"The identification is complete. The deceased is likely Du Juan, the Free Magical Girl who joined the Witch Association two years ago."
Amidst the blaring sirens, Peony rubbed her eyes. "The leftover Polluted Magic Power was probably entirely burned away by Zi Yuan. Du Juan suffered serious injuries, reverted back to human form, so she looks no different from an Ordinary person."
Keke, who was nervously waiting for the results, imdiately breathed a sigh of relief, turned back happily to look at Yin Lian, "Captain, Captain, see, Peony senior said it’s a mber of the Witch Association. I told you, Teacher Zi Yuan must have her reasons!"
"Don’t get too happy too soon."
Yin Lian snorted, "Even if they are a mber of the Witch Association, it doesn’t an they all deserve to die. So are just pitiful people who were lured in... According to official procedures, after losing combat capability, they should be detained at the Tribunal, and only after thorough investigation can witch trials be carried out by the Tribunal. Zi Yuan killing privately is completely illegal and against regulations. If casualties occur in the course of battle, that’s one thing, but she clearly disabled the opponent and still dealt a fatal blow. It’s truly despicable."
Keke pondered a bit, "Maybe Teacher Zi Yuan felt it was dangerous?"
"...From where do you perceive that she felt it was dangerous?"
Beside them were two core mbers of the Cyan Cloud Sect, even if Zi Yuan had indeed lost her fighting capability, there would still be no danger.
An exasperated Yin Lian continued, "Even if they truly deserve to die, we could capture and interrogate them, identify other Witch Association mbers, so in every aspect, Zi Yuan’s killing was wrong. You shouldn’t always side with her, okay?"
"I’m not siding with her." Keke whispered, "It’s you, Captain Yin Lian, who are biased, right? Could it be because you previously got beaten by Teacher Zi Yuan and hold a grudge?"
"I certainly don’t." Yin Lian imdiately stiffened her face, "I always act impartially, never with selfishness. Actually, the Cyan Cloud Sect is an illegal organization. I am concerned you might be swayed by them. Even if this murder wasn’t innocent, it doesn’t an they haven’t killed innocent people before."
Peony yawned beside them.
Initially, she was off work today, but the sudden uproar between the Witch Association and the Cyan Cloud Sect forced her back for overti.
No overti pay from the Disaster Strategy Bureau...
After searching for Witch Association mbers and Jiang Si for half a day, she was summoned to the scene.
It’s due to the argunt between Yin Lian and Keke over the identity of the person killed by Zi Yuan.
Ah, really wished to go ho and sleep. Why must she gather evidence for these kids’ squabble...
"That’s just the style of the Purple Magical Girl." Peony said lazily, "Very few Witch Association mbers survive in her hands. This isn’t the first ti, nor a short-term thing. Rather than criticize her, let’s say the Witch Association’s misfortune is due to their poor judgnt and bad luck..."
Keke chid in, "Exactly, exactly."
Yin Lian promptly pulled her team mber aside, "Don’t go saying things that work against , okay!"
"What? Is there a problem with what I said?"
"Keke already has a favorable opinion of the Cyan Cloud Sect, and now you’re speaking on their behalf. If she’s swayed by them, what are we going to do? She’s a rookie we’ve managed to recruit to the Disaster Strategy Bureau!"
Peony imdiately realized, "Oh..."
In fact, the Disaster Strategy Bureau’s higher-ups maintain an ambiguous stance towards the Cyan Cloud Sect. After all, aside from competing for Disaster Beasts, there’s not much direct conflict with the Bureau, while their friction with the Witch Association is particularly intense.
To the Disaster Strategy Bureau, it’s apparent they hope the Witch Association and the Cyan Cloud Sect would destroy each other, so the Bureau can reap the rewards, taking down both illegal organizations together.
There are certainly many in the Bureau dissatisfied with the Cyan Cloud Sect, such as Susan from the Security Departnt. Although Yin Lian isn’t fond of that old hag, Susan’s dedication to the Bureau’s protection is undeniable. She loathes organizations opposing the Bureau, including the Witch Association and the Cyan Cloud Sect.
Yin Luo, her own elder sister, also detests the Cyan Cloud Sect, which sowhat influences Yin Lian’s opinion of them.
The Bureau also has those who appreciate the Cyan Cloud Sect, like Peony, who values the two Magical Girls with precognition abilities. Through prolonged encounters, so affection has certainly developed, and the opposing side never goes for the kill, having even aided her once or twice.
It’s just that the kids are a bit too sharp-tongued and need discipline.
So when Yin Lian tirelessly attempts to deepen the negative image of the Cyan Cloud Sect, Peony casually retorted.
Upon hearing Yin Lian’s concerns about Keke being taken away by the Cyan Cloud Sect, Peony imdiately switched her tone, "In fact, the Captain is right. Killing privately is ultimately wrong. The Cyan Cloud Sect has no such authority. We must strongly condemn the Cyan Cloud Sect’s violating actions! Keke, be careful around them. If they’re daring enough to kill Witch Association mbers today, they might murder Bureau mbers tomorrow, and perhaps massacre a city the day after. Don’t go astray."
If you go astray, then the Bureau loses another worker, and my workload will forever remain heavy...
Seeing Peony suddenly siding with Yin Lian, Keke couldn’t say much, only obediently uttered "Oh."
Though internally, none of it was absorbed.
Since their eting began, Yin Lian has nothing positive to say about the Cyan Cloud Sect, always portraying them as terrifying and detestable.
However, in one aspect, Keke actually shares similar thoughts.
No matter Teacher Zi Yuan’s reasons, killing is too shocking for a middle schooler...
