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

"It seems I'm not going to be able to leave..."

After Hua Lingyou narrowly escaped Tang Ming's attacks from all directions by bouncing up and down, the young captain, who was being carried on his back, patted her with his only remaining hand.

"The signal light in the sky is still there; at this speed, that beast will wear you down sooner or later..."

"What should we do then?"

Hua Lingyou paused briefly, then closed her eyes and said.

In fact, both of them knew what to do. The captain had lost his fighting ability and was almost out of life in the treacherous Voidquake Land. Even without Void Beast No. 6, he would have been trapped here and bitten to death by passing Void Beasts.

But Captain Jia refused to abandon him, carrying him around to avoid the harassment of Void Beast No. 6, moving slowly toward the altar.

Perhaps he could escape the pursuit of the Void Beasts on his own, but with him by his side, there was certainly no way to survive.

"I don't know why you still haven't given up on me... but forget it, your entire training team was wiped out, so there might still be a chance to rescue them. My men were basically all killed a dozen minutes ago."

"Are you really giving up?"

Hua Lingyou responded calmly, remaining "as usual" and not good with words until this moment.

Tang Ming's attacks became increasingly audacious, so Hua Lingyou had no choice but to remove the disguise from her lower body. Her slender, blade-like legs took nimble steps, increasing her speed to an extreme. She reached behind her back to support the captain on her back, and with a few somersaults, she dodged Tang Ming's sneak attack as he emerged from underground.

This guy's overacting! Real combat practice is just talk, does he really need to go through every single move? He even learned to use biomimetic transformations to burrow underground and attack... Hua Lingyou decided to give her disciple a lot of extra training in a few days.

"Anyway, thank you... You've been dragged into this mess, so it's okay if you turn around and run away."

The team captain here is still getting emotional...

"I can't escape even if I want to. I was trapped inside the base, and now if I don't go to the altar, where else can I get back..."

Hua Lingyou twitched the corners of her mouth, her tone becoming helpless.

The captain's consciousness was already somewhat blurred, and his five senses were in chaos under the influence of the alien substance. He couldn't even perceive that most of "Captain Jia's" body had changed, like a black tattered garbage bag wrapped around Hua Lingyou's back.

"Even so... thanks anyway. Be careful, don't die before you reach the altar... I have something to tell you." The captain's upper body armor had all fallen off, and the black, shiny shell had turned into skin covered in bloodstains.

"That ethereal beast is likely connected to the cult. Perhaps headquarters wants to eliminate me before moving into Fangzhou City. I just don't know if it's the [Bishop] or the [Priest]'s doing... If you get to the altar, you'll likely encounter the priest. Don't tell me you've seen me before..."

"...I've got it." Although Hua Lingyou found it amusing, she nodded seriously. From the captain's perspective, this analysis made sense.

Anmeng Insurance has always kept a low profile and has never made a move against the local cult. This time, the Void Beast suddenly came to the door and massacred the branch. Coupled with the cooperation between Void Beast No. 6 and the Near Altar Cult a few days ago, it would be strange not to suspect the priest.

Unfortunately, the poor captain was completely wrong. The reason their branch was destroyed was indeed the priest and the cult headquarters, but it wasn't the cult that did it. Anmeng Insurance couldn't allow external forces to invade their "territory," so they became Hua Lingyou's first target.

"I met a lot of people locally, and learned some information about them from various places. I'm not willing to just let it all go... Let me tell you... tell me, pfft!"

Hua Lingyou spread out a large shield behind her, deflecting most of Tang Ming's impact. However, the force still reached the weakened captain's back, and without the protection of the crystal armor, his fragile internal organs were shaken so badly that he vomited blood on the spot.

"Tang Ming! We're at a crucial plot point, a crucial piece of information, don't mess around!" Hua Lingyou said angrily.

"Okay, okay, I felt the alien was getting a little out of control, so I couldn't stop..." Tang Ming explained.

Hua Lingyou rolled her eyes at this blatant excuse, though the other person couldn't see it.

It's out of control. It wasn't out of control before, but it's out of control now, right?

"The bishop can change bodies and control his own form, and his true form never appears... But you should know him, so I won't say more."

"I don't know, tell me more..." Hua Lingyou cried out in her heart.

"The priest has the ability to construct illusions. His alien energy is invisible and can freely travel between reality and the Void Shock Land... cough cough! That is, the altar. His people should always be staying there."

Hua Lingyou suddenly understood. No wonder the group of people she was working with could disappear from the city in an instant, without a trace.

That priestess possesses the ability to construct large-scale bubbles, allowing her to "escape" the city at any time. They can't even uproot the New Human Cult from Fangzhou City...

Where to pull it out? The roots are still in the air-shaking area!

Hua Lingyou had thought the sect's problems could be easily resolved, and she planned to settle them before her boss returned. Now, however, the situation seemed less than optimistic.

"I know that too... The priest can hypnotize and psychedelic; his unique properties are quite remarkable."

Hua Lingyou pretended to understand and responded indifferently.

"You know quite a lot. I have some things to tell you, and I need to ask you for a favor..."

Although no one would eavesdrop in this godforsaken space, the young captain still sat up and whispered something in Hua Lingyou's ear.

"There are a few people in those three departments as well; you can use the talisman to identify them... If you're lucky enough to escape, please help take care of them... cough!"

Hua Lingyou revealed a barely perceptible smile, her eyes slightly upturned... She had finally obtained the most important information!

It was all for nothing that she put so much effort into acting. If in the end she still had to be coerced into confessing, or even fail to get the confession, then it would be a disgrace to her title as Hua Lingyou's top sales performer.

Her understanding of her profession is: always tailor the most suitable scenario for the "client".

Hua Lingyou didn't immediately turn hostile after receiving the information. She wanted to finish the act and provide the "service" properly. She wasn't about to show off and get slapped in the face.

Hua Lingyou laid her barely alive body on the ground, knelt beside her, and silently looked at the captain she had only known for a day. The Void Beast that had been sneaking up on her from the side also "appropriately" did not rush up to interfere.

"I've noted down what you said... I'll clean up the mess for you after I get out."

"Thanks, that's fine, just leave me here... never mind, I'm afraid of pain, just kill me." The captain thought for a moment and said with a painful smile.

"This..." Hua Lingyou hesitated, gripping the other person's sleeves tightly with both hands, but did not make a move.

"The Void Beasts are too cruel... Humans are even more cruel, but it doesn't matter. I'm afraid that if I fall into the hands of that beast, I won't die for half a day. It would be better to just slumber than to live a life worse than death..."

"Ahem! Let's get started!"

The captain widened his eyes, used his last bit of strength to lift his head, and glared fiercely at Hua Lingyou, giving the order.

"Okay, I won't forget you... I'll help you walk the road ahead."

Hua Lingyou closed her eyes, shed a tear, and whispered.
