Hua Lingyou ran for ten minutes, then turned around and could no longer sense any magical aura, finally letting out a slight sigh of relief. Ahead, Tang Ming had already put down the leader he was carrying and was sitting on a wooden stake waiting for her.

This is a desolate place at the foot of Xishan Mountain. Apart from the occasional glance from the patrolmen, no one visits this place most of the time.

This is the true edge of the city; once you leave here, there is no one else to be seen. Only after traversing this vast, uninhabited area can you reach another city.

But this is not a primitive wilderness. Abandoned old buildings still sit at the foot of the mountain. Even if you keep going out of the city, there are many bustling towns and villages along the way. However, it is impossible to see anyone in these modern buildings nowadays.

Bubbles can appear anywhere, and Void Beasts can emerge. At the very beginning of the Void Invasion, countless towns were slaughtered by dozens of Void Beasts. Those who were lucky enough to escape did not dare to cower in place and wait for an unknown death, and spontaneously gathered in the large cities on the side.

They weren't sure if they could settle down in the city, but their inherent humanity drove them to seek out more of their kind and band together for warmth.

Neither cold weapons nor the rare firearms could inflict significant damage on the Void Beasts.

Swords, axes, and hammers go without saying; the Void Beasts' tough bodies and crystalline armor can even withstand magical attacks. Using high-yield explosives can only barely eliminate a small number of Void Beasts, and even then, accuracy cannot be guaranteed.

Massive numbers of Void Beasts stormed into the town. Without wizards and magical girls specifically tasked with combating Void Beasts, the town would be utterly destroyed after numerous sacrifices.

The towering mountain blocked the scorching sun, and Hua Lingyou stepped into the shadows, taking a look at the organization leader who looked like a dead fish.

"What do we do?" Tang Ming asked.

"I'll deactivate my transformation and talk to him to find out what other secrets they have." Hua Lingyou looked around warily, checking if any magical marks had been left on her.

"Does he recognize your face? Isn't it a little...?" Tang Ming asked hesitantly.

Hua Lingyou glanced at him and said matter-of-factly, "Anyway, this is the last time he'll see me, so I definitely can't let him leave."

"So... how did your organization make contact with the New Humans?" Tang Ming changed his question.

"This was arranged by the boss from different cities. I don't know the specifics of how the deal was reached, but You is in charge of the cooperation here."

"Anyway, I'm just a henchman, I don't know anything more than you. With our identities... it's not suitable for us to show our faces often." Hua Lingyou helplessly spread her hands.

Tang Ming sensed that there was more to the other person's words than met the eye, but unable to get any information out of them, he had no choice but to give up.

Hua Lingyou gestured for Tang Ming to wake the leader, and Tang Ming then carefully slapped him twice.

"Ugh! Cough cough..."

The leader opened his bewildered eyes, his small eyes gathering information from the scene before him. After a while, he finally focused and saw Hua Lingyou, who had deactivated her transformation, and the tall humanoid beast standing to the side.

"You are...?"

"I am Yi You's older sister." Hua Lingyou did not answer directly, but only hinted at it.

"Oh, I see. The action I taught Fang Zhou was to communicate with her. You really are very similar to her."

The leader sized up Hua Lingyou. Apart from her even more voluptuous and unrestrained figure, her appearance did indeed resemble the woman he had met a few days ago. That woman was a trusted person designated by the bishop, and it was said that yesterday's operation was a gesture of goodwill from the bishop in order to make contact with a mysterious and important figure.

For this purpose, several independent teaching teams were specially dispatched to Fangzhou City to communicate with the local religious organizations, and he was the captain of one of the teaching teams.

Seeing Tang Ming sitting obediently to the side, he believed Hua Lingyou even more.

Even the Void Beast that appeared yesterday obediently followed behind her, so it's probably really an organization cooperating with Fangzhou City.

The captain secretly observed Tang Ming and couldn't help but sigh, "True Void Beasts are indeed far more powerful than humans..."

"I'm sorry, we couldn't save the other companions. A beast that hasn't yet broken out of its cocoon can't resist two magical girls," Hua Lingyou said apologetically, clasping her hands together.

"It's alright. We're already very grateful that they came to our rescue. As for our colleagues... they all sacrificed themselves for the future of the Order. The future of the New Humans will surely be built by them!"

The captain's expression smoothly shifted from dejection to determination, and his resounding words and piercing eyes left Tang Ming, who was "watching the show," completely stunned.

Is this a terrorist organization? Is this a cult? ...Even the captain's words are so eloquent.

Tang Ming suddenly felt that his organization was too haphazard, constantly exuding an aura that the boss was about to run away and the company was about to dissolve... He had never even met the boss.

"Do you have any further plans?" Hua Lingyou nodded, then her eyes darted around before she asked, "Yesterday's trap was such a pity; we didn't manage to capture a magical girl..."

"That's normal. Although three training teams were dispatched, and even more..." The captain swallowed the words that were about to come out, glanced at Hua Lingyou, and continued.

"Magical girls are not so easy to deal with. We were prepared to suffer a crushing defeat, but it was all for the sake of some promises."

Hua Lingyou pursed her lips, seemingly lost in thought, her eyelashes fluttering mischievously as she said:

"Your cult asked the boss for something, right? The boss told me everything."

"Ah...you know, it's probably your boss, anyway, he's a big shot, I'm not qualified to know." The captain was a little surprised, and hearing Hua Lingyou's familiar tone, his judgment of her rose another level.

However, he couldn't sense any unusual aura or magic from either Hua Yiyou or the girl before him. He also had no idea how they had "tamed" such a powerful humanoid beast beside him.

The team leader glanced at Tang Ming, who was sitting upright beside him. Although it was inevitable to come into contact with Void Beasts in the Void Tremor Land, it was still quite frightening to be this close.

"Why didn't you leave after the operation was over? Why did you plant more people in Fangzhou City?" Hua Lingyou changed the subject and asked quietly.

Both the captain and Tang Ming looked at Hua Lingyou. The captain was surprised that the other party knew about the sect's secret plans; Tang Ming was completely dumbfounded.

Weren't the New Human Cult completely wiped out, and are the remaining members all preparing to find a chance to escape?

What is this again?

The captain and Hua Lingyou exchanged a silent glance, the captain trying to figure out if the other was bluffing.

"We've been working in Fangzhou City for many years... How could we not know about the movements of the Demon Department or something like that?" Hua Lingyou leaned against Tang Ming beside her, ignoring his greeting.

"It's a little uncomfortable... don't make a fuss about it." It's unclear who she was saying this to.

The captain thought about it and agreed. Besides, it was still uncertain how many of his team members could escape. In this unfamiliar city, they would inevitably have to rely on the other party. As for future plans, the other party would have no way of knowing.

"Let's be honest, there have been some problems in Guangxian City, and the sect has decided to stay put for the time being and not go back."

Guangxian City is the stronghold of the "New Humans" and the place where the Order is based. Since they can't go back to where they are now, it's understandable that they're temporarily lying low here.

"Oh, the boss is still on a business trip in GA City, I understand."

Hua Lingyou nodded, somewhat worried: "Then how will you find other teams? You might be all alone now. If the other girls are captured by the magical girls, they might betray you, or even us."

"Don't worry! Our fellow members are all made of steel; torture won't work on them!" the captain declared.

"I understand, I understand..." Hua Lingyou rolled her eyes.

"Besides, the captains all have tokens. Without me, they can't find the other training teams on their own. Even if they confess, they can only implicate me as the captain. But without me leading them, they know practically nothing about this city. You don't need to worry."

Hua Lingyou's eyes lit up, and she became interested.
