Couldn’t you be a little gentler, Mo?

Oh, damn, I’m already dancing on the edge of death, again.

In the toilet of the Li Sizhuang Hotel, Kim Erise, having locked the door from the inside, breathlessly unfastened the belt holding a row of white balls.

She took out a white ball that felt slightly different from the others, and then, like a magician, conjured a crimson gem out of thin air.

Just as she had predicted—oh, no, even worse than she had predicted—this gem was already very cloudy, as if a glass full of clear water had been poured into a large box of ink.

The crimson light was already extremely dim, and it could extinguish at any moment.

This was her soul gem, and it also meant that the energy inside the soul gem was running out, and she must replenish it as quickly as possible by absorbing the energy from the Obsidian Seeds.

Otherwise, if she were to relax her will slightly or just a few more minutes, then the girl named Kim Erise would disappear forever from this world.

In her place, there would be a hideous creature, covered with twisted organs, viscous tentacles, and foul miasma—a false god that would not stop destroying everything until the end of the universe or until she was completely killed.

But it’s still good, she made it.

Taking out a small spinning top-shaped Obsidian Seed from another white ball, Kim Erise placed it on her soul gem and began to replenish the energy.

The bone-chilling cold in her body began to ease bit by bit, and the energy that was continuously draining was gradually recovering.

She exhaled a long breath and slumped to the ground, only then realizing that her clothes were completely soaked with sweat.

After circling around her head a few times, the death that was in the form of a black-winged angel, reluctantly flapped its black wings and left to find its next target.

It was really strange.

Although she had once again escaped the crisis of corruption and degeneration, the red-haired girl’s brows were furrowed, and she began to fall into thought.

Her soul gem was obviously very clear when she checked it yesterday morning.

Logically speaking, it could support her for a week, but she was about to run out of energy now.

How could this be?

For magical girls, transforming into battle form and healing their bodies were the two biggest consumers of energy.

She hadn’t fought a formal battle for a long time—that’s right, the few soldiers she beat up during the anti-espionage were not even a warm-up.

She hadn’t even used any weapons, and she had solved it with her fists—so it couldn’t have been the former.

Then only healing her body was left.

Wait, could it be that…

Thinking of this, Kim Erise quickly stood up, removed all her clothes, and examined herself carefully in the mirror.

What surprised her was that the rope marks, whip marks, burn marks, nail marks, chain marks, and everything else on her body, not only showed no signs of fading compared to this morning, but also added large areas of horrifying blue bruises.

And the area below was the disaster center, as if she had been poisoned by some strange poison.

She was completely different from the fair-skinned self she used to be.

The wounds are healing so slowly?

Her body as a magical girl was so strong that her endurance and healing speed far surpassed ordinary people—ordinary humans needed half a year to recover from a broken bone to about 70-80%, while magical girls only needed two or three days to be alive and kicking.

If there was a magical girl who specialized in healing to assist her, then a few minutes would be enough—but she had already been doing this for a day, and there was still no improvement in her physical condition.

In other words, just healing the scars on her body had already used up most of the energy inside the soul gem, and it didn’t seem to be showing any signs of improvement.

Coupled with the fact that the magical girls had a much faster recovery ability than humans…

Mo used deadly force on her last night?

Helplessly tapping her head, Kim Erise felt that she had a very bad headache.

Why can’t you be gentler, Mo?

No, after she went back tonight, she must talk to the other party about this kind of thing.

If the other party one day becomes so wild and does it again, and accidentally goes too far, and doesn’t have time to replenish the energy of the soul gem…

Then everything would be completely over.

Ten minutes later, the soul gem finally regained its radiant light, and the Obsidian Seed also began to gradually collapse and disintegrate until it finally turned into a pile of dust.

She gently blew it away, and it vanished into thin air, ceasing to exist.

Ah, she felt that the icy feeling inside her had completely melted, and she was fresh again.

The red-haired girl, who had regained her vitality, yawned, put the soul gem back into that white ball, and then casually fastened her belt.

As for why she had to do this in the toilet, it was simple—the soul gem was the magical girl’s lifeblood.

Once it was shattered, death was inevitable; even Jesus couldn’t save her, so she had to keep the location of her soul gem a secret, even from her most trusted best friends.

But, what would the false god formed by her corruption and degeneration look like?

She suddenly became curious, after escaping the catastrophe.

Hope it’s not too ugly.

After tidying up her clothes and making sure that all the scars on her body were covered by her clothes, Kim Erise, with a lollipop in her mouth, casually pushed open the door of the toilet.

She was a bit out of control just now, and now she had to go back and restore the domineering and nonchalant attitude she had maintained before, in order to re-take control of the situation.

Then, just as she walked out of the toilet, she unexpectedly saw Anjete and Zengman Yinying standing outside, seemingly waiting for her.

“What’s wrong? Do you two have anything… hey, hey, hey, don’t hug me!”

“Ah, sorry, sorry, Chief,” The brown-haired loli, who suddenly threw herself on the red-haired girl, quickly backed off after seeing the latter’s twisted expression, awkwardly tugging at her dark green skirt.

“I, I was too excited, just now, just now I thought the Chief was going to die. I, I’m so sorry…”

“Don’t worry, it’s just that I accidentally forgot to replenish the energy of the soul gem, it’s not a big deal,” seeing the large handful of Obsidian Seeds clutched in Anjete’s hand, Kim Erise grinned and unceremoniously rubbed the other person’s soft hair.

“Okay, put those seeds away, I have many, many, and I don’t need any help—but I’m still very grateful for your intention.”

“Chief’s hands are so warm and comfortable,” the brown-haired loli, closing her eyes, her face flushed with excitement.

“Ah, if the Chief could touch my head like this all day long, that would be great~”

“Hehe, that’s not okay, if I keep touching it, our little beauty will become bald.”

“Wow—I, I don’t want to be bald… but, but if the Chief likes it, then, then it’s no problem…”

The doctor, who was on the side, looked as if she wanted to say something but held back, but in the end she did not disturb the warm scene in front of her and prepared to leave first.

“Say whatever you want to say right here, doctor. Don’t be so reserved.”

The red-haired girl rubbed the lollipop on her lips with the hand she hadn’t used to touch her head and turned to look at the other person’s back.

“Ah…”

Zengman Yinying was stunned for a moment, and then turned to look at Kim Erise.

In a daze, the other person’s appearance overlapped with her deceased boyfriend’s in her eyes.

“That, in fact, if you feel uncomfortable or wronged about anything, you can also open your heart to me and confide in me,”

Putting her hand on her chest, the doctor shook her head fiercely to get rid of the illusion.

“Before I became a surgeon, I had always majored in medical psychology, so I’m still very confident in my ability to counsel others.”

“Ah, thank you for your kindness.”

The red-haired girl smiled slightly and expressed her gratitude, then cleanly and neatly refused: “But I don’t need comfort, and I don’t need to confide; those two words have been erased from my dictionary.”

“No, you really need it, esteemed Kim Erise,” The doctor, taking a step forward, said firmly.

“I can see that you’ve been holding on, not letting your weaknesses and vulnerabilities be exposed, but you don’t know that forcibly suppressing them will only make the situation worse—I, I’m really worried about your situation.

I don’t want to see another person I admire fall in front of me, so…”

“Oh? Do you want to come to my house and play together today? That’s fine.”

Kim Erise, who chuckled, ignored Zengman Yinying, nodded to Anjete, who was looking at her expectantly, and then held the hand of the cheering and jumping other girl.

“Ah…”

Zengman Yinying, realizing that she had been deliberately ignored, opened her mouth to say something, but the words were stuck in her throat and she couldn’t get them out.

“Doctor Zengman, I’m very happy that you can be so concerned about me.”

Tilting her head and looking at the beautiful and moving woman in front of her, Kim Erise first waved her hand, and then shrugged, looking unconcerned.

“But let the past be buried deep in your heart forever. If it must stir and break through, then just add a few more layers of soil on top.”

“But you are just a child, a teenage girl who is only 14 years old, a young girl in her prime!”

The red-haired girl, who hadn’t walked a few steps, stopped, turned her head and looked at Zengman Yinying, who was excited, and revealed an expressionless smile:

“From the moment I became a magical girl, I was destined to permanently say goodbye to my childhood.”
