Chapter 176 Four transfer students, preview of Witch Night

July 7, Yandai Commercial Street, Huanjing Primary School.

There was no one on the viaduct far away on the horizon. After a while, a train rumbled past. The wheels rubbed against the rails, shaking off bright fireworks, which splashed from the edge of the viaduct to the cold and lonely city.

The sky gradually darkened, and a streak of pale light quietly spread across the sky.

The morning light then fell into the city, like a yellow bus, slowly driving into the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region from the eastern horizon.

It slowly gallops between the rows of high-rise buildings and the densely scattered electronic signs, while coating the wire nets and Ferris wheels above the city with a faint golden edge.

Before long, the rooftop of the elementary school, which had not heard the sound of morning reading for a long time, was slowly enveloped by the soft light of morning light.

The rusty railings and iron mesh were stained with a light orange color. Through the gradually warming gaps between the iron meshes, one could glimpse the sun rising slowly from the corner of the horizon.

Above the rooftop, a girl in a Christmas dress slowly steadied herself, lowered her head, and landed on the rooftop between her fluttering skirts.

She raised her eyes slightly and looked forward, raised the brain imaging helmet in her right hand, held the helmet in her arms, and walked towards the figure leaning against the iron net.

"Senior, I'll return the brain imaging helmet to you," she said.

"So, what did you do with it?"

Following the source of the voice, the girl in the Gothic skirt was leaning against the iron mesh as usual, hugging her shoulders, playing with her mobile phone, and asking without raising her head.

Little Red Riding Hood replied: "I imagined some photos of my predecessors in my mind and tried to see if I could replicate them."

The magical girl Ash raised her eyes from her phone, silent and staring at her motionlessly like a black cat.

"I hope you understand, Senior."

"If you want to get beaten up, just say it. There's no need to beat around the bush."

"I was joking, senior. As expected, the little girl who picked up trash was not worthy of being joked. She was scolded as soon as she made a joke."

Little Red Riding Hood was sad.

"Aren't you tired of the same joke?" Ashes asked with disdain.

"It turns out that Senior is already tired of me."

"You..."

Seeing her reaction, Little Red Riding Hood quickly regained her normal demeanor and asked calmly, "So... who is the transfer student that Senior mentioned in the message this morning?"

The magical girl Ash was silent for a while after hearing this, as if she was thinking, and then she answered nonchalantly.

"Magical Girl Reizhong Douji, Magical Girl Kunou Sakura, Magical Girl Yuya, and Magical Girl Qili have come to the Alliance branches in the UK, Japan, Iceland, and the US respectively. They will be stationed in our branch for a while."

“They are all famous people.”

Little Red Riding Hood raised her eyebrows slightly and spoke with a hint of surprise in her tone.

She thought, Ling Zhong Tongzi is here? That 9-year-old magical girl? Isn't Kujo Sakura the most famous magical girl in Japan? How could the Japanese branch be willing to let her come?

"That's it."

Magical Girl Ash answered nonchalantly.

Little Red Riding Hood pondered for a while, then asked, "Why did a transfer student suddenly come? Is it a rule?"

"In order to maintain friendly exchanges between different alliances, they often exchanged their signature figures with the other party's alliance branches to promote friendship."

At this point, Hui Jin paused for a moment, then continued, "Originally, our Chinese branch didn't care about this rule. After all, our boss is Master Xiziyue. She said, 'Why transfer to another school? It's so boring and troublesome. If you want to eat delicious food from other places, just ask me to fly over on the time-space train. You don't even need a plane ticket.'"

"Very much like Teacher Xiziyue's style." Little Red Riding Hood nodded, "Then why...are there so many transfer students coming here suddenly?"

"Because... the witch."

"Witch?" Little Red Riding Hood suddenly realized, "The witch Black Rose? I saw this person on the news last night."

"Yes." Ashes nodded. "I heard from the masters that it has been confirmed that the witch who suddenly appeared is a member of the Witch Church 'Tower of Babel', so we must be vigilant."

"Witch Church, Tower of Babel, I've heard their names on the Internet."

Little Red Riding Hood pondered, thinking that she had just been beaten up by Black Rose last night, and in the end the witch was rescued by the Tower of Babel.

Upon hearing this, the magical girl Ash put her phone in her pocket and pulled her black leather gloves.

She thought for a moment and said, "Anyway, they are a bunch of bad guys. They will target magical girls and contracted beasts, so you should be careful." Then, she turned her head and glanced at Little Red Riding Hood. "I suggest you don't hang around outside during this time. It's best to stay in the Alliance branch building."

After saying that, the girl in the Gothic skirt walked towards the iron gate of the rooftop and gently pushed it open to enter.

Little Red Riding Hood followed her and said tentatively, "The monsters have kidnapped a commander from the Super Hero Building. Isn't it dangerous for me to stay in the branch building?"

She paused and said, "After all, if those witches want to take action, they will definitely choose this place to do it, right?"

"You're right, but my master is different from those useless people in the Super Hero Association."

Magical Girl Ash said calmly, "If the Alliance building was attacked, she would come here by train first, so I said it would be safer for you to stay in the branch building."

"I see." Little Red Riding Hood said, and suddenly an idea occurred to her: "Wait a minute, so those transfer students were sent here to guard against the witches that appeared around Beijing?"

Ashes nodded and did not deny it.

"Yes, you are quite smart."

As she spoke, she paused, stretched out her hand, took the brain imaging helmet from Little Red Riding Hood's arms, and then continued: "They are called transfer students, but in fact they are reinforcements sent by the Alliance branch. They are the most powerful among the magical girls."

"I see. Senior, I have a question."

"what is the problem?"

"Isn't the bell boy in London only 9 years old?" Little Red Riding Hood said, "She transferred to our school, so shouldn't she start from the first grade of elementary school?" "My master said that the intelligence of that child is far beyond her peers. She may be smarter than you, so it's more than enough for her to go to high school." Ashes paused, "So she will disguise herself as a high school student and study at the Third Middle School of Huanjing with four other magical girls from foreign branches."

"Oh, I get it."

Little Red Riding Hood sighed softly, thinking that it looked like she would not only have to play role-playing games in the Alliance, but also have to be careful of these four magical girls in school when summer vacation ended and school started again.

"Why are you sighing?"

"I just envy them for being able to go to school."

"You can also go to school. I'll ask my master to help you find a connection, and then you can go to the same school as me."

"No, I don't like this."

"You are so weird..."

The two walked into the classroom while chatting, sat at the conference table, and lowered their heads in silence.

After a while, the magical girl Ashes spoke to break the silence.

"In short, you don't need to understand or get involved in this matter. Stay away from people who see the Tower of Babel. Do you understand?"

"What if you are in danger?" Little Red Riding Hood asked.

"Even if I'm in danger."

Magical Girl Ashes spoke softly, with no expression on her pretty face.

"Okay, I understand." Little Red Riding Hood said, "But can you tell me who the people in the Tower of Babel are from?"

"I don't know, and neither does the master. We only know that they are all witches, and that's enough."

"I remember from the news that after Black Rose was defeated by Black Goku last night, she was rescued by a beam of light. At that time, there was a pattern of a tall tower in the sky. Could it be that..."

Magical Girl Ash interrupted her and said in a low voice: "That is the symbol of the Tower of Babel..."

As she spoke, she took a deep breath, slowly raised her slender arm to the right, raised her white finger, and poked the side of Little Red Riding Hood's head.

"Senior, what are you doing?" Little Red Riding Hood covered her head.

"Master said that the witch was coming for me."

"Black Rose?"

"Yeah. So if they come, stay away from me."

"You've said that many times." Little Red Riding Hood muttered.

"I don't want to see my friends die in front of me anymore, and I don't want to see them get hurt because of me, so... stay away." As she spoke, the girl's clear eyes were covered by her drooping hair. Her right arm was still hanging in the air, and her finger was pointing at Little Red Riding Hood's head.

Little Red Riding Hood was silent for a moment, then nodded gently: "Yes. But why did the witch come to you?"

Ashes retracted his right hand and shook his head, "I don't know."

She went on to say, "But it will be a fight to the death. My three masters and the four magical girl transfers will most likely get involved. If someone of your level gets involved, you will be torn into pieces like a piece of paper. Do you understand?"

"Oh."

"So don't get close, don't even look at it."

"Then if Senior is in danger, like the time in Vientiane City, what should I do?"

"This time is different from the time in Vientiane City. It's much, much more dangerous than that..."

As she spoke, the magical girl Ash opened her mouth slightly, and her voice gradually became colder, "Even my master said...'Witch Night' might appear in this war."

"Witch Night?" Little Red Riding Hood was stunned for a moment, "What is Witch Night?"

"You don't need to know what it is, just remember my words."

Little Red Riding Hood was silent for a while: "Okay, then I won't ask any more questions." She said, changing the subject, "Then senior, when will those four transfer students come?"

"Maybe in a week or two. They each have chores to attend to."

"I see."

"That's all for today. Send me a message when you get back and tell me you're okay."

The girl in the gothic skirt tilted her face slightly, hugging the brain imaging helmet in her arms. The gray skirt slowly spread out on the cold conference table, like withered petals. She bent her calves, put her leather shoes on the corner of the table, hugged her delicate knee with her right hand, and the toes of her other leg were pointed in the air, gently shaking.

"Ok."

After saying that, Little Red Riding Hood turned her eyes away from her, turned around, and walked out of the classroom without looking back.

As soon as she stepped over the threshold, she stopped, turned her head to glance at Ashes sitting at the conference table, and spoke softly.

"If Senior is in danger, I will not sit idly by..."

As she finished speaking, she raised her ruby-studded magic wand, and under the gaze of the girl in the gothic skirt, it rose into the sky with a burst of snowflakes and gradually disappeared into the horizon.

The magical girl Ash was stunned for a moment, then she withdrew her gaze from the empty corridor.

"You are indeed an idiot..."

She sighed and murmured softly, resting her cheek on her bent knees and looking at the classroom floor with her eyes tilted slightly, "Go home."

　Please give me a monthly ticket, thank you meow.
