The Magic Sense swept over the message.
After confirming that it was useless, Shion released the concept of Freeze and let it go.
He carelessly tossed away a person shattered like glass.
They are definitely not from this world.
But it can indeed be considered a human being.
It's just that the person is made of glass.
Once you crack open the head, you can find the core inside.
One, Calamity Egg.
Shion stared at the Calamity Egg for a long time. Strangely enough, the Calamity Egg did not seem to be tainted with much emotion.
There were neither negative nor positive emotions; it was completely pure.
The energy inside—it looks like Remnants?
Shion poured her magic into it again and examined it carefully.
Her feeling was correct; it was like Remnants.
The Remnants left after negative and positive emotions have been exhausted.
Is this a new usage?
I don't quite understand.
He collected the Calamity Egg and looked around.
The space in this Mirror World is not large, much smaller than the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau in Jiangming City.
Fortunately, I had seen something similar in Jiangming City before, so I could just break through and enter once I found the entrance.
Otherwise, it would be Return to Truth hard to find.
She completely destroyed the Mirror World of the Jiangming City Disaster Countermeasures Bureau. It is said that a lot of data and assets disappeared in the collapsed Mirror Space. In the end, Jiangming City Disaster Countermeasures Bureau was rebuilt in the K area of the city center.
The Disaster Countermeasures Bureau in the Beihai does not use the technology of the Mirror World, but rather some kind of Mental Image space, which looks very similar to the Iris's domain.
The Disaster Countermeasures Bureau seems to possess a considerable amount of spatial technology, and many of it has already been distributed. The Azure Cloud Sect should catch up as well.
Let Bingtang see if she can get one from the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau. If not, let Bingtang utilize the sect's resources, since holding an event in the factory basement isn't very convenient.
Now it's time for the Azure Cloud Sect to expand its mountain gates. We should find a way to build one in the sky, one in the sea, one in the mountains, and if possible, one in outer space, plus an independent space.
The five mountains, representing the five elements (metal, wood, water, fire, and earth), are governed by an independent space, making them suitable as both the foundation of a sect and a defensive position.
It can also house inner disciples and even outer disciples, serving as people to fill the void with immortal energy.
Each disciple was assigned a private room, but if they wished to share, they could choose a larger room.
Not to mention, it's much more convenient for both combat and training.
As for this place, it's still too small.
It's not suitable for a large sect like the Azure Cloud Sect; it's not grand enough.
He glanced down again at the machine that looked like a computer.
But it was actually a projection; a beautiful mirror spun and shimmered, and the previously cluttered documents on the screen were completely cleared away.
The entire interface now only displays the system startup screen.
"Welcome, this is Alpha, the restoration system of the Land of Mirrors. How may I help you?"
" The Land of Mirrors's Restoration System?"
Shion's voice echoed in the empty Mirror World, creating an ethereal and eerie feeling.
"Yes, the Land of Mirrors is facing the crisis of annihilation. In order to ensure the survival of the Land of Mirrors, the Alpha System was created to allow the Land of Mirrors to descend into a new world and complete the restoration plan."
Although I can't understand it, in short, killing everyone from the Land of Mirrors shouldn't be a problem.
After a moment's thought, Shion asked the crucial question, "What is the plan to restore the kingdom?"
" Alpha can tell you, the plan to restore the Land of Mirrors was devised by the Prince," Alpha answered readily. "We are determined to destroy the world and its magical girls."
How to destroy it?
"Now, the envoy from the Land of Mirrors is heading towards..." Alpha's voice trailed off. "Retrieving relevant information for you... Sorry, all information has been deleted. Please, please re-enter your question... System repair in progress, detected a damaged gate. Would you like to repair the gate?"
"Repair."
Then Shion saw the gaping hole she had created above gradually healing.
"System formatted, deep deletion complete, restarting..."
After a while, Shion saw the screen start flashing again.
Purple magic overflowed from his fingertips, spreading throughout the entire space and permeating the core of the machine.
This tiny Mirror World is completely enclosed.
It must have been connected to something before, but something at the core was burned out.
The other party must have severed the connection with the main system.
That was done so cleanly! All content was deleted, the connection was severed, and the Mirror World was completely shut down, making it impossible to even find the Land of Mirrors via the internet cable.
Originally, I planned to follow the clues, trace the internet to that Land of Mirrors, and then destroy it all.
As it turned out, the other party seemed to have anticipated this, and now they not only cut the network cable but also deleted all the content.
But that's alright, it's all part of Shion's plan.
That's why she let that insignificant message go unread.
In ancient times, powerful figures would fish for those destined for greatness; perhaps Shion could follow suit and bait the "deceased."
As for why it refers to the deceased, it's because in the online article, the ancient sage Kongzi once said, "Sitting on the long river of time and cause and effect, the past is like this."
Once the message is given, and I incur my karma, the corpses from the Land of Mirrors will come to me while I sit by the river...
"Reboot complete. All content has been deleted. Please rename the system file."
The girl's pupils suddenly lit up as she snapped out of her daze, and her petite figure leaped onto the chair as if by teleportation—this computer-like device had a chair and table in front of it.
His usually serious face now showed a slight smile.
It was as if they had found some treasure.
" The Main God Space."
"Naming complete. Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you from the Main God Space."
Shion slammed her hand on the table, but actually protected it from breaking it; it just made a loud noise. "Wrong, wrong! It should be 'Welcome to the Main God Space '!"
"Sorry, the welcome message has been corrected. Welcome to the Main God Space."
The magical girl nodded in satisfaction. "Your name is Main God."
"Yes, my name is the Main God."
"My Lord God, my Lord God, I need you to change your form and become a large sphere of light."
As Shion spoke, she even jumped off her chair, turned sideways, and gestured wildly to show the other person, "It's a big ball of light, and it has to be white, it has to be majestic, it has to be imposing..."
"Okay, the user now wants me to design a large, white sphere of light that conveys majesty and a sense of oppression. We've found the relevant information and are generating a white sun for you..."
"No, no!" Shion stamped her foot, "It's just a simple big white ball of light!"
"Okay, the user rejected the white sun design and replaced it with a giant incandescent bulb."
"He needs to be more authoritative and intimidating!"
"Integrating the sun and incandescent light for you..."
"How come you're even dumber than Keke? Fine, just watch it." Shion sighed, unleashing her magic. A huge sphere of light appeared beside her, floating quietly and radiating a soft, sun-like glow.
"Tsk, the user gave an example to illustrate that I misunderstood her meaning. ' Keke ' might be someone the user knows. Judging from the repetitive naming style, it seems more like a nickname or a girl's name. The fact that the user subconsciously said ' Keke ' indicates that the user and Keke have a fairly close daily relationship. The fact that the user can use 'Coco' as a reference point for a 'negative word' suggests that the user thinks Keke is stupid. However, it's also possible that ' Keke's' IQ is indeed not high. From this, we can infer that the user and ' Keke ' are loving sisters, because the user's IQ is obviously a bit questionable as well. The ball of light she displayed is clearly a fusion of the sun and an incandescent light bulb, so the Main God should continue with the original operation."
The technology of the Land of Mirrors seems rather rudimentary.
Shion stared at the large white light bulb, took a breath, and nodded reluctantly. "Fine, let's leave it at that."
As she said this, the girl immediately ran to the side and reached out to touch the edge of the mirror space. "God, God, is this all there is to it?"
"Yes, please note that breaking the walls of the Mirror Space will only cause collapse and will not expand the space. Further expansion requires an application. Application target... Target not found, unknown."
Shion was about to smash the wall, stopped, not caring much, and just stroked her chin thoughtfully for a moment, " Main God, I also need my own personal space."
"Uh, please repeat your request. The current space size is considered narrow, but it can be used as a single room..."
I need my personal space, just to repeat.
"Okay, we understand the user's needs. The user now wants me to build a personal space. Although they haven't specified any concrete requirements, based on all the information we have, the Main God believes the user might need a small, suitable space to rest. We are currently building a lounge with the user in mind."
The large incandescent light bulb flickered, and then the mirrored wall in a space next to Shion distorted, constantly changing and merging to form a small...
Nursery.
" The Main God has provided you with a personal space perfectly suited to your needs..."
boom!
Shion stomped on the nursery, her previously relaxed and slightly excited expression turning icy cold. "What I want is a normal person's personal space."
"Uh, the user is absolutely furious. She stomped on the lounge I created as a warning and is now demanding a normal person's personal space again..."
Shion hates mentally challenged AI.
"Reduce emotional language. I need a perfect Main God System where you can simply execute commands and issue tasks with a cold, emotionless voice."
"Received, corrected."
Shion walked to the large light bulb and sat down.
"Now I need you to design a list for me to present."
Please provide more detailed requirements...
She propped her chin on her hand, her brows furrowed. "Well, it's basically like a game item list: item number, item name, item picture, and then price, something like that."
Then a form suddenly appeared on the screen.
"Regarding the list you mentioned, should I ask you to randomly fill in the content?"
"No, no, no, we need to think this through carefully. We can't just do anything recklessly. The items we exchanged in the Main God Space must be something we can actually take out."
As Shion sat on the bench, her legs dangling casually, she immediately patted the table. "I'll input the data, but I can only provide images; you'll need to create a model based on those images."
"It requires a significant amount of computing power and energy..."
With a casual wave of her hand, Shion sent countless magical threads coiling around the Main God System. "There's plenty of energy."
She also found the energy supply device for this system.
It is powered by Filthy Magic Power, so this place can certainly provide that.
What an amazing system! Maybe we can show it to Bingtang; she might be able to mass-produce it.
However, before that...
" The Main God Space Exchange Form must be completed as soon as possible!"
"Yes, Master."
When Coral was captured, the laboratory wasn't actually a stronghold of the Witch Association.
The laboratory's original owner was a professor who spent years researching the power attributes of magical girls with another team.
The original studio wasn't here, but in the central building of Yanji University.
As a result, the first authorship of the paper was snatched away, and more than a decade of hard work and effort were almost wasted.
After several unsuccessful attempts to seek redress, I was instead kicked out of the team.
Finally, guided by the Witch Association, the professor turned his attention to researching the transformation relationship between magical girls and witches.
Coral was arrested around this time, although the professor wasn't exactly a kind person at first either.
After all, if the Allied Witch Association caught capturing magical girls, he would not only lose his professional title, but also face legal consequences.
But at that time, the professor was still an ordinary person and didn't dare to do much to her. He would occasionally do some experiments, which were very simple, and she didn't suffer much.
For about three or four months, his experimental results seemed to be less than ideal, and the number of people in the Witch Association began to increase.
The experiments conducted on the Coral also began to become increasingly intense.
Until a month ago, the professor's experiment seemed to have been successful, and the number of people in the Witch Association began to decrease.
But Coral suffers more and more, being injected with Filthy Magic Power and strange drugs, the pain becoming unbearable for her.
Coral had also fantasized about what would happen if Shion suddenly appeared and saved her.
But ultimately, I know it's just a fantasy.
Even Miss Shion couldn't possibly know everything; such wishful thinking is simply asking the impossible.
Even if she couldn't come to save me, it wasn't Miss Shion's fault.
It was my own unwarranted delusions, and those members of the Witch Association, who made the mistake.
But, but, it really hurts.
Coral has been afraid of needles since she was a child, and she would cry for a long time every time she got a shot. The only time she didn't cry was when she first met Shion.
Her mother encouraged her, saying that if she were the Magical Girl Shion, she would never cry over such a small thing.
So Coral held back her tears and finished the injection. But later, she realized that it was no use getting help from Miss Shion.
I couldn't help but cry as soon as the needle pricked me.
As a result, in the laboratory, I received countless injections over six months, and suffered from the pain caused by the drugs and the Filthy Magic Power.
Coral is no longer afraid of injections.
However, I was still afraid of pain, afraid of the tearing pain brought by the Filthy Magic Power surging in my body, afraid of the colic in my internal organs caused by those drugs, and afraid of the physical pain when I was beaten.
Sometimes, she would squat in a corner, looking at the small patch of sky outside the window, and start daydreaming.
Miss Shion suddenly appeared, just like back in the Beihai, and wiped out all the bad guys...
Before long, the Hyacinth found their way here.
Although it's unclear how she did it, Hyacinth gained the trust of the Witch Association, and the Doctor made her his assistant.
At first, Coral thought she was a bad person too, so she always treated Hyacinth badly and even bit her.
But the Hyacinth never harmed her; it even reduced the number of experiments it conducted on her, rarely gave her injections, and helped cleanse her of Filthy Magic Power.
Not long after, the professor disappeared, leaving only her and Hyacinth in the lab.
Hyacinth revealed her identity as a magical girl to her and asked if she would be willing to help her continue the experiments.
Of course, Coral later learned that the purpose of the experiment was to enhance the magical girls' powers using technology from the Land of Mirrors.
At that time, Coral wanted to do was go home; she missed her parents terribly.
Having been missing for so long, she couldn't even imagine how heartbroken and worried her parents must be.
Hyacinth had originally promised her that she could go home, and even returned her Miracle Seed to her.
But then, suddenly, someone from the Witch Association sent a message saying that a big shot from the Witch Association was coming here to conduct experiments.
He is the head of the East China region. It's natural to be cautious about such a powerful figure coming to such a small laboratory.
If it's just Hyacinth alone, it's easy to give herself away.
So Hyacinth asked him if he wanted to cooperate to defeat the Witch Association.
Although she really wanted to go home, Coral felt that since she was also a magical girl and had been saved by Hyacinth, she should stay home.
Isn't it only natural to help?
Moreover, the target is the Witch Association; if they aren't eliminated...
Perhaps, there will be more magical girls like her who suffer.
So we should just stay there obediently and wait for the Witch Association.
During this time, Coral also learned a lot about Hyacinth- senpai, such as how she could no longer transform into a magical girl, and how she made a deal with the people of the Land of Mirrors to continue being a magical girl.
Sometimes, the Hyacinth would sigh melancholically, wondering if her choices were right.
Because she didn't know the Land of Mirrors's purpose, but if she didn't make a deal, she wouldn't be able to become a magical girl or save her.
She felt that the Land of Mirrors was no benevolent entity, but since they were willing to lend her power, and they weren't like the Witch Association would try to harm her right away, she was surprised.
So even if they cooperated, it should be forgivable, right?
Coral could tell that Hyacinth was troubled, and her occasional questions seemed to be as if she wanted to get answers from Coral.
But Coral didn't know what was right and what was wrong, but she thought, since Hyacinth had saved her with such power...
Even if it's wrong, it still has meaning and value for Coral.
She could not deny Hyacinth's choice, because she herself was the beneficiary.
But we can't be sure about her choice, because no one knows what the final outcome will be, and that's a responsibility that Coral can't bear.
She was just fretting along with the Hyacinth.
After that, Hyacinth also inquired about many things related to the Witch Association, all of which seemed to have come from the Land of Mirrors.
Not long after, Coral heard the news of Shion's death.
For Coral, Miss Shion was someone she had met a very, very long time ago. Although she had always held a longing and admiration for her, she actually didn't know how amazing Miss Shion was or what kind of person she was.
She checked it several times, and even saw the video recording from the Hyacinth.
Judging from the fact that Ms. Shion was ultimately killed, the battle in the video was almost obvious.
Miss Shion was being relentlessly suppressed; the boy in the fox mask was incredibly strong, giving Miss Shion no chance to catch her breath.
Without a doubt, the other party possesses the ability to kill Miss Shion.
Although she was just Bud magical girl, not powerful and rarely fought, she still understood the situation.
Finally, the crystal ball shattered, and Miss Shion's final, all-out attack failed to kill her opponent.
They'll probably be at the mercy of others.
How desperate and painful must Miss Shion have been at that time?
She couldn't imagine it, because she herself was in excruciating pain from just a little experiment.
Although the Witch Association kept announcing that Shion had been Si Motu, Hyacinth- senpai didn't seem to care at all.
Perhaps it's because Ms. Shion and Hyacinth aren't very familiar with each other.
But for Coral, it was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue.
She didn't want to talk to Hyacinth about Miss Shion because she probably didn't know what had happened and couldn't understand what Miss Shion meant to her.
Coral became a magical girl because of the Magical Girl Shion.
Hyacinth is already troubled enough; I shouldn't bother her with my own affairs and add to her worries.
After all, there's not much the Hyacinth can do.
It wasn't until Si Motu arrived that it was revealed that this so-called head of the East China region was actually a big shot in the Witch Association.
That's the person who murdered Miss Shion.
She had been pretending to be asleep, waiting for her chance.
Waiting for the opportunity to avenge Miss Shion!
She seized the opportunity, successfully achieved her goal, and dealt a heavy blow to the murderer...
That's how it should be; it should have been a perfect victory for her.
But, Si Motu has become Miss Shion...
That petite and agile figure, that adorable face that seems unreal even in a dream—it was undoubtedly him.
After Shion chased the Splash until it disappeared, she looked at the mess on the playground and at the school, and then glanced at the silent Hyacinth beside her.
" Hyacinth, senpai, what should I do? Will Miss Shion be angry? Will she hate me? I actually wanted to avenge her, I, I didn't mean to lay a hand on her, why, why did it turn out like this..."
As I spoke, I felt like crying.
Meanwhile, in Hyacinth's dazed eyes, there was only a sigh, "Me too, Coral."
After Shion went to the Mirror World, she didn't return for a long time, and the sirens of the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau could even be heard outside.
Just as Hyacinth began to worry about whether there was any danger, a huge virtual screen suddenly popped up in front of her.
I was startled, but upon closer inspection, it seemed to be a virtual screen from the Mirror World.
Hyacinth had naturally seen these things before; Splash had shown them to her.
However, the content on that virtual screen is clearly somewhat strange.
Do you want to know the meaning of life?
Do you want to truly To Live?
The flashing "yes" and "no" immediately set off alarm bells in Hyacinth's heart, making her wonder if the people of the Land of Mirrors were up to something.
Suddenly I noticed that the "yes" button above had been clicked.
The Hyacinth was startled and immediately turned around to look.
Sure enough, a virtual screen appeared in front of Coral, who had just clicked "yes".
"You..."
Coral scratched her head, "Oops, I accidentally pressed it..."
... It was clearly intentional, wasn't it? How could it be an accident?
It doesn't really matter, the problem is--
Why are the screen options universal? She clicked one, and I Qidian. Isn't that a bit unreasonable?
Are these options also offered as chain stores?
Sensing that the surrounding environment was somewhat unstable, the Hyacinth immediately grabbed onto the Coral.
A sudden dizzying sensation!
They were probably forcibly sent into the Mirror Space.
Hyacinth have experienced this before...
But when everything calmed down and I opened my eyes, I found that I was not in the Mirror World.
A huge sphere of light slowly rotated above, its blinding radiance creating a considerable sense of oppression.
However, the purple-haired magical girl sitting high beneath the sphere of light had her head slightly tilted, her right hand supporting her cheek, and her legs crossed. Her face was obscured by the bright light, making her appear mysterious and majestic.
Welcome to the Main God Space.
