There is always a kind of innocent cruelty lingering in children.
After living in the Witch's House for so many years, Imiya had many encounters with children.
During their long-term relationship, she deeply understood the complexity of human cubs.
Different from the beautiful image of being innocent and kind and always on the side of light depicted in fairy tales, they are complex and changeable lives.
Sometimes transformation happens in an instant.
One moment people think they are cute, and the next moment they reveal the viciousness beneath their innocent skin.
Imiya has seen many such examples, which led her to once have doubts about whether the essence of life is good or evil.
Of course, this kind of doubt did not exist in her mind for too long, because soon, Imiya discovered that it was not something she could figure out.
She just needs to maintain her beauty and charm and bring them to the extreme.
This kind of mental work is not an area she should touch.
As for those children, in the words of the old witch, they are free souls who are not bound by rules and ethics.
Those places that Imiya considers extremely contradictory are exactly the signs that they have not been interfered with too much by the secular world.
It's a pity that the old witch who spoke like this can't bear the excessive freedom of souls, so in order to prevent these free souls from developing into free scum, the Witch's House still chooses to use rules and ethics to restrain them.
It can be said that the effect is outstanding.
As these children grow older, it becomes increasingly difficult for Imiya to see the shadow of the past in them.
Sometimes when she looked at those sensible teenagers and girls, she couldn't even imagine that they had been such children before.
Time has taken away many things from them, including their infinite fantasies about the world, their pure feelings, and their willfulness and stubbornness regardless of anything...
However, these things remained with Alvia forever.
Letting the rabbit mask puppet stand in front of her, Imiya retreated to the corner of the venue and gave the stage to Alvia in a very low-key manner.
She does not have the confidence that Alvia would specifically avoid her. With the affinity between witches, this fairy tale drama will not make her a vicious villain as well. This can be regarded as the result of Alvia's deliberate control.
In order not to be affected, Imiya deliberately increased the release of her charm. She stretched out her index finger and hooked it lightly. With an extremely simple movement, she instantly attracted Maya's newly summoned wolf mask puppet.
"Oh, this is really embarrassing."
Under the influence of the charisma, the wolf mask puppet was almost defenseless. Imiya let out a pretentious cry and looked at the two rabbit and wolf knights standing in front of her, showing a very hypocritical expression of guilt.
"This one seems to be mine too."
Maya saw that the second puppet she summoned was also taken into the opponent's bag, and the calmness on her face broke for a moment.
She took a deep look at Imiya and immediately gave up her plan to continue summoning the puppet. With a move of her hand, she put on a circle-shaped twisted mask for herself.
As soon as this mask is put on, Maya's sense of existence becomes blurred instantly.
Imiya could clearly see her standing there, but when she sensed it carefully, there was no trace at all.
Such special effects aroused Imiya's curiosity about masks. She approached the rabbit puppet and played with the rabbit mask on its face without hesitation.
Under the influence of the charm, the rabbit mask puppet obeyed her movements, and even when the mask was almost taken off, it only struggled slightly for a while, and then quickly stopped responding.
Easily suppressing the puppet's resistance, Imiya smiled at Maya, who had been watching here, as if she was showing off her achievements. Then, before Maya could respond, she went back to researching the mask. Go in.
Seeing her mask being flipped back and forth like some kind of toy, it was certainly impossible for Maya to not react at all.
She frowned tightly, as if she wanted to do something, but when she saw Pisco out of the corner of her eye, she had to resist the urge.
In fact, as the holder of magic, it is very simple for Maya to remove her magic.
After all, the name of the Mask Puppet shows that the mask is the key point.
As long as Maya takes back the mask, the puppet is just an ordinary corpse, there is nothing tricky about it.
In fact, this was what Maya planned when Rabbit Mask was charmed at the beginning.
She tried it immediately.
But I don’t know what the mechanism of Imiya’s damn charm is. It not only affects the puppet, but also affects her mask.
The mask was like seeing the goddess he had been pursuing for decades, and instantly turned into his little follower. His attitude was so pious that he didn't pay attention to Maya's orders.
She couldn't undo it, so she could only let them act on their own, which turned into a scene where she was watching the other party use their own puppets to show off their power, but couldn't stop them.
In other words, Imiya "charmed" her magic.
This incredible statement, like hearing a joke, actually happened in front of Maya's eyes.
She is indeed a witch.
Avoiding Imiya, Maya took a few steps back vigilantly and began to look for an opportunity to help Pisco rescue the siege.
Pisco, who had been trapped in a fairy tale for a while, was now completely surrounded by dark puppets.
He tried to separate the puppets with the water that kept appearing in the blue top hat scattered on the ground. Unfortunately, the characters in the fairy tale did not know whether they were under some special protection and were not afraid of the impact of the water at all. A few even used brute force to break the magic of his hat, trampling the hat as a medium into a pool of magic fragments.
As the dark dolls rioted, the clear childish voice sounded again.
This time, she sang a tuneless song.
"The hands of the reverse world turned, the visiting guest climbed onto the dining table, the maid with eight eyes covered his head, and called the chef who was eager to cook..."
"The human-faced spider is holding the head, the rabbit-headed hunter is holding the legs, and the knotted intestines are tied around the neck of the clay doll..."
A nursery rhyme with rather cruel content sounded in the venue.
The audience remained silent, feeling as if the temperature around them had dropped a lot. A strong sense of oppression, centered on the venue, gradually spread to all directions.
Even outsiders had such a big reaction, let alone Pisco.
He stood there, motionless, but the sweat on his forehead was flowing more and more, forming a small puddle directly under his feet.
