The Land Favored by Fate
Today is a rare 'accident-free day'.
There were no Demons or monsters.
Perhaps after witnessing the powerful entity formed by the combination of the monster and the Demons in the third episode, the mastermind behind it all instantly fell silent. Fang Ming used all the resources at his disposal, but still couldn't find any information related to the monster.
There are no clues whatsoever about those contagious Mutant Magic.
The child was being quiet, which meant he was up to no good. The more these people hid, the more uneasy Fang Ming felt.
But what can you do if you can't find it?
Fang Ming could only first establish his 'Magical Girls Idol Agency' and truly transform the Magical Girls into world-class idols, gaining a foothold in the Americas District first.
So that very night, an idol group called 'Magical Starway' was quietly established.
Nominally, it's an idol group, but in reality, it's a new cult primarily composed of Magical Girls.
Everyone here is a 'die-hard fan' who idolizes Magical Girls and treats them like gods.
Fang Ming intends to use this emerging religious sect as a starting point to control the discourse in the Americas District.
He believes that doing so is not difficult.
Of course, Xiao Qiu and the others agreed to do this.
They are already doing work similar to idols, producing merchandise, doing advertising, and even making cameo appearances in some tokusatsu anime.
Although the amount of work was small, it was still somewhat related to being an idol.
Therefore, they did not reject Fang Ming's decision at all. Xiao Qiu even enthusiastically wanted to form a real idol group with the others, to form a band, just like in the last episode of the second season of Sky Screen.
However, because I am completely tone-deaf, I had to regretfully give up on this idea.
What Fang Ming didn't say, that might hurt Xiao Qiu, was—
It's so good that Xiao Qiu didn't form a band... otherwise the purity of Magical Girls fans in this world would definitely decrease.
In conclusion, everything seems to be proceeding smoothly so far.
Oh, right, there's one more thing.
"The magic nodes in N City have been set up." That night, Youyou ran over to Xiao Bai and said:
"Once they fall asleep at night, their Dream Power will gather and form a simple defensive and reconnaissance barrier. At that time, no matter where a problem occurs, we will know immediately."
"Thanks for your hard work."
Xiao Bai nodded gently to Youyou.
Youyou sighed, "But doing this will more easily attract the attention of Demons... I don't really recommend it."
"Choose the lesser of two evils."
Xiao Bai answered softly.
What she asked Youyou to do was the same thing Youyou had done in Spring City: to collect the Emotional Force of everyone in the city to construct a massive dream array.
However, unlike before, when the goal was to create Nightmare Barrier, the goal now is to create Good Dream Barrier.
In dreams, they guide people's hope and goodwill, which come together to become the power of Magical Girls.
Since the barrier set up by Youyou can collect despair, it can naturally also collect hope.
The reason Youyou didn't do that at the time was that the Power of Hope was more conspicuous and more attractive to Demons than the Despair Power.
If the Despair Power is a shadow hidden under the bright sun, then the Power of Hope is a guiding light in the Night Demon.
It's easy to tell which of these two is more appealing without even comparing them.
It's Youyou if it's just the Power of Hope of one city, but Xiao Bai needs to do is to set up such a formation in all twenty-six major cities in the Americas District over the next few days, using these twenty-six cities as the core and covering the entire Americas District with magic arrays.
In this way, we can monitor the Mutant Magic across the Americas District!
Even if that Mutant Magic is in the laboratory, as long as it makes a move, Xiao Bai and the others will be able to easily sense it.
At that time, they can easily find the true source of the Mutant Magic and follow the clues to find the real base of those gutter rats!
The problem is that in doing so, the Power of Hope will also be transmitted to the outside world through the World Barrier.
Although Demons may not be able to sense the Power of Hope in this world, the chances of being discovered by Demons will greatly increase!
Youyou doesn't recommend doing that.
But when she thought about the Mutant Magic that group of people had developed, which might spread to the whole world like in the movie 'Resident Evil', Youyou shut her mouth again.
One possibility is a potential invasion by Demons, and the other is a high probability of filling the world with Mutant Monster. Youyou knows which one to guard against first.
"In short, the matter in N City is settled, so we don't need to worry about any accidents happening in N City."
Youyou finally comforted Xiao Bai.
Xiao Bai asked, "Can you create a barrier with different time flow rates inside and outside using the magic of hope?"
"OK."
Youyou nodded and said, "Based on the magic of hope, plus Nicole's current strength, the time flow between dreams and reality should be able to reach 4 to 1... Do you want to use it now?"
Xiao Bai nodded decisively. "Yes! But..."
She looked up at the sky.
The Sky Screen slowly unfolds, and the opening of the fourth episode of the spin-off appears on the Sky Screen.
"Let's wait until we finish watching this episode before we talk about it."
Xiao Bai said this to Youyou.
The opening of the fourth episode did not pick up where the third episode left off; instead, it focused the scene on a mansion.
A blue-haired girl wearing glasses sat in her bedroom, flipping through a book called "Black Empire," reading the words and plot word by word.
After finishing the last page, the blue-haired girl closed the book, her fingers tracing the author's name, and murmured to herself:
"... Fang Ming."
"It's this author again... You seem to really like his books?"
The lion doll, Lien, was eating grapes when she asked the girl a question.
The girl nodded slightly, then turned her gaze to the bookshelf beside her.
Harry Potter, The King of the Rings, The Space Thief... all sorts of novels that cater to Western tastes are here, and without a doubt, they are all the work of Fang Ming.
Luna glanced over the novels she had been reading before continuing:
"His books are very good."
Luna's favorite book is Harry Potter, whose unique magical world she longs for.
Unfortunately, after becoming Magical Girls, the Magical Armament she awakened was not a magic wand, but a pistol.
This is perhaps because she has been exposed to weapons since childhood, which is quite regrettable.
"Hmm, it seems this author has come to the Americas District."
Suddenly, Lien spoke up, picking up her phone and pointing to a news article: "Genius Author Visits Americas District, Book Signing Expected at XX Stadium," and said:
"It seems like we've been here for a while now. We held an autograph session at the request of our fans..."
Before Lien could finish speaking, Luna immediately stood up from her seat, her gaze resolute, and said:
"Book signing event! I want to go!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the opening theme started playing.
(Wait, this isn't right? Was this the ending of the last episode?)
(I wanted to see Xiao Bai, Little Red, and Xiao Lan meet! Why did you jump here?!)
(I get it! Sky Screen aired one episode less than I should have! Give it back to me now!)
(But it turns out that Xiao Lan is a fan of her cousin!)
(Is there anything strange about that? I'm a fan of my cousin too!)
(Fun fact: Before the Sky Screen appeared, my cousin was actually more famous than the Magical Girls...)
That's the truth.
In order to achieve financial freedom as soon as possible and not have to worry about money for the rest of his life, Fang Ming entered the world of novels long before Magical Girls appeared.
Since the age of twelve, he has been tirelessly 'transporting' classic masterpieces from his previous life into this world.
Some of his works have even been adapted into movies or TV series, otherwise Fang Ming wouldn't have had so much money for him to squander.
Unfortunately, although he became famous at a young age, perhaps because he became famous too early, the sweet and romantic campus romance that Fang Ming had imagined never happened.
After learning that he was a famous novelist, he was surrounded by girls who were after his fame and money.
As a result, throughout junior high, high school, and four years of university, Meng Chen was the only person I could truly consider a friend.
He doesn't even have a childhood sweetheart!
This is undeniably a sad thing.
However, in reality, Fang Ming did not write the novel "Black Empire" because he had been minimizing his presence ever since the appearance of the Sky Screen.
Only Fang Ming, who was in the Sky Screen, was still working on his writing.
Well, although for him it doesn't really count as work.
[The opening sequence ends quickly, and the perspective shifts to Aurora.]
In the spacious warehouse room, Aurora lay on her bed on the second floor, recalling the events of the previous night.
"You are Magical Girls from the Americas District?"
The silver-haired girl questioned the two of them in a very cold tone.
Aurora was the first to respond, "So what if I am! Judging from your tone, aren't you one of the Magical Girls here?"
"..."
The silver-haired girl looked at Aurora, her gaze lingering on Aurora's injured left arm. After a long silence, she finally spoke:
"I am Magical Girls from the Central Continent District, and you..."
She seemed to want to say something, but then stopped and asked instead, "Where are your contracted creatures?"
Why do these Magical Girls always ask their contracted creatures first?
Aurora recalled that Lien had also asked her how the contract was made, and now the newly appeared silver-haired Magical Girls was asking the same question first.
Kelly still didn't want to come forward, so Aurora could only avoid answering the question and said to the silver-haired girl in a less-than-friendly manner:
"What's it to you? Where's your contracted creature?"
"..."
The silver-haired girl did not answer.
The silver-haired Female Ghost silence made the two feel uneasy, while her strength, far exceeding their own, made them wary.
Perhaps their wariness was too obvious, for the silver-haired girl hesitated before sighing and saying:
"... Never mind, just be more careful next time."
After uttering a remark that was unclear whether it was out of concern or a reminder, the silver-haired girl turned and disappeared from their sight.
They didn't even have time to call out to her.
Chapter 225 Land Favored by Fate
(Xiao Bai is a bit cold)
(Isn't she always cold? www)
(No way, they're leaving already? Don't you guys have mouths?! Explain yourselves clearly!)
(A grumpy little girl, a cold-faced ice queen, a socially anxious girl... Damn, none of them actually have mouths!)
(If you replaced Xiao Bai with Xiao Chun or Xiao Qiu, they would probably have already formed a team.)
(Why not Xiaoxia?)
(www I'm afraid Xiaoxia and Aurora will fight)
The Magical Girls on the Sky Screen didn't exchange many words, but that wasn't entirely because they were all poor at expressing themselves.
