Chapter 8: The Gray Witch's Flag
Zhou Shu has lived for 24 years and has never done anything bad. I didn't expect that the first time I broke the law, I did this murderous act.
The giant tree that the perched phoenix wood turned into is still burning, and it has already attracted a fire alarm. The witch shook off the dust of her robe, stepped on a broom and flew to Zhou Shu to salute him solemnly.
Zhou Shu didn't take lightly the guy who was still wearing a heavy black trench coat and a mage hat in front of him in the big summer. When he saw the other man coming, he immediately gathered the harriers around him and stood in the sunlight away from the shadows.
Seeing that Zhou Shu was so defensive of herself, the witch didn't care, she just said to herself: "If that immortal cultivator just now had a little better brain, standing in the firelight, maybe he wouldn't be illuminated by the shadow of the bird." β
Zhou Shu also thought so, but he didn't say anything. He wanted to run away now more than chatting. He had already seen that many people in the nearby residential buildings were wearing video equipment, and they had watched the whole time in the fight between the gods.
The witch doesn't care about this, anyway, no matter how you get it, the headache is on the side of the Chinese government, so let the officials cover it up. She is very optimistic about the ability of this centralized organization, and does not think that the other party will let this matter spread. What interested her even more was that the wizard in front of her was obviously a wizard who majored in summoning skills, and just after a few casual glances, she found that there were many things worth studying about him.
"Hello, sir. Nice to meet you, my name is the Gray Witch. I feel that your magic power is huge, what should I call you?" The woman who called herself the Gray Witch stretched out her left hand as if she wanted to shake hands, but his gaze kept falling on the ring on Zhou Shu's finger. It's the ring that Uncle Wang gave him.
Zhou Shu had just seen the methods of this gray witch, as well as the immortal cultivator in the shadow of his tragic death. It was noon, and there was only a little shadow. However, he knew very well that as soon as he shook hands, he would immediately enter the shadow caused by the other party's arm.
Seeing that the other party was so scared, the gray witch smiled and said, "You don't need to mention releasing my shadow." I was able to manipulate the shadow because I had a shadow demon lodged in my head. But because of the energy overdraft, it has been exhausted to death, just now. β
Although the gray witch said this, how could Zhou Shu believe it lightly, so he still looked vigilant. The sound of the fire truck was already very close, and Zhou Shu now had the urge to beat the girl in front of him. Although he killed the enemy who killed his friend, but today he caused such a big battle and was watched by so many people, and it was difficult to restore the life of ordinary people in the future. If you don't do it, you will be arrested by the police and thrown to the real room for autopsy. If that immortal cultivator had a relative or friend or something, he would probably come to find trouble for himself.
Lao Tzu just got the golden finger, and he only had a good time, and he did so many things. Endless buttocks.
The Gray Witch still didn't give up communicating with Zhou Shu. "You're going to help me kill that immortal cultivator because a friend was killed by him by mistake, right? Maybe I have a way to resurrect your friend. β
Resurrection? Zhou Shu jumped when he heard this. He turned his gaze to the Grey Witch's face, which was half obscured by his hat, and figured out GuΓ²'s expression to see if it was a trap.
"You are also my savior. How could I harm you? That immortal cultivator came to attack me at noon, when the shadow was at least, and if it weren't for your help, I'm afraid I would have confessed my life today. So, trust me. β
Zhou Shu didn't listen to what the gray witch said. What he was thinking about now was not whether the words of the Gray Witch were true or false, but how to convince his conscience to give up the chance to resurrect his old friend and get out of it.
As a result, he couldn't convince himself that if he didn't go with the gray witch now, he felt guilty for a long time.
Helplessly, Zhou Shu waved his hand to collect the harriers all over the ground, and said to the gray witch: "My name is Zhou Shu." I'll go with you. β
In this way, the two of them swaggered away from the still violently burning Qi Fengmu and disappeared into the alley almost when the surrounding buildings were full of onlookers.
The Gray Witch's home is a second-floor bookstore in the heart of the city. Privately opening a bookstore is relatively rare in China, where the whole people do not read. Instead, they rented bookstores that relied on the school to eat students' meals, and by the way, they sold textbooks and stationery.
The bookstore staff only had a handsome middle-aged foreigner with red hair, and when he saw the gray witch coming over, he said hello in Russian very heartily, but the gray witch heartily ignored him. Behind the first floor of the bookstore, there is a living area with a toilet, a bedroom and a living room, but there is no life at all. The living room is full of old Western-style items, and there is no place to put your feet down. These things look very suitable for a European-style castle, full of mystery and a sense of the times.
Just when Zhou Shu wanted to get closer and admire it, the gray witch suddenly rushed out and pushed him away from the pile. Zhou Shu vaguely noticed that the face and ears of the witch under the hat seemed to be shy. In this regard, he understood that the other party was embarrassed to let himself see such a messy living room.
The ghost appearance of the living room is obviously unable to entertain guests, so the gray witch led Zhou Shu to her room.
Zhou Shu entered the girl's room for the first time, "It's really unexpected." He didn't expect a gray witch's room to be arranged like this.
The room is very small, and the decoration and interior are as general as Zhou Shu sighed, from the wallpaper to the small carpet, even the sheets, curtains, and laptops are pink. The vanity mirror was adorned with ribbons, and under it were a large number of cosmetics whose names were unknown, as well as two jars of star candy.
As soon as the gray witch entered the room, she sat on the bed covered with pink sheets, and gave the pink single sofa to the guest Zhou Shu.
"You should change your name to the Pink Witch. Zhou Shu was a little dazzled by the room, and bluntly criticized the taste of the owner here.
"No way, the name is given by someone else, and not many people enter my room. The Grey Witch took off her hat and heavy cloak, revealing a short T-shirt, hot pants, and a young face of fifteen years old at most.
"Otherwise, when it's just you and me, you'll call me the Pink Witch, right?"
The Grey Witch spoke, sorting out her hot pants. She put two fingers into her pants, as if adjusting the position of her panties, and then used one finger to draw circles under her bare navel, creating a very explicit peach atmosphere in the room.
Zhou Shu didn't have the mood to talk nonsense with the Gray Witch. He had just died of his girlfriend and an old friend he had been away from for many years, and he was in a terrible mood. It's worse than a primary school student who scored 0 points in the test and was robbed of money by a senior classmate on the way home with a test paper, and when he got home, he found that his mother was sleeping with a man he didn't know.
The Grey Witch tied her red curls into a long ponytail behind her head, and deliberately raised her arms forward to squeeze her chest as she did so. If it weren't for the fact that Zhou Shu had just lost his virginity, he would have been desperate for his summoned girlfriend, and I am afraid that he would have been confused.
The Grey Witch dressed as a heavy black mage was not as unafraid of the heat as she looked, her small T-shirt was translucent from sweat, and she didn't seem to be wearing underwear yet. To beat the heat, she turned on the air conditioner, took out two boxes of strawberry-flavored ice cream from the mini-fridge, and handed one to the guests.
You're enough, right......
Zhou Shu is a little girl who can't stand this lust, and at this moment, he doesn't think that the other party's statement that he can resurrect his friend is true.
Seeing that Zhou Shu's expression didn't look like she had a lust for herself, the gray witch gave up seducing her in frustration. As a witch, seducing men is almost instinctive for her. However, she often walks by the river, and occasionally fails a few times, and she doesn't pay much attention to it.
Generally speaking, as long as the gray witch seduces a man, then the final fate of this man is no different from the little director who was reported by the second grandmother. Zhou Shu relied on the charm of Ula Mystery to escape the catastrophe.
"Alright, no more fuss. The gray witch suddenly sat upright and asked Zhou Shu a serious question: "I obviously don't understand Chinese, but I can understand your words...... How did you do that?"
"Didn't you make it up?" Zhou Shu had seen Uncle Wang show this hand before, and he was not surprised to see it again today, and thought it was ordinary magic or something.
The Gray Witch looked at the man in front of her in surprise and exclaimed, "How is that possible?"
Zhou Shu said: "I met a master two days ago, maybe he did it. I haven't studied Russian, so it's strange that I can understand what you're saying. β
"Superior?"
Zhou Shu nodded, but he didn't really want to mention that person, Uncle Wang's image was really insulting to the word 'master'. So he interrupted and asked why the Gray Witch was hunted down by a Taoist priest.
"You ask this?" the Grey Witch sighed. "Some private matters, nothing to say. But you ......" The Grey Witch seemed to say something, her eyes wandering around, not knowing where to look.
"Me, what's wrong with me?"
"Uh......" The gray witch suddenly sat on the edge of the bed very ladylikely, her two thumbs around like a shy big girl. "Okay!" she said to Zhou Shu as if she had suddenly made up her mind: "It's polite for Chinese to report to the house before asking others about things, right?
Zhou Shu really wanted to tell the other party that this politeness generally only appears in movies and novels, and it does not apply to the current situation. He wanted the Grey Witch to talk about the 'resurrection', but out of politeness, he didn't mean to interrupt the lady. But as soon as the gray witch spoke, she immediately challenged Zhou Shu's values.
She said, "As a magician, you probably saw that my family is very poor. My workshop is full of old items from a hundred years ago, and some from three to five hundred years ago, and there are almost no new magic items. Everyone is using magic software attached to their phones to fly, only I am still wearing my grandmother's clothes, riding her broomstick, and even such an important thing as a magic extractor is a Dutch product from 300 years ago, and it looks like a home-made jewelry box......"
No, no, no, I'm not a magician. And what are you talking about? Why do I think your current love is the same as when I was a child and complained to my mother, 'Everyone else is playing PS2, only I'm still using the red and white machine'?
In order to continue the topic, Zhou Shu hurriedly said that he was not a magician. At the same time, for his own safety, he pretended to be mysterious and said: "What I use is actually a very mysterious power, you don't understand." β
"Eh, is that so?" the Grey Witch was shocked, and after thinking for a while, she suddenly said, "Are you saying that you don't belong to our Western magic system, but some kind of method of using magic created by you Easterners, right?"
"Uh...... You summed it up well. Zhou Shu is very glad that she can think independently and does not need to think about lies by herself.
"You're really good. I've never heard of such a powerful summoning technique. The European Magical Energy Organization's Magic Collider couldn't create so many animals at once and still obey commands. Sure enough, I didn't go to Africa, but came to the East!"
Although Zhou Shu is a liberal arts student, he has not even heard of the European Atomic Energy Organization and their famous Large Hadron Collider. Listening to the Gray Witch's rhetoric at this moment, it seems that the European wizarding world also has something similar to the scientific world, is this considered symmetrical aesthetics?
"So the wizarding world is so depraved that you can't do anything without machines. Obviously, there are still methods in the East like immortal cultivators and you, who can become very strong by relying only on their own magic power, but they don't study it at all. Big companies also have a moral character, they only know how to launch new products to earn magic power, and constantly update and renew them! How can I afford to buy them so expensive? Can't I produce some low-end products like mobile phone companies in the scientific world? I can only buy second-hand goods! It's all the fault of the monopoly of magic patents! It's all the fault of the government!"
Zhou Shu listened to it with black lines all over his head, and he didn't know how to comfort this witch with great resentment. He felt like he was listening to the confession of a high school student who had gone astray by selling his kidney because he was competing with his classmates to see who owned more apples.
Looking back now, Zhou Shu felt that the Gray Witch's previous teasing seemed to treat herself as a big money. This made him cry and laugh after being a ** silk for more than 20 years.
The Gray Witch thought about it for a while before she finished venting and returning to the main topic.
"Anyway, my family is very poor. Although we are from a magical family, my brother and I both have very little magic in total. I've been trying to improve, but at most it's less than one percent of what you look like, if that's right. My mana extractor also has a high attrition rate, and although I save the mana saved every day, most of it is wasted. I managed to save up a few years of magic power to buy a shadow demon, and now it's still ...... In short, it was because I was poor that I was looked down upon by those eldest ladies in the magic academy of my motherland, and I was found in trouble, bullied, and kicked out. You can understand what I mean, don't you?
Zhou Shu, who was listening to all kinds of helplessness on the sidelines, said "understand". This is really a problem for high school students. The sense of oppression and mystery that the Gray Witch gave to Zhou Shu when she used her shadow to kill people before was completely gone.
Through guΓ²'s description of the Grey Witch, Zhou Shu understood that it seemed that in her magical world, the universal currency was magic, and that a thing called a magic extractor was taken out of the human body and stored. The upper limit of the Grey Witch's magic power seems to be one percent of herself, that is, less than 100, which seems to be a relatively low level of paupers in their circle, so it is no wonder that the Book of Summons prefixes her as 'ordinary'. And the shadow she manipulated when she fought with Lao Dao before, it was actually bought with money? This made Zhou Shu a little unimaginable.
Wait? Can this ** silk witch really resurrect Wang Hongfei? On this question, Zhou Shu asked.
The Grey Witch smiled and nodded in the affirmative, "Resurrection is no problem, but you have to promise me one condition." β
"Am I not your savior? "And when you talked to me just now, you have been using 'you', like Cui Jian, why has it become 'you' now?
"Because I'm a witch!" the gray witch approached Zhou Shu with inexplicable words, and suddenly grabbed one of his hands.
Although Zhou Shu said that he followed him to the base camp of a ruthless witch who dared to kill, it did not mean that he had lost his vigilance against the woman in front of him. At this moment, he saw that the other party suddenly made physical contact with him, and immediately called for the Book of Summoning, preparing to summon him dozens of big dogs to fill this pink Xiao room first. But the gray witch grabbed Zhou Shu's hand and did not make any malicious moves, but raised his hand in front of her eyes, and put stars in her eyes at the magic ring on her ring finger.
Zhou Shu vaguely remembered which finger he wore the ring, which should represent some meaning related to marriage, but he didn't have this knowledge. I don't know what to use this magic ring that Uncle Wang gave him, and after he got it, he casually found a finger and put it on.
It's no wonder that Zhou Shu suddenly thought of this, and at this moment the gray witch was putting on an expression of supreme joy. It's like discovering that your long-time crush is wearing a toy ring from school on a finger that represents 'unmarried'.
"Mr. Zhou, please lend me this ring!"
"Why? What do you want it for?"
The witch shook her head, "No, I just want to know what it does." I was curious, I felt a strange flow of magic on it, very delicate. Mr. Zhou, what is it for?"
"I don't know if you ask me...... Someone else gave it, and the person left without explaining how to use it. β
What the hell is this ring for? Zhou Shu shook off the gray witch who was holding his hand, and while looking at the ring on his hand, he recalled the scene when the Heavenly King gave him this thing the day before.
As he was in the midst of a shock about his father's background and a series of strange things, he didn't pay much attention to the topic of the ring on his hand. As for the scene at that time, I was a little forgotten at the moment, but I vaguely remembered that this ring seemed to be able to be used for traversal.
But why did Uncle Wang give me such a ring for crossing?
"Did the 'master' send it too?" asked the Grey Witch.
"Well, that's him. I know it's a bit like I'm prevaricating you, but it's true. β
The Grey Witch nodded, "Then I'll solve its mystery, right?"
"Are you that interested in this thing?"
"And rightfully so. Such a peculiar flow of magic power, emitting magic power is still absorbing at the same time, and absorbing much more than divergence is simply a perpetual motion machine, how did you do it? Mr. Zhou, don't you be curious when you see a perpetual motion machine? β
The gray witch seemed to have a hard time suppressing her excited expression at the moment, and she stared at Zhou Shu's hand like a senior pervert without hesitation.
Sorry, not curious, because I'm a liberal arts student.
"Otherwise, I'll trade something for you! β
In Zhou Shu's mental work, the gray witch took the initiative to increase her bargaining chips.
The witch wants to give me something? There have been so many people who have given me things lately. But do you have anything to do with your female ** silk?
As for lending the ring to see it, Zhou Shu is completely acceptable, even if it is given to the gray witch, it doesn't matter to him. He didn't care about the ring at all, but thought it was a nuisance. Zhou Shu's current thinking is that since he has the Book of Summoning, he may be able to live a very good life in this world in the future, so why do you want to keep a ring by your side that you don't know when you will cross yourself?
He happily agreed to the Gray Witch's request. After hearing this, the former immediately rushed out of the door, rummaged through the pile of debris full of the sense of the times, and left Zhou Shu alone in this pink room and sat uncomfortably.
Soon, the Grey Witch came in with a small red box that could be found everywhere in the gold store, and when she opened it, she saw that it contained a very exotic ring!
"Another ring?" Zhou Shu black line. And the one in front of me is obviously much uglier than the one in my hand. Although the Lord of the Rings is not very pretty, others will think that the person wearing it is a veteran movie lover. But the one that the Gray Witch is dragging at the moment looks like the ring in Arabic mythology where a fairy will appear and say 'mayihelpuser?' when you wipe it.
The Gray Demon Queen leaned down like a child and displayed the ring in the box in front of Zhou Shu. Zhou Shu sat in the small pink sofa and couldn't cry or laugh, outsiders would probably think that the woman in front of him was proposing to him when they saw this meeting.
"It's just Abdullah's Ring, which adds tenfold strength to the person who wears it, as well as the amount of food. The gray witch took out the ring like a treasure and put it on her little finger for Zhou Shu. "This thing gives people more strength and at the same time burns calories in the body and accelerates metabolism. I bought it to lose weight, but soon after that, I was met by a good doctor and I couldn't gain weight after an operation. β
The Gray Witch looked at Zhou Shu with an expression of 'you can also use it to lose weight'. Zhou Shu didn't know what to say, so he quickly took off his magic ring and threw it to the gray witch, so happy that she rushed out of the door and plunged into her waste heap.
Abdullah's Ring?
Zhou Shu could feel a strange heat spreading from his thumb to his limbs with this ring. In order to test the effect of the 'increased strength' that the Gray Witch just said, Zhou Shu took out the library key hanging around his neck. What he wanted was a chain on top. In order to protect the safety of the key, Zhou Shu tied many chains to the top. Now they have become victims of testing strength, and one of them was torn off by Zhou Shu very lightly.
Sure enough, it worked.
Without waiting for Zhou Shu to test again, the Gray Witch came in with an old gramophone. Zhou Shu heard that this power ring seemed to be easy to starve to death if he wore it too much, so he took it into his pocket. Then he looked at what the witch had brought and asked, "What is this? Don't tell me that I'm a gramophone." β
"Deconstruct the device!" the Grey Witch seemed to be in a good mood. "This thing can find out the purpose of unknown magic items!"
"That's ......"
Zhou Shu didn't care about the witch and let her toss in the room. If she was really just curious, it would be a good thing that he would know how to use the ring when he researched it. Although he thought so, it took the gray witch more than an hour to tinker with it, and there was no sign of starting the machine.
I said...... Aren't you alright?"
"Please wait. The Grey Witch looked apologetic, "This thing is a bit old, and it's a bit of a hassle to use." To use an analogy, it's like an old car that doesn't catch fire. β
"You don't need to be so aptly compared...... "It makes me feel like you're living a very hard life."
Out of boredom, Zhou Shu began to check the summons in the Book of Summons. I've been very busy since I got this book, and I don't have much time to read it properly.
A second before the rotisserie collapsed, the Book of Summons automatically shielded him, summoning a naked man to kick him in the chest and kick him to safety. Zhou Shu has just found this blind monk-like guy, the prefix is "powerful", and it takes 1000 points to summon it.
This guy didn't actually die, he was summoned by Cui Jian without authorization and kicked that kick before he was summoned back.
I didn't expect to find so many unique summons after a few random searches. Zhou Shuzheng sighed, and suddenly remembered that when the gray witch was complaining, she seemed to mention that she had an older brother who was also a magician. It reminded him of the handsome guy sitting at the bookstore bar who greeted the Gray Witch but was ignored.
Is that her brother? So he's also a magician? Zhou Shu threw it over and got the answer immediately.
Both the Immortal Cultivator and the Grey Witch are registered in the Book of Summons as 'Magical Intelligence Summons', and the Grey Witch is also listed in a new entry called 'Slavic Race'. After the search just now, a new member has been added to both the Slavic race and the magical intelligence summon, which is the guy standing at the bookstore bar, with the prefix 'ordinary adult wizard', and the cost of 110,000 points.
It seems that it is really the brother of the Gray Witch. But it takes 180,000 points to summon the Gray Witch, and my brother is only 110,000, so it's too unmajestic, right?
The gray witch, whose brother was looked down upon by Zhou Shu, suddenly let out a long breath on the side. She had just finished the gramophone-like machine, and at this moment, a ball of light appeared in the place where the machine seemed to need to play the record.
The Gray Witch called Zhou Shu to watch like a treasure, "I'll put your ring in the light of analysis in a while, and I will soon be able to connect to the number of jΓΉ libraries and analyze the way its magic power is composed." β
I don't understand. "Is it dangerous?"
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhou, this thing will occasionally forcibly activate the detected magic props, but the chance is only one in a thousand. Peace of mind, peace of mind. β
The Grey Witch said as she placed the ring in the ball of light. Then he heard a dense crackling sound, and Zhou Shu followed him and fell unconscious.
