Ascension journey - 506. Chapter 501-The Sense of Substitution

In the silence and darkness of the night, Xiao Meiyan who was lying on the bed slowly lifted the spare quilt of Lume’s house. Her eyes passed through the darkness and slowly scanned a circle of sparsely furnished guest rooms. Then she got out of bed and pushed gently in the dark. Opened the door and walked out of the room.

Although she is a little taller than Madoka, after all, both of them are young girls who are underdeveloped. Madoka’s pink pajamas also fit her well.

The black-haired girl in powder coat walking barefoot on the wooden floor, wandering like a ghost in this large house, without making a sound.

A lot of things happened before, whether it was the matter of becoming a magical girl or the amazing secrets she was told, it brought a great mental shock to the girl, which made her completely unable to sleep for a while.

Moreover, a strange feeling is always entwined in her heart-why, she would feel familiar here…

There is almost no need to look specifically, Xiao Meiyan knows which corner of the house she has gone to. Her pupils are shimmering with purple shimmer, as if she is walking in her own home, instinctively avoiding all kinds of furniture in the dark, Came to the outside of Madoka’s room.

The magic power stretched like hands and feet, pressing the lock tongue while eliminating the noise between the door bearing friction, Xiao Meiyan silently pushed open the wooden door of the small round room, and the probe glanced inside.

On the small bed by the window, Lu Meiyuan, holding the pink bunny doll, lay quietly on his side under the quilt, breathing gently in his sleep.

She actually fell asleep… Xiao Mi Homura, who wanted to talk to Madoka about the previous events after Madoka’s parents fell asleep, was startled, and couldn’t help but sigh silently for Madoka’s big heart.

After watching quietly for a while, Xiao Meiyan looked away from the girl on the bed and scanned the pink-colored room full of dolls.

The strange feeling of familiarity grew even higher when she saw this room. Xiao Meiyan almost saw her own observation of the room from different perspectives, and… she even knew it instinctively. Madoka is usually here. The activity pattern in the room, and…

…Which corners of the monitoring equipment will not be found by Madoka…

Xiao Meiyan’s hand against the door trembled. She was taken aback by the thoughts that came out of her heart-how could I do such a thing and monitor my friend Madoka?

After closing the door gently, Xiao Meiyan hurriedly walked across the corridor, her eyes wandering around Madoka’s house unconsciously——

The strange idea before seemed to have turned on a switch. The angle of her observing this high-end independent house had a subtle change. She seemed to see one after another dressed up by magical girls walking in this house in a still black and white world. ..

“The nature of the magical girl’s life, the parallel self with multiple world lines…” Thinking of the secrets Wen Wen had said before, Xiao Meiyan, who dared not read more, hurriedly opened the floor-to-ceiling windows of the living room and walked out of the house, she muttered softly, “. .. Are those me from other world lines? Between me and Madoka…”

The environment of the Lume’s house is excellent to a little unusual. There is a large space between the house and the wall. Some fruit trees are planted in the private garden surrounded by the lawn, and some vertical plants with small tomatoes are lined up along the edges.

Walking barefoot on the manicured lawn with her head down, the young girl with anxiety in her heart suddenly noticed that there was a figure swaying on the grass in front of her feet. She was shocked and raised her head quickly, and saw a red-haired girl with a ponytail carrying the moonlight on her back. Sitting on the railing of the balcony on the second floor, holding a book with his legs dangling gently.

“Sakura Kyoko?!” The pink pajamas instantly switched to the costume of a magical girl. Akomi Homura raised her left hand and said, “What are you doing?”

Sitting on the balcony, Kyoko Sakura glanced at the nervous girl below, then folded the book with her hands together, and jumped off the railing forcefully with her waist and abdomen.

Sakura Kyoko, who fell on the lawn, made a low-pitched gesture, and then she patted the cover of the book in her hand and said, “As you can see, I’m reading…”

Xiao Meiyan, who had been attacked by the other party before, certainly didn’t believe that the other party came to someone else’s house just to read a book, but she still couldn’t help but glance at the book cover displayed by the other party.

I saw that the white-covered book did not have any extra words on the surface, only the title and author were written in the middle——

The title of the book is “One Hundred Thousand Whys About Magic”, and the author’s line…won Wen, Chubby… and Xiao Mi Yan.

“What are you…” Xiao Meiyan was startled looking at the book in the other’s hand, and didn’t know what to say for a while…

“This is a popular science book, for magical girls…” Kyoko Sakura, who had disappeared out of thin air, took two steps. “There are a lot of magic power and normal knowledge in it. What is the theory of relativity, quantum physics, anyway. It’s a headache to watch…”

“However, some of the things in it are quite meaningful to us, such as…” Looking at the dazed Akomi Homura in the vigilance, Kyoko Sakura smirked, “In a world where time stops, material movement The relationship with the synchronization of temporal and spatial scales and so on…

“If you have time magic, you have not thought about it. If all the matter you touch is really in a state where time is stopped, any of your actions will create a light-speed collision between the matter. If that kind of thing does happen, the whole The earth will be wiped out with a bang.”

I only awakened my ability not long before, but others went deeper than my own research… Xiao Meiyan said with a slightly complicated thought, “What do you want to do? Why is there my name in that book? ?”

“I don’t want to explain to you slowly one by one-there are too many things you don’t know,” Kyoko Sakura shrugged and looked at the house next to him. “It’s like you didn’t know that I had experienced this several times. In the evening, I don’t know that we have fought several times before…”

——The ability to stop time is indeed very powerful. Even if Xiao Meiyan does not master the various weapons and techniques that cooperate with it, it is difficult for her low-dimensional body to defeat her head-on…

However, the warrior is invaluable-her vision goes beyond the timeline. As long as she can withstand the pain caused by the shock of the timeline, she can adjust the actions of the upper body at any time to erase the unfavorable future, and even “fight”. It is destroyed before it is produced…

If it weren’t for the existence of powerful interference anchors such as Akumi Homura, Kamemaru, Wenwen, etc., on this bunch of world lines, making the future uncertain in the turbulence and changes, Sakura Kyoko, who has completely mastered the timeline, is simply a god-like existence.

After a pause, Kyoko Sakura turned back to look at Akemi Homura and said, “You don’t have to worry too much. To a certain extent, I’m actually here to protect you and Madoka-if I harbor malice, just With your level of alertness, a sneak attack is definitely a good one, right?

“Do you think I’m homeless and stay here… It’s really convenient to understand the nature of the magical girl’s body without sleeping or eating, but you probably haven’t accepted this concept yet, right? Go and rest, just like Madoka did.”

Seems to be touched by the homeless sentence in Sakura Kyoko’s mouth. Xiao Mi Homura was silent for a while, then she glanced at the time buckler on her left hand, and then released the magical girl form, wearing pink pajamas staring at Sakura. Kyoko slowly walked sideways towards the house.

Seeing the black long straight girl disappear behind the French windows, Sakura Kyoko once again appeared in the hands of a strange book that is thick and difficult to distinguish. She rubbed the white cover of the book and muttered: “…Akaomi Homura’s various instant visions The feeling is getting more and more serious. This is not a phenomenon that should be in the cycle of reincarnation. The last restart was really normal…”

After relaying the multiple observation records of the night to Wenwen through the ubiquitous Chobe, Kyoko Sakura sat on the lawn casually, and continued to read 100,000 why she went under the dim moonlight.

It is said to be reading, but in essence, she just keeps turning pages. What is really reading, remembering, and understanding is her high-dimensional consciousness in the soul gem——

If she disregards the pressure of the soul in the shock of time, she can actually read through different content repeatedly in the same period of time, so as to grasp all the information in the book within a few seconds of the world time axis.

But she doesn’t need to do this. She can extend the time of reading and read slowly. After all, in this month’s world, she has “time”.

……

In a building that was abandoned halfway through its construction, a circle of distorted absurd scenes was slowly receding, Wen Wen stepped forward and reached out to catch the sigh of lament that slowly descended from the air, and after looking at it, she turned her eyes away. Turned to the direction where the Lume’s house was-

Is it different from the theoretical performance of the first reincarnation after restarting? It seems that Xiao Mi Homura is moving towards the direction of autonomously controlling the nature of the magical girl’s life… But after all, she has experienced so many reincarnations, it is not surprising that she has such a tendency. ..

In other words, Xiao Meiyan, who has mastered the magic of time, didn’t originally have this tendency to promote consciousness, which is quite abnormal… Has her dagger really changed anything?

“… Actually there is a witch manifesting here,” Bama Mei, who followed Wen Wen all the way staring at her, sighed as she looked at the sigh that was originally a magical girl in the palm of her hand. “How did you foresee it in advance?”

“I just watched the preparatory action of a certain backplane madman in a certain world line, and roughly wrote down some time, place and a little knowledge. Anyway, Kewpie can also provide accurate real-time information…” Wen Wen I skipped this topic vaguely, put away the lamentation, and asked Bamami, “Aren’t you going back to rest? You’re still a middle school student, aren’t you going to class tomorrow?”

Seeing the Seed of Lament being put away by the other party, Bumami frowned, and then sighed softly: “When is this? The soul gem and witchcraft have not been figured out yet, how could I still care about going to school? Anyway, I live alone, so I can just find an excuse to ask for leave.”

The current Bamamei doesn’t even dare to use more magical powers, because after knowing the ultimate fate of the magical girl, she has a little psychological obstacle to purifying soul gems with the Seed of Lament, and she is naturally unable to treat everything without Once happened, go back to the original rhythm of life on your own.

“Really?” Walking to the edge of the concrete frame, Wen Wen looked at the night view of the city and whispered softly, “Lu Muyuan, who is rushing home, doesn’t seem to think like you–she should continue to go to school tomorrow, right? ”

“Madaku…” Bamami paused, and said hesitantly, “…she still has important family members. It’s impossible for her to move freely like me…”

“Is this really the case?” Wen Wen, who turned around, said to the girl in front of him who had been in contact with herself in different timelines. Rhythm to live, go to school… is this really normal?”

Bamamei was a little confused for a while-thinking from the perspective of the girl Madoka, it seems to be excusable, after all, they did not affect their daily life when they fought as magical girls in the past… but the perspective is carefully selected. If you think about it, there is still something wrong…

“Bamamei… novels, movies, dramas, etc., what is the most important thing to watch and experience?”

In front of the strange girl, Wen Wen asked and replied: “It is a sense of substitution, whether it is a tragedy or a comedy, only works that can create an immersive and deep sense of substitution can cause off-site to the greatest extent. The resonance of the audience arouses their emotions…”

After saying something with unclear meaning, Wen Wen looked up to the sky. She looked at the place where the wound of the world would appear on time in the future and muttered: “So, I am willing to watch the same drama repeatedly, and always be emotionally involved in it. Is it heartless or really compassionate?”

Before she could figure out the meaning of Wenwen’s words, the blank-faced Mami Bama was thrown a white paper in her arms: “Sakura Kyoko is tossing, and I feel very uncomfortable here. This book can help She pauses for a while, and you see that there should be gains… Anyway, let’s pass the time first, maybe you will have to get the official textbook later…”

……

Deer’s home in the early morning.

Aside from being startled by Akomi Homura who was lying next to the bed when she woke up, Lu Muyuan’s life was not much different from usual.

I asked my mother to get up, set up my younger brother, wash up with my mother and talk about gossip about the school teacher, and eat the breakfast prepared by my father. Then Madoka and Homura naturally walked on the road to school.

The inertia of life is so great, as if the things that I experienced last night were dreams…Kame-maru and Akomi Homura, who couldn’t find the topic on the way to school, walked side by side. The atmosphere in the room seems to have a subtle feeling of detachment from reality…

This strange silence was quickly broken by a warm greeting——

“Madoka!” At an intersection not far from Madoka’s home, as usual, Miki Sayaka, a girl with short blue hair, who was waiting to go to school with Madoka, was waving at Madoka and the others. Holding his arm, “Here, here! Hey? How did you and Madoka come here as a transfer student?”

The blue-haired girl who ran over quickly hovered between Lu Muyuan and Akemi Homura with suspicious eyes: “I remember yesterday when school was over, the transfer student did not walk the same way as us, right?”

After a pause, she patted Xiao Meiyan’s shoulder familiarly, with an inexplicable smile on her face and said, “Forget it, Madoka must be taking care of people again, right? She is always so kind, isn’t she? ?Let’s go together…”
