Dongdong Decides to Come Clean!

Fang Ming didn't want to take up Yu Muqiu's time while they were having fun, to help him find someone.

But Yu Muqiu and the others had different ideas.

After Fang Ming finished speaking, Xiao Qiu immediately said, "How can that be! Brother Fang Ming has come all this way, of course he should have a good time. Besides, we also want to ask Teacher Yuan some questions, so..."

"So Brother Fang Ming, please don't refuse!" Chen Xiaoxia said casually. "If Brother Fang Ming really feels bad about it, he can treat us to a big meal later!"

"This..."

Fang Ming was still somewhat hesitant.

Chen Xiaoxia didn't give Fang Ming a chance to hesitate. She grabbed Xiao Qiu's hand and ran outside, saying as she ran:

"Okay... let's start the game of finding... Teacher Yuan (very quietly)! Whoever finds her last has to treat the first person to ice cream! Let's go!"

"Ah! Slow down, Xiaoxia--!"

Xiao Qiu was pulled away by Chen Xiaoxia, and their voices gradually faded into the distance.

Fang Ming watched the two figures walk away and smiled helplessly. He turned to Xiao Chun and asked, "Do you want ice cream in November...?"

"Haha, Xiaoxia always says whatever comes to mind; she probably doesn't think much of it."

"Alright." Fang Ming laughed for a moment, then sighed and looked up at Xiao Chun, saying, "Then I'll leave today to you."

Seeing Fang Ming's smile, Xiao Chun was slightly lost in thought, and her face unconsciously flushed a little more.

But she quickly responded with a emphatical nod:

"Okay! Leave it to us!"

Because of Fang Ming's smile, Xiao Chun turned and walked forward with great energy.

Xiao Chun didn't see it. After she turned around, Fang Ming's smile faded a bit, and he frowned slightly as he watched Xiao Chun's back.

This child... could it be...?

He seemed to have sensed something.

(Oh no, Xiao Chun is getting more and more involved!)

(Judging from my cousin's expression, it seems like he's discovered something.)

(It's hard not to notice, after all, Xiao Chun's reaction was so obvious...)

(Given my cousin's personality, he'll most likely reject Xiao Chun, right?)

(This is assuming Xiao Chun is willing to confess her feelings)

(Xiao Chun! Keep it up!!!)

"Xiao Chun! Keep it up!!"

Chen Xiaoxia, standing below the Sky Screen, was also cheering for Xiao Chun on the Sky Screen.

But what she received in the end was a merciless karate chop from behind by Xiao Chun.

Thump!

"Ouch!" Chen Xiaoxia clutched her head and squatted on the ground.

Xiao Chun's cheeks flushed, and she said to Chen Xiaoxia, "You idiot! Brother Fang Ming is still here!!"

"Hehe~"

Chen Xiaoxia flashed a cute smile.

Xiao Chun secretly glanced at Fang Ming and saw that Fang Ming was just smiling and watching the scene without any special reaction, which made her feel a little disappointed.

The worst thing is that Fang Ming's brother doesn't react; it means that Fang Ming still doesn't have any special feelings for her.

Should I have been more proactive?

Xiao Chun fiddled with her fingers, lost in thought, while simultaneously looking at her reflection in the Sky Screen, silently saying:

'Xiao Chun, keep it up! Win over Fang Ming quickly!'

In this way, Xiao Chun below the Sky Screen can refer to the 'standard answer'!

Xiao Qiu and Xiaoxia have gone somewhere to look for Xiao Bai.

Fang Ming and Xiao Chun then returned to the vicinity of the haunted house.

This was Fang Ming's idea. He felt that Teacher Yuan Bai should be a responsible teacher, and since she was such a teacher, she should come back to the class to check on things from time to time.

So if you come by occasionally, you might run into Teacher Yuan Bai, who's back to visit the class.

Although Xiao Chun didn't quite agree with Fang Ming's decision, she knew very well that Xiao Bai actually didn't really want to see Fang Ming.

But the thought of spending more time with Fang Ming made Xiao Chun keep quiet.

Xiao Chun never expected that her 'world for two' with Fang Ming would eventually be invaded by a 'third party'.

Upon arriving at Dongdong's class, Fang Ming and Xiao Chun saw Song Niandong, dressed as a witch, walking out of the classroom.

"Dongdong?"

Fang Ming looked at Dongdong in surprise.

Song Niandong also turned around to look at Fang Ming in surprise, clearly not expecting him to come back.

Upon seeing Fang Ming and then looking at her current appearance, Song Niandong blushed and turned to run towards the haunted house next door.

But Fang Ming was faster than her; he quickly grabbed Song Niandong and said:

"Why are you running? Let me see, isn't this cute?"

"!"

Song Niandong blushed immediately, grabbing the wide brim of her witch's hat with both hands to completely cover her face.

Although she didn't speak, her actions said it all.

Song Niandong didn't want Fang Ming to see her like this.

Because this is what she looks like after Magical Girl Transformation, and also what she looks like when she's 'doing bad things'.

Song Niandong didn't want Fang Ming to see her bad side.

Fang Ming didn't think too much about it; he simply thought Song Niandong was cute.

However, seeing Song Niandong's extremely shy appearance, Fang Ming stopped teasing her and simply asked:

"Are you an NPC in here?"

"Um."

Song Niandong nodded.

Fang Ming asked curiously, "Then why didn't I see you when I was clearing the levels before? No, I didn't see any NPCs when I was clearing the levels before."

"..."

Song Niandong was speechless.

Hearing this, Xiao Chun seemed to sense something. She squinted at Song Niandong and then asked Fang Ming:

"Brother Fang Ming, didn't you see anyone else when you went into the haunted house?"

The people Xiao Chun was referring to were the classmates who played the 'ghosts' in the haunted house. Normally, besides the familiars placed by Youyou, there were also some ordinary people acting as ghosts inside.

Of course, they also accepted the magical Suggestion within the Magic Barrier, Suggestion would make them treat everything as normal and regard those mutated Wizards as classmates.

So logically, if Fang Ming had made it through the haunted house, he should have met one or two of these students dressed as ghosts.

Otherwise, one of the conditions for entering the haunted house wouldn't be 'not allowed to beat up NPCs'.

But now Fang Ming is saying that he didn't see any other NPCs inside?

Fang Ming nodded and said, "Yes, some of them are high-tech little toys. I must say, those little toys are quite fun."

"A little toy...?" Xiao Chun's smile faltered.

To be able to treat Wizards familiars like 'toys', I don't know whether to praise Fang Ming say he's incredibly carefree...

But that's not the point.

When Xiao Chun heard Fang Ming confirm that he had not seen any other NPCs, she gave Song Niandong another deep look.

Xiao Chun glanced around casually, but didn't see the Black Rabbit Youyou.

Since agreeing to let Black Rabbit Youyou join them, Xiao Chun had only ever seen Black Rabbit Youyou, or rather, a Magical Creatures.

She didn't see the Magical Girls behind the Black Rabbit Youyou, nor did she know who had made a contract with Youyou.

According to Youyou, Xiao Chun is still in the evaluation period and it is not convenient for her to meet with her contractor.

Xiao Chun thought that since she had just joined, it was indeed impossible for her to meet the boss directly, so she held back for the time being and did not ask any questions.

But seeing Song Niandong today and hearing Fang Ming's words, Xiao Chun suddenly had a new guess in her mind.

If the NPCs in the haunted house really did something bad, or were used by Youyou for something else...

Then why was Song Niandong still able to get out?

If the NPCs in the haunted house were actually harmless, then why didn't Fang Ming encounter any other NPCs when he entered the haunted house?

The more Xiao Chun thought about these things, the more suspicious things seemed to her.

She looked at Fang Ming, who was talking to Song Niandong, and suddenly stepped forward to Fang Ming and said:

"Brother Fang Ming, I also want to go into the haunted house, but I'm scared to go alone. Can you come with me?"

"Huh? Isn't a haunted house supposed to only allow one person to go in at a time?"

Fang Ming asked, puzzled.

Xiao Chun smiled and looked at Song Niandong, saying, "Dongdong should help us, right? We're just going in to take a look, it's like a tour, we won't be doing any puzzle-solving or challenges, that should be fine, right?"

"..."

Song Niandong did not answer.

Black Rabbit's Youyou magical Telepathy suddenly entered Xiao Chun's mind:

'Xiao Chun, what do you want to do?'

'Didn't you say you wouldn't harm humans? Then why aren't there any other NPCs in the haunted house?'

Xiao Chun didn't reveal that she suspected Song Niandong was the Magical Girls hiding behind the scenes; she came up with a plausible reason on the spot.

As expected, Youyou didn't suspect anything. She said helplessly, "... To maintain the Magic Barrier, someone always needs to provide magic power..."

'So you're using these students as magic batteries??'

'Not everyone, look, this child is fine, isn't he?'

Youyou is referring to Song Niandong.

The more Xiao Chun said this, the more suspicious she became that Song Niandong had a problem.

She said to Youyou, "... I need to personally confirm their safety!"

'...'

Youyou didn't answer for a while, then Youyou replied, "Okay, go if you want to."

After saying that, Youyou stopped talking and disappeared somewhere.

Xiao Chun turned her head again to look at Song Niandong, who was talking to Fang Ming, her gaze deep.

Although she wasn't certain yet, Xiao Chun had a feeling that she had found the hidden Magical Girls.

Chapter 146 Dongdong chose to confront the truth!

Perhaps it's because Fang Ming has already passed the first level, or perhaps it's because of Song Niandong.

Squad leader He Ling did not stop Fang Ming from bringing Xiao Chun inside.

Because, nominally speaking, Xiao Chun was only there to 'visit' and it wasn't really a challenge.

So Fang Ming, Xiao Chun, and Song Niandong went straight into the 'Super Scary' haunted house and entered this special 'magical space' together.

This was Fang Ming's second visit, and he was already very familiar with everything. While protecting Xiao Chun, he asked Song Niandong:

"Where were you hiding before? I didn't even notice you."

"... I... I was hiding over there..."
