The sound echoed over the square, lasting for a long time.

Shui Lan stared blankly at the man standing in front of her, and suddenly felt that his back was so tall.

His magnificent speech, his sonorous voice, and his broad back were deeply imprinted in her mind at this moment.

But such sacrifice is meaningless.

She was no longer able to fight.

"don't want……"

Shui Lan spoke softly, but her voice was so weak that no one could hear it.

The square fell into dead silence. All the crying, shouting and cursing were silenced by Tang Feng's roar that pierced the sky.

The silence didn't last long.

After a moment, a middle-aged man in his forties stood up.

"If they are not afraid of young men and little girls, what should I, a person half buried in the ground, be afraid of?"

"I'll keep you company! So that we old guys won't be considered cowards."

"By the way, when I was a kid, I also really liked magical girls!!"

The middle-aged man stood in front of Tang Feng with a heroic look on his face, showing an expression of mutual admiration.

"don't want……"

Shui Lan spoke again, but still no one could hear her.

With one person taking the lead, slowly more and more people began to gather here.

It's still a small part, but it's enough.

"My life was given to me by the magical girl. What's the point of giving it away now?" another middle-aged man shouted.

"My whole family was saved by Shui Lan. Now our whole family is here to see you, Shui Lan." All five members of the family came over. They looked at Shui Lan lying on the ground with incomparable tenderness in their eyes.

"Mom, I want to go too. Didn't she save us before?" The little boy pointed to the center of the square with a determined look. His mother didn't stop him. Instead, she picked him up with tears in her eyes and walked to the center of the square. "Hubby, Liangliang and I are coming down to accompany you."

"Don't..." Before she knew it, Shui Lan was already in tears.

At this time, twenty or thirty people had gathered in the center of the square. They all had their own reasons and were willing to sacrifice everything for the magical girl.

At one end of the crowd was a terrifying disaster beast, and at the other end was a magical girl lying on the ground.

They stood in the middle, using their fragile human bodies to build a barrier.

Everyone knows that such a barrier will not last long before it is completely torn apart by the disaster beasts.

But no one took even a step back.

"No..." It was Shui Lan's cry on the verge of collapse.

At this moment, the disaster beast finally took action. With a look of contempt, it rushed straight towards the human barrier and the magical girl in front.

Aster shot out an extremely concentrated, high-intensity beam of magic power. She had been concentrating this attack since she stood here.

With one blow, all the magic power in her body was drained.

Ziyuan went limp weakly, Tang Feng reached out to support her, Ziyuan leaned on Tang Feng and looked up at the result of her attack.

The magic beam hit the beast's shoulder, but it failed to even stop it.

Aster revealed a trace of despair. She closed her eyes and quietly waited for the moment when the disaster beast would tear her apart completely.

Tang Feng watched all this coldly, without any intention of taking any action.

He doesn't care how many people die, he is an evil weirdo who will do anything to achieve his goal. If killing someone can make a girl a magical girl, then he won't hesitate at all.

Either Shuilan creates a miracle, or Aster awakens.

He turned everyone in the square into hostages to achieve his goal.

When the disaster beast was about to step into the crowd.

"don't want--!!!"

A shrill cry was heard.

A sudden strong wind blew, causing the disaster beast to stop moving briefly. At the same time, a dazzling blue light illuminated the entire square.

Even though it was daytime and the sun was shining brightly, the blue light was still dazzling, overshadowing the sun's brilliance.

Everyone turned around and looked towards the source of the light.

In the deep pit, Shui Lan's figure has been shrouded in blue. The heart gem on her chest now appears completely green and transparent. Countless halos flow through it like liquid, emitting endless light, like a dazzling blue sun.

The girl's figure slowly rose into the air. She had her eyes closed, and her peaceful face was like an angel in her sleep. Even under the cover of blue light, the traces of tears at the corners of her eyes were still clearly visible.

She was surrounded by a violent energy storm. Under the strong wind, the people standing in front of her could not withstand the powerful energy storm and were forced to move away from the center of the storm.

Shui Lan was the only one left in the center of the square, floating in the air, facing the disaster beast from a distance.

Tang Feng stared at the scene intently with an obsessed expression.

The miracle created by the magical girl in desperation is so dazzling.

However, this is far from the limit.

When all the magical girls fall into endless despair, the hope that blooms from the darkness will shine on the whole world.

That will be their... swan song.

Tang Feng licked the corner of his mouth subconsciously.

Aster glanced at him and quickly looked away.

The disaster beast let out a ferocious roar. With a hint of intelligence, it could sense that the enemy in front of it had undergone a drastic change and was emitting an extremely dangerous aura.

In the end, its animal instinct prevailed over its limited wisdom, and it brandished its strong claws and roared as it rushed towards the blue figure.

Shui Lan still didn't open her eyes, but her body seemed to move on its own, and the slender flower sword drew a mysterious arc in the air. She stretched out her hand and gently pushed the hilt of the sword, and the long sword shot straight out like a fully charged bow and arrow, bringing up a flash of blue sword light.

A sharp and piercing sound of breaking through the air was heard, and the thin and pointed sword body, with a momentum like lightning and thunder, faced the oncoming disaster beast head-on.

The disaster beast roared in despair and struggled to grab the dangerous lightning.

It failed to catch.

When it saw the blue light, its body had already been pierced.

It's not a simple penetration.

The residual power brought by the sword tip directly penetrated the entire abdominal cavity of the disaster beast, creating a large hole several dozen centimeters wide, through which the street scene behind could be clearly seen.

The disaster beast had a dazed expression and slowly fell to its knees.

Finally, with a loud "bang", the entire body of the disaster beast fell on the floor tiles of the square, raising a cloud of dust.

At the same time, the blue light that enveloped Shui Lan gradually dissipated, and the girl's thin body fell from the air like a fallen leaf.

Tang Feng was prepared. He stood below the girl, stretched out his hands and caught the fallen leaf.

Light and soft, as clean and clear as spring water.

The magical girl battle costume she was wearing had fallen off, revealing the cute and exquisite costume of idol Kirisamesa.

Tang Feng took off his coat and wrapped it around the little idol. The large coat covered the girl's entire body.

He knew that the other party did not want to reveal his true identity.

Tang Feng picked up the girl's body, which was as soft as water, and buried her head in his chest. In this way, outsiders could not see her appearance at all.

Just as he was about to leave, a roar of exhaustion sounded behind him.

The disaster beast, which had not yet completely died, used up its last bit of strength, opened its mouth wide, revealing its sharp teeth, and bit the girl in his arms.

The disaster beast obviously could not fulfill this last wish.

Tang Feng turned around and saw Ziyuan standing behind him. A sharp knife had pierced into the upper jaw of the disaster beast, making it impossible for its mouth to close completely.

That was the pen knife she had just obtained today. Although she had also exhausted her magic power and was extremely weak at this moment, she used the knife to press against the upper jaw of the disaster beast, giving the dying beast its final journey.

The disaster beast completely cut off any life.

"I didn't expect your gift would come in handy so soon." Aster said as she pulled the knife out of the beast's mouth, wiped it clean, and put it away.

Tang Feng smiled slightly, "Well done."

At this moment, the crowd finally burst into warm cheers.

Everyone gathered around and admired the hero who saved them.

Although the hero was wrapped tightly at the moment, not even a corner of his clothes could be seen.

There were even reporters from TV stations mixed in the crowd who came over and wanted to interview Tang Feng and his companions.

"Shui Lan needs to rest now." Tang Feng frowned slightly. Being blocked like this, he couldn't leave openly.

But the crowd was still blocking the way ahead, showing no signs of dispersing.

Aster took out the knife that she had just used to kill the disaster beast. She pressed the switch, and the sharp blade popped out from the side of the pen and pointed at the crowd.

"I will stab anyone who gets in my way again."

Tang Feng glanced at her in surprise. He still couldn't figure out this girl's character.

He is indeed a mentally ill patient.

With Aster's knife clearing the way, they finally squeezed out of the crowd.

"How is Shui Lan?"

Unexpectedly, the first one to arrive was Chi Yan.

Tang Feng nodded, "The situation is not bad. She finally exploded and solved the disaster beast. Now she may just be simply exhausted."

He handed the wrapped girl to the other party and said, "Take her away, don't let her true identity be exposed."

Chi Yan took the unconscious girl and looked up at Tang Feng. "I heard about what happened just now. You are quite a man."

"I just did what I was supposed to do. There's nothing to praise about it."

"Tang Feng, you are great. I admit that I am moved by what you did just now. Let's have a drink together if we have the chance." Chi Yan stretched out his fist and touched his shoulder twice.

"Minors are not allowed to drink." Tang Feng acted like a teacher.

"Drinks are fine too." Chi Yan smiled, put Shui Lan on his back, waved to him, and also said hello to Zi Yuan beside him, "See you later."

Tang Feng also waved his hand, and the red flame turned into a stream of light and disappeared between the tall buildings.

After being interrupted by the disaster beast incident, the two lost the mood to continue playing. Tang Feng sent Ziyuan back home and told her to come to him directly if she had any problems.

"Don't you really need a father? I can take you to live with me." Tang Feng asked in the end without giving up.

"unnecessary."

Aster closed the door.

After a moment, she opened the door again.

"Thanks."

Before Tang Feng could say anything, the door closed again.

Tang Feng shook his head, turned and left.

Since Ziyuan didn't want to, he wouldn't force her.

Tang Feng began to think about how to separate the seeds in her body without hurting Aster.

Or... find the owner of the seed and completely destroy him, and the seed will naturally disappear.

These mice hiding in the dark are really troublesome.

Tang Feng's eyes turned cold. He put his hands in his pockets and left the shantytown.

.

At Chi Yan's house, Shui Lan woke up slowly.

She looked at the familiar surroundings and quickly confirmed that this was Chi Yan's room.

"Finally you woke up. I thought you were going to sleep until tomorrow."

Hearing the voice, Shui Lan turned her head and found Chi Yan was looking at her.

"I was originally going to send you home, but since you haven't woken up yet, I was a little worried, so I let you sleep here first."

Chi Yan smacked his lips, "I didn't expect you to sleep better than a pig. It's already dark outside."

This time, Shui Lan did not argue with her best friend, but bowed her head and said thank you.

"Why thank me? I arrived after you had already dealt with the disaster beast. I did nothing but deal with the corpse of the disaster beast. You should thank Tang Feng."

When Shui Lan heard Chi Yan mention Tang Feng, the scene of him standing in front of her with great heroic spirit emerged in her mind.

He is indeed a righteous companion who is full of courage and shines with the brilliance of humanity.

Shui Lan is now sure of this.

If the previous encounter only gave Shui Lan a high regard for him, then his actions today made Shui Lan see his true personal charm.

As an ordinary person, in that situation, he resolutely stood up and launched an impassioned speech, inspiring everyone.

Although Shui Lan did not approve of this blind act of sacrifice, she was undeniably attracted to the other party's behavior.

He was trying to protect her.

Call on more people to protect her.

Magical girls have always protected others, and today she thoroughly experienced the feeling of being protected.

Everyone's love filled her with endless energy.

However, Shui Lan never wanted to experience that kind of desperate environment and pressure again. If a miracle didn't happen, they would all die there today.

Tang Feng...

She muttered the name silently, not knowing what she was thinking.

So much so that Chi Yan waved his hand in front of her several times without her noticing.

"Hey, are you thinking about love?!"

Chi Yan finally couldn't help it and made a sound.

Shui Lan finally reacted and a slight blush appeared on her pretty face, but it quickly disappeared.

"Don't talk nonsense. We have been good friends for so many years. You know how high my standards are."

Shui Lan lifted her smooth short hair and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. "The person who can enter my heart does not exist yet."

"Really?" Chi Yan said with a half-smile, "I found that I am a little attracted to Tang Feng. Do you have any good suggestions?"

Shui Lan's expression froze slightly, "We still need to consider this matter carefully."

"If it was me here today, I would definitely fall in love with him." Chi Yan made an exaggerated expression, "You don't know how charming he was back then."

To prove it, she took out her phone and clicked on a video.

That was taken secretly by someone in the square today.

In the picture, Tang Feng was standing between her and the disaster beast, letting out a shocking roar.

“You guys disappoint me so much!!”

“…”

“…”

"Right now!"

"Willing to protect her,"

"Not afraid of death,"

"Stand on my side!!!"

After the first person came over, more and more people came up.

Shui Lan saw this scene from a third-party perspective for the first time. She felt as if she was back at the scene, feeling the desperate and tragic atmosphere at that time, and her nose became sore again.

Chi Yan handed over a tissue and sniffed at the same time, "See, I told you, a normal person would definitely be moved by this scene."

"Let's not talk about this anymore."

Shui Lan took the tissue, gently wiped the corners of her eyes, and then turned off the video.

"I seem to have been promoted to A-level."

Chi Yan was very surprised to hear the news.

"You're actually at level A!"

Then, he was a little bit unconvinced, "He is just a little bit faster than me. I feel that he will be able to break through in no time."

Shui Lan smiled and did not take this opportunity to attack her best friend. Instead, she spoke with some nostalgia.

"I don't know what's going on with Liu Huang. If she comes back, I will definitely compete with her for the position of captain."

Chi Yan knew that what Shui Lan wanted to express was not that she really wanted to compete for the captaincy, but the premise was that Liu Huang could come back.

She reached out and gently placed her hand on the back of Shuilan's hand, "Liuhuang will be fine."

Shui Lan suddenly remembered something, "Qing Ning should be wandering outside at this time, right? Have you contacted her today?"

Chi Yan took out his phone without caring, ready to contact the other party, "Qing Ning said yesterday that there are only some bad guys and weird uncles, no suspicious people at all."

"It's not a coincidence that the fish will be caught as soon as the bait is released. We definitely need to observe for a while." Shui Lan said.

Chi Yan spread his hands and said, "I don't think this plan is reliable. What if there are no fish biting the hook? Let Qing Ning wander the streets until midnight every night?"

Shui Lan was silent. She knew that this plan was unrealistic to implement in the long run, but there was no better way at the moment, and the police had not found a breakthrough either.

Shui Lan sighed, "Let's wait a few more days, then we can compensate her together."

Chi Yan called Qing Ning at this time, but surprisingly, no one answered the call.

The two magical girls looked at each other.

Was it a coincidence? Qing Ning was busy? Before the two of them could make a judgment, they received a message from Feng Ye.

The sentence is extremely brief.

"Association assembled, emergency combat meeting."
