Proving the Dao of Hunyuan from the Age of Witches

Chapter 122 Relief

With a murderous look on her face, Luo Xin shook off Bai Nuo's hand, kicked open the door, and walked diagonally across the street, towards the apartment where Luo Xi and Qiangwei were.

Bai Nuo watched Luo Xin's retreating figure with worry, carefully following behind, not daring to utter a single word.

Soon, Luo Xin arrived at the door.

Just as she was about to kick the door again, vines suddenly appeared.

Immediately afterwards, a witch emerged from around the corner, a witch who looked exactly like Rose—it was Lily.

"Little aunt," Lily said with a grin, "why are you disturbing other people's enjoyment so late at night instead of sleeping?"

"If you're lonely, I can keep you company." Lily's smile was no longer bright and cheerful, but instead revealed a hint of allure.

Upon hearing Lily's words, Luo Xin's previously furious face calmed down. After a moment of silence, she calmly said, "Rose... no, Lily, something's wrong with you two."

"Whether it's you or Rose," Luo Xin continued, "you've both started to develop a strange possessiveness toward the witch."

"The magical properties, or rather anomalies, within you are beginning to manifest," Luo Xin concluded.

"That's quite a keen observation," Lily said with a smile, then asked, "How can you handle an abnormal hyper-aggregation event without paying a price?"

"Your rank is already C," Luo Xin reminded her. "Once your abnormality, or rather your magical properties, become fully manifest, you will inevitably be promoted to a high-level witch."

"Although high-ranking witches are more confident in handling abnormal super-aggregation events, I do not recommend that you do so."

"You don't understand the mechanisms of this world," Luo Xin sighed. "When Xi first dealt with the abnormal super-aggregation event in her initial state, she was only at the Golden Core stage, which is what is known as a C-level witch."

"What do you want to say?" Lily's possessiveness grew stronger.

"A C-rank witch is still considered an intermediate witch," Luo Xin explained. "A C-rank witch and a B-rank witch may seem to be only one rank apart, but that is the essential difference between intermediate and advanced levels."

"Once you advance to a high-level witch, the world's detection mechanism will be activated." Luo Xin's eyes flickered as she finally made up her mind to reveal this information.

"Detection mechanism?" Baihe seemed to be hearing about it for the first time, and became curious. She looked at Luo Xin with undisguised possessiveness in her eyes. "I don't know this information."

"In its initial state, Xi handled the abnormal super-aggregation event for the first time, utilizing the law that 'only anomalies can combat anomalies,'" Luo Xin continued. "Because it was an anomaly combating anomaly, the detection mechanism was not activated, and the test subject did not appear."

"What test subject?" Lily asked疑惑地, "I don't know anything about any of this."

"You should know that my brother, who is now Luo Xi, has the most essential and fundamental ability to interfere with cause and effect," Luo Xin smiled. "This ability had already shown some characteristics before he transformed into a witch."

"Even with your and my suppression after she transforms into a witch, her incompletely awakened magical properties are still very strong, at least much stronger than when she was still an ordinary person," Luo Xin said slowly.

"Xi has now come to a conclusion about witches: witches are a weapon, a tool." Luo Xin's expression was somewhat unpleasant.

"Whether it's correct or not, this conclusion itself is an application of her causal interference, belonging to causal interference in higher dimensions, which is much stronger than your incomplete perception of fate," Luo Xin revealed a sneer, "After all, your perception of fate comes from the initial state of Xi, which is itself part of her causal interference."

Upon hearing Luo Xin's words, a dangerous glint flashed in Baihe's eyes, but she made no move.

Luo Xin ignored Baihe's dangerous warning and steered the conversation back to the discussion about witches: "Actually, Xi's conclusion that 'witches are weapons and tools' is not wrong."

"Based on this, if witches are truly weapons or tools, then what marks indicate that this tool or weapon is ready for use?"

Before Baihe could answer, Luo Xin gave the answer directly: "High-level witch. High-level witch is the symbol that represents the complete form of this tool, this weapon."

"Once a witch advances to a higher level," Luo Xin looked at Baihe, "she will inevitably be detected by the detection mechanism."

"When the detection mechanism detects a high-level witch, the testing program will be initiated, and the test subject will be brought to the scene."

"The purpose of the test subject is to test the witch as a tool, as a weapon," Luo Xin said in one breath, observing Lily's reaction.

Lily pondered for a long time, then shook her head: "I cannot confirm the authenticity of this information. Even using my Fate Perception, there was no feedback."

"The lack of feedback precisely proves that what I said is true, because this information itself involves causal interference," Luo Xin smiled.

"Why do I say that Xi's current conclusion—that witches are weapons and tools—is not wrong? Because this conclusion itself is the result of Xi's current causal interference!"

"She believed that witches were weapons and tools, and this conclusion was directly established as a 'result' through her causal intervention."

"And everything we do now will constitute the 'cause'."

"As long as her consciousness remains unchanged, this causal interference will still be in effect," Luo Xin said calmly.

"Don't you want to change her mind?" Lily asked. "What exactly is your purpose in interfering with Xi now?"

Luo Xin gave Baihe a deep look, then asked warily, "Is your goal to change Xi's current consciousness? To change her perception of witches, thereby reversing the ending where 'witches are tools, weapons'?"

Lily's expression changed: "Are you testing me? How much of what you just said was a lie, and how much was the truth?"

Luo Xin smiled slightly: "I did lie to you about some things, but the conclusion that 'witches are weapons and tools' is absolutely correct; it's an objective fact."

"With Xi's not yet fully awakened understanding of cause and effect, she cannot interfere with this at all."

Luo Xin smiled and said, "I've already tested it out. I roughly understand your purpose, and why you're interfering with Xi."

"We share the same goal: to make Xi a better person," Luo Xin said with a smile. "You might as well use your magical properties to check if I'm telling the truth."

She appeared very sincere.

But Lily became even more wary.

The concepts of "good" and "bad" are too subjective, and everyone has a different definition of them.

For example, the "good" she hoped for was for Luo Xi to face her inner self honestly, no longer conflicted and entangled, and to become a witch with humanity.

Does Luo Xin's definition of "better" align with her own concept of "good"?

Do they really have the same goal?

"Oh, right, I almost forgot the important matter," Luo Xin suddenly said, revealing a wicked smile, "Since the abnormality in your body, that is, your magical properties, are beginning to manifest, then you must have a strong desire for witches."

"Whatever it is, let me help you relieve your heat."
