So I became a witch

Chapter 53 The Witch of Time

After the vision became clear again, I found myself sitting on a soft single sofa, with a cup of steaming green tea on the coffee table in front of me, and Luo Yu who was drinking tea beside me Ze, after seeing me awake, she put down the teacup without haste and said, "Yo, you're awake."

"Ah, it's about the same. By the way, you are too leisurely!" I complained, and took a sip of hot tea.Well, apart from being a bit hot, it's pretty good, with a strong rhyme and not too much stimulation, just right.

"By the way, where is this place?" I asked casually, took another sip of tea, and felt relaxed physically and mentally.

"The captain's room, you should have guessed it, right?" Luo Yuze said.

"Well, is that really the case?" I nodded, but of course it wasn't dilapidated like the other rooms, but a room filled with all kinds of noble decorations and all kinds of furniture. Although it was raining lightly outside the window, But it didn't affect the boat's progress at all, but added a different elegant atmosphere, which was a bit dark.

"What's going on with all this? And why don't you turn on the light?"

"Well, anyway, don't you already know about it?"

"It's true, but I'm still a little uneasy if I don't listen to you explaining it yourself."

"About this point, let the old man explain." A loli voice suddenly broke into our conversation, and at the same time all the lights in the room were turned on.I was startled, and then I noticed that sitting across from me was a loli who looked similar to me in appearance, with gray-brown hair like a dead tree, hanging from a shawl; her pupils were bottomless like black holes , but it seems to contain stars, so bright that people dare not look directly at them.Although her voice was very clear and sweet, her tone sounded like it had experienced vicissitudes of life, which was not at all what her appearance should be.

"Who are you?" I suddenly became vigilant.

"Hello, it's my first meeting, the nameless witch. My name is Meili, the witch who controls time." Loli replied quickly.

"Witch?" I said in surprise.

"Is the existence of the old man such a surprising thing to you?" Mei Li said lightly, without a trace of expression on her delicate face.

"No, it's just that I haven't seen other witches very much. I didn't expect a witch to be as... talkative as you." I said embarrassingly.

"You don't need to be too polite, nameless witch. But you did nothing wrong. If it is not necessary, try not to deal with other witches. Old age is just an exception."

"Hey? An exception?" I froze for a moment.

"That's right. Most of the witches have their own obsessions. This obsession transcends life and death. Once it is considered to hinder her from realizing her wish, then she will haunt you endlessly, even if you are old. Such peers will also be very headache."

"Wait, what did you say just now?"

"Ah. Among them, there will be existences like old people who have lived for too long, so long that they even forget their own obsessions." When she said this, a strange look seemed to cross Mei Li's face, When I noticed, she disappeared completely, and she returned to the expressionless loli, "Compared to these, if you have any questions, please ask them as soon as possible, the old man will definitely answer you completely doubts. Although what is here is just a clone of the old man, but after a long time, it will be easily dispelled by the consciousness of the world."

"It's just a clone?" I said in surprise.This time I was really frightened. I felt the bottomless void energy from the loli who claimed to be the Witch of Time in front of me, far exceeding me in my heyday, but even so, it was only a trace The degree of avatar, if she hadn't lied, it would be hard to imagine how terrifying her real body would be.

But leave her alone.Since she has no intention of being my enemy, I don't have to worry about how powerful she is.After thinking about it, I asked my first question: "Is everything I encountered before all false? No, it may not be appropriate to say that. Should I say it is unreal?"

Mei Li nodded: "From a human point of view, it's true. The reason for all this happened is because of an item that the old man sealed up on this ship——Trace of Time."

"Trace of Time?"

"Well. The original function of this item is to seal some extraordinary monsters at the expense of the user's period of time—or memory. Originally, as long as no one knows how to activate it, the seal will It will continue to exist until the end of time and the end of reincarnation. However, it was sealed by someone."

"So, the monster was released?"

"Exactly. However, the old man had considered the possibility of missing his hand, and in order to prevent the harm caused by monsters, he deliberately set up a mechanism. After the seal is activated, the trace of time will automatically activate a virtual field, with time Once every ten years, the life forms around the Lost Time will be awakened; once that person successfully completes the challenge, re-seals or defeats the monster, he can become the new owner of the Lost Time; If you die in the virtual realm, it will be regarded as a failure of the challenge, and new challengers will appear at that time, until a successful one appears."

So it turns out that the time change is not something weird, but a protective measure?

"However, why adjust the time in the field to wake up one person every ten years, wouldn't it be good to just let everyone go together?" I asked.

"In that case, wouldn't it be impossible to confirm who is the real master?" Mei Li tilted her head and said as a matter of course, she was so reasonable that I was speechless, "Also, using time as the enchantment It is enough to ensure the stability of the outside world. After all, there are not many people in this world who can ignore the power of time."

It is indeed true to say so, after all, this is the power of time, one of the three major abilities in the world of superpowers alongside plunder and copy.I don't know if it's the same among witches, but it must be strong anyway.

"So, what if no one can conquer it?" I suddenly thought of something and asked.

"In that case, the Lost Time will permanently close with all the challengers, and completely break away from the timeline." Mei Li said the very scary words calmly, "However, because of your attack, finally Let this worst-case scenario be ruled out, and please allow the old man to thank you."

"No, no, you are too polite." I hurriedly waved my hand, just kidding. Although the witch in front of me looks like a loli, she is actually an old monster whose age is tens of billions of times my age. , How could it be possible for her to do this, "Ah, right. Now that the monsters have been eliminated, then my classmates..."

"Don't worry, as long as this virtual field dissipates, they will appear in their own rooms properly, and everything that happened before will be treated as a dream."

"Really? That's good, that's good." I said casually, and took another sip of tea. For a while, no one made a sound in the entire captain's cabin, and it was so quiet and scary.

"It seems that you still have some questions?" Meili said suddenly, and I spit out the tea in my mouth when I was asked, and almost dropped the teacup on the ground.

Well, sure enough, I still can't hide from this old monster who has survived for an unknown amount of time.

I sighed, and finally summoned up the courage to ask: "Xilia... No, it's the different world that I fell into after defeating the 'Darkness'. It's really illusory, right?"

Chapter 54 Sources

"Exactly. But for you and me, that's not such an unreachable existence." Mei Li quickly replied.

"What does it mean?"

"The old man said before that if you want to activate the Lost of Time, you must use someone's memory or time as the medium. When you defeat the monster sealed in it, because the Lost of Time has not been closed, so Just like that, you were inadvertently sucked into it."

"That is to say, did that really exist in the world in someone's memory? Then my appearance replaced that 'someone'?" I understood a little bit.

"exactly."

"Who is that person? What is the memory he exchanged for sealing?"

"I'm sorry, due to the contract's regulations, the old man can't reveal the identity of that person to you. As for the monster that the person wants to seal, haven't you already seen it?"

"Sure enough, is that 'black film'?" I muttered to myself.In fact, I have faintly noticed at the end that the "darkness" I met before is actually a weakened version of the "black membrane". It's different. How should I put it... It's like, some kind of program."

This time, Mei Li was silent for a while before slowly saying: "The appearance of the void, the ancestor of evil...Let's just think so, it is the source of all void beasts, and it is also the end. Its existence itself is unknown , even for a witch, it is an untouchable taboo. It will randomly appear in the endangered world to accelerate its destruction, and it can be divided into different levels according to the size of the level. Like what you met this time, it is The relatively low-level 'black membrane', if it is the highest-level type, even the old will find it tricky, so please be vigilant."

"Hey, is that thing so scary?" I was taken aback, but at the same time I felt a little afraid of my reckless behavior.

"exactly."

After Meili's answer, I finally understood the cause of this incident.All in all, someone in that world, at the cost of a period of time, made a wish to Mei Li, and obtained the Time Lost Trail that can seal the 'Black Membrane', and then the Time Lost Trail left it for some reason. I came to the earth, and somehow appeared on this ship, was accidentally (intentionally?) discovered by someone and activated the seal, and we on the ship were unfortunately involved in the virtual enchantment. In the middle, in order to break the enchantment, everyone began to keep trying until I defeated the black membrane.As a result, I accidentally fell into the world in someone's memory due to too much power loss. I met Xilia and the others, and at the end of the memory, I was sent out again.

"So, where did you go, Luo Yuze, during this process?" I turned my head and asked her.

"Huh? Because I was the first to wake up, in order to find you, I accidentally met this guy on the way, so I was brought here." Luo Yuze said casually.

"So you've been watching the show the whole time?" I said speechlessly.

"How could it be? In fact, I also gave them a lot of help. For example, the key to the captain's cabin. As long as they can come here, I will appear as a support npc, but no one can succeed."

"Sorry, that's because I'm a little curious about your way of existence. However, after seeing the real body, my doubts have finally been answered."

"???"

Suddenly, I noticed that Meili's body seemed to be becoming transparent.

Mei Li said nonchalantly: "It seems that the time for the old man to stay here is coming soon. In the end, you who were supposed to defeat the 'Black Membrane' would become the new owner of Lost Time, but because of some special The reason, that item has already been taken away.”

"Hey? Was it taken away?" I was taken aback.

"Well. So, I will give you another thing as compensation." She flicked her finger, and a red hand strap with a similar texture of satin appeared out of thin air and slowly flew into my hand.

"This is?" I curiously hold it in my hand and wait and see.

"A restriction device that can limit the witch's power to the greatest extent, and can help the witch hide her identity and not be rejected by the world. But for you, it can also store excess void energy, so that you won't be able to use it as before. All the power was consumed in one go."

I tried wearing it on my hand, and it felt cool and comfortable, and my body didn't feel any discomfort: "Um, thank you so much, senior."

"Tch, obviously I can do such a small thing." Luo Yuze who was on the side pouted for some reason, and said something in a low voice.

"However, before this, I really didn't know that other witches would be so... well, obey the rules?"

"Are you trying to say that the old man is too stubborn?"

"No, no, how come, it's just..." I smiled awkwardly.

"In your eyes, what kind of existence is a witch? Ignore any rules and live as she pleases? For her own obsession, she will do whatever she can?" Mei Li asked me back.

"Um, isn't that the case?"

"I'm afraid that's the case for those newborn witches. But the more they exist like old people, the more they will respect the rules. It's like the closer to the sky, the more they will feel the vastness of the sky and their own insignificant."

"Do witches have anything to be afraid of?"

"It depends on your own heart. Whether it's a human being or a void." She said meaningfully, "Then, it's time to say goodbye, nameless witch. Unexpectedly, the old man can once again meet with the void eye in his lifetime." meeting with his successors."

"Wait a minute! Do you know anything about the Eye of Xu? What exactly is it?" I froze for a moment, I didn't expect to learn about the Eye of Xu here.

"This point, you need to explore by yourself." Mei Li's figure is getting weaker and weaker, and her voice is getting more and more ethereal, "Finally, please be careful not to rely too much on its power. Otherwise If so, your ending will be the same as that of other successors of the Void Eye. No, maybe it will be even worse... This point, the little girl around you probably has the most experience, right?"

Luo Yuze didn't speak, he lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking.

"Senior! Don't play word games with me at this time, okay? In my mind, you are already infinitely tall, so don't pretend to be advanced with me, okay? Please speak clearly, okay?" I shouted anxiously, but it didn't seem to have any effect.

"Those who deceive the world will eventually be deceived by the world."

The final chapter

"Senior? Senior?"

There was no answer, and it seemed that he had completely walked away.

"So this guy is just going through the motions to give me some equipment?" After confirming that Mei Li's reaction disappeared, I immediately recovered from my previous appearance as a well-behaved baby, and casually stretched Lazy.

"Your face has changed so quickly." Luo Yuze looked at me speechlessly and said.

"I can't help it. People are swords and I'm fish. I'm not the protagonist of some domestic novels. I keep my head down as if I'm dying. When I meet a strong man, I'll go up without saying a word. And they are stronger than me, so I don't have to be respectful." What is it? And there is a saying like this? Changing face is a woman's privilege." I shrugged and took another sip of tea.

So hot!Why is it so hot after so long!

"It seems that you have adapted quickly."

"I can't help it. People always have to recognize the reality. At the beginning, there was indeed a subtle sense of shame, but after so long, I have gotten used to it. Although there are still some old habits that have not been changed, it is harmless. Anyway, I also I never thought about getting married or anything, and it feels pretty good to live slowly like this. Besides, you also said that you would always be by my side, didn't you?" I said to Luo Yuze with a smile.

"...Ah, that's true. Whether it's heaven or hell ahead, I'll always walk with you."

"Thanks, if you can communicate with me without you, I think I would be at a loss, although this can also be regarded as talking to myself... But it's great to have you here." I said sincerely .

"...It's nothing." Luo Yuze turned his face away.

"Shy?"

"It's just that I want to move after sitting for a long time." She said angrily.

"Hey? Well, let's just treat it like this. Let's go, otherwise it will be a little troublesome when this space is broken." I tidied up the tea set a little, fell off the sofa, and bounced towards the door .

"I said, have you changed a bit?" Luo Yuze behind me said suddenly.

"Hey? Is there?" I turned around and said.

"I always feel that my personality is a bit... You must have been affected by something in that memory world, right?" Luo Yuze lifted his chin with his right hand, and looked at my whole body with suspicious eyes.

"Huh? How is it possible? You think too much. I have always been me, the only irreplaceable me!"

"Sure enough, there is a problem. Thanks to you, you can still say such two-year-old words with such a proud face..."

We talked and laughed and went back to our room.Then, Lutias Academy sent a new counselor, and it was already the next morning.That was a big-breasted blonde big sister who looked quite gentle. Through her explanation, we understood what happened on this ship.

It turned out that we were all students who were postponed for various reasons, and the counselor on this ship did not show up for various reasons (I later found out that the guy was the perverted man I bumped into in the toilet ), this gave the school’s hostile forces the opportunity to secretly hack into the cruise ship’s autopilot system, and pretend to be a certain teacher of the school to attack something sealed on the ship (Trace of Time), caused what happened next.However, the academy didn't seem to know about my attack, and just left thinking that the other party got what they wanted.As for the others, just like what Mei Li told me, they regarded everything as a dream and didn't pay much attention to it. Tianxita always looks at me with weird eyes, but she probably can't remember what happened that night.Although I also wanted to ask Sita about her right eye, I couldn't find a chance. I seemed to be deliberately avoided, which made me a little hurt.

Ah, there is another more important thing, that is, the two of us, Lu Ziping and Ao Zeyu, mysteriously disappeared after that night, there was no trace of them anywhere on the boat, and there was no trace of them on the sea .In addition, their student files seemed to be all in disguise. After several searches to no avail, the academy labeled them as infiltrators, believing that they had taken the sealed object away, and let it go.During this process, Sita always showed a worried look. After all, her identity was also faked, but fortunately, she was not found out, which made her feel relieved.

But I always feel that this matter is not that simple.Why did they hold us to play a werewolf killing game after they sneaked into the cruise ship?Even if it is a fake, but that strength is real, as long as that person wants to, it will be easy to kill everyone on this ship (without knowing me) and then take the Lost of Time Why do you have to spend so much trouble when you have to blow the dust?Are you unwilling to offend Rutias Academy?Or is there some amazing big shot among the students?Or, is there some other reason?

Finally, why would the so-called hostile organization want to seize this thing that sealed something at the cost of its own memory?This point is really puzzling.

Well, anyway, I don't think these things are useless, so I'll let those big shots deal with it themselves. The next thing I have to do is to enjoy my college life.

...Although I thought so, it is really unlikely.

I don't know if other witches have similar abilities to mine, anyway, after becoming a witch, I began to faintly feel the "thread" wrapped around myself.In Buddhist terminology, this should be the so-called cause and effect.

Whether it's the girl I met in that endangered world, Shilia, who looks like Sita, or the fact that the Lost Time just happened to be on this ship, and Sita's very Void Eye His right eye proved that this was by no means a coincidence.I'm afraid I was doomed to be involved in this trouble when I set foot on this ship.

It's a blessing, not a curse, and it's a disaster that can't be avoided.Anyway, I ended up at Lytias Academy.

……

This is also the starting point of all misfortune.

I don't know if you regret meeting me at the end.I don't know, if you can really turn back time, you who already know the ending, will make the same choice again.

If everything is just an endless loop of dreams, then I hope that whether it is the beginning of the dream or the end of the dream, the first and last thing I see is you.

The flower that blooms in nothingness is the eternity called dream.

Prologue

"This is Ye Diehua, the observer code is 1025076, the observation time is 2016:6 on June 25, 04, the earth time, and the 00th observation record is currently in progress. The observation target is the world code-named ADE1745, and no life has been found yet. There are traces, suspected to be eroded by sin..." Ye Diehua observed the things in the telescope with one eye, and stared at the notebook on the table with the other eye, and recorded the content on it with one hand.

Here is an extremely vast room, covered in darkness on all sides and overhead, only the floor underfoot can be seen.In the center of the room is a huge sphere of light, floating in the air, and many tables around it are pieced together and connected to form a ring surrounding the sphere of light. A small telescope to the photosphere and a mountain of report books.Except for Ye Diehua and the table beside her, the whole room was empty and eerily quiet.
