As Abigail, I caused trouble in infinite space.

Not long after they started walking, Abigail and the others saw Yuri Naganuma rushing over.

"Yo, Naganuma."

Abigail greeted them, and Yuri Naganuma then walked over to the two of them.

"Didn't you want to see Warcraft? Well, Warcraft is showing up, let's go together."

Upon hearing what Yuri Naganuma said, Abigail wondered if the thing that frightened the little ghost was the so-called monster.

Whether it's what you imagined or not, the thing is in front of you, so you'll know what it is once you see it.

After walking a short distance, the three saw some dark, human-like figures walking towards the shrine.

"Is that thing a magical beast?"

Looking at these ominous-smelling things from afar, Abisel asked Yuri Naganuma, who was standing beside him.

"Yes, these are magical beasts, but these few have obviously just formed and are not much of a threat. We just need to eliminate them."

"Speaking of which, isn't it a good idea to let these strange magical beasts roam the streets like this?"

Seeing that these monsters seemed to have come from another street, a situation that obviously happened frequently, Kyoko couldn't help but wonder what would happen if these monsters encountered ordinary people.

"Don't worry about that. Most magical beasts won't have any effect on ordinary humans in the first three days after they are formed. After three days, they can have a simple effect on humans. It usually takes about 10 days before they can make humans lose their emotions. Only then should we deal with the magical beasts carefully."

Yuri Naganuma explained to the two of them that while they were talking, they had already arrived near the monster.

Just then, these magical beasts seemed to sense something and suddenly became extremely excited, rushing towards where the three were.

However, just as Yuri Naganuma said, these newly formed magical beasts were pitifully weak, and the three of them easily dealt with this small group of magical beasts.

"This is so easy! Compared to Nightmare, these monsters are really too weak."

After defeating the monster, Kyoko said with some lingering satisfaction.

"It's alright, after all, these magical beasts have only been around for a short time. If they were allowed to exist for a longer period of time, they would become much more difficult to deal with."

Clearly, Yuri Naganuma is already extremely skilled at dealing with monsters.

"I remember when I first became a magical girl, the magical beasts in this city were all quite powerful. They ran rampant in the city, absorbing other people's emotions at will, causing people to gradually lose their own emotions. This was simply unforgivable! It took me a lot of effort to get rid of them."

Judging from Yuri Naganuma's angry expression, it seems she really hates monsters.

"This is only a small part of the monsters. Every day, a large number of monsters are born in this city. There is still a lot of work to be done. Since you are also magical girls, come with me."

As she spoke, Yuri Naganuma picked up a few small black cubes from the ground.

"Here you go, there's not much of this, so use it sparingly."

He caught the crystal that Yuri Naganuma threw to him. It looked quite similar to the crystals that Nightmare dropped, but it was much smaller, only about the size of his little fingertip.

Abigail and Kyoko exchanged glances. In any case, as magical girls, protecting humanity was their duty, so they followed.

Unlike the Nightmare, which is a single entity, the number of monsters is quite enormous. Although each individual is rather weak, their sheer number means that you can easily get hurt if you're not careful.

"Seriously, can you handle so many magical beasts all by yourself?"

After dealing with wave after wave of monsters, Kyoko asked Yuri Naganuma with some confusion.

At this point, all three of them were a little tired. After all, even if the monsters weren't strong, there were just too many of them, wave after wave. Anyone would get tired in this situation.

"It's strange. I don't know why there are several times more monsters than usual today, and they are still appearing in droves. This is very abnormal."

After defeating a monster, Yuri Naganuma spoke loudly to the two of them.

Normally, there might be a dozen or so monsters, which is considered a lot, but today the number of monsters is several times greater than before. Yuri Naganuma has never seen anything like this before.

As Abigail watched wave after wave of monsters appear, she noticed a detail.

These monsters seem to be constantly attacking me. Am I their target, or is their target...?

Abigail then looked at the trembling little ghost tucked into her waistband.

If their target was himself, it's impossible that this situation only occurred today. In other words, their target is very likely the little ghost on his waist.

"It seems you, little one, do have something special about you."

Although we have a clue, it does not solve the current predicament. Monsters continue to appear in an endless stream, as if they are inexhaustible. Although no higher-level monsters have appeared, even the lowest-level monsters, when their numbers reach a certain level, can cause a qualitative change.

"Let's retreat. There are just too many of them. If we keep going, we might not even have a chance to retreat."

Seeing that these magical beasts were still appearing in droves, Kyoko was already considering leaving.

Yuri Naganuma nodded to herself. She wasn't a rigid person; when it was time to retreat, she would definitely retreat without hesitation.

As for Abigail, needless to say, running away was nothing to her ashamed of. Of course, Abigail called it a strategic retreat.

Without hesitation, the three of them turned and ran away. It must be said that although there were many magical beasts, they had no way to stop the magical girls from escaping. Moreover, after Abigail and the other two ran away, the magical beasts lost their target and disappeared.

After escaping the monsters' encirclement, the three of them caught their breath and then looked at each other.

"I didn't expect so many monsters to appear today. If you guys hadn't been here, I probably wouldn't have been able to do anything at all."

Yuri Naganuma spoke first.

"Speaking of which, how did you handle similar situations in the past?"

Kyoko asked Yuri Naganuma with some curiosity.

"Actually, this is the first time I've encountered a situation like this. It's never happened before, and I don't know what happened."

"I know why."

At this moment, Abigail spoke up:

"Actually, Warcraft's target should be this guy."

Argyle took out the little ghost that her sister had locked up at her waist. Yuri Naganuma and Kyoko looked at the little guy with some confusion.

"What is it about this little guy that attracts magical beasts?"

Anzu asked curiously.

"I don't know either, but judging from the monsters' behavior just now, their target is clearly this little guy. This little guy might be very important, and we must ensure its safety."

"I'd like to ask first, what exactly is this?"

Upon first seeing the little ghost, Yuri Naganuma became curious about its true form.

"Actually, we don't know what this thing is either. In fact, we caught this little guy in your shrine, and it possessed the bells you use for prayers."

Abigail then gave Yuri Naganuma a brief explanation of what had happened.

"I never expected such a thing to happen. Could it be that the particularly miraculous events that sometimes occurred at the shrine were all because of this little one? Could she be the deity we worship?"

However, as soon as Yuri Naganuma voiced this idea, she denied it herself. If she were truly a god, why would she be trapped inside the barrier by Abigail, trembling with fear?

"So what are you planning to do next? If it really was caused by this little guy, then these magical beasts will continue to appear in large numbers like this."

"If you can, hand that guy over to me."

Just then, Cupid emerged from the shadows.

"Chubi, do you know what's going on?"

"I don't know either. This is the first time I've ever seen this spirit. Actually, the number of magical beasts in this city is much less than in other cities. I originally thought it was because of the city itself, but now it seems that it might be because of the existence of this spirit."

Cupid continued talking to herself, and she seemed quite interested in studying the little ghost.

"If we can figure out the form of this spirit, it might help us develop a way to reduce the number of monsters."

However, Abigail always felt that Cupid's purpose was not so simple. Although Cupid said that he would not lie, Abigail knew that not lying did not mean that he would not hide anything. Abigail did not know whether Cupid was hiding something, but she trusted her intuition.

"I'm sorry, Cupid, I can't give you this little guy. It's my trophy, and I get to decide what to do with it."

"Don't you want to find a way to control the number of monsters? That would benefit society!"

It seems that Cupid has not given up and still wants to morally suppress Abigail.

"I'm sorry, I don't want to."

Chapter 256 The Girls' Decision

"Your human thinking is truly incomprehensible. You can achieve unexpected results by sacrificing a tiny, insignificant benefit, yet you give it up because of a little selfishness. It's incomprehensible."

"If you can't understand it, then don't try to understand it. Just do what you're supposed to do and stop thinking about nonsense all day. You can leave now; we don't need you anymore."

Upon hearing Abigail's words of expulsion, Cupid didn't say anything more, turned around and left.

"It seems that this little guy's importance has increased even further, but the problem now is that we don't know how to use him."

Abigail brought the little ghost close to her face and looked closely at the round creature.

"I wish you could talk, you little guy. You're quite intelligent."

"Gentlemen, it's getting late, I have to head back now. If you need anything, come find me at the shrine."

"Ah."

Then, Yuri Naganuma turned and left.

"Let's go back then. I wonder if Sayaka and the others will become suspicious after being out for so long."

"I hope they don't suspect our purpose in coming out. I wonder how Xiaoyan helped us."

However, according to Murphy's Law, if something can go wrong, it will, no matter how small the possibility. So, unsurprisingly, when Abigail and Kyoko returned to the inn, they were met with interrogation from Madoka and the others.

"Abby, shouldn't you give me a proper explanation!"

In the hotel room, Xiaoyuan and the others looked at Abigail and Kyoko walking in from outside and said.

"Regarding this issue, we actually went to save the world."

"Save the world? What do you mean?"

Afterwards, Abigail briefly explained to Xiaoyuan and the others what the two of them had done.

"So, you went out this time to help that girl named Naganuma Yuri defeat the enemy called monsters?"

That's right.

Abigail sat upright, speaking while raising her head to observe Xiaoyuan's expression.

Of course, Kyoko was in a similar situation, except that the person interrogating her was no longer Madoka but Sayaka.

Seeing that Abigail's attitude in admitting her guilt was good, and that she hadn't gone out to cause trouble as she had imagined, Xiaoyuan sighed and said:
