Just moments before, her eyes were fixed on Vivi, the girl who had stopped and changed her clothes in front of her.
The long procession of Frostraven townspeople seeking refuge that had been beside her suddenly vanished from her sight.
Instead, a gray, hazy fog descended.
This gray mist perfectly defined a circular area, surrounding her and the girl Vivi opposite her.
Seeing this, Lani felt a deep unease and took a step back in fear.
Followed by.
She nervously reached out to touch the gray mist that was so close to her.
This gray mist gave her an indescribable sense of solidity; it seemed invisible, yet she felt as if she had touched something.
In response, Lani took another step forward, cautiously moving away from the gray mist.
She looked again at the girl Vivi directly in front of her.
When she saw Weiwei's slightly immature yet aloof face, she couldn't help but frown.
For some reason, she felt a strong sense of estrangement at that moment.
So, taking advantage of the changing scenery around her, she tentatively began to speak:
"Weiwei, can you see the gray fog around us?"
What Lani didn't expect was...
Unlike usual, "Weiwei" first showed a wicked smile on her usually aloof face, followed by her response:
"Of course you can see it, because this is a 'witch's barrier' I set up."
Her tone was very natural, without the slightest trace of the timidity and shyness I had previously remembered.
At the same time, after saying that.
Dressed in a fitted black silk dress, "Weiwei" gracefully raised her left hand, making a gesture as if picking a flower, to touch the gray mist beside her.
next moment.
These gray mists quickly gathered together, shaping a thorny vine that wrapped around "Weiwei's" fingertips as she plucked the flower.
And looking at the end of this ever-spreading vine, a scarlet rose blooms out in the blink of an eye, as if by magic.
“You are not Weiwei, you are the voice that just appeared in my mind.”
Seeing this strange scene, Lani frowned and locked her brows. She instantly discerned the other person's identity from their tone of voice.
Subsequently.
She pursed her lips and spoke in a threatening tone:
"Please leave Vivi's body and don't hurt her."
After saying that, Lani took out a bracelet from her pocket and placed it in front of her.
This was a talisman given to her by her trusted grandfather, Lawson.
Lani remembered Grandpa Lawson's advice:
If she encounters any extraordinary event that she cannot handle, she should take out this bracelet; it will protect her.
Not long ago.
This bracelet proved its power, helping her resolve the crisis posed by a blood-red butterfly, which was the manifestation of the crimson mark on Vivi's forehead.
So, let's get back to the present.
Lani attempted to use the extraordinary power contained within the bracelet to fight against the unknown entity that had somehow "attached" to Vivi.
"Ok?"
When Lani took out this strangely shaped bracelet, "Weiwei" on the other side first let out a puzzled sigh.
But then.
"Weiwei" shook her head, resumed her previous smiling demeanor, and asked Lani in a meaningful tone:
"I can leave her body, but can you leave mine first, Lani?"
No, this name doesn't belong to you; it should belong to me.
She paused deliberately at this point, then lowered her voice:
"Should I call you Miss Witch Morgan, right?"
咛!
Morgan?
Upon hearing the name, Lani's expression changed drastically, and a genuine look of fear appeared on her pretty face.
The name was like a key, inserted into a black box hidden deep within Lani's heart, violently opening it.
All of a sudden.
The scene around Lani changed again.
A sudden gust of wind swept in, igniting a fierce fire that dispelled the surrounding gray mist.
After the gray fog dissipated.
A classical courtyard ablaze was reflected in Lani's clear, light gray eyes.
The fire showed no signs of abating and quickly consumed the top part of the courtyard.
"Boom!"
Immediately following this, a collapse sound rang out, and the outer wall of the courtyard crashed down.
then.
The main hall of the courtyard was now visible to Lani.
"no, do not want!"
At that moment, Lani, who was watching from the sidelines as the fire engulfed the courtyard, let out a cry of alarm.
Because she saw a crying girl sitting on the ground in the center of the courtyard hall, which was surrounded by fire.
Beside her lay a man and a woman, both adults, leaning on each other as they collapsed.
The two adults who fell down used their bodies to shelter the crying girl.
"Morgan, you are the one who brought this tragedy upon me."
Just as Lani witnessed this scene, "Vivi's" voice rang in her ears at the right time.
Subsequently.
"Vivi" left her spot and began to relentlessly pursue Lani:
"It was you who killed my parents;"
It was you who took my body away;
It was you who erased my existence.
After asking three questions in a row.
"Weiwei" had already walked up to Lani.
"No! That's not how it is."
Lani could no longer look directly at the girl crying amidst the sea of fire in her field of vision. She covered her head in anguish and then buried her head.
At the same time, she began to repeat the following:
"I am not a witch, my name is Lani."
I am not a witch, my name is Lani.
......"
"Miss Morgan, could you please stop feigning 'pain'?"
But "Weiwei's" righteous and stern shout interrupted her increasingly delirious muttering.
at this time.
With her eyes closed and head bowed, Lani could clearly feel the other person's breath so close to hers.
then.
"Weiwei's" voice continued to come:
"These are my memories, my pain, my tragedy."
Why are you taking even these things away?
"No, no."
Upon hearing this, Lani suddenly opened her eyes, then raised her head again and shook her head vigorously like a rattle-drum.
The look of terror vanished from the girl's pretty face, replaced by uncontrollable rage:
"It's you! Morgan the witch, you killed Lani."
Lani's unwavering gaze and declaration caused "Vivi's" questioning posture to momentarily freeze.
then.
Suddenly, "Weiwei" changed her demeanor in front of her, letting out a loud, piercing laugh:
"Hahaha!"
Simultaneously.
"Weiwei" also retreated like a phantom, returning to the spot where she had just stood.
As "Weiwei" retreated.
The scene around Lani changed again.
The courtyard that was engulfed by the fire disappeared, and the gray mist returned.
Everything seems to have returned to its starting point.
-----------------
at the same time.
In the gray fog.
From Vivi's perspective.
The girl's experiences were completely different from Lani's.
"Miss Lani, what's wrong?"
Weiwei frowned and timidly spoke.
Because she witnessed the clothes on the beautiful older woman in front of her suddenly change.
She transformed from a simple light blue long dress into an exquisite and gorgeous fitted black silk dress.
After Vivi sent her a concerned greeting.
A meaningful smile involuntarily appeared on Lani's delicate and pretty face.
Then, she raised one hand and gently stroked her cheek.
Then, she twirled the ends of her hair at her temples with her fingertips and began to play with them.
Her posture was slightly languid, yet it perfectly complemented the exquisite dress she was wearing, adding to her elegant demeanor.
After making such a gesture.
She looked at Weiwei and parted her lips slightly:
"Weiwei, do you remember our deal?"
