Lin Kemeng was a thirteen-year-old junior high school girl who lived in Shanghai. Her parents were still healthy, and she had a younger brother. Although they weren't from a rich family, they lived a life that most people envied. Every year, her whole family would travel abroad once. Perhaps it was because she grew up in such a family that Lin Kemeng was optimistic and cheerful. Under her delicate appearance, she had a kind heart. Whether it was at school or at home, she was very popular.
Lin Kemeng liked to play the piano and would go to piano lessons every week. However, her favorite thing was anime.
When she was in the first grade of primary school, when the television at home began to play "Mutant Girl Sakura", the female lead in the show, Kinomoto Sakura, who was just an elementary school student like her, had many dreamy and romantic experiences. She was deeply addicted to that world.
After that, she gradually grew up and ushered in a new era as a magical girl — Magical Girl Nanoha.
An even more magnificent world with even more magnificent and powerful magic. From an ignorant first love to a sincere friendship, Lin Kemeng, who was gradually becoming an adult, not only did her childhood fantasies not disappear, but it also opened a new chapter in the magical girl world in her heart.
Therefore, Lin Kemeng didn't have any bitter or vengeful experiences to become a magical girl, nor did she have the great ambition to save the world. She only yearned for the world full of love and hope because of the little things that happened in the past.
That was the romance of a young girl, nothing more.
Although after becoming a magical girl, she finally understood that this world wasn't just about romance, there were also battles and dangers, and there were evil witches that had to be defeated. Along the way, she had bumped into many obstacles and caused trouble, and there were also times when she was confused. But perhaps because of her pure heart, she never retreated. Every time a witch appeared, she would always fight at the forefront, holding on to the romance of love and hope in her heart.
Today was Saturday. There was no work for a magical girl, and there was no class. Lin Kemeng was just like an ordinary person. She put on her pretty clothes, invited a few of her best friends, and walked the streets of Shanghai in a cheerful mood.
The ordinary and happy days were completely different from the other dangerous world. But looking at the smiles on her friends' faces, she understood that perhaps it was because of this ordinary life that she could persevere on the path of a magical girl.
Because this was the daily life that she protected.
Small vanity, but endless happiness.
At night, after the movie ended, Lin Kemeng and her friends walked out of the cinema with popcorn in their hands. Suddenly, a soft sound came from the sky, causing Lin Kemeng, who had just walked to the entrance of the cinema, to raise her head reflexively. Then, she saw that a corner of the starry sky seemed to have been torn off, and a huge light pierced through the night sky. In a trance, night turned into day, and in a flash, the sound in the darkness brought with it a cry of despair.
In an instant, the girl's bright eyes revealed some uneasiness.
"Ke Meng, what happened to you?"
"I … I think I heard it …"
"What did you hear?"
"Is there anything good to see in the sky?"
"Where? Was it a meteor? Let me have a look. "
Her friends looked at her with concern and curiosity, but Lin Kemeng did not answer. She seemed to hear someone calling her name.
"I'm sorry, everyone. You guys go back first. I'll go take a look."
"Huh?"
"Wait, but the dream …"
"Ah, he ran away."
As if she did not hear her friends' calls, Lin Kemeng quickly ran out of the cinema and disappeared from everyone's sight. Then, she instantly completed her transformation and rushed into the unknown distance in the form of a magical girl.
A moment later, the scene in front of the young lady changed. Demonic City was still the same Demonic City, but the surrounding streets, houses, and the night sky had all started to distort, just like a portrait of Picasso. Strange postures, strange movements, and strange sounds were emitted. Even the street lamps were like human faces that were sneering.
Everything was so oppressive, making people instinctively feel fear and despair.
"It really is a witch!"
Lin Kemeng took a deep breath, and her gentle gaze gradually became sharp.
Witch, an evil existence that was the opposite of a magical girl. At least, that was what Lin Kemeng understood, and the contract beast that signed a contract with her also told her so.
Witches were born from despair, and they fed on humans. When they began to act, those who were depressed or pessimistic would be attracted by the signals released by the witches, unconsciously walking into the witches' enchantment, and eventually being killed.
That was the world that a magical girl faced.
This was not Lin Kemeng's first time fighting against the Witch. She had already made ample preparations for this. When the Witch, who was as slender as a street lamp, charged towards her with a sorrowful cry, a pair of angelic wings instantly grew out from Lin Kemeng's back and carried her high up into the sky.
At the same time, countless silver threads shot out from her fingertips, wrapping around the witch's body like strings of a zither. Then, when her fingers gently plucked, the beautiful notes turned into substance, and in the blink of an eye, the lamp witch was blown into pieces.
This was Lin Kemeng's fighting style — music.
In fact, at the beginning, Lin Kemeng wanted to become a card type magical girl like Kinomoto Sakura, or a cannon type magical girl like Takamachi Naha. Unfortunately, she had no talent in either of these areas. On the contrary, because she had been practicing the piano, her control of the strings and music became more proficient, and unknowingly, she seemed to have become a zither demon …
No, a musical magical girl!
Lin Kemeng corrected herself in her heart, trying her best to make her fighting style more romantic. Then, she carefully withdrew the strings of the zither, and the lamp witch on the ground had already shattered into pieces, and gradually began to disappear.
But what surprised Lin Kemeng was that the distorted environment around her did not change at all. The faintly discernible mournful cries became clearer with the death of the Street Witch … It wasn't just by her ears, but seemed to be ringing in her soul.
"Ahhhhhh …"
It was a murmur of despair, a sorrowful cry of depravity.
Vaguely, an image appeared in her mind. In the image, the magical girl was polluted by black despair, her body was elongated, and her face was distorted, just like a street lamp …
"How is this possible?" Lin Kemeng's expression changed. Why did she see such an illusion?
Could it be …
"Ahhh —"
At this moment, the distorted space was elongated again, and the night seemed to cover the entire world. A huge shadow appeared in the distant sky, and along with that sorrowful cry, a cannon shot pierced through the sky.
"Not good!"
Danger was right in front of her, and Lin Kemeng didn't have time to think. She instinctively played the zither, and countless strings formed an intertwined net in front of her. In the past, this net could help her block all attacks, but now …
Crash!
With a heavy blow, the string net was instantly torn apart, and the remaining cannon fire hit her body, knocking her down from the sky. After a short period of dizziness, she opened her eyes again and was shocked to find that the shadow in the distance had already fired a second cannon shot.
Boom —
It's over!
I can't dodge it!
Facing the cannon that seemed to want to devour her, Lin Kemeng suddenly widened her eyes. She tightly grasped the soul gem in front of her chest, but endless darkness crawled up her body, making it impossible for her to exert any strength.
Am I going to die?
If I die in this place, no one will know …
Perhaps this is the fate of a magical girl. When I first fought with the witch, I should have known …
But …
In a daze, Lin Kemeng recalled the excitement when she first saw a magical girl on television. Her heart was filled with dreams, and when she knew that magical girls really existed in this world, she felt endless joy.
But now, the path of this dream will also come to an end.
Do I regret it?
Perhaps I do, but even if I really start over, I think I will still become a magical girl.
Because this is my dream.
A dream of love and hope.
Even if I die, I don't want to become a witch.
But I don't want to die yet, I still have many things to do, and tomorrow, and the day after …
"Dad … Mom … Everyone …"
The girl held her hands in front of her chest, and tears fell uncontrollably. The cannon fire reflected in her eyes was already close at hand.
I don't want to die, I don't want to die yet!
"Save … Save me …"
At the end of her life, Lin Kemeng didn't give up the hope of survival. Even though she knew that no one would come to save her, even though she knew that no one could hear her voice, she still used the last of her strength to call for help to the stars.
Then, the fatal cannon fire followed, and even the stars couldn't be seen …
"I have heard your voice, it doesn't matter anymore."
"Huh?"
Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice sounded in the dark night.
Boom!
The next moment, a dazzling light fell from the sky and tore through the cannon fire.
The death she imagined didn't come. Lin Kemeng only felt her body sway slightly, as if she was being held in someone's arms.
The warmth from beside her made her subconsciously raise her head, and in front of her was a chiseled face.
"If you want to ask why, it's because I'm here!"
The man lowered his head and smiled slightly. Lin Kemeng saw that his eyes seemed to reflect the galaxy of the universe.
She was clearly being held in the arms of a strange man, but she felt an unprecedented sense of security. Moreover, he was so good-looking.
At this moment, Lin Kemeng instinctively thought of an anime she had watched before, "Sailor Moon". Although it wasn't a magical girl series, it was also a story of love and hope. Whenever the female lead, Shui Bingyue, was in danger, her prince charming, the Masked Knight, would appear, just like now.
Could it be …?
Thinking of this, the thirteen-year-old girl felt her heart move for the first time, and her pale face quickly turned red.
"What's wrong? I think my timing is quite good, I shouldn't have received a fatal blow, right? Could it be that you were scared silly? Hey, wake up. "
Tang Hao frowned and gently patted the girl's face.
