"Perhaps you want to kill me and that will be the way things are supposed to be?"
Keziah Mason looked at the two calmly. "From how I see it, in this situation, we are all prisoners of time and space, unable to move freely. Because no matter what we do, it might be the way it should be or it might be twisted into the way it should be. "
The gloomy and damp underground prison fell into silence.
Gu Jun had to admit that she was right. This was a paradox, a trap and they were both trapped in it.
But … no matter what the girl said, thought or her true self, she would become pure evil in the future.
People would change, especially those who came into contact with darkness. Their mind and body would become completely different.
"What do you think the existence with the 1000 faces is? What is its name? "
Gu Jun asked. He wondered if it was he who told the witch about this existence or the witch who told him.
"I can't really tell." Keziah Mason shook her head. "But since there are 1000 faces, shouldn't there be many different names?"
"I believe there will always be a name." As Gu Jun said this, the images of the medical workers crushed to death by the oak tree flashed in his mind. The children with Tourette Syndrome and their parents caused the anger that had been building up in his heart to boil …
After arriving at this world, the witch's power disappeared. Where did it go? Could it be possessed by the girl before him?
What kind of evil was hidden under this seemingly beautiful face?
But for her, none of these things had happened yet. Should the blame be placed on her head …
Gu Jun could not figure it out, but he was unwilling and could not allow things to end just like that. There had to be some changes.
If everyone was a chess piece, walking a prearranged path, then who was the one playing the chess?
The Yith? The existence with a thousand faces? Time and space itself?
"I still have to try." Gu Jun said as he searched around his waist. With a clank, he picked up a key to the cell. "Miss Mason, we are indeed enemies but you are wrong about one thing. You will be a philanthropist in the future. We don't like many of the good deeds you have done. "
Yu Chi looked at his companions. What was this?
Keziah Mason chuckled as if she knew he had said the opposite. "I have 10,000 pounds but I have never thought of doing charity with it."
"You will in the future, if you can survive." Gu Jun used the key to unlock the iron lock of the cell door and pulled it open, making a creaking sound.
"You can't do it." Keziah Mason stared at him. "I can see that, sir. You are the kindhearted one."
Gu Jun's heart tightened. It was indeed difficult to make a move. The girl in front of him might not have fallen into darkness yet … Would she and the future witch be the same person … If he killed her now, would it be considered killing an innocent person … In addition to the shackles of time and space, was there such a moral dilemma …
"You are wrong again!" He suddenly grabbed the girl's slender neck with both hands, squeezing hard, and pushed her against the wall with a bang.
The girl's face immediately turned red, and her body instinctively struggled. However, a girl's strength was no match for an adult man's, and her hands and feet were tied up, so she couldn't struggle. Her eyes were bloodshot, and tears gushed out as she let out a whimper.
"Captain Gu!" Yu Chi hesitated. The fat face of the body he was attached to was also red.
The girl's face turned purplish. Her eyes rolled back and her body tensed. Death was so close …
However, all of a sudden, she could breathe again. She immediately burst into a series of painful coughs, gasping for breath.
Gu Jun took a deep breath and clenched his fists. At that moment, he could not feel the witch's power. She was not, not yet.
"I am still right …" Keziah Mason coughed. She smiled bitterly, "How bad must I be for you to do this to me, sir …"
At that moment, there was a flurry of footsteps. A few prison guards hurried over. "Sam, what are you doing?!"
They looked at the cell with shock and suspicion. "That is a witch, how dare you touch her?" "For God's sake."
"Do you know something, Sam?" One of the guards with a hooked nose asked in a low voice. His tone was suggestive.
The prison guards had more information than the civilians. They had a better understanding of what was happening in Salem and Arkham. They knew that some people were just plain unlucky. This Keziah Mason … Rumor had it that she was targeted for her family's wealth and the so-called mysticism knowledge at her family was a setup …
Now look at what Sam has done. She was almost dead. If she was really a witch, she wouldn't have ended up like this.
A wave of restlessness quietly arose among the prison guards. Looking at that beautiful face, that youthful beauty ….
Everyone knew the girl's family background. She was the only one left. Even if she died in the cell, no one would care. She was just a witch.
Furthermore, no matter what she said, no one would believe her.
"I received the news …" Gu Jun sensed something was off. "This girl is a witch."
Everyone on the other side was amused. Who didn't know what kind of person Sam Manes was? If that was really a witch, he would be the fastest person to run away.
When there was a chance, he would be the fastest to escape.
"I see." The hooked nose guard walked to the cell with a smile. "Then I'll have to interrogate her."
Seeing that the prison guards were up to no good, Yu Chi said anxiously, "Don't do anything stupid, that's the judge's job!"
"What are you acting for? Get lost!" The hooked nose guard shoved his fat colleague away. "Sam, get out here, it's my turn."
At that moment, both Gu Jun and Yu Chi felt their consciousness become unstable inside this body. The more anxious they became, the more they wanted to escape … This made them lose control of their bodies. Even speaking became difficult.
Keziah Mason had not recovered. She looked at the approaching prison guards and a strange smile appeared on her face. It was as if she had seen her own fate.
"Sirs, I understand now. So that's how it is … So that's where my power comes from …"
"No …" Gu Jun wanted to stop the hooked nose guard from approaching her but he felt himself drifting away from the body.
"We are all prisoners of time …" Keziah Mason continued in a language that the prison guards could not understand. Her face turned from purplish red to pale white. "We cannot understand any of this but we don't need to understand any of this …"
Suddenly, the sound of a cat meowing rang out in the underground prison.
Gu Jun saw a fat multi-colored cat rush out from the empty corner of the cell. It leaped onto the hooked nose guard's face.
Its two claws scratched furiously. The skin split open and blood splattered. The hooked nose guard screamed. The other prison guards gasped.
