Chapter 190 Things Scattered Like Rain Again
Under Jiang Yuan's instigation, Lin Xiaolu reluctantly agreed to go to the concert. She didn't intend to accept the invitation from a stranger, but she had no reason to refuse the invitation from her friend.
She waited in a daze until the school was over. When the teacher on the podium announced "school was over", Lin Xiaolu, who had spent the whole day in a half-asleep and half-wakeful state, stretched out, looked at the dim sky outside the window, and gradually regained some clarity.
After saying goodbye to Jiang Yuan who was sitting in the front seat, she walked out of the school gate alone, and then found a secluded corner according to Cuiqiao's instructions and transformed herself into a magical girl.
Next, it was her usual patrol time these days.
Although the activities of the beasts in Fangting City have been greatly reduced in the past two months, and it can be said to be peaceful and tranquil compared to before the Full Moon Festival, the necessary procedures must be followed, at least this work cannot be omitted. Lin Xiaolu slowly shuttled between the buildings in the city, overlooking the streets below, while using magic perception to explore everywhere, so as not to miss any clues.
In fact, she could also patrol while flying - but on the one hand, her perception ability is not strong enough, and it is easy to lose clues when moving at high speed; on the other hand, her magic control is not very sophisticated. Although flying now does not waste magic power like when she was a novice, it is difficult to limit her speed.
For these reasons, Lin Xiaolu finally chose a compromise solution, jumping between high-rise buildings and checking the magic fluctuations in the area.
This kind of inspection usually yields no results, but today seemed different. When Lin Xiaolu passed an intersection where accidents occurred frequently, she suddenly had a strange feeling.
She almost instinctively looked towards the street not far away, and soon discovered that a bulge had inexplicably appeared on the busy road. The bulge was getting bigger and bigger, and a network of cracks continued to appear on the poured road surface.
——It’s a remnant beast.
Opening her hand, the magic wand instantly appeared in her palm. Lin Xiaolu's magic power gushed out from under her feet, and she accelerated to the bump on the road. Then she swiped the magic wand fiercely, using the magic power released naturally to push all the surrounding vehicles aside.
Many of these pushed away vehicles almost hit the roadside railings directly. Fortunately, the force used by Lin Xiaolu was not strong and no traffic accidents occurred. When these car owners stuck their heads out with seven parts of confusion and three parts of anger, their sight happened to meet a monster that emerged from the road.
It's a remnant beast.
Their confusion turned into relief, their anger turned into fear, and the honking of horns on the road turned into screams. People who realized what was happening started running away in an instant, and car owners who were stuck in the middle of the road also abandoned their cars and died.
There were also some sharp-eyed people who saw the magical girl in mid-air, so they came over with their mobile phones and wanted to take the opportunity to record a video to attract attention, but they were scared by Lin Xiaolu's glare when she turned around and put their phones away.
"Don't stay here, run away!"
Shouting at these passers-by who were simply playing with their lives, Lin Xiaolu waved the magic wand in her hand fiercely, then turned around to block the remaining beasts that were trying to move forward.
After she shouted this, the passers-by looked at each other in bewilderment. Although they were somewhat unwilling, rationality prevailed in the end. So they shouted to thank Lin Xiaolu from a distance, then ran away.
Of course, these people didn't know that even if they wanted to continue filming, Lin Xiaolu couldn't do anything to them. All she could do was stare at them. Because the enemy was in front of her, she had to focus on the battle.
Such crippled beasts that suddenly appeared in public places and were less than 15 meters in height were often eggs and worms. With Lin Xiaolu's current combat ability, it was no problem for her to deal with crippled beasts of this level.
Although she has not been able to use her magic suit yet, her magic power has completely crushed the remnant beast at this stage. Even if she only uses the naturally released magic bullets and magic beams, she can overwhelm the remnant beast under her firepower.
In addition to providing a steady stream of firepower, the huge amount of magic power also allows Lin Xiaolu to be mobile enough to play with a crippled beast of this level - after all, she can always use magic power for short-range acceleration without having to worry about being attacked.
This fighting style was tailor-made for Lin Xiaolu by Kuei-chan, and it can even be said to be inherited from Kuei-chan herself. After discovering that her daughter had magical powers far exceeding those of her peers, she began to teach Lin Xiaolu how to fight in high-speed mobile warfare.
The so-called high-speed mobile warfare, as the name suggests, is a fighting method that fights while flying. This fighting method can greatly reduce the probability of the magical girl being attacked by the opponent, while distracting the attention of the remaining beasts. It is a safe and efficient fighting method.
If there is any flaw in this fighting style, it is that it places extremely high demands on the magical girl's magic power, attention, reaction ability, and even combat instincts, and Lin Xiaolu happens to have all these things.
Following this fighting method, when encountering such brutal beasts in the past, Lin Xiaolu's decision was usually to fly in circles, fighting while flying, striving to suppress it to death with the least losses and the strongest firepower.
But this time, she couldn't do that until the passers-by around her had completely evacuated.
There are too many people around the place where the crippled beast appeared. If the magic power is released at will, it is very likely to hurt the onlookers. As a magical girl with mature combat experience, Lin Xiaolu will certainly not allow such a thing to happen.
Watching the distance of the people around her, she first used the firepower of the magic beam to force the remaining beast away from the road, ensuring that it would not cause more damage in the surroundings; then she gradually approached it, while continuing to use magic to restrain the movement path of the remaining beast, she drew out her magic wand and began to try to fight the remaining beast in close combat.
Unfortunately, she soon discovered that she seemed unable to completely defeat the beast through close combat like Bai Jingxuan did.
It was not only because the magic power of the species level was too low, but also because her strength was not enough. Facing the remnant beasts of the insect level, she could only suppress them, but it was difficult for her to cause effective damage through close combat.
——It would be nice if I had a magic suit.
Thinking of this, she suddenly felt even more depressed, and her movements became a little impatient. She almost used the crippled beast in front of her as a punching bag to vent her anger, hitting it hard with her magic wand.
Low-level remnants of the beast did not know fear, but that did not mean they had no temper. After being hit by the magical girl in front of it, it also let out an angry roar and began to try to fight back.
The magical girl was very angry, and the crippled beast was also very angry. The two of them were hitting each other back and forth as if they were in a street fight, and they looked very embarrassed.
Unlike Bai Jingxuan, who disregarded life and death and fought with the momentum of hurting the enemy by 1,000 and herself by 800, Lin Xiaolu's close combat style was closer to that of Cui Que, who fought on the defensive and counterattacked. However, she was invisible, and even though she was also waving a magic wand, she could indeed suppress the beasts, but it didn't look beautiful at all. Compared with Cui Que's dancing steps, she was like an amateur swinging a stick.
This battle without any aesthetic appeal lasted for half a day. Just when Lin Xiaolu felt that her resentment had been mostly vented and was about to put away her wand and start fighting seriously, she felt as if there was a shadow above her head.
She raised her head warily, trying to confirm the identity of the shadow, but what she saw was not the imagined enemy, but a blonde girl in a light yellow dress.
At this moment, the girl was hugging her arms, posing in a manner she thought was very cool, letting the air currents in the sky carry her skirt fluttering.
Seeing Lin Xiaolu looking at her, she first showed a confident smile, then gently waved her hand at Lin Xiaolu: "Hehe, do you need my help?"
...Who are you? Looking at the uninvited blonde girl, Lin Xiaolu blinked in confusion.
"It looks like you're in a tough fight. You've been fighting for so long, and your magic power must have been consumed a lot. Yeah, it seems like I came at the right time."
Without waiting for Lin Xiaolu to reply, the girl nodded as if she had really understood the situation and said, "It's okay, you just rest aside and let me solve it!"
"Oh, no..."
Realizing that the other party probably misunderstood the current situation, Lin Xiaolu tried to explain. Unfortunately, before she could squeeze out a few words, the girl rushed forward like a flash of light.
In fact, this flash of light was not Lin Xiaolu's illusion, but came from under the feet of the blonde girl.
"Lily, magic power is released!"
As the girl shouted, the two streams of light under her feet converged in an instant and then turned into a pair of roller skates made entirely of golden magic power.
Although she was flying in the air, the pulley under the girl's feet was spinning rapidly, constantly spewing magic power all around. When she rushed in front of the crippled beast, the pulley under her feet accelerated again.
"Flashy little kick!"
The accelerating pulley rolled up rippling magic waves in an instant, and the ripples gathered into a wheel of light under its feet. Then, accompanied by the girl's kick on the side of the crippled beast, the wheel of light broke through the hard skin of the crippled beast like a sharp blade, and burst out with extremely strong impact force, kicking the huge crippled beast straight into the air.
The length of this crippled beast was over 15 meters, and its weight was definitely greater than a fully loaded large truck. However, after the girl's kick, it flew dozens of meters high like a light can.
Even after kicking the crippled beast into the air, the girl's attack did not stop.
The light wheel under her feet continued to rotate, lifting her up from where she was, and in just a few seconds, she flew to the side of the crippled beast at an astonishing speed. Just like that, under the gaze of Lin Xiaolu and the scattered passers-by around her, she began to spin in the air.
A vague shout came from the sky. Because the distance was too far, Lin Xiaolu could no longer hear what the girl was shouting. However, she could still clearly see the girl's movements.
The girl's legs drew several light arcs in the air, spinning like she was dancing, and then she kicked the crippled beast hard.
"bump!"
A heavy muffled sound suddenly rang out, and Lin Xiaolu could almost see the mucus splashing out of the crippled beast after it was kicked to pieces.
And this kick was not even the end. The girl's rotation had not stopped yet. A kick passed through the air. She turned around and kicked the crippled beast again.
Just like that, as the girl spun, she kicked countless times in just a few seconds, until the unfortunate beast was finally overwhelmed and exploded into a ball of fireworks in the air.
From the time she appeared to the time she defeated the beast, it took the girl only a dozen seconds to completely wipe out a snake. Judging from the strength she showed, the girl was probably much stronger than Lin Xiaolu at the moment.
However, before Lin Xiaolu could marvel at the other party's strength, something unexpected happened.
The remnant beast exploded in the air, but it did not mean that it disappeared. When the remnant beast exploded, the mucus in its body fell from the sky like rain, and an indescribable stench immediately spread.
Seeing the slime, Lin Xiaolu seemed to recall some not-so-good memories. Her face darkened, and she quickly released her magic power, using the impact of the magic power to simulate a barrier effect, blocking the stinking "rainwater" aside.
Unfortunately, the instigator of this incident, the blonde girl next to the crippled beast, failed to react.
Almost at the moment when the crippled beast was kicked to pieces, the mucus in its body gushed out, and the girl was soaked without even having time to retract her legs. Her light yellow dress was even dyed purple and black.
The sudden stench rushed into her nostrils. Before she could be proud of her victory, the strong smell made her face turn purple and blue, and then she began to dry heave almost instinctively.
"vomit--"
Fortunately, the magical girl's body is made of magic power, so when she vomits, she will only spit out air. Otherwise, she would probably vomit out her lunch that day as well.
After vomiting in the air for a long time, she finally remembered what she was here for. Covering her mouth, she slowly descended from the air with her forehead turning blue, and she landed in front of Lin Xiaolu.
Even though it was several meters away from Lin Xiaolu, the strong stench continued to penetrate into her nostrils, causing Lin Xiaolu to subconsciously take a few steps back.
"Ugh...cough cough cough."
The girl wanted to say something, but she couldn't catch her breath for a while. She coughed for a long time before she managed to force a smile. She slowly raised her head and said, "Don't worry... Ugh... The enemy has been dealt with."
"Ha..." Looking at the other person's appearance, Lin Xiaolu didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Now that the crisis has been resolved, then... uh... my mission ends here. I'll leave the cleanup work to you."
She made a V-sign with her hands to Lin Xiaolu, probably trying to look cool, but unfortunately the gesture didn't last long before it became deformed due to subconscious retching. The girl quickly withdrew her hand and covered her mouth: "No need to thank me, wait until we meet again... Ugh, we will naturally continue our relationship."
Then, without giving Lin Xiaolu time to reply, she covered her mouth, bent her waist, and once again turned into a golden flash, flying towards the distant sky.
Looking at the pale golden magic track in the sky, Lin Xiaolu was speechless for a long time.
She recalled everything that had happened in those few minutes, the girl's quick and decisive actions in killing the beast, and her bloomers that were completely exposed as her skirt fluttered in the air as she spun in the air.
After a long while, she slowly opened her mouth and said the first words after defeating the crippled beast.
“…Who are you?”
