Later, Luo Xiaoyu proposed the "black and white" theory of witches, and relied on Banbu's advanced mechanical capabilities to vigorously develop mechanical weapons, giving power to ordinary people.
In this way, the social order from thirty years ago to the present has been established, and the world has undergone tremendous changes.
Back to reality
Below the city center, Luo Xiaoyu and Angel clashed fiercely, both sustaining injuries. Angel's wounds were deeper, but her body recovered much faster.
"This can't go on!"
Seeing Angel's wounds heal before her eyes once again, leaving only a faint scar, Luo Xiaoyu felt extremely anxious.
During the fight, her stamina gradually depleted, and continuing to fight Angel would only be a waste of time.
In terms of physical strength alone, the possibility of completely overcoming an arm is very low; the quickest and most effective method must be chosen!
A blue syringe slid out of her sleeve and landed on her fingertip. Luo Xiaoyu silently memorized the direction of the syringe, quietly peeled off the cap to reveal the needle tip, and hid it between her fingers.
"Xiao Yu, are you tired?"
She slowed her movements, giving the opposite Angle a chance to catch her breath. She wiped the sweat from her brow and stared intently at her.
The deeper meaning of this sentence is: Are you ready to surrender?
Luo Xiaoyu paused for a few seconds, her eyes filled with determination as she ran towards Angle. Her speed was lightning fast, and she appeared behind Angle in just a few breaths.
This time, they have to settle things!
...
Half an hour later
The city center was peaceful and quiet, as if the whole world did not exist.
There was no moon or stars in the black night sky above; everything was shrouded in darkness, just like any other day.
In the gloomy sky, a figure slowly emerged from the darkness. The woman approaching was dressed in tattered clothes, her steps were unsteady, and her pale face was tinged with ashen.
Behind her, a semi-circular metal sphere followed, its trajectory following an "S" shape, just like her movements.
Sounds appeared in the air: the soft whirring of gears grinding together, the footsteps of a woman, and her panting.
As she passed the gates of the central city, the gloomy sky suddenly brightened, and a beam of light fell upon her—the light from her mech.
"You've arrived?"
With a calm and unremarkable tone, like chatting with a friend, a man holding two guns stood calmly in front of her, his long bangs obscuring his eyes.
The woman looked up and squinted. The sudden bright light made her lose her ability to see clearly; all she could see was a blinding white.
Are you "mortal"?
The woman asked instinctively.
As she finished speaking, her vision gradually cleared, and a gloomy face came into view—a face that seemed so familiar.
"right."
The man did not deny it.
After regaining her sight, the woman looked around warily. There was no one else around, only this man standing there.
Her gaze fell on the man again. His simple black t-shirt, his strong and muscular body, and even the two guns in his hands gave the woman a strange feeling.
Is he really a mortal?
The legendary black sorcerer who possessed Hughes, the leader mentioned by the black sorcerer, turned out to be so...ordinary.
My hand swept down to my lower back, where I found a scavenged machine gun that I could use for self-defense.
A man not far away saw her movements and spoke.
“You don’t need to be wary of me.” He put away his two guns. “Just raise your hands.”
As he said those words, several small red dots landed on the woman's chest; it was a sniper.
Looking around warily, the woman heard a cacophony of breathing sounds that allowed her to clearly identify how many people were around her.
...seven, eight, nine.
There are only nine people.
As the woman was pondering, a rough voice suddenly came from the air.
"Boss, don't pity her! Luo Xiaoyu is already dead, let us kill her!"
"It was said by a dark sorcerer hiding in the shadows."
"Don't interrupt."
The man replied coldly as he turned his head.
My sister is dead?
The words echoed repeatedly in the woman's mind. She paused for a moment, then quickly realized what was happening, and a hint of self-reproach appeared in her eyes.
She surprisingly accepted it very quickly...
"I'm not going to kill her yet."
The man continued.
His words caught Luo Qiushui's attention. She had felt uneasy when she walked over, and those little dots should have landed on her earlier.
If they had fired just now, she wouldn't have escaped; she'd be a corpse now. But they didn't.
Thinking of this, Qiu Shui's gaze fell on the man in front of her again. She should have seen this face and this tone of voice before. Where was it?
"Fan Chen! Why let her go? Luo Xiaoyu is dead. Kill her, and Luo Yi will no longer have the ability to eliminate witch power. Then we can live in peace, right?"
Fan Chen did not answer. He lowered his head and touched the gun in its holster, his fingers habitually tracing the pads of his fingers, as if he was thinking.
Observing his action, Qiu Shui became puzzled again, "Have we... met before?" she couldn't help but ask.
Fan Chen raised his head, and those eyes, those evenly styled bangs, that gesture of stroking his fingertips, and...
Fan Chen's lips curled up, and a smile landed in front of her, causing a flood of thoughts to flash through her mind.
"Hunter's Clothing, Bamboo Forest, Wardrobe Undead... NPC!"
A flash of inspiration struck Qiu Shui, and she looked up in astonishment.
He was the playboy she met during the Heian period, and the NPC who guided them in front of Mount Fuji!
That gentle smile, that kind attitude, those considerate words and upright demeanor...
That person, is he from the mortal realm?!
"You remembered."
The mortal's gaze carried an indescribable meaning, making Qiu Shui tremble with fear.
"You've been spying on me all along?"
She dared not think about that question.
Fan Chen's lips moved, but he didn't speak.
"On the day we went to Mount Fuji, was it you who altered the memory data of the shikigami in Heian-kyo, making them remember their true identities, causing them to break down and harm the onmyoji?"
Qiu Shui understood everything.
That day, her encounter with him, accompanied by her shikigami, was not accidental. He brought something with him that day, altering the settings of the Heian-kyo operating system and shattering the Heian world.
This wasn't the only thing; she had seen him much earlier!
While she was engrossed in the main storyline, someone followed her bracelet to her location, broke through her firewall, and discovered her secrets and the serum that suppressed her magical power.
So……
"You helped me save the Snow Woman and helped me integrate into the main storyline, all in order to uncover Luo Yi's secrets, right?"
Qiu Shui asked, her voice trembling.
Fan Chen paused for a second, then nodded silently; his actions spoke volumes.
"You liar!"
Qiu Shui glared at him angrily.
Now she wants to drain his blood! To tear off his flesh! To make him taste what it feels like to have his beloved family taken away!
