Alicia did not reveal that she could convert magic power, nor did she want to be forced to continuously convert evil magic power into magic power.
The meeting eventually had to end.
Alicia and the others learned that the lunar ruins contained some evil magic, perhaps left behind by a magical girl who sealed a witch 50,000 years ago.
Muirsey speculated that the moon might be the place where witches were sealed.
But neither she nor Alicia mentioned anything about the witch's seal.
They were also afraid that the witch's seal might be accidentally opened from the outside, and then Alicia and the others would have to face countless witches all at once. This was no joke; just thinking about it was terrifying.
Alicia had no choice but to keep the details about the witch a secret.
Let's talk about it when the time is right.
Although Muirsay prefers to say nothing.
Since the seal on the witch has remained very stable for countless millennia, with witches only appearing every 50,000 years and then being eliminated by the current magical girl, the seal has remained intact.
In that case, we must not let too many people know about the witch's seal.
Mu Continent learns that the faint Honkai energy discovered on the moon is the evil magic used by the witch. Unfortunately, collecting and utilizing Honkai energy is not a simple matter, and it is also very dangerous.
Furthermore, Mu Continent is very interested in the pure magic power of magical girls. Unlike dangerous evil magic power, the pure magic power of magical girls is very likely to have a great effect.
Unfortunately, the three magical girls were clearly not pushovers, so cooperation could only be undertaken with goodwill. Until an effective way to deal with the magical girls was found, anything more radical was not permitted.
"How many times have I told you! That's just a very ordinary blood sample!!" An annoyed voice rang out in a laboratory.
“Dr. Mebius, I think you should conduct a more detailed and thorough study,” another calm voice advised.
"Even if you send tens of thousands more samples, nothing will change!"
Mebius was very annoyed. Recently, she had been invited to study and analyze some strange samples, including not only blood samples, but also body tissue samples and even some bodily fluid samples.
But there was nothing unusual. The samples that were sent for testing were just very ordinary samples!
Even if you test it ten thousand times, you still won't find anything special! Those samples are just very, very ordinary stuff.
Mebius had no idea what was wrong with the people from the Mu Continent government, who kept asking her to conduct more in-depth analysis of the samples they sent, and even sent her their genetic maps!
However, it was still to no avail. Möbius was almost certain that the Moth of Fire had discovered something special about the person who provided their sample, and wanted to understand it but had no way of knowing, so they could only try to collect tissue samples for analysis.
"What exactly are they trying to research?" Mebius asked indifferently, looking at the white mouse in the cage trying to escape.
She couldn't understand the Mu Continent people's urgent desire to find out someone's secret.
This is not something that can be accomplished overnight.
Seeing Möbius's frustrated and confused expression, his assistant Blanca tried to offer some assistance.
“Doctor, shall we go and see that person?” Blanca suggested.
At this point, all they knew was that the owner of the samples and even the genetic map that had been sent was a girl.
For Mebius, there was no harm in taking a look. She was indeed curious as to why the people of Mu Continent were so eager to know the secrets of that girl.
She was a girl with magical girl talent.
Chapter 375 Curiosity
"Report: Dr. Möbius still hasn't found anything; the samples are unremarkable."
After leaving Mebius's laboratory, the young man from the continent of Mu looked at the scenery outside the laboratory, then took out his communicator and reported.
There was a long silence on the other end of the communicator, before new instructions were given: Dr. Mebius should continue his research and try to find out exactly what this so-called magical girl talent was.
"Yes, understood," the young man replied matter-of-factly upon receiving the order.
After ending the call, the young man turned and hid in a blind spot of the surveillance camera, his face falling.
"Who knows what that thing is?" the young man said indignantly.
To be honest, when he first came across the top-secret documents about magical girls and witches, his first thought was that the people in charge had gone mad. Where did these magical girls come from in this world?
Unfortunately, no matter how much doubt and suspicion he had in his heart, the young man could only search for people in the vast sea of people with the top agents from other countries in the group, carrying the pink crystal flower that was said to be able to detect the talents of magical girls.
However, perhaps it was luck, but the young man's group discovered a girl with magical girl talent, a girl from an ordinary family, within a few days.
Then, the agents of the Moth of Fire team began to conduct round-the-clock, covert surveillance on the girl, and collected samples of her blood, hair, and DNA, which were sent to the laboratory of Möbius, who had joined the Moth of Fire team, for testing.
The young man is not actually a member of the Mu Continent government, at least not now. He is currently a member of one of the 13 teams sent by the United Nations' Moth Chaser to find magical girls with talent.
But what exactly is this so-called magical girl talent, and what makes it special? Not only did Mebius's laboratory fail to detect it after a long period of testing, but the young man's group also found nothing.
The girl with magical girl talent detected by the crystal flower is really just a pretty and kind-looking girl.
She possessed neither extraordinary strength nor intelligence, nor particularly keen senses or nerves; she was even somewhat clumsy. By all accounts, she was just an ordinary girl.
If we're talking about outstanding qualities, wouldn't the girl's kindness count?
But kindness isn't something only that girl possesses; most people are kind, yet the crystal flower doesn't seem to light up.
In short, the personnel responsible for monitoring the girl with magical girl talent reported everything they observed to their superiors, but they did not receive orders to withdraw the surveillance. Instead, they were instructed to find out something unusual no matter what.
"He's insane!" the young man muttered under his breath after regaining his composure, then obediently returned to Möbius's laboratory to continue working.
The young man is currently a member of a group within the Fire Moths, and his official identity is an assistant at the Möbius Laboratory.
Möbius's laboratory was actually quite deserted. Although Möbius's academic research in biology was outstanding, few people were willing to become assistants in his laboratory due to Dr. Möbius's eccentric and creepy personality.
The young man didn't really want to come, but unfortunately, he was the only one in his group with a master's degree in biology, barely meeting the standard to enter the Möbius lab.
Then the young man was miserably assigned to Mebius's laboratory.
"What's so special about this little white mouse?" Mebius and Blanca watched a young girl through the monitor.
The girl now works and lives in a luxury hotel not far from the Mebius Laboratory, unaware that she is being monitored.
The girl's blood samples, body tissue samples, and genetic maps were provided voluntarily when she underwent a medical examination before starting her job at the luxury hotel. Her parents were also persuaded and encouraged to have the medical examination done voluntarily.
This job opportunity was offered by a friend of the girl's parents for decades. It was a rare opportunity, and neither the girl's parents nor the girl herself refused it.
Everything was so reasonable, legal and compliant, and the girl had no objections. She naturally went to work at a luxury hotel near the Möbius Laboratory.
Mebius looked at it for a long time but couldn't figure it out. If it weren't for the fact that the sample of a girl was so unremarkable, Mebius wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to an ordinary girl.
"Beep beep beep!" At that moment, Mebius heard a series of urgent sounds.
She and Blanca turned around and saw that the young man from Mu Continent, who had been assigned to the laboratory, was pulling out a communicator with a puzzled expression.
"Yes..." The young man was about to ask what instructions required such an urgent contact, but he was interrupted by his superior's voice.
"That magical girl named Alicia already knows that we've found a talented girl!"
"Destroy all surveillance data and research materials related to the girl immediately!!!"
The superior was putting immense pressure on the young man amidst his roars.
Blanca looked so pitiful.
The young man could only endure the yelling.
Actually, the young man also wanted to yell at the other person: "Damn it! Just now they were telling us to find something special! And now they want to destroy everything! Why don't you just fly to the moon!"
“Dr. Mebius, please destroy all research data and samples related to that girl from back then,” the young man said without changing his expression, noticing that Mebius and Blanca were looking at him.
“Interesting,” Mebius said with amusement.
Mebius had already heard the roar that came through the young man's communicator.
Mebius was very curious, extremely curious about the magical girl named Alicia.
Why would the continent of Em suddenly abandon and destroy the surveillance information and research data given its high regard for that girl with special talents?
Magical girl
Möbius pondered what he had just heard.
In other words, the girl she was studying might have the talent of a magical girl?
"Dr. Mebius, here's what happened," the young man said, revealing what he knew. His previous orders were not to discuss magical girls unless Mebius asked him about it, but Mebius had never asked about it before.
Although Mebius has joined the Firemoon, the Firemoon has only been established for a short time, and Mebius only joined to obtain more research funding. Therefore, she had never actively sought to learn about the Firemoon before, and thus knew nothing about magical girls and witches.
Mebius had Blanca start deleting the research data, and then, as the young man recounted his experience, he became increasingly curious about the magical girls.
"Doctor, it's all deleted."
The research, of course, yielded nothing of note, and Mebius could delete it as she pleased. However, if she had actually discovered something, she didn't think the research data would remain with her.
"I want to talk to that magical girl named Alicia," Mebius stated his request directly to the young man.
The young man silently dialed his superior's number; of course, this matter had nothing to do with him, a nobody.
In the Möbius Laboratory, a sample of a green snake transmitted everything that was happening there.
Chapter 376 Tools
"What do you mean she still has to go to school?" Möbius asked expressionlessly, holding the communicator.
“Dr. Möbius, I understand your curiosity about that magical girl, but she has told us not to disturb her before she gets out of school unless it’s for something special.”
The voice coming through the communicator left Möbius speechless.
“Then I need some information,” she then said.
"I'm sorry, you need to request more information; I don't have that authority."
"..."
Mebius coldly hung up the call.
Although Mebius joined the Firemoth when it was first founded, she did not hold any important position within the Firemoth, serving merely as a biological scientist.
Obtaining information about Alicia was not an easy task for Mebius.
Blanca took the communicator and handed it back to the young man.
"There's some information on the Russian internet," the young man whispered to Blanca as he retrieved the communicator.
He then turned and left.
Blanca was somewhat surprised, but didn't say much.
Before long, Blanca found some relevant information online.
Despite the efforts of countries around the world to cover up the Moscow incident, claiming that it was caused by a meteorite from outer space, it was clearly just a self-deceptive act. Tens of millions of people died, and the Witch of Reason's army openly attacked and killed people everywhere. It was not so easy to cover it up.
After the Witch of Reason died, many daring people rushed to Moscow, where their families lived. These people were also the first to discover and record the situation in Moscow. Even though many of the footage was later taken away by teams sent by various countries, a considerable amount of it still circulated on the internet.
Because the Russian government was almost completely paralyzed at that time, the internet was not greatly affected. Initially, other countries were also unable to quickly shut down the Russian internet, so these materials were seen and preserved by many people.
These materials don't actually contain any information about Alicia and her friends, but the impact and traces of their battle with the Witch of Reason were indeed photographed and recorded.
Blanca and Mebius found these photos, along with some basic analytical data.
"No wonder they were so afraid." After seeing the horrific destruction, Mebius finally understood why the people of Mu Continent were so terrified of Alicia.
Pure fear of violence.
Mebius found it hard to imagine what kind of carbon-based life form could withstand the firepower density of the modern army in the photo, and not only withstand it, but also turn the tables and engage in direct combat.
There are also traces of battle between the Witch of Reason's army and the Ice Golems; many tank and armor wrecks show signs of cryogenic freezing.
All of this made Mebius increasingly interested in Alicia and the others.
Blanca had been helping Mebius collect and organize information, but unfortunately, there wasn't much information about the Moscow events that could be circulated online.
Magical girls and witches—these almost illogical things actually appeared in reality, and both Mebius and Blanca were extremely interested in them.
Unfortunately, the level of secrecy surrounding Alicia and the others is too high.
While investigating information online, Blanca saw a piece of information about a certain company, but he didn't pay attention to it and turned away, forgetting about it.
A new company called Rhine Life.
At the end of December, the aftermath of the Moscow events caused ripples all over the world, but thanks to the joint efforts of various countries, the impact was limited to Eastern Europe and the former Russian territories.
Lunar exploration programs from various countries continue to proceed in an orderly manner, preparing to fully explore lunar remnants.
Meanwhile, the Moth of Fire, composed of elites from various countries, continued their search for a girl with magical girl talent, but apart from the girl they had already discovered, they had not found a second one.
Alicia and her two friends chose another time to visit the girl with magical girl talent.
However, Alicia does not intend to make the girl a magical girl directly. Only after letting her understand and come into contact with the matter of magical girls and witches, and after explaining everything honestly, will Alicia ask the girl if she is willing to become a magical girl.
After all, not everyone is willing to risk their life to fight a witch.
