Chapter 264

But... what is it?

Lacking any inspiration, Xiao Bai looked up at the Sky Screen, trying to find answers in the subsequent plot Sky Screen.

Fang Ming planned to rest for a few hours before going to the town, also to give Aurora and Luna time to prepare.

Or perhaps it's giving Luna time to prepare.

Unlike Aurora, who was alone, Luna was a young lady from a wealthy family with many servants and her father. It was fine for her to go out for a short time, but if she went out for a long time, her somewhat doting father would probably be anxiously searching for her everywhere.

Therefore, Luna needs some time to prepare.

After all, judging from the information Meng Chen sent about the town, something seemed off about it; it might be infested with strange people.

The Magical Girls will need quite some time to resolve this and find the Aurora Society hidden within the town.

This is not a problem that can be solved in a day.

Therefore, informing others of your departure time in advance can avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble.

But... Luna's farewell this time seemed much more serious and solemn.

Because she seems to be... writing her will.

"... Did you... see anything?"

Lien asked Luna, who was writing something, with a complicated expression.

Luna whispered, "... A terrible sight... I saw it... I was lying on the ground."

Luna's Precognition magic is divided into active and passive types.

Active Precognition magic can only Precognition events a few seconds in advance. This is the fundamental reason why Luna, despite not having particularly strong magic power, is so formidable in actual combat.

Passive Precognition magic can Precognition things very, very far in the future.

Images of the future, ranging from a few seconds to several days, ten days, or even months in the future, would appear in Luna's mind.

Unfortunately, there is often only one shot, without any further details.

Upon hearing about the situation in the town, a scene immediately flashed through Luna's mind.

A scene of himself lying on the ground, with Aurora looking at him with a sorrowful expression.

The background of the scene is a building in the town that Luna saw in the video Fang Ming gave her, so she might encounter an accident in this battle.

"Since it's so dangerous, let's not go."

Lien advised Luna.

Luna simply shook her head. "We can't leave Little Red... alone... Besides, there's Mr. Fang Ming too..."

She spoke softly, recalling the day Fang Ming saved her. "Mr. Fang Ming... saved me, and I... want to protect him too..."

"..."

"Moreover, this is Magical Girls's... mission."

Luna said softly.

Destroying monsters, eliminating Demons, and their negative influences is precisely what Magical Girls should do.

She will not back down, much less back down once she has already decided to go.

"All right..."

Seeing that she couldn't persuade her, Lien stopped trying to talk her out of it.

She simply said to Luna apologetically:

"I'm sorry for making you Magical Girls..."

If Luna weren't Magical Girls, she wouldn't have had to risk dealing with strange people, Lien thought. Perhaps it would have been better for Luna if she had just died back then.

Luna simply shook her head and said nothing.

She's already a Magical Girls and has experienced so many battles; there's no point in saying anything more now.

Instead, you should seriously consider what to do after you get to the small town.

Although she has seen her 'future', it doesn't mean Luna has to accept it.

After all, the 'future' can be changed.

"Call--"

Aurora was adjusting her breathing.

Although she longed to sleep and rest, Aurora found it somewhat difficult to fall asleep given the prospect of an impending major battle.

Since I can't sleep, I won't sleep.

Anyway, with the physical abilities of Magical Girls, it wouldn't matter if she didn't rest for a few days, so she might as well take this opportunity to adjust her physical condition.

Fang Ming had taught Aurora some Eastern breathing techniques. For Aurora, using these breathing methods to adjust her breathing was more relaxing than simply sleeping.

Volume 3 Side Story <Magical Girl Aurora>: Chapter 290 Preparations Before Heading to the Town

"I don't know why, but I have a bad feeling about it."

Kelly, with a worried expression, spoke to Aurora while Aurora was catching her breath.

"What's this bad feeling?" Aurora asked, puzzled.

Kelly, recalling her memories of Magical Girls, said to Aurora:

"It's not uncommon for strange people to gather together, but... every time this happens, something big is bound to happen. I have a bad feeling about this."

The 'weirdo' Kelly referred to was actually a 'Demons'.

Because Demons generally fight alone, except for Lord-Tier Demon who have their own subordinates, most other Demons appear alone, or at most in groups of two or three.

It's rare to see Demons gathering together.

This situation often indicates that the Magical Girls are about to experience a rather fierce battle.

Although the 'weirdos' and Demons in this world are different, based on Kelly's experience, she felt that this trip to the town probably wouldn't be anything good.

"So what? Are you planning to let me run away?"

Aurora asked Kelly.

"..."

Kelly did not answer.

Given the current situation, if the danger in the town truly exceeds Aurora's ability to handle it, Kelly will definitely choose to let Aurora escape.

After all, Aurora now carries the future of Magical Girls within her.

But Kelly also knew that it was absolutely impossible to make Aurora back down.

Aurora has never been afraid of fighting, nor has she ever run away from it, let alone back down without even fighting.

This isn't her style.

So in the end Kelly simply said to Aurora, "... It's nothing, I just wanted to remind you to be careful."

"Don't worry, I'll be very careful, at least..." Aurora's gaze shifted to the bedside table, where a photo of her and Xilisi lay. Her voice turned colder. "—At least until we find the culprit who turned Xilisi into this, I will be extremely, extremely... extremely careful."

(This is episode eight, not episode ten, right?)

(It feels like a final battle is about to begin...?)

(Hmm, it should be about that soon. We're already more than halfway through episode eight. Once we get to the town, find the Aurora Society, and then the final battle... it should be about twelve episodes' worth of content.)

(Where's Xiao Bai? What happened to Xiao Bai??)

(I'm not sure, I'm a little worried...)

(I wonder if Xiao Qiu and the others will come.)

(Probably not, after all, this is a spin-off, it's Aurora's home turf.)

The scene in the Sky Screen became very tense, as if a final battle was about to take place.

Even the Magical Girls below the Sky Screen couldn't help but tense up.

While Sky Screen Aurora Sky Screen were preparing, Xiao Bai got up and left to return to his room, using Luna Federation privileges to search for information about the town of Sky Screen.

Soon, Xiao Bai learned the specific details of the town.

The town is called White Forest Town, located in the southernmost part of C City in the Americas District, near a large area of mountains and forests.

The town has a small population, with a total population of only about two thousand. Although the town is small and the population is small, the facilities inside are very complete.

Schools, hospitals, police stations, and fire stations all have these facilities; they only need to purchase a small amount of daily necessities each year to be completely self-sufficient.

Because the town itself can meet the daily needs of its residents, most of the townspeople have hardly ever left the town. Moreover, the residents are quite xenophobic. A reporter once tried to go in for an interview but was beaten out, and his camera was almost smashed.

Another crucial point is that there is a church in the town... but it is not the mainstream Protestantism, but another unknown sect.

"... broken."

After seeing the information about the town, Xiao Bai muttered to himself, "... There's a cult here. Could it be the Aurora Society?"

"Oh no, cough cough... it's a cult..."

In the Sky Screen, Fang Ming, having finished investigating the town's information, coughed and sighed.

He sipped his tea while flipping through news articles from the town, his brow furrowed deeply.

If it's just a simple case of being eccentric, then it's not a big problem.

The key lies in the town's own church, a church established in the name of 'God' but which contradicts the doctrines of Catholicism and Protestantism.

Although there are numerous religious sects in the Americas District today, each claiming to believe in God and to be orthodox, in reality, there are only two truly orthodox sects.

Any other church is just a cult that has grown in a small place.

But because these cults were quiet and friendly before they caused any trouble, no one bothered with them.

However, if these cults actually cause any trouble, it will definitely be a big deal!

The Aurora Society chose this town as the experimental site might be because the town itself is very superstitious, making it more receptive to them, and encouraging them to actively apply to be experimental subjects.

The problem lies here: if the townspeople actually voluntarily accepted the experiment and became monsters, then there might still be some ordinary people who didn't turn into monsters surviving.

And these people will definitely try to stop the Magical Girls from doing things because of their 'master'.

Aurora and her friends can fight monsters without hesitation, but can they really bring themselves to do the same to ordinary people?

"What do we do now?"

Sitting at the computer, Youyou turned to Fang Ming after reviewing the information about the town and asked him a question.

Fang Ming placed his hands on the table with his fingers interlaced, his eyes slightly narrowed as he pondered.

He asked Youyou:

Is Nicole still there?

"She's still here. Dongdong has handed over control of Nicole to me, but since Dongdong isn't here, Nicole's strength will probably be slightly weakened."

The strength of Song Niandong's 'friends' will be affected by Song Niandong's magic.

Within a certain range of Song Niandong, the friends summoned by Song Niandong can unleash their full power because they have Magic Link with Song Niandong. Even if something unexpected happens, Song Niandong can use magic to repair it, which is a true recall.

But now, Nicole is in the Americas District and Song Niandong is in the Central Continent District, which has exceeded the range of their magical connection.

Therefore, Nicole's magic power supply is handled by Youyou, so her strength will be somewhat lower.

Is it at the Middle Rank level?

"Almost?"

"That's enough... cough cough."

Fang Ming let out a breath.

Currently, none of the enemies in the Americas District are stronger than Middle Rank, and none are even as strong as the last time the Songstress Demon was.

A Nicole with Middle Rank power is enough to crush everything.

Besides, if it really doesn't work out...

Fang Ming's eyes flickered with uncertainty as his gaze inadvertently drifted to his hands.
