Chapter 107 Victims
The girl sat on the chair, looking up and down at the other side of the river.
"What's your name?"
"the other side."
"I'm not asking for your magical girl code name, I'm asking for your real name."
"..." Bi'an glanced at Noah, unsure whether she could reveal her real name under these circumstances. Noah nodded slightly in response.
After receiving tacit approval, Bi'an revealed her real name: "He Yuran".
However, the girl's expression did not relax after hearing the name.
The girl shook her head. "No. You're not from that lab. If you were... I should know—"
"I'm telling the truth," Bi'an immediately retorted. She also began to doubt the girl's identity; what was her basis for judgment?
"The other side was indeed in the laboratory at that time."
Noah took a step forward and stood between the girl and the other side.
"The laboratory at that time was not a single area. Moreover, because a control group was needed, it was divided into several isolated sections. There were some special experimental subjects who had never met the other children before."
Noah turned her gaze to the other side, her tone tinged with nostalgia, "She was the child who was isolated in a special area. So, of course you didn't know she existed."
The girl's face remained full of doubt. She clearly couldn't easily believe Noah's one-sided explanation.
"I know you don't believe me." Noah seemed to have anticipated her reaction. "Why don't you examine the state of her magical energy circulation yourself, and you'll understand everything?"
The girl looked back at the other side with some doubt, then stood up from the chair and pointed to the medical bed next to her.
"Sit up there."
Despite having many doubts on the other side, they still did as instructed.
The girl walked up to her and grabbed Bi'an's wrist with one hand. A cool sensation traveled from her fingertips into Bi'an's body.
"hiss--"
This feeling made her very uncomfortable, and she subconsciously wanted to pull her hand back.
"It's a little uncomfortable, just bear with it for a bit."
The girl pulled He Yuran's hand towards her and continued her investigation.
Time passed by, second by second.
At first, the girl's expression was wary. But gradually, she looked at the other side with a complex gaze.
"...This feeling...the damage to the magic circuits is an old wound that's been there for over 10 years. These signs of human-caused damage definitely look like something you'd see in an experiment."
Having confirmed this, she loosened her grip, and her tone softened considerably.
"Lie down," she said to the still somewhat bewildered man on the other side. "I'll treat you."
"Treatment?" The other side was completely confused. "I'm not injured."
The girl looked surprised for a moment, then turned to Noah with some confusion: "Didn't you tell her?"
"I didn't explain that to her clearly," Noah said, turning her gaze away. "I forgot to mention it when we came."
"..." The girl sighed, turned to look at the other side, "Let me explain to you. You lie down first."
Although she still found it hard to understand, Bi'an obediently lay down on the bed. However, she did have a question she wanted to ask the other person first—
"Excuse me, how should I address you?"
"Me?" A gentle smile appeared on the girl's face, her previous wariness gone. "I'm also a magical girl, my code name is 'Heart-Pounding'."
The hand that was clasped around the heart grasped the forearm of the other side, and a tingling sensation, completely different from the previous icy feeling, surged in again.
"How much do you know about your childhood?"
While treating him, he began asking questions.
"All I know is that I used to live in a laboratory. Then one day something suddenly happened... what people often call an 'unexpected natural disaster,' and I've been living an ordinary life ever since."
"Didn't you investigate the old lab? Don't you have any complaints about your previous life?"
"No," Bi'an answered honestly. "After all... I've been living a normal life since I came out, and the Civil Defense Bureau has taken care of all my daily needs... It's not bad for me."
He clasped his hands, looking at the other side with mixed feelings. She knew far too little about the situation. It seemed necessary to explain things clearly to her; perhaps he could even persuade her to join the organization.
"The experiment at the time was called the 'Magical Girl Awakening Project,' and its purpose was to find a way to artificially catalyze the awakening of magical girls—"
So, Fu Xin spent about ten minutes explaining the situation of the experiment to the other side, while continuing the treatment he was receiving.
Having heard all this... they must already feel disgusted by the Civil Defense Bureau's experimentation on magical girls.
However, the other side has a rather indifferent attitude—
"Uh... even if you told me all that, I wouldn't be interested. After all, there's no point in me dwelling on an experiment from 10 years ago."
No problem, the real topic is below. He patted his heart and thought to himself.
"Didn't you ever think that if it weren't for the Civil Defense Bureau's experiment, you could have lived a normal life during your childhood?"
"Huh?" Bi'an was slightly taken aback; she hadn't really thought about that.
"It seems I need to tell you about us, the 'Children of Dawn'."
A strange light ignited in his heart-pounding eyes—
"We are an organization whose ultimate goal is to 'liberate' all magical girls."
"The actions of the Civil Defense Bureau are nothing more than using the guise of 'order' and 'protection' to enslave magical girls!"
"They have shackled our fellow citizens, forcing us to burn our lives for the so-called 'collective human good'."
"We want the world to understand a truth—magical girls should never be tools in the hands of humans, or weapons that can be sacrificed at will."
"Does the sake of so-called humanity justify ignoring the demands of other magical girls? The lessons learned from the past example of magical girl compassion are crystal clear!"
"And like you, I am a victim of the 'Magical Girl Awakening Project.' I witnessed firsthand the cruel atrocities committed by the Human Defense Bureau in order to maintain their so-called 'order.'"
"So, would you like to join us in creating a new world?"
To be honest, this speech was quite impassioned, but the person on the other side was completely confused.
What is that?
The gaze from the other side turned to Noah, who was not far away—
"Noah, what exactly is she saying? Can you give me a brief summary?"
Noah looked at the bewildered look on the other side, and then at Fuxin, who was engrossed in his speech and full of enthusiasm, and shook her head helplessly.
"They want to rebel, it's that simple."
