"Eh? Is it really possible?" Shen Liang's eyes lit up and he blurted out subconsciously.

As soon as she said this, she immediately regretted it, but the words had already been spoken and there was no way to take them back - fortunately, the magical girls were all immersed in a joyful atmosphere, and no one came to laugh at her for a while.

"I was kidding. Even a bishop can't cut in line." Li Xuan said with a cunning smile.

Seeing Shen Liang’s flushed face, Li Sijie couldn’t help but laugh.

Because time was not abundant, Li Xuan did not plan to carefully design a special plan for each person. He just used whatever Play he thought of, and soon tossed around all the magical girls present, and engraved Servant Runes on their lower abdomens.

[Unlocked Defeat CG: Tentacle Play (II)]

[Unlocked Defeat CG: Petrification Play (II)]

[Experience +300...]

The system notification sound kept coming, and after several hours of hard work, I got a total of four defeat CGs and 1200 experience points.

Li Xuan carefully checked the information of the CG and found that only the four A-level magical girls he defeated personally unlocked the defeat CG. The others were probably determined by the system as not being defeated by him, so they were not counted.

As for Shen Liang, Li Xuan had not touched it since he gave her a nucleic acid test, so naturally he did not unlock it.

At this time, the alcohol fog had dissipated, and the magic girls who had fully enjoyed the pleasure slowly regained their sanity. An A-level magic girl glared at Li Xuan angrily and said, "Beasts, you actually took advantage of the opportunity to attack, Maya will not let you go!"

"Oh? You mean that little brat? She has... Damn, I forgot about her!" Li Xuan slapped his forehead and then he remembered that he was so excited when he came here that he actually left Maye outside. If someone picked her up, he would suffer a great loss.

Chapter 258 Did the Bishop misunderstand something?

"Don't worry, I have sealed it with magic to protect it well." Li Sijie snapped her fingers, and Cheng Xuan quickly dragged Maye, who was still sleeping, over with a chain.

Seeing that Maya was also caught, the four A-level magical girls were shocked. They gasped and couldn't believe what was happening before their eyes.

"No way? Miss Maya actually lost?!"

"Impossible! Miss Maya is invincible and she is the only one who kills monsters. How could she be defeated by a monster?!"

Looking at the magical girls' expressions that looked as if the sky was falling, Li Xuan couldn't help but find it a little funny, but then he understood their feelings.

Although her middle school character adds a touch of comedy to Nanamiya Maya's appearance, and she looks pitiful after being captured, her strength is still unquestionable.

"Mr. Li, we've been playing for a little too long. The church should be searching for Nanamiya Maya's whereabouts right now. Once they find this place..." Li Sijie said, standing up from the audience.

"Give me a little more time, I have one more thing to ask, and then we'll leave." Li Xuan nodded and carried Shen Liang into the bishop's room alone.

"I knew you wouldn't let me go. You're the type who saves the best things for last, right? No wonder you didn't take my virginity." Shen Liang smiled bitterly and sat on the table, lifting up the majestic bishop's skirt: "It's up to you! I know it's useless to resist, you will definitely force me anyway."

Looking at the bishop who suddenly took the initiative, Li Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then realized that this was because the other magical girls were fully satisfied, so the effect of the alcohol wore off quickly, but Shen Liang only tasted it lightly, so naturally the fire was still there.

But he didn't bring Shen Liang here to play with him alone.

"You misunderstood. I let you off the hook because of the agreement with Lilika. As for bringing you here, it's because I have something to ask you alone." Li Xuan explained.

"..." Realizing that she had misunderstood Li Xuan's intention, Shen Liang was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a hole to hide in. She had just spent a long time convincing herself, but the result was one-sided, and the other party had no intention at all.

"Okay, if you want, I'll come to you alone when I have the chance. Now I have something more important to do: you are the bishop, you should know about the Yu Shi Ji, right? Let me ask you, what exactly is the Yu Shi Ji? Tell me everything you know." Li Xuan asked seriously.

"I'm sorry, the metaphor machine is the church's top secret. I can only follow instructions and don't know the details." Shen Liang shook his head.

"Don't pretend. It's fine if other people don't know, but as a bishop, how could you not know?"

"...I really don't know." Shen Liang lowered his head, obviously not intending to cooperate.

"Then let me ask you this: Why would a living person be placed in a container and used as a terminal?" Li Xuan saw that she refused to speak, so he changed the way he asked the question.

"How did you know?" Shen Liang was indeed shocked.

"You really do know, right? Stop denying it and tell me what happened. You should know that I have countless ways to torture you. Tell me now or you will suffer." Li Xuan threatened.

Shen Liang hesitated for a long time. She was not afraid of fighting monsters or the threat of death, but she was afraid of being captured by monsters and being tortured for the rest of her life.

Seeing Shen Liang still hesitating, Li Xuan continued to add: "You have to think clearly. This is not just your business. If I can't get the information I want, I will have to capture all the magical girls here and interrogate them carefully. Even if you don't care, you don't want to see them suffer, right?"

Hearing this, Shen Liang, who was always known for her generosity and love, was indeed shaken. Although the church's secrets were important, in her heart they were not as important as the lives of her subordinates.

So she said with difficulty: "If I tell you, can you promise to let us go?"

"Okay, I will leave you in the church and leave with the information. No one will know that you revealed the information about the metaphor machine." Li Xuan agreed readily.

"Okay, then I'll tell you everything I know." Shen Liang sighed and began to describe:

"According to the explanation of the Cardinals, the Revelation Machine is a device used to receive and interpret oracles. The oracles come directly from the 'world' - the world that gives us power. It is the cornerstone of the church. We are all believers of the 'world', so as long as the oracle comes, we will immediately follow it."

"Do you believe that the oracle comes from the world itself, rather than being fabricated by the church's top brass?"

"Impossible. The instructions of the metaphor machine are sometimes very detailed, and even provide very specific information. Sometimes it will simply directly designate someone to execute. And most of the instructions have been proved to be correct decisions afterwards. According to the actions of the metaphor machine, the conspiracy of monsters can often be thwarted in advance, and disasters can be eliminated invisibly, just like an omniscient and omnipotent god." Shen Liang said with a pious expression on his face.

"Let's talk about the terminal of the metaphor machine. Why is a magical girl used as the terminal?" Li Xuan asked.

"Because only magical girls who are good at praying can receive the instructions of the prophecy machine and then read them out in the voice of God. That's why the prophecy machine is written as 'yushi' next to the mouth, rather than 'yushi' next to the words. The instructions of the prophecy machine are regional. Only when a place has a prophecy machine can it receive the corresponding oracle. Therefore, the church has been committed to deploying prophecy machines all over the world, and is not hesitating to use cooperation, alliance, merger and even war to expand its sphere of influence." Shen Liang continued.

"Is it necessary to put someone in a container and imprison her just to follow orders? And seeing how painful she looks, it shouldn't be her own will, right?"

"Sure enough, it was you who interfered with the metaphor machine that day... I really can't figure it out, even if you can bypass our perception, how did you avoid the self-destruct mechanism?" Shen Liang couldn't help asking.

"Don't answer a question with a question. I'm the one asking the questions now, so answer them honestly." Li Xuan reminded.

"Okay... I'll answer your question: First of all, it's not imprisonment, but an auxiliary device. Receiving first-hand oracles requires extremely high purity from magical girls, even to the point of being harsh. Even the prayer-type magical girls who emphasize purity the most usually have to be placed in auxiliary devices to ensure that they have no distractions and become a qualified terminal. As for whether it is voluntary, I can guarantee: at least Jiesha must be voluntary." Shen Liang sighed.

"Jiesha..." Li Xuan repeated the name. He still remembered that this was the name of the magical girl with tubes inserted all over her body. She obviously looked very painful, so how could she be willing?

"I know you don't believe it, but I tell you: Jiesha is the former bishop. During the period when Senior Lilika was active, she had been the bishop of Huahe City. On the day she became the terminal of the metaphor machine, she said goodbye to us with a smile and had her last dinner with us." Shen Liang said, her eyes began to turn red. Obviously, this was a sad memory for her.

Chapter 259 Let's Run

"Will not every bishop eventually become a metaphor machine?" Li Xuan asked with some surprise.

"No, the magical girls who become metaphor machines are nominated by the local bishops. After a series of reviews, the most qualified magical girls are selected - of course, this process can be rejected at any time. After being selected, they need to go to the headquarters of the Platinum Country to be personally interviewed by the president. I heard that every magical girl who has met the president will eventually become a metaphor machine terminal willingly and is willing to give everything for their faith." Shen Liang replied.

"Why...does this sound like you've been brainwashed?"

"..."

"Okay, let's not discuss this. What will be the consequences of becoming a metaphor machine terminal?" Li Xuan asked.

"Every time you listen to the oracle, it is a loss to your soul. The magical girl who becomes a prophecy machine will eventually burn herself out and turn into light and disappear into the world."

"This is too tragic. Such a beautiful girl is just treated as a consumable? What a waste of food," Li Xuan said regretfully.

"I think this is a great sacrifice. Our lives are exchanged for the hope of more people. If one day I need to go to that altar, I will sacrifice myself without hesitation. This is not only the passing of the torch, but also the continuation of will." Shen Liang said tragically.

"If everyone really thinks this way, why do you have to hide it from outsiders? In my opinion, it's better not to pass on this secret." Li Xuan shook his head and strode out of the room.

"Are we leaving? I can sense a powerful magical reaction approaching. The church should have taken action." Li Sijie came forward and said.

"There is one last thing." Li Xuan said, and teleported Li Sijie to the underground wall of the church where the seal was hidden.

"There is a hidden seal behind this wall. Can you unlock it?" Li Xuan asked.

"Could this be the location of the metaphor machine?" Li Sijie asked excitedly.

"Yes, the naked beautiful girl with tubes inserted all over her body is in there, but she is hidden by an invisible seal. Last time, it was the black cat's ability that made the seal materialize so that I could get in. But this time, I can only rely on you."

"That's really a match for your profession." Li Sijie said, putting her hand on the wall for a moment, then smiled:

"The sealer's skill is very high, it seems like the work of an old friend of mine. If you hadn't told me there was a seal here, I might not have noticed it."

"How is it? Can you untie it?"

"Of course." Li Sijie smiled and quickly drew a magic circle on the wall with her fingers. The hidden seal was immediately broken, revealing the room behind that contained the metaphor machine.

The two walked into the room and saw Jiesha still in the container, unaware of anything in the outside world.

But her expression seemed even more painful, and her body looked somewhat unreal, emitting some faint white light.

Thinking of Shen Liang's words, Li Xuan guessed that perhaps the frequent reception of oracles accelerated the depletion of her soul, leading to such a result.

“It’s unbelievable. If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I would have found it hard to imagine that the church would waste resources like this - if you don’t want it, you can give it to me. The president is really willing to give it away.” Li Sijie sighed.

"I want to save Jiesa, can you do it?" Li Xuan asked.

"Are you sure you care so much? She went in voluntarily."

"You even know this? Were you eavesdropping when I asked Shen Liang just now?" Li Xuan said, stretching out his claws to pinch Li Sijie's thigh, his five fingers deeply embedded in the plump thigh meat.

“Hehe, I’m discovered by you... I’m curious too. After all, I’ve also been targeted by the Yu Shi Machine, so naturally I want to know some intelligence.” Li Sijie said with a smile.

"If you want to know, just come in openly. Okay, let's not talk about this for now. I don't care whether she is willing or not, I have to get her out first, so that Yu Shiji won't mess with me every day." Li Xuan said, letting go of his hand.

"Let me give it a try. Very special magic props are used here. It might be a bit complicated." Li Sijie said as she carefully approached the container and began to try to analyze it.

This time she was very careful, but it only took her a few minutes to get the huge container down from the ceiling.

Jiesha, who lost her levitation, fell down suddenly. Li Sijie caught her with a barrier and gently put her into Li Xuan's arms.

Li Xuan only felt that the body in his hand was almost weightless. It was hard to imagine that this was a living person.

"Can these things be pulled off?" Li Xuan asked, pointing at the tubes on Jiesha's body.

"Just pull them out. These things were put in to fulfill the duties of the metaphor machine. She doesn't rely on them to live."

So Li Xuan pulled out the tubes and needles from Jiesha's body, and the latter slowly woke up.

"Are you okay?" Li Xuan asked softly.

Jiesha opened her eyes hazily and looked at Li Xuan. Her eyes were as dull as a puppet's, without any trace of the emotions that a human should have.

"Terminal status: Sleeping; Self-test in progress; Self-test completed: Vital signs are abnormal, life activities are about to end, please replace the terminal in time..." Jiesha muttered to herself, her voice mechanical and numb.

"Hey, hey, real? I just rescued you?"

"It hurts so much..." Jiesha suddenly frowned, her eyes showing pain, and her body turned into light, slowly dissipating in Li Xuan's arms.

"Doraemon, the beautiful girl is about to disappear! Hurry up and use your invincible sealing technique to think of a solution!" Li Xuan shouted hurriedly.

"It has been dissolved by light, so we have to seal it up for now."

Li Sijie hurriedly took out a pair of white stockings and waved them in the air like a ribbon, collecting the dissipated light into the socks, and then tied the sock opening tightly.

"How is it? Is there any way to recover?" Li Xuan asked.

"Her soul has been damaged too severely, so I can only collect it temporarily in this way. But her body is already dead. If I'm lucky, I might be able to keep her in the same state as Miss Cheng. I'll keep her with me for now, and give it a try when I have a chance." Li Sijie said, carefully putting away the stockings.

"That's all we have to do." Li Xuan nodded, opened the portal, and took Li Sijie and Cheng Xuan back to the evil land of illusion.

At this time, the other witches had not woken up yet, only Lilika and Alulu came out to greet them. Li Xuan took them all to the aquarium and found a room to sit down and rest.

"Thank you, Master and Miss Li, for what happened this time. You attacked the church for me, but I was offensive in my words. Please forgive me." Lilika brought snacks and placed them on the table. At this time, she was reunited with her mother and was naturally in a good mood. Her resentment towards Li Sijie had also dissipated.

"No, no, I am so sorry for offending you. I can't help but feel itchy when I see a beautiful woman. Please forgive me, sister." Li Sijie stood up and returned the greeting with a smile.

"This time, we have really offended the church. Attacking the church, holding a party in the church, and humiliating the S-class magical girl, any one of these is enough to make the church remember us for the rest of their lives." Li Xuan sighed as he picked up the teacup.

"So, what are your plans for the next step?" Li Sijie sat down with her legs crossed.

"I can't stay in Qinghe City anymore. The metaphor machine can mark your location, and it's only a matter of time before I'm marked out." Li Xuan took a small sip to moisten his throat, then put the cup down.

"That's right. My identity has been announced to the church by the metaphor machine, and I can't go to school anymore." Li Sijie sighed helplessly.

"It seems that we have to go to a place where the church can't reach. Ms. Lilika, do you have any suggestions?" Li Xuan asked.

Chapter 260 The Lost Land

"What advice can I give? Wherever you go, we mother and daughter will follow you." Lilika said, her eyes unconsciously looking at Alulu who was looking at the fish through the glass.

Suddenly, a huge octopus swam over and pounced on the glass wall. From Li Xuan's perspective, he could clearly see the powerful suction cups clinging tightly to the wall - it was the octopus monster that had the bead in its mouth.

"Wow! There are monsters in here!" Alulu was startled and quickly hid in Li Xuan's arms, putting his hand on her D cup to comfort her pounding heart.

Seeing Alulu being too intimate with Li Xuan, Lilika felt a little jealous for some reason. She quickly denied this thought in her mind: How ridiculous it is for a mother to be jealous of her daughter.

"You must know more about the church than I do. It's okay for you to tell me about it." Li Xuan stroked Alulu's head and said softly.

"The Church is the world's largest magical girl organization. How easy is it to avoid it? Among the twelve major countries in the world, only the northern part of the Golden Kingdom, the Star Kingdom across the ocean, and the Holy King Kingdom in the south are outside the Church's sphere of influence." Lilika replied.

"Oh? Is there anything special about these three places?"

"The first two are the headquarters of the two major magical girl organizations, 'Zhenshouguan' and 'Hunter', and the magical girl organizations in the Holy Kingdom are complicated, so the church has not had the opportunity to intervene for many years." Lilika explained.

"Sijie, where do you think we should go? I think the northern part of the Golden Kingdom is a good place. It's very close, and the writing system is universal. The only problem is that the climate is a bit drier."

"In my opinion, it is better to go to the Kingdom of the New Sun." Li Sijie murmured.

"The New Sun Kingdom Church is very powerful. How can we go there?" Lilika said worriedly.

“Although there is no church influence in the three places you mentioned, there are other magical girl organizations, which will not be much safer for us. Moreover, we are not going to the mainland of the New Sun Kingdom, but the Lost Land.” Li Sijie shook her head.

"That's too dangerous!" Lilika exclaimed.

"Because of this, the church can't find us easily. Besides, don't you think that kind of lawless place is very suitable for Mr. Li?" Li Sijie said with a smile.
