Xilisi's Dream

Kelly was yelling at Lien, but her voice was trembling.

Nowadays, there are very few Magical Creatures left; like Magical Girls, almost every one that dies is one less.

Kelly didn't want any more people to sacrifice themselves, especially her students.

But when faced with the teacher's scolding, Lien calmly replied, "If you go together, they will not hesitate to activate the self-destruct program."

"... Just because of this!?"

"I will take revenge myself, Ms. Kelly. I will make them suffer the same Pain I have endured. This is the meaning of my life."

"Lien whispered."

Seeking revenge on the Aurora Society's laboratory is what Lien truly wants to do.

"You..."

Looking at her students, Kelly was momentarily at a loss for words.

The Pain that Lien experienced after coming into this world is real. Since she cannot empathize with Lien, she cannot blame Lien for her actions.

Kelly even believed that if Luna and Lien weren't now one, Lien could only use magic when she was by Luna's side, Lien probably wouldn't have implicated Luna and would have dared to go to the laboratory alone to seek revenge on the Aurora Society!

Hatred is now Lien's only motivation to keep going.

Although Lien on the Sky Screen didn't show it, she might do the same thing as Lien on the Sky Screen in the future.

After Lien finished speaking, everyone fell silent.

Song Niandong asked with some concern, "... Will Sister Xiao Bai... be alright?"

"Don't worry." Kelly answered Song Niandong. She sensed the data flow from Xiao Bai and communicated with her Data Doppelganger, her expression complex.

"The fate of that base was already sealed the moment Yuan Bai entered it."

Having awakened to a new form, Xiao Bai's strength has increased exponentially.

If the experimental base previously had a chance to self-destruct in front of Xiao Bai, now that Xiao Bai has discovered the base, its fate is no longer in their own hands.

In a mere instant, Xiao Bai was able to pull everyone into the Magic Barrier and bind them all with chains.

No one could possibly escape.

It's even less likely that anyone would harm Xiao Bai.

The current Xiao Bai is invincible.

Chapter 269 Xilisi's Dream

The invincible Xiao Bai has run into some trouble.

This wasn't Xiao Bai's first time in the Dream World. Back when she was helping Youyou set up the magic circle, Xiao Bai frequently entered and exited the dream world.

At that time, she was searching for Youyou's arrangements in the dream, while also honing her various skills to enhance her magic.

Later, she was almost corrupted by the Demon Nicole in a dream.

Xiao Bai might not be a frequent visitor to the Dream World, but she's certainly an expert in it. Logically... she should be very familiar with the Dream World...

That's right, 'logically speaking'.

"... What's going on here?"

In the lush forest, Xiao Bai walked through the woods, searching for traces of the main consciousness of Xilisi.

Normally, in a place like this, Xiao Bai should have been able to find Xilisi's true form very quickly.

But now, Xiao Bai finds that she can't use too much magical power.

Once she uses it, she'll likely be kicked out of this world by Xilisi.

Ultimately, at this moment, the Magical Girls are "causing trouble" on someone else's turf, and they can't really make a big fuss.

The problem is, even in someone else's Dream World, Xiao Bai's power shouldn't be suppressed to this extent.

That's right, the problem Xiao Bai is facing now is that he can't use too much power.

Let alone using magic to find Xilisi, even flying a little higher with magic could very likely shatter the Dream World.

That's why she walked through this woodland like an ordinary person.

Together with Youyou.

"Hmm... this child's Dream World is more chaotic than I imagined," Youyou said softly.

Xiao Bai asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"

"If you frequently dream, you should know very well that a normal dream is complete. It constructs its own Dream World with the dreamer's consciousness as the core."

"This Dream World has only one dream master, and all changes in the Dream World will revolve around this master."

"Whether it's the transition between scenes or the changes between different settings, they all remain true to the core of the dream."

Youyou spoke, she looked up at the sky and said, "But now... this child's dream has been divided into countless parts, and in each of these dreams... her own essence exists within them."

The viewpoint shifted upwards as Youyou looked up.

The forest where Xiao Bai lives is not the only one in this world.

Looking up at the sky, the huge but somewhat dilapidated city hangs upside down in the air.

Between the sky and the ground, on the side of the Dream World, there are floating islands and other buildings.

Among these, there were even traces of the Aurora Society's laboratory.

In a normal Dream World, whether it's the woodlands on the ground, the cities in the sky, or the various landscapes in the layers, they can all be considered as one entity.

They change as the dreamer's consciousness changes; if one part changes, another part will also change.

But now, all these landscapes, though distinct in style, are essentially independent, and within each of these scenes, there is a 'Xilisi'.

This is a sign that Xilisi's consciousness is breaking down.

"... So... we need to gather all these Xilisi together in order for her consciousness to be restored?"

Xiao Bai asked.

Youyou nodded. "Yes, and you need to be quick, otherwise..."

Youyou finger pointed to the edge of the dream, where a black aura was devouring Xilisi's dream— Erosive Power.

Once the Erosive Power completely engulfs the Dream World, there will be no possibility for Xilisi to return to her original state.

"It seems we need to find Xilisi quickly."

Xiao Bai spoke softly, then turned to look for Xilisi in the woods.

But as soon as she turned around, someone grabbed the hem of her dress.

Turning around instantly, Xiao Bai saw a little girl with wheat-colored skin wearing a Western-style dress.

The little girl was only about waist-high to Xiaobai, and she was holding onto the hem of Xiao Bai's trench coat, tilting her head and looking at Xiao Bai timidly.

Xiao Bai recognized her at a glance; it was Xilisi when she was little!

But what truly surprised Xiao Bai was not Xilisi's current form, but what Xilis was saying to her:

"Where are you going? Will you come with me?"

Two words were censored, but judging from the little girl's attitude, she was probably calling Xiao Bai by her name, or using another name to refer to Xiao Bai.

But that's not what's truly surprising.

It was Xiao Bai's expression that was the focus.

Upon hearing the address from Little Xilisi, Xiao Bai's expression instantly turned to one of utter shock. Then, her body emitted a white light, as if her appearance had transformed.

It was precisely as this white light filled the screen that the scene shifted, bringing the view to Aurora's side.

(What did Xilisi say?)

(Why is it muted?)

(Judging from Xiao Bai's expression, could it be that Xilisi revealed her real name??)

(If that's the case, how does Xilisi know Xiao Bai's name?)

(I don't know!)

(It might not be calling a name...)

(If it's not calling someone's name, what could it be??)

"... She's calling 'brother'."

Song Niandong spoke in a very soft voice, her gaze towards the still-sleeping Xilisi becoming more wary.

Fortunately, Xiao Qiu and the others weren't paying attention to this, otherwise they would definitely have guessed something.

Xiao Chun, who was standing very close to Song Niandong, overheard Dongdong's mutterings.

She glanced at Xilisi, who had been brought back by the others and was resting on the sofa, then looked at Xiao Qiu, and then at Dongdong, a teasing smile on her face.

Previously, when Xiao Chun was worried that Aurora would steal Fang Ming away, Dongdong not only didn't help, but also took the opportunity to try and win over Xiao Bai.

Now, another strong contender for Fang Ming's "sister position" has arrived. Xiao Chun wants to see what Song Niandong will do.

No matter how many sisters Fang Ming has, they pose no threat to her.

But Song Niandong's status as the 'only younger sister' will probably disappear.

And it seems that Xilisi is also an orphan? Perhaps she will be adopted by Brother Fang Ming... Xiao Chun couldn't help but smile at the thought that Song Niandong would also fall into similar troubles as herself.

The story unfolding on the Sky Screen is taking a serious and sorrowful turn, but the Magical Girls Sky Screen seem to be in a much more relaxed mood.

Regardless of what became of Xilisi on the Sky Screen, at least Xilisi below the Sky Screen had been rescued and was lying safely before them.

"Does Xilisi know that guy's real name?" Chen Xiaoxia stroked her chin, looking at Xilisi lying on the bed, seemingly having come up with an idea.

Aurora frowned.

Although she seems to have a similar personality to Chen Xiaoxia, she is actually a bit smarter than that blue idiot in this situation.

She looked up at the Sky Screen, then down at the peacefully sleeping Xilisi, and asked in confusion:

"Logically, Xilisi should only know the name 'Yuan Bai.' If it were just 'Yuan Bai,' it shouldn't have been censored, and besides..."

Aurora squinted, her small body seemingly radiating wisdom. She stroked Xilisi's long black hair on the sofa and whispered:

"Xilisi shouldn't be an impolite child. Even if she calls Xiao Bai, she should call her 'older sister' or... um?"

As Aurora thought about this, she seemed to realize something in a daze.

But at that moment, Xiao Chun suddenly cried out:

"Ahhh! Look... isn't that Xilisi before she was modified?!"

"!"

Xiao Chun's voice suddenly rose several octaves, startling everyone and snapping back the inspiration that had just flashed through Aurora.

Aurora glared at Xiao Chun with displeasure.

Xiao Chun gently tapped her head, making an apologetic gesture, which calmed Aurora's anger.

Aurora stopped thinking about it and looked up at the sky.

In the Sky Screen, the mature form of Xilisi appeared before Aurora.

"Siri... S...?"

On the very edge of the city, in a slum near the wilderness, Aurora stared blankly at Xilisi was scavenging for trash among the ruins.

While collecting bottles, Xilisi was startled when she heard someone call her name, but when she looked up and saw Aurora, her expression turned to joy.

"Sister Aurora!"

"Huh?"

Xilisi called out her name, causing Aurora's body to freeze in place.

She looked at Xilisi in surprise, but before she could speak, Xilisi, who was only a head taller than her, ran over and hugged her.

"Sister Aurora, it's been a long time!"

"Wait... you... you know me?"

Aurora pushed Xilisi away and asked in surprise.
