Reconnaissance was proceeding smoothly.
Yijinmo’s abilities were sufficient to roughly scan every corner of the entire sanatorium.
If there was any suspicious area, she could immediately notify Yin wu Xingdong for a personal inspection.
The two of them worked together seamlessly, not even missing the Shuangmawei hiding in the sewers.
This greatly eased things for Vita and the others, who no longer had to foolishly wander upstairs but could instead head straight to the most mysterious underground levels.
But before that…
“Calling headquarters, we’ve been attacked by a weirdo! Need urgent backup! Urgent backup!!”
After waiting a long time, the channel was still filled with static. Captain Miss was sweating profusely. All external communication channels had been severely disrupted, even the hidden phone lines deployed as a backup had been cut.
“Stop calling, stop calling. Even if you scream yourself hoarse, no one can get reinforcements.”
A pink head suddenly appeared before her eyes, startling her so much she fell backward onto the ground.
Before she could react, tentacles had already wrapped around her ankles, hoisting her upside down.
Outside, Little Sister Yi had already transformed into a jamming tower, completely isolating the sanatorium from the outside world. No message could get out.
Facing the four bizarre girls before her, each with different looks, Captain Miss had turned pale.
“Guh, just kill me, I won’t say anything!”
“Kill you?”
“Hehe, our great Commander Raiden would never commit such a sinful act.”
“At most, we’d just turn you into a dumb fool who only knows how to giggle all day.”
The slimy tentacles pressed against Captain Miss’s fair cheeks, deliberately brushing across her lips, making their intentions clear.
“!!?”
No wonder the legendary Raiden weirdo was so utterly wicked!!
“But our great and merciful Commander Raiden will also give the lost lambs a chance at awakening. If you tell us the purpose of this sanatorium and the whereabouts of the contained monsters, maybe we’ll let you go.”
“I…I…”
“I’m telling you…”
Three thousand a month isn’t worth risking your life.
If she turned into a perverted fool like her subordinates, her life would be spent in the pleasure district for sure.
“This is Raiden Company’s experimental base… All the monsters caught by the task force are sent here.”
“Some monsters come from official channels… The company cooperates with the police, and after being defeated and contained by the magical girls, those monsters are also sent here…”
“So that means your underground area is a research base?”
“…Y-Yes, I suppose so.”
“Hm? So unsure?”
“We’re only responsible for security on the upper floors. We don’t have permission to enter the underground lab…”
I see.
“Little Sister Yi, did you hear all that?”
“I did.”
The upper and lower floors of the sanatorium were indeed separated.
The moment the surface was attacked, the entrance to the underground was shut from below.
But unfortunately, they used electronic locks, which were as easy for Yijinmo to unlock as putting on underwear.
“According to you, all the monsters are underground?”
“Y-Yes!”
“How many in total?”
“…Four. Since we only started officially containing monsters last week, the number is limited. But recently, one was taken away.”
That matches—the one taken away must be the Flame Monster.
“Not bad, big sis, you’re cooperating well.”
“Th-Then… can you let me go now…?”
“Of course—”
“Nope.”
With just a few moves, the tentacles stripped Captain Miss naked and tossed her to her teammates. The pink gas enveloped them once more.
“Have fun in the pleasure shop from now on~”
The three behind shrank back, trying to keep their distance from Vita.
Nobody wanted to be twisted into a plush ball by tentacles and sent off to a pleasure shop.
…………
“Beep beep.”
The signal light on the iron gate switched from red to green.
What should have been a solid security barrier was completely disabled under the control of a black-haired girl.
Vita and the others swaggered straight into the underground laboratory.
“This place is pretty spacious…”
The white lights were somewhat dazzling, but after a while, it became bearable.
It looked empty inside, but at Yijinmo’s prompt, little Vita naturally walked to a wall and reached out to touch it.
“Break!”
A tentacle rammed into the wall behind her, collapsing it and revealing the terrified lab coats behind.
“Little sisters, go!”
Crossing her arms, the little girl was lifted by the tentacles. Facing these weaklings, she didn’t even need to fight—she could leave it to the little sisters to handle.
But as she carefully scanned the crowd, she didn’t find the Dr. Wang mentioned by Little Sister Yi.
“Hey, Chunfeng-chan, ask which one of them is the leader.”
Chunfeng nodded and randomly grabbed one lab coat.
“Which one of you is in charge?”
After a few seconds of trembling silence, Chunfeng pulled a handgun from one of the guards she had searched earlier and fired at the person’s thigh.
“I’ll ask again, who is your leader?”
Like trash, she tossed the wounded lab coat aside, then lazily aimed the still-warm gun at another.
Seeing their hesitation, another shot rang out.
“Bang!”
“Wow, she’s really ruthless, huh?”
Liu Yulan watched the scene, leaning close to Gangci’s ear. She had thought this quiet blonde weirdo might be a well-behaved girl…
But unexpectedly, she fired without batting an eye. If it weren’t for Commander Raiden’s order forbidding them from killing lightly, she would have believed Chunfeng would shoot them in the head.
“That’s normal, normal. Chunfeng’s just the type who bottlenecks emotions inside, and people like that always need a place to vent.”
“To vent in such a way…”
But these people deserved it. Knowing how evil this all was yet still colluding with it—they had it coming.
Under the threat of death, the lab coats finally stirred and pushed forward a woman in a suit, whose very appearance spoke of high status.
“You’re their leader?”
“I-I’m just a little assistant. I don’t know anything!”
“An assistant?”
Vita leaned forward, flashing a sweet smile.
“Then I’ll help you out, no need to be polite~”
Tentacles wrapped around the woman’s left arm and twisted it mercilessly.
“Ahhhhhh!!”
Her screams echoed through the entire lab.
Yin wu had also returned by this time. The ethereal black mist coalesced into human form, stepping beside Vita.
“I remember her. She’s always around Dr. Wang. This one must know a lot of inside information!”
“I-I…I’m not…I don’t know anything…”
“Still pretending to be clueless?”
