Chapter 314

But what became of the corrupted Magical Girls in the end? Youyou didn't say.

The Magical Creatures seemed unaware that there was no historical record of this.

Kelly gave everyone time to process what she had said, and then continued:

"... because there were predecessors who had entered the Erosion Form and then broke free from the Demonization."

"So that Magical Girls decided to pursue the Erosion Form."

"As long as I defeat the enemy with my companions, I can deal with the Erosion Form on my body after everything is over..." That's what she thought at the time.

"But things went from bad to worse."

"She... did indeed enter the Erosion Form, but she didn't Demonization. Instead, with the help of some mysterious power, she entered another special form... and that is... the Witch!"

"The mysterious power refers to...?"

Xiao Bai asked Kelly.

Kelly shook her head. "I don't know. A lot of the relevant records are missing. All we know is that after that, that Magical Girls became Witch... and then... and then there are no more records."

There was a brief silence.

Xiao Qiu leaned closer and asked Kelly:

"Are Witch... the enemies of Magical Girls?"

"Well..." Kelly hesitated, then gently shook her head. "Not really, but I can't really call myself friends with Magical Girls either. The reason is... it's because every time Witch arrives, it means Demon Army is about to arrive!"

"!!"

The magical girls don't quite understand what Witch Magical Girls is yet, but they do understand the meaning of the phrase "The Demon Army is about to arrive!"

Aurora stared blankly at the sky, murmuring:

"So, Stella's appearance means... the Demons will soon arrive in this world?"

"'Each time'... are there many more after the Witch?"

Compared to the Demon Army, Xiao Bai was more concerned with the meaning behind Kelly's words.

What does "every time the Witch appears" mean?

Kelly had previously stated that, throughout history, only the fourth generation of Magical Girls had an accident that created the species of Witch; apart from that, no Witch have ever appeared again.

That word 'each time' is quite intriguing.

This means that Magical Girls have evolved through generations, but Witch have survived from the fourth generation onwards to the present day?

Xiao Bai stared at Kelly, waiting for her answer.

Kelly nodded slightly and explained, "Yes, 'every time'... that Magical Girls who became Witch, her life is almost like that of Demons, it's a conceptual thing, even if she dies, she will quickly be resurrected."

"So far, she has appeared six times, and each time she appears, the Magical Girls will inevitably have a great battle with the Demons!"

"The most recent one... was the battle that wiped out the Magical Girls."

"So you think Stella is Witch who will bring disaster?" Xiao Bai continued to ask.

Kelly remained silent for a long time, then said softly, "I don't know."

"?"

"... I really don't know, because I've never met Witch face-to-face, and I don't even know how Stella became Witch."

Kelly is indeed the oldest of the Magical Creatures, and knows a great deal that Youyou and the others don't.

But no matter what, Kelly is just a modern Magical Creatures. There are no records of ancient events that have been passed down. No matter how knowledgeable Kelly is, she couldn't possibly know what happened back then.

All she knew was that Witch represented disaster and war.

If it weren't for the Witch occasionally helping the Magical Girls, she would probably have been regarded as their enemy long ago.

It's understandable that Kelly would be wary of Stella, the Witch.

The discussion about Witch ended there for the time being.

Because now is not the time for discussion.

And the Sky Screen is still going on. If you want to know whether the Witch is friend or foe to the Magical Girls, then keep watching.

The movie's ending will definitely reveal the truth behind all of this.

So everyone stopped talking and looked up at the Sky Screen again.

But somewhere no one was paying attention, a crow flew in from afar and landed near the surveillance camera not far from the Magical Girls.

It stared at the Magical Girls and blinked.

A flash of brown light appeared briefly in his black pupils.

Xiao Qiu and the others didn't get back until very late.

No, it should be said that they returned very 'early', arriving home around 3 a. m.

After fighting two Demons in the first half of the night, the second half of the night was peaceful, with no Demons or unusual occurrences.

After confirming that nothing would go wrong that night, the Magical Girls headed back to Fang Ming's house.

Upon returning to Fang Ming's house, the Magical Girls witnessed a scene that surprised them.

Xiao Bai, the Magical Girls who usually lectures them with a cold indifference, like a senior.

At this moment, she was lying on the sofa, fast asleep, completely unsuspecting.

She lay on her side on the sofa, her body slightly curled up, her expression calm, even showing a slight smile, as if she were having a wonderful dream.

Fang Ming was sitting on her other side reading a book. Seeing everyone return, he considerately gestured for them to be quiet and said softly:

"Shh, keep your voice down, don't wake her."

"Xiao Bai, what is this...?" Xiao Qiu looked at Xiao Bai lying on the sofa in surprise.

Having known Xiao Bai for so long, this was the first time Xiao Qiu had ever seen her sleep so unguarded and completely at ease.

No, it should be said that this was the first time she had ever seen Xiao Bai resting and sleeping!

It seems that no matter when I see Xiao Bai, she is always doing something important or on her way to doing something.

Even if she personally entered the dream for Song Niandong's sake, it didn't count as sleeping, because she was still fighting in the dream.

This was the first time anyone had ever seen someone sleeping so soundly.

"... She's probably just been too tired lately, and her Erosive Power isn't very stable either, so she couldn't hold on any longer and went to sleep."

Fang Ming explained softly.

The Magical Girls were shocked by this, and Xiao Qiu asked in disbelief, "... The Erosive Power...? Didn't Xiao Bai's Erosive Power already..."

"She had him under her control? That's what she said, but... that's clearly not the case now."

Fang Ming shook his head and continued, "Back in the Americas District, I sensed something was off about her, and Aurora should understand that too."

Hearing Fang Ming's words, Aurora nodded slightly and whispered:

"... She's strong, right? At least that's how it seems to you, but on our side, she was at a disadvantage against enemies she should have easily defeated."

"Tsk, why is this guy being so stubborn? Doesn't he know to ask us for help? What an awkward guy."

Chen Xiaoxia said, seemingly dissatisfied.

But actually, after overhearing Fang Ming and Aurora's conversation, she was also very worried about Xiao Bai.

After all, they are now companions.

"... Brother Fang Ming, how do you know so much?"

While everyone was concerned about Xiao Bai, Xiao Chun raised a question to Fang Ming.

She frowned slightly as she looked at Fang Ming, her green eyes holding a hint of scrutiny.

Fang Ming's smile remained unchanged as he explained, "Because Xiao Bai and I went to the Americas District together. I spent two months with her, so naturally I know about her situation."

"Huh? Is that so?" Xiao Qiu asked in surprise, "But Xiao Bai always avoided Brother Fang Ming back then..."

"Yes, but I found her, so... there's no way I can let her get away."

Fang Ming said earnestly.

He turned to look at the still-sleeping Xiao Bai, stared at her for a long while, and then said to the Magical Girls:

"It's late, you should go and get some rest."

Although the Magical Girls' bodies have evolved, they can remain energetic and vigorous even after several days without rest.

But having just gone through a battle, they definitely needed a few hours of rest.

Xiao Qiu and the others readily agreed and returned to their respective rooms.

Only Song Niandong looked around and suddenly asked:

"... Brother, where's Youyou?"

Youyou had been left behind by Xiao Bai earlier, but when Dongdong returned this time, he didn't see Youyou.

"Youyou... I've asked her to do some things, so you probably won't be seeing her for the next few days."

"Hmm..."

"Can't sleep without Youyou? Then... how about letting Xiao Bai keep you company?"

"?" Song Niandong was taken aback, a question mark popping up above her head again. She looked at Fang Ming, then at the lying Xiao Bai, her face full of confusion.

After hesitating for a long time, just as Dongdong was about to ask, Fang Ming's hand was already on her head, gently stroking it:

"Sweetie, go and rest first. We can talk about it tomorrow."

"... good."

The question she was about to ask was cut off by Fang Ming's gentle caress.

Dongdong nodded in final agreement, then watched Fang Ming picked up Xiao Bai and carried it to her room.

Fang Ming then left, Dongdong entered the room.

Nothing more was said that night.

The next morning, or rather, three hours later, at 6:30 a. m., Xiao Qiu got out of bed as usual.

She was going for a morning run and would also do some patrolling along the way.

After changing into her workout clothes and leaving the room, Xiao Qiu was about to go out when she found Xiao Bai sitting on the sofa in the apartment, staring blankly at the TV in front of her.

She was wearing a simple black nightgown, and her silver hair was tucked into a nightcap.

Hearing Xiao Qiu's noise, she turned her head to look in Xiao Qiu's direction.

But she didn't say hello.

"... Xiao Bai?"

Xiao Qiu, who wanted to say good morning to Xiao Bai, keenly sensed that something was wrong with Xiao Bai's behavior.

So Xiao Qiu didn't greet her. She frowned and approached Xiao Bai, asking in confusion:

"Xiao Bai, what are you doing sitting here?"

"..."

Xiao Bai didn't answer; she turned her head to look at the television.

The TV was showing a cartoon where animals chased each other and did one illogical thing after another, yet it was very funny.

Xiao Qiu blinked, looking at Xiao Bai who was staring at the screen, and a strange unease welled up in her heart.

She came to Xiao Bai's side and asked softly:

"Xiao Bai? What's wrong?"

"Xiao Bai..."

The silver-haired girl muttered to herself, tilting her head and looking at Xiao Qiu with eyes full of confusion:

"... Are you calling me?"

"!!!?"
