You know, since ancient times, the battle between light and darkness has never ceased.
From gods and demons, immortals and demons, to today’s magical girls and monsters, the protagonists of this battle have changed round after round.
“But I always feel that the scope of our profession is too broad,” Fang Yutian couldn’t help but complain, standing on top of a sewer manhole.
At this time, he had transformed into the magical girl Red.
She twirled her hair around her fingers, while staring at Ibu sitting on the manhole cover.
“Magical girls fight for hope and happiness, no matter what the opponent is, as long as it brings misfortune, then we must stand up,” the fluffy mascot said cutely.
“Extra pay for out-of-scope work.”
“What are you talking about?
Recently, there have been many missing persons, and the last eyewitness reports pointed out that girls were being taken away by tentacles.
Isn’t this the time for you, the magical girl Red, to take action?
Won’t your conscience hurt if you stand by and watch at this time?”
“No, I’m a magical girl, a race that’s especially vulnerable to tentacle monsters, you want me to fight?
Seriously?”
“Sorry, I can’t imagine you losing,” Ibu gently shook its tail, saying this as a matter of course, just like the sun rising from the east.
“I’ve been doing this for so many years, what’s wrong with asking for a raise?”
“Okay, if you insist, I can consider applying to the committee,” Ibu’s fluffy face couldn’t show any expression, and said this sentence like a business.
Although Fang Yutian didn’t hold out hope for the raise, he wouldn’t really let this matter go.
He casually lifted the manhole cover and moved it aside.
From the sewer, came an unexpected fragrance?
This made Fang Yutian quickly cover his nose, and a gas mask appeared on his hand, which he wore on his face without hesitation, and jumped down.
A gust of cool wind whistled in her ears, messing up her beautiful long hair.
After a brief free fall, Red landed in the sewer, and then Red began to explore the vicinity.
She hadn’t walked a few steps when she found a woman lying on the ground.
She looked scarred, as if she had escaped a battle with difficulty.
The woman was about thirty years old, with a plump figure and a charming posture.
Her hands and clothes were covered with dirt and mucus, looking embarrassed.
Seeing this, Red quickly stepped forward to help the woman lying on the ground, and began to heal her with healing magic.
“Are you the magical girl Red?” The woman’s first words when she woke up and saw Red were this, “Can you please save my husband and son?”
The woman held Red’s hands with both hands, looking at her with eager eyes, and Red’s expression was slightly disappointed after hearing that the other party was already someone’s wife, but she quickly became serious again.
“Then can you tell me what happened?”
“The thing is, my husband is a sewer repairman, and he has been missing since three days ago.
I found his company, wanting to ask for my husband down there, but later I found out that I wasn’t the only one who had encountered the same thing.
Several other people disappeared with my husband.
The matter escalated to the point where the police came to negotiate, and the final result was to file a case for investigation first.
The matter had reached here and I couldn’t control it.”
“But my son knew about this and left a note saying “Don’t worry, Mom, I’ll bring Dad back” and left home.
Finally, in order to save them, I had no choice but to go down alone with a pipe, only to find that my husband and son were caught by a pile of tentacle traps,” at this point the woman couldn’t help but burst into tears.
Hearing this, Red realized that tentacle monsters also attacked men, feeling that both men and women were threatened, otherwise they wouldn’t be saved and let them have fun.
“Please, you must save them quickly, otherwise they will be drained.”
“They probably don’t want us to disturb them,” Red couldn’t help but think about what Ma Guohao’s expression would be if he was caught and drained, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
“That tentacle monster has been sucking their blood, they will die if this goes on.”
Hearing this, Red’s expression was serious, “Okay, lead the way quickly.”
Men, many men were not naked and trapped on tentacles.
Looking at the scene in front of her, Red only felt bored.
Just as she took out her magic wand, a light emerged from the ground.
In an instant, iron chains bound Red’s hands and feet, and then hung her in the air.
Red took a closer look and found that the chains were generated by magic.
“Hahaha, I didn’t expect the legendary monster nemesis Red to have this day,” a ball of flesh fell from the ceiling, connected to the top with a tentacle, moving in front of Red like a factory crane, and made a woman’s voice.
“Well done, b*tch.”
“Then Red, I’ve brought her to you, then quickly release my husband and son.”
“Okay, okay, I’ll fulfill your wish,” but in reality, it thought completely differently.
A flesh lantern rose from the tentacle-covered floor, emitting a large amount of pink mist.
The woman ran over quickly like she was possessed.
She hugged the lantern and said excitedly, “It’s okay, it’s okay, let’s go home.”
Completely unaware, she had already been entangled by several tentacles, one clamped firmly around her throat.
“You’re really cruel, didn’t you say you’d let her husband and children go?” Red said to the flesh ball while hanging in the air.
“Otherwise? What qualifications does she have to bargain with me?
Even if I don’t let them go, what can she do?
Let her come out to help me catch you, that’s her honor, what if I use her?”
“So what does the flesh ball miss plan to do after catching me, drain me?” Red said in a provocative tone.
“You still want to be stubborn at this point, I want to know if you can still keep the smugness on your face in a while,” more black spikes grew from the flesh ball.
“Of course I can,” Red’s tone was unquestionable, and then Red used extremely pure telekinesis to destroy the chains.
“What a joke, a magical girl trapped by the sealing magic chain can’t use even a little bit of power, how did you do it?” The voice came from the flesh ball.
“Indeed, I can’t use a magical girl’s power at all. Just maintaining the transformation is already a struggle.”
“Then how did you do it, break free from it, it’s impossible to do it with the power of ordinary people.”
“Guess.”
“Wait, I still have…”
Before the flesh ball miss could finish her words, she was blown to pieces from the inside out by invisible telekinesis.
At this moment, the men who were locked by the tentacles all fell from the ceiling.
Red just held them up with telekinesis and didn’t reach out to them.
And the woman was still happily hugging the lantern, with a smile on her face.
“So that mist is to make people hallucinate,” Ma Guohao couldn’t help but ask when he heard this.
“Is that what you care about?”
When Red had just carried the woman out of the sewer, she saw Ma Guohao jogging past here.
The two of them chatted up and came up.
“You should care about is, there are several men staying there, do you want me to carry them out myself, didn’t you say you want to help me?” Red couldn’t help but start to use this free labor.
“Okay,” Ma Guohao just wanted to rush into the sewer when Red pulled him back.
“And bring the mask by the way,” Red said, taking off the mask on her face and handing it to Ma Guohao.
Ma Guohao looked at the mask in his hand, and then looked at Red, not knowing what to do.
“Disgusted?”
“No, how could I be.”
So Ma Guohao quickly put on the mask and went down the sewer.
