Chapter 245 Rooted Fear (6K)

Since the Time Witch could not provide clues, Li You and others had to return without success.

When they returned to the Witch Countermeasures Bureau, they unexpectedly met Du Bian.Judging from Du Bian's appearance, he obviously just came back from a mission.

After saying hello to Li You and Captain Lei, he quickly left.

Watching Du Bian's leaving back, Li You and Captain Lei fell silent at the same time.Ever since Du Bian regained his memory during that trip to the Demon World, he has completely changed.

It is no longer the decadent look of the past, and it is no longer late for full attendance, but devoted wholeheartedly to the work of the Witch Countermeasures Bureau.

The lazy dog ​​who used to be the laziest in the strategy bureau has now become a person who is far more desperate than Captain Lei.He is fighting every moment, trying to drive out every monster and witch he encounters.

According to the seagull brothers who partnered with him, whenever he killed a monster or witch, Du Bian would always lower his eyelids and say softly: "Please rest in peace, my compatriots."

Li You and Captain Lei naturally understood why Du Bian did this.Because he always has deep regrets in his heart, because he failed to keep the cherished world.

And now, he wants to make up for the regret through his desperate efforts.

"It turns out that a person can become so fast." Seagull Adi said softly.

After finishing his work in the Witch Countermeasure Bureau, Li You drove back home as usual.And Bai Qiuyue returned home as usual, cooking for him.

While eating, Bai Qiuyue glanced at Li You, and couldn't help saying softly.

"Ayou, shall we have a baby?"

"Huh?" After hearing this, Li You's hand holding the chopsticks froze, and he couldn't help being taken aback.

For a moment, he was full of thoughts.

Have a baby with the one you love?It's not that he hasn't thought about it.It's just that he has a lot of worries in his heart.

Bringing a child into the world you live in is the most anticipated thing as a parent.But if it is a world that may be destroyed in the future, this is a kind of suffering for parents.

Li You often worries about this.

Bai Qiuyue clearly understood Li You's thoughts, and gently held his hand.

"Ayou, no matter what, we must have hope for the future." She looked into Li You's eyes seriously and said softly. "If we don't even look forward to the future in our hearts, nothing can be changed."

Li You immediately fell into silence.

After a long time, a soft smile appeared on his face.

"You're right." He nodded slightly, and squeezed Bai Qiuyue's hand tightly. "Just listen to you."

In the early morning of the next day, Li Youyou opened his eyes, while Bai Qiuyue snuggled up to him, holding his arm with one hand, with a sweet smile on his sleeping face.

After looking gently at his wife for a few moments, Li You glanced at the dark sky by the window, and couldn't help but whisper.

"The weather is too dark. Could it be that I got up too early?"

Picking up the phone casually and looking at it, he was stunned.

The time displayed on the phone is 8:36 in the morning.According to common sense, the sky should have been completely bright.

Quickly put down the phone and went out of the window, Li You looked at the sky outside, it was still extremely dark there.

"What the hell is going on." He couldn't help muttering.

Without hesitation, he immediately set off to the Witch Countermeasures Bureau.

When Li You rushed to the Witch Countermeasure Bureau, almost everyone in the countermeasure bureau was present, and everyone was busy.

Captain Lei led Li You to the combat hall.

"What happened to our city?" Li You couldn't help asking.

Captain Lei shook his head upon hearing this.

"No, it's not just our city," he said softly. "In fact, the whole world is plunged into darkness."

After thinking carefully for a while, Li You realized something, and a drop of cold sweat fell on his forehead.

"Did the sun disappear?" he couldn't help asking.

Li You's judgment is very simple and clear.

If only a city fell into darkness, then it could be considered that a high-ranking witch was doing the tricks. In fact, this was no surprise in Li You's eyes.

But right now, the whole world is plunged into darkness, and people will immediately think of the sun disappearing.After all, the sun is the earth's main light source.

"No, the sun still exists." Captain Lei shook his head. "Our satellite has sent us the detection data, and the data shows that the sun is normal."

"Then that means, the light emitted by the sun to the blue star is blocked by some invisible force?" Li You said directly, "Or it's some root witch who is causing trouble!"

While starting to investigate the cause, Li You and Captain Lei participated in an emergency network meeting held by high-level human beings all over the world.

During the period, a scientist explained the impact of the loss of light in the entire world.

"The current situation is not much better than the disappearance of the sun." He said straight to the point, "After the whole world loses light, the heat will gradually disappear. Plants will die because they cannot perform photosynthesis. Blue Star's oxygen supply chain It will also be suspended at this point, because it will trigger a series of vicious chain reactions."

"So how much time do we have at most?" a senior executive asked.

After a long silence, the scientist responded.

"A month at most," he replied. "During this month, due to the lack of light and heat, the temperature will drop to tens of degrees below zero. The rivers and lakes on land will start to freeze, and the surface will be completely covered with snow. Blue Star will become unsuitable for life Existence. Even the entire food chain will completely collapse."

When everyone fell silent after hearing his words, the scientist spoke with difficulty.

"The extinction of human civilization will be inevitable. Almost all living things will die. Only microorganisms can survive."

After being silent, everyone turned their attention to one place, where Li You was sitting.

As the only seventh-order magical girl in the world, they can only pin their hopes on Li You.Li You naturally understood what they meant, and slowly stood up and nodded.

"Leave it to me," he said softly.

After the online meeting ended, Captain Lei continued with his work, while Li You cast a recovery spell on the sky.

To his surprise, the recovery spell really had an effect on the dark sky.Under its influence, the sky became bright again, and Li You even saw the dazzling sun from the sky.

But that was only a few minutes.

A few minutes later, the sky became dark again.

Li You quickly told Captain Lei about his discovery.

"I sensed that there is a vast amount of magical power in the sky. It is obvious that a certain root witch is causing trouble. It is she who has plunged the whole world into darkness." He said softly.

"Then do you have a way to find her?" Captain Lei asked.

Li You shook his head upon hearing this.

"Just now, after confirming that there is a witch, I cast my detection spell on the whole world, but I still haven't found her trace."

At this moment, an operator hurried over.

"It's not good!" He said quickly, "Another city just disappeared out of thin air."

Captain Lei and Li You looked at each other, and their expressions became serious.

Soon they learned the general situation. Like the previous city, this city also disappeared instantly in the darkness.

Both the city buildings and the people living in the city disappeared without a trace, leaving only a bare land.

Li You then transformed and opened the portal to go to the place where the city disappeared.

Because of the darkness of the sky, his eyes were also pitch black.Casting his magic power casually, Li You ignited red flames around him, lighting up the place where he was.

Immediately afterwards, he carefully explored the surroundings, looking for any suspicious traces.However, he always got nothing.

In the end, Li You had to leave through the portal in disappointment.

After he left, the burning red flames in this area suddenly trembled.Immediately afterwards, more and more darkness enveloped these red flames.

Then, there was the sound of chewing slowly in the darkness.

After two days, Li You and the others still hadn't made any progress.During this period, more than a dozen cities disappeared out of thin air.

Even the Witch of the World and the Witch of Time still have no clue.But everyone in the Witch Countermeasures Bureau was at a loss, and Du Bian disappeared out of thin air.

For this purpose, Captain Lei found his partner Seagull Brothers.

"What the hell is going on here?" he couldn't help asking.

"Actually, I don't know either." Seagull Adi showed a troubled look on his face, "Du Bian just told us that he seemed to have made a new discovery, so he left in a hurry."

Captain Lei shook his head upon hearing this.

"Oh, really."

People all over the world began to panic as they fell into endless darkness.They gradually realize that they are not far from death.

In order to track down the witch, Li You set up an enchantment all over the world, and always pay attention to the movements in the enchantment.

If a city disappears, he will notice it instantly.

A day later, there was indeed a movement from the barrier.Li You, who was just about to go home from get off work, quickly took out the soul gem, briefly explained the situation to the surrounding operators, and then opened the portal to go to the place where the barrier was abnormal.

When he stepped out of the portal, what appeared before him was a small city dotted with lights.

Although the light has been lost, people can still use electricity for lighting.But the fear of the dark has been deeply rooted in everyone's heart.

Looking at the city in front of him, Li You frowned deeply.

He sensed an extremely strong breath of death.After regaining his senses, he immediately cast the sound transmission spell and issued a warning to the people in the city.

"This city is very dangerous, please evacuate this city immediately!"

The citizens in the small city were very puzzled by the sudden warning, not understanding what was going on.

Only some people chose to believe Li You's words and drove away immediately.

Li You used his magic power to protect the city and looked around nervously.He believed that the witch must be nearby, and she would definitely make a move.

But the problem was that he didn't feel any aura or magic power from that witch at all, which made him feel even more uneasy.

A few seconds later, the magic power he cast was instantly swallowed.While Li You was in astonishment, boundless darkness enveloped the small city in front of him.The lights in the city were extinguished one by one, and then completely plunged into darkness.

When Li You quickly lit up the sky with Hongyan, he was shocked to find that the whole city had disappeared without a trace.

"This..." His pupils widened instantly.

We must know that Li You's reaction was also very fast. The moment the city fell into darkness, he quickly turned his magic power into red flames to light up the sky.

The interval is only a few seconds, but I didn't expect it to be too late.

In the next second, the burning red flames in the sky were also submerged in endless darkness.As if he had noticed something, Li You settled down and listened carefully in the dark.

Soon, he heard a small voice.

It was a very light, very light chewing sound.

Apparently someone was eating in the dark.

Without hesitation, Li You broke out the magic power in his body and turned it into raging red flames, completely lighting up the area he was in.

It was at this moment that he finally saw clearly the guy who was eating.

It was a young woman surrounded by countless darkness.The young woman was surrounded by countless darkness, and her figure could not be seen clearly except for her face.

Li You looked at the young woman in front of him calmly, his eyes narrowed slightly at the scene that appeared at this moment.

At this moment, she is holding a small burning ball in the palm of her own hands, lowering her head and eating slowly, bite by bite.

After seeing the small ball in her hand clearly, Li You couldn't help but fell into silence.

Because it was the whole city that was crumpled into a ball, and the burning flame was Li You's red flame.This young woman obviously used some means to crumble the whole city into a ball, shrunk it up in her palm, and casually ate Li You's Hongyan.

Obviously, those cities were also eaten by her in this way.

As she ate, a contented expression appeared on the young woman's face.

"It's really delicious," she said softly. "Maybe you should try it too."

After a long silence, Li You said leisurely.

"So what kind of witch are you? Night witch? Or gourmet witch?"

The young woman was not in a hurry to answer when she heard it, she just ate the city in her palm slowly, until there was not even a single residue left.

After eating, she licked her lips with satisfaction, then looked at Li You.

"I am a witch born according to the rules of the day of reckoning." She said quietly, "and my name is darkness!"

After hearing this, Li You instantly became restless.

"Is it the Dark Witch?" He couldn't help murmuring in a daze.

Among the many root qualities, darkness is the thing that human beings fear most, and it is also something that accompanies them all their lives.When born into this world, everyone opened their eyes and regained sight from the incomparable darkness.And when they die, everyone will close their eyes and fall into endless darkness.

People always have a natural fear of darkness, because darkness means the unknown, and the unknown is the most frightening thing.

Of the five senses, loss of vision is the thing most people fear the most.Because this means that they cannot observe everything around them and cannot know what they will face.

The reason why human beings are afraid of space is also because space itself is in the boundless darkness.Space is vast, dark and deep, and no one knows what lies in the depths of space.

Just hearing the name of darkness, Li You already understood the strength of the dark witch.

He took a deep breath, and then prepared to do it.

At this moment, the Dark Witch looked at him calmly, and said softly to him: "Before you do it, do you mind having a good talk with me?"

Li You was stunned when he heard it.

"Let's talk about it," he murmured, "What do you mean?"

At the same time, Du Bian, who had disappeared for a long time, was slowly walking in the darkness, holding something in his arms.Gently hugging the things in his arms, he couldn't help saying softly: "It really is like this, luckily I got it."

Under Li You's hesitant gaze, the Dark Witch spoke slowly.

"I already knew what I am." She looked at her hand, "I come from what you call the Demon World, and I was once a magical girl."

Looking up at the sky, her expression gradually became melancholy.

"It was only later that my world was destroyed, and my soul followed my companions and countless humans to come here"

Li You also had a complex look on his face when he heard it.

"Yeah, do you know what you are?" he whispered.

The Dark Witch took a deep look at Li You, and slowly stretched out her hand.

"I am bound by the day of reckoning, I cannot act according to my own will, I must follow its will to destroy your world." She said softly, "But now your world still has room."

"Room?" Li You frowned upon hearing this.

"To put it simply, as long as all of you are willing to become my familiars, I will create a brand new dark world in my enchantment." The dark witch said word by word, "You already know my level Right? I am the root witch of the seventh level, and I can do this completely."

"So you want all of us to live in your dark world as demons?" Li You said softly.

"Yes." The Dark Witch nodded, "Compared to the destruction of the world, this is a better choice."

Li You smiled softly when he heard this, and said in a low voice.

"But I don't think it's a good choice."

As he spoke, raging red flames ignited all over his body, reflecting the darkness around him.

The Dark Witch frowned unhappily when she saw it.

"Then die," she said.

In the boundless darkness, the seventh-order root witch and the seventh-order magical girl launched an earth-shattering decisive battle.

Casting his magic power casually, Li You simultaneously invoked the four elements of ice, fire, light and darkness, and launched a spell bombardment at the dark witch.

Wherever the bombing passed, the darkness that originally spread and grew between the heaven and the earth was destroyed without a trace.The Dark Witch frowned when she saw it.

"Can you call four elements at the same time?" She murmured, "So, you are a guy with the qualifications of a legendary magical girl."

As she spoke, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"But you can't kill me."

Soon Li You realized that something was wrong. He could indeed cause a lot of damage to the Dark Witch.But in the next second, the Dark Witch will instantly recover.

And her magic is boundless.

"Darkness is my origin, and I can draw boundless magic power from the darkness." The Dark Witch said lightly, "Even if you kill me, I can still be resurrected from a dark corner of the world."

"When I was born, the destruction of your world was already a foregone conclusion." She said coldly.

Li You didn't pay attention to her, but instantly transformed all three elements of ice, fire, and darkness into dark elements, which directly enveloped the Dark Witch's body.

Immediately afterwards, he took a deep breath and performed the seventh-order sealing technique.

At this time, the Dark Witch also realized that something was wrong, and she became panicked.Because the seventh-order sealing technique Li You used was composed of dark elements, which belonged to the same type as her magic power with darkness as its origin.At this moment, the dark elements in the seventh-order sealing technique are continuously absorbing the magic power of the dark witch, and using this to strengthen the technique.

A ferocious expression appeared on the face of the Dark Witch who came back to her senses.

"It's really you, you have already prepared to use this method to deal with me, right?" She said angrily, and then desperately cast her magic power to destroy the sealing technique.

Li You remained silent and continued to perform the sealing technique.

Accompanied by an extremely unwilling scream, the Dark Witch was finally completely successfully sealed.

After the operation was completed, Li You breathed a sigh of relief.At this moment, he was covered in cold sweat and his body was exhausted.

In order to seal the Dark Witch, he has gone all out.Fortunately, it finally succeeded.

With the Dark Witch sealed, the sky regained its clarity.Li You, who looked up at the sky, nodded slightly.

"Report, the Dark Witch has been successfully expelled." He whispered into the headset.

"Well, the sky on our side has completely recovered." Captain Lei nodded sincerely, "It's really hard for you, Li You, hurry back now."

"Well, I'll be right back." Li You nodded.

While all the operators were cheering and celebrating the success of the battle, Captain Mine, who had a smile on his face, seemed to realize something, and a few drops of sweat dripped from his forehead.

"Li You! Li You!" He immediately roared into the headset.

"What's the matter, Captain Lei?" Li You, who was planning to use his magic power to create a portal, stopped his movements and asked suspiciously.

Captain Lei said in a loud voice.

"careful!"

In the next second, Li You's body was cut by countless dark sharp blades, and countless blood gushed out instantly.When he was caught off guard and suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood, the whole world was once again shrouded in darkness.

Then came a soft laugh from the darkness.
