Chapter 824: Chapter 16: Wenwen’s Special News Reporting Skills (Part 2)

Wasn’t there always this saying?

——Like in the Western Magic System, there’s a concept called "Magic Potion";

——And in Eastern Immortal Dao Cultivation, there’s always been the saying of "Elixir."

In short, if your skills aren’t enough, rely on the power of potions, using them is quite necessary. The Little Witch feels optimistic depending on the special mushrooms from the Magic Forest; by eating more daily and accumulating a bit of magic power, it’s a rare growth indeed!

Speaking of mushrooms though...

Sitting on the outer corridor, Alice lightly furrowed her brows, she recalled some unpleasant events, hesitated a bit and couldn’t help but ask, "Speaking of Marisa, do those mushrooms of yours really have no weird side effects?"

"Really none, Xiao Ai, didn’t I already tell you?"

Kirisame Marisa sat up at once, looking puzzled at the blond maiden, "The side effects of those magic mushrooms at most are just hallucinations, that’s all for us. I’ve eaten all the mushrooms in the forest, absolutely no exceptions!"

Regarding this question, her tone was very confident, with a hint of expert aura.

Back when she first left the Kirisame Family and moved into the Magic Forest, she survived by eating mushrooms during that period!

"..."

"..."

"I see..."

Alice remained silent for a moment.

No other side effects, so that means her previous weird sensations weren’t caused by the mushrooms... Then what was it all about? Could it really be her own doing?

"What’s wrong, Xiao Ai?" The Little Witch asked curiously, as Alice was confirming this question with her for the second time.

"Nothing..."

The blond maiden suddenly felt a bit upset but didn’t want to ponder over this troubling issue. She merely turned her head again, trying to suppress the unfamiliar emotions while looking at the spread-open notebook in her hand, which displayed a hand-drawn map of Fantasy Land.

Taking a glance, the blond maiden tried her best to speak calmly as she shifted the topic:

"We’ve already eliminated Sunflower Field, Demon Mountain, Lost Bamboo Forest, those few locations... Now the remaining suspicious places are Magic Forest and Lake of Mist, both characterized by vast areas that have enough space for the World Tree to grow."

"Unless the tree grows at the summit or sprouts in Hell, otherwise, excluding other realms, these two locations in Fantasy Land are the ones worth being skeptical about..."

"Based on Remilia’s ability and Pachy’s divination, they can roughly confirm these two directions. Now they’re returning to Lake of Mist for investigation, while we’re going to head to Magic Forest next..."

"..."

Listening to Alice’s analysis, the Little Black and White Witch twitched her mouth: "Magic Forest is so big, perhaps Reimi, that silly vampire, will come over to help us after inspecting Lake of Mist... Of course, if they just happen to capture the mastermind, that’s another matter entirely."

BOSS battles are always more troublesome...

It’s a cumulative experience from previous disturbances, even those gods, Great Demons, Moon Surface people, etc., haven’t truly been serious, only revealing the mere tip of their true power, which is already exaggerated...

"Let’s see who’s luckier then." Reimu Hakurei finally sat up, this lackluster Witch stretched with effort and said, "Let’s set out early, while there’s still time, today we might be able to... eh?"

A bundle of newspapers accompanied by a whirlwind swept inside the shrine without warning.

The impact was simply like launching an air-to-ground missile.

And the Wind God Maiden who came along completed the airdrop and immediately chose to retreat swiftly, disappearing into the sky within seconds.

"..."

"..."

"Again, that annoying Crow Tengu!" Reimu Hakurei rubbed her forehead struck by the newspaper and spoke very angrily, then looked towards the bundle of newspapers on the ground, "But didn’t today’s newspaper already get published? Has she found some big news again... eh?"

The newspaper’s page, a large photo dominated the view, with a very familiar background.

"Isn’t this the Magic Forest? Hey, seems like it’s at your place, Xiao Ai!" Peering at the photo, Kirisame Marisa took a quick look and recognized the photo’s background immediately.

Isn’t that the Magic Forest?

It’s where my home is, something must have happened when we went to Demon Mountain to fight, right?... Oh, wait, turns out it’s Xiao Ai’s house that’s troubled, not mine, then it’s fine!

"What?"

Not paying much attention initially, Alice naturally was stunned for a moment.

The news section’s large photo actually consists of two images.

The first photo shows a young man in white and black-haired and a silver-haired, silver-eyed girl standing opposite each other in the forest, seemingly confronting over something. The former seems to be explaining, while the latter appears fearsome, "ferociously" glaring at the other side.

As for the second photo...

It’s drawn wide-angle, showing Magic Forest still, and Puppet House in the background proves they’re in the same area, but the surroundings are already without the forest, only a scene of apocalyptic scorched earth remains, countless trees turned to ashes, unable even to burn...

The terrain’s visibly sunken, like a huge iron hammer slammed into a nail.

Several miles around have literally collapsed.

Aya Shameimaru’s photography is excellent, framing is superb, from the photos alone, she subtly conveys the intended "terrifying," "tragic," "ferocious" atmosphere! Skillfully swapping the order of the two photos further constructs a very intuitive misperception for all newspaper readers—

A moment ago.

The two were still in a standoff, one weakly explaining, the other fiercely and discontentedly pressing...

The next moment.

The surroundings vanished, like a savage power descended bringing equals destruction to life, the scene seemed bombarded by a blitz of missiles, riddled with holes, devastated...

This situation really doesn’t require much imagination to naturally conjure a terrifying scenario.

"...!!"

Alice’s face turned white almost instantly upon seeing the photo.

Why is this happening...

What happened...

Why did Mama come at this time? And ran into this person? Why did she act against him?

Wait, in her own problems, she always displayed such stubbornness... I couldn’t stand her heavy-handed affection, that’s why I secretly ran out from the Demon Realm, determined never to return, hid my identity as a Demon Princess, lived a quiet life in Fantasy Land.

Is the current situation that...

Has Mama come after a long time, wanting to learn about my current situation while also discovering this person’s peculiarity?

Since even I feel odd about my attitude towards this person, and have been troubled by it for long. Would Mama upon knowing this part, after hearing these rumors in Human World, what would she think? Is she so angry because of this anomaly, that she did this terrifying deed...

A blank mind...

That person... has that person... really died?

The blond maiden at this moment doesn’t even know what she’s thinking, only shakily stood up, face pale, and rushed toward the Magic Forest.

"Hey, Xiao Ai! Xiao Ai! What’s going on, did something happen?"

"Wait for me!"

In the back, Kirisame Marisa shouted confusedly several times without getting a response, she could only hurriedly grab her broom.

Meanwhile, Reimu Hakurei, also perplexed, could only sigh and followed swiftly behind.
