160: Is Big Sister Lina a Magical Girl?
"Hoo... hoo... hoo..."
In a small corner of the Christian Orphanage's outer wall, that black-haired girl named An An sat on the ground, still in shock. She was breathing heavily, up and down, as if she had been frightened by something extremely terrifying.
"What exactly... was that..."
Recalling the scene she had accidentally witnessed just now, the girl still felt lingering fear.
This wasn't the first time she had snuck out like today. Ever since her parents were killed by demons and she was saved by Lina, who was still an Executor back then, she had kept the habit of sneaking out at midnight to admire the moon.
An An especially loved sitting under the vast night sky, bathing in moonlight while gazing at the stars and the moon. It made her feel especially at peace.
Her body type was naturally quite small and petite, so every time she snuck out, she could hide very well. Not once had she been caught by the orphanage teachers on patrol.
Very few people knew about this habit of hers, only one person: her best friend in the orphanage, Luo Xin.
She had even brought Luo Xin out a few times to play.
It was precisely because of this habit that she had hidden in a very concealed corner and witnessed the entire process when Victor was secretly taking children out for trading last time.
And this time, she had also witnessed a wondrous sight enough to shatter her entire worldview.
A massive black-red pillar of light that reached straight to the clouds, connecting heaven and earth like a pillar supporting the sky. Even from hundreds of meters away, An An could still feel the terrifying pressure emanating from that pillar of light.
It was a fearsome power that seemed as if the moment she dared to take one step closer, she would be instantly swept up in it and torn to shreds.
No... An An's life instincts told her that if she were swept up in it, let alone shreds, she probably wouldn't even leave behind ash...
Therefore, the instant she saw that pillar of light, she didn't hesitate at all to turn and run, afraid that if she ran even a step slower, she would be caught up in it and leave no remains behind.
After skillfully climbing into the orphanage courtyard in just a few steps, that sensation of death that had seemed so close instantly vanished completely. However, she still felt lingering fear from it.
Terrifying, too terrifying...
That thing seemed to still be spreading outward... would it affect the orphanage?
No! She had to tell Luo Xin and the others immediately! Otherwise everyone would die!
Perhaps because she had come into close contact with death from a young age, An An was extremely sensitive to the concept of "death." She held onto the outer wall and stood up trembling. Even though her calves were still shaking constantly from fear, even though her heart was still in a terrified state of rapid beating, she still difficultly took step after step, constantly moving toward the indoor direction.
But just then, an unexpected voice suddenly entered her ears.
"Super-Tier Magic... truly reckless..."
An An froze slightly, then subconsciously looked toward the direction the voice came from, which was above her head.
She saw that on the orphanage's rooftop, Sauron, wearing a white-gold ecclesiastical robe, was quietly standing there. An ancient tome emitting a faint golden light floated in his hand. Pure white moonlight spilled onto the golden stripes on his robe, making those stripes shine as if they were made of real gold.
The evening wind whistling across the roof blew up his robe, giving this old man over sixty years of age an air of otherworldly immortality.
"That Blood Clan little princess is one thing, but why must Jasmine join her in being reckless too?"
"Sigh... but perhaps it's for the best. The power of Death Magic suppressed that Super-Tier Magic belonging to the Blood Magic system from spreading further. Otherwise... in order to protect this place, even this old man would have to expose some things!"
Sauron sighed softly, his words full of helplessness toward those two at the center of the magical light pillar not far away.
And his words, every single one of them clearly and completely, all fell into An An's ears.
Although An An had understood since being saved by Lina from the demons that there existed certain mysteries in this world unknown to the common people, Sauron's words still brought a huge shock to An An's young heart.
Magic? Was it the kind of magic from animated shows?
Then that golden light spear Big Sister Lina used when she saved me back then, was that also a type of magic?
So Big Sister Lina is... a magical girl?
Little An An didn't quite understand, but she was greatly shocked.
Just then, Sauron on the roof suddenly jumped down from above and arrived at the orphanage's central courtyard. Several mysterious figures wearing black robes also suddenly appeared behind him at this moment.
"My lord... should tonight's experiment... continue?"
"Continue. The Watchers and the others from the Church have already had their attention drawn away by those two Super-Tier Magics. Although the distance is a bit close... but as the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place. The experiment is about to be completed. We cannot have any mishaps at this point in time."
"Yes."
Sauron waved his hand. The black-robed figures behind him immediately knelt on one knee with respect. After solemnly bowing to Sauron, they quickly ran toward the direction below the clock tower on the northeast side of the orphanage.
As for Sauron himself, he unhurriedly followed behind those black-robed figures.
At the same time, in a small corner they didn't notice, a small black head had already taken everything in.
"What is the new Director... saying to those black-robed strange uncles?"
An An's expression was clearly tense. She had an impression of those black-robed people.
Back then, the ones trading children with Victor were exactly those black-robed people!
"Could it be... the new Director... is also a bad person?"
An An was practically numb. They had finally brought down one Victor with the help of Big Sister Evelia and Big Sister Lina. How did another bad person come to be the director?
Are there really that many bad people in this world?
"What should I do... should I... follow and see?"
An An hesitated. After personally witnessing the existence of magic, she had completely lost confidence in her evasion skills that she had originally been proud of. She wasn't sure if going this time would be like walking into a trap. After all, Evelia had instructed her before leaving today that if anything seemed off, she absolutely shouldn't go alone. She must find a way to notify her first.
"...No! I still want to know what the Director and the others are doing!"
Amidst intense internal struggle, the innocence of a child ultimately won out. An An shook her head and made her decision.
"But before that, I need to take some precautions..."
An An thought for a moment, casually picked up a small stone with a sharp front, and forcefully scratched a large character "An" onto the clean white paint of the orphanage's outer wall behind her.
