Chapter 17: The Witch Arrives! Is My Sister My Biggest Enemy?
Bai Wanting stood alone in the empty entryway, her icy expression a stark contrast to the tender warmth she’d shown moments ago.
She meticulously reviewed the information Lin Qingya had revealed under hypnosis the previous night, realizing how utterly irrational this magical girl mission was.
Lin Qingya’s social anxiety, induced by Bai Wanting’s hypnotic suggestions, had driven her to isolate herself in a remote corner of the construction site, hauling cement—where she stumbled upon the grisly fragments hidden in the materials.
If she hadn’t caught that whiff of blood or possessed her “Phase Shift” ability to bypass physical barriers, what would have happened?
The victim, brutally dismembered, would have been unknowingly sealed into the park’s foundation by the magical girls themselves, forever entombed in cement and steel, never to see the light of day.
These guardians of “love and justice” believed they were merely helping expedite the park’s construction.
In reality, they were aiding a murderer, burying a heinous crime.
They’d become unwitting accomplices to a gruesome murder!
In this light, the magical girls’ mission… could it be seen as facilitating a cover-up?
How ironic.
Bai Wanting sneered inwardly.
Guardians of love and justice? What a joke.
They were nothing but pawns, blind to the truth, manipulated by some higher-dimensional entity.
Whatever that mastermind was, it made a grave mistake targeting her Qingya.
Dare to use my little darling? Even if you’re a god, I’ll rip your halo off and crush you.
Her fingers lightly tapped the sofa’s armrest as a plan rapidly took shape in her mind.
What if she destroyed the park now?
If the construction site was wrecked and the project halted, the commotion would surely draw police attention.
The hidden remains would likely be uncovered, providing critical clues for the investigation.
It’d be a small favor to the police, for Qingya’s sake.
More importantly, sabotaging city infrastructure was an unforgivable “evil act” in the magical girls’ creed.
That lofty “mission issuer” would undoubtedly order them to hunt her down.
Then, she could rightfully confront Lin Qingya’s magical girl teammates.
A triple win—why not?
With her decision made, Bai Wanting didn’t hesitate.
She closed her eyes, and a faint, ominous purple glow enveloped her.
The light wasn’t blinding but carried an eerie, regal menace.
When it faded, she had transformed.
Her casual clothes were gone, replaced by a seductive, purple-black witch’s attire.
A tight black leather top hugged her perfect curves, adorned with delicate purple lace at the collar and cuffs, adding a touch of otherworldly elegance.
Her skirt, shimmering with tiny dark crystals, flowed around her, while her long, pale legs were wrapped in thigh-high black stockings, paired with purple high-heeled ankle boots.
Her hair, once soft black, was now a deep, lustrous purple-black, gleaming seductively in the dim light.
Her eyes, usually soft and affectionate with Lin Qingya, now glowed a bewitching violet, radiating a soul-stealing allure.
She looked like a figure from a dark fairy tale—an elegant, captivating, and dangerously powerful witch.
This was her true self.
Unlike Lin Qingya, she didn’t need to recite cringe-worthy transformation phrases.
Switching forms was a mere thought for her.
She wasn’t a “magical girl.”
She was their nemesis, a destroyer of order, a “witch” in their eyes.
The very entity their contracts demanded they hunt and destroy.
Bai Wanting glanced at Lin Qingya’s closed bedroom door.
Her little darling was probably still clutching her undergarment, lost in the sweet dream she’d woven, unable to break free.
If Qingya knew that her beloved, trusted, forever-wanted Little Sister Bai was the witch her magical girl duty demanded she defeat…
What expression would she wear?
Shock? Fear? Disbelief? Or complete chaos and despair?
No matter her reaction, the outcome would be the same.
She’d be fully controlled, wholly possessed, molded body and soul to belong solely to Bai Wanting, her exclusive captive.
Bai Wanting was already gleefully imagining her pure, adorable Qingya falling step by step under her guidance, becoming a little demon who lived only to please her, begging for her domination.
Hah, just thinking about it was thrilling.
She licked her dry lips, a sick, satisfied smile spreading across her face.
Then, her figure flickered and vanished silently from the room.
…
In Lin Qingya’s bedroom.
Unaware of her beloved Little Sister Bai’s actions, Lin Qingya lay obediently on her bed, clutching the lace undergarment she’d “stolen” from Bai Wanting.
She buried her face in the soft fabric, inhaling deeply, her cheeks flushed with infatuation.
That unique scent—Little Sister Bai’s—was her source of bliss, consuming her entirely.
Her mind was blank, needing no thoughts.
Just breathing in Little Sister Bai’s scent was enough.
So happy… so safe…
She’d fully memorized the scent, as the hypnotic command dictated, utterly addicted.
As she sank into this sweet dream, teetering on the edge of deep sleep—
Beep beep!
A sharp, burning pain shot through the white cat-ear transformation device on her head!
“Ow!”
Lin Qingya gasped, her eyes snapping open in confusion.
Before she could process what was happening, a cold, mechanical voice echoed in her mind.
It was the magical girl transformation device issuing a mission.
[Warning! Critical Emergency Mission: Eliminate the witch destroying West City Wetland Park!]
A witch?
Destroying… the wetland park?
Lin Qingya’s mind was still foggy.
Instinctively, she hugged the “sacred” garment tighter, taking another deep breath.
The scent calmed her chaotic thoughts slightly, but the mission details flooded in.
[Mission Objective: Proceed immediately to the wetland park and join other magical girls to defeat the evil witch causing severe damage to city infrastructure!]
[Mission Duration: Until the witch is successfully eliminated.]
[Warning: This mission is of the highest priority. Its outcome will directly impact future mission evaluations. Failure will result in the loss of all previously completed mission credits!]
