Part 3 – Introduction
Lucie runs through downtown, pursued by an armored car. The vehicle chases her, ignoring buildings and pedestrians. Wu Xiaohu leans out of the armored car, aiming a rocket launcher at Lucie.
Lucie doesn't know what a "rocket launcher" is, but from its shape, she thinks:
「It's probably not meant for humans. 」
Wu Xiaohu, however, shoots without hesitation. Lucie deflects the missile with her "Artificial Spirit" shield. The deflected missile strikes at a giant monitor that symbolizes the downtown area.
「Isn't this more lethal than magic?」 Lucie wonders, seeing the remains of the monitor.
Lucie manages to escape by skillfully using her "Synthethic Spirits," despite causing significant damage to the surrounding area.
However, the " Synthethic Spirits" run out of magic one by one, and she is finally cornered by heavily armed soldiers and Wu Xiaohu with no way to counterattack.
Just then, a raven swoops down from the night sky, landing between Lucie and Wu Xiaohu, shielding her from the bullets. It doesn't just protect her; it grabs her by the shoulders with its large claws and carries her away into the sky.
