So I became a witch

"Huh? Because it's not necessary." I said.

"...Really." Luo Yixin put down her hand, resumed her original calm appearance, turned around and walked back silently, "It's just that, it's not enough to kill you."

"Wait a minute, where did we meet? Why did I say to kill me when we met? Did I do something to make you angry?" She looked completely bewildered, even if she searched Luo Tianling's memory, it should indeed be the first time she and I met in the academy, apart from the name Luo, there should be nothing in common , But why, she said she wanted to kill me, but at the same time helped me in the invasion incident, and in her eyes, I couldn't see any hostility, what is going on?

"...It's nothing, it has nothing to do with you."

"????" If someone is watching from the sidelines now, my head should be full of question marks.What do you mean has nothing to do with me?Big sister, so you are the kind of domineering character who can say "destroying you has nothing to do with you"?

"But... let's get stronger, so strong that even fate can be easily rewritten."

My body trembled.I always feel that I seem to have heard similar words somewhere.

"Hi, may I ask if you have seen a strange bookstore nearby!" Taking advantage of my daze, Mo Yuling walked forward with a smile.

Hey, how could people know about this kind of thing...

"Well, yes."

real or fake? !

"Oh, so where is it?" Mo Yuling asked happily.

"Go straight from here, and then go around for a while. But, there can only be one person." After finishing speaking, Luo Yixin sat on the ground and closed her eyes.

one person?what does that mean?Although I don't understand, it's better not to disturb her.

"Okay! Let's go, Xiaochen!" Mo Yuling excitedly pulled me, went back to the ginkgo forest, and searched again.

Still got nothing.

"It's strange, why can't I find it..." Mo Yuling lay on the lawn, staring blankly at the sky in a daze.

"This is not a game. Before doing the main quest, you have to talk to NPC to trigger the plot or something. If you can't do it in reality, you can't do it."

"Well... it really feels weird."

"Well, in this case, we can only think that the other party has deliberately hidden it. If there is no way, it is basically impossible to find it. Even if the first time is a coincidence, then the second time..."

Hey?

method?

Go around for a while?

"Did you find anything, Xiaochen?" Mo Yuling asked.

"Footprints..." I said subconsciously.

"Huh? What's the matter?"

"It's a bit strange. Although it is difficult to leave some footprints with our weight on dry ground, we can still see them vaguely. But... they are gone."

"Is that... the latest ghost story?"

"Now I'm not joking with you."

No, not all of them. If you look carefully, the footprints are not all lost, only part of the footprints disappear, as if after passing a small river, the footprints on both sides of the bank remain clearly, but the middle part is blocked by the river water. Disappeared.

But there can't be river water here, and it's impossible for us to be unconscious. What's going on?

Then, on the flat ground not far away, I found another footprint that seemed to appear out of thin air.

Chapter 81 In the Bookstore

There is no beginning and no end, just the opposite of the previous footprints that were missing a section.

"..." I looked at the footprints in front of me and fell into thought.

"Hey, did you find something? Did you find something?"

"Be quiet." I made a silent gesture.If my train of thought is correct, that is to say...

According to the missing parts in my memory, I took a few steps in that direction.

"..." There is no change, but my train of thought should not be wrong, what is missing?

"There can only be one person." I thought of Luo Yixin's words, looked at Mo Yuling who was standing there blankly, and thought deeply.

"Give me that book," I said.

"Oh." Mo Yuling obediently handed me the book without asking why.

"Then close your eyes."

"Understood!" She still complied.

good, then...

I closed my eyes and took a step in the direction I guessed.

Then, something is different.

The world suddenly became quiet, whether it was the "rustling" sound brought by the wind blowing leaves, or the whispering of insects, they all disappeared in an instant, as if I was the only one left in the entire ginkgo forest.

"Mo Yuling?" I said softly, and then opened my eyes.

If there is no answer, it would be better to say that even people themselves do not exist.With her foot strength, it is absolutely impossible to run away from my perception in such a short period of time, let alone she has no reason to run away.

That is, was it a success?

I looked at the ground, and the footprints that Mo Yuling and I walked on just now were all gone. It was obviously summer, but the lawn was covered with golden ginkgo leaves, as if no one had lived in it for a long time.

Not far in front of me, an old-style stone house stands abruptly in the forest, constantly exuding its own sense of existence.I'm afraid that is the strange bookstore Mo Yuling mentioned.

It really came to an inexplicable place.I was speechless for a while.Just as I thought, the reason why Mo Yuling failed to find this stone house again was because in this ginkgo forest, there was an enchantment similar to the original Maohua Primary School, but it was more complicated. Some.To put it simply, the spatial structure here has been disrupted, so our footprints will show that messy and abrupt situation, similar to the "Nine Palaces Puzzle" in three-dimensional space, we must find the correct route before we can reach This "hidden space" is what Luo Yixin called "walking around casually".As for the so-called one person, it probably refers to "cannot be watched by more than two eyes, otherwise it will cause visual and spatial confusion".

Really, who is deliberately playing tricks in this kind of place? Isn't it good to build a bookstore in an ordinary way?However, it was also lucky that Mo Yuling was able to find this kind of place. Without knowing the decryption method at all, she walked in by mistake. This kind of luck is really unspeakable.

From now on, just return the book.

I walked slowly to the stone house, knocked on the door, and the wooden door opened with a "squeak". Unlike the old exterior, the interior decoration is very novel, the space is much larger than the appearance, and the bookshelves are separated. They are neatly arranged at a certain distance, and there is a sign explaining the classification in front of each row of bookshelves, although it seems to me that it is just garbled characters.The ground is also very tidy, as if it had been cleaned frequently. The only fly in the ointment is that the bookshelves for storing books are already very old, and they look even older than the appearance of this room, as if they would collapse if there was a slight vibration , worrying.

"Ah, there it is." Soon I found the vacant place on the bookshelf. From the looks of it, this should be the place where the book Mo Yuling took away. Next, as long as I return the book, it should be...

"Crack." Somewhere in the bookstore, there was a sound, although it was very subtle, I still heard it.

"Click, click, click, click!" After that, the voice seemed to find me, the frequency became faster and louder, and it was obviously running towards me.

This should be the strange voice Mo Yuling said, right?I stood there motionless, waiting for the sound to approach.

"Crack!" The voice stopped abruptly, and there was still nothing in front of my eyes.

Just when I was in doubt, there was a sudden movement under my feet. I lowered my head and just saw a black kitten crawling by my feet, rubbing my shoe tip with its body.

"Is this the sound that scares Mo Yuling away?" I felt speechless for a while, and lowered my body to hug it.The cat didn't resist at all, let me hug it to my chest, and let out a cat meow that I enjoyed.

I gently teased its chin with my fingers, and the cat also waved its soft paws. After playing like this for a while, I didn't find anything unusual. It seemed that it was really just an ordinary cat.

"Oh, is there a new guest?"

Hearing this sound, the kitten jumped out of my arms, ran to the back of the house, and jumped into the arms of the woman who walked out of the curtain.While stroking the cat, the woman walked up to me with a long skirt, showing a soft smile: "Welcome, may I help you?"

"Well, are you the shopkeeper here?" I looked at the woman in ancient costume in front of me a little cautiously.Her clothes are similar to the skirts of the Tang Dynasty. Both the sleeves and the hem of the skirt are quite long. Her long black hair is tied together with wooden hairpins. The top is white and the bottom is reddish. Beautiful patterns are sewed with golden silk threads. If she didn't speak fluent Mandarin, I almost thought I had traveled to ancient times.

"Is this cosplay?" I asked subconsciously.

"Huh?" The woman tilted her head and smiled to express her confusion.

"No, it's nothing. Well, are you the owner of this room?" I subconsciously used honorifics to her, the reason even I didn't know.

"No, no. The real owner is not at home. I just take care of it temporarily for him. Then, are you here to borrow books?" the woman said with a smile.

"Borrowing books? Ah no, what I really want to say is that I'm here to return the books." I handed over the book in my hand.

The woman took the book, and for a moment I touched her hands, and immediately felt a burst of coldness, not like the body temperature of a living person at all, coupled with her pale, almost dead skin color, people couldn't help but have "she Are you really alive?" Such doubts.

Chapter 82 Diary

"Oh, is that the little girl from last time? It's a pity that I couldn't talk to her." The woman said regretfully, and after quickly flipping through the book, she gently put it back in the gap in the bookshelf.

"Well, can you understand the content of that book?" I couldn't help asking.

"Huh? Books exist just for people to read?" the woman said with a smile.

"But I've never seen those words."

"Oh, my guest, have you seen it too? Maybe it's because it doesn't belong to you."

"Not mine?"

"Every book here has its own owner. If it is seen by others, it is absolutely incomprehensible. Just as everyone has their own life, what is recorded in these books is their own journey .If you are easily touched, something bad might happen."

"What do you mean by bad things?"

"Hmm...it's not that serious. It's probably only on the level of 'I ordered fried pork slices with green peppers and only green peppers, which will make people have nightmares at night and force me to wake up early'."

"..."

Hold back, I will never complain!

"In that case, as long as you return the book, you'll be fine?" I said.

"Well, as long as you stay here, nothing will happen."

"Then, my task is also completed, goodbye." I turned and walked towards the door.

"Oh, the guest finally came here, don't you want to borrow a book?"

"Forget it, I don't want to be cursed. And you also said that these books have their own owners. I never thought of borrowing other people's things."

The woman showed a slightly troubled expression: "Well, this is a bit troublesome."

"trouble?"

"Because these children in our family have stayed here for too long, and finally saw outsiders, and they all clamored to go out."

It's not kittens or puppies or anything, it's just some books so don't be hypocritical.

"In that case, why bother to hide this place?" I asked.Except for Mo Yuling who was completely lucky, I also followed Luo Yixin's advice to understand how to solve the problem. If it's just a coincidence, there shouldn't be many people who can break in, right?

"Because it's a rule. Moreover, even if you come here, if you are not a confused person, I am afraid that you will not be able to get the approval of these children."

"You mean, I'm confused?"

The woman smiled without saying a word.

"...I know, then please recommend a book for me, please don't bring the cursed one."

"I understand." The woman bowed slightly, her fingers slowly slid across the spines of the books, and finally stopped on a certain book, took it out of the bookshelf, and put it on my desk. hand, "If it is it, maybe it will be very suitable for you as a guest."

I opened the book decorated with black leather, and was taken aback for a moment: there were no words in the book.

I turned a few more pages, the same blank page number, I'm afraid the whole book is pure white and flawless paper like this.

"What is this? A wordless book? Does it have to be baked with fire or poured with water to see it?" I picked up the book and flipped through it, muttering in a low voice.It’s fine that the other books are gibberish, but this book doesn’t even have any words, plus random selection of customers may give you a curse or something, it’s hell that such a bookstore can continue to operate, although I know it’s definitely not Just an ordinary bookstore.

"This book is a little different from others. It is not for reading, but for writing." The woman patiently explained, "Just write what you see and hear every day on it. .”

"It's just writing a diary, right?" I said speechlessly. I haven't touched a diary or something since kindergarten. I didn't expect that this strange bookstore can remind people of the past. It's really complicated. "In that case, wouldn't it be good to just give me an ordinary notebook?"

"It's not an ordinary diary." The woman smiled meaningfully, "As long as you keep recording in it every day, maybe it can help you in unexpected places."

"...Well, there is no reason to refuse anyway." I put away the black notebook, "Since it is a loan, do I have to pay anything? How long will I borrow it?"

"No, as long as you can keep recording on it, it will be the greatest reward for it. As for the lease period, it doesn't matter how long it is." The woman said with a smile.

... I don't know where to start complaining, but it really is just like what Mo Yuling said, it is a strange bookstore.

"Then, goodbye." The woman raised her cat's paw and gently waved goodbye to me.

"Little dust?"

My pupils suddenly constricted, and the perspective in front of me suddenly switched back to the ginkgo forest. Mo Yuling stood beside me stupidly, still looking for the bookstore.

"... How long has it been?" I covered my right eye with my hand and asked with a frown.

"What are you talking about? Didn't you just stand there without moving after you asked me to hand over the book to you?" Mo Yuling asked strangely.

I looked at my feet, and there were scattered footprints all over the ground, without any spatial dislocation. The eye of Xu under the cover of my right hand shone slightly red, showing that there was no vision in the space in front of us.

My brows were furrowed even tighter. Could it be that what happened just now was all an illusion?When did it start?Before meeting Luo Yixin, or even earlier, when he first came to the ginkgo forest?

Oh, and that book.I took out the book I stuffed in my clothes and was stunned for a moment.The Book of Curses that Mo Yuling gave me was gone, and replaced by a black notebook that had appeared in my hallucinations. I casually flipped through a few pages, and it was exactly the same as the one in memory, completely blank of paper.
