The tram tracks turned into staves, the metal wheels seemed to beat notes, and the space became a huge concert hall that was constantly spinning, and an orchestra of blue humanoid demons was playing.

Kyoko looked around and found a figure that was falling, and immediately transformed into a magical girl, holding a spear and screaming and rushing over.

"Sayaka!"

The wheels shot at each other, and the apricots dodged deftly, moving forward while picking the wheels flying. In the end, she threw away her spear, flew over and hugged Sayaka's body, looked at the half-human, half-fish witch in front of her, and shouted, "Bastard, what the hell did you do to Sayaka?"

With a miserable cry, the mermaid attacked again, and the overwhelming wheels shot in, leaving the apricot in a state of embarrassment. Without the spear, she couldn't resist, and she was about to be hit, so she could only turn around and protect Sayaka in her arms, trying in vain to resist the attack.

At that moment, a sharp shot rang out, and the bullets knocked off the wheels. Xiao Meiyan appeared on the floating railroad tracks and said coldly, "Stand back!"

Without giving Apricot time to react, Xiao Meiyan suddenly disappeared from the place, and when she reappeared, she was already in front of the witch, and the grenade exploded instantly after it was thrown, and the huge heat wave brought a strong wind, but Xiao Meiyan was already standing beside Apricot.

This series of operations is so smooth that it doesn't even take a second, as if it is forcibly strung together one by one, and it has long been out of the category of speed.

Apricot hugged Sayaka with surprise on her face: "...... the hell you"

But Xiao Meiyan didn't answer, but stretched out her hand: "Hold on to me!"

"What?"

"There's no time to explain, hold on to me!"

"Damn!" Kyoko grabbed Xiao Meiyan's hand, and at the same time, the shield on the opponent's left arm clicked, the gears turned, and the surrounding space seemed to be pressed to freeze, and everything remained still, even the witch.

"If you let go of my hand, your time will stop, be careful!"

After a brief explanation, Xiao Meiyan pulled the apricot and ran towards the exit of the barrier.

"Hey, what the hell is going on, where did that witch come from?"

"Didn't you witness it with your own eyes?" replied, "That witch is the girl who was once called Sayaka Miki!"

"Hmm!" Kyoko glanced at Sayaka who was being held on her shoulder, as a magical girl, she could feel the coldness on the other party's body. It was just an empty shell, and the real Sayaka was getting farther and farther away from her.

"Do you want to run away?" asked Kyoko, "Do nothing and just run away?"

"Otherwise?" Xiao Meiyan asked rhetorically: "Let's not say that you are holding a burden and unable to fight, even if you are willing to leave that corpse, what can you do to that witch? Kill her? Can you do it? It's not about emotions, but in terms of combat effectiveness, she is far superior to the previous witches, and she is not an opponent who can be defeated in a hurry!"

"Damn!" Kyoko gritted her teeth and said, "Why does this witch have such great power!"

"Because this is the real strength of the witch, what you have encountered before is just a castrated version that has been deprived of most of its strength. A familiar voice sounded in her ears, and Apricot turned her head to look at the visitor and shouted in surprise: "Yingluo, why are you here?"

"I've always been there, probably because you cared too much about Sayaka and ignored me. ”

Kyoko looked at the frozen space around her, then at her hands clasped with Xiao Meiyan, and asked strangely, "Didn't you say that time stood still, why can you still move?"

"It's just a little trick, don't care. Yingluo smiled slightly, snapped his fingers, and a bright light appeared in front of him: "Come, go this way, go out first." ”

The sound of rain sounded, and the continuous night rain outside still did not stop.

Madoka walked alone in the rain, cold and hungry, but she still didn't give up on finding her friend. Suddenly, as if she had sensed something, she raised her head and saw the scene of Apricot holding Sayaka and walking slowly with Xiaomei Yanyingluo.

The schoolbag was thrown on the ground, and Madoka stumbled over, shouting in a trembling voice: "Sayaka, why did Sayaka become like this again, the soul gem?"

Kyoko turned her head in pain, and Xiao Meiyan stepped forward and replied in an emotionless voice, "Sayaka's soul gem has become a seed of sorrow, and she herself has become a witch and then we have destroyed it!"

"Huh?" Madoka fell to her knees, her face full of sluggishness: "Liar, deceitful, right?"

"This is the Soul Gem...... No, that's the magical girl's last secret. Xiao Meiyan took out her soul gem and said, "When this stone is completely polluted and blackened, it will become a seed of lamentation, and the magical girl will also be reincarnated as a witch." This is the fate of all those who become magical girls and can never get rid of it!"

"How...... ...... like this" Tears slipped down Xiaoyuan's face, and she said tremblingly: "Sayaka obviously wants to protect everyone and become a partner of justice, but now she wants to become a witch, which is too cruel......"

"That's the price of miracles. Xiao Meiyan said: "How many people she saved in the past, how many people she will kill secretly from now on." If you don't want to repeat the mistakes of the past, the only way is to never become a magical girl!"

Kyoko put down Sayaka's corpse, turned around and grabbed Xiao Meiyan's collar, gritted her teeth and said, "Who do you think you are?

"Ah, yes, somebody died, but so what? that's what happens when you become a magical girl, and you should know that better than anyone else. It's really ugly to mess with people who are related to you. Xiao Meiyan broke away from Apricot's hand and said to Madoka, who was lying on Sayaka's corpse crying bitterly, "Now you understand, what kind of thing you are longing for." Remember this grief and don't get involved in it anymore. Since the body was brought back, let's take care of the aftermath, if you throw it casually, it will cause trouble, at least set up a tombstone to remind you not to make the same mistake at all times!"

Apricot gritted her teeth angrily: "When you say such a thing, are you still human?"

"I'm not human anymore, and neither are you. After Xiao Meiyan finished speaking, she turned around and left in the rain.

Yingluo stretched out his hand and stroked Xiao Yuan's head, and the crying stopped abruptly. She picked up Madoka who had fainted and said to Kyoko, "I'll send this child back, and Sayaka will ask you." ”

"Don't you say something?" asked Kyoko.

"There's nothing to say, you've already made up your mind, haven't you?" Yingluo said with a smile: "Do whatever you want, justice will win, right?"

"Damn justice......" Kyoko picked up Sayaka's body and disappeared into the rain.

……

Madoka didn't know how she got home, and when she woke up, she was already sitting on the bed in her pajamas.

Sayaka's experience made her feel like a dream, her best friend died like this, and the great sadness wanted to gush out of her chest, so that tears poured out uncontrollably.

"May I come in?" said Kewpie's voice outside the window.

“…… So you're still alive. Madoka replied weakly: "What Yan-chan said, is it true?"

"There are no mistakes that need to be corrected. ”

"That'...... Are you here to make everyone a magical girl in order to make everyone a witch?"

"Although that is indeed the ultimate goal, I hope you don't get me wrong, we don't have any ill will towards human beings, all this is to extend the life of the universe. After answering, Kewpie asked rhetorically, "Madoka, do you know the word 'entropy'?"

"That's ...... What?"

"Let's give you an example. Kewpie said, "The energy produced by burning a tree is far less than the energy consumed by the growth of a tree." In other words, energy is always losing one-sidedly, and the entire universe is constantly evaporating. We're here to find energy that isn't bound by the laws of thermodynamics, and what we've found is the magic of a magical girl. ”

“…… Magic?"

"Our civilization has discovered that the emotions of intelligent life forms will change the basic energy of the universe, and in the process, it will release huge amounts of energy, which can completely make up for the loss of the universe. But the irony is that we don't have emotions per se, so we investigated the races of the universe and eventually found the earth and the human race. ”

"By using human emotions to transform basic energy, the universe can also be sustained by obtaining great new energy. According to our calculations, the highest extraction rate is the girl in the secondary sex period, the most ideal emotion is the conversion of hope and despair, you who become the soul stone can be said to be the embodiment of hope, when you are filled with despair and become the seed of lament, you will release a huge amount of energy, and my task as an incubator, is to recover those energy. ”

"So...... We're just consumables, we're just going to ...... Died for you?"

"It's not for us. Kewpie replied: "There are countless civilizations in this universe that are competing or merging, and the amount consumed in an instant is an astronomical amount. You humans will one day enter the age of the universe, and if an exhausted universe were to be handed over to you, you will probably not be happy. So you are not sacrificing for us, you are sacrificing for the whole universe, for all mankind, you are very noble people. ”

"Don't be kidding, if this universe needs these stupid girls to save it, then the gods will not have to commit suicide one by one in shame!"

A familiar voice sounded, Xiao Yuan turned his head and looked at the person in surprise: "Yingluo...... Classmates?"

"Yo, that's me. Yingluo waved his hand to say hello, and then said embarrassedly: "I drank your mother just now, and now she is holding the toilet and vomiting, I think it's better to save your own mother than to save the universe." ”
