Witch Special

The sentimental part was almost over, so it was time to get straight to the point. After passing through the dimly lit corridor, Lin Zhenxi and Rossello arrived at a place that was noticeably brighter.

The place also has a lot more of a lifelike atmosphere - there is a very stylish metal chair, a table with a lot of papers piled on it, and an electronic screen that is turned off.

Besides these furnishings, there was a giant device in the center of the room, connected to numerous pipes. Its specific function was unknown. Due to the power outage, it was completely lifeless.

This must be the Mechanical Throne, the residence of Apostle Luke, the most central place in the entire Silent City.

Lin Zhenxi was so certain because she had seen the withered corpse of a man there. The withered body was being held tightly in the arms of Becky, who had lost her usual companion, the giant slingshot. The little girl had cried herself unconscious and now simply lowered her head, cradling Luke's body, her body motionless.

Lin Zhenxi didn't see any traces of fighting here. He didn't know whether the battle between Apostle Luke and the assault team members did not take place here, or whether all the furnishings here were very hard and the attacks would not leave any traces on them.

Lin Zhenxi was probably the second one, which also explained why Rossello asked Noelni to carve the magic circle in another room, because the floor on the mechanical throne was too hard to carve the magic circle at all.

Lin Zhenxi and Rossello approached little Becky. Rossello winked at Lin Zhenxi and instructed him to wake Becky up.

After all, when it comes to friendship, even though Rossello had been in Silent City for so long, she and the lively and active Becky couldn't really get along, so their relationship wasn't particularly close. Lin Zhenxi, on the other hand, was different. Because Black Cat often hung out with Becky, Lin Zhenxi interacted with Becky much more often, and naturally had a better relationship with her than Rossello did.

Lin Zhenxi accepted the order without feeling too much burden. He walked over, squatted down, and gently patted Becky's shoulder.

Becky's coat was a little cold, and she didn't know how long she had been in this position, but Lin Zhenxi felt that if she and Rossello hadn't come, she might have died here with Luke, if no one else came to disturb them.

It sounds so pitiful.

Becky was now in hibernation, and Lin Zhenxi's initial gentle pats did not wake her up. Lin Zhenxi had no choice but to grab her shoulders and shake her body with a little force, while calling her name in her ear.

"Becky, Becky, wake up, Becky, wake up!"

Thanks to Lin Zhenxi's efforts, Xiaobei's eyelids finally moved in anger, and then she opened her hazy eyes. Her eyes were still unable to focus, and she just looked at Lin Zhenxi in front of her in a dull manner. I'm afraid she didn't recognize who Lin Zhenxi was at all.

Little Becky's condition is indeed distressing, but aren't they here to change this situation? Although this is not what Lin Zhenxi wants to see, through the conversation just now, she chose to respect her teacher's wishes and the choices made.

"Becky, wake up, we're here to rescue your Grandpa Luke."

Hearing Lin Zhenxi mention Luke's name, Becky's eyes instantly became much clearer. She blinked in disbelief and then said, "Really...?"

Her voice was now hoarse and deep, a stark contrast to her usual vibrant, crisp, and even loud voice. Lin Zhenxi reached into the Space Cube and pulled out a water ball. She stuffed it directly into Becky's mouth and said, "Moisten your throat first. I'll tell you what's going on."

This kind of water-bursting bead is a special snack that only Lin Zhenxi has. It contains not only sugar and water, but also vitamin C and some other nutrients. It can be regarded as an emergency drink for long-term travel, but it is also very good to eat as a candy ball. When little Becky was playing with Black Cat, Black Cat shared his snack box with her, so Becky knew what this was.

Just as Becky bit through the edible gel on the surface of the water-bursting beads with his teeth and sucked the sugar water inside while licking his lips, Lin Zhenxi also told little Becky about the work he and Rossello had done during this period.

After hearing that they had recovered Luke's Apostle's Breath and had the conditions to resurrect Luke, Becky's expression suddenly brightened. If she wasn't holding Luke's body in her arms, she would probably jump up right now.

"Don't worry, your Grandpa Luke will be back soon. Then, everyone in Silent City will come back, and Silent City will soon return to its original state." Lin Zhenxi finally comforted Becky.

Although, Rossello and those cadres who were not Luke's creations may never be able to come back.

But it is not appropriate to say such depressing words at this time, and Becky only cares about her grandfather Luke. As long as Apostle Luke can come back, she will probably accept other changes in the Silent City.

After all, the old must go before the new can come. The cadres of Silent City didn't initially assemble a complete deck of tarot cards; they were all assembled one by one by Luke. As long as Luke was alive, Silent City would not fall. Sooner or later, it would make a comeback. When that time came, with new people and a new atmosphere, Silent City would be bustling again, and it would still be Becky's amusement park.

After hearing Lin Zhenxi's story about Luke's resurrection, Becky was eager to proceed. However, she straightened her body, her face suddenly becoming terrified, her big eyes filled with fear.

"Becky, I can't feel my feet! Is Becky disabled and will never be able to stand up again?"

Well, maybe it's just that I've been in the same position for too long, and the blood circulation has been cut off, so my legs and feet are numb. Lin Zhenxi squatted down and pulled open little Becky's trouser legs. She reached out and touched Becky's calf. As expected, it was much lower than normal body temperature. Fortunately, the color was still normal flesh color, and there was no sign of ischemia and necrosis. So the problem shouldn't be serious. If I adjust the position to improve blood circulation, I should be fine.

"Becky, put Grandpa Luke down first. You need to straighten your legs to get the blood circulating. They'll probably be numb for a while, but you'll be able to feel your legs soon."

It wasn't like Becky was completely clueless; she was just stunned by the sudden loss of feeling in her legs. Now, after Lin Zhenxi's reminder, she realized the problem. However, unlike Lin Zhenxi's desire to have her lie flat, Becky simply adjusted her legs, moving from a duck-like position with her legs folded up to a normal sitting position. After just a few seconds, Lin Zhenxi noticed her feet move.

Uh, is the recovery so fast? This is not right. Lin Zhenxi looked at Becky who had stood up from the ground, with a question mark in his head.

Normally, this kind of numbness from holding an awkward position for too long would take at least three to five minutes to recover, right? Becky's condition was more severe than the average numbness in her hands and feet. Lin Zhenxi had expected her recovery to take even longer, but... this was it?

Lin Zhenxi felt that his common sense was challenged.

But then I thought, yeah, Becky isn't human after all. While she looks like a little human girl, she's a formidable mage assistant, an artificial lifeform. Perhaps it's not blood flowing through her, but some kind of faster-flowing magic marrow, that's why she doesn't suffer from the same ailments humans do.

Well, it doesn't matter. It's a good thing that Becky can move around.

But she finally put Luke's body down, because with her size and height, it was still a bit difficult for her to move Luke. Although the little girl always carried the big slingshot Luke gave her everywhere, it was because she had a slingshot noose on her body, so she didn't have to worry about it falling out. If she really had to carry Luke, she would still have some difficulty.

Besides, we have Lin Zhenxi. With a simple magician's hand, Luke's skinny body floated up by itself. This is much more convenient than having someone to carry him on his back.

Becky looked at the scene in surprise. The magicians in this world did not have such sophisticated magic operations. In this world, magic was used more in combat rather than in life, so the research on these magics that made life more convenient was far less than that in the wizarding world.

But soon, sadness filled her eyes again. Luke's body lay quietly in mid-air, his three eyes tightly closed, his four arms drooping naturally. If it weren't for the huge wound on his chest, he would have looked like he was asleep.

This was also the first time that Lin Zhenxi had the opportunity to observe the appearance of the Lord of the Silent City up close and carefully.

Lin Zhenxi's first impression of Luke was plain. Aside from his three eyes and four arms, Luke was simply an elderly man with a white beard, wizened and pitifully thin, his skin covered in age spots. Judging by his appearance alone, it was impossible to connect this old man with the demonic world's Great Bright Messenger of Light, the Ninth Angel, the "Maker."

If this was Luke's disguise, then it was a bit too successful, even death wouldn't break it. Perhaps this was Luke's true appearance? But Lin Zhenxi found it hard to imagine that a powerful figure from the demon world could actually be such a frail, unremarkable old man.

really weird……
