Black Wukong stood in the middle of the street, his face turned to the side, silently gazing at the Blue Owl in the distance through his mask. He remained silent, his feelings quite complex.

It's kind of funny, but the reason Bai Qiuwu went out was because she had seen the news on Weibo not long ago that "the Dice Monster has appeared on the Huanjing Tower again!"

Because of those previous examples, when Bai Qiuwu saw the news, she subconsciously thought that this strange thing must be inviting her to meet again.

There seems to be no reason to pay attention to it;

But ignoring it doesn't seem like a good idea either... Who knows if it might get so bored that it does something outrageous.

But she really didn't know what reason she should come up with to meet it. Wouldn't it be embarrassing to be led by the nose by it every time?

Suddenly, she remembered that the "Dice Monster kidnapped the Commander but then released him unharmed" had happened today. So Bai Qiuwu thought she should ask the strange thing what it was up to today, so that she would have a reason to meet it.

She then left without looking back, riding her somersault cloud towards the No. 7 elevated highway around Beijing.

When Bai Qiuwu rushed to the No. 7 overpass, she found that there was no one there at all. So she sat alone on the railing, staring at the brightly lit city in the distance for a while, but she still did not see the Dice Monster.

In the end, she felt like a bitter woman who had been stood up for a date, somewhat annoyed, yet also feeling that she was just being delusional: that strange thing didn't always chat with her on this overpass every time it rolled dice, and besides, it had mentioned something about a "Mr. Ninja" this time, but she had subconsciously dismissed it as nonsense and naturally ignored it...

Just as Bai Qiuwu was about to slink away with his golden cudgel, he suddenly heard a huge commotion coming from the Linjiang Business District. He thought to himself, "Since I'm already here, and a superhuman crime has occurred, I haven't come out for nothing."

Bai Qiuwu then rode the somersault cloud to the place at top speed, took a look, and then the following events unfolded.

At this moment, the blue owl noticed that Black Wukong was staring at it, so it tilted its head slightly, causing its beak to tilt as well.

"Uh...hello?"

He greeted her slowly and waved to her from a distance.

Black Wukong stared at him for a while, then let out a soft sigh of relief.

Because her current supernatural abilities are insufficient to see through solid objects, only illusions, she cannot discern who is behind the Blue Owl mask. Furthermore, the other party is using a voice changer, making it unrealistic to identify them by their voice.

"Should we take a hard line and just pry his mask off?"

She shook her head at this thought.

"No, let's forget it. There are other ways and means to confirm his identity. Removing his mask now might put him in danger."

As Black Wukong pondered this, she glanced out of the corner of her eye at the reckless media reporters and passersby filming with their phones. Under these circumstances, she couldn't very well publicly remove Blue Owl's mask, regardless of who was behind it.

So she took her phone out of the pocket of her metallic trench coat, her fingers wrapped in hand guards typing rapidly on the screen, and then turned to Blue Owl.

The blue owl looked up and saw the words written above: Are you injured?

He shrugged and said, "It's a minor injury, just a broken rib or two. With a superhuman physique, it'll heal in a couple of days. Thank you for your concern, Mr. Black Wukong. If you hadn't arrived in time, I'd probably be torn in two by that wicked woman by now..."

"That's good."

Black Wukong continued typing and lifted the screen to reply.

At the same time, he secretly memorized the location of Blue Owl's injury, planning to take it out on Ke Mingye as soon as he got home. He would turn into a BBK learning machine and point to the spot where it hurt, just to see if the kid would still pretend.

Of course, she would be even happier if he didn't react: having a dragon brother and a magical girl sister at home is enough, but if she had a superhero brother, life would be unbearable.

She glanced back at Black Rose, who lay unconscious on the ground, a pool of blood beneath the witch.

Although the ninja said he had shown mercy, it seemed he hadn't completely spared her: such a wound would have killed a weaker superhuman long ago; fortunately, Black Rose's body had its own regenerative abilities, so she could withstand this amount of bleeding.

Bai Qiuwu had originally thought that he could have Blue Owl bring Black Rose to the association building, so that he could also get some credit.

But if Black Rose is just pretending to faint, then there will be a big problem. With that kid's mediocre skills, he would be more than capable of being killed by a low-health opponent.

After all, Blue Owl isn't like her, receiving martial arts instruction from Sun Wukong every day.

Although the monkey's teaching was rather perfunctory, like he was just going through the motions with a child. In Chinese mythology, Sun Wukong mostly overcame battles by overwhelming his opponents with his superhuman strength, and there were very few occasions where he needed to use martial arts. But this did not diminish his natural intelligence and self-taught talent.

Therefore, Bai Qiuwu knew in her heart that the monkey wasn't incapable; it simply didn't want to teach her properly. However, learning even that little bit was enough: in most fights against criminals, her fighting skills generally gave her the upper hand.

After a short while, Black Wukong used his Somersault Cloud to slowly lift the witch Black Rose's body, laying her on the rolling cloud. Bai Qiuwu had personally experienced this feeling before; it was like sleeping on a massage chair, which helped promote sleep.

She herself planned to stay nearby and secretly observe the route the Blue Owl took. Unable to leave, she could only let Somersault Cloud handle the matter for her.

Currently, she trusts the Superhero Association more than the police. After all, superhumans make up a small percentage of the police force, and it's safer to leave tasks like escorting witches to the Superhero Association.

Just as Black Wukong was about to use his Somersault Cloud to send Black Rose towards the Superhero Building, a deafening roar suddenly echoed through the sky.

Amidst the gasps of the crowd and the sudden dimming of the neon lights, she abruptly raised her eyes, squinting her sharp gaze at the opening that was gradually spreading across the night sky.

Within the crack, a huge and hazy outline gradually emerged.

Like a giant, folded umbrella slowly unfolding, the pattern gradually expands, eventually forming a ring-shaped tower that extends upwards, its form inevitably reminiscent of the Tower of Babylon in the Bible. The tower's body is as dazzling and radiant as the aurora borealis, yet it exudes a sacred, solemn, and inviolable majesty.

"what is that?"

Black Wukong tilted his head back, muttering to himself in a daze.

The next moment, a beam of light emanated from the center of the tower, instantly enveloping the witch Black Rose's body and scattering the somersault cloud beneath her.

Black Wukong took a step back, instantly creating a considerable distance between herself and the pillar of light descending from the Tower of Babel. By the time she reacted, the pillar of light, along with the witch Black Rose's body, had vanished.

Looking up at the sky, the crack in the heavens and the image of the Tower of Babel had vanished without a trace, as if God had stretched out his hand and wiped them from the world.

The blue owl, not far away, was equally shocked. As the tower was reflected in his pupils, the system notification said that this was the work of the "Witch Church - Tower of Babel".

"Didn't Black Rose already leave the church? It seems those witches haven't completely given up on her; they actually rescued her."

The blue owl snapped out of its reverie and pondered to itself.

He decided that when he returned the brain imaging helmet to Ash tomorrow, he would also ask her about the "Witch Church" and "Witch's Night".

The next moment, as the Tower of Babel disappeared from the sky, the neon lights and billboards on the street lit up again. The thorns that had taken root everywhere had rotted and withered, collapsing like a pile of mud.

"The witch seems to have been rescued. What do we do now?"

Blue Owl asked as he walked toward Black Wukong's retreating figure.

"I don't know... You should leave quickly, there's still danger here."

Black Wukong didn't turn to look at him. He just lowered his head and thought for a moment. Then, while talking, he stepped into an alley, formed a somersault cloud under his feet again, and rose into the air on the cloud, disappearing from people's sight in an instant.

"Yeah, it's time to go home." Blue Owl muttered to herself, one hand on her hip. "When I get back, my second brother and eldest sister will call me in for a meeting. I hope they won't pressure me with my eldest brother's help, or I'm really worried I won't be able to hold on..."

Since Che Zhengchen is still in the hospital and hasn't woken up, he has no reason to return to the Superhero Association for the time being.

After all, the necessary statements and oral records for the Dice Monster incident have been completed; as for tonight's Witch Church incident, once Commander Che wakes up tomorrow and learns about what happened today, he will naturally contact him, and then a visit to the association will be sufficient.

After that, he did the same thing again: he turned into a deserted place, activated the invisibility function of his night belt, and then tried to keep his footsteps as low as possible before turning back and entering another alley.

Then, they entered an underground casino, exited the vast casino through another exit, took several long detours, and even used "phase shift" to switch places with a small dog on the second floor of an apartment building. After hiding in a dark corner for a while, they finally made their way towards the old Jingmai commercial street, entered the abandoned train station, and reconnected with their original body.

In addition, Ke Mingye's main body also deployed the Bluebird reconnaissance aircraft in advance at the train station to observe whether there were any abnormal situations nearby.

Fortunately, nothing seems to have happened.

He did this to guard against his second brother, who was likely still hiding in the shadows nearby, observing him. If he couldn't shake him off, his use of a puppet would be exposed.

Moreover, after half a day, the doll's lifespan is almost up and it will automatically destroy itself soon. It will be too late when that happens, so we must find a safe place to get rid of the doll as soon as possible. There is no time to lose.

Finally, Ke Mingye packed the Blue Owl combat suit, brain imaging helmet, and other items into an old storage locker at the train station, then punched himself hard in the chest.

It has to be said that this punch was really vicious, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood and break one or two ribs. He was in so much pain that he was screaming and gasping for breath while clutching his chest.

But that's the effect we wanted; otherwise, it would be hard to explain why the injuries that appeared on the Blue Owl didn't appear on him.

Immediately afterwards, he sat on a public wooden bench, hugged his chest to calm down, took a sip of mineral water to clear the bloody taste from his mouth, and then moved away from the old Jingmai Railway Station.

Ke Mingye walked home while playing with his phone, and on the way, he also used his browser to look up the names of "the two magical girls who were killed by the super criminal Ghost Hand Buddha a few years ago".

The results came out quickly. In the official obituary at the time, the code names of the two contracted magical girls were "Magical Girl Bird Technique" and "Magical Girl Silver Robe". In this situation, there was no need for the authorities to hide the real names of these heroes who sacrificed for the peace. So, their real names were also revealed in the obituary. The former was named "Lin Jiaqi".

As for the latter, her name is "He Yinlu".

Lin Jiaqi's body has been cremated, but He Yinlu's body was not recovered: According to the official explanation, He Yinlu's body was likely torn into many pieces by the Ghost Hand Buddha and thrown into the factory's furnace, so it could not be recovered.

“He Yinlu…”

Ke Mingye murmured the name and recalled the real name of the "Witch Black Rose" he had just seen. Soon, he raised his eyebrows slightly, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Although it sounds absurd, the real names of the "Magical Girl Silver Robe" who died a few years ago and the current "Witch Black Rose" are...

same.

"Knew it……"

Ke Mingye muttered to himself as he put his phone in his pocket and boarded the elevator home.

There could not be such a coincidence in the world, so Ke Mingye could conclude that the witch Black Rose... was the magical girl Silver Robe who died at the hands of the Ghost Hand Buddha.

"No wonder she said she was a ghost. The information panel also said she was a friend of the magical girl Ash, but my sister's only friends were those two contract-type magical girls who died at the hands of the Ghost Hand Buddha. Who else could it be..."

Thinking this, Ke Mingye let out a long sigh and looked up from his bangs at the elevator notice board. The number "12" on the electronic notice board lit up, and the elevator doors slowly opened.

As soon as he stepped out of the elevator and into the hallway, his steps faltered slightly. Looking up, he saw Ke Xiaomo leaning against the wall at the entrance of the hallway, arms crossed, eyes closed, quietly waiting for him.

After a while, the elevator doors closed and ascended, and the light emanating from inside the elevator disappeared, plunging the stairwell into complete darkness.

The next moment, the light bulb above his head lit up, dispelling the darkness and casting a pale light on Ke Mingye's face.

In the flickering light, Ke Xiaomo slowly opened her eyes, turned her face to look at him, her gaze as cold as a knife.
