The advantage is actually in my hands...

Chapter 90 The advantage is actually in my hands...

As the Heart of Calamity was devoured, drained, and shrunken, the foul magic in the room also became like water without a source, quickly dissipating.

Accumulated corrupted magic power: 477 points (B-rank disaster beast) / 265 points (A-rank disaster beast)

The opponent's rank is indeed extraordinary. If they hadn't encountered Wu'an beforehand, even if the magical girl who came here could defeat Qiluo, she would most likely have been seriously injured or even killed by the opponent's counterattack.

However, normal magical girls would generally avoid such an environment filled with tainted magical energy.

After the Heart of Calamity dissipated, the two magical girls did not wake up, and their once plump skin began to show signs of withering.

They are dead.

Previously, it was only being kept alive by the Heart of Calamity, which provided it with the magic to advance.

Wu Pei took out his phone and confirmed that the two people were indeed the two heads of the Qishan City General Affairs Bureau.

It's a real shame; who would have thought the bureau's third-in-command would become a witch?

Wu Pei isn't a professional corpse collector. Let's wait until we contact the headquarters and have them send someone to collect the magical girl's body.

Click click—

Wu An, who was about to leave, stopped in his tracks and looked back. He saw that the magical girl, who had been unharmed before, was now covered in cracks.

Thud—

A dull thud came from within, and her body turned into dust, drifting in the air, leaving only a flower of the heart lying on the bed.

[Special Item: Remnants of the Unsatisfied Flower of the Heart]

[Effect: After absorption, increases mental energy by up to 6000 points (ineffective for those above level 4)]

[Synopsis: I promised I'd find a way to cure you... We promised to go back to Hongdu together... Why... I'm sorry...]

[Hint: The wish made when transforming into a magical girl is called a "true wish"]

The Heart Flower is most effective when absorbed by magical girls whose true desire is "resentment" or a similar emotion. If other magical girls absorb it, it may affect their "true desire" and cause unpredictable reactions.

Wu An placed the remains of the Heart Flower back by Ling Ya's ear on the bed. This thing was useless to her. Li Huanhuan's original wish was definitely not "unwillingness", otherwise she would not have slacked off during cultivation.

Let the people in the General Affairs Bureau take over and hand it over to the right person later.

After leaving the security room, Wu Pei began to wander around the headquarters, but found nothing except a few corpses.

She made her way to the top floor, where the person in charge's office was located. The office was unremarkable, except for a private elevator.

This elevator is quite strange, because the search for the elevator was done floor by floor, and I didn't see the elevator shaft corresponding to this elevator.

She walked to the elevator, which was powered on normally, and tried pressing the button.

Please verify your identity.

The broadcast started from the side. Wu An moved closer to the receiver under the broadcasting equipment and looked into it.

[Authentication failed. The magical girl does not have the corresponding permissions. This has been recorded.]

'

'

She took out Xiao Hei's phone, ready to make a call.

Now that all the magical girls in the entire Qishan City Bureau have been wiped out, although the basic problems have been cleared, who knows if there are any other issues?

If I tell Xiao Hei about the situation, I should be able to get the necessary permissions from her.

There's a pre-stored number in this phone. Xiao Hei mentioned before that if you want to get a full set of numbers, you can contact her directly.

Since the course ended, Wu'an hadn't talked to Xiao Hei much. Now, when he called him, it felt a bit like hesitant to return home.

The call was answered after only one beep.

"Little Black?" Wu An asked.

"That voice... who is it? Ah... it's Lord Hakimi the puppy."

Hearing her real voice for the first time almost reminded Wu Pei of the AI ​​in the Sith system, who might actually have been designed based on Xiao Hei's appearance.

However, Xiao Hei's voice was heavy with fatigue, giving the impression that he was weak, as if he had been staying up all night and was about to die suddenly.

However, Wu Pei had no room for pity or mercy towards her.

"Just call me Wu'an. I'm in Qishan City now. The General Administration Bureau here has been completely wiped out, and the two leaders are dead as well," Wu'an explained the situation directly.

"what?"

Xiao Hei's voice was both surprised and frightened, causing Wu An to frown.

"Just to confirm, are you from headquarters?" Wu An asked.

Although we're pretty sure it's the magical girl Azure Star, let's confirm it anyway.

"Yes...please wait a moment, let me verify..."

No sooner had she finished speaking than an incredulous groan came from the other end of the phone.

"Ah...ah...ah...ah"

"Is it confirmed?" Wu An asked indifferently.

"No...no, we haven't confirmed it yet."

"What's wrong?"

"Changming City is under lockdown..."

"?"

"

With the access granted by Xiao Hei, Wu Pei opened the person in charge's computer and logged into the corresponding website.

Then, I saw a world overview map, with azure blue dots dotting the map, some large and some small. The most dazzling was Hongdu in Jiangbei, followed by the Seven Luminaries Cities distributed in Jiangdong, Jiangxi, and Jiangbei.

Cities are scattered like stars, but compared to the vast world, they are extremely small.

What truly caught Wu Pei's attention was Jiang Nan... or rather, she realized something for the first time.

In the world I live in, there are regional names like Jiangdong and Jiangxi, and even Jiangbei, so it's only natural that there is also Jiangnan.

Why did I subconsciously overlook this part before, and why is there no mention of "Jiangnan" in any written, online, or real-world records?

Now she understands.

The part belonging to Jiangnan, the city's lights, have long since turned scarlet.

Consequently, some cities in Jiangdong and the areas bordering Jiangxi and Jiangnan are also marked as red.

The worst situation is in Jiangxi now, where Qingyao City, originally one of Jiangxi's twin cities, has turned red.

Wu Pei has already made contact with the witch and killed Qi Luo, so there's no need to hide much information from her anymore.

Although Xiao Hei didn't think Wu An was unaware of this information.

After all, she is a magical girl who has completed such a great task as [Natural Cultivation].

"What happened in Jiangxi?"

As Wu An asked, he tried searching for the word "Qing Yao" online, but the original entries were gone, leaving only irrelevant web pages...

That was a megacity with a population in the hundreds of millions... and it's gone just like that...

It's as if it never happened.

"It's in the midst of a battle, but... it's likely to fall soon," Xiao Hei replied listlessly.

Judging from the situation, it probably fell in the last few days. It seems that some major battle took place in Jiangxi, and the outcome of that battle is self-evident.

"Is the enemy a witch?"

"Hmm... Lord Wu'an, let's talk about Changming City first."

Xiao Hei didn't seem to want to talk about this topic.

After all, who would like to fail, let alone suffer a crushing defeat?

"Changming City is now out of our control. It seems that its surrounding satellite cities, apart from Qishan City, are mostly safe..."

We originally thought that as long as Jin Yu didn't leave Changming City, there wouldn't be any problems, but the problems have exceeded our expectations...

"Are all the cities under your control?" Wu An asked.

"Normally speaking... that's how it is. You've seen a portion of my abilities. Although my true form can't go there, in a sense, all cities are within my reach..."

However, that's probably an exaggeration. In a typical big city, it's fine, but if something happens in a small town like Qishan, and the other party acts covertly, it's possible that we wouldn't be able to detect it immediately..."

"Is the witch the attacker?" Wu An continued to ask.

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing..."

Wu An didn't say it aloud, but he still felt uneasy inside.

Based on the map, the magical girls occupy much more territory and are on the defensive, so they should have the advantage.

If Jiangxi successfully defends itself, and problems arise in Changming City on the east side of the Yangtze River, it can be said that the enemy is using a feint attack.

However, it seems that the witch's attacks from both sides have been successful, while the opponent is attacking from both sides, which is not quite right.

Could it be that the magical girl's fighting power is actually inferior to that of the witch?

However, without knowing the full picture, it's best not to comment too much and let's get down to business first.

"Could you lend me some of your authority? The only place the Qishan City General Affairs Bureau hasn't checked is the elevator in the head's office."

"Yes, that's exactly what we were thinking. Lord Wu'an, please go directly to the underground after you enter the elevator and inject your magic into it so that we can establish contact with you and investigate the situation in Qishan."

"Is there anything else about Qishan?" Wu'an walked towards the elevator and returned to the collector.

[Authentication Successful]

The elevator doors opened.

"According to you, there shouldn't be any problems... But we don't quite understand why we couldn't detect the anomaly in Qishan City. Even if that witch named Qiluo was faking the operation of Qishan City, it's really abnormal that no calamity beasts have appeared in Qishan City for half a month..."

"We shouldn't have been blind to it. And the same goes for Changming City. We should have sensed it the moment the connection was lost, but in fact, we only discovered the problem when you called us."

Xiao Hei started rambling on and on, his words overflowing with self-reproach.

"Isn't it because you're distracted and can't pay attention?" Wu Pei said.

"No, you don't need to make excuses for us. This is definitely not a matter of being distracted... No matter how focused a person is, if someone suddenly stabs them in the back, they will definitely react."

The situation was perfectly clear, something we could see directly, but we just didn't notice it... or rather, we weren't aware of it...?

This feeling is strange.

As the elevator descended, Xiao Hei's words resonated deeply with Wu An.

Even though they saw it, they didn't notice it at all, subconsciously treating it like a pebble on the roadside and ignoring it completely.

Just like before entering the Genko-kai's base.

"Could it be because of that witch named 'Lin Ye'?"

Wu An felt that Lin Ye's ability was somewhat similar to "invisibility" or reducing his presence, although the entrance to the Illusion Society could only affect the fourth level.

However, if Lin Ye himself were to use it, it's not impossible that it could affect Xiao Hei.

"Who is Lin Ye?"

"Hmm? You don't have any information about this witch? You mean that council or something..."

"You even know about Parliament. Well, that makes sense... after all, it's you."

Wu Pei didn't want to criticize her baseless speculation anymore, and simply said, "The ninth seat in the council is that Lin Ye."

"Lin Ye? The ninth seat has been changed? The ninth seat isn't—" Xiao Hei's voice became excited, then paused... followed by a suppressed silence.
