Beep beep beep, beep beep beep.
The next day, just as Luo Shuangyue was planning to spend the whole day lazily curled up at home, she suddenly received a message—a message sent directly to her Dark Moth communication account.
The content was straightforward: she was to go to Mi Mi Café in half an hour, and the sender claimed to be an investigator dispatched by the Magic Department.
Upon seeing this message, Luo Shuangyue’s first reaction was: Is this some kind of scam?
But who would dare scam Dark Moth? There were only a handful of people who even knew about this account.
Surely it couldn’t be Xia Mo, right?
Very soon, Luo Shuangyue got confirmation from Monice.
Monice told her the message was real, and that she was the one who handed over her account.
So, when trouble comes, you, the boss, just sell me out, huh? Luo Shuangyue was helpless in the face of Monice’s shamelessness, but this time, she really had no excuse not to go.
These days, the Magic Department was practically desperate, chasing every possible lead.
If she didn’t show up on her own, in half a day she’d probably have several top-tier agents blocking her door.
“What should I wear?” This question stumped Luo Shuangyue.
The clothes Xia Mo bought for her yesterday were all left at Eternal Night.
The message said to meet in half an hour.
There wasn’t enough time for Luo Shuangyue to go to Eternal Night Base, change clothes, and then head to Mi Mi Café.
So, she either had to go in what she was currently wearing, or… Luo Shuangyue’s gaze drifted to her wardrobe.
Maybe… there was another option?
She opened the wardrobe and pulled out a neatly folded dress, her expression like she’d just eaten plain boiled pig intestines.
Luo Shuangxing, you little brat, why did you buy such frilly, pink clothes?! Do you really think this style suits me?
Can’t you learn from Xia Mo and buy me some simple, everyday casual wear?
But no matter how much she complained in her heart, Luo Shuangyue was left with only this one option.
She couldn’t possibly go meet the Magic Department’s Magical Girl in men’s clothing, right?
She still had to keep up her Dark Moth persona.
Grumbling, she put on the dress she’d so firmly refused yesterday, put in her red colored contact lenses, and checked herself in the mirror.
How to put it… Her whole style had changed.
She no longer looked like that girl walking the edge of darkness and death, but more like Luo Shuangxing’s real older sister.
Without the gloomy getup, the resemblance between Luo Shuangyue and Luo Shuangxing was suddenly obvious.
Standing together, they’d look just like a pair of sisters.
“Whatever, this will have to do. Let’s go…”
A little over ten minutes later, Luo Shuangyue arrived at the meeting place designated by the Magical Girl from the Magic Department—Mi Mi Café, a place she remembered all too well.
Today, the café had a “Closed for Rest” sign hanging up.
There wasn’t a single customer inside; even the cats and servers were nowhere to be seen. The Magic Department must have reserved the whole place.
As for why they chose this spot, Luo Shuangyue couldn’t quite guess.
Maybe because it was run by a Magical Girl, so it would be easier to communicate?
Two girls in black uniforms stood guard at the entrance.
When they saw Luo Shuangyue land from the sky and revert to her original form, surprise flashed across their faces.
qThen, they stepped aside to open the door for her.
Luo Shuangyue was still injured, so she preferred not to maintain her transformation unless necessary.
Stepping into the familiar café, Luo Shuangyue saw several girls gathered around the counter, whispering among themselves.
Some faces were very familiar, while one was a total stranger.
Xia Mo, Luo Shuangxing, Xiao Mimi—why were all three of them here?! Luo Shuangyue nearly went numb.
Wasn’t this sort of thing supposed to be a one-on-one interrogation? Why did it feel like a high school group project meeting?
What made her even more flustered was that she was wearing the very outfit Luo Shuangxing had prepared for her yesterday!
Great, wasn’t this just blowing her cover wide open?!
“Oh, you’re Dark Moth? You don’t look quite like the reports.” The unfamiliar girl glanced up at Luo Shuangyue, then waved her over with a bright smile.
Although Dark Moth wasn’t a Magical Girl from the Magic Department, in the eyes of Magical Girls, anyone who was a Magical Girl was a comrade.
Organizational affiliation was just a minor detail.
“I’m the Silver Radiance Dragon Princess. You can call me Sister Long Wen.” The unfamiliar girl introduced herself.
Upon hearing this name, Luo Shuangyue’s face went even more numb.
How did such a big shot get involved in this?
Just yesterday, she’d been chopping people up in Huancheng, and today she was here interrogating her.
Talk about dedication!
How much does the Magic Department pay you a month, anyway?!
“No need to be nervous. I’ve already heard the basic details from Lily of the Valley and the others. Without your help, the damage caused by that monster would’ve been unimaginable. On behalf of the Magic Department, I thank you.” Long Wen stood up, smiled, and took Luo Shuangyue’s hand, guiding her to her side.
Xia Mo and Luo Shuangxing exchanged a glance behind Luo Shuangyue’s awkward expression.
“Xia Mo, what do we do now? Pretend we didn’t see anything?”
“Let’s just pretend for now…”
Luo Shuangxing hadn’t expected her “brother” to be so bold, actually showing up in the new outfit she’d picked out yesterday.
Wasn’t this just outing herself?
But neither Luo Shuangxing nor Xia Mo planned to expose Luo Shuangyue’s secret just yet.
They were still waiting for the right moment.
So, faced with Luo Shuangyue’s obvious suspicious behavior, they could only pretend nothing was out of the ordinary.
What did Dark Moth wear? No idea, we didn’t see a thing!
Xiao Mimi, on the other hand, had no idea about the hidden twists and turns.
She glanced at Luo Shuangxing, then at Luo Shuangyue, growing more and more puzzled.
Why did today’s Dark Moth look so much like Lily of the Valley?
Was it just her imagination?
No, the more she looked, the more alike they seemed—almost as if they’d come from the same womb…
Recalling the bold theory Luo Shuangxing had once shared with her, Xiao Mimi thought that maybe it really was possible.
There was no helping it—they just looked too similar!
While the three Magical Girls each kept their own thoughts, Luo Shuangyue’s attention was completely captured by Long Wen.
Don’t be fooled by this senior’s gentle demeanor—her questions were anything but gentle.
In fact, there was a hidden edge to them, and her hand never let go of Luo Shuangyue’s wrist.
Luo Shuangyue had no doubt that if she gave even the slightest wrong answer, this smiling senior would immediately pin her to the ground and drag her back to the Magic Department for a proper interrogation.
Fortunately, when it came to the Snake Fang incident, Luo Shuangyue’s conscience was clear.
Her goal had always been to drive out Snake Fang.
As for what happened afterward, it really had nothing to do with her.
