Just a magical girl who picks up trash

The top leaders of Tianta City, including the tower masters themselves, naturally knew very well that Tianyu City somehow controlled a technological system that was more advanced than Skynet. Although many people suspected that the system was a power discovered by the people of Tianyu City from the ruins, only Luo Luo, who had witnessed Yu Huan's various battles and transformations and even imitated him personally, knew very well that the power... did not come from the old site of Tianyu City, but from some mysterious power behind Yu Huan or the girl named Yu Huan!

At that time, Luo Luo was quite interested in this power, but now, compared to his interest, he was more anxious to use this power to seek help, and the reason was undoubtedly what he said before... the troubles encountered in Tianta City!

Okay, it's a bit messy, let me sort it out again... Perhaps he could see the attitude behind Tian Ling's indifferent expression, so in the end, Luo Luo could only give a rough outline of what happened with a wry smile...

In fact, there is nothing much to say. A few years ago, the team led by Yu Huan won the freshman festival in Tianta City. However, who would have thought that they were attacked by the Mirror Organization at that time. Yu Huan's whereabouts were unknown after that, and he was suspected to have been killed by the leader of the Mirror Organization.

After that, Xiao Ya and the others asked for their own "rewards" from Tianta City and seemed to be impatient to go to the ruined city, and in just a few years they built a city called Tianyu City.

Because he has a good relationship with some high-level officials in Tianyu City, Luo Luo obviously knows more about the inside story of Tianyu City than outsiders' random guesses. For example, all the girls living in the inner city of Tianyu City are collectively called magical girls or Kamen Riders, and they all seem to be witnesses of the mysterious powers expressed by these two nicknames.

Another point is the existence of Tianyu City’s artificial intelligence or Tianyu City’s satellite: Zeya!

Luo Luo was deeply shocked by this. After all, Tianta City's only satellite network had taken decades of effort, utilizing various technologies and ultimately even directly folding space. It took enormous effort to finally successfully send it into the long-destroyed "sky". Yet, Tianyu City somehow managed to do it in just a few years...

At the same time, he also learned about Zeya, an intelligent being that far surpassed Skynet... This made Luo Luo instantly have some ideas.

"In fact, before the New Life Festival, a ruined city was discovered in Tianta City. They also unearthed a super ancient relic that seemed to date back to before the Mirror Destruction Day... or perhaps even longer!"

This was the real reason for seeking help from Tianyu City. Of course, it wasn't to ask for their help in the excavation, but because...

"At that time, we sent out twelve expeditions to investigate the ruins, but for various reasons, all of them disappeared. In the end, there was no news at all. Finally, after a high-level meeting, we decided to send five tower masters, led by the boss, to investigate. However..."

They disappeared, along with six tower masters including their boss, half of Tianta City's high-end forces, just like that, disappeared in the ruins, and it happened right at the beginning of the chaos of the Freshman Festival. Because all the tower masters of Tianta City were dispatched to deal with the monster cultivated by the Mirror Organization, they did not get the information at the first time.

And when the dust settled on the riot here, the 13th expedition team disappeared without a trace!

After that, on the one hand, they were forced to encircle and suppress the Mirror Organization out of dignity. On the other hand, in fact, without exposing the matter, Tianta City secretly used all the computing power of Skynet to start investigating the ruins, hoping to find everyone back. But the result was naturally... nothing!

"This is why we're seeking cooperation. Open cooperation is one aspect, and the other is that we hope to use the power of the satellite named Zeya to help us investigate the situation of a certain ruin. Of course, Tianta City will pay the corresponding compensation. This is not a transaction, but... a request!"

Having said this, Luo Luo immediately lowered his head sincerely, without a trace of falsehood in his tone.

"..."

After hearing his words, Tian Ling fell silent for a moment. The entire conference room seemed to have fallen into silence at this moment. Just as Luo Luo was quietly waiting for the other party's answer, he suddenly heard the other party seem to speak:

"What do you think?"

It seemed like he was asking someone, but Luo Luo remembered that there was clearly no one else in this room?

Just as he was thinking about it, a voice belonging to a young girl suddenly rang in his ears:

"What do you mean by 'what do you think'? It's not for us to decide something as big as a power collaboration. Of course, we should wait for our dear 'city lord' to come back and ask for her opinion!"

Such a quiet sentence, but for some reason Luo Luo suddenly heard... a gritting of teeth tone from it?

No, no, no, that's not the point. The point is that Tianyu City... actually has a city lord? ! !

23. Abnormal

The Lord of Tianyu City... well, since it's a city, then having a so-called Lord isn't surprising. But the key is, others don't know, but doesn't Luo Liao know it? To put it bluntly, Tianyu City is just a city built by a group of young people like Xiao Ya, without any backing.

Although he didn't know where their artificial intelligence (Zeya) that surpassed Tianta City came from, at least Luo Liao had never heard the city lord say so. After all, this city itself was the result of cooperation among the girls in front of him. As for who would be in power... Obviously, in Luo Liao's opinion, it should be like Tianta City, with multiple people in charge!

And now you tell me this city actually has a city lord? Who is so powerful that even that little witch from the Xiao family is willing to bow down?

Answer: Love!

Um, okay, just kidding.

"Then when will your city lord be able to come back?"

Although they have a good personal relationship, since I came here on behalf of Tianta City, Tianyu City will naturally not joke with me when I speak in this regard. Since they said there is a city lord, there is naturally no problem. When Luo Luo asked this, his eyes also looked at Tianling... the robot beside him?

It’s really a robot!

She looks like a little human girl, with long silver hair and a cute face. Her skin is pearly white, and she is wearing a light blue dress.

At first glance, he might look no different from a human being, and in fact, there really is no difference. If he ignored the data light that flashed in his eyes from time to time, Luo Luo might have almost mistaken him for a real person.

“What an amazing bionic technology!”

He sighed in his heart, but it was obvious that he was not paying attention to this matter at the moment. When Luo Luo asked curiously, he saw Yu Yuan in front of him curl his lips in annoyance and said:

"Who knows, let's see when she wants to come back!"

Really, I was so stubborn that I tried to fight Zero and ended up in another world. Then, I happened to meet the silver clone in another world. Later, because I was not good at using my strength, I was defeated again a thousand years ago.

In just a few years, she had only leveled up and so many things had happened, and she hadn't participated in the entire process... Such a situation was obviously quite disqualifying for Yu Yuan, who was the real system of Yu Huan. It immediately made her feel very bad. Of course, in addition to this, another thing that made her feel even worse was:

"You didn't come back to Tianyu City the first time after you came back. Sister, you are so annoying!"

He was muttering this in his heart, and of course his expression was full of annoyance, which made Luo Luo speechless... Why did he feel that this senior executive of Tianyu City looked so much like a... resentful woman in the boudoir?

Maybe it’s an illusion!

Since the answer here requires the city lord's reply, Luo Luo naturally did not say much. After all, if it was a cooperation between two major forces and there was no highest decision-maker, then it was naturally impossible to give an answer casually.

In view of this, before the mysterious 'city lord' came back, Luo Luo just settled down in Tianyu City. His purpose... was naturally to wait for Yu Huan's return.

Yu Yuan and the others who stayed in Tianyu City obviously had no intention of stopping this. After all, unlike the arrogant inspection team before, they still had some friendship with Luo Liao. In addition, there was no need to doubt Luo Liao's character too much!

So just like that, Luo Luo settled down in Tianyu City, while at the same time, the people led by Xiao Ya were in the Demon Realm and heading towards the Demon Realm Star Tower, which was in the center.

In the distant desert ruins, Cai Xiaolin, Feng Qianxue and others who were searching for their brother and father have found the entrance to a huge ruin. At the same time, in the desert, a figure wearing pure white black hole armor and a girl named Zero are floating in the air, looking for a silver figure lurking in the desert.

Everyone was taking action, and the entire continent seemed a little nervous at this moment, like the calm before the storm.

at the same time……

“Tick-tock~~”

In the dim underground cave, there seemed to be the sound of flowing water dripping from the rocks on the rock wall, making a clear sound in this dark cave.

"Buzz buzz~~~"

Along with this sound, a faint sound of something slowly moving suddenly rang out from within. The sound of the increasingly large gears turning could be clearly felt, accompanied by an extremely faint voice that continued to ring out:

"Energy maintenance system remaining energy: 3%. Backup energy source ready for replacement..."

'Statistics: Number of remaining backup energy sources: 13, estimated duration: 1454214 hours!'

"Matrix activation program initiated... Energy lost, insufficient available resources, activation experiment number 17,322,714 failed, system in standby mode..."

With these sounds that seemed to be reporting to someone, the gears that were originally making a faint sound became weaker again after a while. It was obvious that they were starting to accumulate the energy that was already limited and began to prepare for the next activation. However, from its previous reporting sound, it was not difficult to hear that the possibility of activating something was... very small!

After all, it is an existence that is obviously buried deep underground like a relic. It has been continuing to issue boring and solitary commands for who knows how many years. If it can be activated, it should have been activated long ago. However, according to this situation, if there is no accident, this voice may not complete its mission until the energy is completely exhausted.

That’s right, if nothing unexpected happens!

"Boom~~~"

The earth-shaking sound caused the gears, which had been slowing down, to freeze for a moment. Just as it was about to end, the sudden vibration seemed to provide a slight turning point for a system that was about to fall asleep. Suddenly, the gears that had been gradually stagnating began to turn again, little by little, and the sound that was about to disappear gradually sounded again:

"External energy fluctuations detected, identified as usable energy, exploration commenced..."

Invisible waves slowly seeped out from underground, gradually spread upwards through the thick surface layer, and then gradually bypassed the thick desert and finally came to a huge ruined city right above. Here, a devastating disaster was taking place!

24. Planning

"Hula~~"

The pitch-black vortex swallowed up all the silver-white liquid in front of it as if it was swallowing everything. After doing all this casually, Ling slowly withdrew his palm and felt the energy surging in his body. He immediately turned his head with a calm expression and looked at Yu behind him, shook his head and said:

"It's a clone, not the real one!"

After hearing this, Yu, who was watching the show on the side, nodded slightly:

"I think so. This guy has become increasingly adept at hiding his tracks over the years. Catching him by the tail... obviously isn't that easy!"

With a smile on his face, Zero, who had released his transformation, came to her with a slight frown and nodded, but then asked in confusion:

"Since you know you can't find its true form this way, why do you keep attacking these clones?"

Suddenly, he sent her a message saying that he was coming to encircle Baiyin. Although Ling was curious about why Yu, who was extremely angry with her because of the child's incident, would make such an invitation, she happily agreed without hesitation. However, after this period of encirclement and suppression, Ling discovered that Yu's purpose seemed not only to hunt these Baiyin clones and absorb their energy, but it seemed that he was... restraining Baiyin?

"Just try your luck!"

To this, Yu responded:

"Anyway, that guy's real body can't leave this plane, so if we just keep searching in the main plane, we'll eventually find it... Just think of it as me just hanging out for some fun!"

Having fought against Baiyin for so many years, Yu had a better grasp of his habits. He would occasionally cause trouble for Baiyin's clone when he was bored or on a whim, so this answer seemed to be fine. However, Ling blinked and realized that things were not that simple.

"No, you've been acting too frequently lately, and you even dragged me into this, someone I should hate, so I guess you have other motives!"

Yu had never concealed his disgust for himself, and the starting point of that disgust was a few years ago when he killed someone who was judged to be an enemy. Zero felt that he would never forget the expression on Yu's face at that time!

The one who fought hard against Baiyin's many tactics even when he was just starting out; the one who remained calm and composed even after taking over the mess that was the Mirror Organization and facing the vicious guys in it; the one who remained calm even when facing his own original calculations and having most of the control over the system taken away.

It was as if she didn't care about anything, like an outsider standing outside the chessboard, like a goddess high above, just smiling and watching everything around her develop ruthlessly... But at that moment, facing herself, she released an unparalleled murderous intent... It was a real desire to kill herself, a desire that had never been so strong before.

And the reason for all this... was obviously because of the girl he killed!

Ling had no idea who the other party was, and in fact, she didn't care. In fact, if she hadn't accidentally learned about the order that Yu had suddenly issued in the organization, she wouldn't have paid any attention to this person.

Later, because of this curiosity, Ling found Yuhuan, and after confirming the threat he posed to them, he resolutely decided to eliminate him before he grew up!

Ling was very clear that the other party seemed to be the one that Yu cared about, but obviously for the so-called "overall situation" and the little jealousy in her heart, Ling finally made such a judgment. She thought that it was just an ordinary girl that Yu had fallen in love with on a whim again. Then, until she clearly felt Yu's overwhelming murderous intent, she realized... that her judgment was wrong!

But the person has been killed, and she will not regret what she has done. The power of that child is too strange, so strange that even Zero who stole the system can clearly feel that it is a power that is like his nemesis. It's just that because it is still a little immature, it cannot be fully utilized. If it can be fully explored, then the result of that battle may be different!

And since the child's power can produce such a feeling even to a thief of her system, it goes without saying that it is a huge threat to Yu, the real holder of the system... It is too dangerous to leave such a threat, both for her and for the Saint!

So Zero did it, knowing the consequences (although they were more serious than he had imagined), and he was even prepared to bear all the consequences...including death!

After all, this is what he owes Yu. This betrayed life should have been taken away by Yu decades ago!

Yu really wanted to kill herself at that time, and the reason was undoubtedly because of that child. After Ling knew this clearly, she couldn't help but feel jealous again, but more of it was a relief... She didn't mind dying at Yu's hands, no matter what the reason was!

However, she survived in the end. It was not because Yu was soft-hearted, nor because of their long-standing friendship, and it was even less likely because her death would cause trouble for the operation of the Mirror Organization, etc. These are all messy but plausible reasons. Instead, it was simply because of Ling's very simple reason, so simple that it made people laugh:

"She should be the one to collect her bill herself. If I act rashly...she'll be mad!"

Who she is...it goes without saying!

He actually let me go just for this reason? He actually doted on and was so humble to that 'her'? He actually loved and cherished her so much that he didn't even do anything to make her angry. This kind of thing... This kind of thing... It really made people envious and jealous!

Ling didn't know where Yu got the certainty that the other party was not dead, but since Yu said so, she naturally wouldn't doubt it. After all, Yu's power... had been completely lost decades ago with the split of the system, and she had completely lost her grasp of it.

Despite that, he managed to save his life because of 'her', but Yu never paid any attention to her after that, as if he had completely ignored her. Even after they broke up, the other party would occasionally make sarcastic remarks about him, and at that time Ling would usually accept the sarcastic remarks with peace of mind. However, now... there is not even any sarcastic remarks!

Or... have I completely lost the qualifications to be noticed by the other person?

25. Accident

It should have been like this. Although she didn't regret having done that, Ling's complete disregard for Yu was undoubtedly a torture. This torture made her suffer day and night, but she could not find any way to relieve this pain. She could only endure it like atonement...

Then one day, perhaps feeling that he had done enough to atone for his sins, Yu actually contacted him again?!

No matter what the reason was, no matter what she contacted him for, as long as she was willing to talk to him, willing to "see" him, for Ling, it was already worth everything. Not to mention that the only message Yu sent during the communication was great news for her:

"Hunting for silver, do you want to go?"

Hunting for silver... well, that's not the point. The point is... acting together with Yu?

How many years had it been since this happened? So long… so long that even the memory had become hazy. It had been who knows how long since that incident since I last heard those familiar, concise, imperative words. Without even needing to think, Zero immediately acknowledged it, and then, excitedly, he and Yu began searching for traces of silver in the desert.

Ling actually doesn’t care what Yu’s purpose is, because as long as he is still by her side and she still needs him...that’s enough!

"..."

The previous words were just a casual inquiry out of curiosity, but after seeing Yu's smiling expression, Ling wisely chose to shut up and stop talking... The gap still exists; no, it should be said that since that incident a few years ago, for him and the other party, they have long since changed from strangers who broke up because of some relationship to someone they even hate to talk to.

In this situation, although Yu seemed to be acting with her, he obviously didn't want to pay attention to her, let alone tell her his purpose. His attitude was clearly like "I just want you to be my thug, get out if you don't like it"!

However, there is nothing I can do about it, I am so hungry!

"This place is basically cleaned up... Shall we continue?"

After skipping this awkward topic, Ling looked at the city below that had been half-destroyed in the recent battle and said so immediately. Yu also looked down at the collapsed city that could not even be called ruins, but at most debris, with a deep crater in the middle that looked like a meteorite landing. He nodded slightly.

"There seems to be some residual silver power inside... not even a residue. Let's go!"

It was obvious that they looked down on the silver energy that had already been shattered and could not even be considered as residue. After all, that tiny power obviously did not even have the possibility of forming a will similar to the residue. If left alone, the only outcome would undoubtedly be: it would dissipate with the passage of time.

Since he originally came to cause trouble for Baiyin and delay time, Yu naturally would not waste time on this kind of energy that he looked down upon. After destroying one of Baiyin's clones again, he took Ling to the next destination.

In fact, she was not joking when she said she was trying her luck, but she really thought so seriously... Although Baiyin has the power to devour the world, for some reason, it seems that it cannot leave the main world of this ruin and can only rely on its clone to devour it.

And it is precisely because of this that if we can really find traces of silver in the ruins, then it will be obvious that we can destroy it in one fell swoop, which is undoubtedly a good thing.
