At this time, the phone rang.

He picked up the phone and saw that it was Aster calling.

It was normal for Ziyuan to know his number, as they had exchanged contact information during the day.

But he was a little surprised to receive the call from the other party at this point.

"Aster, it's so late, what's the matter?"

On the other end of the phone, Ziyuan's usual calmness was gone, and her extremely excited voice came through.

"I saw them! I saw them with my own eyes! I saw my mom and dad!"

.

Under the dim street lights.

Qing Ning was walking aimlessly on the street alone.

She felt a little dissatisfied.

In this plan, she is the only bait, and everyone else is waiting for her news.

This is too abominable! Binhai City is so big, it will take forever! Although she learned from the police where the criminal organization might appear, she also pretended to be a runaway girl and kept wandering around these locations.

But what if the other party doesn't fall for it? Will she have to go home at midnight every day?

The others might have already fallen asleep soundly.

Thinking of this, Qing Ning became even more angry and kicked a mineral water bottle in front of him hard.

"Bang, bang..."

The mineral water bottle flew high and fell on the street.

In the quiet streets at night, the sound seemed extremely loud and harsh.

At this time, a hand stretched out from the darkness and picked up the mineral water bottle.

"who?!"

Qing Ning immediately became alert.

The figure slowly walked out of the darkness and appeared under the street light.

He looked to be in his forties or fifties, with an untidy beard, a hunched body, and ragged clothes. He picked up the mineral water bottle tremblingly and put it in the big bag he was carrying on his back.

A wandering scavenger.

Green Lemon breathed a sigh of relief.

The scavenger rummaged through trash cans along the way, picking up plastic bottles and cans that could be exchanged for money and putting them in the bag behind him.

Not long after, they arrived near the lemon.

"It's so late, little girl, why don't you go home?"

The homeless man bent down to pick up a bottle on the ground and opened it seemingly casually.

His voice was hoarse and unpleasant, as if there was a piece of phlegm stuck in his throat that he couldn't spit out.

"I..." Qing Ning was about to speak, but then she remembered the role she was playing, so she changed her words and said, "I had a fight with my family! I don't want to go back!"

"You have to go back, it's dangerous for a girl to be outside alone at night..."

He continued to search the ground for valuables with his head down, not looking at Qing Ning. He seemed to be talking to her, or as if he was talking to himself.

"I'm not afraid. This city is very safe. There are magical girls protecting us." Qing Ning said.

"Magical girl..."

The homeless man slowly walked to Qing Ning while picking up trash, "Little girl, please move your feet, there is a bottle over there."

Qing Ning subconsciously looked down.

Where is the bottle? The next moment, a wet tissue was placed over her mouth and nose.

A pungent smell rushed into my nose. Before I inhaled a little, I felt dizzy and my brain became a little groggy.

Qingning reacted immediately and realized that a fish had taken the bait!

They couldn't be sure if the man in front of them was a member of the criminal organization they were looking for, but they were sure that he was a skilled repeat offender.

Qing Ning did not act rashly. She knew what she needed to do at the moment, and they had made plans in advance for various unexpected situations.

She immediately used magic to block her mouth and nose to prevent herself from inhaling more psychedelic gas and keep her brain clear.

The criminal in front of her was just an ordinary person, and she could easily defeat him.

But she needs to follow the criminals and find their hiding place.

So Qing Ning pretended to be unconscious.

The tramp quickly stuffed her into a snakeskin bag he had prepared in advance, then carried her on his back and walked towards the darkness outside the street light. The whole set of movements was very clean and neat.

Qing Ning felt the bag she was in was thrown into the trunk of a car.

Soon after, she could feel another bag next to her and the sound of someone talking in front of the car.

"We have a good harvest tonight. We actually have two."

"I think there's a girl among them who's particularly pretty, how about..."

"Are you looking for death? If you delay that person's business, haven't you seen the miserable state of those people?"

"Oh, I just said that casually."

"There are a lot of people in need recently. There are only a few homeless people left in this city."

"From what the boss said, we are going to slowly start targeting nursing homes and even ordinary families?"

"Shit, if that were to happen, the cops would be out in force."

The sound of a lighter was heard, as if someone was lighting a cigarette.

"The police are not a big deal. What's important is to be afraid of those guys who break the rules in the sky."

Qing Ning pricked up her ears, listened carefully to their conversation, and memorized every word of it in her mind.

She knew that this time she had really caught a big fish! These people were most likely the members of the criminal organization they were looking for! She was ready to continue listening, but she found that their voices began to become intermittent and unclear.

Then she heard the car door closing and the engine starting.

She began to sway as the car moved.

Everything is going according to plan.

Next, she just needs to report the situation here to Fengye.

They had already agreed to send the message once they had identified the target.

She had already edited the notification information in advance, and she only needed to touch the button on her phone.

Just as Qing Ning reached into her pocket, a strong feeling of dizziness swept over her and rushed straight to her brain.

Unable to reach the phone, her hands dropped weakly and her head fell downward.

Just by inhaling a little bit of the drug at the beginning, could it have such a strong effect...

This was Qing Ning's last thought before he fainted.

Magical Girls Association.

All the magical girls in Binhai City gathered here.

They sat around the round table in the conference room, each with a different look on their face.

Feng Ye, who was in the lead, looked a little solemn.

"The target appeared."

"How do you know for sure?" Shui Lan asked.

"Before, I..." Fengye glanced at Shuilan with a surprised look, "You advanced?"

Shui Lan nodded in agreement, then said, "This is a small matter, go on to the important things."

Fengye then continued, "I left a magic mark on Qingning before, which can sense her location."

Shui Lan nodded. This was a very common magic spell, very useful, but the disadvantage was that it could be easily discovered by people of similar strength.

Feng Ye paused for a moment and continued, "Qing Ning's location has changed. She is now in a suburb west of the city."

"I made an agreement with her that if there was anything unusual, she would report it to me. As for the magic mark, I didn't tell her. This is the last layer of insurance."

"She had been there for a while and hadn't sent me any messages. To avoid alerting her, I hadn't contacted her."

Being able to prevent a magical girl from having the chance to pass on a message is enough to explain a lot of things; it is impossible for an ordinary crime to do that.

Chi Yan interrupted, "Maybe she just didn't find a good time to pass on the message? Or maybe she wanted to catch a bigger fish and was worried about alerting the enemy?"

"Fortunately, my magic mark is still there, and I can sense where Qing Ning is."

Fengye stood up and looked at the young magical girls with a serious expression.

"Now, let's go together."

"Be prepared to fight."

"Follow me, don't make too much noise, and be careful to suppress the leakage of magic power during the flight."

After Feng Ye finished speaking, she turned into a stream of indigo light and flew out. Soon, the magical halo emanating from her body became dim and transparent, completely blending into the night.

The other magical girls followed suit and flew out together behind Fengye.

Jinju was the last one to come. She held her cell phone, a little hesitant.

She believed that it was not Tang Feng who did these things.

But she hesitated whether to tell the other party about their actions.

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

The one who can make Liu Huang disappear silently must be at least an S-level monster.

Although they have a magical girl of the same level, she feels unsafe.

Tang Feng’s strength is like a stabilizing force. It seems that as long as he is there, there is no enemy that cannot be defeated.

After a moment, Jinju put down his phone and chuckled as if mocking himself.

When did she become so dependent on Tang Feng?

Even though he has a powerful magical girl senior by his side, he is still thinking about contacting a weirdo.

Besides, isn't the so-called enemy the weirdo? Jinju pursed her lips and revealed a determined look. The magic power surged around her, and she quickly caught up with the faint streams of light in front of her.

.

Tang Feng had been secretly observing Ziyuan all the way.

There was something obviously wrong with her condition.

Ziyuan was running on the street at this moment, staring at a certain place in front of her with an obsessive look.

Miraculously, Tang Feng couldn't see anything unusual, and there were no traces of magic power cast on her body.

Is she really just going crazy? Aster crossed the road without hesitation, and a driver was forced to brake suddenly and cursed.

"Are you in a hurry to reincarnate at this late hour?!"

In his field of vision, a black figure suddenly appeared in front of the light. If he hadn't reacted quickly, he would have crashed into it.

Aster seemed not to hear any words, she floated past like a ghost.

The driver felt a tingling sensation on his scalp when he saw this scene.

I didn't see it clearly before, but now I see it carefully. Black skirt, girl, pale skin, weird behavior, in the middle of the night...

Could it be a ghost?

The driver stepped on the accelerator and quickly fled from this damn place.

Tang Feng couldn't bear it anymore and chose to appear next to Ziyuan.

Not to mention her current condition, if she is hit by a dump truck, she might go to another world.

"Aster."

Tang Feng stood in front of Ziyuan, "What are you doing?"

When Ziyuan saw Tang Feng, she was like she was on drugs, with wild flames dancing in her eyes.

She stretched out her hand excitedly and pointed forward, "Look, my parents are calling me over!"

Tang Feng looked in the direction she pointed, but there was clearly nothing there, not even a ghost.

Tang Feng thought about it, then took the girl's cold little hand and said, "I'll go with you."

He wanted to see who was playing tricks.

.

Qing Ning woke up slowly.

She smelled a damp, musty odor.

Qing Ning's first reaction was to lower his head and check his body.

The clothes were intact and showed no signs of having been tampered with.

Soon, the feeling of restraint on her shoulders and arms made her realize that she was tied up.

She looked up and around, and saw that she was in a huge warehouse with regularly arranged square beams standing one by one, supporting the tall roof.

There were a few dim incandescent lights above, illuminating the scene inside the warehouse. She saw several girls who looked a few years older than her tied up under the beams beside her.

On the other side, there were seven or eight ragged and slovenly homeless men, also tied up with ropes.

Everyone looked drowsy and listless, as if they had been fed some kind of drug.

Qing Ning tried to feel it and found that the phone had been taken away.

To her surprise, the heart gem hidden in the lining was still there.

That is to say, in this situation, she can transform at any time.

As if taking a reassurance pill, Qing Ning breathed a sigh of relief and began to observe with confidence.

As long as there are no weirdos, no one here can threaten her.

She needs to find out the purpose of this group of people and rescue these kidnapped girls and homeless people.

Just then, a sound of footsteps came from far away, accompanied by the voice of a man talking.

"The goods from the past few days are all here, please check."

Qing Ning pretended to be unconscious, squinting his eyes and trying to look at the outside world.

There were three men walking towards her, one of them was the man who pretended to be a homeless man and attacked her, and the other two were not seen before.

The man in the middle, wearing leather shoes and a suit, looks the most senior, and the two men beside him fawn over him like lackeys.

The man in the suit came over and looked around.

"The supply is a bit low." He said in a dissatisfied tone.

A man next to him sighed, "This is really all we have. We've almost caught all the homeless people in this city, not to mention little girls. We can only rely on luck."

"Tsk, I'm not here to listen to your explanation. Didn't your boss tell you? Once we've captured everyone, we'll start with ordinary families."

"The disappearance of a homeless person won't attract much attention. If we really want to attack more people as you said, even if the police can't deal with us, the guys flying in the sky will find us!"

The man in the suit snorted coldly, "This is not your concern. The magical girl will be dealt with by someone else. You just need to do your part and you will get the benefits."

Qing Ning's ears were erect at this moment, she had memorized all the words word for word.

Judging from what the other person said, that person... seemed to be able to deal with magical girls? Was he a weirdo? The answer was obvious.

Qing Ning became cautious. Even Liu Huang disappeared for unknown reasons, so she couldn't act rashly.

At this time, the man in the suit said something to the two of them, then turned and walked out of the warehouse.

Watching the suited man leaving, Qing Ning began to wonder whether he should take action now to capture the three of them.

The man in the suit seems to be in a high position and may know some useful information.

At this time, one of them answered a phone call and his expression suddenly became panicked.

"Quick, notify all the brothers here to retreat, the police are coming soon."

"Where is this batch of goods?" asked another person.

The voice of the man in the suit came from the door of the warehouse, "I have sent a truck over here, call someone to move them all up."

After a while, five or six more people came into the warehouse and started moving the "goods".

Only then did Qing Ning realize that there were so many accomplices here.

This must be one of the strongholds.

She knew she couldn't wait any longer. She didn't know where they were being transported to. If it was that weirdo's lair, she might lose contact like Liu Huang.

We should take this opportunity to knock these people down, save these girls and the homeless man, and then capture the man in the suit and interrogate him! Qing Ning decided.

"Transform!"

A light green light bloomed, which was particularly dazzling in the dark warehouse, like a shining lamp.
