Just a magical girl who picks up trash

71. Hazy Will

'Weapons descend!'

“Swish, brush, brush~~~”

The sharp claws fiercely tore through the vines that blocked the way. Yu Huan rushed upstairs with an indomitable attitude, while always being on guard against the dark red tentacles around him that might attack at any time.

"Damn it, how did we get discovered?!"

While running, a somewhat annoyed voice suddenly sounded from under Yu Huan's mask... That happened when he just arrived at the building. The stealth card that should have prevented him from being discovered even if he touched the meat egg was ineffective the moment Yu Huan just stepped into the building... No, it should be said that he came right under the meat egg, thus revealing Yu Huan's figure.

And in the next second after this sudden exposure, countless tentacles rushed towards Yu Huan as if they were on drugs, and Yu Huan was naturally tied up due to being caught off guard. However, what was surprising was that this time the tentacles did not directly kill her. Although they continued to attack as if they wanted to remove the armor on her body, the strength of the attack was obviously weaker than the last time, or it was deliberately suppressed a lot.

Of course, this is obviously not a reason for Yu Huan to allow the other party to attack him. After all, no one knows what will happen to him once the transformation is really cancelled... after all, it's tentacles and so on.

So without saying a word, she took advantage of the fact that the tentacles were not tied tightly and immediately pulled out her weapon card (amazeds claws) to fight back. Then, after breaking free, she ran towards the building with caution.

Unlike the tentacle world outside, Yu Huan saw a completely different scene after entering the building: in the neatly arranged buildings, except for the fact that there was no one and it was pitch black, there seemed to be no change from the mirror world. There were almost no tentacles to be seen here, and walking in it gave people an incomparable feeling of depression and palpitations.

Then, the palpitating feeling followed by the sudden attack of the tentacles actually made Yu Huan breathe a sigh of relief. After all, any movement was much more reassuring than no reaction at all. The unknown was the most terrifying!

"Shhhh~~~"

The tentacles' attacks were relentless. The previously intact interior of the building was soon riddled with holes as Yu Huan continued to charge and the tentacles rampaged. Neither Yu Huan nor the tentacles seemed to care much about this, so they simply charged forward, one constantly obstructing the other. This allowed Yu Huan to quickly discover something very wrong, which was...

"strangeness!"

"What's wrong? Xiao Huan!"

"Ah~ No, it feels like these tentacles aren't attacking me, but rather... obstructing me!"

"Hmm, what's wrong?"

Yu Huan's words made Qi Xiao confused:

"Isn't their original purpose to stop invaders? So isn't it natural for them to stop you?"

"Uh...that's not what I meant. What I meant was..."

"Shua~~"

Three more tentacles that rushed out from behind were instantly cut off. Looking at the dark red tentacles on the ground, which fluttered twice and then became motionless like snakes, and the substance inside them that had turned from blood into emerald green liquid, Yu Huan immediately said thoughtfully:

"It's not that they're trying to destroy all invaders, but I just feel like these tentacles... don't seem to have any hostility towards me!"

"Ugh?"

"Ah~ That is to say... the tentacles are indeed trying to hinder me, but it seems that they are just obstructing me. Whether it is the attack just now or now, it seems that they have no intention of hurting me. It's as if they are just trying to catch me and prevent me from going up... I always feel that something is weird!"

This wasn't an illusion, but a real change. Of course, this wasn't the strangest thing. The strangest thing was actually...

"The lines around... changed?"

After entering the mirror world for the first time, the lines that Yu Huan saw were filled with black, red, gray, ink and other lines full of negative energy. It was like a combination of all the malice. Just one look at it made Yu Huan feel like he was blind.

However, unlike that time, when Yu Huan looked at those lines again, the lines he saw this time had undergone earth-shaking changes: black, ink, red, gray and other negative lines still existed, but compared with before, they were undoubtedly reduced a lot, and instead, other lines began to extend out from them little by little.

A pure white line with a hazy feel, a fiery red line with a passionate fervor, and a pale golden line that clearly didn't look like a bad line... Yu Huan even caught a glimpse of a faint pink line representing love among them. He didn't know if it was an illusion, after all, what he saw before him were tentacles, love and all...

"I'm not really traveling to Saya no Uta, am I?"

Complaining can ease tension, so after this sudden complaint, Yu Huan immediately calmed down a lot and looked again at the passage in front of him that was blocked by layers of tentacles. He immediately walked forward and said with a smile:

"If that's true, then if I follow this routine and reach the top floor, what I'll see is not some disgusting tentacle, but a cute little girl instead?"

Of course, this idea is obviously just delusion. After all...

"Even if you're a little loli, you were trained by the Mirror Organization. You're not my friend!"

"Shua~~"

His claws flashed with cold light like wolf claws. After easily tearing through the obstacles in front of him, Yu Huan continued to move forward without any pause.

"Om~~~"

It was in the emerald green flesh egg wrapped by countless dark red tentacles, countless floors above Yu Huan's head. At that moment, the beating heart seemed to sense something and suddenly trembled slightly. After a moment of silence, a vague voice rang out from it:

"Lolita...Mirror...Organization...training...not...a friend?"

The last four words seemed to stimulate it, and the original trembling became more intense. After a long time, the vibration finally slowly subsided. However... this was obviously not the end, but the beginning of everything developing in an uncontrollable direction... It was just the beginning!

"The Mirror Organization...is not a friend...kill...the Mirror Organization...is...a friend!"

At this point, the originally vague thinking has been confirmed, and the goal... is clear!

72. Laboratory under attack

"Your Excellency, we have completely blocked all channels to the Mirror World as planned. Skynet has also issued a jamming program. Starting ten minutes ago, they will no longer be able to detect any information about the Mirror World!"

In the crowded laboratory, staff members coming and going are constantly operating machines that look extremely complicated. In the transparent office at the top, a figure wearing white clothes and a pure white mask on his face is half-kneeling on the ground, reporting the current situation to the figure in the light screen in front of him.

"...Um, who entered the mirror world?"

"One of the Twelve Towers: Weiyang Tower, Maotu Tower. There is also a girl who seems to be a self-proclaimed ranger named Yuhuan, who comes from a scavenger village!"

"Oh? The Ranger... huh? And the delusional fantasy of one of the Twelve Towers... this is a big fish!"

A half-smiley voice seemed to come from the light curtain, and then the bishop's voice rang out again:

"The Sheep isn't here, and the Rabbit, one of the remaining Twelve Towers, is a pure scientific researcher. The only one left is the Rooster... So, let's act according to the plan!"

"Yes!"

"It's time to let this continent know who... is the true... master... of this broken continent!"

The light curtain was immediately disconnected, and only then did the man in the white lab uniform slowly stand up from the ground. Then, without any hesitation, he issued a series of orders:

"What is the state of the Desire Devourer's desire?"

"We have reached the current peak and can be deployed at any time!"

"Very good, then what about the sale of Gaia memories?"

"A lot of people have purchased it, and over 90% of them are already using it!"

"What about the Eye Demon?"

"The great power that gave birth to the eighteen ancient artifacts has now fully taken shape!"

"Nebula gas..."

"Three of the secretly captured test subjects died from being unable to endure the effects. The remaining sixty-eight have already been transformed!"

"The bugs have successfully lurked, but because they were discovered by Tianta City in advance, 37% of them have been lost. The remaining 63% are ready to be deployed at any time!"

"Artificial life forms 025 to 050 have completed their 'learning' and are currently in the evolutionary stage. No. 002 (heart) has been successfully activated and is currently in the super-evolutionary state!"

A series of information was directly summarized to the man in the white mask. After reading it clearly one by one, he nodded in satisfaction:

"Very good. Give the order... Let Crying Face and Laughing Face lead the team. In ten minutes... the operation will begin. We..."

"Ah~~~"

Just as this order was given, a scream suddenly sounded from somewhere in the laboratory, instantly attracting his attention.

"what happened?"

He turned his head with a questioning tone, but the next second he saw... tentacles?

"Shuashuashua~~"

There was no chance for the experimenters present to react at all. Almost instantly, tentacles suddenly rushed out from a piece of reflective glass in the laboratory and directly penetrated countless experimenters around them. Before they could even scream, an erratic sound rang out from them the next second:

"Eliminate...the Mirror Organization...for...my friends!"

"Shhhh~~~"

"Damn it, this is... Experiment Zero?! How could it be..."

The sudden change caught everyone off guard, but the white-faced man was clearly no pushover. The moment he saw the tentacles suddenly burst out from the mirror, he recognized the other party's identity. He immediately leaped back and with a wave of his hand, the card box engraved with the white tiger pattern appeared directly in his hand.

"Transform!"

He inserted the card box directly into his waist through the office mirror beside him, and with the overlapping of light and shadow, the white tiger-patterned armor directly wrapped it.

"Why did Subject Zero suddenly move? Shouldn't it be in its dormant incubation period?"

He dodged the incoming tentacles by leaning sideways, and at the same time, a weapon descending card was inserted into the battle axe in his hand. As a pair of tiger claws appeared, doubts flashed through Baimian's mind.

"Damn it! Is there something wrong with the mirror world? Was it Weiyang who did it? We must notify the Archbishop immediately!"

Thinking of this, he immediately tried to call the communicator that had just hung up, but...

"Shhhh~~~"

"Um?!"

The sudden tentacle attack made Baimian turn around and counterattack without a second thought. With his tiger claws, he cut off countless tentacles directly. He immediately leaped and landed steadily on the ground. Looking at the tentacles on the ground, a look of disdain appeared on his face:

"Although the Archbishop did say you possess great potential, you're still an unhatched creature, and you still lack some offensive means... Well, I'll just inform the Archbishop of the information and then discard you. We already have the necessary data anyway, and the Mirror Organization doesn't need any other tools!"

As he said this, he stomped the broken tentacle in front of him into minced meat. Looking at the tentacles that were still crowding out from the glass, Baimian once again pulled out the card engraved with a tiger head pattern from his waist.

"Then... the finale!"

"Finally coming!"

A huge white tiger fell from the sky, and in the next second, it grabbed the thing with dozens of tentacles in its hands, and then pressed it to the ground and dragged it to the stronger one on the white surface.

"Shua~~"

The tiger claws charged forward, and with a flash of white light from the three sharp claws, the countless tentacles in front of him were transformed into countless pieces of meat and scattered in all directions in the next second.

"..."

He just looked at the tentacles with blood flowing in front of him with an expressionless face, and then his gaze turned to the huge meat eggs in the mirror world in front of him. After shaking off the blood on his tiger claws, Baimian not only had no intention of retreating, but instead took a step forward and walked towards the mirror world.

"Experimental subject Zero has gone out of control or has been taken over by Weiyang and the others. This means they are still alive and well in the mirror world... This is a huge mistake in the team's work. As expected, we still need to make up for it before the Archbishop's inspection, so... I still need to do it myself!"

Having said this, Baimian, one of the cadres of the Mirror Organization, stepped directly into the Mirror World.

73. Got fucked?

Today is a big day for Tianta City... no, it should be said that it is a big day for the entire continent!

The New Life Festival has always been one of the most grand festivals in the entire continent. Every time it is held, it is undoubtedly a grand event that is watched by the entire continent. After all, in this doomsday-like ruins, the younger generation represents the glory of the next generation and is the irreplaceable heirs of the future. The fierce collision between them is equivalent to the beginning of a new era. At this point, whether it is Tianta City, the Demon Realm or the scavengers, they are all looking forward to it and paying attention.

Then today, in the circular arena on the highest floor of Tianta City, the much-anticipated freshman festival kicked off. Eight teams that emerged from various forces and colleges are about to compete in the finals here. The format of the finals is no longer as fancy as before, but very simple... draw lots, and then directly fight!

"Of course that's true, but in reality the competitions are still divided into categories!"

After waiting for Xiao Ya to come back after drawing lots, I heard her say to the girls:

"The competition is divided into four types: five one-on-one matches, one-on-one arena matches, team matches, and four-on-one free matches. Each team will decide on their own, and then the competition committee will make the final decision!"

There are four types of competitions in total. Xiao Ya immediately looked at the team, which only had four people including her, and immediately spread her hands and said:

"As you can see, due to a capricious teammate, we currently only have four members participating. Of course, I've applied for permission to participate multiple times, but the disparity in numbers is still quite troublesome. So, what do you all say?"

She raised her head and looked at everyone, but in fact, Xiao Ya's question was equivalent to asking nonsense, because in fact, everyone, including her, had already made up their minds, so...

"Little Fantasy wants to be the champion, where are you holding it?"

"I can lift it... it works!"

So, this brief meeting ended directly, and then it was put on the drawing board. The lot in Xiao Ya's hand was undoubtedly number one, which meant she would be the first to appear. However, when the referee announced the result of the draw, the competition method that was immediately announced made everyone stunned:

"The first match is between the Rangers and the Steel Spirits. The referee has decided to make it a ring match. Please prepare yourselves, and the first opponent will be ready to take the stage in ten minutes!"

"Wait, what the hell is a ring match? Aren't we having a team match?"

As soon as the referee said this, Feng Qianxue asked, and Xiao Ya also frowned and opened the communication without saying a word:

"what happened?"

There were no drawn-out questions, and on the other end of the line was naturally Maotu, one of Tianta City's guardians. After all, Yuhuan was currently fighting to save Tianta City, and even morally speaking, Tianta City wanted to side with the Rangers. However, they had clearly chosen a team fight, but now it had become the most disadvantageous ring match. This result was clearly due to the opposing team's choice, and the referee's decision...

"I'm already checking!"

Xiao Ya and the others were confused, but it was obvious that Maotu was already angry. After all, he had already warned about this matter a long time ago, and someone actually dared to go beyond his command and tamper with the rules. This was no longer a matter of competition, but someone... actually dared to shake the power of the tower master under his nose. This behavior was obviously a provocation to him.

However, even with this angry mood, the result of the investigation made Maotu slightly stunned. Although he was still angry, he no longer had the intention to continue. Instead, he directly dialed Xiao Ya's number and asked directly:

"Do you need my help with your own household affairs?"
