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

In the quiet, classical attic, magical girls are having a tea party, but their posture doesn't resemble that of someone casually chatting over tea. Instead, they sit upright around a table, exchanging opinions as if in a formal meeting, with various pictures scattered haphazardly on the table.

"You mean, a lot of crystals generated by void anomalies have appeared in the old houses in these neighborhoods?"

Xunfeng frowned, her petite face contorted with brows, as she held a map of intelligence about the Demon Department in her hand.

"Could it have fallen from a Void Beast? After all, these places have been marked with signs of Void Beasts."

"That's unlikely. These crystals are clearly small amounts of heterogeneous material that spontaneously 'bloomed.' If it were a virtual beast, regardless of whether it was alive or dead, no part of the crystals would separate from its body." Xingyu shook his head.

"Those virtual beasts only have one source containing heterogeneous matter, and when we absorb it, it is extracted as a whole. But look at these pictures, it is clearly not extracted. Instead, it looks like these pitifully small amounts of heterogeneous matter can only crack open a part of it."

Xunfeng nodded and continued looking at the intelligence report.

Holding several photos taken by the wizards at the scene, Gun Red asked in confusion:

"Don't you think these crystals look like part of a person? No, no... they should be called part of armor."

Qiang Hong placed the photo in the middle of the table, and the others crowded around.

"Look, this piece looks like a waist guard, this piece looks like a breastplate, and this piece is quite badly broken, I guess it was attached to the leg."

"But... it looks like armor on the surface, but there's no room for a human body inside. It's more like a model for display."

Gun Red spoke slower and slower, finally looking at the inside of the crystal's seam and muttering to himself.

How do you know all this?

Li Shuang looked at her curiously.

Qiang Hong glared at her, puffed out his chest, and said, "My family used to practice martial arts. My dad was obsessed with these weapons and martial arts, so I learned a little bit about them from a young age."

"Yes, thank you for the information, Gun Red," Hoshino said approvingly.

"It seems someone has illegally obtained the heterogeneous material for research. Although it has nothing to do with the Void Beasts, it's even more troublesome."

"Thank you, Sister Xingyu—as expected, only I can serve you." Qiang Hong's previously arrogant expression instantly turned into that of a lapdog, clinging to Xingyu's side.

"What are you looking at?" A voice, though faint, rang out in the minds of everyone present.

A little fairy flew in from among the flowers outside the window. It was only the size of a palm. If you ignored its strange long ears and four transparent wings on its back, it would look like a tiny little girl.

"Yui! You're back." Gun Red looked up and greeted her.

The elf named Yui flew above the group, landed on top of Gun Red's head, sat obediently like a duck, and looked at the table with a puzzled expression.

"When I was looking for new seedlings outside just now, I also sensed the aura of the void, which was elusive, but I did not observe any air tremors."

Yui shook her head, deep in thought, but in the end she still shook her head.

"I went into the vicinity and saw similar crystals to those in the photo, but I suddenly felt a strong void anomaly, so I had to run out quickly."

"Oh, why didn't you say so earlier!" Xunfeng slammed down her teacup, looking at Yui speechlessly. "Where is it? Let's set off now."

"I was thinking of coming back to rest and have some snacks... but I didn't expect to see you all talking about this, so I had to tell you."

Yui's tone was somewhat aggrieved as she puffed out her cheeks and weakly explained.

The group of people didn't know what expression to make, so they could only take a deep breath.

Not long after, four beams of light flashed on the pavilion and then flew away into the distance.

Tang Ming and Hua Lingyou stood in a courtyard in the urban village. Next to them lay a corpse, its body wrapped in the same crystals as the group they had fought earlier.

"Let's drag you to the yard outside. This house is too small. I can't move if you stand here," Hua Lingyou complained, shifting her body slightly.

No wonder she complained. The old and dilapidated houses in the urban village were already a bit cramped for people, and after the two of them transformed, they grew several heads taller, and the ceiling was scratched with several deep marks.

Especially the body that encased Tang Ming, which was almost two or three times the size of his original body, made it difficult for Hua Lingyou to breathe, as a barbarian was crammed into the same small house.

"Won't passersby see us?"

"It's alright, these people chose a good location. This alleyway is either full of empty houses or the original residents have been evicted."

Hua Lingyou confidently stood with her hands on her hips, though of course she had no hands, and the sharp blades on her arms could only be awkwardly placed behind her waist.

"Thanks to the extensive patrols by the Demon Department's staff, this place would have been impossible to find otherwise."

Tang Ming looked around at the buildings that were tightly interlocked and nodded in deep agreement.

"I've never been to a place like this before."

"Hehe, is that so?" Hua Lingyou smiled emotionlessly. "I did live in these places for a while."

Tang Ming glanced at the other person, and seeing that the other person was unwilling to say more, he had no choice but to squat down and continue with his work.

He produced an exquisite metal rod from somewhere, stuck it into the ground, and the metal rod unfolded on its own, with its joints and transmission mechanism constantly locking and turning into a sophisticated instrument.

Tang Ming didn't understand the principle behind this thing, but it could completely scan magical information and was especially sensitive to fluctuations in void anomalies.

Soon, after the halo swept across the corpse a few times, the information about the corpse was transmitted back to the company.

The organization's technicians will analyze the source of the anomaly and its changes over time. If they can find any marker-like magical information, they may be able to follow the clues to find other members of the organization, or even its headquarters.

In the past few days, Tang Ming, following Hua Lingyou, has tracked down several of these people's strongholds, but after the Anti-Demon Department sensed the anomaly, they quickly withdrew from their original locations.

Although they rushed to the scene after receiving firsthand information, they could only find one or two people covering their retreat and destroying the data.

This has already alerted the enemy. Tang Ming looked at the corpse with suspicion in his heart.

After transmitting the data, Hua Lingyou reached out her hand, and the crystal enveloping the corpse immediately emitted a rhythmic halo. A strand of thread was pulled out from the crystal and flowed into Hua Lingyou's body.

Once the silk threads finished flowing, the crystals on the corpse immediately lost their luster, and their original obsidian-like sheen faded. At first glance, they looked like ordinary crystal blocks, casually placed on the corpse.

"Don't deactivate the transformation," Hua Lingyou said calmly, glancing at Tang Ming beside her.

Tang Ming waited for a while, and seeing that there was no movement around him, he was about to deactivate his transformation when he felt a soreness and numbness all over his body from being trapped in the body for too long. He instinctively wanted to get rid of it.

"It's not that I'm afraid of being ambushed; I'm still confident in my magical perception abilities."

"It's an unfamiliar place, and you never know what might happen to expose your identity. Once exposed, given our backgrounds, we're finished in this city."

Hua Lingyou withdrew her hand; the corpse on the ground was no longer of any value.

"Even if the Demon Exorcism Department detects the abnormality after the transformation and fights with it, it's better than social death."

Hua Lingyou looked at Tang Ming. Although neither of them had facial features and could not make any expressions, Tang Ming could sense the melancholy in her tone.

"After all, we are still human beings."
