Chat Group: Starting by Body Swapping with Elysia? - Chapter 32
Chapter 32: Continuous Version Updates
***
Kyoko: “Looks pretty legitimate, not bad. You don’t have time so I’ll make the trip, just so happens my hands are itching for some action.”
Seeing Kyoko’s group message, Jiang Qiao breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Hu Tao and Yunyun temporarily couldn’t come over, there was still a redhead in the group besides him.
Even though the scenario of a magical girl versus an armed helicopter was extremely novel, the redhead’s strength was unquestionable.
Jiang Qiao: “Then I’ll leave Elysia’s side to you, I’ll treat you to dinner when I’m free.”
Kyoko: “I’m keeping note of that! Don’t think you can back out!”
With that, the chat group fell silent.
Although he was somewhat worried about Elysia’s situation, it was clear that the current situation needed to be handled first.
Understanding this, Jiang Qiao’s face showed a bright smile like a young girl’s as she looked at Mobius across from her.
“Stop grinning like that, Elysia. Do you understand your current situation?”
“Of course, dear Dr. Mobius, but everything I needed to say should have already been submitted in the written report, right?”
“Do you think anyone would believe such nonsense?”
Mobius’s expression wasn’t pleasant as she pressed the written report on the table and pointed: “Killed the Herrscher of the Void with a single arrow from long range?”
“Although I don’t think highly of those idiots and mediocrities above, even the Honkai fission bombs deployed beforehand couldn’t harm the 2nd Herrscher in the slightest, yet you… claim you killed the 2nd Herrscher with a single arrow?”
“Mm-hmm, was there a second person at the scene? Dr. Mobius, you should have also seen the 2nd Herrscher’s autopsy report. I believe there shouldn’t be any problems with it.”
Jiang Qiao was confident that her cover-up work was perfectly thorough.
Whether it was the battle traces at the scene or the wounds on the 2nd Herrscher’s body, they were all meticulously crafted by her.
Even Mobius couldn’t find any flaws.
The only problem might be that it was too perfect, which was also why Mobius was targeting him.
The report submitted by Jiang Qiao, the traces at the scene, and everything about the 2nd Herrscher were all too reasonable. Combined with this somewhat fantastical battle process, the highly suspicious snake always felt that Elysia was definitely hiding something.
But she had no proof.
Moreover, Elysia was different from the later Vill-V.
The latter was an enemy of Fire Moth, while the former, once her achievements were confirmed, would immediately become a hero of Fire Moth, a model of humanity’s fight against Honkai. This couldn’t be compared to some clown hero.
Although the fact that humanity’s model against Honkai was a Herrscher was quite dramatic, with the special nature of the Herrscher of Origin, the current Fire Moth couldn’t possibly discover Jiang Qiao’s true identity.
For 【Elysia】, the achievements of the Second Eruption were extremely important, as they related to the magnitude of her voice within the organization.
In Jiang Qiao’s eyes, it was the same.
As long as he obtained this title and handled the relationships with the Fire Moth’s big three well, by then he wouldn’t need to wait until the later period of the Previous Era. Jiang Qiao could directly build a bridge in this Previous Era and have Dr. MEI don the yellow robe!
With the Previous Era’s strongest brain plus the 【Elysia】 privilege account, mere Honkai was nothing to worry about.
Even The Cocoon couldn’t withstand the eldest daughter of the family leading the betrayal!
While Jiang Qiao was dealing with Mobius and thinking about strategies to conquer the Previous Era.
50,000 years later, at the Anti-Entropy underground base of ME Corp.
“Yo, so you’re Elysia?”
Sakura Kyoko, wearing casual clothes and carrying a paper bag full of food, examined Elysia who was being chased around with her head in her hands.
“?!”
Kiana and Mei, equally flustered, were filled with question marks.
Wasn’t it Jiang Qiao? Who’s Elysia?
Having her real name called out, Elysia couldn’t help but correct while dodging:
“It should be Jiang Qiao!”
“Is that so? Well, such things don’t matter anyway.”
Sakura Kyoko hadn’t paid attention to the identity swap between Elysia and Jiang Qiao, and she was too lazy to care.
Kiana, having some free time, questioned doubtfully:
“This girl, is she also your backup?”
“Doesn’t look like she can fight better than me.”
Sizing up Kyoko’s thin arms and legs, Kiana felt she could take on ten redheads.
“Uh…”
Elysia was also somewhat hesitant.
Jiang Qiao knew everyone’s strength in the group, but she didn’t.
Honestly, even when Yunyun appeared earlier, she was somewhat worried about potential problems.
She really didn’t know how strong Kyoko’s combat ability was, only knowing that this person seemed to be a magical girl.
The white-haired fluffball’s evaluation clearly angered the competitive redhead, her face darkening:
“Hah? You really dare to say that!”
“Don’t look down on me!”
With a delicate shout, a gust of air scattered accompanied by red light, and Sakura Kyoko’s entire appearance changed, transforming from casual clothes into a magical girl’s Soul Gem transformation.
“Wow!”
Elysia’s eyes immediately lit up. If it weren’t for the helicopter chasing her, with her personality she would definitely want to touch it.
However, she didn’t forget to introduce Sakura’s background to the stunned Mei and Kiana:
“Sakura Kyoko is a magical girl.”
“?!!!”
As expected, this background directly left both of them dumbfounded.
What?
A magical girl?
This person is?
Well, a mage had already appeared earlier, so having a magical girl appear now wasn’t that strange.
But…
Do magical girls use spears?
Looking at the redhead holding a long spear with a single ponytail, Mei couldn’t connect her with the magical girls she remembered seeing on TV shows.
Shouldn’t magical girls hold magic wands and fire magic cannons?
This kind of magical girl, I find it hard to accept!
Noticing the two’s rude gazes, Kyoko glared and snorted lightly:
“Hmph, I’ll settle with you later.”
“Jiang Qiao, right? You take these two blockheads and continue forward. I’ll handle this big guy!”
Kyoko touched her spear to the ground, and the Rosso Fantasma barrier infused with magic power blocked the RPC’s electromagnetic rounds.
Elysia, hiding behind, was somewhat concerned:
“Is it okay?”
“Hmph, who do you think I am! Having you three here would only drag me down! Hurry up and go!”
Kyoko, feeling underestimated, snorted in dissatisfaction and urged the three to leave.
— As a cutting-edge technological product of the Incubator civilization, magical girls possessed extremely formidable combat power.
Although the opponent wasn’t the usual Witch but a technological product, making the redhead somewhat unadapted, Kyoko herself was a magical girl with extensive combat experience.
Her combat power was at least equal to that of a Valkyrie.
The weakling elf in disguise with almost no arrows left? Kiana who was almost out of bullets and about to charge with a baseball bat? And Mei who couldn’t fly?
These three people would really just be spectators if they stayed, better to go ahead and cause trouble for Cocolia.
The mocked Kiana was naturally somewhat annoyed.
Who’s the drag? Who are you talking about!
She had at least punched several holes in that thing, right?
Annoyed, but helpless.
She couldn’t just stay here and watch the redhead fight the helicopter, right?
That would make her part of the cheering squad.
She couldn’t afford to lose face like that. The three of them, including Elysia, eventually left resentfully for the deepest part of the underground base — the base’s central hub.
That was also where Cocolia was located!
