Chapter 631 - 199: Defeating All of Southern China with the Power of Demon Slaughter
"I just want to know, you really have the proper method to use that thing, right?"
Jia Lan pushed away the chair beneath her and stood up, squatting down beside Shuo Ye, "There are too many monsters and demons coming from Southern China. Among all the strange things brought by the world ghosts, only that Dream Marrow leaves me baffled, structuring the collision fragments of a magical girl’s personal reality into a [substance]."
"The only usage is the small enhancement of a magical girl’s personal reality as stated by the South China Disaster Strategy Bureau, but it isn’t worth you taking such a great risk, is it?"
"How did you find out?"
"Guess who has been behind the rise of the equivalent level competitions in Southern China over the past few years besides the annual [Eternal Magic Abyss Finals]?" Jia Lan pinched her cheek, "The funding for this mid-season competition, it was all provided by me, and I found the venue too."
Shuo Ye suddenly felt relieved and smiled.
Initially worried that she might have slipped up on the way, it turned out she had fallen into a trap from the beginning.
What’s there to say now.
Accept it then.
From start to finish, she never stood a chance...
"If you can tell me how to use it, I might be able to give you a chance."
Shuo Ye paused slightly, looked at her suspiciously, "Are you serious?"
"What do I gain from deceiving you, Miss Erin?"
Upon hearing her real name, Shuo Ye frowned, "Don’t call me by my real name."
Jia Lan smiled slightly, "Alright, Miss Shuo Ye. The rarity of the Dream Marrow existing as a substance, yet it’s only given as a competition reward because the real usage has never been found. If you don’t want it to slowly dissipate, it can only be rewarded to the winning magical girl, allowing her to gain a slight enhancement."
"It’s okay to tell you a bit of the truth. The search for people who can use the Dream Marrow is a cooperative effort between the Disaster Strategy Bureau here and me. The magical girls of the South China Disaster Strategy Bureau also want a different path from Full Bloom."
Shuo Ye listened, stunned for a while, then mocked with a smile, "Things are really deep, the Disaster Strategy Bureau actually cooperates with the Witch Association, do the magical girls and the public in Southern China know about this?"
"You know, some things are best kept from the public," Jia Lan rocked the chair, "because they receive too little information and cannot understand the reasons behind certain things. But explaining everything would involve some potentially chaotic secrets, so whether for the Disaster Strategy Bureau or the public’s sake, it’s best to keep it hidden."
"People who deceive everyone always think they’re smart."
Shuo Ye got off the bed, and Misu sensibly let go of her, "But in the end, without exception, these people will regret their stupidity. I hope you won’t regret it."
"No need to wait, I regret it already, always have."
Jia Lan shrugged, "Every moment I regret every decision I’ve made before, but life’s about living through regrets to understand the weight of your choices."
"Ha..."
"Later, I’ll be waiting for you at the pier, the rest is up to you." Jia Lan waved her hand, "You better hurry up, Zi Yuan from Cyan Cloud Sect is elusive, and it’s suspicious that the magical girls from Beihai Disaster Strategy Bureau are here too. Who knows if Cyan Cloud will show up, so you’d better be careful."
"Are you witches always this timid?"
"Ha." Jia Lan let out a cold laugh, "Talk big once you’ve seen it, assuming you live to see me."
Watching Jia Lan suddenly vanish, Shuo Ye said nothing, just looked at Misu beside her. The girl showed no signs of discomfort, simply waved her hand.
She even cheerfully came over to greet her, "Wow, so your real name is Erin, I always thought you were really called Shuo Ye."
"A magical girl’s name and real name are different, aren’t they all like this for you?"
"Oh, well, how to say, lately, fans often say when there are too many people, real names and magical girl names get mixed up, it’s hard to tell who’s who, so some parts of the South China Disaster Strategy Bureau are planning to change this..."
"Abandon the magical girl name and fight with real names? That’s truly brave."
Not afraid of being found at home by the Witch Association.
"How could that be." Misu chuckled, "It’s about using the magical girl name instead of the real name. For example, I’ve already given up my original name, I don’t even remember what it was, now I only have the magical girl name Misu."
"...Did your parents agree?"
"I think they would agree, after all, they’re dead, they can’t climb out of the grave to scold me, right?"
Oh, the classic orphan magical girl.
Erin didn’t plan to chat with her, got up, and dressed, "You better pray the magical girls in Southern China don’t find out about your involvement with the Witch Association."
"Doesn’t matter even if they do." Misu beamed, "At worst, get beaten to death. Without Sister Jia Lan, I would’ve died long ago, doesn’t matter."
Noticing the girl’s unusual mental state, Shuo Ye was too lazy to say more, "When Magic Girl Liu Li’s power spread out, if I remember correctly, Flower Fox and I both defended."
When that overwhelming magic power poured down, both Flower Fox and she quickly went into defense mode.
After all, Magic Girl Liu Li’s power was truly terrifying. Continuing to fight would have resulted in simultaneous elimination by Magic Girl Liu Li.
So both of them halted to brace for impact and then react.
Even though the power was terrifying, focusing on defense meant they wouldn’t be one-shotted.
