Sayaka is an idiot. When she saw the big black scissors with a curious and scary look cut on Wu Ke's body, it broke like a paper tiger.
There was an expression of eagerness to try on his face, and he was about to reach out and try the feeling of breaking the scissors.
There was a thud, and her head received a powerful blow from the knife.
"You bastard, why did you hit me?"
She glared at Akatsuki Homura.
"Are you an idiot? You reach for the scissors. Do you want your arms to be cut off directly and you can become a one-armed hero?"
Xiao Meiyan scolded him unceremoniously.
"Although my academic performance is not good, don't try to lie to me. I just saw it clearly..."
Before Sayaka could finish her words, she saw Xiao Meiyan pick up the laminated iron partition on the ground and throw it towards the scissors.
"呲呲呲……"
There was a tooth-aching sound, and the laminated iron partition, under Sayaka's somewhat blank gaze, was surrounded by a group of black scissors and quickly torn into pieces.
"Gudong~"
The sound of swallowing was heard, cold sweat broke out on Sayaka's forehead, and a look of fear appeared on the girl's face.
"Thank you, thank you..."
She said with a trembling voice.
Xiao Meiyan was silent, didn't say anything, and looked at Wu Ke next to her.
Wu Ke's expression was solemn, and he handed the Kyubey in his hand to the most harmless Shikama Madoka.
Shikamu Madoka, who had a small beast stuffed into him, didn't react, and Wu Ke's figure flashed.
The next moment, the beard flowers, thorns, iron thorns, and black scissors around him were caught by him who transformed into a gardener, but Wu Ke began to roll them up.
"Cough, cough..."
The familiars of Bearded Flowers and Thorns, Iron Thorns and Scissors tried to resist this disrespectful behavior befallen them.
However, the gap in strength between them was too huge, so resistance was completely futile and had no effect at all.
In the distance, a bearded flower that had not yet been involved suddenly cut off its connection with the thorns and iron barbs, and ran away from here in a crooked way.
Xiao Meiyan saw it and moved her steps, but in the end she did nothing and watched it leave.
When the surrounding curious scene suddenly burst like a bubble phantom, she said: "The witch has escaped from here."
"?"
Wu Keqing said "Hey" and found that the strange creature he held in his hand was quickly withering and dying.
In the blink of an eye, those strange creatures turned into ashes before his eyes and disappeared without a trace in his hands.
"Is this a life between fantasy and reality?"
This scene reminded Wu Ke of the little psychic alien octopuses he encountered in the world of Terra.
However, it would be wrong to say that the two are completely similar. The survivability of the small spiritual alien octopuses derived from the power of the God of the Deep in the world of Terra should be better than those in his hands, which were directly turned into ashes. Strange life forms are much stronger.
"Is the escaped witch dangerous?"
Wu Ke asked directly.
"Witches spread despair. Ordinary humans who encounter them are very likely to be killed by the despair spread by witches."
Xiaomeiyan spoke concisely and concisely.
"By the way, to add to what she said, most of the unexplained death cases in this world, except for a few that are indeed accidents, are almost all related to witches."
A voice took over Xiao Meiyan's words, and a girl walked out of the dim corridor.
The girl wore flesh-colored stockings on her legs. Her height of over 1.5 meters made her look a little too mature because of her curvy figure.
Tomoe Mami appeared with a faint and peaceful smile on her face.
"I heard Kyubey was in danger."
Asami Tomoe glanced at the Kyubey in Madoka Shikama's hand.
"Did you save this child from the witch?"
Asking this, she focused her attention on everyone again, especially Wu Ke, a slightly out-of-place male.
"No, let it get hurt..."
Xiao Meiyan was about to self-destruct, but a terrifying and depressing aura suddenly appeared, interrupting her words.
The two people present who were already magical girls had a stronger perception of the power of consciousness than Madoka Shikama and Sayaka, who were still ordinary people. For a moment, they felt like a bad wind was blowing in their faces.
Of course, this was also the reason why Wu Ke concentrated the spiritual power that enveloped the entire city of Mitakihara, and when he arrived here and scanned it without any concealment, they were able to sense it.
Otherwise, with the way Wu Ke uses his spiritual consciousness to monitor a very large area, he can completely moisturize things silently.
And this point, when he spread his consciousness unscrupulously this morning and enveloped the entire Mitakihara City, the Kyubis in this city who are very good at using the power of spiritual consciousness did not notice it at all. If there is any abnormality, it is the best proof.
"Strange, why can't I find it?"
The terrifying power of consciousness was constantly scanning the area. The bodies of the two magical girls closest to the place, Tomoe Mami and Akatsuki Homura, became a little stiff.
Fortunately for Xiao Meiyan, her current condition is not very good, so the feeling is not very obvious.
Tomoe Mami, who was in good condition, was different. She was very sensitive to external perceptions and was already trembling.
She folded her hands in front of her chest with a look of horror on her face as she looked at the muttering male over there.
Asami Tomoe felt as if she was standing here naked, with all her private parts as a girl completely exposed in front of the other person.
Whenever her consciousness swept over her body, goosebumps would pop up everywhere on her body, as if there was an ice knife scratching close to every inch of her body...
This feeling is really terrible.
Asami Tomoe reacted quickly and subconsciously tightened her legs.
And just when she was about to do something to stop the man who seemed to have done something, Xiao Meiyan spoke in advance.
"Are you looking for that witch?"
"Yeah, but I can't seem to find it."
Wu Ke looked at the girl.
"What do you recommend?"
Xiao Meiyan shook her head: "The witch is in her own barrier. If she is not caught by the tail, once she hides and does not appear, even us magical girls will have a hard time finding her traces."
As she spoke, Xiao Meiyan looked at Wu Ke's empty hand. If it were her, she would at least record the auras of those familiars to facilitate tracking and exploration...
"What should we do now?"
Wu Ke asked.
"Now, we can only wait for the other party to take action again and reveal his witch aura."
Xiao Meiyan answered.
"Is that aura with a hint of negative power the aura of a witch?"
Wu Ke asked again.
"Um."
Xiao Meiyan nodded.
Wu Ke: I’m watching...
"Why are you looking at me like this?"
Being stared at by Wu Ke, Xiao Meiyan felt a little stressed and asked.
"With all due respect, you seem to have a scent similar to that of a witch. I can feel some negative power."
Wu Ke said what he had to say.
Hearing this, Tomoe Asami suddenly looked at Akatsuki Homura.
Kyubey, who was in Shikama Madoka's arms, should have been unconscious, but he couldn't help but open his eyes.
However, Kyubey did not look at Xiao Meiyan, but at Wu Ke who said this.
"..."
Xiao Meiyan was silent for a while, then raised her hand. The time wheel in her hand spun around in front of everyone, revealing herself in the magical girl form. The soul gem on the back of her hand was revealed. It was exposed and shown to Wu Ke.
"The negative power you mentioned should be what's inside."
Wu Ke took a closer look at the black mist inside the gem on the back of the girl's hand.
"It seems like that, but does it have something to do with the witch?"
Akatsuki Homura did not answer this question directly, but she said that the magical girl who represents hope will have corresponding negative power after using magic power.
And very coincidentally, witches born from despair occasionally carry a gem called the Seed of Lament.
If a magical girl wants to replenish her magic power, she must hunt down the witch to obtain the Seed of Lament. The Seed of Lament can absorb the negative power generated in the soul gem of the magical girl.
"The black mist inside the soul gem should be from the same source as the power of the witch. As for whether there is an inevitable connection between the two, I don't know."
Kyubey: "..."
Some doubted whether this strange magical girl who was chasing him knew something about it.
After hearing this, Tomoe Mami looked at the filthy soul gem on the back of Xiaomei Yan's hand. Her body, which had been somewhat relaxed due to Wu Ke's spiritual scan, became stiff again.
Although there was no drastic change in expression on her face, the wavering in her eyes was there.
She looked at Kyubey, who was quietly watching Wu Ke and Xiaomei Yan in Shikama Madoka's arms, with some surprise.
"Do these negative forces have any impact on you?"
Wu Ke asked further.
"The soul gem is the essence of a magical girl. When the soul gem becomes dirty, it will be like me now, and it looks like it may die suddenly at any time."
Xiao Meiyan answered this question, but didn't say much else.
"Do you mind if I take a look and touch it?"
Wu Ke thought for a while and asked directly.
"..."
Xiao Meiyan's face was a little downcast. Putting aside the importance of the soul gem, did this person not hear what the main body said and couldn't understand what the main body meant?
If a man she just met asks her to touch her body, which girl would agree to such an excessive request?
"I may be able to help you get out the negative power inside."
Activate the time stop, think in the stopped time, and after some deliberation, Xiaomi Homura releases the ability to stop time.
She thought she might as well give it a try. Although the person in front of her didn't know what the situation was, but for now, it seemed that the other person didn't have any ill intentions.
Of course, what's more important is that in the last timeline, she has already seen the opponent's ability to suppress Witch Night...
"You can see and touch it, but you can't do anything damaging. Once the soul gem is broken, I, as a magical girl, will also die."
Xiao Meiyan said bluntly and glanced at Madoka Shikama next to her.
The pink-haired girl was frightened by her cold eyes and subsequent words, and couldn't help but take a few steps back.
Sayaka stood in front of Madoka Shikama, blocking Akatsuki Homura's sight. At the same time, she also unintentionally blocked Kyubey's observation from behind.
"Well, I'll be careful."
Wu Ke said something and squatted down.
He gently took Xiao Meiyan's hand and carefully observed the gem on the back of her hand, gently rubbing it with his fingers.
On the surface of the soul gem, there is a strange film that blocks the intrusion of external forces, but it seems to have no resistance to negative forces, and instead absorbs them independently.
Soon, a black thread of evil thoughts pierced into Xiao Meiyan's soul gem, and a soft humming sound came from the girl's mouth. Xiao Meiyan felt the coldness in her heart, an emotional despair, and Then it popped up.
That was not her despair, but the extremely pure negative power from outside. Xiao Meiyan's eyes widened, and she instinctively wanted to use the time roulette to get out of the other party's control.
But after trying to use power, Xiao Meiyan was shocked to find that the magical girl power she possessed was actually isolated at this moment, as if it was not her power.
[Is this some kind of rule? 】
After the thread of evil thoughts entered Xiao Meiyan's soul gem, Wu Ke had a strange feeling. This feeling was not unfamiliar to him. When the world of Xingyue touched the root of the world, he held the Star Cup in the world of Alteshu. , he had a similar feeling.
[Rules, the power of time? ! 】
Wu Ke was a little stunned. He remembered the girl's arm in front of him. For a moment, he seemed to feel something strange. It was like a movie that was missing a few frames. Even he didn't capture the movement of the girl's arm. Subtle changes in spatial location.
[Manipulation of time, is this the power of magical girls? 】
Wu Ke thought this way, and had a feeling that he could use the things he touched with his fingers to activate this power of time manipulation, but he did not try to do that. He knew very little information and was not sure. So what exactly will happen?
If something bad happened, it would be really bad. Wu Ke just manipulated the black thread of evil thoughts that entered the soul gem, turned it into a small black snake, and began to carefully swallow up the black mist.
While Wu Ke was doing this, he also asked the girl in front of him: "How do you feel?"
Xiao Meiyan didn't know how to answer this question. She felt very subtle now. Although she could feel a cold despair in her heart, she could clearly detect that it was not something that belonged to her.
The negative emotions that belong to me seem to be disappearing little by little at this moment, but the disappearance of despair does not mean the arrival of happiness.
Xiao Meiyan thought of a word and said: "I feel a little empty. It seems that something is being forgotten by me... Shikama Madoka, Madoka..."
"Eh?"
Madoka Shikama was surprised to hear Akatsuki Homura call out her name in a relatively intimate tone and very naturally.
