Mystery: Mr. Witch and Miss Hunter

Chapter 357 I Refuse

The surrounding scenery was receding rapidly, and Gagaran flew to the side of the zelkova with Adele.

The zelkova tree seemed to be bigger than last time. It was just a tree in the center of the city, but now it has cut the city in two.

Corpses were still hanging from its branches, and Adele and the two flew past the corpses.

Several times Adele felt that the corpses wanted to turn around and grab her skirt, but because of Gagran's presence, they didn't dare to move.

"These are believers of the City of Disaster...but you should have guessed that too."

Ge Gelan didn't drive those corpses away deliberately, and let them retreat automatically by relying on his own personality.

The corpses were dragged by the branches, hanging between countless jagged and weird buildings.

The closer to the beech tree, the weirder the shape of the buildings in the city. There are tall walls, fortresses, and minarets, which are scattered high and low, like a maze.

Buildings in geometric shapes such as cylinders, cones, cubes, and spheres are stacked in groups and twisted upside down.

And among these crazy buildings, they seem to be connected to each other through tubular skybridges, casting a lingering shadow on Adele's heart.

"...But didn't you say before that there are only three believers in the City of Disaster?"

Adele asked puzzledly, "Besides me, you and the original witch, there are many other people here."

"There are only three in the north and south continents."

Ge Gelan explained, "On the other side of the seal, there is a Western Continent, where a lot of source quality is sealed, and the main body of the city of disaster is also there."

"There are also many residents over there who have mastered another system of extraordinary power. They do not rely on extraordinary characteristics, but rely on a ritual-like arrangement to obtain abilities."

"The ceremony when you were promoted to Sequence Seven earlier originated from the Western Continent. It has been improved based on the common mystic rituals in the Northern Continent, but the effect is the same."

"The residents of the Western Continent also worship the City of Disaster?" Adele asked in surprise, "In other words, there is also a church of the City of Disaster...?"

"Strictly speaking, what they worship is not 'City of Calamity', but the various branches of Calamity."

Gagaran replied, "According to the information I obtained from this dream, some of them believe in a kind of existence called 'worshiping gods'."

"Different worship gods control different kinds of disasters. People there collectively call this kind of existence worship gods, and they enshrine worship gods out of fear of disasters. This behavior of categorization in turn promotes disasters. The awakening of the general consciousness of the city."

While speaking, Ge Gelan and the two had come to the foot of the beech tree that cut the whole city in half.

The flames on the zelkova tree seem to have been burning for tens of thousands of years, and the big tree is still standing, which seems to have unique meanings for believers on both sides.

Gagaran lightly tapped the thick tree trunk with his hand, and the bark burned, producing purple flames, forming an illusory door of light.

Adele also tried to knock, but nothing happened.

"Only when you reach the demigod level can you open the light gate; if you want to pass through the light gate to the other side of the city, you have to wait until you are promoted to an angel. After you are promoted to a true god, perhaps there will be new changes here."

Gagaran explained, "So, if you want to borrow more power from source matter, you should upgrade your own sequence as soon as possible."

"Can you still borrow the power of the source?" Adele's eyes lit up, and she immediately noticed the hidden meaning in Gagaran's words.

"At your level, there is not much power that can be borrowed. For the witch, the biggest effect is that all rituals that require the witness of a true god or other high-level existence can point the source of power of the ritual to the city of disaster, and from then on , your fate will have something to do with the city of disasters, and others may be disturbed by the city of disasters when they are divining you."

Ge Gelan patiently explained to Adele, "However, too much entanglement with the fate of the source is not necessarily a good thing. You need to weigh the pros and cons by yourself."

Adele rubbed her chin, thoughtfully: "Is this the ability that all witches who control the city of disaster have?"

Ge Gelan snorted lightly, and did not answer immediately, but cast his gaze on the light gate.

On the other side of the light gate, a deep black passage appeared. The two sides of the passage were covered with ugly and distorted sculptures, which looked like the result of secondary carvings, and seemed to be a kind of blasphemy against this ancient city.

In the burning purple flames, Adele saw corpses of unknown ages strewn all over the passage, each of them suffered different degrees of beating, squeezing, twisting and tearing.

Under the dim light, only half of the outline of the huge figure at the end of the passage was revealed, which almost caused Adele's sanity to collapse.

That is the ultimate incarnation of what the Tarot Society has repeatedly warned is inaccessible, the source of starry sky pollution, and the core of all disasters in the world!
Like a galloping steam train, the huge black front end surged forward along the channel, crushing the ancient remains on the road, and rolling at high speed against the inner wall of the channel more than ten meters high.

Adele felt that her body was disintegrating and deforming. At the same time, she noticed that even Gagran beside her was not immune. Countless blue and black snakes peeled off her face and died, and the skin that faded before death had a human face. like patterns.

At the last moment before Adele's consciousness disappeared, she saw clearly what was coming at the end of the passage:
It was a swirling blood-red mist, an amorphous substance like blood foam gushing out of the neck cavity, which filled the front end of the tunnel, densely covered with eyes that were constantly forming and decomposing!

"He is different from other sources, we cannot control him."

Gagaran's body also disintegrated and crumbled when facing that existence, but her voice still echoed in the city.

"All we can do is not let him control us."

……

Adele woke up suddenly from her dream, her body soaked in cold sweat, soaking through her pajamas.

Tracy was lying on the bed next to her, sleeping peacefully, leaning against the wall. Compared to the all-powerful pirate general, she looked like an insecure child.

The experiences in the dream flooded into her mind, and the fragmented memories made her head ache.

The scarlet constraint, the original jelly, the color beyond the space, the burning zelkova, the door to the western continent...

Even Adele didn't know the meaning of many phrases when she recalled them. The protection of old knowledge in her mind is still working, which prevents her from being polluted by similar information.

Lifting the quilt, Adele had no sleepiness at all, so she got out of bed tremblingly, and poured herself a glass of water from the kettle on the table.

A large glass of cold boiled water flowed down the throat into the esophagus, and Adele felt that her brain was a little clearer, and it was no longer in a mess. Only then did she remember why Tracy was in the same room as herself.

When they returned to Port of Behrens with Gagaran, Adele and his group found a random hotel to stay in, and Gagaran chose a single room, which was next door to Adele and the others.

Want to meet Gagaran?

Adele was a little hesitant.

What she saw tonight gave her an unprecedented sense of uneasiness. Even though she had been dying in dreams before, many of them saw death in the form of mythical creatures, but what she saw today... was something beyond those. .

Although Adele hadn't made up her mind yet, her movements were not slow, and she had already put on her clothes.

Although dying in a dream before would not affect reality, after all, I have never seen such a scary thing before.Even Emperor Roselle was polluted, and the resurrection of the Black Emperor couldn't rule out this kind of pollution.

I should talk to someone...

Adele walked out of the room lightly, came to Gagran's door, knocked on the door, and the door slid open naturally.

Ge Gelan was half lying on the bed, and a red candle was lit beside the bed. The warm fire light flickered, and her face flickered.

"What the hell did I... see?"

Adele asked hesitantly.

"City of Disaster." Gagaran pulled the quilt to his side, leaving room for Adele. "To be precise, it is the end of the city of disaster."

Adele carefully sat down beside Gageran, leaning on Gageran's shoulder.

"The 'Fool' controlled the 'Origin Castle' and became the 'Lord of Mysteries'; the eldest son of the Creator controlled the 'Chaos Sea' and was planning to become a 'God'. However, no one can control the 'City of Disaster' '."

Ge Gelan said slowly, with a serious expression. "The City of Disaster is such a special existence, and this is why Chick fears him."

"Remember what I told you before, that the 'Primary Witch' can be resurrected from the dead like the 'Dark Emperor'?"

"This sentence is actually not quite accurate. After the death of the Black Emperor, if there is any remaining order established by him, he can be resurrected from his own mausoleum strangely. The original witch is after a disaster of sufficient scale occurs. , will be reborn in the body of a witch above the demigod level."

"However, after the resurrection of the Black Emperor, if his three Extraordinary characteristics are possessed by others during this period, these three Sequence 1 Extraordinary characteristics will automatically return; and after the original witch is resurrected, the existence of possessing his Sequence 1 will not be affected. Extraordinary characteristics can still be retained."

this?Adele frowned instinctively, feeling incredible.

Due to the existence of the Law of Conservation of Extraordinary Characteristics, the resurrection of the old gods must be accompanied by the return of the characteristics, otherwise the personality and ability cannot be reduced.

No, there should be another possibility...

Adele looked at Gaglan, who nodded.

"The only explanation is that the one who was resurrected was not the original original witch, but...'Chongshen', or one of the incarnations of the city of disaster."

Ge Gelan said solemnly, "If a primordial witch falls, there must be a new primordial top in a short time, otherwise, the city of disaster will be further awakened, and through the ceremony with the source quality, it will gain the power equivalent to that of the true god. .”

"You said before that the last time you were killed by a demigod-level existence in a dream? That was the body that had been born in the city of disasters, but at that time his power was still weak, allowing Chic to become the first The Primordial Witch took the initiative to break the connection with the City of Disaster."

"Although I want to pull Chikla down, it doesn't mean that I want the city of disaster to wake up."

Ge Gelan turned around and stared straight at Adele: "Do you remember what I told you when we parted?"

"If I fail, you must return to the ruins and use my wreckage to become the new original witch."

"Chick doesn't want to become the old days, because that means that there is a great probability of losing himself. Based on what he has done, the resistance of the city of disasters will be even more serious."

"However, since we say so, it seems that we don't need to be hostile to Chick. After all, compared to a 'primordial witch', we don't want to see the city of disasters wake up, don't we?"

Adele nodded first, then remembered something, and continued to ask Gagran.

"City of Disaster corresponds to more than just one path. That idiot Chick doesn't seem to realize this yet, and thinks he is the only choice for City of Disaster."

Gagran smiled sarcastically, "This is his conspiracy. There is no real god in the hunter path now. Even if Chick occupies the witch's path and does not become the old one, the city of disaster can also affect the hunter path and form a new one from this vacancy." At that time, Chick is completely unable to resist the city of disaster that has mastered the hunter's path, and he will become the complete old days."

"To put it simply, the only way out before us is to squeeze Chick out by ourselves, and then use the city of disasters to accommodate the true god of the hunter path, and finally obtain the old person, and then bet that we can at least be with his A balance of power in the game."

The expression on Gagran's face was a bit complicated, as if he was trying his best to show relief, but after several failed attempts, he just let out a heavy breath.

"He has already placed the game in front of us, and we can only compete with Him if we bet all our assets."

Her voice changed from the charming before, it was as heavy as cast iron. "He can lose many times, but if we lose once, we will be kicked off the poker table."

"You are only Sequence Six right now, you haven't reached demigod yet, you haven't seen what's in your own 'gate' yet, and you still have a chance to turn back."

This was the first time Gagran persuaded Adele to give up. Even though the witch in front of her was brought in by her own hands, she still wanted to give her a chance to give up.

Hypocrisy?Gagaran didn't know, but she knew that a witch should be like this. She suddenly wanted to give this child a chance to quit, so she did it without any reason, and she didn't need any other reason.

"At least, if you give up, your future will definitely be more stable than now..."

Gagran was only in the middle of her sentence, because Adele interrupted her suddenly. This was the first time she interrupted Gagran tonight.

"If the future has already been determined, is it still the future?"

Adele looked up at the starry sky outside the window, "So I refuse."
