Chapter 394 Unknown Mechanical Lifeforms

clang!

A deafening metallic clang suddenly erupted.

The intelligent robot only felt a blur before its eyes, and the next moment its forward-moving body came to a complete stop in mid-air.

Before it stood a girl radiating a faint golden light, silently staring at it with a calm, almost emotionless expression.

The girl's small hands gripped its arm tightly like iron clamps, and no matter how hard it tried, it could not break free from the grasp of her hand.

Compared to the burly mechanical robot, Katie's figure was far too petite. Yet, it was this seemingly delicate body that managed to stop the intelligent robot, which was launching like a cannonball.

Perhaps everyone else present is an ordinary person when they are not transformed, but Katie is no ordinary person. Her body is made of magic, or you could say that she is a magical girl who is always in a transformed state.

Two enormous forces began to collide, and neither side showed any intention of yielding, resulting in a stalemate.

Click...click...

A series of crisp sounds rang out, and Katie's face tightened. At this moment, she had even made a handprint on the arm of the intelligent robot.

The unknown metallic material seemed unable to resist Katie's power, twisting and deforming under her forceful squeeze. This terrifying power caused the red light in the intelligent robot's eyes to flicker slightly.

The intelligent robot felt as if it were wrestling with a train, the terrifying force causing its alarm system to send out error reports frequently.

"Buzz...Detected...Mechanical life..."

"...Traitor... *sizzle*... Annihilation..."

As a series of unintelligible mechanical sounds rang out, the intelligent robot's eyes suddenly flashed red, and a destructive energy began to rapidly gather.

But at that very moment, three dazzling beams of light—white, blue, and green—suddenly burst forth from behind Katie.

The scorching temperature plummeted, and the humid air was instantly covered with a layer of frost. The breeze seemed to take on a physical form, turning into blurry threads that bound the robot firmly to its spot. Then, a beam of green light, carrying terrifying energy, suddenly struck, passing directly over Katie's head and slamming into the robot's face.

Click!

A thunderous roar suddenly erupted, echoing through the empty corridor. The intelligent robot, unable to dodge, was blasted backward by the attack, exploding along with the lasers that had just gathered but hadn't had time to fire.

The intelligent robot, which had originally resembled a human, disintegrated into pieces amidst a series of clanging and shattering sounds.

Its head exploded from the inside, leaving only an eyeball rolling on the ground. Its body shattered into countless pieces of metal, with various internal devices and parts scattered all over the ground, and some liquid of unknown substance flowing out.

Its arm remained in Katie's hand, gripped tightly, which caused its internal devices to be pulled out along with some wires when the android was blasted away by the light wave.

Despite their successful attack, Tan Zhixin and the others remained vigilant, keeping a close eye on the mechanical wreckage on the ground, fearing that the broken pieces might be reassembled intact.

The remaining mechanical eyeballs still flickered with a faint red light, looking like candles flickering in the wind.

"Sizzle... sizzle..."

The mechanical sound emanated from some unknown part, sounding eerily strange in the silent environment.

"...Unknown energy reaction detected..."

"...all due to...a natural reaction..."

"Analyzing..."

"mistake..."

"...Re-parse..."

"Unknown naming discovered... in architecture..."

Codename: Magical Girl...

"...Sizzling life...destruction..."

"滋%*￥.."

A series of unintelligible metallic sounds continued to ring out.

Amidst the uncertain gazes of everyone, the red-glowing eyeballs gradually went out. At the same time, the metallic sound began to become muffled and gradually weakened until it fell completely silent.

The once chaotic corner of the corridor has now returned to silence.

Tang Cao, Tan Zhixin, and the others did not make a move. Everyone stood still, and Su Siyao also obediently huddled in the corner, not daring to move, waiting for the big shots' reaction.

The most surprised of all were Xiao Xiao and the ferret Nuomi, who were not far away.

The two women, one human and one ferret, were completely bewildered from the start. They had no idea what was happening here, and they were even more surprised that the women in front of them were all magical girls like themselves.

When did magical girls become so worthless? Three just left, and now four more have appeared.

"What exactly is going on?"

After a moment of silence, it was the ferret Nuomi who broke the silence.

Although it was certain that everyone in front of it was one of its own, the ferret's little black eyes were still full of wariness.

Who are you?

"Nice to meet you, we're magical girls from the Fantasy Society." Qin Nan nudged Tang Cao with her elbow, and Tang Cao quickly stepped forward. "I'm Bai."

"The Fantasy Society..." Ferret Nuomi frowned, seemingly deep in thought, then suddenly stood up. "You, you were the witnesses to the fall of the Tree Crown Kingdom!?"

"You've heard of us?" Tang Cao asked, somewhat surprised.

"I've heard so much about it!" Ferret Nuomi sniffed and darted over to the group, looking extremely excited. "The three of you thwarted the plot of a high-ranking member of the Outer Path Demon Clan. While that indirectly broke the ironclad rule that magical girls can't be exposed, you were helpless against a monster that wasn't afraid of sunlight. Besides, you directly influenced the establishment of the Magic Supervision Bureau. These things have already spread throughout the magical girl community!"

"Is that so?" Tangcao blinked. "We're so famous..."

"That's all minor. The key is that you're the rarest ice-elemental magical girl in the world!" Ferret Nuomi looked at Tangcao as if she were some kind of protected animal. "It's such an honor for me, Baron, to actually witness such a being in person..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Xiao, who hadn't said a word, walked over.

Her gaze remained fixed on Xiao Yue, her face filled with worry. "What...what happened to my second brother?"

Normally, one shouldn't casually reveal their family relationships, but the moment she called him "Second Brother," it was already exposed, so Xiao Xiao didn't care anymore.

In any other situation, she would greet her companion first, but now, her mind was in a mess.

"Your second brother isn't in any life-threatening danger, he just fainted," Tan Zhixin said softly. "You're a magical girl from the Shanghai branch, right? Contact the medical team and have them come over as soon as possible."

"Okay!" Xiao Xiao didn't waste any words and quickly took out her phone to call for help.

Meanwhile, the ferret Nuomi curiously examined the mechanical fragments on the ground; it was the first time he had ever seen such bizarre things.

"So what exactly happened here?" Nuomi turned her head and looked at Tangcao. "What's the background of this robot? It looks much more advanced than the ones the Magic Bureau is researching."

"I'm not sure either. We found our way here by following the shadow energy," Tang Cao said truthfully after thinking for a moment. "We thought there was a hidden shadow race here, but when we got here, we found that the robot was motionless, and this agent was lying here."

"Shadow energy? Yes, I sensed it just now too." Nuomi stroked his beard. "...Although the energy isn't strong, it's hidden inside this robot's head, it looks like...like..."

"It's like suppressing this robot, preventing it from moving freely?"

"Yes!" Nuomi nodded emphatically, then looked in the direction of the speaker, only to see a little girl helping herself to her feet against the wall. "Uh... why is there an ordinary person here?"

"This is my best friend..." Tang Cao introduced somewhat shyly. "We came to the comic convention together."

"Hmm..."

Nuomi blinked, not seeming to care too much.

Since the magical girl was revealed, some magical girls are still willing to reveal their identities to their friends. Although it is a bit against the rules to bring ordinary people to such a dangerous place, he doesn't need to meddle in this situation.

Instead, Nuomi focused her attention on the events that had just occurred.

"...So it was Xilan's magic that affected that shadow energy, causing this strange robot to break free of control and attack people? But that doesn't make sense. If that's the case, doesn't it mean the Shadow Clan was saving people?"

Hearing Nuomi's words, Tang Cao realized that tide Lan was the code name of the magical girl in front of her, and she fell into deep thought.

Yes, why would those monsters from the Shadow Clan do that?

Qin Nan glanced subtly in Tan Zhixin's direction. Others might not know, but she and Tan Zhixin were quite clear that if this matter was indeed related to the Shadow Clan, then the energy loss that Tan Zhixin had sensed earlier was probably not a misjudgment.

After all, the only being who can control shadow energy and actively save people is Shiyao.

Just as the group was deep in thought, Xiao Xiao put down her phone and turned around.

"I have already contacted the agents of the Bureau of Demonic Cultivation and reported the situation. They will be here soon. They may ask some questions, so I hope you can stay here for a while."

"Of course, we're curious about the robot's identity since this happened so suddenly..."

As Tang Cao was speaking, footsteps suddenly came from the end of the corridor.

"So fast?" Nuomi perked up her ears. "Even if the Demon Surveillance Bureau is nearby, isn't this speed a little too fast..."

'

Before the words were finished, the iron gate at the end of the corridor was pushed open, and Tang Zijun's figure appeared in everyone's sight.
