I have no regrets about my 2D world!

However, this is far from enough. The energy brought by these souls is only enough to fill one of the six and seven points representing the human soul. There is still a long way to go before the two points are filled.

As for the sephiroth of four and five representing the souls of God, Bai had already made preparations after learning about the situation in this world. This is also the reason why Bai allowed Xiaohen to reincarnate.

During this time, Madoka has been observing what Shiro has been doing. After discovering that Shiro has been collecting the 'Seeds of Sorrow', she also inquired about Shiro's origins and purpose, as well as what will happen to Homura in the end.

Shiro told Madoka that he collected the 'Seeds of Sorrow' for himself, and that they came from other worlds. Homura's ending, or everyone's ending, would satisfy everyone as much as possible.

After hearing Bai's answer, Xiaoyuan didn't ask any more questions, because just knowing this was enough. She couldn't get out anyway, so there was no point in knowing too much.

During the previous battle of Witch Night, the two watched the whole process together. Especially when Mami was injured, Madoka wanted to go out more than once, but was stopped by Shiro.

Then, in order to prevent Xiaoyuan from being stimulated again, Bai directly closed the channel in the ring that looked outward, and only opened it just now.

Seeing that Homura Akemi had left and the matter was basically a foregone conclusion, Bai released Madoka from the ring for a short time.

However, before the two of them could talk for long, a khubi appeared here.

Two small red eyes looked at the two figures, and an expressionless voice came out, "It's really strange, why is there another Kaname Madoka here, and also a magical girl? And this human, we shouldn't have offended you, why did you kill us so many times?"

Madoka's bow and arrow appeared, and she glanced at Bai, asking for his opinion. Bai shook his head.

After going through so much with Shiro, Madoka already knew that witches were transformed magical girls, so she no longer had any good feelings towards Kyubey. She looked at Shiro and asked if she could kill him.

Bai shook his head, indicating that there was no need. This world would soon reverse, and even if this Kyubey was killed, it would reappear somewhere else. There was no need to waste magic power.

Then, without paying any attention to Kyubey's questions, the whole world seemed to be paused, all things stopped moving, and then started to replay, and Madoka had returned to the ring.

The witch's figure fell back into the soul gem decorated with a bow, and the breath of Madoka on the ground gradually appeared. Bai stopped moving, and the world moved forward again. Looking at Madoka groaning on the ground, Bai gently waved his arm, and the black soul gem in Madoka's hand gradually returned to its original pink appearance.

Then Xiaoyuan gradually regained consciousness, opened her eyes and looked at Bai.

After a moment, Bai's figure and Madoka from this world disappeared from the spot.

Chapter 5 The Poor Blue-Haired Child

I woke up in the familiar bed again, and when I opened my eyes I saw the same white ward.

Recalling what happened before, Homura Akemi decided to tell Mami Tomoe, Madoka Kaname and the others that witches are transformed magical girls.

I still had to wait until the time came for me to be discharged from the hospital, go to school, and meet Madoka, but this time there was one more magical girl.

"Even though you said so, there may not be any benefit for Kyubey to tell such a lie." A girl with blue hair and blue eyes turned her head away, somewhat dissatisfied with what Homura Akemi said.

Kyubey helped her realize her wish and didn't get anything from her. But this magical girl who came from nowhere actually wanted to frame Kyubey with just one sentence. Isn't that too naive?

As for the idea that the witch is a transformed magical girl, it is too absurd. Besides, no one has ever seen it, so who knows whether it is true or not.

"Are you trying to sow discord with these words?" The blue-haired girl looked at Homura Akemi, her eyes full of doubt.

"No, no..." Homura's somewhat weak response aroused the blue-haired girl's vigilance. However, Homura could not provide strong evidence. Even though she had said that she came from the future, no one really believed her.

Homura Akemi didn't realize that the current situation was different from the previous two times.

Seeing that Homura Akemi couldn't refute it, the blue-haired girl asked again, "Could it be that you and that girl named Anzi are together?"

Homura Akemi was speechless. Although she didn't know who Anzu was, it didn't prevent her from seeing that the blue-haired girl's words were not a compliment.

Seeing the tense atmosphere between the two, Madoka Kaname stepped in to smooth things over. "Sayaka-chan, we feel like we've been provoked."

The girl called Sayaka's full name is Sayaka Miki. She has been a good friend of Madoka Kaname since childhood, so even if she is a little dissatisfied now, she will still listen to some of Madoka Kaname's suggestions.

Sayaka snorted and turned her head away, "No matter what, I don't want to team up with this kid."

Although the two had a conflict, Sayaka did not act on impulse, as can be seen from the way she addressed Homura Akemi. Her reluctance to team up was also because her ability was melee, while Homura Akemi's only means of fighting was bombs, which could easily cause her to accidentally injure herself.

"Even though Madoka and Mami-san also have ranged attacks, they can't affect me. But let's forget about the bomb exploding right in front of us."

Mami on the side also looked over with some distress. She had no idea what to do about the poor compatibility of their fighting situations.

"Xiaomei, do you have any other ways to fight?"

"Let me...think about it..."

Inside a local community, black and white suddenly enveloped the place, and the world was instantly paused. A figure with pigtails in black slowly walked in.

Ignoring the club members who were paused at the table, Homura Akemi gently opened the cabinet where the items were placed and saw the modern weapons inside.

He kept picking up sabers, pistols, shotguns and explosives and putting them into his shield space, and the determination in his eyes became more and more obvious.

Meanwhile, in a space away from Homura Akemi's observation, Shiro watched all this with a smile. "Madoka, how about I get Homura something more useful? These gunpowder weapons are a bit too primitive. I have lightsabers that can split buildings in half, sniper rifles that can penetrate tanks, and even machine guns that fire without bullets. I'd also like a mecha if I could."

As Bai finished speaking, the two rings on his hands emitted pink light at the same time, and Bai could clearly feel the rejection coming from them.

"Wouldn't it be easier to fight these witches that way? As for safety, don't worry, with some good training there won't be any problems."

The ring's light flashed, and Bai sighed helplessly, "Well, there really is no time to train her now, so let's wait until later."

After giving up on giving Homura Akemi some weapons from the Battle World, Shiro looked at Homura Akemi and began to think.

Half a month had passed since arriving in this parallel world, meaning the Witch Night would arrive in half a month. Having already visited Earth in the previous parallel world, Bai was already familiar with where witches and seeds of lamentation were.

So, within a short period of half a month, Bai had collected all the witches and seeds of sorrow that appeared in this world for a short period of time. When the sixth and seventh particles were almost full, he also kept some seeds of sorrow for future experiments, such as trying to reverse the witch's return...

Inside a witch's barrier, a witch resembling a mermaid holding two swords was "performing" on a stage.

Since Homura Akemi had already told them that Witch Night was coming soon, even though they didn't quite believe it, Tomoe Mami still called a girl named Sakura Kyoko from Kazamino City over just in case.

Sakura Anko was born in the neighboring Kazami City. She also became a magical girl in her early years. She has a good relationship with Mami Tomoe and once asked Mami Tomoe for advice on fighting methods.

As the mermaid witch continued to play, countless attacks appeared around the group, but they were all dodged. As if realizing her attacks were ineffective, she laughed playfully, and the force of her attacks gradually increased. A tire, almost as big as them, flew towards them.

Because Kaname Madoka kept giving words of advice and trying to restore Sayaka, who had transformed into a witch, her balance became unstable and she fell to the ground.

Instantly, numerous tires flew towards Kaname Madoka. The sound of turning gears filled the air, and the world went black and white.

Homura Akemi ran in front of Madoka Kaname, blocked all attacks, and at the same time placed a bomb next to the mermaid witch.

The gears turned, and the tires flying towards Kaname Madoka were shattered in an instant, and the mermaid witch's figure turned into ashes in the explosion.

As the witch disappeared, the barrier surrounding her also disappeared, and so did the body of Miki Sayaka, which no one had noticed.

The surroundings returned to their original state, and several people stood there silently. Faced with this scene that confirmed the truth of Homura Akemi's words, it was finally Sakura Anko who took the first action.

He hammered the object beside him angrily and lowered his head slightly, his eyes hidden by his bangs, unable to show any expression. "Qikexiu! Why did it become like this!"

Kaname Madoka had already fallen to her knees, tears welling up in her eyes. "Why is this happening? This is too much!"

Homura Akemi also looked unwilling, but she could do nothing.

Suddenly, a yellow ribbon wrapped around Homura Akemi's body, binding her tightly. Then, accompanied by a gunshot, the gem on Sakura Anko's chest exploded instantly, turning into red broken crystals that fell to the ground. Sakura Anko also fell to the ground, her eyes losing their luster.

Chapter 6: Those who don't speak out will be punished

Seeing the clothes on Sakura Anzi remain unchanged, Homura Akemi looked at Tomoe Asami in shock, "Toma-senpai! Why?"

Mami Tomoe had a look of despair, tears streaming down her face. Her body trembled as she raised her gun to point at Homura Akemi, "If the Soul Gem can give birth to witches, then won't we all become witches? In that case, wouldn't it be better for us all to just die? That way, no witches will be born!"

"No, that's not the case!" Homura Akemi struggled to retort, but was bound tightly by Mami Tomoe's ribbons, and she couldn't use the time stop. Mami Tomoe obviously knew the weakness of her ability.

Her time stop will be released as long as she is touched, and the ribbon serves as a link between them at this moment, so Mami will not fall into the state of time stop.

"Tomb-senpai..." Homura Akemi didn't know how to refute, but Tomoe Asami's gun was already pointed at her Soul Gem.

A pink light flashed by, and Kaname Madoka took the lead and shot an arrow at the soul gem on Mami's head.

Just when the pink arrow was about to hit Asami's soul gem, the world fell into black and white. Homura Akemi stared at everything in front of her in a daze, not understanding what was happening. She... couldn't activate her ability?

"Oh my, I can't bear to watch this anymore."

A gentle voice was heard, and Bai's figure appeared in front of Homura Akemi.

"Hello, Homura-chan." Looking at the dazed Homura Akemi, Shiro smiled.

"You are..." Homura Akemi looked at Bai who appeared in front of her, and something came to her mind.

"I think I saw you when I transformed into a magical girl?"

Homura Akemi recalled the first time she transformed into a magical girl and began her reincarnation. The last figure she saw there was a perfect match for the Shiro in front of her.

"That's right. It seems that you have a good memory. You can recognize me after only meeting me once." Bai looked at the current Homura Akemi with satisfaction. He had to say that Mami's binding posture was still very good.

Her feet are off the ground, her arms are tied behind her back, her shoulders are fixed, and her two pigtails and legs wrapped in black pantyhose are swinging constantly, which looks quite charming.

"Well, let me introduce myself." Bai bowed slightly, then looked at Homura Akemi. "Space-Time Administration, Bai, because you've been traveling through time and space recklessly and affecting the order of space and time, I'm here to stop you."

After making up a simple self-introduction that had nothing to do with the name, Bai waited for Homura Akemi's reaction.

After hearing what Bai said, Homura Akemi was stunned for a moment, and then something suddenly occurred to her, "Space-Time Administration? Then can you save everyone?"

"Hmm?" Bai looked at Homura in disbelief. "Shouldn't you first ask me why I wanted to stop you?"

"But, if you can do such a thing, I can't stop you." Homura Akemi looked at the time that was stopped around her, and then looked at Bai in confusion. If it were her, she would definitely not be able to let others move freely.

...Okay, Bai admitted, there was something wrong with his calculations. He hadn't expected Homura to just give up on stopping him. Shouldn't he have asked why he stopped her, and then challenged him with a look of resignation for Madoka's sake?

"I can indeed save them." Bai nodded slightly and spoke slowly and methodically to make Homura Akemi happy.

Homura Akemi was indeed excited when she heard Shiro's confirmation, "That's great!"

"But why should I save them?" Bai suddenly tilted his head and asked Homura Akemi in confusion.

"Eh!"

"Or rather, what good would it be for me to save them?"

Shiro's words left Homura speechless. She wanted to say something, but she didn't know how. She was about to move her arms when she realized she was still tied up.

Hmm? Can you still move?

Homura Akemi's eyes brightened.

"So, do you need me to do something?" Homura Akemi asked, looking at Bai expectantly.

That's right, if the person in front of me just wanted to stop me, he wouldn't have said so much to me, and he would let me go alone. It's very likely that he wants me to do something.

Thinking of this, Homura Akemi also made a decision. No matter what the cost, as long as she could save Madoka and everyone else, she would agree to it.

The corners of Bai's mouth curled up slightly. It was worth it that he waited for so long and finally heard Homura Akemi say this.

"Here's a contract with everything you own as collateral. If you sign it, everything you own will belong to me, and I will help you rescue them. I won't restrict your movements, so you can do whatever you want. But when I need your help, you have to come."

As soon as she finished speaking, a piece of parchment, like the one found in fairy tales for dark magicians, appeared in front of Homura Akemi, listing the words she could understand.

"I am willing to sacrifice everything I have in exchange for Bai from the Space-Time Administration rescuing the magical girl Kaname Madoka and five others. I will continue to live freely from now on. However, if Bai needs my help, I will not refuse it for any reason."

At the bottom of the contract was a simple signature of "white".

With just a few simple words, if it was Homura Akemi in normal times, she would definitely be able to find the problem, but unfortunately, Homura Akemi is not in the mood to think too much now. When she saw that she could save several people, she made up her mind to sign the contract.

"How should I sign?" Seeing that there was no place to sign on the parchment in front of her, and she was tied up, Homura Akemi looked up and asked Bai.

"You just need to say I agree." Ignoring the two rings in his hands that kept emitting pink light, Shiro smiled and explained to Homura Akemi how to sign the contract.

"Really?" Homura's gaze returned to the parchment, and she opened her lips slightly, "I agree!"

As Homura Akemi's voice fell, her name appeared on the parchment and then disappeared from sight.

The world seemed to have undergone some inexplicable changes. Homura Akemi felt that she seemed to have some connection with the person in front of her, but she did not continue to think about it.

"Can we save them now?" Homura Akemi looked at Bai expectantly, hoping to get the answer she wanted from him.

However, he saw Bai nodded and then shook his head.

“Yes, but not completely.”

"What does this... mean?" Homura Akemi suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart.

"I can save everyone except Madoka, but Madoka is the only one I can't save right now."

"Why? Why can I save them but not Kaname-san?"

"It's not yet time."

"It's not time yet? What time? Is it because Kaname-san has nothing to do right now?" Homura Akemi looked at Shiro in confusion.

Is it because something happened to the others that we talked about saving them, but Xiaoyuan is fine, so she doesn't need to be saved now?

"That's about right. It's not time for me to take action yet. You can handle Xiaoyuan's problem for the time being." Bai nodded slightly. It was indeed not time for him to take action yet.

Originally, he came to this world just to observe human souls, but after learning about the situation in this world, his plan was changed.

Since Madoka hasn't become a god yet, it's convenient for him to do some things. When she becomes a god, maybe he can get Madoka in her godly state directly. However, the only person who is uncomfortable in the plan is Homura Akemi, so Shiro also has the idea of ​​compensating her after he finishes it.

From the moment Homura Akemi signed the contract, none of the five of them would die under Shiro's care. This could be considered as fulfilling the contract, so Shiro did not deceive Homura Akemi.
