Chapter 87 Now, it's time for fantasy!

As darkness fell, the entrance to the Qishan City General Affairs Bureau remained deserted as usual, with only the security room, its curtains drawn, emitting a pale yellow light.

In front of the gate, a man covered in sweat was resting, panting heavily.

Koala hiked up the mountainside where the Bureau of Statistics was located, unaware that he had become the last remaining member of the Phantom Society.

He didn't hike up the mountain to exercise; it was just that the situation was urgent, and he specifically chose a way to get to the Bureau of Statistics that would allow him to stall for time as much as possible without appearing to be doing so intentionally.

First, take the bus and miss your stop, then walk back.

If Wu Pei is successfully subdued by the Huanzi Society while he is trying to get help, then everyone will be happy, and he won't have to risk his life to find Qi Luo anymore. It just means that no one will want to hang out with him anymore.

If the base is unfortunately destroyed by Mu'an, that's fine too. We can just run away. Even if magical girls don't kill people, we can just buy tickets and run away while they're tied up by Mu'an.

The current move to take control is also a choice to prevent the situation from developing in the previous direction and to avoid giving the chairman a pretext for retaliation.

However, the student council president, who had been urging him, hasn't replied for five minutes. He's probably been knocked down by the magical girl, otherwise he would have started cursing at him long ago.

He was panting heavily, preparing to turn around and run away after another half minute.

Thump, thump, thump—

"?!"

The sudden sound of footsteps startled Koala, who jumped back a step. He then realized that a magical girl had appeared at the door without him noticing.

Judging from her appearance, it was indeed Qi Luo he was looking for. She had dark circles under her eyes, as if she had stayed up all night, and a beautiful black cat with purple eyes was yawning on her head.

"Miss Kira!" Koala quickly explained the situation, ignoring Kira's strange look: "A magical girl has stormed the base, and we've lost contact with it."

"Then how come you're still alive?"

Koala was stunned by the question and couldn't understand the logic in Qiluo's words.

He cursed Qi Luo in his heart, but quickly explained aloud, "I've come to ask for your help!"

"No need," Qiluo shook her head.

"Why...why? The president and the others are missing, they need to be rescued right now!"

"If their fate is unknown, just consider them dead. You should go join them. Anyway, the Illusion Society here is useless; it was going to be disbanded anyway."

"???"

"After all, everything will be settled by tomorrow, so why keep you here?" Seeing the koala's puzzled expression, Kira explained while yawning, reaching out her hand.

After destroying the Huanzi Society's stronghold, Wu Pei, guided by Zhu Huan, found the door leading to the exit.

As soon as the door opened, the aroma of chicken hot pot wafted into my nostrils.

Wu An looked up and turned his head to see the garbage heap in the back kitchen of that "Laojia Chicken" restaurant.

The door they came out of gradually disappeared from sight, and they could not be found even if they checked again, presumably because they used [Lin Ye's] ability.

Back in Changming City, that "Second Seat" said he was bringing a note to "Old Home Chicken," so that note must have had the same ability as [Lin Ye's Gaze].

However, at that time I was in a hurry to find a place to hunt down the monsters, and since a long time had passed, I didn't think about the note. After all, I had already memorized the contents of the note.

"Let's call it a day." Wu An looked at Zhu Huan and immediately proposed breaking up.

"Don't you want to do something else with me and stay a little longer? After all we've been through." Despite her obvious exhaustion, Zhu Huan still had the energy to bring up this idea.

It’s weird.

"No, I'm very tired today. Let's talk about it tomorrow."

"Okay." Zhu Huan nodded helplessly, then said, "I lost my phone... so I can't add you as a friend for now. Let's meet somewhere tomorrow."

"At 10 a.m. tomorrow, shall we have this chicken hotpot?" Wu An asked, pointing to the chicken from his hometown.

"Ah..." Zhu Huan didn't understand how she came up with such a stupid time and place.

But when I thought about how she was Mu Ming's friend, I felt relieved.

"Let's meet at the park square in the west of the city tomorrow at three o'clock in the afternoon," Zhu Huan suggested.

"Whatever you want," Wu An replied and turned to leave.

Zhu Huan quickly grabbed her hand. "By the way, could you please pass on a message to Mu Ming for me?"

"explain."

Wu Pei agreed readily, but gave off a very impulsive feeling. Zhu Huan wanted to tell her to be gentler, but then felt that being gentler would make her seem less like Wu An.

"I want to meet him and apologize to him properly."

"There's nothing to apologize for, and I don't think he'll care."

"Waaah...please don't say such hurtful things..." Zhu Huan looked at Wu An sadly, yet she knew that what she said was actually true.

"Regardless, I still want to clarify things with him, and if possible, I'd like to continue our relationship..."

"Continue with what?"

Zhu Huan hesitated for a moment, then blushed and lowered her head.

"It's nothing..."

"Let's set the time for 3 PM tomorrow. You talk to him first, and then I'll talk to you."

"Wait, wait, wait? This isn't even a task that needs to be completed, why cram it all into one day??"

Zhu Huan felt that she had a lot to say to both Mu Ming and Wu An. Half an afternoon was simply not enough.

"That's more convenient. I have something to do, so I'll be going now."

Without giving Zhu Huan any chance to stay, Wu Pei hurriedly ran away.

"Ugh...this is so heartless..."

Zhu Huan watched the black figure gradually disappear into the distance, feeling both resentful and inevitably tense.

Her social connections are now almost completely severed; apart from that terrible enemy, the only people she cares about are Wu Pei and Mu Mingliao.

If possible, Zhu Huan hoped to go to Jiangbei and seek help from the Jiangbei General Administration.

If only one of them were willing to go to Jiangbei with me.

Mu Ming would probably agree... After all, he's an orphan, all alone, though I can't figure out how an orphan like him managed to scrape together the money to buy a ticket to Qishan...

However, when I saw him before, he was working at an amusement park, so I imagine he was still struggling financially.

If I clarify the situation with him and express my feelings, he might come with me to Jiangbei. Besides, Jiangbei is safer than Jiangdong and Jiangxi, since the General Administration is located there.

Mu Ming probably has no reason to refuse.

As for Wu Pei, she's so powerful, stronger than a magical girl in her prime.

Although Zhu Huan did not join the Bureau of Control, she knew that fourth-tier magical girls were popular everywhere. With Wu An's level, reaching the fourth tier was only a matter of time, and she might even already have the strength of the fourth tier.

Going to the General Administration of Statistics would definitely be more suitable for her.

If only I could take them both with me to Jiangbei, what could be more wonderful than that?

Just thinking about it made Zhu Huan chuckle to herself.

Meanwhile, Mu Ming, having deactivated his transformation, was walking back to the hotel, thinking of discussing with Li Huanhuan and relaying the situation to Jin Yu.

He had gathered a lot of information on this trip and needed to reorganize his thoughts. In addition, he had not yet fully figured out how the Second Seat would descend, so he felt uneasy about staying together all the time.

Suddenly, as if sensing something, he looked in the direction of the chicken pot.

"Is the situation even more stable than before?"

Since Zhu Huan had shown signs of becoming a witch, leaving her unattended might cause problems. Therefore, before leaving, Mu Ming left a little magic power on her to monitor the situation.

Although she cannot directly monitor the witch transformation, the aura of filthy magic on her body will become stronger when the witch transformation is activated. As soon as Mu Ming senses that unpleasant aura, he will rush over immediately, and the same goes for other filthy magic that gets close to her.

At the same time, it can also prevent situations like losing contact again as before.

"Did something good happen?"

Mu Ming muttered to himself, but didn't care too much. He returned to the hotel, took the elevator, and walked to his room.

Just as I was about to swipe my room card to enter, I smelled a faint, strange odor from inside the room... the smell of blood.

Dili swiped his card to open the door.

A headless corpse sat in a chair facing the door, with another part of the body on the table next to it, black blood flowing down and landing on the carpet.

I could sense a faint aura of foul magic emanating from the other person, so they must be a member of the Phantom Society.

Although he knew the visitors meant no harm, the malice seemed a bit too strong, making Mu Ming feel slightly nauseous.

He frowned, his gaze not lingering on the corpse, but turning to the girl who was facing away from him and looking out the window.

The other person seemed oblivious to him, simply standing on tiptoe, gazing intently at the scenery outside the window.

Mu Ming took out his phone and searched for the Qishan City General Affairs Bureau. He quickly found her photo.

The name marked next to it is... Qiluo.

This is our second meeting.

"Heh~ You're pretty calm, buddy."

Mu Ming looked up and saw Qi Luo already standing at the door, a wild smile plastered on her face, the two of them only inches apart.
