Chapter 1720: Chapter 1155: I, Qin Shi Huang, Demand Money (From Mountain Top to Bottom, Truly Miserable)
To be honest, although Qianshu had felt like she was dreaming before, when she witnessed Duanmu Huai’s battle, she still felt like she was truly dreaming.
Those monsters were at least two or three ters tall, and in front of them, the petite girl in a cloak seed utterly vulnerable; however, the reality was completely different.
“Haa—!!”
Accompanied by a rough shout that did not sound like a girl’s voice, Qianshu watched the girl in front of her suddenly lift the War Hamr in her hand and smash it down onto the enormous plush monster before her. At the sa ti as her hamr struck the plush monster, dazzling Thunder and Lightning erupted from it, spreading in all directions and hitting the other plush monsters nearby.
The plush monsters struck by the Thunder and Lightning instantly ignited like candles, and flas burst forth from their bodies; within monts, dozens of plush monsters scread and were reduced to ashes, consud by the flas.
“#（）&#（*@*…@!&!!”
However, this scene naturally caught the attention of the huge monster known as the Witch. It raised its hand and let out a shrill scream that sounded like noise, and then the yarn-woven trees, plants, and buildings around them disintegrated into threads and swiftly charged towards the girl.
Facing the threads rushing towards her, the girl did not dodge nor resist; she allowed herself to be tightly bound by the threads around her body and limbs.
“W-wait, Xiao Ai!?”
Seeing this scene, Qianshu imdiately cried out in surprise. Although she did not understand what was happening between the two sides, she knew that being bound by the enemy was a very bad situation!
However… compared to the panicked Qianshu, Duanmu Huai calmly raised his head and stared at the Witch in front of him.
“You think you can compare with at this level?!”
As Duanmu Huai spoke, Qianshu watched in surprise as Duanmu Huai, who was tightly bound, lifted his arm directly and even reversed his hand to grab the yarn threads wrapping around him, then pulled forcefully!
“Boom——–!!”
It was an unimaginable, inconceivable scene that defied common sense; the girl, who was not even 1.7 ters tall, raised her hands, and with her pull, the Witch, a colossal figure at least as high as five floors, was suddenly yanked into the sky!
“………..”
Seeing this, Qianshu’s mouth opened into an “O” shape, unable to close. At the sa ti, Duanmu Huai also leaped into the air, gripping the War Hamr with both hands, like a cannonball, he flew towards the Witch’s forehead. His cloak completely unfurled at that mont, revealing the face hidden inside.
At this mont, Qianshu felt her heart suddenly tighten.
The other party had always worn a hood, enveloping themselves in the cloak, so Qianshu had never seen their appearance so clearly. But when the hood was removed, revealing the true visage hidden within, Qianshu felt as though everything in the world suddenly dimd for an instant. It was as if, at that mont, the only existence in the world was the girl herself, with skin as pure and white as snow, golden hair that shone like the sun, bright star-like eyes, and exquisite features that seed to embody the word “beautiful,” like an angel, completely capturing Qianshu’s heart.
This must be what it ans to be entranced, as if even one’s Soul is utterly drawn to the other, unable to look away, completely forgetting everything around…
The Witch also seed to feel the sa way, staring at Duanmu Huai in front of it. Its movents suddenly slowed, as if completely captivated, rely staring blankly at the girl before it.
anwhile, the War Hamr in Duanmu Huai’s hands smashed down again, striking heavily between the Witch’s forehead.
“Aaahhhhh——-!!!”
As Duanmu Huai’s strike landed, the Witch shrieked as if waking from a nightmare. However, the situation was already hopeless. With Duanmu Huai’s relentless blows, the Witch’s head exploded and cracked. It desperately extended its hand, trying to grasp sothing, but soon it fell backward, crashing to the ground.
Imdiately afterward, the surroundings began to blur like a mirage, flickering in the air, then slowly vanished.
When Duanmu Huai landed on the ground again, they found themselves back in the previous abandoned factory. Neither the strange world nor the equally bizarre Witch nor the furry monsters were anywhere to be seen.
“Hoo…….”
Sighing lightly, Duanmu Huai put his hood back on, and at that mont, Qianshu seed to snap back to reality, looking around in surprise.
“Huh? We’re back? Was that… not a dream?”
“Why? Do you think it was a dream?”
Speaking as he crouched down, Duanmu Huai reached out and picked up a strange object from the ground. It looked like a circular piece of jewelry, except it was black, with a long sharp point underneath… so after defeating the Witch, this fell out?
What’s it for?
Duanmu Huai looked at it… hmm, completely baffled.
“Everything that happened earlier shouldn’t be a dream or illusion…”
At this mont, Qianshu also walked over, looking around in bewildernt. To be honest, she hoped it was so kind of illusion or that she had just been dreaming. But unfortunately, Qianshu had already checked her ammunition… indicating that everything that just happened was not a dream.
“I really never expected sothing like this to happen…! So the so-called mass suicide was actually the Witch’s doing? It even killed the factory owner’s daughter… Absolutely unforgivable! Uh… why are you looking at like that?”
Qianshu exclaid indignantly, only to realize that Duanmu Huai was staring at her wordlessly. Then, Duanmu Huai suddenly spoke.
“Actually, I’m the reincarnation of Qin Shi Huang. I need to go back to unlock my tomb and claim my treasures, but since I don’t have the money, I can’t return. Transfer 500,000, and after I unlock the tomb, I’ll give you half of the treasure.”
“…… Huh? What are you talking about?”
“What I an is, do you believe the animal, or do you believe I’m Qin Shi Huang?”
“Uh………. you an, that animal was lying?”
“At the very least, it definitely didn’t tell the truth.”
As a Judge, Duanmu Huai never trusts any species other than Humans, let alone anything with ‘I am suspicious’ written all over it.
“Really?”
“Of course, I’m not asking about it, whether the daughter of the deceased factory owner was a Magic Girl or a victim of a Witch? You rember how it answered, right.”
“Hm… It said both sides are.”
“That’s right, but why use such a complicated explanation, couldn’t it just say the witch killed her?”
“Uh… Now that you ntion it, that seems right.”
“Also, didn’t you notice that this guy isn’t anything good?”
“… Did I?”
“Of course, you rember what I told you earlier, about how this factory almost went bankrupt due to a mistake leading to late delivery, and then suddenly the goods appeared in the custor’s warehouse, dodging the crisis, right.”
“Ah, are you suggesting that was the wish the girl made when she beca a Magic Girl with QB?”
“Exactly, did you notice anything wrong?”
“Wrong?”
“… Hah.”
Seeing Qianshu puzzled, Duanmu Huai silently sighed.
“Let tell you this way, suppose you’re fighting an enemy, and at the mont you’ve run out of ammunition, suddenly this thing shows up and says, ‘Sign a contract with to beco a Magic Girl, I can grant you one wish.’ Would you wish to fully replenish your ammo or directly wish to eliminate the enemy?”
“Probably the latter, obviously I can easily eliminate the enemy, why would I need ammo… Ah!”
At this point, Qianshu suddenly realized what was wrong. Indeed, as Duanmu Huai said, the factory faced a huge compensation crisis due to its inability to deliver on ti. You could wish for tily delivery, but wouldn’t wishing for the factory to suddenly gain billions be easier?
After all, it’s about risking your life to beco a Magic Girl in battle, if it’s any wish, surely you’d choose the highest return, right?
After all, even if you stock up the goods this ti, who knows if the sa thing will happen again next ti?
“Kids might not think of so much, but does that animal not understand either? Does it look like it reminded the other party?”
“It… doesn’t look like it.”
Even if it’s a kid, once the pros and cons are explained, they would know it’s clearly not worth risking their lives to pass only one hurdle.
It’s like wishing to score 100 in this sester’s final exams, what about the next sester? Would you risk your life for just this one exam? At least it should be scoring a hundred every sester.
Isn’t this sothing even kids understand?
“In other words…”
“That guy goes around looking for kids to sign contracts, maybe thinking kids are easily deceived.”
Duanmu Huai snorted coldly, his gaze icy cold, previously he thought that Magic Girls should belong to those destined protagonists seen in his animations, but now it seems this is a trade anyone can randomly contract into. Even if not everyone can, at least QB seems to be open to everyone.
So the question arises, what exactly is this thing?
Duanmu Huai didn’t sense any subspace aura from it, so it definitely isn’t a subspace Demon, then what exactly is it?
Is it so enthusiastic about finding people to sign contracts for the Guardians of humans?
No one would believe that, right?
“Co to think of it, where did that speaking white animal go?”
Qianshu looked around, but no longer saw a Shadow of QB.
“Seeing we’re not easy to deceive, it ran away long ago.”
Duanmu Huai snorted lightly, when he started dealing with those Monsters, QB had already slipped away without a trace, clearly realizing it couldn’t complete its business, so it fled early.
“I see, the more you talk, the more suspicious it seems.”
Upon hearing Duanmu Huai’s answer, Qianshu nodded, then curiously looked at Duanmu Huai, who had put the hood back on.
“Why hide yourself, isn’t it beautiful?”
“It’s more convenient for battle.”
To Qianshu’s question, Duanmu Huai just shrugged, the Charm-filled clone also has a “Charm” skill similar to the body’s “Fearful Aura,” except unlike the fearful aura that requires a willpower check every round, the clone’s Charm skill is diminishing.
That is, the first confrontation will definitely get chard, and each round the opponent’s resistance gradually increases. This is the difference from the body’s “Fearful Aura.” After all, with “Fearful Aura,” if the opponent’s will is tough enough they can resist in the first round, but the clone’s “Charm” ignores resistance and hits on the first round.
That’s why when Duanmu Huai clones, he usually chooses to hide his true face, either using so transformation tool like before in Night City, or directly wrapping himself up, and when facing a BOSS, just reveals his true face at first, then no matter what resistance and immunity the BOSS has, it will definitely suffer a round of charm, then Duanmu Huai proceeds with a sneak attack to deliver a critical hit, basically smashing most mini-BOSSes to death.
“So… now what?”
“What else can we do?”
Duanmu Huai looked at the strange black ornant in his hand.
“Let’s go back and study what exactly this thing is.”
