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

The two stood in opposite corners of the lobby, which was not particularly spacious and felt so empty that you could hear a pin drop.

Xingyu had never seen this illusory beast before. Qiang Hong had mentioned it before, saying that it was weak but had a strange speed.

The enemy wasn't strong, so she relaxed her guard a little. While using her magic to monitor the other party's every move, she began to examine the structure of the building.

She leaned closer to the glass, where she could see the trees and brick road outside, and she could also touch the glass.

The door cannot be opened.

Any force capable of shattering the wall vanished without a trace.

After studying for a long time, they found nothing. There was no one in the quiet space except for the huddled-up virtual beast on the other side.

After an unknown amount of time, Xingyu gradually felt uneasy and a little impatient.

Unable to summon the spirit Yui, and unable to sense anyone inside or outside the building, she vented her frustration by cursing at the ethereal beast before her:

"What are you doing, you beast, lying there pretending to be pitiful? Weren't you here to kill me? Why aren't you making a move?"

She knew she was doing something foolish; the Void Beast was uncommunicative and couldn't possibly give her a useful answer. But precisely because there was no one else there, only a cowardly Void Beast, Xingyu made no attempt to hide her impatience.

"All the other Void Beasts have rushed up to fight, why aren't you making a move yet? Stop dawdling and delaying my departure! Get lost!"

Xingyu circled the virtual beast, provoking it, but it was more of a waste of breath and an attempt to vent her anger.

The fact that she can maintain her transformed state indicates that the supply of magic to her body has not been interrupted, but the dim spell has never been restored.

In the game's parlance, the skill cooldown is stuck...

"This Void Beast is quite cautious. As expected of a humanoid Void Beast, its intelligence is indeed higher. Tsk... I was hoping you would rush up and die."

Facing the Void Beast, Xingyu gradually spoke her mind without restraint, taking advantage of the fact that the beast couldn't understand her, and openly researched how to easily defeat it.

Tang Ming on the other side was stunned.

Hoshino's impatient, tightly pursed lips and her rude behavior of constantly scratching her hair were a far cry from her image as an idol singer on television.

Tang Ming was neither a fan of celebrities nor did he know the other person, but during their two interactions, the other person maintained a standard warm smile.

Her meticulous and considerate nature, along with her great ability to take care of others' feelings, makes Xingyu the most popular magical girl in Fangzhou City.

It's reasonable for Tang Ming to accept the contrast between the idol's private personality and his real-life personality, but his original idea was thus thwarted.

Upon hearing Xingyu say she didn't know him, and even hinting that she was unaware of the chase in the urban village, Tang Ming felt puzzled, but a plan formed in his mind.

Since the other party had no recollection of what happened today, he prepared to explain that he meant no harm and that they could cooperate to leave this place...

In short, it means "surrender".

He even planned to find a pen and paper, or make some marks on the ground to prove that he could communicate if he couldn't speak.

In order to survive, Tang Ming had completely forgotten the organization's requirement for them to conceal their human identities.

But just now, Xingyu had been rambling on and on like a dumping ground for him. If he had said he understood, the other party would have become suspicious at best, and at worst... killed the "beast" to silence him.

Tang Ming shuddered. He didn't want to be silenced by a magical girl out of shame and anger.

After a while, Xingyu saw the tall and strong humanoid phantom beast in front of him sitting on the ground with its head in its hands, its hard and heavy purple crystal armor making it look like a ball.

"It looks a bit like... being raided for prostitution." Xingyu's face twitched as she made a timely comment.

Tang Ming was already used to it; these image-ruining remarks kept coming out of the other party's mouth, which only added a bit of fun to the eerie and strange building.

"What trick is this beast playing? Playing dead?"

Xingyu frowned and cautiously approached the other party. She sensed that the other party's energy was pitifully low, but having never faced a battle before, Xingyu would not make a careless, low-level mistake.

When Xingyu got within five steps of him, the other person, who was sitting on the ground, shrank back and forth, even swinging the claws on his arms back and forth.

"Are you scared? That's strange."

Xingyu covered her mouth, feeling incredulous.

Since being invited by Yui to sign a contract and become a magical girl a year ago, she has never seen a Void Beast that behaves so human-like.

Although many of the Void Beasts are classified as humanoid Void Beasts, they are essentially just bipedal creatures with frenzied and disorderly aggressive behavior, devoid of any human intelligence.

In comparison, those who call themselves "new humans" are at least somewhat more communicative.

The real world and the void are ultimately two worlds and two races that are incompatible.

But now, as Xingyu tentatively makes some movements, the virtual beast in front of her clearly reacts, although it occasionally becomes somewhat human-like and cannot understand what she is saying.

At least when it pretends to throw a punch, act angry, or tense, this humanoid beast reacts accordingly.

Xingyu withdrew her fist and closed the magic book in her hand. Sure enough, the other party went from being in a panicked position stuck to the corner of the wall to sitting normally, staring straight at her with a silly-looking big head.

Xingyu glanced at them disdainfully, sighed, and squatted down slightly, making a hooking motion.

Tang Ming was stunned; it seemed the other person was teasing him like an animal.

If he knew how ridiculous Xingyu found his efforts to imitate the anthropomorphic behavior of gorillas in the zoo, he would probably be more at ease.

Tang Ming sensed that the other party had withdrawn their magical power and the talisman in their hand had disappeared, but he still dared not make any rash moves, as he was particularly keenly aware of the other party's ability to cast spells instantly.

Tang Ming tentatively moved forward little by little, stopping when he was only three steps away from his opponent.

They were already very close; Tang Ming could even see the veins throbbing in Xing Yu's neck. Should he pounce on her and launch a sneak attack at this distance?

After a brief moment of thought, he suppressed this inexplicable impulse. The void energy within him continued to surge, but he knew that these magical girls who had protected the city so many times must have a backup plan.

Xingyu was somewhat surprised to see that the other party was obediently staying in place without making any other moves.

At this distance, a mere wave of the hand would be enough for the sharp, powerful claws to strike her frail body.

Almost all low-level Void Beasts would blindly rush up like this.

This virtual beast is indeed quite different. Xingyu decided to give it a special name when he returned; it should be number 6.

The golden ribbon on her smooth hair behind her back gradually returned to its original state.

She decided not to kill him directly; he was indeed too weak. She would keep him alive for later use.

Thinking of this, Xingyu took another step closer, opening her arms as much as possible to express her goodwill.

Fearing the other party might not understand, she put away her magic book and completely concealed the magical light emanating from her body, making her look like an ordinary girl in cosplay at first glance.

"Looks like you know you can't beat me..."

"I won't attack you for now. How about you scout ahead for me first?"
