The Anti-Counterrevolutionary Committee provides food and lodging

Mo stood in the middle of the bridge, silently staring at the soldiers five meters away who had surrounded them like an iron bucket.

Using the bridge railing behind her, she tried her best to shield the terrified doctor and the girl, while quickly thinking in her mind:

How to kill everyone here with zero casualties?

First, there were the roughly one hundred soldiers in front of her.

Killing them was simple: the exoskeleton armor, which greatly enhanced their physical abilities, could be crushed with a single kick of her foot; the bullets fired from their assault rifles were as weak and ineffective as cotton.

Then there were the armored vehicles and main battle tanks aiming at her from both ends of the bridge.

Dealing with them would be a bit tricky: a high-explosive round exploding nearby would produce shrapnel that would feel like needles, and the high temperature caused by the explosion could also burn her clothes;

If it were an armor-piercing round, hitting her directly might penetrate her defenses and cause wounds, and even if it didn’t detonate, she could still be knocked back, affecting the battle.

Fortunately, her mobility was high enough; dodging to a blind spot and then attacking in close combat would be highly effective.

Next were the helicopters hovering overhead.

Destroying them would be a challenge: although her jumping ability was extremely good, the enemy was also staying far away in the high altitude to prevent close-quarters attacks, equipped with aerial cannons that could cause quite a bit of trouble;

However, she also had long-range attack methods, which, although not as effective as close-range combat, she still had a chance to take them down.

Finally, there were the snipers hiding in the distant buildings.

Although she didn’t know how many there were or where they were distributed, they were undoubtedly the most threatening opponents:

Super-large caliber special bullets could not only penetrate her body but also shatter her magical girl’s only weakness—the soul gem—thereby killing her.

Even though the soul gem had been placed inside her body in a hidden location, coupled with her high mobility, it was double insurance, but she still couldn’t be careless.

After all, accidental hits were risks she couldn’t afford.

Thinking like this, it was possible to kill everyone on the scene, but she couldn’t protect the two ordinary people who had no combat ability.

Once they started fighting, their chances of dying were almost one hundred percent.

Not to mention, after such a bloody massacre, the already fragile relationship between the United Nations and the Autonomous Federation would certainly worsen.

Should she abandon the two of them and break out?

Or should she wait for Erise to come and support her, as she said?

Would those fanatics from the counter-espionage really give her this opportunity to wait?

What should I… do?

A jeep passed through the armed forces that were ready to go and stopped in front of Mo.

A deep gray military dress-wearing officer got out.

Judging from the general stars on his shoulder, he should be a colonel.

She couldn’t sense any danger from him.

Was it a disguise, or was there another conspiracy?

“Good evening, young lady.”

Leisurely adjusting the medals on his chest, the elderly colonel smiled kindly at the silver-haired girl and greeted her with a low, magnetic voice.

Mo didn’t move; she continued to maintain a state of alert, her gaze fixed on the man who, unlike other soldiers, wasn’t wearing an exoskeleton suit, wondering what the other party was up to.

“I am Stucoot, the commander-in-chief of the city defense forces stationed in this area,”

The colonel admired the slender chainsaw clutched tightly in the girl’s hands, the gothic lolita dress she had deliberately unbuttoned for combat, and the blades on her back arranged in a thousand-handed Guanyin formation, and performed a standard military salute,

“You are the most charming and handsome magical girl I’ve ever seen—I would really like to have dinner with you, if possible.”

The silver hair fluttered in the wind, and the red in the girl’s eyes became even more intense, which was the manifestation of her gathering killing intent—once there was any sudden situation, she would cut off the opponent’s head at the first opportunity.

“So, please allow me to explain the current situation to the beautiful magical girl,” gesturing to the soldiers around him to put down their weapons, Stucoot walked forward a few steps and stopped five meters away from Mo.

“We, in fact, have no malice towards you and do not intend to fight here to destroy the peace agreement signed more than a year ago.”

“However, the doctor behind you is a member of the Commonwealth Party, which has committed crimes against humanity and is very dangerous; she needs to be arrested immediately.

We hope the young lady can also abide by the peace agreement and not interfere in our internal affairs.

We will treat you politely afterwards…”

“You are slandering!” Doctor Zeng Man Yin Ying’s face was flushed with anger as she pointed at the man, while the girl was fearfully curled up in bed, covering herself with a blanket.

“The Commonwealth Party has never done anything against its conscience, and I am busy saving patients in the hospital every day.

What face do you have to call us criminals against humanity?!”

“Miss Zeng, calm down. If there is a misunderstanding here, we will take you back and investigate.

I guarantee that as long as you can prove that you are innocent, we will immediately release you and apologize.

How about that?”

The colonel said amicably, then signaled the soldiers around him to make way, and gestured to Mo to move.

“I believe that the young lady with extraordinary vision will not destroy the hard-earned peace for the sake of two unfamiliar civilians, right?”

“You’re lying! You counter-espionage committees are a bunch of bloodthirsty lunatics, in your eyes, there is no justice!”

The doctor’s hand trembled as she pointed at the man; she knew very well that once she went back, it would definitely be a dead end, so she had to retort firmly while there was still hope.

At the same time, she instinctively grabbed the silver-haired girl’s arm, not wanting this last straw to listen to the slander and leave her.

“After all, our job is to purge those who are against humanity, and a little blood is inevitable.

However, as I said before, it will never involve innocent people.

So, once the investigation proves that you are innocent, we will immediately…”

“That’s a good point, Mr. Colonel.”

A languid voice suddenly interrupted the general’s speech.

Then a red-haired girl jumped in from somewhere under the bridge and flipped over the bridge railing, standing next to Mo, immediately causing the soldiers to raise their guns and aim at her.

“However, Doctor Zeng is no longer a member of the Commonwealth Party—she has been formally hired as the chief physician of Yinbin City.”

The lollipop in her mouth bobbed up and down with the rhythm of Erise’s words, and she took out a file folder from her arms and threw it over, subtly gesturing to the astonished doctor behind her.

Stucoot, who caught the file folder, took out a pair of glasses from his pocket and read the paper clipped to it with the help of the dim streetlights installed on the bridge.

“As a new pilot city recognized and established by both sides,” she drew lines with the soles of her high heels on the sandy bridge surface, waved her hand, and wore a nonchalant expression,

“Mr. Colonel, who understands the big picture, will not hinder our recruitment efforts, right?”

“I see, I understand,” after carefully checking the official seal on the paper several times, the colonel smiled and returned it to Erise.

“Since it is a direct order from the Autonomous Federation Council, I will naturally not disturb you further.”

“However,” he turned the conversation and pointed to the girl still cowering in the hospital bed, trembling.

“The public reported that the girl is trying to illegally become a magical girl, which is extremely dangerous, so I still hope she can come with us for an investigation…”

This time it was Mo’s turn to interrupt Stucoot:

“Mr. Colonel, actually, she is our child.”

The air froze; everyone present, including Erise, were completely petrified.

“What did you say?” The general doubted his hearing, and adjusted his glasses and asked again.

“That girl,” the silver-haired girl, who had put down her chainsaw, gently embraced the red-haired girl, affectionately buried her head in the latter’s slightly bulging chest, and looked like a small bird clinging to her.

“We are the children who were just adopted from the orphanage because our life was too boring, right, Erise?”

She subtly pinched the other person’s arm.
