Just a magical girl who picks up trash

That's right, a magic circle was set up in Wanfa City at some point. The concealment of silver was such that even Wanfa City, which gathered all the outstanding magicians in the Demon Realm, was not aware of it at all. The effect of this magic circle was also very simple. By sacrificing those believers of the Holy Silver Church who had been infected in body, mind and strength, the "will" of silver would descend, forming a silver clone that was powerful enough to devour the entire Demon Realm.

Fortunately, the tower masters had already set up the barrier early on according to Ye Lina and Huan Bing's suggestions. Although the purpose of the barrier was once to block the invasion of Silver, now it has become to lock Silver in Wanfa City and prevent it from escaping!

The terrifying devouring power of silver was clearly seen by the magicians in the Demon Realm in just a few hours. If this thing was really released, there would be no doubt that the entire Demon Realm would be in chaos, and it would even be likely to face destruction in the end.

Silver has no limit and can be said to swallow anything, whether it is a living thing, a plant or even those useless earth and stone buildings, they can all be assimilated by it and become its own power.

In fact, the defensive barrier that initially enveloped Wanfa City was unable to prevent the swallowing of silver. After all, it was also a substance formed by magic power. However, at the critical moment, Shui Meng and Shi Lei stood up without hesitation. Shui Meng directly cooperated with Jiuyue to eliminate the silver liquid and save the people in Wanfa City who were fleeing.

Shi Lei directly used the magic power of the Night Sky Book to infuse it into the barrier, and used the power of the magical girl to change the nature of the barrier, so that the barrier was able to successfully seal Bai Yin inside.

"And then, Xiaolei...did she faint due to running out of magic power?"

At this moment, almost all the people in Wanfa City gathered in the central arena. Just as Yu Huan had guessed, the silver owner had the ability to block communications and even space. Now even the space mage of Wanfa City could not send people out. Outside was a surging silver wave, and they were now equivalent to being trapped here.

Squatting in front of the bed in the lounge, Yu Huan frowned as he looked at Shi Lei lying on the bed with a pale face and eyes closed. He injected the magic power in his body into Shi Lei's body through his hands bit by bit, while exploring her body at the same time.

"The magic power consumption is indeed very high, but..."

After investigation (actually, a secret system check), it was found that Shi Lei had indeed consumed a lot of magic power. However, the power of a magical girl is extremely resilient, and Shi Lei's Night Sky Book also has the ability to replenish itself by absorbing the magic power of outsiders. Logically, it should be replenished with the magic power injected by Yu Huan, but now...

"It's being consumed so quickly?"

As soon as the magic power entered Shi Lei's body, it was directly absorbed. However, the amount absorbed had already exceeded the scope of Shi Lei's own magic power. Such a strange situation immediately made Yu Huan frown. After thinking about it, he suddenly turned around and said to Jiu Yue and others behind him:

"Aunt Jiuyue, can Xiaolei and I be alone for a while? I'll try to see if I can help her with her treatment!"

Jiu Yue was slightly stunned by these words, but soon nodded slightly:

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you!"

Although he didn't know why the healer wanted them to leave, Yu Huan probably had his own way. Jiu Yue nodded and waved to the priests behind him, and everyone turned around and left the room.

"..."

Shui Meng also glanced at Yu Huan, and after seeing him nod slightly to indicate that everything was fine, she also walked outside with peace of mind.

……

After quietly waiting for everyone to leave, Yu Huan silently looked at Shi Lei, who was sleeping peacefully on the bed like a sleeping beauty. After a while, he rubbed his face fiercely and said to himself:

"Okay, no matter why Xiaolei's magic power is depleting so quickly, but since sending magic power doesn't work... then I can only use my ultimate move!"

In the two-dimensional world, there are many ways to replenish magic power, but as far as Yuhuan knows, or as far as the magical girls know, there is undoubtedly only one method that is the most convenient and fastest, and that is... replenishing magic power!

"We're all family anyway, so there's no need to ask for their opinions!"

Besides, Xiao Lei wouldn't refuse even if she was awake... With this thought in mind, Yu Huan immediately leaned over and kissed Shi Lei on the lips. When their lips touched, perhaps because she felt Yu Huan's familiar breath, Shi Lei cooperated and slightly opened her mouth, and then...

"Woo~~~"

It was unknown who came out of the ambiguous voice between the two. Because of the need for liquid exchange, Yu Huan launched the attack without hesitation. Then, as the magic power was injected into Shi Lei's body in some form, time passed by minute by minute.

"Huh~~Finally done!?"

Satisfied... no, he finally felt relieved and raised his head. As a result, when he opened his eyes, he saw an enlarged, expressionless silver-white face appear in front of him. Yu Huan was immediately startled and his face flushed slightly.

"You, you, you... who told you to peek over there?!"

The process of replenishing magic can be called an 18X scene. Even if Yu Huan is willing to let go of this kind of scene, he has to abandon everyone before he dares to do it. The reason is that he is too shy. As a result, when he looked up, he saw Sheng Yin peeking at him.

"Defense: I didn't steal, I was just watching!"

"..."

Well, because the other party turned into a bracelet and then quietly wore it on his wrist, Yu Huan subconsciously forgot the other party's existence. This was indeed not the other party's fault.

"So... why did you come out?"

He tried to change the subject, but it was obvious that Sheng Yin had no intention of letting go of what he had just witnessed. Instead, he pointed at Shi Lei who was sleeping soundly on the bed and asked:

"Question: What did you just do to my daughter?"

"..."

"..."

"...Wait, the wind was so strong I couldn't hear clearly. Who do you think this is?"

"Repeat the answer: Daughter!"

"..."

167. Memory

Shi Lei had a dream, a very... strange dream!

The dream was of a silvery-white space... no, it should be said that it was in the ocean. She... or rather, 'it' was also a member of this liquid, originally just wandering in it without any will of its own, just simply 'it'.

It was undoubtedly wandering, and it didn't know how much time had passed. It seemed like a moment, and yet it seemed like thousands of years... Anyway, it had no perception, no five senses, and the flow of time seemed meaningless to it.

And this situation continued... I don't know how long, and I don't know when it started to change...

The violent collision tore apart this silver-white world. The impact filled with various chaotic colors broke into this world brutally and began to destroy this silver ocean unscrupulously.

Then... it saw the collapse of this world, and saw that the silver ocean finally turned into dozens of auras and scattered into a seemingly desolate land, and then gradually disappeared.

It was also one of them, flying like a meteor and landing at the edge of a lake, on the body of a... human baby girl?

“Ah ...

It heard the meaningless cry of the baby girl. It did not understand the meaning, nor did it want to understand, because at this moment, there was only one thought left in its few thoughts: What should it do next?

Who am I, what kind of existence is I, how was I born, why do I exist, where am I going... Everything is filled with confusion, just like a robot that has lost contact with the main control tower. The silvery-white liquid lying limply on the baby girl's body is a little confused about what the future should be like, because no one has told me anything about this.

“Ah ...

Then the baby girl gave an answer to its confusion!

Perhaps it was the nature of a child or because she was hungry, the baby girl stretched out her sinful little claws and grabbed it in her hand. Then, adhering to the baby principle that everything in the hand is edible, she subconsciously stuffed it into her mouth.

"Uh……"

The sudden feeling of suction coming from its body made it subconsciously want to devour the energy-filled aura around it. However, at this moment, a voice similar to a residual order flashed through its mind: Rule 37: Do not devour life forms with will!

"..."

The instinctive desire to devour and assimilate was abruptly terminated, and the result was that when it came to its senses, it had... turned into her?

That's right, it merged with the baby girl...not by devouring and assimilating each other, but by merging together naturally like water and water.

Why is this happening? It doesn't know... and no one can explain it to it, but the only thing it (she) feels is this feeling... It seems pretty good?

The baby girl floated down from upstream along the stream, and then got stuck in the crevice of the rocks beside the stream. The small wooden basin set off the baby girl's delicate body. Perhaps because the basin was high enough, no water splashed in.

Of course, as a baby, it is basic common sense that she would feel hungry, tired and uncomfortable. Although the silver was 'eaten', it obviously could not fill her stomach. Therefore, the next second after it merged with the baby girl, because she was hungry, the baby girl immediately... cried!

The loud and clear cry attracted the attention of a village woman who was washing clothes nearby. Naturally, the baby was taken back to life by the kind-hearted woman. After discussion with the village chief and others, she finally became a member of the small border village and grew up happily as an ordinary girl.

Everything that happened afterwards was exactly the same as the scenes in Shi Lei's memory. They were indeed her memories. However, the fragments of her childhood as a baby were the first time she had seen them. This made Shi Lei's eyes widen in surprise... However, this strange yet familiar memory of the same year was not the end, but only the beginning...

The second memory that she didn't know much about came from a dream when she was ten years old. That year, a wandering magician from the Mage Tower came to the village. It was said that he passed by their village on his way to excavate the ruins and stayed here for two days.

That was the first time Shi Lei saw magic, and also the first time she came into contact with the magical existence called magic. Then Shi Lei was surprised to find that along with the elemental aura summoned by the great magician when he released his magic power, she could also clearly see the colors of the various elements suspended in the air around her.

"Hu~~"

With a casual move of her hand, she gently pinched a tiny black light dot like a particle with her fingertips, and then watched it merge into her body. This was a very surprising thing for Shi Lei. She immediately started a 'capture' game towards the various light dots around her.

Whenever she touched some light spots, they would drill into her body like naughty children and disappear without a trace. This interesting thing made Shi Lei very happy for a while, but for the magician who accidentally noticed this, it was a completely different matter!

"Great Sage, did you...did you just absorb...the magical element?"

"Ugh?"

The sudden sound that rang in her ears made Shi Lei stop the game and turned around in confusion. When she saw that the person behind her was the distinguished magician, she was slightly startled and saluted quickly. Then, with an expression of awe, her big pink eyes were full of confusion.

At the age of ten, she naturally didn't know what magic elements were, nor did she know when she had "absorbed" magic elements. After seeming to notice Shi Lei's ignorance, the magician thought about it for a moment and then reacted.

"Little friend, you have the talent to become a magician. Do you want to... learn magic?"

The answer to this question is basically known to even children over the age of five in the Demon Realm. Becoming a magician is something that everyone aspires to, even in this remote village. Shi Lei is no exception. After a moment of hesitation, she nodded vigorously without even thinking.

"Well, I want to be a great magician!"

The matter-of-fact answer brought a smile to the wizard's face, and he reached out and touched Shi Lei's short pink hair.

168. Awakening and Seal

"Child, I have a mission this time, so I'm afraid I can't bring you into the Mage Tower myself. For now, you can continue to live here peacefully. I'll take you with me when I return from exploring the ruins!"

That was the instruction the Master gave her before he left:

"The ruins are dangerous. In fact, I'm not sure if I can come back. If...if I can't come back, it doesn't matter. I have used magic letterhead to apply for a place for you at the Elementary Magic Academy. When you grow up...just follow the instructions and go there to become a great magician!"

And so, the magician left and...never came back!

This happened three days after that incident. Shi Lei was undoubtedly excited about becoming a magician. Not only her, but the entire village was in a strong and enthusiastic atmosphere. For their border village, the emergence of a magician was undoubtedly a great thing that would bring honor to the family. So Shi Lei almost immediately became the darling of the village.

Of course, these are naturally nothing to Shi Lei. She still lives her carefree little life, but at the same time, some small changes have taken place in her daily life: she has a fun "game"!

Every day when she has some free time, she will capture the "magic elements" floating around and bring them into her body. Watching them merge into her body, Shi Lei always smiles happily.

She was too young to know what this meant, and the villagers who couldn't see the magic elements couldn't give her any advice, so Shi Lei continued to absorb the magic elements in this ignorant way, and finally... a certain existence that should have existed in her body and had long been integrated and dormant... woke up!

"Hmm...what's wrong with me? Wait...who...am I...where...is this place?"

He opened his eyes in confusion, and his originally bright pink eyes had turned into a holy silver color. He (she) looked around at the simple environment in confusion, and after a long time, he (she) sat up from the bed and narrowed his (her) eyes slightly.

"Analyze the current situation and test the memory program..."

Silvery-white streaks of light flashed through her mind. Those were her own memories as Shi Lei. After taking in all of them in just a few seconds, Shi Lei blinked silently and then uttered an expressionless complaint:

"So, I've merged with humans. According to the records in the memory storage file (the messy area), this is similar to the legendary resurrection... Hmm, and by the way, what about the system flow settings?"

Well, by the way, according to this setting, she is the so-called system, and the owner of this body, 'Shi Lei', is the one who has obtained the destiny of the system!

However, she is not a system after all, and Shi Lei is not a person of destiny. She is just an ordinary girl who ate silver by chance. Originally, this ordinary girl should have grown up safely and lived happily after silver became silent, but this accident completely changed her future life.

"The absorption of activation energy (magical elements) is complete, and the main body (silver) has begun to activate...Execute the order: Do not absorb the principle of will life forms. Execute the plan: Prevent the main body (silver) from activating!"

The activated silver will autonomously devour and assimilate everything around it. If it were the former it would basically execute this without hesitation. However, whether it is because of the fusion with Shi Lei or something else, she is obviously unwilling to do this in her heart because of some "emotions". After all, she is "Shi Lei", and the result of doing so is tantamount to suicide.

However, due to the absorption of magical elements, the activation of silver is inevitable. In this case, if you want to ensure the safety of your "Shi Lei", the only feasible solution is to seal yourself!

"Implementation plan: Seal the main body to prevent activation... The main body (Silver) consciousness enters a dormant state, command execution... Start!"

While the silver had not yet been fully activated, Shi Lei repaired her core, including her consciousness. However, not to mention that it was still a little late, and because her own will was far stronger than that of the girl Shi Lei, even after sealing herself, a trace of her will still remained in Shi Lei's body.

"So... according to the records in the memory storage file (the messy area), we are now... one body with two souls?"

Looking at her fair palms, opening and closing them, Shi Lei pondered for a moment before slowly shaking her head.

"Not really. Analyzing the current situation, 'she' is clearly still the master of this body. It's just that because my will is so strong, I occasionally can't help but suppress her will and temporarily control this body... Hmm, is it a soul swap of some kind?"

After analyzing the result he wanted, 'Shi Lei' did not stay for too long, but immediately returned the body to the girl Shi Lei and fell into hibernation.

Everything was normal after that. Even Shi Lei didn't remember this incident at all after waking up. She was still happy. Or, if there was one change... it was probably that her originally lively big pink eyes had lost their luster. This was the only thing that Shi Lei couldn't stop.

"Huh? So this is why my eyes became like this?"

Standing on the edge of the dream, seeing everything before her, Shi Lei nodded in sudden realization and uttered these words. However, just as she finished her words, a helpless complaint suddenly rang out from behind her:

"So, after learning about your inexplicable and bizarre life story, your first reaction was to focus on your own eyes, right?"

"Hmm... Although everything that just happened seems to be true and I am indeed very surprised, it seems that apart from my eyes, I don't know what else I need to worry about!"

Without even turning her head, she answered the voice behind her, as if she had known that the other party was there. Shi Lei said in a cute and naive tone:

"After all, those are all memories of my 'past'. No matter how distressed I was, they are all in the past. Besides, I am very happy now. With Xiao Huan by my side, why should I worry about the past?"

"..."

What she said made a lot of sense, and for a moment Shi Lei was speechless. However, it was obvious that she had not come to discuss the issue of happiness with Shi Lei, but because of another matter:

"You should have felt it. You absorbed too much of Silver's power during the battle just now. Now the seal... can't suppress it anymore!"

169. Be good and call mommy!

(Okay, I admit that it was only when I wrote this that I realized that Xiaolei’s situation and Xiaotang’s character were repeated. In order to distinguish this point and for the subsequent development of the plot, I came up with such a setting...)

She sealed herself in order to prevent Baiyin's instinct from devouring Shi Lei. It was just a subconscious action due to the vague emotions she developed after she was cut off from her original body and the original body's previous principles and treaties.
