Ever since she became a magical girl, she went back in time, and reunited with Madoka, who died in the previous week, Xiao Meiyan was immersed in great joy, she felt that her wish had come true, and she was no longer the waste that had been protected by others, and she could also fight with everyone and use her own strength to protect the people she valued.

However, reality soon taught her a cruel lesson, on the third night after the reunion, in the first witch encounter, she didn't do anything, even if she had the ability to pause time, she was still helpless in the face of the witch, so she could only hide behind, helplessly watching Asami and Madoka go to fight the witch.

In the end, she is still the one who is protected.

"Don't fantasize about ascending to the sky in one step, although the reunion of the dead and the afterlife is a touching reunion, but with your current strength...... If Asami's combat power is 500, Madoka is 200, and you, even if it is a time pause, are only 30 at most, this kind of power can't even protect yourself, and if you want to protect others, it's still far away. ”

After the war, when she returned to her residence, Gu Ming Dijue also poured cold water on her in a timely manner.

This makes Xiao Meiyan's mood become depressed, and she also realizes that the joy of reuniting with Madoka makes her ignore the dangers that accompany the miracle of the magical girl, and after this, the night of despair of the witch.

Although Sister Bama is very strong and Madoka is also very powerful, but the experience of the last week has already told her that she can't defeat the Witch's Night with only those two people, and the only one who can make changes is herself, and if she is still immersed in joy and ignores the danger, she will still usher in the same ending.

Have to...... Get Strong!

"So, how do I get stronger?"

Since that day, Xiao Meiyan has been thinking about this question.

During the day, she was tested by Ba Momei at school, trained with Madoka, and when she returned home at night, she had to receive special training from Gu Ming Jijue, and she had almost no time to rest throughout the day, and even her sleep was reduced.

It's hard work, but the progress is also obvious.

At least through this period of special training, she has been able to use her time ability more proficiently.

Her time ability is generally divided into two kinds, the first is to go back in time, allowing herself to go back to a certain point in time in the past, but it is not something that can be used at will, it is a prayer-type ultimate, and going back to the past means that everything that happened during this time is completely gone, and it is difficult to come in handy in battle, and she doesn't want to use it easily.

As a result, there is only a short time left to stop when it can be applied to combat.

However, the enemy in the time stop is not harmed, she was only a sick girl before, even after becoming a magical girl, her body has improved a little, and her own strength is not enough to kill the witch, and she must use external weapons.

Firearms!

Under the influence of the chat room, this is the first weapon that Xiao Meiyan considers, it is powerful, easy to use, and easy to obtain. After all, there are gangs in Japan, and these gangsters will have a certain inventory of firearms, in addition to Japan's Self-Defense Forces and the US military stationed in Japan, as long as time is suspended, more and stronger modern weapons can be taken by her.

"Beretta 92 pistol, Desert Eagle, grenades, flashbangs, C4 explosives...... And directional mines, Gatling...... Well, this one is better not needed, right? Anti-tank bazooka...... I'll talk about that next time. ”

That night, Xiao Meiyan went to a U.S. military base in Japan, and looted a large amount of equipment under the noses of a group of U.S. soldiers, and she didn't have to worry about storing it, because the metal shield in her left hand could store a large number of items, which was even more convenient than the favorites in the chat room.

However, Xiao Meiyan still feels a little pity, weapons like Gatling and rockets should be very effective against witches, unfortunately, with her current physical strength, she can't hold such a heavy Gatling, and the use of rockets still needs to be learned, maybe when her body gets better in the future, and she has enough knowledge of modern arms, she will be able to use them at that time.

All in all, these weapons should be enough for tonight.

After everything was collected, Xiao Meiyan walked out of the arsenal, and while closing the door, she bowed slightly to the several American soldiers guarding the door, and said shyly: "That...... Thank you for the gift. ”

Then she ran away in a puff of smoke, and it was not until she was far away from the US military station that she carefully untied the time pause.

At this time, Xiao Meiyan was still a little restrained and uneasy, after all, this was stealing from a US military base, and taking arms from gangsters was of a completely different nature, which was indescribably thrilling.

Of course, as Tang Hao said, as long as you gradually get used to anything, you will become numb.

After waiting a few times, Xiao Meiyan became a regular customer of the US military base, and it is estimated that she will be able to become very calm.

"Everything is ready, let's go, come on, Xiao Meiyan!"

Xiao Meiyan clenched her fists hard, cheered herself up in her heart, and then walked forward firmly.

She knew that there were several witches lurking in the city, and some witches would attack girls who walked at night, especially when they were depressed, and would use their power to lure them into suicide.

Not long ago, Komin Dijue had pointed out to her which places were most likely to encounter witches, and told her not to approach them as much as possible.

Although the nature of the existence and fighting methods of witches are different from those of the monsters, for Gu Ming Jijue, these so-called witches have a certain resemblance to the fallen undead, so it is not too difficult to perceive their existence. Regarding the night of the witch that Xiao Meiyan said, she has not seen it, and she doesn't know its strength, but as far as these witches are known, she can easily solve them.

However, she didn't come to this world to hunt witches, but to help Xiao Meiyan grow, so naturally she wouldn't take away these experience packs more and more, and even when Xiao Meiyan and the witches fought, she almost never showed up, but after training, she gave some care and warnings to Xiao Meiyan.

And at this moment, Xiao Meiyan was about to step into these places that Gu Ming Dijue had warned her.

There is no Madoka and no Ba Asami.

It's just you!

Of course, she will be scared and upset by it, but she also knows that there is no gain if you don't pay, and those who don't work hard will never be rewarded, so she decided to say goodbye to her fragile self in the past, and this battle is her beginning!

Buzz –

Suddenly, there was a strange atmosphere in the air, and everything around me began to change dramatically, and everywhere you could see was a distorted sky and a distorted earth, which was completely different from the real world, as if it were ...... Feet on Van Gogh, head on Picasso.

The witch is coming!

Xiao Meiyan's eyes widened suddenly, she raised the shield in her left hand and took out her mobile phone from it.

At the same time, one distorted figure after another appeared in front of her, roaring strange music and walking with devilish steps, baring their teeth and claws at her.

Looking at the terrifying world in front of her, at this moment, Xiao Meiyan deeply realized the horror called reality.

Although she had faced the witch before, after all, she was protected by Asami and Madoka and did not experience the most real danger, until now, she finally understood that fighting the witch requires more than just courage and determination.

But—

"Time, stop!"

Xiao Meiyan gritted her teeth hard, and when the voice fell, everything fell silent.

"Didn't move again...... I can do it! ”

Looking at the motionless monsters, Xiao Meiyan became a little more confident in her abilities, and then she took out the arms she had stolen from her shield and began her battle.

The battle is not intense, because when time stops, the battle becomes a one-man show for Xiao Meiyan, first killing the monster in front of her, then finding the witch, planting various bombs and mines around it, and finally activating time to detonate these bombs.

Rumble!!

With a violent explosion, the witch finally collapsed in a wail, and with a nailing sound, something fell.

"Success?"

Looking at the witch who had disappeared, Xiao Meiyan was still a little frightened, with her body, even if it was just to arrange a bomb, it was a very physically exhausting thing. However, the battle was still smoother than she imagined, and winning so easily even made her wonder if this witch still had a second transformation?

It wasn't until I noticed the thing that fell to the ground not far ahead that I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

That's the seed of lamentation.

She'd heard Asami talk about it.

Every magical girl has a soul gem, which is the source of the magical girl's power, but if you use it too much, the soul gem will gradually be polluted, and then something bad will happen, and then you need to use the seed of lamentation, which can absorb the filth in the soul gem and restore the magic of the soul gem.

And the source of the seed of lament is the witch, according to Cuppy, the seed of lament is a reward for the magical girls after defeating the witch. Of course, the seed of lament is not unlimited in absorbing filth, and if it absorbs too much filth, it may hatch a witch again, so the only solution beyond absorbing a certain amount is to feed the seed of lament to Kewpie to eat.

In short, since the seed of lament has burst out, it means that the witch has been completely killed.

The first battle went so smoothly made Xiao Meiyan very happy, and her efforts finally paid off, after all, she also died many times when challenging the task of the training level.

Then, Xiao Meiyan got up and ran over excitedly, grabbing the seed of lament in her hand.

Then she looked at her soul gem, there was a slight filth in it, it was difficult to even notice if you didn't look closely, this little filth didn't affect the magical girl, but for the sake of safety, she still leaned the seed of lament against the soul gem and let it suck the filth inside.

Soon, that filth flew to the seed of lamentation in a form visible to the naked eye.

And at this moment, suddenly, a huge wave of information rushed to Xiao Meiyan's brain, making her involuntarily close her eyes, and immediately, countless pictures flashed in her mind like a marquee...... The picture is a young girl, in order to help others, she became a magical girl, fighting with witches again and again, but gradually, the despair in her heart grew bigger and bigger, even the seeds of lament could not suck the filth from her soul gem, and finally-

"Ahhh......h

When the picture ended, Xiao Meiyan hugged her head and screamed.

Kneeling on the ground, Xiao Meiyan's face was full of disbelief, "How could it be...... Why? Impossible...... Why is this happening? ”

"It seems that you have discovered the truth about the magical girl."

A familiar voice came from behind her, Xiao Meiyan turned her head indifferently, tears unconsciously shed in her eyes, "Miss Jue......"

Gu Ming felt that he stood there casually, and slowly stepped forward, "You said that you were going to hunt the witch alone, I didn't stop you, after all, this is your own business, but now it seems that there has been an unexpected development." ”

"Miss Jue, are you already ......?"

"I don't know." Gu Ming Dijue shook his head, "I only know a little about the things in your world, but no matter what you saw or heard just now, it is the truth. ”

"In other words, the witches actually ......" Xiao Meiyan immediately rushed over and grabbed Gu Ming Dijue's arm, "Miss Jue, please, please tell me, otherwise if it goes on like this, even Madoka will ...... her"

"I'm sorry, but I don't know much about that."

"How could it be ......?"

"Of course, there is one person who knows for sure."

……

"What, the truth about magical girls?"

When Tang Hao was about to take a bath and sleep, he suddenly received a call from Gu Ming Dijue, he turned on the voice with his hand, put the phone aside, and replied while taking a shower, "Isn't the truth of the magical girl the big battle tentacle monster, what else?" ”

"I mean seriously."

"I'm serious too...... Wait, why are you mentioning this all of a sudden? ”

Xiao Meiyan seems to be aware of it.

"Uh, that's ......"

Tang Hao's movements moved slightly, about the magical girl in that world, he had always said before, because this was the biggest black curtain, and if Xiao Meiyan knew the truth at that time, she might be hit hard. Originally, according to the normal development of the plot, Xiao Meiyan would only find out when Madoka became a witch in a certain reincarnation, but she didn't expect it...... In that case, there is no need to hide it anymore.

"That's it, you first let Xiao Meiyan gather all the related people together, and I'll explain it once and for a while."

"Okay."

……

That night, Ba Asami's apartment.

"Xiaoyan, is there something wrong with you suddenly calling us up? I'm already asleep. The senior sister Ba Asami, who had a head, wore pajamas, poured two cups of curry for Xiao Meiyan and Madoka, and drank two sips to refresh herself.

Madoka also asked, "Yes, Xiaoyan, is there anything you can't talk about tomorrow?" It's hard to come out so late and find a reason with your family. ”

"No, it's important, it's about all of our lives, and we have to know it right away!" Xiao Meiyan had a serious expression.

Ba Asami and Xiao Yuan glanced at each other, and could feel the anxiety and uneasiness in Xiao Meiyan's heart, this atmosphere also made them pay attention to it a little, and then turned their heads, Ba Asami looked at Gu Ming Jijue who was sitting not far away.

Is it related to this person?

This is the first time Ba Asami has seen Gu Ming Jijue, but she always feels that the other party is not such a stranger, especially that unique aura, which seems to have been in contact with it for a while now...... Delusion?

Gu Ming felt that he didn't speak, and silently flipped through the book.

She didn't come here to gather a crowd, but to guard against Kewpie.

When she first came to this world, she caught a Kewpie, this creature, although its own combat effectiveness is not high, it is probably at the level of a domestic cat, but it is elusive, and it also has infinite individuals, kill a Kewpie, and thousands of Kewpies stand up.

So, in order to prevent this side of the matter from being known by Kewpie, after entering the apartment, she had already opened a huge barrier so as not to leak the news.

Of course, she has no intention of communicating with anyone other than Xiao Meiyan.

Even if Asami and Madoka cast strange glances at her from time to time, she didn't care.

Jingle Bell –

Suddenly, a bell rang.

"It's coming!"

Xiao Meiyan's face changed, and she immediately took out her mobile phone from her pocket, pressed it a few times, and then laid it flat on the coffee table.

Swish!

The next moment, a light was projected on the mobile phone screen, this light was presented in front of everyone's eyes, like a projection light curtain, in the image, a man sat straight, his elbows on the table, his ten fingers crossed on his chin, when Xiao Meiyan, Ba Asami and Madoka looked up, the man also just raised his head, and said in a low and mysterious tone.

"I'm Tang Hao!"
