"Hmm..." The OL woman was still staring at Su Zishen intently, as if she had noticed something.

"...Can I order?" Luo Yixin, who had been following Su Zishen, stood up at the right moment, and sat down on the seat opposite us as if nothing had happened.

"Um, may I ask who you are..." the woman asked curiously immediately.

Luo Yixin replied with an unchanged expression: "Luo Yixin is currently staying at this guy's house."

"live?"

"...'s neighbor! She is my neighbor!" Su Zishen hastily interrupted Luo Yixin, "She is my high school classmate! She also happens to rent an apartment with me! That's all!"

"Hey... the female friend you mentioned just now, did you mean this classmate Luo Yixin?"

"Yes, yes...but don't get me wrong! It's just that she hasn't had lunch yet, so I took her along..." Su Zishen looked away unnaturally.Well, according to my guess, the actual situation is very likely that Luo Yixin forced to come here with him, so that he can get a free meal.

"Well..." Auntie didn't continue to say anything, but showed a meaningful smile.As for whether she believed what she was thinking, that was something only she knew.

"Well, everyone should be hungry, so let's all order something. You're welcome, and I'll treat you all this time." Auntie said with a smile.

With the afterglow from the corner of my eye, I glanced at the menu in front of Luo Yixin, and when the female OL was talking, it was already full of ticks.This guy, he ate so many hamburger rolls in the morning, and now he ordered so many things in one breath, he really doesn't know what it means to be polite, no wonder Su Zishen cried and called himself poor.

The meals were served quickly.I don't know if it's because of the seed of the witch, the stomach that could be filled with just a little bit suddenly turned into a bottomless pit.Because Ariel's body structure is different from that of ordinary people, she must use energy ore and other substances to supplement it, otherwise she will have to eat a lot, so she also has a food intake that does not match her appearance. As for the other two, it is similar. As a result, before we knew it, the plates in front of us had piled up to a terrifying level, which attracted the attention of the diners next to us, and even the waiter who was in charge of ordering showed an unnatural expression. smile.On the contrary, the female OL kept a peaceful smile from the beginning to the end, completely like a mother doting on her child, silently saying "eat more".When I finished the meal and saw the string of 0s on the bill, even I was a little startled, but the aunt took out her credit card very calmly, without any shock at all. It seems to have become commonplace.

Well, although I feel a little embarrassed, judging from her clothes and temperament, she should belong to that kind of fairly wealthy family, and a little Western-style Chinese food should be completely innocuous.

"The next thing is, I really need to go to Zishen's dormitory to take a look."

Su Zi was taken aback. If Auntie was allowed to go there, the fact that she and Luo Yixin were cohabiting would be completely exposed, so she quickly stopped her and said, "No, I don't want it! Anyway, I have already eaten, so hurry up and give it to me." Go back! There must be a lot of things going on in the company! Then don’t stay here!”

"Don't worry, today I specially asked for a day off to accompany you."

"...I, I have class in the afternoon! That's why I don't have time to be with you!"

"Then, why don't you just let me visit your school?" The female OL showed a completely indomitable personality.

"..." Su Zishen showed a resigned expression. It seemed that he knew that he might not be able to persuade her plan, so he could only look away deliberately, "...you can do whatever you want."

"Yeah!" The woman who got the permission showed a childlike smile, she suddenly turned her head and looked at Ariel and me: "So, Xiaochen, do you want to go somewhere to play later?"

"Huh? I don't have any special arrangements..."

"Then why don't you come to school together? You might meet something interesting."

"Really! What do you think of a sacred study place!"

"Well, it's all right, let's take us there quickly." The aunt urged.

"Really... If you are stopped by security at that time, don't blame me for not telling you in advance."

However, her worries were obviously unfounded. As for the security guards, they seemed to be used to seeing children from nearby school district rooms wandering in, so they readily let us in.Su Zishen, who had lost the last layer of protection, had no choice but to hold Luo Yixin's hand—it seemed that she hadn't forgotten the setting that she said casually that Luo Yixin was her classmate—and ran desperately towards the library I went, as if hoping to escape from my aunt's sight quickly.However, the female OL didn't seem to care about her small thoughts at all, but looked at the teaching buildings on both sides with great interest.

"Has Auntie been here?" I asked.

"Huh? No, it's just a little bit of interest. It feels completely different from the high school I went to."

"Where did you go to high school?"

"Well, Xiaochen lives in Xingjiang City, right? Do you know about Xingjiang Middle School? Auntie, I graduated from there, and I even won an award for outstanding graduates back then." The female OL's face showed There is a look of nostalgia.

"Well, of course I know, because that's where I went to..."

"Where are you going?"

"Ah, what I mean is that my sister graduated from there this year." I quickly rounded up with a haha, after all, in her eyes, Ariel and I should be the kind who are not yet ten years old. Even if I tell her that I have already gone to college, and the person next to me has lived for an unknown number of years, she will definitely be treated as a strange guy.

Chapter 63 classmates

"I remember my sister told me that the honor of outstanding graduate of Xingjiang Middle School is only awarded to the best student in one grade every year, right?"

For example, this year's outstanding graduates should have been awarded to Ye Siyin...

"what happened?"

"...No, it's nothing." I shook my head, throwing out a trace of annoyance that suddenly flashed in my mind, "And it will be hung in the special honor room of the school. Could it be that Auntie is a Quite a powerful person?"

"Haha, it's not that powerful, it's just a coincidence." Auntie said with a smile.

"Can you tell me your name?"

"Hey? Are you talking about me? It's true that I haven't said that. My name is Yin Xingmeng. Is that okay, kid?"

Yin Xingmeng...I always feel as if I have heard this name somewhere...

"...Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" I suddenly reacted and couldn't help but exclaimed, "Could it be that...you are the first generation student council president of the school!"

"Well, to be precise, it should be the first student council president after the school was rebuilt. It's been 30 or [-] years in a flash, and the time is really fast." The female OL sighed, "I didn't expect you to know quite well. It's clear."

"Well, it's because my sister told me that there is also a teaching building named after you, called Xingmeng Building."

"Ah, ah, that's really embarrassing."

This world is really small. I didn't expect that a woman I met suddenly would be the first student council president of Xingjiang Middle School, and also the mother of the "boy" who was involved in the witch incident, and more importantly. ... If I'm not mistaken, the pendant hanging on the wallet she took out when paying the bill just now seems to be the product of the Yin Yang family, one of the twelve families, which Xia Luohua told me, and it is still rare A rare product, as long as you wear that talisman, no virtual beast below the king beast level can get close to it. Probably only the leaders of various countries, or the most elite children of various demon hunter families are eligible to wear it.But judging by Auntie's appearance, she is completely an ordinary person, without any trace of cultivating in the world, and she doesn't look like a high-ranking official who can affect the rules of the world. Then there is only one possibility—she was born in a famous family. The family of demon hunters, at least they have a lot to do with it.

And if it comes to the demon hunter surnamed Yin that I know, I'm afraid that's the only one.With the body of Xingyan, he has infinitely approached the realm of forbidden gods.

"What's wrong? Is there something on my face?" Auntie asked curiously.

"No, nothing."

With regard to such speculation, it is better to reserve it until there is no conclusive evidence.

"From this road is the basketball court, and behind the basketball court is the football field track and the gymnasium..." Yin Xingmeng looked at the teenagers playing basketball on the playground in the afternoon with great interest.Although it is much smaller than Xingjiang Middle School, and most of the buildings are quite old, the necessary facilities are still quite complete.

"Well, let's go back." Yin Xingmeng said suddenly.

"Wouldn't you like to visit again?"

"No need, after all, the child doesn't seem to want me to stay here for a long time." Yin Xingmeng stretched, "I just wanted to drop by to see how the child is doing. It seems that I don't need to worry about it. .”

No, no, no matter how you look like that, you can't call it okay.

"Compared to these, you, Xiaochen, should have something else you want to do?"

"...Why do you say that?"

"Because, that's what's written on your face." Yin Xingmeng said with a smile.Terribly perceptive, this woman.

"...just looking for something."

"Hey, is it something quite important?"

"No, it's not like that...it's nothing, please don't pay attention to my words."

"Excuse me, are you... Su Zishen's mother?"

The girl's voice, accompanied by a strong chill, pressed towards me from behind almost simultaneously.I turned around subconsciously, and happened to see a man and a woman in school uniforms walking towards us from the other side of the basketball court, and the chill disappeared like a joke.

Although it was only for a short moment, I would never admit that it was a strong sense of oppression that I had experienced countless times, as if it was about to drag people into the suffocation of the water.

You can't be wrong, it's the breath of a witch.As we have guessed before, the worshiper of the witch is probably hiding in this school at this very moment.

"President, I really still think it's not good to go up to talk to you directly..." the boy walking on the left said in a low voice.His height seems to be less than 1.6 meters, and he looks small, giving people a rather weak posture.Compared with him, the girl next to him seemed much more lively, with her long hair tied into a single ponytail, very much like the kind of sports girls often seen in comics.

"How can you say that? Don't you care about the situation of student Su Zishen?"

"That's right..."

"Well, I am indeed Su Zishen's mother. Is there anything you two can do?"

"Ah, I'm sorry to bother you. My name is Mo Qianxuan, and he is An Yao. We and Su Zishen are both members of the Astronomy Club, and I also serve as the president. I seldom go to clubs because of this. In fact, we heard that student Su Zishen seems to be suffering from a serious illness, and he has been sick at home these days, so I would like to ask you about his situation." The girl bowed her head slightly to show her respect, Said.

The president of the astronomical club?Are you reviewing?In other words, could she be the senior that Su Zi had a crush on?

I hid behind Aunt Yin Xingmeng and carefully sized up the girl in front of me.Although it's not enough to make a country or city fall, it's still enough to be called beautiful and charming. It's not incomprehensible that Su Zishen would fall in love with her.

"Is that so? Thank you for caring about my family's Zishen. In fact, his health is fine, and he came to school today."

"Hey, really? Ah, thank you for letting me know, so I won't bother you." The girl said, she seemed to really care about Su Zishen's appearance, and I didn't notice anything wrong with her.Could it be that I feel wrong, or is there another secret?

In any case, this recurring witch game seems to be gradually developing in an unpredictable direction.

Chapter 64 Nothing to do

Before I knew it, the day passed quickly.After visiting the high school, we separated from the aunt. Although we could just take the subway back to Xingjiang City, but because we still have things we care about, we chose a nearby hotel and stayed directly.

After confirming that no one was listening, I closed the curtains and lay on the bed with my whole body on my back.Until now, I can still feel that the witch seed in my body is quietly absorbing the surrounding energy and growing continuously.If it continues at this speed, there will probably be less than three weeks at most, and I will be completely unable to suppress its existence.

From Ariel, I got some photos of myself transformed.The pitch-black figure floating in the air, just staring at it, will make you shudder.It unconsciously devours everything around it, like an enhanced version of a bottomless black hole, even if it is destroyed by the witch's power, it will be reborn without limit... It's just like the superior existence of void beasts, a destruction machine that exists entirely for killing .

What scares me even more is that this pitch-black appearance seems to be just an intermediate form in a certain evolutionary process.It's like a cocooned silkworm chrysalis, constantly absorbing the surrounding energy to replenish itself, until the time is ripe, the truly terrifying existence will break out of the cocoon.If that day really comes, what will I look like?I can't imagine, and I dare not imagine.The only thing that is certain is that the me at that time will definitely not be the me now.

There are two problems in front of me now, one is to reseal the four witches, and then rescue Ling; the other is to find a way to solve the growing witch seed in my body.No matter which problem is enough to make people feel hopeless, let alone two together in front of them.If we only talk about the degree of urgency, the Witch Seed side should be slightly better. However, unlike the problem of the Four Witches who have seen some improvement, I currently have no solution to the Witch Seed. After all, in a strict sense Generally speaking, it is catalyzed by the power of the four witches and condensed by the power of the witches I possess. If I do it blindly, it will be tantamount to suicide.

... If it were me in the past, when faced with such a desperate situation, I probably would have already chosen to give up.But after meeting that girl, I finally realized that what I had been doing was not meaningless.No matter how painful it is, there are always people watching me silently from behind.

So...at least I want to work hard for that person.

"Master, the cleaning task has ended, please issue the next step."

"Ah, you've worked hard...Wait, how many times have I told you, you put your underwear on properly."

Ariel, who was only covered with a bath towel, tilted her head, as if she couldn't understand what I meant.No matter how human-like they are, Ariel and humans are still different races in essence. For the Aide race, they don’t seem to need the function of keeping warm, and they only wear clothes for better communication with other races, so Correspondingly, there should be no culture of underwear.

In the end, I had to help her put it on.I am obviously a boy, but now I have become more comfortable with wearing underwear. Is this lucky or sad?

"Then... this is all the information I have so far." I opened the control panel through the spirit.After being sorted and sorted by the spirit, all the information became concise and clear, and related clues were also connected with relationship lines.Although there are still many vacancies, at least compared with the initial situation where both eyes were smeared, it has improved a lot.

I was sitting on one bed, and Ariel and Ling were sitting on the other bed opposite me, with a projection screen in the middle. After confirming that everyone was in the state, I said seriously: "Do you think that we are now What's the biggest problem?"

"(shakes head) (shakes head)."

"The answer is—the complete lack of combat power."

Yes, this is the most essential and core problem at present.

Ariel, who has lost half her body, is probably stronger than ordinary humans, and I am no different from ordinary children when I cannot use the power of a witch and the forbidden gods.Even if you get the Star Crown, it will definitely not be an easy task to seal the Four Witches again.Moreover, in case I fail and fail to control the Witch Seed, there must be someone who can clean up the affairs in this situation.

However, there are very few people who can participate in this level of disputes.The war involving witches is not enough even if it is God's Forbidden. Sylvia is half, and Sith, who can barely be counted as one, is still sleeping because of the forceful confrontation with the four witches. No matter how you calculate it, it is really not enough.That's why I didn't contact Luo Yuze and the others immediately after I came back.Rather than letting them get involved in this matter, which would not increase the winning rate much, it would be better not to meet at all.

"Completely, I'm stuck in a bottleneck." I muttered to myself.Although it is not that there is no one to rely on, but I still hesitate a little about whether to contact that existence.After all, even if she has helped me many times, she is still a witch, an existence that is absolutely unbelievable.So far, I have not been able to figure out the purpose of that Witch of Time. From the first time I met, he gave me a wristband that can seal the power of a witch. Later, I summoned other witches and forcibly removed it from the hands of the Nine Witches. Save the world.If it hadn't been for her appearance, Shizu and I would have been unable to get away from that bottomless Second Witch in the end.From this point of view, the Witch of Time can indeed be regarded as an existence with good intentions with us, but whether you can believe it or not is another matter.

If you can get help from her, maybe things will indeed turn around.After all, even the second witch is quite afraid of her, so it might work for the fourth witch.It's just, is the price at that time really something I can afford?Sora was taken away from me just to activate the Lost of Time. If I want her to help deal with the Four Witches, what price will I have to pay?

I'm afraid, it may not be better than asking Meng for help.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu like" I rubbed my hair angrily, and finally plunged my head into the pillow.

Chapter 65 The Lost

Under the endless sky, countless dense black spots crawled on the ground, as if they were in awe or praying.

——It was this dream again.

How many times has this been seen?Can't remember, can't understand, suddenly appear, and suddenly disappear.

It's just that it's not the same as the previous few times. I was sitting on the throne on the high platform, but I was thrown into the abyss for some reason. My limbs and torso were covered with chains. The only movable neck raised my head. Staring at the bright starry sky in bewilderment.

Why?Why?

Now, tell me.

——I, what exactly is it?

"...!!!" I sat up suddenly from the bed, only to find that the pillow was soaked in sweat.Ariel seemed to have woken up earlier than me, planning to pick up the breakfast delivered by the hotel.The clock on the wall pointed to seven o'clock. At this time, the sky outside the house was still a little dark, as if it was going to rain soon.Obviously knowing that there is not much time left, but this kind of weather really makes people unable to arouse the desire to go outside.

"Not connected messages... There are actually 29 messages..." I turned on the phone and muttered in a low voice.I used this mobile phone when I was in high school. Now that I have a spirit, I don’t use it very often. However, considering that the existence of spirits cannot be exposed in the real world, I dug it out again.There are very few people in the phone's address book. Apart from my parents and sister, there are only the names of the teacher and a few classmates who have almost forgotten. It seems that no matter which world I am in, I cannot escape this lonely fate. .Under such circumstances, there are still people who have made so many phone calls, and there is only one person I can think of.

"Luo Yuze..." I whispered.If there is no accident, she and Lian should have returned to study at Rutias Academy now, and maybe they also know about me.

I scratched my head and chose to turn off the phone.Now that I have voluntarily cut off contact, it is not easy for her to find her.After somehow gaining part of the power to control the witch, now she can exist without being attached to me at all.Even if I'm not around one day, she can continue to live in this world.

That way, that's enough.

"Master, breakfast has been brought here." The electronic door opened automatically after a beep, and Ariel silently walked into the hotel room with a plastic bag in her hand.

"Yeah, thank you for your hard work." I opened the packaging bag casually, and immediately the whole room was filled with a strong smell of meat buns, "Actually, I just happened to be thinking about one thing."

"Is there a problem, master?"

"No, I'm saying that we invaded the star system at the beginning, in fact, to find some lists of people who participated in the war 400 years ago? Although it's good to get additional information by accident later, but Doesn't this reverse cause and effect?" I said while eating the steamed stuffed bun.But you can't blame me, after all, I stayed in this memory fragment for two full years, just being able to remember such a thing is already quite remarkable.

"Yes, in fact, I have already tidied it up on my own while the master was asleep."
