Chapter 299 Family Event III: Witch Night (Thirteen)

Right above the Witch Night, Ke Mingye sat on the Aurora sled. The hooves of two elks in front of him stepped on the sky, dragging the sled through the wind and snow, taking him, Little Red Riding Hood, and White Wing to the outskirts of the Witch Night.

Seeing that Bai Yi was still wailing out of control, he knocked Bai Yi unconscious with a knife.

Then he raised his eyes and looked at the scene in the center of Witch Night through the howling snow and wind.

The Ash Witch rose to a height of three hundred meters in the air.

At this moment, a shadow of a young girl slowly rose from behind her. The shadow floated in the air, with a blood-red grin on her lips. Her arms extended infinitely, and at an odd speed, she pulled the War Witch above the stage into her arms.

"So fast……"

The War Witch was completely stunned, her pupils constricted. At that time, she had just caught Lilai's "Iceberg Fall", and her magic power was temporarily exhausted. At this moment, the change came so quickly that she naturally failed to react and was caught so easily.

Amidst the eerie laughter that sounded like wind chimes but was loud enough to cover the entire city, the black shadow of the young girl opened her mouth wide and swallowed the War Witch into her stomach.

Not even a trace of bone or blood was left, it was completely taken in.

After the black shadow of the girl behind her devoured the War Witch, the gray-blue fire in the eyes of the Ember Witch burned even more vigorously and coldly.

The huge sniper rifle in her hand began to change. It first disassembled automatically in mid-air and dispersed into countless metal parts, floating, swaying, and colliding. Then, in just a moment, the parts snapped together and assembled into four floating turrets.

Watching this scene, the puppet witch raised her head and said expressionlessly:

"She devoured the War Witch and copied her characteristics... As expected of the most dangerous witch in the world, her characteristic is 'devouring'?"

In her eyes, the four floating turrets that the Ember Witch disassembled her wand and reassembled were undoubtedly highly similar in appearance to the four turrets used by the War Witch - it would be better to say that they were carved from the same mold.

Xiziyue was also looking at the strange scene in the sky. Even the powerful "War Witch" who had lived for hundreds of years was turned into food without any resistance. Even after her death, the abilities she originally controlled were easily replicated.

From this we can see how terrifying the Ash Witch is.

Xiziyue raised her head and said softly, "You created this... Please take responsibility."

The puppet witch shook her head.

"It's a pity...we can't control her either."

She paused, and stated emotionlessly like a machine: "The current situation has changed. Originally, if we sacrificed the 'Ember Witch' to summon the 'Witch of Jealousy', then the situation would still be within our control. After all, we can use the altar of the Witch of Jealousy to control her... But now that the altar has been destroyed by you, there is only the 'Ember Witch' left - unfortunately we did not expect this situation, and there is no doubt that she is out of our control."

She paused and said, "So...why don't we get rid of her first, and then fight to the death, how about that?"

Xiziyue responded calmly: "I refuse."

The next moment, there was a sudden roar in the sky. Looking up, I saw that the muzzles of the four floating turrets above the Ember Witch's head were emitting gray-blue magic power at the same time. The surging flames poured out violently, with nowhere to hide, and gradually accumulated into a huge ball of light.

Then, the Embers Witch aimed the muzzles of the three turrets on the left at the statue in the center of the Witch's Night, as well as the Crown Dream Witch and the Puppet Witch at the edge of the Witch's Night.

The last turret on the right has its muzzle pointed at the sky above;

The next second, four deafening roars sounded one after another, and a gray-blue light beam that exceeded the speed of sound shot out from the muzzle. The world suddenly changed color, as if day and night changed at this moment.

The firepower of the first three artillery batteries was like the sun shining flat on the ground, instantly covering the stage of Witch Night, leaving people at a loss as to what to do.

The beam of light from the first turret hit the center of the Witch Night—not only was the witch statue shattered, but the core of the entire stage was pierced, and the stage equipment began to shake and fall to the ground with violent tremors. The paper figures holding hands and reciting German around the edge of the stage also suddenly turned into ordinary tissues, spinning and falling towards the city;

The beam of light from the second turret blasted towards the Crown Dream Witch - the Crown Dream Witch's pupils trembled, and she lost all sleepiness. At this moment, the calmness on her face turned into deathly stiffness. She shouted silently, and the nightmare behind her protected her head, but was crushed and crushed again in an instant, and then the Crown Dream Witch under her also turned into blood mist and exploded.

Not far away, Utena was blown away by the residual force for hundreds of meters, and her body pierced through one tall building after another like a cannonball - she was only a few meters away from the range of the light column. If she was closer, perhaps her fate would be the same as that of the Crown Dream Witch, and she would be blown to pieces without leaving any trace.

At this moment, the light beam from the third turret fell on the head of the puppet witch.

The puppet witch was close to Xiziyue, and the falling speed of the magic light column was so fast that it almost exceeded the reaction range of all A-level superhumans. The two of them could not react in time at all. They could only predict in advance and defend on the spot.

Her pupils reflected the beam of magical light that was falling from above her head. Xiziyue was stunned at first, then she quickly recited in her mind.

"Rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, chicken, dog, pig."

Half a second...

Not even half a second.

In the 0.01 second that was enough to decide life and death, the twelve zodiac animals protecting Xiziyue behind them suddenly rushed towards the sky at the same time at a speed close to the speed of light.

Their shapes twisted instantly, like whirlpools in an oil painting—six of the zodiac animals turned into white paint, and the other six turned into black paint.

Then the black and white parts condensed together on the left and right, turning into a huge Tai Chi diagram. The rich ink color and pure white slowly flowed in a perfect and extreme "circle", each occupying half of the territory.

The next moment, a pillar of light fell from the sky and landed on the Tai Chi diagram. From the Tai Chi diagram came the trembling neigh of horses, the roar of dragons, the barking of dogs, and the roar of tigers. The voices of the zodiac animals were pitiful, and they all exerted their strength to try their best to alleviate the power of the pillar of light falling from the sky.

Despite this, the result was still chilling - the Tai Chi diagram lasted less than two seconds before it collapsed.

However, it was these two seconds gained by the Emerald Zodiacs that enabled Xiziyue to take out the A-level magic card - "Shield of Floating Life" from the magic book.

According to rumors, there are only two "Shields of Floating Life" in the world, because it, like "Extreme Dream", is made from the remains of some extremely rare contracted beasts. Xiziyue left one in Huijin's magic book, and kept the other in her own magic book.

In an instant, Xiziyue's body was enveloped by the holy light of the Shield of Floating Life, and she met the gray-blue light column falling from above her head.

In the strong light, her safety was still unknown, but at least the front of the space-time train under her suffered a tragic end and was crushed into ashes in less than half a second.

Compared to Xiziyue, the Puppet Witch was not so lucky - she was instantly crushed into dust by the gray-blue light column that fell from the sky, and the three super-giant puppets protecting her were also destroyed in an instant.

The Puppet Witch did not put much effort into defensive measures because as long as her puppets exist within a radius of 200 meters, the Puppet Witch can rely on the Witch Night under her feet to be resurrected.

But now, after suffering heavy damage from the Ash Witch, the Witch Night is already crumbling and has lost all its functions, which is equivalent to nothing. The Puppet Witch's regenerative ability has come to nothing, and it has disappeared from the world.

The next moment, the Ember Witch raised her hand, and the last floating turret was not aimed at the building below her feet, but shot a beam of light at the red sky above her head.

boom--!
With a deafening roar, gray-blue flames shot up into the sky, and the blood curtain covering an area of ​​a thousand miles collapsed in an instant... There was not even a crack that spread out, it just collapsed straight down, and then blood-colored fragments sprinkled onto the entire city like a rainstorm.

Then, the blue sky revealed its original shape piece by piece like a puzzle.

The morning light poured down, brushing the pale profile of the Ember Witch and lighting up the gray-blue flames in her eye sockets a little.

However, even after doing this, she still had no intention of stopping.

At this moment, the four floating turrets in the air were split into countless parts, and then meshed together like gears, and "clicked" together to form the huge sniper rifle.

The Embers Witch took the sniper rifle.

Then he pulled the trigger again, looking towards the blue sky.

boom----!
The gunshots were like Big Ben ringing at midnight, resounding throughout the sleeping Beijing.

Then, a beam of magic power condensed to the size of a fingertip shot out from the muzzle of the gun and rushed forward. After reaching the apex of the atmosphere with unstoppable force, it instantly split into more than a dozen meteor-like rays of light, falling towards every corner of the city with the scorching hot atmosphere.

Then, in less than a moment, a gray-blue meteor fell from the sky and hit the earth, crushing the giant puppets that were wreaking havoc in the city into a black sea of ​​blood.

Amid the sound of rushing water, the blood of the giants seemed to flood the surrounding high-rise buildings black. The glass curtain wall was stained with blood, and it was rare to find a piece of clear glass, and the blood was also reflected on the top.

blood.

blood.

blood.

Not even a single howl was heard, everything ended so abruptly.

Only the blood is flowing, bringing a sense of reality.

Then, the normal-sized faceless puppets above Witch Night were also smashed into a pool of blood by the meteors falling from the sky. The bright blood splattered violently on the stage, and even the light curtain could not hide its hideousness.

Through the blue owl mask, Ke Mingye looked at the scene in a daze, his Adam's apple rolling up and down.

"Is this... S+ level strength?"

In less than three seconds, the stage of Witch Night completely collapsed. The only three witches left in the world except the Witch of Sloth were all killed. The super-giant puppets and even the small faceless puppets that were wreaking havoc all over the city were crushed into a pool of blood.

Blood……

Blood……

Blood……

No matter which direction you look in the city, you will see blood flowing like a river, black and red, indiscriminately permeating the world, like a clumsy painter doing monotonous and rough coloring on a drawing board.

Only the sky is blue.

Just like the gray-blue flame burning in the girl's eyes.

All of this was created by her.

But even so, the Ash Witch has not yet ended this performance that was based purely on crushing power.

She slowly raised her hand toward the sky, and the huge sniper rifle in her hand floated upwards and was once again separated into parts. Countless metal parts flew and reassembled in the air, and finally turned into a cross.

Then she seemed to be restrained and stunned by something. She was instantly held above the cross, her head drooping, her arms hung up by an invisible force, her expression calm, like a martyr.

Then, gray-blue magic power began to pour out from her body, covering the cross behind her like a waterfall.

Finally, the Stations of the Cross shone with unprecedented brilliance.

With the Ember Witch and the Cross as the center, they formed a huge magic cocoon in the air. This cocoon was beating like a heart, and the huge heartbeat covered the entire city like a curtain.

The next second, a violent magic storm began to brew with this huge cocoon as the center, flooding the city like a flood. Even the air passing by was annihilated in an instant, like a small black hole.

At this moment, Little Red Riding Hood fell from the sky on a red sleigh and landed on the roof of the time and space train.

"Teacher Xiziyue, what is Senior Huijin doing?"

She came to Xiziyue's side and asked anxiously.

At this time, Xiziyue was standing motionless above Witch Night, with blood at the corners of her mouth and her light blue cheongsam was torn with bloody wounds, but her eyes were still as calm and clear as a deep ravine.

"She wants to...destroy herself." Xiziyue said.

"Destroy yourself?"

Xiziyue nodded slightly, "Yes, destroy yourself, and then destroy everything at the same time." Looking at the ever-expanding magic cocoon, she explained softly.

"how come……"

"Ember has turned into a witch... It's not surprising that she would do anything at this stage." Xiziyue said expressionlessly, "Being a witch will deepen one's inner emotions. Perhaps the self-destructive tendencies deep in her heart can no longer be buried, so they are revealed."

"Then... what should we do?" After a long silence, the girl in the Christmas dress asked in a low voice.

"My time-space train has been severely damaged. I can't take you away until the train is repaired." Xiziyue said, "And if she really did that and used her own life as the price to detonate the cross that stores all her magic power, then..."

She hesitated to speak, and took a rare breath of cool air, "The entire city around Beijing will disappear in an instant."

Little Red Riding Hood was slightly stunned, her golden hair was messed up by the wind, her eyes were wide open, staring straight at the Ember Witch trapped in the cocoon.

"Then, senior...can she still be saved?" she asked.

Xiziyue was silent.

"Teacher Xi Ziyue, is it necessary to kill the senior in order to resolve this crisis?"

silence.

"Does Senior Huijin have to... die?"

silence.

"Is there anything I can do?"

silence.

"Didn't you say that if she turned into a witch, the only person in the world who could possibly bring her back would be me? Is there anything...is there anything I can do?"

silence.

"Please answer me...I beg you." At the end, Little Red Riding Hood's voice gradually became lower.

After a moment, Xiziyue opened her mouth slightly, and her black shoulder-length hair was ruffled by the wind blowing from the sky.

She said, "The magic storm near the cross alone is enough to kill you a thousand times. It's impossible to get close... Right now, Lilai, Utena, and I are in very bad condition. Apart from us, no one in this city may be able to get close to the cross, let alone get close to the ashes."

At this moment, people from all over the city gathered together.

The magical girl Yuffie's mechanical castle unfolded a pair of mechanical wings like a dragonfly, and then the other parts retracted inward, making the overall shape turn into a bird, flapping its dragonfly wings at high speed and flying towards her.

On a flat platform above the mechanical castle, the Black Judge was standing beside Yufei. He dropped from the mechanical castle and landed on the top of the train, looking sideways at the blue owl above the Aurora sled, and then at Xiziyue's back.

Finally, he raised his eyes to look at the gray-blue magic storm, his gaze piercing through the raging storm, staring motionlessly at the Ember Witch on the cross.

"Xi Ziyue...what's going on?" he said in a gloomy tone.

"I'm very sorry, I didn't keep my promise." Xiziyue said softly without looking back at him.

Behind the mask, Ke Yinzhi's face twitched slightly, his pupils shrank, "You mean, that person is..."

"Yes, those are the witch's ashes." A cold voice answered on behalf of Xiziyue.

Black Judge turned his head to look towards the source of the sound.

Lilai, one of the three giants, was seen flying on the endlessly extending ice surface. She slid to the top of the time and space train with the seriously injured Utena. The ice layer behind her collapsed and turned into ice chips dancing in the sky above Beijing.

The next moment, the magical girls scattered around the Rainbow Light Commercial Street raised their magic wands and stepped into the air, gathering on top of the time-space train with only less than seven or eight carriages left.

The magical girl Kunou Sakura raised her head and looked at the Ash Witch on the cross in the sky with a turbulent gaze, her ochre-red hair fluttering in the wind.

Her expression was more of confusion than fear.

The reason is simple. At this moment, even the most ordinary magical girl will understand how terrifying the magic power gathered on the cross is.

It's like a miniature black hole. If you get a little closer, you will be crushed.

Rather, apart from being crushed... they simply couldn't imagine any other scene.

"If this continues, the whole city will..."

Kujo Sakura muttered to herself.

At this moment, Ryukako beside her suddenly said, "Miss...if possible, I will do my best to let you survive, even if it's just you who survives."

Kunou Sakura was stunned for a moment, then looked back in the strong wind, raised her hand, and ruffled Ryukako's curly hair.

She raised the corners of her mouth and whispered, "The people of the Amemiya family will not flee from the battlefield."

Liu Huazi lowered her head, tears quietly falling from the corners of her eyes. She gritted her teeth and cried like a child.

"Should we give it a try, get closer to the cross?"

Qili said this as she lowered the brim of her cowboy hat and walked over.

Behind her, Yuya, a magical girl from Iceland, took out the bow-shaped magic wand on her back, generated a magic arrow, and then raised her aurora-like blue eyes to look at the Ember Witch in the center of the storm.

She said, "I can try to shoot an arrow at her... and see if I can kill her."

"If you dare to do this, I will cut off your hands immediately."

The Black Judge lowered his head, his eyes fixed on the arrow in Yuya's hand. A hoarse, gloomy voice came from behind the blood-red V-shaped mask.

Lilai came over, holding her injured right arm, and whispered, "Don't worry, her arrows can't penetrate the storm... Not to mention her, even you - the Black Judge of the Control Bureau, with your power you still can't penetrate the storm."

She paused and said, "Even if you don't have magic power, you should be able to feel how solid that position is."

The Black Judge was silent for a while, then looked up at the gray-blue magic cocoon surrounding the Ember Witch.

Yu Fei, who was standing behind the Black Judge, was slightly stunned: "Then can we just wait to die?"

Lily looked away.

"Maybe..." Hearing such a desperate judgment made by Lilai, one of the three giants, the magical girl on the top of the train felt a chill in her heart and her eyes dimmed slightly.

The wind was howling overhead, but the train was shrouded in a long silence.

Everyone's figures were blown slightly messy.

Yufei lowered her dark purple eyes and was silent for a long time. "It would be nice to die next to the Judge."

Black Judge lowered his head and thought deeply for a moment, then glanced sideways at the silent Blue Owl on the sled.

He turned to Xiziyue and said, "Xiziyue, take him away on the time-space train. I will try to stop this..."

Before he finished speaking, Xiziyue retorted: "I'm sorry, my time-space train was severely damaged and can't move anywhere now."

The Black Judge was stunned for a moment, then slowly raised his head and raised the five fingers of his right hand wrapped in a black glove. A hundred meters away, the five fingers were put together and slowly pointed at the figure in the center of the storm.

Countless tiny dark floating substances slowly rose up and accumulated into a small ball.

Looking at the girl on the cross, the Black Judge was silent for a long time. His right hand slowly dropped down, and the dark ball on his fingertips dissipated powerlessly, turning into rain-like light spots that scattered all over the ground, "eroding" tiny holes on the top of the train.

He walked towards the Christmas sleigh parked on top of the train and stared at the blue owl with his eyes lowered.

"In the name of the Executive Officer of the Control Bureau, I order you, Commissioner Blue Owl, to leave here immediately with me."

Blue Owl was silent, and slowly raised his eyes, looking at the V-shaped mask of Black Judge with his eyes behind the lenses.

The Black Judge said coldly, "If you disobey my orders, I have the legal authority to use a strong hand..."

Looking at Blue Owl's iron-like silent eyes, Ke Yinzhi stopped talking abruptly. He was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself, his younger brother... could actually show such a look?
But despite this, since he couldn't guarantee the safety of Baizini and the city, what he should do was to send Mingye away as soon as possible.

"One last time...get out of here with me."

The Black Judge spoke slowly, as if he was talking to Ke Mingye, but also as if... he was talking to himself.

"I won't leave... and I can't leave."

Ke Mingye paused, staring at the girl on the cross without moving, his lips moving slightly.

"She's waiting for me."

After the words fell, a moment of dead silence enveloped the top of the space-time train, and then the girl in the Christmas dress standing at the front spoke:

"You said so. I can do it... I can turn her back from a witch."

As she spoke, she turned her head slightly and looked at Xiziyue with her ice-blue eyes.

"I did say that, but you will die if you don't get close to the cross..."

"You must have a way to get me close to there."

Hearing this, Xiziyue slowly turned her head and asked softly: "...even if there is a possibility of dying here?"

"Even if I die," said Little Red Riding Hood calmly.

Looking at the expression on her face, Xiziyue was silent for a moment, then summoned out the magic book, took out a card from the flying pages, and handed it to the girl in the Christmas dress.

Little Red Riding Hood looked at the card. The pattern at the top was a magical girl surrounded by a crowd.

Xiziyue explained: "It can temporarily pour the magic power of the surrounding magical girls into you." She paused, "The price is that when you use this card, the comet fragments in your body may exceed the limit load and... break."

Little Red Riding Hood clenched the cards.

“…It doesn’t matter.” She murmured, “As long as I can bring Senior Huijin back, I don’t care what happens to me.”

The magical girls on the top of the train looked at each other and slowly gathered towards her.

Lilai was startled: "Ziyue, are you really planning to..."

Xiziyue nodded. "If anyone else uses this card, they can only get close to Ashes at best, but it's impossible to kill her. But there is one person who, if he gets close to her, has a chance to make her stop this self-destructive riot."

As she spoke, she glanced sideways at Little Red Riding Hood.

At this moment, everyone on the train focused their attention on her.

The girl in the Christmas dress lowered her eyes and slowly crushed the card in her hand.

"Please lend me...your magic power."

After she finished speaking, she gently raised her pale palms forward, and then raised her ice-blue eyes, scanning everyone one by one. The eyes that had never shown any emotion before now had a bit of determination.

Kunou Sakura was stunned, "Little Red Riding Hood will... die?"

Lilai looked away, her eyes filled with mixed emotions.

Qili lowered the brim of her cowboy hat slightly.

Utena took a deep breath, "If I wasn't hurt, it would have been me."

"Please believe her." Xiziyue said softly.

As she spoke, she placed her right hand on Little Red Riding Hood's palm, closed her eyes slightly, and the magic power in her body transferred to Little Red Riding Hood's palm like a wave.

After the magic power was transferred, he withdrew his hand.

Seeing this, he hesitated for a moment, and the others did the same thing.

Yuya expressionlessly took Little Red Riding Hood's cool hand into her palm, raised her head and looked at her seriously, and said to her softly in Icelandic: "...Good luck to you."

"Although we haven't known each other for long, you are a very good girl..."

As Kunou Sakura handed over her hand, she gently hugged Little Red Riding Hood into her arms and whispered.

"Please... please stop her. I don't want the young lady to die here, so please stop her." Ryukako said with red eyes and nose, and sobs in her tone.

"I leave it to you." Qili lowered the brim of her hat.

Lilai whispered, "You did a great job... I was too hard on you before."

“It should have been mine…” Utena lowered her eyes, her face gloomy, “I’m sorry, we seniors are so useless and made you bear so much.”

Hearing this, Little Red Riding Hood shook her head, took two steps forward, and held Utena's right hand, which was wrapped in the knight's gauntlet.

After collecting the last bit of magic, she slowly opened her ice-blue eyes and walked towards the Christmas sleigh.

Black Judge turned his head and looked at Blue Owl sitting on the sled and said, "Get down."

"I'll go with her." Blue Owl said calmly, "I told you, Ashes are my...family."

"Commissioner Blue Owl, I will make this statement one last time." The Black Judge's voice was gloomy to the extreme. "Get off the sled!" He growled almost like an order, then raised his right hand, and a black light unconsciously flashed across his fingertips.

In an instant, the blue owl's beak mask broke in the middle.

The left side of the mask slowly slid down, revealing half of his face. Then a thin line of blood began to spread downward from the bridge of Ke Mingye's nose, and the blood dyed his nose tip and philtrum red.

The Black Judge lowered his head and looked at his right hand, then raised his head and stared at the wound on Ke Mingye's face.

"I promised her..."

Ke Mingye whispered to himself.

"She's waiting for me." Blood flowed across his drooping eyes, and Ke Mingye's voice gradually became lower. "I can't not go."

Everyone on the top of the train was silent, and the strong wind blowing from above blew Ke Mingye's hair.

In the silence, Xiziyue slowly turned her eyes to look at the face under the mask of the young man, and then was slightly stunned.

The face reflected in her pupils kept overlapping and intersecting with the face of the boy she saw in the orphanage in her memory.

"Oh it's you……"

In a trance, Xiziyue's lips moved slightly and she whispered to herself.

After a moment's silence, the Black Judge raised his eyes and looked into Ke Mingye's eyes.

Ke Mingye's eyes did not move even for a second. From beginning to end, his attention was focused on the center of the storm, the cross shrouded in a magic cocoon.

"You really are..." Ke Yinzhi paused for a long time, "obstinate and stubborn."

Who does he take this stubborn temper from? Actually, I should say... he is worthy of being my brother, right?

Ke Yinzhi thought in his heart, not knowing whether he was relieved or extremely angry. He looked away from the blue owl and a self-deprecating smile flashed across the corner of his mouth.

Never mind… He shook his head.

"We must be on our way. Judge, please move aside."

Little Red Riding Hood said as she passed by the Black Judge and slowly boarded the Aurora Sleigh.

"Thank you for all the time, Teacher Xiziyue."

Before setting off, Little Red Riding Hood turned her head slightly from the sled and glanced at Xiziyue.

Then he was slightly stunned.

She didn’t know if it was an illusion, but she seemed to see a barely visible curve at the corner of Xiziyue’s mouth.

It seemed... this was the first time she saw Xizi Yue smile.

"Go."

Xiziyue opened her lips slightly and spoke silently.

At this moment, the elk's graceful cry resounded through the sky, the wind and snow whistled, and the Aurora sled carrying Ke Mingye and Little Red Riding Hood soared into the sky. The two elks stepped on the snow and soared into the air, carrying the two of them to the center of the magic vortex, facing the magic storm that seemed to be able to engulf the entire world.

The moment she rushed into the storm, Little Red Riding Hood lowered her hat brim slightly and released the magic power she received from all the magical girls without reservation. Then, a deafening bell sounded suddenly from the sky, and a huge Christmas pattern slowly unfolded under the sky, sweeping away the clouds.

An untimely snowstorm hit the world, and the entire sled was covered with flying snow. The snow and wind under the elks' feet were howling violently.

Then, the sled was covered with a hazy aurora, or rather, it turned into a beam of cyan aurora, and crashed deeply into the gray-blue magic storm.

The world in front of my eyes suddenly changed color, as if it was stained with a deep blue filter.

In the eyes of the two people on the sled, the girl on the cross was getting closer and closer, and the cocoon was getting closer and closer.

100 meters...

Little Red Riding Hood's eyes were calm.

Eighty meters...

Little Red Riding Hood's pupils narrowed slightly.

Sixty meters...

Blood began to flow from the corners of Little Red Riding Hood's mouth.

Forty meters...

Blood flowed from the corners of Little Red Riding Hood's eyes, staining her pale cheeks red.

After reaching a depth of forty meters, the Christmas sleigh began to struggle to move forward. The gray-blue magic kept scraping off the layer of cyan aurora covering the sleigh, causing it to retreat a little. If things went as expected, the sleigh would be reduced to ashes in a few seconds.

At this moment, Ke Mingye, who was sitting on the sled, took off his broken Blue Owl helmet, lowered his eyes, and slowly took out the paper man from the sleeve of his combat uniform. The paper man curled up in his palm, muttering "self", "id", "superego"...

"please……"

Ke Mingye muttered to himself.

In this fleeting second, he used his consciousness to open the player chat panel with someone.

【Failed Man: 1. 】

[Tip: The player "Anti-Dog" uses the buff skill "Superego" on you - your health is cut in half, but in the next 5 seconds, all your attributes are doubled.]

The next moment, Ke Mingye's whole body trembled, and the sudden pain caused his pupils to shrink suddenly.

"cough--!"

Blood oozed violently from the corners of his mouth and the sound of bones breaking could be heard.

But at the same time, as a painful reward, the attribute enhancement brought by the "superego" was also shared by Little Red Riding Hood.

[Spiritual power: 474 points → 954 points (↑1 times)]

[Your "Spiritual Power" attribute has temporarily exceeded the minimum requirement of "S+" level]

Ke Mingye knew very well that the magical stance formed by the most powerful witch in the world who almost sacrificed her own life could not be broken by the magic of Xiziyue, Lilai and others alone... But with the "Chosen Day" and the "superego" of Anti-Dog, the ending might be different.

In these five seconds, which were neither long nor short, he gambled his life.

At this moment, a clear light like the Icelandic aurora suddenly burst out from Little Red Riding Hood's pupils, and she stared at the cross at the end without blinking.

Five fleeting seconds, five seconds that seemed like a century. Ke Mingye was not sure how to describe these five seconds. His consciousness seemed to have been almost permeated by the dark ocean of magic. He felt drowsy and could fall into the seabed at any time.

But at the moment when he was about to close his eyes, a burst of light like polar day suddenly broke out from the dark ocean, instantly illuminating the dark world.

The Christmas sleigh turned into a comet wrapped in the aurora, carrying the world's most violent snowstorm, and roamed freely in the gray-blue ocean - thirty meters, twenty meters, ten meters, at this moment, the aurora comet pierced through the huge magic cocoon.

In Little Red Riding Hood's eyes, the figure of the girl in the Gothic skirt was getting closer and closer. But her vision gradually dimmed and became more and more blurred, until she could no longer see the girl's appearance... she could not see anything clearly.

She tried to open her eyes, but all she could see was darkness.

"I'm sorry, Principal, I..." the girl said hoarsely in the darkness.

"It's okay, you've done great."

"Senior will miss me...right?"

"Ah."

"She won't forget me."

"Yes. I won't forget it."

"I can't play with my seniors anymore, because... Little Red Riding Hood is dead."

"Please, I will stay with her. As a 'dead person' you just need to be quiet and just watch her in my mind."

"Okay... that sounds good."

The girl in the Christmas dress thought so, raised the corners of her mouth slightly and closed her eyes.

It was as if I was imagining riding a sled into the sky with that girl, soaring among the aurora borealis, feeling relaxed, excited, and free as if I owned the whole world.

Finally, she opened her eyelids from the dream, raised her right hand with all her strength, and took out an A-level magic card from the magic book - "Void and Shadow".

Then his right hand drooped weakly and he handed it to Ke Mingye's palm.

At this moment, the layer of aurora covering the surface of the sled completely disappeared from the gray-blue ocean.

Ke Mingye raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, gritted his teeth, and crushed the cards with a dazed look in his eyes.

Immediately, his figure turned into a phantom and shuttled forward, piercing through the dark ocean in front of him like an arrow, and leaped forward the last 10 meters -!
Then... the sled behind him and the girl in the Christmas dress on the sled were slowly swallowed up by the gray-blue sea. In the blink of an eye, they turned into ashes and disappeared without a trace.

Ke Mingye's body slowly transformed from an illusion into a solid entity. He hugged the girl at the center of the storm with all his strength. He gently opened his bloody lips, put his mouth close to her ear, and squeezed out a sound from his throat with all his strength. He said in a hoarse voice:

"Wake up, Bai Zini...I'm here to take you home."
