NOVEL NEXT WORLD Chapter 64
Chapter Sixty-Four: The Magic Girl’s Undercover Mission!
“Huh?”
Upon hearing this, Xīng Huá first looked stunned, then she asked, “Sister Mèng Yuè, what’s going on this time?”
“That despicable monster leader… he cunningly manipulated my memories and transformed my body into a monster!”
Pressing her forehead with her palm, Mèng Yuè said painfully, “But every day, there is about an hour when my memories will revert to their original state! Right now is when I am lucid. I will help you escape!”
“Manipulate memories?”
Blinking, Xīng Huá said incredulously, “He can tamper with other people’s memories so easily? But… that doesn’t make sense! If he can manipulate memories, why didn’t he just alter mine directly?”
“Because certain conditions are needed… It took him a long time to brainwash me!”
She pressed a button on the remote control, and Xīng Huá was immediately released from the cross. Then Mèng Yuè hurriedly said, “Follow me… I know how to escape from here!”
“Phew…”
Just after enduring those tortures, Xīng Huá’s body had already become weak. However, Mèng Yuè quickly supported her frail body and said concernedly, “Hold on… I know you’re in pain right now, but you need to hold on to escape!”
“Sister Mèng Yuè… Can I trust you?”
At this moment, Xīng Huá directed her gaze towards Mèng Yuè’s eyes… pure, holy, and full of confidence from within, the eyes of the strongest magic girl she remembered.
“I’m sorry… I don’t have any proof to show myself right now. Whether you believe me depends only on yourself.”
With her head lowered, Mèng Yuè said with a gloomy expression, “After all, I did so many terrible things to you, but I still hope you can trust me! Trust your former partner…”
“Alright! I believe you, Sister Mèng Yuè!”
After carefully observing Mèng Yuè’s eyes again, Xīng Huá confirmed that the person in front of her was indeed the past magic girl Mèng Yuè! Because of always being wary of others, she was quite accurate in reading people…
“Thank you!”
Supporting Xīng Huá, Mèng Yuè cautiously opened the door to the torture room… peeking out and seeing no one in the corridor, she led Xīng Huá out of the room.
“This… is the true base of the monster organization?”
Through the floor-to-ceiling glass in the corridor, Xīng Huá saw the magnificent black castle outside and showed a surprised expression, just like Mèng Yuè did initially!
“Mm-hm! I only found out after coming here that the so-called monster bases we attacked before were all fake. There were five such bases in Starry Sky City alone…”
Nodding, Mèng Yuè softly said, “You don’t know how luxurious their lives are here… They are just monsters.”
“By the way, couldn’t you use teleportation magic directly?”
At this point, Xīng Huá suddenly asked, “I can’t use it now because I lack magic power. Your magic power should be enough for teleportation, right?”
“It’s not possible… Otherwise, I would have escaped long ago.”
To this, Mèng Yuè shook her head and explained, “The entire castle has been sealed off from teleportation magic. Only the monster leader has permission to use it… However, some rooms have secret passages. We can leave the castle through those passages.”
Thus, Mèng Yuè supported Xīng Huá to a door and said, “We’re here. This room has a secret passage leading outside the castle.”
“Huh?”
Xīng Huá clearly didn’t expect the secret passage to be in such a close location. Mèng Yuè said, “You go ahead! I’ve already been modified… going back would only result in my being disposed of. So, I won’t go back with you!”
“Like that…”
At this moment, Xīng Huá began to feel something was off… but she still subconsciously opened the door. Inside, she saw a small, cramped room with a black collar, a silver dog chain, and some strange items, but nothing resembling a secret passage.
“!”
At this moment, Xīng Huá finally realized she had been deceived again! She angrily turned her head, but a purple-gas-covered hand appeared in front of her, covering her mouth and nose…
Why… When her eyes and aura had returned to normal…
Xīng Huá fell unconscious again, while Mèng Yuè’s attitude instantly changed, revealing a joyful smile as if she had passed an important exam!
“Yes! My acting fooled Xīng Huá! It even fooled the one among us three with the best intuition!”
Smiling widely, Mèng Yuè said, “If even Xīng Huá couldn’t recognize me… then the other magic girls and Pābǐ definitely won’t. This way, I can surely complete the undercover mission assigned by the master!”
Congratulations to Mèng Yuè for winning first place in the acting contest as Mèng Yuè… Although it sounds a bit absurd, for the completely twisted Mèng Yuè, playing the high-minded version of herself had become a difficult task!
“But combining past memories… I finally succeeded in the act!”
Holding her little face, Mèng Yuè excitedly said, “With more practice, I can sustain the act for longer! Then, I’ll first gain the trust of those evil magic girls, and then… hehehe…”

At the same time, in the rental house in Starry Sky City…
“Huh?”
Hearing Pābǐ’s words, Fēi Rèn widened her eyes… then, as if afraid of mishearing, she asked again, “What did you say?”
“Your sister… is dead.”
Lowering her head, Pābǐ said with a sorrowful tone, “I saw the monster leader destroy your sister’s magic core and crush her heart with his own hands…”
“Sister… wasn’t she invulnerable to all attacks?”
Compared to Pābǐ’s mournful tone, Fēi Rèn’s voice remained relatively calm. Her gaze was somewhat empty as she asked expressionlessly, “The sister who could turn intangible… how could she have her magic core destroyed by the monster leader?”
“The monster leader secretly had the female monster ambush her from the side.表面上他光明正大地与你姐姐决斗，但趁着她实体化的瞬间让她卑鄙地进行了偷袭，以此剥夺了你姐姐的行动能力……
“Then… he walked towards your sister step by step, enjoying her despair before destroying her magic core and crushing her heart with his own hands.”
“And… before she died, I could feel her strong desire to see you one last time… She probably had many things she wanted to say to you, and seemed to have many apologies she wanted to make… But these simple wishes can never be fulfilled anymore.”
“Click.”
A crisp sound echoed, and a half-centimeter crack appeared on the magic core inside Fēi Rèn’s body.
