This bat cub looks very weak

"Robbery...Robbery! Hand over your money...quickly!" The man tried to speak in a vicious tone, but his words trembled a little, as if it was his first robbery.

"?" Dorothy was stunned. How long had it been since she had been robbed?

Dorothy looked at the man, then at the two black and white creatures beside her, wondering why she didn't notice when this man came? Also, this man robbed a little girl like her, did she look rich?

Well...she is indeed quite rich.

Venarida and Kyubey beside Dorothy were actually curious about what Dorothy would do in this situation. Kyubey knew that Dorothy had abilities that it didn't know about, so it didn't care much about the man. Venarida wanted to know if Dorothy couldn't beat the man and no one came to save her, would she make a contract with it because of this matter?

"I don't have the habit of carrying money when I go out, but here is some cash I have on me. Take it if you need it." Dorothy took out a few scattered bills from her trouser pocket and handed them directly to the man.

"?" When Kyubey and Vinarida saw this scene, their little heads raised with big questions.

"?" The man was stunned for a moment, then took the money with trembling hands. He stared blankly at the money in his hand, not knowing what he was thinking. However, the next second he suddenly knelt down with a plop.

"Woo..." Then the man started crying in front of Dorothy.

Dorothy noticed that Venarida and Cupid were looking at her, and their eyes seemed to be asking Dorothy what she had done to this man?

Dorothy spread her hands to indicate that she did nothing.

She just wanted to share her money like Bruce did. Of course, she also thought about the other consequences of giving the money, such as kidnapping her and blackmailing her family when she saw that Dorothy had money, or running away immediately after taking the money, or... attacking Dorothy.

The world's great wonders.

But she didn't expect that the man in front of her would kneel down and cry bitterly.

why?

Through Dorothy's questioning and the man's crying, Dorothy learned a story:

The man was a retired soldier. He happened to take part in a war operation before his retirement. However, in an explosion, his teammates thought he was killed in the battle, and his body was destroyed in the explosion anyway, leaving nothing behind.

Just like that, the news of the man's death came back.

However, the man was not dead. He was blocked by a stone slab. He was picked up by a local resident who did not know his identity. Although the man was not dead, he was in a coma for several years. After waking up, he even lost some of his memory during the recovery period. When the man finally remembered and finally returned to the United States, he found out that -

His fiancée was already with someone else, and now she has a happy family and children. His parents passed away early because they were too sad about the news of his death, and his brothers and sisters didn't like this man who had escaped death. If he had died in that battle, he would have had some honor and glory, but he came back, sloppy and unkempt, and none of the spirit he had in the past.

In addition, with the changes of the times, he could not keep up with the current life. He had no money, no place to live, no friends, no identity and could not work, so he could only become a homeless person. However, if his spirit had not faced the final collapse, he would not have robbed a little girl.

Why did he rob Dorothy? The man didn't know, but there was a voice in his heart telling him that he had to do something bad. This era was already terrible, so let's make it even worse. Anyway, he felt that he couldn't live anymore.

However, facing Dorothy's act of spending money, and the fact that she was not afraid of him, would not laugh at him with other children or even throw stones at him, and Dorothy spoke to him in an overly calm tone, he suddenly felt a little ashamed of his behavior.

He is an adult after all, and he was once a soldier, how...how could he...

"I don't have anything to give you, but if you were a little girl, you would like this." The man suddenly handed something to Dorothy, but before Dorothy could see clearly what the man was handing her, the man's figure in front of her became fainter and fainter, and finally disappeared in front of Dorothy.

This action made Dorothy confused again.

ah? ah? ? ?

"Didn't you see it? Am I dazzled?" Dorothy didn't seem to react, and even asked Kyubey and Venarida beside her.

"See, he has become a Buddha." Vinarida put his hands together and said.

"Wait, this is what you have in your hand!" Kewpie jumped onto Dorothy's shoulder and motioned for her to look at the thing the man had just given her.

Dorothy finally reacted. She looked at the thing in her hand and fell silent again.

It is a round metal object like a pointer. It is completely black and has no color, but there are some strange patterns carved on it.

My goodness, this is actually the seed of lamentation.

Does that mean the man just now is a witch?

Wait, what? The witch is a man?

Dorothy suddenly felt that her brain was not enough at this moment, but could the Seed of Sorrow be transferred directly like this? And why did the man suddenly disappear? A series of questions gathered in Dorothy's mind again.

Great, my head starts to hurt again.

"Ding!" Just when Dorothy's brain was about to be overloaded, suddenly a prompt sound came from the system:

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Seed of Sorrow of the Unhatched Witch, and for receiving the curse from the Witch of War. The Seed of Sorrow of the Witch of War will have a certain ability to cause chaos, please use it with caution."

"Ah, dear 007 host, hello, here is a small reminder for you, although Kyubey's vest card can create the existence of magical girls, due to the special nature of time and space, and the existence of the main world's ring, the magical girl you create will not become a witch." The system that spoke was not the only one that had talked to Dorothy before, but Dorothy did not think much about it for a moment, and just continued to listen to it.

"Unless the other party's will is not strong enough, or her wish is beyond her ability, she will suffer a certain backlash, so when the host uses "Qiubi" to sign a contract with others, please check the content of the wish in advance to avoid unnecessary damage."

"What about that man just now?" Dorothy frowned. There were some things she really didn't understand. Since the system popped up, it might be that Dorothy deviated from the track they set.

"Mutated witches are not just from this world. Some of them come from other time and space or are images created by energy bodies. But before they hatch into witches, they all have their own images."

"Unless they encounter certain specific situations, they will hatch and become witches. But if they obtain the other party's Seed of Sorrow before they become witches, they will be able to receive the curse from the witch. Of course, although it is called a "curse", it is actually a disguised "blessing"."

"But in most cases, the witch you encounter will be a mutant witch. This time it was just an accident. But in order to avoid unnecessary battles, my suggestion is to find the existence that has not yet hatched into a witch. Moreover, only magical girls have the ability to find the trace of witches." The system's words were very clear, and Dorothy also understood the implication of the system.

That is, we must create a magical girl.

"Does that mean there are still forty-nine people who will become witches?" And at the moment, there is one more thing. After obtaining the Seed of Sorrow from this man, if one of the fifty witches is eliminated, there are still forty-nine left.

"Yes, and among these people there are men and women, young and old, and there may also be animals, because they are..." The system paused, because it realized that it could not say the rest of the sentence.

"It was because of the Seed of Sorrow that she turned into a witch." Dorothy suddenly thought of a very crucial point.

Why could this seed of sorrow be easily transferred to Dorothy by a man?

It is possible that in a situation of extreme despair, the Seed of Sorrow absorbed the power of despair from the man, which turned him into a "mutated witch". "Mutated witch" is just a title or the witch she represents after the transformation, and does not refer to her gender before becoming a witch.

In other words, the so-called Seed of Sorrow might be the mutant witch itself. For some reason, the Seed of Sorrow fell into the hands of a person with despair. Once the power of despair is full, the witch in the Seed of Sorrow will be directly hatched, turning that person into a mutant witch.

Very good, this is the system's fault, right?

The system remained silent because it noticed Dorothy's emotional changes.

Thinking of this, Dorothy could only take a deep breath and then exhale. She didn't want to argue with the system anymore. She already understood the current situation. Now that things had come to this, after the mutant witch caused more changes to the world, she had to find conditions that were beneficial to her.

However, since the system mentioned the special nature of Kyubey's contract, Kyubey is no longer an enemy. So, she must make good use of Kyubey's ability to fulfill wishes.

"You really work hard." Venarida seemed to sense the conversation between Dorothy and the system and suddenly sighed.

"You are... Dorothy? Why are you here? Why are you alone... Wait, what are these two things next to you?" However, just as Dorothy was about to answer Venarida's words, a voice suddenly called out Dorothy's name.

Dorothy looked towards the source of the voice and found that the person coming was Peter.

Peter?

Oh, yes, this is Queens, Peter also lives here, and he lives just a few blocks away from Monica's house.

"Peter, what a coincidence?" Dorothy said dryly as a greeting to him.

"Oh, by the way, Dorothy, have you seen Monica? I heard that something happened to her and I haven't had the time to see her. Are you here to find Monica?" Peter asked Dorothy.

Actually, the school Dorothy attended was the same school as Monica and Peter, but Dorothy was in a lower grade. Except for Monica who took the initiative to look for Dorothy, she basically didn't run into Peter.

Dorothy did meet Peter a few times, but they didn't have much contact. After all, his identity as Spider-Man was not tied to his identity as Peter Parker, and he also had his own life.

"Yes, I came to see Monica, but I had to deal with some things temporarily. You saw these two things." Dorothy said to Peter. The scene at this time was a bit divided. Cupid was on Dorothy's shoulder, and Vinarida was flying in the air beside her. The three of them were looking at Peter together.

"Is this... a doll? It's so lifelike..." Peter couldn't help but twitch his lips and complained.

"How rude." Venarida took the initiative to speak.

"Wow, he spoke!" Peter felt goose bumps all over his body.

"I just came out from Monica's house to take care of some things, and now I'm ready to go back. Do you want to go with me?" Dorothy did not answer Peter about Cupid and Vinarida. She thought it was time for her to go back to Monica's house, so she asked Peter.

After all, although Dorothy has learned about Vinarida, she still has to verify some things with Monica, because Monica and Vinarida are now in a binding relationship.

My head hurts so much, I wish the world would end today.

"Go! I wanted to visit her today, but she said she was discharged from the hospital today, so I went to see her instead!" Peter answered immediately.

"Then go, go, go, go, hurry up." Dorothy pushed Peter out of the alley.

"Hey, why are you in such a hurry? These two things are following you." Peter looked at the black and white creatures behind Dorothy.

"Oh, don't pay attention to them. No, you can actually see them?" Dorothy was a little surprised. After all, beings like Kyubey and Venarida can only be seen by magical girl candidates or people with some special abilities, but basically seeing them is not a good thing.

So for a moment Dorothy was thinking a very unhealthy thought.

Can Peter become a magical girl?

Ugh, magic boy... isn't that magic young man?

But Dorothy was amused by her own stubborn thoughts. What magic boy?

It's just a fucking mage!

Dorothy almost forgot that her main job was a wizard, and there was also Strange.

The world finally turned upside down, and she was turned upside down too.
