Listening to the conversation of these few people, Su Ziling casually took a sip of water.
Since she transformed using someone else’s Transformation Device, her appearance was actually different each time.
It would change according to the owner of the Transformation Device.
Simply put, if she used Su Xiaomeng’s Transformation Device to transform, she would take on her form.
But it wasn’t completely identical to Su Xiaomeng; rather, it was more like a kind of inverted change.
Su Ziling still hadn’t figured out what this change was all about.
Because of this, she was called “Protean Witch” by those Freaks, but likewise, she didn’t like that title.
But after overhearing the whispered conversation of Lin Yizhou and the other two, Su Ziling understood one thing.
That was that the Freaks seemed to have targeted her, and might even be looking for an opportunity to take her out.
Although this was a world of Magical Girls, Su Ziling guessed that the Magical Girls here were not the kind for children.
Because she had indeed heard of Magical Girls dying or going missing.
Of course, she had only heard about it, never actually seen it.
But regardless, she had already raised her guard.
After all, recalling the Magical Girl anime and novels from her previous life, Magical Girls were always high-ranking professions.
Especially after that guy with “void” in his name came out, Magical Girls went rushing headlong into dark, deep, and grim territory.
So Su Ziling had no reason not to act cautiously.
Just as she was about to continue eavesdropping,
Ring ring ring ring~
The class bell rang abruptly. The three of them immediately stood up upon hearing the bell and quickly left the classroom.
Su Ziling withdrew her mind, suppressed the surging thoughts, and quickly organized her textbooks. The urgent matter was to go home and discuss the maid cafe part-time job with her little sister.
After all, the alarm from the wallet was more realistic than the threat of the Freaks.
However, on her way home, she suddenly sensed the presence of a Magical Girl.
Listening carefully, there were very intense sounds of fighting not far away.
Faced with this sudden situation, Su Ziling hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided to go check.
No matter what, from the standpoint of being a Magical Girl, she couldn’t just sit back and do nothing.
Fortunately, the Transformation Device she borrowed from Su Xiaomeng yesterday had not yet been returned, and was now lying quietly in her bag.
Confirming that no one was paying attention, she quickly slipped into a dark alley.
“Transform!”
A faint light flashed, and the black-and-gold Spirit Garment instantly covered her body. Su Ziling looked down at her noticeably shrunken height and couldn’t help muttering softly, “This suddenly shorter perspective… it’s really annoying every time I use it.”
Suppressing this discomfort, she concealed her presence to the minimum, merging into the night like a true shadow, and swiftly moved towards the source of the energy eruption.
The sounds of fighting grew clearer, and the air was filled with scorching heat and the burnt smell of residual Mana.
Su Ziling silently arrived at the edge of the battlefield, hiding behind a broken wall. Looking closely, the one fighting the two Freaks was the original form of Magical Girl Meluko, if Su Ziling remembered correctly.
Her code name should be “Shining Justice,” and as for her name… it seemed to be Pei Keke.
Su Ziling sensed the Mana in the air and frowned slightly.
She could clearly feel that the two Freaks were much stronger than Pei Keke, but for some reason they were at a disadvantage in battle and were being forced back step by step under Pei Keke’s fierce attacks.
One of the Freaks, seeing that the situation was going against him, immediately rushed into the street, grabbed a passerby, and held him in front of him.
Just like in those cliched cop-and-robber movies, the Freak shouted and roared, as if trying to scare Pei Keke away.
Seeing this, just as Su Ziling was about to intervene, she saw two pink beams of light directly hit the Freak, sending him flying in a somewhat exaggerated manner.
Such a huge commotion naturally attracted a large crowd of onlookers, forcing Su Ziling to hide deeper into the darkness.
“Fall back!”
With Pei Keke’s crisp shout, pink light cannons fiercely struck the two Freaks, followed by two screams. The Freaks fell to the ground, unable to get up. Then came enthusiastic cheers from the crowd and looks of admiration comparable to being surrounded by stars.
All of this seemed so ordinary, but Su Ziling felt something was off.
The Freaks’ presence had not disappeared, and there was no sign from the Magical Girl Alliance of cleaning up the scene.
What was going on?
After the crowd of onlookers dispersed, she walked out of the shadows and came to Pei Keke.
“Senior!”
Upon seeing Su Ziling, Pei Keke seemed flustered for some reason at first, but she quickly canceled her transformation, ran over, and hugged her tightly.
“See that! Now I’m a Magical Girl who can stand on her own!”
Looking over the other girl after she canceled her transformation, Su Ziling finally remembered who this girl was.
The process of how Su Ziling and Pei Keke met was not complicated. Like with Su Lili, during a mission, she had coincidentally saved this girl and became the object of her admiration.
Now, she never expected that the other had also become a Magical Girl, and even the original form of Magical Girl Meluko.
“Did you not contact the Magical Girl Alliance to clean up the scene?”
“Ah… hahaha,” Pei Keke laughed awkwardly. “Seeing you, Senior, made me so excited that I almost forgot.”
With that, she took out her phone and seemed to make a call.
After finishing the call, Pei Keke eagerly invited.
“By the way, Senior, let’s have a meal together, as a way to repay you for saving me back then.”
“No need…”
“Don’t be polite!” Pei Keke grabbed Su Ziling’s hand. “You left too fast back then, so this time I naturally can’t let you get away.”
“No… I have things to do.”
Su Ziling’s mind was not on Pei Keke’s so-called repayment. She was more puzzled as to why the Freaks’ presence had not disappeared.
To ensure that her salary from the Magical Girl Alliance would be paid normally, she didn’t care about that and decided to chase after the situation.
“Hey hey hey! Senior, wait for me!”
Seeing Su Ziling walk so quickly, Pei Keke followed without a second thought.
However, compared to Su Ziling’s reaction, she was constantly looking around, as if worried about something.
Seeing her like this, Su Ziling couldn’t help asking.
“What’s wrong with you?”
“Uh…” Pei Keke said awkwardly, “This is my first time fighting alongside you, Senior. To be honest, I’m a bit nervous.”
As she spoke, she kept looking around, as if worried about something.
