So I became a witch

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"How much time do you have?" I asked in a low voice.

"... Calculated by the time of this world, it should be less than a month." The girl said.

"That is to say, is the Star God Festival around..." I couldn't help showing a wry smile, "Is there no way to stop the witch?"

"It's hard, but there is still a way," the girl said.

"What is that?" I asked hastily.

"That is, to find the fourth Emperor's Artifact besides the Xingxiang Vanity, the Xingyin Sword, and the City of Eternal Time and Space." The girl said every word.

"……what?"

"This is also the clue I found from the materials left by the ancient gods. According to legend, the original star emperor Lytias created twelve pieces of emperor's equipment, and left his own power in different forms in the emperor's equipment. Middle. For example, the "connection" of the Star Seal Sword, the "seal" of the City of Time and Space Eternal Break... Every piece of emperor's weapon has power beyond imagination, but only the chosen one can exert its full power Ability."

"In that case, what does it have to do with finding other Emperor's Artifacts?"

"Because the emperor's artifact I want you to find, even among the twelve, has an extremely special status. Only those who are recognized by it can be called the true successors of the star emperor."

"...Wait a minute, I heard the saying, but as long as you are recognized by any of the emperor's weapons, you will automatically become a star emperor?" I raised my hand and asked.

The girl shook her head: "That's an inaccurate statement. In fact, in the long past that Star Clan still exists, it has been relying on the Emperor's Artifact to determine the successor of the Star Emperor. On this basis, the inheritance Only those who can be recognized by other Emperor's Artifacts. The more Emperor's Artifacts recognized, the stronger their aptitude. However, even in the history of Star Clan, there are only eleven Emperor's Artifacts at most. Those who are recognized were even once considered to be the reincarnation of the first generation of Star King... Sorry, it’s a little bit far-fetched. In short, only those who are recognized by that special emperor’s weapon are eligible to be called Star King.”

"It means that only if you are approved by that imperial weapon, can you be considered qualified to use other imperial weapons, right? In that case, what does this guy say? I have never seen the special emperor's weapon you mentioned. Artifact?" I raised my right hand, and the engraving of the Star Seal Sword was still tattooed on the back of my hand.Although the power of the Star Seal Sword is powerful, but to summon it, at least the power above the gods is required, so after coming to this world, I have never used it once, and it seems like nothing happened The same, has always quietly existed somewhere in my body.

The girl showed a rather distressed expression: "I am not very clear about what happened to you, at least it has never appeared in the data. Even if the legendary twelve clans are not selected, they can still use The power of the Emperor's Weapon, but that is only an incomplete ability. Like you, you can use the power of other Emperor's Weapons without being selected by that Emperor's Weapon, it is simply weird to the extreme."

"Even if you say that, the facts are right in front of you, and I can't help it." I shrugged and said.

"...In short, in order to prevent the recovery of the Four Witches, you must find the Emperor's Weapon."

"It's easy to say, the universe is so big, there are so many worlds and civilizations, where do you want me to find the other emperor's artifacts? It's not easy to know the whereabouts of the three pieces now. Besides, even if I find them, it may not be I can make the other party recognize me." I sighed, and to be honest, I was a little confused, although I was selected by the sword of the star seal for no reason, but after all, I am a witch, and I have nothing to do with this world, or even the whole universe. All the lives are enemies, but they want to be the Star King or something. It can be said that it is just a coincidence. No matter how you think about it, it is impossible for such things to happen one after another, right?

"However, this is the only chance now." The girl said heavily, "Also, don't worry, you should already know about the existence of that imperial weapon."

"……Um?"

"The name of the Emperor's Artifact is - the Crown of the Stars." The girl slowly said its name.

...I remember the name.

In the original world, on the way to accompany Xia Luohua to participate in the ceremony, I once heard Leo chatting with me about this imperial weapon.It is said that it was the first piece discovered by the demon hunters in our world, and it is also the emperor's weapon kept by the Irene family.According to Leo, it seems to be a sacred object chosen by Star Clan to inherit, symbolizing the supreme power. At that time, I thought it was just a symbolic thing, but I didn’t expect to know it from the girl today. How important is that imperial weapon.

...But, at the same time, I also remembered the next sentence Leo and I said.

"However, that imperial weapon also disappeared after fulfilling its mission in the war 400 years ago."

"Disappeared" here, does it mean lost, or can't be found?What does the "disappearance" of the Star Crown have to do with the war 400 years ago?

Damn, no matter what the result is, can't we still avoid the incident 400 years ago?Be it the erosion phenomenon on Clarence or the Star Crown, no matter what, the truth of that incident must be solved before we can go any further.

As if seeing my entanglement, the girl comforted me and said, "Anyway, at least you already know the clue, right? It's better than scrambling around like a headless chicken without knowing anything, right?"

"That's true, but isn't there only less than a month left? Since it's related to what happened 400 years ago, that means I have to go back to the original world before I can continue the investigation, but with my current Let alone a month, it will take at least a year of rest before it can recover, and the daylily will be cold by then." I sighed.

"You don't have to worry too much about this, I have a way to send you back," the girl said.

"Huh? Really or not?"

"Well, although I have failed many times, I finally have a clue this time. And less than a month is the time when the witch may wake up. In fact, if I work harder, I should be able to win more time."

"Oh, isn't this amazing!" I said with bright eyes.

"No, after all I've been here for so long, at least I have to play some role, I can't let you bear everything alone." The girl looked away in embarrassment, as if because she couldn't I am too used to compliments from others, "...Moreover, I would like to thank you for trusting me. Obviously, for you, we should only meet for the first time."

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"Because I don't think you're lying. Although I don't remember, we've met eleven times, right? According to the time I came to this world, it's been almost four months." I paused After a pause, I scratched my head embarrassingly, "How should I put it, I'm not joking, except for my family, the people I spend the longest time with are probably only three years old, so four months is quite a long time Lah. If that's the case, I don't have any reason not to trust you, do I?"

The girl burst out laughing: "According to this, the time I have known you may be much longer than you imagined."

"Hey, is it true or not?"

"Well, probably more than ten times what you think."

"Isn't it? Ah, could it be that the time after I got the necklace in the original world is added?" I thought for a while and said.

"...Let's think so for the time being." The girl smiled and changed the subject, "Let's go, I still have something I want you to see."

The girl waved her hand, and the tables and chairs we were sitting on and the collaged photos all disappeared without a trace. She turned around, and I followed her closely.All kinds of spliced ​​animal dolls appeared around us from time to time along the way, and then disappeared quickly, adding a bit of fairy tale fun to this grotesque world.

The deeper you go, the darker the color of the world, the space is no longer connected tightly, but becomes fragments, and in the end, the fragments become less and less, and only endless darkness is spreading.

And in the center of the darkness, the only ball of light is quietly suspended there, but if you look carefully, most of the ball of light has been corroded by unknown black matter, and even the light emitted has become lifeless stand up.

"This is the Heart of Eden." The girl's voice sounded from behind me.She was clearly walking in front of me before, but she didn't know when she fell behind, "It is the core of the Eden network, the last paradise of mankind...it should be like this."

"Looking at it like this, does it mean that the Eden network has been eroded?" I said subconsciously, for some reason, it suddenly occurred to me that someone had said similar words to me.

"That's right, that's right." The girl walked forward slowly and put her hand on the Heart of Eden, "The original Eden plan was to remove human beings from their physical bodies after the first cataclysm." It is a plan to be freed from the shackles of human beings, achieve spiritual sublimation, and avoid being "eroded". However, due to the appearance of the "savior", human beings got a respite, so they temporarily postponed this plan and concentrated on fighting against the "disaster beast" '. After hundreds of years of war, the first cataclysm was finally won. And the Eden Project has also changed from a paradise originally built for the spirit to today's Eden Network - in the history of mankind It seems to be recorded in this way, but the fact is not the case. The reason why the Eden plan was temporarily canceled was not because of the appearance of the 'savior', but because the people at that time discovered a terrible loophole in the Eden plan."

"The loophole...is it because of the erosion phenomenon?"

"That's right, although the Eden Network can resist the occurrence of 'corrosion phenomena' to a certain extent, its defense is not perfect. In the final analysis, the existence of the Eden Network depends on all human beings, and everyone is its Eden is the collective consciousness of all human beings, which is beyond the individual, but cannot be separated from the individual consciousness.”

"Collective consciousness?"

"Thanks to her composition, everyone has a certain 'influence' on Eden, but this 'influence' is not the same for everyone, there are so very few people who have a certain amount of 'influence' on Eden. influence. Although its influence on Eden will gradually decrease as it grows older, it can cause quite incredible phenomena when it is still young. People regard these children who are born with incredible power , collectively known as the 'Sons of Eden'."

"'Son of Eden'... Could it be that the loophole you mentioned is related to 'Son of Eden'?"

The girl nodded: "That's right. The existence of the Son of Eden is extremely rare, and only one baby will be born out of hundreds of millions of babies. Because of its huge influence on the Eden network, in order to prevent it from being used by people with evil intentions, Eden The Son of Eden will be protected by the government after birth and will last until the age of ten. Because of this, the existence of the Son of Eden is rarely known, and it is even difficult to prove it. As long as the Son of Eden is used, it is considered to be The sealed witch can also easily invade the Eden Network to achieve her goals. The scientists who developed the Eden Network at the beginning also parted ways because they discovered this problem. Unexpectedly, after that, someone rediscovered the original plan, and re-developed the Eden Network.”

"Wait, the ten years you said just now, does it mean anything?" I interrupted the girl.

"Because after the age of ten, the influence of the Son of Eden on Eden will be greatly weakened, and he will become similar to ordinary people, so naturally he will not be able to cause any huge disasters." The girl explained.

"So that's how it is. Then, if you want to find the Son of Eden, you can only start with children under the age of ten... Wait, can it be said..." I suddenly thought that after I came to this world, I was in the underground organization. , I saw the kidnapped children, "No way..."

"I'm afraid it's just what you think." The girl saw what I was thinking, "Those people must have been using this method to find the 'Son of Eden' all over the world."

"..." I rubbed my head. In this way, quite a few clues are connected together. Why are those guys obsessed with kidnapping children under the age of ten? If this is really to find the Son of Eden , "What are they looking for the Son of Eden for?"

"At least, it's definitely not for any good." The girl said, "Even I have been troubled a lot because of it."

"You said you too? That is to say..."

"Ah, according to what they said, I am also a 'son of Eden'." The girl said naturally.

"But you look more than ten years old at all!" I said in surprise.

"...For some complicated reasons, what I'm using now is just my virtual appearance in this world, and my real age is indeed less than ten years old." The girl said.

"No wonder you were able to appear in the core of Eden. Is this also because you are the son of Eden?"

"Well, that's right." The girl nodded lightly, "Because of the privilege of the Son of Eden, I can do many things, talking to you like this, and even using part of the emperor's weapon is one of them. Now , can you understand how terrifying the Son of Eden is?"

"No wonder those people want to find the Son of Eden. If it is used for bad things, the consequences are indeed unimaginable." I nodded, just look at Ye's appearance after knowing that they were cut off from the Eden network. Disabled people are no different. If the Son of Eden really has such a privilege, it will be a great thing for people living in this world.

"In this case, isn't your body dangerous? Do you need my help?" I said.This is also out of natural considerations. If the existence of the Son of Eden can really have such an impact on this world, then it must be based on the consideration of the first move, and the most important thing is to protect it.

"...No, don't worry about me. Probably, 'In this world, there is no one who can find me'." The girl's expression suddenly became a little strange, but since she said so, it must be nothing Question, "Compared to me, there should be more important things to do. As the witch wakes up day by day, I have to focus most of my attention on the world here, and the outside world has become more and more concerned. Less and less, but even so, there is one necessary thing."

"what is that?"

"I think, probably those people have found, besides me, another Son of Eden that exists in this world."

"...!!!"

"I don't know how to describe this feeling. You can understand it as the mutual induction between the children of Eden. I can feel it, and the other party can also faintly feel my existence. But, that's all .To find the 'Son of Eden' and protect it, this is the only thing I can ask you now. If the Son of Eden is obtained by those people, the consequences will be disastrous."

"I probably understand what you mean, but if those guys haven't found it after searching for so long, I'm just looking for a needle in a haystack, right?"

"If it was Luo Tianchen, he would definitely be able to do it."

"Stop, stop, don't put a high hat on me at this time, at least give me some characteristic hints?"

"Hmm... To be specific, for example, you are very good at machinery, and you are quite adaptable to dragon knights... etc?" the girl said uncertainly.

I was a little speechless: "Do you still dare to speak vaguely?"

"No way, even I haven't seen another Son of Eden, so I can only guess based on my own situation."

"On such a small condition, where do you ask me to find... No, wait a moment."

He is good at mechanics, and has considerable adaptability to dragon knights.

For the first time, the guy's face appeared in my mind.

"No, no, it shouldn't be such a coincidence... No way?"

"It seems that you already have some answers in your heart. I've said it all, as long as it's your words, you can definitely do it."

(The two chapters will be updated together today, and the next two chapters will be updated tomorrow)

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"No, that's why I'm not sure...Huh?" When I was speaking, the figure of the girl in front of me suddenly blurred for a moment.

"Ah, it seems that the time is almost here this time. The reason for using the BUG in the first place is that it is inevitable to be discovered." The girl said without any surprise.

"Um, does that mean it's over?" I scratched my head, "In short, just protect that 'Child of Eden' and find the Star Crown, right? Memories seem to disappear? Is it really okay?"

"Well, not this time, because—'This is the last time'." The girl said quietly.

I wanted to say more, but the white hole that appeared behind me was sucking me in with inexplicable gravity.

"That—by the way, can you tell me your name?"

"……Hey?"

"Although you may have told me many times, but since you also said that this is the last time, then, tell me one last time! This time, I will never forget it!"

"..." The girl opened her mouth, but said nothing.

In this moment, more than half of my body has disappeared into the white light behind me.At the moment when my whole body was about to be swallowed by the light, the girl's voice finally reached my ears.

"... Ling."

"For the time being, just call me that."

————————————————————

The first thing that came to my ears was the rustling sound of a leaf.Judging from the high hanging sunlight, the time should be around noon.I slowly sat up from the lawn where I lay down, shook off the weeds all over my body, and called out the system interface.

"12:57 p.m.... In other words, five hours have passed since the start of the game?" I shook my head, I didn't expect to stay in that strange space for such a long time.The machine that was originally damaged by the teacher has been repaired again, and it has regained a certain amount of combat capability for the time being.However, the previous simulated image has not changed back for some reason. Now I still use the same loli appearance as the real one. Fortunately, the dropped equipment will automatically adapt to the user's physique, otherwise it will be a joke up.

"In this case..." I turned my body sideways, avoided the impact of the rabbit behind me, then grabbed the back of its neck with my backhand, and smashed it to the ground forcefully.After a burst of shattering quantum effects, the rabbit’s body disappeared, and the points displayed on my interface increased from the original 0 points to 12 points, “It’s still 12 times... It seems that Kyle and the others should have survived well It's over."

I stretched, and checked my mind again whether there were any forgotten things: finding the Star Crown, protecting the Son of Eden, and... Ling's name.

I always feel that there is a feeling of inexplicable nostalgia.

In fact, there are still many things that I haven't had time to ask, such as her right eye, her origin, and why she can use the Emperor's Weapon... However, I subconsciously ignored all of these.Although I felt that she was hiding many things, I instinctively trusted her and would never do anything that would endanger me.

Why?Even I feel a little weird.I carefully took out the necklace, on the surface as smooth as a mirror, it seems that I can still feel the words Ling said to me.

In short, the next goal is to meet other people first, and then decide the next direction.Five hours is not long, but compared to 3 days, it has already occupied a considerable proportion.Considering that if you want to fight against a "natural disaster" like the teacher in the end, you must become strong enough, and three days is obviously not enough just to fight the equipment dropped by the mobs.

I'm afraid, in this world, there is still some method that I don't know about to upgrade equipment faster.

"Really, what the hell is that big guy? Why would there be such an S-level disaster beast in this small competition..."

"I'm afraid that's the so-called natural disaster. Don't complain, just because we can escape is already very powerful. However, can someone really defeat that kind of guy..."

After hearing other human voices, I decisively hid behind the tree, while poking my head out a little cautiously.After a while, the voice of the other party's conversation was getting closer and closer, and from the other side of the woods, two boys in similar clothes entered my field of vision at the same time.

"Who knows, those guys in the first batch may have found a way to level up quickly... Speaking of which, I have heard rumors about this event before."

"Oh, what is that?"

"For example, using points to exchange for equipment..."

"About that rumor, can you tell me?" I slowly walked out from behind the tree and looked at the two people in front of me with a smile.

"Who is it?" The other party resolutely made a counterattack gesture, but after seeing my appearance clearly, he was completely stunned, "Damn, why are you here?!"

"I want to ask you this question, but I didn't expect to meet you here." I waved my hand and said.

The person who came was Ling Qianqiu and Taki, one of the first few people I met in the previous rescue operation.Even I didn't expect to meet them here.

"Ah, it's been a long time since I said that. How are you doing recently?" Ling Qianqiu greeted him dryly, and even I could easily see the wavering in his heart.
