Chapter 61 Magical Girl Website 2
drop--
The rusted signal lights struggled to light up, and the dim red light seeped into the cracks between the rails. The wheezing sound of the train rolling through the tunnel repeatedly dissipated between the concrete walls and was finally swallowed up. A few gray pigeons flew over the tracks, and their feathers left sticky scratches in the air.
The picture suddenly froze.
Color began to collapse from the edges, first fading to gray, then dissolving into a blur of noise.
"ah--"
Cold sweat soaked her back, and Zhou Yue woke up from another nightmare.
…
Since I couldn’t sleep anyway, I turned on my computer and a website popped up again.
Through the screen, I saw a few big words written on the website: Magical Girl Website.
Then more words popped up on the screen.
——When despair turns into strength, revenge is redemption.
Do you want to change your destiny?
Sign a contract and become a magical girl.
Click "Confirm" and you'll be all set.
ah--
It was this website again. After looking at the words on the webpage and thinking for a while, Zhou Yue turned off the computer and lay back on the bed.
…
The lunch break in the classroom was always extra long. Zhou Yue was sitting in the corner of the window seat as usual, biting on the dried white bread.
The classmates around her gathered in twos and threes, sharing fruits and snacks brought from home. Laughter floated in the classroom like bubbles, but not a single sound drifted towards her.
"Hey, look at that guy. He's pretending to be pitiful again." A girl's voice came. The volume was not loud, but it was just loud enough for half of the people in the classroom to hear.
She shook her ponytail with a bow and raised her voice deliberately: "Sitting alone all day is really unlucky."
Zhou Yue's fingers froze, and the bread left sticky sweat stains on her palms. She lowered her head, her bangs falling to cover her eyes, pretending not to hear.
"Oh my yogurt!" At this moment, someone suddenly screamed.
Before she could react, the cold liquid had already dripped down her hair onto her new school uniform.
The classroom erupted in laughter.
Zhou Yue's hands were shaking so badly that she wiped the school uniform with a napkin, but it only made the stain spread further.
I can’t do this, I can’t do this, my brother will punish me if I do this, she thought.
She could hear the girl and her two followers apologizing exaggeratedly: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it~" But she no longer cared.
…
In the café,
"Are you saying that the reason you entered that copy was because you were checking out a magical girl website?" The little cat girl asked after taking a sip of the latte in her hand.
"Yes." Ye Xiaoxuan replied.
"Isn't that an urban legend?" the little cat girl wondered.
“But it’s really coming up now.”
…
The so-called "Magical Girl Website" is a mysterious website that has recently appeared on the Internet.
Legend has it that late at night, when loneliness and pain devour the soul, a mysterious website will quietly emerge.
Only "desperate girls" can see its entrance - on the dark interface, a line of blood-red text slowly emerges: Here, girls can obtain "magic" and take revenge on those who hurt them.
But there is no free lunch in the world. Becoming a magical girl and having magic comes at a price - every time you use your power, your soul will be eroded by one point. When the erosion value reaches 100%, the user will completely become a "monster" and be recycled by the website.
"Magic is not a gift, it's a curse."
"The end of revenge is self-destruction."
This is the summary of this urban legend.
…
"This girl was once a fan of mine. She told me about this a few days ago. I am still investigating it."
Ye Xiaoxuan said this half-truthfully and took out a photo from her bag.
It was a neat ID photo with a blue background.
In the photo, the girl was wearing a slightly loose blue school uniform with a corner of the collar sticking up uncomfortably.
She has short hair that reaches her ears, and the ends of her hair are uneven, as if she had trimmed it herself.
Her expression was stiff, the corners of her mouth were forced upward, and her eyes showed helplessness. The overly strong flash of the photo studio left two shiny spots on the tip of her nose and forehead, making her skin look a little red.
There were blurry words printed at the bottom of the photo, which seemed to be the name of the photo studio, and there was a trace of half a fingerprint on the edge.
The orange-yellow light shone on the photo, illuminating a corner of the photo.
"At first, I didn't take the site seriously. My focus was on another site called 'Desperate Teens'. I was thinking: what kind of thing could make a 12-year-old girl desperate?"
"Domestic violence? Sexual assault? School bullying? I didn't dare to think about it, so I took decisive action."
"If you want to help someone, you have to know who she is, right? So as soon as I knew about this, I started to contact her privately. I first confirmed the authenticity of the situation through private messages on the platform or known contact information, and then expressed my concern through private messages: 'I just saw your message and I'm worried about you. Can you tell your sister what happened?' I think that's what I said at the time."
"Then I started to collect information, gently asking about the specific form of bullying, duration, people involved, and saving all the evidence, and things went very smoothly. Then I started to provide her with psychological support, emphasizing that it was not her fault, and in order to better help her recover, I also tried to visit her family."
After hearing Ye Xiaoxuan's statement, the little cat girl nodded affirmatively.
After all, in his opinion, Ye Xiaoxuan's behavioral measures are textbook-like, and all actions are carried out in secret, which not only provides practical help but also avoids complicating the incident due to her identity as an internet celebrity; all actions prioritize the girl's psychological and practical safety.
If things ended here, everyone would be happy, but...
"But it's not that simple. In order to help her recover better, I also tried to visit her family." Ye Xiaoxuan repeated what she said before, then swallowed her saliva and continued: "But during the visit to the family, I found that this little girl has no parents at home, only a brother."
Having said that, Ye Xiaoxuan seemed to have thought of something. She suddenly looked up and looked towards the little cat girl, with shock in her eyes that was hard to conceal.
"Mr. Li," she said, "Although I can't tell you how I know this, I can say for sure that the girl's brother has problems. Not the kind of problems on a legal level, but the kind of problems on a supernatural level."
Thinking of this, Ye Xiaoxuan paused again and recalled what happened that day. Who did she see in the little girl's house that day?
She saw a head of silver hair. It was the silver-haired man who had appeared in Lao Wang's copy and then appeared in Director Li's consciousness.
“That’s when things started to get magical.”
