So I became a witch

"This world is much bigger than you can imagine. As long as you keep in touch with its dark side, one day you will meet some existence beyond your common sense and reason. At that time, what I teach you will be able to I have used it. Although I rationally hope that you will never use those things, it is impossible, because this is your destiny." Master suddenly looked at me, with unprecedented tenderness in his eyes.She touched my head lightly, with inexplicable sadness in her voice: "Maybe one day, you will hate me. But no matter what, I also hope that you can live. Don't, go on the same path as her." path of."

"Who is he? Master's boyfriend?" I asked, feeling slightly jealous for some reason.

The master was taken aback for a moment, and returned to his usual cheap smile: "Hey, I learned to be jealous at such a young age."

"Huh? I'm just mourning for that person. It's really bad luck for me to be your old woman's boyfriend." I said stiffly.

"You brat!" The movements of her hands suddenly became rough, and she rubbed my hair into a chicken coop, "It's not my boyfriend, she's a very beautiful girl, and it's me, who I yearn for People. Didn’t you ask if anyone has really reached the legendary third realm? I don’t know about the others, but she should be the person closest to the legend. It can also be said to be the closest A man of God is not too much."

"But Master, don't you want me to pursue the third realm instead of you? Since she is the closest person, why don't you let me learn from her?" I muttered.

"If this is the case, you may know it in the future." Master did not answer me.

Not long afterward, Master bid farewell to my parents. On a certain morning when I was sleeping, he left without a sound, leaving only a note saying "Goodbye by fate", which also means that our three-month The end of the master-student relationship.This guy really wants to protect his dignity as a master to the end. Although he looks very chic, I have already seen through everything. If it is her, she must be afraid that crying in front of me will hurt the master. Image, I left while I was sleeping.Yes, absolutely.

My life has returned to a normal track. Apart from taking care of my sister who is in poor health, I try to find cases from all over the world.My younger sister accidentally found out what I was doing. Taking this as an opportunity, she started to study computers and became a first-class hacker without a teacher. Thanks to her, I was able to find those hidden things more easily. In the dark, unknown cases that challenged the bottom line of human morality, I gambled on Master's name, determined to bring all criminals to justice. Sometimes when the law cannot punish the criminals, I would hold a sharp sword and swim In the twilight, give them the end with your own hands.Before I knew it, I realized that I couldn't turn my head back.What is the difference between me, who is covered in the blood of criminals, and those criminals?But I don't regret it, because I love this world.

Later, I even refused my sister's help and insisted on walking alone, because this was my choice and I couldn't let her become like me.So I pretended to be a good baby in the eyes of my parents during the day, and turned into a criminal executioner at night.As Master said, when I walked this path, I really encountered some existences beyond common sense.Those people who call themselves wizards have incredible power and can even manipulate shadows. Even if I killed them in the end, I myself was seriously injured.

Master's words became a reality, I gradually left the normal world, and blindly entered the "inner world", followed the clues, and participated in the witch game.

……

Mistake.Perhaps it was years of undefeated that fueled my arrogance. I stepped into the unknown world without paying attention. As a result, not only my body was severely damaged, but even my memory was almost lost. Even after three years of treatment, I recovered. part, but can never return to the state it once was.I experienced setbacks for the first time, and I felt that I had failed Master's expectations, and I fell into immense self-blame.At that time, a girl who called herself Yue appeared in front of me.Under her guidance, I regained my self-confidence, and in the name of 'Dust Moon', I regained my strength.

……

Yue died right in front of me because of my arrogance.At that time, I finally understood my weakness.She saved me, but I couldn't save her.I am so incompetent, what qualifications do I have to protect this world?

……

I returned to Xingjiang City again.But this time, I am no longer that evil nemesis "Luo Tianling", but just an ordinary high school student "Luo Tianchen".I followed the words of the month and lived an ordinary life.But should it be fate?After so many years, I'm back to where it all started, the damn witch game.

"Tianchen, run!" Bingying cried out in despair.Although she tried her best to block me, four phantom wolves broke through the line of defense and rushed in front of me. In just a few tenths of a second, their sharp teeth would penetrate my neck and tear me apart smash it,

The memory is revived bit by bit, the experience gained after countless battles, even if the brain can't remember it, the body will not forget it.It turns out that what the dream did was not to transfer experience points to me, but to awaken my battle memories.His body became hot, and the wooden stick he held in his hand subconsciously straightened.

Because it has been abandoned for a long time, I don't remember "Jian Xin" or anything. It may take longer to cultivate back to the original state, but it doesn't matter, because I have a stronger power than it, and I can see through everything. The empty eye.

"From today onwards, you are my disciple of Jingyue Valley. Now that you have reached the 'Sword Heart', I will teach you some common sword skills. It still requires certain skills to clear up soldiers. Well, let me teach you the trick I used at the beginning. Its name is..."

moon shadow.

Chapter 22 Everything Is Nothing

Everything is empty.It means that everything that exists in this world, whether visible or invisible, is composed of information.Just like so many online games, all kinds of gorgeous pictures are actually just programs written by countless 0s and 1s.The same is true in the real world. The so-called "Jianshin" is to break away from the shackles of the physical senses, to feel the "0 and 1" hidden in reality, so as to discover the essence of objects.Even if it's just a phantom, as a "life" that can move, it must have weaknesses.In this case, even if it is a shadow, it is possible to cut it off, right?

If it was the me I used to be, I'm afraid I can only learn to remain like them and wait for the moment when the wolves show up to strike.However, with my current physical reflexes, whether I can do this can only be unknown. After all, I was almost seriously injured when facing the Phantom Cat, not to mention its superior replacement of the Phantom Wolf.

So I chose to rely on the 'Virtual Eye'.Although I don't understand why it appeared on my body, since it is a part of me, it will definitely be used by me.

Observation, done.

The real and the unreal have once again overlapped.

Through the part of the memory left in my body, I quickly found the weakness of one of the wolves. Through data comparison and query, I immediately locked the 'spots' of all the enemies in my eyes.

The next thing to do is to swing the sword.

Unbelievably, the body unconsciously imitated the movements of Master's hands back then. At first I thought it was just her stupid behavior, but now it is extremely mysterious in my eyes.All the enemy shapes have dissipated, leaving only a large number of 'points' in the space. Every swing can accurately cross the position of the 'point', and complete the connection of all the 'points' with the fewest strokes. .

This is probably the world in the eyes of the master, right?After many years, although I was suspected of cheating with the help of the Eye of Xu, I finally stood by her side.

Using a tangible sword to cut off invisible things, this is the moon shadow, the existence of nothingness hidden on the back of the moon.Wherever the eye can see, everything can be killed.

At first, it was just a light.

Time seemed to stand still, and the surface of the lake was as smooth as a mirror.

I don't know who threw the stone into the lake, and the silence was broken, and the calm lake became turbulent, and the light spread slowly like the ripples, and all the wolves stopped moving wherever they reached, and then , under Shi Yiran and Bingying's unclear and shocked eyes, all the phantom wolves turned into black smoke and merged into the surrounding darkness.

There was a crisp "pop" sound, which was the sound of a wooden branch breaking in my hand. It split from the middle, and there were several crisp sounds in succession. When it fell to the ground, it was almost sawdust.Although theoretically speaking, as long as the 'point' is found, the enemy can be killed with very little effort, but given the strength and the large number of phantom wolves, it takes a lot of strength. It has been strengthened, but it is not easy to survive to the end.

At the same time, I exhausted all my strength and fell to the ground on my back, unable to move a single finger.

"Ah, Tianchen!" Bingying ran to my side in a panic, "Well, what's wrong with you? Did you get hurt somewhere?"

"It's okay... just... a little bit out of strength..." I said intermittently.

"What happened just now...was it you who did it?" Shi Yiran asked, with a deep sense of guard hidden in his eyes.Well, if it were me, someone who is like an ally has shown power beyond his own perception, and he will be suspicious like her.

"It's...well..."

"...Well, since the wolves are cleared, let's go quickly." To my surprise, Shi Yiran just took a deep look at me, then turned and left, "You two, hurry up and follow me!" let's go."

"This is the commercial street. As long as you pass through here and take a turn, you will see the teleportation point. Don't be too surprised then." Shi still reminded us in advance.

At this time, the three of us were walking carefully on the edge of the ruins, ah, to be precise, there should only be two of us, because I was carried by Bingying.Although I expressed strong opposition to this, I was still threatened (?) by saying "If you don't hurry up, there will be new monsters coming", I had no choice but to lie on Bingying's shoulder .

Hmm... It's really shameful, I'm afraid that even if I die, this black spot in my life won't disappear.Contrary to me, Bingying looked very happy, but also a little uneasy: "Well, Tianchen...do you feel uncomfortable like this?"

"To be honest, in fact, my body hurts so much that I hardly feel it. If you ask me if I feel comfortable, I don't know." I replied frankly.

"Hey, is that so... Then, do I have any strange smell?"

Smell... Do you mean shampoo or something?Although I didn't understand it very well, I moved closer to her hair and took a deep breath.

"Dust every day???! What are you doing??" Bingying's body suddenly became unsteady, and her voice became extremely shaken.

"Didn't you ask me if I have any strange smell?" I said strangely.

"Cocoa no no no..."

"Don't worry, it's not there, it's better to say it's quite fragrant... Bingying?"

"Hey hey..." I always felt that she was subtly happy.

Sure enough, girls are more afraid of blood, right?

"But it's really desolate here..." Bingying probably won't be able to talk to her for a while, so I decided to turn to Shi Yiran.

"After all, this is the Xingjiang City that was destroyed six years ago. Isn't the mood complicated enough? Well, just looking at the ruins, you can probably guess how tragic the war took place back then. Really, we How powerful are your seniors, no wonder they can even kill boss-level monsters, compared to them, we are probably not even as good as bugs." Shi still laughed at himself.

Indeed, as she said, the world we live in now can be said to be dilapidated. Countless buildings have collapsed, concrete has filled the roads, and there are several huge bottomless gaps on the asphalt road, just like "Journey to the West". "The bottomless pit in ", if you fall from here, I'm afraid it will reach the core of the earth.Everything is dead, only occasionally a few phantom monsters that look like birds and people are looking for prey in the air.Only the word "hell" can describe the world we see, and it can only be compared with areas that have experienced high-intensity earthquakes or been plowed by bombers.

"Hey, what kind of trick did you use just now? Could it be a superpower?" Shi Yiran finally couldn't suppress his curiosity and asked.

"It's just pure swordsmanship."

"Huh? You're lying, right? How could swordsmanship be so exaggerated?" She had a look of disbelief.

"It's true, not only me, but also my master can do it." Well, even though it has reached this level, it is afraid that it is not much worse than superpowers.

Shi still thought about it, and continued to ask: "In this case, how many times can you use this kind of swordsmanship? If it is feasible, we can go to the place where mobs gather and use your trick to spawn monsters non-stop. Quantification will be completed immediately, and then..."

"It's impossible." Seeing her getting more and more excited, I had to interrupt her fantasy aloud, "Not to mention that this move is extremely restrictive, just by looking at me like this, you can understand that it's impossible Continuously, right?"

Moon Shadow, it is a sword skill, but it is more like a means of using a sword, because its prerequisite is to have a "sword heart", first of all, it must find the enemy's weakness, and by analogy, it can easily Find the weakness of the same species, and then use the least amount of movement to ensure that the sword can pass through every 'point', which is extremely effective against groups of a single species, but also has a weakened effect on mixed groups of more than one species, because if it is not For the same life, their "points" will not be similar, and they must be found again, and the amount of calculation will increase greatly.But in fact, this is not a difficult point for me. With the eyes of the void, I can completely see through the other party's data. I don't need to bother like Kai Jianxin at all. As long as I find the weakness of one body and its corresponding data code, I can Find similar 'points' by comparison.The only thing that limits me is my physical strength. Although my body has recovered a lot because of this strange world, it is still far from the peak moment. It is the limit to barely use a sword, and the maximum number of catches will also be due to the opponent Changes depending on the strength of the monomer.

"Hey? Is that so?" Shi Shi was still visibly disappointed.Well, I can understand your feelings. It's like finally reporting to a big boss who can attack AOE in groups. When you plan to let him lead the dungeon, you find that the big boss is not tired. It's generally uncomfortable.

We chatted all the way, exchanged information with each other, and then learned that Shi Yiran was also a student of Xingjiang Middle School, but because he had dropped out of school for many years, he didn't know that the vice president of the student union Bingying and the former vice president long me.From what she said, the other participant seemed to be a student of Xingjiang Middle School, and it was just a coincidence.

Along the way, we never encountered such a large-scale monster attack as the phantom wolves before, and occasionally encountered a few phantom monsters of other forms, which were easily solved by Shi Yiyi. I have to say that she has lived so long in this world. Jiu also has a certain strength.In this way, we arrived at Wanhua Shopping Center without incident.

As the largest shopping mall in Xingjiang City, covering an area of ​​about 150,000 square meters, its existence can be easily found even from a bird's-eye view. 3D surround cinemas, Michelin-star restaurants, and luxury decorations from all over the world attract tourists every day. With a large number of customers entering, it can also rank in the top ten globally.We stood at the entrance of Gate A, looked up at this huge building, and deeply experienced the feeling of an elephant in the eyes of ants.I may have been here before, but I can't find the corresponding memory in my mind, so it can be regarded as my first time here. Bingying and Shi should have been here many times, but there is still a touch of awe in their eyes.Similar to other buildings, most of the walls of Wanhua Shopping City have been destroyed. From a distance, it looks like a cake that has been cut obliquely, but this still does not damage its majesty, dignified and proud Standing tall on this barren land.

Chapter 23 Meet Again

"We're here." Shi Yiran stopped, turned around and said to us, "Next, you just need to enter this shopping mall and find a fashion store on the second floor. The teleportation point is in the dressing room. I'm sending you off."

"Hey? Aren't you going in with us?" Bingying was taken aback.

Shi still shrugged and showed us the tattoo on her arm: "Although thanks to your blessings, I have increased a lot of energy, but it is still a bit worse. I don't know why, anyway, monsters and people who have not completed tasks You can't get into it, it's like a safe spot in a game."

"So, how about we help you?" I said suddenly.When my body barely recovered some strength, I immediately got off Bingying's back.

Shi still gave me a deep look, and refused with a smile: "Based on your current appearance, you should return to reality as soon as possible. And I still have things to do in this world."

"Are you going to help your companion? Because she is more dangerous alone?" I said.

"...Really, didn't someone tell you not to say everything?" She sighed.

"Sorry, a lot of people have said that, but I haven't changed it."

"It's really...then, let's see each other by fate." After saying that, Shi Yiran turned and prepared to leave.

"Ah, wait a minute." I suddenly stopped her.

"What's the matter? Don't you suddenly feel kind and want to go with me?" She said half-jokingly.

"I'm not kidding you." I said seriously, "Are you saying that monsters and people who haven't completed their tasks can't enter this mall?"

"Yes. What's the matter?" Shi was still taken aback.

"But in my opinion, there are quite a few monsters inside, and it's not just one or two monsters, but...hundreds and thousands." I said.Although they couldn't see it, in my right eye, the whole shopping mall turned into a 3D simulation image, and the red dots representing the enemy were densely distributed on each floor, and the lobby area was even more amazingly red, which meant plural The above enemies overlapped.

"How is that possible!" she said in shock.Judging from her reaction, there should be no possibility of deliberately deceiving us.

"I'm sorry, but this is reality." I spread my hands, "I said I can see something. If you don't believe me, you can see it yourself."

"If it is true, it will be troublesome." Shi still said dullly, "From this point of view, the teleportation point in this place must have been destroyed. If you want to go to the next teleportation point, you must at least walk up to the next teleportation point." It's a long way."

"Can the waypoint be destroyed?" I asked.

"I don't know, but this isn't the teleportation array drawn in the anime that can be destroyed as long as the runes are broken. The teleportation point itself is a space docking point. Do you think ordinary people may be able to destroy space?"

Maybe if I can find data that represents the space.Of course, I didn't say that, I just silently lamented the strength of the Eye of Xu.Although it seems that it can only be used as an auxiliary function at most, and it is easy to cause headaches, it does not affect its own powerful ability at all.Maybe, when I can really understand the meaning of those data, I will be able to reach the third realm that Master said?I am so looking forward to it.

"So what do we do next?" I asked.

"Then I can only go to the next place to have a look." Shi Yiran sighed and said, "I don't know why, I feel a little uneasy hearing you say that, just in case, it's better not to go in and die. However, To go to the next place, you have to go through Tianyi Square..."

"Is there anything there?" Bingying asked.

"Well... how should I put it, no monster dared to approach there. It is said that some people would hide there every time they were in danger, and saved themselves from danger several times, but since then, she has never come out from there... Anyway, it's a weird place, but it shouldn't matter if you just pass by occasionally. Ah, by the way, the 'Circle of Reason' is also there."

"The 'Circle of Reason'? Is that what you were talking about?"

"That's right. If it's here, you should be able to see it too. Here, it's here." Shi Yiran dragged us a little farther away, and pointed to somewhere, "That's right there."

Following the direction of her finger, we saw a big tree piercing the sky.Seeing it, I suddenly thought of the world tree that runs through the nine universes in Norse mythology, sprouting in the "past", flourishing in the "present", and extending to the infinite "future".The leaves are always green, its branches support the weight of the universe, and its roots run through the world.That's probably how it feels.

"See, this is the 'Ring of Reason', and some people call it the 'World Tree of the Void Domain'. As long as it doesn't fall down, the Void Domain can always exist."

"It's so big." Bingying praised.Indeed, the tallest known tree in the world is the Australian Almond Eucalyptus, which can reach a maximum of 156 meters, but it can only be counted as a small tree bud in front of this tree.Even after a long distance, we still feel the pressure it brings, and we can only roughly guess that its height is at least a thousand meters above.

"It is said that as long as the seven keys are collected, the door of the Ring of Reason will be opened, from which you can reach the highest point of the tree, knowing that the truth exists, but I don't want to. It's useless to say so much, let's go quickly Well, it shouldn't be long before the next wave of monsters attack... Hey, why did you stop?"

I pointed to the front, and the black-haired girl blocked our way.

"That guy... the visitor is not kind. From the looks of you, do you know her?" Shi still asked quietly.

It's more than acquaintance... It can even be said that she is the origin of our being involved in this world.

"It's a lie...why is Yao Xinchang here?" Bingying covered her mouth and said in disbelief.

It is indeed Yao Xinchang, not to mention that her iconic petite body is difficult to imitate, and the look in her eyes is also amazingly consistent with her. We have never seen her since Xia Luohua easily beat her back in the nightclub that night. I never thought that I would come to this world.

"Hand over that..." she stammered, stammering like a machine, but much better than the puppet-like look we'd first met her.

"Hand it over, what are you talking about?" I asked, but as expected I didn't get a reply.

"Recovery begins... confirm the target... 2." Yao Xinchang silently pulled out two daggers from the bottom of his trousers, and pointed the blades directly at where we were.

"It seems that we still have to fight...Although you seem to know her, don't blame me for not reminding you. The battle between the participants will never end. If you accidentally kill her, don't blame me."

"...It's okay, don't worry about us." I said softly, trying to get rid of the memory of her in my mind, "She is dead... Now she is just a shell driven by someone. All that can be done is to give it eternal rest."

"Yao Xinchang...?" Bingying bit her lips with a complicated look on her face, probably because she remembered the similar past of herself and her at the same time. If they met earlier, they might become good friends.However, there are no ifs in this world, there are only fates that have already been doomed.

Shi still shrugged, obviously didn't understand and didn't intend to understand the meaning of my words: "Does it mean that the action is allowed? If that's the case, then let's go together, a quick battle!"

It was said that they were together, but Shi Yiran and Bingying actually faced Yao Xinchang. As for me, because my body has not recovered, I can only lean on the wall of the ruins and watch the battle of the three quietly.

On the one hand, Yao Xinchang is still using the endless dagger that he did not know where to draw out silver lights in the air, resisting the attacks of the two with his own strength; Shi still finally took out her real weapon - a pure iron spear, who knows where she took it out, could it be that these guys all have four-dimensional skirt bottoms?It can be seen that her moves are not gorgeous, there are not too many routines, but they are very practical. Every move pays attention to killing the enemy in the simplest way, striving for a one-hit kill, and then finding the next enemy. This is a typical battlefield Spearmanship, I dare not call it the strongest, but it is definitely the most efficient, presumably this is the result of her months of honing in this world; as for Bingying, suffering from no weapons, she chose to go directly. Although it is only a move for self-defense, after adding her terrifying body attributes, every move can easily kill people, but it is limited to ordinary people. Invincible, but also very reluctant to deal with.

Well, don't look at what I said to be so relaxed and happy, but in fact, with their physical fitness times beyond ordinary people, their movements are all incredibly fast. At most, ordinary people can only see a flash of white light before their eyes, and then they don't know anything Now, I can only observe with the eye of the void.Every second is a matter of life and death, and every second may decide the winner in an instant. Even I, who was on the sidelines of the battle, broke out in a cold sweat.

Gradually, with the passage of time, the situation is gradually tilting in a direction that is still in their favor. After all, it is 2V1, no matter how strong Yao Xinchang is, it is very limited.However, for some reason, there was always a faint uneasiness in my heart, as if something bad was about to happen.

If you think about it carefully, what Yao Xinchang wants is indeed the witch seed in Shi Yiran and Bingying's body, right?That's why she just ignored me.But who actually ordered her to come?Could it be that the person instigating her is so confident in her strength and believes that she can win?The more I thought about it, the more uneasy I became, as if I was shrouded in a cloud of fog. When I reminded loudly, I still said: "Hurry up! I always feel that something bad is about to happen!"
