My Superpower Is Piloting Magical Girl Corpses?

Chapter 75: Even if the Sky Falls, School Still Matters

“……”

Lin Guang didn’t press any further. He simply spoke directly.

“Time and place.”

Qian Zai, as if granted a reprieve, said, “Tomorrow night at nine. The address is…”

“The Mingxiu Factory on the outskirts of town.”

“Got it.”

Without promising or refusing, Lin Guang simply pressed the end-call button.

“………”

He didn’t immediately resume his training. Instead, he scrolled through his phone’s contacts for a moment before dialing a number labeled “Officer Gao.”

The phone rang a few times before connecting.

“This is Gao Chenxu.”

A low, deep, middle-aged male voice came through the line. His speech was concise, carrying an aura of authority that commanded respect without anger.

“It’s me.”

Lin Guang responded with equal directness. “The new gang on Qi Yun Road and Heishan South Road—what’s their background?”

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end, followed by the rustling of paper.

“They’re a group that recently arrived in Wind Capital. Fierce, and they don’t play by the rules.”

“There have been several brawls there over the past few days.” His voice remained low but grew heavier. “They’ve already claimed multiple lives.”

“I’ve been to the scenes myself. The evidence and bloodstains were all handled cleanly—no loose ends. But the bodies were deliberately dumped into the river for others to find, with identifying items left behind. It’s clearly a warning. They’re arrogant, probably have some backing.”

Lin Guang listened quietly, a cold glint sharpening in his eyes.

—Murder cases.

Even in Wind Capital, where the grassroots were vibrant and rough, this was an extremely serious topic.

The Secret State was one of the world’s largest nations, in an upward trend with rapid development. Although there was some chaos at the grassroots level, the authorities still maintained a degree of order.

Wind Capital, as one of the top-tier cities in the Secret State and a major coastal port, ranked among the world’s largest in scale and economy. It could be called an international metropolis.

In such an environment, conflicts of interest between gangs were usually kept in check. Using clubs versus knives were two different things, and fighting versus killing were entirely distinct matters.

After finishing, Officer Gao asked, sounding a bit puzzled, “How did you find out about this?”

“They contacted me directly. They want me to go discuss business tomorrow night.”

“Huh?!”

The surprise in Officer Gao’s voice was evident through the phone.

Lin Guang said flatly, “Qian Zai is smart. He probably didn’t reveal my connection to you. There’s been some misunderstanding.”

“………”

Officer Gao was clearly taken aback. He was silent for several seconds before letting out a wry chuckle.

“Looks like their leader isn’t too bright.”

“I agree.”

Lin Guang continued, “Is there a bounty on them?”

“Not currently.”

Officer Gao’s voice turned serious. “These guys are cunning. They’re restless, but there’s no direct evidence tying them to the murders. The victims pulled from the river are mostly gang members themselves, reported by those fishing enthusiasts.”

“I’m about to set up a special task force. With how arrogant they are, it won’t be long before we catch a lead.”

Lin Guang caught the concern in Officer Gao’s tone, but only said calmly, “They already have my contact info. It won’t be long before they find my address.”

“…True. Given your personality, you’ll choose to strike first when threatened.”

Officer Gao suddenly asked, “Did they ask you to meet at the Mingxiu Factory on the outskirts?”

“Yes.”

“That confirms the intel from my informant. That’s their base of operations.”

At this, Officer Gao’s tone grew even more serious. “I’ve always appreciated your contributions to this city. But that’s exactly why I need to tell you: this opponent is different from the wanted criminals before. They’re organized, not afraid of bloodshed. Their base has at least twenty or thirty people. Even with your skills, going into their lair alone won’t end well. I strongly advise you not to go.”

Lin Guang opened his mouth as if to say something, then closed it again, remaining silent.

“…”

Officer Gao understood his meaning and sighed. “Sigh. I knew I couldn’t talk you out of it.”

“If you’re really going, I’ll do my best to support you within my authority this time.”

“Three squads will be on standby for you.”

“If you can find solid evidence of their crimes inside the base and send out a signal, they’ll move in immediately. You just need to keep yourself safe.”

“Finding concrete evidence would be best. But if your safety is threatened or the situation gets out of control, you can also signal. Once the police lights flash, those gangsters, knowing the cops are coming, shouldn’t dare to go for the kill.”

That was the official safety net—a form of protection, albeit indirect.

“Thanks.”

Lin Guang didn’t refuse the offer. “I’ll go check out the situation first.”

“As usual, just me. No one else.”

With that, he hung up the phone, bent back down, and calmly began doing one-fingered handstand push-ups.

As if what he had just discussed wasn’t a dangerous solo trip into a den of wolves, but some trivial matter.

…………

The next day, Lin Guang was full of energy and went to school as usual.

Even though he had to become a magical girl at night, fighting monsters in places no one knew, during the day, he still had to attend class normally.

This was also recorded in the annals of Magical Girl Sky Fania.

It wasn’t that Lin Guang valued the identity of a student that much. It was that, from now on, every trial would likely mean spending over ten days in that world as Mengmengxiang.

Even Lin Guang felt he needed to reintegrate into the life of this world during his spare time. Otherwise, even with his mental fortitude, he would feel a sense of disconnection, as if waking from a dream.

However, the news of his “return to routine” was, unsurprisingly, picked up by a certain young lady who had been watching him closely.

………

After school.

The setting sun stretched the crowded figures at the school gate into long shadows.

Amid the stream of students in baggy uniforms, trudging out of the school gate with dusty looks, one figure stood out extremely conspicuously. It was like a high-definition color print forcibly inserted into a black-and-white silent film, drawing countless admiring gazes.

It was a girl with long black hair. Her skin was as delicate as the finest white porcelain, her features flawless, and her eyes bright, making her look elegant and composed.

She wore a light beige knit top, paired with a red plaid pleated skirt that reached mid-thigh. Her long legs were shapely and slender, dazzlingly fair.

This kind of aura and attire naturally created an invisible barrier between her and the noisy surroundings, like a noble young lady that people could only admire from afar.

But when she caught sight of a certain teenage boy emerging from the school gate, that layer of distance instantly melted away. Without hesitation, she actively approached him.

Under the heartbroken gazes of many, she skillfully fell into step beside the boy, who didn’t slow his pace at all.
