"You can at least help that Sera, but I can't. I am in the future of time and cannot affect my past self. This applies to every plant and tree here, but you are different."
You have no future.
Lu Ning and others will naturally leave after completing their mission. Of course, there is no future time in this world. She understood what Sera meant, but her mood did not get better.
The more you know, the greater the burden. If she was just an ordinary human tourist, all she had to do now was figure out how to stand in line; if she was just a ignorant devil, then all she had to do was cause trouble for the humans. But now both of these situations had left her.
The resonance of the witch arrived quickly. This time, as if an idea arose from her heart, Lu Ning immediately knew the first location.
The cemetery, that special house, kept the Witch's Eyes in the room for more than forty-eight hours, re-energizing it.
"Is this how a witch communicates with people?"
Lu Ning began to go around Baihu Town to the cemetery, but her tone was slightly dissatisfied. The witch also noticed Lu Ning's emotions, and some chaotic sounds appeared in her thoughts, which slowly turned into meaningful sentences.
【comminicate. 】
"At least it's like a conversation, otherwise I don't know what you want. What's so special about the cemetery? What's going on with those ghosts?"
[Nothing special, just human. 】
"There's no way it's nothing special, those evil ghosts——"
[I understand the meaning of the ghost in your mind, it is human. 】
Lu Ning's footsteps suddenly stopped.
Sera has said that in the witch's perception, human beings are composed of some elements. That is to say, although the things in the cemetery look like horror movies to her, to the witch they still qualify as a "person". definition?
[Your life is different from what I know. 】
"So...the ghosts in the cemetery are actually people in discrete forms?"
[No need to think too much, for you, those people are dead. The elements have not left, so it remains human. 】
"Why didn't the elements leave?"
【time. Relative to my death is drawn out, but you can't understand it. 】
Lu Ning began to regret having a real communication with the witch.
In fact, it's not much different from the legend. The witch's communication is very candid. However, due to the huge cognitive gap between the two, this communication can only be said to be stumbling. This is not bad. According to the witch, most people who resonate with it cannot understand it at all. Only the knowledge that belongs to humans leaked through time can be understood by those people, and then various forms of Baihu Town are formed. The basis of the legend.
Lu Ning hurried to the cemetery. On the way, she raised her head and glanced at the sky. The dark red star had disappeared. Some smoke could be seen in the distance in the town. It was not serious. It seemed that Inahara Ayano was after all. Who stopped it.
But now she is not worried about the power of humans at all.
The benefits of truly communicating with the witch are huge. The witch cannot directly affect the world, only through "omissions", but the devil only needs this omission to gain great power.
Because she obtained the Witch's Oath and the Witch's Eye, she quickly received two rewards. First of all, the overall increase in demonic transformation has been strengthened to six times, which is enough to make her no longer afraid of any close combat. At the same time, the demon's equipment also has a special curved light bomb, which can deflect all light within a radius of up to twenty meters with the center of the explosion, forming a dark area that is enough to transform her into a demon.
The cemetery still looked that weird. The small town made up of houses at least looked less scary during the day. Lu Ning could still hear the ghosts crying when she walked in.
[I'm surprised you didn't understand. 】
"What don't you understand?"
[According to your custom, only ghosts live in cemeteries and talents live in houses. 】
Very good, witches always have the ability to completely shatter people's original cognition with confidence.
"Are you saying that 'they' built these houses?"
【yes. 】
"..."
The witch did not explain, but Lu Ning still returned his gaze to reality and looked at these people who were between two kinds of death.
The symbiotic effect of the witch's heart provides vitality, while human consciousness provides subjective initiative. The two transport "building materials" in this cooperative way. The house-building skills of plants are limited to that, and human consciousness is not as clear as it was before death, so the residents of this dead town built the place as they remembered it before they were alive.
You can imagine how panicked the people in Baihu Town were when they found out that the people buried here had built a shrunken town. Even now, Lu Ning felt that the only thing that was too mysterious for those people was the power of ghosts and gods. It seems that some people also proposed to destroy this dead town, but probably out of fear, they simply built a wall there.
People in the town can't leave because they will all be in the town in the future, so those who want to "come back" will be fine, but those who want to leave and never come back will die.
Lu Ning saw that special house, one made of stones and grass, with a big stone as the door. Unfortunately, there was a man there now with his hand on the big stone that served as the door to the house.
Fujii Yukine.
As if she was aware of the person coming behind her, Fujii Yukiyin immediately turned around. Lu Ning clearly saw a flash of cold light on her sleeves, but she couldn't see clearly in her ordinary posture.
"Lu Ning? What are you doing here?"
"The west side is a blind spot. I haven't had time to come here before." Lu Ning looked at her. After many days of investigation, Fujii Yukine's face looked a little tired, but it did not affect her.
"Do you have time now?"
"Don't you know? Inahara used a fire spell to blow up several houses and claimed to kill everyone in the town to complete the task. He should have been stopped now."
"Is this a plan that Karl came up with?" Fujii Yukiyin asked.
"Um."
"He was too anxious." Fujii sighed and pushed the tombstone with his hand. "I believe there is more than one solution to this scene, but he felt that we were too late to find it out."
"Today is the eighth day. Excluding today, there are still six days left. Do you think we have other solutions when the previous thinking was completely wrong?"
"If it's a mistake, correct it." Fujii Yukine did not give up. With a strong force on his hand, the big stone started to make a rattling sound, as if it was being pushed away.
"what have you found?"
"This is the most special one among so many houses, so there must be some secret here!"
The dust on the boulder fell lightly, but that was it. Fujii Yukine didn't have the strength to really push it away. But this didn't bother her. A slender metal rod fell from her sleeve, and then she inserted the tip directly into the small slit she had just pushed out.
Unexpectedly, the thin rod that looked like it would bend and break when pulled actually fulfilled the role of lever perfectly, and with Fujii Yukine's pry, the entire stone door was pried down!
Boom!
There was a loud noise, smoke and dust rose up and dispersed, and the scene inside the house finally revealed its true appearance.
On a piece of marble covered with moss and black rhizomes, a dead skeleton lies on its back. A blooming witch's heart grows from the heart of the dead bone. Its flowers are bright red in color, and they are layered to form the shape of a heart. , and the stamens in the center bear four full and vibrant seeds. The four sword-like leaves that rush out from the roots are jagged and emerald green, while the leaf veins are deep black.
In addition, everything in the house was surrounded by a black nest that was as dense as a quagmire. At a glance, you didn't even know how deep it was. Fujii Yukiyin glanced at Lu Ning: "Is this... what you are looking for?"
"Yes." Since she knew, it seemed that she had no communication with the town. Lu Ning nodded happily.
"Have you found it before?"
"Find a few that still work, but none this...thriving."
Lu Ning unconsciously began to think about what kind of medicinal materials could be prepared from such a plant. Fujii had already started taking action. She took out a net bag, some metal rods that could be put together, a piece of rope, and a pair of scissors from her backpack.
"What are these?"
"I don't intend to step on this unknown thing." Fujii quickly stretched the metal pole with his hands and feet, then hung the net bag at the front end, slowly stretched it to the marble table in the center, under the Witch's Heart, and then used the previous lever to pry it The metal rod of the door was entangled with the scissors. The scissors were opened, the rope passed through the two holes, and a slip knot was made. Then I tried to pull the rope, and the shrinking rope loop immediately closed the scissors.
Lu Ning watched as she clamped the pole of the net bag with her knees, operated the scissor pole and the rope with both hands, and easily cut off the witch's heart by the roots, and then used the net bag to copy it into her hand.
"I want to study this thing, so I can't leave it all to you."
"oh oh?"
Fujii Yukine threw a leaf and a petal wrapped in cloth to Lu Ning: "Are you also looking for another method? Then give it a try."
"Aren't you worried that I'm a demon?"
"If you were a demon, you wouldn't need to destroy the town. The result would be the same."
"So you are a demon?"
Fujii Yukine shook his head.
"This kind of temptation is very boring."
"Yeah, so I want you to put that thing away."
Lu Ning pointed to Fujii's cuffs.
"It's not that I can't see your vigilance, I'm just too lazy to say it. But since you haven't let down your vigilance, why do you ask others not to test you?"
"……Feel sorry."
Fujii nodded, reached out and took out the thing from his sleeve.
This is a crescent-shaped thin blade, which shows a mysterious blue luster in the sunlight. There is a small handle in the middle of the crescent, which is connected to the two metal chains in Fujii's sleeves. This unique weapon was exquisite and beautiful, and Lu Ning couldn't help but take a second look at it.
"It's a pity that the blacksmith is dead. The weapons he made are actually very good. I remember you also placed an order there?"
"Is this made by a blacksmith?"
"Yes, I completely use the ore found in the mine." Fujii Yukine put the thin blade back into his sleeve, "It's very convenient, but I don't know what kind of metal it is. Maybe I need to supplement my knowledge when I return to the distribution center. .”
"It seems that I underestimated the effect of this ore, and so did the metal rod..."
"Yes, I placed the order early the next morning." Fujii nodded, "It's getting late. It's time for me to leave. It's not very safe here at night."
"Where have you been staying these days?"
"In the forest." Fujii put everything in his backpack, "Don't worry, I have prepared everything. In addition, I have completed the task of the lakeside hut."
"Have you ever been there yourself?"
"Yes, last night. Also, just because I didn't wait for Peng Morong, it doesn't mean that he is not a demon. Although I haven't figured out the reason for the big advantage to kill each other, it must be that way." Fujii Yukine said, "The lake house is not under constant surveillance, so the possibility of stealing this opportunity is quite high. It's a pity that there are still six nights left... I will definitely not have time to complete the task on the last night."
"I'll tell Carl."
"Then let me bring you another piece of news. When I left the lakeside hut this morning, I found new camping marks in the forest. Using the elimination method, I think they may be Qu Siyuan and Pan Haishu. They are actually quite suspicious. "
"Because it's so common, right."
"Well, everyone has some unique abilities or unique personalities, so the most ordinary people become a special group. I don't think the distribution center will really arrange four travelers to participate in Baihu Town. Things. I will try to keep an eye on it, but I won’t put it at the top of the priority list.”
"Please. Also, if you encounter any danger, just go back to White Lake Town. It's okay to support you based on the strength everyone has shown recently."
Fujii nodded and walked further along the road where the ghost cries became more and more fierce.
Lu Ning turned around and threw the lost gem into the black nest.
As soon as one is processed, the next one will follow.
Town, Herman, the Witch's Bones.
"Then maybe it won't work today..."
Inahara is in such a mess that the Herman family has to stand up no matter how low-key they want to be. Who can prevent the people who are really in charge of things in the town from moving? And if she wanted to obtain the witch's skeleton, she had to make careful preparations.
Coincidentally, as night fell, Lu Ning no longer had to walk out of the unpleasant cemetery road, and she directly returned to the town by Shadow Leap.
There were fewer and fewer people in the hotel. Lu Ning could only see Shen Lishu and Ye Chuqing drinking tea in the restaurant. When he asked about what happened during the day, he learned that Sugiyama Risu could not actually stop Inahara Aya. No, but when Inahara destroyed the earth wall and prepared to continue killing, he suddenly showed a shocked look, and then ran out of Baihu Town without looking back. Suiyama was worried and chased after him, and the two never came back.
Afterwards, Fisher Herman and Levin came out together to launch a wanted hunt for Inahara, and the remaining townspeople no longer looked at tourists kindly, and those who were wary and suspicious were considered relatively simple.
"Why is Professor Shen so calm?"
Shen Lishu didn't look particularly anxious when he recounted this incident. It seemed that the turmoil in the outside world had nothing to do with him. Even Lu Ning could feel his calmness that the big thing was over.
