Does this work too?

She slowly opened her eyes. She had been woken up by her mother, and now she looked at Mrs. Izumi by the bedside with a puzzled expression.

"Mom? What's wrong? Didn't you go on a trip?" She sat up groggily, not realizing what had happened. As she sat up, she reached out and grabbed a white Cupid to hug.

Mrs. Izumi breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Izumi Sagiri. "Something came up, so I came back."

Izumi Sagiri nodded, not quite understanding, then held up the Kyubey doll in her hand and smiled happily, "Thank you, Mom. I really like the doll you gave me. It's warm and cozy, just like the real thing."

Mrs. Izumi's pupils contracted, and she looked at Kyubey strangely, saying, "Sagiri?"

Izumi Sagiri tilted her head in confusion. "Hmm? What's wrong?"

Mrs. Izumi stared at Kyubey with some fear and said, "Mom, I didn't give you anything."

Izumi Sagiri hugged Kyubey, held it up to her eyes and looked at it strangely, "Eh? Who gave this to me?"

Mrs. Izumi recalled what had happened before and felt extremely uneasy. Suppressing her fear, she said gently, "Sagiri, put the doll down first, let's go downstairs."

"Okay." Izumi Sagiri put down Kyubey, got up, and ran downstairs on the wooden floor.

Mrs. Izumi stared intently at Kyubey on the bed, observing him closely. Suddenly, Kyubey blinked, startling her so much that she took a step back and ran downstairs without looking back.

She ran downstairs as fast as she could, and fearfully ran to Izumi Kotetsu's side, "Darling! There's something there."

Upon hearing this, Izumi Kotetsu's expression hardened, and he asked worriedly, "What's wrong?"

“Sagiri said I gave her a doll, but you know we didn’t buy her anything, and even if we did, we wouldn’t have given it to her two days after we left…” She hugged Izumi Kotetsu in fear, which immediately made Izumi Kotetsu nervous. He got up to go upstairs to check.

Mrs. Izumi stopped her, saying, "Don't go. Something's wrong with that doll. When I looked at her, she blinked. It felt like she was alive."

"Alive?!" Izumi Kotetsu was taken aback and didn't know what to do for a moment.

At this moment, Izumi Sagiri, who had finished washing up, walked into the dining room. Although she had social anxiety, she could still show up in front of her family. Before that incident happened, her symptoms were not serious.

Upon seeing Sagiri, Izumi Kotetsu immediately asked, "Sagiri, when did you receive that doll?"

Izumi Sagiri, who had just sat down at the wooden dining table, paused and looked over curiously. "Yesterday, wasn't it given to me by my mother? There was a message from her on it."

"??" Izumi Kotetsu's heart sank upon hearing this, and he felt something was wrong as he recalled what had happened yesterday.

He encountered Leng Mo, who had a photo of Sagiri, in the hallway; then Leng Mo broke into his door and took a broken teddy bear; and now, back home, he's encountered something that shouldn't be there. He absolutely refuses to believe that any of this is unrelated.

The next second, Izumi Kotetsu went to the kitchen, took out a cleaver, and carefully went upstairs to the second floor.

Only then did Izumi Sagiri and Masamune realize that something was wrong, and they looked at Mrs. Izumi in fear.

"Mother?"

"What's wrong!?"

Both of them spoke in a tense voice at the same time, and their eyes became uneasy as they looked at Mrs. Izumi.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Izumi mustered her courage and smiled, "It's nothing, let's talk about it when Dad comes down."

Soon, Izumi Kotetsu came downstairs. Mrs. Izumi looked up with a sigh of relief, only to see that Izumi Kotetsu's clothes were covered in blood. She caught him and quickly hugged Sagiri and Masamune.

The two children had never seen anything like this before and were terrified.

Mrs. Izumi composed herself, looked up, and asked, "Darling, what's wrong?"

Izumi Kotetsu belatedly realized, "That doll was alive... it wasn't a creature we already knew about..."

Mrs. Izumi asked worriedly, "Then... what should we do?"

Izumi Kotetsu put down his blood-stained sword. "We can't stay here anymore. We have to leave."

Mrs. Izumi said, "I'll go and get ready right away."

"No! Don't take anything, let's leave now!" Izumi Kotetsu interrupted, his face full of determination. There was no time to pack anything; the longer they stayed, the worse things would become.

Just then, a figure emerged from the shadows behind the sofa, sat blankly on the wooden floor, and made a sound.

"If I were you, I wouldn't do that."

"What is that?!" Izumi Kotetsu was taken aback upon hearing this, and put down the kitchen knife but picked it up again.

Mrs. Izumi quickly shielded Masamune and Sagiri, nervously watching Kyubey suddenly appear in front of them. Only now did she truly see Kyubey's condition clearly; it resembled a cat, but wasn't, and its blood-red eyes gave off a frightening feeling. Sagiri and Masamune, in her arms, were even more surprised and puzzled by this situation, but they remained silent.

At this moment, Kyubey suddenly stood up, rushed to the sofa to wipe off the dust, quickly cleaned the surrounding area, and then looked up and loudly introduced himself to the Izumi family.

"Rejoice! Her Majesty the Queen, possessing the power to destroy the world, will descend upon your homes at this very moment!"

As soon as the words were spoken, black feathers scattered all over the living room floor. Many feathers floated on the ground, and before anyone could see what was happening, two seemingly young girls were floating in the living room.

One of them was dressed in a military uniform, wearing a tall hat, with long, snow-white hair cascading down her back, almost touching the ground. Her pretty, clean face was full of heroic spirit, yet also carried a hint of childishness. The other was dressed in a school uniform, with long black hair cascading down her back. Unlike the first one, her expression was cold, her eyes showing little emotion, devoid of thought or feeling, a kind of indifference that seemed to emanate from her very being.

Upon seeing the two men appear, Izumi Kotetsu immediately brandished his kitchen knife, pointing it at them, and shouted in a trembling voice, "Who are you people!"

Upon hearing this, Altair smiled subtly, raised his hand to adjust his military cap, and said, "What if this frightens people?"

Homura Akemi, standing nearby, said, "It's not... Sigh, never mind. It's too late to say anything now, the situation is urgent." She sighed helplessly, feeling a headache coming on.

The next second she raised her hand and snapped her fingers, saying, "Chuby, breakfast."

Upon hearing this, Cupid on the ground immediately stood up straight and saluted, saying, "YES! MY QUEEN!"

As soon as he finished speaking, countless clones appeared and rushed into the kitchen, turned on the stove, and began frying, stir-frying, and cooking. They were proficient in everything and even brought their own food. The whole process was as smooth as an assembly line, with each of the clones having their own job. The division of labor was clear and there was no pause at all.

"Amazing!" Izumi Sagiri's eyes widened in excitement upon seeing this. It was as if she had seen something she had always dreamed of; no girl could resist a cute pet that could cook, take care of people, and clean!

"Sagiri!" Mrs. Izumi immediately hugged Sagiri tightly, preventing her from making any more noise.

Homura Akemi glanced at the tense Izumi family, landed from the air, and sat on the sofa, seemingly unconcerned. She picked up the black tea Kyubey had brought, took a small sip, and placed it back on the teacup tray Kyubey was holding. Then she turned to the Izumi family and said, "Don't worry, I have no designs on you. I just wanted a place to stay, but of course, not for free."

As he spoke, several Cupids appeared from the side and pulled out a thick stack of five dozen banknotes, placing them on the table. "This is the payment for lodging, five million."

Izumi Kotetsu didn't relax at all, gripping the kitchen knife tightly, and said, "Since you're so rich, why did you choose us?"

Altair sat down next to Homura Akemi and smiled, "Because, your daughter has been targeted by a certain man."

Izumi Kotetsu's pupils shrank. "What?!"

He suddenly remembered Leng Mo, whom he had met yesterday. Although he didn't know what had happened, what the other party said was probably true.

Homura Akemi noticed his expression and said, "It seems you understand as well, so I don't need to explain much more. That man is terrifying. If you don't want anything to happen to your daughter, you'd better not leave our side. Besides, this world isn't as simple as it seems on the surface."

She earnestly admonished the Izumi family without offering further explanation.

Silence is the prevailing theme now. Faced with the two men's decision, Izumi Kotetsu finally sighed helplessly. Although he was very unwilling, there was nothing he could do now.

"I understand." He sighed helplessly, and Mrs. Izumi beside him also understood what was going on.

Homura Akemi smiled and gestured for them to sit down and talk. Meanwhile, Kyubey, who was preparing breakfast, brought up a large pile of food, which quickly filled the coffee table in the living room.

Homura Akemi looked at the Izumi family and said, "Then let's talk while we eat."

Upon hearing this, Izumi Kotetsu led his men over and sat down opposite him at the coffee table, filled with trepidation and unease. However, he was powerless to resist; the strength displayed by his opponent was far beyond what someone like him could overcome. All he could do was obey.

Lobotomy Corporation, against SB-001 Special Squad.

This squad is a recently formed division of Lobotomy Corporation, specifically created to deal with newly emerging Abnormalities. Faced with the completely unknown SB Abnormality, a dedicated squad is necessary. After all, ordinary squads don't have much experience dealing with Abnormalities; a separate squad is required.

And the official name of this squad is—SB Squad!

The team is stationed at the subdistrict office.

Senior Xiaoyuan sat sullenly at her desk in the office. On the desk sat a white stainless steel thermos, steaming with hot water. The surroundings were quiet; although it was on the street, the soundproofing was excellent. The windows and doors were also soundproof, and the computer in the room displayed surveillance footage of the surrounding streets. This was a secret base hidden in the street.

At this moment, Senior Xiaoyuan sat slumped in her chair like a retired old man, not wanting to move an inch. She never expected to fall for it, to fall for such an idiot's trick. She had painstakingly infiltrated Lobotomy Corporation, using this identity to ambush Leng Mo and Liuli, even using mysterious means to deliver the group chat detector to Lobotomy Corporation—everything was perfect, everything was going according to plan. Without a single problem, as smooth as Dove chocolate, it just wouldn't stop.

You could say we've been eating hotpot and singing songs all along the way!

As a result, I was suddenly attacked by an idiot!

She personally built a SB series of group member detectors, perfectly excluding herself, and suddenly today, she was appointed by the director as the captain of the SB team!

I'm actually the idiot captain?!

When Senior Xiaoyuan heard the news, she felt like the sky had fallen. She had taken every precaution, but she hadn't been able to guard against the idiot who had fallen on her, and a captain at that! Wasn't this just saying that she was the biggest idiot of all?

If I went out and introduced myself to people, wouldn't I just die instantly?

Q: Who are you?!

A: SB squad leader! You big SB!

Snapped!

Senior Xiaoyuan slapped herself in the face, feeling utterly depressed. She had never expected to be suddenly given the title of "SB" (idiot). It was just... just outrageous!

Just then, the communicator in front of her rang.

Communicator: "Captain, we've detected SB in action."

Senior Xiaoyuan said, "Well said! I'll go see which idiot is behind this."

Communicator: "We can see the other side now, it's SB-001, and Ruri Gokou is moving as well. Target unknown."

Senior Xiaoyuan said, "Very good, keep an eye on that idiot, I'll send someone to contain him."

Communicator: "Understood!"

After ending the call, a wicked smile appeared on Madoka's face. She took out the roster, intending to send employees to harass Leng Mo and Liu Li, preferably to make Liu Li realize that Leng Mo had been lying to her from the beginning and that only her side could perfectly help her. Although everyone was in a similar situation, the target wasn't Gokou Liu Li, so it didn't matter.

"It's you I've decided on, Shu!" Senior Xiaoyuan's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and she grinned. She believed that Shu Ouma and Mana would give Leng Mo and Liu Li a big surprise.

-----------------

On the other side, Liuli and Leng Mo were walking on the road, but they couldn't find the location of Liuli's family for the time being, so they had to think of another way.

Walking down the street, Liuli was filled with mixed emotions. She was searching for someone from Lobotomy Corporation, as only through their connections could she find out her family's whereabouts. If she couldn't find them on the street, she would probably have to search in places related to Lobotomy Corporation.

As Liuli walked, she asked, "Amo, do you have any clues?"

Leng Mo, standing beside him, said, "No, I don't have any superpowers for detection. I only know how to fight!"

Liuli paused for a moment, wanting to ask Leng Mo to find another personality, then realized that Leng Mo wasn't her own personality. She could only helplessly give up, unable to utter a single word.

Although she already knew that Leng Mo wasn't her own personality, she had no choice but to trust him now. After all, she couldn't trust anyone around her, or rather, she couldn't trust anyone at all.

Just then, Liuli suddenly felt her feet sink into the ground.

"Huh?" she exclaimed in confusion, then felt dizzy and disoriented, as if she had fallen into a pit. It was pitch black all around, and she could even see countless open eyes staring at her.

This is! ?

She stared wide-eyed in disbelief, wondering where she was.

Just as she had this thought, a sexy voice rang out from behind her ear: "Leng Mo is lying to you, don't believe him."

"Who?!" Liuli whirled around, only to see a beautiful woman with long, golden hair smiling at her, her eyes filled with kindness and gentleness. The woman wore a long, elegant dress resembling a Taoist robe, which was quite revealing at the chest. Just as she was about to speak, Liuli saw a blur before her eyes and found herself back on the street.

"Tsk!" The woman's annoyed voice rang out at the end.

"Liuli, are you alright?!" Leng Mo's anxious voice came from the side, and at the same time, Liuli felt her legs touch the ground.

Her legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground, but thankfully Leng Mo caught her. Turning to look at Leng Mo, she said, "That was just now..."

Leng Mo exclaimed nervously, "It's a superpower! A superpower attack!"

Liuli's expression hardened. "What happened? Why was I attacked?"

Leng Mo said, "I don't know. You suddenly disappeared just now, and I had to use my superpowers to bring you back."

"Leng Mo is lying to you, don't believe him."

The woman's voice echoed in her mind. Liuli looked up at Leng Mo in front of her, seeing his nervous expression, and didn't understand why. Why shouldn't she trust Leng Mo?

The next second, Liuli suddenly noticed that the number of people on the street had decreased, and almost after a breath, the street became quiet.

She exclaimed in alarm, "What happened? Where is everyone around?!"

Leng Mo frowned, a glint of light flashing in his eyes: "I don't know, but one thing is certain: we're being watched!"

The empty streets were filled with a sense of oppression, and the air was scorching hot. The surrounding temperature was rising, and the light at the end of the street ahead was becoming more and more intense!

"Pseudo-canon - Yanlong Cannon!" The girl's voice came from ahead.

Leng Mo was shocked upon hearing this and rushed forward at top speed, exclaiming, "It's you guys—!"

boom--! ! !

A massive magical beam of light hurtled towards him, destroying everything around it. The enormous beam of light carried a terrifying heat wave, and Leng Mo raised his hand to catch the oncoming bombardment.

The moment they made contact, Leng Mo instantly blocked the impact of the light cannon, holding it in front of Liu Li.

Liuli exclaimed in shock, "Amo!"
