Chapter 210 137 The Blue Emerald Sparrow Under the Cage_3
That was Emerald Sparrow's magic power, the magic power of a Magical Girl. Without a doubt, the moment it erupted, it would claim her own life.
"—"
But it seemed like she could hear someone calling out something.
Was it her senior?
Hong Siyu felt that if she still had a body at that moment, she would have been able to smile sincerely.
Even if she died as a Remnant Beast, at least she would die at the hands of a Magical Girl, at least in the hands of someone she liked, wouldn't that be the best outcome?
"—Hong Siyu!"
The voice became clearer and clearer, and this time, it entered Hong Siyu's ears with absolute clarity.
This allowed her, who was about to lose consciousness, to once again gain a bit of lucidity.
Why could she still hear?
She couldn't help but be puzzled by this.
Is death such a long and painful thing? Even after completely losing perception of the outside world, does one still keep having delusions and hallucinations?
It's enough already, she didn't want to live like this any longer, let it all end quickly.
She complained in self-abandonment. But then, she felt her hand being grasped.
Hands that should no longer exist were now being felt with an unmistakable sense of a firm grip.
Who is it?
She couldn't help wanting to open her eyes, but a mysterious force firmly glued her in place, still unable to move.
"—Hong Siyu!"
The voice came from afar once again, but this time, it was much closer.
And when this cry reached Hong Siyu's consciousness, that originally distant and dazzling blue light finally arrived in front of Hong Siyu.
She felt herself starting to rise.
From an endless darkness, dragged by a powerful force, ascending towards the sky that had once seemed out of reach.
"—Hong Siyu!"
She could hear the shout clearly, right by her ear.
Hong Siyu suddenly opened her eyes.
Vision, hearing, touch, taste, the senses that should have been cut off were once again distinctly feeding back to her brain, the world becoming clear and real again.
She saw familiar buildings, familiar halls, familiar moonlight.
This was the Abnormal Strategy Bureau in Fangting City that she knew, the place where she had worked unwillingly for two years, and now, it had become ruins. Crumbled walls, cracked ground, shattered glass; she was lying amidst a chaotic pile of rubble, under the pristine moonlight.
And her hand was being tightly grasped by another.
In the midst of the azure magic light, the petite girl was drenched in blood and stains from unknown sources, her diamond-bright hair tainted with dust, appearing so pitiful.
Her eyes and fingernails flickered with a blue light, the Heart's Gem on her neck also shone with a blinding blue light, and even her hair shimmered with the richness of magic power.
She looked like an angel fallen to Earth, watching Hong Siyu with an inexplicable smile.
Hong Siyu had never seen Emerald Sparrow smile like this.
"It's all right now," she said with a voice that was cold yet gentle, and for some reason, while smiling, tears glimmered at the corner of her eyes: "Because, the Magical Girl is here."
In her hand, she held a small pair of tailor's scissors.
Attached to the scissors were countless blue threads, its surface covered in intricate patterns that trembled with each breath of magic power.
No, those weren't patterns.
Hong Siyu realized this.
The things on the scissors were cracks.
Subconsciously, she raised her hand, and what she saw was not the grotesque limb of a Remnant Beast as she had imagined, but her familiar hand, just a bit pale from blood loss.
She looked to her side and saw a massive Remnant Beast shaped like a moth lying next to her, split open and gutted, but empty inside.
As if something had been scooped out from within.
She couldn't help but think this.
"Senior," she couldn't help but ask: "What did you do?"
"Just killed the Remnant Beast in an ordinary way," Emerald Sparrow gently put down the scissors in her hand, pressed down on Hong Siyu's hand and said, "Isn't that what you asked for?"
This answer stunned Hong Siyu.
She looked at Emerald Sparrow for a while, wanting to say that this was no time for jokes, but the words turned into a sob, and then she cried out:
"It was so scary! Senior! It was so dark, so uncomfortable, so frightening, I was really afraid of dying!"
"Mhm, I know."
"I didn't really want to just die like that, but I thought there was no saving me, and I just wanted to not burden you too much when I died, to let you deal with this quickly. But I didn't want to die at all!"
"Mhm, I know."
"But I also didn't want to really become a Remnant Beast, I didn't want to eat people, I didn't want to hurt anyone, and I especially didn't want to hurt the children. I felt that if it ever came to that, it would be better for you to kill me..."
Hong Siyu cried like a child, her voice loud and constant until her tears almost ran out, her voice hoarse, then she paused, gradually softened her voice, and stammered:
"Senior, I like you."
