red magic girl

Kotoriyu tightly hugged the body of the little girl who was getting colder by the day, crying silently, mourning Yuma's passing.

And Akami Homura and Ba Asami bowed their heads silently at this moment, paying respect to Chitose Yuma who was younger than them but fought to the last moment.

But at this moment, two amazing magical powers suddenly appeared behind everyone.

A magic power belongs to the Witch of Needles transformed by Wu Ji Lixiang...

The other share belongs to the American Oriko.

[Impossible, wasn't she caught by me? ! ] Xiaoniaoyou was horrified, and she immediately realized a terrifying fact, 【What I just smashed was not the soul gem of American Oriko? ! 】

Xiaoniaoyou has shattered many soul gems, and her touch is unmistakable, it is indeed a real soul gem.

But she knew that the soul gem of Yumu Sasha of Kazami Ye was also in the body of American Oriko.

Then it is very possible that American Oriko also hid her soul gem.

The one that Xiaoniaoyou shattered was actually, covered by magic, the soul gem belonging to Youmu Shasha.

"Oriko!!!"

Filled with anger towards Oriko America, Kotoriyu raised the short-barreled revolver and pointed it at Oriko America in a throwing posture, wanting to blow up the object in Oriko's hand first.

Akami Homura and Mami also raised their guns at this moment, also intending to stop Oriko.

However, no matter who it was, it seemed too slow for Wu Ji Lixiang's transformation into the Needle Witch's slow-speed barrier when she was about to die.

U.S. Oriko threw out the soul gem that she had transformed back into an egg shape with her hand, only one step away from turning into a witch, and the target pointed directly at Xiaotiaoyu's abdominal cavity.

At the same time that the soul gem smashed through Kotori's stomach, Kotori aimed at Oriko's head and pulled the trigger.

"Oh!"

Accompanied by two loud bangs at the same time, Kotori and American Oriko fell down at the same time.

Kouyu lying on the ground smiled and said to Oriko:

"You, should aim at my hand..."

American Oriko who was also lying on the ground said to Xiaoniaoyou:

"I'm not targeting you..."

Thinking of something, Xiaoniaoyou used his last strength to turn around and look behind him.

Behind Xiaotiaoyou, Oriko America's soul gem smashed through the wall.

And beyond the gap in the wall, Kouyu, who was confused, heard Miki Sayaka's mournful cry.

"Madoka ahhh!!!"

Madoka's heart was finally broken by Oriko's soul gem.

Kotoriyu, who was about to lose consciousness, saw the frozen expression on Akami Homura's face last.

Xiaotiaoyou knew clearly that this was Xiao Meiyan's expression after being too sad and getting used to this kind of sadness.

This is also the expression of Akatsuki Homura, who is gradually losing her humanity and motivation to live.

This is also the expression that reincarnation will continue.

【Ah...】

【Sealed Oriko America's future prediction, she can still perceive Madoka's position. 】

[Is it intuition... or, fate? 】

[...Xunzi, I'm sorry. 】

In the end, Xiaoniaoyou slowly closed her eyes. She lost a lot of blood and almost exhausted her magic power, and her consciousness fell into darkness.

Chapter 30: A Boring Life

At this moment, Xiao Niaoyou was lying on the bed, smoking a cigarette.

The cigarette butt in his hand fell on the bed, scalding holes in the quilt covering his body, Xiao Niaoyou didn't care.

She just kept smoking, one after another.

The two ashtrays in Xiaoniaoyou's hand had already been stuffed to the brim with cigarette butts, but she just continued to lie on the roof that had been torn off and turned into an open-air balcony with an expression of indifference. On the bed in the bedroom, looking at the crumbling and dangerous buildings outside.

It's May at this moment, which is a day after Mitakihara experienced the Witch's Night incident.

Now Xiaotiaoyou, with nothing to do, wonders if she should die.

[Or, after defeating Oriko, I should die...] Xiaotiaoyu stroked his forehead with the hand holding the cigarette, and looked at the blue sky outside the window, [After all, I have lost the fight to continue The meaning of going down...]

[After the child died, after this city experienced the Night of the Witch, what is the point of me continuing to live? 】

At that time, Xiaotoriyu was seriously injured and his magic power was exhausted after experiencing the consumption of various witches in turn, and after the battle with the witch of needles transformed into American Oriko and Wu Kirika.

The next thing waiting for Kotori at that time is nothing more than the two endings of becoming a witch and death.

However, what Xiaotiaoyou waited for was not the relief Xiaomeiyan gave him, but Bamami's treatment.

"Why, am I still alive?" At that time, Xiaotiaoyou, who had just woken up, looked at Mami with a serious expression on his face and asked, "Where is Akami Homura?"

"Disappeared... I don't know where she went." Mami looked at Xiaoniaoyou with those helpless eyes and said, "Before she disappeared, she asked me to use the witch's egg that Wu Jilixiang dropped save you."

But innate magic is not the Mami of healing magic, and it can only heal some not deep wounds of Xiaotiaoyu, such as the loss of internal organs, which can only be regenerated by Xiaotiaoyu himself with magic power.

At that time, Xiaotiaoyu realized that he was not dead, and he did not become a witch with only a little bit of magic power. After Mami used the witch's egg to purify her soul gem...

She gently pushed away Mami's hand that was releasing the healing magic, then turned and walked towards Madoka's location.

"..."

At that time, Kotoriyu looked at Madoka whose chest was blood red and her body was already cold. The only thing she could do was to lift her body from the cold ground, and then walked outside while ignoring Sayaka and Hitomi beside her. .

After Yumu Sasha, who controlled the witch, and Wu Jilixiang, who made the entire enchantment, died, the witch enchantment of the Needle Witch gradually collapsed, and the witches also scattered. After a short walk, the bird swims went outside.

Xiaotiaoyou, who walked out of the witch's enchantment, faced the police with live ammunition and the reporters who came after hearing the news.

In the reflected light from the flash and the barrel, the bird swims with a deathly look on his face.

But Xiaoniaoyou at that time didn't pay attention to these people.

In front of Xiaoniaoyou, the police seemed to have no need to care about the ants blocking the way. From the perspective of combat effectiveness, even if each of these people carried an anti-tank bazooka, they would not pose a threat to Xiaoniaoyou.

Xiaoniaoyou is not afraid of the news reporters' reports, and it doesn't matter what the outside world thinks of her.

However, there was one person's eyes, and one person's gaze, which she could neither ignore nor accept.

Kamu Xunzi was also standing among the crowd of onlookers, she looked at Xiaoniaoyou with disbelief and horror, watching Xiaoniaoyou hugging her daughter.

Although Saotome Kazuko next to Xunzi was desperately explaining something, the expression on Xunzi's face proved that she couldn't listen to anything at all.

Those eyes were puzzled and questioning. If the police were not maintaining order at the scene, Xunzi would have rushed forward to ask Xiaoniaoyou for an explanation.

Unable to bear that staring gaze, Xiaoniao swam under Xunzi's gaze and escaped with the invisibility cloak.

What happened after that was nothing special.

Because of Kotori Yu's intervention, many students in Mitakihara Middle School survived, especially the students in Kazuko's class, except for Madoka.

They gave various testimonies.

"During class, I entered a strange space. 』

"I saw a man-eating monster with a mouth. 』

『I saw a girl with short black hair fighting against huge monsters and protecting us. 』

However, some of the testimonies are still accepted, such as the U.S. Oriko who hijacked the school broadcasting system is the culprit of all this.

Although the police couldn't figure out why the scene was so clean and even the body was not found, under the testimonies of the students at the scene and the intervention of Hitomi Yunlong, Xiaoniaoyou's arrest warrant was revoked and turned into a crime against the police. Wanted warrants for Oriko U.S.A. and Kirika Wu.

Neither of them was taken away from the witch's enchantment by Xiaotiaoyou, so their bodies will never be found.

As for Mami, in the end she chose to commit suicide because she couldn't bear the truth of all this.

Kyoko, Yuma and Asami died, Akami Homura left, and the Sayaka of this world, because Kotoriyu healed Kyousuke's arm with the surgical arm, had no chance of signing a contract.

In the end, Xiaoniaoyou could only fight against the Witch Night alone in order to protect Xunzi and the others.

The result of the battle was tragic. In the past, even five people could not defeat Witch Night, even if Kotoriyu was the strongest magical girl in modern times, she was powerless.

In the end, Xiaoniaoyou could only protect a small part of the population, and the evacuation of residents including Xunzi and the others was powerless against Witch Night.

Mitakihara was finally reduced to the treatment of the city near the Fukushima nuclear power plant, because of the ruins and remaining dangerous buildings destroyed by the super typhoon, it became a forbidden place.

When everything was over, Xiaoniaoyou found that the rest of his life was so boring and depressing.

Because of this, Xunzi and the others moved away from Mitakihara and went to live in other cities, leaving Xiaotiaoyu alone in this dead city.

Xiaoniaoyou didn't follow Xunzi and the others to other cities because she really didn't have the face to see them.

During Madoka's funeral, and after the funeral, until the witch's night came for a long time, Xunzi looked around from time to time, as if looking for someone.

Xiaoniaoyou knew very well that the person Xunzi was looking for was Xiaoniaoyouyuan who had disappeared in front of her for 23 years, but appeared in front of her briefly, holding her daughter's body.

Xiaoniaoyou also wanted to meet Xunzi, but...

【However, even if I see it, what can I say? 】

【Words of defense, words of complaining, I can't say a word...】

As two people living in two vastly different worlds, Xiaoniaoyou feels that maybe seeing each other forever is the right choice.

In this way, Kotoriyu is now alone, living in the ruins of Mitakihara.

[At the end, I will be left alone...] Xiaoniaoyou took out the last cigarette from his cigarette pack, lit it, and thought: [It's really boring...]

boring.This is what Xiaoniaoyou thinks now.

It's just the boredom that Xiaoniaoyou said, not the kind of dissatisfaction without entertainment, but "nothingness".

There is no motivation to live, no motivation to die, just like this, in order to abide by Yuma's sentence "live", I want to live so as not to die.

It's just that the little bird swims from time to time, and I think of Oriko's words.

That sentence, the prophecy that American Oriko made for her.

[I was born in hell on earth, but I have already become part of hell without knowing it...? 】

【What scene did she see to say this to me? 】

Just when Xiaoniaoyou was puzzled by what Oriko America said as usual, Xiaoniaoyou's cell phone rang suddenly.

The caller is a Renjian police officer.

Xiaoniaoyou picked up the phone, and the person on the other end of the phone saw the police officer and asked straight to the point:

"Xiaoniaoyou, do you know Mu Mutou?"

........................................................................

Looking at the corpse in front of her, Xiao Niaoyou didn't speak, she just stayed there.

Xiaoniaoyou knows very well that no matter how powerful he is as an individual, even if he has the power to destroy the planet, he is not enough to effectively manage a group or a country.

The state is an exquisite machine, the law is the safe operating manual that specifies the rules for the operation of the machine, violence is the bolts and nuts that maintain its composition, and the economy is the lubricating fluid of this machine.Improving productivity and determining a more reasonable distribution model are the meaning of the existence of machines.

When the productivity is raised to a certain level and the distribution is reasonable, the rule over people will disappear, and it will be transformed into the management and distribution of things and the leadership of the production process. In such a transformation, the country will also disappear. .

However, to achieve this goal, Xiaoniaoyou can never do it alone. It must have a sound governance system, a sound economic model, and the guarantee of a loyal, reliable, and powerful violent group.

However, it is a pity that Xiaoniaoyou has nothing, she is alone, and protecting a city is already the limit.

In the end, she could only choose a way to treat the symptoms rather than the root cause, using simple gangster-style massacres to protect the tranquility of a city.

Pure massacre is helpless, imperfect, and even a wrong struggle, so Xiaoniaoyou chooses to work in the police station to train a policeman who can help her from the bottom, help her deal with criminals, and send victims back home safely. Home.

This is fine, but...

Who will supervise this collaborator who often leaves Xiaoniaoyou's territory and Xiaoniaoyou has no idea what he is doing outside?

At the beginning, Xiaoniaoyou chose Mu Mutou because he was trustworthy and had a good character, but people will change. After 23 years, the original spirited guy will also become a bald uncle.
