Chapter 140 Interrogation
The arrival of Emerald Sparrow clearly didn't take Mosi by surprise, as evidenced by the bright smile on her face.
She could also tell that Emerald Sparrow was different from before, but even when confronted with the sky full of Magic Silk threads and the tangible brilliance of magic power, her expression remained unchanged.
Even so, she inexplicably began to applaud.
"After a long wait, our main character has finally arrived," she said.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Mosi spoke with a hint of frivolity, "But it seems you quite liked the 'gifts' I left for you, to the point where you wasted quite a bit of time on them. I never thought you'd take such a liking to the trinkets I made so casually."
"You call those people... you call them 'gifts'?"
Emerald Sparrow looked at Mosi with a calm face, showing no trace of joy or sorrow: "That's a joke that's completely unamusing."
"It's no joke."
Mosi shook her head: "Haven't you realized that I've shown you a new possibility through them? A presence never before seen, combining human tameness with the magic power of Remnant Beasts, they're the most suitable for mass-producing high-quality ingredients. Aren't you moved?"
"All I can see are the sad lives that you've toyed with and desecrated."
Emerald Sparrow's fingers twitched slightly, but her emotional state remained externally unchanged as she looked indifferently at Mosi: "Now tell me, what exactly did you do to Hong Siyu... no, what did you do to those ordinary people from the Abnormal Strategy Bureau?"
"What did I do? Can't you see?"
Mosi feigned shock as she widened her eyes: "The fusion of Remnant Beasts with humans, the layering of life's traits, isn't this obvious?"
"Merely sewing Remnant Beasts onto human bodies cannot create such profane beings."

Emerald Sparrow stared at Mosi: "You embedded the magic core of Remnant Beasts directly into their bodies, and used the most violent methods to completely change their physical and spiritual structures. This isn't any layering of life, you're creating degraded Remnant Beasts."
"It's simply because mortals are too weak."
Mosi smiled faintly: "What I have endowed them with is the prototype of the beasts' viscera, only slightly uncontrollable. If they could possess magic and souls surpassing the Remnant Beasts, then they might be able to reverse-utilize this power, instead of being transformed by the magic of Remnant Beasts."
"You know that's impossible."
Emerald Sparrow's expression became colder: "The magic power and soul strength of ordinary humans are nowhere near that of Remnant Beasts; by performing such acts, you're killing them in another way."
"Who says no?"
Mosi remained composed: "But what of it? Would you feel any emotion for the livestock on a farm?"
"See the little creature behind me? Even if I slaughtered every wild Remnant Beast in Fangting City, or even the entire Southeast Donghua Region, and added those useless Magical Girls, it still wouldn't be enough to feed it."
"In order to truly provide it with enough nourishment, we need to use artificial magic cores to breed such 'meat pigs', and only those 'meat pigs' can satisfy this little creature's dietary needs."
"I've spent a full two years on this; if it weren't for such a grand technological innovation, even with my status and exhausting all the magic resources of this region, it wouldn't have been enough to achieve such a result. Such a great technology, doesn't it move us?"
No sooner had her words finished than several blue magic threads suddenly cut towards her neck from her side, but they were stopped by Mosi's left hand wrapped in magic power.
"Are you in such a hurry?" Mosi asked leisurely.
"Because I don't want to waste time here listening to your nonsense."
Emerald Sparrow manipulated the magic threads: "Why did you turn Hong Siyu into that? If it was, as you said, to find food for the Remnant Beasts, why did you torment her for two years?"
"Torment? Are you referring to Miss Hong?"
Mosi seemed surprised: "You actually think that was torment?"
Swoosh! Clang!
Emerald Sparrow's magic threads once again aimed to cut at Mosi's vitals but were blocked once more.
"I've said it before, I don't want to hear your nonsense," Emerald Sparrow stated coldly.
"Then you've misunderstood me because, for me, this is actually a very meaningful experiment."
Mosi shook her head and smilingly continued: "I've always been curious about what differentiates retired Magical Girls from ordinary people. If, after losing their magic core, they could regain it, could they recover their power? "
"Miss Hong is a very valuable experimental subject for me, allowing me to understand this. I replicated the magic core of a Remnant Beast into a near-Heart's Gem structure and pushed it into the vacancy left by Miss Hong's original magic core, wanting to see if she could become a Magical Girl relying on the magic of a Remnant Beast—just like the mongrels of Claw Mark."
"But the results proved that retired Magical Girls truly no longer possess the traits of a Magical Girl. Not only did she not die outright like an ordinary Magical Girl would when forcibly embedded with a Remnant Beast's magic core; instead, she integrated well with the magic core and became a real Remnant Beast."
As Mosi said this, she spread her palms with a hint of pride: "The experiment proves that retired Magical Girls are indeed just ordinary people after all, with no difference from the other 'meat pigs', aside from retaining some self-consciousness."
