Their commission was suspicious.

"Then you should tell me what I should do, right?"

"Do whatever you want."

"???" Ayumu Aikawa looked completely bewildered.

Before she became a magical girl, she called everyone "Candy," but now that she's been forced to become one, she calls everyone "old hag"...

"Alright, Magical Girl No. 1, the most important thing right now isn't discussing the treatment of magical girls, but rather, what do you plan to do with the murderer who just killed you?" Chen Luo said, pointing to Kyoko, who was being turned into a doll and bound in a spread-eagle position by the Chains of Heaven.

"...Is she the murderer who just killed me? Although I noticed something earlier, it's really hard to imagine that such a young girl could do something so cruel." Aikawa Ayumu looked at the bound murderer, somewhat puzzled.

"In short, she had already killed quite a few people before killing you, so what do you plan to do with her? Just kill her? I can provide a pistol." As Chen Luo spoke, he tossed a Heavenly Fire Judgment to Aikawa Ayumu.

"This pistol doesn't have a safety. If you want revenge, just pull the trigger. I've already removed her life-giving orb; she no longer has the ability to resurrect."

"Furthermore, her abilities as a magical girl have been sealed by the Chains of Heaven, so even an ordinary pistol can kill her instantly. As soon as you pull the trigger, she will die immediately."

The Chains of Heaven do not have the ability to seal the magical girl's powers; the Chains of Heaven are only more effective against enemies with higher divinity.

However, this does not prevent Chen Luo from imbuing the Heavenly Lock with some concepts.

For example, the ability of those who enforce the laws of constraint.

Are the laws of restraint such inconvenient things?

Not just Honkai energy, but once Chen Luo becomes familiar with the way an energy works, he can specifically target that energy with the abilities of the Herrscher of Constraint.

Take, for example, the magic of a magical girl.

That's why Kyoko's magical girl form has now dissipated, leaving only tattered everyday clothes covering her vital parts.

Although using the abilities of the Herrscher of Binding is quite difficult, especially this kind of customized and precise sealing, Kyoko's strength is too weak, so it's not a big problem.

Because her magical abilities and powers as a magical girl have been sealed, Kyoko, who is now just an ordinary girl, is unable to break free of the Heavenly Chains.

The Chains of Heaven are themselves quite sturdy chains.

"Well... how about we take him to the police station?"

For an ordinary high school student like Ayumu Aikawa, today's experience was fantastical. He realized that magic is a real thing in the world, and not only magic exists, but magical girls also exist!

“You’re too young. Although we’re about the same age, there’s something I need to tell you. Sometimes having someone behind you is really important. Like… having a great teacher.” As Chen Luo spoke, he took the Heavenly Fire Judgment from Aikawa Ayumu’s hand and fired a shot directly at Kyoko.

The speed was so fast that neither Kyoko nor Aikawa Ayumi could react.

"Boom!" A pillar of fire shot straight into the sky, blocking the bullet for Kyoko.

After the pillar of fire appeared, Ayumu Aikawa subconsciously took a step back because of the scorching heat.

"You're not planning to come out unless you fire a shot, is that it?" Chen Luo looked at the loli figure that had appeared behind the bound Kyoko at some point.

A silver-haired loli wearing a white lab coat, who looks quite young, and has a pair of amber eyes.

Ariel is the head teacher of the "Early Bird Training Program" at Matless Magical School. She has hundreds of millions of students under her wing, truly a teacher with students all over the world!

He is respectfully called "Master Teacher" by the magical girl.

Um, Mr. Hachiman...

Or you can call him a master.

"Sigh, really, what if you kill Kyoko if I don't intervene?" the white-haired loli complained to Chen Luo in a calm tone.

"So what if he's dead?" Chen Luo said nonchalantly.

"At worst, we can just revive again."

"..."

If someone else had said something so outrageous, then Ariel might have had her doubts, but if it was this shrewd businessman…

He can definitely do that.

Moreover, given his excessively righteous moral compass, it's quite normal that he wouldn't want to revive Kyoko even after killing her.

"Please let her off this time for my sake, okay? I'll take responsibility for re-educating her," Ariel said slowly.

Ariel is the kind of person with a steady tone. Unless the sky is falling, her voice hardly changes when she speaks; it's always so calm.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

[Let Kyoko go]: Release Kyoko from the chains, then do not stop her from leaving.

Reward: 666 Primogems + Ariel's Affection Level 20

Difficulty: 3 stars

“I am willing to pay a price for this.” Perhaps feeling that simple words could not move Chen Luo, Ariel continued.

"For example?" Chen Luo asked.

"Hey, are we just going to let her go like that? She's a serial killer." Aikawa Ayumu muttered quietly from the side.

“For example, bio-orbs and magical weapons. I know you’re interested in that.” Ariel sighed.

It's really too difficult to snatch someone away from this seemingly young boy.

Moreover, Kyoko did indeed make a mistake.

This mistake was indeed caused by my own teacher's improper education, and I, as the teacher, should indeed bear some responsibility.

“After the deal is done, I will take Kyoko back to school and educate her properly,” Ariel promised.

"In this way, Kyoko was educated, and I received a reward. It sounds like a world where no one got hurt has been achieved. However... what I, Chen Luo, like most in this life is saying no to self-righteous people!"

Just when Ariel thought the deal was about to be finalized, Chen Luo's words instantly turned her face, which had been filled with a hint of joy at the successful transaction, cold.

"You unscrupulous merchant, what else are you planning to do?" Ariel asked coldly.

"You actually called me a profiteer? Let me tell you, you're finished!" Chen Luo's eyes widened.

“But aren’t you called a profiteer?” Ariel frowned.

"...I don't care, you can't call me a shrewd merchant. Call me a shady merchant!" Chen Luo, who had received the reward for his identity mission, understood why Ariel called him a shrewd merchant, but it wasn't a compliment.

"So, this can't be resolved peacefully?" Ariel's magic began to surge, and the white coat she wore started to move without any wind.

"You want to fight?" Chen Luo's eyes gleamed with excitement.

"This is the path you chose. If I could, I wouldn't want to take action."

“You can eat whatever you want, but you can’t say whatever you want. You were the one who wanted to hit me, okay? After all, if admitting your mistake was enough, what would we need the police for? Since that’s the case, I’ll only use one move. If you can stop me, you can take Kyoko with you; if you can’t, you can stay here. How about that?” Chen Luo said excitedly.

Finally, we can fight openly and honestly.

Chen Luo hasn't been the boss for many years.

Therefore, Chen Luo, slightly agitated, used his move before Ariel had even agreed to the agreement.

Chen Luo opened the umbrella; it was an oil-paper umbrella.

"Hmm?" Ariel frowned in confusion as she watched Chen Luo's actions.

"Give me your hand." Chen Luo stretched out his hand to Aikawa Ayumu, then directly pulled Aikawa Ayumu's hand over and placed it on the umbrella handle.

Just as Aikawa Ayumu was unaware of what was happening, a tremendous suction force emanated from the oil-paper umbrella, continuously absorbing magical power from Aikawa Ayumu's body, which had already materialized his soul.

Immediately afterwards, the crescent moon instantly transformed into a full moon, hanging high in the sky.

“Ariel, you saw me kill Kyoko, right?” Chen Luo asked Ariel.

For some reason, despite the beautiful scene of moonlight covering the ground, the atmosphere of the whole world became increasingly heavy.

“…Mm.” Ariel nodded.

“That silencing barrier affected the entire city. It wasn’t just me; perhaps many more people were drawn there, but they just didn’t show themselves,” Ariel said.

Ariel didn't take action at first, just to see how badly her student's personality had deteriorated.

"You must know the Night King too, right?" Chen Luo asked again.

"Ah."

Ariel is a renowned creator of magical weapons in Veriel.

The Night King once attempted to kidnap her in order to create a magical weapon, so Ariel naturally knew the Night King.

"The Night King was resurrected by the necromancer and became a zombie, so he's immortal, right?"

“Hmm.” Ariel didn’t understand why Chen Luo kept repeating things that everyone already knew.

There's a classic saying in modern times: "The villain dies from talking too much." Although I don't consider myself a villain, I now finally understand why villains like to flaunt their assets. Because they're guaranteed to win!

"To be honest, this umbrella of mine is a special item. If I kill someone, this umbrella will help me eliminate the witnesses by any means necessary. So here's the question... if multiple powerful figures, including you and the Night King, witnessed me committing murder, what method do you think this umbrella would choose to eliminate the witnesses?" Chen Luo looked at the bright moon in the sky with some anticipation.

Completely ignoring Ayumu Aikawa, who was almost completely drained of the endless magic power that the Third Law's materialized soul possessed.

The Night King possesses immortality, a power bestowed upon him by a world-class being named Yu, making him a veritable rule.

So the question is, which has a higher priority: the umbrella or the zombie's immortality?

But what methods are needed to kill a zombie that has the ability to be immortal?

It is divine punishment.

"It's divine punishment!"

A thunderclap erupted from the silence!

A gray bolt of lightning appeared where Ariel had been standing, and a circular hole, its depth unknown, appeared in the ground.

Everything happened silently.

Not far from Chen Luo, Ariel, her face filled with fear, appeared as a ray of light.

The second heavenly punishment followed immediately.

Faced with this attack from the heavens that directly erased the meaning of existence, Ariel chose to avoid its sharp edge.

But some people like something that can absolutely kill.

For example, the Night King suddenly emerged from a black mist, staring fervently at the third Heavenly Punishment, and charged straight at it.

The Night King, a being turned into a zombie by Yu in the past. After gaining immortality as a zombie, he lived a life of utter desolation because he could do anything.

Simply put, it means they've had enough of life and don't want to live anymore!

The Night King is a troublemaker whose sole purpose in causing trouble is to seek death.

And isn't that all-consuming divine punishment right before our eyes the perfect tool for suicide?

The Heavenly Punishment summoned by the umbrella has a priority order of attack. Ariel is the closest, so she is naturally the optimal target.

The Night King can only be attacked after Ariel dies.

After all, it summons the lowest level of divine punishment, which isn't very intelligent.

"Whoosh..." Just as the Night King was about to be struck by the Heavenly Punishment, which had directly rammed into Ariel and was heading towards it, the Heavenly Punishment suddenly dissipated like a gentle breeze.

"Huh?" The Night King paused for a moment, then turned to look angrily at Chen Luo beside him.

The oil-paper umbrella in Chen Luo's hand had been closed at some point.

"What are you looking at? Did you pay (the commission)? You just want to experience the Heavenly Punishment Project? You freeloader! Pay (the commission)!" Chen Luo said righteously, opening his hands towards the Night King.

"Shady businessman!!!"

"Thank you for the compliment." Chen Luo smiled shyly.

Chapter 1154 King of the Night: If you've got the guts, come and hit me! You damned profiteer!

"..."

"..."

"You two... know each other?" Aikawa Ayumu, who had almost had his magic drained by the umbrella but quickly recovered due to the Third Magic, leaned on Chen Luo's shoulder and managed to stand up.

"I don't know him." - Chen Luo

Chen Luo did know the Night King, but he couldn't say he knew him, because the other party didn't know him.

"I know him." — Night King
