"... Okay, just stay here and take care of yourself."
After a moment of silence, Lai Rui got up from the ground, patted the dust on his butt, opened the door and walked out.
"Where are you going so late?" Prolora asked while eating midnight snack in the back.
"You mind me, I'll just hang out outside."
After saying that, Lai Rui walked out of the room, his figure disappearing into the darkness.
Prolora just looked up, shrugged and continued to join in the cooking process.
Outside the factory building, the ground is overgrown with weeds, and apart from the occasional buzz of insects, there are no other signs of life activity.
Lai Rui came to the riverside for a walk alone. She walked slowly, raised her head, and looked at each other across the river from the lights of thousands of houses on the opposite side.
Although it is late at night, the city is still full of vitality.
Lai Rui looked at the vibrant scene in his eyes and was silent for a long time.
"I can't go back..."
She suddenly whispered something like this in a low voice.
But the next moment, she chuckled helplessly.
"Really, when did I become so sentimental?"
Perhaps the decadent spirit of Prolora has affected his mind.
Lai Rui shook his head violently, the confusion in his eyes flashed away, replaced by boundless coldness.
The woman in the black dress retracted her gaze and stopped looking. She took another step and stepped into the darkness step by step.
She knew this kind of thing a few years ago.
[Really? If I were you, I wouldn't waste my time in a place like this.]
Very suddenly, an unknown voice suddenly sounded from Lai Rui's heart.
"Who!"
The moment he heard this voice, Lai Rui was shocked and immediately looked around, trying to find the guy hiding nearby.
[No need to look for it, I am you, I am your inner voice.]
The unknown voice carries an ethereal meaning, constantly echoing in Lai Rui's mind, constantly shocking Lai Rui's heart.
"The inner voice? Hey, pretending to be a ghost."
Upon hearing this answer, Lai Rui sneered disdainfully.
Then, with a joking look on her face, she asked into the air in front of her:
"Since you are my inner voice, let me ask you, what color was the fat dress I wore yesterday?"
[...]
For a moment, the voice suddenly became silent.
After waiting for a long time, the voice rang again. This time the other party's voice was no longer mysterious, but mixed with a little helplessness and a strong desire to complain.
[What's wrong with Magical Girl?]
Seeing that the other party was deflated, Lai Rui folded his arms and smiled proudly, "I don't know, I can't pretend anymore, I was so empty yesterday..."
[Stop, stop, stop! You don't need to say it anymore!]
The voice in my heart suddenly became panicked and quickly interrupted Lai Rui's next words.
The person on the other side was silent for a long time, and then sighed.
[... Forget it, I'm really convinced by you Magical Girl.]
"Correction, I am Witch." Lai Rui corrected with a serious expression.
[It doesn't matter, it's pretty much the same to me.]
Hearing this, Lai Rui frowned and finally asked the question he had always wanted to ask, "So what are you?"
[Me? Haha, I am the great immortal existence, the pinnacle of all life. ■■King!]
"What king?"
Lai Rui frowned even more, why did you sign up with a silencer?
[Ahem, my real name is indescribable, and you are not worthy of knowing it at your level. In short, you just need to understand that I am awesome.]
"Okay, okay, okay, I completely understand what you said is absolutely right... so what do you want from me?"
Lai Rui stood on the spot and nodded perfunctorily a few times before continuing to ask.
Then, that voice sounded in her heart again, becoming ethereal and mysterious again.
It said slowly:
[One month later, there is a Magical Girl who is coming, go and find her, you will find in her the answer you want... the answer... the answer... the case...]
After saying that, the inner voice was completely silent, as if it had never happened before.
"..."
Lai Rui stood there, stunned for a long time, and then woke up from the other party's last words.
Answer? What answer does she want?
"Hello? You might as well speak more clearly. Is he still there? Hello?"
She kept calling several times, but the other party never responded.
Lai Rui's brows furrowed into a frown.
No? Why are all the Riddlers I meet?
"Ciallo! Good evening everyone~"
At night, Molis was sitting at the computer desk wearing cat-ear headphones, waving hello to the camera and making a sweet voice in his throat.
"Everyone should know that Magic Ring launched a new event today, called Magical Girl Battle Royale. So tonight I decided to start a water friend competition. The rules are that Magical Girl will play against the fans. The winner will get a small gift specially prepared by Molis."
"What gift? This is being kept secret for the time being. Hey, you can go ahead and guess. The original flavor... isn't that kind of thing!"
"By the way, today's collaboration guest, in addition to the familiar Xia Ya-chan, there is also a lovely Magical Girl who will appear."
"Qiang Qiang! Magical Girl Shan Que-chan, come and say hello to everyone."
In the villa area, Shan Que sat on a chair as if he was listening carefully in class, and waved his hands very reservedly.
"Well, well, I am Shan Que, dear Momo Fanss."
After saying that, she nodded slightly to the screen.
At the same time, Molis's live broadcast room.
[!? Gui'an?!]
[I'm going, it's the eldest lady.]
[You have to say hello like this, come and say it to me: dog repair gold, ciallo~]
After saying that, Shan Que realized that his words had revealed something, and he quickly covered his mouth, not knowing how to answer.
She had no choice but to watch the barrages rolling by in the live broadcast room over and over again. After seeing one of the barrage requests, she tentatively said:
"Dog, dog repair gold, ciallo?"
[Comfortable.]
[Damn it, you've deceived me all this. The other person is so innocent.]
Seeing these barrages, Shan Que, who was still a little nervous at first, slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
Molis in front of the screen noticed the subtle change in the other party's expression, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said abruptly:
"Momo Fans are all very friendly people."
[Yes, yes, we are all pure and good.]
[Come, Miss Molis, say to me: dog repairs gold, ciallo~]
[I really want to be Miss Molis's dog, but Miss Molis has a cat...]
"Hmm... what? dd?!"
Looking at the rapidly scrolling barrages in front of her, Molis nodded with satisfaction. When she saw some of the diseased barrages, the expression on her face suddenly became uncontrollable. She immediately picked up the mouse to flip through the barrages and began to engage in fierce battles.
The white cat looked at the girl who was fussing in front of the computer, and wiped the non-existent tears from the corners of his eyes with emotion.
Once upon a time, the girl was still a rookie standing on stage, but now she doesn't blush even when she recites these shameful lines. She has finally grown up.
Just as he was feeling emotional, Rabi felt his phone suddenly vibrate several times.
It took out the mobile phone from the magic storage space and found that it was a call from Zola.
Rabi looked at the familiar number, paused for a few seconds, and then clicked to connect.
"Hello? What's going on?"
Soon, the strange voice of Zola came over.
"Hey, I heard that you are going to participate in BiliLink."
After hearing this, Rabi said calmly, "Well, so what?"
"What a coincidence, my team has also been invited. See you Demon Capital then."
Snap.
Before Rabi could say anything, the person on the other end hung up the phone after saying this.
"..."
Rabi looked down at the darkened screen of his mobile phone, speechless.
Why is this guy everywhere...
