Gui Xiaoqian endured nausea and bypassed a puddle of dark sewage on the road.

The shoddy sound of karaoke came from the left side of the street, the low, two-story buildings, the heavily obscured earthy curtains, and the smell of disinfectant coming from nowhere.

A glimpse of the neon signs made her realize that the whole street was full of karaoke parlors, at least on the surface.

She looked at the low-slung dwellings across from the karaoke room, at the explicit paintings on the windows to block the view, and at midnight the homes were still brightly lit.

Vaguely aware of something, she bit her lip in annoyance, as if she wanted to turn away, but then changed her mind. She walked down the dark alley.

Each house here has its own courtyard, and in some cases, there is a tall and strong man standing in the shadow outside the door. As Gui Xiaoqian walked through the alley, she could feel those malicious glances.

Dirty, filthy, stinking, the most filthy place in the world, why did she ask her to meet in such a place?

A dark shadow suddenly leapt from under her feet, and she was startled, and the condensed green light in her hand was almost thrown out. But then she realized that it was nothing more than a wild cat, and she breathed a sigh of relief, and watched the wild cat look back at her strangely in the corner.

She hesitated and walked to the corner. Only then did I find out that there was a dark alley here. If it weren't for the cat that suddenly appeared, she would probably have missed it.

There was no light in the dark alley, and the green light in Gui Xiaoqian's hand became brighter, like holding a green lantern in her hand. There was a sweet and greasy smell floating in the air, like cakes with saccharin sold in some low-quality small shops.

There is more than one gateway in this alley, but each one is mysterious. There was not a single light or sound in the courtyard. The pitch-black door leaves were uniformly painted with white paint house numbers, and some of them still had something hanging on them.

Gui Xiaoqian only glanced at it, and only dared to focus on those house numbers, she hoped that what she saw was something like a woman's head covered with long hair was just dazzling.

She stopped when she saw a strange string of numbers, 13-13-13, well, it looks like this is it.

In the silent alley, the sound of the bad music of the karaoke hall that had been heard all the time before also disappeared, and it was like another world, a strange and evil world hidden in the darkness.

A sharp "meow~" suddenly came from his feet.

Gui Xiaoqian was startled. Under the green light and shadow, a black shadow hurriedly rushed over, Gui Xiaoqian looked at the darkness at the end of the alley, she didn't see anything, but a chill rose from her back.

She began to knock desperately on the door, and the sound of the thump was infinitely amplified in the alley.

"Open the door, open the door!" Gui Xiaoqian's forehead broke out in a cold sweat, and there seemed to be some monster slowly approaching in the dark, but she couldn't see anything.

With a "clang", the door opened, and Gui Xiaoqian, who couldn't hold back, fell in.

Her knees hurt on the brick floor, and she endured the pain and got up and wiped the sticky moss on her clothes.

The door creaked behind her and slammed shut again. Gui Xiaoqian breathed a sigh of relief, and the creepy feeling disappeared.

Now, she began to look around.

The yard was small, about the size of two living rooms in her apartment, and there was a mechanical well in the middle of the yard, and the pump for pressurized water was rusty and looked like it had not been used for a long time. Facing her was a row of three brick houses, blue and black tiles, in the style of a common dwelling, with a bunch of corn and garlic hanging from the door painted red.

She sniffed the air, and the sweet aroma vanished. Instead, there's a stale smell, as if the air here belonged a hundred years ago.

"Come in. A soft voice came from the room in front of it, and then the window lit up dimly, an odd red light.

"Why do you have to meet here?" Gui Xiaoqian pushed the door and walked into the room, dissatisfied, "Why not in your club?"

"Naturally, I have my reasons, and it is that you insist on seeing me. The voice reminded.

"But I didn't say that I wanted to ...... in this kind of place," Gui Xiaoqian looked at the layout of the room.

Leaning against the wall there is a narrow offering table with a faded portrait of the God of Wealth pasted on the wall. In the corner of the room there are two broken wooden chairs, and a square table with brick feet. The door of the inner room is on Gui Xiaoqian's right hand, and there is a curtain hanging on the door that does not show its true color.

The dim light came out of nowhere, making Gui Xiaoqian feel like her eyes were covered with a dark red filter.

"How can you stand hiding in such a place?" Gui Xiaoqian's leg hurt, and she wanted to find a chair to sit down, but the greasy chair made her give up this plan.

"Alright, don't waste time, tell me why you're here. ”

"Don't even see each other?" Gui Xiaoqian sneered, "How do I know who I'm talking to?

The voice didn't answer.

Gui Xiaoqian followed the voice and walked towards the inner room, she opened the curtain without hesitation and entered the inner room.

Then freeze in place.

The offering table, faded idols, tattered chairs and tables with bricks, and a curtain of unrecognizable color hung on the door on the right-hand side.

Gui Xiaoqian continued to walk towards the curtain unconvincedly, opened it, and walked in.

She walked through room after room until she was exhausted and panting and stopped: "What the hell is this place. ”

The voice chuckled, "You can see it, this place is safe. ”

Well, Gui Xiaoqian was tired, she didn't want to be serious with this voice anymore: "Let me ask you, I have already brought Sherlock back from the dead as you said, so what should I do next?"

"No, no, no, dear, you didn't do what I said, and it upset me. ”

"But Sherlock did come back from the dead, didn't he? What does it matter what happened in between?" Gui Xiaoqian suddenly raised her voice.

"My dear, you have to do exactly what I say about the contract we signed, remember, and if you break it, I have the right to terminate it. And your deposit, I will not return it. ”

"I remember. Gui Xiaoqian frowned, "It's just hundreds of thousands, I don't care about the money, as long as you can do what you promised, I can give you more." ”

"I know, I know, I have no doubt about that. The voice said in a soothing tone, "But, I told you, the love spell is the most complex and difficult magic in the world. If you are not careful, it may have irreparable consequences, not to mention that the man you fall in love with is so different. ”

"I know that if it weren't hard, I wouldn't have come to you. Gui Xiaoqian muttered, "But you said you could do it, right? You said you were the most powerful witch." ”

"I'm certainly the most powerful witch, there's no doubt about that. The voice chuckled softly, "That's why I'm signing a contract with you." Beloved, you have to trust me, wholeheartedly. ”

"I believe you, but I ......," Gui Xiaoqian argued, "What I did didn't affect anything, didn't it? If I was in the orphanage at the time, that evil spirit or whatever could kill Lin Qian would make it easier, wouldn't it?"

"Wrong!" the voice suddenly became angry, "Big mistake, I told you that there is a price to pay for loving someone, otherwise even if all the women around him die, it will not be your turn!"

Gui Xiaoqian's chest rose and fell, and she didn't speak, but the look on her face was obviously not very convinced.

"If that Sherlock hadn't blocked Jiajia's attack for Lin Qian at that time, the whole thing would have developed towards another line of fate, do you understand?

"What fate line?" Gui Xiaoqian asked with a frown.

"Forget it, what's the use of talking to you about this. Forget that Lin Qian, you are no match for her, and she is not so easy to kill. Please focus on the completion of the love spell, as we agreed. The voice said in a pleading tone.

Gui Xiaoqian snorted silently, and a layer of black gas suddenly flashed on her beautiful face, and then disappeared again.

"Okay, as you said, what should I do?"

"Go find that Jiajia, I need one thing from her. ”

"Jiajia, the orphan, what do you want from her?" Gui Xiaoqian said in surprise.

"I told you that our love spell requires a powerful magic weapon, and the only magic weapon that exists in this world is in that orphanage. ”

"But ......"

"I know that when the circle was destroyed, I had thoroughly inspected the orphanage, and the artifact was not there. So, I suspect that the magic weapon is on Jiajia's body. ”

Gui Xiaoqian said in confusion: "Okay, even if you suspect that a five-year-old girl has a magic weapon hidden on her body, but you ask me to find it, at least tell me what kind of magic weapon it is, or ...... it."

"How do I know!!!" the voice said suddenly, angrily.

Gui Xiaoqian was startled, and a tremor suddenly broke out all over her body, she knew that it was from fear. She lowered her head and secretly pinched her palm, don't be afraid, it's just a witch, but it's a ......

This witch's name is Lilith.

"I'm sorry, dear, I'm just a little stressed, I've had too much lately, and my assistants aren't worrying......," the voice softened.

The witch's kind and kind tone reminded Gui Xiaoqian of the first time she met her.

At that time, she was wearing a gorgeous gypsy dress, and stood there like a graceful queen. Her figure was so beautiful that Gui Xiaoqian immediately felt jealous, although she was wearing a veil decorated with rhinestones, and she couldn't see her face behind her, but Gui Xiaoqian believed that behind it must be a face that captivated the country and the city.

"Honey, I'm Lilith. She took Gui Xiaoqian's hand and enthusiastically introduced herself to her. Her voice is soft and beautiful, as if it were magical. She was like a skilled salesman, but Gui Xiaoqian, who was just risking the mentality of giving it a try, involuntarily signed a contract with her, and paid all the property she could take out at that time.

No, not just all of them at that time, Gui Xiaoqian remembered that there were some small clauses printed in flowers at the end of those contracts, which seemed to involve some things in the future.

But she doesn't care, as long as she can get what she wants, she doesn't care about what she gives.

"How do I find it?" she asked softly, bowing her head, "If you find this artifact, will you be able to cast a love spell?"

"Something else is needed. I told you, this spell is troublesome. Even God cannot make a person fall in love with another without breaking the rules. ”

"What exactly are the rules?"

"Hehe, dear, rules are everything that restricts this world, it maintains the balance of this world, it is omnipotent, and it is everywhere. And if we're going to cast the love spell, we have to break the rules. ”

"Okay, just do as you say. Gui Xiaoqian muttered, "As long as you can do it, I will listen to you." ”

"Of course, dear, I am the most powerful, the only ......," the witch smiled pleasantly, "Listen, dear, you go and approach Jiajia and see if there is anything special on her, or on her belongings." ”

"Special? What do you mean?"

"It's hard to say, that magic weapon is left over from the last century of gods and demons, and those bastards don't know how many complicated spells they cast on it in order to hide it, how do I know what it will become now? It could be a necklace, or it could be an amulet, maybe it was just a stone. Who knows, but if it's something that Jiajia never leaves, you have to check it out. ”

"But I ......" Gui Xiaoqian frowned, "Last time I showed my ability to the high dive, I think, he probably, for the time being, ......"

"No, my dear, on the contrary, although your last act of will was not in my plan, it worked well. The man you love is a child of God's blood, and it is in his nature to protect humanity. As long as you're human, he won't treat you badly. What's more, when he knows that alienating you may cause harm to the human world, he may be doubly good to you. ”

"However, I don't want such a good, it's not sincere, I want him to really love me, and I'm willing to give everything for this. ”

"Of course, of course, isn't that what we've worked so hard to plan? He will, my dear, I promise. ”

"Well, I believe in you. Gui Xiaoqian turned away with a blank face, "However, you also have to remember." I'm not one of those ignorant and stupid women in your club. Once I find out you're lying to me, I'll let you know who's the strongest!"

"Of course, I know, dear, of course. The witch chuckled.

Gui Xiaoqian let out a long sigh of relief and walked out the door.

But at this moment, the witch stopped her: "Wait, someone is coming." ”

Gui Xiaoqian turned around in surprise: "Who? here, is it coming to you?"

"I don't know how he found me, but he's hard to mess with. When you hide, you hide in the inner room, and remember not to make a sound. The witch's voice carried a rare panic, Gui Xiaoqian didn't say more, she lifted the curtain and entered the curtain.

She was surprised to see another room.
