dark witches rise

Roja leaned on the wall and walked out of the dark alley.

Every step he takes, will involve the injury on his body, and there will be bursts of stinging pain.

Under the suppression of the rules of the moon phase world, without the protection of the power of the domain, Roja would not be able to last for a few minutes before his body would completely collapse.

Roja has the power of the domain, but it is not enough to protect the whole body.

So he abandoned 90.00% of his body, and the remaining part of the body was transformed into a small root system protected by the power of the domain to parasitize the current body.

Losing more than half of his body, he needs to create domain power all the time to resist the oppression of the moon phase world rules. Roja's strength is unprecedentedly weak.

His current strength is not even as good as the weakest first-class apprentice.

But despite this, with the powerful healing ability of his forest magic power and his understanding of the human body, it only takes a few minutes to heal the injuries on his body.

But he won't do that.

Someone must have seen him being dragged into an alley and beaten by three punks.

During the hours when he lay in the alley, many people saw his miserable figure.

He doesn't have any injuries at all, is it reasonable?

Although the probability of being discovered is very small, Roja will never show any flaws.

He staggered and walked slowly, with a painful expression on his face every time he took a step.

Leave the dark alley.

Walk on the brightly lit streets illuminated by street lamps.

"What's next?"

Roja looked around.

On the road, vehicles of various colors were driving in an orderly manner, and the sound of horns spread far and wide at night.

In the restaurant, supper eaters sat table after table, and the tangy aroma of food wafted around Roja's nostrils, arousing his hunger instinct.

In the milk tea shop, a group of stylishly dressed little girls gathered around chattering about the topic of love. Occasionally, they glimpsed the beggar-like Roja through the glass, showing disgusted expressions.

Although this world has many differences from Roja's previous life, there are many similarities.

"Maybe I can relax a bit?"

"Can you go to the bar to have fun and have a side night talk with the prodigal young lady?"

"Or go to the game hall and ravage those elementary school students who think they are invincible on the game console?"

"Why don't you taste all the delicacies and become an expert in food appreciation?"

Various thoughts flashed in Roja's mind.

"You can try it when you have time."

"Now then..."

Roja fumbled in his pocket.

His pockets were empty, not even a penny.

"In any world, money is inseparable!"

"Make money first."

With Roja's ability, it is very easy to make money.

Although he has never learned the technique of stealing, as long as he does it, no one will be able to find out.

"A dignified official wizard, a dignified holy emperor of the Holy Luo Empire, to steal money from ordinary people, isn't it too depraved?"

Roja thought for a while.

"Going to the casino?"

Although under the pressure of the rules of the moon phase world, it is difficult for Roja to release his mental power, but the rules of the moon phase world will not affect the certificate of twin souls.

With the certificate of twin souls, the casino is his cash machine.

"If you go to the casino...it's not good if you make too much money and get caught by someone."

"It doesn't matter in the future, it is still in its infancy, and its strength is still too weak."

"...It's better to keep a low profile."

After much deliberation, Roja finally decided to go back to his old profession of this body - scavengers.

Ordinary scavengers either dig through the trash cans or go to the dump to find valuable things.

Roja doesn't need to do that.

The proof of twin souls!

"There's a gold ring that fell off there?"

Roja walked a few hundred meters, picked up a wooden stick and picked out a gold ring from the stinky ditch.

"There are thousands of dollars hidden in that dress?"

Roja picked up an old men's coat, and dozens of banknotes were sewn deep into the coat.

"Private money?"

Roja accepted all the money without hesitation.

"Is this a wallet?"

Roja got another few dozen dollars.

Within a few hours of Roja's scavenging journey, he picked up nearly [-] in cash, as well as rings, gems, jewelry... and other items worth more than [-].

"Scavenging is really a joy."

"I'm kind of having fun with it."

Roja, who had money, successfully filled his stomach and started on the way home.

His residence is located on a street called Hushu Street.

A remote place away from the city center.

Come to the depths of Hushu Street, a place called poor apartments.

Walking through the wet and muddy road full of cigarette butts, glass shards, and excrement, and smelling the stench of various smells all the way, Roja came to a five-story dangerous house.

Looking at the house with many cracks in the wall in front of him, Roja came to his door.

Did not come back for a day.

The lock was smashed.

The door was pried open.

Walk into the room and take a look.

The crowded room, which was originally full of scraps that could be sold for money, became much more empty, and even the wooden planks on the floor used to make the bed were gone.

"Did you make a mistake?"

"Even steal from scavengers?"

"It's okay to steal valuables, but the boards you sleep on are all taken away?"

Roja deeply felt the malice of this world.

Roja knew why this happened.

Because he is a scavenger, the only scavenger in this poor apartment.

It’s not that people here look down on scavengers, but scavengers often take a pile of garbage home, put the garbage in the room, and pile it up at the door, exuding an unpleasant stench, attracting all kinds of bugs, especially the stench in rainy days It even spread directly to the entire apartment.

Although the environment of this apartment is inherently poor, their family of scavengers can be called the strongest destroyer of air quality.

In the past, when Grandma Sally was still there, because she had lived here for decades, the neighbors in the neighborhood would give her some face.

Now there are only fourteen or fifteen-year-old boys left alone, and they will not continue to endure.

Breaking his lock, breaking his door, stealing his things, taking his bed board this time is just a reminder to him.

If he continues to pick up the trash and put it away, it won't be so easy next time.

But as a person who picks up waste for a living, if he can't make money by picking up waste, how can he survive?
"Go tell them this truth, will they listen?"

"Will they put up with the stench of garbage just to make money for me?"

"...Actually, it's not that I can't understand them."

Roja looked at the environment of the room and couldn't help frowning.

Due to the accumulation of all kinds of garbage picked up in this room all year round, the whole room is filled with a lingering stench.

Even the people living in the room seemed to be marinated by the stench.

Roja wanted to open the window to diffuse the smell in the room, but he didn't expect that there was a stinky gutter outside the window. A bunch of flies and mosquitoes crazily flew into the room from the open window, and he closed the window decisively again.

If possible, he would like to use cement to seal this window forever.

"Although the room is only a dozen square meters, there is no toilet, no kitchen, no faucets, and no electricity..."

"But there are public toilets and public faucets here, and it only costs a few hundred yuan a year. It's barely a place that can keep out the wind and rain."

"It's a little bit better than beggars on the streets who don't even have a place to live."

Roja glanced at the room where all kinds of bugs were crawling on the floor, and at the dozen or so little strong that he trampled to death.

If there is no board to sleep on, if you just sleep on the ground...

"Go out and find a place to sleep."

Roja left the room and found a safe corner on the street to sleep for the night.

……

Early the next morning.

The people in the poor apartment looked at Roja who was cleaning the room with sweat.

"Xiaoxiu, what are you doing?"

"What are these wastes? Are you going to throw them away?"

"Why did you suddenly buy a lot of new furniture?"

In the face of other people's inquiries, Roja took out the remarks he had already prepared.

"Grandma left me some money."

"She told me to concentrate on my studies and work hard to get into a good university."

"I won't be a scavenger in the future, I will spend all my time and energy on my studies."

Scavengers don't have to be poor.

The grandma of this body has saved a considerable amount of money through frugality over the years, richer than most of the residents in this apartment.

But she didn't use the money to improve her life. She still picked up garbage every day, collected scraps that could be sold for money, and ate steamed buns and pickles twice a day. She saved all the money.

Then after getting sick, he gave all the hundreds of thousands he had accumulated in his life to Yuanshen, so that Yuanshen could study hard.

Then--

As a filial grandson, Yuanshen, how could he be able to hold hundreds of thousands of dollars while watching his grandma, who worked so hard to raise him, die of illness?
After learning from the doctor that as long as the treatment continues, there is still a certain probability that the disease will be cured.

Regardless of grandma's objection, Yuanshen spent all the money on medical treatment.

Then the money ran out, and grandma lived a few more days, but unfortunately passed away.

The money is gone, and the people are gone.

does it worth?
Roja is not good.

Some people, in the face of seriously injured relatives, obviously have the money to treat the disease, but decisively give up the treatment.

Some people, when their loved ones are sick, as long as there is still a glimmer of hope of healing, they will go bankrupt.

Roja does not belong to the former nor to the latter.

In a similar situation, he would try to get treatment, but he would leave at least [-] to [-] pockets, and he would never spend all his savings to leave himself with no way out.

But he spent all the money and didn't keep a penny, only he knew.

So when he did what the scavenger grandma said, the people around him didn't doubt it.

"Clean the room? Let me help."

"What if I just bought these pieces of furniture? I have some unwanted ones at home, so I'll give them to you."

"I have a scrapped bed for you to use."

"Need to discard clothes?"

"Your walls are too dirty. I'm doing decoration. I just have free time these two days. How about charging you only for materials?"

People at the bottom are sometimes very cunning and vicious, but sometimes they are very kind and tolerant.

As a collection of contradictions, they may have been cursing Roja not long ago, cursing the scavengers who picked up a pile of rubbish and polluted the apartment environment. their share.

But when he heard that Roja was no longer planning to be a waste picker, and was planning to clean up the house and study hard to get into a good university in the future, he immediately became excited and extended a helping hand.

Regarding cleaning the room, I feel that they are more active than Roja.

With Roja's efforts and everyone's help, the room was completely new in just a few days.

The walls were plastered again. Although all kinds of furniture are second-hand, they are very complete. Daily necessities such as quilts, kettles, and toothbrushes have been replaced with new ones.

The stench that had permeated the entire room for decades and affected the entire apartment simply disappeared.

Roja, who had changed into white clothes, looked at himself in the mirror.

A thin, fair and beautiful boy?
Who would have thought that the scavenger who was so dirty and looked like a source of mobile stench was so handsome?
Over the past few days, the way people look at him, whether they know him or not, has changed.

The people who avoided him before became friendly all of a sudden.

There were actually a few aunts who introduced objects to him.

Roja stood in front of the mirror, gently stroking his handsome face, recalling the charms in his body and the gemstone necklace related to the mystery of his life experience.

"Is it the down-and-out son of a big family?"

"It's the same bloody plot as the TV series."

"I hope that no one from a big family will come to my door and say that I am the only heir of the family and take it away forcibly."

"I just want to live in peace and become stronger in a low-key way."

Roja has not been idle at all during these few days.

Whenever he has time, he uses the certificate of twin souls to analyze this body carefully, and nourishes this body with the power of the main body.

Although his appearance and body shape have not changed from a few days ago, his body is still so thin, as if he could be blown down by a gust of wind, but his physique is no weaker than that of a healthy adult.

With the nourishment of the body, and the most suitable exercise method for this body created with the help of the certificate of twin souls, Roja can train this body to the extreme within a month, and can punch a thousand pounds of strength.

But Roja knows that one punch is just the ultimate of a mortal.

There are extraordinary powers in this world.

He must understand the world, and he must unearth the power hidden in his body.

as well as--

"I don't know what happened to the other testers besides me?"

"Among the nine people who participated in the trial this time, how many of them can kill the three hellhounds and get the key to the moon phase world?"

"The strength of every person who can successfully enter the moon phase world is probably unfathomable?"

"I always feel that the world is not that simple..."

"We must race against the clock to become stronger!"

Roja left the room and wandered the streets.

He seems to be wandering aimlessly, but in fact he is actually using the certificate of twin souls to observe passers-by and analyze their physique.

Although they all have hands and feet, they all look like humans, but in fact, they are very different from the "human" that Roja knows, and they are not a species at all.

It is impossible for people in this world to use cultivation methods in the past, and it is impossible to obtain extraordinary power beyond the limit of the human body.

If one wants to obtain extraordinary power, one can only use the cultivation methods of people in this world.

"Where to get it?"

"Create it yourself?"

"Even if I have the support of the certificate of twin souls, it is still a bit difficult."

When Roja was struggling, looking at the woman who broke into his field of vision, Roja kept his eyes fixed!
A person with extraordinary power is actually in front of him? (end of this chapter)
