So I became a witch

"..."

"Hey, hey, shouldn't this be a very touching scene, right? Why are you looking at me with such subtle eyes?" Yehe said speechlessly.

"Although I wanted to say that, but when I think that the person who said this is the principal, I always feel...somewhat?" Mo Yuling said, and the others nodded along with her.

"You guys... forget it, you don't have to go to class today, you'd better go to bed early and get ready for tomorrow's departure." Yehe said with a sigh.

"Ah, if we are going to another world, what about the credits for this semester?" Mo Yuling asked.

"In the name of the principal, I will stamp excellent grades on everyone." Ye He said.

"Okay! Ah, actually I missed a few courses last semester, and I need to revise my credits. Look, principal..." Mo Yuling said coyly.

"... I'll consider you passed." Yehe Fuer said.

"Good! Long live the principal!" Mo Yuling cheered.

This guy, doesn't he really think that this mission is just a simple trip?The others looked at Mo Yuling who was not nervous, and were silent in their hearts.

Yehe waved his hand: "Okay, everyone else should leave first if they have nothing to do. Ah, by the way, Luo Yuze and Luo Tianlian will stay here for now. I still have some things to talk to you alone. "

Luo Yuze's face was as usual when his name was called, Luo Tianlian's body shook, and he wrapped himself even deeper in the black clothes.

After everyone else left, Principal Ye He took a deep breath, and his expression became serious: "Have you thought about the reason for letting you stay?"

"Is it related to Luo Tianchen?" Luo Yuze asked calmly.

"...Exactly. In fact, a few months ago, the school had dispatched that child to participate in a reconnaissance mission in another world. However, the mission was interfered by a suspected witch-level enemy, which resulted in the failure of the transmission. , she failed to arrive at the originally scheduled world. I'm sorry, because of the academy's secrecy mechanism, I can only tell the two of you this right now." Yehe said apologetically.

"So, did she come to another world by accident?" Luo Yuze said.

"...Yes, and the world she unexpectedly landed in happened to be the goal of our trip, and it was also the beginning of that war 400 years ago." Yehe said in a low voice.

"What was the war 400 years ago?" Luo Tianlian asked in a low voice.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I forgot that both of you were born in non-demon hunter families, so it's normal for you to be unclear about this." Yehe took a deep breath, "400 years ago, our world was once attacked by people from aliens. In order to resist the witch's power, the demon hunters paid an extremely painful price, and the entire demon hunter world was on the verge of shattering, and finally won the victory of that war."

"However, if it is such a terrible event, why is it that the records are only simple, but there is no detailed record at all?" Luo Yuze questioned.

"...Because I forgot." Yehe said.

"Forgot?" Luo Yuze said.

"Yes, for some reason, all the related memories of the cause and the end of that war were erased by some kind of force. Even those who have personally experienced that war can only vaguely remember that there was such a war. In addition to the deliberate downplaying of the Twelve Clans, this event that could change the history of demon hunters gradually became unknown." Yehe said.

"Did you also participate in that war?" Luo Yuze asked.

"...Yes. Regarding that war, the only memory I have left is that I lost my daughter." Yehe said softly.

"Daughter, what?" Luo Yuze was silent for a few seconds.

"Ah, until now, I can't even remember her face clearly. All she left me is her name and the sins I committed." Yehe's face flickered There was a bit of pain, but it quickly turned back to loneliness.

Chapter 14 Whereabouts

"That is to say, 400 years ago, the witch crossed the border and launched a war against this world. After paying a heavy price, the demon hunters finally repelled the witch. Luo Tianchen, she was supposed to go to Is that what it means to carry out a survey mission in another world, but somehow reach the world where the witch is sealed?" Luo Yuze said in a breath.

"Exactly." Yehe nodded, "You two can scold me severely, because this is undoubtedly a unilateral mistake of the school."

"... Ha. I don't want to say more if I blame her. At least she came back safely. So, where is she now?" Luo Yuze sighed, and asked calmly, with a faint smile all over his body. Wia.

"She did come back from that world, but she also received scars that could hardly heal." Yehe said as he lowered his head facing the two girls.

"Is she injured?!" Luo Tianlian couldn't help saying loudly.

"...Yeah, that's the 'corrosion poison' originating from the witch, and it's hard to cure even the god-forbidden. Originally, we wanted to put her under house arrest in the academy for treatment, but she escaped by herself , in order to find the truth 400 years ago." Yehe lowered his head even lower.

"I see. Is that why she appeared in Haiyuan City? But after that, you completely lost her trace. What's the reason?" Luo Tianlian said.

"...We retrieved the traces and fragments left by the war, and finally came to the conclusion—your sister was completely infected by the poison of erosion at that time, and turned into the shadow of the witch, which triggered the abyss Battle."

"!!!" Luo Tianlian's eyes widened and he was speechless for a while.Even if she doesn't have a deep understanding of the history of the demon hunter world, she also understands the only fate of those who are bewitched by the witch.

"You, killed her?" Luo Yuze's gaze was like a knife, pointing directly at Yehe's heart.

"...No matter how many excuses there are, the facts will never be changed. That's right, I did kill her with my own hands." Yehe finally raised his head and replied seriously.

"Cheating... right?" Luo Tianlian's body softened, and Luo Yuze quickly took a step forward, hugging the girl who fell to her side.

"So, what about after that?" Luo Yuze continued to ask while supporting the dull-eyed Luo Tianlian.

"...Even so, are you going to ask?" Yehe said.

"Because you haven't talked about the most important part." Luo Yuze said calmly, "You did kill her... But, that doesn't mean she's dead, right?"

"Hey? What does this mean?" Luo Tianlian who heard Luo Yuze's words showed a confused expression.

"... Exactly. I did kill her, but after that, we did receive sighting reports about her." Yehe said frankly, "A few days after that battle, she appeared in the In public view. And the last place she was seen...was here."

Yehe took out a photo from the drawer and placed it in front of them.Luo Tianlian and Luo Yuze walked forward at the same time to observe the content of the photo closely.This is an ordinary breakfast shop, and the center of the photo is Luo Tianchen who they absolutely cannot mistake.At this time, Luo Tianchen was enjoying his breakfast with soy milk in one hand and fried dough sticks in the other.

"This is the last picture of her taken by the satellite. After that, she suddenly disappeared out of thin air." Yehe said.

"Disappeared out of thin air?" Luo Yuze frowned.

"Yes, it really just disappeared out of thin air. In fact, we also sent commissioners to the breakfast shop after that, but they didn't find any traces of the operation. It exists there." Yehe frowned and said, "This is also what we have been puzzled about, because we couldn't understand the reason, so we couldn't inform you who are relatives at the first time, I am really, very sorry."

"...Who is it?" Luo Yuze asked, staring at a corner of the photo.

"What?" Yehe didn't understand what she meant.

"Look at the direction of her gaze." Luo Yuze pointed to the frame of the photo, "Obviously, Luo Tianchen is 'looking' at something at this moment, but in front of her line of sight, there is 'nothing' '."

"..." Yehe froze for a moment, as if suddenly thinking of something, his face became as solemn as water.

"I'm afraid there is some 'existence' that we can't understand that appeared here and took her away." Luo Yuze said in a low voice, "And the place she is going...maybe it is the place she left once, that The world. This is the real answer to why she disappeared."

"...Actually, the academy has indeed made similar speculations. In the past few months, we have searched every corner of this world, but we have never found her figure. In other words, if in this world If you can't find her, then she may have gone to another world." Yehe said, "That's why I left you alone for a conversation. To be honest, I don't want you to participate in this operation, but , If you don't say anything, I'm afraid you won't accept it. This action is really very dangerous. Whether it's for your parents or that child, I don't think they want you to be hurt. "

"In other words, that guy might be in that world, right?" Luo Tianlian raised his head and asked suddenly.

"...I can't guarantee it, but I'm afraid there is a considerable probability that it will be so." Yehe said.

"Since she's there, I'll go too." Luo Tianlian replied bluntly.

"Already, have you made up your mind?" Yehe asked.

"Isn't this a matter of course?" Luo Yuze replied flatly.

"...Really. Then, I assure you that I will find and save your relatives. Whether it is my arrogance or my atonement, this is the only promise I can make. "Yehe said heavily.

"Then, I hope you will not forget what you said." Luo Yuze said.

After the two left, the office where there was only one person left suddenly fell silent. Yehe let out a long breath, lay his head back on the armchair, and muttered to himself: "That child's eyes are sharp as if they could It's the same as piercing people, as expected, I'm still not used to doing this kind of work. You think so too, right, Qianmo."

For some reason, even though hundreds of years have passed, that figure and the faint memories are always around him, lingering.Two different images intertwine in memory, one is the scene where he personally kills the daughter who is walking towards him, and the other is the scene where the girl who turned into a monster fell into the abyss with the witch, and bids farewell to himself with a smile Scenes.Scenery that shouldn't exist in the same time and space simultaneously surfaced in the depths of his memory. Even as a forbidden person, he couldn't help but feel confused, unable to tell what was real and what was fake.

over time

"Is it just a simple dream? Or, are both real?" Yehe whispered to himself.The memory of the past has long faded, only the fire of hatred has never been extinguished.The reason why he accepted the mission after a long absence this time is also to be able to break the long-standing heart valve, "Elvis... and the witch... it's time to make a break."

————————————————————

Time, converging into a river under my feet.

The future leads to the unknown.

Now, the flow keeps going.

The past, turned into a bubble.

Countless stars are dotted on the curtain of the black sky, shining brightly.Everything is so beautiful and illusory, just like the scenery in the painting.

I stepped lightly on the level surface, and in every drop of water that splashed, there was someone's memory dancing.

"Why... it became like this... I am obviously just..."

"Don't...don't come near me again!"

"Hate... why me..."

"This is... a curse..."

"Against the principles of the world...things that shouldn't exist..."

"There is no redemption in this world..."

Since the holder of the Void Eye was born, the only meaning of existence is to become the container of the emperor.

To become an emperor means the death of oneself; even if one does not become an emperor, one is destined to die at the age of 22 because of this "vessel" that exceeds the capacity of the world.

This is the curse of the Void Eye.

"You, do you want to save them?" Childish yet vicissitudes, two voices that should be absolutely contradictory suddenly appeared in front of me.

Long gray-brown hair like a dead tree hangs down her shoulders, and her pupils are as deep as black holes that seem to see through everything in the world. Although she looks like a loli, she exudes a decadent aura unique to the elderly.

"Long time no see, Meili." I greeted the girl in front of me softly.

"This is the domain of time, the intermediary point where the past, future, and present meet. Why, come here?" Mei Li looked at me calmly and asked.

"In order to defeat the Corrosion Witch and liberate everyone from the curse of the Void Eye." I replied.

"Give up, fate is absolutely unchangeable. You, me, and other witches have long been bound by the chains of fate. We are just the remnants of our lost selves, chasing obsessions that will never come true." Mei Li He said in the same old tone as before.

Her words are not without reason.As early as in the Rockefeller world, it was proved that it was because of my time travel that a series of things happened later.And in the witch game, my determination to become a witch in order to change the fate of Ye Siyin and the others may have been destined to happen long ago.Even a witch, there are things that are absolutely impossible.

But even so-

"At least, I hope they can find the final peace." I slowly bent down, sat on one knee on the water, and gently pressed my hand on the starry sky and my reflection, "In the name of 'rebellion', here declared."

As soon as I finished speaking, the calm surface of the water suddenly seemed to be boiling, and it began to surge violently.For the first time, a look of surprise flashed across Mei Li's eyes. She looked at me with doubts in her expression: "What did you do?"

"It's nothing, I just gave them 'meaning', or 'witch's protection' would be more correct." I said softly.

If it is said that what the holders of the first Void Eyes left to the later ones is hatred and despair for this world, then as the last Void Eye holder, what I give to the former is to allow them to choose right.Only once in a lifetime, at the cost of everything in oneself, in exchange for the power to achieve everything.

This is the taboo of the Void Eye, and also my "rebellion" against the injustice of this world.

"Time forms a closed loop..." Mei Li muttered to herself.

Ah, now, I finally found out.The so-called "absolute luck" of the Void Eye and the forbidden "burning power" are not in essence "compensation from the world" at all, but the "protection" engraved by me with the power of "power" in the long river of fate. ".As long as this "protection" exists, they may still die, but at least this time, they will no longer complain about their powerlessness.Their lives will no longer be meaningless existence.

Taking my location as the origin, the boiling river began to pass to the past and the future, and in an instant, the entire long river of time began to shake.

However, only this is still not enough to defeat the erosion witch.At the end of what I could see, a thick and dark unknown object blocked the passage of the river. It exuded a highly ominous atmosphere, and with its own power, it blocked the path of the past and the future, and even the black liquid flowing from it, That in turn erodes the boiling river again and again, turning everything back to pitch black.

That is the body of the Corrosion Witch, and only it who is above time has the ability to sow its own despair to the successors of the Void Eye in different eras. Even if it is killed countless times, it can still infect the new body. born.

I stepped forward with my right foot, step by step against the long river of time.The dark unknown object in the distance also seemed to sense something, and began to infect the river below.Points of light representing stars converged around me, and the clear river water under my feet collided fiercely with the turbid darkness.

This is the war between the witch and the witch. Our consciousness is fighting in countless time and space, and each other's power is manifested in the holders of the Void Eye. Only the existence standing above time can see the whole picture .

In the end, it was my strength that prevailed.The clear source stream purified the dirty black water. Step by step, although it was difficult, he was getting closer to the other party's existence.

When I was less than half a centimeter away from the black object, I stopped.The more I advance, the greater the resistance from the world and the other side. Even with the help of the power of many Void Eye holders, I can only reach this point, and it is impossible to move forward.

Sure enough, in the end, it was the only way to do it.

"Ha." I sighed, and looked back at Mei Li who was still standing there.After a distance of countless epochs, her figure was already almost invisible. Even so, I nodded to her and said with a smile, "I will leave the rest to you."

After finishing speaking, I turned around, opened my arms and embraced the black unknown object in front of me.With a hiss that cut through the heaven, the realm of the past and the present, my fate with it, blended together.

"Your sorrow, your pain, your despair, let me cut off all these fates for you."

Chapter 15 Before departure

Inside Rockefeller's territory, in the city of Hertis, somewhere in the bedroom.

"If that's the case, then you're ready." Andrea looked at herself in the mirror and said to herself.

Not long after receiving the task from the principal, the ten people rushed to Rockefeller's territory non-stop, preparing for tomorrow's departure.Although for ordinary people, not eating or drinking for a few days is nothing but a trivial matter, but because it is going to an unknown world, no one knows what will happen. Before that, you must be in the best condition .In this way, several people spent a night of excitement, anxiety or worry in Rockefeller's guest room, and ushered in the morning of the second day together.

Although she also had all kinds of worries, the familiarity with her home still overwhelmed the fear of the future. Andrea fell asleep early in her bedroom, got up early again, and was surrounded by her close attendants. After being served, I made all kinds of preparations, and then walked towards the restaurant without haste.

There were already people sitting in the dining room in the early morning, and they all looked more or less sleepy—except for Bai Guan, who always had that drowsy face on his face even in normal times.Andrea gently pushed away the seat next to Luo Tianlian. The girl, who was like a hamster and gnawed on a bun with her hands in her hands, trembled for no reason when she saw her coming, and her small face seemed to choke. When it arrived, it generally turned red.

"Well, are you okay?" Andrea quickly handed over the water glass on one side, and asked with some concern.For this girl who has a similar appearance to Luo Tianchen, even though she has only met a few times, Andrea still has a lot of affection in her heart, seeing her expression as if seeing a natural enemy After that, I couldn't help but also worried.

Luo Tianlian quickly took the water glass, took a big gulp, coughed violently a few times, and finally returned to normal.She shook her head and said in a low voice: "It's nothing, just seeing that same face, it's a little ptsd."
