Just a magical girl who picks up trash

"Who are you?"

The strange voice suddenly came into her mind, making her expression instantly become more confused. However, compared with her previous look of not knowing what to do, the confusion at this time was simpler: who is talking?

Well, although she didn't speak, her expression probably conveyed this meaning. However, the voice in the dark didn't seem to have any intention of responding. After being silent or observing her for a while, it seemed as if it had discovered something. A hint of joy appeared in its originally cold tone:

"Your aura... is very familiar... Yes, it's her... It's her aura!"

There seemed to be some excited words, followed by some incoherent mumbling. However, with her ability to understand, she obviously couldn't understand what the other person was saying, so she could only stare quietly at the void in front of her, still at a loss!

It was unknown how much time had passed before the voice finally calmed down, as if it had only just noticed her condition. After another long silence, the voice suddenly asked a strange question:

"What are you?"

If the previous question was asking who she was, then the current question was asking what she was. At first glance, this question seems a bit repetitive, but in fact it contains completely different meanings.

"..."

In response to the other party's doubt, all she could give was a blank look and a gaze without any reaction. Although she herself might not know what she was looking at, she told the other party with her eyes at this moment.

Newborn babies...can't speak, dear!

126. Attribution

"Memory... No, you are a new soul?"

The doubtful voice seemed to finally realize something was wrong after her long silence, and asked tentatively after a while. Of course, it was still met with silence, but it was enough to tell the other party the reason.

"I see. Weren't you... sent by her?"

After confirming that the other party was a new soul, it seemed to have also confirmed that its hopes were dashed, and a tone of disappointment came out of its mouth. She could only look at it in confusion and bewilderment, completely unaware of what was going on.

"Well, even so, you're still 'her'. In that case... come in!"

It was unclear when the voice in the void was talking to itself or to her. Just as the words fell, a light blue light suddenly lit up in front of her, and then slowly turned into a door formed by light.

"You... come in!"

The tone of voice made her sure that he was talking to her, and after hesitating for a moment, she still took a step forward and walked in.

Books... There are books everywhere, densely packed on every bookshelf around that is over a hundred meters high. At first glance, it would not be an exaggeration to say that there are tens of millions of books.

When the door of light disappeared from behind her, this was the world that appeared before her. Just as her eyes turned to the books, the voice rang out again:

"I'll lend you a bit of my soul energy. As a reward, you can study freely here!"

There was no coercion in the calm voice, but rather a hint of inquiry rang in her ears. She didn't know what soul energy was, but she could feel the kindness emanating from the other party. A bright light flashed in her eyes as she looked at the books around her.

She has wisdom, common sense, and complete consciousness. If there is only one thing missing, it is probably the understanding of the world and the lack of knowledge.

And now, the "book" as a manifestation of knowledge is placed in front of me. Under such a scene, my still shallow consciousness is undoubtedly telling me clearly at this moment: This... will be the place of my transformation!

"..."

She couldn't speak and could only nod slightly. The moment she nodded, there seemed to be a faint sound of relief in the air. The next second, she saw that where the light gate was originally behind her, a thin silver thread had emerged from the ground at some point.

"Gululu~~"

The silvery-white thread looks like an ordinary thread, but if you look closely, you will find that it is actually composed of liquid that seems to be standing upright. Even though it appears to be in the shape of a 'line', it is still slowly wriggling.

"Om~~~"

The next second, when her eyes were fixed on the line, a ray of azure light suddenly flew out from between her eyebrows, and then instantly disappeared into the silver light... No, it should be said that it was directly swallowed by the silver light.

"I see!"

After swallowing up the traces of soul energy, it seemed as if it understood something from it. The calm voice was heard again in the void. Then, after thinking for a while, the voice sounded again:

"You can study here with peace of mind. After you finish your studies, you can choose your future path at will, but... never mind. You will know!"

The riddle-like words made her look confused again, but the voice just sank into silence as if there was no intention to communicate anymore.

"..."

It seemed as if at this moment only she and the countless books around her were left in the silent room. After waiting for a long time without hearing the other party speak, and confirming that the other party had left, her eyes immediately fell on the books around her.

Things were simple after that. Although she didn't know why the other party wanted her to stay here, she naturally didn't need to worry about it given the knowledge she could learn. So she started her study life.

Since that day, the voice seemed to have never appeared again. It seemed as if she was the only one left in the huge library. With nothing else to do, she could only repeat the three things of reading, sleeping and eating day after day, year after year.

It is worth mentioning that although the voice never appeared again, every time she rested, some food would always appear at the right time for her to enjoy, as if it had been prepared in advance and she never went hungry.

And time... more than ten years passed in the blink of an eye.

Staying in a dark library for more than ten years, if it were a normal person, he would have become impatient or even gone crazy, right?

But these are just dispensable things to her. After all, although she has "common sense", she does not know what loneliness is, nor what "freedom" is. She is just exploring the knowledge in books with desire. If there is any other idea or other emotion besides this, then there is undoubtedly only one: wait!

wait for what?

she does not know!

Why wait?

She doesn't know either!

The only thing he knew was that he was waiting for a certain existence, that existence... that had existed in his mind since he became conscious, a being that seemed to be his 'creator', his 'master', or perhaps even his 'family'...

After the initial confusion, she realized that her existence was for the other person, and the purpose of her existence was to wait for the other person's return. However, she had no clue who that person was from beginning to end.

She likes dreaming... very, very much. It can be said that she likes to immerse herself in dreams even more than reading. As for why this is the case, to be honest, she doesn't know. Maybe it's because in the dream, she... is not herself?

Whenever she gradually became sleepy in the world of books and fell asleep, she would find herself as if she had become another person: a girl who seemed to be blind but possessed great power.

Of course, despite possessing great power, 'she' did not seem to do anything with this power, but simply stayed by her 'sister's' side.

This is more like someone else's 'memory' than a dream. I don't know when it started... probably from the first time I fell asleep, but it has been existing in my dreams all the time, and it will quietly emerge every time I fall asleep.

At first, she might not have a clear idea of ​​what these things were.

However, as she read more and more books and understood more about the world, she finally understood at a certain moment, one day:

is her!

Yes, that's her!

She is the existence that he has been waiting for, she is the existence to which he will dedicate everything, she is the existence that created him, she is... his master!

The idea in her mind gradually solidified. Not only did she not resist it at all, but her heart was even full of anticipation and yearning for finding her future 'goal'.

With this yearning in mind, after finally spending more than ten years reading all the books in the library, she said goodbye to the basement where she had lived for more than ten years and made a decision immediately:

Go back, go back to where you were born!

Although I don't know where 'she' is, there seems to be a voice telling me what to do next and what choices I should make in order to see 'her'.

Of course, this is not now, but in...

'In the near future!'

With this idea in mind, she left the Witch Tower, left the Demon Realm and returned to the big forest. However, she was discovered by the orcs by chance, and they mistook her for an orc who had escaped from the human realm and sent her back to her own tribe.

What tribe? Of course it's the Fox Tribe!

After that, it seemed that her identity was found out: she was the little daughter of the Fox King of the Fox Clan who disappeared for some reason during the assassination of the prophet: Fox Butterfly.

In this way, she became the 'little princess' of the fox clan without knowing why. However, she was the only one who knew clearly that she was not the 'fox butterfly' little princess, but someone else. She might not even be a member of the fox clan, not 'her', but... 'it'!

In view of this, even though it was mistakenly recognized, it still insisted on changing its name, which is: Hu Churou!

In response to this, the fox tribe at that time believed that Ta was a stranger to the tribe because he left home at a young age and was unaware of the situation. Even after changing his name, no one doubted his identity. This lasted for more than ten years... until one day, his 'ability' was discovered!

As always, it uses magic to search for 'her' existence. There is always a fog in the future that it cannot see clearly, but it knows that in that fog there is a high possibility of her past.

However, no matter how hard she tried, all she got in the end was pure white light in the fog. She... was not qualified to peek into the world over there!

Since she couldn't spy, she would just wait quietly. While waiting, her ability of "prophecy" was discovered, and she went from being a little princess of the fox clan to one of the candidates for the prophet: the saint!

Her extraordinary talent, powerful strength, holy and pure appearance, and fairy-like temperament despite being an immortal human made her undoubtedly crush all other candidates almost as soon as she became a saint. She was even directly accepted as the prophet's closed disciple.

However, she did not care about all this. She just calmly and passively endured it all. However, she was constantly immersed in the memories that did not belong to her in her mind, trying to find the existence of someone in it.

127. Ranger: ...

To outsiders, this seems like a very strange thing, but to her it is indeed natural.

I am "it", an "it" that belongs to someone naturally. This is not a statement that belittles myself, but comes from my heart, the most sincere thought in my soul, and also the greatest desire.

However, this desire has lost its target... No, it should be said that the target has not yet appeared, and it can only drift and wait in this big forest. From an existence with nothing, it waited to become an apprentice in the Mage Tower, and then grew into the little princess of the fox clan, a candidate for the saint, and then the chief of the Hu clan.

Finally... expelled!

Yes, she was expelled from the fox clan and kicked out of the position of clan leader. Not only was she stripped of her status as a candidate for the saint. Of course, the latter was not such a bad thing because there was some hidden story behind it.

The reason for being expelled is very simple, because the real little fox princess: Fox Butterfly... is back!

Yes, the real little princess of the fox clan, Hu Die, who was lost in the assassination of the prophet that year and has not been found yet, and who was mistakenly identified by Hu Churou, has returned.

After her return, Hu Churou's position suddenly became awkward. Of course, Hu Churou could also say that she had already said that she was not a fox butterfly, but for the angry fox clan at that time... was this important?

That’s right, no one will take the initiative to take the blame on themselves. If there is a mistake, it means that someone else is wrong, and Hu Churou is undoubtedly the one who made the mistake!

Her identity as the fake fox clan leader was "exposed", and she instantly became the target of public criticism. It was natural that she could no longer be the fox clan leader. According to the fox clan's proposition, she should be killed directly.

Fortunately, Hu Churou was still a candidate for the Saint at that time, so she was able to save her life in the end after the prophet spoke up. After she was taken away by the prophet, no one saw her again.

Some say that the prophet imprisoned her in a secret realm as punishment, some say that she was secretly trained by the prophet, and some say that because of her own prophetic ability, she is likely to become the next prophet.

After all, when her identity has not yet been exposed, you should know that among all the candidates for the Saint, Hu Churou's qualities are undoubtedly the best.

There are all kinds of speculations. Of course, the fact that Hu Churou is sitting here at this moment is enough to prove what the other party's situation is. Perhaps to outsiders, the fact that Hu Churou's name is no longer among the "Saints" means that the other party has been removed from the prophet's list. This is an unexpected but seemingly natural result.

However, only Hu Churou knew that everything she had done was not about becoming a prophet, nor was it about competing with Hudie for the position of the leader of the fox clan. From the beginning to the end, from birth to now, her goal, her will, and her idea were only one.

That is……

"Found you, my Lord!"

There wasn't much emotion in the calm voice, but one could tell there was an appraisal in it. After Hu Churou finished speaking, both Xia Yu and Sang fell silent in the tent. They both looked at Yu Huan, who also stared at Hu Churou for a long time... before suddenly smiling.

"It seems that during the thousand years that I was away, something very interesting happened!"

Indeed, the most interesting "accident" was happening right before his eyes. However, Yu Huan was obviously not disgusted by this incident, so...

"Okay, you'll follow me from now on. Do you want to sign the Ranger Contract?"

Looking at the girl in front of him with a smile, he didn't even need to take out the contract. Just by asking verbally, Yu Huan actually knew which knight the other party would be compatible with... Well, okay, maybe he knew which of the two types of knights it would be.

"Everything I have is yours, no matter what the contract is, as long as it is your wish..."

There was no trace of dissatisfaction or resistance in the calm voice. After a slight nod, the next second the bright light slowly shone all over Hu Churou's body. Finally, as the light slowly gathered, a rectangular, card-like ticket was formed on her chest!

"Oh, that's it... It's related to time, and with the Divine Envoy being able to 'possess' something, it's not surprising to call it a singularity!"

He smiled at Hu Churou, who had not signed the Ranger Contract but had already begun to gather her own belt and transformation props. At the same time, the Book of Demons in Yu Huan's hand had opened by itself, and the image of a knight who was originally supported by Yu's "Alien Demon God" power suddenly appeared clearly on the seal.

There are five kinds of strange demons in total: red, blue, gold, purple and white, divided into five different places. On each of them is a small monster-like head carved like a cartoon graffiti. Just from the funny graffiti, it seems that you can see the unreliable expression contained in it. When Yu Huan saw the graffiti, there was no doubt that his eyes instantly became weird.

This is because this knight is none other than one of the legendary knights who can ride the time train to travel between time and space, destroy the alien demons and protect the timeline: Electric King!

Commonly known as: The Four Idiots on the Tram... Well, as to why there are five?

As we all know, there are actually five so-called four idiots!

He raised his head, silently gazing at the figure before him. While his expression couldn't be described as expressionless, he looked like a beautiful, elegant girl sitting there motionless, none of the legendary fox charm and innocence. Suddenly, his mind conjured up images of the possible reactions the figure might experience after being 'possessed'...

"Pfft~~~"

Well, this sudden performance directly earned three suspicious glances, but Yu Huan obviously didn't care about them at the moment. Instead, he looked at Hu Churou in front of him impatiently and asked:

"How is it? How do you feel?"

The so-called feeling naturally refers to the other party's contract, and Hu Churou did not hide anything about this. She immediately closed her eyes and felt it for a while before speaking honestly:

"I have obtained the magical power bestowed by my Lord, but it seems that it has not been fully released yet due to the degree of compatibility!"

As she said this, the girl waved the ticket in her hand lightly in front of her, and the next second a curtain of light appeared in front of everyone.

Don't get me wrong, this is not a system light curtain, but another kind of thing that looks like a real-time image. In the image, everyone can clearly see that it is a vast desert.

It is not a desert in a ruined area, but another kind: above the sea of ​​sand composed of pure white fine sand, the dazzling seven-color aurora spreads down from the sky, as if to connect the ground together, looking full of dreamy colors.

And in that desert that seemed to be endless except for mountains and sand, what was clearly visible was the station formed by the crisscrossing railways standing there in the center of the light curtain.

“Woooooooo~~~”
