Chapter 72 In Danger
As one of the basic techniques, magic barrier is a compulsory course for most magicians, even magical girls.
Barriers have many functions. First, they can be used for defense to resist other people's magical attacks; second, they can create an enclosed space, which is very practical whether it is for besieging enemies, protecting yourself, soundproofing, or serving as an experimental site.
The huge magical barrier now covering the welfare home is also an application of this technique.
However, Tian Sheng couldn't do it to that extent. To let the magic barrier cover such a huge building complex, it would be impossible even if he had the strength to control it. It must be done by an entire group.
I guess they are the group of people chasing after him.
He picked out a dice that looked the freshest from the dice in his hand, held it in his hand, and as the magic power surged, fine, shining lines appeared on the dice.
The black-robed man behind him also had a bright light in his hands, and then several red, burning magic bullets shot out from his hands and went straight to Tian Sheng's head.
At the same moment, when the magic bullet was about to hit, Tian Sheng handed the dice behind him, and in a flash, a regular hexagonal magic barrier suddenly unfolded behind him.
Several magic bullets hit the magic barrier behind Tian Sheng, causing cracks in the barrier almost instantly, and making a sharp sound as if metal was being torn apart.
The technique used by the man in black robe is called Fire Bomb, which is a common attack technique of energy shaping. It is considered to be highly destructive among techniques of the same level, and its power far exceeds that of ordinary small-caliber thermal weapons.
During the confrontation, both of them could clearly see that, in addition to the fire bombs that hit the barrier, those that missed hit the barrier and easily created several deep holes on the wall of the corridor.
The two spells remained in a stalemate behind Tian Sheng for less than two seconds. Finally, the fire bomb went out, but his magic barrier also exploded directly.
boom! The structure of the technique was shattered at the distance closest to the body. The strong impact produced by the explosion of the fire bomb pushed Tian Sheng, exceeding his original running speed, causing him to fly into the air immediately, and then he rolled uncontrollably.
Looks like that's it.
As he was flying in the air, he suddenly understood this.
After I landed, the two people behind me would definitely have prepared the next spell, and by that time, neither I nor the little girl on my shoulder would be able to escape.
He didn't know that those people's target was Bai Jingxuan, but that didn't stop him from hoping that this child, who had lived a short ten-year life full of misfortunes, could survive.
When it comes to studying magic, he is a rookie who cannot be called a magician; but in real life, he is a caregiver in this welfare home.
His duty as a caregiver tells him that these children who have ended up here because of misfortunes in life deserve a happy future.
So he used up his last bit of strength, released his hands in the air, chose a relatively low angle, and threw Bai Jingxuan off his shoulder.
After a while, he fell to the ground first, grimacing in pain.
Bai Jingxuan, who was not far away, was slightly better off. She fell to the ground sideways and rolled several times along the corridor before stopping.
She raised her head, blinked through her dusty face, and looked at Tian Sheng in some surprise.
"Your illness won't last that long, will it?"
Tian Shengze lay on the ground and forced an ugly smile at Bai Jingxuan: "Don't let my efforts be in vain, run quickly."
Only then did Bai Jingxuan realize that her legs had regained some sensation.
However, compared to her legs regaining consciousness and becoming light again, she felt her heart suddenly become extremely heavy.
She is a sensible child and she knows what to do and when.
Even though she was unwilling in her heart, she understood the current situation and heard what Tian Sheng meant. She knew that turning around and leaving would be the best thing to do for him.
"Thank you."
Without hesitation, she spoke softly, then supported herself with her hands, rolled and crawled to her feet again, and stumbled away.
Behind her, Tian Sheng watched her leave with a grin on his face, then clenched the dice in his hand, with a ruthless look on his face, and resolutely performed the next spell behind him.
The futile battle began again.
Hearing the fierce sound of the collision of techniques behind her, Bai Jingxuan almost turned back, but she suppressed the impulse and continued running with gritted teeth.
Soon, she finally ran to the stairs on the other side of the corridor.
It was here that she encountered another unexpected existence.
"...Moko?"
She saw a pink cat-shaped fairy knocking on the window outside the corridor, opening its mouth wide at her, as if shouting something.
Without time to hesitate, she opened the window and let Mo Ke in.
"Xiao Xuan! Huh, huh... I finally found you, run!"
Mo Ke rushed in from the window, first shouting excitedly, then stopped to catch his breath for a moment, and then continued shouting: "I heard their conversation, their target is you!"
It brings an outdated message with an excited tone.
"Yes, I understand."
Bai Jingxuan, who was also out of breath but calm inside, nodded.
"Eh? Do you already know?"
Mo Ke was stunned at first, looking a little embarrassed, then he straightened his face and said seriously: "Anyway, the entire welfare home is now blocked by a magic barrier. It is unrealistic to escape, but we can find a place to hide first!"
"Where to hide?" Bai Jingxuan asked in confusion.
"Eh? Don't you know where to hide?"
Mo Ke was stunned again, with a bit of embarrassment on his face, but soon he said seriously: "Let's run first! Those guys behind us are about to catch up again! The sound of the battle just now will attract other bad guys!"
It is not wrong in this regard.
Because it was also attracted by the sound of the explosion.
After discovering that the welfare home was blocked, Mo Ke's first thought was to go back to look for Bai Jingxuan, but on the way he overheard the conversation between the people in black robes and learned that their target was his friend.
In a hurry, he rushed to Bai Jingxuan's room, but found it empty. He could only wander around like a headless fly, looking for the girl.
In addition, at this time, there were magical fluctuations generated by magicians everywhere in the welfare home, which completely confused its already poor perception ability.
It even thought that the girl had been captured by those people and wanted to go to a more dangerous area to find out what was going on. If it hadn't been for the explosion that just happened, it wouldn't have been able to find this place.
But unfortunately, as a fairy without combat power, even if it successfully reunited with Bai Jingxuan, apart from providing the outdated information just now, it would not have any power to protect the other party. After a brief exchange, it could only persuade Bai Jingxuan to find a safer direction to escape.
So, after finding a direction, they ran towards the third floor together.
They ran all the way to the third floor and saw people running downstairs in the corridor, so they had to go to the fourth floor.
Bai Jingxuan was still running, but the scene in the corridor before her gradually lost its meaning.
Tian Sheng's action of rescuing her from the crisis just now reminded her of more distant memories.
Her thoughts were no longer in this welfare home, but had returned to three years ago, in the disaster that changed her life. Amid the noise, screams, and severe pain in her left eye, she felt the arms embracing her from the air.
In the midst of fear and chaos, that is the safest harbor.
She could even remember the girl in a pink puffy skirt who came into her sight when she tried to open her right eye wide to see clearly what was happening.
Is that the legendary magical girl? "Are you okay? Can you hold it in for a while?"
The girl's hair color was similar to that of her skirt, also a reassuring cherry pink. She looked at him with a worried and concerned expression, and with one hand outstretched, several strange patterns that could not be seen by the naked eye flew out of her hand and landed on her left eye, which had been numb from the pain.
Then, Bai Jingxuan felt no more pain.
She was groggy at the time and didn't know what to say, so she could only nod gently to the girl, but couldn't even say thank you.
"Well, wait a little longer, and you will be able to rest assured soon."
The girl placed Bai Jingxuan in her arms on the slightly flat ground: "If you are scared, just close your eyes."
Then, she soared into the air again in a flash of pink light.
Bai Jingxuan did not close her eyes. Although she was scared and felt dizzy due to blood loss, she still looked stubbornly in the direction the girl left, wanting to see the outcome of everything.
She saw the girl fly in front of the monster, she saw the girl use radiant magic to block the monster's attack, and she saw a fancy magic wand appear in the girl's hand.
Then, she heard the pink girl's righteous words:
"Magical Girl, Hanaru certification number 41055, Sakura, the elimination mission begins!"
That was the last scene she remembered before she fell into a coma.
The scenes in her memory began to become blurry, and Bai Jingxuan's pace gradually slowed down.
She stopped running, her speed became slower and slower until she finally stopped.
Mo Ke, who had escaped with her, saw no one around him. He turned around and saw Bai Jingxuan standing still. He immediately turned back and asked worriedly, "What's wrong? Did the illness flare up?"
"Fairy-little...Moko."
Bai Jingxuan's thoughts gradually came back to her senses, she walked out of her memories, and the scenery in front of her became clear again.
The memory that the pink magical girl left her in times of danger has been buried deep in Bai Jingxuan's heart like a seed.
After three years, the seed was covered in dust several times and even lost its vitality, but now, in another crisis, she found and picked it up again.
I used to be just an ordinary victim of the beast attack, lying on the ground, looking up at the light of the magical girl, looking at my own savior.
And now, everyone in the welfare home is also in crisis, including the director, Uncle Tian, caregivers, other children and the elderly… How many of these people who help them and live with them on a daily basis are in urgent need of such a savior? It’s time to make a decision and it’s time to stand up.
She took a deep breath and spoke, feeling her mind clearer than ever before: "Please tell me, what should I do now to become a magical girl?"
