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

Tang Ming booked a hotel and didn't get up until 11 o'clock to go to work. Otherwise, it would be a waste to stay in a hotel in the middle of the night and leave early in the morning... Anyway, Sister Hua had already given him a day off, and he didn't even have to go to work today, but he still drove to the company after leaving the hotel.

His colleagues had placed Lin Ruoyu's detailed information on his desk yesterday, but he hadn't noticed it. Now that he had some free time, he decided to go and take a look.

He glanced at his phone; Lin Ruoyu hadn't messaged him all morning. He didn't say much, took out a change of clothes he'd prepared in the car, and quickly dressed.

Fortunately, he was always grateful for the clandestine adventures, and it wasn't uncommon for his clothes to get damaged and need replacing. Otherwise, going to work in thin pajamas would be impossible to explain.

When he arrived at the company, Hua Lingyou was indeed not there; he wondered where she was enjoying herself. He tidied up the files piled on his desk and worked on his computer.

Although Hua Yiyou had given instructions that the team wouldn't assign much work or rush him, Tang Ming still felt a bit obsessive-compulsive about dealing with the pile of red dotted items.

After tidying up, he opened the file folder with some anticipation; inside were several pages of bound documents.

2021 was a historic year. Lin Ruoyu came to Fangzhou City from another place. She was 18 years old and about the same age as Tang Ming. They entered Fangzhou University together...

His subsequent life experiences didn't contradict what he knew. He sighed when he saw the sentence about how the two met through a classmate social event. He should have checked the other person's information earlier; he wasn't careful enough...

From the time they met until their marriage three years ago, there have been no issues with the information they've shared. It's worth mentioning that Lin Ruoyu's current company has only been established for less than a year, making it a relatively new company. Its main business is commercial activities, currently focusing on stage and costume design for the magical girl group Aurora, and has even secured orders for manufacturing peripheral clothing.

Tang Ming curled his lip. No wonder she admired magical girls so much; she must be a big customer.

He considered visiting Lin Ruoyu's company sometime to see how difficult things were for someone who worked so hard every day. Deep down, he also harbored some other thoughts—

Maybe I'll run into a magical girl. That Hoshino seems to be one of the members of the Aurora group.

Tang Ming glanced at it again and felt quite satisfied. The analysis of Lin Ruoyu's life trajectory, her contact with friends, and her abnormal behavior was comprehensive, and he had basically dug up Lin Ruoyu's network of relationships.

However, the information before they moved to Fangzhou City was vague. After the [Void Invasion], most of the connections between the cities were severed, and most people were even refugees who had fled here. There was not much information to be gathered from before, so there was not much that could be done.

For some reason, after comparing the data, Tang Ming felt somewhat bored and disappointed.

He had thought that before he lost his memory, there would be many wonderful and romantic stories between the two of them, but none of them happened... It was just an ordinary acquaintance, an ordinary attraction, an ordinary campus date, and a natural marriage after graduation.

They hadn't left the area in the past few years, and Tang Ming guessed that their trip to the beach was just a case of amnesia and a mental lapse.

"It's really as bland as water..."

Tang Ming shook his head, showing no dissatisfaction, and silently noted down the key points of each event.

On the one hand, it helps me deal with Lin Ruoyu's conversation, and on the other hand, it helps me recover my memories, as the feeling of misaligned emotions and memories is very unpleasant.

As for Lin Ruoyu's true identity, Hua Yiyou said this:

"My sister asked me to investigate. Her identity is fine, but her magical talent is ridiculously poor; she wouldn't even qualify as a lowly wizard. I didn't expect it to be you who requested a thorough investigation... You're quite selfless."

Tang Ming had done many "wrong things," so putting himself in Lin Ruoyu's shoes would make him suspicious. Since the people in the organization were so certain that there was no threat, he was completely at ease.

He couldn't help but chuckle. That was true; the probability of both husband and wife having something to hide was even lower than a beast accidentally crashing into a railing and dying...

……

The liaison from the Demon Extermination Department was in routine communication with Hoshino. Before Hoshino lay a damaged barrier device, now incapable of repelling or delaying the Void Beasts outside the city. Such devices would be recycled and disposed of by the Demon Extermination Department, replaced with new media and redeployed with ample magical energy.

"I've already placed an emergency barrier at this coordinate, enough to last half a day. Once it's set up, you don't need to do anything about it; it will dissipate naturally. Remember to repair the barrier by today, or the consequences will be unimaginable."

Lin Ruoyu frowned. After this round of inspection, she found that many of the magical barriers were damaged and could no longer maintain the city's airtight protection.

In reality, the Void Beasts outside the city are not much different from those teleported out by the cracks within the city. However, when ten, a hundred, or a thousand Void Beasts appear at the same time, the wizards in the city can easily be overwhelmed and killed if firearms cannot inflict sufficient damage.

Even if the magical girl manages to escape, the city will only be reduced to ruins.

"I understand, I will report it to the border defense department immediately."

"Perhaps some filth has already slipped in, and that 'cult'—they've infiltrated so openly. I wonder what kind of security they do on the land-based bridge?"

She looked at her teammates with a worried expression. Qiang Hongye, Jingjing, and the others were carefully checking for anomalies to prevent a disaster from occurring if even a small amount of void anomaly eroded the entire barrier.

I had just hung up the phone when another call came in seamlessly.

"Hey? Boss lady, you..." Xingyu greeted politely.

"There's something I need to tell you. Someone is investigating you—Lin Ruoyu."

A deep, magnetic female voice drifted from inside, its seductive melody like a gentle tickle on one's heart. It belonged to the cheongsam-clad proprietress of the teahouse.

"Who is it?" Xingyu asked in confusion.

"I don't know... I usually help people gather information through my network, and I just happened to see your name in a routine report this time."

"Nothing crucial was leaked, right...?" Lin Ruoyu asked cautiously.

The magical girl's true identity is her most vulnerable point; neither her social connections nor her fragile body can protect her from attacks from all sides. Unless she abandons all social ties and lives alone in a deserted place…

Lin Ruoyu knew of a magical girl like that, a girl who single-handedly became the guardian of the entire city. Her seven pages of power silenced all those with malicious intent, and she could easily annihilate even the Great Demon-level Void Beasts. She had no teammates; they all seemed to have vanished for various reasons, perhaps they were dead.

That kind of courage—at least Xingyu felt she couldn't do it.

"I checked and found nothing. It's all just your visible life trajectory. They even tested your 'magical talent'... You have a lot of impurities in your body. They rated your skills as mediocre. How mean!" the landlady teased on the other end of the phone.

"Hehe..." Lin Ruoyu gave a forced smile, no longer caring about the so-called magical talent.

"You're quite cautious in investigating your forces. I don't dare to track you back. You're just an ordinary person. If I alert you, it'll be all over," the proprietress explained earnestly.

"Yes, I understand, thank you so much, boss lady... I think I know who's investigating me now. They are indeed very powerful, but don't worry." Lin Ruoyu said thoughtfully.

"Who is it?" the proprietress asked curiously.

"A company secretary should be a little curious about me..." Fearing the other person might not understand, she added, "The company is backed by the [Wizard's Protectorate Tower]."

"...I see. No wonder their methods were so secretive and efficient. As expected, the level of the Co-Protection Tower is much higher than that of the Anti-Demon Department."

After giving the necessary reminders, the landlady readily hung up the phone.

After some thought, Lin Ruoyu realized that she had taken a bit of a risk yesterday. Because of a little worry and curiosity, she had put her true identity in a dangerous place. She reflected on her immaturity and vowed not to be reckless next time.

Ding!

Lin Ruoyu raised an eyebrow; Tang Ming had finally decided to send her a message.

"Should I apologize or pretend nothing happened..." Lin Ruoyu muttered to herself as she opened the chat window.

Tang Ming: ...Do you remember the class reunion tonight? It's Friday.

Lin Ruoyu: ...I remember.

She pouted. It turned out that he started the conversation with something serious, and she had no choice but to respond... Tang Ming was really something.

Tang Ming: The location has changed... A classmate passed away.
