It's Wild — Chapter Summary

Key Plot Points

• Mi Xue begins erasing the virtual New World, slowly deleting it with intentional malice (to buy time), while severing each consciousness's connection to the virtual world.

• Ceruno "broadcasts" to all consciousnesses, explaining Mi Xue's plan to restart the world, and asks people to remain calm and rational rather than panic; she explicitly states no one will be forced to stay.

• Ceruno waits for Mi Xue to contact her (a stalemate), since a world without people is meaningless.

• Ceruno ↔ Animal-possessed Magical Girls: Physical confrontation; she knocks out a "wild boar" Magical Girl, is surrounded by "hyenas," and tests whether they can actually harm each other—concluding the animals seem unable to cause real damage (by Mi Xue's arrangement).
