Start with a rent-collecting magical girl.

Xi: "."

Linyi: "."

Tata: "Wow, what a cute heart~"

Before the earth girl with stars in her eyes could finish her envious voice, she heard only one sound.

Snapped!

Lin Yi clasped her hands together.

After 0.57 seconds of blank mind, she used the palm of her hand to cover the gem engraved with the "peach heart" emblem with lightning speed.

"Huh? Why did you put it away so quickly, Lin-chan! I haven't seen it clearly yet!"

Tata immediately muttered without concealing it, stretched his neck and leaned over to take a closer look.

Of course, he was quickly guarded and refused by the red-faced grass-type girl.

"Nothing, nothing to see!!"

"Aren't you just taking a look? Why are you so fierce? Lin-chan is so stingy, huh?

Then, as if out of anger, Tata took out his gem and deliberately said in front of Lin Yi: "Little Tata, in the future, you must get a bigger love tattoo on it. Then you can help your mother get back her place. Envy Shilin-chan, hum!"

Stupid, stupid Tata!

Don't get hung up on this kind of thing!

Her companions didn't know the Heart of Grass Mark, but she, Linyi, was very familiar with it. After all, there was a genuine one branded on her lower belly!

This was a special ability mark that was created after accepting the prop from that guy. Lin Yi originally thought it was from the evil side, but she never expected that it was actually on her gem.

how so!

"Lin-chan, besides the changes in the gems, do you feel anything else?" Xi, as the captain, was more pragmatic after being surprised, and was also very concerned about Lin Yi's strange attitude now.

Lin Yi came back to her senses and quickly waved her hand to indicate that she was fine, but soon she nodded again.

"I'm fine, but my magic power seems to have definitely changed."

"It feels like there is some new ability. I'm not sure yet. I may need to confirm it through meditation practice later."

Lin Yi had an idea and thought that this might be a good opportunity.

After all, the help of that guy's props in improving her strength is obvious to all, and her magic power will continue to skyrocket in the future.

When the time comes, Heart Steel's companions will definitely have doubts, and I just take this opportunity to find a reasonable excuse for her future improvement in strength.

Upon hearing Lin Yi's words, Tata had the biggest reaction.

At first she was happy that her companion had gained strength, but then she became dejected and slumped.

"It's over, now Tata is not only surpassed by that Concubine, but now you, Lin-chan, are also going to rise up, woohoo. If you go on and defeat Concubine and then Lin-chan, I won't have anything to lose from now on. I have to be thorough. It has become a stinky bottom."

"Hiss! Wait a minute, Sister Xi, Lin-chan, you guys said that the sudden increase in Concubine Jia's strength earlier is the same, is it related to the awakening of the gem!?"

As Tata spoke, he seemed to suddenly have a flash of inspiration and put forward a new guess, which diverted Xi's attention away.

Regarding the task of "killing Jia Fei", it was given to Tata by Senior Lei Yi. When she saw Lin Yi accompanying her there, she thought that it would be easy for two Blue Stones to deal with one Leaf Green, so she didn't think too much about it. focus on.

But then, unexpectedly, Tata lost.

Thanks to Lin Yi, who was the back-up man, and came to the rescue in time, Jia Fei was forced back.

Previously in the coffee shop, Tata had been talking about this while waiting for Lin Yi's kung fu.

Tata initially believed that the magical girl Jia Fei must have used some very dirty and evil means to gain such a rapid increase in power.

But now it seems that Lin Yi's gem change just now seems to have provided them with a new direction?

"Ah, yes, it does make sense, Tata, I didn't expect you to be so smart."

"Humph!"

Lin Yi secretly thanked the proud Tata and continued:

"So Captain, Tata, right now I feel that compared to Concubine Jia, it is still a matter of the Nightmare Transformer Organization, which is more important and more dangerous. Even Senior Lei Yi has focused his attention here, and our mission is also It’s going to change.”

"Well, I agree with Lin-chan. Concubine Jia can be put aside for now. The Nightmare Transformer is the biggest enemy right now." Xi nodded.

Since his companions were like this, Tata naturally wouldn't say anything to refute.

At most, he could just mumble quietly in his mouth and make a speech to Concubine Jia like "Let me let you go first, don't be complacent for too long."

In the following meetings of Heart of Steel, there was nothing worth paying attention to.

It was almost time for dinner, and the three girls returned to the room, chatting while eating, more of the usual kind of chatting.

Liao Baiyu naturally stopped paying too much attention and withdrew the traction mode on Lin Yi.

He is not a perverted peeping tom. It is enough to get the information, and he does not care about the private lives of girls.

so.

To be honest, Liao Baiyu was quite concerned about the changes in Linyi's gem at the end.

This is to be combined with a test he did before.

The skill inherited from the "Domination Eyepatch" allows him to transform any object without "self-awareness" into Paparu.

At that time, he tested many objects.

And one of them is.

Magic gem.

Magic gems from Xu Jiajia.

Liao Baiyu clearly remembered that for any object that met the "conditions", when he put his hand on it, a progress bar would appear, representing how much negative energy needed to be fed.

But when he put his hand on the magic gem.

Nothing.

When he tested it with kittens and puppies before, the effect was exactly the same, and the skill could not be triggered at all.

Here we should also mention the principle of the birth of Papalu summarized by Liao Baiyu.

Liao Baiyu believes that Papalu is not a mutation from other creatures, nor is it the product of assimilation and distortion of a life that already has a "self".

Papalu, just Papalu.

It should not be built on others, but on the race that is born after giving life to "dead things", or to use another word that is more appropriate - dependents.

Therefore, when Liao Baiyu saw that he could not convert the gem into papalu, he vaguely had this guess.

There are only two possibilities.

First, the power level of the gem is too high, which essentially blocks his ability.

The second is.

Could it be that the magical girl's gem is not a dead thing?

But

Do you also have some kind of "self" awareness?

Liao Baiyu was not sure whether it was one or two before, but now, from the scene where Xi mentioned the gem protector to Lin Yi, he was even more convinced that maybe the gem was really "alive".

A "living" dead thing.

what is this?

It's hard not to remind Liao Baiyu of his own Papalu.

Only on Papalu can these two contradictory words appear at the same time.

In fact, once this setting is used as the basis, many strange things can be explained.

For example, the Nightmare Transformer organization also came up with the concept of "eyes", which seemed to be similar to their own domination eyepatch, and also had a mental influence. As a result, they were directly bombarded by Xi's gems.

Looking back on my own side, I used props to subdue two magical girls, but why did I never meet any gem protectors?

Lin Yi even exaggerated it to the point that even the gemstones were engraved with the Heart of Grass pattern.

It can't be that gems are also following the evil trend of buy one, get one free.

Moreover, as Xi mentioned, the Nightmare Transformer's [Eye] also has another terrifying ability, which is the ability to transform humans into Nightmare Beasts.

This

Isn't this exactly the opposite of my own "Papalu"?

To create Papalu yourself is to give birth to yourself from dead things.

Nightmare transformers create nightmare beasts by twisting and alienating them from living creatures.

So if you look at it from the perspective of "gems", the latter is undoubtedly a kind of evil way, a poor imitation, and a kind of...

betray.

No wonder there was a violent counterattack.

So, reasoning comes, reasoning goes.

Liao Baiyu looked back again.

Um.

Why do you feel like you have gathered all the elements related to the "King" in the "Bible" that was regarded as the "canon" by the Nightmare Transformer?

broken.

After working for a long time, I finally found out that the king of nightmare beasts is actually me?
