So I became a witch

"The tide of erosion... finally broke out completely." Elvis, who was covered by the black substance, did not feel panicked at all, but his voice became joyful, "Now, the last condition has been fulfilled... We, here, will usher in a new life."

I opened my mouth to say something, but in the next second, my body was completely swallowed by the pitch black water.

……

so light.

My body was unbelievably light, and it seemed like I hadn't felt so light in a long, long time.

The surroundings are quiet, there is no sound or light, and in the eternal darkness, it seems that I am the only one existing.

……

who I am?

Why, here?

No, those don't matter anymore.My mind is so sleepy, and now I just want to sleep well.

"..."

sound.

It seems that someone is calling my voice.

Don't sleep, don't give up.The voice seemed to be saying so.

Enough is enough, stop talking.

Let me sleep well.

I already...don't want to suffer anymore.

……

"No."

In the darkness, a light suddenly lit up.

spirit?Why, in this place.

No, what I care more about than Ling's words is the figure standing beside her.

"...Ling...why..."

"This is your spiritual network. With the help of this child, I finally got in touch with you at the last moment."

"No...it's too late...the me now...can't do anything..."

"No, it's not the time to give up. It's hard to get to where I am today, and I finally found a solution. I already... don't want to see you die in front of my eyes anymore."

"You're talking..." My voice stopped abruptly, and the girl's appearance gradually melted before my eyes, and then turned into a familiar appearance that I can no longer be familiar with.

That is, myself.

"You are... Ye Qianmo?"

The girl shook her head, her eyes filled with sadness: "Ye Qianmo is my mother, Luo Yan is my father...my name is Luo Tianling."

She suddenly stretched out her hand and held me firmly. In an instant, the light on her body completely attracted me in.

————————————————————

Girls don't have mothers.

Ever since she had memories, she has been following her father and living a wandering life.Although she also asked her father where her mother had gone, whenever this happened, the gentle father would suddenly become silent and stare into the distance without saying a word.

"For her... I will ask you to take care of it for the time being." The father is always doing some work that the girl doesn't know about, and whenever this happens, he will entrust the girl to his older sister to take care of.It was a very gentle woman, the girl once regarded her as her own mother, but after she asked such a question, the woman always shook her head and said.

"I'm not your mother. Your mother...she's gone far away."

After the girl grew up a little bit, she finally understood the meaning of this answer, and also realized that she would never be able to see the appearance of the woman who gave birth to her.

"Really, are you going to do those dangerous jobs again? She will never come back. So, at least think about Ling."

"...I know, but if I don't do this, more people will definitely die. So I must solve all this before the irreversible situation happens."

"but……!"

When the dispute between the two finally ended, the girl timidly walked out of the house, looked at the woman standing blankly in front of the hall, and asked slowly: "Father, is he going out again?"

The woman was silent for a moment, then smiled at the girl.She touched the girl's head and said, "Yes, your father is going to do some important work."

"Father, will he come back?"

"Of course, don't worry, he'll be back soon."

(There is only one chapter for the time being today, mainly because I have thought about the plot after a long time and the foreshadowing before, writing and revising, and finally I just barely finished ORZ)

Chapter 230 Four: The Past

Repeated words over and over again, night after night alone.

Her father is often missing, and her aunt is away from home all year round because of work. At this time, the only thing she can do is to get into bed early and meet "it" in her dreams.

Eden, that's what it calls itself.Since when did it start to enter your dreams from time to time?Girls don't know.Maybe it was when she cried alone at night, hoping to have someone to accompany her; or, since she was born, Eden has been by her side all the time.It was because of the existence of Eden that her childhood was not so vain.

No one knew of the existence of Eden, not even her father knew that his daughter possessed this talent.Eden told her many things, stories that happened around the world, even on other planets, and the history of this world, which made her understand that the world she lived in was not so beautiful.

Cataclysm, erosion, witch, calamity... no matter which vocabulary is far beyond the scope of her age, but the girl still instinctively senses the uneasiness.

"In that case, isn't Dad very dangerous?"

"..."

"Answer me, there is no way, can you help Dad?"

"..."

At that time, she still couldn't understand the meaning of the complicated expression on Eden's face.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the girl has already passed her ninth birthday.Today's father still didn't come home, and my aunt went to the laboratory because of work. The bored girl, while exploring at home alone, accidentally found a door in the basement that she had never entered before.

She tried to push the doorknob, but the door opened easily, and the dusty air circulation made her sneezed a few times involuntarily.It was an old warehouse, filled with all kinds of things that I had never seen before. On the dusty table was a very old photo, which showed my father and a strange girl when he was young They hug each other with bright smiles on their faces.

The instinct from her blood told her that the girl in the photo was her mother whom she had never met.She wiped the photo frame lightly, and suddenly thought that since she could remember, she had never seen her father show such a smile.It was as if a hand was holding his heart tightly, and there was a strange pain in his chest.

She let go of her hand subconsciously, and the photo frame fell back on the table with a crisp sound.The girl hurriedly picked up the photo frame, wanting to check if it was damaged, but suddenly found something falling from the back of the photo frame.

It was a long silver chain, and the silver chain was connected with a blue jade, emitting a faint light.The girl raised the necklace curiously. Just at this moment, there was a sound outside the door of the house. It seemed that the aunt had returned home.The girl rushed out of the basement, closed the door again, and appeared in the hall pretending to be nonchalant.Even she herself didn't know why she was so flustered, maybe she didn't want to be known that she had entered that room.Fortunately, it seems that my aunt just came back to pick up some documents, and left in a hurry without finding any new footprints in the basement.It wasn't until the girl sat on the bed alone again that she noticed that in a panic, she actually took the necklace out of the basement.

Forget it, put it back in tomorrow.The girl with such thoughts in her arms gradually fell asleep.

That night, she had many dreams, dreaming of the shadow of her father who was still by her side, dreaming of a mother she had never met, and many other people and things...

"It's time to get up and have breakfast." The familiar words brought the girl back to reality from her sleep, but the voice was not the usual one.

She slowly opened her eyes, staring blankly at the figure at the door: "Why... Dad is here?"

"Huh? What are you talking about. Wash your face and brush your teeth by yourself. Don't make your aunt wait." After saying this, Dad turned around and went downstairs.

Too strange.Obviously, Dad just left the house a few days ago. According to the usual practice, he will not come back until at least a month later.Could it be that the task was temporarily canceled?Without thinking too much, the girl put the necklace on the bedside table into her pocket, not noticing that the moment the jade stone touched her, it shone for a moment.

"Dad, doesn't he have work today?" She asked a little awkwardly while sitting at the dining table.

"Well, I will probably stay at home for a few days." The man replied.

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

The girl turned her head, and the daily news happened to be broadcasting on the TV, the intensification of erosion, the outbreak of disasters in various places-it can be said that there is nothing good at all.But what really attracted her was the time displayed in the upper right corner of the TV.

……is that a lie?Isn't this time a month ago?Could it be that the news got it wrong?

Subconsciously, she checked the other clocks in the house, but the time pointed to exactly the same number.Then the girl suddenly remembered why she suddenly had the illusion of déjà vu.

That's right, whether it's the news or the fact that father is still at home, all of this happened a month ago.

It wasn't that the time was wrong, but that I... went back to a month ago.

Things in the next few days were exactly as she knew, developing completely towards the situation in her memory, which made the girl more and more sure that she had indeed returned to the past.But is this accidental, or some kind of inevitability?The girl searched for a long time, and finally locked her target on the necklace that she took out of the warehouse.

Just try it again, the girl clenched the necklace as if in the past, and fell asleep while dreaming about a certain point in time.

When she woke up again, the first thing she did was to confirm the date and time.And the result was not beyond her expectation, she returned to the world a full year ago.Surprised, she told Eden about it, but Eden's cold words poured cold water on her.

"...No, don't use this power again."

"why?"

"...I promised your mother that I will definitely protect you. So, don't use that forbidden power again."

"Do you know my mother?"

"..."

"Why didn't you tell me? What is your relationship with Mom? How did Mom die? Why did you entrust you to protect you? What are you?" the girl asked in one breath.

Chapter 230 Five Memories

"..."

"Why didn't you tell me? What is your relationship with Mom? How did Mom die? Why did you entrust you to protect you? What are you?"

"..."

Eden remained silent, never answering the girl's question from beginning to end.The impatient girl finally couldn't help it: "Forget it! I don't care about you! As long as I have this necklace, I can go back to the past and see my mother by myself!"

"No, if you do that..."

Ignoring Eden's dissuasion, the girl clenched the necklace in her hand while praying in her heart.

I want to go back to the past, back to the time when my mother was still alive in this world.

If you really have this power, then please respond to me.

The flickering white light enveloped the girl's whole body, and when she opened her eyes again, everything changed.

She turned her head, and the house she was familiar with disappeared without a trace at this time, and the green plain stretched as far as the horizon of sight.

Here it is.Nine years ago, before the second catastrophe broke out.

The girl understood this immediately, and when she subconsciously wanted to find her mother, her body naturally floated into the air.She was surprised to see her body freely shuttle between the woods and the sky, and immediately understood something.

By the way, because the current self has not yet been born, so for this world, the current self does not exist, and can only appear here in the form of a ghost.

However, it doesn't matter now. She tried hard to recall the address of the hospital where she was born, but the world seemed to have changed a lot ten years later and ten years ago. It took her longer than expected to finally find the address. that place.

As long as you step through this door, you can see your mother.Looking at the tall building in front of her, the girl thought so.

Then, she stepped out.

"——!!!!!!" There was a loud roar.

No one knew what happened. The sky, which was still clear just now, suddenly became cloudy.Countless pitch-black vines broke through the hard plank road and wrapped around the buildings.Among the flowers that bloomed from the vines, countless dark monsters fell on the street, devouring passers-by mercilessly.

Screams, cries, one after another.The girl stared blankly at the hell-like scenery in front of her, and even forgot her purpose.

She remembered that the day she was born was the beginning and end of the second cataclysm that was considered by the history books.

No, I have to find my mother!She suddenly remembered the reason why she came here, turned around and rushed into the crowded hospital.Everyone was running away, only she rushed in without hesitation.Normally, as long as you use the Eden network to inquire about the cases, you can quickly find the patient's house.But now, as a ghost in this world, I can't touch anything.

Operation Department, Operation Department, Operation Department... The girl quickly scanned the addresses on the notice boards, and finally locked herself firmly in one of them.

13 floors!With a light leap, her body floated through the ceiling just as she thought it would.Calamity beasts have completely invaded this hospital, and the broken corpses of patients can be seen everywhere. The air is filled with a strong smell of blood, and there are even quite a few calamity beasts eating right in front of her eyes.The girl held her breath involuntarily. Even though she knew that the other party couldn't see her at all, she still couldn't help but feel a sense of fear permeate into her mind little by little.

This is the real Second Cataclysm, and its cruelty far exceeds the content in the textbook.

No, now is not the time to think about that.The girl forced herself to calm down.I have reached the thirteenth floor, the whole floor is quiet and scary, no living people can be seen anywhere, only the footsteps of the plague beasts patrolling around are ticking.Could it be that he has escaped?

"Wow————" Suddenly, the baby's cry broke through the cage called silence, and in an instant, all the disaster beasts unanimously poked their heads in the direction of the sound.After a while, a figure suddenly rushed out of the obstacle and ran towards the stairs.

The girl's blood froze.She immediately recognized the identity of that figure, it was the mother she had seen in that photo and had never met.And the crying baby in her arms is probably the newborn self.

All the disaster beasts swarmed up and followed behind the woman, and because they felt the breath of fear, the crying of the baby became louder.However, the woman's speed gradually slowed down, and her bloodless face showed her weakness at this time. The blood gradually spread from the abdomen, staining a large area of ​​the hospital gown red.But even so, she still did not leave the baby in her arms, gritted her teeth and fled forward.

The Calamity Beast quickly caught up with her, its sharp claws completely tore open the woman's back, and she was sent flying while holding the baby.Just as the Calamity Beasts swarmed up to share the delicacy, the floor of the building suddenly cracked, and the whole hospital began to shake violently.The girl stretched out her hand subconsciously, but passed directly through the opponent. In this way, the woman and the beasts fell down together with the collapsed building.

... Exactly, how long has passed?The girl stared blankly at the collapsed ruins in front of her, from noon to dusk.The whole city fell silent. It is not known whether the plague beasts were cleaned up, or they left contentedly after preying on all the humans in the city.A white light fell to the ground at an extremely fast speed. It was the dragon knight. With the exposed wires and the gaps all over his body, it was hard to believe what kind of cruel and deadly battle it had gone through.Even so, it was still moving, using the almost broken mechanical arm to frantically move one boulder after another until it was completely scrapped.The cockpit door opened, and a man jumped out. Although he was much younger than the man in memory, the girl recognized him immediately.The man stumbled into the ruins and continued to dig with his own hands. He didn't care even if his fingers were all bloody, as if he didn't feel the pain at all, and kept repeating the same work.

Finally, after removing the last boulder, he finally found the target he wanted to find.

It was a woman with loose black hair, only half of her body was exposed, and the rest of her body was firmly stuck in the crevice of the stone. The faint sound of breathing proved that she seemed to be still alive, but she was already extremely weak.
