Chapter 77 Abyss Authority
Chapter 77 Abyss Authority (Two Chapters Combined)
In the following days,
Bai Yuze gradually adapted to his routine of going between three points: home, work, and home.
During this period, he lived a very comfortable life, spending his days either distributing exam papers to senior high school students or to junior magicians.
Mr. Hoshino had a full morning of classes, and with no one around to chat with, he began searching for clues about the Abyss activities in Yeqiu City.
The news mainly focuses on monstrous beasts, villainous witches, and magical girls, supplemented by various ghost stories. Often, the movements of monstrous beasts can be vaguely traced in these often overlooked news stories.
Based on the subsequent browsing and searching,
He discovered that the Abyss Calamity Beasts had been very active for the past few months, but ever since Demon Princess Iris handed over the Magic Equipment Guide to him and left Yeqiu City...
These abyssal monsters have basically fallen silent, and there are virtually no news reports about them on television.
However, the number of crimes committed by malicious mages has begun to rise, from a dozen or so cases to over a hundred cases now.
What puzzled him even more was that, according to his search on CCSA, Magical Girl Qingju seemed to be the last magical girl in Yeqiu City to be registered through a guide.
In the following months,
Apart from Bai Youqing, no new magical girl has appeared in any of the districts of Yeqiu City.
This is very abnormal.
Well, none of these things really concern him.
The fact that a magical elf from the city has been out of contact for so long means that the World Tree will likely send an inspector to investigate soon.
Besides, even if the sky falls, there's the tall [Kikyo the Magician] to hold it up; at most, he'll just have to take care of Uncle Li...
Grandma Tan and the others were brought to Qiuyuan No. 1 Middle School; they just need to guard this place.
Doodle.
Bai Yuzhe, who was playing with Kikyo the Magician, suddenly felt a vibration from his phone and couldn't help but check.
"Emergency assembly! We have a mission! Except for Han Xue, who will stay at Qiuyuan No. 1 Middle School to guard the premises, all other magical girls, assemble at the library!"
Bai Yuze's eyelids twitched slightly; it was truly a case of speaking of the devil and he appears.
Qiuyuan No.1 Middle School Library
Violet, who had nothing better to do, arrived the fastest. There was no one else around, and she didn't care.
I went to the bookshelf, picked up a book at random, and started flipping through it.
This mission is quite urgent, otherwise Bai Youqing and the others wouldn't have been called over.
A few minutes later, Bai Youqing and the others burst in, panting, and looked at Violet. "Senior Violet, do you know what happened?"
Violet shook her head and continued reading, waiting for Captain Chen Yuyi to arrive.
A minute or two later, Chen Yuyi walked in with a gloomy expression. "I just received news that an A-level calamity has occurred in Moon Bay, Changwu District. All magical girls in Yeqiu City are required to rush there as quickly as possible."
"Changwu District?" Bai Youqing was taken aback.
Changwu District doesn't seem to fall under the jurisdiction of their Gladiolus Magical Girls team.
Xia Qing seemed to notice Bai Youqing's confusion and explained in a low voice, "Changwu District is the core urban area of Yeqiu City, and the people living there are all rich and powerful."
"Oh, oh." Bai Youqing nodded as if she understood.
"Sorry, sorry, I'm late."
Qingju, her face flushed, was the last magical girl to arrive. From the beads of sweat on her face, it was clear that she had rushed here with all her might.
"It's alright. We can talk about the rest on the way. The higher-ups have already sent the site map to your CCSA. Remember, once you arrive at the site, prioritize your own safety. Don't be reckless. A-level disaster is still too early for you," Chen Yuyi said quickly.
The group arrived on the fifth floor, and amidst the colorful rainbow lights, they set off.
Their designated area is the bustling North Street in Changwu District.
Meanwhile, the Magical Girl Headquarters of Yeqiu City is located on the bustling South Street in the opposite direction. It's fair to say that this attack by the monsters has stirred up a hornet's nest.
The sky was blue with white clouds, and the sky was clear for miles.
Chen Yuyi, in her pale yellow gladiolus magical girl form, flew at the front to lead the way, while Violet flew at the rear to prevent any junior magical girl from falling behind.
"Captain, what levels of abyssal beasts are involved in this A-level calamity?"
Xia Qingfei flew to Chen Yuyi's side and asked.
Chen Yuyi said seriously, "As far as I know, the level of the calamity beasts that appeared this time is not actually that strong. The main reason is the involvement of the Abyss Demon General [Gray-Clad Man]. According to the satellite photos of the scene, the area was basically filled with black-clad men, covering the sky and the earth."
"Senior Jianlan, what level is that Abyss Demon General [Gray-Clad Man]? Is he very strong?" Bai Youqing asked, frowning.
"There are a total of eight Abyss Demon Generals. They are at the [Asura] level, but their strength far exceeds that of other calamity beasts at the same stage. We generally do not distinguish them according to their ordinary level."
"As for the Abyss Demon General [Gray-Clad Man] that appeared this time, there is very little information recorded in CCSA. He is always dressed in a gray robe, and no one has ever seen his true appearance."
The previously known ability was to summon countless black-robed figures, who were unafraid of death, unafraid of sunlight, and could be reborn infinitely.
"However, one thing is fortunate: it basically does not attack ordinary humans, and the harm it causes to humans is the lowest among the eight Abyss Demon Generals."
"But you should also be careful, anyone, whether human or magical girl, who gets targeted by the 'Grey Men' is basically dead," Violet added quietly from behind.
Gladiolus Mage:

She silently turned her head and gave Violet a resentful look. "Are you on the magical girl side or the abyss side? How can you demoralize your own team like that?"
But this is good, because she gave her special instructions to prevent the younger magical girls from underestimating her.
"The vice-captain is right, you all need to be more careful too."
Fortunately, the magical girls present were quite easygoing; they knew that a newbie like them couldn't possibly encounter the legendary "Grey Man."
More than not seeing the enemy, they were curious about what the mission of this sortie was.
"Senior Jianlan, what about our mission this time?" Xia Qing asked, puzzled.
These days, following Violet's instructions, the magical girl juniors basically stop calling their teammates by their given names when they're out in public, and instead use their nicknames.
As the team gradually becomes more standardized, Chen Yuyi feels both happy and worried.
"Yes, our mission is simple: to protect the citizens and rescue those trapped in the danger zone. As for finding and killing the [Gray-Clad Man], that's a task handled by designated personnel."
Chen Yuyi turned around and explained to her teammates.
"Who is that magical girl who came to slay the Abyss Demon General, Sister Yuyi? She must be very strong, right?" Bai Youqing asked curiously.
Chen Yuyi pondered for a moment and replied, "Kikyo the Magician."
Upon hearing that familiar name, Violet's heart skipped a beat, her leisurely mood instantly turned sour, and her indifferent expression turned somewhat gloomy.
"Tan, aren't you going to see your 'old flame'?"
A voice entered Violet's mind; it was the Abyss Elf, Butterfly, who always seemed to want more trouble.
Violet chose not to hear, saying that suspects often like to return to the crime scene to observe.
Her situation is quite similar now.
Before long, the group arrived at the bustling North Street.
The streets were deserted, with seven or eight Secret Service vehicles blocking off and surrounding every major city thoroughfare.
"Chief, the Gladiolus Squad has reached the designated location."
Chen Yuyi took out her Bluetooth earphones, put them on, and was already in combat mode.
Normally, every magical girl squad would have a liaison officer, but the Lancelot Squad is an exception, because its predecessor, the Violet Squad, never recruited a logistics liaison officer. Over time, the Magical Girl Headquarters and the Abyss Security Bureau have come to assume that this squad does not need a logistics liaison officer.
Seeing their captain do this, the other team members also put on Bluetooth headsets.
Soon, a deep, aged voice came through the Bluetooth headset: "Yes, Xiaoyi, the magical girl teams from Yeqiu City have mostly arrived. The calamity occurred last night, and someone only reported it this morning. Special agents arrived at the scene this morning to investigate, and the initial rating was C."
"However, after discovering traces of the [Gray-Clad Man] at the scene, I raised the Calamity level to A-rank, therefore..."
Please be careful.
The call has ended.
Chen Yuyi led a group of magical girls down from the sky and arrived outside the blockade. The special agents guarding there couldn't help but show a hint of amazement and relief when they saw their attire.
"What are the casualties among the personnel at the scene? Have any traces of the invasive animal been found?"
"Hello, Arbitrator, we have successfully evacuated most of the residents of North Street to the shelters, however..."

After the special operations team member finished describing the situation at the scene, he hesitated for a moment before continuing.
"But what?" Chen Yuyi frowned.
"However, it seemed that some people in the center of the street had not been evacuated in time. We wanted to go in to rescue them, but we found that the center of the street was covered by a thick fog. We couldn't see anything inside at all. In addition, we heard screams from time to time, so we were ordered to evacuate."
"Okay, then we'll take care of this rescue mission. You just need to guard the outside and not come any closer."
"Chen Yuyi instructed the special agents beside her.
"Okay, we'll cooperate with your operation from the outside." The thin special agent nodded repeatedly.
Chen Yuyi didn't say anything more, and led the magical girls into the center of the street, into the fog that the special agents had mentioned.
For special operations personnel, the pitch-black fog was a nightmare.
In the eyes of magical girls, it's basically no big deal.
In the past few days, Bai Youqing and her companions have greatly improved their combat skills and learned many new techniques.
For example, Abyss Detection, Abyss Mist Dispel, and Abyss Mist Probing.
As they entered the mist, the magical girls used their voyeuristic spells, and the previously blurry streets became clearly visible to them.
On the quiet street, all kinds of cars were parked in the middle of the road.
You can even see a few citizens hiding in their cars, shivering.
"Green Ivy and Green Tangerine, you are responsible for finding these hidden citizens and escorting them out safely."
"Senior Violet, I'll leave them in your care." Chen Yuyi walked at the front, her expression becoming somewhat serious.
Bai Youqing and Li Xuanyu nodded upon hearing the instructions. This was their first official mission, so how could they not be excited?
Violet, who was at the back, also gave a soft "hmm".
Upon receiving the order, Bai Youqing and Li Xuanyu began shouting throughout the city, their voices imbued with a touch of magic. Though not loud, their shouts penetrated buildings, ensuring that every hiding citizen could hear them clearly.
The downside is that it will also be attracted if there are monsters nearby.
Violet flew to a nearby building and looked around.
A fleeting glimpse of pale purple eyes,
In an instant, a three-dimensional map of the entire Changwu District appeared in her mind, and the traces of every Abyss Beast appeared on this three-dimensional map.
What is Abyss Authority?
It's similar to a giant network, where each unit has a fixed position.
They can connect to each other through a mental medium, and this network structure presents a hierarchical distribution, with superiors having meaningless absolute authority over subordinates.
And now, it's in her sight.
The highest authority over these calamity beasts is held by the Abyss Demon General [Gray-Clad Man].
She gently closed her eyes.
In an instant, it felt as if I had sunk into a void, into the pale blue abyss of the spiritual network world.
She skillfully evaded the Abyss Authority Network of Demon Princess Iris and Demon Princess Doro.
They arrived directly at the core of the abyss network of the entire Yeqiu City. At the very center was a huge pink flesh and blood bud that was spitting out purple mist. Around it were thirty-nine large tentacles connected to thirty-nine pink flesh and blood buds.
Beside each cluster of flesh and blood buds, there were also a dozen or so smaller flesh and blood buds. Countless thin tentacles were scattered around these flesh and blood buds, and each small tentacle was connected to a calamity beast.
Violet approached the enormous fleshy flower bud at the very center, and was about to reach out her hand...
With a bang,
A long spear, resembling a ghostly green, slowly appeared in her eyes—the Spear of Longinus.
This is the cursed guide for Demon Princess Iris.
Violet pouted; she had been refused an interview.
There was no other way but for her to switch to a different node for access control: the Changwu District network core.
This time there was no resistance whatsoever. In fact, the pink flesh and blood bud responded very enthusiastically, opening its mouth wide and pouring out a thick, moist sensation that enveloped her slender palm, as if trying to envelop her entire body. In response, Violet politely declined the other party's kindness at the moment she touched the flesh and blood bud with her spiritual touch.
She then opened her eyes and returned to the real world.
Compared to her usual pale purple eyes, this time her pupils now feature a seductive floral pattern with fleshy flower buds, signifying that she has logged into the core of the Abyss Network in Changwu District.
In other words, from this moment on,
All the calamity beasts in the Changwu District will be under her control, including the Abyss Demon General [Gray-Clad Man].
Violet glanced indifferently at North Street in Changwu District.
Chen Yuyi was right; the North Street they took over this time didn't have any particularly powerful monsters.
Most mid-to-high-level (Eclipse Moon - Fallen Sun) calamity beasts roam the city center area.
The magical girls gathered there were also the most numerous.
This full-view perspective is quite cool, but the only thing that takes some getting used to is that the monsters are green dots on the 3D map, while the magical girls are red dots.
What annoyed her even more was the flashing, fleeting red dot on the map.
It disappears for a while and then reappears.
This only means one thing: Kikyo, the magician, has brought that old woman here.
Whenever a monster comes into contact with a magical girl, their information is updated in real time on the 3D map. If the monster that came into contact with them dies...
The magical girl's location will then disappear from the 3D map.
