Free Web NovelOn the dilapidated rooftop, the young girl's long hair resembled a blazing inferno, fluttering in the wind behind her.
She sat cross-legged on the ground in the center of the rooftop, in front of her lay a pile of dark red soil emitting a bloody stench.
Under her fair hands, the dark red soil continuously transformed into various shapes.
Two abnormally distorted creatures, impossible to compare to anything in the world, yet possessing a hint of adorable clumsiness, perched on the young girl's shoulders, watching her manipulate the soil with unblinking eyes, their dozens of large eyes filled with anticipation.
Suddenly, as if sensing something, the young girl looked up at the sky, a slight smile gracing her lips.
The brown haze that had lingered in the sky for a long time had dissipated considerably, and one could even vaguely discern the sky's original blue.
The weather today was excellent, just like the young girl's mood.
"Did that guy finally make up his mind? Much faster than I expected!"
She suddenly recalled a very, very long time ago, when she fled to a place called the Land of Midnight Sunrise.
Everything within sight in that wretched place was nauseating; countless dark green colors spread across the exterior walls of buildings, pulsating like a heartbeat.
It was a city completely corrupted by the Plague Tai Sui, with countless bizarre symbols wriggling on the ground, and poisonous spores like bubbles floating in the air.
Monsters, no longer distinguishable as human, shuffled through the streets, going to school, going to work, doing everything they would have done when they were human; they didn't even know that they, along with their city, had been dragged into the abyss by the Plague Tai Sui.
However, from their perspective, they might have felt they were still alive, and everything was as usual...
Looking at such a scene, she, like Lu Yibei now, fell into an difficult dilemma.
But unlike Lu Yibei, who made her choice in a few minutes, she hesitated for half a month before finally making up her mind and starting a fire.
That great fire, covering an area of over a hundred kilometers and burning for three days and three nights, turned everything in the Land of Midnight Sunrise into ashes.
Even long afterward, the air in that vicinity was still permeated with the stench of the Plague Tai Sui's charred tissues.
Or perhaps it was a... peculiar fragrance?
Anyway, she thought the smell was very much like roasted cheese.
However, with that experience, she became much more decisive when encountering similar situations, with almost no hesitation.
This kind of thing is like cross-dressing; there's only zero times and countless times, once you get used to it, it's fine.
Pulling her thoughts back from her memories, the young girl looked up at the sky again, a surprised expression suddenly appearing on her face as she clapped her dirt-covered hands and exclaimed, "Oh my! She really attacked that bastard, didn't she?"
Seeing Lu Yibei use her Charm ability to attack Shen Baiwei, she was very happy, feeling an inexplicable thrill, like her own trained Pokémon dominating a world-class competition.
"That's right, Disaster, quickly use Charm ability at 100% maximum energy output! Surprise her, so she doesn't get a chance to be disgusting!"
The best way to deal with a Nightmare is definitely not by repeatedly defeating her with overwhelming destructive power; although that can cause some minor damage to her, if the Spiritual Energy is similar, it would take at least a hundred years to wear down a Nightmare with such meager damage.
In fact, if the young girl had not mastered the Charm ability, which was sufficient to distort perception, she probably wouldn't have been able to kill a Nightmare.
Recalling it now, the scene of her gently caressing the Nightmare's cheek with a bloody hand while whispering in the Nightmare's ear, "So cute! When did you develop the illusion that you had completed time reversal? Can't figure it out, can you?" still makes the young girl feel a tiny bit of excitement.
That could already be considered one of the top twelve famous scenes in her urban legend career.
This is already very high!
Although Lu Yibei's Charm ability is still affected by the Nightmare's time reversal authority, at least she's on the right track, isn't she?
Moreover, this level is more than enough to trigger the Nightmare's authority's self-protection mechanism, the young girl thought.
————
By the time Shen Baiwei realized she had fallen for Disaster's trick, it was too late to resist; soon, her consciousness, under the effect of Disaster's Charm ability, seemed to be crushed into countless fragments, becoming ethereal, no longer able to perceive her surroundings, leaving only countless illusions and basic thinking ability.
"..."
Actually... there's no need to resist, right? Anyway, it will eventually return to the beginning...
Speaking of which, this might even be a good thing; if I start over... I can completely avoid Disaster, so she can no longer influence my wish.
However, Disaster's Charm ability shouldn't be this strong; did she usually hide her strength? Did she hide 30%? Or 50%? Shen Baiwei thought vaguely.
She had observed Disaster using her Charm ability many times through past influences, but she clearly felt that Disaster's ability this time was much stronger than before, and it didn't seem like a mere Charm ability, but contained an irresistible sense of oppression. freewebnovёl.ƈom
The Witch Seed's Charm ability is usually enchanting and dreamy, some even carrying a sensual aura, like a budding young girl shyly yet alluringly displaying her beauty to her beloved, but Disaster's...
Hard ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) to say!
It was practically like a heroic and dashing Sister publicly cornering someone against a wall on the street, expressing her love in the most passionate way, declaring her sovereignty to the world.
Can this be called a Demoness? Shouldn't she be a Queen?
In fact, if it weren't for this tyrannical mental impact, capable of causing irreversible damage to one's sanity, Shen Baiwei, whose Spirit Mark was gradually losing control, wouldn't even have had the chance to activate her time reversal ability.
Before long, as if her last bit of strength had been exhausted, darkness and silence enveloped Shen Baiwei's world.
Following the invisible waves surging in the darkness, Shen Baiwei's gradually emptying mind began to wait.
Waiting for the opportunity to start anew.
As long as she woke up again, she would be able to make her wish without hindrance, right? Shen Baiwei thought with anticipation.
However, after a long wait, as the darkness and silence gradually receded, and before she had fully awakened, something unexpected happened.
"Miss Shen, Miss Shen? Are you alright? Why are you lying on the ground?"
Shen Baiwei, "..." Miss Shen? Is he calling me? Who is calling me?
Vaguely hearing an unfamiliar voice mention herself, question marks instantly appeared in her mind, but a few seconds later, the question marks in her mind underwent an exponential explosion.
She heard Disaster's voice.
Disaster said, "Oh, I suddenly felt a bit unwell and fainted, but it's alright."
Shen Baiwei, "???"
Disaster? Who is she talking to? Was that person calling her?
"Miss Shen, you must take care of yourself! The Shaman King's army has already advanced to within a hundred li of Yumen Pass by noon; a great battle could start at any moment." freewebnσvel.cøm
"What? Already..." Disaster added, "Is it going to start fighting?"
"Yes! You... are you confused?"
Hearing the unfamiliar voice address Disaster as "Miss Shen" again, Shen Baiwei finally couldn't bear it anymore; she suddenly opened her eyes, sprang up from the ground with a carp-like flip, then followed the voice, shouting at Disaster and the man dressed as a woman.
"I am Shen Baiwei!"
Lu Yibei, "..." Of course I know you are Shen Baiwei, but now, I am too.
Dragon Tang, "..." I didn't get to ask just now, who is this guy?
After a brief silence, Dragon Tang broke it, pointing at Shen Baiwei and saying, "Miss Shen, this woman appeared out of nowhere and dares to impersonate you! I say, she might be an enemy spy; should we apprehend her and take her back for interrogation?"
Lu Yibei looked at Dragon Tang, who was dressed as Xia Lianqing, then at Shen Baiwei, and after thinking for a moment with her chin in hand, she said seriously, "I also think she looks like an enemy spy!"
"However, there's no need to take her back for interrogation; during these extraordinary times, we don't have that much time to waste on her. Just drag her out and execute her!"
Although I don't know why she's here too, if she follows me, she'll definitely cause trouble, right? Lu Yibei thought.
"???"
Shen Baiwei's eyes widened, her chest heaving violently, followed by a rush of anger to her head; her vision went black, and she lost consciousness.
