Did She Recognize Me?

Youyou smiled back at Song Niandong and said, "Yes, I'm back, Dongdong."

"How's the plan going...?"

"That silver-haired girl has agreed to cooperate with us, but... she might not follow our plan. But it doesn't matter, as long as she agrees to go to the dream world to improve herself, our goal will be achieved."

Youyou's lips curled up, her smile taking on a slightly villainous air.

She said, "Whether she activates her Erosion Form or sinks into the dream, it will be a good thing for us."

"Teacher Yuan... is a good person..."

"I know she's a good person, Fang Ming is, and those Magical Girls are too, but what we did wasn't bad, was it, Dongdong?"

Youyou walked up to Song Niandong, affectionately rubbed against Song Niandong's calf, and said:

"Everything we do is to make the world a safer and happier place. They just don't understand us, so... don't worry, Dongdong."

"Our plan will succeed. No one will be hurt, no one will be sad, and the world we long for will one day come."

Youyou said this.

"Um."

With Song Niandong's light nod, the scene shifted to a distant view above Spring City, where the rudimentary form of a magic circle constructed from six Nightmare Seed was revealed to everyone.

Then, episode nine ended.

Chapter 162 Did she recognize me?

The next day at noon, Fang Ming sat in a coffee shop in N City, browsing discussion posts on a Magical Girls forum on his computer while keeping an eye on the scene outside the window.

Based on the photos He Xuan provided, and by reverse-engineering the location, the red and blue Magical Girls appeared here that day.

If we take the coffee shop where Fang Ming is located as a reference point, it's roughly located above a residential building less than 100 meters away.

The person who took this photo is a resident of this building and works as a photographer. He happened to be looking at the Sky Screen at the time and casually took a picture of two figures flying below the Sky Screen.

The Federation also sent people to search this area, mainly looking for girls whose representative colors are red and blue.

Unfortunately, the Federation gained nothing.

Even so, there are quite a few Federation agents in this area, or rather, agents from the Americas District.

They are still searching for the two Magical Girls with red and blue hair.

"Well, even so, it's not certain that they live here."

Fang Ming turned his gaze away from the outside and refocused on the forum.

Just like when Xiao Qiu and the others went to Rock City for "tourism," it's very likely that these two Magical Girls also came to N City on their way to do something, and they don't actually live here.

They could be from other areas of N City, or even from other cities; it's hard to say.

Fang Ming was also prepared for a protracted battle.

Unlike the others, he knew the name of at least one of the Magical Girls.

Magical Girl Aurora.

This is the protagonist of the side story that the 'Record Bear' decided to create in Fang Ming's dream.

If nothing unexpected happens, the protagonist of the spin-off should be one of the two Magical Girls from the Americas District.

Her name is Aurora, and her weapon is probably something like gauntlets. She's a melee Magical Girls, and compared to Chen Xiaoxia who uses a greatsword, her fighting style is likely to be much more violent.

Otherwise, that 'Record Bear' wouldn't have said that to him.

When Fang Ming Record Bear, he couldn't help but think of that bespectacled girl with brown hair.

If everything Fang Ming dreamed about on that airplane that day was the 'creator' of this world, then wouldn't everything in this world change according to her will?

Fang Ming really didn't want to think of himself as a character in an anime, but the existence of Sky Screen made him realize that he probably really was a character in an anime.

Furthermore, these 'anime characters' broke the fourth wall due to the inexplicable existence of the Sky Screen, and learned their own identities.

This explanation is also reasonable.

However, there was one point that Fang Ming felt was not quite reasonable.

If there were an anime series that focused entirely on Magical Girls, would the creators really make a very popular supporting character a male character?

Although the producer in the dream asked Teacher Record Bear to change this setting, Fang Ming's current body has not changed, which means that Teacher Record Bear did not intend to change the setting.

Moreover, Fang Ming was also very concerned about Record Bear's statement that "this is an unchangeable fact".

Just as the producer said, Record Bear is the creator of <Magic Autumn> and its related series. She is like a creator to <Magic Autumn>.

Changing settings and character abilities were just a matter of a few words or a few interjections for her.

Then where does the phrase "cannot be changed" come from?

Is this just an excuse for the Record Bear not wanting to change her settings, or... is she truly just a bear that 'records' everything, as her name suggests?

She can only record what she sees, but cannot change the plot.

If it's the latter, it means that this world was not created by the person who Record Bear's story.

She simply learned about the plot of this world through some means, which is why she created it and turned it into an anime series.

Then, for some reason, that show was projected into this world and became the Sky Screen of this world.

"So, does that mean whether I'm exposed... actually depends on her mood?"

Having figured all this out, Fang Ming had a bold idea in his mind.

If the Sky Screen this world is only showing Record Bear, then if Fang Ming could contact Teacher Record Bear and persuade her not to reveal her identity... wouldn't Fang Ming be completely safe?

The problem now is how to contact Teacher Record Bear.

Fang Ming's last dream was also very confusing; he had no idea why he had that dream.

In that dream, Fang Ming could only see the state of that world, but he couldn't change anything about it, so naturally he couldn't communicate with Teacher Record Bear.

Unable to communicate, how can Fang Ming persuade Teacher Record Bear to change his mind?

"Headache..."

Yesterday... no, it should be the day before yesterday, Fang Ming had a dream on the plane that gave him a real headache.

Although he had some guesses about the situation of Teacher Record Bear, he couldn't confirm his guesses; it was all just wild speculation.

After finishing his coffee on the table, Fang Ming closed his laptop and planned to find another place to rest.

He sat there all morning but couldn't find any clues related to the red and blue Magical Girls in the photo.

We might as well try somewhere else.

Incidentally, Fang Ming has already asked Meng Chen to help him find all the young girls named 'Aurora' online.

With Meng Chen's skills and his network in the hacker world, this should be a piece of cake for him. It's just that for some reason, there's still no news from Meng Chen.

Bang!!

Just as Fang Ming was about to leave, a sudden gunshot interrupted his thoughts.

"Aaaaaah!!!!"

Terrified screams echoed from the cramped café. Everyone instinctively dropped to the ground and crawled under nearby tables, while a few individuals peeked furtively toward the source of the gunfire.

Fang Ming was also one of the voyeurs.

But seeing how skillfully the crowd dodged, Fang Ming couldn't help but remain silent for a long time.

Although the Americas District of this world is not the United States of the previous life, the two sides seem to be about the same when it comes to 'freedom'!

However, seeing how skillfully these people were hiding, Fang Ming gave up his desire to help.

When it comes to protecting themselves, the people of City N City in the Americas District are clearly much more experienced than the average person.

As long as they don't go looking for trouble, there shouldn't be any problems.

After all, the shooter's target wasn't some kind of terrorist attack; he... or rather, they were chasing someone.

"Quick! Don't let her get away!!"

"Damn it! She's too slippery! I can't catch her!"

"If you can't catch her, you'll all go back and be buried with the BOSS's brother!"

Several gang members were shouting there. Fang Ming turned his head and saw a girl with long blonde hair, wearing jeans and a denim jacket, moving around among the gang members.

She was petite and agile, her blonde hair swaying up and down with her movements, making her look like a golden elf.

The gang members wanted to capture her, so they didn't fire many shots, only occasionally aiming at the girl's ankles.

But each time she fired, the girl dodged in advance.

Inside the cramped café, a young girl and several burly gangsters played a game of hide-and-seek.

As Fang Ming observed, he also learned who these gang members were through the 'explanations' of the passersby.

Gangs are not prohibited in the Americas District; they can even operate openly, which has led to the emergence of numerous gangs.

The group of suit-clad thugs, including both Black and White men, are members of the Crocodile Brotherhood, one of the three largest gangs in N City.

The crocodile logos embroidered on their suits, along with their exposed crocodile tattoos, proved their identity.

As for the girl they were chasing...

The passersby didn't recognize him.

He appears to be an innocent person, but how could an innocent person possess such agility?

Fang Ming was observing, the blonde girl ran over from a distance, paused briefly on the sofa to Fang Ming's upper left, and complained:

"Damn it, this chase is endless, it's as annoying as a fly!"

The girl's voice was clear and pleasant, somewhat similar to that of Higashiyama ○O. She seemed annoyed by the people chasing after her.

Seeing that the group was still relentlessly pursuing her, the girl seemed to have no intention of continuing to hide. She looked at the nearest person rushing towards her, quickly raised her right foot, and almost instantly delivered a whip kick to the gang member!

Click--!

"!"

Seeing the force of the girl's kick and hearing the cracking sound of bones breaking in the man's chest, Fang Ming's brow twitched.

That strength, that speed... it surpasses that of most adult men, right?

He focused his gaze on the girl, but suddenly noticed that she seemed to sense something and abruptly turned her gaze towards Fang Ming.

The moment their eyes met, the girl's pupils dilated instantly, and Fang Ming could see the surprise and disbelief in her eyes, as if she were wondering why Fang Ming was there.

Does she know me?

Wait, she saw through my disguise?!

Fang Ming not only altered his appearance, but also imbued his glasses with a spell that interfered with perception.

Even if an ordinary person had seen him before, they would not be able to recognize what he looks like now.

But the girl seemed to recognize him at a glance!

Magical Girls?!

But her hair was blonde... not red, not blue.

The third Magical Girls?

Are there more than two Magical Girls in the Americas District?

Before Fang Ming could figure it out, he saw the girl, after recognizing him, curse in a rather unpleasant tone:

"Damn it, how could he be here!"

'...'

She was wearing Bluetooth earphones, as if she were talking to someone.

Once the noise in the headphones disappeared, the girl said again:

"Let me plan out the shortest escape route!"

'...'

"Huh?! It's all blocked?!"

'...'
