By the time Fangzheng woke up, it was already the morning of the next day.
"Hmm …"
Fangzheng narrowed his eyes and stroked the little cat in his arms. He vaguely remembered that he had a dream last night, but Fangzheng could not remember what happened in the dream.
Forget it, it's probably not a big deal.
Fangzheng took a deep breath, put the little cat beside him, and got up to wash up. When Fangzheng walked out of the room, he saw Xiao Meiyan walking over from the side. When he saw Xiao Meiyan, Fangzheng hurriedly called out to her.
"Little Flame, you came at the right time."
"What's the matter? Mr. Fangzheng? "
"Yes, go tell everyone in the library to get ready. I have an experiment to do."
"Experiment?"
"Yes."
Facing Xiao Meiyan's question, Fangzheng nodded.
"I may have found a way to change the nature of the magical girls in this world, but … I need to conduct an experiment to prove it."
"Really?!"
Hearing this, Xiao Meiyan suddenly became excited. She turned around and was about to leave, but at that moment, Xiao Meiyan suddenly stopped in her tracks. She looked around. After confirming that there was no one around, Xiao Meiyan looked at Fangzheng again.
"Mr. Fangzheng, that … I mean, it's best if it succeeds, but what if it fails?"
"If it fails, then we'll have to conduct another experiment."
Fangzheng gave a very flat answer.
"Nothing can be done in one go. There will be failures when there is success. I also hope that I can succeed in one try, but unfortunately, there are many things that we can't do as we wish."
"…"
Upon hearing Fangzheng's answer, Xiao Meiyan's expression turned a little confused. She lowered her head and asked with some doubts.
"This time … can we really defeat the Night of the Witch?"
However, Fangzheng did not immediately answer Xiao Meiyan's question. Instead, he just crossed his arms and stared at the girl in front of him with narrowed eyes.
"What? Do you think that if you can't win, you'll run away again? "
"— — — —!!"
Fangzheng's tone was neither fierce nor serious. It could even be said to be very calm. However, Xiao Meiyan felt as if he had been hit in the head with a stick. He felt dizzy and disoriented.
"No, I …"
"I can understand if you think you can't win and want to load again."
Fangzheng shrugged and looked at Xiao Meiyan.
"However, if you keep running away, then you will only be weak. How about this, I'll tell you a story."
Not knowing why, Fangzheng's mind suddenly flashed with the shadow of Rika Kochi.
"I once went to another world. In that world, there was a girl who had the same ability as you. She, too, was suffering. There was a mysterious epidemic in the village where she lived. This girl was said to be the 'mother' of this epidemic and was being studied in secret. This village has a ritual called Mianliu Sacrifice. Every year, during this ritual, one person in the village would die. That child also died. She lost her parents and lived in the village with another child. In June of that year, she, her friends, and even the entire village would die. "
"Huh?"
Hearing this, Xiao Meiyan's eyes widened in surprise.
"Die …?"
"That's right. That girl's ability is that every time she dies, she will resurrect and return to the time before that June. It's very similar to your ability, but she's different from you. She doesn't have the ability to manipulate time. Apart from resurrecting after death, she doesn't have any other abilities. She's just an ordinary 11-year-old girl who can't even truss a chicken."
While speaking, Fangzheng sighed.
"She also hoped to escape this reincarnation cycle and live through this endless June. She wanted to grow up happily with her friends and the entire village. But she tried so many times, but to no avail. She didn't even know who killed her or the entire village. All kinds of false information and rumors made it impossible for a 12-year-old child to know the truth. She tried to investigate again and again to get answers, but failed again and again, and was killed. "
Speaking until here, Fangzheng once again looked at Xiao Meiyan.
"Can you imagine that kind of pain?"
"… ….."
Of course, Xiao Meiyan could imagine it. If she didn't become a magical girl, she would actually be no different from that girl.
"What happened in the end? Did the child succeed? "
"Of course, we found the mastermind and successfully destroyed their plan. Now, the child is enjoying her happy time with her friends in her own world. "
Fangzheng reached out and patted Xiao Meiyan's shoulder.
"I can understand what you're thinking. Without 100% confidence, there's a possibility of failure in any final boss battle. But Little Flame, you must know that there's no such thing as 100% confidence in this world. All we can do is do everything we can to the best of our abilities, and then … … leave the rest to fate. "
"Fate …..?"
"That's right. There's a saying in my hometown that goes like this: Man proposes, God disposes. But if you think about it the other way around, if you do everything you can, shouldn't you get a good result?"
Fangzheng reached out and pressed Xiao Meiyan's body, forcing her to look at him.
"Raise your head and look at me, Little Flame. You're very strong, but when you encounter difficulties, you immediately run away. That's your bad habit. No matter how you run away, you'll eventually have to face it! If you continue to maintain this mentality, even if you reincarnate a hundred times, a thousand times, ten thousand times, you still won't be able to win! "
"I … ….."
Hearing Fangzheng's words, Xiao Meiyan was dumbfounded. For a moment, she was completely speechless.
"Isn't that right? You told me before that no one believed you, so you didn't say anything. You didn't rely on anyone anymore. You just fought alone. Isn't that just running away?! Huh? No one will believe you in this reincarnation, so you're so sure that they won't believe you in other reincarnations? Why don't you try to prove it for them so that they can become your friends and companions? Why don't you tell Little Round about QB's situation and warn her not to sign the contract, but just stay by her side silently? If you reincarnate a hundred times, and you try every single time, won't Little Round believe you one time? "
At this point, Fangzheng stared coldly at Xiao Meiyan.
"Little Flame … … Do you really want to change fate? Everything you've done, isn't it just to let yourself sink into this reincarnation for eternity? You're tired of failure, you're afraid of failure, you want to escape from failure, but it's still here! It won't disappear every time you reincarnate. Open your eyes and look! How many times have you reincarnated? The Night of the Witch is still in front of you. Do you still want to continue running away?! "
"Don't say anymore … …"
"You're just running away, aren't you? You think it's too troublesome to convince others because they won't believe you anyway. You think Little Round won't believe you either. No one will believe you, so you give up. You think you can leave everything to yourself, but do you really think you're an omnipotent god? You've failed so many times, haven't you seen the reality? Why did you fail? Don't you know? "
"Stop!!"
This time, Xiao Meiyan finally couldn't help but shout. Following that, she struggled to break free from Fangzheng and instantly vanished in front of him.
"Teacher … …?"
At that moment, Fett poked her head out from the side and looked at him with some uneasiness.
"Are you okay?"
"Fett, did you hear that?"
"Yes … …"
Upon hearing Fangzheng's question, Fett nodded obediently and said hesitantly.
Then, she hesitantly said, "That … … Teacher, aren't you being a little too strict for Little Flame?"
"She needs someone to wake her up. Otherwise, she'll still be unable to extricate herself from that lonely and depraved state."
Fangzheng shook his head, sighed, and looked at Fett.
"To be honest, sometimes I even want Naiya to give her a shot. Maybe that'll calm her down."
"Ahahaha … …"
Hearing this, Fett revealed a complicated smile. She didn't know what to say for a while.
"Forget it, I was just joking. By the way, inform everyone to gather after breakfast. Tell them I have something important to say."
"Yes, Teacher."
