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

"Oh?"

Hua Lingyou licked her lips, her meaning cryptic, and said, "But without you, wouldn't the other companions be completely cut off from the cult?"

The captain shook his head. The shattered crystal armor on his skin turned into threads and hid inside his body. Realizing he was safe, he deactivated his transformation, and aches and pains surged from all over his body.

After adjusting to the discomfort of exhaustion for a while, he explained to Hua Lingyou, "A training team has two people, a captain and a vice captain. Unless they are separated for special missions, the team usually acts together. If they really lose all contact... there's nothing we can do about it. This is normal exhaustion."

When Tang Ming heard that there was also a vice-captain, he was about to ask about her identity, but he realized that she couldn't hear him. Hua Lingyou had deactivated her transformation and could no longer transmit information to her through the alien medium.

Hua Lingyou seemed to have guessed his thoughts and immediately asked, "So only you and the other captain can contact the local stronghold... Could he betray you?"

"Absolutely impossible! Those who join the church do so for a shared purpose..."

Seeing Hua Lingyou's impatient expression, the captain's voice grew softer and softer.

Hua Lingyou curled her lip, "Don't talk nonsense. Even if your alien substance is under a restriction, who can guarantee that those people won't use some strange magic to pry it out?"

"In front of magical girls... one should still have some self-awareness."

The captain was speechless for a moment, then muttered a rebuttal: "Heterogeneous substances have never been inferior to magic. Magic is a deception concocted by demons from beyond the heavens to harm humanity... It has no future..."

"Yes, if I didn't believe that, I wouldn't be talking to you here," Hua Lingyou said earnestly. "But if the token falls into the hands of the Demon Extermination Department, they might follow the trail... if he's not dead."

"You mean...?" The captain's eyes widened.

"We can go and rescue him. There aren't many powerful wizards in the Demon Department." Hua Lingyou opened her innocent big eyes and sincerely patted her proud chest.

The captain breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that the woman was very confident and somewhat naive, he confidently took out a photo.

"His name is Ding Jiu, and he looks like this. Apart from Fan Hong, who sacrificed himself before, he is the strongest in our team. We would be extremely grateful if any of you could help rescue him."

After saying that, he glanced at the other person and couldn't help but offer a word of advice: "If things really get really difficult, his sacrifice is inevitable for our great cause... Don't let the letter fall into the hands of evil people."

Upon hearing that the wizards of the Anti-Demon Department were actually called "villains," Tang Ming couldn't help but laugh out loud. Of course, their conversation was completely unaffected, as they had already reached a consensus.

"Mmm, once we find them, I'll have him break in." Hua Lingyou patted Tang Ming's head sweetly. "He's very strong."

"Then I'm relieved. I feel I've recovered quite well. I'll have to deal with some internal injuries back at the base. Could you please help me bring them to the city and leave them there?"

He certainly couldn't let the other party take him directly to the [Newtype]'s base; he still had that much to be wary of.

Hua Lingyou wasn't in a hurry. She stood up and rubbed her arm, which was feeling uncomfortable. "What does that token look like? If that person is searched, we can steal it back."

The captain glanced at Hua Lingyou with suspicion, a hint of wariness in his eyes. He hesitated before standing up, saying, "It's alright. If he has already revealed something, I will contact the other training teams to relocate as soon as possible..."

"Let me tell you what the token is first?" Hua Lingyou asked with a smile.

"You...you don't need to go to such lengths." The captain thought he could continue to stall, but he had already sensed something was wrong; the other party had crossed the line. But to break off relations here... He glanced at the ethereal beast beside him, its entire body covered in hard amethyst, and swallowed hard.

Although Hua Lingyou didn't say anything, Tang Ming already realized that the conversation was about to end. He stood up, ready to wait for his senior to speak before taking action.

"Looks like we've talked enough... You don't need to nervously rummage through your pockets." Hua Lingyou unlocked the briefcase.

"Anyway, there's no chance to ask anyone for help!"

The silver metallic shell melted away instantly, turning into threads that wrapped around the soft, beautiful figure. The fiery body transformed into black crystal armor, with strands of purple netting interwoven at the seams of the crystal surface.

"You! You're also a Void Beast?!" The captain was shocked and took several steps back, causing the alien substance to burst out from his body.

Hua Lingyou took a big step, did a backflip, planted her hand blade in the ground, and cut her opponent in half with a kick.

"I……"

The captain couldn't utter a complete sentence. The alien substance's erosion directly severed the opponent's life force. Not even blood flowed from the cut surface, as it was completely isolated by Hua Lingyou's "blade".

"You're making your move so quickly? I can handle this..." Tang Ming stepped forward and glanced at the target, who had been chatting enthusiastically just moments before. Even now, the captain still had his eyes wide open, looking utterly astonished.

"I'm afraid you'll hesitate if you wait until you make a move. He's already realized something's wrong, so it's better to avoid things getting complicated." Hua Lingyou shook the dirt off her hands; her obsession with cleanliness extended even to her transformed body.

"Let's search for anything that looks like a keepsake..."

Hua Lingyou deactivated her transformation, the alien substance faded, and she returned to being a briefcase, quietly placed to the side.

Hua Lingyou squatted beside the corpse, rummaging through every pocket like she was rummaging through trash, carefully feeling around inside.

"Did you find it?" Tang Ming opened his mouth but realized the other person couldn't hear him, so he had no choice but to obediently stay by his side.

The captain brought quite a lot of things. Hua Lingyou laid them out on the ground one by one: booklets, signal transmitters, cell phones, rings, boxes... and some strange props, all of which seemed to be related to the cult.

I have no idea how they managed to stuff so much stuff on their bodies... No wonder these weirdos from the New Humans all wear long black robes, it turns out they weren't just trying to look cool.

"Which one do you think is the token?" Hua Lingyou raised her head and twisted her neck.

"..." Tang Ming looked at her.

Hua Lingyou rolled her eyes at him. "Revert to your transformation, otherwise how will you hear what you're saying?"

Tang Ming scratched his head awkwardly, quickly deactivated his transformation, and ran to Hua Lingyou's side with his briefcase.

"Don't keep consuming the alien matter if there's no danger. It also needs to 'eat' to replenish its energy," Hua Lingyou said irritably.

"Okay, I understand." Tang Ming stood humbly before his leader, accepting the criticism.

"So which one do you think is the token?" she repeated the question.

"Hmm... Generally speaking, exquisite and quirky items are more suitable as tokens, but the things these charlatans carry are quite bizarre..."

Tang Ming suddenly realized, "Could it actually be a coded message? Let's kill him right now..."

"It's probably impossible, and there's no need for it..." Hua Lingyou shook her head in denial, but Tang Ming sensed that her tone lacked confidence.

"Why aren't you saying anything? Surely not..." Hua Lingyou nudged his waist with her elbow.

"It's hard to say... Don't ask me." Tang Ming turned to the side and silently backed away, unwilling to take the blame.

"Now you're saying this... why didn't you stop me earlier? As a senior, I'm very disappointed!" Hua Lingyou said angrily.

The other person is still dying with their eyes wide open after what you did, how could I stop you... Tang Ming silently shook his head.

"Fine, take all the money and treasures. Wrap these items up and swallow his alien substance."

Hua Lingyou grabbed her thick, beautiful hair, rubbed her head, and said with a headache.
