Chapter 230 Flesh and Blood Reconstruction

The strange, sticky sound made her feel as if she were covered in a layer of slippery mud, leaving Mami Tomoe feeling weak and unable to muster any strength.

"Oh, you're awake? How are you feeling?" A faint and distant voice slowly pulled Mami Tomoe back from her daze.

"I..." Mami Tomoe tried to open her eyes and make a sound, but only felt a sense of emptiness, as if she were reaching out to grab nothing.

"Do you want to talk? Not now. Sleep a little longer. I haven't fixed it yet," the boy's voice came.

Sigh, what's there to fix?
Before Mami Tomoe could think any further, her consciousness sank into darkness once more.

"It's quite convenient. As long as you cut open the carotid artery and cut off the blood flow to the brain, she will lose consciousness." The tiny, sharp blade hovering in the air precisely cut open the bloody carotid artery, causing her brain to fall into a state of oxygen deprivation.

"Fortunately, Mami Tomoe hasn't fully woken up yet, and her body can still exert some influence without her actively controlling it."

"If she's fully awake, even if you churn her brains up, she should still be able to maintain some level of consciousness."

It was evening, and a terrifying and horrifying scene was unfolding in the park near Mitakihara Junior High School.

In a large crater where all the trees and rocks had been cut into pieces, white runes intertwined into chains, forming a spherical barrier.

Beside the barrier, many citizens who came out for an evening stroll looked at the strange pit in surprise, discussing whether a ground subsidence had occurred.

Some staff members also set up a cordon and began to investigate the pit, but they all subconsciously avoided the barrier in the center of the pit, as if it did not exist at all.

Inside the barrier was a bloody mess, with all sorts of organs, tissues and body parts floating slowly in the air as if weightless.

A solitary brain is exposed, connected to two worm-like optic nerves, and two eyeballs dart around.

Many tiny, sharp blades coalesced into a simple heart, interspersed with half a constantly contracting lung lobe, slowly beating and pumping oxygen-rich blood into the suspended head, barely sustaining the boy's thinking.

Although the Soul Gem is a soul, the Soul Gem itself has very poor thinking ability. The boy had just tried it and only had a nightmarish feeling of emptiness.

It seems that a portion of the brain is needed as an anchor to maintain relatively complete thinking and action.

Beyond the floating head, numerous sharp blades were pieced together, interwoven to form a human-shaped container.

The flesh and blood, which he had deliberately cut off and which had been shattered into pieces resembling minced meat due to being shot multiple times, had been collected into a container and, under the influence of magic, were slowly regrowing and healing.

Of course, at night, the boy's lonely brain was sighing with a sense of accomplishment: "Ah, finally almost done. It was quite a lot of work. Next time I encounter something like this, I have to use less force, lest I accidentally cut someone into too many pieces."

"Let me see, what's missing..."

The 3D projection phone, which he had just bought yesterday, hovered to the side, projecting an extremely detailed human anatomy. The boy repeatedly compared the structure to the projection. "Oh, it's still missing this part... it should be done by now!"

Once the parts were mostly repaired, white threads of magic began to weave through the barrier, like the puppet threads used to pierce through puppets in a puppet show, connecting the scattered flesh, organs, and other parts of the two girls together and promoting their healing.

Although it's not impossible to use healing potions to directly repair the body, and there are quite a few healing potions available, the boy was still reluctant to part with them.

When he plays games, he always collects items, hoarding them regardless of whether they are useful or not. Unless absolutely necessary, he will never use even the lowest-level blue or red potions, preferring to wait for them to regenerate automatically.

He was also quite interested in testing the restorative effects of magic.

It wasn't until late at night, with the bright moon in the sky, that the two girls slowly descended from the air and sat on a park bench, leaning against each other.

The boy Fang Zheng's body had almost fully recovered, and his flying head slowly descended, sewn onto his neck with white magical threads.

He sized up the two girls who seemed to be asleep. "Magical girl bodies are quite convenient, aren't they? If they were normal people, they would be dead by now."

"Even if there were some advanced suturing technique that could stitch up flesh shattered like this, as the science channel says, the large amount of scar tissue would cause deformities all over the person's body."

The boy clenched his fist, feeling his body, which was exactly the same as before. "Now, we only need to roughly piece ourselves together and input magic power, and we will automatically grow completely, without even any possible deformities."

"Speaking of which, the technology of the Soul Gem is quite outrageous. My body was cut into too many pieces, and the recovered pieces of flesh and blood weighed only about 40 to 50 pounds. Now that it has regenerated, the missing parts have also returned."

"According to the law of conservation of mass-energy, this amount of energy would be enough to blow up the Earth, right?"

"Well, I'm not very skilled at it yet. There's no time to heal during battle, so I can only use it temporarily by piecing things together. If I get more skilled in the future, maybe I can play around with cell recombination during battle or something."

……

Dad, Mom...

Inside the burning vehicle, held in place by bent metal, the girl was unable to move due to the pain of being burned by the flames and the dizziness caused by massive blood loss. All she could do was desperately call out for her parents amidst the scalding toxic smoke.

Do you want to live...?

Like a miracle, the small white creature obediently crouched in the flames, watching the girl who was almost burned to a crisp.

I want to live!
The girl reached out her hand to that only hope. "Then sign a contract with me and become a magical girl."

And so, accompanied by Kyubey, the girl fought and fought against monsters called witches to protect the city and humanity...

Memories flashed through her mind, and Mami slowly opened her eyes, suddenly feeling a dampness on her shoulder. "Kyoko?"

The red-haired girl, who was still asleep, hugged her waist, rested her chin on her shoulder, and her drool had already wet her shoulder.

Looking up, Mami Tomoe gazed blankly at the bright moon in the sky. "Why am I here?"

"Is it a hallucination?" But when she turned her head and looked at the police tape that had been put up in the park, and the huge signs of destruction around it, her sense of hope dissipated.

The events of the day flashed before her eyes, and a wave of guilt washed over her. "I actually wanted to kill Kyoko... I..."

“Apricot…” she shook the girl in her arms.

"Huh?" Sakura Kyoko opened her eyes in confusion, wiping away her drool. "Mami? Where are we...?"

"I'm sorry..." Mami Tomoe hugged her again, tears streaming down her face. "Kyoko, I'm so sorry..."

“Mami…” Sakura Kyoko also remembered what had happened, but sighed silently and gently patted Tomoe Mami’s back. “It’s not your fault, I don’t blame you…”

"Oh, you're all awake," footsteps sounded from behind them. The boy, Fang Zheng, walked over carrying a plastic bag and casually tossed them two bottles of drinks.

He stared intently at the soul gems of the two girls, finding no signs of further clouding, and breathed a sigh of relief. "You should feel better now."

“Hmm.” Mami Tomoe nodded silently.

As the boy sipped his drink, he said, "Sure enough, the turbidity of the Soul Gem is closely related to one's mood. The more turbid it is, the more extreme and chaotic one's emotions will be."

“Mami Tomoe, this is probably how you are during the day. When you’re already in a bad mood, your Soul Gem becomes cloudy, and the cloudiness exacerbates the extremes of your emotions, creating a vicious cycle.”

"This is a minor but significant hidden danger. We need to be more careful in the future and make sure the turbidity of the Soul Gem doesn't reach a certain limit."

"By the way, you two wait a moment." The boy stepped forward and gently patted the two of them on the head.

Mami Tomoe felt a sharp pain on her scalp, and then saw a cold light fly out from Kyoko Sakura's scalp, disappearing into thin air. "What is this?"

Seeing their puzzled expressions, the boy explained, "I was worried that you would go crazy again after waking up, so I put something in your skulls."

"If you wake up and go crazy again, there's no need to fight anymore. I'll just blow your head off first."

"Honestly, I really don't understand why you two are reacting so strongly?" The boy sat in front of Mami Tomoe and Kyoko Sakura, his hands supporting his chin, his face full of confusion.

"I don't understand what girls are thinking, it's really inexplicable."

"Think about it, doesn't your country also have the concept of ghosts?" He continued gesturing wildly, "Just like in the movies, the body is just an empty shell, the soul inside is the important thing, as for what shape the soul is, that's not that important, is it?"

Seeing the boy's matter-of-fact attitude, Mami Tomoe was momentarily at a loss for words.

She simply reached out silently, placed her Soul Gem in her palm, and gazed at its beautiful orange-yellow luster.

Perhaps it's a cultural difference, perhaps it's a gap in common sense between men and women, or perhaps it's simply a matter of personality.

Although the restoration of the Soul Gem's turbidity made her surprisingly calm, recalling her crazy actions during the day, especially her feelings when she tried to kill Sakura Kyoko, still left her feeling confused.

Even now that she has calmed down, Mami Tomoe still cannot accept that her soul has become such a thing.

She was somewhat reluctant to answer the boy's question, and simply called out softly, "Qiubi, are you there?"

"Mami, what's wrong?" a clear child's voice rang out.

From the shade of the park trees, the small, cute white creature emerged, jumped onto Mami's lap, and looked at her with its big, bright red eyes.

Those eyes, like pure rubies, and that lovely face that seemed to be adorned with a faint smile...

This creature, who had always called himself Kyubey and who had just learned yesterday to be an alien civilization called the Incubators, now seemed sinister and terrifying to Mami Tomoe.

"Kyubi...you've always known, haven't you?" Mami Tomoe's voice was very soft.

"Know what?" Cupid asked in a calm and leisurely tone.

Mami clenched her fists, her voice trembling as she asked, "Why did you lie to us? Why didn't you tell us that you turned our souls into jewels!"

"Didn't I tell you?" Kyubey's clear, childlike voice spoke in its usual leisurely tone, "Just as Fang Zheng said, the Soul Gem is, of course, the soul, right? Mami, your grades are pretty good, so why can't you understand?"
