Chapter 383

Rather, seeing the Xiao Bai in the third season who was willing to bear everything to protect the Magical Girls, Lesos grew to like her more and more.

If it weren't for the inability to forcibly turn Xiao Bai into Witch, Lesos would have transformed Xiao Bai into her 'sister' the moment she arrived in Xiao Bai's world.

Who wouldn't love such a cute, pitiful, yet strong little sister?

But unfortunately...

"Hmm... why don't we try to persuade him after we meet?"

Lesos thought for a moment, then shook her head. "Never mind, let's talk about it when we meet."

The existence of the Sky Screen caused a shift in Lesos's mindset.

She didn't want to make a bad impression on the Magical Girls like she did in the Sky Screen, so when they actually met, Lesos decided to focus on conversation.

After all, if possible, Lesos would also Hope Magic girl system.

She didn't want to end up like a rat in the street, without even a place to stay.

Fang Ming broke out in a cold sweat.

Xiao Chun was chuckling to herself, while Aurora shook her head and sighed.

Both of them already knew that Fang Ming's identity could most likely no longer be kept secret.

Based on the information currently Sky Screen, some 'die-hard fans' on discussion forums will surely be able to uncover Xiao Bai's true identity.

What they lack now is just one decisive piece of evidence.

Once this evidence is presented, even if Sky Screen doesn't say anything, they will be able to confirm Xiao Bai's true identity.

"Luckily, I ran fast..."

After breaking out in a cold sweat, Fang Ming couldn't help but sigh.

Xiao Chun whispered from the side, "When we deal with high-ranking Demons later, you'll definitely be fighting alongside Xiao Qiu and the others. What will you do then?"

"... Leave the future to my future self." Fang Ming sprawled out on the sofa, gazing at the sky outside. "Right now, I'll catch up on my anime series..."

Fang Ming's resigned expression drew another chuckle from Xiao Chun.

However, Xiao Chun then secretly took out her phone and started snapping photos of Fang Ming was sprawled on the sofa.

Sloth Fang Ming is so cute!

Stella was 'fooled' by Xiao Bai. She muttered something unintelligible, Severing communication with Xiao Bai, and went to do what Xiao Bai had instructed her to do.

Xiao Bai leaned against the wall of the alley, looked up at the sky, and remained silent for a long time.

The Magical Girls spent the entire day dealing with the Demons.

By evening, after confirming that the Demons had been eliminated and that there were no more warnings of Demons appearing around the world, the Magical Girls returned to the island to rest and review the day's battles.

"Ugh... I'm exhausted... That damned organization, they secretly created so many Demons!"

Chen Xiaoxia lay on the ground without any regard for her image, looking like she was about to collapse from exhaustion, while complaining about the Aurora Society whose name she couldn't remember.

"It's the Aurora Society." Xiao Chun first corrected Chen Xiaoxia's terminology for 'that society,' then said, "... The appearance of the Demons this time should be a contingency plan left behind by the Blood Demon last time. I sensed the Blood Demon's aura in many of the Demons' Nightmare Seed."

"Huh? That Blood Demon is too evil!" Chen Xiaoxia said indignantly.

"Um..."

Yu Muqiu sat by the campfire, looking at the flames rising in front of him, and gave a sullen reply.

The other Magical Girls could all tell that Yu Muqiu was in a bad mood.

Chen Xiaoxia sat up from the ground, turned to look at Xiao Qiu, and asked with concern:

"Xiao Qiu, are you alright? Were you injured in the battle with the Demons today?"

"How could Xiao Qiu be injured?" Xiao Chun glanced helplessly at Chen Xiaoxia, then whispered, "Xiao Qiu is probably grieving for the innocent people who died or were injured in this incident..."

"..."

Everyone fell silent when this was mentioned.

Actually, the appearance of Demons is not a big deal. Once the Magical Girls open their barrier, no matter how they fight, it won't affect reality. That's how Magical Girls have always done it.

But... this battle with the Demons is different from any other.

The Demons created by the Aurora Society possess their own protective barriers, but these barriers don't transfer the battlefield to the Mirror World; instead, they negate the Magic Barrier of others.

Therefore, this battle between Magical Girls and Demons takes place in reality.

The battle between Demons and Magical Girls caused extensive damage to buildings, not to mention that many Demons completely disregarded the lives of ordinary people, wantonly creating chaos, fear, and despair to absorb the Emotional Force to strengthen themselves.

Ironically, those Demons who only knew how to create chaos and fear caused fewer casualties, because they needed people to live; only when people lived could they continuously absorb negative energy.

On the contrary, those completely insane Demons who only know how to kill cause even greater casualties!

Here, I'm specifically calling out the Sculpture Demon!

The Sculpture Demon who fought Song Niandong turned everyone and everything in the entire city into sculptures at his beck and call from the very beginning!

Otherwise, Song Niandong wouldn't have been able to revitalize the building into City Giant to fight against the Statue Giant!

It was precisely because there were no living people left in that city that Song Niandong dared to do this.

This is just the casualties caused by one Demons.

Throughout the day, over a hundred Demons appeared worldwide, and the combined casualties caused by all of Demons...

Don't overthink it.

Xiao Bai suddenly appeared and said to Yu Muqiu, who was secretly grieving, "What's done is done, and there's no use regretting it now. Instead of wallowing in self-pity, you should take action."

"Hey you, don't you have any sense of the atmosphere at all?!" Chen Xiaoxia said to Xiao Bai with dissatisfaction.

Xiao Bai responded calmly and rationally, "If you can improve your strength just by sitting here and feeling sentimental, then you can sit here for as long as you like."

"But don't forget... the Blood Demon could return at any time, and so far... our Magic Network only covers parts of the Central Continent District and the Americas District."

"We still have a lot of work to do, and we can't afford to waste any more time."

Xiao Bai's words may sound harsh, but they are the truth.

The enemy won't give the Magical Girls time to grieve. Before the Demons truly descend upon this world, the Magical Girls' most urgent task is to perfect the magic network and cover the entire world with arrays that absorb hope.

This way, we can increase our chances of defeating the Upper Demon.

After Xiao Bai finished speaking, Xiao Chun remained silent for a moment, then surprisingly echoed Xiao Bai's words:

"That's true... The Blood Demon released so many Demons, it's definitely not just to cause us trouble, she's definitely planning something... we just can't figure out what her purpose is, so for now... we can only try our best to improve ourselves."

Xiao Chun reacted quickly, proving herself to be the calm and collected one among the First Magical Girl.

After looking around at the Magical Girls sitting in front of her one last time, Xiao Bai finally said:

"Let's rest for a bit, then we'll set up the magic circle."

After saying that, Xiao Bai turned and left.

Only the Magical Girls sitting around the campfire remained, looking at each other in bewilderment.

Volume 4 <Magic Autumn> Movie and Season 3: Chapter 415, go check it out yourself, Xiao Qiu.

"How many people... were killed this time...?"

After Xiao Bai left, Chen Xiaoxia asked in a low voice.

Even though she's usually carefree, she can't be cheerful at all when it comes to matters of life and death.

Yu Muqiu subconsciously took out his phone to check the news.

But Stella walked over at that moment and said to them:

"Don't look at things you shouldn't, so you won't feel even worse later. Let's do as Xiao Bai said and set up the magic circle first. We don't have much time."

"Hey, Little Bear, give me a little hint: just how much of an impact did we cause this time?"

Chen Xiaoxia looked at Stella.

Stella's forehead veins bulged. "Don't call me Little Bear!"

After shouting, Stella calmed down and whispered:

"I can only tell you that the human world suffered great losses this time... but you don't need to know the exact extent. This is for your own good."

The Magical Girls are too kind. If they knew the exact number of casualties, they would definitely feel guilty, and might even hesitate to fight against Demons in the future.

So neither Xiao Bai nor Stella have any intention of telling them the casualty figures.

At the very least, we should wait until we're sure the Magical Girls can accept this before telling them.

However, despite saying that, Xiao Bai and Stella didn't completely forbid the Magical Girls from learning about this matter. If they insisted on wanting to know, Xiao Bai and Stella wouldn't try to dissuade them.

Ultimately, it's up to the Magical Girls to decide.

After Stella finished speaking, the Magical Girls didn't ask any more questions.

Stella didn't say anything to the Magical Girls, but it was precisely this attitude that gave Magical Girls a clear answer.

The Magical Girls stopped asking questions. Chen Xiaoxia was the first to stand up. A flash of light appeared on the back of her right hand, and she had already completed her Magical Girls transformation.

"Let's get to work..."

She uttered a word softly, then flew into the air, heading towards the previously planned node of the magic circle.

Xiao Chun remained silent, got up quietly, and followed Chen Xiaoxia to set up the nodes of the magic circle.

The remaining Magical Girls remained silent.

Yu Muqiu continued to stare at the campfire, the flames dancing within it, and it seemed as if flames were burning in his pink pupils as well.

Finally, she took a deep breath and transformed into a pink shooting star, disappearing into the sky.

The operation to cover the entire world with a magical network has begun. For this operation, the Magical Girls' training has been temporarily suspended. They are wholeheartedly and continuously creating new magic circle nodes, gradually expanding the scope of the magic circle to cover the entire world.

The Magical Girls under the Sky Screen spent a month completing the coverage project, but the girls inside the Sky Screen covered one-third of it in just one day.

Even Magical Girls would feel exhausted from such a high workload.

So, after that day ended, on the evening of the 17th, the Magical Girls had a long-awaited rest.

But this time, even Chen Xiaoxia didn't complain about being tired.

The laughter and joy of the past are gone; only solemnity and gravity remain in the camp on the training island.

Clearly, the Magical Girls are aware of the casualties and property damage they suffered in their battle with the Demons, and now they are all filled with resentment and a burning desire to fight the Demons to the death.

Xiao Bai observed all of this and nodded slightly.

"... Anger, though sometimes a deadly poison, can, under certain conditions, unleash a person's potential."

After saying that, Xiao Bai sighed and said, "The Emotional Force... perhaps it is precisely this heightened emotion that allows it to gradually strengthen."

I have a bad feeling about this.

Stella suddenly said to Xiao Bai.

Xiao Bai turned to look at her. "What do you mean?"

"Upper Demon would never create a bunch of Demons just to cause us trouble. There must be a reason why she instigated such a large-scale Demons riot, but..."

However, since these Demons were eliminated, the entire Federation World has been peaceful.

The Magical Girls had been busy all day, and surprisingly, no Demons came out to cause trouble, which was clearly abnormal.

Stella felt that this might be the calm before the storm.

Xiao Bai agreed with Stella's guess, but they couldn't find any useful clues at the moment. Just setting up the Hope Magic Array was already their best effort, Xiao Bai and the others didn't have the extra energy to look for any backup plans left behind by the Blood Demon.

They might only have time to search for these things once the Hope Magic Array is fully completed.

But by then, it might be too late.

"Alright, if you can't figure it out, don't think about it. Get some rest; we still have work to do tomorrow."

Xiao Bai gently patted Stella's shoulder and turned to leave.

Stella nodded and followed Xiao Bai into the tent.

On the distant beach, Yu Muqiu watched Xiao Bai return to the tent. She gazed at Xiao Bai's back for a long time until his figure was obscured by the tent before turning her attention to Song Niandong, who was lying at the tent entrance watching anime.

After hesitating for a moment, Yu Muqiu walked towards Song Niandong and said to her:
