I took the tram slowly back to my living area in the dark. The tram in the evening was crowded with gentlemen who had just gotten off work. The workers couldn't even afford to take the tram. Those who lived nearby could walk back. If they lived far away, They would find a random place to lie down in the factory, and would also borrow clothes from other workers after get off work to use as bedding.
Fisher returned to his rental house a little tired. Martha had just cooked dinner. The delicious food in the restaurant aroused Fisher's appetite, and he couldn't wait to taste today's dinner. There was the sound of the radio in the room,
A bel canto lady was singing the praises of sailors out sailing.
"I'm Captain Black!"
"Cross the sea and fog and explore every corner of the world!"
"Gold and treasures are not my original wish, but amazing adventures are what I yearn for!"
"Come aboard with me, my darling, and write magnificent adventure poems with me!"
Fisher paused slightly while drinking the soup. If he remembered correctly, this song should have been written decades ago. It was to praise the first batch of adventurers who took a boat to explore the world.
Blake, the protagonist of this song, is also a real person. When all mankind stood on the coast and looked at the sea, he was ordered by the emperor to drive mankind's first pioneer ship into the mysterious and unknown ocean.
After more than ten years of adventure, he traveled around the entire Western Continent and accurately recorded the pirates and ocean currents around the Western Continent; he crossed the Southern Ocean and discovered the Southern Continent full of gold and treasures.
Therefore, Captain Blake is also known as the "original pioneer".
But that was decades ago. Now Blake is over a hundred years old and still alive, but Fisher hasn't heard anything about him for a long time. Fisher guessed that he has half a foot on the ground.
After entering the grave, he was sitting at home waiting for death to come.
"Fisher, I heard there will be a water outage on the street tomorrow. The people from the Public Affairs Bureau said there is a problem with the pipeline system. God bless you, do you think it is possible that the officials are using the tax money we pay to play golf...
Or was it something worse like gambling that caused our water to be shut off?"
The old man's words sometimes always have a natural sense of humor, but the truth is probably more or less the same. Fisher has seen the level of consumption in the Pink Pavilion today, but that guy Trundle often spends money there.
Fisher was the first one who didn't believe you when you said he didn't receive dirty money.
"It's very possible that the chairs in the Parliament are filled with bundles of Nario. Maybe people from the Plumbing Bureau are secretly going to the Parliament to steal money to repair the water pipes."
"Oh my god, why didn't they call me?"
Fisher smiled, but the door behind him suddenly opened, revealing a black-haired woman wearing a dark gauze skirt.
"Hey, Renee, you're back? I've been worried about you these days when you go out, and Fisher really doesn't care about you at all."
"He still cares about me... Wow, what does this taste like? It's so delicious! I'm going to starve to death, let me have a taste."
Fisher brought a bowl and spoon for Renee, and she sat next to Fisher with a faint fragrance, rubbing her hands with bright eyes, looking like a greedy person.
Fisher paused for a moment on the beautiful and smooth black hair on her head, but did not rush to ask her about her schedule in front of Martha.
Based on the known characteristics of Renee, the possibility of her being an immortal witch is very small.
First of all, even if the magic circuit has been growing, her huge magic power does not mean that she can be "immortal". Otherwise, Fisher's teacher Hailsham would not have almost died because of trying soul pointing magic. The power of the magic circuit
It is not completely unified with the body to some extent, and Renee's body is no different from other ordinary people.
Fisher, who had read the Soul Completion Manual, knew that the soul could not leave the body for a long time. Philon needed means to compress and retain the soul. Those demihuman souls that briefly appeared in the legend also needed to follow other demihumans back to the tribe for reincarnation.
reincarnation.
The probability that the immortal witch will use her soul to seize her body or keep reincarnating is very small, because every time she enters a new body, her soul will be "washed clean" and will not retain any of its previous characteristics. This seems to be an iron law of nature, governed by certain rules.
Take control.
Another major source of suspicion is the Hartbirds that Renee keeps spawning.
Fisher had conducted careful research on the Hart Birds before, but came to very few conclusions. The magic circuits of those Hart Birds were incomplete. It really looked like Renee's extra magic circuit gave birth to an incomplete one.
life is the same.
Renee told herself that she had a deep connection with those Hart birds and could control their behavior and use the magic left in them, but she could not enter their bodies because she did not know how to remove her soul from them.
Get it out of your own body.
Those Hart birds are more like part of Renee's external magic circuit, which is just an extra part of the magic circuit. There is nothing special about it, or even if there is, Renee didn't tell herself.
The question is, is Renee deceiving herself? The facts Fisher has observed from Renee so far correspond to what she told him. A witch has only one characteristic. If Renee's characteristic is
The magic power increases wirelessly, so how to explain the situation where Carona keeps regenerating?
Renee does not have such characteristics.
After dinner, Fisher and Renee returned to the room on the second floor. Fisher locked the door and closed the window. This cautious look made Renee, who was sitting on the sofa, smile evilly.
He stood up, tapped his lips with his finger and said,
"Ara, are you really too horny? If you call me back in such a hurry, you can't wait because you have nowhere to vent your desires... If it's Fisher, that's fine."
She blinked and raised her slender legs, as if to lure Fisher to attack.
Fisher's breathing quickened for a second, but he still looked away and got to the point of asking Renee to come back.
"I have been looking for the immortal witch. You know this."
"So you didn't ask me to come back to play..." Renee curled her lips and looked at Fisher, "I know, in the past few years, I have been helping you keep an eye out for witches with similar characteristics when I went out.
.What’s wrong, have you found the corresponding clues?”
Fisher looked straight at Renee, as if trying to find a flaw in her face, but in the end he found nothing.
"I found an artificial witch called the Immortal Witch in the Witch Research Association. He had a black hair implanted in his body. The black hair was found in the ruins. The witch has the ability to regenerate without death.
And he is still alive in the world now.”
Renee touched her chin and nodded, looking up at Fisher,
"So, I did hear that there are many ancient ruins over there in Kadu. Because before the technological revolution, their religion did not allow them to destroy and mine indiscriminately, so many things have been preserved. You can tell me the address. I will
Go to Kadu and I'll help you find clues or something."
"Renee, does that hair have anything to do with you?"
Fisher did not answer her words, but asked seriously, "Is there anything you are hiding from me?"
"Huh? No, are you suspecting that I am the witch who left a hair in the ruins? Do you suspect that I am an immortal old monster, or do you think I have other characteristics that I have not told you? Please
, after I lied to you before and you found out, I stopped lying and told you everything."
"I promise, if I lie to you, the Mother Goddess I believe in will punish me with the most severe punishment..."
Renee stuck out her tongue and pointed at Fisher with a cute look.
She blinked and looked at Fisher, only to find that his expression was motionless and he was still looking at her seriously.
Renee opened her mouth, and her cute expression slowly faded, gradually turning into a look of disbelief. She seemed to sense that Fisher was really doubting her and suspecting that she had deceived her. There was an obvious sense of distrust.
Captured by Renee.
Renee slowly lowered her hand, and her breathing gradually became faster. She looked straight at Fisher with disbelief in her eyes, her beautiful lips pursed, and her voice trembled a little,
"You...don't believe me? Do you think I've been lying to you?"
Fisher hasn't answered yet, but Renee seems to have already gotten the answer.
She looked at Fisher with some sadness, stood up after hesitating, and walked out the door without saying a word. She quickly walked back, only to see her silently carrying a knife from the kitchen and coming back again.
Lock the door.
"Look! Oh..."
Fisher suddenly stood up and wanted to grab her blade, but she dodged it. She stretched out her left hand to Fisher, gritted her teeth and held the blade in her hand, and she held it tightly with her hand.
The pain from the blade traveled upwards along her path, making her frown unbearably, but still remained silent.
"Renee!"
Fisher took the bloody knife from her hand, and the blade fell to the ground, shaking off a few drops of hot blood. Renee's palm continued to seep blood, but she faced Fisher directly.
He stretched out his hand, his expression did not change, he didn't say a word, he just looked straight at Fisher.
Although she didn't say anything, her purple eyes trembled slightly because of the pain, and even her eye sockets turned red.
The teasing tone had completely disappeared. She was very serious, but at the same time she became extremely aggrieved by Fisher's suspicion, as if she was questioning why you could doubt yourself so naturally.
It's obvious that I've told everything, it's obvious that I've done this to you...
The wound in her hand kept bleeding, but there was no sign of rapid healing. Drops of blood fell on the ground, but Renee just looked at Fisher, as if to prove to him that she was not lying.
he.
"That's what you are! I've told you everything. I didn't lie to you. I've been helping you find the witch! I haven't lied to you since I got to know you. You can doubt it even with a single hair.
I lied to you and made me think that you asked me to come back because you missed me. It’s a shame that I rushed back in such a hurry!”
"Why do you think I stay with you? Why do you think I left my clothes in your car? Do you think I traveled half a continent and flew to the Southern Continent to sit on a boat with you for a month?
What is it for? You idiot! Liar! Scumbag! I hate you the most! Fisher! Ugh..."
As she spoke, her red eyes kept shedding tears, and tears fell down her usually playful and evil face. At this moment, Fisher, who had never seen her other expressions, saw her for the first time.
The witch shed tears.
She cried in grievance and wanted to wipe her tears, but when she reached out her hand, she found that her left hand was full of blood, so she had to stretch out her right hand to wipe it.
