"Is this...a memory?"
Wu Ke stopped and took back the black thread of evil thoughts that had grown in size, but he also received some incomplete images.
His eyes suddenly became a little strange, and he looked directly at Madoka Shikama next to him with a surprised expression.
"Eh?"
After Madoka Shikama felt his gaze, the girl who was a little afraid of strangers subconsciously hid behind her good friend Sayaka.
After realizing that it was a bit impolite to do so, Madoka Shikama stuck his head out and asked, "Brother, why are you looking at me like this?"
Wu Ke: "..."
Some people don’t know how to answer this question. Can they say that they saw various ways of death of the other party in those memory images?
Next to her, Xiao Meiyan, who had recovered from her emptiness, suddenly changed her face, and instantly moved to the back far away from Wu Ke. She covered her forehead, her face looked a little panicked, and she looked at Wu Ke. Ke asked.
"What on earth did you do to me?"
Xiao Meiyan could feel that her condition had improved a lot, but there were more things that made her feel bad.
"Don't panic, I should know the situation and I can explain it to you..."
Wu Ke comforted the girl across from him who looked like a frightened little beast, but he continued without stopping.
"I absorbed the negative power inside your soul gem, and the negative power was obviously caused by some of your bad experiences and memories.
Therefore, when absorbing, some of your bad memories were also absorbed by me. Now you should have some incomplete memories..."
The panic expression on Xiao Meiyan's face gradually subsided, but the frown on her face clearly showed that she was not able to accept this result.
What is memory? Memory is something that contributes to a person's personality.
Once the memory is lost, the existing personality may undergo huge changes.
Although most of the negative power of the soul gem was taken away, which made her overly tense nerves feel relaxed, it was this feeling of relaxation that scared the girl.
Akatsuki Homura is afraid that she may become a different person, and that her changed self may change her mind about saving Madoka Shikama.
If she had known from the beginning that embarking on the road to redeem the other party, it would be so difficult and desperate. She was still a bit cowardly at that time. Even if she was impulsive, she would not dare to sign a contract with Kyubey and become a witch who keeps reincarnating among the witches. In the timeline one month before Night arrives, a magical girl experiences desperate endings again and again.
"Can you help me recover?"
The memory of despair is indeed bad, but it is also an important part of her current personality. Like a forging hammer, it turns the simple desire to save Madoka Shikama into an important existence like obsession, inseparable and full of... toughness.
"I'm afraid a complete recovery is impossible."
Putting the memory of despair back, Wu Ke felt that it was a bit cruel for such a girl.
"However, it is something I can do to show it like a movie for you to watch and contact the incomplete part of your memory to understand what happened. But are you sure you want to watch it?"
Wu Ke paused and reminded: "Those memories are not a good thing for you."
"sorry to bother you."
Xiao Meiyan said without hesitation.
"Can I watch?"
Suddenly, Tomoe Mami on the side spoke. She witnessed the scene of Wu Ke pulling out the black mist from the soul gem, which was not a good thing for magical girls, but she wanted to know more information.
"Do those memories have anything to do with me?"
Shikame Madoka also asked at this time. This seemingly ordinary girl seemed to be unexpectedly sharp in some key places.
"I want to know about it too, okay?"
Sayaka raised her hand and asked, and the space left by her raised hand revealed the fact that Kyubey behind him was opening his eyes and quietly paying attention to the situation here.
"Your thoughts?"
Wu Ke asked Xiao Meiyan opposite him. The memory he had absorbed belonged to the other person. If he was willing to reveal his privacy to others, he had to respect the personal wishes of Xiao Meiyan, the owner of the memory, and the girl opposite him.
Of course, the premise for Wu Ke to respect other people's privacy rights must be that the person is not a bad guy, and if it is a bad guy, does the bad guy deserve to have privacy rights?
Xiao Meiyan thought for a moment in silence, then suddenly raised her hand and pointed at the Kyubey in Shikamaoka's arms, who was peeking at the situation here, and said: "My memory can let them understand, but that Kyubey can't." Give it anything to know.”
"no problem."
Wu Ke snapped his fingers.
"Ah~"
Shikame Madoka was startled by the sudden evil thoughts in his hand, and subconsciously let go of his hand.
A pitch black crystal box jumped on the ground and then stopped.
"Chubby!"
Tomoe Mami shouted nervously, turned directly into the fighting form of a magical girl, and pointed the muzzle of the flintlock formed by magic at Wu Ke.
"What did you do to Kyubey?"
Wu Ke was not surprised by Tomoe Mami's change, because in the absorbed memory of Xiao Meiyan, there were also some memories about the other party, even though they were all dead.
"Don't be nervous, I didn't hurt it, I just closed it and temporarily blocked its ability to perceive the outside world."
Now that things have happened, Wu Ke also knows that there may be some problems with the little white beast, and it is not a simple way to seek help.
"Da da da……"
Light footsteps sounded.
"who?"
Tomoe Asami moved quickly, changing her position with her back against the wall. She took out another flintlock gun from under her skirt with her other hand, and pointed it at the side passage where the sound came from closest to her.
The other people, more specifically, Madoka Shikama and Sayaka, also looked nervously towards the passage where the sound came from.
"Could it be that those strange and dangerous guys are here again?"
Sayaka looked a little nervous and a little excited, and she was indeed a very nervous girl in this regard.
"Don't be nervous, everyone. That's not a dangerous guy, it's just my armor of evil thoughts."
A body in black full-body armor walked out of the dim passage.
When it came in front of everyone, it put down the black crystal box in its hand.
He walked straight towards Wu Ke and turned into a shadow, disappearing into the shadow of the ground.
"Da da da……"
Continuous footsteps came over, but four more evil thoughts armors appeared. They all put down a black box and disappeared into Wu Ke's shadow.
"This is?"
Tomoe Mami looked at the black crystal box that trapped Kyubey, and the other four black crystal boxes that were exactly the same and placed next to them, and her pupils shrank a little.
"It's the same as that little white beast. There are other little white beasts hiding around here, creatures you call Kyubey. I caught them all and locked them up."
Wu Ke explained.
"You should want to know the truth of some things, so put down the gun and watch my memories together."
Xiao Meiyan said that although she lost the part of the memory that was absorbed, the remaining residual memory still contains enough information to prove that Kyubey is not a good thing.
"Okay, I can take a look at your memory first."
Asami Tomoe put the flintlock formed by magic power back into the bottom of her skirt. Her skirt was like a fourth-dimensional pocket.
"Pa~"
After Xiao Meiyan's confirmation, Wu Ke clapped his hands, and the little octopus with a different spirit suddenly appeared.
"This is a familiar. Are we being pulled into the witch's barrier?"
The appearance of the mentally alien little octopus and the changes in the surrounding environment made Tomoe Mami scream out in surprise, and almost didn't pull out the flintlock gun again to directly launch her own shooting attack on Wu Ke, the instigator.
The reason why she stopped was because she saw the girl who was holding Kyubey just now, but now she looked like she was seriously injured and fell to the ground and was about to die.
The girl with a very cold temperament just now also fell next to the other party. She just wore glasses on the bridge of her nose and her temperament was not very cold.
"We are both going to be doomed. Despair will take us..."
The image is stuck.
The next moment, it was another girl talking.
"This is not bad, let's become monsters together and destroy everything in this terrible world..."
The lag appears again and the conversation continues to jump.
"Can I ask you to go back to the past and save me before I was deceived by Kyubey, that idiot?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the scene of the memory image jumped.
"Sayaka!"
Everyone was facing a strange witch, but there was an unknown magical girl who called out this name to the witch.
"sorry."
Xiao Meiyan apologized.
"Pong!"
The witch dies.
Immediately afterwards, the scene changed into a factory building.
Asami Tomoe saw herself as a magical girl, looking spoiled and crying.
"Since the soul gem can give birth to a witch, then everyone has no choice but to die..."
Before she finished speaking, the screen froze for a moment, and she fell to the ground, her eyes losing their brightness.
On her head, the soul gem that is the magical girl's body has been broken to the side.
…
A large number of images were circulating, and Tomoe Mami, Madoka Shikama, Sayaka and others all saw themselves dying.
Among them, Madoka Shikama has the most varied death patterns, while Tomoe Mami's death pattern is the simplest and always related to the head. Finally, there is Sayaka. This person is always dismembered and divided into five parts. To be honest, these scenes are all restricted levels. , as if it were a psychopathic author who created a game to abuse young girls.
After everything returned to reality, everyone who met again looked at each other. Since Wu Ke absorbed the memories of despair, and these memories were still incomplete, the information revealed to everyone in the illusion, There are also serious deficiencies.
Fortunately, there is someone here who can connect these incomplete information, and that is the owner of the memory itself, Xiao Meiyan himself.
"You can explain that although I have absorbed your memory and can use reasoning to understand your current situation, there are still some doubts about more detailed matters and details. As for them, I’m afraid there are even more doubts.”
Wu Ke gave up the right to speak to Xiao Meiyan.
"I am a magical girl reincarnated in the timeline. My initial wish was to change everyone who became a magical girl and face the end of total annihilation in the night of fighting against the witch..."
This was the opening line of Akatsuki Homura's explanation, and then she told how in the process of finding ways to fight against the Witch Night, she gradually discovered the truth that magical girls will eventually become witches.
"In the reincarnation of discovering this truth, Sayaka was an important factor that allowed me to discover this truth. She gave up on herself because her best friend took away the boy she liked. She does not care about the seeds of sorrow or the filth of the soul gem. She does not care about herself. I gave up and became a witch..."
"How……"
Sayaka wanted to speak, but Xiao Meiyan stared back with cold eyes.
"In order to protect everyone who cherishes my companions, I chose to kill her after she turned into a witch, but she was also troubled by the guy who was close to her, the magical girl Sakura Kyoko who you still don't know and is operating in another city. To be more precise, she wanted to kill me and avenge that idiot over there who turned into a witch."
"Sakura Kyoko..."
Tomoe Mami recited this name. She had heard of this person and had been in contact with him several times.
She is a magical girl who likes to wander around and has no territory to invade other people's territory.
But he is a guy who is not liked by others.
"Miss Tomoe Mami collapsed in that reincarnation. I killed her with one shot, and then she wanted to kill me!"
The corner of Xiao Meiyan's mouth curled up. She didn't know if it was because the black mist was cleared. She wanted to see her senior sister's embarrassment.
In fact, she also saw that Tomoe Mami was a little speechless at the moment, but she also seemed a little reluctant to believe it, even though she had witnessed some of the incomplete and desperate memories of Xiao Meiyan shown by Wu Ke.
"So, how did I die?"
She asked with a forced smile.
"She killed it."
Xiao Meiyan pointed at the good girl Madoka over there and said.
"Ah, this..."
Madoka looked panicked and somewhat at a loss.
Of course, she had been confused for a long time, but now she was even more confused.
"She and I supported each other until the end of that reincarnation. We originally planned to become witches together, but in the end, she took out the Seed of Lament left by Sayaka.
Oh, the reason why she left the Seed of Lament was because she never gave up looking for a way to change Sayaka back, but she didn't find it in the end.
Instead, he used it on me, asking me, who can restart reincarnation time, to save her before she signed a contract with Kyubey and became a magical girl..."
Speaking of this, Xiao Meiyan's voice suddenly turned cold, but she used a very gentle voice and said words that made Shikama Madoka over there feel her heart tighten: "This is really too much, little one." Madoka, you only thought of yourself and Sayaka, but you only forgot about me!"
Some of the memories of despair have been stripped away. Even if I can see them back through the illusion, the sequelae still appear. This is caused by the inaccuracy of emotions.
After finishing speaking, Xiao Meiyan quickly reacted and apologized quickly: "Sorry, this is not what I really wanted to express. What I meant was..."
[You care more about me than Sayaka! 】
In my heart, this idea emerged.
