Mary took the Bible and the cross in a hurry, and was about to say something to redeem her slightly rude attitude.
The old priest in red had already responded with a kind smile, made a cross on his chest, and then turned around and left.
As for the young priest following the old priest, he followed suit, appearing cold and calm.
Looking at the two clergymen leaving, Mary casually threw the Bible on the passenger seat of the sports car.
He looked up at the hot sun, and put on his sunglasses a little impatiently.
Just as he was about to listen to music to soothe his mood, he heard intermittent sounds in his ears again.
"It must be him!"
"it's him!"
"I didn't expect to meet you here."
"This is probably fate!"
"Ha! If I could, I just wanted to kill him right now, that would be a huge plot point!"
The subsequent sound became fuzzy and rough, as if the signal was poor.
Mary irritably opened the small leather bag she carried with her, rummaged through it to find the prescription pills prescribed by her previous psychiatrist, and took out two pills. However, after hesitating, she took an extra pill and stuffed them into her mouth.
"If I were you, I wouldn't eat so much."
"Thioridazine is not a good thing, you'd better take less."
"It seems that you have indeed met a quack doctor. In your current condition, it is too early to prescribe this medicine to you." A strong-looking woman, carrying a wooden box in her hand, opened the car door and sat down. Come in.
Then he pulled out the Bible and cross from under his buttocks, with a look of disgust in his eyes.
"I didn't know you were religious," the woman said to Mary.
Mary shook her head and said, "No! It was given to me by a passing priest. I think he just wanted to preach."
The woman threw the Bible and cross out of the car window, hitting a trash can not far away.
"There's nothing interesting to see. I firmly believe that the only true god is Franklin, and everything else... is a false god."
"And... a beauty like you is the target of various chaotic sects. They will always put you to use." The woman turned around and pinched Mary's chin with her hand, saying in a teasing tone.
Mary held the pills in her mouth with a tissue, spit them out, and stuffed them aside.
Then start the sports car.
"where are we going?"
The woman glanced at Mary for a few times, then opened the car door and walked to the driver's window.
"Let me drive!" the woman said in a firm tone.
Mary felt inexplicably weak and chose to be obedient.
The sports car carried the two women directly through the city and arrived at a small town on the outskirts of Luodu.
The town is not big, but it is full of tranquility. Compared with the bustling metropolis, it seems to be more suitable for living and living here.
And Julia... is the woman whom Mary picked up. Her home occupies a large area on the east side of the town.
It was a large manor.
Behind the gate of the manor is a forest. When you drive through the forest, you will see a lake. On the small island in the center of the lake, there is a castle with a strong modern style.
After stopping the sports car, Julia got out of the car first, and then pressed against the passenger door.
Then he asked Mary: "Welcome to my... no! Our home!"
"You will see a lot of new things later... things that you may have imagined before, but have actually seen."
"However, please believe that they...are real."
Mary looked around curiously, looking at the serious Julia with a puzzled face.
"Okay! Stop joking!"
"And Julia... I thought your home was in Luodu, but I didn't expect you to have such a large estate here."
"With such beautiful lakes and forests, can we go hunting... or organize outdoor parties?" Mary spoke quickly and seemed a little excited.
As a best friend for many years, Mary was not polite to Julia.
Seeing that Mary didn't listen, Julia stopped explaining.
Instead, he stepped aside and continued to say to Mary: "Welcome to the Witch's House. There are not only four century-old witches here, but also dozens of young witches learning about witches here."
"This is our home, our shelter, a school, a fortress, and a secret realm we have opened up."
Mary looked at Julia strangely, staring at each other with her blue eyes.
Then he chuckled.
"Is this some fancy new treatment?"
"I may have some auditory hallucinations, and occasionally I will be agitated because of this, but my sister! I am not crazy, like the witch in the rumors..."
Crunch, crunch, crunch!
An empty armored man came over, took the car keys from Julia's hand very obediently, behaved like a gentleman, and then whistled, drove the sports car, and parked the sports car in the garage very skillfully.
Mary's originally questioning and teasing words were all muted when they came to her lips.
She looked at her friend in shock.
He pointed at the moving armor again, feeling a little speechless at this moment.
She suspected that in addition to auditory hallucinations, she also had visual hallucinations.
But at this moment, an even more shocked voice sounded in Mary's ears.
"Witch? Extraordinary?"
"Isn't this something from rumors and stories from the last era? I always thought it was false."
"Fake? What is true and what is false?"
"After the wasteland, there are us demon sealers and pure black messengers. Before the wasteland, there are also Gods and the expelled gods."
"Supernatural has always existed in this world. It seems more reasonable that witches would appear in the last era!"
"Not just witches, maybe the werewolves, vampires, wizards, knights, and dragons that appear in those stories are all real."
"It just became the inner world for some reason, don't show it to the outside! Only a few people can come into contact with these realities, and with the destruction of the world and the subversion of civilization, this inner world has also been buried."
Two discussing voices spoke unscrupulously in Mary's ears.
Mary's mind was even more confused.
It feels like my mind is about to explode.
She was just a fashionable girl who wanted to marry a rich man. How could something like this happen?
At this time, Julia was beside Mary, but she didn't give her much time to digest.
Pulling Mary on the water, she walked towards the castle.
Passed through a thin layer of dense fog.
The originally quiet water beneath his feet turned into solid stone slabs.
"I have to say, you did a good job!" Julia suddenly raised her head and said hello.
In the sky, several young witches flew across the sky on broomsticks. Some of the little witches who had not yet learned to ride a broomstick were dragged behind the broomsticks by the older witches, making piercing screams.
Mary looked blankly at the witches passing above her head, and gradually regained some of her thoughts. She obviously had a lot to say and ask, but when she came to her mouth, it turned into: "Aren't you afraid that people around you will see it?"
Julia smiled mysteriously and stretched out her hand.
The forest behind him suddenly closed up, and the road leading to the outside world suddenly disappeared.
Waves of mist rose over the forest, shrouding the entire manor.
"Some small tricks make it less easy for people to discover us." Julia said with a smile.
After saying that, he suddenly turned around and asked the blank space beside him: "By the way! Where are Annie and Jenny?"
Then the expression on Julia's face suddenly showed some strange changes, and then returned to normal.
Then he said as if communicating with someone.
"Them! You should know it too! I came back this time because of Anne and Jenny. Stuer has been suffering from this matter for a long time. But she has been unable to do anything. Not long ago, Anne also There’s Jenny, falling in love with the same boy again,” Julia sighed.
"This is the curse of their family. They have mastered the power of immortality, so they are bound to be cursed."
"I know it too, but this time Stuer said that this time is different. She seems to have a premonition that if no measures are taken this time, Annie and Jenny will really die and never be reborn."
Mary had no idea what Julia was saying.
I just felt that Julia's state at this time... seemed inexplicably similar to hers.
It was like there was some kind of invisible 'spirit' around her that was communicating with her.
At the same time, Mary heard the sound again in her ears.
"She also has a guest with her?"
"No! No! There are only a few guests in total. This time, we are the only ones who thought of this trick and traveled through time and space to ambush the previous era."
"So who is she communicating with? A real ghost?"
"Wait... maybe we have all overlooked a big problem! A big, big problem!"
"Guests are the ghosts of time. If we can't interfere with the running of time, then everything is fixed. We are only witnesses and cannot become participants. But now... we are involved!"
The sound of discussion suddenly came to a halt.
It seemed that the two people in the dialogue were shocked by a certain message at the same time and fell into deep thought.
Mary still didn't understand, but she began to calm down, trying hard to hear the words clearly and remember them in her heart.
No matter how dull she was, she understood that a completely different side of the world was slowly unfolding in front of her.
The light in the castle is not as dark as expected, the lighting is very good and makes people feel very comfortable.
It was not as dark and damp as the castle had in mind.
Several little witches under the age of ten were running in the corridor, and when they saw Julia, they dispersed. The thing they were kicking around like a ball, with a bang, transformed into a mangy dog with severe hair loss in the smoke.
The mangy dog looked at Julia with sleepy eyes, yawned loudly, then covered his eyes with his ears, and continued to sleep soundly on the ground, as if he would never get enough sleep.
"It's hard to believe that it is a hybrid between a demon lion and a dragon dog. Look at what it looks like now. It's worse than a pet dog." Julia passed by the mangy dog and kicked it hard. said. The heels of the long high-heeled shoes almost dug into the mangy dog's body. Its soft skin, hair and fat embedded the heels, but it didn't seem to feel any pain.
This castle has obviously also been cast with some 'witchcraft' containing spatial attributes.
The castle doesn't look too big from the outside, but the inner space is extremely large, but it doesn't make people feel obtrusive. It seems that the space here should be as big as it is.
The young witches are still somewhat restless. If they see a stranger, they will follow them and peek furtively.
The older witches are completely different. They are very low-key, and most of them cover themselves with black robes to avoid direct contact with people's eyes.
If they occasionally come into contact, they will quickly look away as if they were frightened.
"It seems that these witches are more like some inexperienced and overly homely otakus!" After Mary got used to it, she boldly began to observe the witches coming and going, and couldn't help but sigh.
Likewise, Mary's flaming attire and appearance looked bright and dazzling to the witches.
"Of course! Pure witches mostly feel the power of tranquility in darkness and gloom. So they are mostly quiet and don't like noise. Of course, the power of darkness is dangerous, and sometimes it can bring unforeseen consequences to them. Knowing the harm. This is why they cover themselves with black robes." Julia explained on the side.
Mary finally came to her senses at this time.
Then he asked Julia: "Julie! Am... am I a witch too?"
Julia turned around, stared at Mary and said, "No! You are not a witch!"
"Witches are not mages, but warlocks. We train according to our bloodline, and our achievements are determined at birth. Subsequent training is only to allow us to master the power in our bodies and use them."
"You were not a witch when you were born, and you will never be one again."
"Your situation is quite special. It is somewhat similar to a certain situation recorded in ancient books."
"If I guess correctly, you should be..."
Snapped!
A colorful cloud suddenly exploded above Mary and Julia's heads, and the shattered cloud suddenly turned into pitch-black ink and fell towards them.
Julia snapped her fingers, instantly evaporating the ink.
The little witches dispersed behind them. The little red-haired witch who took the lead ran extremely fast, and it was obvious that it was her masterpiece before.
"What should it be?" Mary asked hurriedly.
Julia did not continue speaking, but stretched out her hand to grab on the wall.
It actually opened a door directly.
Take Mary through the door.
Entering an office filled with huge bookcases and picture frames.
In the office, an old witch who looks short, has a tall and curved nose, and has silver hair is commanding a quill and grading something on the table.
Then he sighed from time to time.
When she saw Julia walking in with Mary, the old witch took off her spectacles.
The eyes under the spectacle frames did not exist, there were only two shallow...transparent eyelids.
But in the glasses frame in her hand, there were two rotating eyeballs.
The eyeballs were rolling back and forth in the handkerchief in the witch's hand, as if wiping away dust.
"Is this the awakened Divine Whisperer? The contractor of the ancient gods, the poor, unlucky person who is watched by fate?" The old witch asked Mary, holding the glasses frame that turned her eyes.
