Chapter 25 A Chance Encounter
Wetland Park
Bai Yuzhe's ferocious and burly body reflected a dark luster under the sunlight, with a few thin, hair-like ends trembling slightly in the air, sensing the direction of the miasma.
One to say one,
The environment of the wetland park is excellent. Compared to the wetland park in the maple leaf area, the plants here are growing much more lushly.
The sunlight filtered through the intertwined branches and leaves, casting dappled light onto the moss-covered path.
The swamp waters reflected the shattered stars.
In the woods,
Faintly, one can hear the chirping of birds and the chirping of insects.
Bai Yuze took out his phone, snapped a few nice photos of the park, and then began recording his samples.
Miasma concentration in Wetland Iris (variant): 47 units/m³ (low); Tissue permeability: 18.3%; Abnormal metabolites: Neurotransmitter-like compounds detected; Note: Leaves exhibit a contraction response to tentacles.
......
I don't know how long I've been recording this.
The temperature of the surrounding air dropped without warning.
Almost the instant the temperature dropped, Bai Yuzhe noticed that water molecules in the air suddenly began to crystallize, with tiny ice crystals suspended like dust.
He looked up abruptly and saw that on the lake surface thirty meters away, space seemed to be folded by an invisible hand, and azure light patterns rippled outwards.
The magical girl Hydrangea slowly emerged from the flower bushes, and the water beneath her feet instantly froze, the ice reflecting a dazzling white light in the sunlight.
Let her bask in the afternoon sun.
The deep blue gradient magic dress shimmered with a pearly luster, while the metallic sheen of the silver-white light armor created a wonderful contrast with the warm sunlight.
Her waist-length, ice-blue hair was tied into a high ponytail at the back of her head, with a few strands brushing against her cheeks in the breeze.
Right now,
She was staring intently at the open hardcover notebook in her hand, seemingly taking notes.
Bai Yuze only glanced at it for half a second.
They then prepared to retreat.
His current status is no longer that of a model student at Dongqing University...
But the next second...
Hydrangea closed her notebook with a swift and decisive movement. She turned towards Bai Yuze, her icy blue pupils shrinking to pinpoints in the sunlight, like a cheetah locking onto its prey from the grassland.
Their gazes met in the air filled with floating ice crystals.
"The New Federation's Class S wanted criminal—Youlian?"
Upon hearing the other party's words,
Bai Yuze subconsciously scratched the back of his head, seemingly a little embarrassed, as if he had just robbed a bank and then bumped into the school beauty he had a crush on at the door:
"Hmm, am I that famous?"
The voice has not fallen,
The hydrangeas have already started to move.
She didn't say anything more, her hands clasped in front of her chest, her long, icy blue hair moving without wind, her ponytail billowing like a flag in the cold air.
Water molecules in the air condensed and reconstructed at an alarming rate, and the space behind her began to distort wildly.
"Frosty Shower, Cone Rain".
In an instant,
Centered on her,
The entire world within a fifty-meter radius began to freeze.
The trees were instantly covered with a thick layer of ice, the lake was frozen into a giant ice mirror in the blink of an eye, and the air itself solidified into countless suspended hexagonal ice crystals.
The temperature drops to minus 120 degrees Celsius in 0.3 seconds, a frigid zone where even steel would crack.
in the blink of an eye,
Thirty-six ice cones, each nearly half a meter long, condensed behind her, hovering in mid-air and slowly rotating, their tips aimed at Bai Yuze.
Whoosh!
Bai Yuzhe dared not confront her directly. As expected of the magical girl known as the Frost Princess, she was ruthless and didn't talk much.
hiss~
He liked it even more!
Bai Yuze did not take the ice spikes head-on.
His right hand wielded the scythe, its limbs slicing across his body with a swift motion.
It's not a block.
Instead, it drew an arc in the air.
With this movement, the pitch-black miasma at the fingertips was stretched into a thin black mist, two meters wide and one person tall, suspended in mid-air like a semi-transparent black curtain.
The first wave of ice cones crashed into the miasma.
There was no explosion.
It was not offset.
The speed of the icicle slowed down visibly, as if it were stuck into sticky glue.
The ice crystals on the surface of the cone began to melt instantly.
Do not,
To be precise, it wasn't melting, but rather being blackened by miasma. The icy blue, transparent icicles rapidly turned dark gray from their tips.
Some icicles have tiny black crystals growing on their surface.
It looks like it has burrs.
Some icicles began to twist and deform, changing from straight cones into curved hooks.
.......
however,
Bai Yuze had just blocked the first wave of ice spikes.
Whoosh!
The second wave of ice cones has arrived.
Bai Yuze raised his left hand, and another black mist membrane unfolded.
This time, he shaped the fog membrane into a funnel shape, with the larger opening facing the direction from which the icicle came and the smaller opening facing the open space to the side.
The ice cone was guided to change direction.
It shot into the lake with a "whoosh" sound, splashing up a cloud of mud and water.
He had just learned about the principles by which Ocasan controlled the miasma.
However, they are not very skilled at it.
otherwise,
He felt he could control the tainted ice crystals and fight back.
The two stared at each other from twenty meters away.
The hydrangea frowned slightly as it looked at its stained icicles.
She sensed it.
Although the icicles hadn't disappeared yet, they were no longer obeying her commands.
She stared at the hideous, terrifying figure thirty meters away, then glanced at the stained ice spikes beside her.
really,
S-class wanted criminals are not someone I can handle.
With the other party raising their hand,
His offensive was rendered ineffective.
The hydrangea maintained its hand seal posture, and its icy blue pupils slightly contracted.
The third wave of ice cones hung in mid-air.
It didn't go any further.
But she didn't turn and run away.
That would only expose your back to the other person, which is a really stupid move.
Hydrangea took a deep breath, and a sudden burst of icy energy erupted from her, instantly freezing the grass within ten meters into ice shards. Her long, icy blue hair danced wildly, and her hands began to form hand seals—the movements were deliberately slow, each gesture clear and powerful.
"Eternal Frost - A Hundred Flowers in Full Bloom!"
The voice rose,
Wandering through the wetland park.
in the blink of an eye,
The air behind her distorted, and hundreds of ice crystal petals condensed into shape, each the size of a palm with sharp edges, refracting dazzling rainbow light in the sunlight.
The petals spun and hummed, forming a giant, five-meter-diameter ice rose phantom that slowly bloomed in mid-air.
Full of momentum.
Thirty meters away,
Bai Yuze saw the sky filled with ice crystal petals and giant roses.
Are we going to risk our lives?
But that doesn't seem right either.
The illusory image of the ice rose behind his girlfriend was imposing, radiating a chilling aura...
Why isn't it much better than before?
And isn't this hand seal taking a bit too long...?
wrong,
The other team is waiting for their teammates!
The thought sent a chill down his spine.
Magical girls rarely act alone. Those two probing attacks just now were most likely just stalling for time, waiting for the magical girl squad to surround them!
Can't wait.
Bai Yuze suddenly let out a low roar, his voice deliberately hoarse and heavy.
The two sickle-like limbs on its back unfolded completely with a "whoosh," each extending to three meters in length. Sparks crackled at the joints, and the brightness was turned up to the maximum, dazzling even in the sunlight.
His claws clenched suddenly.
The blue light from the energy core in his chest surged, and black miasma erupted from his body, condensing into a black vortex three meters wide and two meters high in front of him.
The vortex spun slowly, its center unfathomably deep, its edges tearing at the light, even sucking in the air and making it disappear.
"Shadow Devour"
The words had barely left his lips when
The vortex pressed forward rapidly, swallowing up everything in its path. Grass, soil, and pebbles all disappeared, leaving behind smooth depressions.
The visual effects are top-notch.
The two were twenty meters apart. One had hundreds of ice crystal petals and a giant rose behind him, while the other had a black vortex in front of him that devoured everything.
Almost the instant Bai Yuze made his move, Hydrangea thrust both hands forward with a sudden burst of speed:
"go!"
A hundred ice crystal petals and rose phantoms shot out with a whoosh.
It crashed down on the black vortex, overwhelming everything in its path.
But the moment she shot out the ice crystal petals, the ice beneath her feet suddenly shattered, not forward, but backward.
The explosive force propelled her backward, and she turned around in mid-air, ice wings condensing behind her as she gave a powerful jolt.
Whoosh!
She transformed into a streak of azure light, not rushing towards Bai Yuze, but flying swiftly towards the woods on the west side of the wetland park, so fast that she left a sonic boom behind her.
At the same time.
Bai Yuze saw the flower petals flying towards him.
It moved too.
But it's not a defense.
The black vortex in front of him suddenly collapsed inward, shrinking rapidly from three meters wide to the size of a washbasin, and then with a "poof," it dissipated into black smoke.
The petals missed their target.
They all plunged into the ground, blasting up a patch of frozen soil.
As for him,
It had already been launched backwards before the vortex collapsed. Its two sickle-like segments slammed into the ground like poles, propelling it backwards like a cannonball.
People in the air,
Tentacles surged from behind, entangled the canopy of a large tree in the distance, and with a pull and a swing, it leaped dozens of meters in an instant.
He didn't even turn his head.
They sped straight towards the Flying Factory where Okasan was located.
Don't be fooled by the fact that they call him an S-class wanted criminal.
Awesome!
Actually,
He is the most outwardly strong but inwardly weak of all the notorious S-wan wanted criminals. The reason he became famous is mainly because those unseen Okasans of magical girls were killing people around him and keeping order.
Huhu~
A gentle breeze rustled by.
In the beautiful and tranquil wetland park, only a few hundred ice crystal petals remain stuck in the ground.
It slowly melts in the sunlight.
Thick, pale purple miasma remained in the depression, emitting wisps of black smoke.
In just a dozen seconds, the two were already two kilometers apart.
......
When Bai Yuze returned to the abandoned factory with the collected data, Ye Yue had already returned to her harmless black-haired girl appearance, and was lying lazily on a horizontal tree branch, comfortably rubbing her little belly.
I can tell,
Okasan ate a lot today.
I'm also very happy.
"Okasan, time to go home!"
"Little Sticky Rice Cake is back?"
Upon hearing Bai Yuze's voice, Ye Yue's eyes lit up, and she gracefully jumped down from the tree branch.
After landing,
She suddenly opened her mouth wide and pulled out several pieces of flesh and blood mixed with fragments of crystal cores from her throat, which were gently wriggling.
"Come on, little sticky rice cake, eat up. This is a special treat Mommy saved for you. Eating it will help you grow tall and strong quickly."
Bai Yuze stared at the few pieces of flesh that were still writhing and stretching.
His expression was somewhat subtle.
It's not that I dislike it,
From small to large,
He grew up eating mostly Okasan's leftovers until he was able to fully transform and that's when he gradually stopped.
But now, facing this feeding method again, he is somewhat unaccustomed to it.
He's not a child anymore.
not to mention,
He already has a magical girl he likes...
Ye Yue looked at Bai Yuze, who hadn't moved for a long time, and tears gradually welled up in her eyes, making her look like a wronged little girl.
"Little sticky rice cake...you're disgusted with old man?"
"No, no, it's just that I wanted to..."
Bai Yuzhe's gaze involuntarily drifted to the few strands of whiskers that were faintly visible beneath Ye Yue's skirt.
Ye Yue seemed to sense his gaze, a hint of understanding flashing in her eyes, but soon, a blush appeared on her cheeks:
"Even though you've grown up so much, you still love to act cute like a little kid. But what can I do? You'll always be my little darling. I'll feed you when we get home. Even if it's your grandpa outside... it'll be a little embarrassing."
finished,
Yeyue then swallowed the pieces of flesh and blood she had just eaten, and licked her lips as she did so.
"Forehead......"
Looking at Yeyue's cute and shy face,
Bai Yuze was somewhat surprised.
It turns out that Okasan,
Are there times when you feel embarrassed?
Join up with Okasan,
Bai Yuzhe then prepared to head home. Today, he planned to treat Lu Zihai to a meal and also to probe his situation.
nowadays,
What we can know is that
The other party is from the Containment Division of the Security Bureau, and it is very likely that they came to find me after the calamity occurred.
obviously,
Min Zhirou's fate will either be to be eaten by that Shadow Claw Beast.
Either their memories have been erased and they've been contained.
But regardless of the outcome
The security bureau will just register it briefly, that should be enough.
But if his identity were exposed, why would the other party want to share an apartment with him? They could just call a magical girl to physically eliminate him.
Bai Yuze thought for a while.
I just couldn't be bothered to think about it anymore.
When soldiers come, generals will block them; when water comes, earth will dam it.
It's just Hanjiang District.
He was still confident he could escape.
When Bai Yuze led Ye Yue back silently from the dark alleyway to the border of the Parrot District,
It was nearly dusk.
click-
The harsh sound of metal being pierced into the cement.
Ok,
Bai Yuzhe found some threaded steel bars and sealed the abandoned drainage outlet, partly to prevent people from going in, and partly to prevent the abyssal beast cubs inside from escaping.
He raised his head.
After confirming several times that there were no unfamiliar presences or cameras around, the terrifying and ferocious figure slowly began to shrink back.
The sharp scales melted away, revealing slightly disheveled black hair underneath. The pale purple flame in its eyes extinguished, returning to a warm, deep brown.
Ten seconds later,
The person standing there was an ordinary young man.
He was about 1.78 meters tall, wearing a faded gray shirt and jeans, with his black hair hanging messily over his forehead.
With a straight nose and clean features, his eyes and brows, while not stunning, were clear and handsome enough to catch people's eye on campus.
Bai Yuze raised his hand and touched the back of his neck to make sure everything was under control before letting out a soft breath.
"Okasan, we're getting ready to go home."
The evening breeze blew through the alleyway.
He looked like a college student who had just finished a odd job and was returning home.
