Starting with "The Demonic Cultivation," I had no choice but to pretend to be a magical gi

Although it seemed like she wouldn't die, and she hadn't even figured out what was going on, Lin Zhixia had no intention of accepting the favor.

I won't tell.

She stiffened her neck and closed her eyes again.

She took the initiative to meet Gu Yun's hand with her fair neck and spoke slowly and deliberately.

"Please kill me."

"Anyway... whether I die early or late, the outcome is the same. Even if I become a ghost, I will never bow down to you executioners!"

Wow, he's a tough nut to crack.

Gu Yun really wanted to say that ghosts are also part of the demonic path, and still fall within the scope of magical girls' business.

But she didn't say anything in the end. She simply withdrew her hand and, in her mind, spoke to the nightingale who was already drawing circles in the corner.

"See? Only important characters have this kind of unyielding attitude. If they were just ordinary people or passersby, they would have already spilled their beans."

After all, he was a great cultivator of the demonic path. Gu Yun felt that he would definitely be of great use in the future, and he had already begun to prepare, trying to correct his outdated and corrupt ideas.

"...You're absolutely insane."

The nightingale replied weakly.

"She's just terrified of dying, you've scared her half to death, okay?"

Gu Yun chose to turn a deaf ear.

She paced a few steps in front of Lin Zhixia, her boots clicking on the ground and the shackles on her legs clanging.

"Since you want to play this game, I'll try a different approach."

Gu Yun stopped, turned his back to the girl behind him, looked up at the pitch-black night sky, and his ethereal voice became somewhat erratic.

"Let me guess..."

She deliberately drew out her words and adopted a standard opening gesture.

"Do you think I'll know nothing if you don't tell me? There are no secrets in this world, especially not the Magical Girl Association."

All evil and heretical forces will eventually be brought to justice!

Lin Zhixia suddenly opened her eyes, her eyes filled with surprise and doubt.

Gu turned around, held up one finger, and immediately began to make up stories on the spot.

Anyway, these so-called dark side stories only follow a few formulas, and you can always find a pattern by combining them.

"A distinguished family background and an enviable life of privilege are things that many people could only dream of for several lifetimes."

As she spoke, she moved closer to the girl in front of her.

"But that kind of life wasn't as happy as outsiders imagined, right? The most important person to you... that woman who once had power and was adored by countless people, suddenly vanished one day."

Lin Zhixia's wine-red pupils suddenly dilated, and her breathing became rapid.

Gu Yun saw this and knew he had guessed correctly.

Ha, a typical dark tale of a wealthy family!

However, his expression remained unchanged; he simply intensified his efforts, his tone becoming increasingly resolute.

"You searched every corner, looked for every clue, and you suspected that some force had taken her away... or that she was already dead. You felt that there were unspeakable secrets hidden in that glamorous circle, and the brighter the light, the deeper the darkness."

She walked up to Lin Zhixia again, and because of her height, she had to stand on tiptoe to almost touch her face with hers.

The whole thing fell apart almost instantly, but luckily Lin Zhixia didn't have time to dwell on such trivial details.

"Because I didn't want to implicate my father, nor did I want him to be involved in this inevitable conspiracy, I chose the most foolish path, abandoning my identity and wandering in the corners of the city, trying to touch the truth with my pitiful strength."

At this point, Gu Yun chuckled softly.

Judging from the expression on the person's face, she had already figured everything out, and her guess was probably pretty accurate.

"Am I right? The runaway rich girl."

"How could you...?"

Lin Zhixia suddenly felt as if she had lost all her strength and abilities, and staggered back a few steps.

These things... these secrets that I kept hidden deep in my heart, secrets I dared not even dream of speaking of.

Why does this unfamiliar magical girl know everything so clearly?

Her mother, a member of the previous generation's top magical girl group, mysteriously disappeared one day, leaving her only a strange note that she still can't understand.

After failing to find anything through various investigations, she could only pinpoint the clues to the Magical Girl Association. In order to prevent her father from being targeted by the association and to avoid implicating her only family, she left only a letter and ran away from home.

……

Past events and incidents flashed through Lin Zhixia's mind.

Everything—

Why do you know this so clearly?

Why...?

Lin Zhixia finally couldn't hold back any longer and shouted it out with a sob in her voice.

"Who told you that?! Were you one of the people who took Mom away?!"

The nightingale fell silent within Gu Yun's consciousness.

She glanced at Gu Yun, then at the girl outside who was already questioning the meaning of life, and suddenly felt that this world really seemed absurd.

Am I really out of touch with the times?

"I……"

Lin Zhixia just gritted her teeth.

The girl's powerful flashlight had fallen to the ground at some point, rolled a few times, and illuminated her face, which was already somewhat unrecognizable.

She bent down abruptly, picked up the broken bricks from the ground, and despite knowing full well that she had no chance of winning and that they couldn't even break through the defenses of a magical girl, she still raised this ridiculous weapon.

Then, they launched a desperate charge.

Lin Zhixia was simply seeking death.

She was really exhausted. Maybe if she died, she could see her mother again?

The idea was wonderful, but the reality was harsh.

Gu Yun did not respond to the girl's chaotic attacks.

It's so slow, so incredibly slow.

Just as the broken bricks were about to hit her, Gu Yun exerted force with her feet and kicked out hard.

The iron shackles on her calves seemed to come alive, springing up like venomous snakes and striking Lin Zhixia's wrist with a crisp clang.

The brick flew out of his hand instantly, smashing to pieces on the ground.

Then, the figure of the purplish-black magical girl stepped forward, easily grabbing her slender neck with one hand, lifting her off the ground, and then pressing her onto the concrete floor.

"That's incredibly stupid."

Gu Yun spoke in this way, but there was still no extra emotion in his voice.

Lin Zhixia kicked the air in vain with her two legs and tried to pry Gu Yun's wrists open with her hands, but unfortunately, she was no match for the magical girl's power.

"So, why don't you become a magical girl?"

Gu Yun finally lowered his head.

Lin Zhixia was stunned.
