Just a magical girl who picks up trash

"Boom~~~"

When the huge pink light dissipated, what was revealed was the southeastern desert scenic spot that had been directly blasted through, as well as the dense electronic circuits around it. Yu Huan landed lightly on the ground, and the next second he suddenly found a barely breathing figure on the edge of the big hole.

"...As expected of a bug, its vitality is truly tenacious!"

The figure was naturally Ghost Face, but at this moment, it was obvious that she was dying... After all, if she could still survive even after her head was blown off, then Yu Huan really had no way to deal with her... But fortunately, the other party was still a living being after all, and living things still had basic weaknesses. Therefore, she was already on the verge of death. Therefore, Yu Huan just said this and then continued:

"So, any last words?"

Well, this was not a provocation, but she was really asking. Of course, this was not to help the other party complete his last words or something, but to see if she could get any clues out of the other party's mouth before he died.

Facts proved that Yu Huan's idea was completely correct. Because he didn't know whether he was really going to die, Ghost Face slowly said his last words before his life was about to disappear completely:

"Not... yet... yet... I've successfully lured you... out... Xiao Qi's... true form!"

expire!

"...Well, I think I understand what you mean!"

Looking at the ghost face that had completely lost its life force, Yu Huan nodded at it, his tone equally calm:

"Don't you mean that if you lure me out, your real body can go and kill Xiaoxiao and complete the sacrifice?"

The alien insects were mimics, so there must be a real ghost face in the dark. In fact, Yu Huan had thought of this the moment the other party changed back to its original form. However, she was not worried at all. If you ask why...

"Do you think you're the only one with a backup plan?!"

After a few ups and downs, wandering through the streets and alleys, Yu Huan, guided by the system, soon returned to the gate of Qi Xiao's manor. As soon as she landed, she saw the manor in front of her, which had already changed drastically:

The originally beautiful small garden was covered with potholes everywhere. The gate made of fine steel had long been twisted into a knot. Looking through the gate, one could see that the huge villa located in the center of Zhuangyuan seemed to have collapsed.

"Wow~~ What a fierce battle!"

Of course, it's not as intense as on her side... After adding this in her mind, Yu Huan immediately took a step and walked towards them. She had a contract with Yu Yuan and Tian Ling that allowed her to contact them at any time, so she didn't need to worry about Qi Xiao's safety who was protected by this man and the fox. Therefore, she only needed to follow the connection in the contract and she would naturally be able to find them.

Thinking so and doing so, Yu Huan immediately looked at the direction indicated by the light screen in front of her and came to a room in the other half of the villa which was still intact. She stretched out her hand but before she could open the door, the door opened by itself the next second.

"Owner!"

The small figure pounced and landed directly on Yu Huan's face. The familiar voice made Yu Huan recognize the other person's identity instantly.

"Haha~ Lingling, go slower... it's very heavy!"

Suddenly, a fox lay on her face. Although its weight was nothing to Yu Huan, she just said it jokingly and then picked it up.

"I'm not heavy at all. I'm clearly just a toddler now, not even as heavy as a baby!"

Well, this is Tianling’s quibble, as she’s also a girl (a fox) and doesn’t like being criticized.

"Well, not too heavy... relatively speaking!"

"..."

What the hell is that?!

After laughing and joking for a while, Yu Huan put Tian Ling on his shoulder. Then he had time to look at the door in front of him. He saw a figure with long golden hair standing there. There was a little excitement on his face, but he suppressed it and didn't show it. He just looked at Yu Huan intently.

Looking at the opponent like this, Yu Huan paused for a moment and then smiled widely:

"Sorry, I'm a little late!"

As soon as the words fell, a petite figure rushed over and then... hugged her in his arms.

Well... although she is petite, she is at least half a head taller than Yu Huan, so it is obviously impossible for her to throw herself into Yu Huan's arms. She doesn't have the height and chest!

93. Death Begins!

(So, you can actually leave more comments. I’m a little unsure what to focus on, daily life or adventure?)

"...That's basically what happened. Right after you left, that guy came back disguised as Xiao Jing. He tried to kill me, but you... uh, your sister saved him!"

He roughly told Yu Huan what happened after she left. In fact, it was very cliché. Just after Xiao Jing left, the other "Xiao Jing" turned back to the manor. It seemed that he knew that his "coming back" was not convincing at all, or he was absolutely confident in his own strength. Therefore, "Xiao Jing" did not hide his intentions at all, and came directly for Qi Xiao's life.

And it was at this critical moment that Yu Yuan, who had been called over by Yu Huan earlier, rushed out from the dark, rescued Qi Xiao, and fought with Xiao Jing. Afterwards, the two of them fought and moved away from here. In order to prevent any ambushes later, Tian Ling stayed here to protect Qi Xiao.

It was obvious that at the beginning Qi Xiao mistook Yu Yuan, who suddenly appeared to save him, for Yu Huan. After all, there was basically no difference between the two except for their hair color. But soon after, he recognized them.

"And then you came back!"

He still held Yu Huan tightly in his arms. It was obvious that the series of changes just now were too shocking for Qi Xiao in reality. Therefore, she was already terrified to the extreme at this time, so she naturally tried her best to hold Yu Huan in her arms, just like the only straw a drowning person grasped. Yu Huan, who could clearly feel Qi Xiao's thoughts at this moment, naturally would not do anything to chill the other party at this time. Therefore, she just let the other party hold her and reached out to hug the other party back to show comfort.

"……elder sister!"

The silent atmosphere didn't last long. A moment later, accompanied by a sudden sound, Yu Yuan dragged something directly into the room. The sudden sound made Yu Huan and Qi Xiao look up at the same time. The first thing they saw was Yu Yuan, whose clothes seemed a little disheveled, and the tall girl at his feet. That was...

"Xiao Jing?!"

Suddenly seeing her best friend being stepped on by Xiao Huan, who looked very much like Xiao Huan, Qi Xiao almost screamed subconsciously, but then she seemed to realize that Xiao Jing in front of her was just a fake, so she calmed down instantly.

however……

"Hey~~ Xiao Qi, it just so happens that we meet again!"

He was clearly caught by Yu Yuan and his limbs were broken without mercy. He couldn't even stand up at this moment. However, Xiao Jing... no, it should be said that the real Ghost Face still raised his head and greeted the other party with the same familiar smile that Qi Xiao always had, as if he was not the one who was at an absolute disadvantage at this time. Such an action undoubtedly made Yu Huan and Yu Yuan frown at the same time, and also made Qi Xiao, who was originally afraid, instantly angry:

"No...don't talk to me with that look and tone of Xiao Jing!"

The other party wanted to kill the imposter, so Qi Xiao obviously couldn't be worried about the other party's current situation. However, looking at the other party's appearance and tone of voice that looked like Xiao Jing, she still couldn't help but tremble in her heart... Too similar, too similar!

If it was a different occasion or location, and if it was just the appearance of the 'Xiao Jing' in front of him, then there is no doubt that Qi Xiao would never suspect that the Xiao Jing in front of him, whom he had known since childhood, was a fake.

And in fact...

"I'm not a fake, I'm Xiao Jing... the real Xiao Jing, Xiao Xiao Qi!"

Hearing the word "fake", Xiao Jing immediately raised his eyebrows, and his words undoubtedly earned him a look of disbelief from Qi Xiao.

"Oh my~~ This is such a huge twist. You don't believe it for a moment? Yeah, I understand!"

He was not worried about his situation at all, but was just talking to himself. Ghost Face's reaction immediately gave Yu Huan a bad feeling. Her intuition told her that she couldn't continue to listen to Ghost Face talking. Just as she was about to step forward and take him away, Ghost Face suddenly changed the subject and said to Yu Huan:

"By the way, do you know why the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons has been held six times in the past three hundred years, yet no accidents have ever occurred, and every sacrifice has died on time?"

"..."

The sudden words instantly made Yu Huan pause in her original movement, and also attracted the attention of Qi Xiao beside her... After all, she was the last sacrifice of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons, and it was a matter that she couldn't help but care about. However, the next second, under the slightly evil smile of the ghost face, the other party suddenly said something that made Yu Huan's face suddenly change:

"That's because from the moment they joined this game, death..."

"Yuanyuan! Stop her!"

Yu Huan didn't say anything about stopping it. In fact, she didn't even know it herself, but she said this sentence almost subconsciously. However, just as she finished speaking, when Yu Yuan stretched out his hand, something strange happened... suddenly!

“…It’s already been decided!”

"Boom~~"

“Xiaoxiao?!”

As the last four words fell, Qi Xiao, who had been listening quietly there, suddenly fell into Yu Huan's arms without any warning. As Yu Huan shouted, the next second she saw the other's... lifeless eyes?

"Xiao... Xiaoxiao?"

The sudden change was completely beyond Yu Huan's expectations. Everything happened so suddenly that Yu Yuan almost instantly gave up the idea of ​​dealing with Guimian. Instead, he rushed to Qi Xiao without saying a word and directly stretched out his hand to press on the other's forehead.

"Testing...begin..."

A light blue light emanated from Yu Yuan's hand and enveloped Qi Xiao's body. It lasted for about a minute before she retracted it. However, at this moment, Yu Yuan's usually expressionless face was filled with an ugly look.

"..."

Looking up at Yu Huan, whose face was full of expectation, Yu Yuan did not give her any answer, but gently... shook his head!

The soul is lost, the seventh sacrifice Murong Xiaoxiao... is confirmed dead!

(I’m not dead, don’t scold me, I’m really not dead…)

94.Notice

Qi Xiao's death was so sudden that Yu Huan had no time to react. She didn't even know how she died. The only thing she knew was that her soul had been plundered, just like the six sacrifices before her.

However, this was not the key point that Yu Yuan obtained during the test. In the case of the test just now for Qi Xiao, the truly important information Yu Yuan obtained was actually another one, which was:

"Sister, Sister Qixiao's soul seems to have... long since left her body!"

"What did you say?!"

What does it mean that it’s long gone?!

"The long separation of soul and body has caused Sister Qi Xiao's body to continue to weaken. This is why she still looks like a young girl even though she's already in her twenties. It's not a physical or genetic defect, but rather her body has stopped growing since she was a teenager due to the lack of soul!"

"Boom~~~"

Yu Yuan's words exploded in Yu Huan's mind like a muffled thunder, and at this moment, it seemed that all the clues were connected together. It was at this moment that Yu Huan finally understood the true meaning of the game "One Hundred Demons Night Parade".

That’s right, just as Ghost Face said, everything has already begun, and the game of Night Parade of a Hundred Demons is not a beginning, but... an end... From the moment the sacrifices joined the game, the sacrifice... was already over!

"Every time you die in the game, your soul power is stolen. If you die too many times, your soul will be taken away by the black fog monster in the game without you even realizing it, and you will naturally become food for the 'ghost'."

"Most people don't pay attention to death when playing games. After all, with the ability to rewind and start over, no one cares about the lives of others, or even their own. The internet can even amplify the darkness within one's heart, creating the perfect environment for the 'ghosts' within."

In fact, as early as the moment Qi Xiao and others entered the game, the entire game of Night Parade of a Hundred Demons had already locked onto them. There was no need to deliberately kill people and then sacrifice them. As long as they entered the game, their souls would actually be equivalent to being sacrificed.

As for how to get them into this game... Yu Huan should have guessed the answer long ago!

"Alien insects..."

The alien insects can mimic anyone's appearance, personality, behavior and even memory, which means that these alien insects can imitate anyone they want, and this naturally includes the best friends of the girls chosen as sacrifices!

Xiaomi, Xiaoxiao's former best friend, Xiaojing, Qixiao's current good friend... Qixiao had obviously guessed wrong about one thing before she died, that is, the Xiaojing who appeared in front of her and wanted to kill her was not a fake at all, but the real one, the Xiaojing who had been with her from beginning to end and treated her like a family member... It's a pity that all this was just a scam, a scam that lasted for more than ten years!

Ghost Face used Xiao Jing's identity to lurk beside Qi Xiao for many years, secretly stealing her soul power, silently cultivating the fear in her heart and guiding her step by step to get in touch with the field of the Internet, and finally sacrificing her as a sacrifice when closing the net... Everything ended as early as the beginning, so everything was doomed to be futile, and this is the real reason why Ghost Face never had any worries from beginning to end.

"..."

Everything became clear in an instant, but the answer was so despairing and helpless. After knowing the truth, Yu Huan immediately sat on the ground, staring blankly at the lifeless body in his arms.

Qi Xiao was dead... Just like Xiao Xiao before, he died in his arms. He was still a step too late... No, I should say that the promise he made from the beginning was actually a joke, a joke... that could never be fulfilled!

She couldn't protect them at all, because they were already dead and there was no guarantee that they would be alive. Everything had been fixed since she came into contact with this point.

Just like the pure white ward in the previous life, the helpless boy who was powerless to resist fate and could only feel himself slowly dying day by day. It was as if the whole world had lost all color, everything was filled with gray, and even the emotion of despair was just a luxury in this life.

Nothingness, darkness, confusion, helplessness...

"elder sister?"

A faint black aura floated around Yu Huan at some point. It was a very ominous and unfamiliar aura. From that aura, Yu Yuan felt as if he had seen a black hole for a moment. There was nothing inside, because anything in it seemed to be swallowed up by the endless darkness.

"I'm fine..."

Calm, very calm!

A pair of pitch-black eyes were full of spirit at this moment, but seemed to have no life at all. Qi Xiao's body, with a flash of light between his hands, had been put into the system space. At the same time, as Yu Huan slowly stood up, Yu Yuan beside her had a puzzled and worried expression, but she suddenly turned her head and looked outside the manor.

"here we go!"

It's started, what's started?

That's certainly true...

"Hundred Ghosts Night Parade!"

"Boom boom boom~~~"

"Wha...what?!"

“What…what happened?!”

"What happened? An earthquake?"

"How is this possible? How could there be an earthquake in Tianta City?!"

"Where's the patrolman? Where's the patrolman?!"

"What the hell... what the hell is that?!"

A certain day in August of the XXX year of the Tianta calendar, this day is destined to be forever engraved in the hearts of all the residents of the first floor of Tianta City and those students who come to participate in the freshman festival!

A huge black shadow covered the entire sky. The originally clear sky seemed to be shrouded in a thick black curtain in an instant. From the Tianji City below, one could clearly see that the vaguely visible dotted line of the city above had now turned into a huge and dark black ball.

"Om~~~"

A pitch-black black hole suddenly appeared in the sky under the gaze of all the residents. As the rotating black hole grew larger, a voice was clearly heard throughout every corner of the first floor and in every ear:
