Chapter 41: Tears of the Scarlet Witch



"Sure, where would you like to take me?"

The Scarlet Witch handed Luo Tian a broom and she rode on the other one.

It was the first time for Luo Tian to ride a broom. He just got on it, but because the broom handle was too thin and he couldn't maintain his balance well, he fell down heavily and landed headfirst.

The Red Witch looked at his embarrassed appearance and chuckled: "Hey, you are so stupid!"

Luo Tian was not convinced, so he tried twice more. Although he fell repeatedly, he gradually figured out the trick and quickly mastered the balance. After a lot of effort he finally rode steadily, but his legs were in the middle and the broom handle did hurt.

No wonder those who ride brooms are witches, it seems there is a scientific basis for this.

The Scarlet Witch's broom slowly rose up: "I will take you to space, follow me."

A red shadow quickly streaked across the sky and the Scarlet Witch flew away.

Luo Tian's broom seemed to have an automatic driving function. Without waiting for his order, it rushed out and caught up with the Scarlet Witch.

Luo Tian felt that the broom was flying upwards and soon passed through the atmosphere, and he could see the planets below in the distance.

The blue-green Uranus and five large gray satellites were rotating in the dark space, which was extremely spectacular. He felt as if he had opened a God's perspective, looking down at all living beings and observing everything.

The Red Witch flew side by side with Luo Tian. She lightly tapped in the air, and a small bubble emerged from the space. The bubble seemed to absorb the surrounding energy and continued to grow, soon forming a giant bubble as big as a house.

"What is this?" Luo Tian asked in surprise.

"This is the Qububble spaceship I built. Let's get in quickly. We need to speed up immediately because we will pass by Saturn and the asteroid belt in a while." After the Scarlet Witch said this, she took Luo Tian's hand, and the two of them passed through the transparent film of the Qububble and entered the interior of the spaceship.

Only then did Luo Tian discover that there was actually a space capsule inside the bubble, which contained many unfamiliar dashboards and operating devices.

The Scarlet Witch operated skillfully on the screen, and the spacecraft system prompted: [Please select the propulsion mode].

"Lightspeed level 5 advancement." said the Scarlet Witch.

The spacecraft system prompted: [Curvature drive accelerator activated, light speed level 5 propulsion].

Luo Tian suddenly remembered that he had read a science fiction novel called "The Three-Body Problem" three hundred years ago, which mentioned the curvature drive engine that could allow a spacecraft to travel at the speed of light. He did not expect that three hundred years later, he would actually experience it in Kaiyuan.

"We will fly along the orbits of various star cities. Have you seen other star cities?" asked the Scarlet Witch.

Luo Tian shook his head: "No, I have only seen Uranus City. Do you just want to take me to see other star cities?"

The Red Witch said, "You guessed half right. Let me guess too. That black-haired girl has already told you my identity, right?"

Luo Tian was still wary of the Scarlet Witch, so he didn't reply.

The Red Witch continued, "I know even if you don't tell me. She has been investigating me recently. Regardless of whether she told you or not, I will definitely confess to you. I come from a mysterious organization in Kaiyuan, the Stargazing Society."

Luo Tian didn't expect that the Scarlet Witch would actually reveal her identity directly. She was so frank, which revealed her own darkness. She had doubts in her heart, but she didn't dare to say them out loud.

"Her name is Shu Ya, the black-haired girl you mentioned. Yes, she did tell me that you were from the Stargazing Society. She also said that it was an evil organization that planned many disasters." Luo Tian also confessed, "To be honest, I have seen the Saturn City Polar Storm incident. She said it was you who did it. Is that true?"

The Red Witch suddenly approached Luo Tian, staring at him closely: "If I say no, will you believe me?"

Luo Tian looked into her eyes. There was a flame burning in her fiery red pupils, so intense and hot that there was no trace of impurities. He was silent, not daring to look directly at him.

The Red Witch lowered her head in frustration. "I didn't expect you still don't believe me, but I still have to say that I didn't do it. Yes, I stole the information about the Polar Storm, and I do have the ability to create it, but I would never harm civilians. I was framed."

Luo Tian saw her leaning alone against the seat in the cockpit, with her head down and crystal tears hanging in the corners of her eyes. He suddenly had an urge to comfort her.

He thought: Was the Red Witch crying because he didn't believe her? Maybe she was telling the truth. Although this was only the second time they met, he knew her character. She was proud, stubborn, and fiery. There was no need for her to lie deliberately and act out a sad story for him.

Luo Tian overcame gravity, slid to her side with both hands, put his right arm around her shoulders, and said gently: "I believe you."

The Scarlet Witch's face, which was just sad, quickly broke into a smile again: "I didn't choose the wrong person. You really will believe me. Maybe... you are the only one who believes me."?
