Chapter 23: Anomaly
Countdown to the Witch's Night: 5 days.
Dropping the last machine gun, Lin Xuan stood up and looked around-
It took three days, and finally helped Xiao Meiyan check all the weapons. Although she said that there had been no problems in the previous timeline, this time there was an extra visitor from another world, and it was not impossible for any abnormalities to appear.
(After that, it's time to set up the scene...... There is also a shortage of gunpowder left, and the witch's special resistance to munitions also needs to be considered, but I don't know if it will be the same...... οΌ
In the midst of a deep groan, the girl suddenly appeared in front of her.
After confirming the partnership with Xiao Meiyan, Lin Xuan is responsible for preparing for the battle for the arrival of the witch's night, while Xiao Meiyan continues to protect Madoka Shikame - in this situation, Kewpie may take advantage of the gap at any time.
Xiao Meiyan looked at Lin Xuan with a complicated expression: "...... Madoka wants to meet you. β
Lin Xuan was stunned, but he clearly remembered that he hadn't appeared since he left nine days ago, how did Lume Yuanxiang know that he was here?
ββ¦β¦ I told her "
Lin Xuan's brows furrowed.
After a long time, he sighed: "I know, I'll go-"
"Lin Xuan......" familiar voice.
After a pause, he closed his mouth and looked in the direction of the entrance.
ββ¦β¦ Long time no see, Madoka"
ββ¦β¦ Why ......"
Deviate from the line of sight.
"Na, Lin Xuan, why...... When Sayaka-chan needed help the mostβ"
"Sorry, I have my reasons"
"Eh......"
"I said it at the beginning......" Lin Xuan's tone was flat: "Her ending was already doomed when she made that wish"
ββ¦β¦ Lin Xuanjun, aren't you sad at all......" The girl covered her mouth and slowly retreated, as if she knew Lin Xuan for the first time: "Sayaka-chan...... She's dead, and apricot jam ......."
ββ¦β¦ Now is not the time to focus on those who have died, there is more important-"
Helplessly staring at the girl's departing back, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he turned around.
"You did it on purpose, didn't you?"
Xiao Meiyan couldn't see any expression on her face: "...... Madoka will grant any request. β
He glanced at Xiao Meiyan deeply.
"In the next few days, I will go to the place where the witch's night may appear" Carrying a large backpack and lifting two swords: "...... Instead of holding each other back at that time, let's go our separate ways. β
The girl's delicate body trembled, but she did not speak.
After a long time, the footsteps gradually faded away.
ββ¦β¦ Sorry, really...... Sorry ......"
"If you're sorry, why don't you explain it clearly?" The scarlet pupils stared at the trembling girl: "If it were him, he would never give up cooperation with you for this reason, after all, Lin Xuan is an existence whose reason is definitely greater than his feelings."
ββ¦β¦ Shut up! β
"So, I can't understand human values" flicked his tail, and Kewpie disappeared into the darkness.
ββββββ Split ββββββ
The sleek wind blew the robes to the hunting sound, and the eyes were taken off the screen.
Not only the owners of extraordinary cognitive powers, but also ordinary people in general have begun to perceive them. It's just that what Lin Xuan felt was an extremely powerful distorted energy, and what humans saw was a stormβan extremely strong storm.
The alarm has changed from mild to urgent at the beginning, and now, it has begun to consciously call on citizens to evacuate.
Flipping through the map, a dark red trail splits the city in half.
Combined with Xiao Meiyan's previous experience of encountering the Witch's Night many times, as well as Lin Xuan's observation in another city, the trajectory of the Witch's Night, its most likely route has been determined.
Unlike all the witches I've encountered before, Witch Night doesn't need to rely on enchantments to protect itself, it can be manifested in reality, and with it comes the terrifying destructive power that it doesn't take much effort to destroy a large modern city.
When he first came to this world, the shadow that Lin Xuan saw in that distorted and broken space was the night of the witch.
The worst case scenario is that ordinary humans can't recognize its existence at all, which also puts Lin Xuan's idea of relying on the country's military power to deal with it.
However, although the national military force cannot be relied on to deal with the witch's night, but-
Weapons, but they don't have unrecognizable attributes.
Humanity creates weapons and is destroyed by them, and for modern weapons, what is needed to attack is not a definite enemy, even if it is a void, as long as the trigger is pulled, the result is no different.
If you simply rely on Lin Xuan to plunder, you won't be able to get many modern firearms in a short period of time, but Xiao Meiyan is different, time stops against witches, maybe it's not very powerful, but it's excellent for stealing things.
Lin Xuan, who obtained a firearm from Xiao Meiyan, directly laid a large number of traps on the trajectory of the witch's night - unfortunately, there were no nuclear weapons.
Tear the map apart and scatter debris in the wind.
"And ...... Three days"
ββββββ Split ββββββ
Countdown to the Witch's Night: 14 hours.
Violent winds swept away almost everything that could move in the streets.
The entire city, except for a few fixed shelter basements, was deserted - except for magical girls and visitors from another world.
After checking the layout of the route one last time and making sure that there were no leaks, the detonating device was put away.
"Aren't you going to stay with Madoka Kame?"
I don't know when, Xiao Meiyan appeared behind her.
ββ¦β¦ Madoka already knows the true face of Kewpie, and she will not rashly sign a contract with it."
"You didn't say that before" Turning around, Lin Xuan said to the girl expressionlessly: "So, what's the matter?" β
"Where will you go after defeating the Witch's Night?"
Lin Xuan couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this: "That's it?" β
The girl looked at Lin Xuan in silence.
His brows furrowed slightly, and he said for a long time: "If nothing happens, I will leave this world...... Don't worry, I won't be in front of Madoka Kame again."
The hands behind his back were clenched: "...... I see."
The next moment, it was already empty in front of me.
(inexplicable...... οΌ
Shaking his head, Lin Xuan once again focused his attention on how to deal with the upcoming Witch Night.
