Chapter VII Charges Imposed
Based on real events
The moment the feathers on her wings fully grow, her "contract" with the Book of Demons is completed. At this time, a sharp and lengthy siren sounded, followed by the sound of the announcement:
"Attention all Demon Hunters, please note that a new 'Demon' has been born, in order to reduce losses, please reorganize your equipment, do your best to catch the 'Demon' and hand it over to the management team, which will block all roads out of the city so that you can better perform your mission."
"Oh? It's been so long, and these admins still like to leave the trouble to others as always. The book spirit's gaze looked into the distance, "But don't worry, my power is enough for you to subvert all the witchers in Castlevania." ”
As she said this, Chu Wan gradually felt that she could not get drenched in the rain, and when her eyes moved up, she found that a protective shield had been set up around her and the book spirit, and there were already demon hunters outside, and they were attacking the protective shield with weapons, as if they were still shouting something, but Chu Wan couldn't hear it.
Shu Ling put his hand in his sleeve and said, "You don't have to worry about anything, I will isolate you from everything that will hinder you, you just need to write the name of the person you hate on this book, so that everyone's memory of this person will disappear" After Shu Ling finished speaking, he handed her the pen, and Chu Wan took it after a slight stunned moment.
The pen is exquisitely crafted, and if you look closely, the tip of the pen looks like a fountain pen, but the tail is in the shape of a quill, and it is embellished with cobalt blue gemstones, which will shine even on rainy days.
Just write your name...... Can you make this person disappear into the world? So...... If everyone forgets the memories related to the piano and the wind, will everything about them come back?
Thinking like this, Chu Wan hesitated to look at the book spirit, and finally picked up the pen and came to the Demon Book, the yellowed pages of the book slowly turned, and several of them were full of people's names. Finally, when the Book of Demons finally freezes on a blank page, Chu Wan has a chance to read the handwriting of these names clearly.
There are many kinds of handwriting, at first glance they are written by different people, some are dignified and elegant, some are written like ants crawling, but these handwriting seems to be twisted together in a strange way, as if not a word is screaming, roaring, and finally confined to madness. Some of the handwriting that seemed to belong to the same person became more and more distorted, and the strokes became more and more bizarre, and when the handwriting was finally changed, it was as hideous as blood flowing down.
Chu Wan hesitated. People who use this book...... and those who have disappeared...... Will you feel pain from this book at the same time? Only then did she notice that she never seemed to have paid attention to what method the Demon Book would use to make those people "disappear", nor did she think about where the original use of the Demon Book had gone, and she had an idea in her head that told her that she must not use this pen, but if she didn't use this way to make Qin Yufeng disappear, she felt unwilling.
"What's wrong with you?" Shuling seemed to notice her abnormality, and leaned down a little, "Could it be that you have temporarily softened your heart?" I don't like to have someone like that in my hands. ”
Chu swallowed his saliva, and then the tip of the pen kept moving closer to the page, but the pen snapped off a second before the pen touched the page.
"What?" The book spirit felt incredible at first, and then as if something had been pulled away from her, she let out a ghostly cry like a wolf howl, and slowly turned from the beautiful book spirit that could embody Chu Wan's inner desire into a cloud of black mist, and then wailed into the book, and the protective shield around Chu Wan began to fall.
Chu Wan thought that he had broken the pen in public, and everyone would change their opinion of her, but he didn't.
"Catch her! This damn shield, she probably didn't know how many people had disappeared with that thing just now! A red-haired man in an irregularly cut suit shouted, with a flower-like mark on his body in addition to the phoenix crown logo.
Chu Wan didn't have time to take a closer look at what he looked like, a group of demon hunters around him pounced on him in close combat, and those who fought far away directly attacked, she knew that she couldn't fight against so many people, so she teleported away with the Demon Book in her arms.
She ran all the way, although she didn't know why she ran away because of these unplanned pursuits, but she still ran to the place where no one usually set foot, and she wanted to hide here, but she didn't expect the team of witchers to chase and kill her, so she had to start running aimlessly again.
With more and more people chasing her, she needs to deal with all kinds of flying arrows, spells, and swords, guns, and halberds that suddenly slash from front or above while she escapes. The thorns on the side of the road scratched her clothes, and her right eye was pierced by a sword, and she fell several times on the road, and her head was broken and she stumbled to the edge of a cliff.
She didn't have the strength to deal with such a group of people, and now that she was cornered, she couldn't fly past here, because those wings looked like ornaments, and they didn't seem to be of much use except Shen.
As if knowing that she had no way out, the demon hunter's tired face had a smug look.
"Chu Wang, hand over the Demon Book, we may be able to intercede for you, and we will be dealt with lightly." The man in the irregular suit stepped out of the crowd and spread his hands to say that he looked injured as well.
Look at him carefully, he is tall, with slightly curly hair, a pair of thin eyebrows, a pair of hanging eyes that no one seems to be able to fit, a mouthful of shark teeth, a very strange lipstick on his mouth, and his face is a little unman or female, and that strange tone always makes Chu Wan want to beat him.
Chu Wan only felt funny when he heard his words, once the witcher became a user of the Demon Book, he would only have to be imprisoned for life, so how could he be dealt with lightly? Even if she is lightly haircut, will her reputation be good?
It suddenly occurred to Chu Wan that the Demon Hunters were immortal, and it was better to jump from here than to fall into their hands.
So she took a step back and fell off the cliff on her back. Unexpectedly, a large net had already been laid under the cliff, and by the time she noticed this, she was about to fall into the net.
She looked back at the people on the cliff and saw that they all had a slight sneer on their faces.
"It's stupid"
She heard someone laughing on the cliff.
Originally...... Didn't you have any hope of hiding from the hunt when you came into contact with this book for a long time?
At this point, it seems that it is impossible for him to escape the fate of being caught.
She closed her eyes and let herself fall, and suddenly she felt a strong sense of flight, her wings seemed to flutter violently, and when she opened her eyes, she was flying above the cliff under everyone's astonished gaze.
"Huh?" Chu Wan himself was also very confused.
So this thing isn't an ornament?
The others also seemed to be incredulous about this, and it seemed that someone looked at her with that look of surprise, and muttered something in their mouths, which Chu Wan didn't hear clearly, but maybe it wasn't a good thing.
However, they quickly adjusted from their surprise and looked much more serious. A few of them knew how to shoot arrows and spells, and they concentrated their attacks on her wings, but she dodged them all as long as she dodged and retracted, and it was not a difficult task to fly in the air to fend off these attacks from low places. She was about to fly away triumphantly, when she suddenly heard a string sound, and the left wing was hit by an arrow, followed by another string sound, and the right wing also suffered from severe pain due to the arrow, and she couldn't help but fall down, and the Demon Book also fell into the net.
I didn't expect this thing to feel pain...... Is it a part of yourself?
Thinking like this, she looked at the direction of archery in a daze, originally a little surprised by this person's archery skills, but the moment she saw who it was, she felt disheartened.
She saw that the goose was silently lowering the bow in her hand.
The moment she fell into the net, the net was retracted and tied to her like a rope, so that she could not touch the Demon Book, and cheers rang out from above the cliff.
"Well done, geese! Hahahahaha"
It seemed to be the sound of the piano and the wind, and she felt very uncomfortable.
This net imprisoned her, and also imprisoned her strength, she couldn't break free without a magic weapon, so she was sent into a cage with the same effect, like a caged bird being watched in front of the administrator, the goose was next to the cage, following Qin Yufeng and his party, not talking or laughing along the way, Chu Wan felt that he had lost most of his previous demeanor.
Chu Wan always wanted to say something to him, but felt that in her current state she was not suitable to say anything, until the neck lock with "1187" was fastened around her neck by the administrator, and she just watched the goose quietly.
Yanzi looked at the neck lock around her neck, didn't say a word, just turned away silently, Chu Wan wanted to hold him, but he slapped her hand away.
Chu Wan looked at his face, feeling a little lost, and when she wanted to open her mouth, she felt that she was slowly pushed to the high platform by the administrator, and finally found that everyone in the audience was looking at her.
The caretaker pulled her out of the cage, roughly tied her to a stake, threw something at her, threw the Demon Book under her feet, threw a few pieces of wood, and finally threw the fire onto the first book.
The flames spread all over Chu Wan's body in an instant, and she screamed and struggled, but to no avail.
She tried to beg for mercy, but no one paid attention to her, and everyone looked at her as if they were laughing and laughing.
She was the only one who struggled in pain and asked for help, but in the end it seemed to be all burned by the flames.
The flames not only burned her skin, but also seemed to burn her spirit, and some of her cognitions seemed to be burned by the fire, and she had to admit that she saw the ugliest thing in the world in the flames, whether light or dark—that is, human nature.
