I Might As Well Quit This Lousy Wizard Profession

Chapter 97 - 97 090 Everything relies on witchcraft

?Chapter 97: 090 Everything relies on witchcraft! Chapter 97: 090 Everything relies on witchcraft! By the time Lin An returned from Doctor Zhang’s clinic, it was already dark. After coming home and freshening up, he lay quietly on his bed, exhaling wearily.

Recently, a series of events had happened one after another, as if unfolding each day, making him feel increasingly tense.

In the stillness of the night, his settled thoughts seemed to become more active.

Lin An’s gaze flickered as he lay in bed.

Suddenly, he turned his head towards the Ugly Head, trembled in shock, and cried out, “Ah ah ah, don’t eat me, don’t eat me, I don’t taste good!”

Lin An rolled his eyes, “You look quite unappetizing, it won’t happen.”

Moreover…

He actually didn’t quite believe what his masked self had said.

He wasn’t that foolish to believe whatever others said, it was important to observe a matter from various angles to make a final judgment.

“You say…”

“I’m really repressed and numb?”

“How would I know…” The head habitually claimed ignorance. Seeing Lin An’s eyes narrow, it hurriedly trembled, “Wu wu wu, I can’t go on like this. I feel like I could be eaten by you at any moment!”

“Then come closer and properly answer my question,” Lin An curved his mouth, knowing this thing remembered food but not the beating, and would definitely revert to its usual self tomorrow; he knew it too well.

“Alright, alright, I’ll tell you.” The head attempted to roll over from the edge of the bed, approaching Lin An nervously. Seeing that Lin An made no move, it finally relaxed, “Repressed and numb? How could that be?”

“Why do you say that?”

“Ha, have you forgotten? The Snake-tailed Cerberus you drew was to impress the boss in order to secure a part-time graphic designer position. You worked hard on that green-skin portrait for the game. You are the legend of striving, and yet you keep talking about ‘laying flat’.”

“You’re the most entangled person, with clear goals and dreams, knowing what you want and doing everything to strive and achieve it.”

“And there are too many more things.”

“Anyway, I don’t think you’re numb.”

“As for repressed, maybe a little, but it seems you have learned some pretty good ways to adjust your state of mind.”

Lin An squinted and nodded, “Hmm, learned from Yunjuan Yunshu. He, oh, I suspect that person might be Chen Shuyun, but it doesn’t matter, I don’t care who he is.”

“So, I don’t really agree with you saying I’m repressed and numb,” the head concluded.

“Yes…” Lin An’s eyes gleamed, “If repressed numbness doesn’t exist, then there wouldn’t be any ‘pursuit of excitement’ arising from a balanced mindset.”

“This spiritual energy is PUA-ing me!”

“It’s making me feel like I am ‘repressed and numb’!”

Lin An thought for a moment, turned over in bed, and in an instant, he transformed into a black cat.

The black cat turned its head to look at the head, its eyes deep, “Tell me, who am I?”

“You, who else could you be but Lin An,” the head grew impatient, “Can you not ask such idiotic questions!”

But its impatience quickly dissipated.

A giant cat paw gently rested on top of its head, “Tell me, am I spiritual energy?”

The head shuddered, “Spiritual energy my foot, you’re Lin An. Don’t think I won’t recognize you just because you’ve turned into a cat!”

“Even if you were reduced to ashes, I would recognize you!”

“Understood!”

Lin An’s eyes brightened, he turned over and lay back down on the bed, reverting to human form.

The corners of his mouth curled slightly, “I think I’ve figured out what that thing really is!”

Chen Shuyun had said before that many people couldn’t distinguish the properties of their emotions, leading to learning the wrong witchcraft.

And witchcraft, does it also have attributes?

If it does, could it also be interpreted according to the ‘Five Systems Theory of Joy, Anger, Sorrow, Thought, and Fear’ she described?

Lin An didn’t know, but he could try assuming it to be the case.

Then, he could come to a very interesting conclusion—the spiritual energy of the clown mask actually represented ‘repressed numbness’ and then exhibited the effect of ‘pursuit of excitement’.

Understanding this was very useful.

Because Lin An remembered some memories of the ‘Rabbit Masked Wizard’, which clearly showed repressed numbness!

And Doctor Zhang said that no two witchcrafts were exactly the same, yet the ‘Dizzy’ witchcraft he unleashed was identical to that of the ‘Rabbit Masked Wizard’!

That meant!

This wasn’t his own ‘repressed numbness’, it was the ‘repressed numbness’ of the ‘Rabbit Masked Wizard’!

Lin An might really possess a smidgen of talent.

He often heard some simple teachings from others and could figure out something on his own.

He rolled over, jumped out of bed, and quickly walked to the entrance where the lights were, turned on the light, and looked at himself in the mirror with a serious expression.

As he looked, in no time at all, his reflection in the mirror suddenly transformed into himself wearing a clown mask.

“I utilized the spirit of the ‘Rabbit Mask Wizard’ to perform Dizzy Witchcraft!”

“So the witchcraft is the effect of him casting the spell, not the effect of me casting it!”

“Just like the Witch-hunting Knight uses the Stone Treasure to mobilize Spiritual Energy, it shouldn’t affect the person himself!”

“Therefore, you are not my spirit, you are the spirit of the ‘Rabbit Mask Wizard’!”

Lin An said with certainty.

“Pfft~”
The clown mask spirit chuckled, then pointed at Lin An and burst out laughing, his laughter manic and wild, “What nonsense are you talking about!”

But Lin An just calmly looked at it, “I’m serious, that’s what I think.”

Just for a moment, the figure in the mirror suddenly began to distort.

Eventually, it transformed into the figure of a Weeble, gleaming in dark gold and tainted with black, filthy patterns, with only a clown mask-like face, both handsome and twisted, appearing at the front.

“Hahahaha, you guessed it!”

Lin An looked at it with a calm expression and lightly flicked his right hand, causing the red string wrapped around his arm to fall to the ground.

“Come out of the mirror, let’s have a proper talk.”

“Hahahaha, what to do, I’ve grown inside your heart, you’ve acquired my memory, and I’ve acquired yours,” the clown face laughed maniacally. “You can’t hit me!”

It shook excitedly, “I’ll slowly influence you, slowly change you, and then I’ll become you, but in the end, you will become me.”

“And then I will be revived~”
This was the first time Lin An had encountered the problem of aftereffects with a spirit. From the beginning of observation, communication, touching, devouring, and mobilizing for use, Lin An had finally touched the unfavorable aspects of the spirit.

But he wasn’t frightened by it. Knowing more, he could make better use of the spirit.

The spirit had always been the key to helping him accomplish everything.

A slight smirk curled at the corner of his mouth, and a fire of anger burned in his heart unknown when. With a unique smile on his face, he licked the corner of his mouth, “That means, baby, if I digest you, I’ll completely possess you, and then I’ll have your witchcraft?”

“Dizzy? Or more?”

“Right? It’s all because I learned witchcraft!”

“Right? Wizards become Sorcerer Zombies because of witchcraft! You appear in my heart gasping for survival in the form of a spirit, also because I used your Dizzy Witchcraft!”

“Hahahaha…good,” the clown-faced Weeble laughed wildly, its laughter suddenly turning into crying, “Yes, everything relies on witchcraft!”

It seemed to suddenly remember something and while crying, it began laughing again.

“I went completely mad after learning Dark Witchcraft, haha, yes, it’s after learning Dark Witchcraft that Spiritual Energy found its chance, and I began to step by step head towards becoming a demon.”

“I can’t believe I, a beginner, understood even less than you.”

“I can’t believe I’m only realizing now!”

“Wuu wuu wuu…”
Bang~
It suddenly distorted again, eventually turning into that ‘Rabbit Mask Wizard,’ only the mask on its face was no longer that of a rabbit but a clown.

It lunged forward, forcefully hitting the mirror, eyes wide as it stared at Lin An, “It was all the leader’s fault, he ruined us all!”

“He disguised himself as an exchange student, teaching everyone Dark Witchcraft, I know, only I know this secret!”

“Kill him and I won’t erode you anymore, I’ll teach you the Dizzy Witchcraft, let you digest me!”

“Deal?”

“No!” Lin An narrowed his eyes as he looked at it, his expression calm, “I won’t believe your words, I still choose to look for a way to kill you as more practical!”

“I’m telling the truth this time, really!”

Regrettably, no matter how much it yelled and screamed, crying and laughing, Lin An simply walked straight back to the bed.

Feeling good, he stretched languidly and blissfully lay down in bed, and after a while, he actually fell asleep.

Turning its head towards the mirror, the bed said, “Don’t be noisy; he’s gotten used to my disturbance, and his sleep quality has actually become surprisingly good. You’re only bothering me with all this noise!”

“Hahahaha…” The person in the mirror cried and laughed, eventually not being able to stand it anymore and returned to the form of a Weeble, mumbling madly, “Give me back my witchcraft~ Give me back my witchcraft~ Give me back my witchcraft…”

“Tsk~” Ugly Head listened to the strangely familiar words, and sighed with an ambiguous meaning.
