Lord of the Witches

"Aren't you afraid of me?"

Tang Qi's reaction obviously confused the old lady.

This is very different from the scenes that have happened many times in the past. The young man in front of him doesn't seem to be petrified. He neither cries, wets his pants, or is so frightened that he speaks incoherently. He just uses pity and sympathy looking at himself.

Um?

The old woman's rotten eyeballs turned a few times suddenly, and her eyes were completely focused on Tang Qi. The stench and terrible black air were released at the same time. A pair of skinny claw-like palms grabbed Tang Qi's arms and growled: "You who is it?"

Boom!

Sympathy is all sympathy, the old woman was still thrown away by the "Guardian Curse" that suddenly appeared on Tang Qi's body, and the old woman who had mutated into some kind of "zombie" creature flew out straight upside down.

But it didn't matter, she flew back excitedly after hearing Tang Qi's next words.

"Charlotte, my guide, the source of my guilt, the place of my sin... I'm sorry my love, I have dedicated my life to Aerlia, if I could meet you earlier, ah No, it's all fate . . . Ralph."

The familiar tone instantly made the old woman realize something.

Using both hands and feet, she climbed up from the wall to the dome, and landed in front of Tang Qi with a bang. Facing the "Guardian Curse", she stopped stretching out her hand and stood excitedly. The rotten eyes flashed with anticipation and hope .

The old woman said anxiously: "You know Ralph, right? Where is he? Is he here? I want to see him, hurry up, take me to see him."

Because of the old woman's agitation, everything in the side hall was rotting at an accelerated rate. Terrible black air overflowed from her body like a tide, and Tang Qi couldn't help but be surprised that the pollution and radiation spread around here as the center.

In the originally quiet castle, especially from the rear, there were some terrifying movements, like roars of monsters, howls of ghosts, and chaotic ravings.

Seeing this change, Tang Qi frowned, and had to swallow the words that came to his lips.

He wanted to tell "Charlotte" that Ralph was dead.

But it is almost foreseeable that once the cruel truth is told, Charlotte, who has become "weird" in front of her eyes, will burst out immediately. Her aura is completely integrated with this castle. It can be said that she is this The heart of "Pollution."

In Tang Qi's perception, there are a lot of weirdness behind the castle. From the perspective of aura, many of them are stronger than Charlotte.

But they are all attracted guests.

Once Charlotte rioted, they had to be driven.

Once again, Tang Qi sighed from the bottom of his heart: Scumbag, what a crime.

The reason why the scene in front of him appeared was naturally related to Ralph.

"When Ralph passed through Berkshire, he was invited by the owner and his wife of the Fog Castle because he was handsome and graceful, and he was a graduate of the University of Carthage. That year, Charlotte was just fifteen years old. People get acquainted because of a heart-pounding song, and soon fall in love."

"Although there is a gap in age between the two, Ralph did have an extraordinary charm when he was young. Charlotte's parents acquiesced in the relationship between the two until a small adventure happened. Charlotte and Ralph , strayed into a painting."

"That is an entrance, the entrance to Deborah Town."

"So, it's an adventure story that loves the new and hates the old."

From Leah's telling, in her childhood, it's a typical delusional story from her insane father.

But at this moment, the scene in front of him made the story extraordinarily real.

"When Ralph met Charlotte, the spiritual tide never returned, just like the witch of doom who could only choose to sneak in. The entrance here is very hidden and ordinary people can't enter unless they are like Ralph. , the chosen one."

While thinking about it, Tang Qi felt the atmosphere of more riots in front of him, as well as the vibrating castle, and the weird army behind seemed to be rushing here because of Charlotte's emotional changes.

In the past, those male nurses who came here for the "inheritance" probably died because of this. The difference is probably that they died because they offended Charlotte on the first day, or they endured the care for a few days and then offended Charlotte when they ran away. die.

Charlotte used to be a sweet and kind girl.

Now she is a "weird" head controlled by obsession.

That "entrance" was also mutated because of her obsession, attracting a lot of weird and evil spirits, polluting it into a place like purgatory.

"It's time to be free."

When this thought appeared in his mind, Tang Qi's body suddenly began to change.

A record of five stages of "Crimson", plus the superimposition of "Illusion Curse".

In the brilliant light, inside Charlotte's rotten eyes, an unbelievable picture appeared:

A young figure that had repeatedly appeared in her dreams stood in front of her incomparably real.

This is a handsome and vigorous young man wearing a jacket, a white shirt, and short, soft, fluffy brown-black hair. He is also carrying an old suitcase that looked like it was popular decades ago. .

He smiled brightly at her, just like the heart-pounding first meeting decades ago, that afternoon with warm sunshine.

Surrounded by golden flames, Charlotte fell into a sluggish state with a foolish smile. The magic power of the furnace was burning her body little by little, but she didn't realize it. Her skinny paws held a photo frame, which contained A withered photo.

Charlotte and Ralph, the only photo of the two together, a fifteen-year-old girl standing on tiptoe, embracing a handsome young man.

Tang Qi sighed and walked past her to the back of the castle.

Just turned around the side hall and stepped into a dark and wide passageway, dozens of "weird" of all kinds, they crowded together, excited because they smelled the smell of fresh humans, among them were ghosts, monsters, and fallen humans , or terrifying unknown supernatural creatures.

Behind them, at the end, there is a wall.

There is a picture hanging on the wall. According to Liya's description, or Ralph's report, its original appearance, inside the painting is a weird, but beautiful and fantasy world, very illusory, like a carefree world. Fairy tale world.

But now, in the painting, there is only one woman.

Charlotte, or the completely distorted Charlotte, her body and limbs have been twisted and rotted, a head has become extremely huge, her eyes are full of obsession, her mouth is wide open, and there is a familiar silhouette.

Ralph, Ralph with a huge smile.

"call"

In the picture frame, flames emerged without warning.

The distorted Charlotte began to melt. Ralph, who was standing in her mouth, suddenly changed from a smile to a howl. His body melted bit by bit, turning into bright red blood, dripping down , flowing into a stream, flowing into Charlotte's mouth.

Charlotte's big mouth seemed to be closing gradually.

Seeing this scene, Tang Qi took a breath, and the magic power of the melting furnace that was surging in his body was released without hindrance. In an instant, a figure like a melting furnace crashed into the passage, and the dozens of monsters, dozens of pieces of fuel, could not Block his progress even for a second.

The golden spot of light fluttered with the black ashes, and a figure jumped up. When it touched the strange painting, it fell into the water like a "pebble". When the ripples came out, he was completely submerged in the water.

The picture frame was burned, the picture scroll inside was lifted, and everything was melting.

The dark red blood, the terrifying blackness, the distorted obsession...all were finally melted away in the golden flame.
