Regarding the technical principles of Thunder God Corporation, Yijinmo now had a rough understanding.
It was roughly like the way she previously intimidated Yae Sakura—using precise control over electrical signals to manipulate the human brain.
But if it were just that simple, then she herself could have controlled monsters like Thunder God Corporation did. Yet the reality was completely different. Even at her peak, she couldn’t achieve that.
The human brain’s structure was far too complex. Yijinmo had once poured over countless medical books and papers just to realize these seemingly simple operations.
You could say she could easily switch careers to become a neurologist now.
Even so, she could only manage the most superficial manipulations. Controlling a natural person with self-awareness was nothing but wishful thinking.
Not to mention the subject being a monster. To control monsters, besides electricity, one would need an in-depth understanding of the mysterious evil energy.
And for such an obscure company to come up with results like these was truly astonishing.
“Can I come along too?”
Faced with Luo Shiyun’s inquiry, the girl hesitated for a moment.
If she refused casually… Miss Luo would definitely become suspicious of her.
Girls going flower-picking together was a normal thing, but the abnormal part was… she wasn’t really going to pick flowers!
“Ah… well… um…”
A wife’s little thoughts were impossible to hide; Luo Shiyun knew this very well.
Flushed cheeks, wandering eyes, and restless hands… if she were to attend a lying contest, she’d definitely be laughed at.
“Forget it, I’m not in a rush anyway. You go ahead first, my dear. I’ll wait for you here.”
“Eh?”
The white-haired girl placed both hands on the table, her eyes shimmering with a calm yet gentle watery veil, as if capable of embracing all of her lover’s secrets.
“…But it might take a long time, you know.”
“No matter how long, I will wait right here for you. No matter how far, as long as you’re willing to turn back, you will see me.”
Once again taking the girl’s slender hand, this time Luo Shiyun carefully wrapped it in her palm, transmitting her modest warmth.
“I, Luo Shiyun, will never betray my promise—especially to you, whether in the past or in the future.”
“Miss Luo…”
“…Thank you. I’ll be back soon.”
Wah!
Why did Miss Luo shine like an angel all over?
So beautiful, so warm, making one involuntarily want to get close, to rely on her.
Is this what they call charisma?
Yijinmo had to admit, she was just about to be completely won over by Miss Luo’s sweet words.
Yet yesterday, this young lady was still a fool who chased after her all day shouting she wanted to marry her.
“The meeting will start soon. If you’re not back by then, I’ll go in first. But don’t worry, I’ll keep an eye out for some key information—it should help you.”
“Just as I said before, as your lover, I will always be your support.”
We are mere strangers passing by, yet you treat me as if I were your first love…
If it weren’t for unresolved attachments and lingering worries, with such earnest and devoted feelings, the free-spirited girl would probably have been captured by this tender embrace already.
…
The side entrance of White Night Castle was a mess after the battle between the Flame Monster and Scarlet Rose.
Firefighters hadn’t arrived yet, so the flames still showed no sign of dying down… but thankfully, the castle’s fire prevention system was excellent, preventing the fire from spreading indoors.
With a faint flash of electricity, Yijinmo appeared amidst the ruins of the previous battle.
Her speed was fast—almost at the moment she parted from Miss Luo, she transformed back into an electric current and dashed here.
It was this decisiveness that earned her a fresh catch.
“…Who are you?”
Scarlet Rose, kneeling and still catching her breath, looked surprised.
She could tell the black-haired girl before her was also a monster, but unlike the Flame Monster, this girl didn’t wear that strange helmet.
Moreover…
Alice’s gaze quietly dropped to the pair of well-endowed bunny ears.
The size—
Almost the same as the maid’s, a perfect married woman’s figure!
“Hey, aren’t you going to run when you see me?”
Yijinmo lifted her hand to her chin, her eyes filled with contempt that could stir excitement.
Without equipment, she was only at level 3, struggling even against ordinary magical girls, let alone a level 4 like Scarlet Rose.
But since she dared to come here, Yijinmo naturally had a trump card.
As long as Higanbana didn’t come to stir up trouble, taking the Flame Monster was almost guaranteed.
“…Who are you, and why should I run?”
Frowning, Alice stood up, ready to strike a fighting pose at any moment.
After the previous battle, she had already expended a lot of magic power… if she fought another monster now, she risked disintegration.
If she were a magical girl of the Association, she could simply call for reinforcements to gang up for justice.
But unfortunately, she was not.
Alice was a rather rare lone wolf… not because she was indifferent to the Association’s benefits, but due to the Augustine family’s rule forbidding the younger generation from joining any real power organizations.
“Who am I?”
“I’m the infamous, cute and charming villain of all Jiangnan City—Thunder Lightning Monster!”
“…”
“Never heard of you.”
Yijinmo was already too lazy to count how many times this had happened.
Well, whatever. When she watched the livestream in the banquet hall earlier, she had already figured out Scarlet Rose was an annoying outsider.
So, does Jiangnan City really have no locals left, damn it!
If someone who recognized the name Thunder Lightning Monster appeared now, Yijinmo would probably cry with joy for a very long time.
“Hmph, you’re ignorant… whatever, I never intended to introduce myself to you magical girls anyway.”
“But didn’t you just introduce yourself?”
“…That doesn’t count.”
“Ahem, anyway, I’m here to take this person with me. Do you have any objections? If not, I’m leaving.”
To ease the awkwardness, Yijinmo lightly cleared her throat and skillfully changed the topic.
“If I do have objections?”
Alice was ready to fight but knew nothing of the other’s combat style or abilities. Combined with her exhaustion, she was likely to be at a disadvantage.
But since she was called Thunder Lightning Monster, her powers must be electricity-related, right?
“Then tell me your objections.”
“But make it quick—I’m in a hurry.”
“…?”
The blonde girl’s head tilted in confusion. According to these Dongzhou people’s customs, if someone said they had objections, that usually meant a fight was about to start.
So what was going on? Why was this monster actually asking for her opinion?
“Hurry up, what are you standing there for? Hungry? Want to eat?”
“Ah, well, I think it should be like this first, then like that, and finally like this and that…”
Alice’s mind was blank. She hadn’t imagined such a scenario and was desperately trying to come up with nonsense when she suddenly realized the Thunder Girl was no longer in sight!
“Huh?!”
She quickly turned around, just in time to see the Thunder Girl carrying the Flame Monster on her shoulder and running away.
“Ke ke ke, didn’t expect that, silly magical girl.”
“This is my true escape route, nya!!”
