Who Are You, Really? / An Erosion Form?

"I have no idea..."

Fang Ming's heart was pounding.

The audio from the MP3 player being exposed is one thing, even if it leads to death, as long as the person remains hidden, that's a problem for later.

We'll talk about the future later!

But... if the connection between Xiao Bai and Fang Ming's true form were revealed directly in this episode...

Fang Ming really needs to seriously consider the feasibility of the Youyou Plan!

At the very least, I must find a way to leave this world and never come back!!

Fang Ming is now praying, praying that the Sky Screen are still on his side!

Although a lot of things were revealed in the second season, and he even exposed his treasured personal ASMR to everyone, Fang Ming really disliked Sky Screen.

But... as long as you don't actually expose my identity, you're still Good Sky Screen!!

Chapter 112 Who exactly are you?

[The scene shifts to Xiao Bai's side.]

Compared to Chen Xiaoxia, who is deeply immersed in a dream, Xiao Bai seems to still be in the school building.

But when she returned to the place, Chen Xiaoxia was nowhere to be seen.

"... That idiot, didn't I tell her to wait for me here?"

Xiao Bai frowned deeply, and although his words seemed to be a complaint, they actually carried a hint of anxiety.

It seems she was genuinely worried about Chen Xiaoxia's safety.

Seeing that Chen Xiaoxia was not in the shattered classroom, Xiao Bai scanned the entire classroom with eagle-like eyes, trying to find any trace of Chen Xiaoxia's departure.

After watching for a while, Xiao Bai still couldn't find any clues.

"That idiot!"

She cursed under Xiao Bai breath again, then turned back. In the instant she turned, she had already completed her Magical Girls transformation.

Perhaps because of the time constraints, there wasn't a specific transformation scene for Xiao Bai here.

Immediately after transforming, she completely disregarded whether she was 'vandalizing public property'. She raised her right hand, and countless chains surged out from behind her, rushing out of the classroom and down the corridor.

Silver chains zipped through the school building, like soldiers obeying the queen's commands, searching every corner of the building.

Every classroom, every office, even the principal's office was searched; the tightly closed doors were smashed open with chains, leaving a large hole!

Xiao Bai closed his eyes and carefully sensed every corner of the place, but still couldn't find Chen Xiaoxia's figure.

"?"

This shouldn't be the case.

If this space is indeed a finite yet infinite three-dimensional sphere, as Xiao Bai imagines, then at this very moment, she is standing in the classroom where she previously severed the wall with her Severing Magic.

The remaining walls nearby confirm that this is indeed the place where she and Chen Xiaoxia parted ways.

Logically, Chen Xiaoxia shouldn't be missing.

With his eyes closed, Xiao Bai pondered carefully. He flicked his fingers, and one of the silver chains rattled as it opened a door on the side of the school building and entered the building, flying rapidly toward Xiao Bai's location.

The clanging sound of chains faded into the distance, but soon reappeared from the other side, appearing in front of Xiao Bai.

Looking at the chains encircling him, Xiao Bai confirmed once again that this space was indeed the same.

Why is Chen Xiaoxia nowhere to be seen?

While Xiao Bai was still pondering, the chains suddenly moved slightly. Her pupils contracted as she looked outside. The camera followed the chains rapidly and captured two figures that had already entered the school building.

Those two figures were Xiao Qiu and... Fang Ming!

"???"

The scene in the Sky Screen made Fang Ming's eyes widen in disbelief.

He immediately asked Youyou:

"What's going on?!"

"Clearly, you're dreaming," Youyou said definitively, adding, "And Nicole couldn't perceive the kind of happiness you yearn for deep down, so... it must have been at my behest that she deliberately disguised the dream to be like reality."

"What does it mean if another version of myself appears outside?"

"... Look, when I left, didn't I hear the sound playing in your bedroom? Maybe the image on the Sky Screen misunderstood something."

The person who knows you best is yourself.

Youyou quickly realized that the person on the Sky Screen must have misunderstood the relationship between Fang Ming and Xiao Bai.

This is quite normal. After all, unless you have an extremely vivid imagination, who would think that Xiao Bai and Fang Ming are the same person? And that they would record such an 'ambiguous' voice for themselves?

The Youyou in the Sky Screen probably believes that Xiao Bai and Fang Ming are siblings, or even closer, which is why it created Fang Ming's existence in Xiao Bai's dream.

Since there's no way to completely immerse Xiao Bai in the dream world, the only option is to create something familiar to Xiao Bai to mislead Xiao Bai.

During this time, Youyou will soften Xiao Bai's will. As long as Xiao Bai shows the slightest weakness, she will be completely locked in the dream by Youyou.

The method that Sky Screen Youyou came up with wasn't exactly useless; in fact, from a normal perspective, it was almost perfect.

But Youyou, hidden in the Sky Screen, was unaware of a crucial point.

This is also a key factor that will determine the success or failure of this plan.

Xiao Bai and Fang Ming are the same person.

Therefore, Youyou on the Sky Screen was destined to fail.

The chains retracted swiftly, Xiao Bai's figure disappeared into the shadows. Fang Ming, who had entered through the main gate of the school building, turned on the lights inside and asked Xiao Qiu:

Are you sure Xiaoxia will be here?

"My gut tells me she should be here."

"Sigh, I don't know what this kid is doing at school so late at night instead of going home."

Fang Ming sighed.

There are actually many flaws in the relationship between Fang Ming and Xiao Qiu, so many that it's almost obvious to anyone that something is wrong.

Firstly, if they knew about Chen Xiaoxia's disappearance in real life, then the people who would come here to search for her wouldn't be Fang Ming and Xiao Qiu, but rather the police officers led by Uncle Chen.

The deputy director's daughter has gone missing; this is a major incident, and it's estimated that all the police officers in Spring City will be mobilized.

If it were a matter of magic, knowing that Chen Xiaoxia was missing, then Fang Ming wouldn't be here; instead, it would be Xiao Qiu and Xiao Chun.

Although Xiao Bai is currently in a dream, influenced by the dream, she does overlook some details and doesn't pay attention to details she would normally notice.

But the moment Fang Ming appeared, it was clear that this dream contained a huge flaw in Xiao Bai's eyes!

This is fatal to Youyou's plan.

Yu Muqiu and Fang Ming searched for Chen Xiaoxia's whereabouts inside the school building, and the two even 'coincidentally' separated to search.

Fang Ming also 'coincidentally' walked towards the direction where Xiao Bai was.

As Fang Ming drew closer, Xiao Bai's brows furrowed deeper, and the chill in her crimson eyes intensified.

Seeing Fang Ming getting closer and closer, Xiao Bai raised his sickle without hesitation and instantly arrived beside Fang Ming under the cover of night.

Clang!

With a flash, the scythe was swung out.

Through the night light streaming into the corridor from the window, one could see the scythe that Xiao Bai held to Fang Ming's neck.

Fang Ming's shadow was reflected on the sickle.

Xiao Bai's scythe was hooked around Fang Ming's neck; with just a little force, he would be decapitated.

Fang Ming dared not move; he remained rooted to the spot, his body seemingly trembling.

"Who... who is it!?"

"That's what I should be asking you," Xiao Bai's emotionless voice appeared behind Fang Ming. "Who are you?"

"!"

Upon hearing Xiao Bai's voice, Fang Ming's body trembled slightly.

He suddenly asked Xiao Bai in disbelief, "You... is that you? You are... you are Xiao Bai...?"

(!!!! My cousin really knows Xiao Bai!?)

(But wait, why are Fang Ming and Xiao Qiu here?)

(That's right, and if it really is related to Magical Girls, it should be Xiao Qiu and Xiao Chun who are here, not my cousin.)

(I get it! This is the same as Xiaoxia; it's all an illusion!)

(So this is the cousin Xiao Bai remembers? But why is Xiao Bai acting this way?)

Just as Fang Ming had predicted, the audience immediately noticed something was amiss, and upon hearing the question posed by the fake Fang Ming, the real Fang Ming below the Sky Screen couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Hehehe, Youyou, sometimes... you really are a little bit dim-witted."

"Don't talk about me. The 'me' on the Sky Screen isn't me. Besides, if it weren't for the Sky Screen, who would know that Yu Muqiu was just using nicknames for you, not your real names?"

Youyou light-speed cuts itself off from its reflection in the Sky Screen.

Just as Youyou said.

Xiao Qiu has always called Xiao Bai by this name, which makes You Youyou think that 'Xiao Bai' is Fang Ming's real name in another form.

Who would have thought that these Magical Girls, who seemed to be comrades-in-arms, had never even exchanged their real names!

Xiao Bai almost burst out laughing when she heard Fang Ming address her, but due to her expressionless face in this form, she could only twitch the corner of her mouth.

But the mockery in it is quite obvious.

"Heh." A cold, emotionless laugh rang out as Xiao Bai moved the scythe closer to Fang Ming's neck, leaving a bloody mark on its sharp blade.

Blood flowed out, staining the blade.

Xiao Bai's voice turned cold again as she asked, "Last chance, who... exactly are you?"

"... I am Fang Ming! Have you... have you really forgotten me!?"

"Idiot."

This time, Xiao Bai didn't hesitate at all. The sickle sliced across Fang Ming's head as if harvesting wheat.

The camera didn't focus on Fang Ming; it merely used the reflection in the moonlight to show the 'scene' of Fang Ming's head flying out.

The bloody scene wasn't shown, but it made it clear to the audience what fate awaited 'Fang Ming'.

But amidst the screen full of question marks in the comments, Fang Ming's body in the reflection did not fall down; instead, his severed head remained suspended in mid-air.

He turned his head to look at Xiao Bai, his words less eager and more full of amazement:

"Even though it's someone you know, you showed absolutely no mercy. Where did I go wrong?"

"All of them." The scythe-wielding Xiao Bai twirled in his hand. Xiao Bai turned sideways, coldly staring at Fang Ming, who had become 'Headless', and said in a chilling voice:

"First of all, Fang Ming would never speak to me like that."

"Second--"

Xiao Bai sneered at Fang Ming, "My name isn't 'Xiao Bai' at all. You don't even know who I am, yet you try to fool me by impersonating him?"

"Tsk, miscalculation. 'Xiao Bai' isn't your real name? You've been hiding your real name from your companions?"

Fang Ming put his head back on his body, expressing surprise at Xiao Bai's behavior of hiding the truth from even his companions.

Xiao Bai naturally had no reason to explain the origin of her name, 'Xiao Bai,' to the guy in front of her; she didn't have the time or inclination.

Chains were spread all around his back. Xiao Bai held up his scythe and asked 'Fang Ming':

"I'll ask you one last time before the fight starts: Who exactly are you?!"

Chapter 113 Erosion Form?

(Xiao Bai really knows her cousin!!!)

(Isn't that obvious? If I didn't know it, where would my cousin's Xiao Bai dog's voice come from?!)

(And they must have a really good relationship, after all, Xiao Bai has softened up and started calling him 'brother'... Waaah, I'm so jealous of my cousin now!)
