Ordinary people can also be the protagonist in a comic strip

That evening, late at night.

The battlefield had already become riddled with holes after the smoke cleared, and the area near the beach was littered with the remains of the octopus monsters after the explosion.

This area has been tightly blocked by the military, and no outsiders are allowed to approach here.

And this moment.

A black portal suddenly appeared silently, and a black mascot poked its head out, looked around, and after confirming that there was no one around, it floated out.

Looking at the octopus monster corpses all over the ground, Weiner was not surprised at all. Instead, he laughed strangely.

"Oh my, it seems that the battle during the day was really fierce."

Done.

I saw it floating high in the sky with its arms stretched out.

next moment.

A magical scene happened. All the corpses of the octopus monsters in the area, regardless of size, gradually melted into a pool of black unknown liquid at the same time. Then, as if pulled by some force, they floated into the air and gathered in the same direction.

After a while.

All the black liquid returned to the main body and reintegrated into Weiner's body.

After clearing his muscles and bones a little, Weiner took out his mobile phone from his mouth and started making a call.

The call was connected.

[From now on, all magical girl hunting plans will be terminated and all members will return. You will be given new orders, new missions, and new responsibilities. ]

[This is an order, no one may disobey, otherwise, the consequences will be at your own risk. ]

Done.

It put down its phone, and finally looked up at the starry sky and the bright moon, and said with emotion, "The good show is about to begin, and everything is under my control. Lao Lin, you should understand that from the moment I invited you, you can't escape. Whether you refuse or agree, the final result will not change at all, hehe~"

That's all for this.

In the dead of night, the only things echoing in the darkness were smug smiles that gradually faded away, and a figure that blended into the darkness.

-

at the same time.

"Lorraine, I'm coming in."

In the basement of the shrine.

The water god Xiaoye walked in quietly, carrying a bowl of steaming sweet soup.

Lorraine was obviously still working hard.

He seemed to be working harder than ever, even to a crazy degree. The water god Xiaoye called him several times but got no response.

Until the water god Xiaoye sat next to him and stared at him while he was working for a long time.

Lorraine then turned his head slightly to look at her and said with a slightly tired look.

"It's getting late, Xiaoye, you should go back to sleep first."

"It's almost midnight, do you want to continue?"

"It's almost done. The development of the secret weapon is close to 97%. I must do everything possible to complete it as soon as possible."

"Since it's almost done, there's no need to rush, right? You should go and rest first. Um...if you feel lonely, I'll keep you company, hehe."

Although he said this, in fact, the Water God Xiaoye had already placed the pillow on Lorraine's bed.

The reason why she brought the midnight snack over.

It was with the intention of acting first and reporting later that he came here. Lorraine was always at work, and she would definitely feel lonely alone. There would be no difference between that and sleeping in his room with her.

Lorraine said.

"I won't go to bed for the next two days."

"What???"

Water God Xiaoye almost thought she had heard it wrong.

"I will devote all my time to the final sprint of research and development. The sooner it is completed, the more security we will have."

"You'll ruin your body."

"That's better than being put on the chopping block and slaughtered at will!"

"Lorraine, what's wrong with you? You seem to be very strange since the battle today. You look very anxious. What are you worried about?"

"I……"

"Aren't we the closest family? If you have any concerns, you should come to me and discuss them. I will listen carefully."

The water god Xiaoye held Lorraine's arm and begged.

She really couldn't stand Lorraine working hard while she could only stand by and watch without doing anything.

She wants to do something too.

Lorraine obviously hesitated and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

The water god Xiaoye continued.

"Is there anything else that even I can't tell you?"

"Sorry, I'm not sure either. I just... just want to ease the sense of crisis that's lingering in my heart."

"Sense of crisis?"

"The appearance of the octopus monster today was too strange. Its purpose was not to attack the city. This can be clearly judged from its actions. So what was its purpose?"

"Didn't Xunzi say before that the octopus monster might be coming for us?"

"That's the problem."

"what?"

"That octopus monster is obviously a powerful giant monster. If its target is really us, then there must be a mastermind behind it who is even more powerful than it. The other party is testing the waters and using the octopus monster to force us to show up. It may be testing our strength, or it may be brewing a bigger conspiracy."

"This……"

The water god Xiaoye was stunned. She obviously hadn’t thought about that much.

Lorraine said solemnly.

"As soon as the octopus monster appeared, fierce battles broke out in other cities guarded by magical girls, but our city was the only one that remained safe and sound. It's clear that the other party was covering for the octopus monster. Isn't this enough to explain the problem? In any case, the enemy hiding in the dark has already started to take action against us, so we don't have much time left."

"So after the battle today, you came back and went straight into the basement until now."

Hear this.

The water god Xiaoye understood, understood everything.

Lorraine continued.

"The most dangerous thing now is that the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light. This is the worst. We don't know the details of the enemy, so there are many things that we can't judge, and the enemy has more room for maneuver than us."

"Neural docking device, isn't that good enough?"

"It's already obvious from the daytime battle that after we connect with each other, we can indeed get a huge increase in mobility and combat power, and complement each other... Unfortunately, our defense is extremely fragile and can't withstand even a single heavy blow. I'm sorry, I'm holding you back."

Lorraine knew.

Compared to Magiya Azure who was strengthened by magic, he, as an ordinary person with mortal body, instantly greatly reduced Azure's defense ability.

perhaps……

That's the price.

It's like using all your money to buy spears and props, but ending up with no money to buy armor, which would put you in a dangerous game.

Life and death are just a matter of moments.

And what Lorraine is doing now... is to fill in the missing armor!

The neural docking device is the key core.

As for external devices.

It was the armor imitation technology that Lorraine stole from a superhero company. It involved too many cutting-edge scientific and technological elements, and Lorraine copied and stole it in a hurry.

As for the incomplete parts of the technology, Lorraine combined the equipment development technologies from many cultivation worlds and used a combination of multiple technologies to find substitutes.

Therefore, the development not only consumes huge manpower, financial resources and material resources... but also has frequent bugs that are difficult to fix.

Put it before.

Lorraine is absolutely too lazy to do such things. What he likes most is to start the game with a broken knife, and sneak attack the fully equipped enemy in tattered clothes. At worst, he can die and start over, exchanging the minimum loss for the maximum gain.

Not now.

He took out many long-treasured treasures from the warehouse, went into battle fully armed, and if he died, he might be looted by others.

After all, what a hoarder cannot accept the most is that he works hard for decades only to have it all given away to others. This is more painful than killing him.
