Chapter 296: Major Family Events III: Night of the Witch (Part 11)_2
The Lost Witch withdrew her gaze, slowly saying:
"He really is a madman… a genuine madman… But it seems, you are not on their side?"
She knew all too well that since both personalities in the hallway caused even Ke Mingye himself to feel fear… and they must be left outside the door, there was no doubt that the weakness of this psychic world was placed upon these two personalities.
Which meant that as long as she could persuade them, then she would have the chance to shatter Ke Mingye's psychic world.
"You've been ostracized outside the classroom, staying here in the hallway with this monster, do you not feel sad?"
With that, the Lost Witch cast her eyes down to the red-eyed boy outside the barrier, her gaze flashing with a trace of disgust.
The boy in the patient outfit remained silent, with his gaze lowered, continuing to read his book.
At this moment, the psychic barrier set by the Lost Witch was nearing collapse. The red-eyed monster opened its mouth, gnawing at her barrier with its teeth as cracks inch by inch began to spread, twisting the monster's face as well.
"A true, undeniable monster…"
The Lost Witch muttered to herself, her tone unable to hide her disgust.
Then she slowly lifted her head, turned her face, and once again looked towards Ke Mingye inside the classroom.
Ke Mingye gently stroked Xiaohongmao's golden hair before lifting his gaze slightly.
Separated by the classroom window, he and the Lost Witch locked eyes.
Seeing the spider-like boy drawing closer from the corner of her eye, the Lost Witch did not show fear or panic, instead, she lightly curled her lips into a subtle smile.
Her amber eyes stared at Ke Mingye.
She knew that separated by this pane of glass, she couldn't hear the sounds from within the classroom; similarly, the personalities within could not hear her.
Then, the Lost Witch opened her mouth and silently spoke in lip language to Ke Mingye: "Futile… Even if I cannot shake your psychic world, you are no match for me in the real world. As soon as I leave here, you will be like a turtle trapped in a jar."
Ke Mingye calmly looked back at her.
His lips slightly parted, also responding to her without a sound.
"Is that so… Then why don't you step out and see for yourself what the 'reality' you speak of is like now?"
Upon hearing this, the Lost Witch was slightly startled.
Although she doubted Ke Mingye's words and thought he was just bluffing, the barrier set to stop the red-eyed boy was on the brink of shattering. She no longer continued to contend with Ke Mingye in this damned place but instantly disengaged from his psychic world and returned to the real world.
....
.....
Meanwhile, in reality.
Inside the statue space, the light was dim all around, with only the candlelight faintly flickering.
The Lost Witch slowly opened her eyes, then took a slight pause, and at this moment, huge ghost light tentacles tinged with a dark luminescence were writhing around her, completely encasing her body with precise seams, leaving only her head exposed for her to barely breathe.
Staring at those twisted, bizarre tentacles, the Lost Witch was in a daze for quite a while, soon recognizing whose handiwork this was:
—The Sloth Witch.
"...Why?"
She murmured in surprise, lifting her eyes to Ke Mingye slumped on the ground and Xiaohongmao, who stood motionless with hollow eyes, as both of their eyes slowly regained luster.
Then footsteps came from the shadows at the entrance, and a figure in a dark purple tattered long dress, with bat-like wings upon her back, walked out from there.
In her hand, she held a whip-shaped magic wand, her eyes glowed strangely as her mouth drew up high in the dark, nearly reaching her ears.
"If I had the time, I would really love to discipline you... Lost Witch."
Staring at the Lost Witch, the Sloth Witch spoke almost painstakingly.
"Traitor."
The Lost Witch stared at her face, her gaze gradually turning cold, defiantly spitting out the word at her.
No matter how much she struggled, she couldn't escape the ghost light tentacles that ensnared her body.
The ghost light tentacles had an effect that suppressed magic power, and for both magical girls and witches alike, they were incredibly effective. Consequently, her abilities were now thoroughly sealed.
Even for a witch who had lived for a hundred years, in such a situation, she was nothing more than a mere mortal, utterly ordinary.
The Sloth Witch drew out her voice, mockingly saying: "How can you call me a 'traitor'... Is there a possibility that I was never one of you to begin with?"
Upon hearing this, the Lost Witch was stunned for quite some time, then lifted her amber eyes, staring at Lan Ou with venom.
"I see... So the Sloth Witch is yours? You really do have an unassailable plan."
Lan Ou adjusted his helmet to make sure it did not reveal his face beneath to Shi Neian, then lifted his head to look at the Lost Witch.
"You're certain she is our person, could it be she's lost her mind?"
He said sarcastically.
"Is it not the case?" the Lost Witch sneered back.
Ke Mingye rolled his eyes, thinking to himself, and responded accurately that she is Kobe's person.
"Lost Witch, what are you talking about?"
The Sloth Witch cupped her face with both hands, her cheeks flushing as she licked her lips and slowly spoke.
"It's just that I've wanted to discipline you witches for a long time. I've tried disciplining magical girls, but never laid a hand on a witch, and congratulations to you, you'll soon become my first target. Let's thoroughly enjoy this."
