Yae Sakura!Beep!

Nodding, he casually threw away a flintlock gun that was still smoking, Ba Mami said.

Although there were more than two or three kittens and puppies, there were no more than twenty or thirty familiars after seeing them all. Obviously, they were not comparable to the witch barrier they had fought against before.

That's hundreds of thousands, just looking at it is enough to make some new magical girls daunting.

"Even for newly hatched witches, this amount is too wrong."

Once again, the newly-appeared familiars were quickly eliminated, Ba Mami continued.

"Mami, I remember, when we were on that bridge, there were far fewer familiars than now, right?"

After hearing Ba Mami's words, Sakura has a different opinion.

"Could it be the reason why this witch is relatively weak?"

she thought, and asked.

"The reason why it seemed so weak that time was because the witch had been hunted down by me for a long time, and it had been running away, and there was no way to get the supplement of magic power."

Pulling out a big gun from under the hem of the skirt, Ba Mamei directly stuffed the muzzle of the gun into the mouth of a familiar who had just exposed his head.

"At that time, I thought that the reason why you didn't have a witch's kiss on your body was because its magic power was so poor that it couldn't even confuse ordinary people."

After a gunshot, together with the flintlock gun, it dissipated with the familiar into invisible magic power.

"The environment of the movie theater is really unique. The seed of lament hatched here will not only increase its magic power due to the flow of people, but also speed up the hatching speed. If I'm not wrong, the seed The Seed of Lamentation should only have been released...appeared here in the past few days."

When it came to the end, Ba Mamei's eyes flickered for a moment, because she didn't want to think in that direction, she temporarily changed her rhetoric.

Of course, everyone knew what she meant, and that was enough.

After a while, Sakura found something unusual again.

The number of familiars that keep appearing is getting smaller and smaller.

Frowning, no one said a word. In this case, it is useless to think too much. When you reach the finish line, you will naturally know the truth.

Until a certain moment, they never saw even one familiar appearing again.

The surrounding environment became quiet, and the indoor space where even the sound of the wind hardly appeared, only the footsteps of four people running were left.

And their restless heartbeat and breathing.

He didn't say to relax his vigilance, even if there is no threat around him, but danger is precisely because it cannot be detected, so it appears dangerous.

He kept his formation, didn't stop, and didn't speed up.

In this way, the four of them walked to the end of the corridor unharmed.

In front of a large black curtain.

It's like the curtain before the opening of a good show, waiting for someone to lift it. Of course, what will happen after this is not necessarily what the audience expects.

Madoka took a few breaths, and retreated behind Sakura and Asami together with Sayaka.

The two people in front looked at each other, Sakura nodded, stepped forward, and finally pulled Sakura Chuixue out of the scabbard.

Although it was not the first time they had seen it, several people couldn't help admiring such a beautiful and gorgeous sword.

This is not a traditional samurai sword, but more like a ritual sword for sacrifices.

The white fluff on the tsuba, the complicated decorations on the hilt, and the eye-catching lines on the sword made Sakura Fubuki not seem like a sharp weapon that could be used in actual combat.

Everyone prefers to have it only enshrined on the altar, or collected in a display cabinet at home. Of course, some museums may not refuse to add such a work of art to their museums.

But none of these can block the piercing sharpness of Sakura Fukixue's crimson blade.

When placed on a high platform, it is indeed a work of art.

But when Sakura held the handle, it was a sharp weapon.

Nothing is a constant weapon.

as now.

Lightly raised Sakura Fukixue with one hand, but with a casual wave, the scarlet sword marks streaked across the air.

Quietly, the pitch-black curtain shattered and disappeared in the air in an instant.

The curtain disappeared, and the scene hidden behind immediately caught their eyes.

At the same moment, Ba Mamei, who had already been prepared, waved out a large number of flintlock guns and was about to fire them.

Then, they all froze.

Chapter 176 Can the 101st string witch also deceive people?

The surging familiar?

No.

Infinite magic power?

No.

Scary-looking witch?

nor.

In the unusually empty movie theater, it was completely different from the environment outside.

As if returning to the real world, the distorted portraits on the walls, ceiling, and floor have all disappeared.

They couldn't see any familiars appearing suddenly, and the surrounding was so quiet that they had the illusion that they had been stripped of their hearing.

No, at least, the sound of Madoka's breathing, as well as everyone's heartbeat, can help them judge this point.

Taking a closer look, Sakura noticed that it should have been installed on the wall with a huge screen, but now it was replaced with a huge oil painting.

Because of the dim light and the overall dark tone of the oil painting, none of them noticed the abnormality at the first time.

And following the wave of magic power that has been guiding them, they discovered that this oil painting was the source.

As always, it was the distorted abstract portrait that made them uncomfortable, but also made the other three people feel strangely familiar except Sakura.

It seemed to be some famous portrait, but the specious appearance made them unable to remember which famous painting it was.

It's quite in line with the witch's usual style.

"It was placed together..."

With a wry smile, Ba Mami dismissed the flintlock guns around her as she followed closely behind Sakura.

"Has the witch escaped?"

Frowning lightly, Sakura turned her head to look at the aisle behind her again, but there was no change. From this, it can be judged that they have not escaped from the enchantment of the witch.

"—!"

Suddenly, a silent roar rang out with a wave of spreading magic power, which made Madoka, who was an ordinary person, grunt a little uncomfortable.

Turning their heads quickly to look, there was a sudden change in the portrait that they judged to be simply used as a bait.

The monster with twisted limbs struggled and broke away from the oil painting, and fell to the ground with an uncomfortable smell.

The magic power emanating from this new familiar is two or three times stronger than those of the previous familiars. Presumably, the witch has spent a lot of effort to create it.

However, those two or three times stronger than ants are still ants.

But after taking a second look and confirming that it was just a stronger familiar, Sakura casually swung the knife, and the crimson air blade cut it off at the waist.

Looking at the magic power flying away due to the collapse of the demon, Mami felt a little headache.

"The witch should still be here. The fact that the enchantment of the witch has not dissipated is an obvious proof. However, we don't know where the witch will be now, and how did it learn to use this method to deceive us?"

Anyone can see that this is just a simple inducement. The familiar with the aura of a witch is used as a bait to ambush in this place, but the real witch has long since disappeared.

"Witch... can she also lie to people?"

Sakura had an ominous premonition, she asked solemnly.

"No, witches are not rational. They may act according to their own laws, but the ability to think does not exist."

Shaking her head, Ba Mamei was also a little strange, she paused, she hesitated, and then continued.

"However, despite this, they are similar to us humans—or in other words, similar to most creatures in nature. Although they have no thinking ability, they still have certain instincts."

"For example... because you can't fight, you choose to run away?"

Recalling what Mami said not long ago about chasing and killing the witch, Sakura took her words.

"That's right, so I don't rule it out. This is an instinctive choice made by the witch out of fear."

After walking around the cinema hall twice, they didn't find any trace of the witch, and they all started to feel a little annoyed.

But don't forget, Hitomi hasn't been found yet.

"Then what should we do now? Mami, can you still find the location of the witch?"

The only thing that can be sensed is the fluctuation of the magic power emitted by the familiar before. Now, standing in this position, they don't even know what to do next.

"No, I can't find any traces. After all, this is the inside of the witch's enchantment. If it wants to hide it, there are really too many ways to get rid of us... Moreover, the hiding ability of this witch is not weak. .”

As Ba Mami said, the soul gem embedded in her hat, although shining all the time, never clearly pointed in any direction.

The witch's breath is mixed in the entire witch's enchantment, and it is impossible to clearly identify where it is.

"One more thing...Sakura, don't you think, those before..."

With the index finger and middle finger together, rubbing her temples, Ba Mamei recalled what happened just after they entered the witch's enchantment.

"It's so strange, not only the number of familiars, but even the familiars didn't show up later. If you say you don't care about us at all, but this bait... is too contradictory?"

Nodding her head, Sakura was also very puzzled.

If you think about it this way, then what's the point of those familiars who came up in twos and threes to hinder them?

They don't believe that the witch is really so weak, and even the familiars only have such a small number.

Standing in this place was useless, as Sakura was also walking in front, and they followed the path they had walked before and walked out of the movie theater again.

"Could it be... that it wasn't used against us?"

On a whim, Xiaoyuan opened her mouth softly, and she asked in a low voice with uncertainty.

"Perhaps the reason why those familiars are rare is because someone has cleaned up this place before us?"

Seeing that none of the three of them spoke, Xiaoyuan mustered up some courage and continued.

"Or, because we are all dealing with another person who may also be a magical girl, so there is no way to take care of our side at the same time?"

Speaking of this, others didn't have any ideas yet, but Madoka herself suddenly thought of Xiao Meiyan.

If there was anyone other than Sakura and the others who would enter the witch's barrier to fight the witch, then Madoka's first reaction was to think of Homura Akami.

Or it should be said that she made such a guess precisely because she suddenly thought of Xiao Meiyan.

Hearing Madoka's conjecture, the other three were not stupid either, they also thought of that person whose action logic was completely different from theirs.

"Assuming... If there is such a person, is it because the witch does not want to face two groups of magical girls at the same time, so she set up such a bait to lure one of them to another place?"

Madoka had just finished speaking when they walked out of the long corridor and returned to the lobby of the movie theater.

"Madoka, what you said is very reasonable...Indeed, we may have all fallen into a misunderstanding before."

After thinking for a moment, Sakura agreed with Madoka's guess.

"Not bad! Madoka!"

Putting a hand on Madoka's shoulder, after hearing Madoka's previous speculation, Sayaka looked at her friend with admiration.

"But, regardless of whether this is the truth or not, we still can't find where the witch is now."

Before Madoka could respond to Sayaka's words, Sakura poured cold water on her again.

After thinking about it, it was indeed the case, and everyone became troubled again.

"Wait, look!"

Ba Mamei suddenly made a sound, and followed the direction she pointed, beside the gate of the movie theater, there was a shallow claw mark, which was not very conspicuous.

Although I just passed by here once before, everyone was very anxious at that time, because they were here to crusade against the witch, and no one would pay attention to whether there was anything unusual about the gate. pass.

Now returning to this place, Ba Mamei calmed down and wanted to find out some clues, only to find these traces.
