Xia Li was still noticed by Song Che. No matter how many times, Song Che always managed to sense something was wrong at the last minute, but she couldn't say anything. Even though the death rewind was separate, it was Song Che who died and she who rewound. She didn't want her memory to fade or Song Che to forget each other, so she kept looking for a solution.
But each time I rewind, the world becomes a little stranger, as if the difficulty has increased.
Xia Li saw every place clearly: the driver in the car, the convenience store owner, the restaurant staff, the hotel renovations, the road in front of the internet cafe—and every single person here.
Everyone is targeting them.
Those humans seemed to live normal lives, but around 1:30 pm or 4:30 am, they would approach Song Che for various reasons or cause various accidents to kill Song Che, leaving only her alive.
There were no drivers in the cars on the road, the items in the convenience store were poisonous, but the poison was only affecting Song Che, the inn was poorly renovated—a piece of cement would fall down every time, and this world was not a normal world at all.
It is a world at dusk.
Except for the early morning, it's dusk after noon.
Xia Li didn't give up, but she was at a loss. She looked at her phone more and more often, and Song Che became more and more gentle towards her. She felt increasingly unable to hold onto Song Che.
She's clearly almost ready to learn how to like things.
She has experienced the feeling of liking someone.
It's almost there, it's already very close. It's been a month now, give her another month—just one more month will be enough.
If she had just a little more time, she would have understood what her true feelings were, and whether the witch also had a heart, but was now trapped in this strange area and unable to leave.
"Xia Li, you look so tired. Did you not sleep well?"
Song Che looked at Xia Li with a puzzled expression. The girl looked much more haggard, as if she were sick, and there was a number tag hanging next to her, which made Song Che even more worried. He didn't know what the number meant.
Death countdown?
Looking at her haggard face, Song Che subconsciously guessed the worst.
Number: 27
Song Che couldn't tell, but he could tell that Xia Li had something on her mind, and he felt so sorry for her.
Xia Li's expression was terrifying; her face was flushed, and her fists were clenched tightly, making her look like she wanted to hit someone.
"Xia Li, why is your face so red?"
Song Che and Xia Li were crossing the street, but Xia Li looked unhappy. It wasn't that she wanted to hit someone—damn, she looked like she wanted to kill someone!
Xia Li raised her hand and lifted a speeding car into the air.
The car flew five or six meters into the air before crashing down, bursting into flames and exploding. Xia Li silently chanted a spell, and the flames were blocked three meters in front of her. She then raised her hand and tossed the car aside.
The whole process was done in one go, and the performer was very skilled.
"This car ran a red light, and I'm stopping it," Xia Li said, pointing to the traffic light across the street.
"Hmm—I did run a red light."
But there's no need to blow it up!
Points will be deducted.
and many more.
"Xia Li, you're fucking cheating!"
Xia Li transferred her magic to Song Che, saying, "Remember to protect yourself. You're at the level of a magician now."
Song Che was stunned as he felt the magic power in his body.
What is all this about? Why am I suddenly being told to protect myself? And why did you blow up someone's car? The driver is still inside! Why didn't you help him?
"There was no driver in that car just now, and the people here—they're not human. We've fallen into a trap."
"It seems—" Song Che watched as the sea of fire was suppressed by Xia Li's magic, and there was indeed no driver inside.
But is it possible that he was burned to ashes by Xia Li?
"Look closely at the other cars; many of them are empty."
Song Che looked over and found that it was indeed like a bug.
"Could it be an illusion?"
"I don't know." Xia Li and Song Che explored the cycle several times and found that this was the real world. Except for the abnormal people, everything else was normal.
Xia Li also discovered a pattern: if Song Che didn't die around 1 a.m. and was protected by her magic, the mastermind would send people from the city to attack them.
It's about twelve o'clock now.
Dusk is approaching.
"Song Che, do you still remember how to fight?"
"I do remember, but it's not good to cause trouble in the city, you'll get arrested." Song Che hadn't experienced reincarnation, so he was still skeptical of everything. There was indeed no driver in the car, but after the car exploded, pedestrians were screaming and running away, and some even called the police. Logically speaking, this was Xia Li's nonsense, and even if she had regained her magic power, she should have told him first.
Even if those cars without drivers are abnormal, it doesn't mean that other people are abnormal.
Song Che clearly couldn't understand these things in a short time.
But Xia Li is not a reckless person. She can distinguish between good and bad and never kills civilians indiscriminately, especially ordinary people. She will not bully them.
Song Che couldn't understand it, but then he heard Xia Li's voice in his ear.
"Song Che, do you believe me?"
"I believe you." Song Che replied without hesitation. Although they didn't get along in the other world, they had fought side by side for decades. The trust between them was not something to be taken lightly. Since Xia Li told him to trust her, Song Che did not hesitate.
Although some doubts still exist, it's not too late to ask them later.
"Is there anything you need me to do, Your Highness?"
"Protect yourself." Xia Li's voice regained its authority. "Come with me to the city center. That's where the most people are, but the mastermind is there. Kill it, and everything will be over."
"What are you planning to do? It will take several tens of minutes to get there from here. Since you're in their trap, that's enough time for them to deal with you."
Song Che understood a little. He tentatively interpreted it as Xia Li regaining her magic, discovering another magic user, and then a conflict ensued.
"Force your way in."
"—Quite Your Highness's style." Song Che paused. "Do you have any information about it?"
"It's stronger than me. Around 1 a.m., it will manipulate the people in the city to kill us. At midnight, the sky will turn into dusk, and that's when it's most dangerous."
Song Che was taken aback.
Am I dreaming?
That twilight world only exists in dreams.
Before he could continue thinking, the irritable Xia Li had already rushed to the city center.
Song Che was terrified. Xia Li was alright when she didn't have magic, but when she did, she was ruthless.
With a wave of her hand, a building was destroyed. Song Che's eyelids twitched. "Your Highness, your face is red—so you're angry. Did this convenience store—make you angry?"
"Yeah, his boss poisoned me."
"————Oh." Song Che looked at the boss—he was pitifully burned, all charred, and clearly unusable.
However, Song Che did notice something different. After gaining magic power, he immediately sensed the presence of other magical energy here. The people here were also different from normal humans; they resembled puppets—or rather, they weren't even puppets.
In short, none of them were human.
Xia Li would never kill an unarmed person, which shows that the convenience store owner must have gone too far to anger Xia Li so much that she used magic to send him flying.
boom-
Another restaurant caught fire.
"What's wrong with this place?"
"I suspect he was an accomplice, so I burned them together."
The crowd scattered and fled, but Xia Li didn't even blink, acting like a female demon. Only Song Che felt that they needed to restrain themselves a little.
If this were a real world.
Then we won't blow it up!
That's an unforgivable crime, the kind that would get bombed by humans with missiles!
At that point, I'll have no choice but to flee with Xia Li.
escape?
I was just kidding. You can't escape unless Xia Li recovers her peak strength.
An internet cafe was blown up.
"Did this family offend you too?"
"without."
"—So you're just blowing this up for fun?"
Xia Li didn't say anything.
Well, Your Highness really is like a robber.
Song Che had never seen Xia Li like this before. She was filled with resentment, even more so than a female ghost who had been dead for hundreds of years.
"Is the mastermind just going to watch you cause trouble?"
"No, it's about to make its move."
As soon as he finished speaking, dusk fell.
Song Che noticed that many defensive spells had appeared around him, and a magic circle was being drawn. Needless to say, it was all Xia Li's doing. The people around him started to act strangely. They stopped screaming and running away, and instead charged forward expressionlessly. Their physical strength had been enhanced to the point that they were like calves, and they could send ordinary people flying with a single punch.
Xia Li and Song Che stood back to back, and the familiar feeling returned.
They rarely found themselves in a passive situation, and Song Che even missed it a little.
This feeling—it's been so long since I've felt this way.
He treated it as a dream, so he wasn't nervous at all.
When I woke up, everything was alright.
As the crowd surged, Song Che finally understood why he had insisted on forcing his way into the city center.
The crowd is enormous; once the time comes, the only option is to force your way in, but with our current resources, it's not enough.
Magicians fear being approached, but with so many people, someone is bound to get close.
"This dream is more outrageous than all of the previous ones combined—a world war, right?" Song Che thought, trying to protect himself while preventing Xia Li from being attacked from both sides. It felt like he was playing a video game.
But how do I pass the level?
However, fighting back-to-back with Xia Li feels different.
Previously, the two fought together as a witch and her contractor, but now they are fighting together as lovers. This feels pretty good, and Song Che is quite happy.
Xia Li felt the same way. Being able to fight alongside Song Che made her feel much better. She even felt that it wouldn't matter if she was trapped here, since Song Che would always be with her. She could learn everything about humans here and do anything she wanted with Song Che.
If you like something, you can learn it.
The sky seemed to have changed, with dark clouds as black as ink.
Xia Li was just thinking that it wouldn't matter if she stayed here with Song Che for the rest of her life when, in the next second, a light drizzle began to fall, like someone was crying, and the people attacking her disappeared.
But Song Che has also disappeared.
"Where are you going to take my Song Che?!"
Xia Li now clearly felt it.
She was furious, and her magic was returning. Hurricanes swirled around her, whipping up pebbles; flames scorched raindrops, sending steam into the air; and ice froze everything. She felt it; she was truly furious.
Anger, sorrow.
She was angry that the other party had driven Song Che away, and saddened that she had lost Song Che again.
It's alright though.
There was a reason why Song Che died. The curse magic could kill people at a fixed time. As long as the curser is killed, all of this can be stopped. Xia Li is now going to find the mastermind behind it all.
She can now travel thousands of miles in an instant, easily tearing through space, her aura violent and filled with rage as she descends upon the center of Taixi.
She didn't say much, and began chanting a spell.
"O spirits who roam the realm of magic, heed my command."
A super-level magic circle unfolded in the center of Taixi City, layer upon layer. Xia Li forcibly dispersed the dark clouds, and all the raindrops were frozen, falling to the ground like arrows.
Song Che looked at Xia Li's raging sky in despair, "Your Highness, I'm down there too."
Friendly fire! You've accidentally shot your own troops!
Your Highness, please stop using your supernatural powers.
Xia Li rarely starts with a move outside her position—she was probably really angry.
Seeing that Xia Li had no intention of stopping, Song Che decided to give up. He figured if he died, he would. If Xia Li wanted to kill him, he would just do it.
What more is there to say?
Seven or eight overlapping super-tier spells covered the entire Taixi. Song Che suddenly remembered that saying again: "If you shed a tear, I will slaughter a city." The key is that the range of this magic is too large. As a witch princess, the super-tier magic she casts is more powerful than ordinary magic. This range—it is estimated that Nan Hui will also be wiped out.
Damn it, thank goodness it was just a dream!
I'm so scared!
The witch is scary!
As Song Che watched the magic drawing ever closer, he suddenly felt someone hug him.
He turned around in confusion and was nearly scared to death.
The boss-like woman was hugging him from behind, her eyes glowing with a boss-like red light. He couldn't see her face clearly, but the touch was quite soft, even softer than Xia Li's. Was it because Xia Li was wearing thicker clothes?
Even in the moments before he died, Song Che was still lost in his own frivolous thoughts.
Magic swept in like the end of the world. Countless buildings rose from the ground and were swept into the air by the hurricane. Countless liquids were frozen and the entire Taixi was destroyed. Xia Li's aura was like that of a god descending from heaven.
This is the complete form, Lin Xia Li.
Her Highness the Witch, the strongest magic user, the strongest magic power holder, and the strongest holder of forbidden magic.
Xia Li, suspended in the air, gradually lost her anger, which was replaced by another emotion.
It felt sore and itchy, I couldn't speak, the tip of my nose started to hurt, and finally a tear rolled down my cheek.
Xia Li hates a thousand yuan.
Xia Li hated that Song Che played that game with her.
Xia Li wants to live in the present with Song Che.
Xia Li wanted to seize every minute and every second.
Song Che woke up, but felt sore in his back and waist, as if he had been drained dry.
Looking out the window, the sun was shining brightly, high in the sky.
I glanced at the time.
Afternoon: 1:31
That nightmare just now felt so real.
-
Xia Li regains her magic and battles the mastermind behind Taixi.
The last seven or eight super-level spells destroyed Taixi, and incidentally also destroyed Nanhui and Licheng.
—Damn it, Xia Li, you're terrifying.
Song Che was truly terrified; if Xia Li were to regain her magic, this was not an impossible scenario.
If anyone makes her angry, she'll definitely subdue them with a magic spell.
Is this still the same naive Xia Li?
Song Che got up and saw that Xia Li was still sleeping.
Last night's lap pillow was really comfortable. Xia Li's legs felt weak. He hugged her waist and accidentally took a whiff of her fragrance—luckily, Xia Li didn't notice, otherwise she definitely wouldn't let him use it.
Xia Li was still sleeping.
Song Che leaned closer to take a look.
The silver-haired girl had a furrowed brow, pursed lips, a red nose, and a tear rolling down her cheek.
