Superman's Ending Manual

Chapter 297 Family Event 3: Witch Night (XI)

In the corridor in front of her, the boy with red eyes was lying on the ground like a spider, crawling towards her at a very fast speed.

Seeing this scene, the pupils of the Lost Witch shrank slightly. At this moment, the night came, the setting sun fell deeply below the horizon, and the whole city was swallowed by darkness in an instant. There was only a trace of red left in the world, but it was not the afterglow of dusk, but the madness in the boy's eyes.

It was like... a red tide floating on the sea.

At this moment, the Lost Witch actually felt... some long-forgotten emotions for the first time in a long time.

And she, who was most familiar with all kinds of emotions, took a whole second to understand the name of this strange emotion she felt...

That was:

-"Fear".

That's right, as a witch who was best at manipulating other people's emotions, and had lived for hundreds of years, she thought she had become numb and indifferent to all emotions, but at this moment, the Lost Witch actually felt an unknown fear.

In an instant, the Lost Witch raised her hand. Since Nezha's Chaos Heaven Ribbon did not restrict her, she could still exert some of her power despite the special structure of this spiritual space. So she created a barrier in front of her to block the boy who was crawling towards her like a spider.

"What on earth is this..."

Through a barrier, the Lost Witch stared at the boy with bloodshot eyes in a daze.

He seemed to contain the most chaotic, mixed, and violent emotions that humans have ever developed. It is better to say that this thing can no longer be called a human being, but a pure mixture of negative emotions.

To describe it in terms of painting, it should be a messy ball of wool-like lines, but at this time it presents a human form, maintaining a human form in this spiritual space, which is the most incredible thing for her.

The next moment, in the endless darkness, the Lost Witch felt rows of neat eyes from the side again.

It was like a multi-eyed spider suddenly opened all its eyes, hiding in the bushes and staring at you motionlessly.

The Lost Witch was horrified and had goose bumps all over her body.

She turned her head suddenly and saw that at this time, a group of figures were lined up by the window of the classroom, staring at her with their peripheral vision.

And Ke Mingye just sat quietly among them, like a statue, peaceful and stable.

In the classroom, everyone gathered around him, just as the children naturally gathered around the head of the family.

Ke Mingye lowered his eyes and sat on the desk calmly, the remaining red of the sunset reflected on his pale cheeks.

At this moment, the boy in the hospital gown who had been leaning against the wall in the corridor and had been reading silently suddenly turned the book, his fingers rubbing the pages, rustling.

"Ke Mingye is not afraid of anyone's death." He said softly amid the sound of the pages.

"What do you mean?" asked the Lost Witch.

"Because all the people who died in front of him, all the people he once cared about, will eventually return to him in another way, so he is not afraid of any form of death..." The boy in the hospital gown paused, "... just like her."

As he said this, his eyes looked inside the classroom and landed on the silhouette of Stro.

"I don't understand." The Lost Witch said.

"It means that Ke Mingye allowed himself to destroy everything from the bottom of his heart, and then... there was this."

Like a machine without emotions, the boy in the hospital gown spoke in a calm tone, and then raised his hand and pointed at the "monster" crawling on the ground with red eyes.

"So what?"

The Lost Witch asked.

"So... Ke Mingye will not be restricted, it is better to say that he can completely not set restrictions for himself."

The boy in the hospital gown said slowly.

"One day when he gives up struggling, he will accept the dull emotions in his heart, and then very calmly...kill everyone in a way that is taken for granted. Because he firmly believes...this is the center of the world, and all the people he cares about will eventually return here. No one has ever died, they just returned to where they should return...In his eyes, this is not a grave, nor is it some kind of alternative memory museum, nor is it a cold storage for storing corpses, but some kind of inevitable 'end point'."

After a slight pause, he raised his eyes from the page and moved his eyes to glance out the window.

"In the end, this teaching building, even this welfare home, this city, this world will be crowded with countless people, like a family. And he is the pillar of this family...His spirit will not fall, but will support the operation of this world like a symbol until death."

The Lost Witch was silent for a moment, raised her eyes and scanned the people in the classroom.

In the darkness, the icy blue eyes of the girl in the Christmas dress stared at her; the eyes of the red and blue figure stared at her from behind the mask; the dark and empty eyes behind the ghost face of the diviner seemed to be still in mid-air, also facing her.

Across a window, their gazes were so peaceful.

It was as if... looking at a corpse.

When the Lost Witch's eyes swept across the faces in the window and gradually touched Stro, the red-haired girl sitting in the wheelchair was stunned for a moment, then slyly raised the corners of her mouth, looked at her with her peripheral vision, and gently waved at her with her cheek in her hand.

The Lost Witch retracted her gaze and said slowly:

"He is really a lunatic...a complete lunatic...but it seems that you are not on their side?"

She knew very well that since the two personalities in the corridor even Ke Mingye himself was afraid of... and had to put them aside, there was no doubt that the weakness of this spiritual world was placed in these two personalities. .

This means that as long as she convinces them, she will have a chance to defeat Ke Mingye's spiritual world.

"Don't you feel sad when they exclude you from the classroom and stay with this monster in the corridor?"

As she said that, the Lost Witch lowered her eyes and looked at the red-eyed boy outside the barrier, with a trace of disgust flashing in her eyes.

The boy in the hospital gown was silent, lowered his eyes, and continued to read his book.

At this moment, the spiritual barrier arranged by the Lost Witch was about to be broken. The monster with red eyes opened its mouth and gnawed at her barrier with its teeth. The cracks spread out bit by bit, and the monster's face was also blocked. The world is distorted.

"What an out-and-out monster..."

The Lost Witch murmured to herself, with disgust that could not be hidden in her tone.

Then she slowly raised her head, turned her face and looked at Ke Mingye in the classroom again.

Ke Mingye gently rubbed Little Red Riding Hood's golden hair, and then raised his eyes slightly.

Through the classroom window, he and the Lost Witch looked at each other.

Using her peripheral vision to watch the spider-like boy getting closer and closer, the Lost Witch did not show any fear or panic, but instead slightly opened her mouth.

Amber eyes stared at Ke Mingye.

She knew that through this piece of glass, she could not hear the voices in the classroom; similarly, the personalities in the classroom could not hear what she was saying.

So, the Lost Witch opened her mouth and said silently to Ke Mingye through lip language: "It's useless... Even if I can't shake your spiritual world, you are still no match for me in the real world. As long as I leave here, you will be nothing." Turtle in a urn."

Ke Mingye looked back at her calmly.

His lips moved slightly, responding to her silently.

"Really...then why don't you go out and take a look at what's going on with the 'reality' you talk about now?"

Hearing this, the Lost Witch was slightly startled.

Although she had doubts about Ke Mingye's words and thought he was just bluffing, the barrier she had set up to stop the red-eyed boy was on the verge of being broken, so she no longer continued to compete with Ke Mingye in this ghost place. He instantly left his spiritual world and returned to the real world.

At this moment, in reality.

Inside the statue space, the surrounding light was dim, with only the light of a candle swaying slightly.

The Lost Witch slowly opened her eyes, and then was slightly startled. At this moment, huge, wriggling tentacles with a dark halo were surrounding her body. They were tightly sealed. Only her head was covered. Allowed to be exposed and breathe a little.

Staring at those weird knotted tentacles, the Lost Witch was stunned for a while, and quickly identified whose handiwork they were:

——The Sloth Witch.

"……Why?"

She murmured in astonishment and raised her eyes to look at Ke Mingye, who was collapsed on the ground, and Little Red Riding Hood, who was standing there with empty eyes. Their eyes slowly regained their luster.

Immediately afterwards, footsteps came from the shadows at the entrance, and a figure wearing a dark purple broken dress and bat-shaped wings on the back came out.

She held a whip-shaped wand in her hand, with a strange light in her eyes, and the corners of her mouth curled up in the darkness, almost reaching her ears.

"If I have time, I really want to train you... Lost Witch."

Staring at the Lost Witch, the Sloth Witch spoke almost every word.

"traitor."

The Lost Witch stared at her face, her eyes gradually became colder, and she spat at her unwilling to be outdone.

However, no matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't get rid of the dim light tentacles wrapped around her body.

The dim light tentacle has the effect of suppressing magic power. It is a special attack for both magical girls and witches, so her ability is completely sealed at this time.

Even a witch who has lived for hundreds of years has just turned into a mortal in such a situation, an ordinary mortal.

The Sloth Witch protracted her voice and said jokingly: "How can you call me 'traitor'... Is there a possibility that I was never yours from the beginning?" Hearing this, the Lost Witch was stunned for a while. , then raised his amber eyes and looked at the blue owl with resentment.

"I see...the Sloth Witch is yours? You really have no plans left."

Blue Owl adjusted his helmet to make sure that Schnaian didn't see what was behind the mask, and then raised his head to look at the Lost Witch.

"Are you sure she is one of ours? Isn't she already unconscious?"

he said sarcastically.

"Isn't it?" The Lost Witch sneered.

Ke Mingye rolled his eyes and replied in his heart, to be precise, she is Kobe's person.

"Lost Witch, what are you talking about?"

The Sloth Witch held her face in her hands, licked her lips with a flushed face, and spoke slowly.

"It's just that I have wanted to train you witches for a long time. I have tried to train magical girls, but I have never tried to do anything to witches. Congratulations, you are about to become my first target. Let's enjoy it. ”

"Then she will be left to you to deal with, Miss Witch..." Blue Owl said to the Sloth Witch.

"Okay, Mr. Superhero, you really know your stuff. I thought I would have to fight you..."

The Sloth Witch responded happily, but never took her eyes away from the Lost Witch.

Listening to the conversation between the two, the Lost Witch was stunned for a while, then looked at the Sloth Witch, and then at the Blue Owl, and couldn't help but grit her teeth in anger, her face was shrouded in gloomy shadows, and every inch of her muscles was twitching slightly.

Her self-esteem was completely shattered at this moment.

Whether it was the spiritual world or the real world, she was completely defeated.

But fortunately... she has one last resort - rather, in fact, her mission has already been completed.

"It's useless. Ashes is destined to become a witch. And next, the altar inside the statue will sacrifice her as a witch, resurrecting the most powerful witch in history - the 'Witch of Jealousy'."

The Lost Witch grinned and looked at the Blue Owl as she spoke, "You can't possibly even calculate this, right? It's such a pity that you still couldn't save her in the end."

But when she finished speaking, she didn't see the reaction she wanted from the faces of Blue Owl and Little Red Riding Hood. Their eyes were very calm.

"Indeed, just like you said, I didn't calculate this, but one person did."

Blue Owl said.

"Who?" asked the Lost Witch.

"Xi Ziyue."

Blue Owl said this name, and then recalled a conversation a few days ago in his mind.

A few days ago, Black Judge and Blue Owl were in a conference room of the Alliance Building, confronting Xi Ziyue.

"I'm looking for someone...Magical Girl Ashes."

Blue Owl stared at Xi Ziyue and said this.

Xi Ziyue looked back at him and said slowly: "Although I don't know what your relationship is with Ashes, there is one thing I can tell you - I left two cards in the magical girl Ashes' magic book. Card."

“The first card can tell me where she is;

"The second card can 100% save her life when she encounters a life-threatening danger."

Ke Mingye came back to his senses, breathed a sigh of relief, and looked up at the altar from behind the blue owl mask.

It was precisely because of these two cards from Xi Ziyue that Ke Mingye was convinced that Bai Zini's life would not be threatened during this period, and thus spent these five days that were as long as a century.

He was willing to believe in Xi Ziyue and truly trusted her. Although this guy who is known as the "No. 1 Magical Girl in Two Thousand Years" is usually carefree, she has never let her down on key occasions, and Xi Ziyue did not disappoint him.

Just a few seconds later, the card Xi Ziyue left in Ashes' magic book played its intended role.

"...Xi Ziyue?"

The Lost Witch was slightly startled and turned her head suddenly.

Just when the dark cocoon of light spreading from the altar was about to completely cover the ashes, suddenly, a bright magic book flew up, and the pages of the book turned automatically and at high speed without wind.

Then it stopped on one of the pages.

Then, a magic card glowing with dark and gold intertwined light rose up from it.

A-level card magic card - "Shield of Floating Life".

The card turned into a strong light and shattered, like a rain of light falling. The sacred halo of dark and golden colors enveloped the girl in the Gothic skirt, and then the dark cocoon of light that had previously surrounded her body disappeared. Completely broken.

Immediately afterwards, the stone altar was destroyed and collapsed.

This also means that the ritual of using ashes as a sacrifice to resurrect the Witch of Jealousy ended in failure—accompanied by a hoarse roar that seemed to come from ancient times, it resounded throughout the world and echoed in the cramped statue space.

The ashes of the magical girl's body slowly fell to the ground, lying among the ruins.

"How is it possible...how is it possible...how is it possible?"

Looking at this scene, the Lost Witch's pupils trembled and she murmured palely.

"It's so ugly...please don't show such an ugly expression, my interest suddenly disappeared. It's so boring."

The Sloth Witch said sadly, with a trace of undisguised boredom in her eyes, and then she ordered the dim light tentacles to wrap around the body of the Lost Witch, draining every bit of the magic power from her body.

Finally, when those tentacles dispersed, only a piece of bones remained in the body of the Lost Witch, slowly scattered on the ground.

"it's over……"

Blue Owl, or "Ke Mingye" looked up at this scene and thought to himself.

"So, we have finally rescued Senior Ashes?"

Little Red Riding Hood asked in a low voice.

"Yes...we rescued her."

Ke Mingye murmured to himself.

But just when he was passing by the remains of the lost witch, intending to take the unconscious Bai Zini home, a vision suddenly came to the ruined altar.

When the girl in the Gothic skirt raised her eyes again, a cold gray-blue firework burned in the pupils of her eyes.

At the same time, the bunch of umbrellas that fell at her feet changed. The gems embedded in the umbrella handles were completely contaminated by darkness, and there were thousands of cracks, like the cracked earth.

The footsteps in the silence stopped abruptly. Looking at this scene, the blue owl slowly stopped and froze in place.

Ke Mingye's pupils shrank slightly, reflecting the empty eyes of the girl in the Gothic skirt. Half of her cheek was still stained with blood, and her pupils were empty, but the gray-blue fire burning in her eyes was so bright, like the sky at dawn.

The next moment, he turned his back to Shi Naian, slowly took off the Blue Owl helmet, raised his eyes from under his sweat-soaked forehead, and said hoarsely to the girl on the altar:

"Bai Zini...it's me."

But these words were so pale that they seemed to be inaudible to anyone.

At this moment, the Gothic skirt girl seemed to have nothing in her eyes. Even though her pupils reflected Ke Mingye's face, the two were so close, but she still ignored it.

The next moment, the space inside the entire witch statue began to tremble violently, as if it was collapsing.

In the world that was falling apart, the umbrella named "Cinderella" slowly floated up, and then the whole body was covered with a layer of gray-blue metal, turning into an absolute mechanical texture.

Then, the umbrella surface began to gather and stick tightly to the umbrella handle.

With the sound of "clicking", countless parts quickly reassembled and finally turned into a heavy sniper rifle.

At the same time, the skirt of the Gothic girl began to change color gradually. In a blink of an eye, the gray-blue color enveloped her whole body, completely replacing the gray part. Then the hem of the pleated skirt broke with a "hiss", and the hem slowly turned into a shape like embers.

Then the girl raised her eyes, and the gray-blue flames in her pupils burst out.

The two looked at each other.

Ke Mingye stared at her in a daze, and a panel jumped out of his eyes.
