Chapter 54: True Learning Materials
No wonder Ning Ling just said something so strange.
But you need to clarify, what kind of fish are you talking about? Are you serious about this fish?
“Wait, you mentioned the Magical Girl Ning Xi, why haven’t I heard of her?”
Upon hearing such awful content, Luo Jialan also felt a wave of embarrassment.
It’s not that she was worried about having a blood relation with Ning Xi; after all, the deeds left behind by Luo Linglan after departing were quite notorious, akin to wild bees and butterflies, leaving no trace behind wherever she went.
It’s highly likely that Ning Xi is just one of the individuals who can reclaim some initiative.
Besides, whether it’s Ning Ling or that Ning Xi tied up in the café, their physical development doesn’t seem to match someone who could give birth to a person like Luo Jialan.
It can’t be that things have reached such extremes, right?
“Because Ning Xi is a Free Magical Girl, even the Combat Department doesn’t know her true identity, only that the Magical Girl code name is Ning Xi.”
Upon hearing this, Sumu couldn’t help but interject:
“Then does that mean we have an official Magical Girl here?”
“Not really. Strictly speaking, only the Magical Girls directly under the Combat Department have formal status. The Master is the highest authority in this city, and only she has that status; you all can be considered her private soldiers.”
What a strange statement. Just because my subordinate’s subordinate isn’t really my subordinate, right?
Before Sumu could ask further, her forehead was gently flicked by Luo Jialan.
“Stop interrupting.”
Sumu pouted in dissatisfaction.
But I’m just curious!
“Currently, the situation is that many Ning Xi experiment subjects have successfully entered the Combat Department, mostly dispersed to prevent resonance with each other, and individuals like No. 6 who escape are considered accidents.”
Sumu recalled Ning Xi’s appearance at the time, where she seemed completely unrecognizable and out of sorts, shaking her head.
These guys don’t look like the type who could easily enter work.
There’s something fishy about this.
After a moment of contemplation, Luo Jialan suddenly asked:
“Wait, do you all have some of their memories?”
Ning Ling tilted her head in another direction.
“Your question is quite strange. I’m not them; how would I know if they have memories?”
Hearing this, Luo Jialan took a deep breath.
“Can’t you speculate? Don’t they have part of Luo Linglan’s core?”
Ning Ling nodded thoughtfully.
“If you put it that way, perhaps there is a possibility.”
Seeing Ning Ling’s reaction, Luo Jialan’s expression suddenly sharpened.
She hadn’t referred to the Desire Witch by the name “Luo Linglan” before.
However, Ning Ling answered without hesitation, indicating that she was quite aware of it.
This is only logical, after all, she claims to possess a core related to restraint from Luo Linglan, and it’s very reasonable that she has memories of her.
But listening to her previous narrative, it seems she deliberately concealed this point.
Could it be that she doesn’t want others to know she actually has that part of the memory?
“What about you? What do you have in terms of Luo Linglan’s memories?”
Luo Jialan set some traps in her words while pretending to casually look into Ning Ling’s eyes to see if she was lying.
But Ning Ling’s expression remained natural, showing no signs of being hit in a sensitive spot, which made her a bit confused.
“Classified information.”
What? Classified information?
This answer left Luo Jialan astonished.
She had thought that if Ning Ling didn’t want to speak about it, she would outright deny having any memories, but unexpectedly, Ning Ling was annoyingly honest!
“So you actually have memories of Luo Linglan?”
“I didn’t say that.”
“If you don’t have them, how do you know her name?”
Upon hearing what Luo Jialan said, Ning Ling froze for a moment, then blinked.
“Sorry, who is Luo Linglan?”
Reacting this late is too fake, right!?
Luo Jialan was momentarily speechless, simply staring silently at Ning Ling. The latter wore a face as if she was a dead pig unafraid of boiling water, showing no hint of guilt whatsoever.
This girl not only has the kind of face that can utter outrageous statements without a change in expression, but she’s also the type to lie without thinking!
Suddenly, Ning Ling adopted a demeanor that Luo Jialan found extremely familiar, speaking words akin to another woman.
“Sorry, I’m not good with words.”
Luo Linglan often said this, although most of the time, it was followed by reprimands.
Starting with this phrase always feels strange, but every time Luo Linglan chastised Luo Jialan, it began this way, just with a slightly harsher tone.
Ning Ling didn’t continue; she simply said this lightly and left, acting like an NPC unwilling to continue the conversation.
Watching her walk toward the distant coastline, Luo Jialan didn’t stop her; she merely felt an inner conflict.
Could it be that this girl named Ning Ling retains all the memories of Luo Linglan before her complete fall?
Doesn’t that mean that woman never truly left, merely watching over her from somewhere not far away?
Ning Ling’s hot pot restaurant is located less than a street away from Heping Road, and for a Level C mutant, to detect everything in the Martial Arts Hall using magic perception is not difficult.
Unknowingly, Luo Jialan twisted the ends of her hair.
Although she has never been clear about how Luo Linglan viewed her, Luo Jialan herself doesn’t want to get involved with her again.
After all, she still hasn’t been able to escape the shadow of that time.
However, in her moment of thought, she inadvertently felt a chill by her side and realized that Sumu had already caught up.
What is she chasing after me for?
But Luo Jialan didn’t expect that Sumu was simply pursuing her for some unfinished personal grievances.
“Why are you still here?”
Ning Ling, who was tapped on the shoulder by Sumu, turned around, surprised.
“Haah, haah, I just wanted to ask a few more things…”
“I’ve said it’s classified.”
“No, I’m just curious if you still have the records of your confrontation with Tang Nai online; I’d like to see.”
Damn rabbit, let me see how I can turn the tables on you!
“Oh, about that? I’ve saved everything as study materials.”
Moments later, Sumu, thinking she had got something on her, started to chuckle to herself.
Let me see what you two were chatting about back then—
Gray Bunny: “Tomato hot pot clearly meets health standards; its antioxidant content is enough to eliminate free radicals by 75%, significantly higher than the spicy hot pot base, and it’s friendlier for those with sensitive stomachs.”
Ning Ling: “Spicy hot pot has a metabolic promotion effect, providing an energy expenditure equivalent to moderate-intensity exercise for 45 minutes, which the tomato base does not.”
What are you even talking about?!
Sumu sat stunned in place, lost in confusion.
Is this really how humans chat? They look more like two robots!
