PNB Chapter 12 The Chase
Chapter 12 The Chase
Her waist-length purple hair billowed in the night wind, and she wore a dress that combined elements of a white academic gown and purple Lolita style, with dark ribbons binding the neckline and cuffs.
The crescent moon took a step back.
She recognized the person who came.
One of the four Heavenly Kings of "Where the Stars Are", magical girl Basil.
It may not be the strongest, but it is still quite troublesome.
The fact that this guy is here means that their escape plan has been exposed.
The crescent moon's arms tightened involuntarily.
In her arms, Su Chenjin also reached out and hugged Hu Yue's neck.
Oops……
Is Basil going to spout nonsense or something?!
This girl has always had a peculiar focus and does things that others find hard to understand, but she takes for granted.
Most importantly... I haven't talked to her about it yet.
In fact, Cheng Qi had considered telling others about his undercover work. However, Zhang Menglin objected—
"Commander, shouldn't this be kept secret? If 'Himetoku Four' finds out, do you think they'll let you stay by Arc Moon's side?"
Therefore, only Zhang Menglin knows that she has become a blue-haired girl.
From Basil's perspective, the whole story should be like this: a strange blue-haired stranger suddenly appeared in the base, and then this stranger did something and released the imprisoned Crescent Moon.
More importantly, if Basil were here, wouldn't she stop Crescent Moon from escaping?
That means... a battle is inevitable.
...Damn it, I went through so much trouble to infiltrate Arc Moon's side, and now this has to happen!
At the same time, Basil's gaze also fell on the blue-clad girl in Arc Moon's arms.
"..."
Basil tilted her head slightly.
She recognized the blue-haired girl.
Around dusk, the blue-haired girl was still talking to Dr. Zhang Menglin in the base's reception room.
But now, she is in Arc Moon's arms.
interesting.
Basil smiled slightly.
However, in the eyes of the crescent moon, this smile had another meaning.
Basil must have witnessed Su Chenjin's betrayal of "Where the Stars Are" and was already harboring murderous intent!
Thinking of this, Arc Moon secretly vowed in his heart that he must protect the girl in his arms.
She quickly devised a plan in her mind.
In a one-on-one situation, she is confident that she can defeat Basil, given her strength.
The problem is that she's carrying someone in her arms. Of course, the weight of one person isn't a burden for a magical girl. It's just that having someone in her arms restricts her movements during battle, greatly limiting her mobility.
Moreover, this place is now outside the "Star's Location" base.
Basil only needs to hold her off for a short while, and the other three magical girls will arrive in droves. Then, facing four opponents alone, she'll be doomed again.
Therefore, direct confrontation is the worst strategy.
There is only one optimal solution.
You give me a pass~
"Su Chenjin, hold on tight to me!"
Suddenly, Arc Moon turned around and shot off like an arrow, hurtling away from the base.
Su Chenjin, who was in his arms, did not expect the sudden acceleration and her head bumped directly into Hu Yue's chest.
The loud impact made Su Chenjin feel her head buzzing.
Damn... how come this guy has absolutely no breasts?! They're as hard as steel plates.
"Hey! Don't run away!"
Basil's voice came from behind.
The crescent moon couldn't possibly stop. They weren't far enough apart yet for Basil to activate her Wonderland, meaning the opponent couldn't drag the battle into a rule-based fight.
So when he flew back to the city, Basil would naturally be wary of the support from the other magical girls and would have no choice but to go back.
Basil naturally thought of this as well.
So she waved her hand, and a dark purple magic circle condensed at her fingertips. After the magic circle spun rapidly half a circle, several thick purple beams shot out from it, forming a large net as they crisscrossed and rushed straight towards the crescent moon.
Arc Moon quickly realized the spell cast by Basil. Her body suddenly flipped sideways in mid-air, passing between the two intersecting beams of light.
A purple beam of light swept past her less than half a meter away, the scorching air it generated brushing against Su Chenjin's cheek.
The blue-haired girl nervously buried her face in the crescent moon's chest. However, the crescent moon's chest remained perfectly still, which made her feel no comfort whatsoever.
The crescent moon swooped down from the sky and disappeared into the city's buildings, the towering skyscrapers rushing past on both sides of the field of vision.
Basil followed closely behind. Both were of the Flower rank, but her basic flying skills were clearly inferior to Crescent Moon's.
As time went on, the distance between the two was gradually widening.
"cut……"
In this situation, basil doesn't really have any particularly good solutions.
My own magical equipment doesn't offer much help in the pursuit, and the distance to the Wonderland is too far.
While expanding rapidly can significantly increase speed, if you accelerate using expanding rapidly, the crescent moon will also expand rapidly. According to relativity, if everyone accelerates, it's equivalent to neither of them accelerating...
Seeing that it was impossible to catch up with the other party, Basil simply slowed down his flight speed and watched helplessly as the black afterimage disappeared into the night.
This place... is too far from the base. Without the support of other magical girls, continuing to pursue them might only lead to falling into a trap.
Of course, this is only the surface reason.
Having just escaped from the base, Arc Moon is unlikely to be able to create any decent traps.
As for the other magical girl companions of Arc Moon... they are a bunch of novices who haven't even reached the Rei level yet, and are not worth worrying about at all.
In fact, the blue-haired girl attracted her attention even more.
"The mysterious girl who appeared in the base..."
The girl was dressed as a maid at the time. Was she a newly recruited servant to serve the commander?
Or perhaps... they have a more complex and intertwined relationship? Maybe we should confront the commander ourselves?
No, if that blue-haired girl is the leader's secret lover or something, that would only alert him.
Since Zhang Menglin had spoken with that girl, it meant she must know something. But knowing that girl's personality, she would definitely keep this a secret.
Perhaps I can use that blue-haired girl as a starting point?
Basil suddenly had a wonderful idea.
She's just an ordinary person, and Arc Moon can't protect her forever. When the time comes, all we need to do is bring her back...
Basil's smile grew more and more pronounced.
She became increasingly satisfied with her plan—
Dr. Zhang... developed a brainwashing machine, didn't he?
