Chapter 315
Just that one sentence made Xiao Qiu's hair stand on end, and the hair on her pigtails even bristled.
"Xiao Bai! Are you alright? Do you still recognize me? Do you remember me? It's me, Xiao Qiu!"
Xiao Qiu grabbed Xiao Bai's shoulders and swayed him.
She hoped that Xiao Bai was just joking with her, even if the joke wasn't funny at all, Xiao Qiu still hoped it was just a joke!
Unfortunately, that's a shame.
This is no joke.
"... Who is Xiao Qiu?"
Xiao Bai tilted her head, a blank expression on her face, her ruby-like eyes revealing deep confusion.
She looked at Xiao Qiu and asked again:
"Who are you?"
"!"
In that instant, Xiao Qiu stopped breathing.
She could see it, and she was certain of it, in Xiao Bai's eyes.
Xiao Bai... has lost her memory!
Thanks to 'Fu Hua?' for the spicy snack donation!
Thank you~
Volume 4 <Magic Autumn> Movie and Season 3: Chapter 343 Xiao Bai Once Burned His Memories
(Oh no, Xiao Bai has lost her memory!)
(It must have been Stella who did it!)
(Is this even a guess?)
(Sigh, although I wanted to see Xiao Bai get humiliated, it's actually a bit strange when he does get humiliated out of the blue...)
(But don't you guys think Xiao Bai is cute because he lost his memory?)
(Are you alright? We still don't know what Stella's purpose is, and we don't know if Xiao Bai's amnesia is temporary or permanent.)
(Wouldn't something permanent be better!)
(Tsk, get out!)
"... They actually erased my memories? Mind Magic can even do something like that?"
Xiao Bai was very surprised.
The willpower of the self in the Sky Screen is absolutely strong. Even Xiao Bai in real life wouldn't dare say that their willpower can compare to that of the self in the Sky Screen.
Moreover, although Xiao Bai herself has been corrupted and cannot use much magic power, her total amount of magic power is still what it is.
With her overall strength and willpower, even if Stella possesses the most troublesome Mind Magic, it probably won't be so easy for her to completely hypnotize Xiao Bai.
Not to mention that some of Xiao Bai's memories have now been erased!
Could Stella really do that on her own?
"I... I don't know..." Kelly was also at a loss.
Aurora couldn't help but say, "What exactly is Stella trying to do! Honestly, I'm going to drag her out and get to the bottom of this!"
Aurora was furious and was about to go to the deep lab to drag Stella out of the culture chamber.
Xiao Chun was also speechless, silently taking out her longbow, intending to deliver a thousand arrows to Stella in the incubation chamber.
Xiao Bai wanted to stop it.
Stella's consciousness may have already awakened, but her body definitely needs the incubation tank to maintain physical stability.
That's why she's always immersed in the cultivation tank, and that's why Xiao Bai set up this base as the headquarters for Magical Girls.
Firstly, it is indeed suitable; all kinds of high-tech facilities are readily available here, which is convenient.
Secondly, it would also better protect Stella, preventing the Aurora Society from taking her away or destroying her.
Now Aurora runs down and pulls Stella out. Whether she can wake Stella up or not is another matter, but her body will definitely collapse immediately, without any surprises.
But Xiao Bai hadn't said anything yet.
A gentle voice came from the air:
Please don't do that.
"!!!"
Everyone immediately looked toward the source of the sound.
On a high platform not far away, a black crow was standing.
Its pupils are brown, gleaming with the light of human wisdom.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, the crow continued:
"My body is currently in a critical stage of stabilization; if I were to be taken out now, it would collapse."
The crow's speech was gentle, as was its voice; it didn't sound like a crow at all.
Upon hearing the crow's words, Xiao Bai stepped out from the crowd, met the crow's gaze, and narrowed her eyes slightly:
"You are... Stella?"
"Yes, it's me. I'm so glad to see you all."
The crow stretched out one wing and placed the other wing in front of its chest, making a very human-like bowing gesture.
Then the crow continued:
"I can roughly guess what I'm doing on the Sky Screen, but... if you don't want spoilers, please watch the movie before discussing this."
"Don't worry, just like I said on the Sky Screen, I have no ill intentions towards anyone. I'm just... doing something I have to do."
Stella said softly.
Although her voice was different from Fang Ming's voice in the Sky Screen, the tone and gentleness were almost identical.
Her gentle voice, coupled with her reasonably satisfactory attitude, made the Magical Girls lower their guard a little.
Xiao Bai raised her hand and said to Stella:
"In that case, let's come down and watch together."
She gestured for Stella to rest on her arm.
Stella hesitated for a few seconds, then spread her wings and flew to Xiao Bai's arm.
After landing, she apologized to Xiao Bai again:
"I sincerely apologize again for what I did on the Sky Screen, but... please believe me, nothing I did was malicious."
"Whether it was malicious or not, let's wait until the movie is over before we say anything."
Xiao Bai.
[It seems that Xiao Bai has lost her memory, and this immediately alarmed all the Magical Girls.]
Soon, all the Magical Girls and Fang Ming gathered in the living room.
They looked at Xiao Bai, then at Fang Ming.
The reason everyone is looking at Fang Ming is because at this moment, Xiao Bai, just like an introverted and socially anxious girl, seems to be possessed by Dongdong and Luna, hiding behind Fang Ming and timidly looking at everyone.
"No way..." Chen Xiaoxia looked on incredulously, her eyes wide as she stared at Xiao Bai hiding behind Fang Ming.
"You really don't recognize us?"
"..."
Xiao Bai didn't answer. The Xiao Bai that had been showing half its face hid completely behind Fang Ming after Xiaoxia finished asking the question.
Xiaoxia: "..."
What's going on?
Seeing that Xiao Bai seemed to remember nothing, Fang Ming couldn't help but ask the Magical Girls.
This kind of event, which defies common sense, is still a bit beyond his capabilities as an 'ordinary person'.
"Is it... the Erosive Power?"
Nino made her guesses, then looked around and frowned, asking, "Where did Youyou go? She should know perfectly well what's going on."
"... Youyou has been assigned to do something important."
Dongdong explained.
She sat down next to Fang Ming with her head down, so no one else could see her eyes.
But no one noticed her expression at that moment.
Just when everyone was at a loss, a voice that Xiao Qiu and the others had never heard before rang out:
"... It's probably because of the Erosive Power."
"!?"
"Little K?"
Aurora took out her phone.
Since meeting everyone yesterday, Kelly has barely spoken; she seems to be observing the Magical Girls of the Central Continent District.
Only now has she spoken her first word.
"And who is this??"
Xiao Chun's gaze fell on Aurora's phone.
Although Kelly looks like a digital pet in a phone right now, her lively expressions tell you that she is not an AI, but a being with real intelligence and self-awareness.
"My name is Kelly, and I am this child's contractor. For some reason, I wasn't here before, so I apologize for only meeting you now."
Kelly introduced herself very politely.
Xiao Qiu and the others shook their heads to indicate that it was alright; they were more concerned about Xiao Bai's health.
Xiao Qiu asked Kelly:
"Miss Kelly, do you know what happened to Xiao Bai?"
"I noticed before that this child was deeply Erosive Power corruption. In the previous battle, she was unable to exert her full strength because of this Erosive Power. Now it seems... her Erosive Power has become even more severe."
"But... the Erosive Power shouldn't cause someone to lose their memory, right?"
Nino asked hesitantly.
Kelly suddenly turned her head and said to Nino with a half-smile, "Oh, so you actually know that. Looks like you weren't completely sleeping in class after all."
The pressure emanating from Kelly reminded Nino of the fear of being called on by the teacher to answer a question in class. She immediately lowered her head and said:
"I'm sorry, Ms. Kelly! I was actually just guessing!"
"Nino, you academic slacker!" Chen Xiaoxia cursed mercilessly, then suddenly realized something and looked at Kelly in surprise. "Wait, are you the teacher?"
"Well, I guess I could be considered the teacher of these stupid students. Although Nino isn't much of a student, she's definitely right about this: if it were just simple Erosive Power, she shouldn't have lost her memory..."
Just when everyone was at a loss, Dongdong suddenly raised his hand and whispered:
"I... I might... know something about... Sister Xiao Bai's situation..."
"Um?"
Everyone looked at Dongdong.
Fang Ming nodded to Dongdong, "Just say whatever you know; there are no outsiders here."
"Sister Xiao Bai... she... when she was fighting against the erosion... she once... she once burned her own memories..."
Dongdong hesitated for a moment, but still told everyone about it.
As expected, this incident shocked everyone.
"What?!" Chen Xiaoxia's voice rose several decibels. "Burning memories... what does that mean?!"
