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

Tang Ming felt that his luck was a bit bad, or rather, very bad.

He watched the yellow figure get on the elevator from afar, and just as he was about to squeeze onto the escalator to catch up, the crack appeared, and one after another, the void beasts jumped out of the black abyss.

When he looked up again for Lin Ruoyu's figure, she had already disappeared.

"Where did this come from? Don't tell me it was done by the company, or I'll really get angry!"

Tang Ming had no other choice. After cursing, he quickly bent down and followed the fleeing crowd toward the escape route. The area above the platform had already been occupied by the Void Beasts. Some wizards in the crowd were dodging the attacks of the Void Beasts while pouring out their magic power, although it was still a drop in the ocean.

Alarms sounded throughout the station, and the binding array set up by the Demon Department was activated, sending out magically imbued ropes that restrained the Void Beasts.

Fortunately, these virtual beasts had no specific target and were simply causing havoc in the station like headless flies. However, due to the enclosed and cramped space, many people were affected while trying to escape.

Tang Ming was also in a sorry state. Without his briefcase, he was just an unarmed ordinary person. His skills were passable for dealing with ordinary people, but in the face of the Void Beast's blade that could easily cut through steel, he could only try his best to find gaps to escape.

One after another, Void Beasts emerged from the cracks, and five were already wreaking havoc on the platform. Unable to cross the Void Beasts' territory to leave to the ground, Tang Ming and his group had no choice but to smash through the protective railings and jump down onto the tracks.

……

Meanwhile, inside the Anti-Demon Department, Zeng Que had just hung up the phone when another call came in.

"Feed? Miss Hua?" Zeng asked sarcastically.

Hua Lingyou immediately questioned, "Why did you open the bubble over there?! When did the company have this plan?"

"What's your rush..." Zeng Que rolled his eyes, coughed lightly, and explained:

"A new commercial district has been built in the old community, right? They've never been interested in Anmeng Insurance. They're all nouveau riche. We've tried to sell it to them a few times, but they still think it's unnecessary. They say that having the Anti-Magic Club and Magical Girls is enough... This is to show them the necessity."

"...Then why did you put it inside the subway station? It's such a small space, aren't you afraid it will cause serious damage?"

Hua Lingyou frowned, remained silent for a while, and then spoke coldly.

"If we just put them in the commercial area, we can't control the virtual beasts. If they're destroyed, we'll lose our customers..."

"This way, we won't hurt potential customers, and the subway station will genuinely scare them half to death. When sales improve, the boss will definitely be very happy!"

Zeng Que looked at the empty archives room, put his legs up on the desk, and leisurely mocked:

"Hua Lingyou, what are you trying to achieve with this phone call?"

"You won't get all sentimental and think I'm too cruel, will you? Surely not? We're a genuine villainous organization, don't act like magical girls just because you can transform, okay?"

After all the previous actions, Zeng Que was always the one who was criticized and ridiculed by Hua Lingyou. Now that he has a chance, he can't help but show off.

"You've made such a big fuss, what if one of your family members dies?" Hua Lingyou scoffed and retorted.

"That was really filthy... but none of my family members live there, thanks for reminding me."

Zeng Que paused for a moment, then added leisurely, "You don't need to be afraid. You only have one younger sister, Hua Yiyou, so she doesn't need to worry about you."

"...Tang Ming is right there," Hua Ling said softly.

"what?"

"Huh?!" Zeng Que stammered, "Did he...did he bring a briefcase?"

"no."

"Oh no... He's on his own now. By the way, how did you know he was there and asked you for help?" Zeng Que asked.

If the other party started cursing at him over the phone, he'd be in a bit of an awkward situation. He'd finally managed to build a decent relationship with Tang Ming, and if he beat him up the next time they met, Hua Lingyou would definitely applaud him...

"He was too busy escaping to even check his phone... He had a tracking device in his business card." Hua Lingyou clicked her tongue, clearly displeased with Zeng Que's behavior of doing something bad without notifying his colleagues.

"Hiss..." Zeng Que choked for a moment.

"Forget it, I'm not afraid if he comes back alive. Everything is for the boss and to earn the most resources for the company. Just leave me alone. These business matters are none of your business." Zeng Que chose to give up and gave Hua Lingyou the order to leave, preparing to hang up the phone.

"You'd better know what you're doing," Hua Lingyou threatened ambiguously.

"I know very well! On the other hand, you should be exploring the passage between the void and reality, instead of always coming here to point fingers at me."

"The boss gave you aliens and the ability to transform into virtual beasts, not so you could put on a show in the city!" Zeng Que retorted without backing down.

He already had a bit of a temper with Hua Lingyou, who, relying on her achievements at the company and being someone close to the boss, acted arrogantly every day.

As the director of the Anti-Demon Archives, he held a high position and wielded considerable power. How could he tolerate this woman's temper?

"When the boss comes back, you can expect him to scold you. With just a few clients you got by selling your looks... Don't actually think your job is sales!" Zeng Que's words were very vulgar and explicit, meaning he was ready to completely break ties with Hua Lingyou.

The other party had already attacked him with even harsher words, so he wasn't worried that Hua Lingyou would do something foolish because of it.

Hua Lingyou didn't really care, she just hummed in agreement and pouted, "Commendable courage, but that's how our organization is anyway, you'd better watch where you're going..."

Having said that, she had to wait for a reply before hanging up. Opening the location tracking app, watching the precise little dot move continuously within the subway station, Hua Lingyou shook her head and muttered to herself:

"Good luck, Tang Ming. I can't be there right now. I hope that magical girl who saved you several times will descend from the sky again..."

Hua Lingyou pressed the lock screen, tossed her phone aside, stood up, grabbed a few bottles of foreign liquor from the bar in front, and prepared to go all out.

She has always had a habit of needing plenty of alcohol after a tiring battle to relieve physical aches and pains, and also to numb the mental pressure from the outside world.

"Cheers! May the younger generation survive this calamity and escape to safety!" Hua Lingyou toasted her reflection in the glass.

……

"Where is Tang Ming? Where is Tang Ming? Where is Tang Ming?"

Xingyu flew close to the ground in the tunnel. As she approached the platform, many people jumped off the tracks and fled into the tunnel. She quickly leaped over them, blocking the pursuit of the Void Beasts behind her while turning her head to search for Tang Ming's figure.

"He was led astray by me and that's how he got into danger... I just didn't want him to die like this, without knowing why. There are still so many questions I want to ask."

Xingyu silently muttered to herself, but her hands and mouth did not falter in the slightest.

"Forbidden Killing Curse!"

"Search Spell!"

"Light Feather Shield!"

—She was throwing spells out of her magic book like they were free. The phantom beasts that had been drawn to attack the magical girl were pinned to the spot by the golden runes. A transparent wall of light stood behind Xingyu, which only humans could pass through naturally. The phantom beasts that collided with it were immediately bounced back.

"Eight Void Beasts have already emerged... Wushao and the others should be arriving soon, right?"

She first temporarily trapped the Void Beast. With so many people around, her priority was saving lives, and she didn't have time to focus all her efforts on eliminating the Void Beast. Besides that, she was also flying around, going back and forth, afraid of missing Tang Ming's figure.
