Chapter 623: Chapter 291: Major Family Events III: Night of the Witch (Part 6)_4

Red Giant grumbled discontentedly: “Anyway, let’s first get rid of these Dolls, then go slaughter those Witches in the sky, right?”

“Right, start moving.”

As soon as the voice fell, Bai Yi suddenly spread a pair of pure white giant wings, lifting Lan Ou’s body behind him, bursting out from the open glass curtain wall, and flying straight towards the three approaching super-sized Dolls.

….

….

At the same time, in Huanjing, at the Old Jingmai District, downstairs of Bai Ke’s home at the Old Jingmai Internet Cafe.

The distress signals of the Superhero Association rang throughout the area, with the warning sign of a lion bearing swords lighting up on the advertising boards on every tall building’s surface.

However, at this moment inside this aged internet cafe, the middle-aged proprietress was listening to pop rock music with headphones, impatiently dialing a number on the phone over and over again, but the call just wouldn’t go through.

The “du-du—” sound was frustrating.

The proprietress just put down the phone receiver when she received a panicky reminder from the new internet cafe manager, but she just took off her headphones and frowned: “Your face looks like you’ve got constipation. What’s happened outside?”

Mumbling, the proprietress lit up a cigarette and leisurely walked out of the cafe.

Arms akimbo, she scratched her pale fringe and squinted at the blood-red sky in the distance.

“Good grief, what’s going on… Can’t a person run a business anymore?”

She murmured to herself.

The proprietor thought to herself, she had just been making a phone call inside the internet cafe, leaving a message for someone, and now the world had turned upside down; this world was really magical…

As for whose number she was calling?

Naturally, it was Er Gouzi, the guy who always said in the internet cafe that he was a “legendary paranoid detective.”

Er Gouzi had been missing from work for a few days now. Initially, she left a nasty message on his phone, thinking to herself that she did him a favor by hiring him as an internet cafe manager, in this day and age, does one even need qualifications for that? And even if we’re running an unlicensed internet cafe, it’s outrageous to just disappear without even quitting the job, isn’t it?

She thought that Er Gouzi was a special talent; besides her, who else would employ him? Yet this ungrateful kid just ran off without a word.

Later, as she kept leaving messages, the proprietress was so angry she decided to stop bothering with Er Gouzi.

But then she thought, if not for her, who else would take the kid in?

Where would he go to live his life from now on? Thus, the proprietress softened a bit.

However, Er Gouzi never picked up her calls, for several days in a row, as though he had vanished from the face of the Earth.

She was wondering if something had happened to Er Gouzi; with his unique way of thinking, and not quite being like normal people, what if he was swayed by those pyramid selling organizations.

So she hesitated whether to report him missing, post a missing person notice or something. But then she felt putting up Er Gouzi’s photo all over the streets was practically like polluting people’s minds, his temperament was like that of a silly big dog, handsome yes, but not photogenic at all.

Bemused, the proprietress stepped out of the internet cafe, just about to smoke a cigarette to get some air, when she saw this scene.

“What on earth is happening, has the world turned upside down?”

Looking at the blood-red sky, the internet cafe proprietress stilled for a moment, took off her headphones, and finally realized why no one had come to use the internet that morning.

The next moment, she suddenly raised her head, peering through the dust-filled city streets, her trembling gaze fixated on the slowly approaching gray-white giant. The earth-shaking, thunderous footsteps nearly drowned out the blaring alarms echoing through the streets and alleys.

“My goodness…”

The lady boss was stupefied, the cigarette she had just lit fell from the corner of her mouth, scattering sparks as it hit the ground.

Just then, a hazy, pleasant song floated down from the bloody red canvas above, as enchanting as the siren song from the depths of the ocean. As the lady boss listened to this melody, she held her forehead, her consciousness suddenly becoming hazy, as if her spirit had taken flight, the world spinning around her.

She suddenly felt very sleepy, barely able to keep her eyes open, bracing herself against the wall at the entrance of the internet café, struggling to look around.

People on the street began to collapse one after another, falling into a deep sleep like babies in cradles.

As she watched this scene, the lady boss felt a wave of fatigue wash over her, slowly collapsing backwards.

As she fell to the ground, the reflection of the Witch’s Night far away filled her empty gaze—the Crown Dream Witch stood on the edge of the stage, bathed in a light screen, softly humming a lullaby that could send people to sleep.

The next moment, her eyelids slowly closed, her white-haired head nearly hitting the ground.

Suddenly, a hand reached out to support her body.

“Don’t be afraid, old lady… Lord Paranoia has arrived.”

The person spoke thus, gently lifting the lady boss’s body and slowly carrying her into the interior of the internet café.

In the dimly lit internet café, youngsters addicted to the web in the “no smoking” area toppled over one after another, heads hitting ashtrays, sleeping as if dead.

At this moment, for some unknown reason, the lady boss suddenly felt her consciousness clear a little, as if the person carrying her had used some kind of method. With her still drowsy consciousness, she slowly opened her eyes and looked at the figure’s back with tired eyes.

He was lean, with sickly white skin, and despite being male, had a ponytail.

The lady boss’s lips moved slightly, her voice intermittent: “Er Gouzi… why have you come back?”

In her tone, there was a mix of astonishment and reproach, thinking to herself what an idiot, not showing up when needed yet coming back to die during such times.

“Heh… I have been preparing for a long time.”

Lord Paranoia said confidently, placing the lady boss on a gaming chair at the front desk.

“What have you been preparing, ignoring all my calls, do you have a death wish?”

“I’ve been in deep cultivation for several days, spent tens of thousands of Mall Coins, and even managed to craft an origin card… Heh, this is—Magic within the Magical Girl, I must go now, old lady, get some rest.”

“No… Er… Er Gouzi, where… where are you going?”

The lady boss slumped in the gaming chair, staring at Lord Paranoia’s back, her voice weakly murmuring.

“Leave it to me, old lady, I will surely protect your internet café.”

Lord Paranoia said, emotionless and in a low voice.

He patted the lady boss’s back, then turned and headed for the exit of the internet café, facing the gigantic Doll that was walking towards Old Jingmai District. He unzipped the backpack of a school child behind him and took out a dark red knife.

By now, the lady boss could barely see his back, even the footsteps coming closer were becoming fuzzy to her ears.

Finally, as the lady boss could no longer resist the weight of sleepiness and completely closed her eyes…

Perhaps it was an illusion, but she seemed to see a girl in a dark red dress, holding a dark red scythe… The girl valiantly took to the air, transforming into a dark red meteor, striking towards the giant in the sky.
