The broom train kept flying skyward, but Jiang Si could sense that time and space were not quite right.
Time and space here seemed to be problematic, or chaotic.
Because Jiang Si noticed the surroundings were constantly wrapped in a strange magic power, and at a certain altitude, his vision started to misalign.
When the broom train's speed slowed down, the world was whirling around him.
This is not a metaphor, but a straightforward description.
The sky was beneath his feet, and the ground was above. Lifting his head, he could even see the previous platform, distant and ethereal.
And below his feet lay layers of cumulus clouds, solid like the ground. A very modern high-rise building suddenly stood above the clouds.
In this fantastical and magnificent scenery, a modern high-rise suddenly appeared.
It's not just unrelated; it's downright incongruous.
The Disaster Strategy Bureau's taste was consistently despair-inducing.
Ever since seeing their plagiarized Platform 9 3/4, Jiang Si had lost hope in their aesthetic.
But witnessing such an abrupt scene still exceeded his expectations.
Yin Lian was the first to jump out of the carriage, directly stepping onto the cumulus clouds. The clouds gently rebounded, steadily holding Yin Lian up without falling.
"Don't worry. As long as they're not Disaster Beasts, ordinary people and Magical Girls can tread on cumulus clouds," Yin Lian jumped a bit on the clouds to reassure them.
She was already short, and at this moment, she looked even more like a primary school student...
Jiang Keke first tried extending her right leg, stepping onto the clouds to confirm the sensation of stepping on something solid, before she extended the other foot, clutching the broom, slowly letting go, and carefully walking on the cumulus clouds.
"How is it? I didn't lie to you, right?"
Jiang Keke also jumped a little – she was originally not very old, just starting middle school this year, with a youthful nature. However, due to her family environment, she often suppressed herself, appearing mature.
In reality, facing such circumstances, she was somewhat excited, bouncing on the clouds, finally showing signs appropriate for her age.
Yin Lian accompanied Keke hopping back and forth, looking as if Keke was leading her younger sister to play.
Jiang Si watched for a while, intending to confirm there was no danger before letting go.
Though holding onto the broom all this way had left his hands feeling somewhat weary and sore, he couldn't easily let go before confirming safety.
After all, if he truly fell, he would have no choice but to transform, but transforming here was obviously unwise.
But just as he touched the clouds, feeling the softness engulfing his legs.
The broom in his hand suddenly vanished.
Clearly, this was beyond Jiang Si's expectations, and worse still, losing his support, he couldn't find any sensation of stepping on anything solid while on the clouds, directly sinking into the cumulus clouds, even starting to fall!
But though it felt like falling, there was also a sense of flying upwards.
"Careful!"
Yin Lian first noticed something amiss and quickly dashed over.
In an instant, revealing a pink magic power, she grabbed Jiang Si's hand at lightning speed under the aid of magic power.
Beside them, Jiang Keke instinctively ran two steps forward, and upon seeing Yin Lian grabbing Jiang Si, she slightly relaxed, then slowed her steps, moving beside them, assisting Yin Lian in holding the other hand to prevent Jiang Si from falling.
"Hold tight, don't let go!"
"You're not human, how could you fall off like this..."
"Is this the time to say such things, Keke!"
To prevent exposing herself, Yin Lian also withdrew the magic power from the seed, but then realized, this weight...
She couldn't maintain her grip.
Puzzled why Jiang Si was so heavy, given his small stature, she still promptly declared:
"Hang on, I'll call the broom back right away!"
Then she took out the key again, this time clearly seeing the pink magic power swirling around the key, then expanding outward.
The broom that had vanished suddenly fell from the sky, but this time without the carriage.
It lay alone beneath Jiang Si's feet.
By now, half of his body was already submerged in the clouds.
"Are you all right?" Once Jiang Si climbed onto the broom, Yin Lian slightly breathed a sigh of relief, evidently quite startled. She had never seen anyone fall through these clouds, "Why did you suddenly fall, shouldn't have happened right?"
Beside them, Jiang Keke added, "Definitely not human."
"Have you come into contact with any Disaster Beasts recently?" Yin Lian seemed to recall something, "Could it be contamination from Disaster Beasts."
Jiang Si thought for a moment, "Oh, yes, I did step onto the blood of that big bat at the middle school division."
"Possibly because of this..."
Actually, contamination isn't that simple, Jiang Si somewhat guessed it should be related to absorbing the magic power from the Seed of Sorrow.
It appears the Disaster Strategy Bureau still has some methods...
Yin Lian was supporting Jiang Si, maneuvering the broom toward the Disaster Strategy Bureau building when Jiang Keke suddenly asked from behind, "Why did you go to the middle school division?"
"Just passing through."
In truth, he had gone to collect the Seed of Sorrow, incidentally absorbing magic power.
However, to the two girls, it sounded like something else entirely.
Once through the clouds, the Disaster Strategy Bureau's entrance could be seen, with a shiny plaque displaying the words Disaster Strategy Bureau hanging above, and the door was a commonly seen glass revolving door.
