C16 Situ Pengcheng 1

In the dizziness, the witch had a dream, a sweet nightmare.

Ever since her fiancé became a black fish, the witches' engagement was opposed by everyone. In order to avoid this pressure, the witch decided to move to a place a little further away from the village.

Although the villagers did not approve of the witch's actions, they also understood. They only occasionally sent people to persuade her, hoping that she would change her mind.

Days passed by as the witch attempted to undo the curse for the black fish. It gradually became a peaceful daily life until one day, a man who sent resources from the village changed everything.

This man was the son of the village chief. Because he had solved many problems outside the village, everyone called him a smart person.

The man had long golden hair, fair skin, and a handsome face. He liked to wear clothes that were dyed yellow, giving people a very bright impression. Moreover, his attitude towards the villagers was amiable, giving people the feeling of a spring breeze. Thus, he was also known as the sun's child.

This man took care of the relationship between the villages outside the village for many years. Occasionally, he would bring back new wisdom and magic to the people. When he returned to the village this time, he was very shocked when he heard the news of the witch and her fiancé, so he went to pay a visit.

"I was very surprised to hear that Grau had turned into a fish, so I came to pay my respects."

"Thank you for your concern. Please come in."

The witch invited the man in and took the items that he brought. They were herbs, oil, salt, and so on. They could not be self-sufficient.

"I just didn't expect that the boy who followed my big brother before leaving the village would make an engagement with the most popular girl in the village, but now he has become a fish. The will of the gods is truly unfathomable."

"What do you mean?"

The witch looked at the man's slightly regretful expression and felt slightly uneasy. She thought of her family from a few days ago. She also used this kind of considerate expression as a pretense and used a warm attack to force her to change her mind, so she was somewhat wary of this most powerful man in the village.

"I don't have any special intentions."

"Didn't you come to persuade me to give up on Gru?"

"I didn't mean that."

"Really?"

Of course, Gru is like a brother to me. Even if he turns into a fish, it won't change anything to me.

The doubts hidden in the witch's question were completely revealed in front of the man. The man could not help but laugh at such a silly question. He walked closer to the pool and looked at the black fish inside.

"You see, Gray doesn't have to work to eat now. He doesn't have to worry about the war outside, nor does he have to worry about the wild beasts. Doesn't fish also have benefits?"

"Are you really not against me being with Grau?"

The witch did not have much confidence in the man's guarantee over and over again, so she continued to ask.

"There's nothing to object. This is your choice, isn't it? I'm just a little jealous that this little brother has such a good girl to accompany him."

Facing the witch's question, the man reached out his hand to touch the witch's head as he spoke. He said to her with a gratified expression, "Most of the children in the village were raised by your sister and me. The boys are under my control. The girls are under her control, so if there are any difficulties, you must tell them. Even if you grow up, you won't be an exception, alright? "

The witch was caught off guard by the man's actions, so she could only nod her head with an embarrassed red face.

"I'll come over to take a look the next time I leave the village. If you need anything, you have to say it, understand?"

The man was busy. Even if he returned from another place, he would not have the chance to rest. Thus, after a short visit, he left, leaving the witch standing outside the door, quietly watching his back.

The man left like the sun, but the witch did not wake up because of this. The dream continued.

The days seemed to have passed, and the man seemed to have come and gone many times to the witch's residence. No one knew whether this feeling was real or fake. Everything was so clear and hazy in the dream.

There was no cause and effect. In the second scene of the dream, the witch dreamed of a blonde and cool man visiting her and Blackfish's residence. The two of them sat outside and chatted. No one knew what they were talking about at the beginning, but the witch seemed to ask the man a question:

"Brother, what kind of person do you like?"

"If you really want to say... it should be someone like you."

"What does that mean?"

No matter how beautiful the flowers are, they will wither with time. I believe that if there is truly something beautiful, it must be the human heart. And your love for Gru has allowed me to see true beauty. If it is someone like you, I will be very happy to accept it. "

The man's answer made the witch's heart beat faster. A strange feeling of depression and gloominess kept spreading in her heart. She could not remember how she responded to the man's answer. She only remembered that the man seemed to have left after she came back to her senses and returned to a very busy position as usual.

The witch stared at the setting sun in a daze. However, the setting sun did not sink. Instead, it gradually rose. As the sun hung high in the sky, the blond man came from the direction of the village.

This time, the witch asked the man another question.

"Big brother, are you getting married?"

"Yes, the former contractor passed away due to illness and was busy with work, so he didn't get married again."

"Then why is he getting married now?"

"It is an engagement with the daughter of the neighboring village chief. Not only will I marry the daughter of the other party, my sister will also marry the other party's son. In this way, the two villages will no longer have to fight over the water source on the mountain."

"Aren't you going to refuse? This kind of marriage won't be happy, right?"

"No problem. The other party's daughter is also a good person. I believe that even if I become a fish, she will take care of me for the rest of my life. " So you don't have to worry about me. "

The man's words brought about a strong sense of disharmony in the witch's ears. She felt that it was difficult to concentrate on the conversation in front of her, and then she felt the space and time distort again.

Without realizing it, the dream was pushed to the fourth scene. At some point, a tall and strong man wearing the fur of a wild beast stood in front of the witch.

"The young village chief will be very busy before he goes to marry the daughter of the village chief of the neighboring village, so he specifically told me to come and see what you need."

"He... Is he leaving?"

... "In a few days."

"Yes, it's like this..."

A sense of loss spread inside the witch's body, as if other than the blond man who was about to go on a long journey. Suddenly, an impulse enveloped her body, urging her to chase after him.

"Chase after it? No, I can't chase after it. This is an unloyal action. Furthermore... there is no point in chasing after it..."

The witch tried to deny the impulse that came from her body, and she began to mutter to herself.

"I like Gru!"

"I love Gru!"

I have to be with Gru no matter what. This is the result of my hard work. "

The witch felt the impulse in her body slowly fade away as she shouted at herself. She successfully rejected the hidden currents in her body.

However, at this moment, the big man who was sent by the man stood by the pool and said to her in a frivolous tone:

"I say, why are you holding onto this big stupid fish and not letting it go? Actually, you can have a better place to belong."

The big man's ordinary words caused the witch's calm mood to stir again. She had heard this kind of words many times, but she had never felt so furious like now. Inexplicably, she couldn't help but spit out her resentment.

"Let me tell you! I like Gru! I love Gru! I will give up everything for the sake of loving him. Is this something a person like you can understand? You don't understand anything! You don't understand anything! "Don't use that tone to talk to me!"

Wait! Calm down. " Fine, I said the wrong thing. "

The big man didn't understand why the witch would suddenly be so agitated, but when he saw the witch's face covered in tears and nose, her expression was ferocious, and she was crazily cursing at him, he was indeed frightened. This kind of panic didn't occur even when he ran into the excessively large wild boar king in the nearby forest. He was completely thrown into disorder.

"You don't understand! You all don't understand! " None of you understand my pain! I will curse all of you! "I want all of you to become fish that can only live in water like Gru!"

The Earth Mother responded to the witch's willful request, and the entire village became fish. At the same time, the silent pressure also pushed forward from the dream to reality, and the witch's dream came to an end.

The witch gradually woke up from the dream, and when she slightly opened her eyes, she found that the red and blue bottles were still forcing her to make a choice in front of her.

She poured the blue bottle of liquid into the pool and let the black fish drink it. The witch's fiancé would recover, and the witch's wish would come true.

In the past, the witch was hesitant about the deal with the grass-robed person, because she trusted her body and kept reminding herself not to accept this deal. But now, she was afraid of her hesitation. What if everything in her dream was real?

The witch began to tremble. The choice in front of her was not only about the outcome, but also about the past. In the most serious situation, she would completely deny herself.

"You're already awake, Rushaka. You already know why you're here, so the time to make a fair choice has come. Give me your answer."

The voice of Mother Earth once again rang out in the main hall, not giving any chance for the confused witch to organize her thoughts. The witch was inexplicably shocked and afraid of Mother Earth's behavior, because this was the first time in a long time that this god had ordered her with a urging tone, showing a completely different attitude from before.

"I..."

"There's nothing to hesitate about, beautiful witch, didn't your wish already be decided?"

After Mother Earth expressed her stance, the grass-robed man also spoke. However, unlike Mother Earth, his voice was very calm. He did not urge or look forward to it, but he seemed to be very confident.

"Shut up, don't tempt her to answer."

"I will do as you say."

The grass-clothed man was immediately dismissed by Mother Earth the moment she opened her mouth. However, her attitude, which was under her control, did not change at all.

At this moment, the witch seemed to have made a choice from her painful struggle. She revealed a miserable smile and spoke in a weak and ethereal voice to others and others, as if she was talking to someone else.

"There's nothing to choose. How can I not love Gru?"

The witch grabbed the blue potion and walked to the side of the pool. Suddenly, she could not move. The power of the Mother of Earth had trapped her.

"Why did you make such a choice? Didn't you already know the cause and effect? Didn't you already know that your idea was merely based on an illusion? Why didn't you take the opportunity to correct your own actions?"

Are you currently influencing other people's choices? Great Earth Mother. "

"Shut up. I just want to know why she made such a choice. Her ancestors once surprised me and witnessed the possibility of mankind in adversity. But why is it that she chose such a deviant choice now? The path before her is so obvious, and she would rather choose that path."

Hearing the question of the Mother Earth Goddess, the witch's smile became even gloomier. She spoke in a very weak voice.

"I love Gru, I must love him."

"Allow me to speak again, the great Mother Earth Goddess might really have a way out for the Gods, but for the humans, that is just another path of death, you cannot expect them to have the opinion of the Gods"

The Mother Earth Goddess did not say anything after hearing the grass-robed man's words. However, the shackles on the witch's body had not been removed. After a while, she heard the Mother Earth Goddess speak slowly.

"Alright, take a look at this. If you still insist on your choice, then I will also undo the bindings."

After the end of the Earth Mother Myth, a rumbling sound suddenly came from the stone castle. A black shadow slowly entered the witch's eyes.

Silently, a black shadow suddenly appeared in the stone castle.

The shadow was very large. It instantly occupied the space of the entire stone castle, and it also occupied all of the witch's line of sight. It was only after a long while that the witch was able to gradually recognize the image of the shadow.

It was a huge scale, a fins several times bigger than the main hall. An existence beyond human imagination slowly floated up from the sea of shadows. Just by looking at the shadow, it would take a lot of mental effort. However, the witch's eyes continued to stare at the scene in front of her without blinking. There was no other reason. It was because there was a human figure on this unusually large body.

Only the young man with the upper body attached to the massive body as he expressionlessly looked at everything in the stone castle.

"Gru... Why..."

A blurry face that had appeared in his mind due to the passage of time gradually surfaced in his memory. The name of the young man was ruthlessly taken out of his mouth as he tightened his grip on the witch's aura in the past.

"What is going on!? Didn't Gru become a fish? " Why is he here? "

The witch was stunned for a while before she came back to her senses. She wiped the cold sweat off her body and asked the Mother of Earth.

"When that black lake appeared, it wasn't only humans who saved your compatriots, I also fulfilled my duty as a Protector"

"Since you made your move, then why did it become like this?"

"The black lake water is not an ordinary existence, it has more power than a god, even I was injured " Grau was split in half in the black lake water. His lower body became the black fish in your pond, and his upper body stuck to my body and I couldn't even shake it off. "

"I... I can't understand! If this is really the case, what am I after all this time! Why didn't you tell me earlier! What is this! What is this! "What is this!?"

The witch did not know how to respond to Mother Earth's reply. She only felt that everything she knew was distorting. Dozens of emotions surged out at the same time, and she did not know what to do.

"If I tell you this, it will only make you give up on reviving Gru. This is not in line with my expectations. What I want to see is the will of humans to surpass the difficulties when facing a difficult situation."

"Then why do you have to wait until now to spread this matter out! Why don't you just let me continue to be wrong! "
