So I became a witch

For her appearance, the neighbors on the street didn't show much concern. They neither greeted her nor got to know her too much, as if she never existed from the beginning.This may have something to do with the girl's life pattern. She came in a very deep night. I was awakened by a stray cat by the roadside. Under the street lamp, a girl in black.

That was me, meeting her for the first time.

Then, the next day, I learned from my parents that on the opposite side of my house, in the villa that had been unoccupied for a long time, a new resident had actually moved in.The original owner of the villa is said to be a business owner. Later, the business went bankrupt and the owner committed suicide. The owner’s daughter and wife went abroad together. In the haunted house far away, the weeds in the courtyard are more than one meter. Sometimes a few brave children often climb over the wall and enter the courtyard to play hide-and-seek. Dare to get close.Unexpectedly, someone would want to move into that house.

I suddenly thought of the girl in black under the street lamp I saw last night. Could it be that she is the new resident?

This doubt lingers in my mind, but it has never been answered.Because the new resident locked himself in the villa from morning to night, all the doors and windows were sealed tightly, and the curtains firmly blocked every light that shot into the house.If it wasn't for the courier stuffing various things into the house from the plywood under the door on time every day, I suspect that the new owner of the house might have left without knowing when.It is precisely because of this that the arrival of new residents has not had any impact on this street, and even except for some people, others have no idea that new neighbors have moved in here.

However, children's imaginations are always unconstrained. I don't know where it started, and new rumors have become popular again. Some people say that the owner of the new house is actually a vampire. Some people said that the person living in that room was actually a living puppet, with a delicate face, but no human emotions... Anyway, various rumors spread quietly.

However, the tragic scene of the child who broke into the hospital last time after being taught a lesson is still deeply in our minds. Although we are naturally curious, no one dares to be the first to be the first to eat crabs.The positivity in this is the strongest for me. For some reason, the figure of the girl in black that I saw in the middle of the night lingered in my heart like a nightmare, urging me to meet her again.However, because of my parents, it is really difficult for me to find a free time to investigate, and this matter is like this, delayed again and again.

Until one day, I finally seized the opportunity.Because my younger sister was weak and sick since she was a child, she lived in the hospital ward for many years. Although she has improved a little and moved back home these years, she often needs to go back for reexamination. Today is the day when my parents take my sister for examination.

Early this morning, taking advantage of the time when my parents and younger sister were leaving home, I immediately hid in front of the villa opposite, waiting for a few friends I had made an appointment with a few days ago to investigate together.However, until half an hour passed, their figures did not appear, and I immediately understood that I had been released as a pigeon. The villa behind me stood tall and straight, I swallowed, and my heart beat a little.

However, it has come to this point, when I think of what happened that night, I gritted my teeth, climbed over the low fence wall, and quickly fell into the weeds.

I held my breath, and after making sure that I didn't attract the attention of the owner of the house, I let out a small sigh of relief. With the help of the cover of weeds, I crawled towards the door little by little.

Chapter 52 The Day of Breath (9)

I gently pushed the sliding splint under the door with my hand. The splint was not locked, and I breathed a sigh of relief. Originally, it was only an entrance prepared for delivering newspapers and express delivery. Only a kid like me could crawl into it.

In this way, I entered the house with ease. As I imagined, the room was pitch black, and there were various express boxes by the door that had not been opened in the future. The whole house was filled with a smell of wood. Rotten breath.

Through the ray of light cast by the skylight, I carefully looked at the environment in the house. There is neither a floor full of coffins like the urban legend, nor a room full of flesh and blood. A feeling of loneliness and sadness.

Originally, the investigation should have ended here, but the most important thing is whether the girl I saw in the middle of the night moved into this room, and why she never went out is still unclear. I swallowed , Quietly raised his footsteps, and stepped up the stairs.

Although the house has been around for many years, it is still very solid. I was really relieved that there was no "squeak" like in horror movies, and the initial tension gradually eased.

Unlike the large halls on the first floor, the space on the second floor is almost entirely composed of rooms next to the corridor. Most of the rooms are locked, and the dust on the doorknobs also proves that no one has used it for a long time.Obviously moved in, but never opened these rooms, what is the new owner of the house doing?Doubt and curiosity swirled through my mind, motivating me to keep going.

Finally, in a corner room, I found a half-open door. I quietly lay on the threshold and looked inside through the gap.

The girl with long black hair was lying in front of the table and fell asleep, her figure was very similar to the person I saw in the middle of the night.The dark brown curtains blocked the rays of the sun, and only a few rays of light could enter this room, and I was lucky enough to witness the girl's true face.I held my breath for fear of disturbing the picturesque scenery.

Already, there is no need to continue the investigation, right?How could such a beautiful person be a devil?

I quietly closed the door again and backed away calmly.Suddenly, my body hit something soft.

"Huh?" I subconsciously made a sound and turned my head tremblingly.

The black-haired girl was standing behind me at this time, wearing a mask on her face as in the legend. The expression of the mask seemed to be smiling, but there was a drop of thick black tear clearly flowing from the corner of her eye.

"What are you doing?" The girl said softly, her voice was nice, but it was like a machine, without any emotion at all.

I was stunned by the scene in front of me. The girl was clearly lying on the table before, so how could she appear behind me?I suddenly remembered something and opened the door again.

... gone.

The girl who was supposed to be lying in front of the table was gone now.No, it's not that it disappeared, but it appeared behind me.

I turned my head again, facing the owner of the house, panting heavily, so that I could calm down a little.

"Who are you?" I asked.

In my heart, I admired my courage very much. Facing such an unimaginable scene, I didn't faint from fright, and I was able to ask her name back, which is completely a model of reluctance.

Unexpectedly, the girl answered me: "The name... No, I can't tell you yet."

After speaking, she turned around and went down the stairs, heading towards the kitchen.

I'm kind of scratching my head as to what she meant by that?Seems like a good time to run away, though?However, I hesitated for a moment, but instead of running away immediately, I followed the girl into the kitchen.

The kettle in the kitchen just seemed to be boiling, and the girl took a cup with coffee powder in it, as if she knew that someone would come, she immediately brewed a cup of coffee, with an unquestionable tone Pushed the cup towards me and said, "You like this, don't you?"

"Uh...thank you." I hesitated for a moment, but took the cup and took a sip.

It's not poisonous, this bitterness is mixed with a strong taste, exactly the same as the coffee I drank secretly when my father was not paying attention.It was that attempt to steal the forbidden fruit that made me fall in love with drinking coffee. Although it was not many times, it was the most impressive.

However, even my father didn't know about this matter, why would this neighbor who just moved here not long ago know.

I continued to sip my coffee, but at the same time I was warily eyeing the masked girl.She also brewed the same cup of coffee for herself, but the mask on her face was still not completely lifted, only the position of her mouth was exposed, and she tasted it little by little.

Just like that, the two of us sat opposite each other in the kitchen, neither of us spoke, surrounded by an incredible atmosphere.It wasn't until the coffee was cold and I drank it completely that she finally spoke again: "Since your goal has been achieved, it's time for you to go back."

"What?" I didn't turn the corner all at once.

"You came here because of those rumors. Now you understand that I am not a demon, nor a vampire, nor a puppet."

"Eh..." I smiled awkwardly, and at the same time felt a little unbelievable. Although the girl in front of me was like a robot, giving people a cold and emotionless feeling, she could keenly sense what I was thinking. It seems to have the ability to read minds.

"That." I plucked up my courage and asked loudly, "Why don't you go out? Why do you make the room so dark? Why do you have to wear a mask in your own home?"

The girl didn't answer, but stared at me silently through the mask.I also stared at her, and after drinking coffee together for a while, the fear in my heart had completely disappeared at some point, and even vaguely, I seemed to be able to feel her mood.

"You'll understand," she said, with the same emotionlessness as before, "but not now."

"What does this mean?" I asked puzzled.

"Let's go, and then, don't come here again. Unless... no, it's nothing." After she finished speaking, she went upstairs alone, and returned to the room just now, leaving me alone in the kitchen Stupid.

... Forget it, let's go back.After seeing the real person, my interest suddenly dropped by half. Sure enough, urban legends are all lies. There are neither vampires nor moving dolls.

However, the only thing I can be sure of is that she is a very strange and incredible person.

Chapter 53 The Day of Breath (10)

I returned home before my parents, and my friends sent me apologies one after another, and I forgave them very readily. After that, it was as if nothing had happened, and no one came forward. That mysterious villa and its owner, but I already have the answer in my heart.

After entering high school, my parents were transferred to a foreign country due to work, leaving me and my sister living together at home. Because my uncle who is the chief of the police station has been taking care of me, my life is relatively stable.In this way, my younger sister and I entered a famous local noble middle school together, and spent three years of extremely ordinary high school life without doing anything. We neither made friends nor had anyone to talk to. The idea of ​​a friend or something, but I still gave up.An ordinary girl with no characteristics like myself, if nothing else happens, will only usher in a lonely ending.

Yes, if, nothing else.

Why, on that day, on a whim, I would walk into a path that I had never entered before when I came home from school, and then I happened to bump into a couple who were walking together kissing together, and I cursed in my heart "dog man and woman" but I couldn't help but stop and slow down, only to see the horror movie-like development of the woman suddenly turning into a monster and eating the man. Every time I think about it afterwards, I feel chills and have nightmares in my heart.

The body was completely unable to move because of too much fear. When the monster rushed towards him, his mind was full of "ah, I'm going to die" and blamed himself for meddling in his own business. The figure is forever in my mind.

The blond girl fell from the sky.

"My name is Charlotte."

Maybe it was from that moment on that the seeds of longing had been planted.

After waking up, I was suddenly told that under the shadow of this city, a huge conspiracy was brewing, and the president I secretly admired and everyone in the student union might be swallowed by this plan.So just like that, I was dragged onto the thief boat in a daze.

It's clear that we only spent seven days together, but it feels more fulfilling to me than the past ten years.In these days, I really feel that I am alive, that I am being needed, that the ordinary self is eager to become an extraordinary protagonist.

However, just like Icarus stretched out his hand towards the sun, unrealistic dreams will only come to an end after all.

The body has completely lost consciousness, and the senses have become sticky, as if the whole person has been thrown into a large pot to simmer, and all the internal organs have rotted into meat paste.

Sure enough, from the very beginning, I shouldn't have taken that bottle of strange medicine.

No, or in other words, starting earlier and earlier, I must have gone the wrong way.If I hadn't walked into the alley that day, if I hadn't held back my steps because of curiosity, if I had clearly refused after waking up, if I hadn't been so nosy, if I hadn't longed for the unrealistic Meng...Obviously as long as there is one step of deviation, it will not usher in such an ending.In the end, it still turned out like this.

I was lying on a rock, my perception had completely lost its function, a huge cloud had covered the city, that man had indeed calculated everything, and now in this world, no one could stop him.

...Sure enough, he is about to die.The price of yearning for the sun is only to be burned to death.But why, did her phantom appear in his eyes?

The girl with white hair and black clothes stood on the gray ruins. More than ten years later, her figure was just like the first time I saw her, lonely as if abandoned by the world.Time seemed to have no effect on the girl, she turned her head and walked gently in front of me.

"You're dying," she said.

I froze for a moment, and gradually realized that the woman in front of me was not a phantom, so I nodded slightly: "I know."

"Aren't you happy?" she asked.

Isn't this a matter of course?Who would gladly die worthless?However, this kind of thing can't be changed without reconciliation, can it?Because there is nothing to do, it is death, isn't it?

"Well, let's exchange it." She replied.

exchange?exchange for what?Now I have nothing.

"So, the answer is?"

Ah, I see, isn't it just an exchange?That kind of thing doesn't matter at all, as long as you take everything you want!

As long as they can be saved...

Even if it was only for a moment, I had fantasized that I could become an extraordinary existence.

Like being that person, being able to smile and save other people.

and so……

"Then, the contract is established."

The girl put her hand on the mask and gently took it off.The moment she took off the mask, she was blown away by a sudden strong wind and disappeared in a blink of an eye. Her long hair was floating in the air, exposing her face to the world for the first time.

That is, what kind of beautiful existence?On the exquisite face, the facial features are perfectly arranged, her existence seems to be the only one in the world, and everything else is a blasphemy to that beauty.However, there was no trace of expression on that face, like a carved puppet. I am afraid that even if the universe is destroyed, it will be difficult for her to be shaken at all.I stared at her blankly, forgetting even the pain in my body.

However, this alone is not enough. Compared with that huge existence, both she and I are too small. If this continues, nothing will change.

However, the girl just casually took a step forward... In an instant, the entire sky seemed to be falling down, just, just because she moved.

She raised her hand, aligned her palm with the huge monster, and then slowly clenched it, as if she wanted to hold it in her hand.But in reality, an imminent crack suddenly appeared on the body of the giant that was roaring ferociously just now, and it wailed in pain, as if its huge body would be torn apart in the next moment.

Can't imagine... No, I have given up thinking.The scene in front of me was completely beyond my comprehension. I stared blankly at the girl, who possessed such powerful and terrifying power, but her eyes were still as calm as stagnant water.

"Hmph." There was a soft hum suddenly from the sky, and the force that restrained the monster disappeared immediately, as if blown away by some invisible wind, the girl's figure paused, but immediately He stretched out his other hand, and just as the giant was released, it was immediately grabbed by its body again, unable to move.

Chapter 54 The Day of Breath (11)

"Death." In the sky, the voice said again, as if it was narrating a fact.In fact, it was true, as her voice fell, everything lost its color and began to wither.No one could resist the power of that voice, as if the god of death had come to the world, wantonly harvesting life.

However, there is only one exception.The girl raised her head slightly, and glanced at the sky as if casually, her dark black pupils instantly turned into blood-colored bright red. Invisibly, two opposing orders collided and then dispersed.

It was as if nothing had happened, and it seemed that something had changed slightly.

The majestic voice above the sky finally wavered: "You should not exist in the sequence. Who are you?"

"Fight, retreat." The girl lightly parted her red lips, facing the sky indifferently.

Time stood still at this moment, and after a long time, the huge momentum that seemed to crush the entire world faded away like a tide.The huge monster disappeared, the sky returned to its original bright color, and the awakened crowd lay on the ruins, looking around in confusion.

The girl's face was still calm. Except for me, I am afraid that no one can believe what kind of terrifying power is hidden in that fragile body that seems to be broken at the touch of a touch.

"Although it won't be long, but at least during this period, she probably won't come again." The girl said, she was standing less than one meter away from me at this time, but this distance seems to me , but it seems to be separated by the ends of the earth.

"Your body?" I asked hoarsely from my throat.

"Well, that's part of the price. Sure enough, with such a body alone, I can't exert my strength properly." The girl lowered her head and raised her clenched fist.The area below her waist has gradually become transparent, and the range is still rising.

"That's why you stayed in that house for more than ten years." I said thoughtfully.

"Well, I had to do that because of the 'destiny' of 'karma'. Finally, is there anything else you want to ask?"

"Who are you?" I stared at her face and asked seriously.

"Haven't you already guessed it?" she said.

Ah, yes, I understood from the moment she took off the mask.

"I am you."

Dreams shattered.

Darkness enveloped my whole body, and I don't know how long time passed like this. After my vision regained clarity, I found myself sitting on a soft single sofa, surrounded by a small, familiar place In the living room, a loli with gray-brown long hair like a dead tree was sitting flat in front of me, holding a cup of freshly brewed tea, took a sip slowly, and then said slowly:

"are you awake?"

I was silent for a long time, then asked, "Where is this?"

"The crack of nothingness. Or, it would be more appropriate to describe it as the edge of a dream."

"Is what I saw just now real or fake? Is it a dream or reality? Or, I am still dreaming?"

"That's something to ask yourself. But you already have the answer, don't you?"

"If she is me...then who am I?" I stared at the loli old woman in front of me, "Am I Luo Tianchen...or her?"

The body trembled slightly.

I have always believed that because I rewrote the world, the development of the world and the past diverged greatly, and a new world was born.In this world, I was a girl from the beginning, and I have nothing to do with the president or the others.Because I'm a witch, I have memories of another world that others don't know about, but at the same time, I don't have memories of this world before... I've always believed in that, or told myself that.

However, I suddenly had a dream. In the dream, I was an extremely ordinary child, living an extremely ordinary life, and I couldn't get along with the witch... But, I met that person, The girl in the mask.

And under that mask, there is a face exactly like mine.
