Chapter 376: Chapter 212: The Birth of the Cinders Witch_2

“Bro, when you go home, remember to buy me some corn oil, eggs, and gluten flour in the Hongdeng Commercial District. Xiao Ling said she wants to try making a cake in the kitchen tonight.”

“Uh… with her sense of taste, can she really make a tasty cake?”

“Are you speaking human language?” Bai Zini glanced at him without amusement.

“Her sense of taste?” You Minglu was confused.

“It’s nothing.”

Ke Mingye and Bai Zini answered in unison, then looked at each other. Bai Zini said, “Just remember to buy it, I’ve already sent you the money on WeChat.”

“No need, Superheroes get paid too.” Ke Mingye said, glancing sideways at You Minglu’s puzzled face, “Well, I’m off then, You, contact me on WeChat if you have any trouble later. Although I’m not very strong myself, I might be able to come help with a big crow. He’s a model worker, he won’t stand by when bad things happen.”

“Crow?” You Minglu was startled.

“Really, no more crows, it’s bad luck.” Bai Zini hugged her shoulders, shivering.

Ke Mingye shrugged and said to You Minglu: “Goodbye.”

“Goodbye.”

You Minglu nodded, watching Ke Mingye’s departing figure.

“So… senior, why did you call me here, just to listen to your brother say thank you?” she asked.

“No, that was just by the way.” Bai Zini sighed, “What I wanted to say is… the date is set, August 22nd. By then, the Magic Girls from other countries will come to Huanjing. We’ll be spending some time with them until the Witch Church matter is completely wrapped up.”

“Then what?”

“That’s all there is, just prepare yourself mentally… I’ve heard from my master and the others that these Magic Girls have very unique personalities, to put it simply, they are not easy to provoke.”

While speaking nonchalantly, Bai Zini’s gaze shifted towards the window, watching Ke Mingye’s retreating figure until he disappeared at the end of the street, bringing her thoughts back with the honking of the street.

She came to her senses, listening to You Minglu speak.

You Minglu said indifferently, “I see, I’m an expert at observing and interpreting, I guarantee to take good care of them. First, I’ve been secretly practicing alone these days and prepared to sing ‘Huanjing welcomes you’ to them, just to let them experience our national customs.”

“No. Stay away from them, especially the Spirit Bell Child.”

“Why?”

“She’s dangerous.”

“Dangerous?”

“Don’t ask too much.”

“Okay…” You Minglu paused, “But what about the Witch Church you mentioned before? Has there been no movement so far, or do they simply not intend to take action?”

Bai Zini shook her head in silence.

“Why exactly are they after you?”

“They’re not just after me.”

“There are others?” You Minglu thought for a moment and then realized, “Oh… I get it, no wonder you said the Magic Girl from London is very dangerous. You say that because the Witch Church is also after her, right?”

Bai Zini raised an elegant eyebrow and sighed lightly: “You could guess that too?”

Hearing this, You Minglu briefly recalled. In a system announcement a few days ago, it mentioned that the Magical Girl Spirit Bell Child had killed a player.

It seems that the Magic Girls who are targeted by the Witch Church all share one common trait–they have blood on their hands, unlike other Magic Girls who uphold the principle of never killing.

“But why is that?”

You Minglu sipped her hot cocoa and wondered.

“Or perhaps… I’m wrong, and the Witch Church just thinks their bodies contain more substantial Comet Fragments than ordinary Magic Girls and Contracted Beasts, and they want to kill them to snatch the large amount of Comet Fragments inside them.”

“But what’s the point of that? The difference in the amount of Comet Fragments inside Magic Girls isn’t that significant. If I were a Witch, I would think… it’s better to kill several weaker Magic Girls than to go after these powerful ones. Not only is the risk low, but the total amount of fragments obtained won’t be much less.”

Arriving at that thought, You Minglu suddenly raised her eyebrows, another speculation forming in her mind, emerging like bubbles blown by a goldfish, slowly rising to the surface of the water.

At the same moment, an icy system announcement invaded her ears, its emotionless, chilling female voice relating a terrifying fact.

[You have unlocked the side mission of the main quest “Destroy the Magical Girl Alliance”–persist in approaching Magical Girl Ash, prevent the birth of the S-level superhuman “Ash Witch,” and take the opportunity to destroy “Witch Church – Babel Tower”.]

“Ash… Witch?”

You Minglu murmured to herself, slightly stunned.

She turned her head slightly and glanced at the girl next to her playing with her phone, goosebumps forming on her arm.

…

That night, in Huanjing, on the Wine Reflecting Coast.

Ke Xiaomo stepped into the port and looked around in the darkness, spotting someone sitting on the railing, fishing.

The figure’s back was eerily enigmatic, as if shrouded in a misty gray veil, with moonlight pouring over it from the sky.

“It’s strange, isn’t it better to chat on the phone?”

The voice of the strange thing broke the silence of the port. Amidst the noise of the waves, it spoke without turning around, “I really don’t understand you people… You could text each other, but you’re not satisfied until you meet in person. What’s the point of progressing to the information age with so much effort, or maybe… I am simply too charming, and you simply can’t wait to see me in person, oh, I get it, this is the psychology of a girl in love.”
