Chapter 160 Three Quarters Friends

Little Red Riding Hood steadied herself in mid-air and slowly descended. With her heels pressed against the rooftop floor, she calmly tucked the handle of the ruby ​​wand under her armpit, then walked towards the magical girl Ashes.

She tilted her head, lowered her eyes to the brain imaging helmet at Ashes' feet, and asked curiously.

"Senior, what is this, an Ultraman Transformer?"

"Transformer, this is for you!"

The magical girl Ashes spoke without even raising her head. She frowned slightly and tapped the screen of her mobile phone with her slender fingers wrapped in black leather gloves. The intensive typing sounds came into her ears, which made her feel very angry.

Judging from the corner of the screen that can be seen: she seems to be talking to Xiziyue on WeChat.

The chat pattern between the two was that Huijin sent a lot of text at a very fast speed, and then Xiziyue either ignored it, or replied with one or two sentences, or even just one word - I didn't know and thought it was a chat screen between some loser and a goddess.

But if you know these two people a little bit, you'll know that this way of chatting is formed because Huijin is too impatient and Xiziyue is too lazy.

Little Red Riding Hood had a blank expression on her face. She hugged her shoulders with the arm holding the wand and rested her chin with the other hand.

She thought for a moment and said, "It's not some brainwashing device, senior. Although I know you might have lesbian tendencies, it's still too much to attack your own colleague. How embarrassing it will be to see him again in the future?"

Hearing this, the magical girl Hui Jin raised her hand that was hugging her shoulders, put her hand on her forehead and sighed. She had long been accustomed to Little Red Riding Hood's unconventional thinking, so she decisively skipped the refutation stage.

"My master said that anyone who wants to join the Alliance must wear this helmet for testing."

"Test what?"

"Test whether you are a gamer."

"What is a player?"

"A big bad guy who wants to destroy the world."

"Senior, what's the difference between what you said and what you didn't say? We, the kids who grew up with garbage in our mouths, and you, the kids who grew up with a silver spoon in your mouths, really do speak differently."

"You don't need to understand. I order you to put it on for me immediately, and then I will take a picture and explain to the master. Do you understand?" As she said that, the magical girl Ashes put away her phone, bent down to pick up the brain imaging helmet on the ground, and then handed it to Little Red Riding Hood.

"Ok."

Little Red Riding Hood took the brain imaging helmet, held it in both hands, and hesitated for half a second: "This is really not a wash..."

Huijin frowned, hugged his shoulders and interrupted her forcefully: "Stop talking nonsense, put it on quickly."

Little Red Riding Hood slowly raised the brain imaging helmet and put it on her head. Ke Mingye ordered her to empty her mind, so she didn't think about anything and just stood there, staring at the ashes.

After a moment, Ashes looked away from her and said calmly.

"It can be taken off."

Hearing this, Little Red Riding Hood took off her brain imaging helmet and saw some images on the display screen on the back of the helmet, which were the scenes she had just seen.

She had experience with this. When the brain imaging helmet intercepted the visual nerve signals of the fraudulent puppet, the picture presented was no different from the world seen by ordinary people. Otherwise, she would have been arrested by her eldest brother Ke Yinzhi in the cinema and taken to the Control Bureau for torture.

The magical girl Ashes silently took the brain imaging helmet, lowered her clear face, and took a look at the photo formed by intercepting brain signals.

Her fingers slid quickly across the helmet's operating panel, and she quickly flipped through it. She did not see any strange player icons or messy panels appearing above the photos.

So he breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the master chef was just too troublesome and had to make her do this. If those players could choose their own spawn points, why would they choose such a pitiful girl?
"What a magical thing! Can you show it to me again?" asked Little Red Riding Hood.

"Just give it to you, don't look at me pitifully."

"Thank you, senior." Little Red Riding Hood said as she took the helmet and touched its cool and smooth surface.

"Let's go." Huijin said, "Let's go back to the classroom and teach you how to make cards."

"What about the helmet?"

Magical Girl Ashes walked in front of her, walking down the stairs of the teaching building while saying, "There are a lot of these things now, they are not very rare, keep them for yourself to play with."

"Really?"

"Really..." Ashes was about to answer, but suddenly thought of something, so he changed the subject and said in a rather unhappy tone, "Oh, it seems not. Last time I brought the brain imaging helmet home, I was scolded by my master, saying that Qing Ya sent a message to ask her who she gave the brain imaging helmet to. If it wasn't for my master covering for me, that hateful Upright Crow would have taken this opportunity to disgust me and said that I moved important public property without permission or something like that."

"Is Blue Crow so concerned about you?" Little Red Riding Hood asked in a low voice with her hands behind her back.

"He is sick, and I don't know why he is targeting me."

The two of them walked along the empty corridor while talking. The morning light shone in from the window, casting a shadow on their beautiful silhouettes. They soon walked into the classroom. When Hui Jin saw that there was no one in the classroom, he sat down directly at the conference table, not even bothering to move a chair.

She summoned the magic book, lowered her eyes, took out two blank cards from the book, and placed them on the table with a clatter.

"This is a magic card model, made of a special material," she said. "Magical girls can receive up to five blank card molds from the Alliance every week to make magic cards. However, most magical girls are mediocre in talent. Even comet magical girls can't make cards, let alone contract magical girls."

Little Red Riding Hood said, "There are more contracted magical girls who debut as idols. I saw many of them being trained as idols in the Alliance Building, but I've rarely seen them go on missions."

"That's true."

Huijin placed her hands on the table, the hem of her dress spreading out on the conference table like a beautiful flower. She curled her lips and said without hesitation, "It sounds harsh, but with their half-baked skills, it would be more appropriate for them to sing and dance to make money. If they insist on being stubborn, it will be too late to regret when something goes wrong."

"From the looks of you, Senior, you must have come into contact with quite a few contracted magical girls."

"There were one or two magical girls who played well before, but they were all contracted and very weak." The girl in the gothic skirt lowered her eyes and whispered, "Later, they all died. One was torn in half by the Ghost Hand Buddha, and the other had her head chopped off by the Abyss Swordsman. In fact, I think they deserved it. It's because they were too weak that they encountered such things."

She tilted her head, her long black hair swaying gently along with the gray ribbon. "Since then, I have basically never teamed up with other magical girls. I mostly fight alone."

Little Red Riding Hood thought for a moment and asked, "So, Senior killed the Ghost Hand Buddha?"

"Yes, my master always told me to stay calm, but I still couldn't stop and killed him that time."

Magical girl Ash tilted her snow-white face and cast her gaze toward the skyscrapers outside the window while speaking slowly.

"Didn't you see how bloody the scene was? People on the Internet gave me a lot of nicknames because of this incident. Some people said I was a killer among magical girls. Some people said that people like me don't deserve to be a magical girl. Some people said that I had no bottom line and was no different from those crazy people. Sooner or later, I would become the next witch."

At this point, she paused for a moment. "But I don't care, because no matter how they judge me, it won't affect me. I won't become a witch, and I won't become timid because of their opinions. I am who I am, and I won't change because of anyone."

Little Red Riding Hood was silent for a moment, then she walked to the conference table holding the brain imaging helmet, gently sat down next to Ashes, and took one of the card molds. "So how do we make the card specifically?"

The magical girl Ashes was also silent for a while, picked up a blank card mold with her index and middle fingers, and then injected gray magic power into the card body.

Soon, the magic slowly wrapped around it like a protective film. Then, a strange brilliance suddenly bloomed from Ashes' chest, and the bow tie of her dress swayed in the wind in the dazzling brilliance.

She closed her eyes, reached her right hand into the hole in her chest, grasped the ball of light, and slowly "pulled" it out.

Then he slowly opened his eyes and spread out his palms, only to see the light in his palms disappear. Instead, there was a stone flashing with black and white light, about the thickness of a finger.

Little Red Riding Hood stared at the stone quietly with surprise in her eyes, thinking that this should be the comet fragment in the magical girl's body?
She had heard that if the fragment was destroyed, the magical girl would die on the spot, so the magical girl would generally not take out the fragment in front of others.

At this time, the surface of the comet fragments was covered with a halo formed by densely packed black and white light spots, like the snowflake phenomenon that appears on a malfunctioning TV screen. Therefore, the true appearance of the fragments could not be seen clearly.

"This is the comet fragment in my body." Magical Girl Ashes said expressionlessly, "You also have it in your body. Imagine in your mind what you want the fragment to look like, and then integrate it into the blank card mold. For example, if I want to make a 'Magic Supply' card, I will imagine the appearance of 'Magic Supply' and the effect of the card in my mind, and then seize the moment when I resonate with the comet fragment and integrate the comet fragment into the card mold."

After saying that, she brought the fragments in her palm into contact with the card model in her right hand. Then the fragments burst into dazzling light and instantly swallowed the card model.

"Also, if you want to add some materials during the card making process, that's fine too, like this."

As the magical girl Ashes spoke, she pulled out a finger-thick piece of spirit fragrance wood from the magic book, and gently loosened the wood from just above the ball of light, allowing the spirit fragrance wood to fall into it.

Soon, the Lingxiang Wood was swallowed up by the light, as if it had fallen into the mouth of some strange creature.

Little Red Riding Hood watched this scene quietly, feeling that it was a little weird.

Not long after, accompanied by a chewing sound, the ball of light slowly disappeared, and was replaced by a stone flashing with black and white snowflakes and a magic card emitting a sweet fragrance - "Magic Supply" suspended in the air.

The front of this card shows a magical girl praying with her hands folded under the night sky, with meteors streaking across the dark sky; there is no pattern on the back, only a complex and gorgeous magical pattern.

The magical girl Ash reached out her hand and took the card and the comet fragment with a calm expression. While sending the comet fragment back into her body, she handed the card to Little Red Riding Hood.

Little Red Riding Hood took the card, looked at it for a while, and then turned it over to check the contents on both sides. She saw that it was exactly the same as the "Magic Supply" she had seen in the deck of the Alliance Building, a perfect replica.

"What's the difference between this and ordinary 'mana replenishment'?" asked Ashes.

"It smells good." Little Red Riding Hood sniffed and said in a low voice.

Magical Girl Ashes nodded and explained, "Yes, giving the card a pleasant smell is the characteristic of the card brought about by adding 'Spiritual Fragrance Wood' during the card making process."

"I see. Can I start making cards now?"

"After a few days, you will obviously not be able to control the accuracy of magic power or store enough magic power." Huijin said, "By the way, you'd better not practice secretly at home. Because if you accidentally take out the comet fragments and can't put them back, or if the fragments are damaged, your body will show some abnormalities."

As she spoke, she took a deep breath and said with a sigh and a hint of sarcasm: "Many magical girls died in this way in the past. I have to say, they were really stupid."

"I see. I'll listen to you and practice more before I start making cards." Little Red Riding Hood nodded.

"That's it for today. We've done both things we need to do." Magical Girl Ashes said, glancing at the brain imaging helmet on the conference table. "Shall I take you home?"

Little Red Riding Hood hung her head and was silent for a while. Suddenly she looked up and said pitifully, "Senior, please lend me your helmet to play with. It will only take one day."

"Do you really want to play?"

"It feels very interesting. We poor kids who pick up garbage to eat have never seen such toys."

"Hey, this is not a toy." Huijin held his forehead and sighed, "Forget it, it shouldn't be a problem for a day. Just bring it here and give it back to me tomorrow morning."

"Thank you, Senior. Love you."

Magical Girl Ash was stunned at first, then turned her head with a tingling scalp, stared at her with a strange look and asked: "When did you learn such cheesy words?"

Little Red Riding Hood tilted her head and said expressionlessly, "I've seen seniors talk to their family members like this, like 'Sister loves you', 'Brother loves you', etc.?"

Hearing this, the fair face of the girl in the Gothic skirt immediately flushed. She opened her mouth, poked Little Red Riding Hood's cheek with her hand, frowned, and hurriedly stopped.

"Stop! It's okay to say my sister loves you. I did say that. But what the hell is this about my brother loving you?!"

"It's okay, it won't affect my love for you." Little Red Riding Hood said seriously.

"If you say something this corny again, I'll shoot you with Cinderella. We're just colleagues, understand?"

"not friend?"

"Half a friend." Magical Girl Ashes lowered her face and said coldly, "To prevent you from dying miserably like my previous friends one day and making me unhappy, I only regard you as half a friend."

"Then I will be half a friend. I will open the heart of my senior and strive to become three quarters of a friend in his heart, and then I will advance to a complete friend."

The magical girl Ash was stunned for a moment when she heard this, then she tilted her face to the side and chuckled softly. She put one hand on the table and raised her other hand to poke her cheek with a finger again.

"Are you an idiot?"

After that, she quickly stood up from the conference table and walked out of the classroom slowly. Cinderella opened her magic umbrella in the corridor and then glanced at Little Red Riding Hood.

"I won't take you home today. Go home by yourself."

"Okay, bye, senior."

As soon as the words fell, the umbrella of the magic umbrella Cinderella opened outwards, and the girl in the gothic skirt grasped the handle of the umbrella and suddenly rose into the clear sky, leaving only a gray magic ripple in the air.

In the classroom, Little Red Riding Hood looked at this scene, then slowly lowered her eyes to look at the brain imaging helmet in her arms.

"One day?"

"Then I have to think of a way to get Che Zhengchen out of the Superhero Association building today, and then hypnotize him to make him recall the scene when he was parasitized by the bugs. I'll see if I can use the brain imaging helmet to reproduce Gastro's appearance in his mind..."

　Please give me a monthly ticket! (Marmot breaks into a voice)
