I dug up the magical girl's corpse.

Chapter 14 Light Method

"Ugh! I was hoping to hear a pure love story, but it turned out to be this heavy-handed!"

"It seems like neither of you two are quite right in the head... Why would she kidnap you?"

"So, what happened next? Did you manage to escape? Ah!!"

Earlier, Lin Yongxi would occasionally offer his own criticisms as Chen Mu told the story.

But as they were talking, Chen Mu suddenly slammed on the brakes, causing the girl in the passenger seat to lurch forward in a panic.

Fortunately, the seatbelt held me in place, preventing me from being thrown out.

"What...what are you doing?!"

She looked up, still shaken, her hair disheveled.

Beep! Beep beep!!

Because Chen Mu braked suddenly on the main road, the cars behind him started honking impatiently.

But he seemed oblivious, sitting in the driver's seat, staring blankly ahead, as if he were in a meditative state.

"etc……"

Chen Mu's eyes were filled with surprise and confusion, as well as a host of other unreadable emotions. His hands, gripping the steering wheel, trembled involuntarily.

"Are you...are you alright?"

Lin Yongxi stopped complaining and started to worry. It was the first time she had ever seen her brother-in-law behave like this.

Could it be a sudden illness?

She hurriedly unbuckled her seatbelt, preparing to help Chen Mu: "Should I call an ambulance for you? I...I'm not very good at first aid!"

Snapped.

Chen Mu grabbed her wrist.

"No."

Suddenly, his tone seemed to return to normal, and his expression returned to calm, without those frightening reactions.

"We're not going to the Demon Academy; we're going home."

"Huh??"

Lin Yongxi was completely baffled and utterly confused: "W-why are you suddenly saying this? Is there a problem? Did someone plot against you?"

She thought, "We've already driven so far, why are we turning back now? The story was going so well just now, why the sudden change of heart?"

However, Chen Mu simply turned the steering wheel around and made a U-turn at the next intersection.

He even stepped on the gas, accelerating even faster! It was as if he was brewing an impatient feeling, unable to wait any longer.

"I don't need the Magic Academy anymore... I've found a way to become a magical girl."

Chen Mu kept his mouth tightly shut, his eyes flashing, as if he had seen something in that instant.

...

"Magic exists in every corner of this world, but it cannot be seen with the naked eye, nor can it be observed by any scientific means."

"Some people once thought it was a gas, but it is not. It is more like light, an invisible microscopic particle."

"Whether it's sunlight or moonlight, it's essentially the energy emanating from that giant star."

"Because of photosynthesis, only plants can absorb light and convert it into energy. Therefore, to become a magical girl, you must first turn yourself into a plant."

"To absorb magic, you must imagine a flower that does not exist in your mind."

"In the world of magical girls, this is called 'Heart Flower'."

"As mentioned earlier, all girls with magical aptitude have a magical organ called the 'Heart Seed' within their bodies. Unlike the 'Heart Flower,' which is a virtual concept, the Heart Seed is real. It is located in the heart and is a translucent sphere, like a gemstone, which is the seed of a flower."

"The process of a magical girl becoming stronger step by step is like starting from a seed, breaking through the soil to become a sprout, forming a bud, and finally blooming into a flower."

"But although the seed of the heart has no fixed shape, it is a seed that nurtures countless possibilities. Therefore, we must conceive of the flower of the heart and guide it to grow in the right way."

"Every magical girl's heart flower is different. Even if they are the same type, there will be subtle differences due to variations in quality, shape, and luster. These differences mean the extent of a magical girl's talent. It is no exaggeration to say that the heart flower determines a magical girl's attributes and magic, and her future achievements."

"But this is only the first step. To realize one's potential, diligent practice is also essential."

"At the level of [Seed], the most important thing a magical girl needs to do is to accumulate magical power, constantly absorbing the magical power from natural light into herself, circulating it within her body, and tempering her body. During this process, the magical girl's body will undergo a complete transformation, which also lays the foundation for future transformations."

"The first step into the extraordinary realm is called photosynthesis. Yes, it's the photosynthesis of photosynthesis."

"Just like Lin Chaojing sunbathing on the balcony, whether actively or passively absorbing magic power, magical girls can slowly accumulate magic power in their daily lives. However, this accumulation speed is limited. To quickly improve their strength, a unique cultivation technique is essential. However, this technique is currently a secret."

"During the war more than a decade ago, the magical secret technique known as the 'Light Law' was not exactly a secret. In order to completely defeat monsters and protect their companions and comrades, magical girls would actively exchange and share their experiences, and write related books to pass them down."

"But after the war ended, with the rise of the Magical Girl League, those 'Light Laws' quickly became sought-after items. With competition and commercialization, there was not as much selfless sharing spirit. The Magic Academy firmly controlled these secret techniques, and you could only learn them by paying protection money to them."

"But we are different."

"We don't need to be restricted by the Demonic Court, nor do we need to grovel before it. I have the complete Law of Light in my mind; you just need to learn it from me!"

On the way, Chen Mu couldn't even wait until they got home to talk, and started talking non-stop in the car.

He spoke very quickly and urgently, as if afraid he would forget.

"Uh...what, wait a minute."

Lin Yongxi hurriedly tried to take notes, not even knowing if she understood anything. She felt like she had been suddenly thrown back into a senior high school classroom, surrounded by all new knowledge.

Fortunately, my brain, having just gone through the college entrance exam, wasn't completely ruined, so I could still understand most of it.

However, some of this knowledge was too bizarre, and she didn't know if she could guarantee its accuracy; it sounded very strange.

Is this really the power system of magical girls?

Why does this sound like a fantasy cultivation novel?

So when she got back to her garage, as soon as she got out of the car, she couldn't wait to ask:

"Brother-in-law, how do you know so much? Didn't you say you'd never come into contact with the power of magical girls? Could it be...?"

Lin Yongxi suddenly remembered the story from earlier and exclaimed, "Could it be that you read my sister's book before, which is why you remembered it!"

The memory just happened to mention that Lin Chaojing was reading a book about drawing magic from sunlight. Could that be the legendary "The Law of Light"?

Everything makes sense now!

"No."

However, Chen Mu rejected her guess. He looked serious and closed the car door.

There was still a hint of unanswered confusion in his eyes.

Actually, I haven't read that book at all.

"But I don't know why, I suddenly 'knew' it."
