The witch girl, Keziah Mason's pale green eyes were sharp. It was as if she could see through them that they had transcended time and space.
Gu Jun's heart skipped a beat. He shared a look with Yu Chi and asked, "What do you mean?"
"You are two strange cone-shaped creatures." Keziah Mason said, "You are currently possessing the bodies of these two men."
She could tell. Was this the Keziah Mason from 1692 or 2022?
Gu Jun quickly analyzed the situation. History was shrouded in fog. The Salem Witch Case might be a series of unjust cases at the Phecda World but in this world, there might be some kind of dark force involved.
According to the warden, this Keziah Mason managed to open a dimensional door in her cell to escape …
In other words, she could have left at any time but she chose to stay here.
Yu Chi did not say anything. He let Gu Jun do the talking. After all, Gu Jun was more familiar with this witch and he was more interested in the oil lamp in his hand.
"Then what are you?" Gu Jun asked.
He had a feeling Keziah Mason was the witch but he could not see through her facade. Even now, he could not see through her.
If this beautiful girl suddenly turned into a hideous old witch, he would not be surprised, perhaps that would be more reasonable.
"I am the only living member of the Mason family." Keziah Mason said, "I'm 17, I'm beautiful, I inherited 10,000 pounds and a big house at Arkham. I live here, in a new world, so what do you think I am? "
"Sirs, have you heard the story of Little Red Riding Hood?" She showed a smile, "I am Little Red Riding Hood who was targeted by a pack of wolves."
Gu Jun stared at the witch's beautiful face. A woman like her would be a good liar.
"Your house is filled with occultism," Gu Jun said. The original Sam Manes had never been to Arkham, but he had heard a lot about it. His mind was filled with his own imagination and the fear it brought. "Everyone says you've made a deal with Satan."
"If Little Red Riding Hood wants to live, she naturally has to learn some skills to protect herself." Keziah Mason's voice was calm like she was talking about someone else's business. "The Masons are all devout Christians. But my father died, my mother died, my brother died … There was no reason for it. They just fell ill. You could say it was fate. Since God does not love my family, is there a problem for me to seek out other forces? Maybe I'm a sinner. "
"Then did you find it?" Gu Jun asked, not making a judgment.
"Yes." Keziah Mason nodded. "It's a powerful force, it's suitable for me to worship."
Gu Jun had heard her talk about it before, and he would hear her talk about it in the future. "An existence with a thousand faces?"
"A thousand faces?" The girl seemed to be slightly startled, and the corners of her mouth gradually curled up even more. She murmured, "So this is what I was looking for."
Yu Chi picked up the hint and couldn't help but look at his friend. 'Did she just say that we were the ones who showed her the way?'
Gu Jun frowned. Did he really just blurt it out? What kind of cause and effect was this … Or perhaps it was another of the witch's tricks …
"I understand now." Keziah Mason shuffled around. The chains on her ankles clanked noisily. There was a brighter light in her eyes.
"Gentlemen, I used to be like other ordinary people, foolishly believing that the world is what we see it to be. I thought that time was linear, one day after another, and that it would continue like this. But you've made me understand that it is not. Our eyes have blinded us. Time is a circle, a curve, a superposition, a cycle … but it is not a straight line. "
Gu Jun listened to her. Even though he was wary and annoyed by her words, he agreed with her.
Because he had been through it several times and was still going through it.
"We'll get to know each other in the future, right?" Keziah Mason looked at him. "Me and you, not this fat man."
Yu Chi opened his mouth and almost said, 'Actually, I'm not fat …'
"Sir, you hate me, I can see that." The girl smiled. "But have you ever considered that I have no other choice in the future? When this meeting happened, my path was already laid out. Because you came and brought me this message, I had to follow your instructions. I had to believe in the existence with 1000 faces, use the occultism and become a witch. Or else you wouldn't have come and this conversation wouldn't have happened. I wouldn't have understood. I might die in this cell. No one will push you forward and everything will be messed up. "
She shook her head and sighed. It was unclear whether she was sighing for her fate or something else.
"So, I'm trapped. You've placed a space-time shackle on me. From then on, until I met you, until you arrived, I had no other choice. I just don't know, does this mean you've changed space-time or …? This is how things are supposed to go. "
"I didn't say anything." Gu Jun's voice was heavy.
Now she was in the cell, and he was standing outside.
But suddenly, because of her words, he also felt the prison that enveloped him.
"You didn't say anything, that's why this is bad."
At some point, a trace of sadness flashed across the pair of pale green eyes. "Only when facing an enemy. You're not some savior who descended from the sky to save a witch who was about to be burned to death. None of you are. We need to be enemies in the future. Isn't everything already arranged? Whatever you hate, I have to do. Are you trying to tell me that you hate the light? "
Yu Chi's heart chilled with anxiety. The girl was a very careful thinker, it was hard to argue with that …
If she did not become the witch, Gu Jun would not have arrived at the oak forest, would not have transmigrated to the Wasteland World, would not have arrived at Pnakotus, would not have returned to 1692 …
Space-Time shackle?
"You don't know who I am and you don't know who he is." Gu Jun was confused.
"I believe I will find out in the future." Keziah Mason said softly, "What I really don't know is, after this space-time shackle ends, will this path to the abyss still be my only path?"
Gu Jun's mind was a mess. Assuming this girl really had not started her journey as a witch.
Then, why did the Yith send us here? Could it be that this was the way to complete a time circle?
What if not?
"What do you think will happen if I kill you now?" He asked.
