You're Saying He Took Down Two Familiars? / Is Xiaobai Looking for the Files?

Slow and steady wins the race, like boiling a frog in lukewarm water. Staying completely hidden behind the scenes until the plan is fully successful is what a 'villain' should do.

Chapter 143 You said he took down two familiars?

"But do you really think that wrapping this world in Nightmare will keep the Demons away from your sight?"

Midway through the conversation, Xiao Chun asked Youyou a question.

This was Youyou's plan. She didn't hide anything from Xiao Chun and told her the general details of the Xiao Chun.

Youyou was certain of this:

"It's definitely possible. Demons love hope the most. As long as hope is cut off, places without hope will naturally not attract their attention."

"... Just how strong is the Demons?"

Xiao Chun asked again.

Youyou turned to look at Xiao Chun and suddenly asked:

Do you think your two companions are strong?

"Very strong."

Xiao Chun still clearly remembers the scene where Xiao Qiu activated her Shining Form and fought against the Songstress Demon.

Xiao Chun had also witnessed the power of Xiaoxia when Xiaoxia her Shining Form.

After breaking through to Shining Form, the two's strength increased rapidly, widening the gap between them and Xiao Chun.

They are incredibly powerful, extremely powerful. With their current strength, the Songstress Demon they dealt with before would probably be as easy as the small fry they faced at the beginning.

Youyou continued:

"Then guess how long it will take for Upper Demon to defeat them?"

"... I can't believe it. I've never even seen Upper Demon before."

Xiao Chun's strongest enemy was the Songstress Witch strength had just crossed the Middle Rank- level threshold, which was already unimaginably strong for her.

Xiaoxia's normal attack didn't even leave a mark on the opponent.

Xiao Chun's attack, imbued with all her magic, barely pierced the Songstress Witch's body. Even so, given the Songstress Witch's regenerative abilities, if it weren't for Xiao Qiu and Xiao Bai, she would probably have recovered quickly and returned to normal.

Xiao Chun's strongest attack could only barely injure her opponent.

The power of the Songstress Witch is self-evident.

Therefore, Xiao Chun doesn't think Xiao Qiu and Xiaoxia can defeat the Upper Demon, at least not at the moment.

But she felt that with Xiao Qiu and Xiaoxia's current strength, even if they couldn't win, they should be able to stall for time, right?

However, Youyou poured cold water on her enthusiasm:

One second.

"What?"

"It would only take a second for the Upper Demon to defeat your two companions."

"Even if the Shining Form is activated!?"

"If their magic power is close to that of Upper Rank, then after activating their Shining Form, they might still have a chance to defeat Upper Demon."

"But unfortunately, they are still too young and inexperienced."

Youyou revealed the cruel truth.

The hierarchy among Demons is extremely strict: Lower Rank, Middle Rank, Upper Rank, Lord, and king. Each rank absolutely crushes the Demons of the rank below it.

Although the higher the level, the fewer the number of Demons there are, even the 'King' level Demons have only appeared in the first generation and this generation.

But this one 'king' wiped out all the Magical Creatures and Magical Girls.

Therefore, the Magical Girls have no chance of winning.

Youyou was absolutely certain of this.

Xiao Chun was shocked by Youyou's news and was speechless for a moment.

Youyou's ears twitched as she said, "Therefore, my plan is the only way for your world to escape the Demons invasion. You won't make a mistake, Murong Xiao..."

Just as Youyou was about to say something to Xiao Chun, her voice suddenly paused strangely, and she looked up in astonishment towards the haunted house.

Noticing her gaze, Xiao Chun realized that two minutes had passed and Fang Ming still hadn't come out!

She couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong! Did something happen to Brother Fang Ming?"

"No..." Youyou's rabbit face showed a hint of confusion. She turned to Xiao Chun and asked:

"... Is your brother Fang Ming really just an ordinary person?"

What are you trying to say?

"He just knocked out my two... familiars, and has now solved the first puzzle..."

"???"

Xiao Chun was completely bewildered.

[OP plays.]

(????)

(Did I hear that right?)

(Yes, you heard right, kids, your cousin really did take down two Wizards all by himself...)

(Although I already knew my cousin was incredibly strong, this is just too outrageous!)

(Isn't it said that ordinary people can't affect Demons or familiars?)

(I don't know! I really don't know!)

The comments section didn't have any particular opinions on Xiao Qiu and her friends' inability to defeat the Upper Demon.

For a typical anime series, this is a common trope: initially presenting an enemy that no one can defeat, only to have that same enemy become insignificant later on.

For example, the Songstress Witch at the end of the first season is now subtly trending towards becoming a 'unit of measurement'.

When netizens discuss Xiao Qiu and Xiaoxia's abilities on the Sky Screen, they often use the metaphor of Songstress Witch.

For example, Xiao Qiu is now equivalent to three Songstress Witch, and Xiaoxia is equivalent to two Songstress Witch, etc.

So no matter how terrifying Youyou described the Demons, the audience didn't feel any tension.

Anyway, in the future, Upper Rank will just be a random path along the roadside.

In comparison, Fang Ming's ability to single-handedly defeat two familiars is even more astonishing!

Below the Sky Screen, Chen Xiaoxia was the first to express surprise. Her eyes lit up as she looked at Fang Ming and asked:

"Brother Fang Ming! Brother Fang Ming! How did you defeat those two familiars?"

"... I... I'm not really sure either."

Fang Ming expressed his confusion.

If the version of himself on the Sky Screen entered the haunted house as 'Fang Ming' and encountered the familiar, he shouldn't have displayed any magical abilities.

Without being able to display magic and magical power, he cannot touch Youyou's Youyou. If he cannot touch Youyou's Youyou, how can he talk about 'killing' it?

Etc.

Fang Ming suddenly realized a blind spot and asked Youyou, "You can create familiars?"

"Definitely not," Youyou replied immediately. "It must be Dongdong's magic that brought some 'toys' to life, added them to the Book of Friends, and turned them into something like 'familiars,' and these kinds of things... all have physical forms."

Like Toy Bear and Pencil Monster, they are actually physical entities, and ordinary people can harm them if they wield extremely powerful weapons.

"I see. So what you call a 'familiar' is actually just a 'toy' that's slightly stronger than an ordinary person."

Fang Ming nodded in understanding.

In order to build the haunted house and create fear, Youyou and Song Niandong must have created quite a few 'familiars' in a short period of time.

With a large quantity, the quality will inevitably decline, since Dongdong's magic is limited.

When divided among each 'familiar', that amount of magic power is probably even more negligible.

If I had to rank them, they'd probably be only slightly better than beginners at collecting Xiao Bai. If they weren't enlarged and kept at their original size, they might even be a little better.

However, this level of strength was clearly no match for Fang Ming abilities far surpassed those of ordinary people.

Therefore, it becomes understandable that Fang Ming was inside the Sky Screen, easily dealt with him.

"Even so, Brother Fang Ming is amazing!" Yu Muqiu's eyes sparkled with admiration. "I never knew Brother Fang Ming was so amazing!"

Chen Xiaoxia also came over and curiously looked at Fang Ming, saying:

"Brother Fang Ming! Do you have any secret techniques you've got up your sleeve to teach me? I always lose to my stinky old man in fights. Quickly teach me a few amazing skills so I can teach him a lesson! If you're willing to teach me, you'll be my brother from now on!"

"..."

That's truly an outrageous display of filial piety.

I wonder what kind of expression Old Man Chen would have if he knew what Chen Xiaoxia was thinking.

But... is the Chen family really that martial-spirited? The father and daughter fight... and 'every time'?

No wonder Chen Xiaoxia is so carefree; it's all her father's fault.

Chen Xiaoxia looked at Fang Ming expectantly, but after a while she suddenly shivered and subconsciously turned her gaze to the side, where she saw Song Niandong looking at her with scrutinizing and hostile eyes.

Chen Xiaoxia tilted her head and looked at Song Niandong, puzzled.

What's going on?

Did I say something wrong?

[The opening sequence, which lasts for a little over a minute, ends, and the scene shifts to Fang Ming in the haunted house.]

He gently placed a monkey toy on the ground, smiled, and tied it securely with a rope nearby, remarking at the same time:

"Technology is getting more and more advanced these days. This toy is almost lifelike. I don't know how these kids got it... Hmm, we can't break it, so you'll have to lie here for a while."

Fang Ming spoke, he casually opened the storage cabinet next to him and stuffed the monkey toy inside.

At the same time, as if he had eyes in the back of his head, he casually reached behind him and with a 'bang', another tennis ball appeared in his hand.

Fang Ming's gaze sharpened, and he immediately turned around, looked back, and threw the ball.

Call out--!

The tennis ball seemed to break the sound barrier, streaking across the white air before landing squarely in front of an automated tennis machine with long arms and legs, which had been lurking in the shadows, ready to ambush Fang Ming.

Bang!

Right between the eyebrows!

The tennis machine was sunk on the spot by this powerful blow; its anthropomorphic eyes were filled with circles, and stars symbolizing fainting appeared above its head.

Upon seeing this, Fang Ming was initially startled, then immediately ran to the tennis machine. Seeing that the machine was completely unharmed, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank goodness, I almost thought I had really broken it."

Fang Ming shook the 'tennis machine' familiar, which seemed alive but had actually been gone for a while, and put it back on the high place of the shadow platform. He then politely arranged it before turning to look at the star mark to the side.

"Oh, lucky you've solved the first puzzle."

Fang Ming said with great pleasure, while pointing his finger at the star mark.

The star marker opened, and the first key landed in his hand. Fang Ming carefully put the first key away before turning to look at the passage further away:

"Speaking of which, are the classes at Spring City High School really that big? It feels like we've been walking for ages."

Fang Ming muttered to himself, but didn't think much of it. He put away the key and continued forward, preparing to find and solve the next puzzle.

Judging from the excited look on his face, he was clearly enjoying himself.

Chapter 144 Is Xiao Bai Looking for Files?

(I have to say... my cousin's fighting ability... well, it's hard to judge...)

(Did I see that right? Did he just hit a tennis ball at supersonic speed?!)

(This is probably just a stylistic device used in the show! How could an ordinary person possibly hit a tennis ball at the speed of sound!)

(If it really hits at supersonic speed, whatever my cousin casually throws will become a murder weapon www)
