Chapter 10 Darkness(1/2)

Farosha stopped Xu Yang and groped for the darkness around her.

The underground world has a complex environment, full of strange rocks. It took a few minutes before she found a crack in the rock that several people can live in. It is extremely concealed and dull.

Xu Yang took out the military rations found on the shuttle and shared them. Farosa tried hard to tear the packaging apart, and a pile of food and ingredients fell out of it, which scared her.

"Is this a candy bag?" Farosa carefully distinguished the contents. "So many amazing things fell out. It's hard to imagine that people in this era survived by eating these things, without any fragrance, and were still hard."

Xu Yang looked at the clumsy Farosa and couldn't help but think of her value and potential.

Her power is terrifying, and she has been sleeping for thousands of years and has the complete memory of the Witch Age. Such a super ancient witch will either become a huge hope to lead the transformation of the entire world, or it will become the ultimate nightmare to destroy the world.

After the company defeated the witch, there were many witches who went wild. They were too strong, broke free from the shackles and killed them. The witches were still the thing that the company feared the most, but they could always be born from simple breeding activities of humans. Even IVF could turn into witches, with no rules at all.

The company is neither willing nor has the means to completely exterminate the witches. Moreover, they have great scientific research and commercial value. Capital has its own unique vision. The starting point of all decisions is to increase its value and obtain profits. Therefore, capital is unwilling to let the witches exterminate, and it is mainly controlled by the witches.

When getting along with Farosa, Xu Yang was inevitably a little worried.

He doesn't have the company's means to control the witch.

It is a bit too much to describe Farosa using human-shaped nuclear weapons, but he is now living with a human-shaped monster at least.

Want to change the status quo? Let’s live with her first.

"Do you just want to eat this kind of thing to live?" Farosa poked a pack of hard beef stewed.

"I'll do it." Xu Yang came to his senses, looked at the instructions on the outer packaging, and quickly figured out how to eat these rations.

He stuffed the beef stewed package into a soft pocket, and a flameless heater was already reserved inside. He tore the water bag open, added the water, and tied the soft pocket tightly.

As the chemical reaction progresses, the soft pockets gradually become hot.

"You can eat it in a while," said Xu Yang. "There are other things here."

He shone the flashlight on the ground. There were many of the scattered foods that were ready to eat. He picked them up and stuffed them to Farosa. As soon as she got them, she peeled them off and ate them.

“This is a chocolate bar.”

“Hard.”

“Vegetable biscuits.”

“Salty.”

“Cheese bread.”

“Sour.”

“Corne cake.”

“This is tasteless.”

"candy."

“So sweet.”

“Mayonnaise and peanut butter can be used for…”

"Why is it gone in one bite? I still want it."

This guy eats everything.

Xu Yang took out the heated stewed beef from his soft pocket, tore off the opening, and handed it to Farosa.

She licked the taste of the soup, then poured out all the beef slices and beef brisket inside and ate them.

Farosa showed a strange look on her face.

"It's amazing!" she declared, "just like attending a magician's banquet, except that the food comes out not from the beaks, rabbit top hats and dragon wings, but from some paper and hot water."

"Just be happy."

"I forgot... it's clear that you should eat something."

"I eat very quickly."

Xu Yang has developed the habit of fast food in the company, and has been like this day and night for 6 years.

He saw that there was indeed nutritional ointment in the mercenaries' battlefield food, so he opened it and ate it.

Nutritional paste is a unified taste all over the world, that is, it is tasteless and has no taste, but it will feel full soon, which is the key to improving efficiency.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the most important invention of food science. It is nutritious and low-cost. As long as you don’t dig into what it is made of.

Xu Yang suddenly realized that there must be something here that Farosa could not eat in ancient times, so she gave her a bag of liquid coffee.

"This is called coffee," said Xu Yang. "It was only available after the discovery of the Agave Island."

"What is this...oh!" Farosa quickly finished a bag of coffee, and some star-like light spots appeared in her eyes. "The power seemed to have recovered a little."

This was something Xu Yang did not expect. He was not very familiar with the mechanism of the witch.

Now he saw that Farosa had light on both hands, one hand was as bright as blood, and the other hand was as gray as dream.

"Recovered..." Farosa murmured.

The witch returns.

Xu Yang stood up and leaned against the rock wall.

Farosha silently looked at the traces on her hands and turned to Xu Yang: "Are you afraid that I will kill you?"

A completely cold tone.

There is a world of difference between witches and humans. To them, humans are not the same. Witches killing humans is as natural as humans hunting wild animals.

Xu Yang had known this for a long time, but experiencing such things personally made him feel cold.

fear.

It feels like walking on thin ice, even if you move it a little, it will cause a catastrophe.

Xu Yang stared at Farosa's eyes, as if facing an unknown ferocious beast in the deep sea, with her hair standing on her back.

It was too easy for her to kill those mercenaries. Even if she had received professional training, the biochemical warriors who had been transformed all over her body could not do so neatly.

"Ha," Farosha laughed relaxed again, "Your death is all bad for me, so I won't kill you."

"This is really the most utilitarian explanation."

"Only utilitarian arguments can convince you," said Farosa. "You don't believe in the real emotions that can arise between the witch and humans. I treat humans the same as tools and animals."

Farosa looked at Xu Yang calmly, and for a moment he realized Farosa's meaning again-she really had no malice.

There is no deep hatred between us and we have a basis for cooperation.

He packed up his stuff and shone the flashlight outward.

"I heard that some mental stimulation will restore the witch's power," said Xu Yang, "but I'm not familiar with it."

Just as he was about to set off, Farosha caught up again and grabbed Xu Yang's hand.

"If you are so alert," she said, "Let us use the miracle of the pledge."

"The miracle of the pledge?"

"A power that cannot betray." Farosa silently recited the miracle, the air twisted, and the light turned into a golden talisman. There were several marks on it, but once it was summoned, the traces were all eliminated.

"There are other traces..."

"There are the witches who made vows with me in the past. The traces disappeared, which means that they were all dead and their magic could not escape their lifespan. And you are the first mortal to share the vows with me."

She pressed her hand onto the golden rune, and one of the marks expanded to the shape of a cat.

"These are miracles designed by the Sons of the Beast long ago before their demise," said Farosa. "They trade their souls to the Lord of the Forest, forming these eternal runes. Those who share the same oath cannot betray each other, nor can they harm each other, otherwise they will be devoured by the Lord of the Forest."

"Lord of the Forest? Does that thing still exist now? It will not perish with the cutting of trees."

"It is something that breathes with the earth and the sky. The miracle I can summon is evidence. Its palace is hidden beyond human cognition, and only dreaming children and older widows can touch it."

“It’s amazing.”

"It's amazing to put anything in my era. I've eaten a goblin. What animals do you like? Put your hands on it and the marks will become the animal that is most suitable for you."

Xu Yang put his hand on the rune.

There was an additional mark on the rune, which extended and looked like a soaring bird.

"Flying birds." Xu Yang said.

"Bird? I see it looks like a goose or a swan."

"And you are a cat, cats are naughty."

"I like anyone who doesn't follow the rules."

After the marks were formed, Xu Yang looked at Farosa and indeed felt a strange feeling in his heart.

It seemed that there was some kind of mandatory bond that restricted him from doing all kinds of harm to Farosa.

"Let it all work," said Farosa solemnly, "Let us share the same vows, just like the same will connect us, we will never face each other, we will never be slander, we will never betray, and we will never pass on secrets."

"This thing must not be obtained by the company." Xu Yang said, "If it is impossible to defect to the company."

“It’s a power that’s not easy to control,” Farosa said. “The organization you call a company doesn’t necessarily like it, it can bring people together unprecedentedly.”
