Chapter 61 Mad Star
"A star fell to earth."
As Chen Mu firmly uttered those words.
Xiao Ying responded to her with a wildly beating heart!
She had vanished from his sight, but her voice echoed from within Chen Mu's chest, returning to its childlike joy and laughter as she uttered these three words:
"Recovery, restoration, resurrection!"
Unlike the transformations of typical magical girls, this response did not come from the magic power surrounding her, nor was it answered by Chen Mu's own voice.
Rather, it originated from her "Seed of the Heart," the incarnation of Ying. At this moment, it displayed an extraordinary performance—
Centered on her, an invisible magic erupted! The zombies that had just broken down the door and lunged at her, before they could even scream, were violently blown away by the shockwave and slammed into the walls and cabinets like rag dolls, instantly losing their ability to move.
The intense light did not come from the outside, but emanated from within! The light was not pure white or a warm color, but a cold silver glow mixed with a tender yellow halo like the budding of life.
In the light, Chen Mu's figure was rapidly reshaped.
Her original hospital gown vanished like a shed cocoon, replaced by a gorgeous dress with silver and white as the main colors. The skirt was not a fluffy princess dress, but rather a combination of multiple layers of silver-white armor plates with sharp lines and supple fabric, like budding petals, wrapped layer by layer, elegant and aloof.
The silver waist armor clung to her body, its lines flowing smoothly and exuding power, with subtle, intricate silver patterns swirling across it.
Her shoulder-length white hair moved without wind, the ends seemingly tinged with starlight and a faint silvery glow. Most striking were her eyes; her once black pupils had turned a cold, silvery-gray, like polished metal, devoid of any human emotion, only pure indifference and chilling aura remained.
"The heart flower is the narcissus." In that instant, Chen Mu understood and silently clenched his fist.
Those were daffodils blooming in the dead of winter, proud and beautiful amidst the ice and snow, yet carrying a chilling cold and an inviolable majesty.
The transformation was complete in an instant.
Chen Mu didn't even glance down at her dress; her silver-gray eyes were already locked onto the few remaining zombies struggling to get up in the storage room.
There were no incantations, no fancy magic names.
She moved.
Her movements were concise, swift, and precise to the point of being natural. Her silver skirt armor swept through the air, leaving a cold afterimage. She took a step forward, her toes touching the ground, and her body spun as if weightless. Her long legs swept across like whips, and the tips of her bare heels whistled through the air as she precisely kicked a zombie in the temple.
Click!
With a dull thud as the skull shattered, the zombie's body slumped to the ground.
At the same time, she grabbed with her backhand and smashed the eye socket of another zombie that pounced on her, the eyeball coming out through the back of its head.
It was pulled back, raising a cloud of bright red blood mist.
Her movements were swift and precise, like the most sophisticated killing machine, each action aimed directly at the vital points without any unnecessary movements.
With a few swift movements—splitting necks, shattering hearts, and severing spines—she cleared the storeroom of all the zombies.
If it were an ordinary enemy, they would have been intimidated by this terrifying magical girl and dared not approach, but the enemy at this moment was a fearless zombie.
"Ughhhhhh!"
Outside the door, many patients and caregivers who had turned into zombies were still squeezing in through the narrow gap and attacking Chen Mu.
"Perfect for me to try my hand at it." Chen Mu smiled slightly.
She did not choose to break out through the door.
Instead, he slightly turned his body, his left hand with fingers together, a point of extremely compressed silver light gathering at the fingertips, pointing towards the wall beside him—
A punch was thrown!
Boom!!!
The concrete wall was as if it had been cut by an invisible blade, instantly creating a large hole. Before the brick and stone fragments had completely fallen, the silver-white figure had already rushed out.
The girl arrived directly at the side of the zombie horde!
"Magic [Heavenly Immortal Cannot Reach Earth]." Cold words were uttered, transforming into magical power.
Chen Mu's understanding of magic is extremely profound, stemming from Lin Chaojing's experience and the inheritance from the book "The Law of Light." While there might be a gap in transmission when she taught Lin Yongxi, she herself still retains 100% of the knowledge and understanding. This means that the moment she came into contact with her heart flower, the Narcissus, inspiration had already arrived.
She understood her first magic.
The narcissus, which grows not on earth but in water, is likened by Yang Wanli to celestial fairies. Unlike other flowers that grow in the soil, the narcissus grows in clear water.
The effect of this magic was quite simple. Chen Mu instantly leaped into the air, and the heels of her shoes condensed into water-like magical power.
Stepping on these ripples, she was able to amplify the potential energy and power of her steps, and at the same time, she could leap again, and even step all the way up to achieve a kind of "flying" effect.
Although all magical girls can fly once they reach the [Bud] level, [Heavenly Immortal] only achieves a similar effect by jumping. However, upon closer inspection, it can be seen that the speed of this back-and-forth dash is absolutely unattainable by ordinary flight, and there is no way to achieve such agility. She can even dash in the opposite direction without inertia, achieving extremely terrifying mobility.
In particular, the place the girl stepped on possessed a magical, deadly power.
Like moonlight pouring down, cold and deadly.
Instead of engaging the zombies in a prolonged battle, she transformed into a silver comet rising against the black tide, clearing a path in the simplest and most efficient way. Her heels became sword blades, limbs and fragments flying everywhere she went, and bursts of dark red blood mist erupted continuously. She raced over the zombies' heads, kicking their skulls to pieces!
The silver-white skirt fluttered in the bloody storm, turning crimson.
The celestial being, unmoved by the earth, soared proudly overhead, the zombies unable to hinder her in the slightest. Chen Mu's expression remained extremely calm; even with such magic, her expression never changed. She showed no excitement, no fear, only a frozen indifference, as if she were merely clearing weeds from the road.
Pop pop pop pop! The sound of skulls exploding rang out repeatedly, like firecrackers bidding her farewell.
The corridor floor and walls were quickly covered with sticky blood and mangled bodies.
She finally fought her way through the crowded corridor, and the moment she landed, she was surrounded by fallen zombies. She was back at the entrance of the mental hospital.
In the atrium, that even larger and more terrifying shadow was slowly turning around.
Countless eyes on the many heads locked onto the silver-white figure emerging from the mountain of corpses and sea of blood.
Its pure white wings unfurled slightly, and thick, dark red blood dripped from its distorted body, mingling with the bloody stench emanating from Chen Mu on the ground.
"Oh?" All the mouths on the monster's body opened and closed simultaneously, emitting a strange, mixed chorus of surprise and greed. "This is... the power of a witch's contract? No... no, I can't sense any contract? More... natural? Interesting! Very interesting! Such powerful life force, the witch will definitely prefer such a sacrifice!"
Chen Mu stood amidst the chaos and bloodshed, his silver-gray eyes calmly raised as he gazed at the twisted monster that occupied almost half of the central courtyard.
She said, "I'm going to kill you."
