Transform into a magical girl after getting off work

In such a state, Emerald Sparrow was still able to remain calm, even maintaining her analytical thinking to parse through the battle and overcome the enemy. This is why she always appeared expressionless in combat, always advocating for efficiency.

"Are you a human or a machine..."

Mosi asked, somewhat frantically, "What kind of monster are you exactly!"

"I am a Magical Girl."

Emerald Sparrow swung her scissors expressionlessly, "To expel monsters, to protect everyone."

Crack.

With another crisp sound, what vanished this time was Mosi's head as a Remnant Beast.

The aged face of a woman reappeared atop the body of the Remnant Beast, but now her hair was disheveled, her face filled with panic: "Impossible! Impossible! Impossible! Could there be a flaw in my rules? What is so strange about your spell techniques, why can they harm me, why!"

It frantically manipulated its senses, trying to find anything amiss in this space, trying to halt this terrifying process, but it found no oversight.

Desperate, its consciousness even began to branch out to those Remnant Beasts outside the bizarre realm that it controlled. It saw those in the city stood still as statues; it saw those in the ruins of the Abnormal Strategy Bureau that lay in silent slumber; it also saw Hong Siyu, sleeping soundly amidst a swarm of Remnant Beasts.

Then it discovered, all the Remnant Beasts were just like itself.

They had lost their claws, lost their legs, lost their heads. Only, the originally human-stitched Remnant Beasts had reverted to their original forms, those true Remnant Beasts had become nothing but corpses.

And on all the Remnant Beasts, there were strings connected. Strings made of Magic Silk that spread from the massive castle, woven from the bizarre realm itself.

The bizarre realm was born from the force of the Soul Will within its true nature and was not formed by magic power, so its rules could not affect the bizarre realm.

It was these strings from the bizarre realm that connected it to the great castle, indirectly linking it to all the Remnant Beasts, which were then mutually affected by some unknown set of rules.

"This is your rule, this is your rule!"

Shouting loudly, Mosi appeared maniacal, "What is your rule, what exactly is it doing!"

Though her human head had already manifested, Mosi's screams were still as ghastly and shrill as that of a ghost. It crazily approached Emerald Sparrow, trying to stop her actions.

But Emerald Sparrow did not give it the chance.

"Same fate."

Gently opening and closing the scissors in her hands, she said to Mosi with a tranquil tone, "Our lives are connected, we lose together, we gain together."

And it wasn't until Mosi drew near that she finally saw clearly what Emerald Sparrow was doing.

Countless fine threads connected to the massive blue castle, and from within the castle, all the thread ends hung down from above, converging in front of Emerald Sparrow.

Each thread was linked to an entity within the bizarre realm, whether it was a Magical Girl or a Remnant Beast, a single thread corresponding to a single life.

And all Emerald Sparrow did was lift her scissors and gently place them on one of the threads.

Mosi could feel what that thread corresponded to, it was linked to an egg-level Remnant Beast tucked away in a corner of the realm, an entity that was just a number in the hordes of Remnant Beasts.

Emerald Sparrow had never intended to directly affect Mosi with her spell techniques; all she wanted to do was cut the threads connected to the other Remnant Beasts.

Just as she had said, together they gain, together they lose.

Under the rules of Emerald Sparrow's bizarre realm, all life within it was connected. If one entity lost something, all others would lose the same thing, including Emerald Sparrow herself.

And because life was tied to these threads, by just pruning them with her scissors, Emerald Sparrow could directly affect the bodies of her targets.

At this moment, what Emerald Sparrow's scissors cut was the "body of the Remnant Beast."

Imposed with the concept called "Remnant Beast," this was without a doubt a disaster for the beasts because it was the entirety of their lives; once snipped, they naturally died.

But for those humans transformed into Remnant Beasts, this acted like the most precise surgical procedure, with every "Remnant Beast" part being excised from their bodies as Emerald Sparrow wielded her scissors, leaving behind their original human form.

And because in the bizarre realm, all life was connected, when one entity underwent such a change, all others would change accordingly. If a Remnant Beast lost its "Remnant Beast claw," all would lose the "Remnant Beast claw."

This naturally included Mosi.

"The final cut."

Looking dispassionately at Mosi who was lunging towards her, Emerald Sparrow calmly brought the blades of the scissors together, letting the edge finally act upon that thread before her.

This cut, she snipped the "body of the Remnant Beast," which happened to be the last part of Mosi that belonged to the Remnant Beast.

"Stop! Stop right now! You must stop!"

Mosi screamed in frenzy, shouting, stretching out a hand in an attempt to halt Emerald Sparrow with spell techniques, "Didn't you hear me when I said stop! Halt! You maniac! Stop it, stop!"

——Crack.

The scissors closed, the thread was severed.

As if something had happened, yet as if nothing had at all.
