Why Is Nico So Mean?!
She can unleash people's inner fears. If you make eye contact with her, your fear will be amplified to its peak, and your body will be unable to move due to extreme terror!
Youyou previously said that the haunted house amplified people's inner fears by using the power of the Doll Mary.
But Mary's abilities in the haunted house are only a small part of what's happening; an ordinary person with a strong will could also overcome it.
However, now, the Doll Mary is unleashing her full power against Xiao Chun!
Driven by extreme fear, Xiao Chun's body instinctively stiffened, rendering her unable to move for a moment.
But the vines in the distance flew straight towards her!
Not good--!
Hearing the whooshing sound in her ears and catching glimpses of the approaching vines out of the corner of her eye, Xiao Chun closed her eyes and mobilized her magic to prepare to withstand the attack.
But at the crucial moment, a monkey doll suddenly appeared and flew straight from Fang Ming's direction, hitting Mary, who was releasing fear, with perfect accuracy!
"Huh--!?"
Mary hadn't expected an attack from her side, and before she could even use her 'teleportation' ability, she was hit squarely by a flying monkey doll. After letting out a strange cry, she and the monkey doll flew to a farther place.
It was at this moment that Fang Ming's voice came:
"You can't close your eyes during a fight!! Xiao Chun!!!"
"!"
The stiffness caused by fear vanished instantly. At the critical moment, Xiao Chun leaned back, narrowly avoiding the vines that were attacking her.
When the vines brushed past her, Xiao Chun looked in Fang Ming's direction and then her expression turned to one of astonishment.
Fang Ming had taken off his coat at some point. He tore off a piece of it and wrapped it around his hands and the enchanted staff to prevent it from falling off.
Meanwhile, he himself was fighting against four or five toy familiars.
Cats, rabbits, Little Bear, puppies... several toy familiars, along with a familiar activated by tools in the distance, are relentlessly attacking Fang Ming.
However, Fang Ming held his own against four or five familiars!
Not only did he not fall behind, he actually gained the upper hand!
The enchanted staff in his hand was wielded by him as if it were a sword in the hands of a knight-errant. Every time the staff was raised and lowered, it would strike a familiar that had taken flight!
Various familiars in the distance were also launching ranged attacks on Fang Ming, but Fang Ming seemed to be able to see them from all directions. No matter which direction the familiars attacked from, he could easily knock away all the flying objects!
Tennis?
Shoot it away!
Aluminum can?
Shoot it away!
A rabbit plush toy flying over?
Fang Ming unleashed a powerful, charged strike, completely crushing the rabbit doll and sending the cotton inside flying everywhere!
This was not a close battle at all; it was more like a massacre!
A massacre of toy familiars by Fang Ming alone!
"So... so strong..."
Xiao Chun stared at Fang Ming in shock.
From Magical Girls's perspective, Fang Ming's power is not strong at all. He has no magical energy, and the only thing that can harm his familiar is the stick in his hand.
With just this one stick, Fang Ming was like a tiger charging into a flock of sheep. Any familiar would be defeated or even shattered in no time in his hands!
Fang Ming brought the strength and skills of an ordinary person to their fullest potential!
Xiao Chun even felt that if she didn't use magic or fly, but only used melee skills, she would probably be pinned to the ground and beaten by Fang Ming!
Fang Ming, who was fighting the familiar, even had time to turn around and remind Xiao Chun:
"Don't stand still during the fight! Xiao Chun!! Go deal with that black rabbit and Dongdong! Leave this to me!"
"Eh? But... Brother Fang Ming, you're just an ordinary person..."
"Believe me!!"
As the ground cracked, Fang Ming, who was getting further and further away from Xiao Chun, shouted to Xiao Chun after defeating the familiar once again:
"You just need to trust me! Trust that I'll be fine! Trust that you'll definitely defeat the enemy!! Just trust me! Xiao Chun! Go!!!"
(Damn, this is getting exciting!)
(Go for it, Xiao Chun!! Trust your cousin!!!)
(Seriously, don't you guys think there's something wrong with this? Is my cousin really that amazing? Is he even human!?)
(Theoretically speaking, an ordinary person wielding an enchanted weapon, with their superior combat experience and skills, could indeed defeat some weaker familiars...)
(Well, 'theoretically speaking'...)
(I don't know why, but seeing my cousin dominating the battlefield, I suddenly stopped worrying.)
(... But the background music hasn't changed!)
Background music (BGM) is a very important element in film and television works.
It not only helps viewers quickly immerse themselves in the work, bringing them exciting and tearful moments, but also tells them whether the main characters are at an advantage or a disadvantage.
For example, the background music that played at the end of the first season when Xiao Qiu awakened her Shining Form made everyone feel like 'this game is in the bag'.
For example, right now, the background music that is urgent and pressing from beginning to end, creating a sense of crisis, makes people realize that Xiao Chun and Fang Ming have never left the danger.
This episode isn't their show.
"You damn rabbit!!! If anything really happens to Brother Fang Ming and Xiao Chun, even if my stinky old man came today, he couldn't save you!!!"
Chen Xiaoxia grabbed Youyou's arm and swung it around in circles, making Youyou's eyes gleam.
Yu Muqiu and Song Niandong remained silent, completely absorbed in the plot of Sky Screen story and oblivious to everything else.
As for Xiao Chun, seeing Fang Ming the Sky Screen, she would often look at Fang Ming, and occasionally she would blush strangely, as if she was thinking about some strange and wonderful things.
Fang Ming didn't care about any of that. He leaned back on the sofa, looking at the remaining time on the Sky Screen, and roughly guessed where this episode would end.
In any case, given the remaining time, it's impossible for Xiao Chun to Shine in this episode.
We might have to wait until the next episode.
So this episode will probably end with Xiao Chun and Fang Ming continuing to suffer setbacks.
No longer restrained by the doll, Xiao Chun's movements became more agile.
Transformed into a green ray of light, she dodged left and right within the Nightmare Barrier, avoiding the attacking vines while searching for Song Niandong and Youyou's figures.
After searching for only a few seconds, Xiao Chun spotted Song Niandong standing at a higher position, holding a magic book, and the Magical Creatures Youyou standing beside Song Niandong.
"Dongdong! Stop!!"
Xiao Chun flew towards Song Niandong, calling out to her as she did so, hoping that Song Niandong would stop in time.
But Song Niandong acted as if she hadn't heard anything. Her large wizard hat covered her eyes, making it impossible to see her expression or eyes.
But she didn't hide her actions.
Song Niandong simply extended her finger and pointed at Xiao Chun, and countless vines attacked Xiao Chun from all directions as she flew towards her.
The vines swarmed around, reminding Xiao Chun of Xiao Bai's chains.
Xiao Chun wasn't sure whether she should thank Xiao Bai. Thanks to Xiao Bai's past conflict with them, Xiao Chun had some experience dealing with long, narrow attacks.
The vines flew through the sky and underfoot, tracking Xiao Chun's figure. While dodging, Xiao Chun finally stopped just passively defending. She drew her Vine Bow, and a bright green Arrows condensed and was released the moment it took shape!
Call out--!
An Arrows flew towards Song Niandong, but immediately afterward, more Arrows flew from Xiao Chun's hand like a machine gun!
The sky was filled with emerald green Arrows, which shattered the vines and continued their downward trajectory towards Song Niandong.
The sky and the ground were covered with the green of Arrows and vines. Amidst the green magic emanating from the Arrows and the rain of fragments falling from the shattered vines, an inconspicuous Arrows flew towards Youyou, who was standing next to Song Niandong!
These are Arrows that Xiao Chun has hidden, and they are also the arrows that will surely kill Youyou!
The Arrows are silent, like venomous snakes lurking in the shadows; by the time you see them, it's too late to dodge.
Just as the Arrows was about to hit its target, pink light fell from the sky, forming a barrier that destroyed the Arrows!
Pink!?
Upon seeing the pink light, Xiao Chun was startled and immediately looked up at the sky.
Then they saw a Magical Girls with a pink bun hairstyle and wearing a pink dress descend from the sky, protecting Song Niandong and Youyou behind her.
At the same time, the pink-clad Magical Girls waved her wand, and pink starlight appeared around her as decoration for her entrance.
"Magical Girl Nicole! I've come to protect my beautiful dreams! You evil nightmare, I will never allow you to bully my companions!"
Reciting her signature lines and performing her signature moves, Magical Girl Nicole who only exists in anime, appeared before Xiao Chun at this very moment.
[As the enemy.]
Chapter 150 How could Nicole be so mean!
(My goodness!)
(Nicole!!!)
(Magical Girl Nicole!? Eh?! It really is Nicole!? Why...? Eh!!?)
(Does Magical Girl Nicole, exist in real life?!)
(Wait... look closely, Nicole's expression is a bit blank, she's not alive!)
Magical Girl Nicole only exists in anime, suddenly appeared in reality, naturally causing countless Nicole fans to gasp in surprise.
However, some calm people noticed that Nicole's expression was off. Her face was stiff, and her eyes were lifeless, like a meticulously crafted puppet, devoid of any living presence.
That's right, this Nicole is Youyou and Song Niandong's trump card. Nicole's Magical Girls with Middle Rank strength, and it's even possible that she's already on par with Shine Xiao Qiu!
"Nicole's expressions... seem a bit more lively now."
Unlike the analysis in the comments, Fang Ming felt that Nicole's expressions and eyes on the Sky Screen were much more lively and vivid than Nicole in the real-life Dongdong's Friends Ledger.
The most direct proof is that Nicole has already grasped the concepts of 'our side' and 'enemy side'.
Although constrained by underlying logic, Nicole still strives to protect the beautiful dream and banish the nightmare, but she considers herself, Song Niandong, and Youyou as the "beautiful dream" side, and Xiao Chun as the "nightmare" enemy.
Does a higher level of power necessarily mean greater spirituality?
Thinking about the 'friends' Song Niandong had, Fang Ming felt that his guess was probably correct.
"Nicole... Nicole!!"
Upon seeing Nicole appear, Yu Muqiu's eyes widened, mirroring Xiao Chun's expression on the Sky Screen.
The reason why? Of course, it's because Yu Muqiu is also a fan of Magical Girl Nicole!
Before becoming Magical Girls, Yu Muqiu loved watching "Magical Girl Nicole" and even had related DVDs and merchandise at home.
After being exposed by Sky Screen, Yu Muqiu appeared in the theatrical version of <Magical Girl Nicole> as a 'guest Magical Girls ', which made Yu Muqiu even more excited.
But unexpectedly, Nicole, now alive, has appeared in the Sky Screen!
However, Yu Muqiu quickly realized that Song Niandong's magic was also something Song Niandong had created using figurines, and that Nicole in the Sky Screen was not a living person.
Even so, Yu Muqiu was quite excited. She leaned towards Song Niandong, took her arm, and asked:
"Dongdong, after this episode ends, can I meet Nicole? I really like her!"
"... Okay... but... it's too close."
Yu Muqiu's overly intimate actions made Dongdong blush, but Dongdong did not struggle.
She had actually accepted Yu Muqiu, even though there was an implicit rivalry between them, such as both being Fang Ming's 'sisters', Song Niandong didn't dislike Yu Muqiu.
Yu Muqiu, who was in the Sky Screen, was the second person to show goodwill to Song Niandong, something Dongdong remembered.
Under the Sky Screen, Yu Muqiu exuded a warm and comforting aura, which made Song Niandong involuntarily lower her guard.
Therefore, Song Niandong would not refuse Yu Muqiu's request.
Xiao Qiu and Dongdong get along well, which makes Fang Ming very gratified.
Dongdong is making more and more friends, which is a good thing. After moving to the new house and truly standing in the sunlight, I believe Dongdong will become more and more cheerful.
