Chapter 521 The You I Know (8000 in words)
Irena felt that she had a very comfortable sleep, just like lying on comfortable velvet, warm and cozy.
It felt like rain was hitting the glass windows of the old house outside, but it was very quiet inside, creating a clear contrast.
I rested my head on the pillow and changed my position. I could enjoy it for a long time. Anyway, it is not suitable to travel when the weather is bad.
Of course, you still have to eat breakfast.
Thinking of this, Irena rubbed her eyes and looked sleepily towards the bed.
"It was in the library." She pushed back the quilt and gradually became sober. She seemed to have endless energy: "When did I come back?"
This is the library where she stores her books, and it is maintained and managed on a daily basis by Irena, the person she captured and brought back from the group of people she had killed.
"Let's find them a new job."
It's impossible to let them go so easily. You should have been prepared when you attacked her. Even if you put them in a black-hearted factory to make magic props, you can still make a small profit.
Compared to selling magic props by yourself and then not being able to sell the goods, it is better to work in a factory and have a stable income.
As a reward, they are given a magic book every month.
That's right, this is me, Miss Irena, the kindest of all the gray witches~
"It's already so late, why hasn't my breakfast been served yet?"
Irena glanced at the alarm clock beside the bed, yawned, and then some confusion appeared in her eyes.
Didn’t you accept the commission and eat in the French restaurant?
The last scene in my memory was me stuffing the mushrooms that I disliked the most into the mouth of that shameless man.
then.
What did you do?
I seem to have drunk a cup of oolong tea. Is it oolong tea? Oops, I don't know if the commission has been completed.
Just as Irena was still reminiscing, the door was gently pushed open, and a gentle voice called out: "It's rare to see you sleeping in, why don't you sleep a little longer?"
Hearing the sound, Irena looked towards the door and saw Su Lin holding a tray in both hands, on which were placed foods such as fried dough sticks, soy milk, tofu pudding, bread, jam, and fried eggs.
"Why are you here?" Irena's eyes twitched. She always felt that the man's tone was a little strange.
"Are you sleepy again?" Su Lin looked at him suspiciously, then smiled dotingly, "It's time to have breakfast. I made it myself today."
vomit--!
Irena's face suddenly turned gloomy. She covered her mouth with her hands and shrank back in fear to the bedside.
What are you doing? !
What is this guy doing?!
Can you please stop making such a disgusting expression?!
“Don’t come over here!” Irena found that she could no longer retreat, so she warned: “Don’t enter the lady’s room without permission!”
Su Lin was puzzled. He put the breakfast in his hand on a desk and said curiously, "But this is also my room. It's been so many years. Why haven't you gotten used to it yet?"
He raised his right hand and pointed to Irena's side.
Irena looked in the direction the other person pointed, and saw another pillow next to her own.
Why are there two pillows?
"."
The moment this thought flashed through her mind, Irena suddenly crossed her arms, hugged her shoulders tightly and began to tremble, her eyes full of confusion: "You...you..."
Su Lin sat down at the desk, put the cut dough sticks into the soy milk and soaked them, then said:
"By the way, my daughter said she wanted to learn magic. When will you teach her?"
"I wanted to teach her how to cultivate immortality and holy light magic, but you said yesterday that my daughter has grown up and should be allowed to make her own decisions..."
"Ah, your personality is just like yours. What's wrong with you? Why are you looking at me like that?"
Seeing this, Su Lin stood up, picked up the still steaming soy milk, and walked towards Irena, whose pupils were dilated, step by step with a smile on his face.
He sat down on the bed, picked up a piece of fried dough stick with chopsticks and placed it next to Irena's mouth, saying softly: "It won't taste good if it's completely softened. Come on, ah~~"
"Excuse me." Irena asked in an almost mechanical voice without any fluctuations, "What daughter?"
Hearing this question, Su Lin's eyes widened, his pupils shook like an earthquake, and then he forced a smile.
"It's nothing, don't worry about it."
"What daughter?"
Irena asked again.
"Nothing, Miss Irena, I was just joking with you." Tears flashed in Su Lin's eyes, and he whispered, "It's all because I didn't protect you well that your head was injured... and you were attacked by the enemy's magic."
After Su Lin finished speaking, he put down the food, hurriedly stood up and walked towards the wall with several bookshelves filled with books, and quickly picked up some photos placed on it.
He did not move quickly, so Irena could clearly see the photos on it. They were one by one.
It looks very much like a photo of a family of three.
The man held the girl high up and the woman smiled beside him.
A birthday cake with the number "3" was placed in front of the girl, and the man and woman clapped their hands to celebrate.
In front of the girl was a birthday cake with the number "4" on it, surrounded by many angels playing music in the clouds.
There are some other photos.
The father was standing on a flying sword, the little girl was holding onto her trouser legs from behind, afraid of falling, and the woman was riding on a broom, watching all this with a smile on her face.
There were laughter, tears, reunions, and arguments, but there were always three people together. But the strange thing was that the man looked like Su Lin, the woman looked like Irena, and the little girl... looked just like Irena in her childhood.
Su Lin's movements of packing up the photos suddenly slowed down. He turned his back to Irena, and some transparent liquid dripped onto the floor.
Accompanied by sobbing.
Irena looked at this scene and suddenly smiled with relief: "Is that so? I haven't woken up yet."
She took a last look at the rain and the white mist on the glass, her brows relaxed, and she pulled the quilt over herself.
"It's so warm, I must be having a nightmare~"
"Among the magics I've been researching these days, there seems to be a nightmare magic, and it may have gone out of control."
"I should have known better than to accept that commission, but they paid too much."
Time passed by minute by minute, and Irene, who felt that she was about to return to sleep, oh no, to return to the real world, was exceptionally calm.
Until there was a "bang"!
"Mom! Look, I can ride a broom!"
Irena opened her bloodshot eyes, jumped up, raised her magic wand and pointed it at Su Lin, and shouted, "Fake! It's all fake! Su Lin, what do you want to do?!"
"Wow~!!!" the little girl cried.
The little girl, who looked just like Irena, seemed to be frightened and looked over here timidly while holding a broom.
The vibration coming from the broom was undoubtedly Irena's broom.
"Calm down, you scared the child." Su Lin protected the girl behind him, covered her mouth, and his eyes were full of self-blame: "Don't do this, it's all my fault."
"Don't try to fool me!" Irena was shaking all over, the wand in her hand was trembling constantly, and her breathing rhythm was disordered: "What kind of setting is this!? Do you think I'm an idiot?! That guy's magic power is exactly the same as mine!"
Almost.
She was almost frightened by this nightmarish scene.
If it weren't for the broom lady in the hand of the little girl Irena who secretly told him about it and he had checked her magic power, he would have been confused by Irena who had become smaller for some reason and couldn't tell reality from reality.
"Stop acting or I'll kill you!"
Several magic bullets were fired and hit Su Lin directly on the head while he was still covering his mouth.
Blood splattered everywhere.
Under Irena's dull gaze, Su Lin walked out from the air and said, "There is a setting where the power is sometimes normal and sometimes lost. By the way, the main background setting is that one day countless years later, I was caught by you."
"You bastard!"
A barrage of magic bullets bombarded like a violent storm, and the miniature version of Irena was so scared that she quickly hid behind Su Lin.
"Do you have a setting for being grumpy when waking up? It's a cute point. Ah, how pitiful Mr. Su Lin is. In the script, he has to face such a guy every day." Su Lin picked up a small notebook and flipped through it, with a look of emotion on his face.
"I don't mind. It's not my room anyway. Will you bear the subsequent losses yourself?"
It was unknown how long it had been, probably until the witch, who was gasping for breath, had cleared her anger, that Su Lin dispersed the magic elements in the air.
"Terrible! Scumbag!" Irena hugged the quilt, huddled in the corner and looked at Su Lin, doubtful and uncertain: "You didn't do anything to me?!"
"They changed your clothes for you, and the pillow is the spare one in your closet. I slept on Shuijing Peak." Su Lin replied. He handed a bottle of potion to the miniature version of Irena behind him, who immediately turned around and ran away.
Irena looked at Su Lin with disdain and threw the extra pillow at him: "Lolita control! Pervert!"
This pillow, which has no offensive power, is naturally useless.
Su Lin picked up the soy milk and fried dough sticks and looked at them helplessly: "They are so limp and not tasty at all."
He walked towards the desk, slurping his breakfast.
"If you don't want to eat the bread, I'll take it away."
"."
Irena glanced around the room and finally got off the bed reluctantly.
"Get out after you finish eating, you lolita! Don't do weird things to other people's counterparts!"
"To be honest, I don't want to sit at the same table with Song Shuhang, Xiao Yan, and Emiya Shirou."
Su Lin waved his hand, crossed his legs and said casually:
"Where are you going? You haven't forgotten what you did, have you? I can't even go home now!"
Hearing Su Lin's words, Irena looked at him suspiciously, as if she didn't understand what Su Lin was saying at all.
Su Lin clicked his tongue and threw his phone onto the table.
Irena took it and saw that the note on it was "Mom" and there were a bunch of chat records.
[“The child told me everything about you two!”
"Even if you can't tell me about those things related to the gods, why don't you tell me about the child?!"
"As a parent, even if you haven't grown up yet, you should still shoulder the most basic responsibility!"
"Why don't you reply to the message?! Come back here quickly! The child doesn't recognize you two anymore!"
Twenty messages omitted.
"Forget it, don't come back! This shop was opened by your friends, why didn't you tell us earlier? They also invited us to have lunch there today."
"Take good care of my daughter-in-law first, and I'll help you take care of the child!"]
"Mr. Su Lin." Irena picked up a piece of bread and spread it with jam. "Excuse me, are you a scumbag? You actually did such a thing. The woman is also an irresponsible person. I am really worried about your future children."
Su Lin: "."
Without saying anything, Su Lin glanced at the full Wifi bar above and started the video call.
Not long after, the video call was connected.
In the picture, in a magnificent restaurant private room, the table is filled with various foods and snacks, and a little girl with gray hair and blue-purple eyes is happily eating an ice cream.
She looked at the video, squinted her eyes, showed a disdainful smile, and then made a face.
Well, there was also a group of familiar-looking guys dressed as chefs and waiters, secretly giving thumbs-up signs from behind.
When I get back, I'll kill you all.
Su Lin smiled kindly, and after making a friendly gesture on his neck, the camera suddenly turned to Su Lin's parents.
"Bedside fight..."
Before Su's mother could finish her words, Su Lin covered his ears with one hand and hung up the video. At the same time, he cast a clarity spell and blessing to make the witch's mind clearer, improving her memory and allowing her to remember more things.
At this point, explanation is of no use, and although escape is shameful, it is useful.
"Do you remember it?"
"I remembered a little bit, just a little bit."
After a long silence, Irena turned her head away with the bread in her mouth, while Su Lin picked up the bowl of tofu pudding sprinkled with oil and chili and started eating with an expressionless face.
When Su Lin finished breakfast and got up to leave, Irena said in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "Sorry."
"Too quiet."
"Feel sorry!"
Irena lowered her head and grabbed her clothes.
"Oh, so you meant sorry~" Su Lin took out his phone, turned on the camera and pointed it at the girl: "Say it again?"
Irena was visibly depressed, and her memory had actually almost recovered. Many things that happened during that period were indeed caused by her.
"I'm sorry..."
"Thank you."
Su Lin interrupted the other person, put down the phone, and said with a smile: "Thank you for coming. I will take the food away after you finish it."
Who is this guy who doesn't match the impression?
Irena was stunned for a moment, and then she found that the other party had pushed the door and left.
Numerous magic books are arranged in categories, the architectural style is Western, and the dome is made of colorful enamel glass.
After changing her clothes and putting on pantyhose, Irena walked towards the core area of the library while thinking about how to bring back the Irena who was given the rejuvenation potion.
"These two guys are getting more and more perverted."
"That's why it's not advisable to be in love."
"If we don't leave here, we will be killed."
"Maybe I'll be tied to the bed... Love is so scary."
"It's actually not that bad. I just accepted a photo commission, and the man named Su Lin gave me five magic books. He was quite generous."
"The money offensive is so terrifying! Those who took the rejuvenation potion also received an extra dose of rejuvenation potion."
There were all kinds of whispers in her ears. It was not the first time she heard such words, so Irena chose to ignore them.
"Next time, I'll exchange one and a half months' salary for a book on magic."
As she said this, she looked at the chat group for a while. Unexpectedly, the content of the conversation was very normal.
For example, Tony Stark is asking people to buy the essence of Tai Chi, hoping to make a program that can be directly loaded.
Shirou Emiya entrusted Song Shuhang to express his gratitude to Fairy Bie Xue on his behalf, so that the recipe could be used.
Zhongli and Reverend Bai gained something in the reincarnation space, and coupled with some relics from their previous trip to the Journey to the West, they wanted to follow Reverend Bai to a secret time realm somewhere in Song Shuhang’s world.
In short, this situation is like the calm before the storm.
Irena shook her head at this feeling and came to her exclusive location, the highest platform, in a green plantation.
There, a troublesome person was already sitting in the seat that should have belonged to her, enjoying coffee and reading a magic book under the bright light that came out from nowhere.
"You haven't gone back yet?" Irena asked.
I thought this person had left.
"Guess what I'll experience if I go back now?" Su Lin asked without turning his head.
Then can't you go back to Shuijing Peak, or back to your roots, back to Lingshan, back to the church, back to heaven?
Thinking of this person's multiple identities, even the knowledgeable witch felt dizzy.
Irena walked over and sat down opposite, sighing helplessly that her own leisure space had been borrowed by someone else.
"It's about time you learned magic on your own, right? Don't you think it's embarrassing that God asked someone to learn magic?"
"Only by separating work and life can one live a happier life. Besides, Song Shuhang, even after becoming the Heavenly Dao, still asked Venerable Bai for spells. What's wrong with me being lazy?"
Can't refute.
After all, there are precedents.
"Come to think of it, why don't you continue?" Su Lin closed the magic book in his hand and looked at the other party.
Irena glanced at Su Lin, not quite understanding: "Continue what?"
"The attitude you showed when I went to your house the day before yesterday, to be honest, if you hadn't shown your true colors yesterday, I would still be struggling with how to reject a girl."
"Narcissistic guy"
Irena was a little unhappy.
If it was just a passerby, it would be fine if he could just ignore it, but this guy is like this every time he comes to learn magic.
After thinking for a while, as if she had made a decision, Irena suppressed her shame, clasped her hands together, and said in a very "nerdy" tone: "Ah~ You like me like that? As long as you want, you can do it anytime~"
"Look how scared you are by Klein's bad mouth." Su Lin smiled slightly, put his elbow on his thigh, propped up his chin and looked at him:
"Of course, if a narcissistic, foul-mouthed, black-bellied, freeloading, trouble-averse, money-hungry, and sensual scumbag like you were really transformed into this, I might just go with the flow."
Irena gritted her teeth, veins popping out on her forehead, and forced a smile, "I don't know which otaku who has been a virgin for two lifetimes was so panicked that he wanted to run away the day before yesterday~ You're only good at talking."
But after responding to the other party, she realized something was wrong.
"How did you know?"
That look of being dependent on others, or giving up on herself, was indeed a deliberate disguise on her part to make Su Lin avoid her.
Nonsense, do you still believe that you have a crush on me?
Although Mr. Su is indeed a rare high-quality human male in this world, he is handsome and his hidden charm is gradually developed as he cultivates immortality.
Su Lin sneered, "You still believe that guy's bad words."
stare--
Facing the other party's indifferent gaze, Su Lin slowly faded the smile on his face, and said without a trace of emotion: "I admit that even I have to be a little bit in awe."
"You've become the God of Heaven!" Irena slammed the table and shouted, "If you keep going like this, swallowing up other universes will be a small matter, but my lifelong happiness will be in big trouble!"
And something was so wrong. When Irena came to her senses, she realized that everything she had experienced in the past two days was so wrong!
Not only did he fail to make the guy on the other side distance himself, but in the eyes of outsiders,
Luckily, my parents didn’t misunderstand me, and my mom’s insight is as good as ever.
Irena breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "Anyway, you have to think of a solution for me. That kind of thing is extremely terrifying!"
"Do you hate me so much?" Su Lin suddenly looked dejected.
In an instant, Irena remembered what the woman named Liu Ruyan said and became a little flustered.
"No, that's not it." Irena waved her hand and consoled him, "Not really. You know how I feel about these things. You can definitely find something better! How about you take a look at those Irena?"
"No, to be honest, I also think that crow's mouth is a bit troublesome." Su Lin took out the Azure Jade Sword from the system backpack:
"Since I gained the position of Heavenly Emperor, I feel like the next level of seal can be lifted now. I should be able to give him a quick death."
"Let's just spare his life..." Irena said after a mental struggle.
"Really?" Su Lin thought about it and there was no other way except to silence him. Even if he was silenced, he, the top of the Gou San family, might still survive.
Finally, the situation returned to what it was just now.
"Aren't you afraid that I will really accept my fate?" Irena looked at Su Lin in confusion, and then pulled away a little: "Of course, if you are really obsessed with the Gray Witch, I can understand."
"She is a beautiful girl in everyone's eyes. It is normal for anyone to be captured by her, no matter if the other person is a man or a woman. She is a witch with a beauty that can be called peerless in many worlds."
She placed her right hand on her chest and chuckled:
"Yes, it's me~"
Su Lin rolled his eyes. At least Venerable Bai.
He suddenly fell silent, then he clenched his fist and tapped his forehead lightly, trying to crush those distracting thoughts.
Everything is fine, except this kind of thought. What if it doesn’t work in the next draw?
"You think too much." Su Lin raised his head and said helplessly: "I just know that you are not the type to accept your fate."
"Really?" Irena was a little surprised.
Su Lin nodded slightly, picked up the cup of still warm coffee, and said, "If you give up because of that crow's mouth, it's not like you."
"No matter what you don't like or accept, you will find a way to overcome it, even if it's very difficult. Just like when you first wanted to become a witch, you endured all kinds of difficulties until you achieved your goal."
"Besides, what you want is to travel and see more scenery, right?"
Hearing these words, Irena nodded in surprise: "You... really understand?"
She certainly wouldn't give up just because Klein's crow's mouth was too effective.
"After all, I've seen anime before, and your profile is everywhere."
“Just as I expected.”
But those are not complete, they are just various aspects expressed through various media.
"And through these years of getting along, I can more or less feel that your unyielding character is the same in all aspects." Su Lin stared at the mirror of the coffee, which reflected the colorful dome:
"But I think it's totally unnecessary for you to focus on this matter. After all, that guy's words are not enough to change a person's will."
Although it is exaggerated now.
It only took a few words to go from doubt to awe and finally to the conclusion that this boy must not be kept.
"."
Irena felt that what Su Lin said made sense. After calming down, she thought back and realized that what she had done was more or less unnecessary.
"Besides, in the movie script, you are obsessed with me. Are you obsessed with me?"
Su Lin responded with a disdainful expression.
"That's it." Su Lin shook his head and smiled.
"You just need to be yourself. If you like traveling, go see more scenery and record it in your handbook. If you don't like the fate that has been arranged for you, just say it directly, don't hold anything in."
"By the way, my Tianwang is running 24 hours a day. Just being good-looking won't make me fall in love with you, so you don't have to worry about it. Anyway, even if you are pushed into the wedding hall the next day, you will not give up your plan to change your destiny."
"after all.."
Su Lin paused here, pointed at the peers who were killing time in the library below, and said with a bit of amusement: "You are actually a bit biased~ but your personality is not as obvious as those."
"So those fifteen guys can't be the protagonists." Irena folded her hands and said, "What's wrong with having no personality? It means anything is possible."
Su Lin's face was calm: "So, are you still worried about that future you don't like?"
Irena was stunned for a moment, then shook her head slightly: "No..."
"After all, I have been a psychologist for more than ten years. It is a piece of cake for me to counsel a troubled girl like you." Su Lin placed the unfinished cup of coffee on the table in front of the other person.
"You don't have to do those things deliberately, and you don't have to continue like you did the past two days, because to me, you are the Irene I know now."
A milky white pattern appeared on the mirror surface of the coffee, it was a pattern of a witch riding a broom.
When Irena's pupils suddenly shrank as they reflected the latte art.
"By the way, the fees for this consultation and the money for the wand last time will be deducted from your dividends from the Zhatian Chamber of Commerce."
As Su Lin's figure disappeared, a magic bullet pierced through the sofa he was sitting on, leaving a hole of neither deep nor shallow.
"hateful!"
Feeling inexplicably unhappy, she opened a dimensional crack and tracked down Su Lin's location, only to see that he was at the top of a skyscraper, facing the sea of clouds and the rising sun, holding a man in each hand, pinching their necks and hanging them outside the guardrail.
"Uh"
The person in his right hand was Mr. Crow Fool, who had a blank expression and a calm look on his face.
The person in his left hand was Lu Mingfei, who had a terrified look on his face and a strong desire to survive.
"Irena, what's the matter?" Su Lin turned his head, his smile brighter than ever before.
without..
I wanted to say this.
But the information and the price of life...are just too much.
Irena hesitated for a moment and said, "I have something to do with them."
Su Lin brought the two people back from the rooftop, gently let them land on the ground, and tidied their clothes one by one.
"You have to choose between wearing a miniskirt and taking photos or the latest version of the Holy Monument."
"Of course, you can also choose your own love stories. I promise to just be a spectator."
After leaving behind a rather terrifying threat, Su Lin disappeared again.
It was not easy for Irena to catch up at this time.
“You really don’t want to consider it?” Lu Mingfei came back to his senses from despair: “I think it would be better if someone could restrain him!”
“Although he likes fun and has no humanity, he is still a good boy.” Klein smiled and said, “At least he didn’t kill me right now.”
"If I were cursed to die if I didn't choose a man, I would choose him," Irena curled her lips.
"Okay." Lu Mingfei shrugged, put his arm around Klein's shoulder, and said, "Let's go have a drink to celebrate the day we survived today."
"What should I choose? I feel it's easier to be killed once." Klein said.
Looking at the backs of the two people who were about to leave, especially Lu Mingfei, Yirena suddenly remembered something and took out a photo from her fixed different dimension:
"Lu Mingfei, I'll give it back to you."
Lu Mingfei turned his head to look at the other person, and his whole body froze in place for a moment.
Klein's pupils shrank and his body tensed up, like a cat on alert.
"Why is it with you?" Lu Mingfei's Adam's apple moved: "Are you sure I gave it to you?"
"Last time when Stark first joined the group, after we drank on the planet created by Su Lin, you promoted Su Lin to me and I rejected you, so you gave it to me. Have you forgotten?"
Irena looked at Lu Mingfei and said, "Don't do anything to let Eri down! Although this girl is indeed the prettiest I've ever seen."
Irena took another look, walked over and handed the photo back to Lu Mingfei.
“Why did you just remember it today?” Lu Mingfei forced an ugly smile: “I’ve been looking for it for a long time.”
"I can't remember what happened after I got drunk yesterday. Su Lin cast a spell on me and reviewed all my past memories."
Irena felt that Lu Mingfei's expression was too strange, and Klein beside him also felt a little strange, so she pulled her hand back the moment he was about to take the photo back:
"Who is it? Otherwise I'll go ask Su Lin and others."
She was a person whose temperament was sacred and inviolable, and any compliments would pale in comparison to her. Although her eyes were staring blankly ahead, like a puppet, the moment the photo was frozen, the unprecedented ethereality and sacredness formed an aesthetic art.
There were several spirit insects on Klein's face struggling to escape. He stretched out his gloved right hand to press them back and said, "Exclude the others."
"What?" Irena didn't react.
"Once upon a time, we captured a historical projection with the Godhead of Light in its body. Although the original body escaped,..."
Between the period of probation and immediate execution, Mr. Fool rationally chose probation.
He had a premonition that if this matter got out, he would be implicated by Lu Mingfei.
But as he was talking, Klein noticed something was wrong: "Why is your face so red?"
"Nothing." It was just a feeling. Many inexplicable emotions merged with Su Lin's annoying face. It was not good. This feeling...
Tick tick
"Why is your nose bleeding?" Lu Mingfei tried to take back the photo.
As soon as he stretched out his hand, the witch in front of him disappeared without a trace.
