The first thing after coming home was to pick up the phone and call Bianju Biaoji again.
She took a shower, blow-dried her hair, and sat on the sofa in her pants. She chatted with Bianju Biaoji about work again, then picked up the doujinshi and tore off the plastic wrap.
Looking at the blush-inducing large image on the cover, Song Wuli looked around to confirm the curtains were closed. Full of anticipation, he turned to the first page—it was blank. He turned to the second page; it was a large image with a different color.
Continuing to flip through, the first chapter began with narration:
“My name is Jin Luan, and I am also a Magical Girl.”
“I am now doing my beloved.”
Huh? Then came the image. Literally as the text implied, Jin Luan was engaged in reciprocating motions with Yin Lin, exactly what everyone thinks, no deception.
So… direct? Song Wuli was dumbfounded. Since the Magical Girl lacked a certain device, Jin Luan even used magic to conjure that device.
Huh? Jin Luan is a top? Yin Lin is a bottom?
With Yin Lin’s fierce combat power and bold style, she becomes a bottom in a doujinshi?
This opening battle lasted a full twenty pages, plenty and satisfying.
Song Wuli’s feelings at this moment were strange; his face turned red.
He put down the manga, paced around the room, and only sat down again after a few minutes. First, he chatted with Bianju Biaoji about work, then picked up the manga to continue reading.
Next, the story was still told from Jin Luan’s perspective. Old Song finally understood that this doujinshi was drawn with Jin Luan as the main character.
The general story goes that the Magical Girl Jin Luan is a high school student by day but a Magical Girl in secret. She can travel through time, going back to the past again and again to save the Magical Girls from the upcoming Night of the Strange Demon Massacre.
‘Huh? This feels a bit familiar. Isn’t this just Madoka Magica and Akemi Homura?’
In the plot, nineteen Executive-level Fiends appear and massacre Yiri City. In the manga, every passing week triggers the Fiend attack on the city.
Huan Hong and Yin Lin are killed. Greenfield and other Magical Girls who came to support also die.
Jin Luan time travels back one week to the second playthrough. She has some action scenes but is still wiped out.
In the new playthrough, she goes to conquer other Magical Girls, unites them to fight the Fiend attack a week later, but still fails.
By the time he almost finished reading the manga, Song Wuli finally understood what they meant by “pure love.”
It turned out to refer to a doujinshi where Jin Luan is the protagonist building a harem, hooking up with over a dozen Magical Girls.
But every time, she has to have a round with Yin Lin first, rain or shine, unshakable—it became a required scene for each time loop.
As for the other Magical Girls, after one time, they’re dropped.
Is this also considered pure love?
Finally, he saw the ending: Jin Luan conquers Black Phoenix again and allies once more to fight the Fiend attack.
But even Black Phoenix is defeated. In utter despair, Jin Luan recalls her original feelings, grabs Yin Lin, and has another spectacular twenty pages.
The plot was a bit twisted, strange, and absurd, but for a doujinshi, it was considered outstanding.
Finally, the grand finale.
Unexpectedly, there was a foreshadowing—Yin Lin had accumulated the “Love Energy” each time without it being reset by the time rewind.
That energy greatly increased her power, making her a Deity, easily solving the Fiend massacre.
The world returned to peace.
After reading, Song Wuli’s expression was like that of an old man on the subway holding a phone.
So this “pure love” meant every time she time traveled back, she had to farm a guarantee from Yin Lin.
And this is No.1 in reputation and sales?
Old Song quickly logged onto the rating website, found the rating page for this doujinshi, decisively wrote a bad review, and after thinking for a long time, typed: “I feel like Yin Lin should probably be the top.”
He also looked at other works by this doujinshi artist—there were even more masters!
In one doujinshi, the Magical Girl Black Phoenix becomes a villain, obtains a Gargoyle Mask, and hides in Egypt. Yin Lin uses her body as capital to form a team and goes to Egypt to fight Black Phoenix. That doujinshi also exploded in reputation and sales.
Another doujinshi features high schooler Jin Luan eating a finger left behind by an ancient evil Magical Girl, getting possessed by that evil Magical Girl, and is about to be executed by the Human Alliance. An eyepatch-wearing, beautiful silver-haired, strongest Magical Girl Yin Lin steps in to protect her, and through physical relations, repeatedly suppresses the evil Magical Girl.
Ever since Yin Lin debuted, this doujinshi artist has been milking Yin Lin alone?
Song Wuli lay on the sofa to rest, then suddenly thought of Bianju Biaoji again and quickly discussed work with him. Seeing that the other person was replying slowly, he directly initiated a voice call.
He worked hard, had a good talk about work with that old man, and gave him some overtime.
After finishing work, he checked the time and was about to go out. He had an appointment with Huang Yi.
Huang Yi already knew Yin Lin’s daily habits, so he always arranged meetings late at night.
This time, however, the meeting wasn’t on the crane tower but on a very ordinary rooftop.
When he arrived, he tossed a suit skirt outfit to Yin Lin and told her to put it on.
“What? Doing cosplay?”
“I’m taking you somewhere. You need to disguise yourself,” he explained. “It’s definitely not some special fetish.”
Yin Lin still found a place to change. It fit well, but it looked a bit odd—she was too petite and didn’t match the OL style at all.
When going downstairs, wearing new high heels was very uncomfortable, and the skirt hem was tight, unlike the loose Magical Girl skirt. Wearing this to go up and down stairs was unpleasant.
“Aren’t you used to wearing skirts? Or aren’t you used to wearing high heels?”
Huang Yi noticed her discomfort and couldn’t help asking.
“Do you think I’m old enough to wear these?”
Yin Lin retorted.
“Sorry, but there’s no helping it this time. I need you to disguise yourself.”
Huang Yi led her a short distance, then they got into a car. He drove and explained the reason for their meeting.
The car drove leisurely along the road. He said he needed Yin Lin to accompany him on a work task. This task wasn’t originally his, but he specifically took it for Yin Lin.
It was simple—meeting with the family of a suspect and the victim.
Since it was official business, why did he need Yin Lin to come along?
Huang Yi didn’t explain and focused on driving.
When they arrived at the destination, it was nearly dawn. They could have done this during the day, but to accommodate Yin Lin’s activity time, they chose the night.
The place was the residence where the suspect was arrested. Huang Yi gave her a hat to cover her hair and head, and also a pair of glasses to hide her golden eyes.
She indeed looked like a small clerk.
The two got out of the car, approached the house, and knocked on the door.
“Who is it?”
A cautious female voice came from inside.
“People from the Eastern Alliance. We’re here to explain the case.”
Huang Yi’s tone was formal.
The door was opened by a woman in pajamas who had hastily thrown on a jacket, followed by her son.
It should have been a happy family of three, but in just a few days, everything had turned upside down.
