I dug up the magical girl's corpse.

Chapter 34 The Real Purpose

Lin Chaojing did not blame Lu Cai.

She slowly put her phone away, then flew up and over the school wall.

Upon seeing this, Lu Cai blushed. If she had been calmer and identified the source of the sound, she would have jumped over the wall long ago and wouldn't have been fooled for so long...

In Lin Chaojing's view, the other side of the wall was empty; Chen Mu's figure could not be found.

"Oh, so you ran away? Pretty clever..."

She smiled, but this was to be expected.

Lin Chaojing extended his right hand, a beam of light gathering in his palm, like a seed, extending into a winding line that swiftly flew towards the horizon. This beam of light had no destructive power and would not be seen by ordinary people; it merely served as a marker, connecting the two ends from the starting point to the endpoint—a very basic application of magic.

In short, Chen Mu's guess was correct; Lin Chaojing had indeed marked him.

"You can't escape. With this, no matter where you hide, as long as you don't leave the area of ​​Miyuki City, I can track you down."

Lin Chaojing was very confident. Only a few minutes had passed, and Chen Mu could only have run a few kilometers at most. It was impossible for him to be out of the tracking range.

However, what happened next made her frown.

The light didn't continue forward or towards the city; instead, it suddenly circled around and turned back!

"Um?"

Lin Chaojing began to feel confused. She turned her head, following the angle of the light.

The trailing edge was observed heading towards the campus...

What happened? Did he not run away, but instead went inside? Why? Did he think he could escape by thinking the opposite of what he was thinking?

"Learn from...senior!!"

While she was still thinking, Lu Cai suddenly cried out in alarm.

Lu Cai had already discovered the problem.

She saw Chen Mu.

The man did not run away; his figure was visible not far away.

That was where they had been standing, in the school's courtyard, beside the monster's remains.

He stood on the sea of ​​blood, his feet soaked.

Then, he bent down and sat down...

"No."

Lin Chaojing's pupils immediately contracted.

Suddenly, she understood everything—his plan, all the deception. The so-called escape was a ruse; the real purpose was…!

But it was too late to summon magic or launch a sprint; the distance was too great. Even the location of the phone was carefully planned to lure them away.

"It's your turn to cook for me today."

Chen Mu seemed to be speaking to Lin Chaojing, but he didn't turn his head.

He buried his head in the remains of the monster:

"grateful!"

Take a big bite! Tear the skin with your teeth, rip off a piece of flesh, then forcefully cover your mouth and swallow!

He was like a savage who ate raw meat and drank blood, completely disregarding any dining etiquette. He used both hands to tear and stuff the flesh and blood around him into his mouth, devouring the flesh and blood around him!

He scooped up the pool of blue blood with his hands, tilted his head back, and drank it down. He swallowed the writhing chunks of flesh, completely unconcerned by the stench and nausea, wolfing it down as if afraid of wasting time!

The man's hands and face were stained, but he didn't care at all, as if he was enjoying his meal and even had a smile on his face!

"Hahaha……"

He was laughing when he seemed to choke, and an unbearable pain in his stomach came back to haunt him.

But he quickly realized what was happening and swiftly covered his mouth with both hands, forcefully resisting.

Chen Mu stood up unsteadily, his body seemingly very unstable, but he still tried his best to stay upright. His eyes were almost bloodshot, completely covered with blood vessels.

His body also underwent rapid changes.

"...Is this power?"

The monster's flesh began to erode and transform his body. His skin began to show strange and bewitching blue markings at a visible speed, spreading and bulging like blood vessels across his skin.

The once-fitting top was stretched taut by the sudden bulge of muscles, and then ripped open with a "rip".

His physique seemed to have grown larger in just a few breaths, becoming even more robust and powerful, exuding an inhuman sense of strength.

dong... dong... dong...

The heavy heartbeat, like the beating of war drums, could be clearly heard even from a distance.

The sound seemed not to come from his chest, but from something deeper, something more immense, resonating with the air. Beneath his skin, something seemed to be surging wildly, trying to break free, causing his muscles and skin to bulge and twist unnaturally, only to be forcibly suppressed, creating a heart-stopping tug-of-war.

"Well……"

Chen Mu covered his head tightly, his fingertips almost sinking deep into it.

He trembled violently, his jaw clenched, the blue markings on his face intertwined with a pained and contorted expression, and a suppressed, beast-like growl escaped his throat.

"hateful!"

Lu Cai couldn't stand it any longer. She stretched out her hand, and a blue magical power burst forth from her fingertips as she prepared to attack!

But just then, an even larger golden light shattered the magic with a "snap".

"What?"

Lu Cai froze for a moment, then turned around in disbelief: "Senior, why?"

Yes, it was Lin Chaojing. She remained silent, then suddenly blocked the attack.

"..."

Seeing that her senior didn't answer, Lu Cai became even more anxious:

"Senior! Wake up! He's been corrupted by monster flesh and blood and is mutating! We have to take care of him now, or it'll be too late once the mutation is complete!"

She looked at the massive monster wreckage not far away. If Chen Mu continued like this without intervention, he might turn into another monster like that.

"And what's more! We no longer have any barriers to conceal our vision. If he mutates... we'll be exposed! Everything will be over!"

Lu Cai hurriedly called out, trying to persuade her senior.

Her legs were trembling with fear, but she also knew that her senior was much stronger than her, and she couldn't do it alone without persuading her.

All I could do was keep trying to persuade them.

"Senior, please! Stop looking at him! He's not human anymore! He's lost his mind! You can't make a mistake!"

However, Lin Chaojing didn't turn his head or pay attention to her. He just looked at Chen Mu, who was struggling and twisting in front of him, with a solemn expression.

What should we do?

...With the current power, is there a way to eliminate the monster's influence without harming him?

What is the best solution?

"What are you doing?"

Suddenly, a voice came from behind, interrupting Lu Cai's plea and Lin Chaojing's thoughts.

A slender, graceful figure silently approached, her toes seemingly creating ripples as she slowly descended.

She moved very quietly, yet her magic was extremely powerful, instantly suppressing the surrounding commotion. The area became completely silent, devoid of any noisy sounds.

They're not on the same level, magical girls.

Lin Chaojing sighed inwardly. Facing the figure, she bowed slightly and said respectfully:

"teacher."
