Although they did not know what the red ponytail had done, since Yakumo said it was not a bad thing, they had no choice but to accept it. Soon, they rested for a while and set off for the school mentioned in the rumor.
As for the red ponytail, she stayed in the training room as before. But this time, to be on the safe side, everyone asked Xiao Huan to give the red ponytail an order and promised to pick her up after the training was over. Although it was not clear if the red ponytail understood Xiao Huan's words, she just sat there quietly without saying a word. In short, that was all they could do.
"There's no reaction from the witch."
Standing on the dark and narrow stairs, Yachiyo stared at the soul gem in her hand. Momoko picked up a pen and wrote her and Yachiyo's names on the steps.
"Write our names on the steps to break off relations, then make up with each other, lure the witch out, and finally kill her!"
Momoko clenched her fists tightly.
"Yachiyo and I won't be defeated easily even if we are attacked."
"I have no objections."
Yachiyo nodded slightly at Momoko's plan. She then looked at Reina Minami and Huan Caiyu behind her.
"The child didn't follow us, did she?"
"Ah, no."
Xiao Huan hurriedly looked behind her and nodded after confirming that there was no one. To be honest, she also knew that the red ponytail was a little mysterious, but this time … she did not follow them.
"Okay, then let's go!"
"…"
Meanwhile, in the Adjustment House, the red ponytail was still sitting quietly on the sofa, motionless. Her blank eyes did not change in the slightest. After an unknown amount of time, the originally dim eyes of the red ponytail suddenly lit up.
F * ck, I've finally connected!
Feeling the familiar touch, the red ponytail — no, Fangzheng breathed a sigh of relief. During this time, he had been releasing his mental power to search for the red ponytail, but just now, he finally felt a trace of the red ponytail's aura, which allowed him to connect with his doppelganger again.
But what was going on in this world?
The red ponytail raised her head and slowly looked around with a solemn expression. She could feel that the world seemed to be surrounded and disturbed by a very powerful force, which was why the red ponytail had disconnected from her. In fact, even now, Fangzheng's signal to Red Ponytail was faint. It was like going to a remote mountainous area to get 4G. If you didn't find a higher mountain, you wouldn't be able to connect. Even if you did connect, you wouldn't know when a gust of wind would cut you off.
No matter what, let's see what actually happened first.
Thinking of this, the red ponytail closed her eyes and began to sort out the memories in her mind. Fortunately, the contents of the memory made Fangzheng breathe a sigh of relief. Although he was not connected, the red ponytail still acted according to her instincts. But …
"Uh …"
Fangzheng's face was full of black lines after he checked his memories from last night. Of course, he understood why the red ponytail was doing this. Without the connection, the red ponytail could not obtain magic power from him, so she had to replenish it. As for why he chose this method — well, he could only say that Blackie's influence on him was too deep …
But the other party was a cute girl, so it wasn't a loss, wasn't it?
Not only was it not a loss, it was a huge profit.
If it was a guy, it would be a huge loss.
But Divine Shore City ….
Fangzheng frowned as he checked the memories in the red ponytail's mind. How could there be a Witch in Divine Shore City? And the magical girls in this city seemed to be completely different from the ones in his memory. They still retained their original forms. But according to those magical girls, there seemed to be no QB in this city anymore. So what was going on?
But one thing was certain, there must be something unusual in this world, which led to the current situation … Huh?
At that moment, the red ponytail suddenly felt something. She raised her head and looked out of the window. She could feel a strange power condensing and erupting!
What was that?! It wasn't the power of a Witch!
And Fangzheng could feel that with the eruption of this power, the "line" that he had painstakingly connected began to fluctuate again, becoming unstable.
This can't go on! I have no choice but to do this!
Thinking of this, Fangzheng had no choice but to retreat. But this time, he did not disconnect. Instead, he modified the way he controlled the red ponytail.
After all, controlling the red ponytail was like playing an online game for Fangzheng. Different modes of online games required different network speeds. For example, Fangzheng's current control of the red ponytail was equivalent to a panoramic VR remote data exchange mode. This was definitely not a problem when the network was stable, but when there was a problem with excessive interference like the current situation, it would no longer work. Firstly, the huge amount of data would cause packet loss during the transmission process. Secondly, the large amount of data would cause a delay. This was why Fangzheng did not do anything after connecting to the red ponytail this time. He only checked the red ponytail's memory. After all, the memory stored in the brain was fixed data. However, if Fangzheng controlled the red ponytail to do a Gokuraku Jodo dance, the connection would probably be disconnected on the spot.
With the current "network speed", it was impossible for Fangzheng to play SAO. Even playing Call of Duty would be a pipe dream, let alone Devil May Cry. He could not even play The Sims. The only thing Fangzheng could "play" now was … Command & Conquer's solo hero mode.
Simply put, there was nothing he could do except use the mouse to click on the unit to go to the destination. Even the skills could only be released by the NPCs themselves. The only thing Fangzheng could control was where the red ponytail went!
As for talking … Of course, that was impossible. After all, that would waste extra bandwidth!
It wasn't like Fangzheng had never been disconnected in the middle of typing before.
Done!
After quickly switching modes and feeling the connection gradually stabilize, Fangzheng breathed a sigh of relief. Then, he raised his hand and immediately controlled the red ponytail to stand up.
"Mantis Shrimp, let's go!"
"Ouch, ouch …"
Seeing the red ponytail stand up again and leave the room, Yakumo could only smile helplessly. She shook her head and did not say anything.
After all, it was useless for her to say anything, wasn't it?
Controlling the red ponytail, Fangzheng quickly ran towards the place where the power erupted. Fortunately, the red ponytail still had some instincts and self-awareness. At least, she knew how to fly and jump when Fangzheng pointed at a destination. The red ponytail jumped back and forth between the high-rise buildings and reached the top of a nearby skyscraper in no time. Then, she raised her head and looked towards the center of the power eruption. Soon, she saw a huge object suspended in the air. It seemed to be composed of spiraling stairs and chains. At the top was a huge bell that looked like a wedding bell.
Every time the bell swung, countless things that looked like witches would fall from it and pounce down. On the steps below, several magical girls could be seen fighting against them.
That's … a witch?
No, it's not a witch.
The moment she saw the huge monster, the red ponytail subconsciously thought that it was a witch. But she soon discovered that this was not the case. Although this thing looked like a witch, it was not a witch.
As everyone knew, a witch was a collection of negative emotions transformed from a magical girl. It only had one consciousness. Only the Night of the Witch was an exception. It was a collection of the resentment of countless magical girls.
But this monster was a little different. It did not look like an ordinary witch. Instead, it was more like a counterfeit version of the Night of the Witch.
That's right, a counterfeit version.
The Night of the Witch was a collection of the resentment of countless magical girls that had been corrupted. Because those corrupted resentment were previously powerful as magical girls, the Night of the Witch that was produced when these forces were gathered together was so powerful that it could not be destroyed at all.
However, although the nature of this monster was very similar to the Night of the Witch, the emotions that formed it were not as pure as the Night of the Witch. Its quality was also very low, and its strength was also very small. Therefore, it was stronger than an ordinary witch, but weaker than the Night of the Witch.
If the strength of the Night of the Witch was 100 (quality) x 100 (quantity) = 10000 (combat power), then the strength of this monster was at best 10 (quality) x 10 (quantity) = 100 (combat power).
Of course, it was difficult to improve the quality, but the quantity could be accumulated. If this monster was allowed to continue existing, it was likely to become 10 x 100 = 1000 in the future. If this number could be increased to 1000, then it would not be impossible for this monster to have the same strength as the Night of the Witch.
In other words, if the quality was not enough, it could be made up with quantity. What's worse, it might actually succeed. What the hell is this thing? It can't be a child of the Night of the Witch, right?
From a certain point of view, this thing might be even more troublesome than the Night of the Witch.
Was this thing man-made? Or was it natural?
The red ponytail had no clue, but she was sure that this thing was definitely the key to the current situation of this world.
It seemed that she had to figure out what was going on here. Otherwise, the whole world of magical girls would be in trouble because of this.
At the same time, under the gaze of the red ponytail, the magical girls moved forward again and defeated the monster in one fell swoop. Soon, accompanied by a shattering sound, the strange witch disappeared in an instant.
Seeing this, the red ponytail suddenly narrowed her eyes.
Because just now, she discovered something.
This witch … did not drop the Seed of Sorrow!?
