Chapter 573 Trial and Intervention
As the two children fell asleep, outside the candy house, accompanied by a black smoke, the figure of an old witch silently appeared at the door.
She was wearing a pitch-black robe and a pointed wizard hat. She had blue-gray eyes that radiated an evil light, a long hooked nose, and a face full of wrinkles and age spots like tree bark. She looked like a standard evil old witch from a fairy tale.
After a while, the black smoke slowly dissipated, and the old witch, whose body had completely solidified, reached out her hand and pushed open the white chocolate door of the candy house.
After entering the room, she looked at the furniture that had been gnawed into a mess, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Without staying on the first floor for long, she walked straight towards the stairs leading to the second floor, as if she had already determined the location of the two young uninvited guests.
Avis could also sense all of this, he could even hear the faint footsteps approaching outside the door.
There was almost no convenient place to hide in this bedroom. The only place to hide was under the bed, or to escape immediately from the window.
He now faces two choices, either to escape immediately or to hide nearby.
Avis didn't want to gamble whether his hiding would be seen through by the old witch. He had a feeling that if he let the old witch "see" him, it would probably trigger some unexpected changes.
But most importantly, he could not sense any breath of life from the old witch. If the two children could still be considered independent individuals, then the old witch was more like an abnormal phenomenon in a dream.
As the footsteps became clearer and clearer, Avis no longer hesitated and crawled directly under the bed.
The space under the bed was not high. After Anvis crawled under it, a sweet smell of cake lingered in his nose, as if tempting him to try it.
Soon, the bedroom door opened, and a pair of feet wearing dirty pointed black leather shoes came closer and finally stopped in front of the bed.
Avis held his breath slightly. At this moment, the two children on the bed were unaware of the situation and were still sleeping soundly.
The next moment, strange changes began to occur.
The indoor environment suddenly began to change. The light dimmed, and the space flowed, swirled, and smeared like paint on a canvas. Finally, after it was reset, it had become another room that was completely different from the previous one.
The changes in the dream did not include the several-meter range centered on the white cake bed, so Avis, who was hiding under the bed, also came to this new room.
The sweet aroma of the cake was tinged with a strange smell of potion, and a strange gurgling sound appeared nearby, accompanied by the crackling sound of firewood and the rustling sound of stirring.
The two children on the bed were also stimulated by the change of environment and woke up with frowns.
After the initial confusion, the two children finally realized that there was something unusual about the environment.
The dreamlike candy house had disappeared at some point and was replaced by a dark and damp little house.
The walls were covered with strange things such as lizard tails, dried frogs, and goblin ears. In the center of the room, a huge black iron pot sat on the flames. A figure in a black robe had his back to them and was stirring something in the pot with a stick.
As if hearing the sound of the two waking up, the figure stopped moving and slowly turned around. A terrifying old witch's face appeared in their eyes.
"Hehehe!! You two juicy little kids are my favorite to eat! Since you ate my house, you should pay me back with your bodies!"
Accompanied by a laugh that sounded very evil, the old witch came over, ready to grab the two frightened children and put them into the pot.
But at this moment, one of the boys seemed to suddenly burst out with courage. He jumped up and bumped the old witch with his body, then dragged the girl, who was frightened stiff, and ran out the door.
Caught off guard, the old witch staggered and then became furious, running after the two children.
But for some reason, she didn't use any magic during the chase.
However, after all, the physical foundation of a professional was there, and the two children were unfamiliar with the terrain, so the old witch quickly caught up with the two people who were fleeing in panic.
But when her hand is about to touch the two children, a faint white light will flash on the two children, bounce the old witch's hand away, and teleport the two children to other rooms.
But soon, the old witch will find them again and continue the previous chase.
"If this were a fairy tale, how would the plot develop next..."
Watching the old witch chasing the two children around the house through his spiritual power, Avis felt extremely speechless.
He also noticed some problems. There seemed to be some special mechanism in this dream. The candy house seemed to be completely taken from the best things in the two children's memories, and the old witch was the embodiment of their fears.
Moreover, the protective light on the two was not infinite. As they were caught by the old witch too many times, the light became dimmer and dimmer.
The door of this room seemed impossible to open. After being nearly caught by the old witch many times, the two finally realized that it was useless to just run away.
"This won't work, Searle. We have to find a way to get rid of her, or we'll be caught!"
"What should we do, Gray? The door seems to be locked, and there are no windows here. We can't escape."
Hiding in the kitchen cupboard, the two children began to discuss. At this moment, the protective aura on them had been completely exhausted. If they were caught again, they would face death.
"Listen, Serge. Although she looks scary, she doesn't seem to be able to use magic. We can find a way to push her into that cauldron!"
The girl first thought of a way to save herself, and she began to explain her plan to the boy.
"But, Gray, she's very strong. We can't beat her."
"Then find a way to lure her to the pot, then sneak attack her from behind and trip her!"
After a brief planning, the two children made up their minds.
Without much hesitation, the two of them immediately fled to the room with the cauldron before the old witch found this place.
The subsequent plot was just as the two had planned. The two children set a simple trap. The boy was deliberately caught by the old witch indoors, and then the girl hiding in the closet rushed out from behind the old witch and slammed into her back.
But unfortunately, the girl's strength seemed too weak. Although the old witch's body shook, she did not fall into the boiling pot as the two had expected.
The old witch gave the girl a hideous smile with a look of despair, reached out and grabbed the girl, and then was about to put the two children into the pot together.
At this time, Avis, who had been waiting for a long time, finally took action.
An invisible force field enveloped the old witch's body, imprisoning her and taking the two children away from her hands.
But as Avis moved, a huge sense of crisis irritated his nerves like a thorn in his back.
It seemed that an unknown factor was detected interfering in the scene. The boiling iron pot, the two children flying away from the witch's hands, the imprisoned old witch... everything fell into a strange state of stagnation.
Then, an unstoppable force surged out from the dream itself and descended upon Avis, trying to completely erase his existence.
But before this power came upon him, Avis had already taken a bite of the cake on the bed. At the same time, the effect of the [Dark Side of the Moon] that appeared on his body also confused this power for a moment.
The next moment, a special dream wave emanated from Avis' body.
Sensing the existence of this fluctuation, this force swirled around Avis for a while before finally dissipating in disappointment.
Noticing all these changes, Avis secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He made a bold attempt and the result was pretty good.
