Su Zhikui's story is simply a tale of a pitiful girl who was constantly bullied during her childhood by creatures that can only be described as CS and scum.
This is the kind of story where Xunzi, after hearing it, would slap Mencius across the face and shout, "The theory of the inherent goodness of human nature is what filial sons say!"
Initially, it was merely malicious or amusing bullying and humiliation. However, once they realized that as long as they did what they did, as long as they hid and concealed it well enough, and added a little intimidation to this naturally timid and kind little girl, they could completely hide it, their behavior became increasingly daring.
What started as bullying for amusement gradually escalated into more unrestrained and unscrupulous bullying.
Insults and begging, taking pocket money away were commonplace, and they even gradually stopped restraining themselves in front of their elders.
When Ling Yuwei spoke of her awareness and perseverance, everyone could empathize with her, resonate with her strength and struggles, and feel her pain.
When Su Zhikui was telling her story, the other two magical girls couldn't even bear to put themselves in her shoes.
Before them lay a girl, her hands wrapped around her knees, in a dry well that was growing ever deeper, with no end in sight and no hope in sight, despairing and not daring to hope for salvation.
It wasn't the bright, radiant girl before me, the one who could empathize with others and was irresistibly endearing, but rather a gloomy little mushroom that could die at any moment, like something growing from damp ground, seemingly not belonging to this world.
However, Little Mushroom still has one hope: after going to university.
Exposing it is useless, because I can't cause trouble for my parents, nor can I embarrass my uncles and aunts.
Moreover, no one would believe that a child could harbor so much malice.
Therefore, Su Zhikui kept enduring, clinging to her last hope.
As long as I can endure until I go to university, and not to the same university as the other person, I will be free.
Harboring such a small dream, the gloomy little mushroom grows tenaciously with a strength beyond everyone's imagination.
Of course, everyone knows that this did not happen.
Because the girls are only middle school students now, and the college entrance examination is still two years away.
Therefore, the turning point comes from elsewhere.
Just when everyone was anxiously waiting for the turning point, and Ling Yuwei even had the urge to beat up Lin En, and Bai Lixia was wondering if she had misjudged him, the turning point that everyone had been waiting for and anticipating finally appeared.
"What did you say?!"
Ling Yuwei stared at the girl in front of her in shock, unable to believe that she could hear these words coming from Su Zhikui's mouth.
Because this was not the turning point Lynn had hoped for; in fact, it was quite the opposite.
That was the turning point for a girl named Su Zhikui, who almost lost her chance to become a magical girl forever.
"Yes, that's what I thought, and I even took action..."
Su Zhikui simply nodded, but her tone was indifferent, as if she were a complete stranger to the two magical girls.
The girl will never forget that day.
For everyone else, that day was just an ordinary family dinner.
Two families who have known each other for many years, and four old friends who have spent more than a decade together, raise their glasses in celebration.
"That person" wasn't home, but Su Zhikui was there to keep him company.
However, perhaps the uncle and aunt were having too much fun and were a little too engrossed in drinking, so they said to their parents, "If only we could have a daughter-in-law as lovely as Xiao Kui."
It was a joke, and anyone could see that. However, Su Zhikui noticed a detail: her mother, who loved her the most, was not laughing, but instead frowning and hesitating.
If this wasn't a joke, then Su Zhikui probably wouldn't have taken it to heart, because it was a sign of her mother's love and reluctance to part with her daughter.
However, when the other person knows it's a joke, but someone doesn't laugh, it can only prove one thing: that person is taking it seriously and is thinking about it.
Mom is genuinely considering whether or not to entrust her future to "that person".
The thought that the "going to university" opportunity he had been hoping for, the chance to be redeemed, could not save him was also a mistake.
My future may forever be in that person's control, and I will never be able to escape it.
A terrible thought arose in her mind: magical girls should never, ever exist.
"I'm thinking, maybe I should just kill him."
The girl spoke in a chillingly calm tone, uttering terrifying words that seemed like they would never have come out of her mouth.
At that very moment, none of the three people present noticed that the rainbow magic stone she had placed in her cute little handbag was suddenly covered with a faint black light.
On the other side of the woods, a kingfisher that was sharpening its beak and claws on a tree trunk suddenly raised its head, its black beady eyes shining brightly:
"This feeling, there's no mistake, absolutely no mistake, it's the moment of darkness, the opportunity to turn to the dark side! Now is the time for me to prove my worth!!!"
Like an arrow released from a bow, the kingfisher swept across the forest, its speed so great that it became a streak of blue light.
Meanwhile, the girls' storytelling session was reaching its most crucial moment.
"Xiao Kui, you're kidding, right?"
Ling Yuwei was dumbfounded.
"You...you're just thinking about it, right? You're really planning to take action?"
Bai Lixia simply sipped her tea silently, remaining completely silent.
As a seasoned magical girl, she knew it.
That is, if a girl's hands are truly stained with human blood, no matter the reason or how great her talent, she will no longer be qualified to become a magical girl.
Isn't that very unfair?
Unfortunately, there are many unfair things in the world.
For example, Su Zhikui's experience.
"I'm sorry, Xiaowei,"
However, the girl just smiled apologetically.
“I really thought that way, and I even did it.”
Unfortunately, because she was bullied by "that person" for a long time, Su Zhikui was a cowardly child. Therefore, she did not dare to actually use a knife or gun against her bully and die together with him.
However, she was also lucky.
Just before this despairing dinner party, as she passed under a tree near her house, she heard a strange, bird-like whisper, a voice complaining:
"Strange, will a new magical girl be born in this nearby shopping mall tomorrow? What kind of strange prophecy is this? There are so many people in the mall every day, what am I supposed to do?"
At first, Su Zhikui didn't pay attention, but at this moment, she suddenly realized something, as if she had grasped a lifeline.
That is, wherever there are magical girls, there will be weirdos.
And where there are strange people, is there bound to be destruction?
The war between magical girls and monsters is no child's play.
Every year, every hour, even every moment in this world, people are injured or killed because of this extraordinary war.
So, wouldn't it be normal for there to be one or two more people tomorrow?
And so, the cowardly, gloomy little mushroom launched what was not the first, but certainly the most dangerous, act of rebellion in her life.
She chose to invite Lynn to the shopping mall where the supernatural war would definitely take place on the day that a war between monsters and magical girls would definitely occur, in the name of her parents.
Perhaps, by taking advantage of the aftermath of the extraordinary war, Su Zhikui can find her own redemption, or at the very least... liberation.
And things turned out exactly as she expected.
In order to maintain her image as a good child, Lynn had no choice but to go to Su's house despite her suspicions when she heard that it was Su's parents who made the request.
After the two had been shopping in the mall for a while, the strange man really did appear.
However, they didn't seem to be there to cause destruction; rather, they were hunting down something.
It was a streak of blue light that moved rapidly throughout the mall. The strange people, in their pursuit of the blue light, did not hesitate to begin causing destruction.
Surprisingly, however, it was different from what the voice said.
On this day, without magical girls, it was as if those things didn't exist.
From the start of the attack until the monster actually began causing destruction and killing in the mall, quite some time passed without any magical girl appearing.
Although the police arrived later, they were no match for the strange man.
Just as the two sides were at an impasse, an unexpected incident occurred.
One of the attackers was carrying explosives!
The moment the police sniper spotted the explosive device, he decisively abandoned his concealment and the opportunity to find the leader of the monsters. He opened fire to try to stop the monster holding the explosive device, but instead, the monster, who had only wanted to show off, accidentally pressed the detonation button due to his injuries and fear.
Instantly, a terrifying explosion and flames erupted inside the mall!
Thanks to its reliable design and the use of high-quality materials, the mall's overall structure withstood the impact of the explosives.
However, some walls and parts of the floor on the upper floors that were directly impacted by the explosion inevitably suffered damage and detachment.
In a dark storage room directly beneath the floor, "that person" and Su Zhikui were taking refuge.
At that time, "that person" surprisingly did not complain or insult Su Zhikui. Instead, he went crazy and kept banging his head against the wall. He was not only venting his despair and anger, but also seemed to be having a dialogue with himself. Unfortunately, Su Zhikui, who was already numb at the time, did not hear him clearly.
She even thought in despair that this place seemed too safe, that nothing unexpected would happen, and that her plan had undoubtedly failed.
Perhaps this is a joke played by the gods on themselves.
A person with malicious intent will never succeed in anything.
But then, in the next instant, the ceiling exploded!
Reinforced concrete, mixed with incredibly solid floor and ceiling stone, crashed down from above. The cold incandescent lights in the mall emitted light that pierced through the cracks in the stone slabs and steel bars, casting a merciful and holy light into the dark storage room, like a divine angel descending before the dying.
Unlike the despairing "that person," Su Zhikui, who had been silently weeping in the face of certain death, actually smiled. She thought that the gods must have heard her prayers; this was neither the work of a strange person nor a coincidence.
Instead, it is the angels of kindness, compassion, and justice standing atop the dome, hurling the sword of Damocles—the sword of judgment—at the wicked who deserve to die and go to hell!
In such a cramped storage room with a collapsed ceiling, there was no room to escape and no chance of survival!
That person deserves to die. He's a hidden demon. Even if he lives, he'll only be a freak who will eventually fall into depravity, a scumbag who causes pain.
And I, I deserve to die too!
One who has entertained the thought of killing should not be a being capable of salvation.
This is what a just and righteous God is like!
The girl raised her head and gladly faced death.
And at that moment, a roar as powerful as thunder reverberated throughout her entire world.
"What are you doing?!"
The voice was familiar, but it carried a tone she believed that guy would never utter.
It was the same anger, but it contained emotions she had never experienced or felt from that person before.
Then, Su Zhikui's perspective shifted.
At the critical moment, Lynn, who was originally just as desperate as if he had a split personality, suddenly rushed over. He grabbed Su Zhikui in his arms and knocked her to the ground. At the same time, he pulled down the nearest shelf and smashed it on his body, blocking the strongest and most ferocious impact of the falling ceiling.
He used all his strength to try and give the two of them a chance to live.
And then, a miracle happened!
When the collapse was over, Su Zhikui opened her eyes and was surprised to find that neither of them had died.
The collapsing shelves somehow formed a delicate triangular structure that protected the two people and blocked most of the impact.
The remaining impact was almost entirely absorbed by the "padded skin" on her body, leaving Su Zhikui completely unharmed except for some minor scratches and abrasions!
However, a twisted steel bar, carrying an irresistible and immense force, fell from a great height like a sword from a god to nail a demon, passing through the gap in the shelf, piercing Lynn's shoulder, and then embedding itself hard in the floor, pinning Lynn to the ground.
At that moment, the girl froze, struggling to lift her head to look at the boy who had protected her unharmed.
The cold incandescent light descended through the gap, bathing the boy who was struggling to support the safety zone with his body. Blood gushed out, flowing from the bruise on his forehead and the horrific wound on his shoulder, staining half of his body red.
Half of his body was scarlet, while the other half was bathed in white light, as if divinity and demonic nature coexisted in one body.
"What the hell... you idiot!"
After baring his teeth and uttering a final, utterly rude, impolite, and even malicious curse at himself, Lynn immediately fainted due to pain and blood loss.
However, after recovering from the shock, the girl couldn't help but hug the head that was limply hanging in her arms, and tentatively brought her ear close to his mouth, which was still opening and closing even though he was unconscious.
Even while she was unconscious, she still heard the person in her arms say something incredibly rude:
"Idiot, idiot... Holy crap, you're such an idiot... idiot... fuck you, I'm going to... I want... TD..."
"Ha, hahaha, 6 one enterprise billion Ersi Sibo hahaha..."
