Chapter 146: I Testify! The Abyssal Eye Witch Is Like This!

"Play it again?" The Abyssal Eye Witch sneered. "Do you even hear yourself? You think I'd doubt my own ability? Or that I'd doubt my own eyes?"

"Brother, better safe than sorry." Big Boss shrugged.

"Better safe? There's no such 'better safe'!" The Abyssal Eye Witch looked at Big Boss, and at this moment she was even angered into laughter.

No matter whose subordinate Big Boss was, this face thicker than a city wall gave the Abyssal Eye Witch a new experience.

She truly hadn't expected that this guy could actually spout nonsense with a straight face even when the evidence was conclusive.

Being able to do this much was indeed quite admirable.

"Alright, little guy, you've already been exposed, don't quibble anymore." The Abyssal Eye Witch shook her head, opened her arms. "Come on, kill me, and you'll have accomplished a great merit!"

"Brother, why would I kill you? I don't understand a word you're saying." Big Boss scratched his head. "Ah, maybe it's just that your eyeball is broken!"

Still acting, still acting, this guy's acting skills are really too good...

The Abyssal Eye Witch coldly snorted. "Alright then, let you die understanding! I'm telling you, my ability never makes mistakes. If this footage can prove I wronged you, then I'll let you dispose of me as you wish!"

Speaking, she snapped her fingers once more.

This time, she also applied a dispel art to her own term art.

This is a term art that doesn't require much spiritual power consumption, but the effect is good.

This way, it can guarantee no one else tampered with it above.

A holographic image emerged from that eyeball.

Only to see a handsome boy sitting on the bed, throwing himself at Big Boss without regard for himself, while leaning over he also tugged at his own clothes, whimpering as he bit by bit took off his robe.

And Big Boss stood in front of him the whole time, making a subway old man question mark expression at a loss.

Abyssal Eye Witch:??? "This, this isn't right."

The Abyssal Eye Witch wiped her eyes, snapped her fingers once more.

Only to see the handsome boy lying on Big Boss, tearing at clothes.

Big Boss subway old man question mark.

"This, this is impossible."

The Abyssal Eye Witch wiped her eyes, snapped her fingers yet again.

Handsome boy tearing clothes.

Big Boss face full of question marks.

Abyssal Eye Witch:

The air bit by bit became awkward, the surroundings increasingly silent, only insect cries and bird calls remaining.

The Abyssal Eye Witch stiffly lifted her head, looked at Big Boss. "You, did the tampering?"

"Brother, what are you even saying? I never touched this eyeball."

Big Boss also hadn't expected that the footage inside this eyeball had actually been rewritten in a complete reversal.

But he quickly caught the new script, sighed a breath.

"Actually, I didn't want to say it, after all just now brother you went too far."

"If it weren't for your aggressive pressing, brother I also wouldn't have let you verify."

"Brother, you... ay!"

"South Tong be South Tong then, as long as you don't make a move on me, we can still be friends."

The Abyssal Eye Witch's mouth corner pulled, bit by bit stiffly lowered her head. "Heh, hehe, so, so that's how it is... hehe."

Meanwhile, a thought also flashed through her mind.

It was a thought transmitted from the split-body Abyssal Eye, that is, that camera.

—Master, I just wanted to save you some face.

"Heh, hehe."

The Abyssal Eye Witch bit by bit hugged her own knees, embarrassedly burying her head inside like an ostrich.

Damn it, too embarrassing.

Originally thought it was this little guy who made moves on herself.

Didn't expect, it was herself who made moves on him.

Yuan Ye ah Yuan Ye, what exactly are you doing? How can you be so shameless? You've shamed Mother Adult and Father Adult too much! Meanwhile, the Abyssal Eye Witch also understood the doubtful points in the whole matter.

Indeed, the little guy in front is only Third Rank, how could she possibly block all her own rune meridians, unable to use spiritual power? Where would he get the ability?

The Blazing Fire Withered Leaf used before, were all tested on other magic beasts.

He simply had no opportunity to poison her! Since so, then the answer can only be one.

It's all that thief Full Moon Queen!

She not only used ice magic, but also placed a curse in the magic, as long as she herself undid the freeze, that curse would take effect, letting her meridians shatter! This matter actually still has many doubtful points, but under Dian Huo Lao Ye's 3000-year lifespan questioning, the Abyssal Eye Witch had no other doubts.

"So it is, so it is, according to common sense, if I want to undo this freeze, I can only use spiritual power to slowly melt, and if I use spiritual power, I'll be hit by this curse, directly explode and die!"

"Full Moon Queen, seeing you usually righteous and upright, pure as ice and clean as jade, an appearance of not eating human world fireworks, didn't expect you're actually such a poisonous woman!"

"Your vicious scheme is so toxic!"

"Heh heh, too bad, you didn't expect that to dispel the freeze, I used not spiritual power, but the Blazing Fire Withered Leaf herb!"

"Your curse, failed to kill me!"

"Looking at it this way, I not only shouldn't blame this little guy, but should thank him!"

Speaking, the Abyssal Eye Witch turned her head to look at Big Boss, but her expression in the next second directly froze.

Wait...

I just now...

Did I speak my inner thoughts out loud! "What's wrong, brother, why'd you stop talking?" Big Boss doubtfully looked at her.

「I, didn't speak? 」

「Yeah, you were just spacing out there, your mouth trembling, I don't know what you were doing. 」

「Oh, thank goodness, thank goodness. 」

The Abyssal Eye Witch relaxed; it seemed what she had just said in her heart had not been exposed.

And Li Cheng across from her really couldn't hold it in anymore.

You say this Abyssal Eye Witch is stupid, but sometimes she can keenly perceive the truth.

You say she's smart, but she's so abstract she can say what's in her heart directly.

Is this the dual nature of gods and demons of the Abyssal Eye Witch?

「Anyway, things are clear now, brother, I didn't do anything South Tong to you, nor did I poison you. 」Li Cheng scratched his head, a slight blush appearing on his face: 「Anyway, whatever you did to me tonight, I won't tell anyone. 」

You're blushing like a bubble teapot! I'm not South Tong! I'm not!

The Abyssal Eye Witch wanted to cry but had no tears, but she knew at this moment that no matter how she explained, it would only get darker, so she could only mutter in a low voice: 「Hmm, thank you. 」

「It's nothing. 」Li Cheng replied softly.

The atmosphere instantly became much more awkward than just now.

The Abyssal Eye Witch hugged her knees, recalling the images she had just seen in the vision.

Recalling her own wanton appearance, she felt as if ten thousand Little Li Chengs were crawling all over her body.

She kept shaking her head, her gaze glancing at Li Cheng from time to time.

What are you thinking, Yuan Ye, your disguise is so excellent, he won't discover you're a woman.

You weren't exposed.

No!

「By the way, Brother Shisi. 」Li Cheng spoke softly.

「Here! 」The Abyssal Eye Witch quickly raised her head and responded loudly.

「Uh, no need to be so loud. 」

「I didn't do anything wrong! 」The Abyssal Eye Witch continued to say loudly.

「I didn't say you did anything wrong……」

「I didn't think anything strange! 」

「I didn't say you were thinking anything strange……」Li Cheng laughed and cried at this self-destructing truck: 「By the way, you……aren't from the Academy, right? 」

「Ah, I……」The Abyssal Eye Witch's heart, which had just calmed down, hung again.

「Don't worry, I won't report you; since you're hiding in the Back Mountain, you must have your reasons. 」Li Cheng smiled gently: 「Everyone has secrets, hmm, you planted so many flowers and grasses for me, I should do something to thank you. 」

「No need, no need, that's my thank-you gift! 」The Abyssal Eye Witch quickly waved her hands.

But unexpectedly Li Cheng put his arm around her shoulder and pulled her directly into his arms: 「Ay yo, why are you being polite, we're all TM brothers, say, do you need my help with anything! 」

Goosebumps rose from the soles of the Abyssal Eye Witch's feet all the way to the top of her head; she knew this kind of gesture was quite common among boys.

But she still trembled in heart and spirit, extremely nervous.

「I, I don't have anything I need your help with……」

「Then what are you doing at the Academy? Surely you're not here to assassinate the school leadership? 」Li Cheng asked knowingly.

「Ah! How, how could that be! Hoho, hoho. 」The Abyssal Eye Witch laughed awkwardly: 「I, I am……right, right, I'm here to find my father! 」

「Your father? 」

Li Cheng raised his eyebrows; this was a plot not in the original PC version.

Could it be, this witch also has a father?

「Yes, my father……hmm, he, left me a long time ago. 」

Speaking of this topic, the Abyssal Eye Witch was not so nervous anymore.

「Have you seen him? 」

「No. 」

「Then how do you find him? 」

「I don't know either. 」

The Abyssal Eye Witch shook her head; she also wanted to know the answer to this question.

Back then, the Rebirth Witch sent her out from the bottommost layer of the Abyss, only telling her to go find her father.

But did not tell her what her father's surname and name were, or what he looked like.

So after the Abyssal Eye Witch came to Shi Jie, she searched for decades, and then stopped searching.

「Uh……」Li Cheng thought for a moment: 「Was your father good to you? 」

「I have no memory of him at all. 」The Abyssal Eye Witch shook her head: 「I only know that every time Mother mentioned him, her expression was very complex. 」

「Is that so. 」Li Cheng nodded: 「Then your mother is……」「Mother's identity is inconvenient to reveal! 」The Abyssal Eye Witch smiled: 「Hmm, anyway……I feel, Mother should love Father very much. 」

「Why do you say that. 」

「Hmm……because although Mother always scolds Father as an unfaithful man, calls him a scumbag, says to bring him back to me, but……she didn't really want to kill him. 」The Abyssal Eye Witch sighed: 「On the contrary, she always said things like, long and lonely years, if only he could be by my side, that would be nice. 」

「Hearing that, your parents are quite romantic. 」Li Cheng raised his eyebrows.

「Don't just listen to me; how about you, are your father and mother on good terms? 」

The Abyssal Eye Witch hugged her knees, secretly glancing at Li Cheng.

There was no candlelight in the room, only moonlight illuminating it.

Under that pale yet dim light, the youth's profile was handsome yet not lacking in softness.

Miss Witch stared blankly for a second.

When she came back to her senses, Li Cheng had already stood up.

"What's wrong?"

"Something's off, there's noise."

Big Boss walked to the window, his expression one of extreme vigilance, but the smile in his eyes simply could not be hidden.

They're here.

That pack of witch-hunting disaster wolves finally could not resist the temptation.

Opening their blood-filled maws toward the fragrant witch's blood.

Thick mist surged into the room from all directions, a faint fishy stench permeating within that mist.

That was not the stench of blood, but more like saliva secreted from some animal's mouth.

Tree shadows swayed, the rustling wind blowing the tattered window frame until its branches creaked.

The Abyssal Eye Witch walked to the window, and for the first time in front of Big Boss, revealed a fearful expression.

Just as disaster wolves could sense witches, witches could also sense disaster wolves.

The Abyssal Eye Witch knew very well that the terrifying monster, staring with tiger gaze in the crevice between two worlds, had already come to this world, come to her side.

"Looks like there's one thing I didn't get wrong."

"What thing?"

"Today, it is indeed my destined death."

Yuan Ye's face revealed mockery and despair.

Normally, she would not fear those disaster wolves at all.

Even if they mobilized the entire nest, she had plenty of methods to escape, and might even counter-kill quite a few.

But the past is the past, and now is now.

Right now, her rune meridians were all blocked; the only magic she could use was dispelling magic that didn't require much spiritual power—let alone combat, even running away had not a shred of possibility.

Did not expect that this tiny hut would be her burial place.

"Do you know what's coming?" Big Boss put on a surprised look.

"Yes, I know. It's a terrifying disaster, a hunter in the crevices of time and space, a cursed wolf pack, a walker in the mist." The Abyssal Eye Witch shook her head: "Mu, you run away quickly. Their target is me. You leave here, they won't chase you."

"What about you?"

"I, I of course will stay here and face my destiny." The Abyssal Eye Witch smiled, patted his shoulder: "Alright, you hurry and go. Don't worry, I'll be fine."

"But your face is already written all over with 'you're going to die.'" Big Boss blinked.

"What?" The Abyssal Eye Witch was stunned, then looked at her right hand, only then realizing she had been trembling.

That was not excitement, but fear.

"So I can fear death too. Truly ironic."

"Don't act all edgy here."

Big Boss looked at her, took her hand, and was about to take her out of the house.

"What are you doing?"

"Running away, what else?"

"You..." The Abyssal Eye Witch was stunned for a moment, then suddenly shook off Big Boss's hand: "You run yourself, understand? This monster is coming for me. You leave here, they won't catch up to you. You can survive. I swear on my soul, you can believe me—"

"But you'll die."

Before she finished speaking, Big Boss interrupted her.

"You..." The Abyssal Eye Witch was stunned. After a few seconds, she laughed helplessly: "Little guy, I don't even know what to say anymore."

"Listen up. The monsters coming here right now all have fifth-rank or higher combat power, and they're not coming one by one, but in groups."

"You're just a third-rank mage. You have not a shred of chance of winning against them. You can't even last one minute."

"You run, I die alone. You stay here, we both die together."

"This is reality, a sad reality."

"Reality isn't a house-playing knight game, nor a fairy tale where you can reach the other side with just willpower and belief."

"Do you understand what I'm saying?"

The Abyssal Eye Witch stared at Big Boss, stared into his eyes.

She spoke very quickly, not even knowing if Big Boss had heard clearly, but she knew the monsters had arrived, and she had to make the young person before her leave.

She could not let this innocent person die here.

So she pushed Big Boss's back: "Go. You don't need to bear my destiny. Actually, I originally planned that once my injuries healed, I'd kill you!"

"So abandon me!"

She pushed Big Boss like that, pushing him out the door.

Big Boss turned his head, their gazes intertwined in the air.

"What are you spacing out for? You want to die here?"

"I don't." Big Boss shook his head.

"Then what are you waiting for?"

"Got it." Big Boss nodded and ran toward the distance.

Watching his back view disappear into the mist, the Abyssal Eye Witch let out a long sigh of relief.

At the same time, a bitter smile appeared on her face.

"Clearly I was the one who let him go, but now I'm grieving and regretting... hoping he'll come back to save me."

"I'm truly... too disgusting."

"Hah, is this the fear of death..."

"When you come into close contact with death, you treat everything around you as a lifeline... Adult Mother, I finally understand what you meant by that."

"But I'm different from you. I chose a different road."

"I will never live by stepping on others' corpses."

She walked back into the room, shut the doors and windows, then pulled several still-usable disposable relics from her storage ring and arranged them in the corners of the room.

Those were her last means of self-defense.

"Mother Adult, today, I, Yuan Ye, will die here. The task you entrusted to me can no longer be completed." The Abyssal Eye Witch gripped her Abyss Blade and whispered, "I have today's outcome because I acted on my own and assassinated the Full Moon Queen."

"From the moment I set foot on this road, I already knew what awaited me ahead... was the Purgatory of Asura."

"But I have no regrets."

"I am willing to bury my bones for all living beings."

"I only have some regrets: in this life, I never got to see the day the Abyss ended, nor return to your side to rescue you from that cold prison."

"Mother Adult, your child is unfilial. In this life, I can never return to your side again!"

"Please lend me power. Oh no, please lend me courage."

"Let me, at the moment death comes, still muster the courage and laugh out loud."

After saying these words, the Abyssal Eye Witch still turned around with a battle-ready stance and opened her eyes.

The next second, her pupils suddenly shrank to a point.

A familiar face came into view!

Li Chengzheng stood outside the door, looking at him with a complex gaze.

That complex look was just like...

An adult who has grown up looking at someone with eighth-grade syndrome.

The Abyssal Eye Witch felt goosebumps grow from the top of her head all the way to the soles of her feet. Her mouth corner twitched continuously, and the determination she had just raised completely collapsed.

What could be more socially dead than being seen by others while making an eighth-grade declaration? Her jade feet almost carved out a three-bedroom apartment on the ground.

"Hah, hah, you... you... why did you come back?"

"I said, I left, you will die." Li Cheng shook his head and smiled gently. "Hmm... to be honest, brother, I... am the same kind of person as you."

"Ah?"

Before the Abyssal Eye Witch could react, Li Cheng reached out, grabbed her sleeve, and tore hard, ripping off a strip of cloth.

Immediately afterward, he turned around, and in the Abyssal Eye Witch's panicked gaze, he used a barrier seal art.

It was a fourth-rank magic, not particularly advanced, almost a magic that students of Full Moon Academy all know how to use.

Its effect was to temporarily seal a place, so those inside could not perceive the outside, and those outside could not perceive the inside.

And at this moment, this magic, plus the strip of cloth Li Cheng tore off that carried her scent.

The Abyssal Eye Witch knew very well what the boy in front of her wanted to do—

He wanted to draw away that pack of magic wolves for himself.

"Are you crazy? You'll die? Are you crazy! Hey, undo the barrier!"

The Abyssal Eye Witch pounded on the wooden door with her fists, but at this moment she couldn't even use her spiritual power, so how could she break this barrier?

"You will live. I guarantee it."

Li Cheng stood outside the door, gave her a warm smile, turned around, and ran into the thick fog.

Entrapment had already begun; it was time for him to harvest the results.

And the Abyssal Eye Witch stared at his disappearing back view, powerlessly collapsing to the ground.

"Why... why so stupid..."

"Why did you come back..."

"Don't you want your life anymore!"
