So I became a witch

In the following time, I went shopping with Sith.Sure enough, no matter which world the women are in, their enthusiasm for shopping is surprisingly consistent. After a while, the two of us had several big bags on our bodies, which were all kinds of gadgets that I had never seen before. I don't know what kind of use it has.After that, the time passed surprisingly quickly. When we returned to the bedroom, the sun was already setting, and the scavengers who had completed their day's homework came back to the town one after another from the desert, carrying a dusty environment with them. overcoat, sat in the tavern they were familiar with, and drank wine while thinking about today’s harvest. The guy with a good income smiled and asked the boss to add a few more side dishes, while the person with a poor income cursed secretly. While pouring a full glass of beer down his throat, he wondered where to make a fortune tomorrow.In the past ten years, this kind of daily routine seems to have never changed, and perhaps there will not be too many changes in the future.Although boring, for people who have been traumatized by disasters, ordinary is the most rare and precious thing.

After an afternoon of rest, Sith finally looked better. When we came back, she somehow turned on the wall-mounted TV in the room, and the announcer on the TV was talking about the day in standard United Nations language. The news: "Recently, a suspected residual trace of a certain existence was found near the [-]th forbidden area. According to the analysis of relevant experts..."

With a "snap", Sith changed the TV channel casually. On the TV, two strangely dressed guys were chatting about something one by one, probably because of the unique cross talk culture in this world.On the contrary, it made her take it very seriously. Although Sith and I can be said to have a life-and-death relationship, in fact, the relationship between her and me is not as close as that of Luo Yuze. I don't know exactly what she is thinking. I know, but it doesn't make much difference as long as you treat her like a child in general.

We had dinner together in the restaurant downstairs. Although the surrounding sight was a bit harsh, the food was still quite good.It is said that the food here is prepared by peeling off the inedible parts from the corpses of those beasts, and it is even tastier than ordinary domesticated animals.Having tasted the flesh of the fangs (which appear to be some sort of goanna-sized pack creature that travels in companions), I say yes.However, after the boss served a plate of pickled worms, Li Ye's complexion suddenly became ugly. It seems that the experience of being almost eaten still left a lot of shadow in her heart.

As we don't have a house, we naturally live with Li Ye temporarily. Fortunately, there is still a vacant bed in her home, probably left by her father before.Although I was a little embarrassed about using other people's relics, I agreed to her invitation.After almost a whole day of sleepless nights, Liye seemed to be really sleepy, and fell asleep the moment her head touched the pillow. After a while, there was a slight rhythmic breathing sound from the other side of the bed. .As for Sith, as I said, this guy's schedule is completely with children, and after watching TV for a while, he also fell asleep together.In the end, I was the only one left. Because I couldn't sleep, I walked out of the room, planning to go out for a little refreshment.

Since the door of the tavern was closed, I actually slipped out through the back door.The bright moonlight casts an extremely long shadow behind me, and the night in this small town is also very quiet. After a day of hard work, people, as if by convention, fell asleep at the same time.Although they have encountered terrible disasters, people in this world are stronger than I imagined. They neither cry nor despair, but try to maintain the same daily life.

Speaking of which, in fact, I am in trouble now, right?I was suddenly thrown into a strange place, and my strength was almost lost, but unexpectedly, I didn't feel any panic.Is it because of Sith's existence?Or are you used to it?

Chapter 59 Invasion

Sitting on a small table by the side of the road that has been closed, I turned on the watch after a long absence, and after a few laps of the gorgeous beam of light, it gradually formed a human shape on my shoulder.

"Yo, long time no see, Ling." I greeted the little man on my shoulder friendly.

"Confirming the surrounding environment... Contacting the host device... Failed to contact... Switching to offline mode... Confirming the identity, number D1086 executor Luo Tianchen, the connection has been successfully established." The villain slowly opened his eyes, The ethereal pupils that are not human-like are revealed.

It finally started successfully.My heart slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

When I was in the desert, the watch could not be started, which made me wonder if I accidentally damaged her in the battle with the Second Witch. Fortunately, after I came here, it finally worked as usual, otherwise I would have to repair her Forgive me, even if I have the Void Eye, it is a product of imitation of the Emperor's Weapon. For me who has lost power, without the help of Luo Yuze's super analytical power, if I want to understand this level of Existence is still very difficult.All in all, good results are good.

"Well, that, can I ask you to collect information around you?" I tried to ask.Although Teacher Ariel said that when she was handed over to me, it would be fine to treat her as an artificial intelligence capable of self-growth, but I still have no idea how far it can go.After all, excluding the activities in Xingjiang City, this is the first time I have carried out a mission with her.

Ling nodded, and his body slowly floated into the air.Various streams of information emerged around her, gradually forming a floating interface in front of my eyes.

"The surrounding information is being collected... the existence of a similar network system is found... the encrypted network is being deprogrammed... the analysis is complete... access to the network code has been allowed."

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhh." I gasped.Although I don't know what she did, the interface in front of me is indeed gradually becoming more visible.If it was my younger sister, maybe I would understand what she did better, but I can't say anything other than amazing.

Finally, when the information flow stopped, what appeared before my eyes was a complete system standby interface.

But... why is it a win10 system?Isn't this a different world?This is too strange, right?

"The system has been reverse-coded, taking into account the comprehension ability of the executor, so a matching operation interface has been created." Ling explained expressionlessly.

I don't know why, but thank you anyway.Otherwise, if I directly bring the operating system of this world to me, considering the differences between the two worlds, I may not be able to use it.This time, I will accept your sincerity with gratitude.

"Well, let me see..." I temporarily opened the browser and saw the Google interface on the home page. I resisted the desire to complain, and after thinking about it, I entered the title of "News" in Federal language. The interface instantly jumps to the search results.Sure enough, as Ling said, he simply created an operating system that I am familiar with. As for the content, it is completely information from this world.

However, although the system made by the spirit is comprehensive, it is really too fragmented.She bought the headlines regardless of the popularity of clicks, but all the news, whether good or bad, true or false, was carried over by you in one brain, which also led to me having to independently judge which one in the huge data stream. News is what works for me.

"Looking for the lost Las Vegas, please contact..."

"Habengen VS Xingjiabi, the odds are 1:2.5, I will buy and leave..."

"It's a new version of the ship I've never seen before..."

"Congratulations... I went to some strange things."

Boringly flipping through all kinds of news, it turns out that there are so many junk advertisements and marketing accounts in other worlds, which really opened my eyes.If you want to find useful news from so much information, it is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.But on the one hand, I was really bored, and on the other hand, it was fun to learn about foreign cultures, so I settled down and kept scanning various titles at a glance.

Finally, my eyes fixed on a search result.

"Conclusion of the research report on the Second Cataclysm."

I took a deep breath and double clicked on the link.After a brief silence, the page jumps to a pure black webpage, leaving only a white password input box, the cursor keeps flashing, and the countdown number displayed on the top keeps jumping and decreasing. Obviously, when the countdown jumps When it is 0, absolutely something bad will happen.

"Spirit." I called out in a low voice.She immediately understood what I was thinking, and gently put her hand on the screen. In an instant, countless numbers began to jump on the screen, and the countdown was still beating quietly, but there were hundreds of millions of people every second. Wan's characters flashed under the undercurrent.

"4,3,2,1, 1, [-], [-]..." The countdown number finally stopped at "[-]", and a long green bar suddenly appeared below the white input box, showing the percentage of progress.

When the progress bar finally reached 100, the black screen suddenly changed, and the information of this private website was completely displayed in front of me, and the survey about the "big cataclysm" just displayed was clearly placed on the home page of the document .

"Hmm...so that's the case..."

After a cursory reading, I roughly understand the core of this report. 150 years ago, at the time when the world was still in the initial stage of space exploration, people accidentally discovered ultra-ancient technologies buried underground, and a world war surrounding these technologies began.In the end, this war ended with the victory of the "Shenzhou Kingdom", but in the end, the Shenzhou Kingdom chose to announce these technologies to the public. Human civilization once entered a stage of rapid development. In just a few decades, it has entered the Milky Way galaxy. the edge of.However, all these dreams ended when the first catastrophe occurred more than 100 years ago.

The monsters from the void easily devoured the ships and spaceships built by humans, and even countless lives. The population of tens of billions was directly reduced to a few hundred million. People had to shrink their battle lines and developed a kind of warship called "Dragon Knight". "weapon, cultivate qualified boys and girls all over the world, and send them to the battlefield continuously.In this way, after nearly half a century of war, people finally drove out those monsters in the void, and regrouped on the devastated land.

Chapter 60 The Judge

However, half a century later, that is, ten years ago, the second cataclysm happened again.This time the main enemies are no longer creatures from the void, but monsters from the native land.After being eroded by some unknown virus, the animals on the earth mutated one after another. While growing black crystals on their bodies, their size suddenly became hundreds of times larger, and their personalities became violent and irritable.Among them, the most powerful individual is the 72-pillar "beast" who calls himself "the judge" and has the appearance of a human girl.

"Sure enough, this is the world I know..." I muttered to myself.At least so far, the development of this world is no different from the world I know from Alyssa.

There is also a link to a document in the part about 72 Pillar Beasts. I subconsciously clicked into it, and the screen immediately jumped to the research module about 72 Pillar Beasts. The huge pillar that grows directly, and on the top of the pillar, among the blooming flowers, a beautiful girl stands proudly between the sky and the earth.Although it has a similar appearance to humans, there is no doubt that it is definitely not a mere human existence.The document also shows that within the range where the pillar exists, a terrible virus will continue to be emitted. Most of the creatures in the assimilated area will die during the mutation process, while the living beings that survive will change. For the terrible "beast".

Simply, it is no different from cancer.

The 72 pillar beasts do not only exist on the earth, but also appear in all areas under the jurisdiction of human beings. There are exactly 72 pillars together, so they are collectively called 72 pillar beasts.Of course, no one can guarantee whether there are similar beasts in the depths of the universe that humans have not discovered.

The following report is nothing more than some observations and guesses about the 72 pillar beasts, and named them respectively. I don’t know whether it is a coincidence or necessity. The names of the 72 pillar beasts correspond to the 72 demon gods of Solomon that I know. Legend has it that the girl with golden pupils and black eyes I met was also on it, serial number 33, and her name was Jiabo.

"Research on the 72 Pillar Beasts—the 72 Pillar Beasts not only have the appearance of a human girl, but also have extremely high intelligence far beyond human beings. According to rough communication, they call themselves 'judges' and come from a certain The creation of the Supreme Being. (Note: For the part of 'Supreme Being', please refer to Document 17——Warning, the document has been deleted for unknown reasons and cannot be read.) The judge cannot leave the range where the Pillar of Void is located, but, However, it is possible to sow sub-pillars in various places by sowing seeds to achieve the level of creating clones. Unless the main pillar is completely cut down, the judge cannot be killed just by cutting down the sub-pillar. Every judge With a special ability, if there are less than one dragon knight in the brigade when the judges are found, they must report back immediately. There are also differences in the combat power of the judges, but even so, they are far beyond the normal range... "

Judge? It's exactly the same as what I know.There is no doubt that there is an inevitable connection between them and the witch. In all likelihood, that "supreme being" may be the fourth witch I am looking for—the witch of corrosion.However, what is strange is that, apart from the "Supreme Existence" part of this report, there is no part about the Four Witches throughout the report.Can it be understood that people in this world have not yet learned the cause of the catastrophe, but it actually came from the prophesied witch?Or, did he not know of her existence at all?

If, as Attil said, the Four Witches awakened in this world, then the result would be absolutely devastating.Just like the birth of the Nine Witches, who used the whole world as a sacrifice, the awakening of the Four Witches cannot be a trivial matter, at least it is definitely more terrifying than the so-called first and second cataclysms, However, the records about this part have not been handed down, so there are only two possibilities, one is that the four witches do not exist in this world at all, and the other is that the awakening process of the four witches was interrupted by someone.

In the absence of evidence, I personally prefer the second possibility.Although both the first and second cataclysms have dealt a devastating blow to humans in this world, the source of the catastrophe is still inconclusive.However, if that was just a sign of the Witch's awakening, everything would be much easier to explain.If there is no accident, the appearance of the 72 Pillar Beasts actually means that the Witch's awakening is coming to an end, however...

I turned my attention to the end of the report, and there was only one sentence: "In November, 2170 AD, all judges confirmed that the crusade was completed."

According to the time I confirmed with Lie, today is August 2174, 8, which means that it is exactly four years ago in AD 15, which is the year when mankind declared victory in the second cataclysm.

The time when I enrolled in the simulated physical examination was September 2169, 9. At least at that time, human beings were still suffering from the infestation of 1 pillar beasts and had to reduce their living areas.And a year later, it was announced that all the judges had been crusaded. What happened in this year?

I built another website and started searching for what happened between 2169 and 2170, but no matter how I searched, there was nothing about what happened in that year.

Yes, it is blank.It's not that nothing happens, and it's not that no one notices, but pure blankness.It's as if someone took out an eraser and erased the history of that year from the timeline.This made me even more curious, what happened to make all the 72 judges finish their crusade, and the witch also lost her response.

"Ling, explore further." I gave an order to Ling.

"Warning, it is about to enter the core area, there is a possibility of being discovered, do you want to continue to execute this order?"

"Execute." I clicked Confirm without hesitation.The picture in front of me changed again, all the text disappeared, and only one key word was left flashing in the center of the screen.

"Red hair... Reaper..." I murmured out the name.

"!!!!!!" The next moment, the screen in front of me turned completely bloody red, and all the exclamation mark prompts almost filled the entire interface.

"Warning, the unknown source of infection is eroding... the current progress, [-] percent... is undergoing anti-tracking and editing processing... it is coming out, please order."

Chapter 61 Underground Ruins

"Get out." I shouted subconsciously, the screen in front of me suddenly shattered, and turned into countless light spots again, dissipating in the sky.

Well, it looks like my actions were accidentally discovered.This is no wonder, after all, it can be said to be the highest-level secret in this world, so it is impossible not to pay attention to it.Fortunately, Ling responded in a timely manner and did not leave any clues for the other party to track, otherwise I would not be able to bear it if I was approached directly.

"Ling, are you okay?"

"It has been determined that the 'bait' was preyed on and successfully escaped the tracking range."

"Well, that's fine."

Looking at the last look of the other party rushing up aggressively, it seems that at least this time will not be able to use this method to connect to the Internet again, otherwise there is still the possibility of being tracked.

"I didn't expect that I just wanted to stroll around, but suddenly I caught a big fish..." I couldn't help but smiled wryly.What happened during the year of disappearance greatly fueled my curiosity.Depending on the situation, it might be the key to defeating the witch.Even the witch in the prophecy is definitely not invincible.Somehow, I had a premonition. From the moment I pulled out the sword, or maybe even earlier, I was destined to inevitably have an intersection with the Prophecy Witch in the future.Instead of sitting still, it is better to collect more relevant information before that day arrives. For opponents who can manipulate karma, karma is the best way to defeat them.

Originally, I just wanted to accompany Liye to the capital and find a way to go back. Now it seems that there are still many secrets hidden in this world that I don't know.Why are the four witches sleeping in this world?Why did she appear in this world?Who on earth prevented her from waking up?The truth of these things is unknown to me now.

"Thank you, Ling. Turn off the phone for now." I said.The spirit floating in the air nodded slightly towards me, and the body overflowed into countless light particles again, and returned to the watch along the original path.I really underestimated her before, if I knew there was such a convenient existence, I should have taken it out and used it earlier.

I stretched out, and after wandering out for so long, I gradually became sleepy. While yawning, I went back to the back door, only to see a figure coming out of it.

Judging from that burly figure from the back, it couldn't be the boss, right?Although it is a bit inappropriate for me to say this, it is too suspicious to go out alone at such a late hour.

I quietly hid behind a huge roller. The boss obviously didn't notice my existence. After looking around for a while, he hurriedly left the building and walked towards the outside of the town.

Suspicious, really too suspicious, it was like writing "I have a problem" on his face.When I became curious, I lost all sleepiness, and Maoshen followed behind him silently.

As a result, he walked out of the town so directly.I remember Li Ye said that at night, the strength of those beasts will be greatly enhanced, so almost no scavengers dare to go out in the middle of the night, and this knowledge is precisely what the boss told her.It is said that the boss was also a scavenger before, but he chose to open a tavern here after losing his right eye.The reason why he went out in the middle of the night despite violating the rules among the scavengers was quite intriguing.

While hiding behind the rock pillar, I followed the big man into the depths of the desert.We didn't meet herds of beasts along the way, and even the plants in the desert gradually became scarce.I remember that I saw this area on Liye's map. For some reason, neither the herd nor other creatures were willing to come here, and the scavengers who approached here never went back.Liye once explored its edge, but returned after instinctively sensing the danger, so the part of the map related to this area was drawn with a big blank.Not only did I enter the desert late at night, but I even headed straight towards the blank area, which made my curiosity even stronger.

The boss didn't notice that there was a stalker behind him, or in other words, he never thought that he would be followed.Suddenly, after turning over a rock wall, the figure of the boss disappeared from my eyes.

I didn't panic, but carefully scouted the vicinity, and finally found a passage leading down behind an inconspicuous stone.The stone wall near the passage has obvious traces of being chiseled artificially, so it is obviously impossible for it to be naturally generated.Here, the broken footprints of the boss are reconnected, and it seems that he has probably entered it.

The inside of the passage is extremely narrow, even now I can barely walk upright. If it is the boss's burly figure, it is possible to move forward only by bending over or lying on the ground. Judging from the marks left on the strip, it should be quite hard work.

Fortunately, this passage is not as long as I imagined. Not long ago, there was a bright light. I carefully stuck out half of my head, and the field of vision suddenly became wider. What appeared in front of my eyes was a huge Perhaps due to crustal movement or earthquakes, the entire city was completely buried underground, forming a huge cavity, and the passage I walked through before was the entrance to it.There were several other similar entrances on other walls, but nine times out of ten they were somewhere else.

Suddenly, I remembered the huge ancient city I saw in the underground of Qianyu Academy.Although the city in front of me is somewhat similar to that, it is far smaller than the ruins of Qianyu Academy in terms of scale and scope.However, there is no doubt that this place is indeed a "House of God".Why is there a house of gods underground in the Savia Desert?Why did the boss detail the road here?Why did other scavengers who came here disappear?With my head full of doubts, I started to turn my perspective, and slowly looked at the underground city from a height.The streets of the city are lit up with pillars of fire, and the light I saw just now came from these pillars of fire.It obviously couldn't belong to this ruins, it could only be brought in by outsiders.You can see a group of guys in strange white clothes, holding guns and cold weapons, patrolling the streets expressionlessly. If they all add up, there are probably more than a hundred people.

Chapter 62 Escape

There are so many people living in an underground city. Judging by their appearance, it is obviously not a matter of staying here for a day or two.And their expressions are quite weird, they are said to be expressionless, but they are actually closer to machines, as if a group of zombies are walking there.

Underneath the small town, there is such a city, and there is a team of more than a hundred people living here, but Liye, who is a senior among the scavengers, knows nothing about it. The feeling of intrigue.I'm afraid, even in a different world, my physique of always encountering troubles still played a role. Obviously I just followed out of curiosity, but I never thought about being involved in any strange incidents.

To be honest, I really want to just turn my head and leave. After all, Liye and I will leave this town completely in a few days. No matter what they do, it is impossible to harm me. Tell me that the relationship of cause and effect is not so easy to get rid of.Since I discovered this place, I have been connected with everything here. If I just run away blindly, one day, it will come to the door by itself in some unexpected way.From the moment I was promoted to Shenyao, some changes seemed to begin to take place in the Eye of Xu, and even the existences that could not be understood in the past, such as fate, such as karma, gradually began to seem to be able to see a trace of outline.But now, the small town, Liye, and the city, the lines of cause and effect that ordinary people cannot see, have been quietly connected with me.

Sure enough, it still can't be left alone.However, if you go on rashly like this, you will simply startle the snake.Just when I was having a headache, I inadvertently caught a glimpse of a small room dug close to the rock wall on the right side of the passage exit. A wooden stake was inserted in the room every ten centimeters. Connected together, the space inside and outside the room is isolated, it looks like a factory tent where people raise chickens in the countryside, or a prison.Faintly, I saw some shadow slowly wriggling in the dark corner.

No, it was not a shadow, but a child in rags.I don't know why, but I suddenly looked familiar to that child.

...Ah, I remembered.In the morning, on the way to the black market mansion with Li Ye, I once saw a slave trader in all black, leading several tattered children.The one I see now is one of them.

Why, children who were sold as slaves, would come to such a place and be imprisoned in a wooden prison?

I can't figure it out, but it doesn't stop me from moving.The people here are quite loose about the prison, probably because they don't believe that the frail child can escape from here at all.Although there is a wooden fence, it is only more than one meter high. I easily hid in the blind spot of the guard's field of vision, walked through the fence without a sound, and jumped into the small room.

Being this close, I saw the child's face more clearly.Sure enough, it was one of the few people I met in the morning. At this moment, he was hugging his legs and curled up in a corner, motionless, his eyes seemed to be dead, and even my arrival couldn't make him have the slightest reaction .

"Hey, hey, can you hear me? Is there any reaction?" I lowered my voice and asked.

The child raised his head slowly, Aokiji's face was covered with dust, and he looked at me with dull eyes: "... who?"

Great, at least it's not getting weird like those guards.I breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to ask in a low voice: "It's too troublesome to explain. In short, I shouldn't be part of this group of guys. Can you tell me what happened here? And with you Where did the other children of the family go?"

"The others...everyone...were all taken away...together...Wow!" He seemed to suddenly recall some bad memory, his pupils dilated suddenly, and his expression became distorted.I was startled, and quickly covered his mouth before he cried out, and made a silent gesture at the same time.

"I'm sorry, but please calm down now. If someone else finds out, it will be a big disaster. I will save you, so please rest assured, okay? Anyway, take a deep breath first to calm your mind Calm down. Got it? Just blink if you get it."

The kid blinked, and my words seemed to have succeeded in calming him down.I slowly let go of my hand, and the child's eyes gradually recovered, and he asked in a low voice, "Are you also arrested?"

"……what?"

"Because they caught a lot of kids here..."

"No, no, no, I'm not a child, I'm an adult." I pointed out his mistakes emphatically.

"But..." The child raised his hand and made a gesture on top of his head and mine, "It's obviously about the same height as me?"

"..." No, you have to hold back, if you refute here, you will lose.

"Anyway." I changed the subject forcefully, "I wasn't arrested, I came here by myself. Can you tell me what happened here? What are these people and this city doing?"

"I don't know, it's just that I saw many, many children were caught here, and then they were taken away immediately. Since then, they never came back. In the end, I was the only one left..." The child Suddenly he covered his head and let out a painful groan, obviously recalling some bad memories.

"Calm down, calm down." I gently stroked his head, "If it's something you don't want to think about, then you don't have to recall it. It's not the same thing to stay here, let's go out together first and then talk about it."

"Go...go?" The child looked at me in confusion, and then at the wooden fence that was about his height.A fence that seemed nothing to me seemed like a skyline to him.

"Ah, it's like this. Pay attention to hold your breath and don't talk." I easily hugged him, the child let out a soft cry, and quickly covered his mouth with both hands.

Fine, that's it.Although I'm only at the first and second level of Fan Chen, it's still easy to just hold a child.In this way, we followed the way we came all the way and returned to the outside of the cave.

"So... came out?" The child stared blankly at the star-studded night sky, and suddenly burst into tears.It seems that our luck is not bad, or in other words, the group of guards didn't consider the possibility of someone escaping from there at all, so they relaxed their vigilance, but they happened to seize the opportunity for me.

Chapter 63 Infiltrating

"Well, take off your tattered clothes first, since you have already escaped, there is no need to wear those clothes." I said while taking out the small ball that Xia Luohua gave me.Although I don't want to admit it, I am not much different from this kid in terms of body size, so the clothes Charlotte prepared for me can also be used by him.

"Yeah." The child nodded obediently. It seems that he has begun to trust me unconditionally since he was rescued by me.

After groping around in the storage ball, I finally came up with a suit that fit him a little bit, but when I turned around, I froze.

"...Sorry, I didn't know you were a girl." I said with some embarrassment.But it's not my fault!After all, the place was so dark, she was dressed so thinly, and her hair was short, it would be impossible for other people to recognize her.

"?" The little girl I rescued looked at me strangely, as if she didn't understand why I made such a move.Well, if you think about the benefits, then you don't have to worry about the clothes that Xia Luohua chose for me will have some bad influence on her. Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations.

"Anyway, let's put these on first." I coughed lightly and handed over the clothes in my hand.As for the sackcloth that was full of holes on the ground, although I originally planned to find a hole in the ground and throw it away, after thinking about it, I carefully put it away.
