Chapter 236: 205 Ah~, don’t look!_2

The two exchanged a strange look and continued to walk towards the building that resembled a graveyard nearby.

It was an oval-shaped building with an inclined stone staircase exposed at the front opening.

“Hold on!” The little boss’s face suddenly turned solemn, and he slowly crouched down, staring at the location of the stone stairs, “There are signs of recent activity!”

He grabbed a handful of soil from the ground and swung it forward fiercely, giving it a light blow, and dust flew everywhere.

The little boss carefully lay on the ground, looking left and right, sniffing, and shaking his ears to listen, his expression serious, “Seems like just one person? Did that Axiu escape from the coffin?”

No.

It wasn’t that contemporary witch.

In fact, Lin An already knew there was someone here without the little boss’s actions.

At this moment, a young girl with a wicker basket over her arm walked slowly out of the woods, staring at the two of them dumbfounded.

“Chen Shuyun?” Lin An called out, puzzled.

The girl screamed and turned to run, dropping the basket on the ground, from which some mushrooms and plant roots tumbled out.

“Who?” The little boss quickly stood up, looking confusedly in the direction of the basket.

“Chen Shuyun…” Lin An raised an eyebrow, clearly seeing through Sky Drifter Eyes that the girl hadn’t gone far, but had agilely climbed a large tree and was peering down cautiously through the gaps in the leaves.

She had cast a spell similar to concealment, quickly merging with the tree. Even as Lin An was watching her through Sky Drifter Eyes, he suddenly had the illusion she had disappeared from sight as if a blur before his eyes.

“Your girlfriend…” The little boss looked Lin An up and down, making a tsk-tsk noise with his mouth.

Lin An rolled his eyes, “Don’t talk nonsense!”

“She even hid in your closet…” The little boss pursed his lips, “Go on, I know you want to chase after her. I’ll just wait here for you.”

Lin An did have questions he wanted to ask Chen Shuyun.

The witch’s current condition didn’t look good; her right hand appeared particularly strange, several sizes larger than her left, dangling lifelessly and bonelessly inside her wizard’s robe.

But the hand was twisting like a snake, the long fingernails resembling fangs.

This scene involuntarily reminded Lin An of Mr. Liu.

His former boss, Mr. Liu.

Back when Mr. Liu’s betrayal in attacking the Yoga Studio Witches’ Gathering was exposed, Chen Xinmi caught him and experimented directly on his body with the recently stolen “Heartstrings Fragrance Witchcraft.” Mr. Liu’s Grey Wolf Spirituality resulted in one hand being grafted with a snake. (144)

However, Chen Shuyun’s situation was clearly different.

Mr. Liu had undergone a grafting of two spiritualities.

Chen Shuyun was experiencing the process of spirituality eroding her body, which is the most common in the Supernatural World, the witch turning into a Sorcerer Zombie, the process of a wizard becoming a witch-ghoul.

Lin An transformed into a black cat, his body nimble as he darted up the tree, reaching Chen Shuyun in a few steps, and then reverted to human form, curiously inspecting her.

The tree trunk before his eyes suddenly blurred, and Chen Shuyun’s figure reappeared.

She looked at Lin An nervously and quickly put her right hand behind her back, crying out in agitation, “Ahh~, don’t look!”

But the right hand, like a python, slithered out over her left shoulder, the five fingers waving with venomous fangs, threateningly lunging at Lin An.

“You can’t control your right hand?” Lin An asked, frowning at Chen Shuyun.

Chen Shuyun huddled up, looking at Lin An pitifully and nodded with grievance.

“I remember…” Lin An was confused, “Didn’t your sister prepare a potion for you? It seemed to cure you at the time?”

That time, Lin An happened to be there and tagged along for a medicinal bath, nearly getting strangled to death by Chen Shuyun while soaking. (106)

Back then Lin An didn’t understand, but thinking back now, he realized the significance of the technique used to separate and peel off the erosion of the spirituality and the body.

Chen Shuyun’s expression darkened, she looked down without speaking, and stretched out her left hand, forcefully twisting her python-like right hand.

Her Squirrel Spirituality was sitting on the treetop, sobbing and wiping its cheeks with tiny hands, but large tear drops just couldn’t stop falling.

—”Wuuwuu, my sister’s gone crazy, she used me for experiments, and she said she sacrificed so much for me, she seemed to hate me…”

—”She said there is a problem with my half witch-ghoul appearance, for sure it’s her Suppression Witchcraft that’s malfunctioning, then she also found the answer.”

—”She said it’s definitely you, Lin An, you took something from me…”

—”She verified it, a part of it is on you, you can’t escape it either, my sister, my sister has become so scary!”

“!!!”

“???”

When?

Lin An’s expression changed, and he quickly mobilized his spirituality to assist his brain in high-speed processing, recalling every moment of his contact with Chen Xinmi to rapidly analyze the situation.

Eventually, one memory image froze in place.

At that time, he had transformed into a black cat carrying Chen Xinmi on his back to attack Mr. Liu, who was in the process of turning into a sorcerer zombie grey wolf. It was then that Chen Xinmi had been stealthily feeling his right hand!

That wasn’t just touching his hand, she was feeling the essence of the red string that was wrapped around his right arm!

Afterward, Chen Xinmi seemed to have completely merged with the red string, turning into a terrifying red string spray substance that dismembered Mr. Liu in his sorcerer zombie form! (155)

And after that…

Chen Xinmi’s whereabouts became more and more mysterious. Apart from the two occasions when she surfaced to hunt down Zhuang, her activities were unknown.

Even the black cat had lost contact with her.

But Miao Miao had once warned him, saying that Chen Xinmi had plans that would adversely affect him!

“Your sister conducted experiments on you?” Lin An looked at Chen Shuyun with a serious expression.

Chen Shuyun seemed to be frightened by his expression, shrunk back against the tree trunk looking pitiful and nodded her head, opening her mouth to speak but accidentally revealed a terrifyingly pink snake tongue, and she quickly covered her mouth.

“Mmm, don’t look!”

Her eyes turned blood red, and a furious, shameful rage began to surge wildly within them.

A voice inside her head seemed to be screaming at her—”Kill him, he has seen your ugliest form, kill him!”

Chen Shuyun did not make any dangerous moves, just curled up even smaller.

Her tall and ample body nearly rolled into a ball.

Lin An still looked down at her from above, “Tell me, what kind of experiments is Chen Xinmi conducting?”

Chen Shuyun hesitated for a moment, looked up at Lin An, and murmured weakly, “Heart-to-Heart Skewers Fragrance Witchcraft, I’ve never heard of it…”

Or perhaps, she didn’t remember it anymore, as the events from the time of ‘Ghost Face’ had completely vanished from her mind following the suppression witchcraft her sister had used.

Lin An frowned deeply, quickly recalling the witchcraft data he and Chen Xinmi had looked at before.

The data was divided into two parts, the witchcraft itself and Lu Tingyu’s conjectures.

Lu Tingyu believed that when an apprentice knight was training in the Furnace, they could use a Stone Treasure to create a personal space for themselves.

This method…

Could possibly be the same as the one used by Mr. Liu to create the headquarters of the ‘Mad Wizard’s Tree Hole’ organization, presumably a technique further refined by Mr. Liu.

Is this what she wanted?

Or perhaps…

The witchcraft itself?

The original name of the witchcraft was ‘Your Heart as My Heart,’ not the mischievously translated ‘Heartstrings Fragrance Witchcraft’ by Zhuang. Its specific purpose was to exchange one’s own heart with the heart of a sorcerer zombie, allowing the sorcerer zombie carrying one’s heart to go to the Spirit Realm. Then, the person in the real world could directly absorb the spiritual energy of the Spirit Realm through the soul link.

At that time, everyone in the Antler Conference Room believed this was a new version of the ‘Furnace.’ (140)

Although Lu Tingyu had personally tested it and found it ineffective.

Was this Chen Xinmi’s goal?

Lin An’s brain spun rapidly, and he couldn’t help but recall the Furnace Core antlers she had taken from Zhuang.

Although the original ‘Heart-to-Heart Skewers’ witchcraft ritual did not require an antler, perhaps this was Chen Xinmi’s improved version?

Witch-hunting Knight… Wizard…?

Lin An suddenly remembered that Chen Xinmi had used a ritual magic similar to ‘Heart-to-Heart’ when she split her body and soul in half to suppress Chen Shuyun’s witch-ghoul transformation a long time ago.

The same technique of exchanging hearts.

That’s right, the heart beating in Chen Shuyun’s chest is her sister’s heart, which her sister had already switched once before during the suppression witchcraft. (131)

This technique was said to be invented by a Witch-hunting Knight for his wizard wife.

Combining this with Chen Xinmi’s current actions of hunting Zhuang’s antlers, Lin An vaguely sensed the problem within.
