Chapter 1777: Chapter 1198: The Next Step of the Plan (This Damn Heat Is Killing )
“How long until we’re completely ready?”
“Are you referring to the network replacent? It’ll probably take so ti… about half a month, as we still need to debug and modify the entire system.”
Fortunately, although QB is an intergalactic alien civilization, the Magic Girl network they are involved in is limited to this planet. So, replacing the network is actually quite simple — following Ann and Alice’s suggestion, they plan to create a few artificial satellites and launch them into orbit around this planet to replace the Magic Girl network.
“Alright, let’s proceed with the next experint.”
“The next one?”
“Didn’t you say so?”
Duanmu Huai glanced discontentedly at Ann.
“You said individual cases aren’t universal, so you planned to capture a group of Magic Girls and modify them for Heroic Spirit Transformation, then see how they turn out.”
“… That doesn’t seem like sothing I said.”
“It all ans the sa.”
Duanmu Huai waved his hand grandly.
“Then let’s get ready to head out!”
“Eh? Where to?”
“Kana City! Isn’t there an independent network there, separate from QB? Based on previous experints, we’ve co to the conclusion that the network failed. In the end, the Magic Girls there still succumb to despair and beco Witches. Given this, the network no longer serves a purpose. Prepare for action, head to Kana City, thoroughly crush the Magius’s Wing, and seize the network they control to conduct modification experints!”
This was Duanmu Huai’s plan all along. After capturing QB and successfully restoring his original strength, the next step was to find a testbed to hone his skills. In this regard, the independent Magic Girl system in Kana City was the most convenient option.
“Then… what about Miki Sayaka?”
“Continue monitoring her, after all, observing the natural research value of a free-range white mouse is essential.”
“Ha, I knew you’d say that.”
True to his word, Duanmu Huai was decisive, driving the group at breakneck speed, and by dinner ti, they had already t up with others at a restaurant in Kana City.
“So your aning is… the Tribunal already has a way to cure Witch Transformation?”
After listening to Duanmu Huai’s explanation, Xitong Lingnao quickly asked, and Duanmu Huai waved his hand.
“I’m not sure, it’s just theoretical for now, as there haven’t been any experintal results… so…”
As he spoke, Duanmu Huai lifted the fork in his hand, nodding towards the opposite side.
“Who wants to try?”
“This…”
Faced with Duanmu Huai’s request, Nanami Yachiyo, Tamaki Iroha, Tomoe Mami, and Kyōko Sakura all seed a bit troubled.
“Didn’t you say there hadn’t been any experints yet? What if sothing goes wrong?”
Kyōko Sakura was the first to voice her objection.
“Oh, there’s one test subject. At least on the surface, she’s no different from a normal person.”
“So isn’t that fine?”
“Of course not.”
Faced with Kyōko Sakura’s inquiry, Duanmu Huai shook his head.
“We currently know that once a Magic Girl’s Soul Gem becos corrupted, they will turn into a Witch. However, Heroic Spirit Transformation involves reattaching the Magic Girl’s soul to her body, so we still don’t know if under these circumstances, a Magic Girl might still turn into a Witch.”
“So you want us to be test subjects?”
“Exactly.”
Duanmu Huai nodded.
“Who’s in? Let clarify, you can choose voluntarily now, but if you don’t, it will inevitably happen later.”
“Wait, what do you an by that.”
Upon hearing this, Nanami Yachiyo’s expression turned slightly grim, while Duanmu Huai rely raised an eyebrow.
“It’s exactly what I said. If you don’t voluntarily transform, we will destroy the Magius’s Wing, take control of this city’s Magic Girl network, and forcibly transform all Magic Girls to see what issues arise.”
“What?”
Everyone was stunned by this.
“This, such a thing…”
“The Tribunal can do this, we will too. To guard humans, sacrifices must be made. If you’re unwilling, we’ll have to make you sacrifice instead—see, it’s that simple.”
Duanmu Huai spread his hands, staring calmly yet indifferently at the Magic Girls in front of him, exuding an indescribable pressure.
“Don’t be ridiculous!”
Kyōko Sakura slamd her palm on the table.
“We won’t let you have your way!”
“That’s your decision. The Tribunal doesn’t care.”
Kyōko Sakura’s anger didn’t faze Duanmu Huai at all.
“The Tribunal doesn’t tolerate rejection, nor opposition. So this isn’t a negotiation; it’s a notification.”
“Then why not transform into a Magic Girl yourself and do it?”
“Uh…”
“Ugh…”
“Hmm…”
Hearing Kyōko Sakura’s retort, Homura Akemi, Qianshu, and An all had a change in expression and lowered their heads.
No, can’t rember, was finally able to forget…
“I have my own tasks to accomplish, hence why I sought you out. Now, are any of you willing?”
“I’ll do it!”
Unexpectedly, the first to respond was Tomoe Mami.
She tightened her grip, staring at Duanmu Huai, and volunteered. Her words took Kyōko Sakura by surprise, who turned to face her.
“Mami? You must be joking! Didn’t you hear this guy say that the thod for Heroic Spirit Transformation hasn’t been fully tested yet, isn’t it dangerous?”
“But at least the Tribunal inford us.”
Tomoe Mami turned towards Kyōko Sakura.
“Yet QB did not.”
“This…”
Kyōko Sakura was montarily speechless at Tomoe Mami’s response.
Indeed, as Tomoe Mami pointed out, Duanmu Huai’s words were harsh and direct, but he did tell you. Unlike QB, which said nothing, rely enticing them to sign contracts to beco Magic Girls…
“I don’t want to beco a Witch, nor do I want to die.”
Tomoe Mami lowered her head, looking at her clasped hands.
“I’ve been looking for a way to escape this predicant. If there’s truly such a thod, I definitely won’t miss it! At least the girl nad Miki Sayaka didn’t turn into a Witch due to despair over her unrequited love switching affections, right? Co to think of it, maybe it’s because her soul returned to her body, preventing it from being tainted?”
“Isn’t such a notion a bit naive? I doubt we’d get such a blessing.”
“That won’t stop from thinking this way.”
Tomoe Mami shook her head again, then looked at Duanmu Huai.
“Could I ask for your help?”
“Of course.”
Looking at Tomoe Mami, Duanmu Huai nodded.
If I knew you were this easy to persuade, I wouldn’t have bothered with a bike.
