Toyokawa Shoko doesn't want to become a witch

Page 477

Xiangzi stopped abruptly halfway through his sentence.

She stared intently into Median's eyes, those dark pupils reflecting Xiangzi's face clearly, like a phone screen after it's turned off.

When did Medion's eyes turn black? No, I should say... when did they turn back to black?

Could it be that... her consciousness was stimulated just now and she's about to wake up?

"No, it's nothing." Xiangzi shook his head.

In that case, we can't afford to delay any longer.

We need to get her into the next level of the dream quickly.

"What's wrong?" Medine asked, puzzled.

“I have an idea. We can use this device to infiltrate the mind of this dream thief and dig out everything she knows. But this step must be decided by you. We are all just guardians of your subconscious and cannot obtain more information. Only you, yourself, can see the information inside her mind.”

"..." Medine showed a frightened expression.

Xiangzi's actions undoubtedly put her in danger; they too could be captured by the other's subconscious guard.

But......

For some reason, an image of a sea of ​​fire appeared in her mind, along with the figure of someone standing in front of her amidst the flames.

Fire, screams, the acrid smell of burning, obstructed vision, a back view blocking one's way...

Are these clips related to her?

Could what the dream thief wants be related to these fragmented pieces?

Medine clenched her fists, lowered her head, and thought for a long time.

“…Okay.” She looked up and met Xiangzi’s eyes. “Let’s do it your way.”

The Tale of Reincarnation: The Path of Fall, the Road of No Return: Chapter 630 Lightsaber Duel

Xiangzi fed Hailing the medicine in front of Medine, making her watch Hailing fall into a deep sleep, and then handed her the sleeping pills.

Medine stared intently at the glass of water laced with sleeping pills, swallowing hard.

As if she had made up her mind, she took a deep breath and then gulped down the entire glass of water in one go.

The sleeping pills quickly took effect, and Medine lay in bed, falling into a deep sleep. Then, the very moment Medine closed her eyes, Hailing opened them.

"You really went all out; my knife broke." She looked at Xiangzi, her face as expressionless as ever, but her tone was full of complaints.

"Anyway, it's just a dream, not really your sword." Xiangzi shrugged. "It wouldn't break so easily in reality either."

In reality, Hailin's sword is a weapon that magical girls are born with, and she would be at a disadvantage when fighting with a sword; a lightsaber would be more appropriate.

"This is my only chance. How am I supposed to protect you guys after this?"

Xiangzi raised an eyebrow, took out the two lightsabers she had just recreated, and tossed them to Hailing.

"Take mine. There might be enemies with lightsabers later, and your knife definitely won't be enough."

"This thing..."

Hailing gripped her lightsaber, switched it on, and swung it twice, the blue beam of light whistling through the air.

"Hmm, not handy."

“Hai Zi, you yourself are the master of dreams, so making it work for you is a piece of cake, isn’t it?” Miao Meng put her arm around Hai Ling’s shoulder. “Look, like this…”

She took the beam saber hilt from Hailing's hand, magically covered it with her hand for a moment, and then placed it back in front of Hailing's eyes.

Even those who are not the dreamers can change dreams, but they will have to take on more risks.

The sword hilt that reappeared in Hailing's eyes had been transformed into the shape of a samurai sword, and even the tsuba (handguard) had been restored.

"......"

Seeing this, Xiangzi's face suddenly turned pale.

Miao Meng thought that her playful antics were harmless, but this blatant behavior was practically telling the security guards, and even Alina, about her location. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been holding back and only using her own magic.

She sighed and muttered to herself, "Oh well, it was bound to be discovered sooner or later anyway."

Hailing held the new knife and waved it with satisfaction.

"OK, that's fine." She sheathed the katana, which only had a hilt, and turned to look at Xiangzi. "I'm ready."

"Then let's move on to the next step quickly." Xiangzi bent down and opened the Dream House. "You, He Mu, stay on this floor."

"Xiang and I will go to the next floor together."

“No, you have to stay here,” Xiangzi said. “The pressure Alina will put on you will be unimaginable. Each floor needs two people to guard it. Miaomeng is going to create the dream of the next floor, so only you can stay.”

"Then you have to be careful."

"Yes, don't worry about me."

“I’m talking about… Nirvana.” Mu looked at her worriedly. “It hasn’t come out yet.”

"...Do you remember what you saw in your dream?"

“I don’t remember… I’m just guessing.” Mu’s eyes darted away unnaturally. “The only thing related to Xiang is Nirvana.”

"Never mind, whatever happens, happens." Xiangzi hugged Mu. "Thank you for your concern."

"Ah."

============

Crash---

The heavy rain seemed endless. To the naked eye, the rain curtain could be clearly seen billowing around like a curtain, blown by the crosswind. The rainwater on the ground rippled with the movement of the rain curtain.

At this moment, the horses' hooves rolled over the small waves, followed by the iron-rimmed wheels, and then several werewolves in hot pursuit.

Raindrops fell horizontally into the carriage window, forming a thin layer of puddles on the ground.

=============

She could faintly hear the sound of rain, but there was another room opposite the window, so Hailing wasn't sure where the rain was coming from.

She stretched and looked at herself in the mirror.

“It’s time to get back to work,” she told herself.

After confirming that Xiangzi, Miaomeng, and Medien had all entered the next level of the dream, Mu Cai stood up.

Hailin emerged from the restroom, dressed in the rogue outfit she wore when transforming into a magical girl. A blue half-mask was placed on her face, revealing only her blue eyes.

"I'll lure the enemy away. You keep an eye on them." Hailing tucked the beam saber she had modified to her liking into her belt and turned to look at Mu.

"You want to... go outside the sedan chair?" Mu seemed to understand what she meant.

"That way, you'll attract more attention."

"You're under too much pressure all by yourself."

“It’s not a big deal for me.” Hailing adjusted the new sword at her waist, the hilt clinking together with a crisp sound. “Without any worries, I can perform better.”

=============

"Rebecca—!" Chu Hua shouted, gripping the reins.

The dull thud of metal striking a skull pierced the rain, and Rebecca's response came belatedly.

"I'm really busy, what are you doing?!"

"They've almost blocked the way, I need to go deeper into the forest!"

Rebecca punched one werewolf away, then flung it at another werewolf trying to jump on top of it. The two werewolves tumbled down, like roadblocks, tripping up a whole group of werewolves.

"It's only been a short time, isn't it too fast to head into the forest now?!" Rebecca shouted.

Even though the two people were less than a carriage apart, the sound of the rain was so loud that they had to shout to hear each other.

At this point, the carriage returned to the original intersection, but werewolves were already waiting along the route they had taken, so they could no longer go in that direction.

Continuing forward, it's the same.

Every time they traveled a path, they would leave behind a few werewolves waiting there, completely blocking the way.

"There's nowhere left to go!"

Chu Hua pulled on the reins, dragging the car towards the outside of the city.

"We're about to enter the forest, be prepared for a bumpy ride, don't let the car get thrown off!"

===========

Hailing had just stepped out of the room and taken a few steps toward the elevator when she saw the elevator doors ding.

Someone stopped on this floor.

She placed her hand on the hilt of the knife, ready to strike at any moment.

The elevator doors opened to the sides, revealing a geisha in red standing in the center. The geisha looked up, and a crack suddenly appeared in her porcelain-like face.

The puppet opened its mouth, revealing a cannon barrel inside, and the red light inside the barrel changed from dim to bright.

锔——!

A crimson beam of light shot out from the cannon barrel, heading towards Hailing.

hum!

Hailing gripped the hilt of her katana and drew it from its sheath. A green beam of light extended from the hilt in mid-air, colliding with the crimson beam and producing a loud hum.

The crimson beam of light shifted, burning a charred hole in the wall.

Hailing held a green samurai lightsaber in both hands, the blade hanging down, facing the puppet across the corridor.

锔——!

Another shot was fired, but it was unsurprisingly deflected by the lightsaber.

The Hailing started moving.

She strode towards the cannon puppet in the elevator lobby.

A rumbling sound replaced the sound of rain, and at the same time, the gravity of the entire hotel shifted to one side.

================

The road to the forest was not smooth. After leaving the neat road paved entirely with bluestone slabs, the road outside the city became a stone slab road with gaps. Muddy water seeped out from the gaps, turning the water that had accumulated on the ground into an earthy yellow color.

The vehicle became bumpy, and Chu Hua had to exert more effort to control the horse's speed and the vehicle's balance.

"Rebecca, how are the pursuers doing?!"

"That's a bit less! Can you wander around in the forest for a while?"

"I'll do my best—"

Boom!

Before he could finish speaking, a violent impact came from the side of the carriage.

Chu Hua looked in astonishment in the direction from which the impact came.

It was a huge monster with a deer's head, its black fur, which exuded a strong sense of vengeance, clump together in the rain like sharp spikes, and shone with an eerie sheen in the darkness. Its right arm was very thin, but it had an incredibly thick left arm with bulging muscles.

The deer-headed monster used its left arm as a shield and crashed directly into the carriage from the side.

The immense force sent Rebecca flying, the carriage tumbling and landing on the side of the road, the two horses pulling the carriage being pulled together by their reins and rolling on the water.

Water splashed into the carriage from outside the window. Rebecca had secured everyone in the carriage to their seats with belts, preventing them from being thrown out by the rolling carriage.

The Hailing was stuck on the conveyor belt, spinning around with the carriage.

================

The body in the previous dream also shifted at a large angle as the vehicle swayed. A few seconds of shift, multiplied by twenty, amounted to nearly a minute.

In room A-345, Mu had woven the entire room into a large net, securing everyone firmly within it, so that no matter the direction of gravity, no one would feel anything.

This is the source of the vibration and deflection, Hailing clearly understands!

The instant gravity shifted, her feet were already airborne, stepping onto the wall to her right and pushing forward with force.

The forward force turned into an upward force halfway through, overcoming gravity and approaching the elevator shaft, while the puppet that fired the cannon fell directly out of the elevator shaft due to the deflection of gravity, landing in the direction of Hailing.
