Chapter 550
"!?"
Fang Ming was unfamiliar with the girl's voice. He thought it was Xiao Qiu, but the voice was somewhat different from Yu Muqiu's.
The voice was unremarkable, and there were some strange noises in the middle of the speech.
But strangely enough, it evokes a sense of 'divinity'.
Who is speaking?
Is that Xiao Qiu?
Fang Ming was guessing what was going on when the voice came again:
"... The passage connecting... two worlds... is unstable... I... was able to do these things... because of... your special nature..."
"Xiao Qiu!? Are you Xiao Qiu?! You're the Xiao Qiu from the future... the one in the Sky Screen?! What happened in the future?! And what's going on now?! Can you tell me?!"
Hearing the intermittent words from the voice, Fang Ming asked loudly.
However, the voice did not answer Fang Ming.
She just kept saying to herself:
"Your... future... and fate... are to be seen by yourselves..."
"!?"
"... Please... save everyone... I beg you... Brother Fang Ming..."
"Xiao Qiu?!"
The dark space suddenly became bright, and the ground beneath Fang Ming's feet suddenly turned into a clear blue sky.
The sky was beneath his feet, the city above his head.
As all darkness faded, Fang Ming suddenly 'fell' towards the city above him!
"Xiao Qiu!!!"
Fang Ming called out Xiao Qiu's name loudly, but the voice gave him no response.
Close your eyes, then open them again.
With just a blink of an eye, the world before Fang Ming's eyes changed completely.
He stood on the ground, with Stella, who was dressed rather formally, beside him.
Before Fang Ming could react, Aurora's voice suddenly came:
"Hey!! Cheating Bear, so where are we going first?"
"... I told you not to call me 'the Cheating Bear'... Seriously, let me see... Hmm, how about going to Rock City first? Maybe it will help Xiao Xue regain her memories..."
Stella was planning her route on her phone when she turned to Fang Ming and asked:
"Xiao Xue, what do you think?"
"?"
Fang Ming hadn't reacted yet, but his body involuntarily spoke:
"I'll do whatever you say. After all, the Central Continent District is a completely unfamiliar place for me right now."
"In that case, it's settled then. Let's go to Rock City first."
Stella put away her phone and decided to speak.
Aurora stared intently at Stella, her face filled with suspicion:
"You better behave yourself!"
"Yes, yes, really, with you watching, what could I possibly do to Xiao Xue?"
"... It's hard to say."
Aurora muttered to herself, and the two of them, along with Fang Ming, walked towards the airport exit.
As Fang Ming passed through the airport corridor, he inadvertently saw his own reflection in the glass corridor.
The body... is still the same body, and the height... hasn't changed much either.
But his hair had turned from black to pure silver.
He... is not him.
He is now Tsukinomiya Yuki.
Realizing this, Fang Ming held his breath.
Boom!!
The door to the safety room was blasted open.
Stella trembled and raised her hands, shouting:
"I surrender!! I surrender!!! I'm so sorry for taking Fang Ming away without my permission!! But... that's not the point right now!!!"
Stella said, quickly picking up the unconscious Fang Ming and addressing the three Magical Girls who entered through the door:
"Fang Ming suddenly fell asleep for some reason, and couldn't be woken up no matter what..."
"What?! Brother Fang Ming!!!"
Of the three Magical Girls, the Magical Girls whose color was green immediately rushed into the room and took the unconscious Fang Ming into her arms.
At this moment, Murong Xiaochun's face showed no trace of the dazedness and shyness she had displayed when facing Fang Ming; instead, it was filled with seriousness and solemnity.
When it comes to serious matters, she reveals this 'serious mode,' and that's the real her.
Magical light Shine in her hands as Xiao Chun used Healing magic to give Fang Ming a thorough check-up.
However, the more Xiao Chun examined, the more serious her expression became.
"No... problem...?!"
Xiao Chun couldn't believe it.
Aurora's face darkened, and she suddenly lunged forward, grabbing Stella's collar and demanding:
"What did you do to that old man?!"
"I didn't do anything!"
Stella pointed to the security camera in the living room and said, "There's a camera there. You'll see in a moment! Fang Ming has been in the living room since yesterday, but he suddenly fainted just before the Sky Screen started playing!"
"I've tried to awaken him with my Psychic Power, but it didn't work!"
"We have to go back." Xiao Chun carried Fang Ming in her arms in a princess carry and said to everyone present with a serious expression:
"Brother Fang Ming's body shows no abnormalities, and as for his soul... I haven't found anything strange either. But now that Fang Ming is unconscious, the absence of any abnormalities is the biggest abnormality!"
"I can't think of a way to wake him up, but Xiao Qiu might be able to, or at the very least..."
Xiao Chun looked at Stella.
Aurora released Stella and nodded in agreement, "And Lesos too."
The Magical Girls are ultimately too inexperienced, but among them is a Magical Girls Witch has lived for a thousand years.
She might know something.
But if even Xiao Qiu and Lesos are helpless in Fang Ming's current situation...
Aurora and Xiao Chun looked at each other, each seeing the worry and anxiety in the other's eyes.
If even these two can't find the reason why Fang Ming is unconscious, then no one in this world can solve the abnormal situation surrounding Fang Ming.
"Interesting."
Lesos, who was originally planning to leave, said this as the first thing after seeing Fang Ming, who was unconscious.
Chen Xiaoxia said anxiously to Lesos:
"Stop being 'funny'! Tell me quickly what happened to Fang Ming!"
"Have no idea."
"Have no idea!!??"
The Magical Girls were all taken aback.
Lesos sat to the side with her legs crossed, and said to the Magical Girls:
"Even I have things I don't know. Don't think that just because you've lived a long time you can know everything. Besides, I don't have much magic power right now, so I can't detect anything. But..."
Lesos gestured towards Xiao Qiu and said, "Since even this person can't do anything, perhaps what caused Fang Ming to fall into a deep sleep... is related to that thing in the sky."
"The Sky Screen?"
Xiao Chun had also thought of this.
Because of the existence of the Sky Screen, everyone has gained a basic understanding of everything that happens in the world.
It's safe to say that almost everything about Magical Girls in this world is no secret.
But there is one mystery that remains unsolved, and no one has been able to find the answer to this day.
The appearance of the Sky Screen.
Who created the Sky Screen, and why it plays stories of Magical Girls at fixed times—these questions remain unanswered.
It's just that people have been so used to the existence of the Sky Screen that they haven't thought about it any further.
But now Fang Ming is unconscious, and neither Xiao Qiu nor Lesos can do anything about his condition. It is very likely that Fang Ming's unconsciousness is related to Sky Screen!
Perhaps it's time for the Magical Girls to uncover the truth Sky Screen.
That being said...
"... If Fang Ming's coma is indeed related to Sky Screen," Yu Muqiu looked at everyone with concern, "Then... where should we begin our investigation?"
The Magical Girls were all speechless when this question was posed.
If they had known where to begin their investigation, the problem with the Sky Screen might not have troubled everyone for so long.
The Magical Girls all remained silent.
Just as Lesos was about to say something, Fang Ming, who had been unconscious, suddenly moved.
His fingers twitched slightly, and his eyeballs moved beneath his eyelids—a sign that he was about to wake up.
"First Release on '0u. com Reading Club'"
Seeing this, Lesos swallowed back what she was about to say and changed her words:
"Hey, it seems like your brother Fang Ming has woken up."
"Brother Fang Ming!!"
Xiao Chun rushed to Fang Ming's side as he was about to wake up.
Amidst everyone's anticipation, the boy lying on the bed slowly opened his eyes. He looked at the Magical Girls around him, his eyes lifeless.
"Brother Fang Ming!!!" Xiao Chun called out again, throwing herself into the boy's arms, crying tears of joy.
But after making the call, Xiao Chun felt something was wrong.
The boy she was hugging didn't react at all!
"Hey... Cow Girl, let go of that old man!" Aurora suddenly came over and dragged Xiao Chun away.
Xiao Chun shouted in dissatisfaction, "You little dwarf, do you have to argue with me at a time like this!"
"No!! Look at the uncle's appearance!"
Aurora pointed to the boy's current appearance.
Although the boy opened his eyes, they lacked the liveliness and brilliance that a normal person should have.
He just stared blankly at everyone, without saying a word or showing any expression, like a puppet.
Lesos finally got up, went to the boy's side, and placed her hand on his face to examine him.
After a moment, Lesos's expression turned serious, and she cursed aloud:
