NOVEL NEXT Chapter 11
Chapter Eleven Pretending to be Stupid
“Big sister, let me fight this monster!”
Leaning close to Xīng Huá, Fēi Rèn whispered, “While I keep it busy, you go in and save them…”
Fēi Rèn was clearly an extremely righteous good kid. Hearing the cries of people inside the warehouse made her grind her teeth in anger, wanting to rush in and suffer in their place! After all, in her eyes, the innocent civilians being harmed by the monster organization was her failure as a magical girl!
Just as Fēi Rèn was about to charge at the horse-headed monster, she was suddenly held back by Xīng Huá!
“Sister?”
Looking at Xīng Huá, Fēi Rèn anxiously said, “If we delay even a second, those innocent people will suffer for longer! Even if I have to risk my life, I will save them all!!”
Since Fēi Rèn spoke loudly, even Mèng Yuè watching TV could hear her. For a moment, she was moved by Fēi Rèn’s words and began to feel helpless…
“Damn… If not for the fact that I was captured by the monster leader, I would have saved them long ago!”
Clenching her fists, Mèng Yuè felt a rare sense of guilt. Mainly because seeing her partner fighting hard while she was enjoying herself in the monster leader’s room made her feel ashamed.
“Calm down, except for the monster leader, all monsters can be resurrected.”
Compared to Fēi Rèn, Xīng Huá seemed much calmer. She softly said, “Dying here won’t change anything. If something happens to you now, you’ll never be able to save lives again, and more people will die as a result—”
“If we can’t even protect the lives right in front of us, what’s the point of talking about the future and results?!”
However, Fēi Rèn pushed away Xīng Huá’s hand and charged towards the horse-headed monster without hesitation, her body burning with red flames!
“This guy—”
Seeing Fēi Rèn’s back, Xīng Huá felt speechless! Just as she was thinking of how to stop Fēi Rèn, the horse-headed monster suddenly changed his expression, as if receiving some kind of command, and sidestepped to make way.
“Bang!”
Fēi Rèn rushed into the warehouse, then she didn’t have time to care about her swollen forehead, and hurriedly shouted, “Are you okay?! I came to rescue—”
But the moment she looked over, Fēi Rèn froze… Because she saw two pools of something strange in the warehouse. If she didn’t look closely, she wouldn’t have realized they were actually people. The twisted faces showed how much pain they endured before death.
“This… This…”
Instinctively taking two steps back, Fēi Rèn had never seen such a scene before. She felt her stomach cramp. Just as Fēi Rèn was about to vomit, she accidentally noticed a very thin middle school student in the corner.
Right, there were three kidnapped people. But unlike the other two victims who were unrecognizable, this person was only tied up with a white cloth in his mouth… Apart from that, he was unharmed, even without much dust on him.
“That… It’s already over.”
Struggling to suppress the urge to vomit, Fēi Rèn walked forward and cut the ropes binding the middle school student, then said with regret, “I’m sorry, because of my negligence… You had to see such a scene.”
At this moment, Fēi Rèn’s heart was in agony. Just looking at the two tortured beyond recognition made her want to vomit, and this middle school student was forced to watch the whole thing, which would surely leave a psychological shadow if not properly addressed!
“It’s fine, thank you for rescuing me.”
In reality, the middle school student was much calmer than Fēi Rèn imagined. He silently accepted the help and remained expressionless in front of the media, only expressing gratitude for the rescue by the magical girl.
“It’s all my fault!”
Fēi Rèn was still pounding the ground in guilt! But when the middle school student left, Xīng Huá noticed a faint smile on his lips…
“Alright! Let’s go!”
Pulling up the still grieving Fēi Rèn, Xīng Huá used teleportation magic to disappear before a crowd of reporters could interview them. Meanwhile, Mèng Yuè watching TV understood the general situation through the reporter’s report…
“They… They were so cruel!”
Although she didn’t see the warehouse, from the reporter’s description of “a horrifying torture,” it was clear what the monster organization did to the kidnapped people!
“I must find the evil energy converter and destroy this wicked organization!”
Staring at the TV, Mèng Yuè said angrily! After yesterday’s incident… she had developed a soft feeling, and today’s event only reinforced her original resolve!
“Damn monster leader, I won’t let you get away with this—”
But at this moment, Mèng Yuè suddenly heard a sound coming from the entrance. Her face immediately changed, as if a child caught watching TV by their parents, full of anxiety!
Oh no! The… monster leader is back! I was so engrossed in watching TV that I didn’t notice the time, and it’s too late now! Without cooling down first, turning off the TV would still leave traces, and the fact that I watched TV can’t be hidden anymore!
Pretend to be stupid! Instead of trying to hide it, it’s better to just pretend to be stupid!
Thinking this, Mèng Yuè relaxed. She swung her legs while watching TV, after all, she was just a clueless little kitten. Accidentally flipping through the room and randomly pressing buttons to turn on the TV was quite natural!
“Hehehe~~~ Ah-ba ah-ba~~~”
But due to her guilty conscience, Mèng Yuè made a more foolish expression than usual! She stared blankly at the TV and emitted meaningless giggles, trying hard to show that she couldn’t understand what was happening on screen…
When Bái Yǔ entered the room, Mèng Yuè happily shouted, “Master!” and, overwhelmed with excitement, fell off the sofa…
“Hehehe~~~”
Rubbing her forehead, Mèng Yuè smiled foolishly. Then she crawled on all fours to Bái Yǔ’s feet, affectionately saying, “Master, welcome back~~~”
How’s my performance? Don’t underestimate me… I used to raise cats!
Mèng Yuè thought proudly, and this scene successfully left Bái Yǔ standing there stunned, momentarily unaware that the TV had been turned on…
