So I became a witch

"enough."

"And among them, the effect on children is the best..."

"Enough is enough!" I roared like a lion.

Sylvia didn't flinch, looked into my eyes calmly and said, "This is the truth you want to know. Are you satisfied now?"

I froze for a moment, and my whole body was like a deflated balloon, and I sat powerlessly on the bed.

In this way, everything can be connected.The memories I saw on the Ellenview before were probably on the way to deliver the sacrifices.Those children who were cruelly packed into wooden barrels were the so-called 'sacrifices'.

I opened my mouth, but didn't know what to say.Sacrifice, doomsday, etc., for me who grew up in a peaceful world, these words are too far away.Because of this, I cannot refute what has already happened.

"...Does Andrea know this?" I asked dully.

"She doesn't need to know this. Just like our name, the Rockefeller dynasty no longer exists, and what is left is only a family named Rockefeller. She doesn't need to bear too much for those past things."

"Then what about you, why do you know this? Who are you?" I stared at Sylvia and said.

"It's just that she's Andrea's cousin." Sylvia said with a slight smile.

We stared at each other, and there seemed to be countless fire lights flickering in our sights.

"What's going on with the Black Feather Cult? Why did they kidnap Andrea? Does this have anything to do with Rockefeller and that other world?" I paused for a moment and asked another topic.

This time, Sylvia didn't answer me.She was silent for a moment, then said slowly: "I invite you to go to the Rockefeller mansion and talk about these things in detail."

Although she didn't say anything, I already had an answer in my heart.

Revenge, huh...

Really, it's a topic that can't make people happy.

We didn't visit the rest of the rooms. We returned to the deck with Sylvia, and the oil lamp that was lit went out the moment the door was closed. All time seemed to stop at this moment, the long past Once again reburied.

"Speaking of which, why are there those things on the lower decks of the Ellenville and Moldia? Could it be that..."

"Hey, how was your shopping?" Before I could finish my question, I was interrupted.Lying on a sun lounger, Charlotte greeted me casually in a bathing suit and sunglasses.Lily, on the other hand, was still wearing the same maid uniform for thousands of years, standing beside Xia Luohua with a smile.

"...What the hell are you!"

"Huh? It's boring to be idle anyway, so why not come and bask in the sun." Xia Luohua said indifferently.

"There's no sun here! By the way, you just went to the room to change your swimsuit! Don't you want to swim in the sea of ​​stars?"

"That's not true, but the clothes are always right. I also brought them for you."

"I do not want it!"

"Well, although you can't swim, you can still go fishing." Xia Luohua casually picked up the fishing rod inserted in the pole hole by her side, flicked it lightly, and the fishing line fell into the sea in such a calm manner.

My desire to complain just now rose again: "How can there be fish in this kind of sea, and the boat is driving so fast, even if there are fish, it is impossible..."

"Ah, hooked."

"..." There really is!

"Well... it seems, a little bit, some big ones." Xia Luohua stood up from the sun chair, took off her sunglasses, and leaned against the guardrail to gather up the fishing line vigorously.

"Well, I think it's better to stop like this? Don't you think, the sea water seems to have become a bit muddy." I stood beside her and looked at the lake surface with some concern.

"Huh? What silly words? In my dictionary, there is never the word let go."

"Then you may have bought a pirated dictionary..."

"Don't be silly, then, it's time to go!" Xia Luohua clenched the fishing rod tightly, and suddenly exerted strength all over her body.Suddenly, the ship seemed to sink slightly to one side, and then, a shadow over ten meters suddenly appeared in the air.

"Lily!" Xia Luohua shouted loudly.

"Understood." Lily who was waiting at the side suddenly raised a hatchet the size of her, leaped high, and stepped on the giant fish. The giant fish that was still fluttering in the air was quiet After falling down, the huge body fell heavily on the deck, and the whole ship sank.Afterwards, Lily, who jumped up just now, raised the hatchet in her hand and aimed at the giant fish's neck...

"Stick!" I was completely dodged by the splash of water brought out by the fish just now, and I was baptized by another spray of sea water in front of me.Although I would like to complain about why the body of the giant fish is filled with seawater but not blood, but since I can catch such a big fish here, things become strange, and it is inevitable that my whole body is completely wet It was soaked, and the unhealed wound was shivering from the cold.

"Ah, isn't it all soaked?" Xia Luohua, who was obviously the person involved but pretended to be nothing, blinked her innocent eyes and said.

"...whose fault do you think it was?"

"You can use the bathroom in the bedroom," Sylvia added duly.Obviously she was standing next to me just now, but when she saw Xia Luohua fishing, she immediately hid far away, so she didn't take up any sea water on her body. It's not a good thing, so it's better to clean it up quickly. Speaking of which, Ms. Xia's luck seems to be quite good for catching such a big Xinghai fish. If you don't mind, can you leave it to our chef? "

"Well, my luck has always been good, so I look forward to the level of the chef of the Rockefeller family."

The two women looked at each other and laughed meaningfully. Standing beside me, I suddenly felt a chill in my heart. I don't know whether it was because of the surrounding atmosphere or the sea water on my body.

"So, shall I take a shower first?" I asked cautiously.

"Well, then you can go." Charlotte said with a smile, but she didn't look at me, but paid attention to Sylvia's direction.

"... Are you really all right?"

"It's really fine." Sylvia also said with a smile.

It doesn't look like it's okay at all... I sighed, took the bath towel handed over by the kind attendant, wrapped it around my body, and walked towards the way back.

Chapter 31 Confused

The water in the bathroom seems to have been brought from the shore, the temperature is just right, and the bathing equipment is quite complete. After a brief rinse, I noticed another problem.

I don't seem to have brought a change of clothes.

After all, who would have thought that their casual clothes would get wet before they set off.

But it's not completely helpless. I remember that when I boarded the boat just now, Xia Luohua stuffed me with a suitcase, saying that it was specially prepared for me, but...

I took a deep breath and slowly opened the suitcase on the side of the bed.

"..."

The ominous premonition has been experienced, and the clothes placed in the suitcase are indeed changeable clothes, and the styles are so diverse that you can choose from them... It's just that none of them are of the normal type.

I can bear princess dresses, maid suits, sailor suits, etc., but why are there still dead water and bunny girls? Hey!There is also a wedding dress... What kind of strange things did this guy put in it!

What's even more exaggerated is that I did a little comparison and found that these clothes are quite suitable for me... When did she measure my data and then customize these clothes?I can already imagine that guy secretly smiling.

I sighed, and finally chose—the maid uniform, half because I had the mentality of giving up, and the other half because I had gotten used to it.I quickly changed into the same small size clothes as Lily, put on the apron, puff sleeves and headband, and walked out of the bedroom lightly.

On the deck, Sylvia and Xia Luohua were sitting at the opposite corner of a table, talking and laughing about something, they looked very harmonious, but it gave me a bad feeling.After noticing my arrival, Xia Luohua showed a "really so" expression, as if she knew that I would make such a choice a long time ago: "Come back?"

"...Can't you prepare some normal clothes?"

"Huh? Why can't I understand what you're talking about?" Xia Luohua pretended to be stupid.

"Forget it... what did you guys talk about just now?" I looked at the smiling Sylvia who was opposite Xia Luohua again.Although the two were very harmonious when I came, this harmony is more like the dead silence after the gunpowder smoke. It is very likely that something seemed to have happened between the two during the time I was away.

"It's nothing, just a little bit, talking about some adults' topics." Sylvia raised the teacup gracefully, and slowly took a sip of the black tea.

The two looked at each other and smiled in unison.

Wow... I still can't understand women or something.

The big fish just now was gone, and the cleaning staff on the boat were hastily cleaning up the water stains left by it, which seemed to disappear completely in a short time.

Then the two chatted about some things, most of which were topics I didn't understand, so I simply found a chair and sat down, staring blankly at the sky in a daze.

But it's amazing.There is no sun or moon in the sky, but the world in the sea of ​​stars can still distinguish day and night.The sky gradually darkened, and countless stars lit up one by one, hanging on the night screen.

For some reason, I have also studied astrological charts for a while, but the starry sky I see now does not exist at any angle on the earth, and there are many galaxies in it that I can't name. .In the clear and transparent sea water, the phantom of the starry sky is also reflected. Standing in front of the ship and looking at it, at the junction of the sky and the coast, the two starry skies seem to be connected together, and jointly draw a magnificent star map.

Perhaps, this is one of the reasons why it is called Xinghai.

Not long after, the waiter came to inform us that it was time for dinner.The dinner was as luxurious as the decoration of the ship, and the big fish caught by Xia Luohua before were also impressively listed.Although it is divided into many pieces, it looks like a big one.It is said that this kind of fish that lives in the sea of ​​stars is extremely rare, and its body is full of abundant planetesimals. It is a very precious supplement for demon hunters who have not stepped into the star, but they should not eat too much.I tried cutting a bit of fish and dipping it in soy sauce, and found that it tasted like normal fish.

After drinking and eating, Sylvia offered to take us to visit the venue where the party banquet was held.However, because there were only a few of us on this ship, it seemed extraordinarily deserted, so I just found a reason to slip out, staring at the starry sky in a daze while digesting.

A week after the battle with the witch, my body has been repeating the process of breaking and healing.The influence of power and energy is greater than I imagined. Although I can still be counted as the eighth rank of the mortal world, I will never be able to do anything like fighting. If I use a little force, my body will be torn apart. I really need to go all out If I start fighting, I'm afraid my body will be torn apart at that moment.The school doctor also came to the same conclusion. Although his judgment was affected by the overflowing witch power, it was not much different.

Anyway, now that the power of a witch is almost exhausted, I only have the power of a child.

But fortunately, this is not the first time I have encountered such a state. Even if I lose my strength, I will not be dying, let alone recovering.For others such an injury could be fatal, but for me it was just a matter of time.

At worst, just abandon this body and create another one.

I froze for a few seconds before I was taken aback by the thought.No no no, would ordinary people want to give up their bodies so easily?

Perhaps, subconsciously, I have already recognized the fact that I am not a human being.

I slowly raised my right hand, staring at the little finger on the far side.Although it looks the same as usual on the surface, it has completely become an aggregate of high-level information. In terms of density, it is even several times higher than a black hole. If you swipe it with a little force, you will have the illusion of splitting the space.

The power of the witch, bound by the unknown, seemed to have the urge to rush out of the body after that battle.

If this continues, does it also mean that one day, I will completely become a witch?

At that point, am I, really me?

I leaned down and grasped the position of my heart tightly with my left hand.

I noticed it from the first time, I just didn't want to admit it.

Every time I become a witch, the voice that whispers in my ear...is myself.

As the number of times increases, the desire to destroy everything is also increasing.Although the current self can still suppress it, it is completely unknown whether I can suppress the desire to destroy if it continues.

In the end, what will happen to me?

Chapter 32 Breakfast

"Well……"

I opened my eyes in a daze, with a splitting headache.

The wall clock on the wall reads 7:00 am, which is the time I usually wake up.The light shines through the gaps in the curtains, illuminating the entire room, and my memory is awakened little by little.

By the way, after standing on the railing for a while last night, I returned to the cabin again, and then I remembered that I was dragged to some KTV box by Xia Luohua, and the memory was interrupted.

...Wait, didn't I have something weird done to me?

I hastily lifted the quilt, and the maid uniform I was wearing outside had been taken off and neatly folded on the bedside table, leaving only a set of children's underwear and underwear.

...Although it's a bit embarrassing, it doesn't seem to be a problem.

I held my head down, trying desperately to recall what happened last night, but I couldn't.

At this moment, there was a bell ringing at the door. I didn't continue to think about it. After changing my clothes in a hurry, I opened the door of the guest room.

Standing at the door was Lily. Although she kept her usual smile, she was tired no matter how she looked.

"Well, what happened?" I asked cautiously.

"Did you forget?" she asked in surprise.

"Forgot what?" I froze for a moment.

"...It seems that I have forgotten it. Please don't worry about it. Breakfast is ready and the master is waiting for you in the dining room." She turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait a minute, half of what you say makes people feel uneasy, okay! What happened last night!"

"...Sometimes, it's a good thing to forget."

Doesn't this make people more concerned?

In the end, I still have absolutely no recollection of what happened last night, or how I got back to my guest room.

"Speaking of which, the boat is so slow. The small wooden boat from before has been rowed for 10 minutes, but this big boat has been sailing for almost a day, isn't it alright?" I asked casually while walking on the road. Lily said.

The atmosphere today seemed a bit different compared to yesterday. The attendants who could be seen every few intersections disappeared for some reason.Are you still awake?I guessed for no reason in my heart.

"Ah, Xiaochen, you are here!" The moment I opened the door, I seemed to be warmly greeted by someone.

"..." I closed the door silently and rubbed my eyes.Well, it must have been my delusional illusion just now, try to open it in a different way now.

I pushed the door open again, and the same group of people appeared in front of me. Mo Yuling held a chicken leg in each of her left and right hands, chewing and chewing, not caring at all about her mouth full of grease, and the others were also sitting with her , enjoying breakfast in a circle.It's not because of how sharp my eyes are, but because this group of guys are too "stand out from the crowd", of course, in a bad sense.

After taking my eyes off them, I noticed that there seemed to be a lot more people in the restaurant than yesterday, some unfamiliar faces and some familiar people.For example, sitting at the edge of the restaurant by the sea window, a blond boy talking and laughing with a group of beauties; there is also a middle-aged uncle with a decadent appearance, who is concentrating on playing games, while the cold man sitting next to him The beauty scolded and confiscated his mobile phone, and many guys who had met once...

"...Yesterday, what exactly happened?" I turned around in silence and asked Lily again.

"No, I only found out about this this morning, so it should have nothing to do with what happened last night." Lily replied.

"Oh is that so?" I breathed a sigh of relief... what a ghost!I just slept all night because the hairy world suddenly turned upside down. Could it be that I used the power of the witch unconsciously?Thinking about it is a little scary!

"Hey! Xiaochen's side... Ah Le, what's your dress?" Mo Yuling greeted me again, showing a confused expression.

It was only then that I remembered the fact that I was wearing a maid uniform, and silently covered my face: "...No, you misidentified the person."

"Hey, but Xiaochen is Xiaochen, right? Could it be...cosplay?"
