At this moment, the slightly crowded and noisy street was filled with fans of 【Eternal Star】.
Many fans holding support signs and wearing cosplay outfits had expressions of confusion and helplessness on their faces.
Staff from the Logistics Department were maintaining order and verifying identities.
After all, it was inexplicable to have the event suddenly surrounded and cleared by the Association, especially when the Magical Girls of the Association all had serious expressions.
There were also many people pointing at the [Silverflame Dragon Princess] not far away, who was holding a heavy sword, guessing what had happened.
“But even if something happened, it shouldn’t be dangerous, right? After all, wasn’t 【Eternal Star】 present?”
The Association’s Magical Girls had already cleared the entire livehouse and checked the backstage and other areas. Qingluan was among them.
When the Association was clearing the area, although she knew nothing, she felt this was a very important operation.
Maybe she could learn some first-hand information, so she took the opportunity to join in.
When Qingluan followed other A-rank Magical Girls and pushed open the door of the Rest Room, she happened to encounter Xiaoxi and the others who had appeared in the rest room after the space magic shattered.
When Sirius’s fist smashed over and Jingtong shattered at a touch, Xiaoxi sensed something was wrong.
The two people in the Mirror Space were too weak. They should be just clones or something.
Was it a Golden Cicada Shell trick when they were sent into the space magic?
After escaping from the Mirror Space, facing Xiao Keke who happily rushed over, Xiaoxi gave her a heavy chop on the forehead.
“This operation only allows Magical Girls of A-rank and above to participate. Who allowed you to sneak into this operation? And you infiltrated so deep, how dangerous!”
Xiao Keke, who had just executed a perfect cooperation with her older sister, let out a “wu” sound and spoke half-confused, half-aggrieved.
“What are you talking about, Sis? I came to attend the 【Eternal Star】 fan club!”
This time it was Xiaoxi’s turn to be stunned. She suddenly remembered that Keke had mentioned this to her a few days ago.
“Originally I came to the backstage to give a gift to Senior 【Eternal Star】, but as soon as I entered, I realized she was off!”
“How did you find out?” Xiaoxi subconsciously asked. After all, even Ye Xinglan didn’t see that Eternal Star was a fake. Xiao Keke could tell at a glance.
“When I came in, that fake was signing autographs. The handwriting was obviously wrong! Unfortunately, before I could do anything, I was ambushed and knocked out. When I opened my eyes again, I saw you guys, Sis!”
…Well, Xiaoxi had to admit that when it came to being a fan of Eternal Star, her little sister was the true veteran. And she really had misunderstood Keke. Without Keke secretly transforming and escaping, she might not have discovered so quickly that those two were fakes.
Tsk, no, come to think of it… So her little sister was also the group owner of the Eternal Star fan group?
While Xiaoxi was apologizing to her little sister, Ye Xinglan was untying the hostage.
Da Tianxin was twisting violently on the ground like a fish, until the cloth stuffed in her mouth was removed.
“Holy crap, Xinglan, you you you you…”
“You what you, don’t move! What if I accidentally cut you?”
But Da Tianxin obviously didn’t listen. No choice, Ye Xinglan had to put away her scythe, cancel her transformation, and start untying the ropes herself.
Da Tianxin’s brain was a bit frozen. What could be more shocking than suddenly discovering that your friend is the Blood Moon Witch?
For example, maybe Xiaoxi is also some famous Magical Girl… But that’s probably impossible.
So that means the CP she loved to ship was just a fantasy shattered!
Wuwu… No, thinking about it now, she had always been commenting in front of Xinglan about how high her fandom power was for Eternal Star.
That was pretty reckless, huh… Speaking of which, could she go and brag that she had provoked the Blood Moon Witch many times and still come out unscathed?
You could only say that Da Tianxin was true to form—the first thing she thought of at such a time was the CP she shipped.
At this moment, the door of the Rest Room was pushed open, and Qingluan happened to see the Blood Moon Witch canceling her transformation.
“Wait, Ye Xinglan is actually the Blood Moon Witch?!” She froze for a moment, and then finally realized why Mo Lan’er was so nice to Ye Xinglan.
So the person she had always disliked… was actually the Blood Moon Witch’s girlfriend?
Cold sweat broke out on Qingluan’s forehead, and she immediately felt some regret.
At this time, Xiaoxi had already finished confirming the current situation with the Astrologer.
“Didn’t find the Third Divine Envoy and Jingtong? It seems they really did use the Golden Cicada Shell to escape…”
Xiaoxi rubbed her brow, and that uneasy feeling surged again.
The Divine Summon Order had always been cunning rats with multiple escape routes, but Xiaoxi felt they retreated too quickly.
The Divine Summon Order had been plotting for Ye Xinglan for so long, yet on the day of the fan club, they didn’t even dare to fight at full strength and just retreated so simply?
And honestly, if it hadn’t been for Xiao Keke as a variable, considering the hostages, they might not have dared to act rashly.
Who knows how long they would have been delayed by the two clones in the Mirror Space?
Although it made sense that the Divine Summon Order used this trick to buy time for their escape, but… but she felt it was more like they were deliberately trying to stall them here.
A flash of inspiration, and Xiaoxi suddenly realized something at that moment.
“Madam Astrologer! Are there still Association Magical Girls providing reinforcements and stationed at Tianqi Church?”
“They’ve all been transferred. Now the senior Magical Girls of the North Flower City Association, plus the [Silverflame Dragon Princess], are all here… I’ll contact the Archbishop now.”
The Astrologer also immediately thought of the same thing as Xiaoxi—they might have fallen for the Divine Summon Order’s ‘Lure the Tiger out of the Mountain’ strategy!
No wonder the Divine Summon Order’s target suddenly shifted from the Church to Ye Xinglan.
No wonder the Third Divine Envoy retreated so quickly today. If the purpose of all these actions was to feint east and attack west, then everything made sense!
“Eh? What’s suddenly wrong, Sis?”
Ignoring Da Tianxin who was still not untied, Xiaoxi grabbed Ye Xinglan and ran outside. The confused Xiao Keke subconsciously followed.
Pushing open the main door, the noisy chatter of fans on the street immediately flooded in. The group spotted the Silverflame Dragon Princess waiting outside.
“Madam Astrologer told us to rush to Tianqi Church now. What happened?”
“We’ll talk on the way!”
Xiaoxi subconsciously glanced at Silver Bell. Strictly speaking, until they had fully investigated Silver Bell, they should assign her to fewer missions.
But now it was an emergency concerning the Divine Summon Order, and Silver Bell was also the Guardian of North Flower City. They couldn’t worry about that anymore.
“Xiaoxi… A weak voice came from behind. “About what just happened…”
“…Sorry, Xinglan. When this is over, I’ll definitely explain everything to you. For now, let’s deal with the Church’s matter first.”
Xiaoxi opened her mouth, but in the end, she said nothing. At a time like this, it certainly wasn’t suitable to confess.
“Xinglan, just trust me this once, okay?”
