Holding the magic wand, he ran to the rooftop. After confirming no one was following, Song Wuli skillfully pulled out his magic wand.
“Magical girl, transform.”
It was still a bit embarrassing, but he recited the transformation incantation.
Light once again covered his entire body. The first change was that his height shrank a bit.
[Fast Forward 4x Speed]
His body size decreased, his panties fell off, his hair grew wildly and changed color. A skirt appeared, his original feet were replaced by high heels, and the magic wand turned into a double staff.
The light slowly faded, transformation complete. He collected Old Song’s panties, put them in a bag and hid it, then took the silver phone. After confirming no one was watching nearby, he took off and left the area.
Huan Hong headed to the southern border, while Yin Lin flew toward the northern border.
Even if there was a conspiracy, she still had to go, because of a simple logic: if she didn’t go, people in Jingcheng would most likely be killed. She had the invincible Tortoise Shell Shield. Even if she joined the battle, it would hardly be easy for her to die. So she would go. The logic was that simple.
As for whether this was a Feng Xian tactic—a diversion—or an ambush?
Even knowing it might be, she still had to go. Unless Huang Yi claimed he could handle the Demonic Creature in the north, but unfortunately he didn’t give any promise. Based on past experience, the Special Task Force and the Defeated Team could hardly quickly and unscathedly eliminate an Intermediate Evil Demon. There would inevitably be casualties.
Yin Lin increased her speed, activated the Feng Wall, and didn’t spare the massive consumption of her Blue Bar. She could afford this almost meaningless consumption; she had never run out of Blue Bar yet.
She also raised her flight altitude to an extremely high level to guard against sneak artillery attacks from the ground. Ever since she was hit by a shell the first time and walked through the Gates of Hell, she had always been on guard against this move from the enemy.
Taking a detour cost a bit more time. Ten minutes later, Yin Lin sensed the mana of a Demonic Creature heading toward them at high speed. The sound came from below. She moved closer, and after a while, continuous gunfire and cannon blasts could be heard. The sound was too familiar. It had to be the Special Task Force, not the Defeated Team.
She lowered her altitude, concentrated her perception on the surroundings, and guarded against a possible sneak attack at any moment. She also pulled the Feng Wall closer to shield her body, leaving only half her head exposed to see the way. The Magic Shield was already activated, providing full protection.
Now Yin Lin felt she could withstand a full-force sniper shot from a Senior Demonic Entity. Two shots probably wouldn’t be fatal—most likely medium or light injuries.
As soon as she approached the ground, someone fired a few shots at her. The bullets were blocked by the Feng Wall, and armor-piercing rounds made a small hole. The strength of the wall was exactly as Yin Lin had expected—neither overestimated nor underestimated.
She continued to observe the battle from a hundred meters high. The vehicle-mounted cannon was constantly chasing the Demonic Creature, which was running at over a hundred kilometers per hour, very ferocious. The Special Task Force members who had attacked Yin Lin earlier paid her no more attention and refocused on the Demonic Creature.
The vehicle-mounted cannon pursued relentlessly. They had rich experience dealing with Demonic Creatures and could barely keep up with the Intermediate Evil Demon’s speed. The off-road vehicle kept firing in bumpy terrain, with a hit rate of only about 2%, which looked quite dismal.
It only scraped off a layer of skin from the Demonic Creature, drawing a little blood. They mainly attacked the Demonic Creature’s legs to try to intercept it in the suburbs.
Yin Lin noticed obvious destruction along the path the Demonic Creature had taken. Houses of suburban citizens were destroyed. She didn’t know if there were any deaths yet, but she estimated residents had already received evacuation notices and gone underground.
There were also casualties among Special Task Force members along the way, with medical personnel providing treatment.
The situation on the main battlefield was still stable. It was unclear whether the Demonic Creature was fleeing or advancing. This time, the main combat force was the Special Task Force members using multi-rotor aircraft in the sky.
They could easily chase the Demonic Creature with their single-person aircraft, and seemed to be planning something.
When fighting in the sparsely populated suburbs, the Special Task Force used different weapons. Yin Lin noticed they were preparing something. Half a minute later, a large number of spherical devices were launched near the running Demonic Creature.
Upon hitting the ground, they exploded, instantly spewing out a large amount of green-yellow smoke. This smoke was not released slowly but instantly covered a large area—quite alarming in its power.
With the continuous projection by the Special Task Force, a poison mist belt two kilometers long appeared on the ground. Unfortunately, the Demonic Creature quickly rushed out of this area without any effect.
Yin Lin finally understood that the Special Task Force was testing a new type of biochemical weapon. But she didn’t understand why they hadn’t tested it before and were only doing it now. Had there been a recent technological breakthrough?
She was right this time. The Human Alliance had attempted biochemical weapons in the early years, but they had never been effective. It was only with a recent breakthrough that the Special Task Force was conducting field tests.
However, in an outdoor environment, the effect didn’t seem good. Yin Lin took a few photos and sent them to the group:
“Everyone be careful from now on. The Special Task Force is using biochemical weapons. It’s possible they’ll use them against us. This is indeed a very effective method against Magical Girls. Granny Huan Hong, keep your wits about you and don’t fall for it.”
Even Yin Lin herself might not be able to withstand it. The battle below continued. They kept using that green-yellow smoke and made two more rounds of projection. After confirming it was ineffective against the Demonic Creature, they switched to a second biochemical weapon. This time, it was a yellowish smoke, still with no effect.
Strangely, this time Yin Lin sensed something different—this yellow smoke carried a faint mana aura. She had seen the Defeated Team use mana-powered cannons before, and now she was seeing smoke with a mana aura.
Was this the latest weapon developed by the Human Alliance? Or had it existed long ago, but Magical Girls with weak perception couldn’t detect it? Yin Lin’s finger paused on Huang Yi’s avatar in her phone. She wanted to send a message to ask, but ultimately held back.
The battle below continued. They were still in the suburbs, and in nine minutes, they would enter a densely populated area. Yin Lin also began charging her attack, still using her familiar Magic Power Cannon.
She was now somewhat afraid of the “Spear of Creation.”
This attack had extremely high single-point damage and charged quickly, but it required precise aiming and high technical skill. Moreover, there was a possibility that the Demonic Creature could catch it and throw it back.
She was even a bit scared of her own magic. In comparison, the Magic Power Cannon gave her more of a sense of security.
Just as she started charging, the situation on the ground changed again—
The Demonic Creature’s running speed increased, kicking up a lot of dust and gravel.
Seeing this scene, Yin Lin recalled the Cadre-level Demonic Creature that once used a Heavy Gravity Pearl. That one also had a clear goal, just like the one below now. It behaved differently from previous Demonic Creatures, as if carrying out some mission.
Previous Demonic Creatures would simply kill—chase people, kill on sight, and counterattack when attacked. But this Demonic Creature rarely attacked the Special Task Force. It was clearly off.
Yin Lin immediately sent a message in the “Gold, Silver, and Red Sisterhood” group:
“This Demonic Creature today is off. It’s not an ordinary Intermediate Evil Demon. @Huan Hong”
