Chapter 611: Chapter 288: Major Family Events III: Night of the Witch (Part 3)_2

The girl’s cheeks were bathed in the fading twilight, her eyes full of sorrow.

“Don’t.” Lin Jiaqi said, “What will we do if you leave?”

Bai Zini stood with her hands behind her back, leaning against the bridge railing, gazing at the opposite scenery. The setting sun slowly descended from the horizon, the last of the twilight setting the clouds ablaze in red, like flushed liquor.

She stared at the slanting sunset, silent, her thoughts unknown.

He Yinlu said, “Just kidding.”

Lin Jiaqi said, “Even if it’s no joke, if you really jumped off the building, I would catch you with magic and you wouldn’t be able to die; if you died, I would become a witch, mastering the sorcery of resurrection to bring you back.”

He Yinlu said, “Are you cursing me?”

As she spoke, she turned to the silent Bai Zini, “Xiao Ni, aren’t you tired?”

Bai Zini snapped back to reality and shook her head.

“Not really,” she said.

He Yinlu said, “Why? You’re clearly the most hardworking one, battling those annoying criminals outside while we slack off, oh—I get it, it’s because you secretly want to protect your brother, so you don’t feel tired.”

Lin Jiaqi said, “That’s so touching, the love between siblings.”

“Absolutely not—!” Bai Zini’s face turned red, she glanced sideways at the other two.

“When will you let me meet your older brother?”

“He has a terrible personality, everyone hates him,” Bai Zini muttered.

“Okay okay.”

Bai Zini was silent for a moment, “Sometimes I do feel tired, but not when you two are around.”

“Me too,” He Yinlu grinned, “We three should stay together, be magical girls for life.”

Lin Jiaqi rolled her eyes at her, “In a few years when the comet falls, you’ll behave, then we won’t be magical girls anymore.”

He Yinlu nonchalantly said, “So what, in a few decades we can still be magical girls.”

“How so?” asked Bai Zini.

“At that time, we’ll have dementia, meet in a nursing home, and become magical old witches together.”

“Ha”

Bai Zini laughed out of frustration.

The girls leaned against the bridge railing, gently laughing under the sunset, their reflections shimmering in the puddles on the bridge. Soon, the twilight dimmed and the night, like a curtain, quietly enveloped over their heads.

Below the bridge, the stream of cars gradually brightened, from afar they looked like clusters of dazed fires, like tiny fireflies whizzing through the city.

Bai Zini looked at her phone.

“I should head back, my mom will scold me if I don’t.”

Hearing this, He Yinlu shifted her gaze from the bustling city traffic and turned to look at Bai Zini.

“Alright, be careful on your way.”

“Shall I go?”

“Wait a minute.” He Yinlu stopped her.

Bai Zini looked back.

“If you can’t hold on one day, remember to tell me, you love to keep things to yourself after all.”

“Okay, I understand.”

“Good girl.”

He Yinlu raised her hand, smiling as she ruffled her hair.

At this moment, the dream quietly shattered.

Like a tape rewinding, the sun traced a bizarre trajectory as it rose from below the horizon, hanging back into the dusk-filled sky. The figures of the two girls moved backward, returning to the entrance of the bridge stairs, and then continued downward.

In the end, Bai Zini could no longer see their faces.

Only to stand alone under the sunset, her face blank, the twilight searing every inch of her skin.

“…Where have you all gone?”

She murmured in panic, unable to hear her own voice.

…

…

On the cross of the altar, the girl in the Gothic dress slowly opened her eyes, her vision blurry.

The first thing she saw was a face with a lazy demeanor, the corner of the eyes marked with an upward stroke of ink—Ash remembered this face, Xiaohongmao, Feng, and Rainbow had been attacked by this magical girl not long ago.

Moments later, as her hearing returned, intermittent voices reached her ears.

Someone said, “Sloth Witch, you stay here for five days, making sure she doesn’t harm herself.”

“How can she harm herself when she’s all tied up?” asked the person called Sloth Witch.

Another person thought for a moment and said, “By biting her tongue?”

Hearing this, Sloth Witch Sloth Witch gloomily said, “Oh, then I’ll just pull her tongue out, then she can’t bite it to kill herself.”

Another shadow, silent, looked down imposingly at the Sloth Witch with an expressionless face.

“You can try, but I warn you, the Doll Witch said that Ash is very important, touch her carelessly, and you’ll be turned into a doll.”

Sloth Witch clicked her tongue and obediently sat down on the stone steps of the altar, heaving a sigh.

“Got it, I don’t want to die, it was just a joke.”

“Then I’m leaving.”

Following the sound of the voice, the girl on the cross slightly turned her face, lifting her gaze from beneath her messy hair, looking towards the departing figure.

Her eyebrows furrowed slightly, her eyes somewhat hollow, unable to clearly see the figure’s face.

But a moment later, her vision gradually cleared.

Subsequently, a cold and stern face appeared in her pupils. As if she hadn’t awakened from a dream, the profile in front of her slowly overlapped with the face of He Yinlu from her memory.

Witch Black Rose turned to leave, but suddenly halted her steps.

After a long silence, she slowly turned her head, her gaze sharply looking towards Ash who was bound on the altar, “Oh, so she’s already awake.”

Hearing this, Sloth Witch Shi Neian glanced at Ash, then pursed her lips, thinking her senior could really_sleep, and too lazy to look up at the awakened Ash, cradled her face towards the floor sighing, thinking now we are sympathizers.
