No matter how slow she was, Lin Xiaolu should have reacted by now, at least she should have recognized one fact - that is, the person in front of her who called herself "Bad Magic Girl" was very strong, and might even be a powerful enemy that she could not defeat at all in her current state.

"If you have no objections, I will announce the rules."

Seeing that Lin Yun and Lin Xiaolu had nothing to say, Yuan continued, "The scheduled location is the top of Yinping Mountain. The time is up to you. As long as it's tonight, you can come at any time. However, I can only wait until midnight."

"I have set up a ritual on the top of Yinping Mountain. From now on, as long as no one tries to stop it, it will cause a huge explosion at twelve o'clock in the evening, directly destroying the entire mountain and everything around it."

Yuan stretched out his hands and made an "explosion" gesture: "If you want to stop it, your only way is to defeat me and shut it down myself."

"Blow up the whole mountain?"

Lin Yun was a little confused, because in his memory, Yinping Mountain was also extremely remote in the suburbs of Fangting City, and it could be said to be one of the farthest places from the urban area. If only Yinping Mountain was blown up, then apart from the possibility of causing some geological disasters, it would not cause any serious casualties.

But soon, he realized what Yuan was trying to do.

As one of the most remote places in the suburbs, Yinping Mountain is sparsely populated, but it also has another characteristic, which is that it is the outermost area of ​​the entire Fangting City.

And at the outermost part of Fangting City, there is something that must not be damaged - the city's defense network.

The protective net separates human cities from the vast wasteland, ensuring that the dangers and beasts in the wasteland will not harm the city. However, once there are holes in the protective net, a large number of high-level beasts, mutated creatures in the wasteland, and even more terrifying things will enter the city. At that time, the safety of Fangting City will be severely tested.

"It looks like you've figured it out."

Yuan noticed the change in Lin Yun's expression and continued with a smile: "This is my declaration of war. If you don't want the entire Fangting City to fall into crisis, then notify Cornflower."

"…Why do you do this?"

Lin Yun raised this question again.

He couldn't understand Yuan's motive for doing this at this point.

The other party has been in Fangting City for two months. During this period, he even had the opportunity to capture himself and the Source of Beasts in one fell swoop, but he gave up all of them on the grounds of "fairness".

If she wanted to do something to threaten the entire city and use it as a bargaining chip in negotiations with the magical girl, she should have done it before the foreign aid from Baian City arrived. There was no need to delay it until now.

Before, he didn't understand why Yuan, as a "bad guy", was so unconcerned about "doing bad things". Now, he doesn't understand: why would such a person, after giving up countless good opportunities, choose an obviously bad time to do such a thing.

"Bad guys never need a reason to do bad things. You can understand it as New Year's Day, I miss home, so I'm ready to finish the task at hand quickly."

Yuan answered nonchalantly, then walked to the window of the director's office and suddenly opened it: "Well, now that I've had my fill of wine and brought the letter of challenge, I'll go back and wait for your arrival..."

She placed one hand on the windowsill and waved behind her, as if she was about to leave, but her next move was stopped by a beam of magic power that shot out.

The magic beam passed by her face, almost hitting her with just a few millimeters left.

Lin Xiaolu chose to take action here.

"Do you want to run away?"

She pointed her wand at Yuan, her eyes determined: "If you plan to do something so dangerous, then I will never let you leave!"

"…Are you planning to stop me?"

Yuan didn't seem to be angry at Lin Xiaolu's attack at all. He just looked at the place where Lin Xiaolu had just attacked, and then shook his head gently: "Although your fighting spirit is very touching, I'm sorry, I have no interest in bullying children."

"What did you say?" Lin Xiaolu's eyes suddenly widened.

"I mean, I don't want to get into a fight with a kid."

Yuan spread his hands and said helplessly: "Simply bullying the weak is meaningless, and it is not in line with my morality."

"Does blowing up a mountain conform to your moral principles?" Lin Xiaolu asked loudly.

"Yes, I am a bad guy after all, so I have to do what a bad guy does."

Yuan's expression did not change. Instead, he raised his hand and waved politely to the other two people in the director's office: "Then I will leave first."

After saying this, she once again leaned out of the window, with magic power surging around her body, as if she was about to fly away.

"I told you, I won't let you go!"

Almost at the same time, Lin Xiaolu attacked boldly, and this time, she used all her strength. The result of her efforts in recent times - the blazing white magic power enveloped her wand in an instant.

The magic power that exploded behind her pushed Lin Xiaolu forward. She raised her magic wand, with white flames flying around her, and attacked Yuan at an extremely fast speed.

From the first encounter with Black Dawn to the present day, and even after encountering the moth, the power of white magic has always been invincible. Even if the opponent's ability level is far higher than his own, this kind of magic attack can still work.

This time, Lin Xiaolu did not doubt it.

--puff.

However, just after flying out, she could no longer remember what happened.

She couldn't even see clearly what the other person did. After a slight muffled sound, she lost consciousness.

The last thing that remained in his mind was the sonic boom of Yuan breaking through the air and his father's worried call.

Chapter 221 Blocking

Lin Xiaolu covered her head and climbed up from the sofa. The chaotic memories in her mind made it almost impossible for her to tell where she was.

When she saw her surroundings and Lin Yun sitting behind the desk talking on the phone, she recalled what she had just experienced - she wanted to stop the woman who claimed to be "Claw Mark", and then she was suddenly knocked unconscious.

——"Yes, the location is Yinping Mountain, it should be close to the top of the mountain. The other party should not be hiding, so we will find their location soon... You guys hurry over as soon as possible, I will arrange other things."

Almost at the same time, Lin Yun ended the call on his mobile phone.

Lin Yun put away his phone and stood up from his seat. He felt that the matter was extremely troublesome. He sighed subconsciously, raised his head, and happened to meet Lin Xiaolu's eyes.

"woke up?"

Seeing that his daughter was indeed fine, he finally relaxed a little and walked straight to Lin Xiaolu's side: "How do you feel? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere else?"

"……should be no problem."

Releasing her hands from covering her head, Lin Xiaolu shook her head and struggled to get up: "Where is that woman?"

"gone."

Lin Yun pointed to the window and said, "About ten minutes ago, she knocked you out and flew away."

"ten minutes……"

After hearing the exact time when she was unconscious, Lin Xiaolu's body froze, and then she slumped back down: "Well, it looks like I can't catch up."

"Don't even think about chasing him. You're obviously no match for that guy."

Rubbing Lin Xiaolu's head, Lin Yun said helplessly: "What you should do now is to rest well. As for stopping that person, I have already notified the other members of your team. Cuique and Hongsi will lead the team to solve it."

"Delphinium has gone?"

Hearing Lin Yun's words, Lin Xiaolu, who had just laid down, suddenly jumped up and sat up again: "Where is it? Yinping Mountain? Then I want to go too!"

"I told you, you can't go."

Lin Yun took his hand off Lin Xiaolu's head and said, "The enemy this time is not just dangerous. According to the information I have, the enemy is even more dangerous than the giant beast from the Full Moon Festival. This is not a battle you can handle right now."

"But Delphinium went, right? Everybody's going to fight!"

Lin Xiaolu still held on to the key information: "If I go, even if I can only help a little, I will definitely go!"

Lin Yun was speechless. He really wanted to tell Lin Xiaolu, "If you go there now, you might end up making things worse," but he felt that it would be too harsh to say so.

"Be obedient, Lulu."

After thinking about it, he felt that he could only choose to play the emotional card, so he squatted down and looked directly into Lin Xiaolu's eyes: "Dad will arrange everything, so don't do anything to make Dad worry, okay?"

Lin Xiaolu quieted down.

"But I am the magical girl of Fangting City. At a time like this, I cannot be afraid of fighting alone."

After a while, she spoke again with a conflicted look on her face: "If I choose to retreat just because the enemy is dangerous, then I am not a competent magical girl at all..."

"When you grow up, you will have more opportunities to face stronger enemies. When that time comes, I will never stop you again."

Lin Yun said seriously: "But this time, even if it's only this time, you really don't need to deal with such an enemy."

Lin Xiaolu raised her head. She could see the seriousness in Lin Yun’s eyes, as well as the worry underneath that seriousness.

She opened her mouth again, but the words of rejection she wanted to say came out rather sluggishly.

"……All right."

She didn't know when, at a moment when she didn't even notice it, the words she said had turned into these two words.

Then, she saw her father's expression become much more relaxed.

"Okay, let's put it this way. Dad, I have to go and arrange other emergency matters, so I may not be able to accompany you in the office next time. You can rest for a while and then go back to the base by yourself."

He reached out again, but this time he straightened Lin Xiaolu's hair. Lin Yun slowed down his voice and said, "I'm sorry. We had agreed to spend the New Year together, but it ended up like this. If there's anything else, we can talk about it later."

"fine."

Lin Xiaolu shook her head, looking a little uncomfortable: "There's nothing we can do if the enemy comes, just go and do your thing first."

She didn't know why, but she suddenly remembered that when she was in elementary school, her father often had to work overtime or socialize outside, but he had never apologized to her like this.

And now, she didn't know when it started, but she felt that her father had changed a lot.

It's not just changes in identity and behavior, but also some changes in personality.

If the former change made her feel a little strange, then the latter change brought her a subtle sense of familiarity.

It was this familiar and even comfortable feeling that made her subconsciously choose to agree with the other party's words.

Looking at the father in front of him, he pulled the corner of his mouth, and an expression that was probably a smile appeared on his usually serious face. Then he put on his suit jacket and walked out of the office. Lin Xiaolu sat obediently on the sofa and watched him leave until the office door was closed with a "click".

She sat silently for a while, then looked toward the window not far away.

Just now, the woman who claimed to be Claw Mark left through that window.

With her thoughts in turmoil, Lin Xiaolu first stared at the window expressionlessly, then revealed a somewhat conflicted look which lasted for a long while, and finally she let out a breath as if she had made up her mind.

She stood up.

……

……

The moon was dark and the wind was strong. As the night deepened, strange noises kept coming from the depths of the wooded Yinping Mountain.

As a mountain far away from Fangting City and with a relatively low level of tourism development, there are not many tourists on Yinping Mountain all year round. In addition, on New Year's Eve, most citizens choose to spend the night with their families, so there is no one in the mountain at this time.

In such an environment, a tall tower made of rubble and soil was erected at some point in time.
