The Witch's Attack, Bai Xiaoxiao Holding Hands (Three in One)

"Well..."

"Can't we really add each other on WeChat?!"

The two girls at the arcade counter looked at Mo Zhen with expectant eyes; it was the first time they had ever seen such a handsome boy in real life.

Mo Zhen's lie came out without hesitation. "Sorry, my girlfriend won't allow it."

Having said that, he turned and left amidst their reluctant gazes.

He was carrying four bottles of chilled juice when he turned around, but he couldn't find Bai Xiaoxiao, which puzzled him.

My gaze wandered around and finally landed on the dance machine, where three little ones were bouncing around.

All three of them seemed to be having a great time.

Mo Zhen then sat down on a chair at a nearby food stall, opened a bottle of juice with one hand, and took a sip.

When the three little ones were tired from playing, they wiped the sweat from their foreheads and reluctantly came to Mo Zhen's side.

"See? I wasn't lying, was I? The dance machine here is really fun, and the song library is amazing."

The white kitten chuckled softly, as adorable as ever.

Tang Xiaoyu nodded repeatedly, took a hair clip and tucked her short, dark blue hair, which was covering her eyes, behind her ear, and said excitedly, "It's even more fun than I imagined!"

Wuhua nodded, sipping her juice through a straw. "This is my first time in a place like this, it's really fun!"

As Wuhua spoke, she looked at Mo Zhen and invited, "Mo Zhen, why don't you come and play with us?"

Tang Xiaoyu nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, "Yes, yes, Senior Mo Zhen, you should join us too!"

They all didn't want Mo Zhen to sit alone waiting for them.

Mo Zhen understood what they meant, but still gently shook her head, raised her phone and said, "I'm chatting with a friend, you guys go ahead and play."

"If you don't have enough coins, I'll take you to exchange some more."

"? Oh well...

Wuhua and Xiaoyu could only nod, then took Bai Xiaoxiao to continue playing.

Mo Zhen pushed up his non-prescription black-rimmed glasses and continued chatting with Lin Xiaohong.

Lin Xiaohong: "Miss Hell, um... I just received news that the United Government is preparing to nominate me as the new head of Tianhe City. I... I... I don't know what to do."

At this moment, Lin Xiaohong was wearing her pajamas, holding her phone helplessly. She had just woken up when she received a call from the United Government.

The person on the other end of the phone said succinctly, "Lin Xiaohong, female, the Presidential Office has decided that you will be the new head of Tianhe City."

Hell: "Hmm... I guess it's because of the Witches' Association?"

Lin Xiaohong: "I only revealed the Witches' Association's plan to Mr. Merlin, because he had given me some pointers before, so I thought I'd report it to him to handle."

Mo Zhen recalled the composition of the Ministry of Magic, among whom Merlin Metal had always been the representative of the United Government.

Hell: "Then you must have been recommended by Mr. Merlin."

Although Merlin was practically sidelined at the Ministry of Magic, he still had the United Government behind him, though they usually didn't exert their influence.

The dazed Lin Xiaohong suddenly realized, "Oh, I see...!"

Mo Zhen sighed softly to herself; this child's political acumen was far too dull.

Lin Xiaohong: "But I'm still a little conflicted."

Right now, she's like the patty in a hamburger, caught in a dilemma.

On one side is the Miss Hell who saved her, and on the other side is the Ministry of Magic, which hates the Miss Hell. Her personal feelings lean towards Hell, but reality prevents her from leaving the Ministry of Magic directly.

Hell then tapped the screen. "Since I've recommended you, let's get started. We'll take it one step at a time. I'm here for you."

Lin Xiaohong's gaze fell on the last three words, "I'm here," and her eyes gradually welled up with tears.

Waaah... Miss Hell is practically an angel!

She typed quickly. "Thank you, Hell Kitty!"

Hell:"...?"

(Lin Xiaohong retracted a message.)

Lin Xiaohong: "Waaaah, I'm so sorry, Miss Hell, I made a typo!"

She quickly added a picture of a cat bowing its head as a meme.

Hell: "... Alright then."

I casually sent a head-patting emoji.

Just then, Bai Xiaoxiao and Wuhua finished their last dance. While chatting and laughing with them, she secretly glanced at Mo Zhen.

Then, she saw a helpless smile on the other person's lips.

The girl's lips slowly curled into a smile.

Just then, Wuhua, who was a little tired from playing, raised her little hand. "Xiaoxiao, Xiaoyu, let's go play the claw machine together!"

Xiaoyu nodded, "Okay, okay."

Hearing this, Mo Zhen looked up. "Claw machines? I'm good at that, let me show you."

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaoxiao puffed out her cheeks.

We arrived at the claw machine.

After inserting the coin, Mo Zhen gently placed his hand on the joystick, and an electric current instantly flowed along the outer casing and into the chip inside.

"Skynet, hack this damn machine!"

He'd wanted to do this for a long time!

"Received, sir!"

Skynet's consciousness was instantly awakened. Although he didn't understand why hacking into a claw machine would cause such excitement, he respected his master's orders.

"They really, really arrested them!!"

As the machine snatched up the largest doll with a single grab, Tang Xiaoyu tilted her head back and exclaimed in shock.

This is the legendary claw machine master!

An hour later, the girls left the arcade satisfied, each holding a large doll in their hands.

Only the arcade owner ran up to the machine after they left, scratched his head, and felt a little red-hot.

On the way back.

The four of them boarded the tram together for the return trip.

Clang! Clang!

The light rail runs on the commercial loop line.

Wuhua and Xiaoyu huddled together, exhausted. Seeing this, Bai Xiaoxiao couldn't help but yawn.

It's so cold...

The air conditioning in the carriage was blasting...

The white kitten shuddered and sent a chill down its spine.

Mo Zhen took off his school uniform jacket and draped it over her shoulders. "If you're really too sleepy, just sleep next to me for a while. We'll be there soon."

"I'm not that sleepy..."

Upon hearing the other person's words, the girl instinctively tightened her coat and put it on, finding it significantly too big for her.

Although she said she wasn't sleepy, she hesitated for a moment before snuggling closer to Mo Zhen, resting her head on his shoulder. "Idiot...!"

The girl seemed to whisper something.

Mo Zhen looked down in confusion and saw that the white-haired girl's ears were bright red, which puzzled him slightly.

Although he prided himself on being very sensitive to his younger siblings' emotional changes, he was genuinely baffled by Bai Xiaoxiao today.

I could vaguely sense that they were sulking, but I didn't know why. Was it because I hadn't played the dance machine with them?

But I really can't dance.

Just then...

"Squeak!"

The light rail suddenly braked, Bai Xiaoxiao, caught off guard, fell into Mo Zhen's arms, where he caught her.

Wuhua and Xiaoyu were startled awake from their dream and, supporting each other, managed to sit up.

While they were still filled with doubt and uncertainty.

The train suddenly suffered a severe blow and nearly derailed.

"Ah!" The crowd erupted in screams, Bai Xiaoxiao instinctively gripped Mo Zhen's clothes tightly, while her other hand reached for the Soul Gem in her pocket.

Mo Zhen then looked out of the car.

A Magic Curtain enveloped them instantly without their noticing.

"The Witch's Veil?"

Wuhua stood up in surprise. Despite being magical girls, they hadn't noticed the appearance of the Magic Curtain immediately.

This essentially means that a powerful witch or magical girl, whose magical level far surpasses theirs, has set up a trap here beforehand as the Magic Curtain unfolds.

The light rail train was frozen on its tracks, and the ordinary people inside the Magic Curtain were also frozen in thought and action by a special force.

Immediately afterward, the doors of the train where Mo Zhen and the others were located were twisted and torn apart by an invisible force.

A witch wearing a square-topped clock hat peeked out.

Upon seeing the three of Wuhua, the witch "Bubble" smiled regretfully, "~~ Only the three of you? Miscalculation, miscalculation."

"Bubble Witch?!"

Bai Xiaoxiao stood up in response and reached out to block Mo Zhen.

Wuhua and Tang Xiaoyu followed closely behind.

Without the slightest hesitation, the three transformed simultaneously, one in white, one in purple, and one in blue, their magical powers surging forth at the same time.

The reason they dared to transform directly was because the Bubble Witch's veil had frozen the consciousness of all ordinary people.

Therefore, theoretically speaking, they don't need to worry about their identities being exposed.

"Not Bubble Witch, but Witch 'Bubble'." Facing the three little ones, Bubble smiled helplessly, "Sorry, what I left here was just an automated, afterimage, originally intended to hold off Lin Xiaohong, but I miscalculated."

"There's nothing we can do but let this child play with you for a while. Once the time is up, this curtain will fall away."

As she spoke, Bubble raised her hand, and a gigantic centaur familiar slowly emerged from her shadow.

The centaur familiar lightly treaded its forelegs, holding a spiral-shaped spear.

[Time Familiar: Centaur.]

[Danger Level: B+]

[Belongs to: Witch "Bubble"]

"That's... a B+ rank familiar?!"

Wuhua's heart sank, because a B+ rank familiar was far beyond their ability to deal with.

Her danger level is only C+, Bai Xiaoxiao's is C, Tang Xiaoyu, as a newcomer, is only D+.

With such a fragile lineup, they could easily be mistaken for sisters from the third region if they were in Bubble's shoes.

Even if it's just a fleeting afterimage, it's not something they can handle.

Bubble lifted the brim of her hat and smiled, "Don't worry, I'll make sure this child holds back and doesn't kill you."

Having said that, the centaur familiar raised its spear and charged towards them through the narrow light rail carriage.

"No, it has to be done...!"

Just as Wuhua three of them were about to take action, they were suddenly horrified to discover that their bodies, like those of ordinary people, were frozen in place.

What happened...?

The three of them broke out in a cold sweat.

Bubble's voice arrived belatedly. "The Time Familiar's ability is to steal other people's time, thereby accelerating its own."

I call it "Time Plunder".

As they spoke, the Time Demon raised its spiraling spear and approached Wuhua, its face only a centimeter away...!

Seeing this, Mo Zhen, who had originally intended to pretend to be frozen in time to see what was going on, silently got up. Although Bubble said she would go easy on him, he wouldn't gamble his friend's life on whether a Witches' Association lying.

Sizzle!!

Time seemed to stand still at that moment.

No, it's not that time was stopped, but that figure was too fast.

The arm, covered in dark blue metallic armor, caught the centaur's spear in mid-air, to everyone's astonishment.

To stop its further forward thrust.

"Skynet, play a battle song for me, just for my own ears, don't play it aloud."

"Received, sir."

Suddenly, a powerful melody began to play; this song is also known as the Quicksilver Anthem.

"Your speed is not bad...!"

In that brief moment of stillness, a hint of surprise flickered in Bubble's eyes.

She never expected to encounter such a formidable speedster in this place.

No sooner had he finished speaking than the centaur familiar tried to launch another attack.

But the mysterious figure clad in blue-black Speedster Armor had already unleashed a terrifying speed in an instant.

He transformed into lightning, flashing around the centaur in the blink of an eye, and when he stopped again, he was holding the centaur's head in his hand.

He twisted it off by force.

"Bang-!!"

The centaur's body exploded, transforming into endless flowers of time that scattered and withered in the overcrowded train carriages.

The three members of the Wuhua Trio thus recovered from the "Time Plunder" state.

They almost simultaneously lost their strength, exited their transformed state, and collapsed to the ground.

The Time Demon not only stole their time, but also depleted their magical power instantly.

It can be said that if Mo Zhen hadn't suddenly made his move, the three of them, Wuhua, would have been wiped out by that Time Demon's spear with a single shot.

"Thank goodness..."

Their gazes all fell on the speedster.

Bai Xiaoxiao suddenly exclaimed anxiously, "Brother?!"

"Where are you?!"

She turned around in a panic, but couldn't find Mo Zhen. Her eyes immediately welled up with tears, and even the magic power within her began to tremble.

I'm here.

At this moment, Mo Zhen, wearing the Speedster Armor, spoke helplessly, his voice deep and oppressive, like an evil demon god from Subspace.

He lifted the centaur head in his hand, looked at it with disgust, and tossed it aside.

"You... you're Mo Zhen?"

Wuhua opened her mouth in disbelief.

Bubble smiled knowingly; she had personally witnessed Mo Zhen complete the armor donning.

"What's your code name?" she asked, tilting her head.

Mo Zhen tilted her head slightly. "Lucifer."

"Lucifer? A good codename."

Bubble's smile remained unchanged as she gently pulled down her hat brim, "I'll remember you, Mr. Lucifer. See you again sometime."

With that, the Bubble's afterimage shattered abruptly; the magic she had set up there was only enough to control one familiar.

After she disappeared, the large-scale Magic Curtain she had created also dissipated.

Seeing this, Mo Zhen recycled the Speedster Armor into nanomaterials.

The music in my ears suddenly stopped.

After the curtain disappeared, the ordinary people around them fell to the ground, looking completely bewildered and having no idea what had just happened.

All I remember is that the tram suddenly jerked, causing everyone to fall.

Only Bai Xiaoxiao and the other two still clearly remembered what had just happened.

The black-haired, blue-eyed boy didn't rush to explain. He simply picked up Bai Xiaoxiao's phone from the ground, handed it to her, and then said, "Keep this a secret for now, okay?"

"Uh-huh!"

Both Wuhua and Xiaoyu nodded vigorously.

Only Bai Xiaoxiao kept staring at Mo Zhen, seemingly lost in thought.

The train service resumed quickly.

When they arrived at the next stop, the four of them got off the bus. After thanking Mo Zhen sincerely, Wuhua and Xiaoyu hurriedly turned and left.

Bai Xiaoxiao hesitated for a long time before slowly asking, "Brother... when did you awaken your superpowers?"

Although he had previously learned from Moro that his older brother might awaken superpowers.

But she never expected her brother's superpowers to be so amazing.

The sheer speed at which he annihilated the centaur familiar was already unbelievable to her.

Mo Zhen led her home. "It was about two days ago."

As he spoke, his gaze swept over the white-haired girl beside him. She was wearing an obviously ill-fitting coat and was short, only about 152 cm tall.

As he walked, his little brown leather shoes followed one step after another, sometimes deliberately stepping into puddles, like a child who never grew up.

"But you, when did you become a magical girl?"

Hearing Mo Zhen's words.

Bai Xiaoxiao awkwardly replied, "It's been like this for a long time..."

Mo Zhen then changed the subject, subtly probing, "I've heard that every magical girl makes a wish when she awakens. What's your wish?"

Bai Xiaoxiao didn't say anything upon hearing this, but suddenly grabbed Mo Zhen's hand.

The girl, carrying her handbag, kept walking home.

It seems you made a truly extraordinary wish.

Mo Zhen thought this to herself, then grasped the other person's small hand in return, and together they returned to their front door.

The two finally stopped under the warm yellow streetlights.

Bai Xiaoxiao still held onto Mo Zhen's hand tightly, refusing to let go.

Drop!

Suddenly someone gently honked the horn, startling the two people.

Mo Zhen turned around.

They then discovered that a bright red Rolls-Royce Spectre had somehow ended up parked on the road in front of their house.

Mo Jin'an leaned out from the driver's seat. "You're back so late?"

Upon seeing him, Bai Xiaoxiao's ears turned red, and she quickly pulled her hand away from Mo Zhen, stammering, "Y-you, you, why are you back!"

Her forehead was sweating, she was extremely nervous, afraid that what had just happened might cause Mo Jin'an to misunderstand something.

He quickly comforted himself:

It should be fine, they're siblings! Between siblings... holding hands isn't a big deal, right? The older brother certainly won't suspect anything..., will he...?

"Big brother? Why are you back?"

Mo Zhen remained calm, because he had no idea what Bai Xiaoxiao was thinking.

Although he was adopted by Mo Chou from outside and they were not related by blood, he always regarded Bai Xiaoxiao as a proud and spoiled little sister who needed to be taken care of.

Mo Jin'an opened the car door. "I've been waiting for you for a long time."

The young man's gaze followed Mo Zhen and he knocked on the hood of the car. "Mo Zhen, I have something I want to ask you. Get in the car first."

Mo Zhen could only look at Bai Xiaoxiao: "Why don't you go back first?"

Bai Xiaoxiao didn't want to listen. Upon hearing this, she ran over, opened the car door, sat in the back seat, and clutched her uniform bag. "I want to hear too!"

With no other option, Mo Zhen and Mo Jin'an exchanged a glance and finally got into the passenger seat.

Mo Jin'an closed the window before speaking, "You've met with Moro?"

Mo Zhen nodded.

Mo Jin'an's gaze turned serious, his fingers lightly tapping the steering wheel. "Do you know who he is Mo Zhen?"

He was slightly irritated because he couldn't reveal his identity, so Mo Jin'an couldn't directly say that he was Red Owl.

The only way to persuade Mo Zhen is through Mo Jin'an's identity, to stop contacting Moro.

Mo Zhen replied, "The chairman of Colossus? The godfather of the superhero era? The sharpest sword of capitalism?"

Mo Jin'an shook her head. "Neither."

"Moro von Hermann, he was a madman who attempted to lead all of humanity into a so-called new world single-handedly."

Mo Zhen frowned, as if she had been startled.

Mo Jin'an sighed, reached out, and took off the black-rimmed glasses from Mo Zhen's nose.

He looked directly into the boy's blue eyes. "Mo Zhen, listen to me, okay? Stay away from Moro."

He will only hurt you.

Mo Jin'an dared not think about what would happen if one day, her most cherished family members became like Moro, who treated human life as worthless.

How much pain he must be in.

When Red Owl, a believer in "the law," sees his family members arbitrarily taking the lives of others for their so-called ideals, what choice will he make?

Should I send my younger brother to prison?

Red Owl didn't know.

Perhaps if that day ever comes, he will choose to personally supervise the other person, thus taking on the responsibility of being an older brother.

"OK...

Under the watchful eye of his elder brother, Mo Zhen finally nodded.

But in reality, he didn't take the matter seriously at all; he was just pretending to be obedient.

I'm sorry, brother, but my personality and system mean we're not meant to be.

For Mo Zhen, as long as there is profit to be made, he will not hesitate to throw the so-called law to the back of his mind.

Mo Jin'an wondered if she had noticed Mo Zhen's little scheme.

She vigorously rubbed her younger brother's head, then looked at Bai Xiaoxiao in the back row. "Are you hungry? Xiaoxiao, I'll take you guys out for a late-night snack."

Bai Xiaoxiao listened for a long time and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that her older brother was not investigating the matter of her and Mo Zhen secretly holding hands.

And so, three people, three different thoughts.

"I'll give Xiaochuan a call."

Mo Zhen took out her phone and called Mo Xiaochuan.

A moment later, Mo Xiaochuan came running down from the second floor.

"Alas!"

He climbed into the car. "Great! Let's go get some barbecue, bro! I want a big skewer of lamb! I heard it's really delicious!"

"Hey friend, my barbecue is as big as an eagle!"

Bai Xiaoxiao awkwardly facepalmed, finding it hard to believe that this husky-like guy... was actually his older brother. "Mo Xiaochuan, can you tone down that awkward accent?"

"Hmph, what do you know!"

Mo Xiaochuan ignored her. The two siblings had gradually reached the stage of disliking each other, which was an inevitable stage for every family with multiple children.

Upon hearing this, Mo Jin'an smiled helplessly, started the car, and slowly drove out of the community.

He only brought the three little ones back after they finished their late-night snack.

Bai Xiaoxiao clung to the side of the car. "Big brother, aren't you staying home tonight?"

Mo Jin'an shook his head in the car. "I still have to work overtime, maybe next time."

Upon hearing this, Mo Zhen felt relieved. To be honest, he was a little afraid that his older brother would transform into Red Owl in the middle of the night and have a heart-to-heart talk with him.

That's truly terrifying.

Mo Jin'an slowly drove away.

At that moment, Mo Xiaochuan suddenly remembered something, staring at the departing taillights, and asked Mo Zhen, "Brother, that car must have been quite expensive, right?"

Mo Zhen was somewhat uncertain. "Including the luxury car tax and customs duties in Taiping Prefecture, it might be a little over a million US dollars?"

Mo Xiaochuan and Bai Xiaoxiao were both startled. "Over a million? In US dollars?"

This sum of over a million US dollars is nothing to the Owl Group, but it's still terrifying for Mo Xiaochuan and his partner.

Mo Zhen silently covered for her older brother. "Maybe it's a company car. I heard you went to one of the world's top firms."

"I see... that scared me to death."

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief. They had no idea that Mo Jin'an was Red Owl; they thought he was just an intern at the law firm. Back home, after Mo Jin'an interrupted her, Bai Xiaoxiao took a shower and went to her room, hugging a cushion and contemplating life.

After witnessing Mo Zhen's sudden display of superpowers, she felt a little happy but mostly awkward.

Bai Xiaoxiao had always thought that once she became a powerful magical girl, she could take care of her brother.

This could also make my brother more dependent on me and unable to live without me.

But now, that wish seems to have fallen through.

The thought that Mo Zhen might not need her protection at all in the future made Bai Xiaoxiao feel a pang of sadness and bitterness.

Because if that were the case, my brother wouldn't need me anymore!

For Bai Xiaoxiao, this was a psychological void, because she realized that with her current strength, she seemed unable to protect and possess Mo Zhen exclusively...

This made her feel deeply uneasy.

With his current abilities, even without me, he could live a carefree life, right?

Besides, he's so good-looking, finding three or four girlfriends wouldn't be a problem for him.

Even if she protested, what would it amount to? Did she expect her brother to give up dating for her sake?

What right does she have to protest?

The girl huddled under the covers, silent, her eyes gradually darkening.

"If only I were even better."

"That way, my brother can stay by my side forever..."

The girl was lost in thought, and unknowingly, she planted an obsession within herself.

At the same time.

Mo Zhen was tidying up Bai Xiaoxiao's clothes in the bathroom, sorting them by underwear and outerwear before throwing them into different washing machines.

Then I went back to my room to check the news.

Knock knock~!

Suddenly, someone gently knocked on the window of the room.

Mo Zhen turned around in confusion and saw Scarlet Spider hanging upside down there. "Hey, can we chat for a bit?"

As she spoke, Scarlet Spider picked up a bag from a bakery containing a box of small cakes. "Look, I also brought a gift for your visit. Your friend told me you like sweets."

Mo Zhen: "..."

He opened the window and demanded, "Really? Which friend said that?"

Scarlet Spider paused, then said, "Uh, well, anyway, it's a friend!"
