Chapter 1201 Transformation (To Be Honest, It’s Hot Both Day and Night)
Although it was a little surprising that Tomoe Mami would take the initiative to stand up, it was not surprising if you think about it carefully.
From Duanmu Huai's understanding of Tomoe Mami, there is only one core element of this person—fear of death.
At first, Tomoe Mami signed a contract with QB to become a magical girl because she didn't want to die.
So naturally, she must hope that she can survive, so she certainly won't be willing to accept the ending that the magical girl will eventually become a witch.
This is the same as a cancer patient. If you continue with the current chemotherapy, you will die sooner or later. But with the new treatment, the probability of recovery and deterioration is half and half—at least it is better than now. After all, if you continue now, the ending is certain.
And if you use the new method, then at least the probability of not becoming a witch will be half. In other words, from 0 to 50, the probability has increased by half!
For others, they may consider it, but for Tomoe Mami who is eager to live, this is her only choice.
Or she has no other choice.
So after dinner, everyone came to the rooftop of the hotel, a place hidden from the public, and prepared to start the ceremony.
"I still don't understand... How do you do this?"
Sakura Kyoko looked at An who was drawing a magic circle on the rooftop floor, frowned, and asked with a suspicious look. Duanmu Huai did not answer this, but shrugged his shoulders - in fact, he didn't understand it either, so it was better to let the experts do the explanation of this process.
And soon, under the gaze of everyone, An also drew the magic circle and began to explain in detail.
"Well... According to our research, the QB system compresses your fate and future together, and condenses them into a soul gem, which is separated from the body and placed separately. To be honest, we think this is probably the insurance of the QB family when dealing with the rebellion of the magical girl."
"Insurance?"
"Yes, after all, the soul is the core of life, so the body is like a suit of armor to the soul, which can protect the soul from being destroyed. But when the soul is taken out, the body loses its armor function. And you have all experienced many battles, and you should also understand that the risk of the soul gem being damaged when placed outside is also very high."
"Ah, that's right..."
Hearing this, Huan Caiyu said timidly.
"In fact, I have also thought about whether to hide the soul gem, but to be honest, I don't know where to hide it... I have also thought about hiding it in a more inconspicuous place before... But..."
"But?"
"After each transformation, the soul gem will return to its original position, so I gave up..."
That's right, if the soul gem returns to its original position after each transformation, there is no point in hiding it.
"In short, the existence of the Soul Gem increases the risk of death for everyone. You can imagine that the Soul Gem is your heart. If a heart is not in the chest but beats outside the body, you will definitely feel uneasy."
"Uh... That's natural."
Just thinking about it makes me feel uncomfortable, as if I will die in the next moment.
"So what we do is to decompose the Soul Gem that was originally solidified and restored to its original form, and then merge it with the body again - just like the spirit summoning technique."
"Ah, you mean the kind of medium, right?"
Qianzhu clapped his hands.
"I've seen it in many horror movies, where the medium will hold some kind of ceremony to summon the soul of the dead, and then the soul of the dead will attach to the body of the medium and speak... ..."
"It's almost like that, but if the soul attaches to someone else's body, the risk is very high and it won't last too long. But the original body here is your own body, so even if the soul goes back, there should be no problem in theory."
"In theory?"
As the only college student here, Nanami Yachiyo was keenly aware of the meaning of An's words.
Well, it seems that this college is not in vain.
"Yes, before you signed the contract with QB, you were just ordinary girls. After signing the contract with QB, you gained the ability of a magical girl. Although according to our research, this is a hidden power that the QB clan has distorted your future through some means, integrating your cause and effect with fate and soul, and then activated. However... In our experience, this kind of forced activation of power usually has some hidden dangers."
"Is there such a thing? QB never told us!"
"After all, they are just consumables, and QB doesn't care about your life or death."
Duanmu Huai sneered.
"What the QB clan needs is the huge emotional energy that erupts when you transform from a magical girl to a witch. In other words, in their plan, they don't need to consider providing for the magical girl's old age and death - you will die sooner or later, so it doesn't matter if you have some defects, right? Anyway, you won't live to give it a bad review."
"Damn it!"
Hearing this, Sakura Anzi punched the wall in anger.
"If I see that damn thing, I will definitely stab it to death!"
Compared to Sakura Kyoko and Tamaki Iroha, Tomoe Mami herself seems very calm.
"So, is the problem the soul itself?"
"Well...that's right. No one knows what consequences the incomplete soul will have when it returns to the body. Originally, according to Miss Sydney, this required long-term observation and return visits..."
It's not about treating the T virus. Why is it so professional?
Although strictly speaking, this is indeed related to Xue Li's major.
Treat illnesses and save lives...
"AAA will be responsible for the investigation in this area."
Yugiri Ayano, who had been standing silently beside him, also spoke at this time.
"We have the leading treatment center in the country. If Tomoe Mami is willing, we can make an appointment for you to have a comprehensive body examination later."
"Then it's up to you."
Seeing Tomoe Asami bowing and thanking Yugiri Ayano in front of her, Duanmu Huai could only sigh.
This guy is really afraid of death.
"Okay, done!"
At this time An also finished drawing the magic circle and clapped his hands.
"Please come in, Miss Tomoe Asami."
"……………good."
Staring at the magic circle in front of her, Tomoe Mami hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded resolutely, and then walked to the middle of the magic circle. At this moment, other people were standing aside curiously, watching the scene in front of them uneasily - after all, although they are also magical girls, it is quite rare for them to see such a scene of truly performing magic. .
"Then, let's begin!"
Seeing Tomoe Mami standing in the magic circle, An also took off the magic book in his hand, and then the magic circles emerged from An's side, completely wrapping Tomoe Mami in them, and they seemed to be densely packed. It's like a cage composed of countless circular magic arrays.
"Wow..."
Seeing this scene, Qian Shu couldn't take his eyes away and his eyes widened.
You know, this is magic, real magic!
Of course, this does not mean that other people's magic is not powerful, but in Qian Shu's opinion, the magic used by magical girls is different from the magic she imagined.
On the contrary, it’s Ann’s magic—well, it’s very much like that fantasy!
"Ugh..."
In the magic circle, Tomoe Mami was seen frowning slightly, showing a slightly painful expression. At the same time, the soul gem in her hand began to emit a hazy golden light. At first, the light was as weak as a firefly, but gradually became more dazzling, and then - the light in the soul gem seemed to have turned into liquid, pouring out from it and flowing down Mami Tomoe's fingers. Just disappeared into her body!
"Wow————!"
Seeing this scene, the other magical girls also screamed in surprise, Qian Shu even took pictures with a mobile phone... Well, I don't know if I want to post it on Moments.
After a moment, the magic circle surrounding Tomoe Mami disappeared, and Tomoe Mami's legs weakened and she collapsed on the ground.
"Hey, Asami, are you okay!!"
Seeing this, Sakura Kyoko hurried to Tomoe Mami's side, grabbed her and asked. When hearing Sakura Kyoko's question, Tomoe Mami opened her eyes, then closed them again, and then shook her head.
"It seems... nothing particularly strange??"
“How it goes, you’ll know just by trying it.”
If Miki Sayaka is a free-range guinea pig and cannot be intervened by humans, then Duanmu Huai doesn't have so many worries when someone like Tomoe Mami comes to her door on her own initiative.
Others also wanted to know the consequences of doing so, so with everyone watching, Tomoe Mami also began to try one by one.
Every magical girl's abilities are related to their wishes, and Tomoe Mami is no exception. In fact, Tomoe Mami's ability is not to summon weapons. Her magic is essentially a long ribbon, and Tomoe Mami will use magic to turn the ribbon into a gun to launch attacks... Well, as for why it is a gun Not a sword?
That's another question.
After the soul returns to the body, Tomoe Mami can still use this magic, but she cannot transform again. Moreover, according to Tomoe Mami, after using magic at high intensity for a period of time, she will feel Very tired.
From An's point of view, this is a normal phenomenon, but Tomoe Mami says that's not the case. After signing a contract to become a magical girl, she would almost not feel tired at all. Unless the soul gem became more turbid, which would make the magical girl feel painful and uncomfortable, otherwise you would not be tired even if you ran a 100,000-meter marathon.
But now, Tomoe Mami only maintained her usual fighting frequency for one-third of the time, and she felt very tired.
"I think this is normal."
An was not surprised by this.
"After all, I have seen Miss Tomoe Mami's magic. Under normal circumstances, such a large-scale fire coverage attack, even from a magic point of view, is completely regarded as the most advanced magic. Even for a kingdom mage, Casting a similar spell will also exhaust the magic power. It seems strange to me that Miss Tomoe Mami can continue to use such large-scale magic without any backlash. "
"Maybe this is why magical girls' soul gems tend to become cloudy?"
Duanmu Huai also nodded. After all, he also knew that magic girls were strictly speaking psychics. This level of psychic pollution... well, it's not impossible.
"Maybe."
"I see... ... "
Hearing the exchange between An and Duanmu Huai, Nanami Hachiyo next to him also said with a serious face.
"But, at this level, there is no way to fight against the witch..."
"That's not an object that one person can fight, at least for most people... If it were Manalia, threats like witches would also require the deployment of the Magic Guard to solve. To be honest, in my opinion, it is incomprehensible that the magic girls here can face such dangerous objects alone."
"Because each witch only drops one seed of sorrow..."
Huan Caiyu also whispered. A weak magic girl like her can best understand the difficulties. Why do magic girls fight alone instead of forming a team? The reason is very simple. There is only one witch, and there is only one seed of sorrow that explodes. So if a magic girl fights against a witch, as long as she wins, then at least the income and expenditure will be balanced.
But if several magic girls team up to fight a witch, and then encounter a powerful one, then by then the soul gems of the three people will be blackened by more than half, and facing the witch who only exploded one seed of sorrow, they might start to fight among themselves.
So the most common thing between magic girls is to exchange information with each other, and it is rare to say that there is such a thing as teaming up to fight witches.
"But we don't have to worry about this problem now."
"Huh?"
"Because the soul gem is gone, it won't be contaminated..."
"Ah."
After hearing Duanmu Huai's reminder, everyone suddenly realized it.
Yes, in the past, the magic girls were afraid that the soul gems would be contaminated, so they fought alone. Now that the soul gems are gone, although the time they can fight is also reduced, the part that needs to be purified is omitted, which is more convenient!
"In short, take her for a full body check first."
Duanmu Huai turned to Yutong Lingno and spoke to her.
"No matter what, we still have to believe in science."
"……………To be honest, I think magical girls are already very unscientific."
Everyone was speechless in response to Qianzhu's complaint.
