Chapter 246 Maybe It’s Because of Love

Looking at the Witch of Laziness slowly walking into the alley, You Minglu's brain briefly went into a state of shutdown.

In the dusk, she tilted her head and stared at the other person expressionlessly.

With the help of a faint neon light shining on the street, You Minglu raised his eyes and carefully looked at the other person's face, somewhat wondering if the scene in front of him was an illusion.

But she soon confirmed that she was not mistaken.

The beret-wearing girl's skin was as pale as paper, and she had dark circles under her eyes, looking as if she would fall asleep at any moment. A layer of splashed black, like eyeshadow, formed an upward mark at the corner of her eye.

All the characteristics matched, and there was no doubt that the person in front of him was Shi Naian who had transformed into a witch.

At this time, the Little Red Riding Hood personality in the Trickster Doll was thinking, "Ah... one of our own is attacking the other? Could it be that the monster used Kobe's account to recruit this guy? It feels like something it would do."

During this month, she and Schnaian got along quite harmoniously in the Magical Girls Alliance.

As magical girls, they were all aware of some unspoken rules: if they wanted to take their relationship to the next level, they would naturally need to participate in social activities outside of transformation, such as going to karaoke together in their original form after get off work, or having some dessert and watching a movie. Therefore, they naturally knew what each other's original form looked like.

Therefore, in this situation, Schnaian recognized that the seemingly plain-looking girl in a jumpsuit in the alley was actually the magical girl Little Red Riding Hood.

But on the surface, it is not clear that Schnaian has the ability to transform into a witch as Little Red Riding Hood.

So in this situation, when she met Shi Naian who had transformed into a witch as You Minglu, she could only pretend not to know her, otherwise she would be exposed.

Before making a countermeasure, Little Red Riding Hood first asked the other two personalities in her mind: "If you don't understand, just ask. What do you think?" When you are undecided, hold a meeting in your mind first. This is the advantage of having multiple personalities at the same time.

As soon as she finished speaking, the other two personalities responded.

Blue Owl, who was playing the role of Ke Mingye taking a dump in the bathroom at home, heard Little Red Riding Hood's question and switched the view in confusion. He glanced at the situation over there and then said in a daze:

"Uh...what's going on here, is that person Schneian?"

"Who else could it be if not Schneian?" Little Red Riding Hood said expressionlessly, "That's why I wanted to ask what's going on. Are you sure it's not you two who did this?"

"Of course not." Blue Owl said, and almost raised his arms on the toilet to prove his innocence, "I was browsing the forum while using the toilet."

"Yes, you, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, can't do such a treacherous thing." Little Red Riding Hood murmured.

"Strange thing?"

Blue Owl thought about it and said the name.

"I think it's a strange thing, too." Little Red Riding Hood nodded.

"Excuse me, but you are wrongly accusing me, Miss Little Red Riding Hood, and this damn owl. You have taken all the limelight, and I have to bear all the blame."

The weirdo who just got off work was forced to go online, with an angry tone.

"Even if I take a step back, I don't think I have thick eyebrows and big eyes, and I can even say I have thin eyebrows and thin eyes, but I definitely don't look like someone who would do something like betraying his colleagues, right?"

"How have I wronged you, Miss Weird Thing?" Little Red Riding Hood asked calmly, "Who else would do such a thing except you?"

Blue Owl shrugged and sighed, "I don't think it was done by a weird creature. Anyway, the situation is critical. Let's think about how to escape from Schneian first. Otherwise, if she catches us, it will be easy to expose the fact that Little Red Riding Hood is actually a puppet, and then we will be in a lot of trouble."

"Oh...I have to say, things seem to be getting more interesting."

The strange thing said with interest, "If I remember correctly, in my previous observation, Schnaian's witch form has the ability to detect the movement of magic power, so she should have sensed the magic power in you."

"So, it seems that this is possible. I used the Magical Girl Transformation Card just now when I landed, but I changed back quickly." Little Red Riding Hood said, "In other words...she just happened to run into this by chance?"

She stared at the Witch of Sloth who was getting closer and closer to her, and then said to the two people in her mind: "Do something, or I will explode."

Hearing this, the strange thing said jokingly: "Do you need me to log in? I happen to be free. If you ask Master Strange Thing for a favor, I can help you."

"Just go to Kobe's account." Blue Owl rubbed Tianming acupoint, and said helplessly, "If you don't go to the account, things will get out of hand."

"Why isn't it you who's on board, Comrade Blue Owl?"

Little Red Riding Hood had a splitting headache and asked.

Blue Owl listened to the sound of Ke Yongzhu knocking on the door and sighed softly.

He said: "I can't spare time here, someone is outside urging me to go to the toilet. I have to eat dinner at home after I leave the toilet, it's quite busy."

After saying that, he flushed the toilet, got up from the toilet, turned the door handle to open the toilet door, and walked towards the kitchen of Bo Ke's house.

At this moment, in the alley of Lao Jingmai Street.

You Minglu looked directly at the Witch of Sloth and knew that something was wrong, so she quickly used the Magical Girl Transformation Card in her bag, and then her body was covered by a layer of cocoon light.

With a "click" sound, the cocoon of light shattered, and she turned into a blonde, blue-eyed girl in a Christmas dress. The floating snow slightly lifted her skirt.

"you are?"

Little Red Riding Hood looked up at her, tightened her wand slightly, and asked expressionlessly.

"Good question. Who am I?"

The Witch of Sloth stretched out her voice, holding her cheeks with both hands as she spoke slowly. Her pale face suddenly flushed, as if it was caused by excitement.

"Witch?"

"Yes, witch."

The next moment, she raised her whip-like wand and slapped the ground. With a snap, one tentacle after another emitting a faint white glow formed near Little Red Riding Hood.

In the darkness, the strange light was even more terrifying. In a flash, the tentacles reached out to Little Red Riding Hood's body, trying to tie her up tightly.

With the information obtained from Kobe, Little Red Riding Hood naturally knew how powerful Schneian was, and she was also well aware of her tricks after she turned into a witch: if she was touched by these glowing tentacles, her magic power would be suppressed to a level close to zero in an instant, or even sucked dry by the tentacles - that is to say, in that case, she would not be able to use any magic cards, and would be like a turtle in a jar, completely helpless, and unable to do anything except wait to die.

So, even though the incident happened suddenly, Little Red Riding Hood, who had been prepared, still reacted.

Little Red Riding Hood was quick-witted and took out a "Random Flash" card from the card slot of the magic book, and crushed the card with her red-gloved fingertips.

In the broken fluorescent light, her golden hair swayed slightly, and her body turned into a breeze and disappeared on the spot. The six or seven tentacles of the dim light hit nothing, at a loss.

"A card?" The Witch of Sloth muttered, "How could the reaction be so fast?"

She muttered and looked up at the sky in the alley, only to see Little Red Riding Hood already suspended in mid-air, her skirt fluttering, her body covered in a layer of light snow.

From a distance, it looks like a girl in an ice cocoon.

Little Red Riding Hood lowered her blue eyes.

The two of them, one above and one below, stared at each other from a distance. Little Red Riding Hood looked as if she was trying to remember her appearance.

The Witch of Sloth raised her face and tilted her head slightly towards her. In her eye sockets, which were covered with ink-like black marks, purple-red flames swayed wantonly.

"Play with me, okay?"

She spoke childishly, her voice lazy.

Little Red Riding Hood said condescendingly: "I'm sorry, you are a witch and I am a magical girl. If you are looking for someone to play with, you are definitely looking for the wrong person."

"Then I can only force you."

As she spoke, the Witch of Sloth poured magic power into her wand. She flicked the whip toward the ground, and dark tentacles rose from the wall, carrying her body up into the air step by step like servants surrounding a queen.

Seeing this, Little Red Riding Hood turned around and ran, surrounded by ice and snow, speeding towards the brightly lit streets.

The biggest advantage of living in such a mixed society of superhumans is that you think the streets are full of ordinary people, but in fact you never know which superhero or magical girl is hiding among them, or even a character like the Sweeping Monk.

So when something happens, don't think too much, just run towards crowded places.

Just as the Witch of Sloth came to a rooftop, using her magic power to float in the air, she chased after Little Red Riding Hood at an exaggerated speed.

Suddenly, a round black animal emerged from her shoulder.

"May I ask what you are doing, Miss Schnaian?"

Kobe, who was possessed by a strange thing, had empty eyes and spoke in a gloomy voice.

"I thought you were sleeping, but you found out." "So what are you doing?"

"Train the magical girl." The Witch of Sloth yawned, "Let go, or she'll run away."

"Didn't I tell you that Miss Little Red Riding Hood is mine?" Kobe said.

The Witch of Sloth curled her lips and said, "My witch ability allows me to make those tentacles absorb objects when I am happy, so if I want to train a magical girl, I have to choose the one I like, right?"

"That makes sense." Kobe said, raising his wings. "But Ms. Schneian, we should do things step by step. Let's start with the simple ones, such as Magical Girl Rainbow, and then Magical Girl Kaede."

"Why do I feel like your tone of voice is weird today?"

"What's so strange about that?"

The Witch of Sloth thought for a moment and made a metaphor: "If you normally look like a fool with an underdeveloped brain, now you look like a pretentious and dank man."

Upon hearing this, the strange thing in Kobe's body became furious.

This silly and cute owl lowered his hollow eyes, and the corners of his eyes twitched slightly: "Yinyinyinyinyinyangdangerous man? How dare you describe Mr. Weird Thing like that?"

"Strange...what sir?" The witch was puzzled.

Kobe was stunned, coughed twice, raised his wings and slapped the Sloth Witch's shoulder like an elbow strike: "Yes, Master Kobe, I just made a slip of the tongue. Anyway, let's let Little Red Riding Hood go."

"No." The Witch of Sloth said, tilting her head slightly, "Now that I'm here, I'd be unworthy of the name of a witch if I don't do something, right?"

After saying that, she was about to continue chasing him, but Kobe slid ten meters and knelt down beside her legs, hugging her calves, with little pearls rolling in his eyes.

It said: "Don't force me to beg you."

The Witch of Sloth sighed and raised her eyes that were burning with purple-red flames. In her deep pupils, she saw the figure of Little Red Riding Hood gradually going away.

Watching the girl in the Christmas dress fly into a brightly lit neighborhood and disappear into the crowd surrounded by neon lights and billboards, she gave up the idea of ​​continuing to follow her.

Soon, she released her witch form and her body slowly returned to its original state.

Schnaian squatted down and picked up the crying Kobe.

She yawned and stood up, "Forget it... let's go home."

On the other side, the Bo Ke family residence.

As Little Red Riding Hood escaped safely and found an uninhabited place to self-destruct and destroy the doll, Blue Owl resolved the personality tear and returned control of the body to Ke Mingye.

After dinner, Ke Mingye received a notice from Che Zhengchen. He changed into the Blue Owl combat uniform and rushed to the association to report the general situation of the "Space Monster" incident.

He mentioned that in that Japanese pub, the magical girl Kokonoe Sakura helped him solve the incident. Che Zhengchen was slightly surprised, and seemed to be unaware that Kokonoe Sakura had come to this city.

Blue Owl asked: "I heard something about it. Is it because of the witch?"

"Probably." Che Zhengchen clasped his hands together and rested them on his chin. "The confidentiality of this matter is too high. I guess only the Magical Girls Alliance and the top leaders of the association know about it."

"I see."

"Then you go first. Tomorrow, the association will transfer the points from this mission to your account."

"Okay, then I'll take the first step."

After saying that, Blue Owl walked out of the office and came to the 10th floor of the association.

During this month, there were not many criminal incidents worth mentioning around Beijing, so he only accumulated a total of 700 points.

He used 500 of the points to exchange for a low-level gene enhancer at the front desk.

Then he walked into the bathroom, sat on the toilet in a cubicle and closed the door.

He took out the genetic enhancer from the code box and looked down to confirm.

[Item name: Low-level gene enhancer]

[Note: The human body will develop immunity to enhancers, so after the first use of each level of gene enhancer, the enhancement effect will gradually weaken with the increase in the number of injections, as follows.]

[Low-level gene enhancers can be effective up to 4 times (number of injections), medium-level gene enhancers can be effective up to 3 times (number of injections), and high-level gene enhancers can be effective up to 2 times. ]

"The real thing."

As the system prompt popped up, Blue Owl confirmed that there was no problem with this thing, and then without hesitation, he pressed the button on the syringe, and a cold needle tip popped out from the front.

He took off his metal gloves, lifted up the sleeves of his combat uniform, and injected the liquid into his right wrist.

The needle pierced the skin, but no blood was seen oozing out.

Upon seeing this, the Blue Owl injected the liquid in the syringe into its body in one breath.

Then his head started to heat up and his consciousness became hazy. He sat on the toilet lid, leaning his head against the wall of the toilet cubicle, listening to the dripping sound in the toilet.

After a while, he opened his eyes from the toilet lid.

[Your "Physical Fitness" attribute has changed: 140 points → 143 points (↑3 points)]

[Your "Nervous Reaction" attribute changes: 55 points → 58 points (↑3 points)]

Blue Owl thought to himself, "The effect is indeed reduced due to immunity. The last time I injected the enhancer, I remember both attributes increased by 4 points, but this time it was only 3 points. It seems that if this continues, it will be just as the system said: at most two more injections will be useless, and then I will have to switch to a more advanced injection."

He pressed the flush button casually, walked out of the toilet cubicle and headed straight for the corridor.

Just as he stepped out of the toilet, he saw a figure standing on the silver-white corridor in front of him. He was leaning against the wall, playing Snake on his phone.

"Octopus man, what's up?"

The octopus man didn't say anything, but stared at the screen with his eyes wrapped in thick dark circles. The little green snake was circling around and eating the fruit.

"Could it be that yesterday's game was interrupted by the dice monster, and you were still not satisfied, so you wanted to arrange another game with me?"

As it spoke, the blue owl tilted its head slightly, as if looking directly at him with its tilted beak.

"No, I'm here to apologize." The octopus man turned off his phone and said slowly, "I admit that some of my previous views on you were too extreme."

"Well, you've been taught a lesson by your commander. Just blink when threatened."

"Although I don't want to admit it, your performance yesterday was much better than I expected." The octopus man said, looking up at him, "I don't believe that a person can improve so much in a month, so I can reasonably assume that your performance before this was just hiding your skills, right?"

Blue Owl was stunned for a moment, his mouth stammering: "Yes, kid, you can think so."

The octopus man said, "As expected, I take back what I said about your frivolous character." He paused, "Last night Commander Che talked to me and said that you are the kind of person who uses a frivolous appearance to cover up your inner self. In fact, your true character is not as it appears on the surface. I have to say that this trick really works, at least it fooled me."

Blue Owl lowered his head and sighed, repeating what he had just said: "Yes, kid, you can think so."

He paused and said, "Happy cooperation in the future. In fact, I want to help you find your brother. After all, I am also curious about the watchmaker's affairs."

The octopus man lowered his head, was silent for a while, and then spoke.

"If I need anything, I'll ask you for help."

"it is good."

"Then I'll leave." The octopus man hesitated for a moment, "But if you still want to fight, I can accept the challenge. After all, I was the one who made the harsh words before, and now I'm unilaterally taking them back. It seems that I'm too self-righteous."

"No, no, no, I really won't fight anymore. Besides, this ending is good for both you and me, isn't it?"

After saying that, Blue Owl spread his hands and said, "Besides, this will prevent that grey-looking bastard from messing things up again. My heart can't stand him doing that."

The octopus man thought for a moment and asked, "He likes to pester you very much. I'm curious why."

"Maybe... it's because of love."

Blue Owl sighed and nodded seriously.
