Although they didn't know what Red Ponytail had done, since the boss lady Yakumo said it wasn't a bad thing, they just took it as it was. So soon after everyone rested for a while, they immediately set off and headed for the school mentioned in the rumor.
As for Red Ponytail, she still stayed in the adjustment house as before, but this time, to be on the safe side, everyone asked Xiaohuan to give orders to Red Ponytail and promised to pick her up after it was over. Although it was not clear whether Red Ponytail understood what Xiaohuan said, she just sat there quietly without saying a word - in short, this was the only way.
"No witch's reaction."
Standing on the dark and narrow stairs, Yachiyo stared at the Soul Gem in her hand, while Momoko picked up a pen and wrote her own name and Yachiyo's name on the steps.
"Write our names on the steps of breaking up, then make peace, lure the witch out, and kill her!"
Having said that, Taozi clenched her fists tightly.
"As for me and Yachiyo, we won't be defeated easily even if we are attacked."
"I have no objection."
Yachiyo nodded slightly to Momoko's plan, and then she looked behind her again at Mizunan Reina and Tamaki Iroha.
"The child didn't come with us."
"Oh, no."
Xiao Huan quickly glanced behind her, and nodded after confirming that there was no one. To be honest, she knew that Red Ponytail was a bit elusive, but this time... it seemed that she really didn't follow.
"Okay, let's go!"
“…”
At the same time, in the adjustment room, Red Ponytail was still sitting quietly on the sofa, motionless. Her blank eyes did not change at all. After an unknown amount of time, suddenly, Red Ponytail's originally dim eyes suddenly brightened.
Shit, it’s finally connected!
Feeling the familiar touch, the red ponytail - no, Fang Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. During this period of time, he had been releasing his spiritual power to search for the red ponytail, but just now, he finally felt a trace of the red ponytail's breath, and thus reconnected with his clone.
But what is going on in this world?
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 Red Ponytail disconnected from her. In fact, even now, Fangzheng's signal to Red Ponytail was vague, just like using 4G in a remote mountainous area. You can't connect unless you find a high mountain, and even if you connect, you don't know when a gust of wind will blow and the connection will be disconnected.
Anyway, let's take a look at what happened.
Thinking of this, Red Ponytail also closed her eyes and began to sort out the memories in her mind. Fortunately, the contents of the memories made Fang Zheng feel relieved. Although she was not connected, Red Ponytail still acted according to her instincts, but...
"Well……"
After exploring the memory of last night, Fang Zheng was also very upset. He certainly understood why Red Ponytail did this. Because she lost the connection, Red Ponytail could not get magic power from him, so she had to replenish magic power. As for why she chose this method - well, it can only be said that Xiao Hei had a profound influence on her...
But the other person is a cute girl, so it’s not a loss, right?
Not only did you not lose money, but you made a lot of money.
If it were a boy, he would be in big trouble.
But, Kamihama City...
While checking the memories in Red Ponytail's brain, Fang Zheng frowned. How could there still be witches in Kamihama City? Moreover, the magical girls in this city seemed to be completely different from those in his memory, and they still retained their original forms. But according to those magical girls, QB seemed to no longer exist in this city, so what was going on?
But what is certain is that there must be something unusual in this world, which has led to the current situation... huh?
At this moment, Red Ponytail suddenly felt something and raised her head abruptly to look out the window. She could feel that a strange force was condensing and exploding!
What is that?! That's not a witch's power!
Moreover, Fang Zheng could feel that, with the explosion of this force, the "line" that had been connected with great difficulty began to fluctuate again, creating an unstable situation.
This won't work! There's no other way, I have to do this!
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng had no choice but to retreat, but this time he did not disconnect, but instead modified the method of controlling the red ponytail.
After all, controlling Red Ponytail is like playing an online game for Fang Zheng, and different modes of online games require different network speeds. For example, Fang Zheng's current control of Red Ponytail is equivalent to the remote full data exchange mode of panoramic VR. Under stable network conditions, it is definitely fine to play like this, but once there is a problem with excessive interference to the network speed like now, it will not work. One is that the huge amount of data will cause packet loss during the transmission process, and the other is that too much data will cause delays - this is why Fang Zheng did not take any action after connecting to Red Ponytail this time, but only checked Red Ponytail's memory. After all, the memory stored in the brain is fixed data, but if Fang Zheng controls Red Ponytail to jump to the Pure Land now, he is afraid that the connection will be disconnected on the spot.
With the current "internet speed", it is impossible for Fang Zheng to play SAO. Even playing Call of Duty is just a dream. Devil May Cry Castlevania is out of the question. Even The Sims is not playable. The only thing Fang Zheng can "play" now is... the single-soldier hero mode of Command and Conquer.
Simply put, apart from using the mouse to click the unit to go to the destination, he can't do anything else. Even the skills can only be released by the NPC itself. The only thing Fang Zheng can control is where the red ponytail goes!
As for talking... of course that is impossible, after all, it would waste extra bandwidth!
Fang Zheng had encountered the situation of being disconnected in the middle of typing before.
Done!
After quickly switching modes, Fang Zheng breathed a sigh of relief when he felt the connection gradually stabilize. He then raised his hand and immediately manipulated the red ponytail to stand up.
Mantis shrimp, let’s go!
“Oh my…”
Seeing Red Ponytail stand up again and leave the adjustment room, Lady Boss Yakumo just smiled bitterly, shook her head and said nothing.
After all, there was no point in her saying anything, right?
Controlling the red ponytail, Fang Zheng quickly ran towards the place where the power exploded. Fortunately, the red ponytail still had some instincts and autonomous consciousness. At least when Fang Zheng pointed out a destination, she still knew how to fly and jump. So the red ponytail jumped back and forth between the high-rise buildings, and in a few seconds she arrived at the top floor of a nearby skyscraper. Then she raised her head and looked towards the center of the power explosion. Soon she saw a huge object floating in the air. It seemed to be composed of spiraling stairs and chains, and at the top there was a huge clock that looked like the one used at a wedding.
Every time the bell swung, you could see countless things resembling witches' familiars falling from it and rushing down. On the steps below, you could see several magical girls fighting with them.
Is that... a witch?
No, not a witch.
When she first saw the huge monster, Red Ponytail subconsciously thought it was a witch. But she soon discovered that this was not the case. Although this thing looked very similar to a witch, it was not a witch.
As we all know, witches are a collection of negative emotions transformed from magical girls, and they have only one consciousness. Only Witch Night is an exception, it is a collection of the resentment of countless magical girls.
But this monster is a little different. It doesn't look like an ordinary witch, but more like a copycat version of Witch Night.
That’s right, a copycat.
Witch Night is the collection of countless magical girls' resentment that has turned black. Because those blackened resentments previously possessed powerful powers as magical girls, the Witch Night that is created when these powers are gathered is extremely powerful, so it is impossible to eliminate it.
However, although the essence of this monster is very similar to Witch Night, the emotions that form it are not as pure as those of Witch Night. Its quality is also very low and its power is also very small, so it is stronger than an ordinary witch, but weaker than Witch Night.
If the power of Witch Night is 100 (mass) X100 (quantity) = 10,000 (combat power), then the power of this monster is at best 10 (mass) X10 (quantity) = 100 (combat power).
Of course, quality is difficult to improve, but quantity can be accumulated. If this monster continues to exist, it will likely become 10X100=1000. If this number can be increased to 1000, then it is not impossible for this monster to have the same strength as Witch Night.
In other words, if the quality is not good enough, the quantity can make up for it. What's more terrible is that it may actually succeed. What the hell is this thing? It can't be the child of the witch night.
From a certain perspective, this thing might be more difficult than Witch Night.
Is this something man-made? Or is it something natural?
Red Ponytail had no idea about this, but she was sure that this thing was definitely the key reason why the world had become what it is now.
It seems that we must figure out what happened here, otherwise, the entire magical girl world may be in trouble.
At the same time, under the gaze of Red Ponytail, the magical girls moved forward again and defeated the monster in one fell swoop. Soon, accompanied by a sound of breaking, the strange witch disappeared in an instant and disappeared without a trace.
Seeing this, Red Ponytail suddenly narrowed her eyes.
Because just now, she discovered something.
This witch...didn't drop the Seed of Sorrow! ?
