Heaven and earth can bear witness.
With the [Kaxiu]organization above him, Fang Wei had never used a hypnosis app on any magical girl.
Xia Yuanhua was another matter entirely—Qi Qian Cao was completely lost in her own world of self-induced delusion.
In fact, Fang Wei had even asked Minzi whether this could count as a successful hypnosis in some sense, but unfortunately, the human-machine system gave no such hint.
If it were the past, Fang Wei might have argued with Minzi.
Now, he didn’t even believe this repressed woman was a magical girl.
They had just left the classroom holding hands when Qi Qian Cao shamelessly hugged him and pinned him against the wall, rubbing against him with abandon.
If not for the belief that magical girls were embodiments of justice (debatable), Fang Wei would have thought Qi Qian Cao was after his kidneys or had some disease that made her want to take revenge on society.
But in reality, she looked more like someone who had eaten too much rice and started hallucinating.
She fantasized that the two had been dating for a long time, so they could openly be sweet and loving, all while belittling other couples to emphasize how unique they were.
She murmured unintelligible words, expressing her deep love for him, her eyes filled with dependence.
Fang Wei mourned for himself in his heart.
He didn’t dare interrupt Qi Qian Cao’s fantasy, afraid of a repeat of yesterday’s incident.
“By the way, is your hand okay?”
“Are you worried about me again?”
Qi Qian Cao replied with a question, then hugged him tightly.
“You care about me again, right? I knew it—yesterday was a test from you!”
Qi Qian Cao raised her head, staring at him with clear and pure eyes.
“I passed the test, didn’t I?”
How was he supposed to answer that?
She had twisted his hurtful words from yesterday into a ‘test of love,’ and looked even more obsessive than before.
Those eyes—they were eyes desperately seeking something.
Fang Wei had no doubt that if he said the wrong thing, Qi Qian Cao would drag him down with her on the spot.
He could only brace himself.
“Um, you… I guess you passed…”
“Then… will you love me more?”
“I suppose I will…”
“Then I’ll love you more, too.”
Such a passionate confession caught Fang Wei off guard.
His chest felt like it had been pricked with a needle—not moved, but a mix of unknown fear and regret.
He responded softly, trying to calm this cat-like Qi Qian Cao.
Secretly, he observed her hand.
It seemed she had used magic to heal it—yes, patching up any ‘flaws’ in her fantasy was common behavior for someone with delusions.
Holding such a soft little creature, it would be a lie to say he felt nothing.
But Fang Wei didn’t dare make any big moves; otherwise, who knew what extreme thing Qi Qian Cao might do next.
She kept repeating words like ‘love’ in her mouth.
It was just after class, and many passing students and teachers witnessed the scene.
In broad daylight, showing affection in the corridor—it was so mushy that even Fang Wei couldn’t stand it.
The embarrassment wasn’t the issue; he was mainly afraid Xia Yuanhua would see.
He pulled the girl away from his embrace.
“I just came to check your hand. If it’s fine, that’s good. You have class soon, go back.”
“Mm-mm, Boyfriend-kun has class this afternoon, too, but you still came to see me. I’m touched.”
“I was just worried about you… Wait…”
Fang Wei’s mosquito senses tingled.
“How do you know I have class this afternoon? I don’t even know.”
“Of course I know.”
Qi Qian Cao took out her phone, the wallpaper showing a photo of Fang Wei taken yesterday.
She stifled her shyness and began to giggle, as if showing off.
She opened several must-have apps for college students in succession—all logged in as Fang Wei.
“Consider it a little surprise. From now on, I’ll handle your campus runs, check-ins, and all sorts of activities, Boyfriend-kun. Unfortunately, I haven’t logged into your qq or WeChat yet. Those two are really troublesome.”
College students’ essential apps usually logged in with a student number and the last few digits of an ID.
Fang Wei remembered Qi Qian Cao had once asked for his student ID.
But how did she know his password?
His mind felt ready to explode.
He imagined a scenario in the dead of night, with Qi Qian Cao grinning eerily as she tried different passwords, inputting his ID number digit by digit.
Cold sweat broke out on his back.
Qi Qian Cao tiptoed up, smiling sweetly.
“Boyfriend-kun, aren’t you going to praise me? It took me ages to log in, you know. Look, I even helped with your campus run. Sadly, I don’t know where you live yet, or I could bring you breakfast every day.”
She cupped her pink cheeks, the happiness of a young girl nearly overflowing.
“But I’ll know soon~”
“So Boyfriend-kun, no matter what tests you give me, I’ll pass. I’ll prove my love for you…”
For a moment, Fang Wei wondered if worrying about Qi Qian Cao was a mistake.
Erotomania was essentially a mental problem.
Qi Qian Cao had never considered his feelings; she was simply constructing a false relationship through self-distorted means—a kind of ‘self-value compensation.’
In other words, she was obsessed with herself.
Yesterday, she unilaterally decided to date him.
Today, she unilaterally hacked his account.
Tomorrow, would she just drug him unconscious?
“Um… Miss Magical Girl, logging into my account without permission is troubling. I thought I’d been hacked.”
He tried to reason with Qi Qian Cao in a roundabout way.
But Qi Qian Cao’s smile gradually turned calm, as if discussing a daily matter.
“Boyfriend-kun is so forgetful. Didn’t you give me the account yourself?”
Her expression was so calm, her words so certain, her tone as if discussing trivial everyday matters.
It made Fang Wei’s skin crawl.
Without giving him a chance to object, Qi Qian Cao held his face in her hands, her palms still warm from her cheeks.
She wore a determined look.
“Don’t mind such small things, okay? Boyfriend-kun, just tell me—our meeting was destined, right?”
No.
It was me, damn it, plotting to die, and you, using every twisted trick to force it!
“Mm, yes, it was destiny.”
He stroked the girl’s hair.
In the gaze of emptiness, Qi Qian Cao’s corruption value surged, reaching a range he’d never seen.
[Corruption Value -10]
Receiving such a certain answer from Boyfriend-kun, she seemed truly happy.
She said this world was a grand stage, and their love was like fate itself…
The words were so heavy, they weighed down on Fang Wei’s chest.
He couldn’t remember what Qi Qian Cao said after that.
The girl snuggled against his chest, then shyly ran back to her class.
Her corruption value disappeared into the corner along with her.
[Qi Qian Cao]
[Age: 19]
[Magical Girl Level: Lv5]
[Corruption Value: 58%]
[Corruption value detected below 60%]
[Detection progress updated!]
[This system is designed to help the host hypnotize all magical girls. Progress reward granted. Congratulations to the host, keep up the good work!]
Minzi’s notification sounded again.
Before Fang Wei could react, a cute little head peeked out from the back of the classroom.
Qi Qian Cao, oh Qi Qian Cao, even as she left, she looked so reluctant.
She twirled her hair with her finger, a strange smile on her lips, her eyes full of him, lost in a dream.
—
When leaving the Dormitory, Fang Wei bought a can of Magic Claw from the Vending Machine.
Now, whenever he saw the stuff, he thought of Qi Qian Cao, and immediately her ‘favorite crazy fantasies’ and those tender eyes came to mind.
Not that he didn’t believe in love at first sight or being attracted by looks, but Qi Qian Cao was clearly not that type.
She had a mental health problem—even more serious than depression—and Fang Wei had simply become her ‘object of delusion.’
As she said herself, certain cadres are special.
For this type of illness, the object of fantasy is often a stranger, someone special.
He shook his head, deciding not to think about Qi Qian Cao for the moment.
If this made her happy and reduced her self-harm, then so be it for now.
What mattered more now was checking Qi Qian Cao’s Progress Reward!
[Progress Reward: (Fragile) Dream Nail, Communion*3, Fifty Thousand Yuan, Nun Outfit (Uncensored Version)*1]
“???”
Let’s put aside the small change for now—why is the most important reward sandwiched in the middle?
Minzi, don’t you think rewarding a split-to-the-waist white-silk nun outfit is a bit perverted?
Who is this for?
Answer me, Look in my eyes!
[……]
Fine.
Fang Wei understood—this system made of code always handed out random rewards.
Just like the previous two quest items—other than the Undying Totem and Time Camera, were the other two useful?
“Minzi, let me ask—if Qi Qian Cao’s corruption value rises again and I lower it, will I get another reward?”
[……]
There was no answer, but he felt a wave of contempt.
Fang Wei stopped joking with the human-machine system and turned to the top reward.
“What is this Dream Nail? And it’s specifically labeled as fragile.”
Unlike other rewards, only the Dream Nail lacked a ‘*’ indicating quantity or usage.
Fang Wei didn’t expect an answer from the system.
Just as he was about to close the panel, a term unexpectedly floated into view.
[(Fragile) Dream Nail]
[Magic Level: LV1, 0/100]
[Usage: 3 times, refreshes at midnight]
[Description: Captures fleeting and transient thoughts with magic. Reality is the end of a dream; a dream is the continuation of reality.]
[Notes: Seeking something to rely on is not a fault. I knew there was a love in this world for me (?) and a love-at-first-sight with you (?).]
[Remarks: Fang Wei exclusive item, cannot be transferred]
Wait, I was just kidding.
Minzi, did you actually give me a mind-reading skill?
