Chapter 15: Light in the Darkness

Based on real events.

"After that, I hid in my current residence to avoid being pursued, because it wasn't often visited. I don't usually go to the city, and I don't have any more contact with those people. Maybe it's a taboo, but no one else wants to be friends with me, who has been in prison. Chu Wan said.

Ming Xin clenched his fists as if he was a little sad and angry, and his brows furrowed slightly, but then he eased up and looked at Chu Wan worriedly: "The erosion of Ling Chi and the Demon Book will hurt a lot, how did you survive yourself?" ”

Chu Wan subconsciously looked down at his cuffs, confirmed that no Ling Chi's scars were exposed, and then raised his head and said, "Actually, I can't hold on, I always want to seek death." The power of the Book of Demons is especially torturous on every full moon night, and I have nothing I can do to alleviate it, I tried everything I can to die, but you know the witcher...... There is no way to die except to grow old, not even to be burned to ashes by fire. ”

A hint of sympathy suddenly appeared on Mingxin's face: "Will the erosion of the Demon Book make you die?" You said earlier that everyone who used the Book of Demons has been corrupted. ”

"Yes, but it's not actually death." "As far as I know, people who have been sucked into the Book of Demons will endure pain in the Book until someone gets the approval of the Book of Demons and releases them. And the source of the dark power of the Book of Demons...... I'm afraid it's the anger and pain of these people. ”

Mingxin's eyes widened, his eyes were red, and he looked like he was about to cry: "Then do you know if there is any way to get its approval?" ”

β€œοΌŸβ€ Chu Wan looked Mingxin up and down, and suddenly smiled, "What's the matter, are you afraid that I will die?" ”

Mingxin nodded slightly, and then looked at Chu Wan with a worried face: "Aren't you afraid?" That would be painful, wouldn't it? ”

"Who knows, maybe it's a good thing I'm dead." Chu Wan shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands to the side, as if this matter had nothing to do with her at all, "For myself, it is painful to be alive and painful to die, in short, there is no difference, for others, maybe I will have to go to the celebration banquet when I die." ”

After Chu Wan finished speaking, she glanced at Mingxin's tears and saw Mingxin's tears coming out of her eyes, she was a little panicked all of a sudden, and tentatively stretched out her hand to wipe away Mingxin's tears.

Why is she crying? Obviously, I told these things as a joke.

"Hey, don't cry." Chu Wan said, bent down a little, and looked at her closely, "Don't worry, it's still a long time before I will be eroded to death, and I can still accompany you for so long as I die of normal old age." ”

But Chu Wan knew that she didn't have that much time, and she might not survive this winter.

Mingxin looked much happier, and said, "That's good, but Chu Wan, can I ask you to close your eyes first?" ”

Chu Wan didn't know what she was going to do, but he felt that Mingxin was credible, so he closed his eyes.

Soon after, Chu Wan smelled a strong fragrance of flowers, and when Mingxin opened her eyes again, she was surprised to find that a sea of flowers had appeared under her feet, and the petals were flying in the wind, and Mingxin's magic book was flipping, and there seemed to be golden light gushing out of it.

"Oh my God, I've never seen a witcher's magic do that." Chu Wan was a little surprised, a little moved, she hadn't seen this kind of scenery for a long time, and everything that appeared now, whether it was Mingxin or the sea of flowers, had become the most beautiful thing in her heart.

At this time, a faint light appeared in the skyβ€”it turned out that she and Mingxin had been together all night. Under that glimmer of light, Mingxin's white gold outfit was like a little sun.

She heard Mingxin humming a song, a tune she had never heard before, it should be the ballad of a distant city-state, but it sounded like the sun rising, like stars falling, there was a hint of sadness, but it was full of hope. The bell on her bracelet rang with the breeze, and each sound seemed to hit Chu Wang's heart very well.

Just as she was immersed in the scenery in front of her, the sea of flowers disappeared, Mingxin's singing stopped, and the thing just now was as if it had never existed, only the bell was still for a while, making a faint jingling sound.

"I'm sorry, but my magic can't sustain these things for long." Mingxin scratched his head a little embarrassed. "Do you like it?"

Chu Wan looked at Mingxin and smiled unconsciously: "I like it." How do you get this spell, can you teach me? ”

"Hmm...... Just keep your peace of mind and think about what to do? Mingxin said, "I don't know why I did this." ”

"I really haven't seen it before, it's amazing, I'll ......try it too," Chu Wan put his staff on the ground and tried to do what Mingxin said, but only black, leafless vines grew underground.

Chu Wan tried a few more times, but the result was still like this, she scratched her head a little puzzled and said, "How could it be......"

"If you want to see it, I know a place, let's go together next spring." Seeing this, Mingxin was afraid that Chu Wan would be frustrated, and said, "It's okay, other people can't learn it, it seems that only I can do this." ”

"Is that so?" Chu Wan seemed to be in a complicated mood, listening to Mingxin's invitation, although she knew that she might not be able to last that time, but her heart ignited a trace of expectation, she said: "Then we have an appointment, you must take me there." ”

Mingxin nodded and said, "But before that, we have to do one thing first." ”

"What's the matter?"

"Gain the approval of the Book of Demons." Mingxin said.

"You care about that?" Chu Wan looked at her, and then at the Demon Book, "But I don't know if there is any way to get its approval, before the book spirit said that her name is 'Wish', I don't know if it is possible to fulfill the wish?" ”

"It's an approach and it's worth trying. So what is your wish? Mingxin asked.

Chu looked at the sky, "uh" and "uh" thought for a long time, and walked around in front of Mingxin: "I don't know, maybe I want those people to be treated the same as me?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Do you have any thoughts on this? Mingxin frowned slightly, as if he was a little dissatisfied with this answer.

"No, it's just relying on public opinion to make them be criticized by the public, but I can't find any public opinion that can make them like that." Chu Wan didn't notice the change in Mingxin and said.

"No, then we'll check."

"How do you check?"

"You know, the witcher has a spell that can change his appearance, and we use that to create a fake identity, and then blend in with the group to find out the news."

Chu Wan spread her wings when she heard this: "Of course I want to get this way, but this thing ...... As I told you, I used to cover it with a cloak and it almost showed it, and sometimes it didn't listen to me at all and would move around. ”

"Uh...... And what about tying it to your back? Mingxin asked.

Chu clasped his hands together, as if he suddenly realized: "Good idea!" I didn't think of that before. Chu Wan smiled, rubbed Mingxin's head and said, "Without further ado, we'll start preparing now, but I'm going to go back first and get a bigger cloak." ”

"Okay, I'll wait for you here." Mingxin said

On the way back, Chu Wan felt the Demon Book in her hand, so she let it open: "What's the matter?" ”

"Didn't you let her use the past to tell her to leave, why are you two okay?" The voice of the Book of Demons seemed to be somewhat dissatisfied.

"As you can see, she reacts differently than others, and it's not a bad thing to have an extra ally." Chu Wan said as he opened the door of the house and placed the Demon Book on the table.

"You know you don't have that much time to punish them in that way, and if you wait for me to regain my strength, you'll be able to do more with less. That won't be long. The Book of Demons flew up from the table in displeasure and leaped in the air in a hurry.

Chu Wan didn't even look at it, found the clothes from the cupboard and said, "I should have greeted you a long time ago, and I will never use your power until the day I disappear." It's unkind to use other people's pain and anger to punish people they don't want to do. Besides, I'm your user, and it's my freedom to use you whenever I want. The Book of Demons seemed to be deflated, and it snapped shut in the air and smashed into Chu Wan's feet.

Fortunately, the shoes she pulled were leather, and the Devil's Book didn't affect her much.

"Really, what a tantrum." Chu Wan bent down to pick up the Demon Book and patted the dust on its body, "What are you anxious about, aren't I not far from the arrival of that day." ”

The Book of Demons was silent for a long time, and Chu Wan threw it on the table again to look for clothes.

Chu Wan took out a black cloak, changed his clothes again, took off his earrings, and put on the cloak again, so as to prevent the stuffing from being exposed. However, she didn't change her face for the time being, and she was afraid that Mingxin would not recognize it.

Chu Wan took the Demon Book and the staff, and went to meet Mingxin, in fact, she thought that Mingxin would take advantage of this time to leave, but when she arrived at the place, she saw that Mingxin was still waiting in place, and her heart was a little more steady.

If it's clear-hearted, maybe you can really believe it.

Thinking so, she quickened her pace to Mingxin.

Seeing her coming, Mingxin walked over to greet her and looked at her now, Chu Wan temporarily took off his cloak, turned around, and motioned for Mingxin to tie his wings to his body.

Mingxin used a spell to tie Chu Wan's wings and helped her put on a cloak: "Is this uncomfortable?" ”

"It's a little, but it doesn't matter, you'll be busy later, I'll inquire about the news." Chu Wan said.

"No need, I'm with you, there's nothing to do today, I'm free all day." Mingxin said, "Don't be too deliberate, let's just go shopping today." ”

"Okay." Chu Wan said as he used a spell to change his appearance, this time it was different from the previous disguised identity, not for a better life, but to break into the inside, so there was no need to keep his original appearance. So her appearance has changed a lot, and she belongs to the kind that her mother can't recognize when she sees it.

When everything was ready, she pulled on her hood and went to the market with Mingxin.
