Ye Wanqing, whose left eye had already been drawn into a black scar, made her declaration of attack.
“Hehe, I guess this one…”
Her finger hovered over the second card in Su Mu’s hand.
Seeing this, Su Mu’s eyebrows furrowed, and she intentionally tried to protect that card.
Ye Wanqing took it all in.
Hearing this, Su Mu’s brow relaxed, and she let out a soft sigh of relief, all of which was observed by her opponent.
“It’s the Joker.”
“So, I choose—this one!”
Ye Wanqing reached for that Joker, pulled it out with a flourish, and slapped it down as if showing off.
“Now it’s my turn to draw a ghost face on you, hehe…”
Before her voice could fade, Su Mu smiled faintly.
Ye Wanqing gave a wicked grin and didn’t move her hand, reaching directly for the spot she had mentioned.
“Hmph, too fake, Little Mouse Mu. Did you think I’d be fooled by you?”
“Why don’t you look at the card in your hand again?”
The red-nosed Joker on the card stared back at her.
Ye Wanqing blinked, a hint of surprise appearing in her crimson eyes.
“Hmm, my red nose is rounder than yours.”
A moment later, Ye Wanqing also had a red nose drawn on her.
“Again!”
Su Mu smiled disdainfully, then shuffled the cards again.
She inconspicuously smoothed out the crease on the Joker and swapped its position.
‘When will this girl realize the problem… as usual, she’s bad at games but loves to play.’
“Speaking of which, when are those guys you mentioned coming over? We’ve been waiting for ages. Just drawing on faces is getting boring…”
Hearing this, Ye Wanqing’s face flushed.
She seemed to recall some pleasant memories.
Holding onto the idea that as long as she kept increasing the stakes, she would eventually break even, she made a bold proposal.
“How about we bet our clothes this time?”
Su Mu’s expression froze, and she immediately crossed her arms over her chest, looking at Ye Wanqing warily, “Are you sick? Aren’t you afraid of being seen by others?”
“Oh, you don’t understand. We can take them off from the inside out.”
Ye Wanqing lowered her voice with a look of feigned mystery.
Seeing this, Su Mu narrowed her eyes.
‘Fine. She won’t win anyway.’
***
Looking at the mess all over the ground and several unconscious people lying among the ruins, two Freaks smiled at each other.
“Finally, it’s time to eat! Let me see what this guy has on him…”
“Phew, haha, Boss, we did it!”
The Mohawk Freak rummaged through the bodies of the Combat Division soldiers, his voice filled with excitement, “Boss, we’re rich! Fully modified guns, Level 5 Magic Power protective suits, and large Magic Power batteries…”
However, the Bald Freak only gave a disdainful snort.
He didn’t even look at the low-level combatants.
Instead, he headed straight for the Vibration Witch, who was sprawled on the ground.
Licking his dry lips, he revealed a wicked smile.
“Kid, you still don’t know how to eat. Let your big brother show you. When it comes to eating, you definitely have to eat the Witch first…”
As he spoke, the Bald Freak’s rough palm stroked the Vibration Witch’s arm, sliding all the way down.
He quickly found something that was slightly vibrating.
The moment he touched it, the Vibration Witch couldn’t help but groan, muttering unconsciously: “No…”
“No? No chance, Witch. Your whole person already belongs to me! Just watch how I take your precious drill into my hands and repeatedly… ravage it!!”
Ignoring the Vibration Witch’s weak resistance, the Bald Freak unceremoniously snatched the drill from her hand.
Afterward, he slapped the Vibration Witch’s pretty face, leaving a large, red, swollen patch on her cheek.
The Witch looked at the Bald Freak with a dazed expression.
This guy didn’t shave his head out of a hobby or to show off his personality—he did it because he had probably become a monk!
“Boss, I’m at least considered a devastating beauty. Look at me a few more times…”
The Bald Freak gave a contemptuous smile and punched the Witch, turning her into Magic Power fragments that drifted away.
“Sigma Freak, no more words!”
The secret stash was swept clean afterward.
Although they found almost nothing else, it was certainly the most delicious haul.
“Carrying a bunch of captured Magic Power, we can say it’s a full harvest.”
After gathering their spoils, the two carried their bulging bags and carefully made their way toward the Teleportation Point.
“It’s just a pity we didn’t run into those two Magical Girls. They must… let’s go catch them.”
“True, but we got a lot this time. If we have the chance, once…”
The Broken Bridge.
The Bald Freak grinned, then looked up at the magnificent bridge in the distance.
“I remember the view at the end of the bridge is the best. Let’s go there and wait for the Dreamswimming Fish…”
Before he could finish his sentence, his vision focused on a spot on the bridge.
He saw a clump of lush red hair vaguely visible behind the railing—it was so familiar.
“I think I see that Magical Girl… ah!”
Before he could finish, Ye Wanqing had already compressed her Magic Power to its limit.
She transformed into a fire phoenix, roaring out at a speed invisible to the naked eye.
The Bald Freak’s body was instantly pierced, turning into half a section of writhing charcoal.
But Freaks had tenacious vitality.
He coughed painfully twice, his blackened lips opening and closing as he struggled to make a sound.
“Save me…”
The Mohawk Freak’s scalp went numb.
He didn’t dare peek out or reach out.
He could only wait for the Bald Freak to crawl over bit by bit.
However, in the next moment, after another ear-piercing whistle, that half-section of charcoal was completely obliterated, leaving only a thick mass of Magic Power in its place.
The Mohawk Freak’s eyes nearly burst from their sockets.
‘Damn those Magical Girls, why are they here?’
‘Wait, they disappeared early on. They probably intended to get on the bridge from the start, just waiting for us to organize our things and deliver them to their doorstep.’
‘Yes, you can avoid combat, you can sneak attack, you can rely on luck to find big fish, or you can rely on absolute strength to crush other enemies, but no matter what you choose, you always have to evacuate!’
‘To evacuate, you have to be attacked by her from the bridge above!’
‘What a despicable method. Are they really Magical Girls?’
The Mohawk Freak huddled behind the ruins, thinking resentfully.
He wanted to go up the bridge and fight them with his life, but remembering the miserable state of his boss, he couldn’t help but tremble.
‘What should I do? This isn’t a solution. Staying in the Witch’s Dream for too long will increase the Degree of Immersion, which will be very troublesome. But they can leave whenever they want.’
‘Fine, I’ll just wait them out. They can’t do anything to me from the bridge anyway…’
The moment that thought crossed his mind, he caught a glimpse of a small black dot flying around in the sky, constantly monitoring his location.
Those sharp eagle eyes peered through the mist of the Dream World, locking tightly onto him, making his scalp tingle.
Upon closer inspection, he could see a thread, so thin it was almost imperceptible, tied to the bird’s leg and leading toward the distant bridge.
The source was Su Mu.
She used her dominion over this silly bird to share vision with Ye Wanqing, exposing the Mohawk Freak’s location.
Su Mu waved the pink printed panties in her hand.
For a moment, skin was exposed, making Ye Wanqing’s face turn peach-red with shame and indignation.
“Right there, do you see it? Hurry up, or else…”
“Don’t get cocky! Wait until I…”
Ye Wanqing snorted and said no more.
An exquisite deep-red robe appeared on her body, her eyes suddenly becoming sharp as her slender fingers danced.
In the next moment, countless deep-red flames appeared at her side, constructing a giant fire skull.
Just by looking at it, one knew how terrifying the burning would be if hit by it directly.
In the next moment, Ye Wanqing concentrated her spirit and pushed her hands forward, driving the giant skull forward.
It drew a crimson rainbow in the air, plunging toward the Mohawk Freak’s location, intending to annihilate him along with his cover.
In the blinding firelight, the Mohawk Freak died.
After all, she had lost quite badly to Su Mu.
“We can finish up. Let’s go clean up the battlefield and evacuate happily.”
This suggestion was rejected by Ye Wanqing.
She gripped the poker cards, slammed them onto the table, and glared at Su Mu fiercely.
Su Mu looked at Ye Wanqing, who had a face full of drawings and felt a draft below, and she couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
“No, more people will come in a while. Let’s play a few more rounds.”
“Alright, then let’s play a few more.”
A moment later, Ye Wanqing looked at the Joker in her hand in disbelief.
Her red lips trembled slightly, but she couldn’t speak.
Su Mu didn’t say anything either, merely reaching out her hand toward Ye Wanqing.
“Impossible, you must have cheated!”
“Hand it over.”
This time, it was Ye Wanqing’s turn to protect her chest with a flushed face, looking at Su Mu warily.
“That’s right, I want the one you’re protecting right now. Hurry up.”
Biting her lower lip and knowing she couldn’t escape, Ye Wanqing took a deep breath, turned her back, and fumbled for a long time before handing a vest to Su Mu.
“Take it.”
Her voice trembled as if she had made a great resolution and overcome immense shame, but Su Mu wasn’t buying it.
Su Mu crossed her arms over her chest resentfully, while extending a thin thread for discerning lies toward Ye Wanqing’s back, preparing to perform a polygraph test.
“You really aren’t wearing anything?”
The silk thread vibrated non-stop, and Su Mu’s gaze became subtle.
“How could that be possible!”
“You can just think of it as a disposable item.”
“It’s just… it’s just that it can’t be called clothes… it’s disposable.”
“You really aren’t wearing anything??”
Ye Wanqing’s slender arms were wrapped around her front, protecting the fullness of her chest tightly.
This act of trying to hide things only made Su Mu more suspicious.
“Then don’t lie to me. You said it yourself, from the inside out. No backing out!”
Ye Wanqing tried her best to stop her, but Su Mu cast aside the vest and went to lift Ye Wanqing’s cloak.
Countless silk threads followed her will, swarming up and constantly disturbing the gaps in Ye Wanqing’s defense, making it impossible for her to concentrate and organize any effective resistance.
A moment later, the two girls lay on the ground, panting.
“Are you satisfied now!”
Ye Wanqing angrily stuck the band-aid back on, while Su Mu continued to bury her head and play dead.
“Speaking of which, doesn’t it feel strange?”
“No, it’s quite relaxing, and it’s convenient.”
Ye Wanqing had previously maintained her teen form, which wouldn’t have been affected, but now it was indeed a bit troublesome.
She simply deactivated her transformation and turned back into a slender girl who was slightly shorter than Su Mu.
That sense of unnaturalness immediately dissipated, replaced by the raw innocence unique to a young girl.
“Relaxing? Convenient? Could it be…”
“It’s not what you think!”
Ye Wanqing slapped the vest onto Su Mu’s face and turned away in shame, ignoring her.
‘Losing was so annoying!’
