A mob of clones

Chapter 743 Baijiang Zhu: Now that the mission is completed, it’s time for me to leave

"Boom~"

With a sharp explosion, the witch, who looked like she was drawn with pencils, exploded in an instant.

The stage surrounding him disappeared in an instant, and Mo Yuanwuhe only felt a flash before his eyes, and a slightly embarrassed figure appeared in front of him.

Mo Yuanwuhe stared at the figure in front of him in a daze for a moment, then smiled helplessly.

Because isn’t that embarrassed figure in front of him himself?

"It's really hard to even recognize yourself after a big battle."

Thinking back to the whole experience after being pulled into the barrier by the witch, Mo Yuanwuhe couldn't help but press his temples.

However, he could only press the left half because he could not use the shoulder of his dominant right hand.

After a while, when his nerves relaxed, Mo Yuanwuhe opened his eyes again. He saw the outline of the entire toilet in the mirror.

Mo Yuanwuhe was the only one in the toilet.

The magical girl who had saved Moyuan Wuhe before had long disappeared.

It is likely that he left after taking the Seed of Sorrow.

As for myself...

Mo Yuanwuhe reached out and gently touched the wound on his shoulder, and couldn't help but grit his teeth.

Looking through the mirror at the injury on his shoulder and the blood on his clothes, Mo Yuan Wuhe couldn't help but sigh slightly.

"Sweaty hair and wet clothes are fine."

"What should we do with this pierced shoulder and the bloody one?"

"Are you going to tell others that you encountered a terrorist attack in the toilet?"

Just when Mo Yuanwuhe was complaining helplessly to dilute the pain in his shoulder, a voice sounded silently beside him.

"I want to heal my wounds, relieve my pain, and repair my damaged clothes. Isn't that simple?"

"Sign a contract with me. After you become a magician, you can use magic power to directly repair the injury on your shoulder."

Mo Yuanwuhe did not turn his head when he heard this. He just took off his coat and cleaned the blood stains on it with water.

There is hand sanitizer next to the sink. Although it can't clean the skin thoroughly, it will not make the bright red bruises so obvious.

While washing his coat, Mo Yuan Wuhe also unzipped the lining and observed the wound on his shoulder.

This is a long penetrating wound with some charred marks on it.

Before Moyuan Wuhe was in the witch's barrier, he had not seen clearly what kind of attack the green-faced witch launched after she pointed her finger at him.

But looking at the structure of his wound, he was afraid that it was a similar attack method to that of a laser.

After making sure that the wound on his shoulder would not continue to bleed, Mo Yuanwuhe put his coat back on, tidied his hair, and prepared to walk out of the bathroom.

However, as soon as he turned around, he saw that the lingering Kyubey had run from his right side to his left side at some point, blocked the door, and looked at him with his head tilted.

Although he was injured at the moment, Mo Yuan Wuhe was in a good mood because he had won a game. He was too lazy to bother with the thing in front of him that could not be killed at all. He stretched out his hand and wanted to jump over it and walk out of the toilet directly.

But at this moment, Kyubey's words made him hold his hand.

"Do you know about the existence of the Train Witch? The Great Prophet?"

Moyuan Wuhe withdrew his hand, frowned slightly, and looked at Kyubey in front of him.

"What did you want to say?"

In response, Kyubey began to narrate:

"The Witch of the Train, originally named Melissa."

"Born on July 17, fourteen years ago."

“My favorite book is The Wizard of Oz.”

Hearing Qiubi's words, Moyuan Wuhe frowned.

My mind couldn't help but recall everything I had seen in the witch's barrier before.

So if we compare it to what Bikubi is saying now, the Thomas the Tank Engine with a human face should correspond to the Witch of Trains' train.

Those strange-looking familiars, green-faced witch, scarecrow, lion and iron man in it should correspond to the story in The Wizard of Oz.

Mo Yuan Wuhe knew that the birth of every witch was an unspeakable tragic story.

There must be a meaning behind the witch transforming into the little girl Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz.

Just like Sayaka Miki, who fell into the trap of becoming a mermaid witch in the original work, transformed into the mermaid princess in The Little Mermaid within the witch's barrier.

Because she saved the prince (Kamijo Kyousuke), but her love was taken away by someone else (Shizuku Hitomi).

No matter how hard she tried, her prince wouldn't even look at him.

Finally, the beautiful mermaid princess turned into foam and disappeared into the sea.

The story of The Wizard of Oz presented within the witch's barrier on this train must have a deeper meaning.

but……

"But what does this have to do with me? Why are you telling me this?"

Mo Yuan Wuhe stared at Kyubey in front of him, with a hint of sarcasm in his voice. The pain in his body made him completely lack the patience to argue with Kyubey, and the words he said at this moment were extremely unpleasant.

"You don't think I'm one of those little girls with overflowing sympathy."

The next moment, his voice turned cold.

"Step aside!"

"I don't want to bother with you about what happened before."

"You should know that I don't want to talk to you now!"

Seeing this, Kyubey stopped talking.

Mo Yuanwuhe then opened the door of the toilet and walked out.

Mo Yuanwuhe stayed in the toilet for quite some time.

But no one on the tram seemed to notice this.

Everyone was minding their own business, only one or two people saw Mo Yuan Wuhe come out, stand up from his seat and walk towards the toilet, obviously going to the toilet as well.

Mo Yuanwuhe made way for them and slowly walked to his original seat.

But when he just arrived here, he couldn't help but be stunned.

He carefully checked the ticket on his phone, compared it with the seat in front of him to make sure he was not in the wrong place, and then looked at the seat next to his own with a puzzled look on his face, where a twenty-year-old brother should have been sitting.

At this time, the big brother who had been playing with his mobile phone with his head down had changed his appearance and turned into a little girl with long silver hair, wearing a pink long skirt and two pigtails on the back.

But the next moment Mo Yuanwuhe reacted.

No, that's not right!

It’s not that guy who has changed, it should be that he has changed into a different person!

When Moyuan Wuhe saw the girl in front of him, he couldn't help but think of the magical girl who fell from the sky in the witch's barrier and saved him from danger.

Although the magical girl at that time had a strange mask on her face, her clothes would also change when she transformed into a magical girl.

But there is no problem in judging the identity simply by hairstyle and body shape.

So Mo Yuanwuhe was stunned for a moment, and then walked forward hesitantly.

"Who are you? The magical girl from before?"

However, just as he was about to say this, Mo Yuanwuhe felt that something seemed to be wrong.

He looked carefully at the girl in front of him, and felt that she looked more and more familiar.

The image of a little white-haired girl who had been sent to the hospital by me emerged involuntarily in my mind.

In an instant, a slightly absurd idea came into his mind.

"Are these two the same person?"

As soon as he thought about it, a brainstorming session instantly started in Mo Yuanwuhe's brain.

He made a crazy comparison between the white-haired girl in his impression and the girl in front of him who had fair and delicate skin, a bright smile on her face, and seemed to be glowing in the sun.

It’s hard to say whether there are any similarities between the two. We can only say that they are carved from the same mold.

The only difference was that the little girl was thinner, pale, and her skin looked a little sallow due to long-term malnutrition, while the one in front of Mo Yuan Wuhe now looked healthier and more sunny. However, the familiarity brought by the appearance was instantly stopped when Mo Yuan Wuhe noticed the temperament of the girl in front of him.

At this moment, Mo Yuan Wuhe finally figured out why he didn't directly associate the other person with the girl he had rescued when he saw her just now.

Temperament, because of temperament...

Although the girl in front of Mo Yuan Wuhe and the girl she had helped before, whether in appearance, age, or body shape, they can be completely matched.

But their temperaments are completely opposite, like a mirror.

The little girl seemed cheerful, but in fact she had a strong sense of restraint, as if she was trapped in shackles.

At such a young age, his thoughts are so mature that it’s terrifying.

Mo Yuanwuhe once carefully investigated the family background of the little girl out of curiosity.

It was discovered that her mother was once a well-known idol, but later seemed to have contracted some disease and had been staying in the hospital.

Her father was always busy with work outside and later even abandoned the mother and daughter.

It was quite natural that the mother transferred her resentment towards the father onto the innocent little girl, beating and scolding her for no reason.

This is also the reason why the other party's body was covered with scars when Mo Yuan Wuhe met him.

This is also the reason why Moyuan Wuhe wanted to call the police and ask her to seek police help.

But as mentioned before, she refused.

When Mo Yuan Wu He was in the hospital and the doctor was changing her dressing, she looked in pain and asked her once: "Do you hate your parents?"

This is how she answered Mo Yuanwuhe at that time.

"No hatred. Hatred is not a good thing."

It's normal for a little girl not to hate her parents.

But knowing hatred, and choosing not to hate even when being tortured, what kind of experience allows one to make such a choice?

For an elementary school student, this was obviously - very abnormal.

Later, Mo Yuanwuhe gradually discovered the root cause of this abnormality from the other party.

That is bondage, a self-bondage of wanting to be loved.

In order to be loved, she tried desperately to become better, mature and sensible.

The source of the other person's desire for love is the crazy mother.

Even if I am subjected to domestic violence, I am happy with it.

Mo Yuan Wuhe had secretly met the other party's mother, witnessed the other party's madness, and consulted the other party's doctor.

The idea that the person who tied the bell must untie it simply does not work here.

Mo Yuanwuhe could only try his best to help this poor and unreasonable little girl.

But she rejected it too.

The little girl seemed to have built a strange barrier while being restrained.

She refused any help from outside, including Mo Yuanwuhe, the police, and even everything from the outside world...

That was why it was fortunate that Mo Yuan Wuhe could provide her with direct help when she was in the hospital.

But in the later contacts, even the confiding was almost non-existent, and in the end we completely lost contact...

And this one in front of me...

Mo Yuanwuhe looked at the girl sitting in front of him in the morning light. He found it hard to imagine that she was connected with the girl who seemed to be tied up with chains all over her body.

Even though they look exactly the same...

However, Mo Yuan Wuhe thought for a moment and tentatively called out the familiar name.

"Nagisa-chan?"

Hearing Mo Yuan Wuhe's voice, the white-haired girl who was sitting on the chair and shaking her legs turned her head slightly, then gave Mo Yuan Wuhe a bright smile.

Before Mo Yuanwuhe could react to what was happening, the girl in front of him rushed towards him, hugged his waist and buried her face in his stomach.

"Brother Wuhe, it's been a long time."

When Mo Yuan Wuhe reacted and lowered his head to look at the girl who was hugging him in his arms, he subconsciously put his hand on her forehead. Only then did he realize that the person in front of him was indeed the child he was familiar with.

but……

"The old Nagisa would never do such an intimate thing to me..."

Thinking back to the girl's appearance in the past, Mo Yuan Wuhe couldn't help but ponder deeply - what on earth had caused such a big change in the other person?
As soon as this question popped up in Mo Yuanwuhe's mind, the answer appeared directly in front of him.

Looking at Kyubey who suddenly appeared on the window sill next to him, Moyuan Wuhe pursed his lips and ignored it for the time being.

Combined with the current situation of the girl in front of him who has become a magical girl and her past tragic family experience.

And the other party's current posture as if he had broken free from the shackles and was relieved. Even without Mo Yuanwuhe saying anything, he could guess that something had happened - it was probably not a happy experience.

Mo Yuanwuhe did not say anything irrelevant at this moment of reunion.

Since Xiao Zhu wanted to hold her like this, Mo Yuan Wuhe would keep holding her in this position.

The two of them felt each other's warmth and did not speak a word. The world seemed unusually peaceful at this moment.

However, everyone present knew that such peace could not last long.

Because the train has arrived...

Hearing the announcement of "Dear passengers, we have arrived at Mitakihara City. Passengers arriving at the station, please check your belongings and prepare to get off the train", Baijiang Nagisa naturally slipped out of Moyuan Wuhe's arms, and smiled brightly at Moyuan Wuhe as before, with his back to the bustling crowd behind him, he lowered his head slightly and said:

"Brother Wuhe, it's time for you to leave..."

"I have completed my mission and it is time to go."

Mo Yuan Wuhe looked at the girl in front of him. He didn't rush to leave, but he felt something was wrong. He frowned and said:

"Are you in such a hurry to leave? It's not easy for us to meet again."

"I want to talk to you more."

"Now that we're here, why don't you walk a little further with me and take a stroll around Mitakihara City?"

Looking at the hand that Moyuan Wuhe stretched out in front of him, Baijiang Zhu lowered his head slightly and was stunned for a moment, then smiled, raised his head and shook his head.

"Thank you for the invitation, Brother Wuhe, but forget it."

"My mission has been completed. If I don't go home, my mother will worry about me."

When Moyuan Wuhe heard this, she couldn't help but recall Baijiang Zhu's mother who beat and scolded her, and frowned.

"your mother……"

Before Mo Yuanwuhe could express his hesitation, Bai Jiangzhu on the opposite side smiled at him.

"Brother Wuhe, don't worry about Xiaozhu. Xiaozhu's mother won't beat or scold Xiaozhu like she used to. Don't worry, brother."

Hearing Bai Jiangzhu's words, Mo Yuanwuhe's brows slowly relaxed.

Also.

After all, the little girl in front of me is no longer the powerless elementary school student she used to be.

The other party has made a wish to Kyubey and became a magical girl, and the haze of family troubles must have dissipated from her head.

In that case, what is there to worry about?

He turned and walked to the exit of the tram, and just before leaving, he reached out and placed his hand on Baijiang Zhu's head, just like when they first parted.

"Goodbye, Xiaozhu, take care of yourself."

"Goodbye, Brother Wuhe..."

Looking at Baijiang Zhu who was waving goodbye to him with a smile on his face behind him, Moyuan Wuhe also waved back, then turned around and slowly disappeared into the crowd.

It's just not just an illusion or something.

An inexplicable feeling always lingered in Mo Yuanwuhe's heart.

But he just couldn't find the source of that inexplicable feeling, so he could only look back every three steps and keep looking at Baijiang Zhu who was still waiting at the tram door.

Until there is nothing left to see...
