Chapter 12: Equal Hope and Curse
Chapter 12: Equal Hope and Curse
Seeing that the wedding ceremony is coming to an end,
The witch still didn't move, and she didn't see anyone who seemed to be about to commit suicide
If it weren't for the fact that I saw the soul gems flickering more often,
Xiao Meiyan almost thought she was in the wrong place,
In the end, Xiaomei Ye made a decision:
Xiao Meiyan went out to wander around the church, searching for witches according to the reaction of the soul gem,
Xiaomei stayed behind to watch over the ignorant crowd in the church,
On the one hand, we can't sit still,
On the other hand, Xiao Meiye guessed,
The witch who can hide her traces like this is likely to have noticed something,
or in a cautious manner,
I don't want to go head-to-head with two magical girls whose strength is unknown. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Some people may think that Xiaomei is really thinking too much,
How can a witch be so clever, it's just a bunch of crazy people~
But this is a battle of life and death, not a house wine,
I'm not afraid that you will think too much, but I am afraid that you will ignore it,
A little common sense can guess,
Maybe the little details you overlook can make the difference between life and death.
What's more, Xiaomeiye, who knows all the truth, is even clearer
The witch is not a madman,
Strictly speaking,
Witches can deceive people's hearts because they know the dark side of people's hearts,
Can you know people's hearts well, and even use them, can your IQ be low?
It's just that this kind of bewitchment is useless to magical girls, and they can only speak with strength,
will have the illusion that "witches have no brains".
"Speaking of which, my 'heart' is just borrowed, this fragile thing......
Standing on the second floor of the church and looking down at the lively crowd below,
When I was pondering, I unconsciously thought of my "life experience"
Even the 'heart' is borrowed, so what is oneself?
Demons? Can you still be considered a demon with a 'heart'? The witch can't even talk about it.
Mankind? If you do a body sample collection, absolutely 100% human characteristics,
But there is no deepest thing - the soul
So what is yourself?
To put it simply, it is a neurotic question like "Who am I?"
Put your right hand on your chest, bow your head and silently feel the rhythm of the vibrant name 'heart',
I don't know that such a simple action gives people a feeling of being separated from the whole world
"The name is fake, the identity is fake, even the heart is fake...... Why do I care about this, and what do I really crave? If you want to have it if you are concerned...... Do I subconsciously want to be an ordinary human being? β
It's not a feeling that comes from what you've experienced, it's an instinctive desire......
It's really ridiculous enough, and I want to vomit like this.
Staring at the imitation "soul ring" on his hand,
Xiao Meiye, who had insight into her true thoughts, smiled a little poignantly and bitterly
"I'm a demon, a demon who feeds on people, and I actually want to be a human...... Own food? I must be crazy......"
ββββ outside the churchββββββ
A jubilant crowd gathered at the door of the church,
Waiting for a new couple to come out,
Everybody's preparing,
Flying balloon ribbon petals are a must-have item for weddings.
Xiao Meiyan shuttled through the crowd and didn't find anything,
So, slightly irritated looking at the balloons that occasionally float into the sky,
At this moment, in my sight, a figure appeared on the cross at the top of the church,
The appearance is very similar to the female guest who came to the wedding ceremony, standing on the cross at this time,
As if in some kind of ceremony, hands are raised flat, and the wind blows the carefully arranged hairstyle and costumes.
"It's ......"
Seeing such an inexplicable scene, Xiao Meiyan's pupils shrank,
In the case of vision recovery is not only several times better than ordinary people,
Xiao Meiyan even saw the mole of the "Witch's Kiss" on the neck of the female guest.
When exactly did you climb up, especially with a cross that high?
Why did it appear at the top of the church, which happened to be the location of Xiao Meiyan and the others when they first arrived?
The witch doesn't attack a lot of people, but she attacks a human who is suspected of being alone?
There are a lot of questions in my heart, but time waits for no one, looking at the posture, the female guest is planning to commit suicide by jumping off the building.
Without having time to think about it, Xiao Meiyan rushed to a corner of the church, avoiding the crowd
After a momentary pause, he jumped up and caught the female guest who jumped off and committed suicide.
But the meager magic only lasted for a short while, and when Xiao Meiyan and the female guests were still hanging in midair,
The space under the two of them suddenly cracked a neat crack,
Like some terrifying creature's narrowed eyes
Revealing a bottomless "black hole"
"Bad ......"
Before Xiao Meiyan, who was immediately surprised, made the next move,
The "black hole" swallowed the two of them.
The whole process takes place in the real world for just a second.
Ordinary people are unaware.
But Xiao Meiye in the church frowned, and disappeared in an instant.
How do you feel that the witch doesn't look like she's preying on humans at all,
It's like ...... In anti-use of humans as bait to hunt magical girls?
With the same question, when Xiaomei reappeared,
It's in a world with graffiti and abstract paintings as a background,
Everywhere there are floating vanity mirrors, lipsticks, perfumes and other huge cosmetics,
Xiaomei stepped on a foundation like a miniature island,
Faustian-style graffiti-like enchantments fluttered around, but they did not initiate an attack.
"Boom-" "Boom-" "Boom-" "Boom-"
Suddenly, a series of thunderous explosions came from below, mixed with the "sudden" sound of light machine guns from time to time.
Xiaomei looked down at the night,
Bright blue sparks erupted in the middle of a large area of eyebrow pencils and scissors, emptying a considerable area.
What can produce such power should be caused by the serial detonation of high-explosive grenades.
It seems that although Xiao Meiyan was pulled into the enchantment, it was not a big deal, but it seemed to be in a bitter battle.
Xiaomei jumped down at night, and instantly finished dressing on the way,
Different from Xiao Meiyan's black, white and gray dress, the round shield and the soul gem on the back of the hand,
Dawn Night is a soul gem that rejects almost all other colors of pure white dress, diamond-shaped shields, and watch styles.
At the same time, he drew a tooth-like scythe from the diamond-shaped shield,
kept flashing, and soon appeared beside Xiao Meiyan,
A few arcs of light crossed, and the demon who was still chasing Xiao Meiyan turned into tiny pieces.
The two fought and retreated, temporarily clearing a safe area
"How are you doing?"
"It's okay, it's just this person......"
As she spoke, Xiao Meiyan looked at a young and beautiful woman in her left hand in embarrassment.
At that time, letting Xiao Meiyan go out for a walk was also the result of careful consideration.
On the one hand, let her accumulate on-the-spot adaptability, and on the other hand, it is also to lure out the witch
After all, sometimes stop this kind of anti-heaven skill, even if you encounter an emergency, it is more than enough to protect yourself.
But to Xiaomeiye's surprise, she actually carried a "drag oil bottle"?
"Prey targeted by a witch? Why bring in an enchantment to cause trouble for yourself? Xiao Meiye frowned a little unhappily
"It's not that I deliberately burden myself, it's just that it happened suddenly, and I was dragged into the enchantment as soon as I saved this person." Xiao Meiyan explained with a wry smile.
"In this case, I will dispose of the witch this time, and you will protect this person"
"Be careful yourself!"
"Yes"
After saying that, the two quickly jumped away, and were smashed into pieces by the peak surging up on the spot
"Knock-" "Knock-" "Knock-" ......
With a loud sound like the explosion of a firecracker factory, several bullets burst into the air.
The large number of demons on the bullet track was cleared, and it happened to clear the obstacles in Xiaomei's way.
Xiao Meiyan held the unconscious female guest in one hand, and held a spear that was very incompatible with her in the other.
No, it's no longer "out of tune" to describe,
Because this spear is 184 centimeters long, it is much longer than Xiao Meiyan's height.
β Metaleater MX
Improved in the Gulf War,
A vehicle-to-combat sniper rifle (Barrett M82A1) that claims to be able to destroy a combat vehicle at a distance of 2,000 meters,
Originally, due to the strong recoil of this sniper rifle, the designer thought that the burst function was not practical, so the burst function was not added, and the steel breaker was an experimental gun after adding the burst function to this firearm.
The steel breaker is terrifying, and the recoil alone can shatter some cheap hard hats.
However, the slender girl has completely controlled it with one hand.
The girl also used the burst function. Cleverly cushioned with magic
Absorbs the terrifying recoil that can directly shatter the shoulder blades,
Translates into backward thrust,
Coupled with the momentum of jumping backwards, it instantly opened a considerable distance with the surging demons.
Then there was a series of explosions......
"Very capable~ It's really not cute at all."
Xiao Mei Ye glanced sideways in the direction of Xiao Mei Yan, dealing with the appearance of making the demon play with ease,
It's not like you're carrying a drag bottle at all
With a feeling that she couldn't explain, Xiaomei disappeared into the darkness with a scythe in tow.
On a dresser several stories high, with the help of talent sensing, Xiao Meiye quickly found the witch
From a distance, it looks like a black ball, and when I look closer, I find that it is a large mass of hair that is suspected to be a woman's hair.
The kind of abstract hair that is a building high, anyone who sees it will turn pale and disgusting and want to vomit.
But Xiao Meiye looked as usual,
"If we say that the objects that are embodied in this space are the projections of reality...... You should be a pretty girl who loves to dress up, I know, I can feel your intense pain, intense grievances and anger, but it's okay......"
Muttering to herself as if she were performing some kind of ritual, Akami Night rushed towards the witch with a giant tooth-like scythe in tow
ββ¦β¦ You're going to be redeemed, so I'm sorry to leave you for the time being. β
Even a "makeup" witch with disgusting hair is still keen to dress herself,
But unceremoniously for intruders who bother themselves to dress up.
The hair clump suddenly concave, stretching out countless tentacle-like hairs, like Xiaomei rolled away in the night,
The scythe in Xiao Meiye's hand also began to faintly emit a gradually blazing white light,
A man and a witch rushed towards each other, and time seemed to freeze at this moment.
The next second, the real world
This was accompanied by the screeching sound of a knife cutting through glass
The void seems to be cut open from top to bottom by something,
Accompanied by countless enchantment fragments,
Xiao Meiye and Xiao Mei Yan, who was holding a female guest, jumped from mid-air,
At the same time, a black cobblestone also slowly fell,
Back in the real world, the twins also change back into church uniforms.
At the same time, the "witch's kiss" on the neck of the female guest who was held in her arms gradually disappeared.
"I ...... What's up, where is this ......"
"We're the attendants of this church, you've just passed out, are you feeling better?"
Xiao Meiyan helped the female guest up,
The latter looked around, in a corner where there were not many people outside the church, and held his head to figure out the current situation
After a few seconds, he staggered up and left, and he didn't say anything, but his face was calm and terrifying.
"Her reaction is so strange, is it the sequelae of the witch's influence?"
Xiao Meiyan, who felt a little abnormal, looked at Xiao Mei Ye,
The latter watched the back of the female guest without saying a word, until he disappeared into the church door
"No, on the contrary, it's not the sequelae of the witch, but the resolute will to give up everything from the heart."
"What are you talking about?" Xiao Meiyan was puzzled
ββ¦β¦ Didn't notice? Her eyes were extremely abnormal, a dead gray, not at all bewitched......"
"Ahββ!!!h "Ahββ!!!h
Suddenly, a series of terrible wails interrupted Xiaomeiye's words, and they resounded throughout the area where the church was located.
Something happened!
The twins glanced at each other and rushed to the church, but it was too late......
It's just such a short time for the twins to communicate.
The rescued female guest took out a dagger and concentrated sulfuric acid out of nowhere,
A knife stabbed the groom's heart, and when it was pulled out again, the gushing blood gushed red even the chandelier.
The concentrated sulfuric acid was poured directly on the bride's head, not to mention, the people around him even "affected the fish pond"......
Just as everyone screamed in panic,
The bloodied female guest looked up to the sky and laughed, aiming the dagger at her heart......
"Uhh
When the panicked crowd heard this sound, they immediately reacted,
Several men rushed forward and worked together to push the murderer's female guest to the ground.
But more often than not, there was a cry,
The bride and groom's family and friends are trying in vain around a couple of newlyweds,
Looking at the groom who vomited blood and gradually lost his life,
Even the bride whose hair has been dissolved and screams like a monster covering her face,
and the crowd running and screaming in a panic
was originally a happy wedding,
It ended in an unexpected way of "the end of blood".
Xiao Meiyan, whose eyes widened in horror, didn't even hear Xiao Meiye's call,
As a last resort, Xiao Meiye, who didn't want to make any extraneous branches, dragged Xiao Meiyan away from the church.
ββββ back to the apartmentββββββ
"Don't blame yourself too much, no one would have thought that this would happen"
ββ¦β¦β
Looking at Xiao Meiyan, who was distracted and sat on the ground with her legs together,
Xiaomei shook her head for a while,
After returning from the church, he has maintained this state of not speaking, eating or drinking.
"Even if you keep feeling sorry for yourself, what good can it do if you can't change the result?"
"Why is this happening...... It's obviously to save the next person...... Why? Why did it become like this?"
Xiao Meiyan, whose eyes were blank, lowered her head and muttered to herself.
"Heh, you said this, just on the news, it's just a bloody love triangle, the male number one was born with a prince charming from a young age, and the female number one is a childhood sweetheart who lives next door, but the female number one is more beautiful than the female number one, and the third person is involved, fortunately, the female number one picks up a life, and the male number one is not so good......"
With a bit of disdain and detachment, Xiao Meiye made a short explanation.
Although I didn't understand the reason for the abnormality of this "makeup" witch until the end,
But you can roughly guess the reason why she is eyeing female guests, and it's not that she uses traps to trap magical girls
- just the resonance of a tragic fate.
"No, that's not what I'm talking about, what I'm asking is, are we really wrong to save people? Answer me, we ...... It's true...... Did you do it wrong? β
"......" Xiaomei was silent at night, this is simply a dead proposition
Save the lady and the bridegroom will die,
If you don't save the female guest, the female guest will die,
Someone will die whether they are saved or not,
It seems that all the sins have to be borne by Xiao Meiyan and Xiao Meiye.
But that's not fair to the twins,
"We're all wrong, even if we don't have a witch, that male number one will only die faster, understand?"
"Huh?" Xiao Meiyan raised her head in confusion and looked at Xiao Meiye
The latter was a little unbearable to hold Xiao Meiyan in his arms,
chin against forehead,
Slowly stroking Xiao Meiyan's long and smooth hair,
Feel the gentle breathing of the girl in her arms,
Xiaomei, who knows all the truth, almost wants to speak,
But his lips moved, and at last only a heavy sigh remained.
Xiaomei knows that [building a world where everyone is happy]
This unrealistic fantasy,
It is the most primitive dream in the depths of Xiao Meiyan's heart, regardless of the past, present, and future.
Even if everything that happened later made Xiao Meiyan concentrate on saving Madoka,
But there is still the softest piece in the deepest part of my heart,
Otherwise, I wouldn't be here...... My lord......
Xiaomeiye, who didn't know what to think of, closed her eyes and said slowly:
"Don't think too much, let him go with everything in the real world, it is precisely because of the ugly side of these people's hearts that such dangerous demons and witches will be derived, our duty is only to cure witches and demons, not to mention that Kameyuan-san, is still waiting for you, isn't it?"
Xiao Meiyan's eyes in the arms of "Madoka ......" gradually regained their vitality
"Remember the wish you made at that time? You have a mission that you have to accomplish, and even if you can't forget today, let time dilute it. β
"En......" Xiao Meiyan replied faintly,
The weak and powerless appearance made Xiaomeiye hug her tighter in distress.
This is the magical girl: while sowing hope, it is also spreading the same despair, and Xiao Miya knows very well that for Xiao Meiyan, this is just the beginning......
