So I became a witch

"That's right, it's just a relationship we just met. So whether you obey or not depends on your own beliefs."

From the beginning, this guy has always liked to say things that seem to make sense but are actually meaningless.

But... thank you this time.

"Looking at your expression, it seems that you have already made a choice."

"Well...although I'm still a little scared, but it's okay."

I have, will not choose to escape.

"Really, then, I wish you good luck." Master said with a smile.Although it has been more than ten years since I saw her last time, her appearance has hardly changed, or rather she looks younger.

As for the reason, maybe it's because I'm no longer what I used to be.

"Goodbye then."

"See you."

I took a deep breath, turned around and walked back to the main road, and at this time, there was only one goal left in my heart.

That is the other end of the road, across the street from the hotel is another tall building.

When I walked into the lobby, I found that there were other figures, and I came here before me.Sister Sleeping Guan sat at the long table as a matter of course, and Su Zi, who was originally planning to go back to play online games for a day, seemed to be reluctantly dragged here by her mother late at night.Finally, there was the man who sat high in the main seat in the lobby, clasped his fingers in front of his face, and showed a self-indignant expression.

After a long silence, the man was the first to break the silence: "Xingmeng...I didn't expect you to come back here."

"It's nothing, I'm just here to get back what originally belonged to me." Compared with him, Yin Xingmeng's attitude was very cold.

After smelling a bit of gossip, I sat down next to Su Zishen calmly, and asked in a low voice, "Could that man be your father?"

"That's why I can't remember clearly... But it should be." Su Zishen also said with some uncertainty.

The man coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment.He turned to look at Su Zishen, and said in a deep voice, "Zishen, you have grown up too, and you have become so masculine... I mean you are now feminine."

"..."

"..."

"..."

There was another silence, and this time it was Sister Guan who broke the silence: "Then, according to the agreement, we have successfully suppressed the evil spirit, so you should also follow the promise and open the gate of the back mountain."

The man nodded: "Of course, after all, the village can continue to exist thanks to your help. It's just..."

"Any questions?"

"You must also understand that the 'Void Realm' hidden behind this village is different from any other 'Void Realm'. Although the ancestors sacrificed their lives to suppress it, there is still a lot of risk after all."

"...I understand, but even so, I still have things to do." Sister Sleeping Guan said in a deep voice.

"Well, since you insist so much, I won't object anymore. However, for safety reasons, you can only pass through the back mountain." The man said.

"Well, I want to go in too, is that okay?" I raised my hand and said.

"Huh?" As if startled by my sudden sound, the man showed a surprised expression.

"...This is not a joke. Although the 'Witch's Heir' was temporarily contained yesterday with the help of Sora and Feng, there is still the possibility of going berserk. I cannot let my students take such a risk." Sister Guan looked at me seriously and said.

"Even so, I still have a reason to do it." I also looked at Sister Sleeping Guan seriously, and said without hesitation.

"...I understand, if this is your wish." Sister Sleeping Guan avoided my sight and said in a low voice.

"Huh? But if this is the case, it's against the rules..." the man said.

"Let that child go together." Yin Xingmeng said suddenly.

"Huh?" The man froze.

"If it wasn't for that child's help, I wouldn't be here. This is what I promised." Yin Xingmeng said in an unquestionable tone.

Chapter 130 The Road to Star Expansion

"Hmm..." The man hesitated for a moment, then heaved a long sigh. The majestic aura that he displayed in front of everyone at the beginning has completely dissipated, and he has completely changed into a strict wife's attitude, "I know, I know. , but I have no control over what happens after that."

"Well, that's enough." I nodded and said.

Following the man, we left the room all the way to the edge of the village and into the woods.The moment I stepped into the forest, I suddenly felt an inexplicable chill rushing from my toes to the top of my head. It seemed that there was an invisible barrier dividing the forest inside and outside the forest into two worlds, and now we are actively stepping into the forest. into this uncharted area.

"I always feel... a bit eerie." Su Zishen, who was following behind us, murmured.

"This is the only road leading to the back mountain. Sometimes it is also called 'Huangquan Road'. Elders who died in the village will pass this road and be buried in the back mountain." The head of the man walking in the front also Said without answering.It was clearly early in the morning, but the road in the mountains was so dark that you could hardly see your fingers.Although Su Zishen immediately thought of using the flashlight function of the mobile phone for lighting, unfortunately, under the cover of thick fog, the brightness of visible light cannot even surpass our own.Fortunately, the man seemed to have anticipated this situation, and took away a lantern before leaving the room. This ancient tool for lighting with candles had an unexpected effect under such a dense fog, although it was still not enough. Obvious, but enough to light the path underfoot.In this way, the few of us hugged tightly together, and finally, after a short period of time, we came to the end of the road.

"The bronze... gate?" Su Zi looked deeply at the gate blocking us, and made an inconceivable voice.

"So far, it is the junction of the virtual and the real. In order to avoid bad things from happening, only two people are allowed to enter each time the door is opened. Even for the people in the village, the existence of the back mountain is unfamiliar and It's taboo, please be careful." The man turned his head, looked at me and sister Guan Guan seriously and said.

"So, how do you get in?" I asked. "Have you got the key?"

"Just put your hand on the door and meditate in your heart."

Sister Sleeping Guan and I looked at each other, and each put a hand on the bronze door. It seemed that an inexplicable force had passed into our bodies from it.

From now on, it is enough to convey our "desire" to this door.

"..." I gently closed my eyes and said silently in my heart.

Time seemed to have passed for a long time, and it seemed to be just a short moment. When I opened my eyes again, the surrounding mountains had disappeared, and what was replaced was a barren open space with countless stone tombstones. It is inserted into the ground, and the dates of birth and death and names of the owners of each tombstone are written on it in ancient Chinese characters.

It seems like what the man said, we did come to the cemetery in the back mountain, but it doesn't exist anywhere in this world.

"The people in this village are really serious about building the tomb in the imaginary domain." I muttered to myself.

Judging from my shallow knowledge of Yin-Yang studies, the existence of these tombstones seems to have played a role in connecting the imaginary realm with the present world.It will neither be completely separated nor completely integrated, but will maintain a certain degree of inseparability. Its magnitude and stability even surpass the imaginary domains I have seen in Xingjiang City. It must be constructed. The owner of this imaginary domain must be a guy who has very profound attainments in both space science and yin and yang science.

Speaking of which, sister Guan Guan and I should have come in together, but now they are nowhere to be seen. Did I act first, or was it teleported to a different place in the first place?With my current vision, I can probably only see the area a few kilometers away, and the part further away is completely shrouded in smoke.

"..." According to Sister Sleeping Guan, this is not only the cemetery of the village, but also the place where Yin Xingchen lives.Because Master and the others succeeded in suppressing the rampage of the "Heir of the Witch" yesterday, this world showed a relatively peaceful scene. The host talks to each other.

I didn't feel anxious because of the disappearance of my sleeping sister. If you want to ask why, because our destination is already shown in front of you. As long as we move in that direction, we will meet again sooner or later.

That's right, as long as you head towards the giant tree that stands in the center of the world, as if piercing through the sky and the earth.

Speaking of which, this is the first time I have seen its existence with my own eyes in real time.Although it is much smaller than the ancient tree in the memory, it truly told me that the terrible war was not a lie.

"Tower of the Abyss"... That is, it was once given a name.

Although I don't know why this giant tree that once gave birth to countless virtual beasts and was cut down appeared in this place, I can be quite sure that the location of that tree is the destination of my trip.

After losing the surrounding and shrinking of those strange fogs, I finally got a glimpse of the true face of this huge tree that has brought endless disasters to our world.Although the appearance of the "tree" is borrowed, there is not a single leaf on this "tree". Only from the main branch upwards, new branches will be formed at the end of each branch, and countless new branches will extend infinitely. Spread outwards, forming countless individual shoots.

However, the formation of these branches is not without rules, it seems to follow some unique rules, showing a different kind of geometric beauty.I don’t know why, although the branches on this tree seem to have their own characteristics, but they can be roughly divided into 12 different areas, and the branches inside each area are continuously extended according to their own laws. with.

Unbelievably, a sense of familiarity suddenly emerged in my heart.

It's as if I've seen something similar to it somewhere.

After all, where is it?

I held my head in distress, but couldn't think of anything.

"The Kabbalah tree of life (Etz haChayim), which appeared in the biblical legend, is located in the central tree of Eden. In people's eyes, the existence of the Kabbalah tree of life represents the process of God creating the universe from nothing, and at the same time It symbolizes the 'Road to God'. Do you still remember what I told you once? In fact, most of the myths created by humans in this world originate from the history of the Star Era, passed down through bloodlines, and in the form of legends It reappears in the present world. The same is true for the "Kabbalistic Tree of Life". Its real prototype is the road created by the Star Emperor Lydias from the ancient past. Its real name is "Xingyan '."

Chapter 130 Second Choice

Star... Yan?

I suddenly recalled that I didn't know how long ago in the past, when I came into contact with "Xingyan" for the first time, I once strayed into a strange area.It is also located in a space beyond the reach of ordinary people, it is also a giant tree in the center, and it also looks exactly the same... But why didn't I remember it until now?

"'Star' and 'Yan' were originally two different trees, but people in the world regarded them as one tree without authorization. They only knew its 'Star' but not its 'Yan'. So after too long years , 'Star' took everything away, but 'Yan' was forgotten by the world." Meng stood obediently by my side, looked at the giant tree in the distance, and said calmly.

"What does this mean?" I, who have long been accustomed to the elusiveness of dreams, turned my attention to her words.

"'Star' gives people the hope of moving forward, and 'Yan' brings infinite possibilities. But now, all the roads have collapsed. The fate of this world has been completely doomed." Meng said softly, The eyes are deep and bottomless, "fire, water (ice), metal (machinery), land (earth), wood (life), wind, thunder, space (time), light, darkness, spirit, yin and yang, from the 'beginning' The twelve attributes that were born were endowed with their own meanings and symbols. It is precisely because of the existence of these attributes that people gain the power to fight against gods."

"It doesn't matter what these things are. Tell me, why is the 'Tower of the Abyss' that gave birth to the Void Beast so similar to the 'Xing Yan'?"

"Since asking like this, doesn't it mean that you already have an answer in your heart?" Meng said with a smile.

"...Is the forgotten 'Yan' the true body of the 'Tower of the Abyss'?"

"Correct." The dream confirmed my guess.

"...Is this also the power of the 'Erosion Witch'?"

"Well, it may not be accurate to just say that. It has become what it is today, and it has a lot to do with its expected results."

"It? Expected?"

"If you really want to know so much, how about asking yourself? After all, isn't that why you came here?" Meng said in a relaxed tone.

This guy really is completely watertight.I'm afraid if I follow her lead, she will bring up the topic of trading again.The most correct way to deal with it here should be to choose to ignore it directly. Anyway, I never thought that this guy would jump out suddenly at the beginning. It is enough to do what I planned to do at the beginning.

"Huh? I thought you would ask me next?" Sure enough, Meng, who was left behind by my ignorance, followed immediately.

"Anyway, it must be something related to the transaction, so I won't be fooled."

"It's obviously been traded twice, it's a shame that you can say such a thing."

"..." Ignore and ignore.

"Ah, accidentally fell down (stick reading)."

"..." Ignore and ignore.

"Obviously in the earliest days, I would invite people to dinner. Mom, I don't remember raising a bad child like you~~"

"Who is the mother! And it was obviously because you insisted on joining me at that time!"

In the end, I still couldn't help complaining.

"Anyway, since I met you, my life has become a complete mess...Damn it, my wish is to live a peaceful life, why did it become like this..." I sighed.

"Isn't that nice?"

“Totally not good at all!”

"Hey, do you think so?"

"Ah, isn't this a matter of course!"

"...Then, if I told you to make another choice, what would you think?" Meng's voice suddenly became quiet, as if carrying some kind of inexplicable sadness.

"...you are here, what are you talking about?" I stopped the script and turned around.

Meng's expression was solemn, and she didn't seem to be joking at all: "I can cancel the deal between us, whether it's love or joy, I can return it all to you. You will live the normal life you want A person's life is spent peacefully without any waves. From now on, I will never appear in your life again. So, do you have to choose?"

"Wait...wait for me! Why do you say such things all of a sudden!"

"Didn't I say it? I've always been on your side. As long as it's your wish, I'll definitely make it come true." Meng said with a smile, with an indescribable smile on her face. condolences.

"Even if you say that...if I'm not here, what will happen to the squad leader? Where's Andrea? And pity them..."

"It's nothing, it's just going on according to the 'original' established destiny."

"...An answer like this is not an answer at all."

"But so what? As long as you agree to this choice, you will no longer remember them, and they will not know you. You will become strangers at first, and from now on, no matter whether it is good or bad, you will be with you It doesn't matter. Isn't this the peaceful daily life you want?"

"..."

"What are you still hesitating about? I just let all of this return to the state it should have been. What are you still dissatisfied with?"

"...But, this way of doing things is just a simple escape, right?"

"There's nothing wrong with escaping! From the very beginning, everything has nothing to do with you! It's just the karma planted by those guys themselves, and their own sins should be borne by themselves! But in the end, They will only throw all kinds of things on your head again and again, use you, betray you, and only you will be hurt in the end! But what about them? They will just sit comfortably in the auditorium and do nothing. As long as you move your mouth, someone will automatically help them solve it! What do they think you are? An easy-to-use tool that can be called at any time and quickly gone?" Meng roared angrily.I stood there blankly, never thinking that I would have the chance to see this side of her.In my memory, she was always so cunning, clever, and omnipotent, but now she is so angry, sad, like a child abandoned by her parents.

"Come on, choose, do you want to continue this boring journey, or go back to your original wish?" Meng stretched out her little white hand. The hysterical look just now has completely disappeared, and now she puts it on again. That sweet, seductive smile mask locked me tightly with eyes that seemed to see through everything.

Can't escape her sight.There seems to be a force in the dark, forcing me to make a choice.I didn't doubt what Meng said at all, as long as I hold her hand, all the pain I have suffered so far will disappear, and I can also obtain the peaceful life I dream of.

As long as you hold her hand...

I raised my right hand tremblingly.Seeing me shaken, Yume's smile seemed to become even sweeter.

"That's right, that's fine."

Is this... okay?

“啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊！”突然间，一阵凄厉的惨叫声响彻了整片阴暗的空间。

Is this... Sister Sleeping Guan's voice?

Before I could react, my body had already reacted automatically, and I ran towards the direction of the sound without hesitation.In a trance, I seemed to hear a sigh coming from behind myself.
