Go to work, and then educate magical girls.

Chapter 44 Seeds

"They've been in this room the whole time."

Upon hearing Ziwan's words, Tang Feng immediately and carefully examined the girl's entire body.

The seed on her body remained dormant, showing no magical reaction, indicating that she was completely in control at this moment.

As for Ziwan's words, Tang Feng would only smile to himself and let it pass.

When one's power is strong enough, no supernatural events will exist in the world.

His gaze toward the girl held a hint of pity.

It turned out she was a girl with mental health issues.

"Why can't I see them?" Tang Feng asked.

"I can't see them, but I can feel them. They're in this room, watching me."

Tang Feng didn't say anything more. He didn't know the specifics about Zi Wan or her parents.

In this situation, when facing a girl who may have mental health issues, it's best not to say too much, lest you upset her.

It would be bad if this affected her becoming a magical girl, and besides, she's currently full of uncertainties; whether she can truly become a magical girl is still a question mark.

He planned to find someone to find out more about the specific situation of Aster after he got back.

For now, he can only go along with what the other person says and chat about trivial matters, such as questions about his studies and life.

Ziwan invited him to stay for dinner, and what was served was a simple meal of two dishes and a soup.

The soup was bland and watery; the only thing that could be considered meat was the egg drop soup.

They sat down at the small square wooden table, occupying two sides.

Aster also placed a pair of bowls and chopsticks on each of the other two sides.

"I'm starting to eat."

The girl clasped her hands together and spoke with utmost sincerity.

Tang Feng finished his dinner in silence and then said goodbye to the girl.

Straightening his collar, Tang Feng strode out of the dilapidated shantytown.

The dilapidated streetscape along the way contrasted sharply with the upscale residential area where Jinju lived, but it didn't evoke much emotion in Tang Feng.

This is a result of uneven urban development; it's a temporary growing pain. Perhaps soon, this shantytown will be demolished.

By then, this place will also be filled with high-rise buildings.

But those who are lost and confused do not know where to go.

"Hey, sir."

Around the corner not far away, two young men who looked like sixteen or seventeen-year-old hooligans were leaning against the wall of a building, looking at him.

"Uncle? Are you calling me?" Tang Feng asked, looking puzzled.

The two men, with brightly dyed hair, were blowing smoke rings in a pretentious manner. One of them, with blond hair, had a ferocious pattern tattooed on his arm. He threw his cigarette butt on the ground, stomped on it, and then walked towards Tang Feng with a malicious look on his face.

Two thugs, one in yellow and one in green, approached Tang Feng, sized him up carefully, and clicked their tongues in amazement. "Looks pretty well-off. Are you the new daddy of that girl who lives in that house over there?"

Tang Feng naturally knew that the "father" the other party was referring to was not a father in the real sense, but rather meant "father living".

He straightened his suit jacket. "What, is that not allowed?"

"Oh, you're quite the actor."

The blond-haired man approached with a mocking smile. "You know this is illegal, right? If you don't want the police to come after you, you'd better pay up."

"How many do you want?"

Upon hearing this, the blond-haired man tilted his head back, poking his chin with his index finger, seemingly deep in thought.

A moment later, he held up one finger. "Judging by your appearance, ten million, I guess."

"Ten million..." Tang Feng pondered.

At this moment, another guy with green hair came over and whispered in a lewd tone, "Hey, how's that girl? We've been craving her for ages. Why don't you bring her over to keep us company, and we'll waive half the price."

"Stop wasting your breath on him. Money is the most important thing. With money, you can have as many women as you want."

"Boss, there aren't many top-quality girls like this. You've seen her pure and innocent charm before. How could any girl you find outside possibly taste as good as this one?"

"What you said isn't without merit..." Huang Mao pondered for a moment, "Here's the deal, the money can't be less, and we have to have the girl too."

"The boss is brilliant!"

Tang Feng then spoke up, "What if I don't agree?"

"Disagree?" The blond-haired man laughed loudly, pulling a shiny object from his waist and gesturing it in front of Tang Feng. "Look what this is!"

"knife?"

"That's right, and if I just shout, most of the people in this area will come out, and you won't be able to leave."

"The people here are surprisingly united?" Tang Feng was slightly surprised.

"Without unity, how can we survive here? How can we get higher compensation for the demolition if we're not united?" The blond-haired man exaggeratedly brandished the dagger in his hand and sneered, "You rich people would never understand how terrifying it is when the poor go crazy."

"Then why did you bully that girl? Aren't you supposed to be united?"

"There's nothing we can do. Her parents are dead, and she's so beautiful that she arouses criminal desires. There are countless people here eyeing her. So, take my advice, leave that dangerous woman, pay up and run away."

Tang Feng glanced back at the dilapidated bungalow with its gate tightly closed in the distance, and shook his head as he thought of the girl's difficult life.

"Don't you know she's a mage? How dare you attack her?"

Upon hearing this, the blond-haired man scoffed, "A magician? You mean that kind of trash who can barely make a few objects float? Is it as powerful as the knife in my hand? It's not like I'm a magical girl."

At this moment, the green-haired guy chimed in, "You're talking too much. Whether you give us the money or not, our patience is limited."

Tang Feng sighed. "Then I'll ask one last question: how do you plan to treat that family?"

"Isn't it obvious? Just a helpless little girl, getting her house demolition compensation is a piece of cake, right? As for her..." The blond-haired guy licked his lips, thinking of the girl's incredibly innocent face, and revealed a lewd grin, "Of course, I'll fuck her until I'm satisfied..."

The last syllable of the blond-haired man's voice was drawn out, and he looked down at his chest in disbelief.

There, an arm was already deeply inserted into his body.

The green-haired man next to him also had the same shocked expression; his chest had also been pierced by an arm.

"Hmm..."

"you……"

The two men made a choking sound in their throats as if they were dying, and blood kept oozing from the corners of their mouths.

"Sorry, I don't like people calling me 'uncle'."

Tang Feng suddenly pulled his hands out, and gushing blood gushed from their chests, causing them to fall to the ground.

Tang Feng held two still slightly beating hearts in his hands, examining them carefully.

"Oh, it's red..."

After examining them for a while, Tang Feng casually tossed them on the ground.

He chased after them casually, as if stubbing out a cigarette butt.

With a "splat," the two hearts burst open like fresh, juicy lemons, the lemon juice spurting out and splashing more than ten meters away.

"It's a shame you're not eccentric."

Tang Feng snapped his fingers, and the two corpses, along with the blood on the ground, slowly turned into black ash.

Soon, the black ash completely disappeared without leaving a trace.

He casually wiped the blood off his body and swaggered away from the filthy shantytown.

After returning home, Tang Feng found the principal's secretary's phone number and asked her about Zi Wan's specific situation.

The secretary only knew that the other party was an orphan, but she didn't know the specifics. After all, there were so many students in the school, and she couldn't possibly know every single one of them in great detail.

Tang Feng decided to go to Jinju and ask her to inquire at the Magical Girl Association, since the association had written the letter of recommendation and must know something.

An Jinju had already eaten dinner and taken a shower, and was alone in her room, lying on the bed looking at her phone.

The content on the phone screen, however, was quite surprising.

It turned out to be a short video that was inappropriate for children.

With the mindset of being a good little slave girl, this knowledge might come in handy in the future.

An Jinju changed her lying position, her eyes unusually serious. She slightly squeezed her legs together, and the screen light reflected on her face kept changing.

yesterday……

Tang Feng thoughtfully gave her a day off and left her a bottle of solution with unknown side effects.

I finally managed to find an excuse to brush off my sister, and then spent another day in bed before I regained some energy.

And right now, looking at the screen...

Because I was wearing a loose nightgown, it wasn't too difficult to do this.

By the time she realized it, it was too late.

An Jinju's cheeks flushed slightly.

There must be something wrong with the medicine he left behind, it must be!

Fortunately, no one saw it...

The curtains fluttered gently in the night breeze, like undulating waves.

An Jinju suddenly remembered that she had clearly closed the window, but the swaying curtains indicated that the window was currently open.

An Jinju's heart tightened instantly.

She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the figure behind the curtains.

"What? That's kind of scary."

"Go on, just pretend I don't exist." Tang Feng leaned against the windowsill behind the curtain and didn't come in.

"...You saw it all just now?" An Jinju couldn't help but cover her face.

She wanted to disappear into the ground.

Her embarrassing posture and movements were all seen by the person in front of her.

An Jinju lay on the bed with lifeless eyes, like a salted fish that had lost its dreams.

Finally, she remembered to put her nightgown back in place, which had been lifted up to her waist.

A hand suddenly reached out and stopped her.

Tang Feng looked at her and smiled gently, "Let me help you."

.

Moon stars are rare.

A streak of orange light appeared in the sky above the city, flashing across like a shooting star.

Jinju is on her way home from the Magical Girl Association.

The Magical Girl Association is open 24 hours a day, and there are people on duty even late at night.

Besides, it's not too late now.

Tang Feng had just asked her to go to the association to find information about Aster. Her first reaction was that she was worried that Tang Feng had a new target.

"Aster is quite nice, but I won't lay a hand on her until she becomes a magical girl."

Tang Feng said as usual.

Jinju sighed. She knew that the other party had an extremely obsessive obsession with magical girls, but she was powerless to truly stop them and could only maintain the superficially unfair agreement.

She could only pray that Ziwan would become a magical girl later.

Such an idea is utterly ridiculous when applied to a senior magical girl.

But Jinju had no other choice.

Unless Fengye can discover Tang Feng's identity and successfully send out the message, attracting the strongest group of magical girls, there is no possibility of annihilating him.

Seemingly sensing Jinju's worry, Tang Feng smiled and said, "Don't worry, her path to becoming a magical girl won't be so smooth."

Being targeted by a monster of that caliber was her misfortune.

Although the seed inside her body currently appears lifeless and has no effect on Aster, Tang Feng does not believe that the other party went to such great lengths only to leave behind a useless dead seed.

Because there were no signs of life activity, the seed had completely merged with the girl, becoming one with her.

Even Tang Feng couldn't remove it without harming the girl.

While Jinju was at the Magical Girl Association, Tang Feng was standing on the roof of the tallest building in Binhai City, looking down at the thousands of lights below.

From this height, the dazzling lights below resemble a sky full of stars, adorning the dark backdrop.

Tang Feng held his breath and focused his mind. The next moment, the surrounding air trembled almost imperceptibly, and an invisible wave spread outwards from him like ripples.

The area is... the entire coastal city!

In that instant, an endless stream of information flooded into his mind.

The sounds of countless families talking, the friction of wheels on the road, the fiery collisions in hotels, the hustle and bustle of night markets, the hissing of aphids gnawing on leaves, and the rustling of stray cats rummaging through trash cans—everything appeared in his mind in great detail.

Information flashed through his mind, and Tang Feng meticulously analyzed it, searching for the same aura as the seed within Zi Wan's body.

After a quarter of an hour, Tang Feng slowly opened his eyes, a hint of confusion in his gaze.

"Isn't it here?"

He remembered the missing magical girl, so he changed his target to the magical girl and continued his exploration.

Soon, he sensed the shadows of several magical girls.

One, two, three... six, seven.

There is no eighth one.

Has that magical girl met with some misfortune? Or was she taken away by the strange person behind the scenes?

Tang Feng pondered whether things would be different now if he had agreed to Jinju's request a few days ago.

But right now, even he can't find the mastermind behind this without a clue to follow.

Meanwhile, Jinju is rushing back with information she obtained from the Magical Girl Association.

Upon seeing this information, she felt a deep sense of sympathy for the girl.

Her parents died unexpectedly, and she lived alone in a poor and chaotic shantytown, where everyone around her was eyeing her pitiful state with hostility...

Jinju also noticed the last line of text, which stated that the girl had caused a person to go missing and that she had most likely killed him.

In other words, she is a murderer.

Indeed, Ziwan's belief that the police had not found any evidence and were helpless against her was merely wishful thinking on her part.

In reality, the police found the deceased's footprints and signs of entry at her doorstep, but because she was a minor and acted in self-defense, she was not pursued excessively.

Furthermore, the police discovered that the deceased was a notorious womanizer who had committed numerous crimes, which led them to deduce the general course of events.

The incident is essentially a legitimate act of self-defense, but whether the self-defense was excessive is no longer important given these preconditions.

In addition, the Magical Girl Association discovered her amazing magical talent and coordinated with her. After observing her for a period of time, they felt that she had no major problems and allowed Ziwan to enter the Magical Girl Academy to study.

Jinju was thinking about how to help this girl subtly in the future, since such people are often very sensitive, have a strong sense of self-esteem, and often mistake other people's kindness and help for pity and sympathy.

She was passing by a secluded street corner when she suddenly noticed something and fell from the sky.

She was a pretty and lovely girl, wearing a thin sailor uniform, but her development was remarkably advanced. At this moment, the girl was sitting alone on the marble tiles, looking around.

And it was someone they knew.

The orange fell beside the girl.

"Lime, what are you doing here so late?"
