Zongman: The post-2D era

Feng Feng's heart sank. His eyes stayed on Hoshino Yui's cheerful figure for a moment, then slowly moved to the magic wand she was waving in her hand.

The magic wand shone with mysterious light in the sun, as if carrying some unspeakable power. He clearly felt that the power was similar to the power of the Origin Egg described by Yukino Yukinoshita.

He sighed softly, with a complex emotion in his heart. He knew that both Hoshino Ai and himself were in a huge mystery.

This mystery is full of dangers and endless possibilities. At this moment, he is more deeply aware that the countdown of Yumi Hoshino's life has begun.

In the world of Madoka Magica, magical girls don't live long and will eventually turn into monstrous witches!

Chapter 648: Hoshino Yumi's Spiritual Core

Tuesday, April 11

Feng Feng stood up and walked towards the park's exit. The sunlight shone through the gaps between the leaves, casting mottled shadows on him.

He felt his steps become lighter, as if he had unloaded all his burdens. He walked out of the park and came to the school playground.

On the playground, students were running or playing ball, full of energy and youth. Feng Feng looked around, and his eyes finally fell on a big tree in the corner of the playground.

Feng Feng's heart was beating violently in his chest, and every step he took seemed to carry thousands of words as he walked towards the big tree in the corner of the playground.

The sunlight shone obliquely, stretching his shadow long, as if foreshadowing the important moment that was about to come.

As he approached, the figure under the tree moved.

Then, a lithe girl jumped up, accompanied by a laughter like wind chimes. It was Yumiya Hoshino.

Feng Feng blinked, and the scene before him stunned him.

Yumiya Hoshino plays with the most important "spiritual core" of magical girls in the world of Puella Magi Madoka Magica like a ball.

"Feng Feng, in the setting of the world of Magical Girl Madoka Madoka, as long as the spirit core that hosts the soul is not damaged, the magical girl is invincible. Is this true?"

"Don't you think the Spirit Core and the Doomsday Egg are very similar? They are both spherical objects!"

Feng Feng's heart tensed instantly, his pupils contracted, and his body reacted faster than his mind.

He stretched out his right hand, and like catching a butterfly, he accurately caught the "spiritual core" flying in the air. The spiritual core was heavy in his hand, as if it was carrying the weight of the entire magic world.

He walked quickly forward and came in front of Yumiya Hoshino, with a look of blame and helplessness in his eyes.

He gently raised his hand and tapped her forehead with his fingertips. He looked at the spirit core in the sky with a Feng Feng tone and asked with deep eyes, "Now that you know that your brother really destroyed a world and killed tens of millions of people, do you plan to die to atone for your sins?"

Feng Feng said with a hint of anger: "Yu Meiyi, how can you just play with something like this? If it is lost or damaged, the consequences will be disastrous."

Hoshino Yumie was startled by Fengfeng's sudden movement. She blinked and then gave an apologetic smile.

She lowered her head, clasped her hands together, and pretended to admit her mistake: "I'm sorry, Feng Feng, I know I was wrong. I just thought it was fun and didn't mean to destroy my spirit core."

Feng Feng breathed a sigh of relief, carefully placed the spirit core back into Xingye Yumi's hands, and warned her: "Don't be so careless next time. This spirit core is very important."

At this moment, a clear sound of hitting a ball broke the silence on the playground. Feng Feng turned his head and saw Yukinoshita Yukino concentrating on hitting the ball towards him on the tennis court not far away.

The tennis ball flew at an astonishing speed, heading straight for Feng Feng's head. Feng Feng's eyes flashed with surprise, but his body reacted before his mind did. He leaned slightly to the side, stretched out his right hand, and caught the tennis ball accurately.

The tennis ball seemed to become as light as a feather in his hands. He smiled and threw the ball back. The tennis ball drew a beautiful arc in the air and landed accurately in Yukinoshita Yukino's court.

Hoshino put his hands behind his back and stuck out his tongue, saying, "You are really popular. Senior Yukino's picking on others is against her life motto."

"Life should be about doing the right thing or something!"

Feng Feng smiled slightly and shook his head, indicating that he didn't care. His eyes fell back on the spirit core in Yumi Hoshino's hand, and a complex emotion surged in his heart.

This spirit core symbolizes the power and life of the magical girl, and also carries the soul of Yumiya Hoshino.

At this moment, Hoshino Yumie suddenly put her hands behind her back, stuck out her tongue mischievously, blinked at Feng Feng, and hugged Feng Feng's hand.

Her face was filled with a mischievous and playful smile, as if to say: "Look, you are really popular!"

Feng Feng was amused by her sudden action. He shook his head helplessly, but a warm feeling surged in his heart.

They walked side by side towards the nearby park, the sunlight shining through the gaps between the leaves, and mottled shadows dancing on their bodies.

Feng Feng tilted his head slightly and looked at Hoshino Yumie's profile. Her eyes were flashing with curiosity and expectation, and there was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.

The air in the park was filled with the fresh scent of grass and trees. The breeze blew and the leaves rustled, as if cheering for their arrival.

Feng Feng stopped and turned to face Hoshino Yumie, his eyes serious and gentle.

"Hearing is different from actually understanding. You can't bear the sins of your brother. The soul pollution in your soul core is irreversible."

"Within this month, you will become a witch!"

As Feng Feng finished his words, Hoshino Yui's smile froze on her face, and her eyes were full of shock and disbelief.

She tightly grasped the spirit core in her hand, as if trying to draw courage and strength from it. Her lips trembled slightly, but she could not make any sound.

Feng Feng looked at her quietly, his eyes deep and firm. He knew that his words were undoubtedly a huge blow to her, but he also believed that only in this way could she truly see the reality and face the truth.

Suddenly, a hint of determination flashed in Hoshino Yumi's eyes. She looked up at Feng Feng with a bitter smile on her lips.

She took a deep breath and spoke slowly: "I know that my brother did something wrong. He destroyed a world and killed so many people. As his sister, I cannot take the blame for him, but I cannot pretend to be ignorant. If my death can make up for something, then I am willing to..."

As soon as Yumi Hoshino finished speaking, Feng Feng's body stiffened instantly. He felt the warmth on his back, which was Yumi Hoshino's hug. Her arms were tightly around his waist, as if she wanted to merge herself into his body.

A complex emotion surged in Feng Feng's heart, including helplessness, pain, and an indescribable feeling of being moved.

He gently stretched out his hand, wanting to return the hug, but his hand stopped in mid-air. He knew he couldn't do this.

He couldn't let Yumi Hoshino make a sacrifice. He took a deep breath and tried to make his voice sound calm and firm.

"Yumi, listen, you don't have to do this. This is not your fault, and it's not your responsibility. I will find other ways, and we will definitely be able to find other solutions."

At this moment, in a corner of the playground, the figure of Yukinoshita Yukino appeared firm and resolute.

She was wearing a white tennis suit, which looked particularly dazzling in the winter sun. The white color seemed to symbolize the purity and determination in her heart.

There was a determination gleam in her eyes as she stared intently at Shizuka Hiratsuka in the distance.

"Teacher, Feng Feng is planning to mess around again. This time, I will definitely stop him."

Yukinoshita Yukino's voice was firm and powerful, and her fists were clenched, as if she was preparing for the upcoming challenge.

"Yumi Hoshino is so despicable. She threatened Feng Feng with her own life. I will never forgive her!"

Chapter 649: The God of Poverty Xiaofu

Tuesday, April 11

Feng Feng scratched his head and looked up at the sky, saying in a headache: "Yukinoshita Yukino and Hoshino Yumie are facing off!"

Whether it is Yukinoshita Yukino's persistence or Hoshino Yumie's mischief, they are an indispensable part of his life.

He took a deep breath, felt the sunshine and breeze on his face, and smiled to meet the challenges ahead.

Feng Feng coughed, breaking the brief silence. He stretched out his hand and carefully protected the heavy spirit core, as if it were a fragile and precious pearl.

"Why did Yumi Hoshino give me the spirit core?"

Feng Feng's voice echoed in the breeze, with determination and warmth.

He carefully held up Hoshino Yui's soul core in front of his eyes. The soul core was glowing softly in the sunlight, as if it possessed endless magical power.

He gently put it into his pocket and stroked the soul core with his hand, gently soothing her soul's self-destructive emotions.

"Don't worry, Yumi." Feng Feng's voice was soft but powerful. "Everything will be fine. I have found a solution. We will definitely be able to find another way out."

In the classroom not far away, Yumie Hoshino looked up at the sky, tears flashing in her eyes, but a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

In the teacher's office, Shizuka Hiratsuka looked at Yukinoshita Yukino in front of her, and a hint of admiration flashed in her eyes.

Although this girl is young, she is full of strength and courage. She sighed softly, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes.

"Xue Nao, you know Feng Feng's character. Once he makes a decision, it is difficult to change it. But I believe in you. You will definitely be able to find a way to stop him from doing this."

"Sacrificing oneself to save others is noble, but it is not right and will hurt those who care about him!"

Yukinoshita Yukino's cheeks blushed slightly and she said, "Teacher, I'm just sticking to my beliefs. The Hoshino siblings should be punished!"

“I never did anything to Feng Feng…”, Yukinoshita Yukino’s face turned as red as a pomegranate, she turned around and walked away, hair flying.

"Teacher, you should still carry out your life guidance work and catch Feng Feng and stop him from running around!"

Shizuka Hiratsuka straightened her women's suit, clapped her hands lightly, and walked out of the office.

"Today's young people!"

The sunlight shone through the window onto her body, illuminating her firm yet gentle eyes. She looked up at the sky, a smile on her lips, as if she was talking to someone far away.

"If Feng Feng doesn't want to, who can catch him?" She repeated this sentence silently in her heart, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes.

She knew Feng Feng's character. Once he made a decision, few people could change it. However, she also knew Yukinoshita Yukino's concerns and persistence, and she couldn't just sit back and watch.

She walked quickly towards the school gate, with a plan in mind. She was going to find Feng Feng and stop him from making a decision that she might regret.

No matter what the result is, she will try her best. This is Shizuka Hiratsuka's responsibility and duty as an educator.

Feng Feng frowned slightly, and an inexplicable premonition came to his mind. He turned his head, his sharp eyes penetrated the crowd, and caught the familiar figure - Teacher Shizuka Hiratsuka. Her steps were firm and powerful, and she was obviously walking towards him.

A hint of hesitation flashed through Feng Feng's mind. He knew that if he was caught by Mr. Hiratsuka, his plan would probably be ruined.

He quickly weighed the pros and cons and decided that running away was the best option. He quietly stood up, blended into the crowd, and fled towards the entrance of the academy.

He walked through the busy campus avenue, his heartbeat gradually speeding up. The students around him were talking or laughing, walking or standing, but in Feng Feng's eyes, all of this became a blurred background.

He stared at the exit in front of him, and his pace kept speeding up. Suddenly, he felt a breeze, and then a warm hand gently fell on his shoulder.

"Feng Feng, where are you going in such a hurry?"

Feng Feng's heart tightened and he stopped suddenly, but he saw a familiar and kind face - it was the God of Poverty Xiaofu, the girl who always had a warm smile.

Her pink hair shone softly in the sunlight, forming a sharp contrast with the sailor suit she was wearing. Xiaofu's eyes were full of concern and worry, and her hand gently rested on Fengfeng's shoulder, as if she could sense his inner fluctuations.

"Feng Feng, what's wrong with you? You look very nervous." Xiao Fu's voice was gentle and kind, which calmed Feng Feng's mood a little.

Feng Feng turned to look at Xiaofu, with a hint of surprise and confusion in his eyes. "Xiaofu, why are you here? Did Mr. Hiratsuka send you here?" he asked, with a hint of caution in his voice.

Xiaofu shook her head gently. She shook the barbecue skewers in her hand, and the aroma filled the air, arousing people's appetite.

"Feng Feng, this is not an order from Mr. Hiratsuka. It's my own willfulness. You know, the barbecue in front of the Freedom College is the best here. I just bought some and was planning to find a quiet place to enjoy it."

As she spoke, she raised the barbecue in her hand and showed a mischievous smile on her face. Feng Feng looked at her innocent smile, and the tension in his heart dissipated a little bit involuntarily.

Following Xiaofu's gaze, I saw smoke and fragrance rising from the stall in front of the Freedom College. It was indeed a good place for barbecue.
