?Chapter 188: 174 Really good…… (asking for monthly votes)_2 Chapter 188: 174 Really good…… (asking for monthly votes)_2 “What?” Chen Shuyun exclaimed again, “Wait a minute, you’re saying you’ve established an organization, and now you already have subordinates?”
In the past, when she had looked down upon Shenhou City with her identity as ‘Ghost Face,’ although her memories were not very clear anymore, she still had some insights, right?
This was happening too fast, wasn’t it?
“Mm.” Lin An didn’t say much more.
“Where are you…”
Chen Shuyun’s reliability far exceeded Lin An’s expectations. Not long after hanging up the phone, a carriage engulfed in flames suddenly burst out from the depths of the alley.
Yes, a carriage.
A horse with a skeleton wreathed in bluish mist, its body emitting orange flames, galloped along with the reins covering the carriage behind it.
The carriage was extremely fast and soon rushed out of the alleyway, stopping beside Lin An.
Sitting sideways on the driver’s seat of the carriage, Chen Shuyun gave Lin An a sweet smile, imitating her sister’s gesture with a cool flip of her hair, “Get in!”
“Wow~” Lin An stared at the carriage, dumbfounded, and then at the flaming horse, exclaiming, “I really know nothing about the Supernatural World. What kind of horse is this?”
“Heehee~” Chen Shuyun laughed a bit smugly and somewhat sheepishly, “It’s not some monster, just a type of ‘Mimicry Witchcraft.’ It’s conjured by witchcraft.”
Lin An raised his eyebrows, hopped on, and thoughtfully took a seat on the other side of the driver’s compartment.
At that moment, a city sanitation small electric vehicle drove into the alley and stopped. An old man got off the vehicle and started rummaging through the trash bin in the alley for bottles and cardboard.
This old man was right next to the carriage!
“She can’t see us?” Lin An looked at Chen Shuyun in astonishment.
Chen Shuyun nodded happily, “Mm, I specifically learned this concealment witchcraft. I hid in your closet several times before, and even once under your quilt. It was so awkward. But with this, I no longer need to hide inside.”
Show off~
Lin An raised his eyebrows.
This witchcraft was clearly not as simple as Chen Shuyun had described, because the street in front was still under the coverage of the Red Light Purgatory World, yet she drove in without any hesitation.
Proudly driving along the city streets.
Cars flowed endlessly, sometimes shuttling through the phantom image of the carriage, and even during a turn, Lin An watched as countless pedestrians crossed the zebra crossing, passing right through them.
Not only was Lin An stunned.
The three Wizards were also stunned.
Although they couldn’t enter the Purgatory World, they could see the impact of the fights caused by those big shots not far away, buildings collapsing with a bang, and tens of tons of dirt and dust flying up.
Standing under the precarious walls, they could be dragged back into the Purgatory World by the Witch-hunting Knights at any moment, only to be inadvertently killed in the process.
Everyone was scared, but Lin An had told them to wait there. The old man and the middle-aged man discussed it and, despite their hesitation, decided to stay.
The Caidai Witch did not hesitate and resolutely stood her ground.
They soon saw a carriage ablaze with flames charging from the opposite side of the street.
When it reached them, the side window of the carriage suddenly transformed into a small staircase, Lin An looked back at them from the front seat and said, “Get in!”
In an instant, all three widened their eyes in shock.
As Wizards, and having been members of ‘Mad Wizard’s Tree Hole’ organization for so long, what peculiar and bizarre things hadn’t they seen?
Hey, such a horse, such a carriage, they had never seen before! They had never even heard of it!
Lin An, this boss, is looking ever more mysterious!
The carriage door closed, and Chen Shuyun drove the carriage straight toward the yoga studio, piercing through residential buildings, shopping malls, amusement parks, and even speeding across the surface of a lake.
The speed kept increasing, the surroundings growing ever blurrier.
On the way, Chen Shuyun looked at her sister from the Purgatory World with concern but also habitually refrained from causing her any trouble.
She couldn’t help much anyway, always bringing trouble to her sister, so she was used to not meddling in her sister’s affairs.
She…
Was no longer the ghost-faced person she was back then.
Now she was just a weak chicken, lurking in the corners, struggling to survive.
Living as if she weren’t alive at all.
She was estranged from her past self, who had been one step away from becoming a Sorcerer Zombie, raging within her, tormenting her.
Stirring up some of the most primal emotions in her heart, provoking her.
Murderous and violent urges, primordial desires, self-destruction, self-loathing…
Attempting to take over her, to become her.
“If it weren’t for me…” Chen Shuyun sighed sadly, turned her head to look at Lin An beside her, “Sister would definitely be much more relaxed.”
Lin An lowered his head to gaze at the little squirrel perched on his knees, pursed his lips, and remained silent.
The path of a wizard is so difficult, everyone is just fumbling along in the dark, Lin An’s eyes reflecting the carriage’s flames, sparkling.
Chen Shuyun soon broke free from this ‘self-loathing’ and, with some embarrassment, pushed her hair behind her ear, “This witchcraft is a bit hard to control, and seeing sister fighting, I couldn’t help, my spirit slackened, and I almost entered the Lin Daiyu state again.”
She obviously didn’t want to delve into this and asked curiously again about the organization Lin An had formed.
It’s quite strange, Lin An seems very relaxed in front of this witch.
Perhaps there is no need for interplay based on interests, nor a need for cognitive information strategies between them. Chen Shuyun’s questions actually made Lin An start to ponder his true desires.
Stemming from a yearning within oneself.
Not as a response to circumstances nor as something said for development’s sake.
“The Supernatural World is too desperate, I need some assistants, companions, and a place to settle down,” Lin An said, somewhat nostalgically.
“We are always looking for our place in this world, when I was an ordinary person, my dream was to own a house, not too big, but a real place of my own in this world,” he said, a smile emerging on his face.
“No matter what I encountered outside, the moment I returned home, I felt instantly relaxed, and my soul was at peace.”
“With an organization, there are others like me, people who will fight desperately to protect this home. That would really make my heart less tired.”
“Of course, beyond the desire for a home, I also yearn for the possibilities of the future.”
“With the convergence of people comes the convergence of wisdom; I hope that this organization will evolve into an academy, where everyone exchanges ideas and conducts research together.”
“The path ahead is unclear, and everyone is clinging to their torches, together illuminating a shining path.”
“Perhaps it will never reach the land of freedom, but it’s enough to ensure that we are not lonely on this journey,” he said.
Chen Shuyun and the little squirrel on Lin An’s lap made the same move, holding their legs with both hands, resting their chins on their knees, tilting their heads to listen to Lin An’s narration, murmuring, “That sounds wonderful…”
