Chapter 297

Xiao Bai pondered.

Kelly's idea was simple: wait until the Sky Screen revealed all the future Magical Girls, then they would interact with these girls, imbue them with Emotional Force, and thus strengthen the ranks of Magical Girls.

But things are different now. Xiao Bai doesn't dare to gamble on whether they will find the future Magical Girls first, or whether some people with ulterior motives will find Magical Girls first.

How long has it been since what happened to Xilisi?

What if those Magical Girls, due to various accidents, turned into another Xilisi?

Therefore, the search for Magical Girls should be done as soon as possible.

But since they can't use the methods shown on the Sky Screen to make the Emotional Force automatically choose Magical Girls, how are they supposed to find the true identities of these Magical Girls?

"Hmm... how about we modify the Magic Network?"

Youyou suddenly made a suggestion.

Xiao Bai looked at him in confusion. "What do you mean?"

"Aren't you planning to make the Magic Network cover the entire globe? So I was thinking of adding something to these Magic Network that can temporarily activate the Emotion Seed in order to find new Magical Girls."

"But that only activates the Emotion Seed ..." Kelly offered a different opinion. "The Emotional Force in the phone needs to be compatible with the Emotion Seed before it can turn a person into Magical Girls."

"If we tell these girls that they have the potential to become Magical Girls, but they can't become Magical Girls because they can't match their Emotional Force, wouldn't that be a bit too... too cruel?"

"But is there any other way?"

Youyou's words silenced both Xiao Bai and Kelly.

After a while, Xiao Bai said:

"Then let's not tell them."

"!"

"After the Magic Network is established, it will conduct examinations on eligible teenagers and young people worldwide under the guise of 'physical examinations,' recording the names of qualified girls during the process, and then screening them one by one."

"Tell them the truth after you've confirmed they can become Magical Girls."

Xiao Bai quickly came up with a new solution.

Youyou blinked, then suddenly asked, "Um... does everyone need to be checked? Including the boys?"

Xiao Bai looked at her expressionlessly, silently pointed to himself, then to the back of his hand, and then opened his palm.

Youyou: "... Okay, it's time to check it out."

After all, it's not entirely impossible for boys to become Magical Girls these days.

Volume 4 <Magic Autumn> Theatrical Edition and Season 3: Chapter 325 The Promise with Aurora

The night after the first season of the spin-off ended.

The Sky Screen did not light up.

This made everyone realize that they might have to wait a long time to see the new season.

However, since everyone was already prepared, they weren't too disappointed and proceeded with the plan step by step.

The first thing to do is to expand the Magic Network globally.

This was no small project; it took Xiao Bai and Youyou several days to cover all twenty-six cities in the Americas District.

However, it's impossible to completely bathe the entire world in magical light in a short time.

Cities on land are relatively easy to deal with, but the trouble lies on the sea.

This world is similar to Earth in Fang Ming's previous life, with oceans covering nearly 70% of the planet's total surface area.

Therefore, the majority of the node network is still located on the ocean.

In order to achieve global network coverage as soon as possible, the Magical Girls split up on the second day. Taking advantage of the fact that everyone was still on winter break and the Aurora Society had not yet caused any trouble, the Magical Girls decided to complete the global network coverage as quickly as possible.

This operation lasted for a whole month.

Nothing unexpected happened during this period; the Aurora Society seemed to have completely disappeared, as if the entire upper echelon had died.

"They'd better be dead."

Inside the former Aurora Society underground base, now the Magical Girls Headquarters, Aurora, resting, curses the Aurora Society.

During this month, Aurora traveled all over the world for the Aurora Society. With her limited magical power to begin with, she was the most exhausted of the Magical Girls.

Furthermore, she discovered the Bear Sis being 'cultivated' in this base, which reminded her of Xilisi, who had been experimented on by the Aurora Society, and thus her hatred for the Aurora Society intensified.

Aurora complained, while Kelly, who appeared beside her as a holographic projection, rested her chin on her hand and said:

"But it must be said that the 'legacy' left by the Aurora Society is still very useful."

"Hmm, that's true..."

Aurora looked around.

This is the lounge of the new headquarters. Originally a silver, metallic style, it has been transformed by the Magical Girls into a whimsical and colorful fairytale style over the past month.

The walls are predominantly light blue, covered with graffiti and drawings left by everyone using their respective representative colors.

In the very center was a large, plush rug, on which sat a cute, round coffee table. Aurora was sitting next to the coffee table, her hands resting on it.

The entire lounge was also divided into several sections.

Xiao Qiu's seat was at the very back, near the corner, where a bunch of different kinds of dolls were placed.

Xiaoxia was positioned next to Xiao Qiu, some distance away, where there were some fitness equipment used for exercise and combat.

Xiao Chun's space is in another corner, decorated with bookshelves and various books, as well as some potted plants placed on the shelves next to it.

Dongdong's seat was very close to Xiao Bai's, and the things placed there were quite varied, including dolls, a computer, and a game console. At that moment, Song Niandong was sitting next to the game console, playing games with Youyou.

Next is Aurora's spot, near the entrance, where there's simply a beanbag chair and a punching bag standing upright.

Luna's position was opposite Aurora's. In her small space, there were rows of gun racks and all kinds of the latest models of firearms brought from her own factory.

Amidst these firearms, in a tiny, insignificant space, stood a vertical bookshelf, on which were scattered a few books—all Fang Ming's books.

By the way, Luna's guns aren't models, they're real guns!

For her, living with a gun was the only way she could feel safe.

Between Luna and Aurora, near the door, Xilisi was sitting there fiddling with some machines.

These machines were all strange and unusual little gadgets, which is why Aurora bought them for Celis because she saw that Xilisi liked them.

Incidentally, Aurora has now officially joined the Magical Girl Alliance, and under her authorization, figurines, merchandise, cereals... these things bring Aurora a considerable income every month.

With this income, Aurora not only paid off her previous debt to Fang Ming, but also had a considerable amount of savings.

The days when being a thug was the only way to make money are gone forever.

As for the last area, which belongs to Xiao Bai...

Aurora looked towards the back of the lounge.

Xiao Bai's area is very simple, consisting of a simple sofa, a computer for monitoring the outside world, and some blankets and cushions.

There was nothing else.

Even Xiao Bai isn't here.

"By the way, where's Xiao Bai?"

Seeing this, Aurora remembered to ask about Xiao Bai's whereabouts.

Kelly, who was beside her, connected to the base's network, and two seconds later, she said to Aurora:

"It's with Bear Sis."

Xiao Bai sat on the high platform in front of Bear Sis's large culture tank.

Because the lab bench was some distance from the ground, Xiao Bai's feet were still dangling outside. She dangled her feet like that, staring at the Bear Sis in front of her.

Bear Sis did not appear in the first season of Sky Screen.

Xiao Bai reasonably suspects that this guy might appear as the boss of the second season of the spin-off, or perhaps as some kind of elite-level boss.

If that's the case, it means that Bear Sis probably has a lot of potential.

Even taller than Xilisi.

That's why Xiao Bai was staring at Bear Sis; she wanted to see when Bear Sis would wake up.

But... so far, there is no sign that Bear Sis has woken up.

"Uncle! You're still watching!"

Click--

The automatic doors to the lab slid open, and Aurora barged in, calling out to Xiao Bai inside.

Xiao Bai sighed helplessly and turned to Aurora, saying:

"... I'm not your uncle anymore."

"Ah... sorry, I forgot!"

Aurora offered a very insincere apology, then went to Xiao Bai's side and complained:

"But I'm not saying this to be mean, but now it seems pointless to keep your identity a secret, right? After all, most people who need to know already know."

Now, half of the Magical Girls know Fang Ming's identity, and among the remaining half, Lien has probably guessed something as well.

From this perspective, it seems that Fang Ming has no reason to continue hiding the truth.

But it's still the same reason... If Fang Ming had decisively become a suicide bomber after the first season ended, everything would have been fine.

The problem is... in the second season of the main series and the first season of the spin-off... Fang Ming has used her female identity to gain benefits and convenience for herself quite a bit.

If you were to say now that Xiao Bai and Fang Ming are the same person, Fang Ming would truly die peacefully on the spot.

"... Now is not the time."

Xiao Bai looked away, then changed the subject, asking, "Are Xiao Qiu and the others back?"

Kelly's phantom suddenly appeared beside them and answered their questions:

"Xiao Qiu just finished setting up the final nodes on the sea, and Xiaoxia is with her. As for Xiao Chun... well, it seems she went to the mall."

"Shopping mall?"

"Yeah, she probably went to buy a gift. After all, the Confession Day is in a few days."

Kelly counted the days and said to Xiao Bai.

Xiao Bai then suddenly realized that there wasn't much time left until the Federation's Confession Day.

The reason Aurora and the others went to the Sky Screen earlier was to prepare for their Confession Day.

However, due to Xilisi's death, Aurora on the Sky Screen was depressed during that time and even forgot about the Confession Day.

But now, under the Sky Screen, the world is peaceful and serene; no one is injured, and no one has died.

The 'Global Coverage Magic Network' project is nearing completion, and with plenty of free time before the next group training begins, everyone naturally needs to prepare for the annual Confession Day.

But... Xiao Chun went shopping at the mall alone?

She probably wouldn't buy anything weird or strange, right...?

Xiao Bai was slightly worried about this.

After all, it seems like Xiao Chun has gone a bit astray these days.

"Ah... Confession Day..."

Aurora also remembered this holiday. She glanced at Xiao Bai stealthily, then coughed lightly and said to Xiao Bai in a nonchalant manner:

"... Will you have time on Confession Day?"

"There should be. Is there something wrong?"
