Chapter 606: Chapter 287: Major Family Event III: The Witching Night (Part 2)

October 26th, noon, Alliance Building.

“Big brother has returned… he’s really efficient; he caught the flight to Huanjing immediately after hearing Xiao Ni’s news this morning. Given his personality, he would not leave without seeing Bai Zini, so he must also be here on the day of the Witch’s Night.”

Lan Ou rode the glass curtain wall elevator downward, the cityscape falling along with his figure.

He lowered his head, weighing his thoughts.

“Now, to understand the witches’ movements… we can only rely on Shi Neian.”

“If those witches have already captured my sister, they probably wouldn’t invite Shi Neian to the meeting again—because the condition to initiate the Witch’s Night is to gather six extremely talented witches.”

“They also mentioned before that Shi Neian was just a backup; they actually want my sister after her witchification, and then they wouldn’t need Shi Neian.”

“So… I need to persuade Shi Neian to actively use the letter and enter the witches’ meeting space.”

“As for father, although I feel he doesn’t need to worry, there might be only one person in the Superhero Association who knows his whereabouts. If that person doesn’t know, then others are even less likely to know. Asking won’t take much time.”

Thinking this, Lan Ou took out a spare phone and dialed Che Zhengchen’s number.

“Doot doot—”

Lan Ou held the phone to his ear, a slightly dull sound entered his ear, followed by a warm voice from the other end.

“Lan Ou, what’s up?”

“Commander Che, I need to find Qing Ya; have you seen him in the past two days?”

Che Zhengchen replied, “Sorry, I haven’t seen him. I was actually looking for him last night, but he didn’t appear inside the association.” His answer didn’t surprise Ke Mingye—finding Qing Ya was always difficult.

“I see, hanging up now.”

After finishing, Lan Ou hung up the phone.

His gaze fell as he looked through the glass curtain wall of the elevator at the city enveloped in snow.

“Though it’s really unfair to the girl down there, she’s the only one I can rely on now,” he thought.

Ke Mingye knew clearly that if the witches had captured Ash, then to them, Sloth Witch Shi Neian had probably completely lost any remaining value. If Shi Neian uses that letter to actively enter the interior of Babel Tower and face those unscrupulous witches, chances of disaster were high.

But he would still do it.

He was also willing to admit that he indeed was an extremely selfish person.

Lan Ou took a deep sigh; the air inside the glass curtain elevator felt so stifling it seemed he would immediately suffocate.

He slightly closed his eyes, the thriving city replaced by darkness.

Meanwhile, at Yandai Elementary School.

It was still that classroom, the ghostly pumpkin lamp overhead swayed, casting down orange-yellow firelight. Whether it was the shadows cast by the light that caused it, the magic girls from overseas looked worried, and the atmosphere was somewhat tense.

All present had heard from Xizi Yue that those witches were mostly after Magical Girl Ash. But they all believed Xizi Yue could protect Ash, and nobody expected Ash to disappear so abruptly.

The noon breeze carried a chill as it swept into the classroom, Magical Girl Kokuyo Sakura silently sat on the windowsill, gazing at the falling snow outside. Her reddish-brown hair draped over her pale shoulders, reflecting the winter sunlight.

Her eyes flickered slightly as she thought, “Logically speaking, with Xizi Yue’s style, she should have left some countermeasures, but Xizi Yue has not replied yet.”

She shook her head to dispel the thoughts, and glanced at Qili asking,

“How’s it?”

“Xizi Yue’s meeting is over,” Qili lowered her hat brim, looking at her phone, “but she said she’s busy now and asked us to mind our own business, preparing for the Witch’s Night in five days.”

Hearing this, Kokuyo Sakura’s expression turned gloomy, “Is that so… so there’s still no news about Teacher Ash?”

Qili shook her head, comforting, “Don’t worry, Ash always does things her way; maybe she just found a quiet place to clear her mind.”

“Since there’s nothing for us then, can I go on a date with Red Hat now?”

You Ya spoke indifferently, sweeping her hair behind her ear, glancing sideways at Red Hat.

“Sorry, I’m not in the mood for small talk until Senior Ash returns.”

Red Hat rejected quickly, expressionless.

Beside her, both Magical Girl Hong and Magical Girl Feng looked a bit morose, worrying about Senior Ash’s whereabouts.

However, at this very moment, only Shi Neian was sprawled boredly on the desk, chin resting on her arms, lightly sighing.

She thought to herself, how long must she sit in this “prison” before she can go home and play her Global Warming game?

“Shi Neian… Shi Neian.”

Just then, Kobe’s voice sounded in her embrace.

She looked down at Kobe.

“What’s up?”

Kobe blinked at her, whispering, “Do you think Miss Ash might have been captured by the witches?”

“There’s that possibility…” Shi Neian didn’t deny it.

Kobe said, “Then let’s actively use the letter and check out the Witch Church gathering place; maybe Miss Ash is there.”

“Eh— I’d die, definitely not.”

Just as Shi Neian finished speaking, wanting to tilt her head and nap on the desk, suddenly a glowing letter appeared before her eyes. A chill ran down her spine, and her face became somewhat blank.
