Chapter 31 First Negotiation
As the conversations in the classroom gradually turned into accusations against Huijin alone, Ke Mingye raised his eyebrows. He did remember the manslaughter of the magical girl Huijin a month ago.
At that time, she used the tip of Cinderella's umbrella to release a magic beam at the superhuman criminal "Ghost Hand Buddha", directly opening a large hole in the criminal's chest. The body of Ghost Hand Buddha slid down the glass curtain wall of a building, and blood flowed out, dyeing the entire high-rise red from top to bottom like a waterfall.
The scene was so horrific that it caused the people on the street to scream in fear.
In the video, Huijin was standing still in mid-air, silently looking at the river of blood smeared on the surface of the tall building, and quietly clenched the black umbrella.
It was as if he didn't realize that he had killed someone.
As for her identity, this is a commonplace issue.
Strictly speaking, Magical Girl Ash is not an official magical girl, because she has not registered her identity with the official. She just helps citizens spontaneously in a vigilante manner, and does not even receive any compensation.
But taking a step back, if she really chose to compromise and officially register her identity with the authorities, then with Ke Youqing's resources in the Super Hero Association, he would soon discover this matter.
Given how much he values his family, he would most likely take off his mask and come directly from the Super Hero Association next door, and use his tough attitude to force Bai Zini to give up and never step into the world of magical girls again.
At this moment, in the brightly lit classroom, despite being harshly reprimanded by the president of the Alliance, Huijin remained calm.
She rested her elbows on the table, the five fingers of her black leather gloves against her chin, and the index finger of her other hand gently drew circles on the table.
He snorted coldly and said, "I don't want my family to worry about me, and I don't need their support. What I don't want is for them to restrict my steps. This is why I hide my identity."
She paused, turned her face away, and her tone became even darker.
"Asking me to reveal my identity to the public is no different from asking me to wear handcuffs. If that's the case, I might as well stop being a so-called 'magical girl'. It's really troublesome."
“This is your duty,” Utena said as she opened her eyes and looked her straight in the face. “From the first day you became a magical girl, you should have followed the rules.”
"Why?"
As he spoke, Huijin raised his eyes from the table, met her gaze, and angrily asked, "Master San, who made the rules you mentioned? Those bastards who sit on our heads and do nothing but watch us work hard?"
Seeing this scene, the two new magical girls standing next to them were stunned and silent. It was the first time for them to see someone dare to talk back to Utena like this, and in such an aggressive tone.
“I advise you to be careful with your words and actions,” Utena said, “especially in public. Saying such things will not only put you in trouble, but also affect the image of the Alliance.”
The girl in the Gothic skirt across the table straightened up, leaned back in the chair, hugged her shoulders, and said unyieldingly:
"Why do I have to disclose my identity as a magical girl? Why can't I kill anyone? If I don't kill anyone, I might get killed. If I don't kill anyone, more people will die in front of me. I had to cross that line, so do I have to be punished? Do you want to see him kill more citizens before I take action? I don't mind. Maybe a few more deaths will prove that I'm right."
At the end of her speech, she tilted her head and sneered coldly, and her black hair as bright as lead powder fell down at an angle.
After hearing these radical remarks, Xiziyue ate the rice dumplings with an expressionless face, and Utina also remained silent. They didn't take it seriously, as if they were watching a rebellious child making a scene.
They both glanced at Lily who was sitting in the middle, as if waiting for her to speak.
"Well, let's put all this aside for now." Lilai said slowly. After a moment of silence, she suddenly asked coldly, "You come here for a meeting now, and you still remember to bring a witness to the hearing?"
Upon hearing this, Hui Jin turned his head to look at the two newcomers sitting on his left and right, and asked in confusion: "Didn't you ask me to bring them here, Second Master?"
"I don't mean them. Please explain to me who was the person who was watching us from the window for so long?"
Lilai asked calmly, her chin in her hand, her eyes slanting towards the corner of the window, meeting the sight of the trickster puppet. "I thought you didn't notice, and I was wondering if I should mention it," Utena said.
"Come to think of it, I've been curious since a while ago about what that thing hanging outside the window is. It looks like a big spider and it really affects my appetite." Xiziyue also said.
Has this been discovered?
Ke Mingye looked at the person known as the "Ice Witch" through the doll, and his mood was calm.
In fact, he was not surprised at all that he was discovered. It was normal to be discovered. After all, he didn't even use any "invisibility" skills. He just lay by the window and peeked in front of a group of the world's top powers. This was no different from squatting next to them openly.
He was just waiting for these people to expose him. If not, then just let it go. He could remove the puppet at any time anyway, and he didn't have to worry about any information being leaked.
Since he had already made up his mind, at this moment, he ordered the puppet to loosen the spider silk that connected to the rooftop railing, and the puppet fell under the teaching building and disappeared into the night.
Huijin finally reacted and suddenly turned his head to look at the window where the noise came from. There was disbelief in his pupils at first, and then his face gradually darkened.
Lilai stared at her face, and added slowly, as if mocking her: "He followed you here, so you can handle it yourself and bring him to us."
Huijin was silent. She had nothing to say this time. She just looked back at Lilai with her eyes wandering. Her self-esteem was too strong, so she couldn't stand such a scene.
"My mistake. I won't make it again next time."
After saying that, the Cinderella in her hand flashed, and a strong airflow burst out from the tip of the umbrella, pushing her out like a cannonball. The glass window of the classroom shattered under the oncoming impact, opening the door for her to go out.
Cinderella opened fire at full power, and the umbrella spread out a wave-like ripple, driving the skirt of ash to fly, like a dark cloud quickly shuttling under the moon.
Soon, her eyes locked on a figure.
The figure relied on spider silk that came from nowhere to swing between high-rise buildings, and finally climbed up an elevated railway. He stuck the spider silk to the oncoming high-speed train, grabbed the spider silk and exerted force in an instant, then swung his body in an arc and leaped upward, landing above the train.
As if mocking the ashes, he stood motionless above the long steel dragon. He raised his hands and followed the high-speed train along the track, galloping over the prosperous downtown area.
"Not moving?"
The magical girl Ashes frowned and thought that something was wrong. It was as if this person was trying to trick her.
But she still chose to tilt the parachute backwards, and with the tip of the parachute pushing out a powerful stream of air, she was like a nail piercing through the night sky, shooting up dozens of meters and catching up with the high-speed train.
At this moment, the person on top of the train turned his head and looked at the fireworks emitted by the wheels rubbing against the rails, and looked at the slowly closing umbrella and the ashes falling above the high-speed rail.
The two men stood on the roof of the car and looked at each other amid the rumbling sound of the engine.
"Do you think you can get away by boarding a high-speed train?" Ashes said.
"No, I'm waiting for you." the other party said.
There will be another update later. We have advanced to the second round.
