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

Chapter 150: Is He Jin the Void Beast No. 6?

"No problem! There's no one here. Didn't you see the magic shield outside is always on?"

The woman, her face pale from blood loss, still spoke with a hint of joy.

"It looks fine, so we'll definitely trigger the alarm when we go out?" the man asked, stroking his chin after checking the area.

"There's no other way. We have to carry out the captain's orders quickly. The sooner we gather intelligence, the sooner we can get back. We don't need to come back to this place anyway."

The woman took out a compass. Inside the round glass dome in the center were tiny bubbles the size of fingernails. With this, they could teleport back to the [Voidquake Land] at any time. All the team members who came out used this to evade the search by the Demon Department.

"It's infuriating! I really don't understand why there are void detection devices everywhere!" The woman stuffed the compass into her pocket, her face full of impatience.

"If even a tiny bit of foreign matter is released, it will trigger an alarm, so we have to use bubble cracking every few people we arrest."

"We've already used up over fifty compasses today. These things are quite troublesome to make," the man agreed. The city's numerous void detection devices kept them from showing themselves, and the hundreds of people could only huddle at the altar, occasionally popping out like gophers.

"How could Guangxian City be like this? Don't they have any privacy at all?! They're being monitored everywhere—come on, aren't those magical girls afraid of their identities being exposed? How can they let the authorities do this?"

The woman was completely baffled. Every building with a name had a detection device installed on its roof. The members of the cult were afraid of being ambushed, so they always preferred to conduct their business from the rooftop. This was because many people had already been caught using this method a few weeks ago.

"It's said that the people who provide corpses for the priests in the near-altar cult have all been exposed at the funeral home. It used to be such a leisurely and lucrative job—" the man said, unable to suppress a chuckle as he thought of something.

"They can be arrested even at a funeral home? That can't be right. The Near Altar Cult isn't weak either, those wizards—" the woman exclaimed in surprise.

The man continued, "They are two magical girls. Our informant has observed them; their names seem to be Hoshino and Gungumi."

The woman curled her lip: "That's really unlucky—maybe they just happened to run into those magical girls attending a funeral."

"We can suggest that the undercover agent try to find the list of people from that day; perhaps the person was among them during that afternoon's time slot." The man's eyes lit up.

The woman nuzzled the man's waist with delight: "Especially young girls, the priest can send people to track them down one by one—you're so clever!"

Xingyu, who was silently listening from the side, chuckled silently when he heard the other party's complaints. When he heard the list of people the cult wanted to infiltrate, he frowned and a plan came to mind in an instant.

The two members of the cult were still searching the mine for anything of value, but of course, they found nothing.

"Fangzhou's Anti-Demon Department is really something else. They're so meticulous in their monitoring, yet their wizarding team is patheticly incompetent. They're quite thorough in looting, leaving nothing behind—" The woman clicked her tongue.

"It's incredibly lucky that this city has remained peaceful until now. If our entire order had brought in all its resources, we would have razed this place to the ground long ago." The man raised his chin, somewhat proudly.

"Don't even think about it. Although magical girls can't leave the city they're protecting at will, those damned monsters will still make a move if absolutely necessary—don't forget about Guangxian City." The woman poured cold water on him, giving him a light warning.

"Don't embolden others. Once the bishop arrives, with the bishop and priest present, the [New Humans] will surely be able to make a comeback!" the man declared emphatically.

"I believe it too—let's not talk about that. Do you know that He Jin?"

Upon hearing the familiar name, Xingyu's ears immediately perked up.

"I know him, but I didn't expect him to be a Void Beast—no matter what, betraying the Order means certain death." The man frowned as well.

"We need to capture them alive, no, just gather information on them. We're no match for them."

The woman took out her phone and checked He Jin's face with the man again, along with a face of a humanoid beast covered in crystal armor.

Whoosh—

As if a thin film had been torn away from the wall at the edge of the hall, a transparent light curtain descended, and Xingyu stretched her body before walking up to them.

Without saying a word, he flicked his index finger, and the woman's phone immediately flew out of her hand and landed in front of Xingyu.

"You're Xingyu?! How long have you been hiding here?" The woman stared in horror at her own hands, then at the other woman. "I've thoroughly checked this place; there shouldn't be any living thing here. How could you ignore the corrosive effects of this alien substance?"

The man beside her glared at her resentfully, then began to pull his legs back, "blocking" the woman in front of him.

Xingyu looked down at the photos and coldly reminded them, "I suggest you don't run. There are trap spells at the tunnel entrance, and don't even think about resisting. You can't escape from this enclosed space."

To confirm her words, a milky white ring shimmered on the ground around the opening in the office behind her, its harmless white surface radiating a magical fluctuation that made the symbiote extremely uncomfortable.

The two swallowed hard, and the man returned to his side-by-side position, not daring to move.

"So He Jin is actually Void Beast No. 6, or rather, No. 6's true identity is He Jin. How come you have 360° high-definition pictures? You even had time to take pictures at the scene of the battle?" Xing Yu said casually.

Xingyu knows about the imprinting technique that records information through magic. Could it be that heterogeneous substances also have this use?

Seeing a possible opportunity for reconciliation, the woman hesitated for a moment before replying, "Our boss can create illusions and then record them on film—"

She thought about it and realized there was nothing wrong with sharing this information.

"Hmm—the priest is skilled at creating illusions, even to the point of being indistinguishable from the real thing. Not only can he construct them from memory, but he can also record everything he sees with a camera. He's truly amazing. I've witnessed his skill firsthand."

"I'll have to be careful when I kill him from now on, lest I'm fooled by a 'completely realistic' dummy."

The priest's level of danger rose another notch in her mind. Such a dangerous enemy was entrenched in the land of airquakes and could even appear in the city at any time. The joy she had felt from obtaining so much information was instantly shattered.

Seeing that she knew about the priest's abilities and was even wary of him, the woman immediately dared not speak again.

The man's hand was in his pocket, and crystals formed from a foreign substance flowed from his fingertips, enveloping the phone in his pocket.

"What are you doing?!"

Xingyu raised an eyebrow and unleashed a spell, forcibly pulling the man's hand away and slamming him against the wall behind him.

She then saw that the center of her palm, which had completely transformed into crystalline armor, was a cell phone component reduced to dust.

"So decisive. Looks like you've got a lot of good stuff hidden in your phone." Xingyu looked at him coldly.

The man turned his face away, revealing a disdainful smile, and said no more.

His phone contained information about another woman he was ordered to find. That woman was of utmost importance to the priest, and he absolutely could not let the magical girl know about this beforehand, otherwise the priest's punishment would be one that would condemn him to eternal damnation.

Hua Lingyou, who was watching TV series at home, sneezed. Her younger sister, who was holding a notebook next to her, didn't look up but handed her a tissue at the right moment.

"My head is itchy, I wonder who's thinking about me—" Hua Lingyou scratched her head, crumpled the tissue into a ball, and threw it into the trash can.

"Being targeted is not a good thing," Hua Yiyou commented.

Xingyu's gaze swept over the man, and finally she said noncommittally, "In any case, we'll know once we get back to the Demon Extermination Department and interrogate him."

She disliked interrogation; if the other party was unwilling to talk, she could only give them a life or death answer. The Anti-Demon Department, on the other hand, was a professional; professional tasks should be handled by professionals.

"No—no! You can let us go back and place a restriction on us so we can act as your spies." The woman's eyes darted around, and she immediately knelt down, leaving the man beside her dumbfounded.

Xingyu stared at her coldly without saying a word.

"Or you could come with us to the Land of the Skyquake, then you can find out whatever you want to know for yourself—"

"[Luoyin Feather Blade]."

-

The woman's voice suddenly stopped as a chilling feathered blade spun around her neck, its feather-like edge bearing fine, sharp serrations that occasionally brushed against her burning skin.

"Buzz~ Buzz~ Buzz~"

As she trembled, pieces of crystalline armor instantly sprouted from the woman's skin, clinging tightly to her neck and blocking the path of the feather blade.

After casting the spell, Hoshino casually crossed her arms and said, "Do you think magical girls are easy to fool? Or—do you think I'm easy to talk to?"

The woman dared not move, her neck stiff and rigid. She knew that the crystal armor on her skin could not withstand the floating feather blades. The white feather blades gently scraped, leaving a cut on the crystal armor, which was then "repaired" by the foreign substance in her body in an instant.

"No—don't get agitated, we haven't done anything wrong. This is our first time out here. Aren't magical girls supposed to be kind girls?" The man hanging on the wall spoke, unable to hold back his pleas.

"Kindness?" Xingyu's eye twitched.

"Yeah, aren't magical girls all innocent and cute girls like this? They wouldn't kill you so easily—" The man paused, glanced at his sweating companion, and continued.

"All the magical girls in Guangxian City have this image, so how come you still got kicked out? — Do they have better image management?" Hoshino pondered seriously.

The image of magical girls among the citizens is very important; no one wants to be scorned by everyone while acting as a "vigilante." Perhaps some don't care, but most magical girls don't have that kind of mental fortitude.

The man blinked, not daring to speak.

"Alright, I can let you go now." Xingyu sighed.

"Oh? Really?"

"You can leave, but I'm taking this man back to the Demon Extermination Department." Xingyu pointed to the man on the wall, who fell down and landed beside Xingyu.

"Why—can't you let the two of us go?"

"Those who associate with the void and fall to the point of coexisting with aliens are the enemies of magical girls. How could I possibly let you go? Sending you back is just to deliver a message to the priest." Hoshino paused for a moment.

"I let you escape last time, so you'd better not show your face in front of me again. Guangxian will drive you out, and Fangzhou will become your burial ground."

After saying that, Xingyu flicked a [Floating Spell] at the man who was dazed and confused from the fall. The two of them floated in the air, passed through the outer magic shield, and flew directly out.

"What I just said wasn't just for the priest, it was also for you."

Before leaving, Xingyu left behind a final sentence, and the mental pressure carrying a strong magical power slammed into the woman's mind, scaring her so much that she collapsed to her knees on the spot.

Hoshino didn't actually want to let that woman go. She hated the Void Beasts and even more so all symbiotes that betrayed humanity. Capturing the Anti-Demon Club was the right thing for a magical girl to do.

But she needed the other party to "help" her with something.

"Lord Xingyu, what brings you here?"

Landing on the lawn of the Anti-Magic Department, the patrolling wizards flew down from the rooftops, restrained the unconscious man, and skillfully fastened the anti-magic handcuffs.

"That staff member has already been locked up and interrogated overnight. Do you want to personally—" the wizard asked tentatively.

"No need, you can investigate. Is the minister still here?"

"Uh, it's still there."

"Alright, you guys go ahead and get busy." Xingyu didn't hesitate and flew towards the minister's office with her toes barely touching the ground.

"Miss Xingyu? What brings you here so late?" Fang Chan looked up, her capable face revealing an appraising gaze.

"Minister, aren't you still working too?" Hoshino smiled gently, unlike her cold demeanor towards the church members.

"I'm still a new official here, and the foundation is unstable. There are so many things to deal with, such as personnel management, financial information, and cooperation matters—sometimes I'm quite envious of you magical girls."

Xingyu could tell that the envy in Fang Chan's eyes was genuine. A magical girl who had mastered stronger magic could indeed get rid of many of the constraints in her work.

"You can talk to Wushao about these complaints later. I have something to say." Xingyu wasn't familiar with Fang Chan, although Wushao said she could trust her to a certain extent, which was why she came directly to her.

"Please speak," Fang Chan gestured, raising her hand.

"Next, stop searching the list of people who entered and left the funeral home today. Make the reason obvious. After this, who else in the surveillance department would secretly access the list? That person is very likely a mole within the cult."

"You've set a trap for them?" Fang Chan thought for ten seconds and then nodded approvingly. She understood what they were thinking.

"It's good that you understand. Although it may not be useful, no one in the Demon Department would usually care about the list of ordinary people. They arrested those five people today, and with these two tonight, they definitely won't sit still," Xingyu analyzed.

"I understand. Most of the people in the Demon Department are lazy, and it's easy to find a reason to stop them from working—thank you, I'll contact you if I get any news."

"Okay, I'll be going now—oh, by the way, remember to remind the border defense department to get the barrier repaired as soon as possible."

"Okay, I will give the order."

After accomplishing his mission, Xingyu left the Anti-Demon Division directly.

Regarding the issue of the cult's mole, she chose to trust Fang Chan. After all, the New Human Cult did not have a deep foundation in Fangzhou City, and its headquarters were in other cities. For the minister of the Demon Department, there was no need for him to defect to an external force, whether out of interest or emotion.

Xingyu didn't care about the intricate web of power within Fangzhou City, as long as it had nothing to do with the Void Anomaly. If Fang Chan truly betrayed them, then she would have no choice but to punish her mercilessly.

"Number 6—He Jin, why does this name seem familiar? I've never heard of it before, and I've never seen you before either," Xingyu murmured.
