I have no regrets about my 2D world!

As for why you don’t save Xiaoyuan now, the contract doesn’t specify when to save her.

"But what about Witch Night?" Homura Akemi breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that Bai was not taking action because the time had not come yet, but then she remembered the issue of Witch Night.

"It's okay, I will take action when the time comes." Bai nodded slightly and answered Homura Akemi's question.

Although he said he would take action when the time comes, he didn't say what he would do.

Why did he suddenly feel a bit like Kyubey? Bai shook his head gently, throwing these thoughts out of his mind.

At least I won't do anything to harm them like Kyubey did.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Bai." After getting Bai's assurance, Homura Akemi finally relaxed completely. She could feel that the previous contract was also valid for Bai, so she also thought that Bai would do these things seriously.

Then Homura Akemi looked at the suspended situation around her and asked, "What should we do now?"

"That's easy. I'll take them away for treatment later. You can also use the contract to determine whether I saved them. However, you and Madoka will need to explain what happened after they disappeared."

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai waved his hand, and Mami and Kyoko disappeared, but Homura Akemi was still tied up with a ribbon.

"Okay, now that the matter has been resolved, I'll leave first. There are still two restless kittens waiting for me to comfort them." With a slight smile, Bai left without waiting for Homura Akemi to ask any questions.

After Shiro vanished, the world returned to color, and the ribbons around Homura vanished. Kaname Madoka continued to draw her bow, but Tomoe Mami and the arrow she had shot also vanished.

Madoka Kaname looked around in confusion, not understanding what was happening. Then she noticed Homura Akemi falling to the ground and asked.

"Homurasa-chan, what happened just now? Where did Mami-san and Anzu go?"

Homura Akemi sat quietly on the ground, unsure how to respond. Although Shiro had said he hadn't forbidden her from explaining the situation to Madoka, he hadn't stopped her from touching her, clearly not wanting her to know. So, was she going to lie herself?

Homura Akemi thought silently. For someone like her who had been a good kid since childhood and had never lied before, lying was really difficult for her, especially to her friend. But thinking about what had just happened, she still lied with difficulty, "Kaneme-san, actually..."

Homura Akemi suddenly stopped talking. If she remembered correctly, she seemed to have heard Bai calling Madoka "Mantou Ka-chan" just now?

Chapter 7: The Abduction Was Successful

In a courtyard in the void, Bai sat cross-legged on the grass, his eyes fixed on the three 'corpses' on the ground in front of him, his lips constantly opening and closing, as if he was communicating with someone.

After a moment, a helpless look appeared on Shiro's face. "Madoka, do you believe me when I say I'm doing this for Homura's own good?"

"But this is so unfair to Xiaoyan." A slightly unwilling voice came from a ring.

"That's right, and what about the contract just now? Why did we have to sign such a contract?" A voice came from another ring, and it was exactly the same as the previous one.

Hearing the two's voices, Shiro smiled softly, "Because I'm very interested in Homura, wouldn't this give her a reason to follow me?"

"Eh?!" A cry of surprise came from the ring, followed by an awkward voice filled with anticipation and curiosity, "Um, does Mr. Bai like Xiao Yan?"

"That's right." Bai nodded gently, with a smile on his face. "Don't you think Homura is cute? Especially now that she's so soft and cute, she's really nice."

"But if you just like Homura, you don't need to sign a contract like that, right? Besides, Homura is just a middle school student. If Mr. Shiro really likes her, why not wait a little longer? If Homura is reluctant by then, I...I will help you!"

After hearing Shiro say that he did this because he liked Homura, Madoka's dissatisfaction subsided a little, but she still wondered why she signed that kind of contract.

"It doesn't matter. I like the way it is now. Besides, isn't it a very early age for Neon to get married? It's okay to get married a year or two earlier, right?" Bai shook his head and said nonchalantly.

"Getting...married or something? It's too early." The little girl in the ring blushed, as if she hadn't expected Bai to change the subject so quickly. And she looked as if she was the one participating.

"No, no, Mr. Bai, are you a pervert?! Xiaoyan is still so young, getting married too early will harm her health." Shaking her head, Xiaoyuan wiped away the blush on her face and looked at Bai outside the ring with a frown.

"Well, it hurts the body. By the way, Madoka, when you transform into magical girls, don't your bodies get strengthened?" Bai suddenly remembered that magical girls are different from elves. It seems that their bodies are not strengthened after the transformation, but they have more abilities.

"But it doesn't matter. I can strengthen Homura's body, and it will definitely be better than that of a normal person." Poor physical fitness is not a difficult problem for Bai to solve. At that time, Yoshino's body was much worse than Homura's, but after being nourished by spiritual power, she returned to normal in a short time, and her body was even better than that of an ordinary person.

Shiro could now strengthen a person's body much faster than before, especially a normal person's. Even for someone like Homura, strengthening to spirit level wouldn't take more than a day, and that was even considering the body couldn't handle the huge amount of energy in a short period of time, so the speed was slowed down. If the damage to the body wasn't taken into account, Shiro could instantly strengthen a normal person's body to a level that was completely indestructible to modern weapons.

"And Xiaoyuan, how do you know that marriage is harmful to the body? Do you Japanese kids get exposed to these things so early?" Bai asked in surprise, then stared at Xiaoyuan who had just spoken in the ring.

Bai, who had been alone for many years, learned about these things relatively late. The director of the orphanage only told them about the differences between men and women. Moreover, Bai, who was alone and busy, had no time to think about these things. He only learned about them when he heard others talk about them when he was about to graduate from high school.

"That..." Xiaoyuan lowered her head shyly. For the studious Xiaoyuan, she had read about these things in some books and then asked her mother. Xiaoyuan's mother was also quite open-minded. When she heard about Xiaoyuan's experience in this area, she explained it to her in detail, which allowed Xiaoyuan to understand it so clearly.

But Madoka didn't know how to say these things, or rather, she didn't know how to tell Shiro. She was curious about these things, so she asked about them, but it felt so embarrassing!

"Haha, if you don't want to say it, just forget it." Seeing Xiaoyuan's shy look, Bai smiled lightly and didn't continue asking.

Taking out the gem that Anzi had replaced from the space and placing it next to her, Bai said softly, "Xiao Yuan, you don't think I have a lot of time, do you?"

Huh? Hearing Bai's words, Xiaoyuan looked at Bai in confusion, not understanding what this sentence meant.

"I've told you before that I didn't come to this world for fun, but for a purpose. So if it can be completed as quickly as possible, I will do it faster. As for your wishes, do you think they are important to me?"

"I can easily do things that you can't even understand, such as going back in time, resurrecting life, opening up space, and even opening up the world, but this is far from enough." Bai took out the Seed of Sorrow dropped by the mermaid witch who was replaced at that time and placed it next to Sayaka while explaining to Xiaoyuan.

"This world is vast, beyond imagination. I once wandered outside of the world and glimpsed countless worlds in the void. But I didn't approach them, because I didn't know if there would be any existence that I couldn't defeat."

"So, ever since I was able to travel through worlds, I've had a sense of crisis. What if a creature like me, capable of freely traveling through worlds, suddenly appeared in my original world, and I couldn't defeat them? What would I do? This is why I yearn for strength."

"My goal in coming to this world is almost accomplished. Now I'm only one step away. So, Xiaoyuan, what reason do you think I have to stay here?" He waved his hand, and a wonderful music came out. Soon the two normal people on the ground would wake up, and Bai also temporarily stopped what he was doing.

"Well, Homura..." Madoka was silent for a moment. Shiro had actually already told her what she was doing in this world, but she hadn't expected it to be done so quickly. And judging by Shiro's attitude towards Homura, he would definitely take her away whether she wanted to or not.

Not to mention the contract she signed. Xiao Yuan felt a little sad for a moment. From the time she had been following Bai, she knew that Bai was a very good person. As long as she didn't disturb him from doing something, Bai would treat her very well.

It was just that taking Homura away by force, even though she knew that Shiro might not do anything to Homura, and Homura's life would probably be better than it was now, but this feeling made Madoka very uncomfortable.

However, it seemed like there was nothing he could do, since Homura had signed that contract, everything was in vain.

That's right! That contract! Madoka's eyes suddenly brightened, as if she had come up with a solution, but then dimmed again, a look of contemplation in her eyes, as if she were trying to make a decision.

After a moment, Madoka raised her head and looked at Shiro with a determined look.

"Um, Mr. Bai..."

Chapter 8: Innocent children are really rare.

"Well, Mr. Bai, can we also sign a contract?" Xiao Yuan looked at Bai firmly, having made a choice in her heart, but she did not realize that

From an invisible perspective, the corners of Bai's mouth were already curled up.

"Oh, Xiaoyuan also wants to sign a contract? Well, let's tell you what it is first. After all, I don't sign any contract." Bai nodded slightly, looking not very interested.

"Although Mr. Bai may not be interested in me, I still want to get Homura back, at least... at least don't let Homura be forced to follow you away. So can we sign a contract and let me replace Homura?" Xiaoyuan's eyes were firm, and she made this decision after thinking it over again and again.

In Madoka's opinion, although Shiro has been saving her and restricting her in every way, this is only to prevent her from contacting Homura and disrupting his plan. His concern for Homura is far greater than hers.

And the reason why he was reborn was because of Homura, so if he could use himself to buy Homura's freedom, that would be enough.

"Oh, are you sure?" Hearing Xiaoyuan's words, Bai's face became serious and he asked Xiaoyuan again, "Xiaoyuan, you should know my purpose and understand your own value. Are you sure you want to make such an unequal exchange?"

"I'm sure!" There was no more hesitation in Xiaoyuan's eyes.

"If that's the case..." Shiro murmured softly. A piece of parchment, identical to the one Homura had signed, appeared before him. Words appeared on it automatically. And the original Madoka emerged from the ring.

"Regardless of time and space, in any world, everything that exists under the name Madoka Kaname belongs to Shiro. He must resist in any form in exchange for Homura Akemi's freedom. From now on, Homura Akemi is no longer bound by the contract between her and Shiro. Thousands of worlds bear witness to this."

The font was finished appearing, and the parchment floated gently in front of Xiaoyuan.

"No, check if there is anything wrong. As long as she signs it, the contract signed by Xiaoyan and I will be equivalent to a piece of waste paper." Bai's eyes were careless as he glanced at the three people lying next to him and let Xiaoyuan check the contract.

"Mr. Bai, is this really the only way?" After checking again and again, Xiaoyuan pursed her lips and looked at Bai, as if she wanted to try again.

Hearing this, Bai turned his gaze back to look at Xiao Yuan with some dissatisfaction, "Xiao Yuan, if you were my equal, I could even tear up that contract directly, but you have to understand that you are begging me now."

"Okay then." Xiaoyuan lowered her head weakly, looked at the contract in front of her, and said softly, "I agree."

Then the three words "Kaneme Madoka" appeared on the contract, and Bai could clearly feel that something had changed.

The parchment disappeared from his sight, and seeing Xiaoyuan's depressed look, Bai couldn't help laughing anymore.

"Hahahaha, Madoka, you really are naive."

"Mr. Bai, are you making fun of me?" Xiaoyuan raised her head, puffed up her cheeks, and looked at Bai with some dissatisfaction.

Now that the contract has been signed and she has become useless, there is no need to pay too much attention to politeness. Now Xiaoyuan just wants to vent her dissatisfaction just now.

"How could that be? I was praising you." He paused his unbridled smile for a moment, his brows full of smiles.

"And you can just call me Shiro, after all, we're so close now. I'm really not making fun of you, after all, good kids like Madoka are so rare these days."

"Why do I feel like you're still laughing at me?" Xiaoyuan nodded dejectedly, but didn't hear any compliment in Bai's words.

"Well, you'll understand it later. Now, you should pay attention to other things." Bai turned his eyes to the two people who were already trembling next to him and changed the subject without leaving a trace.

After all, if I continued, I might not be able to help myself but I thought, relying on information asymmetry to deceive children is really a bit pathetic.

The contract was full of loopholes, and Madoka, who had misjudged her own value, sold herself out so easily. This made Bai suddenly feel a little guilty, but when he thought about what might happen in the future, he immediately put this feeling behind him.

Following Shiro's gaze, Madoka also noticed the two people who seemed to be waking up, "Don't you want me to step aside?"

"It's okay, as long as you don't appear in front of Homura too often. You can handle other situations as you like." Shiro shook his head, indicating that Madoka no longer needed to be the same as before.

Before, because the contract had not been signed, Bai had no way to control the cause and effect of Xiaoyuan. After signing the contract, everything about Xiaoyuan belonged to Bai, naturally including Xiaoyuan's cause and effect.

However, Shiro would not block everything, and would continue to let the karma flow through Homura until enough accumulated karma allowed Madoka to become a god. As for the karma with other people, there was no need to block it, and it could continue as it pleased.

Just as Bai finished speaking, the two people on the ground opened their eyes and looked around in confusion.

Looking around, the two also noticed the figures of Madoka and Shiro.

"Madoka, and... who is this?" Anzi looked over with confusion, a little overwhelmed by the current situation.

"My Soul Gem wasn't..." Kyoko pressed her arm towards the grass beside her, feeling something special, and picked up something.

"This is my soul gem, why..."

"Anzi, it's okay. When senior Mami was about to hit your Soul Gem, it was replaced by Shiro. And you probably fainted because you were far away." Seeing Anzi constantly asking questions, Madoka had to slowly answer her.

"Replaced? Wait! Mami!" Anzi recalled the situation with some confusion, but she didn't notice anything. Then she suddenly remembered something, reached out and grabbed Mami's collar, her eyes were lifeless, and stabbed at her with an angry look.

"Why did you shoot me then? Did you want to kill me?!"

The angry voice reached Mami's ears, and she saw tears streaming down her cheeks.

"It's useless. Magical girls will all become witches. If we want to get rid of witches, we just need to get rid of ourselves, right? And the witches we got rid of before, they... they are all the same as us!"

At this moment, Mami's voice was extremely sad, and despair spread in her eyes. Seeing Mami like this, Anzi also loosened her grip on her collar and let her lie on the grass again.

"Damn it!" As if agreeing with Mami's words, Anzi angrily hammered the grass beside her, but she was helpless about the situation.

"Be quiet for a moment and don't disturb me." Bai on the side didn't care about the situation of the two, but picked up the Seed of Sorrow and placed it on Sayaka's body, his expression slightly serious.

"Hey, you are..." Xingzi was a little dissatisfied when she heard Bai's words. They were already feeling uncomfortable, and Bai spoke in this tone, which made Xingzi doubt what he meant.

"Shh, Xingzi, just be quiet for a moment. I will explain to you later." Seeing that Xingzi wanted to say something, Xiaoyuan quickly covered Xingzi's mouth with her hand. Out of trust in Xiaoyuan, Xingzi also calmed down temporarily, and then the two of them looked at Bai together.

Chapter 9: Sayaka-san is back online

What exactly is the human soul made of? Matter, energy, or consciousness? Bai didn't know, and so he came to this world.

Magical girls are given special abilities by the Hatchers, who use a special method to make their souls affected by emotions and generate so-called magic. However, the souls of those girls who are given abilities are also collected by a special method and stored in an object called a soul gem.

Because the incubator uses special methods, the magical girl's soul gem will gradually become polluted during the battle. Only the seeds of sorrow dropped after defeating the witch can cleanse the pollution and allow the magical girl to see whether her soul can continue to fight. So this can be regarded as a good storage method.

However, this also brought a fatal flaw: if the Soul Gem shattered, the soul within it would instantly vanish, leading to the extinction of consciousness. Unless a creature truly reached a state where it could be resurrected in any event as long as someone still remembered its name, any living being would fiercely protect its soul.

Perhaps because they are not aware of the situation, magical girls generally do not care much about protecting their soul gems, and therefore may lose their lives due to various accidents.

The Seed of Sorrow was dropped after defeating the Witch, and it could purify the negative effects of the Soul Gem. Therefore, in Bai's opinion, it must also have some connection with the soul.

Is it possible to reverse the situation of the Seed of Sorrow and restore the soul in it to its state before it transformed into a witch? It is not a reconstruction, but a simple restoration, and the difficulty will be reduced accordingly.

So just as Sayaka's body was not attacked at that time, Bai collected it. The Seed of Sorrow dropped by the Mermaid Witch, the incarnation of Sayaka's soul, after being defeated was also replaced by Bai in his own hands.

Looking quietly at the Seed of Sorrow placed on Sayaka's body, Bai's consciousness penetrated into it and began to search. The space inside was not large, so it didn't take Bai long to find a special thing.

A group of pure white things gathered together, emitting a faint halo, which seemed to contain emotions representing the good side of human beings, such as happiness, joy, satisfaction, affinity, etc., all of which speak of the beauty of human beings.

Wrapped in these beauties is a faint consciousness, which trembles slightly, as if it is immersed in it and unwilling to leave.

Once this positive emotion comes into contact with the contaminated soul gem, it will be offset by the negative emotions in it, thereby achieving the purpose of purification. The consciousness in it will also become clear in the offset, and then completely disappear with fear and despair.

However, the consciousness here obviously has no chance to experience this feeling.

Now that he knew she still had consciousness, Bai didn't waste any more time. The force of time swept through the seed of sorrow on the girl's body, and her consciousness gradually grew stronger, or rather, returned to its previous state.

But in a moment, the Seed of Sorrow could no longer contain the growing consciousness, and a form that could not be observed by ordinary people floated out of it, as if it wanted to go somewhere else, but was stopped by Bai Ge.

The shape gradually becomes more complete and the appearance becomes clearer.

If Sakura Anko and the others could see it, they would surely recognize the shape at a glance, but unfortunately they couldn't, so Bai couldn't see their surprised expressions for the time being.

The form made of consciousness in front of her finally stopped changing. Bai Ye stopped the flow of time on her, feeling that there were no more flaws. He waved his hand lightly, and the form in front of him poured directly into Sayaka's body.
