congregations the man is currently aware of are led by this person.

【bishop】

【priest】

"So the cooperative mission hasn't been successful yet," Hua Lingyou concluded, continuing the man's words.

"Hahaha... Captain Jia is joking. The priest himself is here, along with seven or eight other instructors. There are probably many more we don't know about! Such a grand display, just to capture a magical girl?"

"Half of the Order's headquarters' power has been moved to another place, just to do such a vague and unrealistic thing? Who can capture a magical girl?!" The man laughed out loud, somewhat losing his composure.

After laughing, seeing that Hua Lingyou didn't laugh but instead frowned in thought, he coughed a few times to cover up his lapse in composure, and explained to Hua Lingyou, fearing she might misunderstand:

"I'm not looking down on the Order! I'm not distrusting the priests' strength... but they're magical girls, you know, they're like they're blessed by fate, their magic is terrifyingly strong. Forget about such delicate work as encirclement and capture, we're all throwing ourselves at them, hoping to get close enough to break a skin or leave something behind."

As the man spoke, memories of besieging magical girls with the cult surfaced in his mind, and he was immediately amused and exclaimed:

"As a result... not even the clothes were torn. The amount of fabric was so small that it barely came off even after a long time of fighting. Brother Hu didn't even have a chance to feast his eyes."

Hua Lingyou rolled her eyes. Although the other person's words were a bit off, she still deeply agreed that magical girls were troublesome. However, she said something else entirely:

"It's not like we haven't caught them before. We can just find their main body and ambush them."

"That's useless... What I need is a magical girl's body. Didn't you hear the bishop mention its purpose?" The young man looked at him strangely.

Hua Lingyou said calmly:

"No... Magic doesn't help with heterogeneous entities, does it? This isn't a system at all. I've been leading teams outside for a long time... I know very little about these things."

"That's because you don't understand... It's said that a method was brought by an old friend of the bishop, using magical girls as a medium to transform foreign substances." The man scratched his head and thought for a moment before saying, "I don't know anything else."

Hua Lingyou carefully considered the other person's words. That "old friend" was undoubtedly her boss, but he had been away for several months and had never mentioned anything like this to her. However, men wouldn't lie to her about this...

Hua Lingyou memorized these things, and still remained expressionless as she said:

"In any case, there is no doubt that the cult has shifted its focus to Fangzhou City."

"That's exactly what I'm worried about! To be honest, I've been in charge of this area for several years. If this happens, what will happen to my position... Will I have to hand over the entire area under my jurisdiction?"

Hua Lingyou understood; the other party was worried that the significant relocation of the cult would affect his position. At best, he was just an ordinary captain of the same rank, who had previously been able to hold down Fangzhou City, gather followers, and develop core forces.

With so many people from the cult coming, not only is his position in jeopardy, but some of the dirty deeds he's been keeping from headquarters will also be exposed.

No wonder he tried to build a relationship with "Captain Jia" during his contact with him, but unfortunately "Captain Jia" was already dead.

She feigned confidence and continued, "It's no use saying all this. The relocation of the cult was inevitable. If there weren't reasons why it couldn't be moved, there wouldn't be such a large-scale operation... which has also disturbed the local organizations."

"Are you referring to the Anti-Demon Department, magical girls, or organizations that, like us, believe in Void Anomalies?"

"Of course it's the latter," Hua Lingyou said noncommittally.

"It's hard to say whether such an organization exists in Fangzhou City. Anyway, when I was selecting new recruits, I didn't notice any organization in the city that believed in the void... Everyone was busy licking the boots of magical girls."

"Oh? Many other cities?" Hua Lingyou asked in confusion. Anmeng Insurance was always very discreet, but the man's words seemed to imply something else.

"People in other cities aren't as fanatical about magical girls, and there are even quite a few conflicts between them. If Fangzhou City didn't have so few opportunities to develop new followers, headquarters wouldn't have sent me here..."

After listening to what the other person said, Hua Lingyou seemed to be deep in thought.

She had some suspicions about the New Human Cult's mobilization of forces in Fangzhou City.

Logically speaking, Fangzhou City did not provide the environment for their continued development, even without knowing about the "local organization".

Even so, the order remains determined to go its own way; at least the bishop has decided to come, and the priests seem to have been present during the operations of the past few days…

There must have been a crisis in Guangxian City that threatened the survival of the cult, forcing the two leaders to leave headquarters.

Hua Lingyou estimated that the crisis was definitely quite serious. The capture of the magical girl was just a smokescreen; the cult had been secretly transporting its members all this time. The new human members she and Tang Ming occasionally encountered were probably Guangxian City cult members who were new to Fangzhou City and behaving carelessly.

The boss has always been in Guangxian City, so he should know what's going on there. What exactly happened...?

The boss is certainly aware of the movement of the new humans. Why then would he use "cooperation" to facilitate the relocation of the cult? The other party's actions will inevitably encroach on the organization's sphere of influence.

What exactly is the boss planning?

Hua Lingyou kept all these questions to herself. She only needed to follow the boss's instructions. She didn't need to question what the boss said, although she had some doubts... She could only wait for the boss to come back before asking any questions.

"Captain Jia, what are you thinking about?" The man's voice interrupted Hua Lingyou's thoughts.

"Oh, I was wondering what kind of mess you've made to be so friendly with me." Hua Lingyou showed her first smile in a long time.

"Of course I didn't..." The man's face stiffened, and he was about to explain when Hua Lingyou raised her hand to interrupt him.

"No matter how much you have in Fangzhou City, I have a way to completely erase the truth about things that headquarters can't know about."

The young man stared at "Captain Jia's" smiling face for a long time, confirming that he wasn't lying. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he eagerly grasped Hua Lingyou's hands:

"You have a solution?! Could you tell me?"

Hua Lingyou withdrew her hand without leaving a trace, revealing a strange smile, unlike the playful smile of a middle-aged, composed man, but the man, immersed in joy, did not notice it.

"—Use disaster, use blood and sweat to dye it red, and everything can be washed clean."

"Does this mean... could you elaborate?" The young captain frowned slightly, seemingly having grasped the situation.

"Captain! There's a berserk Void Beast!" A member rushed into the office; the "Captain" he had just called was clearly directed at the young man.

"A berserk void beast... Has a rift bubble appeared nearby? Who opened it?!"

"No, it's a humanoid phantom beast, the same one that was with the [Near Altar Cult] a few days ago! It charged straight into the mine!"

The followers shouted, and then nervously looked back outside. The space outside was in chaos, and all the members left the hall to deal with the intruders.

"What?! Are they coming for us?"

Hua Lingyou was shocked and, taking the initiative, grabbed the young man's shoulder and said tremblingly.

She knew that the humanoid beast that was moving with the altar team was either her or Tang Ming. Judging from the time, Tang Ming should have broken in.

"The training team near the altar... the Void Beasts... could this be headquarters' doing, trying to eliminate us?"

"Perhaps I came here to deal with you... I just 'stumbled in,' but I've ended up here." Hua Lingyou "calmed down," took a deep breath, and slowly shook her head.

The young man didn't have time to ponder the reasons behind it all. The mine was narrow and well-defended, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack. But a Void Beast is still a Void Beast, and a humanoid Void Beast "belonging" to the Near Altar Cult. It was uncertain whether they could even get out alive.

The young man glanced at Hua Lingyou, his gaze hesitant. After a few seconds, he looked at the cult members in front of the door and said in a deep voice:

"Go and meet the enemy! It's just a Void Beast. A Void Beast without intelligence is nothing but a fool. Even if it's a [Unicorn-level], it's still just a Void Beast. We have terrain to defend. Lure it into the front hall and surround and kill it!"

Upon receiving the captain's order, the cult members immediately ran out, relaying messages to other members as they ran. The clothes on everyone's bodies began to tear, and purple crystals burst from their skin, making the already strong alien aura in the mine even stronger.

The magical girl and the Anti-Demon Club would never have imagined that Fangzhou City had such a large amount of void anomalies hidden there, enough to cause the city's patrol detection and alarm devices to explode on the spot!
