So I became a witch

How should I put it, this shameless appearance is indeed that guy's character.Obviously only two years old, he has already learned the skill of being lazy.

"Hmph, don't even think about it! Anyway, my old lady has fed you for two years, and now is the time for you to repay, hahahaha!" Accompanied by a burst of crazy laughter, the carriage pierced the silent night sky and left.

When I regained consciousness again, I found myself lying in Qin's arms. In front of me were tall buildings that shouldn't belong to this era. People in strange clothes shuttled between the streets, and there was a heavy breath in the air. .

"Hey, please be quiet now, or we will suffer if we are caught!" After the maid warned me, she stuffed me into the suitcase involuntarily.After feeling the steepness for a while in the dark, I heard the sound of Qin seeming to communicate with other people.

"I'm sorry, I'm Qin Lal, and I came to participate in the ceremony as an attendant who once served that lord."

"...Your name doesn't seem to be on the visitor list." The man who looked like a guard made a deep voice.

"Ah, of course, because I was temporarily selected to be in charge of the preparations before the ceremony." Qin's response was very smooth, as if she had already rehearsed many times, "This is what I got from Master Yehe. License, please review."

She opened the suitcase, put her hand into my side, fumbled around as if she had taken something away, and at the same time secretly put something hidden in the long sleeve in a blind spot where the guards couldn't see. Come in.

"...Understood. But next, please let me check your luggage."

"Okay, please go ahead." The maid said briskly.

Recalling what Qin said just now, I curled up subconsciously after feeling the star energy fluctuations coming from outside the box.Those energies are like X-rays, penetrating through the surface of the suitcase to the inside, seeing everything clearly.If this continues, it will definitely be exposed.I couldn't help thinking in my heart.

However, just when the three words "It's all over" popped up in my mind, a green gleam suddenly appeared on the surface of something that the maid just dropped in.These lights shrouded me, avoiding the scanning of star energy.

"...Okay, you can go in. For the glory of the Star King."

"For the glory of the stars."

After a brief pause, the suitcase finally rolled again, and I let out a long sigh.It seems that this guy didn't rush in completely without thinking, which made me feel relieved and at the same time gave birth to new confusion.

What the hell is this guy trying to do?Could it be that he wanted to sneak into this heavily guarded city directly and secretly take the girl away?But in this case, there is no need to bring "I" with you.Although the IQ seems to be higher than that of ordinary cats, cats are cats. If this kind of "marriage snatching" routine is really followed, "I" will become in the way instead.

I just don't think about things I don't understand. I closed my eyes and turned over in the box.As a cat that sleeps 21 hours a day, even a small place can become a hotbed.Perhaps it was also because of such a slow personality that later Fanny turned into that kind of lazy cat.

"If you're here, you don't have to worry about being watched." The maid said to herself, opened the suitcase and poured out all the luggage and me.

Chapter 53 Childhood

I waved my cat fist and made a silent protest, but the maid stared at me with a serious face and said, "Listen, this is the last chance, and the one who can stop this... And only you."

"Meow?"

"Although I know you find it incredible, but for that adult, your existence is very special. You who got your name from her is equivalent to signing some kind of contract...Really, don't use that kind of doubt Look at me." Qin sighed, and gently stroked my back, "I can't do it... because I once betrayed that child."

There was a trace of sadness and guilt in her eyes, as if she wanted to explain to someone, she said to herself: "The first time I met her was when I was 12 years old. At that time, she She was only six years old, as small as she is now, and as cute as a doll. Her father was the most dazzling genius among the twelve races, but her mother was just a nameless mortal. It caused an uproar in the world of hunters, and even I heard it when I was young. For those old antiques who value blood and glory, this is obviously an intolerable thing. Especially her father Yehe at that time, He just happened to be chosen as the son-in-law of the Star Clan. As a result, the entire world of demon hunters hunted down their mother and daughter. Even geniuses like Master Yehe could hardly resist those long-established demon hunters. , The two sides reached some kind of treaty, Ye and adults returned to the twelve clans, and the child and her mother disappeared from sight. Until the year she was six years old, after her mother died of illness, she was fostered in our home. My parents accepted the child happily, but, perhaps because of her childhood experience, her personality became as cold as a doll, and she subconsciously resisted everyone. Because the "source" of her body was once in It was destroyed once when she was a baby, so she couldn't practice the road of mortal dust and star extension like others, and could only live as an ordinary person... But this may be a lucky thing for her, at least In this way, there is no need to have anything to do with those guys... I was so naive at the time."

"Because of the outbreak of war, demon hunters from all over the world have been sent to the front one after another. Even the oldest batch of demon hunters, the adults of the twelve clans, can't sit still. The scale of the disaster is far beyond It is far beyond our imagination, and is even comparable to the four disasters that have been experienced in the classical records. However, for me and her who are still young, this seems extremely far away. Living in our house After a period of time, the child gradually opened her heart and became like an ordinary person. She began to learn to laugh and to be sad. If this can continue, maybe she can at least spend her life as an ordinary person... If there is no such thing happen."

The maid's voice suddenly trembled, she grabbed her shoulders tightly and forced herself to stop shaking: "That day, I ignored my father's warning and took her out of the family area and into the deep forest , but got lost, and even encountered a virtual beast leaking from the gap in nothingness. That was the first time I saw virtual beasts. At that time, I was still overwhelmed by the terrifying appearance and fear, and I couldn't move at all. Then it was that child who stood in front of me at that time."

"...from her right eye, a terrible red light emanated. I have never seen such an eye, thicker than blood, deeper than darkness, life and death, sacred and evil, just watching , as if trying to suck the soul of a person into it, and I couldn't extricate myself. When I woke up again, the virtual beast had disappeared, and the adults found us who left home without permission, and gave me a good reprimand. After hesitating for a long time, I decided to tell the story about the child's right eye. Unexpectedly, the faces of the adults changed immediately after hearing this. Not long after that, the child disappeared from our house. It is said that she was taken to the headquarters of the Twelve Clans. Although I was worried, my father was very happy and told me not to worry about her. When I saw her again, it was already three years later."

It's thicker than blood, deeper than darkness... Sure enough, what appeared on that child was definitely the Eye of Void, that's right, I'm afraid it wasn't a counterfeit imitated like Andrea, but a real one. Exactly, the Eye of Void, which belongs exclusively to this era, is the fourth known holder of the Eye of Void besides me, Luo Yuze, and Streller.

"Three years later, she has become more like a puppet than when I first saw her. My father brought me in front of her and warned me that I must use honorifics to address that adult. I this Only then did I know that she had been chosen to become the new Star King. Those people who hated her so much, seemed to have changed their faces, and suddenly became extremely humble. It was all because of her right eye."

I was silent, lodged in this body, and the real Fanny's soul was uncharacteristically quiet, listening to Qin's confession quietly.Elvis didn't lie, the existence of the Void Eye was indeed deeply connected with the Star King, and the Twelve Races obviously knew this, so they chose to take the child away.

"Although she has returned to my home, my heart has always been a little uneasy. The matter of the right eye, the emperor's secret, too many incredible things, the change of that child, I can't calm down at all. Come on. So I secretly borrowed her identity to look through a large number of classics, and finally found a fragment of that record...'Emperor Building Project'."

...It is not the first time I have heard that the implementation of the so-called "Emperor Building Project" started as early as in Xingjiang City, no, a long time earlier than that.Because of this plan, those high-level demon hunters were able to prevent the "Blood Christmas" and "Dead Art Incident" from happening, but they chose to turn a blind eye, which eventually led to a tragedy.

"I don't know when the earliest 'Emperor Building Project' started, maybe it started at the beginning of the demon hunters, or before the birth of this planet, or even the world. Countless pioneers I voluntarily joined this plan, but all of them failed without exception. Even so, this plan has not stopped. For those Star Clan adults who are regarded as gods, a new Star King will be born and Star Clan will be regained. The glory of the past has become their biggest obsession. This obsession also affected the demon hunters, so when they saw the child's right eye, they were so excited, because it meant that the child had An unimaginable 'vessel'. At the same time, this is also a crucial point in the ceremony."

(Because this volume involves many previous foreshadowings and the truth of the world, it was very difficult to write, please forgive me. I will definitely add more from next month, and I will definitely not cluck this time)

Chapter 54 The Eve of the Ceremony

"Apparatus", "capacity", "soul"... If talent determines the speed of a person's progress, then "apparatus" is equivalent to the upper limit that can be reached.Talent may make you stronger than others for a while, but in the end it is the measure of the "tool" that determines all of this.

I don't know why, but the holders of the Void Eye generally have "artifacts" far beyond ordinary people's imagination, even the god-forbidden ones can't compare with it.It is also because of this that the body of the holder of the Void Eye is an excellent material for anyone, whether it is doing experiments or holding a ceremony to summon evil gods, it is the perfect choice.Although the number is too rare and the age limit of 22 years old makes it difficult to find the holder of the Void Eye, but once found, if no one protects it, it will probably be the same as Tang Seng who did not bring Monkey King , the end will not be any better.

"I began to feel puzzled, because the child was injured when she was young, which made it absolutely impossible for her to break through the gods and reach the realm of the emperor, and even become a mortal. But why, like this But she will be selected as the candidate for the "Emperor Building Project"?" Qin's voice suddenly became low, trembling with a hint of anger and helplessness, "This doubt has always permeated my heart, and it can't be dispelled for a long time. Go. I can't trust the adults who hurt that child, so I started to search alone, and finally, from that person, I got the answer to the truth."

She paused, gritted her teeth, and desperately suppressed her anger: "The so-called 'Emperor Project' was a scam from the very beginning... They never intended to make that child an 'Emperor', but It is to let the 'Emperor' replace that child. Using the ability of the Emperor's Weapon, forcefully stuff the memory, knowledge, and power of the Emperor into the child's body. In this way, she is equivalent to possessing The great power of the emperor, but...her soul will also be annihilated in this process, and in the end, only an empty shell remains."

"This is also a natural result. Compared with the 'Emperor', that child is too weak, and even the possibility of being assimilated will not exist, and will only disappear from this world forever, forever... For those grown-ups, being able to become the body of the 'Emperor', even if they die because of it, is a matter of supreme glory. The power of the witch has already touched this world. If there is no power of the emperor, everyone will die... ...I know it well...but I...can't agree anyway...you have to sacrifice that child...to save the world..."

The warm liquid fell on my fur one drop after another. Qin sat beside me and cried. It was the first time in two years that I saw such a powerless expression on her face... No, it was just Qin Choose to hide this emotion in front of Luo Yuze, that's why it completely exploded after she disappeared.

"I told that child about the 'Emperor Building Project'... I originally planned to take her away from here as soon as she knew everything, and run as far away as possible... But from the beginning to the end, she never said a word 'Take me away', as if from the very beginning, she already knew the truth, knew that she would become the emperor's vessel, and knew that she would die because of it... But even so, she never asked me for help, it must be Because I betrayed her once, if I hadn't told the adults about the right eye at that time, perhaps such a thing would not have happened..."

"Meow." I gently placed my right paw on her thigh.It's not your fault, I said.

As if she had understood my words, Qin's head sank even lower: "No, it's not like this... But, even so... I don't want to give up that child like those adults... I, can please You?"

She looked at me seriously, without a trace of joke in her eyes.If this scene is seen by other people, they will definitely think that this guy is absolutely crazy, and even wants to ask a cat for help, but I can hear the trembling in her voice.

"Meow?"

Even if I want to help, I can't do it right now.Even a madman would not dare to conceive of letting a cat deal with the entire demon hunter organization.

As if seeing my worry, Qin gently stroked my hairy back and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, I won't let you do dangerous things...you only need to do it when necessary." When the time comes, just appear in front of that child."

"Meow (that's it)?"

"If the ceremony is not voluntary, it will not be successful. The child did not refuse the ceremony because in this world, there is no existence worthy of her nostalgia... But you are different. For that child , you are that special existence."

"Meow meow (I am that special existence)?"

"Please... please bring that child back from the cold darkness."

For "I", that child is indeed like a savior, or a parent.It was she who rescued the dying "I", and she was the first person "I" saw after having memories.

However, what is "I" to her?

A cat, pet, or...

Since ancient times, at the beginning of the birth of human civilization, there has been a custom of calling others by name.Through the existence of "surname" and "first name", each individual is distinguished, and at the same time, all people are closely linked together.Father and son, mother and daughter, name and blood relationship, thus passed down from generation to generation.

But for a cat, a name or something is just a title.

"I" don't understand and can't understand.

Time passed day by day, and the day of the ceremony was getting closer and closer.

Every day Qin would go out early in the morning and then come back very late, and as usual, I stayed quietly in this wooden house like a tavern, waiting for her return.I suddenly had a premonition in my heart, this "dream" that lasted for two years, I'm afraid it won't be long before it will come to an end.And that also foreshadows the ending of "Fanny".

As a result, amid such anxious waiting, finally, we came to the night before the ceremony.

According to the plan, Qin will not return to this room today, and the doors and windows are all concealed. All "I" had to do was to inadvertently appear in front of her eyes when the guard of honor passed by.Although simple, it was the last solution that Qin could think of.

Chapter 55 Quiet Night

However, perhaps out of animal instinct, I felt a strong uneasiness in my heart.I have no way of knowing where this uneasiness comes from, but it seems that something bad surrounds my heart faintly.

The time stopwatch was ticking, because I was bored after staying in the room for a long time, and for the first time in many days, I escaped from this room in the dark.A blue full moon hung on the clear starry sky.Although I don't know where this is, I can be sure that this place is definitely not on the earth.

The blue moon...is really beautiful, just like that night...

……Hey?

For some reason, a certain image suddenly flashed in my mind.Also under such a beautiful starry sky, the two people who looked at each other made a promise... I shook my head, I am sure that I have never had such a memory, that is to say, this longing is very likely It was another soul from this body, Penny.

Penny, what on earth do you want to do?I muttered softly in my heart.

"……"no answer.This is also a matter of course, it is only a cat, how can it understand these things.But, Fanny, is it really an ordinary cat?Although it is different from the Fanny I have seen who can only talk and trade, but now it also shows considerable intelligence, and can easily understand other people's words and respond accordingly.Although this body is controlled by me most of the time, my actions are basically affected by it. I feel hungry, want to be stroked, want to sleep, want to play, and want to To think, to feel pain, to feel sad, to feel ■■... It's hard to imagine that this is something a cat can do. Except that it can't speak, it is probably no different from a human.

This time, where do you want to take me?

------------

Obviously the ceremony will be held tomorrow, but the guards' defenses are quite weak.The whole city was immersed in the aftermath of the celebration, and two or three people walked together in the dim lights, completely oblivious to the roof above their heads, a small shadow was dancing.It's incredible, obviously I have never been to this place, but my body is as light as if I have been here several times and I am already familiar with it.I easily came to the top of this back mountain. On the top is an endless lake, and the water surface reflects the sky full of stars and moon shadows.And at the edge of the lake, a certain petite figure looked extraordinarily ethereal and sacred under the moonlight.

"Who?" the girl asked softly, her voice hollow.

I shook my body and got out from the bushes. After seeing my appearance, a trace of surprise finally appeared on the girl's expressionless face.She stood up directly from the lake, her wet hair sticking to her back, her naked body showing a perfect curve under the backlight of the blue moon.

"Could it be... Fanny?" The girl made an uncertain voice.

"Meow!" Facing her hesitation, I responded briskly and trot all the way to the lake.

"Why are you here... Could it be that it's Qin?" She seemed to realize what happened all of a sudden, and slowly walked out of the lake. Disappeared in the grass.

"So that's how it is... Did Qin bring you here?" The girl who had put on her clothes gently picked me up from the ground, and scratched my chin as usual, "I clearly said not to do this ...why do you still come here?"

"Meow~"

"...Are you worried about me?"

"Meow meow~~"

"..." The girl was silent, she turned around, sat down facing the blue moon, and put me on her lap. After a long time, she said slowly, "Don't worry, I fine."

"Meow?"

"No, I'm not lying, because only in this way can I see my father." When mentioning the man, the corner of her mouth raised a slight arc inadvertently.To her, the existence of Yehe must be very important.That's why he came here at all possible dangers.

"Meow……"

"Because I made an agreement with my mother, I absolutely have to find my father...but I am just a useless child...Dad, mother, everyone, all disappeared...It must be because I am too useless... Use it... If I hadn't been born, wouldn't it be better..."

"Meow!"

No, not like that.

"However, even if I am so incompetent, there are things I can do... So, I will do it. No, I must do it."

"Meow……"

But, in that case...you will die, ok?

"...Well, it doesn't matter. As long as you can become the 'Emperor', everyone will be happy, right?"

If you really think so, then why is your face crying?

I finally understood where the strange sense of familiarity I had felt in this child all this time came from.

Because she is the same as me.

As long as others can be saved, it doesn't matter what happens to me.Even if he became bruised and bruised because of this, he never regretted it.

Contrary to what Qin guessed, the girl was not coerced by others, but she took the initiative and wanted to become a container for the "Emperor".

As long as this is the case, the father's approval can be obtained; as long as this is the case, everyone can be saved.

Facing her who has made up her mind like this, I can't say anything.

Only those who have experienced that war can understand how terrifying the witch's power is. In this world, only the emperor or another witch can compete with it.And for Star Clan, the meaning of the emperor is far greater than her power, and finally found a suitable container, no matter what, it is impossible to let her go.

This is an unsolvable knot.

"...So, I can't leave with you. Goodbye, Fanny. From now on, you must listen to Qin, don't eat too many snacks, and don't sleep late every day...to replace me who has nothing, and live a good life .”

And so, we finally ushered in the day of the ceremony.

"..." Just as imagined, from the early morning, the whole city showed a unique atmosphere.Representatives from various witcher families lined up peacefully on both sides of the road, silently waiting for the arrival of the protagonist.I stood in front of the window and found Yehe's figure at a glance.Completely different from that decadent middle-aged uncle, when he was young, he was a handsome guy comparable to Leo. His cold temperament and expressionless face were enough to make every girl shiver when she saw him. With a scream, it's no wonder that the mysterious and disappearing Star Clan chose to marry this guy.

(From this month onwards, I promise not to groan, and I will add more if I have time)

Chapter 56 The Star Crown

In addition, there are quite a few guys who are quite familiar, but they were still a little young 400 years ago. Compared with the current world, they are exactly like the two of them.Everyone's face was full of anticipation, hope and tension, and they all looked in the same direction at the same time.

I also looked in their direction, and in front of me was a pure white palace stationed in the center of the city.From the center of the palace, one can feel that an unimaginably huge star energy gathers here, even surpassing the prohibition of the gods.The star energy pouring in from all over the world was fed back to this city through some special means, forming an incomparable barrier.In layman's terms, if the city is compared to a huge array, then the central palace is its eye, and its function is probably like an enchantment, used to resist the invasion of outsiders.This barrier is somewhat similar to the one I saw in Lydias Academy, but its strength is far beyond the latter, even strong enough to resist witch-level power.It seems that Star Clan really attaches great importance to this ceremony, and even took out something like a hole card.

Suddenly there was a small commotion among the crowd, I turned my head, and suddenly saw a girl in white, slowly walking down the mountain road I had passed yesterday.The combination of the extremely luxurious decoration and the girl's own youthful atmosphere formed a certain inhuman temperament.Everyone involuntarily held their breath and lowered their heads slightly.

After crying yesterday, the girl finally gave up even the last trace of nostalgia in her heart, but there was no expression in her clear eyes.Now she seems to be no longer a mortal, but an omniscient and omnipotent god above all living beings.

The girl finally passed Yehe's side, facing her biological father, she didn't stop at her feet.Yehe still had the same expressionless expression on his face. After a slight pause, he also lowered his head slowly like everyone else, calmly watching the girl's figure, and gradually drifting away.

Already, enough.

Right or wrong, she has made her own choice.

No one has the right to interfere with the choices of others, not even God.

So what about you?As the owner of this memory, what exactly do you want me to see?

"……no."
