As Cui Que hurried to the location marked by the positioning spell, the people on the scene had already been evacuated.
Without their leader, the remaining black-clothed figures were no match for the few magical girls. Realizing the situation was lost, they scattered like birds and beasts. Except for a few bewildered individuals, no one chose to resist. They either fled or surrendered.
Most of the elderly and children in the welfare ho were rescued, but a few caregivers and security personnel sacrificed themselves in the process of resistance, casting a somber atmosphere over the scene.
Cui Que landed at the entrance of the welfare ho from the air, focusing her attention on sensing magic power. Soon, she discovered the aftermath of the previous battle.
It was not difficult to see, as the ground was littered with broken walls and the cracked road surface was almost unrecognizable. The surroundings were all marked with traces of magical impact.
Then, she saw the three magical girls gathered together.
More precisely, Xia Liang had transford back to her original form and was lying on the ground, while another green-haired magical girl she had never seen before was enveloping herself in magic power. Lin Xiaolu was sitting on the side, looking on.
This scene caught her off guard, and she quickly descended, running to the girls' side.
"I'm late. What happened?" she asked anxiously, looking at Xia Liang lying on the ground, surrounded by a green magical light, her eyes closed peacefully.
"Ah, Cui Que, you're here. Have you defeated the enemies on your side?" Lin Xiaolu, sitting on the ground, first brightened her eyes with so surprise. But then, she looked a bit disappointed and lowered her head. "I'm sorry, I made a mistake halfway, and Xia Liang protected ..."
She couldn't continue.
Because Xia Liang's injury did indeed result from her carelessness. If she hadn't used the inexplicable white magic power later, the few magical girls present would probably have been wiped out due to that mistake.
Although she was ntally prepared, she still didn't want to see the disappointed look in Cui Que's eyes.
"How could this happen..."
On the other side, upon hearing Lin Xiaolu's words, Cui Que stared at her with so difficulty.
She didn't expect that even after she had quickly dealt with the enemies upon receiving the news and rushed to the scene in a hurry, such an accident would occur.
Xia Liang had actually sacrificed herself.
Not knowing what to do, she could only kneel down lightly, holding Xia Liang's hand with so sadness, looking down at Xia Liang's peaceful face, at a loss for words.
She rembered the girl's usual smile, and she rembered her background and her longing for love that she had told her about.
And now she had died here, and everything she had previously looked forward to was no longer relevant to her.
She had accepted her to beco a magical girl because of her talent, and she had been confident that she could protect this talented seedling. But with just one crisis, such an accident occurred.
"I'm sorry. If I had noticed sothing was wrong earlier and co over sooner..." she closed her eyes, her voice heavy.
—"What... are you saying, little senior?"
However, before she could finish her sentence, a familiar voice interrupted her, coming from the ground.
Cui Que opened her eyes in a daze, only to see Xia Liang looking at her with confusion, wearing a sowhat embarrassed smile. "Although I'm sorry to interrupt you, I have to clarify that I'm not dead yet, okay?"
So Cui Que was stunned.
She stared blankly at Xia Liang for a few seconds, then turned her head to look at Lin Xiaolu, who was also wearing a similarly embarrassed expression, and finally looked at the newcor who hadn't yet understood the situation.
"...If I had co over earlier, there wouldn't have been so many innocent sacrifices."

She said this like she was reciting a script, emotionless and dry.
After speaking, she straightened her face, intending to stand up. "I'll go to the welfare ho area over there to check the number of victims and the remaining injuries and inform the Bureau of Special Tactics."
"We've already inford the Bureau of Special Tactics over there."
Little did she know that this path had also been blocked. Xia Liang used the calst and most frivolous tone to say, "The battle over here has already ended, and the first ones we inford were the Bureau of Special Tactics. Your phone couldn't get through, and we were planning to find you later."
"Rather."
She teased, squinting her eyes and raising the corners of her mouth. "Little senior, did you think I was dead just now? Are you very sad? Are you feeling sorry for ?"
This sentence imdiately caused a commotion on the scene.
"Eh? Cui Que, did you think Xia Liang was dead?"
Lin Xiaolu finally understood the inexplicable conversation just now and exclaid. Then she saw Cui Que staring at her expressionlessly and realized that she had misspoken, hastily waving her hands and explaining, "No, I didn't say that! I just wanted to say that she got hurt protecting and is already reflecting on it!"
She was completely unaware that her remarks, which absolved herself of all responsibility, had completely undermined the last step under Cui Que's feet.
White Jingxuan, who was on the side, finally understood after hearing her words. She looked at Cui Que, who had just arrived at the scene, disheveled and dusty, and her expression beca sowhat subtle.
She wanted to laugh, but the people in front of her were probably her seniors, so she shouldn't be so rude.
But in her eyes, this seemingly younger girl who had just arrived at the scene and got the situation wrong, almost cried for her teammate who was still being treated, looked a bit cute.
Although she seed a bit aloof on the outside and seed difficult to get along with, she didn't seem that way when she spoke.She thought to herself.
"…It's good that everything is okay."
On the other side, knowing that the joke she made was irreparable, Cui Que could only nod helplessly and respond dryly.
Then she couldn't help but glance at Lin Xiaolu.
"Shouldn't we be saying sothing else here?"
But Xia Liang, lying on the ground, shook her head and looked at Cui Que with clear eyes. "Senior, didn't you notice? Little Lu was a great contributor in this battle."
This statent woke Cui Que up.
She then realized that the battle had already ended before she arrived.
Xia Liang was obviously incapacitated due to severe injuries; the green-haired newcor beside her also seed to be in bad shape; only Lin Xiaolu, apart from looking a bit tired, had no injuries at all.
Without a doubt, Xia Liang's words were true. In this battle, the three newcors defeated an enemy that Cui Que thought was impossible to defeat, and her daughter played a crucial role in it.
Looking at the chaotic surroundings and guessing what kind of intense battle took place here, she turned to look at Lin Xiaolu.
Lin Xiaolu, who was beside her, heard Xia Liang ntion her na and saw Cui Que looking at her, only then did she realize that she had forgotten to take credit because she was afraid of being blad.
She originally wanted to say more, but when she recalled what she had thought during the battle, her ears suddenly felt hot.
In the end, under Cui Que's gaze, she just nodded inwardly. "Yes, we won against that enemy."
Cui Que's gaze softened after hearing her daughter's affirmation.
She had been overly protective of the newcors before, so she really couldn't believe that they could defeat such an enemy after leaving her.
Perhaps her thoughts on this matter were indeed too conservative. But being proven wrong in this way only brought her comfort.
The previous little embarrassnt seed to beco less important, and she rembered the brutal beast she had taken care of on the way here, and looked at the three girls present, feeling a sense of clarity in her heart:
"Very good, you did great, I'm proud of you!"
