Chapter 229 Testing
In the tranquil spring,
A figure in pale purple and a figure in pale white walked throughout the entire massage parlor.
I've seen everything, both things I should and shouldn't have seen.
For example, the men's restroom.
The search results were perfectly normal; not a trace of the abyss's aura was detected.
Abyssal nitrogen,
Wherever the Abyssal Beast passes, it will inevitably leave a trace.
It can be diluted.
But it cannot disappear.
But inside this massage parlor, we couldn't find anything at all, which is perfectly normal.
As time goes by,
The proprietress's expression changed from initial panic to later calmness.
Even when leaving,
She also made sure to slip Violet some small candies.
"Little friend... no, Your Excellency the Arbiter, come visit often when you have time."
At the time of parting,
Violet looked at the candy in her hand, then at the resentful Kikyo magician beside her. It was just that the proprietress hadn't given her any candy.
Is there really such a big grudge?
Farewell to Kikyo the Wizard,
Violet took a deep look at the 'Quiet Spring' that was flashing neon lights in the darkness. She felt that it was like a lure in the night, attracting one abyssal beast after another, and then opening its abyssal maw to devour them.
They're only targeting the Abyss Beasts right now, but will they target the Magical Girls in the future?
finally,
She could only sigh softly, "They're up to no good."
never mind,
The world is vast, but going home is the most important thing.
I inexplicably worked an extra hour or two, but I didn't achieve anything. It's really infuriating.
However, the thought that Kikyo, the magician, would keep her company while she worked overtime made her feel much better.
Back home,
Bai Yuzhe sensed something was wrong almost the instant he stepped through the door.
Such heavy resentment.
The table in front of her was already full of food, and she didn't even need to go in to feel the resentful atmosphere that permeated the living room.
If Bai Yuzhe hadn't known that his younger sister had become a magical girl and could no longer fall into the abyss, he would have been prepared to become Violet and carry out the justice process.
"Xiao Qing, your cooking skills seem to have improved a lot. I could smell the aroma of the food from far away," Bai Yuze exclaimed as he changed his shoes and looked towards the living room.
"The food is cold, how did you smell the aroma?"
Bai Youqing didn't appear in the living room; instead, she walked out of the kitchen, her face cold: "Dog nose, huh!"
"Don't be angry, here's some candy for you."
Bai Yuze handed the candy that the landlady had given him to his sister. He had already tried one of the candies and found it to be fine; it tasted pretty good, with both mint and strawberry flavors. "And if you want to prepare a surprise, you should let me know, otherwise I won't be going to Han Xue's house for a home visit."
"You went to Han Xue's house for a home visit?" Upon hearing the familiar name, Bai Youqing's initial anger and resentment dissipated considerably.
"Hmm, what's wrong? You know her?"
Bai Yuze nodded, looking at the other person with a puzzled expression.
"I met her when I participated in the math Olympiad last time. She's from our school too, so we chatted for a bit." Bai Youqing originally wanted to confront her brother, but after thinking about it, she stopped herself. If her own identity was exposed, it would be exposed to her brother, but she would rather not expose the identities of her seniors if possible.
This is also a way of showing respect to our predecessors.
"oh."
Bai Yuze did not choose to delve deeper into this topic; his main goal was to cancel the after-spell animation of his sister's full rage state.
"Xiaoqing, have you eaten?"
"—I didn't eat!"
Bai Youqing's gaze turned resentful again as she stared at Bai Yuze, making her feel uneasy. "Ahem, if you haven't eaten, let me heat it up for you. Don't waste this food."
"it is good."
Bai Youqing nodded, sat down on the sofa, and began reading "Magical Girl Butterfly Orchid".
She's watching the second one now.
The second part doesn't directly tell the story of magical girls. Instead, it tells the story of the magical girl sisters, Butterfly Orchid and Butterfly Orchid. Bai Youqing was deeply moved after watching it. Why did the older sister have to kill her younger sister? Couldn't she have taken her younger sister and run away together?
"Xiao Qing, time to eat."
Bai Yuze took off his apron and called out towards the living room.
"They're here."
Hearing the shouts, Bai Youqing turned off the TV and quickly went to the table.
Looking at the steaming food, she couldn't help but think of the Orchid Sisters picking up trash and buying expired food on the street.
Her eyes turned red.
"What's wrong? How come you got conjunctivitis from watching TV?" Bai Yuze teased his younger sister.
"You're the one with envy! I'm just touched, don't you understand?!"
"Alright, alright, let's eat. Don't you usually like coconut juice the most? Why do I see a lot of iced tea in the fridge today? Changed your taste!" Bai Yuze poured himself a glass of iced tea and poured another glass for his sister.
"Let's change things up. On this hot day, iced tea is so refreshing."
"oh oh."
Bai Youqing glanced at her brother guiltily, and seeing that he didn't show any unusual behavior, she started eating like crazy.
Bai Yuze had already eaten out once, so he wasn't very hungry yet. He ate a little food and drank the beverage on the table before taking a shower. In the bathroom, the cool water washed away the summer heat. Bai Yuze counted the days; the Magical Girl Exchange Tournament would begin in a few days. He wondered what the competition format would be like this time.
The format of the Magical Girl Exchange Tournament has been constantly changing and improving. In the beginning, the adjudication teams in the city gathered together and fought each other. The team that defeated the opponent first would gain points, and the team that advanced would be determined by the number of points they had.
Each city will then send the selected magical girl teams to participate in the national competition.
However, the Abyssal Beasts somehow discovered this pattern and frequently used this time to cause destruction. In recent years, Bai Yuze had heard that the Magical Girl Bureau and the Security Bureau were going to abolish this competition method that required participants to leave their jurisdiction and adopt a new competition format.
But no information has been released.
Many magical girls only have a superficial understanding of this.
Washing, washing,
Bai Baiyuze suddenly felt dizzy, as if he had been drinking.
Do I have a cold?
Bai Yuze covered his slightly feverish head, his face full of confusion. He had only eaten an ice cream today, so how could he have caught a cold?
Take out a dry towel and wipe your body clean.
He came out of the bathroom.
I glanced in my sister's direction and saw that she was still eating.
She shook her head slightly and called out, "Xiao Qing, get some rest. I'm not feeling well, I'm going to sleep now."
"Brother, are you alright?"
Bai Youqing turned her head and looked at her brother who was covering his head. She was also very nervous. Was the thing that Sister Xiaowu gave her really that effective?
She didn't get involved much today; she just wanted to test the effects of the sedative tea to avoid any unexpected situations.
"Would you like me to make you a cup of cold medicine?"
"It's nothing, I should feel better after a good night's sleep."
Bai Yuze shook his head, opened the door and went in. He wanted to take a look at his phone, but he closed his eyes as soon as he touched the bed.
It's still that familiar cage.
Erkani sat on the sofa, carefully examining the humanoid monster in the cage, occasionally letting out a gasp of amazement.
"This is the first time I've encountered such a beautiful abyssal creature. I don't think I've seen this kind of abyssal monster in any other city. Does the Yeqiu City government have a corresponding name for it?"
"Doctor, I checked the official information, and the name of this Abyssal Beast seems to be Chesia. It is a monster with above-average strength in Yeqiu City."
The speaker had a charming voice.
If Violet and Bellflower were here, they would recognize her as the young proprietress who greeted them.
"Suzaku, you did a very good job this time. Tell me, what reward do you want?"
As he spoke, Ercani conjured a red magic stone (Abyss Stone) in his palm and tossed it into the cage.
It seems they want to feed Checia.
Chesia, inside the cage, glanced indifferently at the two insects outside the cage with her purple pupils beneath her long eyelashes, remaining unmoved.
If she hadn't already tried to break free of the magic circle and failed, she would have already gone out and torn those two damned, despicable insects to pieces.
"That's interesting."
Ercani waved his hand, and the fiery red magic stone reappeared in his hand, which he examined closely.
Suzaku glanced at Chesia in the cage and smiled seductively: "I want the Doctor to strip me of this Abyssal Beast's stealth ability."
"Let's wait a while. I plan to study this abyssal monster for a bit longer. I have a vague feeling that this monster probably holds a rather significant position in the abyss." Erkani gently shook his head, neither refusing nor immediately agreeing. "By the way, after you met with the two strongest mages in Yeqiu City tonight, did you discover anything?"
Zhuque had no objection to the doctor's refusal, as the doctor always kept his word.
Let me begin by explaining my personal observations of the two magicians I met tonight:
"Their senses to the abyssal ammonia are extremely sharp. Even though I concealed my presence and the traces of the abyssal monsters the whole way, they followed me the moment I stepped into the shop, which startled me."
"Okay, continue."
Erkani nodded. He knew that Suzaku's ability to conceal his presence was the strongest in their organization of traitors. If the Violet Mage and the Kikyo Mage had reached this level of sensitivity to the Abyssal Ammonia, then their future activities would need to be even more cautious and covert.
"After our initial contact, I found that the relationship between Violet Mage and Kikyo Mage didn't seem very harmonious. You could say that Violet was being a bit cold to Kikyo Mage. However, I discovered something very interesting: Kikyo Mage seemed to particularly dislike me getting close to Violet Mage, whether it was just ordinary conversation or physical contact. It felt a bit like she was jealous, which was quite intriguing."
Zhuque chuckled as he finished speaking.
"You mean, the Kikyo mage might be dating the Violet mage, or maybe they're a couple?"
"I'm not entirely sure about that yet; I need to investigate further. Based on the information I've gathered so far, all I know is that they belong to the Kikyo Judgment Squad, with Kikyo as the captain and Violet as the vice-captain." Suzaku shook her head; this was just her initial guess based on the strange atmosphere between Violet and Kikyo.
"Okay, I understand. Your next task is to keep a close eye on this Violet Mage. A while ago, I got information from Ye Qing about the [Red Mist] calamity incident. The last magical girl Xuanwu saw was the Violet Mage, so it's highly likely Xuanwu died at her hands. Although Xuanwu is more of a hindrance than a help, he's still a member of our organization, so what?"
We must avenge him. Besides, based on your information, if Kikyo and Violet really have a close relationship, we can use that to threaten Kikyo, killing two birds with one stone.
"Yes, I understand." Suzaku nodded, then asked with some curiosity, "Doctor, who are you planning to send to deal with the Violet Mage, the White Tiger or the Azure Dragon?"
Erkani gave her a dismissive look, and she immediately lowered her head in fear. "Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask. By the way, how's the probing and observation of Bai Yuzhe going?"
"Bai Yuze spent the whole day today going to the comic convention with his girlfriend Hoshino Seri. In the afternoon, he went to a student's home for a home visit. Originally, I was planning to test the waters with her tonight, but this Cheshire disturbed my plans."
"It's okay, take your time. What about Bai Xiaoying?"
Erkani paid much more attention to Bai Xiaoying than Bai Yuzhe. Bai Xiaoying of Baiyun Group had been able to develop in Yeqiu City for so long, and her influence had basically spread to every aspect of Yeqiu City. On the surface, she was as pure as a white lotus flower emerging from the mud. How could there not be something fishy going on?
His years of experience managing organizations told him that the more upright and innocent a force appears, the more powerful the hidden forces behind it must be.
"this"
A somewhat unpleasant expression appeared on Zhuque's exquisite face: "Doctor, I only found one piece of information, but I cannot guarantee its authenticity."
"Just tell me what you find out. As long as you do your best, I won't blame you."
Noticing the expression on Suzaku's face, Erkani was not surprised. From all the intelligence networks he had set up in Yeqiu City, no matter who he inquired about, at least some information would come out. But when he inquired about Bai Xiaoyuan, all the information he found was top secret.
Some intelligence networks even disappeared completely the day after they were investigated.
"The Kikyo Magician is suspected of having met with Shirai Iris at the Ye Qiu City TV station...: "
"Yeqiu City TV Station?"
Erkanni pondered for a moment, then nodded. "Yes, go down. Wu Qinglong will come to assist you in a while. By the way, regarding the investigation of Bai Lingying, I feel we could try starting with Bai Yuze."
"oh."
A hint of helplessness flashed in Zhuque's eyes. Although Baihu was an ice block, at least he was capable of cooperating. But Qinglong was different; he was a chatterbox with no real skills and a lot of trivial matters.
