The Organization Will Remember You

Then Hua Lingyou explained some of the magical girl's movements to him, and Tang Ming listened attentively while nodding. His senior would always explain information to him from time to time during actual operations, rather than just handing him a bunch of documents to read on his own.

From this perspective, although Hua Lingyou is sometimes a bit unserious, she is a great teacher.

While the two were chatting away, the battle between the magical girl and the Newtype organization had reached its climax.

"What kind of hero hides in the sky! Come down here if you dare!"

"They won't let us leave, but they're too afraid to fight head-on! Once our boss arrives, you won't be able to leave even if you want to!"

The crowd was chattering and shouting, and their bodies were not idle either. Several people stepped onto the steel stairs outside the building, kicking their feet into the warm breeze. She gave them a cold glance.

A flash of lightning, and the close-quarters attack was blocked by an invisible wall. Xunfeng made a strange gesture with his fingers, and a whirlwind appeared, sweeping the two of them toward the building opposite.

The seemingly gentle and harmless whirlwind carried two mutated individuals and slammed them into the wall. Before the force of the impact had subsided, it pierced through the load-bearing walls inside, continuing until it had destroyed five walls before finally stopping.

The two people's fate is unknown, and the building that has been pierced into the shape of a gourd is also becoming shaky. Fortunately, the hole was made small and quickly, so there is no immediate risk of collapse.

The other New Human companions breathed a slight sigh of relief. They couldn't rescue their comrades for the time being, and judging from the formless and intangible whirlwind just now, it probably wouldn't be killed in one blow.

After witnessing Xunfeng reveal one of his trump cards, everyone became even more cautious.

"Didn't our boss leave a long time ago? Are there any other reinforcements...?" One of the men in black robes standing at the back asked his companion in a low voice, his voice still somewhat immature.

His companion glanced at the inexperienced newcomer, covered his mouth, and whispered in his ear, "Of course not! Those who were supposed to retreat ran away long ago. We're the last large group left... Apart from the local members hiding in various places, all the other locations have been wiped out by the Anti-Demon Division."

As the man gazed gloomily at the petite, lovely, yet indifferent blue-purple figure in the sky, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

"If this drags on any longer, the people who will come will be from the Demon Extermination Department... We can't let all of our dozen or so brothers get wiped out here."

"Damn it... We can't run away, and we can't even fight in close combat. Our advantages are completely restricted." His companion next to him cursed through gritted teeth.

Time ticked by, and the magical girl's spells were cast with great restraint. Among their intelligence, they knew the least about Kaoru, and almost no one understood her fighting style. Hoping that she would run out of magic power and be unable to fight was pure fantasy.

"Let's make a sacrifice..."

The group stopped fighting and looked at their leader, who had just spoken.

"Sacrifice, offer our bodies to the alien, and the resulting energy might be enough for us to break through," the leader said in a deep voice, fiddling with his robes.

The crowd fell silent. As the name suggests, offering one's body as an irreversible sacrifice to an alien entity is essentially a death sentence.

As members of the new humans, each of them abandoned everything worldly and prepared to die, but the unexpected events during the operation were different from the voluntary "sacrifice"... They hesitated and looked at their leader, waiting for the other party to give the order.

Without further ado, the leader pointed his index finger at a man named Fan Hong, one of the strongest among them. He was also the one who put in the most effort during the counterattack against Xunfeng.

Fan Hong knew that the leader chose him because his strength was more reliable. If they just sent those newcomers to their deaths, it would be hard to say how many people could break through the magical girl's cage.

He stared silently at the leader, then looked away and nodded emphatically.

In an instant, Fan Hong's skin lost all color. The crystalline armor on his chest, enveloped in the alien substance, continued to expand, and more fine threads pierced into the skin covered by the alien substance, draining Fan Hong's life force.

The crystal armor grew larger and larger, and his flesh continued to expand after turning black, becoming extremely bloated. His originally robust physique began to distort, transforming into the ugly form of a void beast.

"Not enough..." The leader frowned. He saw the expanding purple color fading, and the changes in flesh and blood gradually slowing down. The upper body had become grotesquely obese, but the legs still retained the skeleton of a human.

Although his skin had turned black and his veins were covered in purple, they clearly knew that Fan Hong's life force was insufficient to support the full form of the Void Beast.

In fact, human vitality is merely a drop in the ocean for the void anomaly; it is useful, but not abundant. It can provide the anomaly with a continuous supply of vitality, but it cannot demand that it unleash extraordinary energy.

An exchange that violates equilibrium is something even magic cannot achieve.

"You should also offer sacrifice," the leader said in a deep voice, looking at the other person.

"I……"

The man was somewhat surprised, as he understood his leader's meaning. It wasn't about sacrificing one's life force to amplify one's alien essence like Fan Hong, but rather offering up one's own alien essence for Fan Hong's alien essence to devour.

The heterogeneous substance devours the heterogeneous substance, gaining true energy, and the heterogeneous substance missing from Fan Hong's mutation can be completely replenished.

However, they have already "coexisted" with the alien, and their blood vessels, heart, lungs, and muscles have been completely integrated with the alien. The so-called "symbiotic" is only to highlight the difference in intelligence between them and the virtual beasts that "parasitize" the alien.

The new humans coexist with the heterogeneous, retaining human intelligence and controlling and utilizing the heterogeneous. This seems to be a more advanced life form than the mindless, instinct-based virtual beasts.

However, even those who have completely integrated with the alien matter will die once they are separated from it. Their flesh and blood, which have been emptied and drained, will instantly become a dilapidated empty shell without the support of the alien matter.

While he was still hesitating, the leader walked up to him, placed his hand on his shoulder, and he shrugged, expecting the leader to attack him on the spot out of dissatisfaction. Unexpectedly, the leader simply lowered his head and earnestly requested:

"My child...you and your colleagues are the pillars of the future great cause of the new humanity, the very essence of human evolution!"

"But now you may very well perish here, or even be casually insulted by the wizards sent by the Anti-Demon Department! You are not sacrificing yourselves for the lives of a few of us, but laying a heavy foundation for a future that is destined to succeed!"

"Senior Fan Hong will guide all colleagues towards evolution alongside you!"

The leader raised his head, slammed his hands heavily on his shoulders, his eyes wide with anger… He sensed a profound emotion; this child, who had only been in the organization for a few months, felt for the first time that the blood in his body and the foreign substance were also burning! It was igniting!

He looked around at his colleagues, some sad, some hopeful... He roared and rushed to Fan Hong, who was kneeling on the ground in anguish.

"Senior Fan Hong! Let me help you!"

He concentrated all his energy, desperately trying to force the alien substance to peel away from his body. Every inch of his skin resisted, and every capillary seemed to extend tiny claws, pulling at the threads, preventing the alien substance from leaving his body.

He finds it difficult to fight against his body's instincts. Even though his mind commands the alien, his body's instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm also affects the brain, preventing the alien from blindly following the "brain's" commands.

His actions amounted to suffocating himself.

It is certainly impossible to completely remove the foreign substance from the body by one's own will alone, but this is enough.

The chaotic, spreading mass of alien matter sensed the pure energy around it. Fan Hong raised his head, and two eyes on his messy face looked over.
