Chapter 155: Time Rewound?
“Is this enough?”
Pabi said in a calm voice, as if it were effortless for him to produce these ten magic cores. This action made the knights opposite him stare wide-eyed, their faces filled with an almost crazed desire for magical energy!
It was because they lacked magical energy… The Blue Star Knights had fallen from being human protectors to merely cleaners of battlefields left by magical girls! It was precisely due to their glorious past fighting monsters that they now yearned even more for their former status! They longed for the unparalleled influence as human protectors!
Thus, their craving for magical energy had reached a frenzied level. If not for the scene of the black-armored knight exploding right before their eyes, they would have likely rushed forward to snatch the magic cores by now!
“That’s enough…”
Lante answered with an uncontrollable trembling voice, instructing his subordinates to take out a special storage box to put the magic cores in.
“I’m also very interested in your research.”
At this moment, Pabi continued, “Give me a way to contact you, so I can monitor the process and provide appropriate assistance when needed.”
“This…”
Hearing Pabi’s words, Lante instinctively paused. Seeing Lante’s reaction, Pabi smiled lightly, “Don’t worry, I’m not the kind of pure-hearted elf in fairy tales. I know what you’re doing. Even if you use human children for experiments, I won’t object.”
“!”
Upon hearing Pabi’s words, the black-armored knights behind him froze! Although most of them were heartless, the idea of using children for human experiments was still too heinous for most to bear, causing many to lower their heads…
“It’s all for the sake of protecting more lives; a few sacrifices are worth it.”
However, compared to the knights behind him, Lante had no qualms about it, “It’s great that the Elf Lord is so understanding. From now on, you can contact me using this…”
Saying this, Lante threw a special communicator to Pabi. Pabi caught it and then asked, “By the way, how much influence do you have over the media?”
“As long as it’s not a major social event, we can twist or hide the news.”
To this, Lante respectfully replied, “If the Elf Lord is interested, feel free to contact me at any time.”
“Very good, then let’s keep in touch.”
Pabi spoke calmly, then shifted his gaze downstairs…
Although I don’t think your influence surpasses Magical Girl Dream Moon, it’s fine to be interested… But I doubt we’ll ever need to use you.
—
Compared to the predicament of Feiren, Baiyu seemed quite relaxed. Since the influence of the magical girls had disappeared, the happiness index of the monster organization had greatly improved!
While the living conditions within the monster organization were decent, they couldn’t escape the reality of being forced to hide by magical girls. Now, however…
Last night, the Magic Crocodile Cadre had already taken down two underground casinos. The Black Bear Cadre had led his subordinates on a joyful team-building trip, and the Sea Shark Cadre had taken his subordinates to an amusement park they’d always wanted to visit, boosting the park’s income significantly!
Baiyu planned to take Lingli for a walk after breakfast. Right now, they were watching a TV program where the female host was reporting on events at Jinyun High School.
“What a brave stand in front of the monster organization…”
With his head resting on Lingli’s, Baiyu casually remarked, “I wonder what expression Liuliu would make if she saw this show…”
“Master, regarding Xiao Nai…”
At this moment, Lingli, who was serving as a human cushion for Baiyu, spoke up, “Did Pabi tell you which magic beast’s core was used to modify her magic core?”
In recent days, Baiyu had already shared with Lingli the story of using the Judgment Chamber to imprison and interrogate Pabi. He shared almost everything with his absolutely loyal ‘dog,’ except for the fact that he came from another world.
“My mind was on you back then, so I just casually asked a few questions about your sister…”
In response, Baiyu shifted his position in Lingli’s arms and continued, “Your sister’s magic core… hmm, it was a Black Magic Snake.”
“Black… Black Magic Snake?”
Raising an eyebrow, Lingli found it hard to accept, “Isn’t that a rather common snake-type magic beast?”
Of course, there are gaps between different magic beasts. Simply put, if the amount of magical energy stored in their bodies is the same, then among the Purple Illusion Poison Cat, Ice Crystal Snow Wolf, and Black Magic Snake, the Purple Illusion Poison Cat would be first, followed closely by the Ice Crystal Snow Wolf, and the Black Magic Snake would be far behind.
Feiren, as a magical girl without the talent to condense magical energy, had a lower-grade magic core. Therefore, it was natural for Baiyu to underestimate Feiren, seeing her as just a naive girl driven by excessive justice.
However, no one could have imagined that this once underestimated girl would gradually surpass Baiyu’s expectations. The power she displayed yesterday had already caught Baiyu’s attention!
“If viewed from a third-person perspective, it seems that LiLi has had her time paused by her younger sister, though I’m not sure if it’s subjective or overall time…”
Muttering while eating, Baiyu occasionally commented, “From your own perspective, you were suddenly close to Feiren. This kind of power is quite terrifying in a certain sense.”
Compared to the time manipulation powers shown later, Feiren’s earlier petrification ability seemed less impressive. Moreover, the Magic Crocodile Cadre, who turned into a stone statue after Feiren left, had actually recovered, indicating that her petrification ability didn’t last long.
“Afterwards… yes, you were sent back in time by Feiren. She directly made your Eternal Ice Prison return to its origin.”
“However… I am very clear about the fact that my time was rewound, and I still remember activating the Eternal Ice Prison myself.”
Breathing slightly heavily, Lingli murmured softly, “Unlike when she paused both my body and consciousness earlier, she couldn’t rewind my consciousness state afterwards.”
