Chapter 141 Witch's Night_2
If you wanted to know what Witch Night was, you probably could only pry it out of the mouths of the three bigwigs at the Magical Girl Alliance, so he needed to get close to Xizi Yue.
Ke Mingye was intensely surfing the internet when the "clerk" who was leaning on the counter playing Minesweeper suddenly walked over and sat opposite him.
The clerk tucked his phone into his jacket and said in a relaxed tone, "Coming in so early, looks like you're just like me, heard the boss is back and wanted to taste his craftsmanship?"
Who the hell are you?
Ke Mingye looked up, confusion apparent in his gaze.
Before him sat a handsome young man dressed in a gray hoodie, underneath which he wore a white T-shirt printed with the "Polar Bear Bookstore" font and cartoon logo, paired with black cloth pants.
The young man lifted his brown eyes, looking at him with interest, a slight smile curling the corners of his mouth.
The next moment, Ke Mingye saw a informational panel pop up above the other's head.
[Name: An Senlu]
[Age: 20 years old]
[Strength: Unknown]
[Character Nickname: Old Day Chess Player (???)]
Ke Mingye stared at the text displayed on the panel, stunned for a full two seconds, his thoughts nearly crashing.
No way, the same question mark level strength as my mom?
At that moment, he fiercely remembered that in the Superhero Round Table, the Divine Communicator Zeus, ranked S in strength, was only third. So could this guy possibly be that mysterious figure ranked NO.1 in the Superhero Round Table?
Thinking this, Ke Mingye put away his phone and met the other's gaze feigning calm, asking, "Buddy, you need something?"
"No worries, he just rarely sees someone coming in so early, so he struck up a casual conversation with you."
As he spoke, the owner of the coffee shop slowly walked out, placing a steaming cup of coffee and a plate of sandwiches on the table, then said calmly, "Enjoy."
Ke Mingye's eyes flitted over the manager for a moment, and he froze for half a second.
[Name: Xia Mingwei]
[Age: 19 years old]
[Strength Rating: Unknown]
[Character Nickname: Son of Rainbow God (???)]
Xia Mingwei had a sharp facial structure, with deep, dark eyes, and a prominent nose. He was dressed in a waiter-like black and white checkered uniform with a light brown kitchen apron.
After serving the breakfast, Xia Mingwei leaned against the counter, one hand on his shoulder and the other holding a cup of hot coffee for himself, taking a light sip.
"Excuse me, boss, something just came up, can you pack this for me?"
Ke Mingye hesitated for half a second before looking up to ask the manager.
Hearing this, Xia Mingwei set down his coffee cup on the counter, sighed, and turned to An Senlu, saying, "See, you scared him."
"Really?"
Saying this, An Senlu shrugged helplessly, "Xia Mingwei, I feel like it's your problem."
"Behave yourself." Xia Mingwei said.
Seeing that the two were not paying attention to him, Ke Mingye urged further, "I'm really tight on time, boss."
"Alright, then I'll pack it for you." Xia Mingwei said.
"Buddy, my name is An Senlu, and we might meet again in the future. Of course, that will require fate, everything depends on fate."
An Senlu took out his phone from his pocket, lowered his eyes, and while playing Minesweeper, he spoke to himself.
"I'm Ke Mingye, buddy, you wouldn't happen to be a Taoist, right?"
"No, just a chess player."
Ke Mingye scratched his nose and complained, "But I've only ever heard Taoists talk like that."
Hearing this, An Senlu chuckled softly, teasing, "I actually know a Taoist who's currently living a reclusive life on Mount Hua."
As they spoke, Xia Mingwei came over with a well-packed bag of food and placed it on the table.
"It's all packed."
A moment later, Ke Mingye walked out of the coffee shop, holding the packaged bag, his heart still racing. Bathing in the morning sun helped soothe his uneasy mind.
Damn, what kind of people are these two? So, just having a cup of coffee in the newbie village, and I happen to bump into two final bosses?
As he pondered, he quickly left Number 7 Street and then opened the communication feature, tapping into the city's player discussion group.
[City Players Discussion Group]
[Failed Man: Guys, whatever you do, don't go near the café in Old Jingmai District. Sometimes there are two hidden bosses that spawn there.]
[Fan Quan sent a private message.]
[Fan Quan: If you're not fully awake, sleep a bit more, and stop spouting nonsense in the group. Isn't your whole family a bunch of final bosses?]
[Ke Mingye: I'll explain later, my head is spinning.]
After sending the message, Ke Mingye returned home, enjoying breakfast in the kitchen while searching for information about "Witch's Night."
Then he sat on the couch and played "Assassin's Creed: Black Flag" on his Switch.
...
...
Time quietly shifted to ten o'clock in the morning, Yandai Commercial Street, on the long-abandoned rooftop of Huanjing Elementary School.
A magic girl dressed in a gothic gray gown stood with one hand on her hip, leaning against the wall as she frantically tapped on her smartphone encased in black gloves.
[I'm not Ash: Have you arrived yet? You're standing me up again. Be careful, I'll tell the master and have her dock your pay!]
[Little Red Riding Hood: Senior, you really are impatient. Can't you show a little more tolerance and love for a poor garbage-picking orphan girl?]
[I'm not Ash: I'm giving you five more minutes.]
[Little Red Riding Hood: I'm here, here!]
Ash lifted her head, and from a corner of the sky, wrapped in wind and snow, a blonde girl dressed in a Christmas gown and wearing a Christmas hat was gently being brought over.
Magical Girl Xiaohongmao emerged from the wind and snow, her toes touching down on the rooftop floor.
"See, I'm here," she said.
"About time. Let's go."
Magical Girl Ash said coldly, moving her gaze away from her and turning to walk through the rooftop door into the building.
Xiaohongmao followed, and soon the pair reached a classroom on the fifth floor.
Looking up, they saw two magic girls sitting in front of the "meeting table."
[Code Name: Magical Girl Hong]
[Age: 14]
[Strength: C+ level]
The magical girl on the left was wearing a pink pleated skirt, with long pink hair bound by a bright red hairband.
She sat neatly, hands properly placed on her knees, appearing somewhat constrained.
[Code Name: Magical Girl Feng]
[Age: 15]
[Strength: C++ level]
The other magic girl had short golden hair and was dressed in an elegant skirt as red as autumn leaves. Her face held a neutral beauty, resembling a handsome boy.
Magical Girl Ash, holding her shoulders, introduced to Xiaohongmao: "These are your two teammates. You'll be working with them for a long time to come."
Xiaohongmao nodded, didn't reply, and tried to look a bit shy. Discover exclusive content at My Virtual Library Empire
"Hello, I'm Magical Girl Hong, Hong as in Rainbow,"
Hong lifted her head, showing a friendly smile, her voice sweet and fine, just like her smile.
"I'm Feng, Feng as in Maple," Feng said faintly.
Seeing Xiaohongmao struggled to speak, Ash sighed and spoke for her, "Let me introduce, this is Little Red Riding Hood..."
As she said this, Magical Girl Ash turned her fair cheek away and continued, "She is... my sister."
"Eh?"
Hong and Feng both paused, stunned.
"Ah?"
Xiaohongmao also paused for a few seconds, thinking, since when did I become your sister? Isn't that somewhat unethical?
