Chapter 268
Xiao Bai nodded.
Once the Hope Magic Array in the Americas District is fully formed, Youyou will be able to use Nicole to lead everyone freely through everyone's dreams.
That's Xiao Bai's real purpose.
Because everyone, regardless of who they are, dreams.
Even animals like cats and dogs dream.
The high-ranking members of the Aurora Society will inevitably be implicated as well.
Therefore, if we could connect the dreams of people in the Americas District, we might be able to find the higher-ups of the Aurora Society.
You guys are really good at hiding your true feelings in real life, there's just no way to change that.
But how long can you hide in dreams?
Even if they considered this and could use various technological means to ensure they weren't dreaming, their subordinates and those connected to them couldn't guarantee that.
Finding clues in the dream will speed up Xiao Bai and her friends' search for the higher-ups of the Aurora Society.
Once the magic circle is fully formed, those rats from the Aurora Society will have nowhere to hide in front of the Magical Girls!
"Oh, Xiao Qiu and Xiaoxia are pretty fast."
After Xiao Bai finished her task, Xiao Qiu and Xiaoxia also finished their respective jobs.
Xiao Bai flew into the sky, and under the rising sun, Xiao Bai saw all the magic circle nodes in the Americas District.
These magic circle nodes shone brightly in her eyes; once the last central node was completed, the large magic circle covering the Americas District would be activated.
All the nodes will be interconnected, completely covering a portion of the Americas District and surrounding areas.
By that time--
Boom!!!
Just as Xiao Bai thought of this, from her perspective, a black energy beam suddenly shot into the sky from the central node!
Within that pillar of light... Xiao Bai sensed the aura of Demons!
The Aurora Society is finally back in action!

Volume 3 Side Story <Magical Girl Aurora>: Apology Letter (Not a letter announcing a hiatus, just a simple summary and response)
I'm sorry, my performance was lackluster.
I should have posted this separate chapter sooner, then done some self-reflection, deeply realized my mistakes, and sincerely apologized to all my readers. I'm so sorry to my readers...
Perhaps this will satisfy you all a little?
In addition, I have read some of your discussions. I will not comment on the content of the discussions, but I would like to state two points first.
First, I don't consider myself a great author, so I don't have fans like "filial sons" or "crystallization fans." Using these terms to refer to another reader who is reading the book with you is impolite and disrespectful.
Secondly, anyone who has read the entire post will easily notice that some readers who are referred to as "filial sons" have also expressed rather sharp opinions about me and the novel's content in certain chapters... Therefore, they can only be considered readers whose opinions differ from yours, and cannot be called "filial sons."
And I need to reiterate that using such terms is an insult to the reader, and I do not condone anyone using such terms to refer to other readers of this book.
Finally, I want to point out that writing a book is not easy, especially a long one, which requires updating 10,000 words every day, making it even more difficult.
During this process, there will inevitably be unreasonable, incomprehensible, or even unacceptable plot points, and that's where the guidance and help of you, dear readers, will be needed.
I am grateful to all the readers who dared to offer their opinions, including the initial plot points where Xiao Bai deceived Xiao Chun and Xiaoxia revealed herself. It was thanks to you readers that I was able to make timely revisions.
But I still hope that you can read the book with a calm mind. We are all equal. In fact, as the author, I am inferior to you all because you are my bread and butter.
I don't want everyone to argue or become hostile because of this. I hope everyone can read the book peacefully and discuss the plot rationally.
If there are any parts that are truly unacceptable to you, you can skip them... Actually, I wanted to say that you can also abandon the book, but as someone who makes a living from this profession, I really can't bring myself to say that.
(╥_╥)
Finally... the reason I don't appear in the comments section is because I know that my presence there will only escalate the arguments, so I avoid commenting on controversial topics.
... After all, I said it once before, and a lot of people downvoted... I'm a little sad.
I read the comments section late at night and couldn't sleep, so I wrote this apology letter.
Finally, I'd like to reiterate: if you have any complaints, you are welcome to attack me personally as long as it doesn't involve my family, but I hope you will refrain from arguing with other readers using insulting language.
I believe that people who like Magical Girls are not inherently bad; their hearts are surely filled with light and hope.
I also believe that a momentary slip of the tongue is definitely not your true thought, just as I sometimes do irrational things.
Well, it's late now... I'd like to say more, but I'm just too tired, so I'm going to sleep now.
As an apology, I'm planning to add an extra chapter tomorrow... oh no, today at 6 PM. Shouldn't that serve as a token of my apology?
So... love you all~goodnight~
(*??*)...:*?
Volume 3 Side Story <Magical Girl Aurora>: Chapter 294 The Aging Demon
"... Such dense magic power... This magic power... is it from Mid-Tier Demon?"
Perched on Xiao Bai's shoulder, Youyou gazed at the pillar of magical light, clearly visible even from tens of thousands of meters in the sky, and exclaimed in surprise.
Judging from the intensity of the magic in this pillar of light, the Demons born today is at least a Middle Rank- level Demons!
Did the Aurora Society actually have this hidden trump card?
But why did they choose to erupt at this time?
It's almost there, just a little short, before the 'Hope Magic Array' is fully formed and covers everything...
"Wait a minute..." Youyou suddenly realized something. "Could they possibly be able to observe the Magic Network above Americas City?!"
Because the reason for Youyou's failure was shown on the Sky Screen, when Xiao Bai and Youyou set up the Magic Node, they actually set them up at a high altitude that was difficult for humans to reach.
To destroy a node, one needs to stay near the Magic Node for a long time. Even if the Aurora Society can detect the node's existence, they can be captured by the city's ubiquitous surveillance cameras as long as they are high in the sky.
At that time, Xiao Bai will arrive as quickly as possible.
Furthermore, Magic Node are not so easy to destroy. Even if Aurora Society the strength of Mid-Tier Demon, it would be difficult for him to destroy these nodes without having knowledge of magic.
The Magic Node are located high in the sky, and their existence is almost imperceptible before they are activated.
Youyou originally thought that even if the Aurora Society were to make a discovery, it would only be possible after all the Magic Node were set up and the Magic Network was fully formed and covered the entire Americas District.
But now, only one Magic Node is missing. The central node, which is the last one to be set up and can connect all the nodes, is showing magic fluctuations comparable to those of Mid-Tier Demon.
Youyou would never believe it was a coincidence!
"Hmph, it seems the Aurora Society indeed hiding some trump cards, but it's alright, I'm more worried they won't reveal them."
Xiao Bai snorted coldly.
If the Aurora Society doesn't emerge now, they may never have another chance to appear once the magical network covering the entire Americas District is complete.
And if the Aurora Society appears before then... that would be even better!
Xiao Bai is still worried about how to find them, but now that they've come out on their own, isn't that a perfect way to fulfill Xiao Bai's wishes?
Without further hesitation, Xiao Bai transformed into a silver streak of light and flew towards the source of the energy burst.
Then, two beams of light, one pink and one blue, flew in from another direction.
Several Magical Girls arrived at the location of the energy burst one after another.
And at the very bottom of that pillar of energy, they saw the Mid-Tier Demon unleashing its magic!
However, it was precisely because of the presence of this Mid-Tier Demon that the Magical Girls were all greatly surprised.
"This is... a human?!"
Xiao Qiu exclaimed in surprise.
At the very bottom of that pillar of light, a Demons who looked almost exactly like a human stood indifferently on the open ground of the stadium.
His skin was pale, not the white of a white person, but more like the white of someone covered in white powder.
Moreover, he was very young. Although he appeared to be about 1.8 meters tall, his face looked as innocent as a child's.
Beneath his indifferent expression, however, lay an undisguised joy.
"I... did it...!"
He paid no attention to the Magical Girls in the sky; he simply looked at his hands, stroking his cheeks, his voice filled with an irrepressible urge.
Once he realized his face was completely smooth, he could no longer maintain his indifferent expression, and he grinned wildly.
"Hahaha!! I did it!!!!"
"What are you babbling about! Take this!!!"
Chen Xiaoxia launched the first attack.
She didn't care who this guy was or whether he was human or not. Since he was here and his body was filled with the magical power that only Demons possessed, then he was Demons!
Since he's Demons, he should be killed!
That's what Chen Xiaoxia thought, and her body moved accordingly.
The greatsword crashed down from the sky, and Chen Xiaoxia, with the momentum of wanting to cleave the Demons in front of her in two, slammed it down hard on the man's head!
Hearing the wind rushing past his ears and seeing Chen Xiaoxia's fierce attack, a sharp glint flashed in the humanoid Demons's eyes. Facing Chen Xiaoxia's attack, he didn't dare to fight head-on and instantly dodged away from his spot, but at the same time, he raised his hand and pointed at Chen Xiaoxia.
Black rays burst forth from her fingertips, the jet-black magical rays flying straight toward Chen Xiaoxia like lasers from an energy gun.
Chen Xiaoxia's greatsword had just hit the ground when the attack came at the same time.
Chen Xiaoxia's eyes narrowed, and she lowered her body, forcefully lifting the giant sword that was about to smash into the ground and holding it horizontally in front of her.
Bang!!
The laser collided with the giant sword, and Chen Xiaoxia's body was propelled back several meters by the enormous energy.
A long trench was carved into the lawn of the huge stadium. Chen Xiaoxia stood at the end of the trench and shouted to the Demons:
"Ha, is this all you've got?"
No sooner had she shouted than Xiao Qiu's reminder followed:
"Xiaoxia! Your sword!!"
"A sword? Hmm!?"
Chen Xiaoxia flipped the longsword over and looked at the spot where she had caught the laser beam; her pupils contracted slightly.
At the point where the longsword collided with the black energy laser, traces of rust appeared. Chen Xiaoxia's heart sank, and she immediately used magic to try to repair it, but the repair was extremely slow.
It seems that the rust did not appear due to a collision, but rather due to other reasons.
"Be careful! Don't get too close to him!!!" Kelly's voice came from the Xiao Bai phone as she shouted, "He's the 'Aging Demon'!!!!"
"?!"
Kelly's words were serious, and Xiao Bai frowned as well.
"The Aging Demon?"
"Impossible..." Youyou murmured to herself, "How could the Aging Demon be here... No, that's not right, he's not the Aging Demon's true form... He just... just possesses a portion of his power!"
Kelly continued, "But even so, he's not simply a 'Middle Rank'!"
"Explain?"
Xiao Bai succinctly interrupted their conversation.
Unlike the previous Demons like Speed Demon, Fish Monster, and Songstress, Kelly and Youyou clearly recognized this so-called 'Aging' Demons.
"We... we haven't mentioned the existence of Lord-Tier Demon to you yet, have we?"
Kelly quickly said, "The number of Lord-Tier Demon is actually limited. There are sixteen of them in total. Four of them stand at the very top of the Demons and were once the leaders of the Demons race. The other twelve are the pillars of the Demons... and the Aging Demon is one of the twelve Demon Pillar!"
Kelly explained the internal organization of the Demons in simple language.
Aside from the inexplicably appearing Demon King, the Demons were originally divided into four parts, each led by a commander who commanded three Pillar-Tier Demons.
Leaving aside the four commander-level Demons, let's talk about these twelve Pillar-Tier Demon. Each of them stems from humanity's fear of certain concepts.
