Chapter 252 Watcher of the World (6K)

Looking at the kitten in her arms, the human witch fell into deep thought.Then she looked up at Li You.

"Did it understand me?" she said. "If you don't understand, you will be in trouble. I have paid so much and if I can't get an equal return, it will trouble me a lot."

Li You just smiled silently when he heard it.

"No need for equal returns," he said softly.

"What? What do you mean?" the human witch asked.

"The emotion of giving cannot be measured." Li You replied, "No one in this world can truly achieve a complete balance between giving and receiving emotionally, and the same is true between pets and owners."

"Really? This is really troublesome." The human witch said and looked at the kitten in her arms. "Since this is the case, in order to prevent me from losing too much, I'd better pay a small amount of emotion and thought to take care of it first."

Li You smiled sincerely when he saw the human witch holding the kitten in her arms seriously, taking out the ham sausage and feeding it gently with one hand.

"Love is always more meaningful than domination and destruction."

The human witch was only silent when she heard the words.

After a long time, she whispered, "Hi, human."

"What's wrong? Is there anything else?" Li You asked.

"I don't want to dominate all human beings for the time being." The human witch said, "You don't need to inform those high-level human beings for the time being."

"Well, good." Li You nodded. "Would you like me to arrange a place for you and provide you with the things your cat needs?"

The human witch nodded upon hearing this.

"Of course," she said.

As she spoke, she looked at Li You with some inexplicable emotions on her face.

"That. Thank you," she said.

"fine."

Under the urgent arrangement of the Witch Countermeasure Bureau, the human witch soon had a small house of her own.In the small house, there are cat houses, cat litter boxes, cat food and cat climbing frames.

The human witch happily took the kitten to live in her small house. After everything was ready, the countermeasure bureau officers left quickly.

When Li You was about to leave, the human witch hugged the kitten and said to him, "If I need help with anything, I will still come to you."

"En." Li You nodded, and then left.

When he left the human witch's residence and returned to the car, Captain Lei was already sitting in his car.He looked at Li You, and said softly, "How sure are you this time?"

"I don't know." Li You shook his head.Recalling the appearance of the human witch hugging the cat, he said softly. "But I always feel that this time it should have a good ending."

In this way, the crisis caused by the human witch ended temporarily.

A few days later, Li You, who was staying in the office, received a call from the human witch.

"Hello, I'm Li You. What can you do?" he asked.

The human witch on the other end of the phone hesitated for a while, and finally made up her mind and said, "Human, I want to ask you something."

"Speak." Li You replied patiently.

"Excuse me. How can I raise a group of cats?" the human witch said hesitantly.

Li You was stunned for a while upon hearing this.After recovering, he said to the mobile phone: "Please wait a moment, I will come to your house in a moment."

When Li You rushed to the door of the human witch's house and knocked on the door lightly, there were chaotic footsteps coming from inside the door.A few seconds later, the door slowly opened, and the human witch wiped the sweat from her forehead, looking a little busy and tired.

Li You glanced past her and looked behind her.

I saw a group of cats jumping around in the room, and every cat was meowing and barking, which seemed extraordinarily noisy.After hearing these meows, the human witch turned her head to look at them angrily, and said displeasedly: "Hey, cats, you are really noisy!"

After hearing her voice, the cats were silent for a while, then meowed again.

After changing into his slippers and sitting on the sofa, Li You looked around at the cats in the room, and turned to look at the human witch.

"What's going on? Why are there so many more cats all of a sudden?" he asked.

The human witch's eyes flickered when she heard the words, and she said with her hands on her hips.

"When I went out these days, I saw these cats wandering around. I thought they were a bit pitiful, so I brought them back." She said, frowning: "But these cats don't appreciate my kindness at all, they always meow. Meowing indiscriminately, and from time to time they keep leaning on me, and I can't even drive away!"

Hearing this, Li You just smiled silently.

Seeing him like this, the human witch was silent for a while, and then said softly: "Hey, human, I want to kill all human beings again."

"Why?" Li You asked.

"These cats are all abandoned by humans, I feel very angry." The human witch replied.

"I see." Li You nodded slightly. "So when you adopted them, arranged them a house, watched them drink milk and meow at you. What kind of emotions did you have in your heart?"

After hearing what he said, the human witch lowered her head and fell into silence.After a long time, she spoke softly.

"Very satisfied." After finishing speaking, she looked at the cats around her and introduced them to Li You one by one with her fingers. "They all have their own names. I gave them my own names. This one is called Sanhua, this one is called Chaji, and this one is called Leaf. They are all unique to me."

"Yeah." Li You smiled and nodded.

Looking at the human witch in front of him, he said lightly: "Actually, you never need to dominate all human beings. You just want to have an equal relationship. But you who were just born into this world don't know what to do, and you are afraid of yourself. fail."

The human witch was just silent when she heard the words. She didn't look into Li You's eyes, but looked at her cats.

"Equal relationship?" She repeated Li You's words, her eyes flickering.

Then she realized something and turned to look at Li You.

"Hey humans, my cats will all die in the future, right?" She hesitated and asked in an anxious tone.

Seeing Li You nodded, a somewhat inexplicable melancholy appeared on her face.

"If only cats could live forever like me," she said to herself.

"I don't need eternal life." Li You replied, "For them, as long as you can accompany them for a lifetime, they are actually very satisfied. The world of cats is actually very small, and they only have you."

The human witch was startled when she heard the words, and a smile appeared on her face.

"You have behaved to my satisfaction, Human," she said, "and in return I will grant you and your family eternal life."

Li You was taken aback when he heard the words, then shook his head.

"Why did you refuse? Do you think this still doesn't satisfy you?" the human witch asked.

Compared with before, she is no longer indifferent and aloof at the beginning, but shows a kind attitude.

"I don't need eternal life. I am very satisfied with my current life." Li You replied softly, "If you just miss the life in front of you, hold on to it, and want to own and hold it, it will make you I get very, very tired."

The human witch nodded upon hearing this.

Looking around at the things in the house, as well as the large pile of cat litter boxes and cat food provided by the Witch Countermeasures Bureau, she stroked her chin and thought for a while, then said, "Aren't these very expensive and need a lot of money?"

"Probably." Li You nodded. "I don't know the exact amount, but you don't have to worry. The Witch Countermeasure Bureau will provide you with a steady stream of money to spend."

However, the human witch just shook her head.

"I don't feel good about it," she replied. "It makes me feel like I'm getting something for nothing."

"Then try to go to work." Li You said, "In this way, you can earn money yourself and support yourself and the cats."

While the human witch was thinking, he did not forget to remind: "But if this is the case, you won't be able to accompany the cats all the time."

"Understood." The human witch replied, "Let me think about it."

After that, another quiet week passed.

The human witch finally decided to go to work. At her request, the Witch Countermeasure Bureau gave her an identity document and arranged a job.

When Li You was driving home one day, he saw a human witch waiting at the bus stop.At this time, the human witch was wearing work clothes, with a tired expression on her face.

After seeing Li You driving near her and rolling down the car window, she froze for a moment, then waved to Li You.

"Come on, I'll take you home." Li You said.

"Going to work is really tiring and boring, and sometimes I have to work overtime." In the car, the human witch frowned and said.

Then she seemed to remember something again, and the expression on her face softened.

"Although this is the case, when I come home from work every day, the cats will always meow and meow to greet me. Even if I arrange food and milk for them, they still come to my side and keep meowing. Ken leave."

"For the first time, I feel that I am dependent on them." She stroked her chest with her hand and said softly.

Li You was silent when he heard the words, and he glanced at the human witch through the rearview mirror of the car.At this moment, the human witch has completely lost the indifferent look she had when she first met her, and her face is full of moving expressions. Instead, she looks more like a human being.

At this moment, she suddenly spoke.

"Thank you."

"Why do you want to thank you?" Li You asked.

"If I hadn't met you back then, maybe I would have gone on another path." The human witch said lightly, "I would never have met my cats, and I would never have felt that life would be like this. Significant."

"I didn't help you anything, it's all a choice you made in your heart." Li You said softly as he turned the steering wheel. "After all, when that kitten came towards you, didn't you pick it up yourself?"

The human witch was stunned when she heard the words, and a smile appeared on her face.

After seeing her appearance through the car rearview mirror, Li You lowered his eyelids and fell into silence.

"It really looks like a human being." He thought silently. "No, in fact, she was originally a human being, but she later became a witch."

When Li You and the human witch returned to her house, as soon as the door was opened, all the cats in the house rushed out, meowing non-stop around her.

The human witch leaned down to stroke her cats, with a somewhat impatient expression on her face.

"Okay, okay, I just went to work as usual." She said, "Why are you so anxious? It's not that I don't want you anymore."

Having said that, her eyes were full of smiles.

After closing the door with Li You and returning to the house, she looked seriously into Li You's eyes.

"You are right, human. Love is always more meaningful than domination and destruction." She said lightly, "If I had chosen to dominate and enslave these cats, they would not treat me like they are now."

"I'm very happy with my life now." She spread her hands towards Li You, "For this reason, I decided to give back to all human beings, and I will let them get rid of all pain and disease, and get rid of all bad things .”

Hearing this, Li You just shook his head lightly.

"Why did you refuse?" the human witch asked.

Li You replied lightly.

"The reason why human beings are human is that they are not perfect, not pure, and have their own shortcomings and deficiencies. Trying to make up for them sometimes doesn't help."

"It will be sad, it will be painful, it will choose to sink, and sometimes it will move on." He said with a smile on his face, "This is also an incurable characteristic of us humans."

The human witch nodded slowly upon hearing this.

"That's right." She said softly.

"If there's nothing else, I'll go back first." Li You said and stood up, "My wife and daughter are still waiting for me at home."

"Hmm." The human witch nodded.

Just when Li You was about to open the door to leave, she looked at Li You's figure and said in a low voice, "If my attitude hadn't been that way when we first met, we should have become friends by now."

Li You stopped his steps when he heard it, and gently withdrew his hand holding the doorknob.

"Being friends or something," he whispered, "is not as difficult as you think."

"Is it."

"No matter when, as long as you are willing to work hard, you will eventually get the equal relationship you expect." Li You turned to look at the human witch. "Don't think that what you did before is bad, because many human beings are like you. They long for equal relationships from others, but they are afraid that they will not do well and that they will lose, so they can only hold on tightly. Don't let go."

"I know it's bad to do this, but I don't want to let it go. This is also a terrible and incurable weakness that we humans have."

"Is that so?" the human witch murmured.

"You can make many friends in the future, as long as you are willing to work hard and take a step forward." Li You said.

The human witch was silent and lowered her head.

She looked around at the cat beside her, and slowly bent down.

"No, I just need to have cats by my side." She said softly, "Being friends with humans... still sounds a little bad."

Li You smiled silently, then opened the door and left.

The days passed quietly like this, and a month later, Li You received a call from a human witch.

After listening to what she said, he was stunned for a while, and immediately said, "I'll be right over."

When he came to the human witch's home to see her, he saw that the human witch was thin and extremely emaciated.Feeling the breath of a human witch for a while, Li You frowned.

The human witch's magic power has been exhausted at this moment, and her physical condition has become so bad that it cannot be worsened. Time is running out.

"What's wrong with you? What happened these days?" He couldn't help asking.

The human witch replied indifferently: "I am a witch who descended following the will of the Day of Reckoning, and I shoulder the responsibility of destroying mankind. But because I refused to perform the task, the Day of Reckoning began to deprive me of my magic power and characteristics." , power and life."

"If I can't pass it, I will die. But because I have been stripped of everything, all human beings will no longer be implicated in my death, so this is a good thing for you humans."

As she spoke, she swayed and almost couldn't stand up.

Li You, who came back to his senses, immediately hugged her and helped her to sit on the sofa.He began to try to deliver magic power into the body of the human witch.

This method did work, and the human witch's complexion improved slightly.

Looking at the human witch in front of him, Li You couldn't help but whispered, "Why do you do this?"

The human witch looked up at him with a smile on her face.She stretched out her hand towards the cats crawling beside her, stroking their fur gently.

"I've been thinking about what you said these days." She lowered her eyelids and said, "Love is always more meaningful than domination and destruction, giving is far better than plundering. I originally took the responsibility of destroying all mankind I was born, but after experiencing these things, I found that killing people is very difficult for me."

Li You nodded and sat down beside her silently.

"We'll take care of your cats," he said softly.

The human witch just shook her head with a smile.

"It's because of me." She said, "I'm not surprised that you have such thoughts, and I even appreciate you. But there are many, many stray cats and dogs in this world. be taken care of."

Li You was slightly taken aback when he heard it, and then lowered his head.

"sorry."

"You are not wrong, why apologize to me?" said the human witch. "Humans, in the short time I have left, take me to have a real look at this city where you have lived for more than 20 years."

"Okay." Li You nodded.

In the next few days, Li You drove the human witch and her cats around the city.On the last day, he brought the human witch to his home.

Gently took Li Yingxi into Bai Qiuyue's arms, and the human witch watched her silently.

"It's so nice to be hugged by a stranger without crying or fussing," she said.

Bai Qiuyue just smiled when she heard the words.

"The child is very well-behaved now," she said softly.

The human witch nodded silently, and continued to look at Li Yingxi in her arms.

"This child will become very strong in the future." She said to Li You. "Are you humans trying to use her to deal with us witches?"

Hearing this, Li You just shook his head.

"Whether Yingxi is now or in the future, she will only have one identity, and that is my daughter." He said, "My wife and I will love her wholeheartedly, take care of her and grow up slowly, for her Hold on to the future."

The human witch looked at Bai Qiuyue, and Bai Qiuyue nodded gently.She stepped forward and gently stroked Bai Qiuyue's lower abdomen, where a little life was also conceived.

"Life is wonderful," she whispered.

At the last moment, Li You followed the human witch back to her little room.Her cats noticed something at this moment, and stopped meowing, but came over and surrounded her quietly.

The human witch reached out and gently stroked the heads of each cat, softly calling out their names.

"Sanhua, Qiaji, Ye Zi." She said, with a smile on her face, "I really appreciate your company these days. But I'm sorry that I can't be by your side in the future."

"My world is actually not as vast as other people's, it's just very small." She said softly, "But with you here, I have never felt lonely in this world."

Turning to look at Li You, the human witch realized something and smiled at him.

"Speaking of which I haven't asked your name, Human," she said. "What's your name?"

"Li You." Li You replied.

"It's such an ordinary name." The human witch shook her head.

Hearing this, Li You just smiled dumbly and scratched his head lightly.

"A lot of people say that," he said.

Finally, the human witch slowly closed her eyes.Her body also slowly turned into black air and collapsed.After seeing this scene, Li You felt inexplicable emotions in his heart.

The crisis caused by the human witch ended quietly.

The Witch Countermeasure Bureau has properly arranged for her cats. They have formulated a series of plans and arranged for a specialist to care for small animals to ensure that every cat can grow old peacefully.

"Under our care, every cat is living well." The commissioner said to Captain Lei when reporting the situation, "It's just that they occasionally look up at the sky together, with inexplicable emotions in their eyes."

Captain Lei was just silent when he heard the words.

"They are probably missing their master." He said softly. "After all, she was the most important person in their world."

On the rooftop of the city, Yuumi and Li You drank wine while looking at the city below them.

After finishing the wine in her hand, Yuumi turned her head to look at Li You, with a soft look in her eyes.

"Tired?" it asked.

Li You just shook his head lightly.

He stared into the distance and said softly.

"I will always be the guardian of mankind, watching the world until the end."
