Chapter 388
"It used to exist, but now..."
She gently licked her lips and smiled at Fang Ming, saying, "If you're willing to become Witch and call me 'Big Sister,' then I won't need to test Yu Muqiu and the others. I can go straight to sealing the Demon King, how about that?"
"..."
Fang Ming froze, looking at Lesos in shock.
Oh no, this Witch is after me!
He instinctively wanted to get up, but after meeting the Witch's amused gaze, he forcibly controlled his body and did not make any impolite move.
Taking a deep breath, Fang Ming smiled and said to the Witch:
"If it's that simple, and you're willing to fight the Demon Lord to the death, then I don't mind sacrificing myself. But... if I really agree, you'll probably be very disappointed."
"Hehehe, that's why I said that, because I knew you wouldn't agree."
The Witch gave a seductive laugh and pointed at Fang Ming with her finger, saying, "Although I've only seen the movie and the third season, I know you fairly well. As an 'ultimate siscon,' you definitely wouldn't agree to completely separating you from your 'sisters.'"
"..."
Slander!
Who's the siscon?
Who are you calling a siscon?!
My concern for Xiao Qiu and the others stems entirely from the love and care of an elder for a younger generation! That's what it means to be a "sister complex"!
Don't lump me in with Witch like you! Bah! You're despicable!
Fang Ming's lips twitched, and he was internally ranting, but in order to maintain his image and not want to offend the Witch, Fang Ming didn't voice his complaints.
He looked at the Witch with a smile and said:
"Let's cut to the jokes, after all, we're not that close... Anyway, if you want to get rid of those feelings for Xiao Qiu and the others, you'll have to fight them first, right?"
"Of course." The Witch snapped her fingers and then pointed at Fang Ming with her finger.
"But you're not allowed to intervene. I can tell that you've probably completely mastered the power of corruption by now. My clone is no match for you. If you help, then it won't be a 'test' anymore."
"Don't worry, I won't make a move."
Fang Ming picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and said meaningfully, "After all, Xiao Qiu and the others do need some pressure right now to motivate them to become stronger."
"Heh, you better be like that, or you'll rush to beat me up when you see them injured."
The Witch said something half-jokingly.
Fang Ming smiled and shook his head, not replying.
Even if Xiao Qiu gets injured because of the 'test', Fang Ming will not intervene.
Because Yu Muqiu and her group do need external pressure to face real danger; otherwise, the gap between them and those above the Sky Screen will only widen.
Fang Ming's conversation with the Witch came to an end.
But Fang Ming did not leave immediately.
As luck would have it, the 'exclusive special edition Sky Screen's beside the Witch Lesos lit up just as their private conversation ended.
Episode 5 of Season 3 of The Magic Autumn.
It's about to begin.
Volume 4 <Magic Autumn> Theatrical Edition and Season 3: Chapter 420 Where's My Fast Forward Button!
The fifth episode is about to air. If he leaves now, even if Fang Ming is incredibly fast, he'll probably only be able to watch it from the middle of the episode once he returns to his original world.
So Fang Ming stayed, intending to watch the fifth episode at the Witch's place before making any further decisions.
The Witch brought out black tea again, but this time, in addition to the tea, Lesos also brought out some pastries.
She leaned back in her chair, relaxed, and joked with Fang Ming:
"Your cousin should have already guessed who you are, so how are you feeling now?"
"It doesn't matter, it'll happen eventually anyway."
The Sky Screen was slowly revealing evidence to everyone, guiding the audience step by step to figure out the connection between Xiao Bai and Fang Ming.
This left Fang Ming feeling disappointed, but it also somewhat prepared him mentally.
Fang Ming is no longer worried that Sky Screen will expose him.
First of all, he has already escaped and is no longer with Xiao Qiu, so there's no need to worry that Xiao Qiu will immediately come looking for him after his identity is exposed.
Secondly, Fang Ming has now returned to his teenage years, and apart from a few die-hard fans, no one should be able to recognize Fang Ming now.
If that's the case, then what's there to worry about?
Is it online discussion? Or the opinion of passersby?
These things were irrelevant to Fang Ming.
Moreover, compared to these trivial matters, the invasion of the Demons is the most important thing.
Fang Ming believed that both Magical Girls and people in this world should be able to distinguish between what is important and what is urgent.
Compared to the fact that 'Fang Ming is actually Xiao Bai,' it's clear that 'the Demons is about to arrive' is more important.
Perhaps because she didn't see the reaction she wanted from Fang Ming, Lesos shrugged with a hint of boredom.
Silence fell between the two, Tea Party, only the sound of the fifth episode could be heard.
In Xiao Bai's bedroom, a silver-haired girl in pajamas sits in a wheelchair, browsing news on her laptop.
The news only contained one thing: the Federation Speaker publicly acknowledged the existence of the Demons.
This was of course Xiao Bai's doing; she had Stella manipulate the Federation Speaker to reveal this matter.
There's no way around it. After yesterday's Demons outbreak, the whole world now knows about the Demons's existence. It's impossible to hide it anymore. In fact, if people in this world continue to discuss it, they might even be able to find out the Magical Girls's identity.
Xiao Bai made Stella do this in order to protect the Magical Girls.
At least this way, the public will turn their attention to the government and ignore the Magical Girls who appeared during the Demons outbreak.
Of course, Xiao Bai also knew that this method could only deceive people temporarily. There was never a shortage of clever people in this world, and perhaps in the future someone would be able to follow the clues and find out about the existence of the Magical Girls.
But that's a thing of the future.
If we can't handle the Demons invasion now, then the people of this world have no future.
Click--
Xiao Bai was browsing the news when she suddenly heard the sound of a key being opened on the door.
Looking sharply towards the door, Xiao Bai could almost see Yu Muqiu opening the door and coming in, peering through the bedroom door and the living room wall.
His crimson pupils dilated instantly, and a rare look of panic appeared on his Xiao Bai face.
"Xiao Qiu... why is she back? Oh no..."
When Xiaobai realized that Yu Muqiu was walking towards her bedroom, Xiao Bai looked around in a panic.
She turned her wheelchair and walked to the bookshelf in the bedroom.
Just before Yu Muqiu was about to open the door, he reached out and picked up a comic book from the bookshelf.
Click--
The scene shifts, Yu Muqiu has arrived in front of Xiao Bai's bedroom.
She placed her hand on the doorknob, took a few deep breaths, clenched her fist, waved it as if to encourage herself, and then suddenly pushed open the door.
The opening theme (OP) begins to play at this moment.
(Ugh!! I've said it so many times, but I still have to say it! The Sky Screen is so broken!!!)
(Where's my fast-forward button? Where's my fast-forward button?!)
(This is the first time I've ever hated an opening theme so much! Skip it already!!!!)
(I can't wait! I want to see Xiao Qiu bully the weak Xiao Bai so badly!!)
(Something's not right with you! But... I want to see it too!!)
(www Haven't you had enough of these doujinshi yet?)
(Not enough! How can a doujinshi compare to the real person on the Sky Screen!)
(You guys are enough www)
"... Although I don't know exactly where this Sky Screen came from, I have to say, the people who made this 'anime' are really good at... cutting things out of context?"
As the Sky Screen seemed to break off here, Lesos let out a sigh.
Fang Ming put down his teacup and sighed deeply, "Who can argue with that..."
Although Fang Ming understood that anime series need a small climax at the beginning and end to grab the audience's attention.
But the way the production team of "Magic Autumn" cut the line this time is just too infuriating!
Fortunately, it only stopped at the opening sequence; if it had stopped at the end of the episode...
I bet a lot of people won't be able to sleep tonight.
The one-and-a-half-minute opening sequence ended quickly, and the scene picked up where Xiao Qiu had just opened the door.
It seems the production team still has some conscience, as they didn't resort to any "two-part" performance style at this point.
Otherwise, when Fang Ming sees Record Bear again, he will definitely do everything he can to make Record Bear teach this production team supervisor and screenwriter a lesson!
Otherwise, his thoughts won't be clear!
Xiao Qiu pushed open the door.
In winter, the bedroom, which is tightly closed and not well-ventilated, becomes slightly dry and has a stuffy smell.
Xiao Qiu glanced around the seemingly normal bedroom and saw that it was empty. A hint of disappointment showed in her pink eyes.
"Xiao Bai isn't here..."
She still thought that Xiao Bai's true form was here, because Youyou had told her before that Xiao Bai was at home, in a place that Xiao Qiu knew about.
As far as Xiao Qiu knew, this was the only place Xiao Bai lived.
The bedroom that Fang Ming's older brother prepared for Xiao Bai.
Xiao Qiu thought Xiao Bai would be there, but now, sitting in the bedroom, Xiao Qiu couldn't sense Xiao Bai's presence.
But what Xiao Qiu didn't know was that behind the bookshelf next to her, Xiao Bai, sitting in a wheelchair, was clutching her chest, trying to calm her wildly beating heart.
Fortunately, she had built a small, isolated room between Fang Ming and Xiao Bai's bedrooms; otherwise, she wouldn't even know where to hide right now!
With her right hand braced against the wall of the secret room, Xiao Bai tried her best to calm herself down. She put her phone and all the electronic devices around her on silent mode and slowed her breathing to minimize her presence.
Xiao Bai's current physical form is very weak. Without using magic, its strength is probably even weaker than Dongdong's. Once Xiao Qiu catches it, it really won't be able to escape.
Xiao Bai doesn't want to reveal her situation yet, and she doesn't want Yu Muqiu and the others to worry, so she has to keep it hidden.
She absolutely... absolutely cannot let Yu Muqiu find out she's here!
"Xiao Bai..."
Yu Muqiu looked around the bedroom and, after confirming that Xiao Bai was really not there, sat down on the bed in disappointment.
She knew that Xiao Bai was deliberately avoiding her, and she understood that Xiao Bai did this because she didn't want her to worry, but the more Xiao Bai did this, the more worried Yu Muqiu became.
Because Yu Muqiu knew very well that, given Xiao Bai's stubborn and awkward personality, the more she didn't want Yu Muqiu to know about her situation, the worse her current situation was!
The thought that his friend might be Pain alone made Yu Muqiu feel terrible.
"Xiao Bai, why won't you tell me? I clearly... I clearly would protect you no matter what..."
Yu Muqiu sighed, her twin ponytails hanging limply.
She muttered to herself for a while, then turned to observe the surroundings of the bedroom.
Upon noticing the laptop on the desk, Yu Muqiu got up, walked to the desk, and opened the laptop:
"Is this what Xiao Bai usually uses for work...?"
Yu Muqiu said this, but suddenly she stopped.
Her hand stroked the laptop, a hint of surprise in her eyes.
"Warm..."
