Jin Luan’s phone was vibrating as well.
She had received a message and woke up too.
She glanced at her phone, then exchanged a look with Yin Lin.
She said, “There are more Demonic creature at the border, and they’re coordinating—three heads crossing the boundary together. Two of them are intermediate Demonic creature trying to enter the city. That area needs support.”
It was like an open strategy.
Two intermediate Demonic creature were not something humans could easily handle; it would require a heavy price.
It felt like they were forcing the Magical Girls to go support there.
Once the Magical Girls left, the Cheng Shi Fang Yu would weaken.
If they didn’t go, they could only watch the Demonic creature run rampant.
Jin Luan found herself in a tough dilemma.
She knew this might still be a Feng Xian strategy, but she couldn’t help wanting to head out to support the suburbs.
Huang Yi had already requested help, indicating they were close to being overwhelmed.
If they could still hold on, Huang Yi wouldn’t have asked for help knowing it might be a Feng Xian.
“You go. I’ll watch over the city here.”
“I’m not too confident about you handling this side. If it’s another Feng Xian, the stuff inside the city might be beyond your capacity.”
“I’ll just stay in the air and not come down.”
After a few minutes of persuasion, Jin Luan finally agreed.
Jin Luan called Huan Hong over and assigned her as her bodyguard.
Among the three sisters—Jin Luan, Yin Lin, and Huan Hong—the fastest at dealing with intermediate Demonic creature was Jin Luan, then Yin Lin, and lastly Huan Hong.
Huan Hong’s combat strength was too low; it was uncertain if she could even defeat intermediate Demonic creature.
Sending her to the suburbs to face intermediate Demonic creature while also dealing with a failed team? That would be too much for Huan Hong.
However, having Huan Hong as Yin Lin’s bodyguard was a better choice.
With those two guarding the city, Jin Luan could feel more at ease.
At 2 AM, Jin Luan set out toward the suburbs.
Yin Lin was yawning while patrolling the sky, keeping a wide berth when she saw helicopters, afraid of being attacked.
She could somewhat understand how some Ootuman felt—fighting monsters but also being attacked by humans. It wasn’t fear of humans; after all, one slap could wipe out an entire squad.
They couldn’t kill humans, nor did they want to be attacked by them.
To balance this relationship, their usual behavior had to be very careful.
She envied the legendary Magical Girl Hei Huang a little—killing without hesitation and doing things her own way.
After twenty minutes of patrolling, Huan Hong finally arrived, gathering on the rooftop near where she had last fought Lightning Man.
Being able to reach anywhere at will was truly enjoyable.
“Yo, good evening.” Huan Hong landed on the rooftop.
“Hey.” Yin Lin waved back.
“I was talking to you all yesterday about that thing. What do you think?” Huan Hong looked expectant.
Yin Lin: “I don’t understand. Speak in Mandarin.”
Huan Hong: “I mean the form I sent on the phone yesterday. What do you all think?”
“Honestly, it’s abstract, kind of like nonsense.” Yin Lin spoke bluntly.
Huan Hong immediately frowned. “I’m serious. I’ve thought carefully about our combat form. If we want 1 + 1 to be greater than 2, we need formations.”
Yin Lin took off and resumed patrolling.
Huan Hong followed, babbling next to her ear: “Listen, we need formations to maximize our strengths. I think the fighter formation and the charge formation are both perfect.”
Yin Lin replied, “Ever played bowling? With the combat power of Demonic creature, if we huddle together, it’s basically handing them a triple knockout.”
The combined weight of the three sisters was about 140 kg.
Scattered and doing their own thing was the Full Sky of Stars, allowing each to use their strengths.
Gathered together, they were just a Lump Formation, with no one shining.
From this perspective, Huan Hong was indeed a child, not thinking things through thoroughly.
Huan Hong still refused to give up, incessantly talking about formations on the way.
She was actually quite helpless.
Her strength was too weak.
If Yin Lin didn’t activate her shield, Huan Hong could bully her a bit.
If Yin Lin was serious and had her shield up, Huan Hong was the weakest in this small group—unable to beat anyone.
She hadn’t felt so ashamed when compared to Jin Luan before, but now with Yin Lin, who hadn’t debuted long ago, surpassing her, Huan Hong was getting anxious.
She wanted to become stronger, and the only method she could think of was setting up a formation.
It sounded ridiculous, but that was the best quick solution her mind could come up with.
“Shut up!” Yin Lin suddenly shouted.
Huan Hong closed her mouth and floated silently in the air.
Yin Lin frowned, “Do you feel it?”
Huan Hong shook her head, “No.”
Yin Lin’s face grew serious. “Big sister really is trash. Just now, I sensed that thing coming, but I don’t know where it’s hiding. For a split second, I felt a magic fluctuation.”
The more Yin Lin said this, the more reluctant Huan Hong felt.
This little silver-haired girl possessed an incredibly terrifying magic reserve, the largest mana bar Huan Hong had ever seen in a Magical Girl.
Her magic cannon’s power was enormous, the strongest destructive force Huan Hong had witnessed.
Plus, her divine sensing ability was phenomenal—able to detect Demonic creature across a vast area, even sensing subtle magic fluctuations.
She was like a chosen one.
Watching the silver-haired girl speed up, Huan Hong followed with mixed feelings.
They continued patrolling.
Near the city center, the magical fluctuation they sensed earlier seemed to be nearby.
Yin Lin had more to say—what she sensed was the aura of a Transmission, similar to the magic she detected near the Contract Goddess’s Rift.
The guy who used gravity magic emitted that kind of magic fluctuation just before being blasted by the magic cannon.
But now, there was nothing.
Yin Lin slowly descended, seemingly to check the ground.
“Hey, little one, isn’t this a bad idea? I promised Jin Luan we’d try not to touch the ground.” Huan Hong tried to stop her.
“Did we become Magical Girls to go sightseeing?” Yin Lin continued descending.
“When I debuted, you were still in elementary school. How do you talk to your elders like that?” Huan Hong’s voice rose a little.
Chasing after Yin Lin, they approached the ground together.
The streets were deserted at this hour—no taxis or pedestrians.
With Demonic creature incidents frequent, few people ventured out at night.
This made it easier for them to move through alleys and streets.
Huan Hong was scared.
She still remembered the images Yin Lin posted in the group—those disgusting scenes left Huan Hong unable to eat for two days.
Thinking about facing that creature soon, and with her poor sensing ability, fear gripped her.
She was afraid of suddenly being turned into cookies.
She grabbed Yin Lin’s clothes, unwilling to stray too far.
“What exactly are we looking for?” Huan Hong asked nervously. “I haven’t sensed anything.”
Yin Lin: “Who knows?”
Huan Hong: “Are we looking for Demonic creature?”
Yin Lin: “Not sure.”
Indeed, it was uncertain.
Yin Lin vaguely remembered the magic fluctuation was nearby, but they saw nothing in the alley.
Beside them stood an old, rundown building with an iron gate.
Using her phone to turn on her Handheld Light, Yin Lin shone it on the iron gate and found claw marks, along with some dents made by something gripping it tightly.
