Chapter One Hundred and Nine: Time Belonging Only to Ning Xi
“Are you crazy?!”
No. 6 Ning Xi stared intently at the smiling No. 1 Ning Xi. Although she couldn’t find anything wrong with the girl no matter how closely she examined her, the words from the other made her deeply uneasy.
Has this guy really merged with the other Ning Xis?
“I’m not crazy. Rather, I’m just doing what I’m supposed to do. An incomplete version of us is more like a mental patient, isn’t it?”
No. 1 Ning Xi’s smile became even more radiant, causing the struggling No. 6 Ning Xi to involuntarily stop her actions, cold sweat appearing on her forehead.
Even being tightly bound to Tang Nai felt safer than staying here.
No. 1 was the first experiment subject to be separated and was also the most normal one. Her successful separation had made the experimenters cheer with joy, and they were even ready to celebrate a huge success.
But now it seemed that she was the most dangerous one, the one to be wary of.
From the very beginning, the experiment had a huge flaw. That group of idiots thought they had completely controlled No. 1 Ning Xi, not knowing that this guy had been pretending all along!
“Didn’t those guys around us notice?”
“They certainly won’t notice, after all, I’ve always been very obedient…”
No. 1 Ning Xi’s smile spread so wide it almost reached her ears. This bizarre expression, even on her beautiful face, felt disturbing. No. 6 Ning Xi, whose entire view was consumed by her, suddenly felt her blood run cold.
In the moment when their cheeks were almost touching, No. 1 Ning Xi suddenly straightened up with a jolt, and then a series of cheerful, ringing laughter erupted from her mouth.
“You’re killing me! You actually believed it! Looks like my acting is pretty good. And by the way, were you scared just now? Are you kidding? That’s clearly Little Four’s privilege! Hey, Little Four, come quick!”
Then, several indistinguishable girls surrounded them from all directions, forming a circle and looking at the terrified No. 6 Ning Xi with various expressions.
The one called Little Four, No. 4 Ning Xi, dressed in a heavy black dress, wrapped herself tightly, her face masked, looking despondent yet inexplicably cute. She tiptoed toward the tightly bound No. 6 Ning Xi, her gaze shifting, occasionally glancing at No. 6 Ning Xi’s face.
Curious, but somewhat scared.
“Enough! Stop wasting time! No. 1, due to your little joke, we’ve already wasted too much magic power and time. Don’t think controlling those guys around us is easy; my patience has its limits.”
The interruption came from No. 2 Ning Xi, dressed in a red dress, symbolizing anger, standing in stark contrast to the cheerful No. 1. Their relationship was quite adversarial.
So it made sense that she would speak up now, something the other Ning Xis had long gotten used to.
“Okay, okay, I just wanted to lighten the mood. Come on, am I the only one who finds this fun? Fine.”
No. 1 Ning Xi was still enjoying herself, but she obediently stopped talking. The group of Ning Xis continued to encircle No. 6 Ning Xi’s face, making the latter feel as if ants were crawling all over her, in unbearable agony.
“What do you want?”
The girls exchanged glances, and then No. 1 spoke up.
“We said, fusion. I’m not lying to you; we’ve been waiting for this moment for a long time. That group of idiots made moves on you to prevent this situation, which has caused us a lot of trouble.”
“I’ve had enough! If it weren’t for my still insufficient power, I would have wiped out those annoying things ages ago.”
“What good would it do to wipe them out? What has happened can’t be undone. Just thinking about it makes me unable to cheer up.”
“Forget it, what if we get caught if we’re found out? Shouldn’t we find a place to hide first…”
“Hey, hey, why are you backtracking now? We’re so close to success!”
The five girls each chimed in, leaving No. 6 Ning Xi dizzy, but at least she could tell one thing: these girls were serious about fusion.
“What you want to do has nothing to do with me. Don’t involve me; I still want to take revenge on those annoying guys.”
Hearing this, the five girls were taken aback, then spoke in unison:
“That’s not up to you.”
“Hehe, don’t worry. The reason you don’t want to fuse with us and still have other emotions is because those experimenters did some vile tricks. Just a little handling, and you’ll understand.”
“Stop wasting words; this girl talks about hate constantly. It really makes me furious. If she weren’t so special, I would want to slap her.”
“That group of idiots invested a poor little one inside No. 6, and roughly separating them has considerable risks, sigh.”
“Then how about we just pause for a moment? Think about what dangers this might bring. Uh, I’m not being negative; I mean, at least ensure we can successfully fuse without always being on edge.”
“That’s right. We should indeed be cautious, but sometimes being bold isn’t a bad thing…”
The five Ning Xis each activated their magic power, controlling the surrounding researchers while starting to delve into No. 6 Ning Xi’s consciousness, trying to resonate with her.
No. 6 Ning Xi, who had originally been resolute, was momentarily stunned. The magic power that made her feel close began to sway her heart, creating a certain resonance between her and the others.
“Even though I really dislike you guys, I… really want to try the taste of self-dissolution.”
This remark significantly affected the emotions of the others, with No. 2 Ning Xi angrily giving her a flick on the head.
“Get lost!”
No. 6 Ning Xi felt momentarily dazed, the resonance growing stronger, seemingly about to create a crack in her mind.
One half longing for completeness, the other half confused and bewildered.
Why should I fuse with these strange girls? I’m clearly not Ning Xi…
I remember now.
A part of memory that had been sealed was unlocked, and No. 6 Ning Xi broke free from the penetrating threads in her consciousness, tearing herself apart while enduring the pain.
One half belonged to Ning Xi, while the other half was an ordinary girl who felt somewhat out of place.
She suddenly appeared here, instantly breaking the harmony among the Ning Xis, as she had nothing to do with these girls.
She had volunteered to become an experiment subject, and those guys had promised her that after the experiment succeeded, they would restore her freedom and give her a large sum of money…
Whispers reached her ears.
“How should we deal with this girl?”
“Whatever. In any case, next comes the time that belongs only to the magical girl Ning Xi.”
