To put it bluntly, faced with a magical girl who is more powerful than themselves, has more diverse means, and can easily use magic to monitor, these ants who are powerless to save the world can only have twisted and dark speculations and fears in their hearts.

Including this hidden space created by a certain magical girl and secretly established with the leaders of the Dark Mace Garden, it was not finally used by them until she died in the battle with the fallen demon.

Therefore, every time he traveled to another space in a special elevator, he would feel as if he was entering the body of a giant beast along the remains of the beast, and once again clearly realized that he was just an ant.

In the face of an absolute disparity in strength, no amount of goodwill can stop the fear of losing one's life itself.

Therefore, it is destined that ants and dragons cannot coexist peacefully. Only when the strength of both sides is equal can they achieve equality through true checks and balances.

This time, it was not the original elevator door that opened, but the entire metal wall behind him became illusory, as if it were melting glass, revealing the brightly lit space behind it.

"Ah, here I come. I didn't expect you guys here to be so quick, Duncan."

Moreover, it seemed that other people had arrived before him, which made Duncan turn his head and look at Rebecca who was sitting next to the table in the hall.

The other person's originally golden waves have become much duller and look crooked as a whole. In many places, there are traces of being suddenly cut off, making the beautiful long hair that should bring a sense of elegance and sophistication look like a dangerous wall with leaks everywhere, completely losing its former beauty.

Her suit, which was so slim-fitting that it perfectly highlighted the voluptuous figure of a mature woman, also became tattered, with many black holes that looked like they had been burned by sparks.

The once delicate and fair skin revealed from beneath the clothes is now completely covered by dust, making the mature figure that makes young men throb look particularly miserable.

However, her pretty face, which seemed to have been barely wiped and was therefore much cleaner, did not reveal any sadness or sorrow, as if the injuries on her body had not caused her any trouble at all, completely eliminating the pitiful weakness that should have appeared on her.

"It seems that the situation over there is not too good."

Duncan couldn't help but speak as he watched the other person's entire left arm sleeve disappear, turning his suit into a half sleeveless vest, revealing the arm wrapped in layers of bandages.

"It's just that the part below the forearm was completely blown off. We can either get a robotic arm later, or ask a wealthy magical girl to heal it with a wish."

Rebecca waved with her other intact arm and spoke in a relaxed tone.

"Don't look at me like this. I just came an hour or two earlier than you, so I didn't have time to wipe my face. Actually, the injury is not serious."

"You, on the other hand, look so neat and tidy. Did you take a shower before coming here?"

"Not really. I came here straight after I got off the plane. It's just that we have Ophelia here, so it's relatively easy."

He sat down in the chair across from Rebecca and sighed slowly.

"After I'm done here, I'll go back and take some kidney-tonifying medicine and get a good night's sleep."

"Kidney-tonifying medicine?"

Rebecca couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then seemed to realize something. That mature and pretty face that was quite lethal to adolescent boys also revealed a hint of teasing.

"Good fellow, you usually act like a tough muscular man, but you're so fierce in private. Which girl is so fierce that can make your waist and legs ache? It can't be a girl who has fallen into evil, right?"

Her words also made Duncan's eyes carry a sense of oppression, and he spoke expressionlessly.

"If you have time, you should think more about your own marriage, Ms. Rebecca. Although you still have your charm, you will probably age and lose your beauty in a few years. It is better to arrange it as soon as possible."

"Are you looking for death? If you have the guts, wait until I'm better and find a place for us to practice and see if I'm really old and ugly!?"

Rebecca suddenly shouted angrily, and subconsciously tried to roll up her sleeves, only to find that one of her hands was no longer usable. She could only bite the sleeve with her teeth to reveal her dusty arm.

“Aging and violence are not the same thing”

Duncan sighed and decided not to continue poking the older single woman in the back about this issue, so he changed the subject.

"It's just that my healing is somewhat special. Ji Hui's ability also causes forced hydrogen emission during the healing process. Therefore, although I recovered from the near-death state, I also lost a lot of energy."

"Theoretically, it's not life-threatening, but considering I'll be working day and night, I'd better eat more supplements to avoid being physically and mentally weak."

"That extraterritorial demon..."

Rebecca's expression became more serious when he mentioned the name, and she murmured softly.

"To be honest, when we were attacked, I actually thought that you would be the last to arrive, or even not get here."

"I can only say that having Ophelia along is something we're truly blessed to have. Of course, Ji Hui and his partner also provided considerable help. It could even be said that their importance is no less than that of Ophelia."

Duncan shook his head slightly and asked.

"So, how many responsible people are left who can come here tonight?"

Chapter 387 Attack Report:

Since they were all in their respective areas of responsibility before the meeting, although the contacts between the leaders had never been broken, relatively speaking, there were still differences in the degree of interaction due to the proximity of the areas.

In addition, they came to the first district from various areas, so not everyone could report and communicate on the movements at all times.

"Tonight, it should be just the two of us. Sha Hongyi is expected to arrive tomorrow at noon, and Luo Lao will be two days later. As for Cavill, Kawauchi Sae, and the other four, there's still no news."

Obviously, she did not do nothing during the two hours she stayed here, but was closely following the movements of other responsible persons.

"Of course, this is what they said tonight. If something unexpected happens along the way, it will be hard to say."

Rebecca said this calmly, without showing any sadness or regret.

After all, she believed that even if she was the one who encountered misfortune or lost contact, others would not wail and cry about it.

They are used to the occasional reduction in staff.

That is why they are more concerned about information about the enemy than when they will die.

"The news about the missing people is still unclear, but at least the reports about the four of us have come out."

She took out the documents from under her desk and slid them in front of Duncan with a gentle movement of her fingers.

Duncan gently patted the five dusty fingerprints on it, opened it and looked at it carefully.

"Just as we thought before, during the attack by the Fallen Daughter on the person in charge of the Dark Mace Garden, a considerable number of former magical girls appeared."

"They were implanted with something, or mentally tortured and transformed, turning into the mad, fallen women they are today. Some still retain some of their original memories, while others are left with only mad thoughts, unable to do anything except destroy everything."

"I'm afraid the methods the Fallen Daughter used against them were also different, which is why there is such a difference in degree."

"But another point is that we've discovered that these brainwashed Fallen Evil Daughters aren't connected to the Shattered Star Palace's wishing mechanism. The real Fallen Evil Daughters seem to be using them as consumables. I'm afraid that for them, the increase in these Fallen Evil Daughters who can also make wishes to the Shattered Star Palace will in turn increase their aggression and squeeze out their original welfare space."

"As for more details, we'll have to wait for further research. We've also successfully knocked out some of the transformed magical girls. They're currently being held captive in the Starfall City laboratory. We're trying to break their brainwashing or restore them to their pre-torture state."

"Even if we can't make them magical girls again, losing their powers and returning to the lives of ordinary people who know nothing is also a good thing for them."

Rebecca's tone was a little heavy. After that meeting, she also took charge of some matters related to dealing with brainwashed magical girls.

Because of this, she also witnessed the madness of many evil women.

He deliberately let the magical girl destroy her hometown, and even let the magical girl return to her parents first, then let them watch their daughter destroy the world with their own eyes, and finally killed them.

After all those things, even though they finally eliminated the Fallen Daughter, they did not feel relieved at all, and they just wanted to kill them all.

Duncan nodded slightly and responded.

"I'll arrange for some of my researchers to assist. When it comes to researching more dangerous subjects like the Fallen Daughter and the Outer Realm Demon, my team is more experienced and should be able to provide a lot of help."

"After all, those fallen women are a bunch of lunatics. It's not impossible that they've planted some hidden bomb in their bodies, waiting to be detonated while we're treating them. We must take appropriate protective measures."

"While I do appreciate it, is everything okay on your end?"

Rebecca showed a hint of hesitation on her face and asked with some concern.

"After all, I'm fine here. The main content of this meeting is still on your side."

"As for this, you can rest assured. We have already achieved a lot of results, so there will be no big problem in dealing with it." Wu

"If I have to say, I'm actually more worried about Starfall City."

Duncan paused for a moment before he slowly spoke.

"Ji Hui's existence is an unacceptable shock to many people in this city who hold a strong hatred for the extraterritorial demons. Whether he can integrate with us or become our enemy depends on his experiences during this period."

"We can't change everyone's thoughts, and we can't force Ji Hui to accept or reject the hatred."

"But you still brought him along. Doesn't that mean you still trust him, old fox?"

Rebecca sighed and let Duncan shake his head slightly.

"I just think that resolving things as soon as possible before they become irreversible can help avoid further trouble."

"I don't want this kind of thing to worsen our already difficult situation with the Broken Star Palace. Unfortunately, others think the same way."

"Then you probably have to pray that Cavill, who is the most reluctant to accept your point of view, dies halfway through, otherwise you will still have to argue in the meeting."

Her words silenced Duncan, who then shook his head again.

"No, you're wrong."

"He and I do have significant differences, and we've argued many times. However, I never, and will never, wish for him to die while he's also desperately trying to save more innocent people."

"I'm not so low as to wish death on such a person because of a personal vendetta, not even on him."

"Really? Then I said something wrong."

Rebecca shrugged and agreed with Duncan's words.

"However, whether he can make it to this point is still unknown. After all, this magical girl's invasion is indeed much more fierce than before. I'm afraid it is because of the arrival of that extraterritorial demon."

"Regardless of whether there are any, as long as they can attack and eliminate the leaders of their respective groups who hold different opinions, the members below will also fall into disputes and chaos. This is indeed in line with the ideas of these lunatics."

“Destruction is always easier than construction. Instead of dwelling on it, it’s better to protect everything we have now.”

After responding, Duncan closed the report again.

"Tonight, we'll have to take charge. If you can't hold on, remember to let me know."

"Oh, who are you looking down on? I can outwork you with just one hand, you weak-kneed kid."

Chapter 388 Pilot Area

Unlike the two persons in charge who were talking in the secret space, although he knew that he did not come to the First District for tourism, the fact that it was different from ordinary cities and the urban scene with a sci-fi color still made Ji Hui look at the outside world with a hint of surprise.

In fact, it was not just him. Mi Lulu and Yu Mingxue were also leaning on the windows, looking at the high-rise buildings emitting fluorescent light and displaying various messages outside the vehicles speeding on the tracks extending to various areas.

Although Duncan said that this is just a heavy office area and not a tourist attraction, the technology is more advanced than other cities and the design is closely related to the life of magical girls. They themselves have an extraordinary beauty that makes people dazzled.

"Because the first district doesn't have to worry about keeping secrets from ordinary people, the lives of magical girls can be more visible. Various facilities are also specially designed so that they don't have to be completely suppressed like ordinary people."

"Of course, there are quite a few ordinary people in Anjianyuan, so the light rail and other means of transportation are also running together, so it looks a little messy."

While driving, Sean was also introducing them to the situation of Starfall City.

"Although we have taken every possible measure into consideration, the needs often vary, so we have to go through several renovations. Even now, the Planning Bureau has begun to work on new road plans to address some newly discovered problems."

Looking at the floating traffic lights in the sky outside the window, and some magical girls gathered in mid-air, chatting and waiting to pass, Ji Hui couldn't help but nodded slightly.

"Well, it's true. After all, magical girls are somewhat different from ordinary people."

It wasn't very clear when I was on the plane, but if I look closely now, I can see that the signs and guide symbols projected between the buildings do look a bit messy and overly bright.

Especially Chizuru Hazen, she could basically guess the purpose of those facilities added between the buildings specifically for magical girls.

However, for her who is in a semi-retired state, those things that seem to be provided for women who transform into magical girls 24 hours a day still make her involuntarily think, "Is it really necessary to do all this?"

Therefore, when she discovered that even some restaurants and cafeterias were built in the sky using suspended devices, she frowned slightly, and there was a hint of worry in her tone.

"But, although it's certainly not bad, won't this backfire and make some of the magical girls forget about their ordinary lives?"

As a shrine maiden, she has been taking care of Kana Hazen on her own. Her lifestyle is no different from that of ordinary people, and she does not want to use the power of magical girls to gain privileges for herself. This is part of the reason why she initially alienated the magical girl group.

Because of this, she felt an inexplicable sense of awkwardness towards those things that clearly seemed to indicate that she was different from ordinary people.

"Miss Yuzen's words do make sense."

The person who answered her question was Zhu Yiyi who was sitting next to her.

"However, while this is acceptable for keeping it secret from the public, we believe it's unfair to magical girls to suppress their magical side in a city where they can freely live as magical girls just to avoid forgetting their roots."

"After all, we ordinary people can't just run off to the mountains and wilderness to survive just because we can't forget how hard our happy lives are to come by, right?"

Chizuru Hazen nodded hesitantly, and she also revealed a faint smile.

"Of course, we can't say that this situation is completely unavoidable, but it's generally within the deviation range we originally predicted. We will also conduct regular assessments, so please rest assured and don't hold any grudges."

Seeing that the atmosphere in the car seemed a little serious, Sean glanced at the rearview mirror and said something comforting.

"Miss Zhu is right. What's more, this is a pilot project in itself."

"The frequency of the Star-Breaking Palace's attacks is difficult to pin down, and the demarcation of the area is subject to change. In the future, the presence of magical girls and the Dark Mace Garden will only become more and more apparent. How to integrate ordinary people with magical girls is also a key task we are considering."

"We can't allow heroes who saved the world and wielded immense power to be bullied and restricted by the weak through moral coercion, nor can we allow ordinary people to become divided and lead to internal strife and conflict due to disparities. Therefore, Starfall City itself serves as a testing ground for Dark Mace Garden to explore and refine this relationship."

"Miss Yuzen, if you have the chance, you can experience more of this place. It would be great if you could give us some advice as first-timers."

"Hey, you're obviously my senior, why are you acting like I'm older than you?"

As if she was dissatisfied with Sean's address, Zhu Yiyi said with some annoyance.

"That's just a common honorific."
