Chapter 39: Unexpected
In order to conceal her identity, Luo Shuangyue actually has a spare phone, and the one she took out this time was naturally the backup phone.
Since it was a spare, it certainly wouldn’t be from a big brand; its main selling point was that it worked.
This inevitably caused Xia Mo to have doubts in her heart once again. It seemed that the Dark Butterfly’s poverty was not an act but genuine.
Wearing the same outfit for so many days and using the cheapest phone, she didn’t even have a membership for her communication app.
How could Xia Mo believe that someone like this was a cruel villain?
Look at other villains; what are they doing bad things for? Isn’t it all to satisfy their own desires?
And as for the Dark Butterfly, she didn’t seem to have done much wrong—at most, just attacking Magical Girls.
“I’ve sent you the location,” Luo Shuangyue said, unaware of how abstract her image had become in Xia Mo’s eyes.
After receiving the address sent by Luo Shuangyue, Xia Mo nodded and casually forwarded it to the Director, accompanied by a note.
“Director, I’ve found Dark Fang members at this location! Requesting support!”
After doing all this, Xia Mo curiously clicked on the Dark Butterfly’s profile, wanting to see the secrets behind this mysterious opponent.
But soon she was disappointed; the Dark Butterfly’s personal page and space could only be described as utterly clean, with nothing of value.
There wasn’t even a personal signature!
“You seem quite disappointed?” Noticing the look of disappointment on Xia Mo’s face, Luo Shuangyue was somewhat confused.
What happened that made Xia Mo show such an expression? Surely it couldn’t be that the Magic Department didn’t trust Xia Mo’s intel.
It couldn’t be, since although there were quite a few useless personnel in the Magic Department, they were quite competent at supporting Magical Girls in battle. As long as a Magical Girl asked for support, no matter how absurd the reason, the Magic Department would dispatch assistance.
At most, they would only slightly criticize the Magical Girl afterward if things weren’t as serious as they thought.
“You actually haven’t decorated your space!” Xia Mo turned her phone screen to show Luo Shuangyue, and the clean space almost made Xia Mo doubt if the Dark Butterfly was truly a girl.
Even if you’re a villain, you should at least write something in your space like, “The world has abandoned me!” or “I want this dark world to feel despair!”
Luo Shuangyue fell silent.
After a few seconds, she coldly said, “No wonder the current Magical Girls are worse than ever before.”
So this is what you usually care about, huh!
Xia Mo, your training the day after tomorrow will be doubled!
“Eh?” Xia Mo suddenly felt a chill down her spine, almost dropping her phone from her grasp.
Why did it feel like something terrifying was watching her…? Could the upcoming battle be very dangerous? Xia Mo thought to herself.
Hmm, it seems she would have to be more careful; a Magical Girl’s intuition is quite accurate.
…
“Hehe… Senior, you smell so nice…”
“It tastes sweet, like cake…”
Drool oozed from the corner of her mouth, slightly wetting the pillow as the girl in a white pajamas lay on her bed in a rather disheveled position, murmuring softly in her sleep.
From the sound, the dream she was having should be of a more girlish and sweet nature.
Unfortunately, this sweet dream was disturbed by a suddenly ringing harsh ringtone.
The phone placed on the bedside table began to vibrate, accompanied by a sharp sound only Magical Girls could hear.
Luo Shuangxing abruptly opened her eyes; although there was still some confusion in her light golden eyes, it disappeared within seconds after she picked up the phone.
As a Magical Girl, being woken in the middle of the night by a phone call was an experience one couldn’t avoid.
“Linglan, go to this location to support Rosemary.”
After answering the call, Luo Shuangxing heard the Director’s voice, and at the same time, an address was sent to her phone.
“Understood!”
Without asking why or who the enemy was, Luo Shuangxing rolled off the bed and, with somewhat clumsy movements, opened the window and jumped out.
“Ah! Transformation, transformation!”
Unlike Xia Mo, who completed her transformation the moment she left the window, Luo Shuangxing was a bit embarrassing—she didn’t realize she hadn’t transformed until she jumped out of the window and started free-falling.
Fortunately, the transformation speed of Magical Girls was very fast; otherwise, she would probably be the first Magical Girl hospitalized for forgetting to transform before falling.
Stabilizing her posture in the air, Luo Shuangxing completed her transformation, glanced at the address sent by the Director, and mentally estimated her speed.
“Director, I can get there in four minutes!”
“Good, Siam can arrive in three minutes… Rosemary, you hide for now, wait until Linglan and Siam arrive before taking action against those people.”
Clearly, Luo Shuangxing was not the only one communicating with the Director; Rosemary and Siam were also in this voice chat.
“You all enter the voice channel first; Rosemary will tell you what happened.”
…
“This is how it is, I discovered…” Upon entering the voice channel exclusively for the Magical Girls, Xia Mo concisely told her partners and the Director about the situation.
As she spoke, she glanced at the Dark Butterfly beside her, her eyes saying, ‘I didn’t say anything wrong, did I?’
Luo Shuangyue, who had snatched one of Xia Mo’s earbuds and stuffed it into her ear, nodded indifferently. You can say whatever you want; what do you need to ask me for?
As long as you can find a reason to trick your friends over, that’s enough.
“I’m currently outside the negotiation location between Dark Fang and Black Fire; they seem to be arguing intensely inside.” Pressing against the wall, Xia Mo quietly listened to the commotion inside.
The negotiation location between Dark Fang and Black Fire was a secret base of Black Fire; they seemed to believe that no one could find this place, so they completely did not suppress their voices.
Xia Mo heard the two groups inside arguing fiercely, which made her frown slightly at some of the obscene language.
“Their leader and several senior officials were caught a few days ago; now they’re in a leadership vacuum, right, that time.” Luo Shuangyue added quietly.
It was that time when Xia Mo blasted them with a mind-powered Magic Cannon; it was a mishap caused by Black Fire. To rescue their leader, several senior officials had somehow obtained a ‘General-class Monster Controller’ and ended up getting killed by the General-class Monster they summoned.
“Oh, so it’s them… eh? It seems like a fight broke out inside?!”
Before Xia Mo’s words finished, a shout erupted from that room, “Drink a toast but refuse, I see you’re tired of living!” and then a person suddenly broke through the wall and flew out.
