My wife is a magical girl, how can I be the villain?
Chapter 16 Void, Void Beasts, Cracked Bubbles
"No, no, you taught me very well, I was just showing off what I've learned."
Tang Ming still retained the self-awareness of a corporate slave, reflexively expressing humility and adding simple flattery.
"Hmm... isn't it a bit awkward for you to say something like that, like a leader is on an inspection tour, while surrounded by a pile of corpses?"
Hua Lingyou wore a strange expression, her whole face conveying the meaning of "Are you kidding me?"
"Oh, sorry, maybe that's not quite right. I just react mechanically when I hear praise..."
Tang Ming's facial muscles stiffened, but he pretended nothing had happened.
"Although we are a legitimate company, we don't engage in these kinds of corrupt practices among leaders. If we're already going against the grain, why would we stick to the old ways? Wouldn't that be a pointless rebellion?"
Hua Lingyou used all the idioms she had learned in her life, and she felt very satisfied.
"Speaking of which..." Tang Ming turned his head and asked, "Doesn't our organization have a name? I've never heard of any title or anything like that."
"Isn't it Anmeng Insurance?"
"That's the company's registered name... I'm referring to our organization that does bad things," Tang Ming said, rubbing his forehead.
Hua Lingyou pulled a thin cigarette from her bag and put it in her mouth. "First of all, we don't call ourselves an organization that does bad things. What bad person would say they do bad things?"
"But I don't know what to call you..."
"Don't interrupt!" Hua Lingyou raised a pretty eyebrow. "Secondly, the boss said that Anmeng Insurance is our organization, and our workplace is Anmeng Insurance. There's no need to give the organization a separate name."
"He also said that once an organization has a name, it will always be tracked down by those with ulterior motives. We don't yet have the ability to deal with attacks from various forces simultaneously, so... let's just call it an organization and be done with it."
Hua Lingyou carefully repeated the boss's explanation to her, then helplessly spread her hands.
"Okay... I understand that, but where does our transformation medium come from? What does it have to do with the void?"
Tang Ming recalled the aggressive cicada-shaped phantom beast from yesterday and humbly asked his senior for guidance:
"Those Void Beasts yesterday clearly didn't recognize us, and even treated us like human flesh, killing us mercilessly... I thought we would know each other."
Hua Lingyou nodded. "In the public's perception, we are indeed all Void Beasts, as can be seen from the term 'Humanoid Void Beast.' Even the Anti-Demon Department and Magical Girls are lumped together in the intelligence files because we possess Void Aberration similar to that of Void Beasts."
Hua Lingyou squatted on the ground, stroking the purple silk threads swaying like seaweed inside the silver metal box.
"But the Void Beasts come from the void, while we are living, breathing human beings, that is obvious."
She paused for a moment, and when she noticed that Tang Ming didn't give any feedback, she continued.
"The medium through which we transformed originated from a deal between the boss and the Void, acquiring Void Anomalous Material that is extremely precious even in the Void, which is why we have achieved what we have today."
"What is the boss's purpose?" Tang Ming asked for the first time.
"You seem very curious?" Hua Lingyou said with a half-smile. "Let me finish."
"The human world and the void are not completely separated. When void beasts are transported to the world, they create black bubbles, which are black hemispheres that appear in various places in the city. Some void beasts will run out from inside them."
"These cracks are remnants of magic bursting through the barriers, and these remnants are not as small as the black hemispheres we see."
Hua Lingyou removed the crystals from the corpses and pulled out a thin, purple thread that looked as if it might break at any moment.
"The bubble is huge. The sphere on the ground is just the tip of the iceberg. In the vast space created by the magic explosion, there will always be some void anomalies left behind. Some void beasts were killed on their way here, and some were shattered by space, but the anomalies on their bodies never dissipate... and now they have appeared on these people."
"Are we the same?" Tang Ming looked at the silk thread in his hand and fell into thought.
"They're different. These brutes who mix flesh and foreign matter together have no right to be compared to the boss."
Hua Lingyou's words were full of respect for the boss.
"By trading with the void, we obtain the purest heterogeneous matter and master the power of the void. See, our transformation has absolutely no side effects!"
Hua Lingyou shrugged, looked Tang Ming up and down, and laughed.
"Really not?" Tang Ming didn't echo him, but instead narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Forget it, if you're still not comfortable with that, go experience it for yourself."
"So, what will our transformed forms be called? We can't just call ourselves Void Beasts like magical girls, can we?" Tang Ming asked with a strange expression.
No.
"I mean, what should we call ourselves after we transform... like Void Commander, Void Messenger, or something like that?" Tang Ming was still not giving up.
"No, do you think we're those chuunibyou magical girls? We don't need to sign our names before we fight. We don't care what people call us."
Hua Lingyou rolled her eyes so hard they almost reached the sky, and said irritably, "Anyway, we can't talk after we transform, so are we supposed to recite the menu and say you're Tang Ming and I'm Hua Lingyou..."
"Is this so embarrassing, senior...? I thought it would be a high-class organization with a trendy name."
Tang Ming's eyelids drooped, and he looked as if he had been completely disillusioned.
"He's still too young. He usually acts so serious, but I didn't expect him to be so immature." Hua Lingyou patted Tang Ming's back, which was almost bent over, and acted like an old man.
"If you want to cosplay, you should turn left and find the Fairy of Magic. But you brought a... from a place thousands of miles away, there's a story about a man who underwent gender reassignment surgery and sought a contract with a fairy. Of course, it didn't work out. You should take this as a warning."
Hua Lingyou spoke earnestly and at length.
Tang Ming straightened up and shrank to the side, avoiding Hua Lingyou's hand:
"Don't explain it in such detail, it's like I'm actually going to do it..."
"Getting back to the point, these people actually obtained these alien substances without our knowledge." Hua Lingyou's expression became serious, as if she had always been this solemn.
"Although it's pitifully small, there are channels in Fangzhou City that we haven't discovered, and we must solve this problem." Hua Lingyou coldly glanced at the few people on the ground who looked neither human nor ghost.
"Have you investigated the identities of all these people?" Tang Ming asked.
"They are all locals from Fangzhou. If they weren't brought in from other cities, then the situation is even more serious."
"Are we... going to attack our competitors and get exclusive distribution rights?" Tang Ming sorted out his thoughts and revealed a subtle expression.
"This summary is correct. If it were void anomalies from other cities, it would be understandable that nothing would happen. The boss can just talk to the other forces."
"If a new force has emerged from within... in order to prevent the Anti-Demon Department from finding out, we have no choice but to send them to heaven."
After saying this, Hua Lingyou's right hand was wrapped in purple silk threads, and her entire arm transformed into a sharp blade. With a gentle scrape, the two people who had just regained consciousness and were still breathing died on the spot.
The two stuffed all the corpses into the safe, which was like an otherworldly pocket, swallowing them whole, along with the grass, in a few swift movements.
"Excuse me, have there been any organizations similar to ours before?" Tang Ming suddenly asked on the way back.
"Of course there were, but they're all gone now." Hua Lingyou's bright eyes were hidden behind sunglasses that covered half of her face.
"Anmeng Insurance is the only company in Fangzhou City that can control void anomalies."
