Give children a little self-destruction shock to their worldview.

It turns out that at this point in time, that kind of strange, eccentric, tool-like technology had already emerged.

The Abyss Gentleman's heart sank little by little. He hadn't expected that what he thought was just a way to clean up the mess left by his past self would unexpectedly connect the events together.

He was now certain that the future Black Magic Society also harbored a conspiracy involving scoundrels.

The charlatan disguised as the bandaged monster in his memory was not a simple guy like other monsters; his personality was far more complex than he could comprehend.

After being ousted from power by Jack, the False Thugs did not flee the city. Instead, they attempted to take advantage of the chaos to kidnap many strange people and extract their power for their own use.

During the riots caused by the charlatans, many of the original oddballs of Miracle City fell into a deep sleep.

This is why, in the future, most of the monsters in Miracle City are of a higher level—after all, the weaker monsters have already been filtered out once during this period.

Having absorbed the magic power of many strange beings, the False Thug became far more powerful than Jack was at the time, and even reclaimed his territory.

It was during this major event that Jack, who was always carefree, tasted defeat for the first time.

But what saddened him even more was the miserable state of the other strange people he saw when he was thrown back into the mud.

So Jack took the initiative to propose an alliance with the magical girls, hoping to seal away the False Thug together... Of course, this major event was ultimately successful.

And it happened during the holidays (Magical Girl Red the Movie).

After this incident, Jack truly matured and became a villain that everyone found troublesome.

The Gentleman of the Abyss is no stranger to this story, because he has also personally experienced the bitterness of defeat. Although this experience exists in the distant, youthful past, it does not mean that he will bury it forever.

He now actually wants to speed up the process so that Jack will come to his senses sooner.

What? Why not just solve it directly?

That's because I've experienced that kind of hardship myself, and I can't let Jack skip class.

The Gentleman of the Abyss chuckled.

He didn't intend to intervene to completely resolve the matter, but having the memories of the future, he wasn't going to do nothing either.

As mentioned above, the monsters in Miracle City suffered greatly during the major events, and some even had difficulty recovering. For example, the memory monster in front of us fell into a deep sleep because he did not realize that there was a problem with his body.

The memory monster did not wake up until the time when the Abyss Gentleman traveled back.

Now that he has returned to the time before the tragedy occurred, he would not possibly stand by and watch someone die.

After using his magic to uncover the hidden problems within the memory monster, the Abyss Gentleman asked the other party to remove the strange-looking necklace he was wearing.

It was a small, black metal ball that looked no different from ordinary junk, except that its shape was a bit strange and something seemed to be rolling in the middle.

If you shake it, you can hear the sound of tree roots rolling inside and smell a slightly pungent plant odor.

"These were given to us by the bandage monster. That old man made us all wear one, saying it could soothe the magic... Why the look in his eyes? Is there something wrong with this?" the memory monster said, still looking dazed.

The Gentleman of the Abyss took the necklace, but his expression immediately changed.

Dark purple magic immediately shone from his hands, forming a dense, opaque cage of thirty-six faces, sealing the dangerous item inside and severing its connection with the outside world.

This is not an overreaction on his part.

Rather, it was the necklace... or more precisely, the grass roots rolling within it, that possessed a bewitching magic.

The roots and stems of this plant can bewitch people's minds.

The Gentleman of the Abyss was able to make this conclusion because the moment he received the necklace, he actually wanted to put it around his neck.

This is completely unreasonable... After all, he and that bandaged weirdo didn't have any subordinate-superior relationship.

It was probably because the scent of the necklace had been continuously emitted after being cut off that the memory monster realized something was wrong with him after a moment of confusion.

"I should have thrown this away a long time ago, why am I still wearing it like a treasure?" she exclaimed in surprise.

After all, the Memory Monster wasn't as blindly loyal as her brother, who would still follow her wholeheartedly after seeing the Bandaged Monster fall.

Rather, she had no loyalty to that sinister-looking man at all; she just felt that working for him would give her something to do and keep her from going hungry.

The Gentleman of the Abyss stared at the necklace, now sealed away and much safer for the time being, and had other guesses: "Perhaps your brother didn't have much respect for this despicable boss either. But..."

Neither of them revealed what followed, but neither was stupid enough to guess the reason.

With such a tool that can bewitch people's minds, controlling subordinates is not a difficult task.

And there are many more of these items in the hands of other former members of the bandaged monster.

Although they may not know that this thing will manipulate their minds, they will continue to carry it with them because of the effect of the plant roots.

The Abyss Gentleman had no idea that such a tool existed. At the time, he was wondering why almost all of the bandaged monster's former subordinates had betrayed him... even though the working conditions on his side were much better.

Because he couldn't understand this matter, the moment he returned to this point in time and took over Jack's position, he began to appease and settle these strange people.

The Abyss Gentleman had never played video games before, so he didn't know the difference between the first and second playthroughs, but that didn't stop him from using his past experience to do even better this time.

The Abyss Gentleman, in his second playthrough, also discovered subtle issues that he had overlooked in his first playthrough.

At that time, he would only be confused about why this was happening and try his best to deal with the sudden problem, but now he has found the root of the problem.

Maybe this time, that guy won't escape again.

Yes, in the first playthrough, the Abyss Gentleman did not eliminate the bandaged monster, but let it escape.

After all, this is a children's film, and people don't really agree with the idea of ​​killing everyone. It's common for villains to be redeemed in the final twist after being tortured.

But this time the enemy is different; he's a morally bankrupt guy, and persuasion and whitewashing won't work on him.

Moreover, the Gentleman of the Abyss vaguely guessed that the False Thugs were probably closely related to the attack that had dragged him into this point in time, sending him to the past.

The other party must be a member of a dark magic society.

really interesting.

The Gentleman of the Abyss suddenly felt a little eager to try.

He is fighting at this point in time, while Little Sadness and the others will certainly be working hard at their original points in time.

Let's examine this closed loop of time and see whose changes played a crucial role.

The Abyss Gentleman became even more motivated and immediately took action, intending to first remove the time bombs left behind by those delusional thugs.

After all, if they can control the mind of a monster, who knows to what extent they can control it?

These are all unstable factors that need to be eliminated.

The magical girl side couldn't be said to be completely unaware of the Abyss Gentleman's major actions.

But since the adults from the future said there was no problem, the two magical girls were somewhat relieved.

Compared to the Abyss Gentleman, who was unwilling to face his dark past and thus unwilling to reveal his true identity, the other two mages who arrived at this point in time had fewer concerns and directly told their past selves about their identities.

Of course, this is also closely related to the fact that they have faces that are impossible to lie about.

Since she hasn't had any plastic surgery, she naturally won't look much different from her sixteen or seventeen-year-old self.

Even if Sugiyama Rika and Terasaki Ayasa didn't say anything, others could see the connection between them and their current selves at this point in time.

At most, people might question whether they are sisters... It's rare for sisters to look so alike.

Aya Terasaki was busy tutoring Kosato Hana.

It's not just about learning classroom knowledge; there's also a need to systematically build up her knowledge of magic-related topics.

And Sugiyama Rikka...

"Where's that big idiot who came with you?" Koyasa called Terasaki Ayasa out and asked.

The big idiot—refers to the adult Sugiyama Satoshi.

Terasaki Ayasa went to teach the silly magical girl, but Sugiyama Rika was nowhere to be seen with her.

“She has a very important mission… but you can’t know that right now,” Terasaki Ayasa said.

Sugiyama Rika went to retrieve Hoshino Yui at this particular time.

Hoshino Yui was also teleported to this point in time, but when she arrived, she was unable to contact the other party.

At this point in time, young Hoshino Yui might not have been created yet, and naturally, a telepathic communication channel had not been established, so there was no possibility of a channel conflict with Ayasa and Satomi.

So, from the very beginning, Sugiyama Rika and Terasaki Ayasa took the initiative to contact each other.

But there was no response from the other side.

After doing a quick calculation, I realized that the timing was indeed not very coincidental.

Currently, there are only two magical girls in Miracle City: Akane and Shion. No one else has joined the team yet. As the only android in the team, it is unknown whether Hoshino Yui has already been born.

Sugiyama Rika was worried that the location where Hoshino Yui landed might affect the latter's birth, or that she might not have come to this era at all. So, after communicating with Terasaki Ayasa, she decided to conduct a thorough search.

As for the situation in Miracle City, they still have a lot of faith in the Abyss Gentlemen.

Having also lived through more than a decade later, the Abyss Gentlemen were even more eager than the others for Miracle City to transform into its future form as quickly as possible, and they would not cause trouble recklessly.

They do have that level of trust.

Recalling the relevant events from their memories, the two realized that this was mainly a significant turning point in the Abyss Gentleman's youth, so they decided not to interfere.

No one knows better than the Gentleman of the Abyss himself which direction the current Horror Monster should take.

As outsiders, they weren't familiar enough with the Gentlemen of the Abyss to interfere in each other's private affairs, so they decided to leave it at that.

The main thing is to deal with myself as I am now.

Ayasa Terasaki must confront her acutely aware past self.

"Let's leave those things for now. I have something else to ask you." Xiao Caisha's gaze was sharp. "What's your relationship with that big idiot?"

Sometimes she is indeed unwilling to communicate with her younger self; being too smart and perceptive is not necessarily a good thing.

"What do you think our relationship is?" Terasaki Ayasa asked casually.

"Are you two close?" Xiao Caisha hesitated a bit. "I just met her..."

She wanted to ask, but she didn't really want a definite answer.

After all, such words always plant a seed in her heart; she doesn't want that predetermined future.

“Don’t ask,” Terasaki Ayasa said lazily, “It’s no use asking… I’m never the one who takes the initiative.”

Text: 325. Trying to cover up only makes things worse.

"What should we do with this person?" Hitomi Tono asked Mayumi Haga how to deal with the black wizard in front of her.

While Mayumi Haga was fighting hard, Hitomi Tono and Kuma had already subdued the black wizard, gagged him tightly with the cloth from his own body, and bound him with magic.

Now, the black wizard is the prisoner of these four.

But a problem arises: as a kind-hearted, children's magical girl, Hitomi Tohno has no means to interrogate a dark wizard. As for Kuma, she's even less capable; the magic she uses to deal with the Jealousy Monster can only be used once in a short time, so she's completely unreliable.

The other party refused to disclose any information about the black magic society, resulting in a stalemate.

After much thought, they could only place their hopes on the two Haga Mayumi here.

I have to say, they found the right person.

Although Mayumi Haga appears to be very upright, she has still learned some interrogation techniques from Rania.

The only problem was that it was a rather crude and direct approach. Considering the two innocent-looking local residents, Mayumi Haga began racking her brains to figure out how to explain it to them…

"Direct injection... Ugh?!" Mayumi of Calamity blurted out without thinking, only to have her mouth covered by Mayumi Haga.

She looked at Mayumi Haga blankly, not understanding why she was covering her mouth.

Immediately, this confusion turned into astonishment:

No? You're hiding something like this? These two guys look sixteen, not six!

In the Alamo, even a six-year-old doesn't need such careful nurturing of their fragile heart.

Besides, what's wrong with injecting your own blood into the enemy's veins and then threatening to detonate it if they don't tell the truth?

It's not cruel at all, so how is it unsuitable for children?

Moreover, there are many more direct and effective methods than this, such as detonating blood inside the enemy's body, which at least leaves behind a partially intact corpse.

After all, I can control the force of the explosion; as long as it doesn't break my bones, it's fine.

Calamity Mayumi looked at Haga Mayumi with displeasure in her eyes.

He was fine during the fight, so why did he suddenly fall ill now?

Mayumi Haga: ...Thank you, but this is a bit too much in this world.

But then again, this world has magic, and many injuries that cannot be healed in their world can be treated with magic.
