Chapter 183 Stars, Moon, and Sun (25)
Chapter 183 Stars, Moon, and Sun (25)
Yi Yi was unaware of her own expression.
But the witch could clearly see her cold face hidden in the shadows.
For some reason, she hurriedly declared, "No! For His Highness's sake, I even cursed all his subjects so that they could share eternity with us!"
Yi Yi rubbed her fingers together, without making a comment.
Listening to the witch still rambling on about her love.
Yi Yi smiled and said, "I don't want to know that. Let's talk about the second method."
The witch paused, then bit her finger and muttered, "The second... the second method..."
"The second method is to completely transfer the curse away."
"We need to find a girl born at the full moon, and transfer the curse to her through a ritual at the full moon."
"From that day forward, witches were no longer witches, but ordinary human beings."
"And the girl whose curse was transferred will become the new witch."
It was an even more decisive approach than expected.
Even without any further steps, a witch can be turned into a human.
Yi Yi nodded, coldly stating, "There's still plenty of time until the next full moon. Tell me what you need to prepare for the ceremony, and I'll get it ready for you."
The witch nodded and was about to open her mouth.
Suddenly remembering something, he shook his head vigorously.
She mumbled something to herself, but Yi Yi couldn't make out any specific meaning in it.
After a long while, the witch rushed to the iron fence, stared at Yi Yi, and said, "No, no! What if you become a witch and don't want to switch bodies with me? Then I won't be able to do anything!"
After thinking about it carefully, Yi Yi realized that there was indeed a problem.
However, she had no intention of doing anything underhanded.
However, even if the bodies are swapped beforehand, there's no guarantee the witch will keep her promise and prepare the ritual for herself in the end.
So Yi frowned and said, "How about you put a curse on me now, and if I don't follow our promise later, I'll suffer a backlash or something?"
But the witch rejected his idea: "Witches are the creatures least afraid of curses. If you become a witch, the curse I cast on you now will be useless."
Yi Yi crossed her arms, genuinely surprised that she would get stuck on this aspect.
But you must be on guard against others.
Yi Yi stretched out a hand, indicating helplessly, "We can't trust each other... does that mean the talks have fallen apart?"
"No!" The witch also resisted the impasse, saying, "Let me think about it, let me think about it some more..."
After briefly assessing the situation, Yi Yi had a sudden inspiration and realized that she could be the one to do this good deed.
She said calmly, "In that case, I'll take the loss. I'll switch bodies with you in a couple of days, and then we'll completely transfer the curse on the night of the full moon, how about that?"
The witch couldn't understand why Yi Yi, who also couldn't trust her, would give in.
I asked instinctively, "Why?"
Yi Yi simply smiled, her face completely innocent, and said, "Because if I want to go back to my own body, I can go back anytime!"
Thinking back to the experience of being forcibly switched back into my own body.
The witch fell silent.
“I could have chosen not to remind you of this, but I did anyway,” Yi Yi continued in an extremely seductive tone. “I’m also willing to make a concession and let you use my body for a few days.”
"No...it shouldn't be like that..." the witch seemed to be still thinking.
Yi interrupted her thoughts directly, tailoring bait for her: "Even if our deal falls apart in the end, consider these few days a gift from me, how about it? These few days of close contact with His Highness the Habsburg in this body~ Why not take advantage of it?"
The witch swallowed hard.
Even with a vague sense that sharp hooks lurked behind the seemingly fresh food, he couldn't resist taking a bite: "Alright! Now..."
"Wait a moment." Yi Yi took two steps forward and subtly stepped on the mechanism of the secret room's exit.
She casually summoned the chibi-style character, Little Brain, as if she wanted to whisper something to Little Brain while avoiding the witch.
As the opening above slowly opened, Yi Yi stepped onto the ladder and leaned half her body out.
As expected, Yi Yi saw Ai Yi standing not far from the entrance.
She pointed to her ear, and Ai nodded.
Soon, before the mechanism could rebound naturally.
Yi Yi returned to the secret room.
"Alright, stop trying any tricks." Yi Yi stopped Cerebellum from protecting all her data and warned the witch, "You'd better not try anything funny; you know it won't work on me."
The witch received the signal, and her dark eyes met Yi Yi's eyes.
After a dizzying moment, Yi Yi looked up at "herself" through the fence.
The witch, now inside Yi Yi's body, was somewhat at a loss.
She hadn't expected that in such a dark environment, Yi Yi's body would have limited visibility.
He held his hand up to his eyes to examine it carefully, and roughly knew that he had succeeded.
Yet there's still a sense of unreality.
Bring your finger to your mouth and gently feel it with your lips.
The soft fingertips didn't feel the dry, chapped skin on the lips, and the tender lips didn't feel the hard hangnails on the fingers.
But what brought her back to her senses was a gesture by "herself".
The "self" on the other side of the fence summoned the fluorescent blue figure from somewhere and said to itself, "Let's go. You're free now. You can prepare the ceremony yourself."
The witch knew that by deliberately summoning the little blue man without speaking to him, she was silently warning herself not to make any moves.
Otherwise, she could unilaterally terminate the deal immediately.
"Don't worry, now that I've seen your sincerity, I will prepare the ceremony as promised."
Yi Yi watched as she turned to leave, but still seemed somewhat at a loss.
He kindly moved the switch to help her open the exit of the secret room.
Watching the witch, who was using his own body, leave the secret chamber.
Yi Yi silently watched the exit of the secret room gradually close, thinking to herself: I'm not worried about you changing your mind, after all, there's a fishing net made just for you waiting up there!
Lying back on the haystack in her cell, sprawled out on her back, Yi Yi brushed aside the long hair that was obscuring her vision.
He knew that Ai Yi was probably worried about him having a private chat with the witch and would follow him over.
I already knew that his current form also enhanced his five senses, and after confirming with him, I learned that he had also heard her conversation with the witch.
Then, just as we had initially imagined, Ai began to put on a show for the witch.
...Let us mourn for him.
Yi Yi continued to think, feeling a little guilty.
However, the method to turn the witch into a human was simpler than he had imagined.
It seems that my plan needs to be simplified in some ways.
