Lord of Enigma

Chapter 32: The Witch of Misfortune



Without any warning, panic completely occupied Tang Qi's mind at this moment.

With no reason at all, but purely out of instinct.

Like the feelings produced when a weak, fragile living being encountered a more advanced form of being.

The moment after Tang Qi was reborn at Origin Blue Star, he had faced — himself as a demon, the evil soul-exchange ceremony, and the old black man who possessed witchcraft. Afterward, Tang Qi had also killed people and supernatural monsters, including an existence at the level of the Dugong sea monster.

But under any of those circumstances, Tang Qi had never had such a feeling.

When he and Sally in the mirror looked at each other, the surrounding environment changed greatly, just like an inverted mirror image; the small fitting room became countless pieces of glass that moved and reassembled quickly before finally changing back into the real room.

The only thing unreal was that Mrs. Hudson seemed to have been frozen at the moment that she took off the glasses.

She stayed still in place and smiled lightly, seeming to be satisfied with her new work. But Tang Qi couldn't feel her heartbeat.

Was she dead?

Or was she not in this world anymore?

In that huge floor mirror, the two were still looking at each other.

But Tang Qi could no longer see any trace of the original Sally in those eyes, like… it was a whole different person.

"Who are you?"

Tang Qi slowly put down the book in his hand and said with some bitterness in his mouth.

Blood Python No.1 was pinned to the lower back by Tang Qi.

There was a box of furnace bullets in the left pocket of the jacket.

In the right pocket of his trousers was a box of sea monster bullets.

In the lining at the chest was a red drop of sea monster's tears.

Even if he faced the Dugong sea monster again, Tang Qi was confident he could kill it quickly.

But right now, Tang Qi made no movement at all.

Not that he did not want to, but he was unable to.

A terrible pressure was now pressing down on Tang Qi, and the action of putting down the book almost exhausted all his strength.

The only thing Tang Qi could do now was to keep his eyes open and let the terrible coercion madly consume the power in his body, and not falling down and admitting defeat.

When asking that question, two scenes completely different from reality already came into Tang Qi's eyes. Two special interfaces also appeared in Tang Qi's eyes at this time.

Sally changed.

She was still in that same body; just that the previous shrunken, shy character had disappeared. In the pair of eyes that looked at Tang Qi, there was an unbridled blatantness, arrogance of contempt for all, and a kind of charm that would make any man feel an impulse to kneel down.

Wisps of gray and black mist that could not be seen by the naked eye continuously flowed out of Sally's body, turning the little fitting room into an exotic state. The fairy-like golden and white dress on her also gradually darkened into black.

The garland above her head not only didn't wither but instead bloomed dark flowers that were full of strange charm. They were so beautiful that one couldn't move one's eyes away.

If the previous Sally was a beautiful fairy girl who took one's breath away, Sally right now was a witch girl who seduced one into submission.

Tang Qi's special ability confirmed his suspicion.

The special interface that popped out first was from the pair of exaggerated black-framed glasses.

[Wonder: Glasses That Sealed Misfortune]

[Information Fragment 1: This is a pair of glasses that gained supernatural power after being blessed by the gypsy witch leader. It can seal the powers of misfortune and return this poor girl to ordinariness.]

[Information Fragment 2: When the girl is wearing it, it cannot be sensed by supernatural powers.]

The information fragments contained in the black-framed glasses were very simple, and Tang Qi was already shocked.

The interface seen from Sally made Tang Qi both amazed and regretful.

He didn't expect that he would do a bad deed out of good intentions.

In the past, the interfaces shown for the opponents he faced all said "supernatural creature".

But this time, it was different.

In the line of characters that Tang Qi saw at one glance, the word "goddess" appeared to his shock.

[Exotic Goddess: Witch of Misfortune]

[Status: Sub-personality]

[Information Fragment 1: A Witch of Misfortune from another plane divided her magic powers and sent each portion into different worlds in order to break through her limits. Sally who was still a baby received the portion sent to Origin Blue Star.]

[Information Fragment 2: Sally's family members all died because of the powers of the misfortune magic. At the last moment, the head of the gypsy witches who was passing by sent her own power into the black-framed glasses left behind by Sally's father. It could seal up the misfortune magic for at least one hundred years.]

[Information Fragment 3: With the advent of the spirit tide, cracks appeared on the seal of the glasses, and removing the glasses gave the Witch of Misfortune sub-personality formed because of the magical powers an opportunity to break out.]

[Information Fragment 4: Since the Witch of Misfortune sub-personality shares one body with Sally, she needed external help before she could completely take control of this body and help the original witch break through the limit of godhood by taking advantage of the opportunity brought by the return of the spirit tide.]

Buzz.

When the fourth information fragment was seen by Tang Qi, a ray of hope almost emerged in Tang Qi's eyes. He exhausted all his remaining strength to bow down his head in an instant and prevented the witch sub-personality in Sally's body from seeing it.

Now, Tang Qi finally understood what he did.

He wanted to give a gift to Sally, only to accidentally reveal the biggest, darkest secret in Sally.

Witch of Misfortune!

These words perfectly explained all the unlucky experiences Sally had since a young age and the reason that the people around her also met ill luck.

Even with more than half of the powers of misfortune sealed away by the glasses, the traces and bits leaked out were enough to produce a reputation of "Unlucky Sally".

If there was no accident, the glasses would have continued to seal the magic of misfortune until Sally died naturally at an old age, and that magic would also return to the plane of the Witch of Misfortune without causing any major impact on the Origin Blue Star.

Of course, it was also possible that with the return of the spirit tide, the glasses would fail before that, and the completed personality of the witch, once it was born, would get rid of Sally's weak personality and gain control of the body so that a Witch of Misfortune would be born in this world, which was about to change drastically.

Tang Qi couldn't predict what big events would happen then.

And he didn't need to predict, because all these were accidentally interrupted by Tang Qi.

The glasses were taken off, and facing Tang Qi now was the alter ego that was still forming but accidentally released… the Witch of Misfortune.

Tang Qi bowed his head, hiding the emotions in his eyes. All the strength in his body was used to resist the magical powers filling this small fitting room, though it was of little use. Tang Qi could even feel that with one thought by the Witch of Misfortune, his fragile body would be completely broken up.

Click, click.

The previous Sally walked in heels with extreme difficulty, but right now, what Tang Qi saw at the corner of his eyes was a figure full of immense glamour, as charming as a fairy of the dark, who walked step by step to Tang Qi; a pale finger slowly lifted up Tang Qi's chin.

Then, Tang Qi saw the perfect face again and a pair of pupils that were blue in color but gradually turning dark and pervading a gray, mysterious atmosphere. Tang Qi only felt that his soul was about to slide into a special world.
