You wouldn't want them to be bullied, would you?

"We can only take one step and see..."

Qiu Bi sighed softly.

If all else fails, he'll have to randomly select an unlucky person and use them as a "tool" to farm resurrection attempts and power.

After signing a "contract" with someone, Qiu Bi can vaguely sense whether the contractor can bear the ability when granting it.

If the contractor cannot withstand the corresponding power, he will die on the spot, but Qiu Bi will still have the chance to be resurrected and obtain the contract fragments.

Shortly after, the bus drove into the underground parking garage of the Babylon Laboratory, and then staff from the Babylon Laboratory led the group on a tour of the laboratory.

The area available for visits is limited, but everyone is given a chance to see a portion of the area in each department.

Therefore, Qiu Bi set his sights on the advanced systems department and devised a way to break away from the team.

……

at the same time.

Celine sat quietly in the corner of the room, patiently waiting for night to fall.

She absorbed a significant amount of Honkai energy from the Honkai reactor last night, greatly enhancing her strength.

Before returning to her room, Celine made a point of checking on Bella.

Unfortunately, Bella had already died in her room, and her body was still slightly warm.

Celine lingered in front of Bella's body for a long time until researchers from the Babylonian Laboratory came to deal with it, at which point she returned to her room.

At this point, all of Sirin's beautiful fantasies about "magical girls" were shattered, leaving her only with the obsession of revenge and returning home.

"Big brother has been lying to Sirin all along. There are no magical girls in this world. There are only 'demons' in human skin..."

Xilin hugged her knees, her golden pupils slightly vacant, as if she were in a daze or lost in thought.

After a long while, as if she had noticed something, she suddenly raised her head and frowned in confusion.

"This familiar feeling... Has Mom come to this place?"

Xilin suddenly stood up, then lightly flicked her index finger, tearing a purple crack in front of her.

Within the crack, Qiu Bi's figure, looking left and right, quietly emerged.

"So it's big brother... Are you here to see Sirin?"

Xilin frowned in thought, showing no joy at Qiu Bi's arrival.

Then, she quietly watched the purple crack, observing Qiu Bi's every move.

At this moment, Qiu Bi, following the visiting group, had arrived at the Advanced Systems Department, pretending to be curious and looking around.

How can I break away from the tour group?

Qiu Bi murmured softly, a hint of worry creeping into his eyes.

So far, he has not found any way to leave the team.

Even if a group temporarily leaves the tour under the pretext of "going to the toilet," a specific staff member will accompany them all the way, ostensibly to "prevent tourists from getting lost," but in reality to prevent tourists from wandering around.

"...This tour is coming to an end. Please follow me to the last area."

The person leading the way shouted loudly, but Qiu Bi frowned even more.

Immediately, he raised his right hand and shouted, "I need to go to the toilet!"

Upon hearing this, the guide paused for a moment, then gestured to the other staff members to take Qiu Bi to the restroom.

Qiu Bi silently followed the staff member, continuing to feign curiosity and look around at the scenery.

After the staff led Qiu Bi to the toilet door, they stopped walking and quietly stood guard at the toilet door.

Qiu Bi ignored this and quickly slipped into a toilet stall.

"It seems we need to find someone to sign a 'contract' before we can locate Sirin's exact location."

Qiu Bi spoke very softly to himself, so softly that only he could hear it.

However, Xilin had been paying close attention to Qiu Bi's every move, so she could clearly hear Qiu Bi's mutterings to himself.

The next second, before Qiu Bi could even look for a target to sign the "contract," he heard Xilin's questioning voice.

"Big brother, what do you need from Xilin?"

The moment the sound rang out, grayish-white arms appeared out of thin air, instantly wrapping around Qiu Bi and pulling him into a purple crack that had quietly appeared on the wall.

Qiu Bi was initially alarmed, but after realizing that this was the power of the "Herrscher of the Void", he regained his composure.

If nothing unexpected happens, it was probably Celine who noticed his mutterings and deliberately led him away from the toilet stall.

However, Qiu Bi felt a little heavy-hearted.

Compared to the time when Sirin became the "Herrscher of the Void" in the original work, it has now been brought forward by more than a year.

If he doesn't find a way to get the plot back on track, all the plot information he knows will become useless.

As for how to get back on track, Qiu Bi already has a complete plan.

By simply initiating a second Honkai War, the impact of the butterfly effect can be minimized.

Qiu Bi had tried this on Xilin's mother before. After signing the "contract," he could even create a "lawyer" on his own, that is, give the contractor a lawyer core.

Even if the Herrscher core has already appeared in the world, and the corresponding Herrscher is still alive, Qiu Bi can still bestow that Herrscher core upon him.

Strictly speaking, although Qiu Bi was given the same Herrscher core, its origin was completely different from that of the corresponding Herrscher.

If a specific explanation is needed, it can be understood as "the core of the Herrscher in a parallel world," or "a brand new core independent of the Herrscher."

However, Qiu Bi prefers this to be more like "key duplication," where an identical key is configured so that the imaginary space storing Honkai energy makes an incorrect judgment, granting the core owner the same abilities as the genuine Herrscher.

It can be said that since obtaining the ability of "contract", Qiu Bi was destined to embark on a path called "NTR".

Chapter 10 Magical Girl Sirin-chan!

A dimly lit, quiet room.

Xilin sat with her legs crossed on a purple crack in mid-air, looking down at Qiu Bi.

Qiu Bi seemed still reeling from the earlier turn of events, standing there in a daze.

"Big brother, what do you need from Xilin?"

A slight smile curved the corners of Celine's lips, giving the impression of a half-smile.

Despite being only 13 years old, she seemed more like a long-established "queen" at this moment.

Upon seeing this, Qiu Bi suddenly had a bad feeling.

Sirin's appearance doesn't seem like a simple Herrscher transformation; rather, it leans more towards "darkening."

The more adorable and innocent Sirin was before, the more cold and cruel she became after turning to the dark side.

“Take you home!”

Qiu Bi paused for a moment, then answered Xilin decisively.

Upon hearing this, Xilin's expression softened slightly. She couldn't help but turn her head, and then said in a cold voice, seemingly complaining and dissatisfied, "Xilin can't believe that bad older brother who often deceives Xilin!"

Is Celine being arrogant?

Qiu Bi was taken aback, but immediately retorted, "Xilin, when have I ever lied to you?"

"Nonsense! Big brother, you're still trying to deceive Sirin!"

As if stimulated by something, the gap beneath her suddenly widened, causing her to sink into it.

The next second, a purple crack appeared in front of Qiu Bi, and Xilin slowly walked out from it. Her petite figure displayed a strength that was not typical of a young girl. Her golden eyes were fixed on Qiu Bi's eyes, and she said seriously and coldly, "This world is not beautiful at all, and there are no magical girls!"

Before she finished speaking, Xilin's eyes reddened slightly. She clearly wanted to burst into tears, but she held back.

Upon seeing this, Qiu Bi immediately softened and gently stroked Xilin's hair.

“Cirin, you’re absolutely right, this world isn’t beautiful at all, but…” Qiu Bi said softly, “Do you remember what you said before?”

As if remembering something, Xilin let Qiu Bi stroke her hair, while softly repeating the words she had said earlier—

"Sirin wants to become a magical girl, and she wants to use magic to change everything!"

"Big brother, but... there are no magical girls in this world! Those stories are beautiful but false, just fairy tales to deceive children!"

The repeated words seemed to stir up Celine's emotions, making her unable to control herself any longer. Large tears slid down her cheeks and fell to the ground, shattering into broken flowers.

“Sirin.” Qiu Bi reached out to wipe away Sirin’s tears, then whispered, “Magical girls really exist. I’ve never lied to you.”

"Liar! Big brother is lying! Sirin... Sirin is no longer the innocent child she used to be!"

"Cirin, I didn't lie to you."

Qiu Bi released Xilin, then took a step back, extended his right hand to Xilin, and said seriously, "Xilin, are you willing to sign a contract with me and become the first magical girl?"

"But……"

"Sirin, don't argue yet. Follow your heart—do you want to become a magical girl?"

Qiu Bi looked directly at Xilin and waited patiently for her answer.

Xilin bit her lip and subconsciously reached out her right hand, seemingly wanting to respond to Qiu Bi, but then she thought of what she had learned in the past few days and suddenly hesitated.

"Sirin, become a magical girl! Then use magic to change this world and rewrite all its sorrow and despair!"

"……Um."

Sirin spoke in a barely audible nasal voice, then asked in a trembling tone, "But can Sirin really become a magical girl? Sirin isn't that good girl anymore..."

"In your mother's and my eyes, you will always be that innocent and adorable 'little angel'!"

"Yes! Big brother, Sirin wants to become a magical girl!"

Celine's expression gradually hardened, and she seemed to have regained her former innocence and cuteness, but a trace of sorrow still lingered in her heart.

Do magical girls really exist in this world?

The answer is yes.

There may not have been any before, but from now on, magical girls will definitely be active in this world.

"Then—let's sign the contract!"
