The correct way to open the magical girl

Could it be that Yu Shiji's seemingly inexplicable selection criteria actually refers to her?!

Ogas felt cold sweat breaking out on her back.

The appearance of Li Sijie perfectly meets the requirements of the oracle. Is it really God's will that the world personally guides Li Sijie to turn over a new leaf and save the world from disaster?

The other cardinals were also a little frightened, obviously thinking the same thing as Ogas.

"I know what you are thinking. To be honest, Li Sijie really claimed that she received guidance from the world. She also said that she met a messenger from the world named Lu Che. She looked like a little girl with blue hair wearing a yellow raincoat and rain boots." Florai said solemnly.

"Lu Che?!!!!!!!" When the pink-haired Pandora heard the name, her voice suddenly became sharp.

Chapter 601: Twenty-meter radius...

"What? What do you know?" Florai asked curiously.

"A few days ago, a pilgrim came to the church and said she was volunteering to clean the church. I have seen her a few times, and she looks exactly as you described. At that time, someone saw her collecting dew on the flower petals to drink. The water glowed at night, and the light reached the sky. Although she usually doesn't talk to people, she occasionally speaks and says some very philosophical words, which is completely unlike what a little girl of this age should say. I haven't seen her since the church was attacked. Thinking about it..." Pandora said with some fear.

"So, you really want to elect her as Pope?" Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit strange, August interrupted with a bad look.

"It would be best if the Pope came from among us, but the metaphor..." Florai had just said half of her words when she suddenly felt a powerful evil energy enveloping the entire church headquarters.

The seven cardinals were all S-class magical girls, so they naturally realized how powerful this power was. Florai herself, in particular, sensed a familiar aura.

"The monsters that attacked the headquarters that day are back again!" Florai said loudly.

"Great! All seven cardinals are here today, so it's a good opportunity to meet them!" Ogas was holding back a nameless anger, and she turned into a flash of lightning and teleported outside.

What greeted her was not the attack of monsters, but overwhelming space cracks.

"Hehehe, none of you can escape! Without the boss, you will just be my bully!" Li Xuan grinned, holding a slightly bent halberd and firing bang bang. What he shot out were not cannonballs but capture nets. Even A-level magical girls could be caught by his net and dragged into the portal as soon as they were caught.

"Spatial ability? How could it be so strong?" Ogas was shocked to see the sky filled with portals. If she made a mistake, she might fall into the void and never come back.

"The big fish is coming!" Li Xuan rushed forward with a wicked smile. Although his spatial power was exquisite, it was actually far from enough to create such momentum.

The reason why there are so many portals outside is actually because his followers are opening the gates to support in the Evil Land of Falsehood. After their souls are connected with Li Xuan, they can better control the teleportation ability of the Evil Land of Falsehood. For a while, it covered the sky and the sun, and it looked as if Li Xuan had caused it alone.

"No wonder His Holiness lost to him... I'd better wait for the other cardinals to arrive before taking action!" Ogas was shocked. She crossed her hands and a purple-gold ring rose behind her - this must be her weapon.

As the ring appeared, a thick wall of lightning suddenly rose in front of Ogas. Li Xuan switched to a spear and stabbed it hard, but he was unable to break through it completely.

"It's not a barrier, but a powerful control force that binds the energy together?" Seeing that he could not break through for the time being, Li Xuan turned to attack other magical girls.

At this time, the other six cardinals had also appeared. Li Xuan called out all the maids and at the same time rained down forgiveness, summoning a large number of monsters.

The main force of the church gathered at the headquarters at this time. Florai opened the barrier to control the scope of the battlefield. The others used their own methods and the two sides fought in a melee.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Li Xuan began to fish in troubled waters and used his super teleportation ability to try a sneak attack.

He originally wanted to kidnap Ogas as planned, but he didn't expect that this woman was wrapped in lightning all over her body. Using offense instead of defense, Li Xuan failed several times and was instead numbed by the electric shock.

"Is this the Cardinal? He's a bit difficult to deal with..." Seeing that there was no opportunity to take advantage of, Li Xuan had to turn his attention to other cardinals.

In terms of combat power, the church is obviously stronger, but because they have prepared overwhelming portals, even the cardinals dare not rush in rashly, and can only use their own magic to forcibly dismantle the portals.

However, there was a man dressed as a bishop slacking off in the back.

Li Xuan saw Cardinal Shiratori Hatsune at first sight, who was wearing the Shinto shrine maiden's clothes. She had a mature and beautiful appearance and figure, and looked like a widow who was dissatisfied with her beauty.

And most importantly, she always used talismans to support her companions from behind and never killed the enemy herself.

From these characteristics, it can be seen that she is a praying magical girl and is not good at fighting.

After locking the target, Li Xuan attacked decisively. He first used the portal to release a large amount of wine mist that interfered with magic detection, and then teleported in front of Shiratori Hatsune and chopped her down with a halberd.

"!!!" Hatsune Shiratori was shocked and quickly retreated, but she didn't expect that Li Xuan also opened a portal behind her. Li Xuan stretched out a hand from it and pulled her directly into the evil land of illusion.

Cheng Xuan had already ambushed Shiratori Hatsune in the evil land of delusion. As soon as she came in, she was tied around the waist with a pair of stockings and had no chance to resist at all.

"Hatsune!" Florai was shocked and hurriedly used a seal to immobilize Li Xuan, but the latter slipped directly into the portal and reappeared in the distant sky holding the white bird Hatsune Miku.

"The drum is huge! It must be very stable to use." Li Xuan said, reaching out and patting Shiratori Hatsune's thick drum several times. The other maids, receiving his command through the consciousness channel, retreated one after another, leaving only the cannon fodder monster as the rear guard.

"Damn it!" Ogas was furious. She had just succeeded the Pope when the headquarters was attacked and one of the Popes was captured. Li Xuan was not just beating Hatsune Miku's skin, he was slapping her in the face!

"Go to hell!" A bolt of lightning from Ogas struck Li Xuan, but was deflected by his halberd.

"Hehehe, even if all the cardinals are here, they can't do anything to me! I'm taking this beautiful lady Da Nai away first! Bye~" Li Xuan said, and he opened the portal and prepared to leave.

Seeing Shiratori Hatsune being captured, the other cardinals all rushed towards Li Xuan. However, Li Xuan was far away in the sky, and from the distance, no one could stop her from leaving.

However, at this moment, Li Xuan suddenly felt a flash in front of his eyes, and a pair of stockings suddenly appeared in front of him.

This pair of stockings has an extremely strong sealing effect, even the space and time around the stockings are somewhat distorted. Even a space master like Li Xuan cannot force his way through.

"What is this?" Li Xuan frowned, turned around and saw that the surrounding area was covered with crisscrossing stocking seals. Pairs of stockings were tied together and fixed on the hanging hangers, intricately connected to each other.

Florai was shocked when she saw this scene. She thought to herself that no one could match her in the attainment of sealing magic. She could even defeat many S-class magicians with just basic magic.

However, creating a powerful seal of such a scale in an instant was still something she could not imagine.

"Who is this power...?" Li Xuan said solemnly.

"Come on! King of Black, a stocking seal with a radius of twenty meters!" Li Sijie slowly floated in front of Li Xuan, stretched out his hand to grab the stockings and flicked them, and the amplitude quickly spread to all the stockings.

Chapter 602: You Can’t Catch the Wolf Without Your Mother

In an instant, the seal, originally formed by countless fine threads, spread out, encompassing the entire twenty-meter radius. Li Xuan had no time to react before he was frozen in place, unable to move.

"Do you think you can defeat me like this?" Li Xuan gritted his teeth and then launched the liberation.

A surge of vitality surged from his body. In the state of selflessness, even the seal could not do anything to Li Xuan.

He instantly broke free and swung his halberd at Li Xuan. This ability, which could not be restrained by any restraint, could be said to be the nemesis of the seal system.

However, Li Sijie was not afraid at all. She kicked the halberd away with a side sweep, and then kicked Li Xuan in the abdomen.

The other cardinals were all shocked when they saw this: Anyone could see that Li Sijie's two moves had almost no skill at all, and she relied purely on her powerful magic to repel Li Xuan.

Although most of them had been tied up by Li Sijie before, they basically lost to traps, sneak attacks and other means. Therefore, in their cognition, Li Sijie's strength should be not much different from their own, but his methods were more tricky.

However, today's scene made them realize that Li Sijie's hard power is also higher than theirs. Even without using magic, there are probably not many S-level people who can defeat her.

Li Xuan was kicked and retreated with his hands covering his stomach in pain. He quickly changed into cannon mode and fired several thermobaric bombs in succession, creating a wall of fire as a cover, and then opened the portal to prepare to escape.

"Where are you going!" Li Sijie cast the barrier over herself without hesitation, passed through the wall of fire, and grabbed Shiratori Hatsune's ankle with her stockings, pulling her back. Then, she engaged Li Xuan, who had already slipped halfway through the portal.

Although Li Xuan had used liberation, he was still beaten by Li Sijie and had almost no power to fight back. When he wanted to escape, he was always entangled by the stockings.

Seeing that other cardinals were about to arrive, Li Xuan had to use some tricks. He opened more than a dozen portals, threw out the magical girls he had just captured, and then shot high-explosive bombs at them.

In order to protect these magical girls, Li Sijie had to abandon Li Xuan, use barriers to intercept the fired shells from all sides, and protect the thrown magical girls one by one with stockings.

Just after she intercepted the last shell, a portal suddenly opened and the head maid Lilika rushed out of it, trying to attack Li Sijie from behind.

"Liberation! Kiss of Death!"

Lilica activated Liberation right from the start. After becoming a follower, her strength was already very close to S-level. Coupled with the enhancement of the Fountain of Madness, it was not surprising that she could use Liberation.

After being released, Lilika's power increased significantly, and each attack had a 1% chance of inflicting instant death. If you fought her long enough, you'd inevitably run out of luck and be killed in one blow.

"Mother Lilika, why is it you? It's too dangerous for you to be a prisoner, right?!" Li Sijie asked in surprise, blocking the sword with a barrier.

"I asked for it on my own initiative. This is too dangerous. I can only feel at ease if I do it myself!" Lilika whispered, suddenly raised her shield and smashed it hard on the barrier.

Li Sijie's defensive barrier collapsed instantly. Seeing that Lilika was determined, she took a step back to avoid the shield attack, then used a dozen pairs of stockings to reach into the gap of the armor, tied a knot inside, and reached out to pull.

Lilika's armor suddenly fell apart.

Lilika was so shocked that she was already tied up with socks by Li Sijie before she could even think straight. Li Xuan rushed to rescue her, but the six cardinals had already arrived, all ready to teach Li Xuan a lesson.

"I will definitely come back!" Li Xuan knew that he was no match for his opponent, so he had to leave a harsh remark, open the portal and slip away.

After this battle, all the magical girls from the church were rescued by Li Sijie, and Li Xuan not only failed to capture anyone, but even his important head maid became a prisoner.

All in all, this was the church's first victory over Li Xuan's camp.

Unfortunately, this victory was just an act.

"Li Sijie kicked really hard! He almost kicked out my egg yolk!" After returning to the illusory evil land, Li Xuan said while rubbing his aching lower abdomen.

"Master, is it really necessary to let them capture the head maid? We have had a long-standing grudge with the church. What if they want to execute the head maid?" Filia asked worriedly.

"Miss Lilica volunteered. She said she was worried about sending someone else over. As for her safety, you don't have to worry. The church knows that she was once a human and will not kill her easily. Besides, with Li Sijie here, she will definitely try to save Lilica even if there is real danger." Li Xuan said confidently.

"Can we trust that girl named Li Sijie? After all, she is a magical girl, not a monster like us." Wang Li said worriedly.

"Don't worry, no matter whether she is trustworthy or not, she will never let Lilika get hurt. After all, she is a rare lolita mother, and she will not bear to let anything happen to Lilika. Besides, I can see Lilika's situation at any time. If there is a crisis, I will naturally take action." Li Xuan said, touching Wang Li's fluffy tail.

"Master...don't touch my tail~" Wang Li felt a tingling sensation from the tip of her tail to the tip of her heart, and immediately fell limply into Li Xuan's arms.

While Li Xuan was playing with the fox girl's kung fu, there was a rare relaxed atmosphere in the church.

Li Sijie fought off the monsters, rescued all the captured magical girls, and even captured a prisoner.

This victory may not have been significant, but it broke the myth of Li Xuan's invincibility and undoubtedly boosted the morale of the church.

The seven cardinals temporarily put aside the important matter of the Pope's election and focused on questioning Lilika, which inevitably involved the use of magic such as direct memory reading and hypnosis.

But Li Xuan had been prepared for this. She asked Mian Yin to help her fabricate a half-true and half-false memory in advance to prevent detection. As for the information about her conspiracy with Li Si, it was hidden deep in her memory that could not be detected.

After a day and night of interrogation, the church only obtained some vague information about Li Xuan.

"To summarize the interrogation results: This person's name is Lilica Prismriba, and she was once an A-rank magical girl in the church. She was born in the Black Gold Country, but later went to the Golden Country to carry out a mission, and after completing the mission, she stayed there."

In front of the headquarters lobby, Shiratori Hatsune, who was in charge of the interrogation, summarized.

"But the power in her is clearly evil energy! In other words, she turned from a magical girl into a monster?" asked Ogas.

"Yes, her memory also contains the process of her fall from the devil. It seems that she fell from the devil after drinking a deep red liquid."

Chapter 603 The New Pope

"Isn't it a case of mimicry plus fictitious memories? Although magical girls have fallen into demonic ways before, their personalities and appearances usually change drastically, or they may even turn into monsters. But there's no such sign in her," Florai said doubtfully.

"No, my ability allows me to observe the soul directly. If it's mimicry, I can tell at a glance. Fictitious memories are even easier to detect. The effect that covers the surface of the mind can be eliminated by a small-scale purification." Shiratori Hatsune said affirmatively.

"So, the enemy has special demonic abilities. This is bad news." Ogas said solemnly.

"Similar information has been available for a long time. As early as in the New Sun Country, someone reported seeing people who looked like the Witch Band helping this guy fight." Florai said disdainfully.

"Don't interrupt me yet, let me finish telling you the important information: According to the confession of the prisoners, the enemy who attacked us is the same monster that the Yushiji repeatedly asked to be eliminated before. He calls himself the 'King of Black' and has many monsters and fallen magical girls under his command. The prisoner we captured is her head maid, his second-in-command." Shiratori Hatsune continued.

"Is this the second-in-command? I think her evil energy level is not even S-level." Florai said in surprise.

"Status doesn't necessarily represent strength. In the battle to siege the church that day, the strongest were undoubtedly Kamisaki Sumire and Ryosakura Ishinoya after they fell from the devil's clutches. Then there was a monster we had never seen before. The strength of these three has undoubtedly reached S-level." said Hatsune Shiratori.

"Except for the girl in the third hunter seat who has some skills, the others are just small fry! It's just that teleportation ability is too annoying! The initiative is completely controlled by the opponent! Is there the location of the opponent's lair in the intelligence? If you know it, just kill them directly!" Ogas said angrily.

"There's no information on this. Their lair is entered and exited by teleportation, so the exact location is uncertain. Maybe it's in a crack space like the black market." Shiratori Hatsune shook her head.

"Don't underestimate the other party. This ability to corrupt people is the most deadly. Remember they captured Nanamiya Maya? If she also corrupted..." Florai reminded.

Hearing this, Ogas was stunned for a moment: If Nanamiya Maya also fell into the devil's trap, the balance of victory and defeat would tilt heavily towards Li Xuan.

"The opponent's strength is constantly growing! Just like a big fish eating small fish, it can only eat small fish and shrimps at the beginning, but when it grows up, it can swallow everything! Now I understand why Yu Shi Ji clearly asked to eliminate such a small character - it's a pity that we still don't pay enough attention! Otherwise, if any cardinal went there, there would not be what happened today!" Florai said with great sorrow.

"There's nothing we can do about it. We were really short of manpower at the time. We had to confront the hunters and hunt down Li Si..." Shiratori Hatsune said, then paused awkwardly because Li Sijie was sitting next to her and listening.

"I'm sorry. I was too naughty at the time and caused trouble for everyone." Li Sijie stood up and bowed.

"It's okay, it's okay. It's a good thing to correct one's mistakes. Besides, the magical girl we sent over at the beginning had already crushed him in strength, but he just managed to win by luck every time." Seeing her savior was so apologetic, Hatsune Shiratori quickly spoke to comfort her.

"Miss Li has made a great contribution this time! If you hadn't secretly set up the seal, we would have lost another cardinal!" Florai stood up and said.

"No, no, if it weren't for the cardinals holding the overall situation, how would I have time to set the trap?" Li Sijie said modestly.

Seeing both cardinals praising Lisjie's contributions, Ogath's face turned grim. Lisjie had been a major figure in this battle. If she had supported Florai, it would have been difficult for her to ascend to the papacy. If the oracle followed, she would even be eligible to directly assume the papacy.

"Don't be so modest! This time you even captured the opponent's number two as a prisoner! With this hostage, the Black King will be more or less hesitant when he wants to attack. This is another great achievement!" Pandora and Ogas have always been at odds. Noticing her ugly expression, she couldn't help but feel secretly delighted and hurriedly stood up to speak for Li Sijie.

"In that case, there's no need to hide anything. The Messenger instructs us to choose the largest magical girl in Nai to serve as Pope. I think Miss Li's size is a perfect match for this, and her strength and achievements are worthy of this qualification. I nominate Li Sijie as Pope. Who is in favor and who is against?"

Seeing that Pandora had expressed her opinion, Florai didn't waste any more words. She took out her blackboard stick and poked it on the table. She looked around with a domineering look as if Liu Yan, who was armed with a 10-foot-tall sword, was the most powerful.

According to church rules, if the revelation machine has clear instructions, there is no need to follow the two-thirds principle. This is because for church believers, the revelation machine's orders are above all else.

This heavy burden forced anyone who opposed her to think twice, especially since Li Sijie had saved the lives of two of the seven cardinals. With their support, Li Sijie had a firm foothold in the church.

Ogas looked at everyone: Flora and Shiratori were both saved by her, needless to say; Pandora always hated her, even if Flora nominated a dog as Pope, she would decisively vote for the dog instead of herself.

Among the other three: Jiadi is a taciturn person who has not spoken a word for eight hundred years; Levi is a typical pragmatist, and the stability of the church is more important to her than anything else; although Duokuro supports herself, a mere two votes cannot change the status quo at all.

"In that case, please let Miss Li succeed as Pope!" Ogas waited for a moment, and seeing that no one stood up to object, she had no choice but to agree to this plan - after all, for her, this result was better than letting Flora become Pope.

"Isn't this inappropriate? How can I, a wanted criminal, suddenly become the Pope?" Li Sijie said at a loss.

"The College of Cardinals has decided that you will be the Pope." Shiratori Hatsune said gently.
