This is the inevitable final ending for magical girls

The hall fell silent.

Some people were whispering to each other, but more remained silent, either sipping their wine or eating the dishes on their plates.

Zengman Yinying held the necklace around her neck, gazing at the black and white photo of her boyfriend with deep affection, kissing it, and then continued to drink the soup in her bowl.

An Dingzhou slowly savored the champagne in his hand, appearing unruffled.

It was quite in line with the image of an old man who had seen a lot of ups and downs; his student and wife, Angelica, sat next to him, quietly discussing something with a woman next to them.

Katina was pulled away by the serious-faced Zhao Jiequan and Aimen, probably to be lectured outside.

Anjete was continuously rubbing her hands, staring intently at the black-haired, straight-haired girl.

The gloom in her eyes was exactly the same as when she looked down at Cheng in the hospital before.

Seeing that the other party had been pulled away, she also quickly jumped off the chair and followed silently.

Several people who had hesitated wanted to stand up, but were quickly pressed down by their companions, who whispered something in their ears. Then, they remained silent.

“Don’t force yourselves,” The red-haired girl slowly walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the increasingly deep blue sky outside, and took out a large stack of Obsidian Coins.

“If you want to leave, just take this money here.

You don’t have to worry about me using any tricks, because it’s completely unnecessary—the Community Party is not my final destination.

Regardless of whether I can get help from you, I will go to other places to find more people willing to help me.

It’s better to have you, but it doesn’t matter if you don’t.”

“However,” turning and sweeping the entire venue once again, she cleared her throat and began to raise her voice:

“If you are willing to stay, then please work with me wholeheartedly—you can hate me, resent me, and be hostile to me because of my past, and I won’t care at all, but if this personal resentment develops to the point of obstructing the reconstruction of Silver Shore City, then I’m sorry, there’s a set of punishments waiting for you.”

The hall fell silent again, with only the classical music from the speakers serving as a background, seeming somewhat out of place.

Ten minutes later, no one chose to leave.

It seemed that she could save all the travel expenses today.

“It seems that everyone has made their decision, thank you for your trust.”

Putting the lollipop she had finished eating into the trash can at a distance with that ever-accurate throw, the red-haired girl, having stashed away the money, took out a large stack of files from the small white ball on her waist and distributed them to everyone present:

“Then let’s start with the next stage: please answer the questions on the paper truthfully. T

he most important part is your previous work and the areas you are good at; please don’t exaggerate or conceal anything.

I will assign corresponding tasks according to your abilities.

I will officially take office as mayor in a month, and Silver Shore City, which faces many crises, is simply not ready to be re-operated now, so the task will be very arduous and very heavy.

If you have any difficulties in your work, feel free to raise them, and I will use the resources at hand to meet them as much as possible.

As I said before, I will never let anyone work for me for nothing, so regardless of whether you are as prepared to devote yourselves as your party program says, I will provide rewards.

The more you do, the more you get.

Using material rewards to stimulate and mobilize enthusiasm is quite in line with human nature, isn’t it? Okay, no more nonsense, everyone fill them in and hand them in to me.”

After completing a long speech, Kim Erise stretched, plopped back into her seat and prepared to eat again, but then bounced up again, rubbing her lower body with a mournful expression.

Damn, getting a little carried away while talking, forgetting about the injury that hadn’t recovered.

It’s been almost a day, and there’s not the slightest improvement. It’s too abnormal.

Let’s check it during this gap.

“Are you okay?” Zengman Yinying, since the red-haired girl had come to her room but had been unwilling to sit down, had already realized through her instinct as a doctor that the other person’s physical condition was definitely not good, and now the other person’s behavior had completely explained the problem, so she hurried over and supported her.

“I’m fine, just a small injury. I’ll go to the toilet to check, and I’ll be right back…”

Kim Erise’s words were interrupted halfway.

She suddenly felt a heavy feeling in her heart.

Then a chill erupted from within, beginning to spread to her entire body at an alarming speed, as if she were in an ice cave even though she was in the warm hotel, and it felt as if her blood had already frozen.

The red-haired girl fell weakly to the ground, and her breathing also became labored.

This unusual thing, does it mean…

“This is definitely not a minor injury!”

The doctor embraced the slightly swaying red-haired girl, and sharply refuted the other party’s perfunctory words:

“Quick, quick, come here, help me lift the esteemed Kim Erise to the nearby hospital—and ask where the nearest hospital is!”

Good heavens, the hall, which had been very quiet, instantly exploded.

Dozens of people jumped up from their seats, scrambling to run over and contribute to lifting her up.

Some also turned and ran to find the hotel attendants, trying to ask for the location of the nearest hospital and the shortest route to get there.

“Get away from me, this isn’t a big deal!”

Originally wanting to push away the people who were trying to help her up, but Kim Erise was afraid that she would use too much force if she wasn’t careful and cause injury, so she shouted loudly:

“I’ve been a magical girl for more than four years, and I’m very familiar with this experience—quickly make way for me, I need to go to the toilet to quickly solve this problem.

If you don’t let go, I won’t be able to hold out until I get to the hospital, and then, not to mention the great ideals, none of you here will survive!”

“That’s also fine—quick, lift the esteemed Kim Erise to the toilet!”

“You don’t need to lift me,” as if insulted, the red-haired girl gritted her teeth, ignoring the many people around her who were helping her and shoved them away, causing several people to fall on their faces.

“I can handle this situation myself, I don’t need anyone’s help!”

Then she stood up with all her might, pointed at the people standing in front, and said:

“I have to go to the toilet now. Make way for me immediately! Otherwise, you are responsible for the consequences if you get hit—five, four, three, two, one!” and she began to stumble and run toward the door of the hall.

The five-count countdown gave those around her ample time to react, and even those who didn’t react were pulled away by their companions in time, preventing a tragedy.

With the physical differences between a magical girl and an ordinary person, the latter would definitely be finished if the former directly ran into them after eating and drinking enough.

It was Anjete, who had been alerted by the commotion and had returned from outside, who couldn’t dodge in time and was bumped to the side by Kim Erise.

Her head hit the wall, but because she was a magical girl herself, she wasn’t injured at all.

However, because she didn’t react to what had happened, she sat leaning against the wall with a blank expression.

Zengman Yinying and several others had also wanted to chase after her to check the situation, but were stopped by An Dingzhou:

“Please be patient, everyone. Please trust the Chief in this matter. There will definitely be no problem.”

“But she…the esteemed Kim Erise…I always feel like she has some kind of serious illness, and I’m not reassured without checking.” The doctor expressed her concerns anxiously.

“It’s okay, that’s not a serious illness.”

Zhao Jiequan, who had come back from somewhere, took over the conversation.

He was followed by Aimen and Katina, who was lowering her head.

The latter’s face was swollen a large amount, and it was unknown whether the culprit was the two humans or the brown-haired loli who had secretly followed them earlier.

“Are you sure?”

“Yes, I’m sure,” he adjusted the round glasses on his nose, and his words were full of absolute confidence.

“After all, I was a senior special agent in the anti-espionage committee for two years, and I also came into contact with a lot of confidential information about magical girls—her problem is not something that we humans can help with, so she needs to solve it herself.”

Zengman Yinying pondered for a moment, then secretly pulled the other person aside.

“If you don’t mind, could you tell me? I, I don’t know why, but I’m really worried about her.”

“It’s nothing, anyway, we’re all old comrades, the problem isn’t big, but you have to be prepared.”

Then the man whispered in her ear:

“The life of a magical girl comes from something called a soul gem, which is their core and their soul.

As long as the soul gem doesn’t perish, they can be resurrected even if they’re chopped into meat paste.

The situation of Kim Erise just now is that the energy in her soul gem is about to run out, so she hurried to the toilet to replenish it with Obsidian Seeds.”

“Oh yes, I’ve seen these messages in the official explanations for magical girls: magical girls obtain Obsidian Seeds by killing false gods to replenish the energy consumed in the soul gem due to battle—but if the energy isn’t replenished in time, shouldn’t it just be that they can’t transform into a combat form?

But according to what she meant just now, it seems that it will be very serious?”

“Let alone serious, it’s simply despair. The official explanation deliberately hides the most important one—once the soul gem runs out of energy, the magical girl will fall and corrupt into a false god without any thought, destroying everything they see.”

“Wait, wait a minute…” The doctor was stunned in place.

“But, isn’t it said that the mission of magical girls is to eliminate false gods?”

“Then, where do you think the false gods are born?”

Zhao Jiequan smiled wryly, not knowing whether it was because of Zengman Yinying’s shock or because of the excessive irony of the truth:

“This is an unsolvable, dead cycle: once a magical girl is born, she must obtain Obsidian Seeds by continuously eliminating false gods to replenish the energy in her soul gem.

However, once there are too few false gods and too many magical girls in the world, many magical girls will corrupt into false gods because they can’t get enough Obsidian Seeds, and the energy in their soul gems runs out.

Under this cycle, a dynamic balance is reached.

This is an irreversible ending for all magical girls, and it is a fate they cannot avoid. The only difference is the matter of time.

They, in fact, are the false gods in the process of growing up.”
