Start with a rent-collecting magical girl.

It has been 23 minutes since the black curtain broke.

Crescent Private School is located in the 13th District of City

The spread of nightmare beasts does not grow linearly but in a stepwise manner.

This can be seen from this report.

"Madam, according to model calculations, it is estimated that in another seven minutes, 7% of the occupied area of ​​the 27th District will reach %. After minutes, % of the citizens of the th District will suffer mass casualties."

"After twenty-five minutes, 43% of the infrastructure in the area will be completely irreversibly damaged."

"In thirty-two minutes, District 13 will become history."

On an official government helicopter, a young girl in military uniform was reporting to a lady sitting in the helicopter.

The term "lady" here does not refer to the number of famous brands and jewelry she wears, but more to the temperament of her gestures.

Even at this critical moment of crisis, the woman on the helicopter seemed completely unfazed. She crossed her legs up and down, sitting in the fuselage in a very lazy and relaxed posture, looking down at the plane below. District Thirteen.

The lady nodded to the report of the girl in military uniform next to her.

Her black and red-soled high-heeled shoes were tapping the floor lightly, and her small fingers tapped on the small table: "Really? It seems like the situation is really bad."

She said it was bad, but from her tone and actions, there was no sign that the lady was worried at all.

Instead, her lips, painted with dark red lipstick, seemed to be slightly raised, as if she was expecting something.

Seeing this, the serious young girl in military uniform beside her couldn't help but said again:

"If the government forces want to intervene, madam, I think we should do it as quickly as possible. It is best to dispatch it now. If it is delayed further, after the fifteen-minute mark, even if the "Valkyrie" troops are dispatched, they will not be able to reverse the situation. situation."

"Oh? However, most of the Valkyrie troops are still performing missions elsewhere. Just the few of you in City X, if you want to stop the spread of the nightmare beasts, you will definitely have to pay a heavy price in casualties."

Upon hearing the lady's words, the girl in military uniform became even more anxious.

"Madam, from the beginning when you established this army, we have dedicated everything to humanity. I am not afraid of sacrifice, and I believe that the same is true for all other members of the Valkyrie Army!"

"Everything is for the glory of mankind!"

The girl in military uniform made a fist with one hand and placed it in front of her chest.

If you look closely, you will find that there seems to be a translucent crystal in the badge next to the chest of his military uniform. It looks like a gem, but is much more fragile and smaller.

The crystal is inside the badge, and emits a faint fluorescence along with the girl's passionate emotions.

It's a pity that the girl in military uniform only received such persistence from the noble lady. Although her voice was gentle, her words were full of cold answers.

"Remember what I told you, all mankind is now a whole, a community. In order to avoid the worst ending of destruction, everyone has the obligation to sacrifice."

"This is the case for the Valkyrie troops, the same for the citizens below, and the same for those magical girls, including me, of course."

"It is my job and responsibility to make the cheapest sacrifice in exchange for the highest reward. In my opinion, you are much more important than District 13."

"After all, this isn't a developed urban area, is it?"

The lady is right.

District 13 is not a key urban area in X city.

There is no concentrated industrial park here, nor is there much developed core business. Although it is close to the bay, it has been abolished and banned by other districts very early due to policy reasons.

This also made the former Thirteenth District once a backward and poor area in X City.

It was not until Xingyue Group's investment that the Thirteenth District gradually developed, but until now, the development has just reached the mid-level level.

in other words.

What the lady wants to express is that District 13 can be abandoned at will. It is better to use this place as an experience and testing ground to observe what the first shady rupture in human history is like.

Such coldness and cruelty made the subordinate girl who had been transferred from the army to silence for a moment.

But soon.

"Geez, you don't really take what I said before. After all, I was still a magical girl. How could I do such a desperate thing as stand by and watch millions of people die?"

The lady stood up with a smile. She reached out and touched the face of the girl in military uniform next to her.

The soft touch came from the young skin. The lady's slender fingers went down her face, unbuttoned the collar of the girl's military uniform, slid across the girl's white neck, and finally landed on the medal on the girl's chest.

The gem-like crystal inside the medal also seemed to be afraid of the lady's fingers, its light flickered very weakly, and it tried its best to avoid it.

The girl in military uniform also lowered her head, her whole body was trembling, and she did not dare to resist the lady's touch.

Seeing that her subordinates were so afraid of her, the lady didn't mind, or in other words, she was helpless.

She stretched out her hand and lifted the chin of the girl in military uniform to raise her head, then gently tidied the girl's messy hair, and finally said softly:

"You are all my children, so just trust [Mom], okay?"

"Yes, ma'am."

As soon as the girl in military uniform finished speaking, the noble lady originally wanted to say something, but as if she sensed something, she suddenly looked away and focused her attention back on the thirteenth district below.

This made the girl in military uniform feel relieved, but soon, the scene that followed shocked the girl in military uniform.

I saw.

The nightmare beast craze that originally ran out of the school and started to spread in the thirteenth district, all the nightmare beasts, no matter where they were, suddenly stopped moving at the same time.

The next moment, the nightmare beasts all turned their heads, as if they had been called by something, and as if they were attracted by something, they all ran away in a certain direction.

Whether it was the security closing down and taking the opportunity to fight back, the panicked citizens on the road, or even the attack of the magical girl, nothing could stop the nightmare beast.

They ignored everything, no longer destroying, no longer killing, and no longer fighting. It was as if all their thoughts were unified instantly, and there was always only one firm thought, which was to pursue "a certain direction".

In this scene, the girl in military uniform on the helicopter was in a mess.

"This, how is this possible?"

"This has never been calculated in the model."

She was shocked and didn't understand the strange behavior of the nightmare beasts now, especially when she saw the beasts running around desperately, which even sent chills of fear down her spine.

But the other person on the helicopter was completely opposite to the girl in military uniform.

The lady's gaze seemed to be looking further. In order to see more carefully, she almost leaned out of the helicopter. The whistling airflow from high altitude blew the lady's coat into pieces, but she didn't mind at all.

Like the nightmare beasts, she was looking in a certain direction. At the same time, on the lady's originally graceful and quiet face, there was a sickly and crazy smile that seemed to be like the crazy nightmare beast below.

But in this distorted expression, there is something that seems to be extremely pure maternal love.

"I knew the little guy wouldn't let me down."

"after all."

"That's me, the proudest child."
