Chapter 121 No More Acting
Noah looked at the anxious look on the other side, and then at the person holding their heart, and roughly understood seven or eight parts of the situation.
"Is Lingbo with 'the other you'?" Noah turned to pat her heart and asked.
"That's right." She patted her heart and nodded. It seemed that Noah, the person from the future, understood her feelings very well, which saved her the time of explanation.
"Ji Xia held off two enemies over there, while my other self used the Mystic Code 'One-Way Recall' to teleport over there, using the one most skilled in close combat, and temporarily held off one of the assassins. However, Ji Xia now faces two 'Eternal Radiance' level magical girls..."
After speaking with his hand over his heart, he glanced at the anxious person on the other side.
While at the pharmacy, Bi'an heard that Lingbo had been hunted by a future assassin, and he almost wanted to fly directly to Guangyang City immediately.
However, he stopped her with his hand on his heart—
"Your strength is limited right now, and you wouldn't be of much use in the past. With 'another me' there, Lingbo is safe for the time being. Besides, 'the other me' is also heading towards Guangyang City. Our primary task now is to rescue Noah—"
"If Lingbo is attacked, then Noah will inevitably be attacked as well. We should go and support Noah, who is closer, first, and then go to Guangyang City together."
This is why Bi'an and Fuxin came to find Noah first.
"We have to get to Guangyang City right now!" Bi'an could no longer contain his anxiety. "Let's go now! It'll be too late if we wait any longer!"
Shen Zixin was in a precarious situation, and every second of waiting was agonizing for her.
However, Noah gave an answer that the other side could never have imagined—
"You guys go to Guangyang City first. In Yuehua City, Huixiang and Fuping may have been attacked as well, I need to go and support them."
"What?!" Bi'an stared wide-eyed in disbelief. "Ah Xin... Lingbo has three 'Eternal Shao' level enemies on her side! Aren't you worried at all?!"
"Of course I'm worried," Noah said calmly. "But you guys can go ahead first. It'll be fine if I'm not there. Trust me, things with Lingbo... might not be as serious as you think."
"It's not that serious?!" The woman on the other side was nearly losing control; she glared fiercely at Noah—
"Noah, I don't care what you're thinking, I only know that A-Xin is in danger! I have to get to him immediately!"
She glanced at Noah one last time, her eyes filled with disappointment. The next moment, without any hesitation, she transformed into a dark red streak of light and flew resolutely towards Guangyang City.
Watching the figure on the other side rush towards the sky without hesitation, Noah felt a mix of emotions.
The anxiety, the determination, and that reckless obsession... it was as if she were seeing her past self. She could understand that feeling, that impulse to burn everything to protect the most important person in her life.
As for Fuxin, it seems he still wants to try to persuade Noah.
"Noah, you should come with us. There are three 'Eternal Radiance' level magical girls in Glorious City, and they're all members of the 'Seven Councils.' Even if all five of us gathered together, we might not be able to defeat them... Right now, I need your strength."
However, Noah simply shook her head slightly, her gaze fixed on the other side of Moonblossom City.
"However, my comrades are equally important. Don't worry, since I said that... there shouldn't be any problems with Ayanami."
Seeing Noah's attitude, she sighed in relief. Then, she too transformed into a streak of light, following the trajectory of the other shore.
Noah was left all alone in the sky.
She turned and flew towards Fennel's house. The cold wind brushed past her ears, calming her restless heart slightly.
At this time... Huixiang should be at home tutoring Xiaoling and Yehan, right?
You have to hold on! Fennel!
As for Guangyang City... Lingbo's safety...
A bitter smile appeared on Noah's lips.
In fact, she already knew what was going on in her heart.
Just as the four corrupted magical girls inexplicably retreated, even though he hadn't activated his mental image, he still sensed "that."
This indicates that Ji Xia will not perform under these emergency circumstances.
Given this, it's actually more likely that the woman will kill the other two corrupted magical girls. Even if she can't kill them, she could severely injure them, creating a chance for Rei and Fushin to escape.
only……
Afterwards, how will Ji Xia explain all of this to Ling Bo?
She single-handedly took down two "Eternal Glory" level corrupted magical girls? No matter what reason she tried to fabricate, it was impossible to explain it clearly.
In the end... she may very well find herself in the same predicament as "Ji Xia of her own time".
It's really laughable.
He himself... when he was in dire straits, Ji Xia revealed his true power right in front of him.
How similar it is to the current situation!
It was from that moment that cracks began to appear in her relationship with Ji Xia. To cover it up, Ji Xia could only resort to lies.
However, to cover up one lie, more lies are needed to cover it up. In the end, Ji Xia drove herself into a dead end.
Normally, Noah shouldn't hate Ji Xia so much.
In her own world, Ji Xia fought alongside her, sharing life and death for over a decade. Ji Xia was even willing to risk his life for her.
Not to mention, Ji Xia had saved her life more than once.
Noah could also sense that the woman's feelings for her, as her "older sister," were genuine.
Noah had asked herself this question more than once—
[Ji Xia used her true power to save you, didn't she? If it weren't for her, you would have died long ago. She values you more than her own secrets, which means that in her heart, she would rather expose herself than not save you... Why can't you forgive her?]
However, whenever this question arises, another image involuntarily appears in her mind—
That woman, that once dazzling "sister" like the sun, crawled at his feet like a pitiful maggot, hugging his legs, her face covered in snot and tears, desperately begging for his forgiveness in a hoarse voice.
And he himself simply replied in a condescending, emotionless voice—
I can never forgive you.
At that moment, for Noah, all the beautiful memories they shared, all the mutual support, all the life-and-death experiences they had gone through... all turned into an absurd joke.
The more unforgettable the memories of his "older sister" were, the more he hated that woman.
I could never forgive her.
