Chapter 340 Insults
On a desolate night, the ringing of the phone sounded particularly abrupt in the wilderness. Looking at the contact name "Seri-chan" on her phone, Bai Youqing fell silent.
She still chose to answer the phone, but almost the instant the call connected, instead of Hoshino Seri's gentle voice, she heard Kikyo's anxious questions.
"Hey, Violet Mage, how's things going on your end?"
"I'm so sorry, I was just held up by the Abyss Demoness. I'm on my way now. Please hold on a little longer, I'll be there soon."
"Miss Violet?"
It's clear that Kikyo was in a real hurry; she didn't even cancel her transformation before calling.
However, Bai Youqing had no idea how to answer the other party. If she was the one who suffered the most from her brother's death, then Hoshino-sensei would be the next most heartbroken.
"Miss Violet?"
The silence on the phone prompted Kikyo's anxious voice to ring out again, but there was still no reply.
After a few seconds of silence, the voice on the other end quietly changed to: "I'm coming right away."
After saying that, the other end of the phone hung up.
Almost two or three minutes after the phone call ended, a pure white light appeared on the distant horizon.
It's clear that Kikyo, the magician, arrived incredibly quickly.
Above the dim sky, the bright moon had emerged from behind the dark clouds, its silvery light bringing a sliver of brightness to the messy open space.
Kikyo, the magician, scanned the Kikyo Judgment Team members with her golden eyes, finally fixing her gaze on the hands of Bai You and the others, where a cell phone was placed.
Kikyo, the mage, frowned slightly, forcing a smile as she looked at the members of Kikyo's Judgment Squad, her tone as relaxed and natural as possible: "Where's Violet Mage? Is she busy with something?"
Hearing Kikyo's gentle words, the members of Kikyo's Judgment Squad lowered their heads. At that moment, their tears seemed to be uncontrollable, and large teardrops dripped onto the ground.
Seeing no one answer, the magician Kikyo approached Bai Youqing. At this moment, it seemed that only Bai Youqing's emotions remained relatively stable. Kikyo came to Bai Youqing's side and softly asked, "Green Ivy, what exactly happened just now? Where are those Abyss Demon Generals?"

""
Bai Youqing seemed to have lost her soul; her gaze was fixed on the phone screen in her palm, staring blankly into space.
Hearing the sound, the magician Kikyo looked down and saw that the phone was playing a live broadcast of the battle on Moon Mountain. Green Ivy, dressed in a light green dress, rushed into the horde of abyssal beasts, and a bright green light struck the neck of the gray-robed man.
However, the murderous intent that was closely following her arrived.
At this critical moment, a petite figure in pale purple suddenly appeared behind the emerald green figure. Thousands of tentacles, like sharp thorns, pierced through the pale purple magical barrier and went straight through Violet's petite body.
If that were all, it would be fine, but the next second, boom!
That petite body exploded instantly, turning into blood-red raindrops in the starry sky.
In addition to the magical girl battle scenes, the live stream also showed the barrage of comments from the viewers. Almost the instant Violet died, the entire screen was flooded with comments.
"No, I just finished watching Violet Wizard Rise like a protagonist yesterday, and you want me to watch this today?"
"Holy crap, the Violet Mage is amazing! She's holding her own against two opponents! Wait, what the hell is this?! She's not going to die like this?!"
"What's the name of that pale green magical girl? How can she be a magical girl?! Could she be a spy sent from the Abyss?! I suggest a thorough investigation!"
"The flower name of that light green magical girl seems to be Green Ivy. Could someone please open the box?"
"Damn it! If it weren't for her, the Violet Mage would never have died. She was almost killing that Abyss Demon General!"
"I'm not afraid of god-like enemies, but I'm terrified of pig-like teammates. That damned magical girl Green Ivy, she really deserves to die!"
"Magical Girl Green Ivy, strength [Breakthrough], belongs to the Kikyo Judgment Squad..."
'

""
The comments section of the mobile phone video initially showed a moment of silence, but soon these netizens turned their anger towards the magical girl Green Ivy and the members of the Kikyo Judgment Squad.
The former is criticized because she caused the death of the magical girl Violet, while the latter is criticized because they think the Judgment Squad is a bunch of useless people, and among the three battlefronts, the Kikyo Judgment Squad has the worst results.
As she watched the barrage of colorful curses in the live stream, Bai Youqing slowly raised her head and looked at the Kikyo magician in front of her, her eyes seemingly devoid of light: "Kikyo-senpai, am I really as they say, unworthy of living in this world?"
"In your and Sister Violet's eyes, do I really think I can't do anything right?"
"5
""
Kikyo was stunned for a long time until she heard the girl's voice, which brought her back to reality from the replay of Violet Mage's death on her phone.
She turned her head and looked at the girl in front of her, who seemed to have lost her soul. A complex emotion flashed in her eyes, along with some heartache. She hugged the girl's cold body tightly.
"It's alright, it's alright, Xiao Qing, it's not your fault. It's all the fault of the Abyss Beasts. If they hadn't come to Ye Qiu City to cause trouble, the Violet Mage wouldn't have been injured."
'
Bai Youqing watched as a trace of sorrow flashed across the face of the Kikyo mage, only to be replaced by a look of strength, before she began to comfort her with gentle words.
At that moment, she could no longer hold back and burst into tears, crying out, "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, Kikyo-neechan!"
"It's all Xiaoqing's fault. If Xiaoqing hadn't been so eager for success and so reckless, and if I hadn't been so arrogant, none of this would have happened!"
"Waaaaah, it's all my fault that Violet-neechan died. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have become a magical girl in the first place..."
'
"If I hadn't become a magical girl, Violet Wizard Miracle wouldn't have died, and Kikyo wouldn't be..."
"If Xiaoqing dies, will you forgive me, Kikyo-neechan?"
"Stop talking, get some sleep, and you'll feel better after a good night's sleep."
Seeing Bai Youqing's cries growing louder and her emotions becoming increasingly out of control, the magician Kikyo quickly reached out her slender, white hand and gently patted her back. Pale white magic shimmered in her hand as she softly comforted her. Soon, Bai Youqing's sobs gradually subsided, as if she had fallen asleep.
Holding the girl in her arms, Kikyo lowered her head and looked at the girl in her arms whose eyes were swollen from crying. At this moment, she finally understood why a sense of unease had arisen in her heart.
However, by the time she realized it, it seemed that it was already too late.
If she had given up on the Demoness Butterfly and chosen to come to Moon Mountain instead, would everything have been different?
A slight night breeze began to blow, and Secret Service vehicles arrived quickly. The well-trained Secret Service agents soon secured the area.
They split into two teams. One team went to find Kikyo the Magician and the members of the Kikyo Judgment Team to find out the specific situation, while the other team of special agents headed straight for a certain location.
That location was exactly where the live broadcast of the Battle of Moon Mountain took place.
However, when they arrived, the live broadcast crew had already disappeared, leaving only a high-definition camera standing there silently.
On the other side, Peng Liang led special agents and medical personnel toward the direction of the Kikyo Judgment Team.
As Peng Liang walked, he felt a pang of sadness. Ye Qiu City had lost not just an ordinary magical girl, but a high-level magical girl.
Over the years, the other party has participated in the compilation of quite a few magical girl battle books. It is precisely because of these teaching materials that countless new magical girls have been able to survive the cunning claws of the abyssal monsters.
Although her identity is somewhat questionable, her contributions to the Security Bureau and to magical girls are undeniable.
So during this time, the Violet Mage returned to Yeqiu City, and the authorities turned a blind eye. She could rejoin the Arbitrators team and become the captain or vice-captain of the Arbitrator squad, although there were always people watching her.
She was a Gladiolus mage before, and later a Kikyo mage.
As time passed, the supervisors did not find any major problems, and the Violet Mage did not engage in any defection by colluding with monsters or abyssal creatures.
Just when he thought the other party would continue doing this until retirement, an unexpected incident occurred.
"Ugh!"
Peng Liang sighed softly.
However, from another perspective, after tonight, all doubts and blemishes about the other party will completely disappear.
I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing.
But for him, it was definitely a bad thing; the mystery surrounding the Violet Mage's identity had been resolved.
But he knew nothing about the Violet Mage's true identity.
The other party was at least killed in the line of duty, but he still doesn't know how to give the compensation to the other party's family.
Normally, time wouldn't be so tight.
But this time it's different. The Violet Wizard's deeds have spread far and wide. Anyone who uses the internet regularly has probably seen news and reports about the Violet Wizard.
It could be said that at this very moment, the other party's fame and reputation were at their peak, but they sacrificed themselves to save other magical girls.
He didn't believe that those media outlets that liked to profit from tragedy would let this massive surge of online traffic go unnoticed.
When he arrived, the former director specifically called him to emphasize the importance of this matter.
It is highly likely that the headquarters of the Tianjing Security Bureau and the World Tree will send personnel over, because the Violet Mage's identity is not as simple as just a vice-captain.
In any case, the Violet Mage must receive the treatment she deserves.
"Ugh."
Peng Liang had a headache. He had lost count of how many times he had sighed since he rushed here from the State Security Bureau.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at the members of the Kikyo Judgment Team beside him. Now, he could only place his hopes of finding the Violet Mage's true identity on them.
"Wow!"
However, when he saw that pale green figure crying her heart out in Kikyo's arms...
Peng Liang also felt a little bad. This was the first time he had seen the other person cry so hard, and he felt even more embarrassed to disturb her now.
I had no choice but to silently take out my phone and start watching the live stream.
His brows furrowed instantly when he saw the comments that appeared at the end of the video.
He looked at the staff member next to him: "Xiao Li, go and talk to the staff at Pixiv and ask them to deal with some of the malicious comments that expose personal information and make personal attacks. After all, these members of the Kikyo Judgment Squad are fighting against the abyssal creatures for the safety of the citizens of Yeqiu City. What kind of things are these netizens saying now?"
"Oh, I understand."
The staff member named Xiaoli nodded, but when he turned his head and looked at the light green figure beside him, a hint of disgust flashed in his black eyes without any attempt to hide it.
This fleeting glimpse of something unusual did not escape Peng Liang's notice, but he couldn't say anything, so he could only sigh softly, "Sigh, little chili pepper, little chili pepper, this is all I can do for you."
After a long while, only after he saw Bai Youqing asleep in Kikyo's arms did Peng Liang hurriedly approach and ask softly, "Kikyo, do you have some time now? I have a few questions I'd like to ask you."
The Kikyo mage raised her head, her sorrowful light silently gazing at Peng Liang. She gently shook her head, her words revealing deep grief and weariness: "I'm sorry, I'm afraid I don't have time right now..."
"7
After a brief pause, she added, "I also need to address the psychological issues of the members of the Kikyo Judgment Team."
Despite her efforts to maintain a calm demeanor, a closer look reveals a forced smile on her face, as if she were desperately suppressing her true emotions.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was being presumptuous."
Peng Liang scratched his head, quickly apologized, and then handed his business card to Kikyo the Mage. "This is my phone number. If Kikyo the Mage has any free time, please let me know. I have a few questions about Violet Mage that I'd like to ask you."
Kikyo, the magician, paused for a moment, looking at the business card in her hand as if she had thought of something. A trace of sadness flashed in her eyes, and then she nodded.
After accepting the business card, Kikyo the Magician left with the members of the Kikyo Judgment Squad.
Watching them leave, Peng Liang took out a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes and a pack of Liqun cigarettes from his pocket, his gaze hesitating for a moment.
Finally, with a heavy heart, he pulled out a cigarette from the pack of Zhonghua cigarettes. This was a gift he had given to Bai Yuzhe for his birthday last time, but Bai Yuzhe had quit smoking.
I never gave it away, so I just kept it for myself.
He usually doesn't want to smoke.
With a soft puff, before the cigarette had even been smoked more than a few times, a slender hand suddenly appeared and extinguished it.
"Why are you smoking again? I've told you so many times that smoking is bad for your health. I don't stop you from playing games."
A slender, graceful woman emerged from the darkness, her face looking rather pale.
"Sigh, I'm so worried."
Peng Liang wasn't angry when his cigarette was stubbed out. He pulled a lollipop out of his pocket and popped it into his mouth.
"How's your investigation into Yue Yuzheng going? Have you found out who instructed him?"
Su Xinran snorted coldly, snatched the lollipop from the other person's mouth, stuffed it into her own, and shook her head. "No, that kid Le Yuzheng just disappeared. But judging from his personal background, he's a total shut-in."
"That's strange. Why would strange people and abyssal creatures both seek him out?"
Peng Liang rested his chin on his hand, lost in thought.
"Who knows, maybe they're just bored."
"By the way, aren't you a magical girl? How much do you know about the Violet Mage?"
"Um, I don't know much about it, but a friend of mine seems to be quite close to her."
Su Xinran was silent for a moment before speaking slowly.
"Who?"
Peng Liang's eyes immediately lit up with excitement.
Seeing the other party's anxious appearance, Su Xinran found it somewhat amusing. "Osmanthus Mage, it seems that she was also involved in this calamity event, and she even followed Violet Mage for a period of time before."
""
I love you so much!
After Peng Liang got Su Xinran's contact information, he immediately contacted her. However, he was soon disappointed. Apart from not knowing the true identity of the Violet Mage, the Osmanthus Mage could tell him everything about her hobbies, personality, fighting style, etc.
However, Peng Liang was not discouraged; at least there was something to write about the Violet Mage's life story.
By the time I finished recording all of this, it was already five or six in the morning.
Looking at the faint morning light outside the window, Peng Liang secretly wondered if he should wake Bai Yuze up and have him go eat some noodles.
Although they understand that most people are still asleep at this moment, considering that the two of them are usually very close and often spend time together day and night, they probably wouldn't mind being woken up at this time.
