Is it only magical girls?

Of course, there are even stranger things. There isn't a single photo here. Although there are no photos, Yuanxing can still deduce some things from the handwriting and content. For example, there is a speech manuscript like this.

The reporter asked: "As a magical girl, you have to fight every day. Isn't it very tiring? Especially since you are younger than all of us here, are you ever exhausted and frustrated to the point of wanting to cry?"

That's a really stupid question. In that apocalyptic era, as the beacon of hope that everyone was watching, you can't exactly tell her that she wanted to retire every day, can you?

So the magical girl said: How could that be? I feel very happy every day. As a magical girl and a hero, being able to help and protect everyone makes me incredibly happy. If possible, I hope to be a magical girl for the rest of my life.

Having finished her sightseeing tour of the Magic Tower, Yuanxing planned to return to MoMoMo. After all, as an assassin hired to help her employer eliminate political enemies, she naturally needed to communicate well with her employer before taking action to ensure that the mission would not go wrong.

Miss Hongshi couldn't understand: "Why are you assassins?"

"that's not important."

"Why are you pulling at my clothes, Uncle Liu's skirt? Are you saying I'm a politician and Anlian is a political enemy?"

"That's not important."

Miyou said, "Sister Hongshi is not satisfied with the assassin setting. I still prefer the terrorist setting, and directly use the magic amulet to blow up the entire magic tower."

Ye Liu asked in surprise, "How did it become the entire magic tower?! Didn't you say it was the top of the tower?!"

People always seek compromise. Yuanxing said she was an assassin, and Hong disagreed. But Miyou said she was a terrorist, so Hong Shi thought the assassin Yuanxing described was an excellent choice, and the plan was particularly brilliant.

“I think the assassin is great, and your plan is excellent.” Hong Shikai even clapped his hands: “A very good suggestion. It can quickly strike at Anlian’s arrogance without damaging the magic tower. It’s like a successful minimally invasive surgery. I congratulate you in advance on the successful operation.”

"Thank you. I also brought back a gift for Sister Hong Shi from my trip to the Magic Tower."

The gift from the distant star was a red triangular cup with three fire phoenixes standing on the ground, their tail feathers raised high and intertwined to form a cup. It was a cup that looked too gorgeous and somewhat gaudy.

“Hehehe,” Hongshi was very happy with the gift: “I never thought that something I had lost would come back to me in the form of something like this.”

"Did Sister Hongshi have a cup like this before? When did she lose it? Was it a gift from someone? Did you post a lost and found notice?"

"The Phoenix Cup, made of crimson gold, with the Phoenix Eye inlaid with the Philosopher's Stone, is something that ancient alchemists could only dream of, but for the magical girl, it's merely material to make a cup. Because of this cup, the alchemists had nothing more to say and obediently joined Paradise like children. The original version of this cup was the one I sent to the Magic Tower for exhibition; it was originally mine, which is why I said it returned to me."

Yuanxing countered, "Then it wasn't lost, was it? After all, it was you, Sister Hongshi, who gave it to them."

"Seriously, do I have to spell it out? What I lost wasn't this water glass, it was my life."

Hong Shi raised his hand and tapped Yuan Xing's forehead: "You're always so unreliable at crucial moments. I really like your gift; it makes me feel like time, which had been stagnant for so long, has started to turn again."

"I'm glad Sister Hongshi likes it."

This answer left Hong Shi somewhat at a loss. She looked at the other members of the Far Star Team: "It seems that Yuan Xiaoxing doesn't have anything to ask. What about you? Don't you have anything to ask either?"

The Farstar team looked at each other, then chose Farstar as their representative to ask, "What do you want to ask?"

"Didn't you go to see the magic tower? You should know that I was the first magical girl, so don't you have any questions?"

"No?" Yuanxing tilted her head in confusion: "After all, Sister Hongshi is Sister Hongshi."

Hongshi had prepared many things to say, but now she realized that those words had become meaningless. At this moment, she could only respond with a smile; any other words would be superfluous.

The only thing she was certain of was that she was right; the life she had once lost had come back to her.

"What would you like to eat? It's on me."

"Let me think about it."

Yuanxing started looking through Momomo's menu, trying to choose the dessert she wanted to eat today.

"What I mean is, anything is fine, even if it's not in the Demon Realm, or even outside. After all, I'm the employer, and you're the assassins. The assassins need to be well-fed so they can have a good time on their way."

Yuanxing said bluntly, "Then I want to eat the expensive stuff." Then she realized, "Wait a minute, Sister Hongshi, isn't saying this is too unlucky for an assassin?!"

Chapter 86 It's useless to personally take the lead; harming others is worth ten times more.

The park's manager, a former hero who saved the world, has transformed into a dragon slayer. A wonderful day begins in the morning and reaches its peak then.

Because she received a letter containing a photo of Hong Shiqin on Yuanxing's cheek, with only the location listed, which was undoubtedly a duel invitation.

“Hahahaha,” Anlian burst into a series of maniacal laughs as she held the letter: “A declaration of war! Hahaha, I knew you couldn’t ignore me forever. The war game has begun. Then you will soon understand how hopeless the world is without me, and then deeply regret it, after all, we spent so many happy times together.”

Anlian immediately set off for the magic tower.

When she was still some distance from the magic tower, she saw Yuanxing's figure. Without thinking, she fell from the sky and landed in front of Yuanxing. Almost the instant she landed, Yuanxing exploded, and countless magical amulets surged from his body, directly hitting Anlian and exploding one after another.

However, Anlian activated her protective magic at the critical moment, completely blocking the explosion and escaping unharmed from the trap created by the magical amulet.

But this was just the beginning. All the traps set on the top of the tower were activated by the magic amulet. Hundreds of different snake-shaped watchtowers were triggered, with colors of gold, gray, blue, silver, yellow, and green corresponding to effects such as petrification, freezing, magic removal, slime, and poison. These traps were clearly well thought out.

"Hahaha, how could such a childish trap possibly fool me?"

Anlian felt that Yuanxing, who created this trap, was really a child. She only needed to use teleportation slightly to avoid being hit by these obstructing spells.

However, the space was not easily broken open as Anlian had expected. Instead, because she tried to break through the space, more than a dozen chains extended from the void and firmly fixed her in this space.

"Kong Er Yi Wu Jiu Lu Shan, Er Jian Suo? Interesting."

Anlian swayed slightly, and the spatial locks shattered like tofu. All the spatial locks hindered her for a second, but that second was enough for her to be hit by those obstruction spells. Even though Anlian's resistance to obstruction spells was at the highest level, facing so many obstruction spells still caused her to have many different colored negative effects. However, as the light on her body flashed, all the effects of these obstruction spells disappeared.

Just as she dispelled the obstructing magic, a golden light roared down upon her, and starlight burst forth before her eyes. In that brief moment, there was no time to cast protective magic; she had no choice but to withstand the magic cannon attack head-on.

Under the bombardment of the magic cannon, Anlian flew out and rolled several times on the ground. Her cute Lolita outfit became tattered and covered in dust due to the combined effects of the magic cannon and rolling.

But Anlian quickly stood up again, waiting for the next attack. Unfortunately, she didn't get one. She opened her eyes with a slight disappointment: "That's it? I thought you guys would continue attacking. You underestimated me. You're really too green."

"I didn't underestimate you; I just want to have a fair and square competition with you."

Eh?

After launching a series of traps to attack someone, how can you expect to have a fair and square contest?

Her companions looked at Yuanxing in confusion, trying to confirm whether the words she had just spoken really came from her mouth.

Anlian was also puzzled: "After attacking me with a trap?"

Ling Ling replied instantly: "You've lived a hundred years more foolishly than Yuanxing."

Ling Ling has a natural talent for provoking her opponents and keeping them on edge, and she attacks with incredible speed, almost instinctively.

"What a sharp-tongued wild girl! I hope you'll still be this sharp-tongued even after your mouth gets swollen from being hit!"

Anlian instantly teleported in front of Lingling, gathering magic power in her palm and slamming it towards her face. The strike was blocked by a small protective shield. At the same time, Lingling struck Anlian, casting a protective barrier around her. It was a type of barrier that could automatically and randomly change the properties of magic projectiles, but the cost was a relatively high magic power consumption. For a magical girl, it was a bit high, consuming a significant portion of her maximum magic power and hindering her ability to cast spells. For a mage, it was extremely high, especially since maintaining this barrier required magic power.

Anlian couldn't hire Lingling at all. She immediately used purification to break the barrier surrounding her. Within a few breaths, she felt a sudden weakness, an discomfort caused by the rapid depletion of her magic power. Even while enveloped in this discomfort, she sensed a golden bullet hurtling towards her, which she dodged with a slight tilt of her head. Several more bullets followed, but these didn't even require dodging; they simply couldn't hit her.

These bullets were naturally decoy rounds fired by Miyou, but unfortunately, none of them hit their mark; they all missed.

"His spell power is alright, but his accuracy is terrible. He can only hit large monsters."

Miyu was indignant. "Aren't magical girls supposed to fight monsters? Isn't it normal that they can't hit people?!"

A fist enveloped in lightning flashed before An Lian's eyes and struck straight at her. No, it should be a fist made of lightning.

The attacker was Ye Liu, who was practicing elemental magic. His punches were powerful, his movements were agile, and his moves were swift, showing that he had put some effort into his fighting skills.

Martial arts skills require years of honing to achieve victory; for magical girls, it's the slowest and most straightforward form of combat, requiring unwavering dedication from the most stubborn and foolish. But that's for girls. For Anlian, martial arts is a pastime, a pastime she can't afford to be mediocre at. In a battle of wits, she instantly turned the tables and suppressed Yoru.

"However, magical girls are not martial arts masters, so their fighting style needs to be more imaginative."

An Lian leaped back, her right arm transforming into a lightning element arm in the blink of an eye. The entire arm spun like a whip, lashing down at Ye Liu and completely suppressing him. Immediately, the magic cannon roared in, and An Lian retreated, but her lightning element arm remained in place, forming a separate lightning element hand. This hand flew straight towards Qing Yin, flicking her forehead.

One person was lost.

Qingyin's eyes widened: What?! I've been laid off?! How did I get laid off?!

While Qingyin was still confused, she was grabbed and run downstairs. All the traps set on the top of the tower were gone, and more traps were needed to continue the fight and win. Fortunately, they had prepared in advance and set up more traps on the top floor.

After the magic cannon's effects ended, Anlian found that there was no one left at the top of the tower, only the iron gate leading to the tower entrance was still swaying.

"A fair and square contest?" An Lian laughed: "Forget it, we have to go through the main road before we can have a proper showdown."

Anlian stepped inside and walked up the stairs to the top of the Magic Tower. The first thing she saw was a sign on the elevator that said it was being cleaned. Clearly, the girls were using this method to disperse the tourists on the top floor.

"Quite smart."

Then she saw Hong Shi's photo around the corner—a picture of her in casual clothes pasted on the wall. It was undoubtedly a trap, but An Lian wasn't too bothered. She knew how to handle any trap, and confidently took the photo down.

Behind the photo is a red eye enclosed by a full moon, which is the symbolic totem of the Moon Locust Tree.

This totem only reminded her of the happy times she and Crimson World spent saving the world together, but even more so of the angry memories of being harassed by the trash. It was supposed to be her day off, and she wanted to ask Crimson World out shopping, but as soon as she arrived at the door, she was harassed by the trash. She spent the entire day battling the trash in the wilderness, and then Crimson World misunderstood that they were close friends and practicing together during their holiday.

Liu Yiqi Yi Ersi Baha?

No matter how many years have passed, it still feels like a stain on my life whenever I think about it.

Suddenly hearing footsteps beside her, An Lian turned around and saw Yue Huai standing right behind her. "Didn't I tell you to get out of my city? And I said I wouldn't let you off so easily next time we meet?"

Instead of getting out, he shamelessly appeared in front of her, spying on her world. Naturally, it would be proper to risk his life here.

"Transformation."

Flowers grew, bloomed, and withered around Anlian, their petals clinging to her body, forming an ancient court dress with a white background and many small red flowers. Behind Anlian were a large number of floating magic wands that resembled eyes. These wands shot out beams of laser light according to Anlian's will, and the lasers merged in mid-air to form a bombardment comparable to a magic cannon.

Yuehuai raised her hands and crossed them in front of her to cast a protective spell: "Invincible Shield!"

Even under the protective shield, Yuehuai herself was unharmed, but she was still sent flying backwards. However, she turned and ran without any hesitation.

Yuanxing wasn't quite sure why things had turned out this way.

She had previously planned to put a picture of Sister Hong Shi on the wall, so that when An Lian came down and saw the picture, she would temporarily stop the pursuit in order to collect it, which was the so-called throwing out treasure to hinder the enemy's actions.

The plan went even more smoothly than she had imagined, because Anlian stopped in her tracks after seeing the photo.

But the plan went much more smoothly than she had imagined. Even after they regrouped, they didn't notice Anlian chasing after them. Yuanxing thought Anlian might have had something else to do and had retreated, so she turned back. Unexpectedly, as soon as she returned, Anlian started speaking in a language she couldn't understand, and then transformed into a magical old woman, launching a super-fast and super-powerful attack aimed at killing her.

Yuanxing felt that the turn of events was somewhat beyond her expectations. Their previous battle was essentially a discussion; after all, the magical girls felt that it was better to talk things out using magic than to sit down and exchange words, and the old woman clearly felt the same way. Anlian obviously agreed as well, but now it was no longer just a discussion. Why did such a change occur just by going down one flight of stairs? What exactly happened in that short time?

"Retreat! Retreat!"

Upon hearing Yuanxing's call, the teammates broke free from their ambush and rushed towards the evacuation point with Yuanxing.

The reason for the retreat was simply that Anlian had transformed into a magical girl. They had initially assumed there was some unspoken agreement between them, but it seemed there was none at all. Anlian hadn't considered this part of the negotiation, otherwise she wouldn't have transformed into a magical girl. But it didn't matter; they had anticipated this situation and had pre-set an evacuation point. Once they reached the evacuation point, they could use the pre-set teleportation array to leave the magic tower.

But when they arrived at the evacuation point, something unexpected happened: the magic circle that had been inscribed at the evacuation point had disappeared.

Miyou hurriedly asked, "Isn't this the evacuation point? We've gone the wrong way. Is the evacuation point somewhere else?"

"No, there are still some traces here; the evacuation point has been destroyed."

Yuanxing now understood what Anlian had said earlier. Clearly, those who sabotaged the evacuation point and set the traps were one of Hongshi's former colleagues, and their purpose was undoubtedly to disrupt the negotiations. Yuanxing now completely understood why Hongshi disliked these former colleagues so much; she now disliked them all too. These people were utterly useless when they were in charge, but they were more than capable of harming others!

Yuanxing asked, "Lingling, how long will it take to rebuild an evacuation point?"

"Fifteen Abandoned II Umbrella Master IX" (deleted minutes).

After answering, Lingling immediately began working on the teleportation array. She felt even more motivated than before and believed she could create the teleportation array faster.

Yuanxing felt that holding out for fifteen minutes wasn't entirely impossible: "Okay, let's hold out for fifteen minutes, and then return to Momomo through the teleportation array. Elf, if we fail, can we all be resurrected in Momomo?"

"no problem."

The golden serpent coiled above Yuanxing's head: "But you must remember, according to the unlimited defense agreement between the elves and magical girls, they can assist you without limit, but your companions are not included in this agreement, so this is a wish."

"Ah."

"And also, if you want to make a wish, you can all return to the Demon Realm right now!"

“Sorry, I want to try a little harder.” Yuanxing rejected the suggestion: “Although it’s a bit embarrassing for everyone, I want to be a little more willful and bet that we can hold out for fifteen minutes.”

Qingyin said something even more comforting: "Miss Anlian must have been too careless and fell into a trap. She'll probably recover in less than fifteen minutes."

"That's true, it might recover in three minutes."

Suddenly, Yuanxing felt a surge of energy coming towards her. She suddenly understood why Anlian hadn't chased after her; she simply couldn't catch up. From the beginning, she had planned to use the most powerful magic attack to defeat the distant enemy.

"Invincible Shield!"

Even with the shield hastily deployed, it was still able to completely block the long-range magic cannon attack. However, being able to block the magic cannon attack did not mean being able to block the impact. Under the bombardment of the magic cannon, Yuanxing was blasted away and rolled several times on the ground before shakily getting to his feet.

Yuanxing just wanted to complain: "Where is the invincibility? Doesn't this still require rolling around?!"

Ps:

This is the only chapter that combines two parts.

Chapter 87: I Just Want to See This

The clatter of high heels in the corridor sounded like the slow approach of death.

"Why don't you fight back?" An Lian's voice rang out: "Yue Huai, what kind of bad idea are you plotting? Never mind, it doesn't matter anyway."

Because Anlian is preparing to launch another attack!

She had no intention of coming over to see what was going on. From the beginning, she planned to just bombard and bombard again. As long as the source of magic power over there was completely destroyed, that would be considered death, and her goal would be achieved.

The crimson beam cannon roared in once more. Facing the incoming beam, Yuanxing charged forward and stood at the very front of the group, her shield deploying once more. The attack was still blocked by Yuanxing, but this time she was even less able to withstand the impact, being blasted even further away and crashing directly into the wall, knocking the entire wall down.
