Chapter 704 A Long-Awaited Reunion
Chapter 704 A Long-Awaited Reunion
The lilac's sword points at each other.
The two Lilacs were completely identical in terms of their attire, weapons, and even subtle expressions. The magical energy emanating from them also made it impossible to distinguish which one was the real Lilac.
Hyacinth stood in the middle, unsure of what to do. She looked left and right, shifting her gaze back and forth between the two predecessors who were exactly the same in appearance and magic, trying to find any possible subtle differences between them.
No matter how hard he looked, he couldn't tell the difference between the two—they were so alike, they were completely the same person.
"...Ha, I've encountered things that can imitate me more than once."
The lilac on the left, which had been escorting the hyacinths all the way, spoke up, grinning coldly.
"But you are definitely the one who imitated it the most accurately. Every detail is so perfect. It must have taken you a lot of effort."
"What nonsense are you talking about? You're such a copycat, you even have to learn my lines. You're really pathetic."
The lilac that had just emerged from the crack on the right responded with a mocking chuckle.
The two were even similar in their verbal aggression and tone, leaving Hyacinth and the others on the other end of the video call staring blankly, unsure of what to do next.
"Can you tell which one is the real Lilac?" Hyacinth asked through the Divine Stone Communication while raising her shield to protect the innocent civilian girl behind her.
There was a long silence in the communications.
Whether it was Heart Moon Fox, Nightingale, or even the Cheshire Rabbit and Hellcat who joined in, everyone crowded around the video call to carefully examine them, but no one dared to give a definite answer.
Cheshire Rabbit, in particular, repeatedly zoomed in and out of the video footage, examining it from macro to micro perspectives, comparing it from both sides, and finally shook her head helplessly.
Even the rabbit couldn't recognize it? This surprised Su Tianqing quite a bit.
Rabbit is the number one encyclopedia of magical girls under her command. If even she can't tell the difference between the two, then no one else will be able to tell them apart.
"...Theoretically speaking, the lilac that entered the other dimension through the rift is the real one."
Xin Yuehu muttered to herself, stroking her chin.
"I just found a way to that other dimension. Lilac followed the plan I gave her and went to find the rift. Theoretically, she should have entered the other dimension through the rift, instead of appearing at the scene to rescue Hyacinth at the same time I told her."
The iris, who was listening in, couldn't help but recall what had just happened:
After watching the video and learning its source from Nightingale, the golden fox immediately looked down and searched the map. It then had Qiyun, who was waiting nearby, contact Lilac and asked her to follow its instructions to "enter another dimension".
No one knows how she found out how to enter the other dimension, but she has no other choice now. Lilac doesn't mind investigating whether there is an entrance herself, which is why the current standoff between Lilac and others is unfolding.
After hearing the deduction from Xin Yuehu, Hyacinth tentatively asked the lilac on the other side of the crevice:
"Senior Lilac, you...did you just come in from the rift to provide support?"
"That's right, Xin Yuehu told me about the possible entrance, and I followed her instructions all the way here, and sure enough, I found this rift." Zidingxiang nodded in response, her gaze still fixed on another Zidingxiang.
"I didn't expect to run into such a copycat as soon as I came in. You have to admit, he's quite good at it."
"Hehe, what are you saying? I wonder who's the real copycat here. Look at your mouth, it's like a mynah bird's, you can't even speak your own words properly."
The mutual taunts continued, and the tone of their words had become quite heated.
"Hyacinth, we need to get the civilians out of here as soon as possible. We have to be quick; we need to evacuate before the rift closes," said Lilac on the right.
"Don't listen to her. Anything that crawls out of a spatial rift is definitely not a good thing. It might just be a dangerous remnant left behind by that jellyfish," the lilac on the left warned.
A brief silence.
"You're trying every possible way to prevent us from leaving; your ill intentions are practically overflowing."
"So you think it's kind of you to crawl out of the spatial rift? Don't make me laugh."
"I found this exit by following Xinyuehu's guidance. You clearly didn't understand what I was saying at all."
"What 'Heart Moon Fox' and 'Sun Fox'? This copycat has lost all basic logic again. At least come up with a name that everyone has heard of."
"..."
"..."
Both frowned, their magical energy spreading out. Theoretically, when two streams of magic collide violently, they should produce sparks of magical energy.
However, within the magical vision of Hyacinth and Divine Stone, the magic released by the two people in front of them mixed together in the air, like two streams of water meeting in a bathtub, instantly converging into a single cloud of magic that spread out in the air.
This startled the two lilacs, and they looked at each other with strange scrutiny.
Every magical girl's magical characteristics are unique—especially for orthodox magical girls who are watched over by stargazers and star gods, whose magical characteristics are closely related to the characteristics of star gods and are almost impossible to fake.
If two streams of magic can easily merge into one without any hindrance, it means that these two streams of magic were originally released by the same person, but for some reason they appeared in two different locations at the same time.
"Even magic can be imitated... I've never heard of such a thing..." exclaimed the lilac that was escorting the hyacinth on the left.
"Yes...it blends so perfectly with my magic..." said the lilac on the right, who was about to leave through the crack with the hyacinth.
"—Who exactly are you?"
The two spoke in unison, once again posing the same probing question they had asked each other when they first met.
The lilac on the left could hardly contain her desire to find out the truth. She drew her sword into an offensive stance, gathering sword energy, ready to attack the "imposter" in front of her at any moment.
The opponent was equally aggressive, adopting the same offensive stance with sharp eyes.
Just as the two were about to clash and engage in a seemingly evenly matched battle, a soft voice suddenly rang out above everyone's heads:
"Let them go, Little Purple."
"!!"
The lilac bush in front of the crack seemed to be struck by lightning, and quickly looked up at the source of the sound.
Hyacinth was also drawn to the call, looking up at the girl's figure slowly descending from the sky, her mouth opening wider and wider, her chin almost touching her toes.
The camera on the Divine Stone pointed to the sky, and everyone held their breath, unable to believe that the familiar yet unfamiliar girl was actually standing before them.
Especially Hyacinth, when she learned that this city was actually Chengdu from decades ago, and when she saw Bai Lili's beautiful figure on her debut poster, she imagined such an incredible and completely impractical possibility:
Will I be able to meet Bai Lili, who just debuted, or even collect some rare merchandise from her debut days to take home?
When Hyacinth saw the strange girl in white descending from the sky, her intense longing finally subsided, and she couldn't take a single step for a moment.
The lilacs in front of the crack also showed the same astonished expression as the hyacinths.
The Divine Stone communication channel was noisy, as if everyone in the conference room had crowded in front of the video, eager to see the white-clad girl who had descended from the sky on the screen.
"—It can't be wrong."
Xin Yuehu's voice rang in everyone's ears.
"That person is... a magical girl, Albatross."
