Chapter Seventy-Two ~~~ Broken Now ~~~~
“Confirm that no monsters remain at the scene.”
The mechanical helmet vanished once again, revealing the beautiful face of the girl. She then asked in her emotionless tone, “Lord Pabi, do you have any further orders?”
At this moment, Pabi appeared beside the black-haired girl. With the protection of this magical girl, it had grown bolder and dared to come to the battlefield.
“Review the battle data, next time try to prevent them from escaping.”
Pabi instructed, and the black-haired girl simply nodded and replied, “Understood.”
“May I ask… who exactly are you?”
Looking at the black-haired girl clad in black armor, Fēi Rèn blinked and asked in confusion. After all, she had never seen or heard of such a mechanical-style magical girl before!
“I am Magical Girl · Judgment. Considering that you are the only magical girl left here, she will be your future partner, guarding Starry Sky City and eradicating the Monster Organization.”
Regarding this, Pabi explained, “If not for Judgment just now, the other monsters would have started attacking civilians while you were fighting!”
“What? Is everyone okay?!”
Even though Fēi Rèn’s heart was already full of hatred, she subconsciously asked this question. Pabi responded, “Rest assured, Judgment stopped it from happening. Of course, it’s not your fault. After all, even a magical girl can’t handle everything.”
Indeed… Even Dream Moon, such a magical girl, was repeatedly constrained by the Monster Organization in this manner. At that time, with Xīng Huá and Fēi Rèn together, the three magical girls could handle most situations.
But now it’s different! Originally there were three magical girls, but now only Fēi Rèn remains. It’s difficult for her to fight the Monster Organization while also protecting everyone in the city, so it’s quite normal for Pabi to seek reinforcements from elsewhere.
“Mm… You make a good point.”
Fēi Rèn nodded. Although it was hard for her to accept teaming up with someone new so soon after her sister’s death, she couldn’t refuse a new partner because of emotional reasons. Thus, Fēi Rèn extended her hand and greeted the black-haired girl, “Hello, I’m Magical Girl · Fēi Rèn! My real name is Líng Nài. Nice to meet you!”
“…”
Facing Fēi Rèn’s outstretched hand, the black-haired girl glanced at the hand, then at Fēi Rèn’s face, tilting her head slightly, showing some confusion.
It seemed as if she didn’t know how to react at this moment.
“This child isn’t very good at expressing emotions, don’t take it personally. Just know that she means no harm.”
Pabi cheerfully broke the silence, “However, her strength is undeniable! She is also very skilled in swordsmanship, Fēi Rèn, you should practice more with her!”
“That’s great!”
Hearing this, Fēi Rèn’s face lit up with excitement! If the black-haired girl truly was a master swordsman, she could undoubtedly improve her own skills through sparring and become stronger!
“Then please teach me!”
Seeing that the black-haired girl wasn’t going to shake hands, Fēi Rèn retracted her hand but still asked, “May I… tell you my real name?”
After all, magical girls have a rule that once they form a team, they must share their real names. This establishes a mutual promise of trust. Therefore, Fēi Rèn took the initiative to reveal her real name, hoping the black-haired girl would do the same…
“This matter…”
The black-haired girl still looked somewhat confused, but before she could finish, Pabi interrupted.
“Fēi Rèn has opened up to you, shouldn’t you be honest too?”
After hearing Pabi’s words, the black-haired girl finally nodded and said, “My real name is Yī Lín.”

“I never thought the first person to use the upgraded torture room wouldn’t be Xīng Huá, but you!”
Meanwhile, Báiyǔ stood with his arms crossed, leisurely watching the Dream Moon tied to the cross. This time, she had a black blindfold forced onto her face, something round stuffed into her mouth, and special ear muffs with magic arrays on them over her ears.
Her vision and hearing were completely sealed, undoubtedly enhancing her other senses! After half an hour, Báiyǔ removed the various equipment from Dream Moon’s body. Her eyes were already unfocused, clearly damaged beyond repair…
“Guhuhu~~~ Going to heaven now~~~”
With regained speech, Dream Moon immediately mumbled these words like a drunkard. However, Báiyǔ picked up the remote control and pressed a button—
A magic array flashed on the cross, and then Dream Moon suddenly rolled her eyes, as if she had been shocked! After this shock, her consciousness instantly returned to normal!
“Huh??”
Blinking, Dream Moon, fully awake, recalled the strange scene… She asked in surprise, “Master… Does this upgraded torture room instantly restore people back to normal if they are damaged?”
“Exactly! I’ve been researching such magic arrays! Simply put… this is a magic array that forcibly restores the mental state of the victim!”
In response, Báiyǔ showed a rather proud expression! He explained with a smile, “Of course, it’s more like a time rewind… Anyway, anyone tortured here, regardless of how badly their mind is damaged, can be restored in a short time!”
“How amazing!”
Hearing this, Dream Moon, still bound to the cross, instinctively praised, “So we don’t have to worry about Xīng Huá being damaged, right? Even if she is damaged, she can be restored, so the torturer can act with impunity—hahaha~~~”
“You’re right, but…”
But at this moment, Báiyǔ raised the remote control with a smile, “This applies to you too, doesn’t it~~~”
Upon hearing this, Dream Moon’s ten cute toes curled instinctively…
“Master, I was wrong! I shouldn’t have acted on my own authority and mobilized the army pretending to be the leader—”
Unfortunately, before she could finish, Báiyǔ pressed the button again mercilessly. At this moment… Dream Moon recalled once again that her master was a pervert. The reason didn’t matter; he just wanted to bully her—

PS: Sorry, I got a bit stuck. Let me reorganize it.
