Girl Doesn’t Die in Fairytale Town: Chapter 57 – The End
Amidst the dilapidated ruins, Luo Yan stood silently.
The mysterious bandaged girl, who had fallen from the sky, leaned against her, a cold, stiff weight.
The scattered spatial rifts had dissipated, and all that remained of the terrifying crimson monster was a small, wriggling lump of flesh, stubbornly inching towards Luo Yan.
Its frenzied instinct was solely focused on killing the bandaged girl, even though it was on the verge of dissipating.
“Finally… it’s over.”
Luo Yan stared at the lump of flesh and sighed softly.
She gathered all her remaining demonic power and used the “Witch of Envy’s” mental ability one last time.
The wriggling flesh instantly disintegrated. Along with Mrs. Natalie’s fading obsession, the last traces of her existence in this world were finally erased.
Perhaps, for her, this was good news…
As for what came next…
Luo Yan looked down at the bandaged girl in her arms.
She was certain she had never met this girl before, yet the girl had clearly called out her name.
“So what’s going on?”
Luo Yan rubbed her temples, the hallucinatory images still lingering in her mind.
And vaguely, when she looked into the bandaged girl’s eyes, she seemed to see scenes from the past…
Luo Yan recalled that something similar had happened in the town.
When she first met Ling Qi, in her panic, she had unconsciously used a special ability, or as Hua Qiling called it, an “esper ability.”
Unfortunately, this ability had been mostly useless afterward, until now, when it activated again, showing her the bandaged girl’s memories.
“…Never mind, there are already so many mysteries, one more doesn’t make a difference.”
Luo Yan sighed, but another question arose.
This situation was somewhat similar to Ling Qi’s…
“What should I do with her?”
Luo Yan looked at the bandaged girl, unsure.
Fortunately, her hesitation didn’t last long. A surprised voice interrupted her thoughts.
“Miss Luo Yan!”
It was Hua Qiling.
Luo Yan turned and saw Hua Qiling staring at her in disbelief, her face filled with unexpected joy. “You, you, you… you’re still alive!”
“…That’s a rather rude thing to say.” Luo Yan’s expression was slightly exasperated. “Yes, I’m still alive.”
“Ah, sorry…”
Hua Qiling hurried over and carefully examined Luo Yan, then cautiously touched her arm before sighing in relief.
“Good, good, you’re really alive…”
“…I don’t want to repeat myself.”
“Eh, who are you holding?” Hua Qiling’s gaze quickly shifted to the bandaged girl in Luo Yan’s arms. “I don’t think I’ve seen her in town before…”
“Huh? Didn’t you send her here?” Luo Yan asked, surprised.
“What do you mean ‘send her here’…? Wait…” As if realizing something, Hua Qiling’s eyes widened, and she looked nervously at the bandaged girl. “Miss Luo Yan, are you saying… she’s the ‘Ice Coffin Weapon’?”
“The ‘Ice Coffin Weapon’… I did see her emerge from an ice coffin,” Luo Yan nodded thoughtfully.
Hua Qiling almost jumped. She quickly took out a bracelet-like device and fastened it onto the bandaged girl’s wrist.
“What’s that?” Luo Yan asked curiously.
“A suppressor… Wait, Miss Luo Yan, were you holding her like this the entire time?”
“Yes,” Luo Yan nodded, then added, “She hugged me herself.”
Luo Yan hesitated, then decided not to mention that the bandaged girl seemed to know her.
Hua Qiling broke out in a cold sweat. The “Hyperspace Severance patient’s” ability was highly unstable and could only be controlled by suppressing her mind and soul.
If she awakened… the closer one was to her, the denser the spatial rifts would become.
Direct contact… would result in complete disintegration.
Yet, Miss Luo Yan was standing right before her, perfectly fine. Hua Qiling could only marvel inwardly.
Even after witnessing so many strange things in the town, Miss Luo Yan’s resilience still surprised her.
“Now what? What do we do?”
Luo Yan waved her hand in front of Hua Qiling’s face and asked.
“Ah… just give her to me. She seems stable now.”
Hua Qiling wiped the sweat from her forehead and cautiously took the bandaged girl from Luo Yan’s arms.
“Who is she?”
Luo Yan asked after handing over the girl.
“…I don’t know,” Hua Qiling shook her head and whispered. “The origins of ‘Ice Coffin Weapons’ are usually classified, sealed in top-secret archives. I don’t have access.”
Looking down at the bandaged girl, Hua Qiling sighed. “But clearly, she’s a pitiful child.”
She looked no older than seven or eight, yet because she suffered from “Hyperspace Severance Syndrome,” she was sealed in an ice coffin and used as a weapon.
Even though Hua Qiling had heard about the truth behind the “Ice Coffin Weapons,” witnessing it firsthand was still deeply unsettling.
“Is that so…”
Luo Yan’s expression was noncommittal, but she made a mental note.
The bandaged girl knew her, or rather, knew “Luo Yan.” This might be a chance to unravel some mysteries.
And…
The image of the bandaged girl’s gray eyes, looking at her in the bloody rain, was seared into Luo Yan’s mind, causing a pang of pain in her heart every time she recalled it.
After placing the bandaged girl in a portable “Ice Coffin container,” Hua Qiling finally breathed a sigh of relief. She looked up at Luo Yan, who was staring intently at the container, and asked,
“Miss Luo Yan, do you have any plans now?”
“Ah, no, not really.”
Luo Yan came back to her senses and shook her head.
This was the first time she had been outside the town. Looking at the skyscrapers in the distance, she felt a sense of unreality, as if she were in a different world.
“How about… coming to Yan City?” An idea struck Hua Qiling. “There are many fun things in Yan City~”
“…”
Why did that sound like she was trying to lure a child?
But Luo Yan didn’t have anywhere else to go, and if she wanted to uncover the mysteries surrounding her, the only clue was the bandaged girl’s origin, and she might find some answers in Yan City.
Moreover, Hua Qiling had left a good impression on her during their brief time together in the town.
Thinking of this, Luo Yan turned to Hua Qiling and, under her surprised gaze, curtsied, a perfect servant’s bow.
“Then… Miss Hua Qiling, please take care of me.”
