Chapter 633 Rabbit Haunted House
Chapter 633 Rabbit Haunted House
Fans of magical girls are generally active in various forums and in real life.
They might be children still in school, adults already working, or even middle-aged or elderly people—the latter might be unexpected, but from the perspective of the development of magical girls, this is the most normal.
After all, it's been fifty years since the first magical girl was created. The child who used to sit in front of the big-screen TV and excitedly shout the famous line "Magic light shines!" is probably now a middle-aged man or woman in her fifties or sixties.
It is precisely because of this long-standing tradition, and the continuous emergence of new generations of magical girls who risk their lives to protect the city, that the spontaneous maintenance of this hobby community has been able to continue.
...Xia Taotao is perhaps the best among these groups.
She loves magical girls and expresses her love by collecting related items and making journals. Even after receiving the Guardian Star and transforming into a magical girl, she never forgets her original passion and remains steadfast in her love for what she once cherished.
But when she truly faced her inner self and witnessed the magical girls trembling and moaning in fear of her, Xia Taotao suddenly understood everything:
What I truly love is the timid expression the magical girls don't show in front of others, their melodious girlish cries, even their terrified howls have a unique charm...
For example, right now.
In this pitch-black, unfinished building, where all light has dissipated and only a faint illumination magic remains, one only needs to make a slight move to enjoy an unprecedentedly beautiful scene, a live performance more beautiful than a symphony.
"Woof woof woof woof woof ahhhhhh!!"
Arisaema Birne was startled and ran wildly around. Hyacinth tried to catch the terrified dog girl, but in the darkness at the edge of her vision, she witnessed a fleeting blood-red shadow.
This made her hair stand on end, and she didn't even have time to spare her magic to investigate what kind of ghost or spirit it was. All she could do was shout, "What's that there?!" while holding Tian Nanxing tightly in her arms to prevent her from jumping up and running away again.
As for irises and nightingales...
"I...I mean, Iris, could you please not hug me so tightly? I'm having a little trouble breathing..."
The nightingale turned pale and spoke to the iris that was almost jumping onto her.
The latter relaxed slightly, but her even paler face made her dare not loosen her grip on Nightingale's hands at all; she was just short of setting up a magic cannon and launching an indiscriminate attack on the surroundings.
Having caught a breath of fresh air, Nightingale regained her senses and caught her breath from the sudden terror. She couldn't help but think about everything that had just happened.
Is it really haunted?
Perhaps the atmosphere just now wasn't much different from a ghost story, but if we calm down and delve into the root cause, we might still be able to find some clues—could it be that the residual magic of Garuda formed a terrifying illusion? What exactly was it that scared Tian Nanxing so much that made her suddenly jump up?
The nightingale couldn't help but peek out from the silent, tense embrace of the iris, which resembled a pillow, and look towards the hyacinth and arum.
The dog girl was whimpering like a puppy, and Hyacinth was comforting her, repeatedly saying, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's okay, let's calm down." But judging from her appearance, Hyacinth herself seemed to be quite frightened.
"Arisaema, what did you see just now?" Nightingale asked.
The dog-girl sniffled and looked at her, pouting and stammering for a long time before managing to describe the noise she had just heard:
"I...I...I just suddenly heard someone say 'hello' right next to my ear, super close! They were talking right next to my ear!"
"That's why...woof..." After saying that, the dog girl was a little shy. She pouted and moved back to the ground from the hyacinth, wagging her tail. The atmosphere was slightly awkward.
But when they looked at the gloomy, dark, unfinished building around them, the fear that had calmed down was reignited, and the group had to gather together again to discuss countermeasures.
"What should we do?" Hyacinth asked.
"I think we should finish this quickly and raze this place to the ground," Iris said anxiously, wishing she could unleash the full power of the magic cannons and destroy this unfinished building instantly.
Then he was stopped by the remaining three people.
"No, please don't!" "There are still quite a few Hero Association staff around." "If this is a remnant of Garuda's dreamlike illusion, wouldn't we be playing right into their hands by firing indiscriminately like this?"
On second thought, it seemed to make sense, so Iris reluctantly gave up the idea.
"How about we investigate this area? The most concentrated magic is in these factory buildings around here. If we can find the magic core, we might be able to destroy this place in one fell swoop," Nightingale suggested, which sounded like a feasible idea.
Compared to Iris's plan to overturn the table, Nightingale's plan was clearly closer to everyone's primary goal of entering the interior. The four of them found the nearest stairwell, went up to the second floor, and headed towards the place where the magic was most concentrated.
As they walked, they encountered many dark rooms that were still in their unfinished state. The lighting magic could not illuminate the interior in advance, so the hyacinth, which was walking at the front, had to strain its eyes to peek inside and observe.
The eerie atmosphere made the hyacinth feel uneasy, and she couldn't help but imagine what might happen in those dark rooms—
Maybe I'll find the magic core in the next room. If I just rush up and break it, this terrible unfinished building adventure will be over, and I can go home and enjoy the figurines I haven't had time to properly organize and display yet...
Another unfinished room entrance appeared ahead.
Nothing happened in the next few rooms. Hyacinth thought to herself, "It's nothing special, the rooms are all empty." With that thought, she raised her light magic and looked into the rooms.
The girl in sky blue stood frozen at the doorway.
Seeing her sudden pause, Nightingale and the other two stopped and looked at Hyacinth, whose face was covered in cold sweat.
A sense of foreboding rose in Iris's heart, and she tentatively asked:
"Hyacinth...what did you see?"
"........."
A long silence.
Hyacinth slowly turned her head to look at her companions, biting her lip to suppress the urge to scream. Her distorted facial expression intensified Iris's fear, causing her to tremble involuntarily.
"Th-th-this..." Hyacinth stammered, taking two steps back. "This-th-this...you'll see for yourselves..."
Iris wouldn't dare go forward no matter what, but Arisaema and Nightingale mustered their courage and stepped forward, their little heads peering out of the doorway of the unfinished room into the dim interior, staring intently.
A humanoid figure with disheveled hair lay sprawled in the center of the room, the entire room shrouded in splattered blood. A deep, blood-red eye was clearly visible amidst the messy hair, staring intently at the doorway.
"Aaaaaaah, this is so scary!!"
Without hesitation, the girls turned and ran, screaming as they returned the way they came, terrified that if they were a step too late, they would be devoured alive by the horrible monster in the room.
But then a pink rabbit ear peeked out from the room, half of its little head looking in the direction the girls had fled in terror, revealing an even more delighted smile than before.
"Ah...what a beautiful lament..."
"I never imagined that magical girls could make such sounds with something so simple... How wonderful..."
The screams of the magical girls gradually faded away, and the four returned to the starting point, still immersed in the terrifying scene they had just witnessed.
In the darkness, the figure of the camera familiar quietly emerged, focusing on the terrified faces of the magical girls.
The golden-haired fox girl calmly watched the scene transmitted back by the familiars, exchanged a glance with the gray wolf beside her, and said:
"Well, doggy, don't you think Bunny's behavior is a little too strange?"
"First of all, I am a wolf. Secondly, I don't find her acting strange at all; her usual expressions are even more manic than this," Fenrir said calmly.
"But with her tendency to go crazy anytime, anywhere... I think separating her from Meng Donghua was actually a good decision."
"Right, right? If Meng Donghua becomes more like Tu Tu, I think her public image will definitely be distorted to a considerable extent in the future," Su Tianqing replied.
At least in the current forum trend, the two newcomers, Meng Donghua and Jinzhanhua, are taking the cute route. The short videos they occasionally post on their personal accounts are also cute and adorable, somewhat similar to the style of the rest of Bai Lili's team except for Bai Lili herself.
I can't imagine what Meng Donghua's videos would be like if she adopted the style of Rabbit. It just so happens that both of Rabbit's hometowns are in Northeast China, so their style would probably be completely different.
[Family, we caught a weirdo today! Look, I'll ram it into the ground with two hammer blows. If I can't ram it in two blows, then it's a failed attempt!]
...The current cute and fresh style is definitely better.
"But I'm actually quite curious, is this pitch-black place really a remnant of Garuda's magic? Could it be dangerous?"
Fenrir suddenly remembered something and asked aloud.
The golden-haired fox girl smiled and extended one finger, waving it left and right.
"Of course not."
"Doggy, did you notice? Actually, all this darkness around us is created using a magical barrier. I, Fox, went to great lengths to set up this place~"
A magical barrier? I didn't expect Fox to be able to set up such a large barrier now... Fenrir thought to himself.
But this did not stop her from offering her second rebuttal of the day, her expression unchanged:
"I am a wolf."
