A New Magical Creature
Nicole's appearance shocked Xiao Chun.
But what shocked Xiao Chun even more was that she seemed unable to beat Nicole.
"[Sweet Dream Ray]--!"
The magic wand with a star pattern at the tip was waved in Nicole's hand, and at Nicole's call, a beam of light flew out from the tip of the magic wand.
The color of that light was the same as Nicole's signature color—pink.
Within this pink light, countless twinkling stars can be seen, their light reflecting off the rays and making the rays appear as dazzling as a galaxy cascading from the sky.
This is one of Nicole's signature spells, [Sweet Dream Ray]. It should theoretically only work on nightmares and nightmare creatures, according to the original work.
But... at this moment, Xiao Chun sensed danger on this platform.
Extremely dangerous!
Xiao Chun tried to dodge, and she was trying to dodge, but the moment she was stopped because of Nicole's appearance caused Xiao Chun feet to get entangled in vines.
Vines, seemingly appearing out of nowhere, bound Xiao Chun's movements, depriving her of her best opportunity to escape.
"Oops--"
When Xiaochun saw her legs were entangled, Xiao Chun knew something was wrong, but it was too late. Nicole's beam had already flown from afar and landed on her.
"Aaaaaah--!!!!"
Xiao Chun's Pain screams rang out. In the anime, the ray that wouldn't harm a person even if it hit them was causing real damage to Xiao Chun.
With just one strike, white steam rose from Xiao Chun's body, and she collapsed to the ground.
The vines took this opportunity to entangle Xiao Chun.
"Xiao Chun!!!"
Fang Ming, who was below, also heard Xiao Chun's cry of pain. He immediately looked up at Xiao Chun and saw Xiao Chun entangled in vines.
In that instant, a red light seemed to flash in Fang Ming's eyes. He quickly grabbed a tool familiar with ropes attached to its body, violently twisted its body off, and threw the end with the ropes toward the split table above.
The ropes pulled the tool-wielding demon's mutilated body, entangled it around the table flying in the sky.
Fang Ming actually used this method to move rapidly towards Xiao Chun's direction.
But after moving only a few meters, Fang Ming's body stopped in mid-air.
Looking down at his feet, vines extending from the ground were wrapped around his feet, trying to drag him down!
The power of the vines was too great; Fang Ming, being an ordinary person, was powerless to resist. Soon, more vines spread over his body, enveloping him.
"Fang Ming... Brother Fang Ming --!!!"
Seeing Fang Ming being dragged away by the vines, Xiao Chun's eyes reddened, and she reached out her hand to Fang Ming.
But more vines blocked their way, Xiao Chun could only watch helplessly as Fang Ming was eventually engulfed by the vines until her vision was completely blocked by them, plunging her into darkness.
Then--
She lost consciousness.
[The ending theme is playing.]
(Oh my god, Nicole is so mean!)
(I don't believe this is Nicole! Dongdong, don't you feel heartbroken making Nicole do bad things?!)
(It must be that Black Rabbit's fault!! I've decided, I'm having a whole rabbit feast today!)
(The one eating a 'whole rabbit feast,' remember to maintain a balanced diet!)
(Sobbing, Xiao Chun's last desperate cry broke my heart...)
Xiao Chun's screams when she was attacked, and her desperate cries as she reached out to Fang Ming, all made the people below the Sky Screen feel extremely distressed.
At this very moment, Youyou had completely closed her eyes, her soul returning to a peaceful paradise.
Heh, I'm doomed.
These were her last words.
Even the most sentimental Yu Muqiu had tears in his eyes when he saw the ending credits, and turned to Dongdong, saying:
"Dongdong, Nicole isn't that kind of Magical Girls. She would never hurt a righteous person..."
"..."
Dongdong couldn't speak. If Yu Muqiu hadn't been holding her, she probably would have crawled into the blankets beside her.
Finally, Dongdong hesitated for only a second before decisively bowing his head and admitting his mistake:
"... sorry."
"Admitting your mistake makes you a good child." Fang Ming walked over, patted Song Niandong's head, and whispered:
"And in real life, you've never made Nicole do anything bad, have you?"
In reality, Song Niandong was taken away by Fang Ming while she was still nurturing Nicole, and didn't even have the chance to use Nicole.
She didn't have time to do anything wrong, so she didn't do anything wrong.
Chen Xiaoxia, whose eyes were also red-rimmed, echoed this sentiment:
"That's right, blame it on this stinky rabbit! Brother Fang Ming, let's stew this rabbit!"
Youyou:"!!!"
Fang Ming said kindly, "Xiaoxia, we need to be civilized. Youyou is our companion. How can we do this?"
Chen Xiaoxia looked at Fang Ming with a blank expression. "?"
Youyou's eyes also lit up with surprise.
Fang Ming didn't even think about punishing her?! Has the sun risen in the west?!
Youyou was still feeling relieved, but the next second Fang Ming's words plunged her into the Abyss. She heard Fang Ming say:
"We should at least use torture first... no, I mean give them a 'body massage' first, then a 'body wash,' and after all that, we can throw them in the pot and simmer them over low heat. It's not too late then--"
After listening, Chen Xiaoxia suddenly understood, a sinister smile appearing on her face. She rubbed her hands together and approached Youyou, saying:
"Great, Brother Fang Ming really knows how to eat... no, he knows how to care for his 'companions'! Let's do as Brother Fang Ming says! Youyou, don't run away!"
"You... you guys, don't come any closer!!!"
Youyou let out a scream and started darting around wildly, with Chen Xiaoxia close behind. The two of them chased each other in the small room.
Seeing Chen Xiaoxia and Youyou playfully bickering, Yu Muqiu's sadness subsided considerably.
She looked up at the Sky Screen again.
At the end of this episode, there is a 20-second bonus scene featuring Xiao Qiu and Xiaoxia.
Yu Muqiu and Chen Xiaoxia were still searching for Xiao Bai's whereabouts, but in the process, they were eventually attracted by the food stalls set up in front of the school.
Originally, the two's main goal was to find Xiao Bai, but they ended up eating as they walked, while also searching for Xiao Bai along the way.
The two even stopped in front of a 'shooting game' booth.
I don't know which class organized this game, but they used it to showcase their class's culture by shooting at homemade 'cultural items' displayed on a shelf.
Chen Xiaoxia spotted a cardboard cat model at the very top of the shelf, picked up a homemade rubber band gun, and aimed it at her target.
As expected of someone from a family of police officers, Chen Xiaoxia's posture and form when holding a gun were quite standard. She only needed a few seconds to test fire and aim before easily winning the grand prize at this booth!
Congratulations to both students! You've won our grand prize!
"Yeah!"
Amidst the congratulations from their senior classmates, Xiaoxia and Xiao Qiu gave each other a high five.
Episode 7 ends here.
Chapter 151 New Magical Creatures
(Still playing around!! Xiao Chun and her cousin are both in trouble!)
(Sigh, there's nothing we can do. Who would have thought something like this would happen at school? And Dongdong and the others didn't even cause a big commotion.)
(And if Xiao Qiu and Xiaoxia were there, Xiao Chun might not have been able to activate her Shining Form...)
The comments are absolutely right.
If Xiao Qiu and Xiaoxia were there, the two of them could simply activate their Shine and solve all the problems, so there would be no need for Xiao Chun's burst of power.
So it's not that Xiao Qiu and Xiaoxia weren't there; rather, it would have been troublesome if they had been there.
Even so, seeing the two carefree enjoying themselves in the final scene still made the people below the Sky Screen feel somewhat uneasy.
Chen Xiaoxia, who was 'executing' Youyou, and Yu Muqiu, who was holding Song Niandong, both looked away, embarrassed, at the wall next to them and the empty television.
Fang Ming had no intention of teasing the two. After the final episode of Sky Screen finished airing, he said to the group:
"Alright, episode seven is over. Let's start moving."
"Yay! Time to move!"
Chen Xiaoxia immediately raised her hand and cheered, and Yu Muqiu next to her also cheered. The two of them seemed very busy, and excitedly went to move the boxes in the room.
Seeing the two of them bustling around, Fang Ming shook his head helplessly, then called Xiao Chun to help him move the things in the room to the car downstairs.
The new headquarters of the Magical Girls was some distance away. By the time they arrived at the new headquarters and had the staff help them settle their belongings, it was already past midnight.
Fang Ming asked Xiao Chun to take the Magical Girls to the cafeteria for lunch, while he went to his private office, turned on his computer, and made an internet call to someone.
Shortly after, the VoIP call was connected, and a familiar voice came through:
"Fang Ming!! You better settle my final payment!! Otherwise I'll report you for harboring Magical Girls!"
Meng Chen's voice came from the other end of the phone.
Fang Ming calmly responded:
"Check your account tonight, and do me a small favor while you're at it."
"So quick?" Meng Chen seemed quite surprised by Fang Ming's decisiveness, but after hearing the seriousness in Fang Ming's words, Meng Chen stopped joking with Fang Ming and asked very seriously:
"What's up? You want me to hack into the police system again?"
"No, I want it bigger."
"?"
"I've heard you have a lot of connections in the Americas District?"
Fang Ming asked Meng Chen.
Meng Chen was silent for a moment on the other end of the phone before saying, "You have a few friends who want me to do 'work' in the Americas District?"
"Help me investigate the official records over there, the hidden records that involve Magical Girls."
"Goodness, your 'job' is getting bigger and bigger, and you really think highly of me!"
Meng Chen sighed on the other end of the line. Even without video communication, Fang Ming could guess that Meng Chen was rolling his eyes right now.
Fang Ming didn't mince words and asked directly, "Just tell me if it can be done."
"Dude, with my abilities... I definitely couldn't do it. Although I'm somewhat skilled in networking, in the eyes of the top experts, I'm just a nobody. As for hacking into the official files of the Americas District... don't even think about it."
"Hmm, so what? Where's your 'but'?"
Fang Ming, who already knew Meng Chen's character, knew that the kid definitely had more to say.
Sure enough, Fang Ming heard Meng Chen chuckle and say:
"However, I am, after all, someone in this industry, and I have some connections. I happen to know one of the world's top ten hackers, and I just want to ask him for help..."
"Stop rambling, just tell me how much it costs."
"No, no, no, it's free."
"?"
"Just give him a few autographed photos of Xiao Qiu and the others later; he's Xiao Qiu -hard fan of them."
"... OK."
Fang Ming remained silent for a long time before slowly uttering a single word.
Meng Chen smiled and said, "But I'll definitely earn the 'service fee' for helping me make the contact, just like always, you know."
