Can You Stop Reading So Much Into Things?!

Three Magical Girls in their Shining Form, along with Xiaobai, who was gradually falling behind and could only Xiao Bai Chen Xiaoxia on from behind, worked together to fight the Demons.

Chen Xiaoxia's greatsword is invincible; no Demons can withstand a single strike from her when she is in her Shine state!

When she wasn't fighting the Demons, Chen Xiaoxia successfully entered the police academy. During the day, she attended school with her friends, and at night, she transformed into a righteous Magical Girls to fight the Demons.

Day after day, year after year.

Time seemed to stand still in the world, without any change, yet Chen Xiaoxia herself did not notice anything amiss.

She was completely immersed in her beautiful dream, in her own fantasy.

Until this day... the sky of dreams was torn open, revealing a gap.

A Black Meteor fell through the gap, which Chen Xiaoxia captured.

As the 'captain' of the Magical Girls, Chen Xiaoxia arrived at the scene immediately.

A crater had been smashed into the ground, and in the center of the crater lay a black rabbit. Upon seeing Chen Xiaoxia, it immediately pleaded for help:

"... Help... help me!"

"Magical Creatures!"

Chen Xiaoxia recognized it at a glance; the black rabbit was Magical Creatures just like Nino.

Nino is a companion of the Magical Girls, so this Black Rabbit is also a companion of the Magical Girls!

Once the equation was true, Chen Xiaoxia made her decision.

She immediately transformed and flashed to the rabbit's side to pick it up, but at that moment, endless chains came crashing down from the sky. Xiao Bai, with red markings on her neck and chin, stepped on the chains and wielded a scythe as she swung it down at the Black Rabbit below!

"!!"

Chen Xiaoxia's eyes widened. Before she could even be surprised at why Xiao Bai was acting this way, she instinctively raised the greatsword in front of her!

This greatsword, which had accompanied her in slaying countless Demons, was Magical Armament in its Shining Form and should have been incredibly sturdy.

But the greatsword was easily Severing by the scythe after just one collision; it was as fragile as paper!

In the end, Chen Xiaoxia reacted quickly, rolling to the side without regard for her appearance. In addition, Xiao Bai saw Chen Xiaoxia's appearance and stopped in time, thus preventing Chen Xiaoxia from being killed as well.

After a brief exchange, Chen Xiaoxia stood up at the edge of the pit, holding the rabbit.

Xiao Bai stood outside the pit, the chains, under her will, completely sealing off all directions to prevent Chen Xiaoxia and Black Rabbit from escaping.

Chen Xiaoxia, holding the Black Rabbit, looked up and asked:

"Xiao Bai! What... what happened to you!?"

"Xiao Bai?" The silver-haired girl repeated Chen Xiaoxia's address to her, tilting her head, a slightly frightening smile appearing on her face—a smile that was truly terrifying.

"That's strange, you actually call me that."

Chen Xiaoxia usually referred to the silver-haired girl by nicknames such as "that guy," "hey," or "black one," and never actually called her "Xiao Bai."

It might be because Chen Xiaoxia disliked Xiao Bai, or it might be because Xiao Bai wasn't the silver-haired girl's real name, that Chen Xiaoxia was unwilling to call her that.

But here, Chen Xiaoxia directly called out the name 'Xiao Bai'.

If Chen Xiaoxia hadn't truly sensed a uniquely Chen Xiaoxia's 'idiot' aura emanating from her, Xiao Bai probably would have genuinely thought that Chen Xiaoxia was also something conjured up by the black rabbit.

"Xiao Bai..."

Chen Xiaoxia couldn't understand what Xiao Bai was saying. Just as she was about to speak, she was interrupted by the sickle Xiao Bai raised.

"I'm too lazy to explain to an idiot like you. I'll just say two things: First, this world is fake, and that rabbit is the culprit."

"Second--"

Xiao Bai pointed his scythe at the rabbit, "Give her to me, or... I'll beat you up too!"

The music suddenly stopped, and a close-up shot of Xiao Bai and Chen Xiaoxia appeared.

Episode 4 has ended!

(It's going to be a civil war again!!)

(Seriously, you should have saved this Easter egg for the next episode! How am I supposed to get through the next 24 hours?!)

(Good, good, good, well done! Hahahaha!)

(Oh no, another one's gone mad. Take him away, he's beyond saving.)

The comments section erupted in a cacophony of screams and howls because of the 'fragment' at the end, but all the comments disappeared along with the darkened Sky Screen after the Sky Screen went completely dark.

Of course, everyone knows they've just shifted the battlefield; the discussion threads on the current Magical Girl Website are sure to be even more exciting.

Only after the Sky Screen ended did Fang Ming formally inquire about Youyou's purpose:

"You, on the Sky Screen, want to lock Xiaoxia and me together in a dream? Why?"

"Didn't I tell you before that we should use nightmares as a disguise to avoid the Demons' detection, right?"

Youyou countered with a question.

Fang Ming nodded. "Yes, you said that."

"Then you should know that Nicole alone could not possibly put the whole world into a dream."

That's right, and that's why Fang Ming always felt that Youyou and Song Niandong must have some hidden cards up their sleeves.

Judging from the power that Youyou and Song Niandong have shown so far, they simply do not have the ability to make the whole world enter a dream and live in the dream for a lifetime.

Unless they have an incredibly strong trump card.

Sure enough, Youyou and her friends were hiding a secret weapon: Nicole.

But a closer look at Nicole reveals that she simply couldn't do that with her Nicole power. Let alone putting the whole world into a dream, even putting the people of Spring City into a dream is an impossible task.

Seeing Youyou Fang Ming understood, Youyou continued, "So, I've prepared two plans."

"One method is to collect Nightmare Seed, allowing people to enter nightmares and create more Nightmare Seed. The power of the Nightmare Seed can then be used to set up magic arrays, enhancing Nicole's strength and creating an illusion that envelops the world."

"Second... is the Magical Girls."

Youyou turned to look at Song Niandong, who was playing a 'sticky' game with Nicole, and said softly, "The Magical Girls have very strong magic, especially you and Yu Muqiu, whose magic has reached the level of Mid-Tier Demon."

"If I can drag you into a dream, using your magic as a source, I can radiate that dream throughout the entire Spring City. Then, using the dream power of the ordinary people of Spring City as the core, I can radiate that dream to any corner of the world!"

"So that's why you trapped Xiaoxia and me in a dream."

"Yes... but I don't understand, how can you not be affected by dreams? Or... is it because you are stronger?"

Youyou was completely baffled by this.

After being infused with Song Niandong's magic for a long time, Nicole's current strength has surpassed that of Chen Xiaoxia and Xiao Chun in their normal state.

The Song Niandong on the Sky Screen spent a longer time nurturing Nicole, therefore Nicole's strength on the Sky Screen is also greater than it is now.

Logically, it should have been easy to trap Xiao Qiu and Xiao Bai, whose strength was at Middle Rank, in the dream.

However, Xiao Bai remained unaffected, forcing Youyou to resort to other methods. As a result, Youyou not only made numerous mistakes but also angered Xiao Bai, causing her to enter 'Erosion Mode'.

For Youyou on the Sky Screen, this was probably the worst thing that could happen.

"Hmm... I'm not really sure either. How about we try it sometime later?"

Fang Ming wasn't entirely sure how he had managed to do it on the Sky Screen, but since Youyou and Song Niandong were there, he figured he might as well have the person in charge recreate what happened on the Sky Screen.

Perhaps the answer will come then.

Without further ado, Fang Ming decided to test Nicole's abilities with Dongdong and Youyou after lunch.

But during this time, Fang Ming received another message from Xiao Chun.

It was a message Xiao Chun sent to Xiao Bai.

Xiao Qiu wants to see you. Do you have time this afternoon?

Upon seeing this message, Fang Ming raised an eyebrow.

Xiao Qiu wants to see Xiao Bai? Could it be because of the MP3 being played on the Sky Screen?

Surely... no way?

Chapter 115 Can you guys please stop thinking such nonsense!

"Huh? You saw that guy's recording at Fang Ming's brother's house?!"

In the afternoon, Chen Xiaoxia, who had been temporarily 'released from prison,' met her companions at Yu Muqiu's house and heard the shocking news from them.

Yu Muqiu explained, "It wasn't us... well, not entirely. It was us on the Sky Screen who saw Xiao Bai's recording in Fang Ming's room on the Sky Screen."

What's on the recording?

Chen Xiaoxia asked with considerable curiosity.

Yu Muqiu pondered, "It's probably a greeting like 'Good morning, brother'? The Sky Screen doesn't show much of that, so I'm not too sure."

"Ugh... Damn it! I really want to see the replay! But--!"

Chen Xiaoxia turned to look at Xiao Chun, Xiao Chun shook her head at her. "Just bear with it for two more days, no, maybe just one day, and you'll be able to watch the replay."

"Ugh--!" Chen Xiaoxia gritted her teeth and hesitated, finally saying directly to Xiao Chun, "What method are you going to use to make me activate my Shining Form? Just tell me directly! Or just start already! I can't wait!"

"Sorry... Episode 4 didn't reveal any more details about you activating your Shining Form, so I'm not entirely sure either. You'll have to wait another day."

Xiao Chun shook her head regretfully.

Chen Xiaoxia, dejected, slumped onto the sofa beside her and said weakly, "I'm going to die without episodes four and five to watch..."

"Hmm, how about... we go directly to Xiao Bai and ask her?" Yu Muqiu said to Chen Xiaoxia, "I've already made plans with Xiao Bai and Dongdong to meet outside the city this afternoon, so..."

"Wait a moment!!!"

Hearing this, Chen Xiaoxia jumped up from the sofa again and looked up at Yu Muqiu, asking, "You just said... you made plans with that guy and... Song Niandong?!"

"Yes, that's right." Yu Muqiu nodded.

"Still saying 'Yeah, yeah~'? Is this the time for 'yeah~'?! Haven't you noticed what you've overlooked?!"

Chen Xiaoxia grabbed Xiao Qiu's shoulders and shook her back and forth.

When she said "yes," she deliberately changed her voice to imitate Yu Muqiu's innocent voice, which sounded quite comical.

Xiao Chun almost burst out laughing when she heard this, but seeing Xiao Qiu's pink eyes turn into swirls and start spinning, Xiao Chun stepped forward to stop her, saying:

"Simply put, we accidentally ran into Xiao Bai and Song Niandong, and then... after experiencing some things, we decided to keep their existence a secret until after the second season ends, and then consider what to do next."

"No, no, no! This is omitting way too much!"

Chen Xiaoxia launched into a tirade.

Xiao Chun patted Chen Xiaoxia helplessly and said, "... Anyway, if you want to know what's going on, just come with us."

After saying that, Xiao Chun looked up at Chen Xiaoxia and asked, "So, are you going?"

"I have to go!!"

Chen Xiaoxia answered without hesitation.

"... and then you brought this idiot here?"

Inside the safe house, Xiao Bai looked at Chen Xiaoxia, who was standing with her arms crossed and her nose in the air, her eyes revealing her speechlessness at the idiot.

Before Yu Muqiu and Xiao Chun could say anything, Chen Xiaoxia retorted:

"Why can't I come! Besides, you're the fugitives now! We've already been very lenient by not reporting you!"

Xiao Bai is not a fugitive; Song Niandong is.

However, since Xiao Bai is currently protecting Song Niandong, he has committed the crime of harboring a criminal, so both of them are criminals.

Chen Xiaoxia, who comes from a family of police officers, knows this very well.

Fortunately, she wasn't a formal police officer, and when it came to her friends, her sense of justice was quite flexible.

Furthermore, she believed what her friend said, which is why Chen Xiaoxia didn't actually report it to the authorities.

Although she knew she would definitely get a beating if her dad found out about this.

But it doesn't matter, the Sky Screen isn't showing the past, but the future, so Chen Xiaoxia doesn't need to worry about her father finding out about her current actions.

Since she wasn't discovered, she wasn't considered to be harboring a criminal!

Yes, that's it!
