Chapter 331
(Xiao Qiu will stop it, right? Xiao Qiu can stop it, right??)
(It's hard to say, and I'm more worried about Xiao Bai's current condition. Is there any hope for her?)
(... I mean, you should at least show some concern for your cousin! What did Xiao Qiu mean when she said 'he's not Fang Ming's brother'? I don't understand!)
(I don't understand either...)
(I haven't even finished watching the replay, so I understand even less!)
The viewers in the live chat didn't understand, but the Xiao Bai did.
Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced to the side and saw Yu Muqiu in real life tilting his head, also pondering the questions mentioned in the comments.
In reality, Yu Muqiu clearly doesn't understand the thought process of his own reflection on the Sky Screen.
Because she didn't have face-to-face contact with 'Fang Ming' inside the Sky Screen, she naturally didn't know that Fang Ming was actually a puppet created by Dongdong.
When Yu Muqiu met Fang Ming before, he shot him with Light Cannon. The force of the Light Cannon left a wound on Fang Ming's face, but no blood flowed out at the time.
To outsiders, this might seem like the reason why bloodshed is inappropriate, given that the movie's protagonist is Xiao Qiu and the series has returned to an all-ages format.
But in reality, this is because Fang Ming was just a puppet.
There might be plastic or something else under the skin, which is why the wound isn't bleeding.
Similarly, when all consciousness in this doll dissipates, the body returns to being an uncontrollable, lifeless object.
Its weight, material, and feel are vastly different from those of ordinary people.
It may seem like nothing has changed, but once you start using it, you'll understand.
Ah... this is a doll, not a real person.
[Yu Muqiu] only said that because he had perceived these things at close range.
But this is something that the real Yu Muqiu is unaware of.
Xiao Bai sighed softly upon seeing this.
Xiao Qiu inside the Sky Screen has already discovered something, which is clearly setting the stage for the third season. It seems that her exposure in the third season is a foregone conclusion.
The energy released by Xiao Bai caused the gap in the sky to widen.
Aurora released Stella again. She looked at Xiao Qiu, then at Xiao Bai, who was still unconscious and only trying to release energy, and asked:
"That's what they say, but how do you do it?"
"It would be best... to wake Xiao Bai up!"
After Xiao Qiu finished speaking, her gaze fell on Stella.
Stella knew what Xiao Qiu was going to do, and she whispered:
"While Xiao Bai, who possesses self-awareness, can indeed control energy output,... what's the point of what you're doing? The barrier has already been broken. Even if Xiao Bai's consciousness returns, it won't stop anything; on the contrary, it will only erode her consciousness—"
"But at least we should give Xiao Bai a choice! Instead of choosing for her!"
Xiao Qiu said earnestly to Stella, "I know you care about Xiao Bai, you're concerned about Xiao Bai, but Xiao Bai might not need your concern! What you need to do now... is to release her consciousness and let her return to her own body!"
"What you're doing is pointless—"
Bang!!!
Stella's words were suddenly interrupted.
The one who interrupted her was none other than Aurora, who was standing next to her.
Aurora punched Stella in the face, sending her flying again. Once Stella landed on the ground, Aurora waved her hand and said:
"Whether it works or not isn't up to you to decide! Before I get too angry, you'd better do as Xiao Qiu says! Otherwise—"
Aurora punched her left hand with her right fist.
Clang!
The metal armor clashed, producing a crisp sound. Aurora smirked, "I'll kill you!"
"..."
"..."
Xiao Qiu and Stella both fell silent.
Xiao Qiu felt that Aurora's actions were somewhat violent, but the situation was urgent, and they really didn't have time to argue with Stella right now.
If Stella doesn't do what Aurora says and gets really beaten up by Aurora, then Xiao Qiu won't care.
Stella noticed this too. She looked up at the gap in the sky, gazed at it silently for a few seconds, and then sighed.
"I see..."
Snap--
She raised her right hand and snapped her fingers.
After the snap, the 'Xiao Bai' doll, which was hiding in a corner, paused slightly, then lost consciousness and collapsed to the ground.
At the same moment the Xiao Bai doll collapsed to the ground, the Xiao Bai at the center of the magic circle let out a cry of Pain:
"Aaaaaaah--!!!!!"
"Xiao Bai!!"
Xiao Bai's Pain cries sent a pang of pain through Xiao Qiu's heart.
Even though Xiao Qiu felt sorry for Xiao Bai, she had to make Xiao Bai stop.
"Xiao Bai!! Stop the energy transfer immediately!! Quick--!"
"Xiao Qiu... Sister... I... I'm in so much pain!!"
"!!!"
Xiao Bai's way of addressing Xiao Qiu stunned her.
Xiao Qiu suddenly turned to look at Stella, and Aurora pulled Stella up again, raised her right fist, and asked her:
"What's going on?! Why hasn't Xiao Bai regained his memories yet?!"
"... This is her self-protection mechanism," Stella explained. "Only in this way can she ensure that her true self is not corrupted by the Erosive Power ..."
Damn it!
Aurora gritted her teeth, "Isn't there any other way?!"
Just as the Magical Girls were at their wits' end, a voice suddenly came from afar:
"Phew... there's... there's a way!! First, seal the gap above! Then figure out a way to seal Xiao Bai's magic!"
The two women, one in red and one in pink, looked behind them and saw two streaks of light, one blue and one green, flying towards them from a distance. On the shoulder of the green streak sat the Black Rabbit Youyou, who had been missing for several days!
Her body looked a little dirty, but she was in pretty good condition.
Clearly, those words just now came from Youyou.
"Sorry we're late!"
After landing, Chen Xiaoxia immediately apologized to the two of them, then pointed to Xiao Chun beside her and said:
"It's all Xiao Chun's fault! She just wouldn't believe what I said. If she hadn't suddenly realized something just now, I don't know how long I would have fought with her!"
Xiao Chun lowered her head silently, not daring to look into her companions' eyes.
Stella was knocked to the ground by a powerful punch from Aurora, which also caused her to lose her ability to perceive others.
Once Xiao Chun regained consciousness, there was no need for her to continue fighting with Chen Xiaoxia.
They should have arrived much earlier, but they received Youyou Telepathy from Youyou on the way, so they went home to pick her Youyou.
It wasn't until they got home that the two realized Youyou hadn't actually left.
When 'Fang Ming' moved into Fang Ming's house, she was hypnotized by Stella and turned into a real doll, hiding under Fang Ming bedroom.
That's why no one has been able to find her.
Youyou aside the hardships Youyou had endured these past two days, and without complaining, she quickly addressed the Magical Girls:
"You are all Magical Girls have activated your Shining Form. You can ignore Xiao Bai for now and go directly outside the World Barrier. Use your power to build a barrier! That will stop the energy from escaping!"
"But Xiao Bai-- "
Yu Muqiu was still very worried about Xiao Bai, who was Pain.
Youyou continued, "With Aurora and Dongdong here, I'll teach them how to seal magical power. As long as we temporarily seal Xiao Bai's Erosive Power, she'll be fine for a while!"
The Magical Girls fell silent, exchanging glances as they considered the feasibility of Youyou's words.
Finally, Chen Xiaoxia stepped forward and said to Xiao Qiu:
"Now is not the time to hesitate, Xiao Qiu! Whether we succeed or not, we have to do it!"
After all, there was no other option to choose from!
The Magical Girls began to split up and act as Youyou had instructed.
Xiao Qiu and her two companions flew towards the gap in the sky.
Aurora, standing below, looked around and suddenly turned to Youyou, asking:
"... Where is Dongdong?"
"Oh... I forgot, she's still unconscious!"
"...!"
Aurora's lips twitched, and she stared at Youyou for a long time.
Is this Black Rabbit really reliable?
Youyou is reliable.
Compared to Nino, who is still fast asleep at home, she is definitely more reliable.
That was what Xiao Qiu and the others originally thought.
However, when the three of them actually passed through the gap and came out of the world, they suddenly found that things were not as bad as they had imagined.
Xiao Qiu's world is round, or rather, most of the world is round overall.
Just like an egg, the egg white and yolk are the whole world, while the eggshell is the barrier of the world.
Now, a gap has appeared in the eggshell. Xiao Qiu and the others come out through the gap. What they need to do is use their magic to completely envelop the 'egg' and prevent any Demons power from being released.
Xiao Qiu and her friends have now taken the first step, which is to move from inside the eggshell to the outside.
If all goes well, their next step will be to Magic Link to each other, eventually forming a massive barrier that covers the entire 'World Egg'.
Normally, that should be how it should be, but when they came to the outside world, they were surprised to find... there was another barrier outside the eggshell!
It was a dark purple barrier that was slowly enveloping the entire world!
The power was so immense and oppressive that it made Yu Muqiu and the other two feel both nervous and confused.
"Where... where does this power come from?"
"Is someone helping us?"
Xiao Qiu and Xiaoxia exchanged a glance, then looked at Xiao Chun, who had remained silent.
Xiao Chun's eyes scanned the World Barrier, then suddenly she abruptly turned her head and looked beyond the World Barrier:
There are people there!
"!!!"
Xiao Qiu and Xiaoxia also looked beyond the barrier.
In the direction the three were looking, a graceful figure hovered outside the barrier.
She was completely shrouded in shadow, making it impossible to see her face clearly; all that could be discerned was that she was a woman with a very good figure.
The woman held a lady's fan in her right hand. She opened the fan and gently waved it, releasing a faint purple magic that swept through the world where Xiao Qiu was, completely enveloping it and preventing even the slightest trace of its power from dissipating.
As she was doing these things, the woman seemed to notice Xiao Qiu and the other two, or rather, she noticed that Xiao Qiu and the other two had seen her.
A smile revealing only teeth appeared on his face, which was obscured by shadows.
