My Superpower Is Piloting Magical Girl Corpses?
Chapter 9: Well Then, Let's Start the ExperimentAnother crisp snap echoed as the maid puppet's head followed in the butler's footsteps, its body convulsing before going limp.
Clutching his abdomen, Lin Guang staggered back two steps, leaning against the large tree. Blood seeped through his fingers, and a searing pain radiated from his stomach and organs—though it seemed they weren't fully cooked yet. At least he could still feel pain, which meant there was still hope.
The white light gradually receded, and his clothes returned to his body, quickly staining red with blood.
This meant that only now did the transformation process truly seem to have stalled.
Should he feel relieved?
Not at all.
Lin Guang's senses, sharpened to the extreme, caught movement from his side—the faint sound of something hard crushing dry leaves beneath its weight.
He swiftly turned his head.
From the thick black mist just seven meters away, three new puppets slowly emerged, steadily advancing.
Lin Guang glanced down at the wound on his abdomen, then swept his gaze over these three fresh, fully-armed enemies.Combat effectiveness reduced by over 30%, continuous blood loss, respiratory system compromised...
In his mind, he quickly drew up an evaluation chart.
Facing three complete combatants on par with the puppets he'd just fought, his win rate was below 1%.
The girl coughed twice, letting out a hoarse laugh. "Ha... GG again."
Good Game.
He really hadn't done badly this time.
There'd been significant progress.
Leaning against the tree trunk, his pale face showed no trace of fear toward death.
Rather than letting these rotten pieces of wood hack him to pieces, he might as well try that complete self-destruct sequence one more time.
The first explosion had been too fast; he hadn't even savored it.
"Don't waste it."
The girl murmured to herself, then forcefully mobilized the mana that was already on the verge of collapse within her body. With a hoarse voice, she cracked a joke no one here would understand.
"Watch closely."
"This is my... final transformation!"
She raised her head, her calm eyes fixed on the approaching monsters. A sweet, excited smile curled at the corners of her lips as she began to dance lightly.
Like a stunning butterfly diving toward a flame.
"Smile, perfect score! Courage, one hundred percent~"
As she chanted the incantation, mana surged like a raging tide.
Lin Guang turned all his focus inward, following his instincts to guide his emotions and movements, trying to grasp the final millisecond of its trajectory before collapse.
(<ゝω·)~☆
The next moment.
BOOM—!!
............
After the spectacular explosion, Lin Guang found himself back in his shabby yet clean room.
[You have died.]
[Mission Evaluation: Failed]
[Rewards: None]
He stared at the system's indifferent assessment, rubbing his brow, somewhat dazed.
The nerve-piercing pain from this death still lingered, along with a brief stupor from the sudden release of extreme tension.
But Lin Guang felt like he was already getting used to it.
The next instant, he sprang up like a fish leaping, showing no intention of resting. He immediately walked to his desk, sat down, and pulled out paper and a pen. His dark eyes glimmered brightly in the darkness.
A good memory is worse than a bad pen—just like how, after waking from a dream, you only have a short time to remember its emotions. Now was the perfect moment to record and summarize.
Shua shua shua—
He began writing furiously.
All the information he'd gathered was quickly jotted down, including the rules of transformation and the specific lines that had emerged from instinct.
Then came his analysis of the mechanics.
[Why did the mana continue flowing in for a while even after I stopped the transformation chant and movements? Was it related to my unauthorized changes to the lines and motions?]
[Can the lines be changed? Can the movements be changed? Can the emotions shift? Would it help the transformation?]
[If handled properly, could the holy light shield during transformation become stronger?]
[The child-type puppet that appeared at the end seemed harmless on the surface, so it warrants extra caution. Should it be dealt with first?]
[As for the final self-destruct, I still felt like something was missing in my chest... Could it be related to that pendant that never reacted?]
Lin Guang's brain raced tirelessly at high speed.
Who hadn't played puzzle games?
And the joy was simple.
List all the clues, then analyze every possibility.
And then...
It was time for the strategy moment.
A pure smile spread across his face, like a foodie spotting a delicacy—a hunter's delight at the quarry.
"Well then, let's start the experiment."
............
[Third Game].
LINK START.
The black mist churned, and the wind carrying the scent of blood blew once more through the cold, damp forest.
Everything seemed to reset, returning to that very first starting point.
The cherry-haired girl swiftly rose, the piercing pain fading faster than last time. Her slender, beautiful form moved with crisp agility, exuding a youthful, vibrant beauty.
She extended a pale hand, covering her flat—almost pitifully so—chest, gently touching the pendant hanging there. A thoughtful expression crossed her face.
In the first three transformations—two complete and one interrupted—the torrent of blazing mana had surged to this very spot each time before spiraling completely out of control.
But that intentional interruption of the transformation process had indeed made her sense something critically important.
She flexed her limbs a couple of times, and the footsteps of the puppets arrived right on cue from nearby.
The butler puppet and maid puppet shambled into view, lunging at Lin Guang the moment they "saw" her.
Lin Guang closed his eyes, took a deep breath, as if reviewing and confirming a plan already made.
Then, she opened her eyes, and a flicker of crimson seemed to ignite within her pupils.
Without any hesitation, Lin Guang directly raised her hand, striking the opening pose of a magical girl's transformation.
The next moment, the girl's body danced lightly and confidently, chanting the incantation aloud.
But this time, there seemed to be subtle differences.
"Smile, perfect score."
No longer a cute, spoiled tone, but a confident smile that stated a fact.
"Courage, one hundred percent."
No longer a plea, but a declaration of readiness.
Although the transformation words were exactly the same, the emotions embedded in the lines and movements had already shifted considerably!
As she moved, the glow of mana lit up the dead forest, flowing into her slender body with each motion.
That searing torrent arrived as expected.
But this time, that originally chaotic, hard-to-control blazing mana, upon sensing that Lin Guang had been altering the transformation process with her own will from the very start, felt an indescribable sense of harmony.
It was no longer as turbulent and violent.
It really was different!
She continued her light spins and dances, but no longer used that saccharine, affected cutesy voice. Instead, she lowered the girl's natural pitch and spoke in a voice that was still quite pleasant, yet resolute, confident, and piercing:
"Let your heart and flames burn together!"
Battling the urge from instinct, she forcibly altered the vocabulary, skipping over the four words "skip and hop" entirely. The change in emotions caused the mana's flow trajectory to shift subtly once again, becoming somewhat unstable.
But the hidden pattern within it seemed to unfold a corner under the perception of her [Precision Operation Engine].
Just as I thought.
