Chapter Seventy-Two: In Peril
As one of the basic spells, the magic barrier is a compulsory course for most magicians, even magical girls.
Barriers have many functions, one can be used as a defense against other people's magical attacks; Second, it can create a confined space, whether it is to besiege the enemy, protect yourself, insulate and silence, or act as an experimental site, it is very practical.
For example, the huge magic barrier that now hangs outside the welfare home is also an application of this technique.
It's just that Tian Sheng can't do that level, if he wants to let the magic barrier envelop such a huge complex, it is impossible to do it even if the strength reaches the step of the master, it must be done by a whole group.
Come to think of it, it's a group of people chasing after him.
He chose the one that looked the latest from the dice in his hand, and held it in his hand, and between the surging magic power, the dice lit up with fine shiny lines.
The black-robed man's hand behind him was also full of light, and immediately after, several red, burning magic bullets shot out from his hand, directly hitting the top of Tian Sheng's head.
At the same moment, when the magic bullet was about to hit, Tian Sheng handed the dice behind him, saying that it was too late, and a hexagonal magic barrier suddenly unfolded behind him.
Several magic bolts hit the magic barrier behind Tian Sheng, and almost instantly, the barrier cracked a little, emitting a tooth-sore scream as if the metal had been torn.
The technique used by the black-robed man is called the Flame Bullet, which is a common attack technique of the energy-based shaping class, and it is also considered to be more destructive than the same level of technique, and its power is far beyond that of ordinary small-caliber thermal weapons.
During the confrontation, both of them could clearly see that in addition to the fire bullets that hit the barrier, those fire bullets that did not hit hit the wall of the corridor on the side, easily smashing several deep holes.
The two techniques froze behind Tian Sheng for less than two seconds, and in the end, the flame bomb was extinguished, but his magic barrier also exploded directly.
Rumble!
The structure of the technique was shattered at the closest distance to his body, and the strong impact from the explosion of the flame bomb pushed Tian Sheng beyond his original running speed, causing him to fly into the air at the same time, and then, somewhat uncontrollably, rolled over.
Looks like that's it.
As he flew through the air, he suddenly understood this.
After he landed, the two people behind him must have prepared the next shot, and at that time, he and the little girl on his shoulder may not be able to escape.
He didn't know that the target of those people was Bai Jingxuan, but it didn't prevent him from expecting this child who was full of misfortunes in his short life of ten years to live.
In terms of surgical research, he is a rookie who cannot be called a magician; But in real life, he is a caregiver in this welfare home.
His duties as a caregiver tell him that these children who have fallen here because of their misfortunes in life deserve a happy future.
So he used his last strength, let go of his hand in the air, chose a relatively low angle, and threw Bai Jingxuan on his shoulder.
In the middle of the night, he landed first and fell to the ground, grinning in pain.
Bai Jingxuan, who was not far away, was a little better, fell to the ground sideways, and rolled along the corridor several times before stopping.
She raised her head, blinked in her gray face, and looked at Tian Sheng with some astonishment.
"Your illness won't last that long, will you?"
Tian Sheng lay on the ground and squeezed out an ugly smile at Bai Jingxuan: "Don't let Uncle Tian work hard in vain, run quickly." ”
Only then did Bai Jingxuan realize that her legs had regained some sensation a little.
It's just that, compared to her legs, which regained consciousness and regained lightness, she felt that her heart had become extremely heavy in an instant.
She's a sensible child, and she knows when and what to do.
Even if she was reluctant in her heart, she understood the current situation, understood what Tian Sheng meant, and knew that turning around and leaving was the most worthy of him.
"Thank you."
Without hesitation, she whispered, then put her hands on the ground, crawled back up from the ground, and stumbled into the distance.
Behind him, Tian Sheng grinned and watched her leave, then grabbed the dice in his hand, showed ruthlessness, and resolutely performed the next spell behind him.
Once again, the futile battle began.
Listening to the fierce colliding of techniques behind her, Bai Jingxuan almost wanted to turn back, but she still restrained this impulse, gritted her teeth and continued to run.
After a while, she finally ran to the staircase on the other side of the stairway.
It was here that she met another existence that she didn't expect.
“…… Moco? ”
She saw a pink cat-like leprechaun banging on the window outside the glass of the hallway, mouthing wide open at her, as if shouting something.
Without time to hesitate, she pushed open the window and let Moco in.
"Xiaoxuan! Whew, Whew...... I've finally found you, run! ”
Moco pounced in through the window, shouting with some excitement, then pausing for a moment to catch his breath, and then continued to shout, "I heard their conversation, and their goal is you!" ”
It brings an outdated message in an agitated tone.
"yes, got it."
Bai Jingxuan, who was also out of breath, but had no waves in her heart, nodded.
"Huh? Already got it? ”
Mo Ke was stunned at first, looking a little embarrassed on his face, then straightened his face and said seriously: "In short, now that the entire welfare home is blocked by a magic barrier, it is unrealistic to want to escape, but we can find a place to hide first!" ”
"Where to hide?" Bai Jingxuan asked a little confused.
"Huh? Don't you know where to hide? ”
Mo Ke was stunned again, and his face showed a little embarrassment, but he quickly said seriously: "Anyway, let's run first!" Those guys behind him are going to catch up again! The sound of the battle just now will also attract other bad guys! ”
It's not wrong.
Because it was also attracted by the sound of the explosion.
After discovering that the welfare home was blocked, Mo Ke's first thought was to go back to find Bai Jingxuan, but he heard the conversation of the black-robed people on the road and learned that their target was his friend.
In a hurry, he rushed to Bai Jingxuan's room, but found that it was empty, and he could only move around like a headless fly, looking for the girl's figure.
It even thought that the girl had been captured by those men, and at one point wanted to go to a more dangerous area to find out. If it hadn't been for the explosion just now, it wouldn't have been able to find it.
But unfortunately, as a goblin with no combat effectiveness, even if it successfully merged with Bai Jingxuan, it would not have any power to protect the other party except for providing Fang Cai's outdated news. After a short exchange, it could only persuade Bai Jingxuan to find a safer direction to escape.
So, after finding a direction, they ran to the third floor together.
They ran all the way to the third floor, and when they saw someone in the hallway running downstairs, they had to go to the fourth floor.
Bai Jingxuan was still running, but the scene in front of her in the corridor gradually lost its meaning.
Fang Cai Tian Sheng's actions to rescue her from the crisis reminded her of even older memories.
Her mind was no longer in the orphanage at all, but back to three years ago, in the midst of the disaster that changed her life, in the noise and screaming and the sharp pain in her left eye, she felt the arms that hugged her from the air.
In the midst of fear and chaos, that's the safest haven.
She could even remember the girl in the pink tutu that caught her eye as she struggled to keep her right eye open and tried to see what was going on.
Is that a legendary magical girl?
"Are you alright? Can you endure it for a while? ”
The girl's hair color was similar to the color of her skirt, the same reassuring cherry pink, and she looked at herself with a worried and concerned look, and with a bluff in one hand, several strange patterns that could not be seen clearly with the naked eye flew out of her hand and landed on her left eye, which was already numb to pain.
Then, Bai Jingxuan felt that she was not in pain.
She was dazed and didn't know what to say, so she could only nod softly at the girl, but she couldn't even say words of thanks.
"Well, wait a little longer, and soon you will have peace of mind."
The girl put Bai Jingxuan in her arms on the slightly flat ground: "If you're afraid, just close your eyes." ”
Then, she rose into the air again in a pink glow.
Bai Jingxuan didn't close her eyes, although she was scared and felt dizzy from blood loss, she still persistently looked at the direction the girl left, wanting to see the result of everything.
She saw the girl fly in front of the monster, she saw the girl block the monster's attack with her radiant magic, and she saw a fancy wand appear in the girl's hand.
Then, she heard the righteous and awe-inspiring words that belonged to the pink girl:
"Magical Girl, Flower License Certification Number 41055, Sakura, Destroy Mission Begins!"
It was the last scene she remembered before she fell unconscious.
The scene in her memory began to blur, and Bai Jingxuan's pace gradually slowed down.
She didn't run any longer, her speed getting slower and slower, until she finally stopped where she was.
Mo, who ran away with her, saw no one around her, and immediately turned around and saw Bai Jingxuan standing still, immediately turned back, and asked with some concern, "What's wrong?" Flare-up? ”
"Fairy ...... Moco. ”
Bai Jingxuan's thoughts gradually converged, and the scenery in front of her became clear again.
The memory left by the pink magical girl in danger is like a seed, which has been buried in Bai Jingxuan's heart. After three years, this seed has been dusted several times, and even lost its vitality, but now, in another crisis, she has found and picked it up again.
She took a deep breath and spoke, only to feel that her heart was clearer than ever:
"Please tell me, how can I become a magical girl?"
