Chapter 249 Escalating Further
For the vast majority of ordinary people at the University of Tokyo, tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
Whether or not people can adapt to this "new era," supernatural beings like magical girls and evil forces have already infiltrated the worldview of ordinary people.
Most of the university was brightly lit, and almost everyone was ready for battle, holding all sorts of weapons, such as kitchen knives or steel bars, for fear that the monsters would break into their homes.
Although the probability of such an event is extremely low, it is not zero percent.
Major cities are in complete chaos.
All sorts of information kept refreshing online, and some brave souls even livestreamed the battle between the Demon Surveillance Bureau agents and the Shadow Clan from their own windows.
Logically, these things should not be allowed to be made public, but perhaps the Bureau of Supervision did it intentionally. These video materials were not suppressed, but instead spread like a virus to countless computers.
Messages kept popping up, and the comment section under each new video quickly filled with hundreds of comments. In contrast to the chaos of the real world, an online frenzy was about to begin.
[So exciting! Absolutely so exciting!]
[Go get my halberd, I want to have a go with those weirdos, I'll give it my all!]
I saw my cousin! She's in the battle too! She's a wood-elemental magical girl, and she's incredibly powerful!
[Brother-in-law, be careful! Tell me where you live, I'll come protect you right away, wait for me!]
[Upstairs, you're talking nonsense. You'd be better off believing I'm Qin Shi Huang than believing his cousin is a magical girl.]
[Qin Shi Huang, let's see the power of the V50!]
[Why are there only magical girls? Grant me the power of light! I want to join the battle too! I want to contribute my strength to the peace of the Earth!]
Forget about it, your light was already lent out when you were a child (doge emoji)
[Guys, I bought a belt and just left a review saying "very new," and now it's transformed! What do I do?!]
Go fight! Why are you asking such trivial questions?
Oh no, he bought the real thing.
While the online arguments were raging, the real-world battles had already reached a fever pitch.
As gaps opened in the corners of the city, the entry of the heretical demons brought a new round of changes to the entire war. "As we predicted, the Shadow Clan's goal is not so simple. The Shadow Clan is just cannon fodder. Their role is to stir up chaos and keep the people in various cities in a state of anxiety, making it easier to open gaps that connect to the inner world."
Shangguan Su frowned slightly and raised her hand to rub her temples.
"Damn heretics, causing trouble at a time like this..."
After a brief pause, Shangguan Su gritted her teeth.
"It's alright, we've gotten used to it after all this time. If they want a piece of the pie, just fight back. The pot's already on the stove; one dish is stir-fried, two dishes are stewed, let's give them a piece of our minds!"
"But this might mean we have less manpower..."
Ring ring ring!
A sharp, urgent alarm sounded from the sensor next to Shangguan Su. This sensor had been silent since the start of the battle. Unlike other devices that kept flashing or alarming, this one was as quiet as if it were not plugged in.
But at that moment, the sensor emitted a violent tremor, accompanied by a piercing alarm that drew everyone's attention.
Just as Shangguan Su was about to say something, the alarm sounded and she suddenly realized something, so she looked at the large screen on the wall not far away.
"The breach has extended this far?"
On the screen, in a park not far from the headquarters of the Bureau of Demonic Cultivation, the once calm lake suddenly turned black, and then a huge head emerged from the water.
Judging from its appearance alone, it should be a crocodile, but its long, serpentine neck makes it look like some kind of ancient creature.
Inside the operations room, a young man suddenly stood up and exclaimed.
"An external force has appeared in area G-32-b; it's a Beast, a Class C Beast!"
Shangguan Su frowned slightly, just about to speak, when a delicate shout suddenly came from the earpiece channel.
(It's up to me.)
Upon hearing the voice, Shangguan Su's eyes flickered a few times, and she immediately realized that the voice must have come from the magical girl from Snow City, codenamed "Qing".
As one of the organizers of the meeting, and a descendant of Mr. Qin, this young magical girl naturally came into the view of many people.
Moreover, the other party's clothing style, which was clearly different from that of ordinary magical girls, also left a deep impression on Shangguan Su.
Be careful, pay attention to safety.
(knew.)
As soon as the words were spoken, on another satellite monitoring screen, a cyan figure was seen quickly spreading its wings, leaping out of the window of the Demon Surveillance Bureau building, and swiftly soaring across the sky.
The phenomenon of gaps in the Otherworld erupting has occurred across the country.
Whether they had already finished their battles or were still fighting against the Shadow Clan, the magical girls and spirit beasts all sensed the aura of the Heretic at this moment.
However, the emergence of a large gap caused the negative energy of the rise to begin to contract.
Like a stretched rubber band snapping back, the widespread negative energy created a gap in the inner world, freeing many heretical demons while suppressing their potential for further advancement.
In the central square of Lincheng, a Demon Surveillance Bureau agent who was cleaning up the battlefield suddenly shivered for no reason, a growing sense of unease welling up in his heart.
Just as he was trying to contact the branch office, a strange laugh suddenly came from afar.
The laughter sounded like it came from hell. The strange tone made the agents' hearts race. They stopped what they were doing, took out their weapons, and looked in the direction from which the sound came.
Immediately afterwards, even the square was suddenly shrouded in mist, with wisps of blood-red fog appearing from all directions. Within the mist...
A strange figure in red appeared and disappeared.
"It's a heretical demon! Prepare for battle!"
The man leading the group suddenly let out a shout, while he also gripped the short stick in his hand tightly.
"Captain, communications have been cut off. Something is interfering with our signal."
An anxious voice came from the side, but the captain was not surprised. In fact, from the moment he saw the other person, he had already prepared for the worst.
The guy in front of them was after them.
Or rather, he was drawn here by the Dark Crystal weapon!
"Everyone, listen to me..."
Just as the team leader was about to fight to the death, a streak of light suddenly tore through the blood mist.
Beneath the holy light, a girl enveloped in flames gracefully descended.
With a wave of his Star Staff, a ball of burning flames suddenly rose from the ground, forming a barrier of blazing fire that protected the agents of the Demon Surveillance Bureau.
The girl turned her head slightly. "Hey, the orders just came down: in case of emergency, seek help. Do you want to get a reprimand?"
"I was just about to let you know, but the problem is this guy cut off the signal."
Upon seeing the newcomers, the team leader felt a slight sense of relief, but his expression remained unchanged, still extremely solemn.
"Be careful, this heretic is different from those Shadow Clan members!"
Another city, a thousand miles away.
In the night wind, three monsters of different shapes struggled to crawl out from the crevice. Beside them, the Netherworld Scum appeared, howling and waving their scythes.
"Don't try to squeeze out if you can't get out, the gap won't stay stable for long!" The mechanical monster was the first to emerge, the indicator lights on his body flashing continuously, and a metallic sound echoing.
Next, the second one to appear was a rock monster, with purple liquid flowing from its body, emitting a strong toxicity. At the same time, the last Outer Path Demon also revealed its form, a beetle monster.
"Finally back here, yay yay yay!!"
"Following Lord Rakshasa's will, let's collect as much negative energy as possible before those magical girls can react!"
"I can't wait!"
The scent of flesh and blood, filled with negative energy, wafted into the olfactory systems of the heretics, instantly arousing their ferocity.
The monsters screamed and roared, their terrifying aura spreading outwards. The energy fluctuations they displayed...
Surprisingly, each of them has the ability to judge lower-ranking officials.
"Flesh and blood! Slaughter!"
The beetle's external mouth opening revealed rows of sharp, knife-like teeth.
Saliva dripped down his teeth and onto the ground, making a sizzling, corrosive sound.
A bloodthirsty desire surged wildly within him, and his frenzied roars echoed throughout the heavens and earth, a sound so deafening it seemed to tear the entire city apart.
The scum behind him seemed to be affected as well, their low growls of craving flesh and blood rising and falling.
The shrieks of the heretical demons echoed throughout the city, causing nearby windows to tremble slightly, as if even the tall buildings were shaking in fright.
Hey!
Amidst the roar, a sudden footstep sounded.
Tap, tap...
The voice of the heretic demon gradually weakened.
The footsteps were steady and firm.
It sounds like a walk.
But to the ears of heretics and demons, it sounded extremely jarring.
The Rock Demon turned slightly, and a middle-aged man with a simple appearance and a slightly overweight build appeared in his field of vision.
His gaze fell on the middle-aged man's face, and for no apparent reason, the Rock Demon felt a slight stinging sensation in his eyes.
At that moment, a hoarse voice came from behind.
"Did I disturb your enjoyment?"
"The greedy..."
The beetle demon grinned, its eyes filled with resentment and fear.
"It seems the rumors were true; you really are back."
The mechanical external demon indicator light beside him flashed incessantly, and the chassis emitted a faint rumbling sound. "Attacking Sir Skull isn't enough..."
Are you really going to stand on the same side as magical girls?
"Heh..." Chang Lei shook his head slightly, then looked up and asked in return, "So what about you? Showing up at this time, are you preparing to cooperate with those guys in the shadows?"
"Those who follow unorthodox paths do not cooperate with anyone!"
The beetle demon roared, its fear quickly replaced by killing intent.
"Do you really think you can stop us all by yourself!?"
"Attack together!!"
Seemingly provoked by the other party's pretense, the Beetle Outer Demon, along with the Mechanical Outer Demon and the Rock Outer Demon, also took action.
As Chang Lei stared at the heretical demons charging forward, a look of disgust flashed in his eyes.
"Fine."
Chang Lei reached out and pulled out a mask, a smirk playing on his lips.
"I'll play along with you guys."
