Do you think this world is serious?

What followed was roughly following Anti-Entropy around, preparing for resistance, or even a counterattack against Fate.

Seele didn't quite understand why it was necessary to counterattack Fate, but as long as it was something Bronya wanted to do, she was willing to help Bronya achieve that goal.

"Keep it up, Seele!"

"Yes, yes! Seele will do her best!"

Seele continued with great enthusiasm, "Even if I leave the magical girl world, I will not slack off. I will try to learn magic on my own and strive to have my own magical girl form as soon as possible."

Chen Xiuming chuckled and pinched Xi'er's cheek as encouragement.

Sea Abyss City is located on the seabed, yet it is not dark due to the lack of light; it is so beautiful that it resembles a fairyland.

Xi'er leaned against Chen Xiuming's chest, staring blankly at the magnificent underwater world, lost in thought.

Chen Xiuming didn't disturb Xi'er. He quietly took out his phone to record the environment of Haiyuan City, planning to return the phone to the Magical Girl World Bubble later so that the girls in the Magical Girl World Bubble could appreciate the magnificent environment of Haiyuan City.

After sitting idly with Seele on the edge of Abyss City for a long time, Chen Xiuming finally got up and left, making sure to take Seele and Bronya's luggage out of the World Bubble inside his body.

Seele paid no attention to the luggage, but followed Chen Xiuming closely until she saw him off out of Haiyuan City. Only then did she return to Haiyuan City with a sense of loss, and find Einstein with her and Bronya's luggage.

Now that Chen Xiuming has left, there is no need for us to stay in Haiyuan City any longer.

……

Above the azure sky, the gray-white manta ray flaps its wings and soars, as if riding the clouds as its sea.

Although described as a "small" ray, it is actually quite large compared to its actual size.

Gana sat next to Chen Xiuming, softly humming an ethereal, unknown song, and one could sense that she was in a very good mood.

"My dear Xiu Ming, how do you plan to find Kiana in this world?"

As the song ended, Gana rested her chin on her hand and looked at Chen Xiuming with a smile.

Chen Xiuming seemed to be pondering. Given Kiana's current state, gaining her trust would not be easy, but once he did, he would become her reliance.

After all, Kiana recently experienced the "last lesson" and suffered a great blow. She has not yet emerged from the shadow of the past and remains in a dazed and withdrawn state.

After much thought, the best solution Chen Xiuming could come up with was to indirectly gain Kiana's trust through Cecilia.

As for Himeko...

Given Kiana's current state, Chen Xiuming truly couldn't guess what Kiana would do after meeting Himeko.

To avoid any unforeseen circumstances, he decided to keep Kiana from seeing Himeko for the time being.

"Me in this world..."

In the end, Kiana leaned against Chen Xiuming, her gaze blank and lost in thought, making it impossible for anyone to fathom her thoughts.

"It seems like Cecilia can't come over here, right?"

“Alaya consciousness has a way to solve this problem, but it can only allow Cecilia to stay here for about seven days each time. Also, it is possible to bring the headmistress Cecilia here.”

Gana looked enlightened and fell silent.

A moment later, the ethereal melody began again, but this time it had become another unknown tune.

271

Chapter 271: Sky City, a cyberpunk-style city.

Sky City.

Advanced technology has not led to economic and living standards improvement; instead, it has exacerbated the gap between the rich and the poor.

A three-dimensional city, with crisscrossing rail transit systems and gigantic, dazzling buildings...

Everything about it exudes a "cyberpunk" style.

The dense and towering skyscrapers flash a variety of neon lights and occupy high-level spatial positions.

In the dark and gloomy corners, although they are not filled with gangsters, thugs, robbers, or poor people whose identities can be guessed at a glance, or with a low, crowded, dirty and chaotic environment and order, they are filled with poverty and backwardness.

What would be considered a decent living environment in other cities would appear particularly backward in Sky Dome City, no different from a "slum".

A giant ray fell from the sky, yet strangely, it went unnoticed by anyone.

"Magic can be really useful in certain situations."

Janna stepped off the ray, a gentle smile on her lips, and looked around at the "cyberpunk" city.

Chen Xiuming followed closely behind, landing lightly on the ground. Beside him were the End Kiana, who was maintaining her "spiritual" state, and the "three-no girl" Alaya-vijnana.

The magic that keeps the ray from attracting attention comes from the Alaya consciousness.

Magic that reduces the sense of presence or makes people subconsciously ignore things may seem simple, but it is actually a very complex form of transcendental magic.

"A cyberpunk-style city..."

Chen Xiuming sighed softly, his face showing emotion.

Before this journey, I had read many cyberpunk novels and played many cyberpunk games, but this was my first time experiencing a cyberpunk city firsthand.

"So……"

Gana turned around and looked at Chen Xiuming with a smile, "My dear Xiuming, how should we find Kiana?"

Upon hearing this, both Alaya-vijnana and Kiana of the End looked at Chen Xiuming, while Chen Xiuming looked at Alaya-vijnana.

Before Chen Xiuming could even speak, his Alaya consciousness seemed to have guessed his thoughts.

"Instructions confirmed, super-tier magic is being deployed..."

As Alaya consciousness spoke, an invisible wave spread out, quietly forming a detection-type super-level magic that enveloped the entire Sky City.

The current detection-type super-level magic has undergone an iteration and is no longer as powerful as it once was in Remnant Star City. It can now detect and collect all the necessary information silently.

However, since super-level magic is based on Honkai energy, it is impossible to completely eliminate the Honkai energy reaction, so it is inevitable that those who possess Honkai energy will notice some clues.

In just a short time, Alaya consciousness not only memorized the entire map of the Celestial City, but also instantly obtained the access keys to all network databases.

In the field of electronic information, no one or nothing is more skilled than Alaya-vijnana, the main AI controlling the Stigmata terminal.

As for the people living in Sky City and Kiana's location, these were collected by the Alaya consciousness as "incidental information".

"The target has been identified. Should we use our Alaya consciousness to capture it?"

After collecting all the information, the Alaya consciousness transforms the detection-type transcendental magic into comprehensive transcendental magic, which can be transformed into specific types of transcendental magic at any time depending on various situations.

It can be said that as long as the Alaya consciousness is willing, it can completely seal off Sky City at any time, so that no living being can enter or leave, and network information cannot be transmitted to the outside world.

"No need, let's find a place to stay..."

Before he could finish speaking, Chen Xiuming suddenly realized that he did not have the currency of the [Original World], and fell silent.

Just as he was pondering how to obtain his "first pot of gold," the Alaya consciousness had already considerately solved the problem for him.

"The Alaya Consciousness has already purchased a suitable house for you and imported the map of the Celestial City and the house location into your mobile phone."

"...Where did the money come from?"

"While you are pondering, your Alaya consciousness has already earned you a considerable amount of money by trading 'Beng Bitcoin'."

"..."

Chen Xiuming fell silent, and after a moment he reached out and rubbed Alaya consciousness's head as a sign of praise.

Although he didn't know how Alaya-vijnana obtained the initial funds to purchase "Bentcoins", he didn't bother to ask.

Even if the Alaya consciousness directly fabricates a string of financial figures for Chen Xiuming's online account, no one will discover that it is "cyber counterfeit money".

Then, Chen Xiuming took out his phone to check the location of the house purchased by Alaya-vijnana, and at the same time, he instructed, "Mark Kiana's current location and the location of the stronghold on the map."

"Understood, it has been marked for you."

As soon as Alaya consciousness finished speaking, two bright green dots appeared on the map displayed on Chen Xiuming's phone.

Kiana is currently moving, not very fast, mostly on foot. As for the location of her usual hideout...

Whether by coincidence or by design, the house she purchased was located near Kiana's base.

"Please note—the individual 'Kiana's' base is not a house, but a basement."

Seemingly worried that Chen Xiuming might not understand, Alaya-vijnana didn't forget to introduce Kiana's stronghold.

Although the map marks the location of the stronghold, it would be difficult to find Kiana's stronghold even with map navigation if you didn't know it was in a basement.

"Well, I see."

Chen Xiuming responded, then confirmed the direction and walked towards the house purchased by Alaya consciousness.

It was quite a distance from there to the house, but he didn't plan to take a taxi; instead, he intended to walk there and visit Sky City along the way.

As long as you don't plan to settle down in Sky City, even the backward "slums" will offer unique fun and experiences.

Unlike traditional cyberpunk, Sky City, while filled with cyberpunk style, is not as chaotic as traditional cyberpunk.

At least along Chen Xiuming's journey, he didn't see much disorder or even dirt and chaos, let alone any disorderly or chaotic places.

During this time, he had already sent the Alaya consciousness back into the world bubble within his body, and through the connection between the world bubbles, he teleported her to the magical girl world bubble, and had her set about solving the problem of Cecilia's inconvenience in coming to the [original world].

The solution to this problem is not difficult, and can even be said to be very simple. However, it is only simple from the perspective of the Alaya consciousness. The underlying principle is actually very complex.

Based on Chen Xiuming's level of knowledge of magic, he only knew that Alaya consciousness used a series of super-level magic to construct a "gate" with teleportation capabilities, and then anchored it to the world bubble inside Cecilia's body, so that even if Cecilia went to the original world, she could travel back and forth through the connection between the world bubbles, as well as send other girls back and forth.

—For Chen Xiuming, knowledge related to super-level magic is currently considered "beyond his scope".

272

Chapter 272 First Encounter with Kiana.

Sky Dome City boasts world-leading technological development, but its slums struggle to benefit from it.

For example, in the developed areas of Sky City, robots are commonplace, if not ubiquitous. Tasks such as cleaning and street patrols are all handled by robots.

In the slums, these tasks still rely on inefficient manpower.

Although Chen Xiuming doesn't get to enjoy the benefits of robots cleaning for him, he can still enjoy the convenience of cleaning magic.

After applying the cleaning magic to each room, Chen Xiuming lay comfortably on the sofa, patiently waiting for good news from his Alaya consciousness.

Gana took the initiative to sit next to Chen Xiuming, then reached out and lifted Chen Xiuming's head, moving her body so that Chen Xiuming could rest his head on her lap.
