For Fangzheng, this was just an ordinary night.
After the meeting with the higher-ups of Starlink, he returned to the Lightning, washed up, yawned, and lay down on his bed. He closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Then … …
"Pfft!!!"
A sudden impact came from his body. When Fangzheng opened his eyes again, he saw two girls stepping on him.
"Ah, sorry."
One of the girls hurriedly apologized to him, while the other stared in front of her.
"Hurry up, we only have an hour!"
As she said that, she grabbed the hand of the girl in front of her and was about to leave. At the same time, Fangzheng discovered that he was not in the cabin of the Lightning, but in a place that looked like a park. In the distance, he could see a tower that was under construction.
So, his spiritual body had transmigrated?
"Wait a minute."
Fangzheng hurriedly jumped up and stood in front of the two girls. He could feel the aura of time on the two girls, so he was sure that they were the reason why Fangzheng's spiritual body appeared here.
"You want to leave after stepping on someone?"
Fangzheng was not the kind of masochistic pervert who would get excited just because girls looked at him as if they were looking at trash and scum while lifting up their skirts to show him how fat they were. He would not let them off just because they were beautiful girls and not fat aunties. What kind of joke was this? He was sleeping soundly when he was suddenly dragged to this place and stepped on by beautiful girls who fell from the sky. How could he let it go with just an apology?
If this was in a game, beautiful girls who fell from the sky and rode on the male protagonist would have to repay the male protagonist with their bodies. Do you understand?
"You want to leave after stepping on someone? Besides, I was sleeping in my room. It's your doing that I'm here, isn't it? I can smell the aura of time on the two of you … So, you're doing time travel? What are you trying to do? "
"Huh?!"
The two girls were stunned when they heard Fangzheng's answer. Then, their expressions became tense.
"What are you trying to do?"
"That's my problem. What are the two of you trying to do by manipulating time and dragging me into this?"
"… What if we don't want to answer you?"
Upon hearing this, one of the girls with short purple hair asked coldly. Upon hearing her question, Fangzheng pricked up his brows and snapped his fingers.
"Then you don't have to go anywhere. Just stay here obediently."
As soon as Fangzheng's voice fell, the two young girls' bodies were instantly fixed on the spot. Both of their expressions changed drastically when they noticed this. Then, the leading girl looked at Fangzheng again.
"Who are you?"
"As you can see, it's the unlucky person who got dragged into this mess by you. So, are you going to tell us or not? I was going to have a good dream in bed, but I didn't expect to be stepped on as soon as I closed my eyes. When I opened my eyes, I found myself in a strange place. If you don't give me a good explanation, don't blame me for being rude. "
Fangzheng was not the kind of idiotic protagonist in anime and games who would do whatever others told him to do when he got into trouble for no reason. Even if she was a beautiful girl, she should not step on his body!
Of course, if she stepped on his face, he might be able to see it from that angle, so it was not a loss for him to eat it.
But now, not only did he not see it, but he was also stepped on by the two girls. Fangzheng had suffered a huge loss.
"…"
Faced with Fangzheng's question, the two were silent for a moment. Then, the leading purple-haired girl sighed.
"Okay, I'll tell you."
Then, the purple-haired girl explained their situation to Fangzheng. They were witches. The purple-haired girl was the 'Lavender Witch' Estelle. The reason why she reversed time and came here was to save her childhood sweetheart. In Estelle's timeline, her childhood sweetheart, Serena's family was attacked by bandits at this time. Her parents were killed by the bandits, and Serena was spared because she was away.
But after that, Serena was sent to her uncle's house and was abused by him. Then, she killed her uncle and awakened the thrill of killing and became a murderer.
Ten years later, Estelle caught Serena, who killed for fun, and killed her with her own hands. The pain of killing her best friend was unbearable for Estelle. In the end, she came up with a solution, which was to study magic to reverse time and return to that time ten years ago in order to prevent the tragedy from happening. In Estelle's opinion, as long as Serena's parents were not killed by the bandits, there would not be such a future.
"But the future …"
"I know."
As soon as Fangzheng spoke, Estelle interrupted him.
"I know that even if I change this past, my future won't change. Serena can be saved in another future. But as long as I know that there is a possibility of her being saved and that she can live happily in another future, I can let go of the obsession in my heart."
"You have a good mentality. If everyone who transmigrated through time had the same mentality as you, many things wouldn't be so troublesome."
After hearing Estelle's answer, Fangzheng nodded, snapped his fingers, and released the two of them.
"Alright, if you want to go, then go. But I have a condition. I want to go with you … Since we're already here, I also want to see how your plan will end."
"…"
"It doesn't matter if you don't want to bring me along. I'll catch up with you anyway."
"Alright then, let's go."
Perhaps they felt that it was meaningless to argue with Fangzheng, or perhaps they were worried that it would be a waste of time, the two young ladies didn't say much. They picked up the broom, sat on it, and left. They didn't ask Fangzheng to follow them. But on the other hand, it was tantamount to a challenge of 'if you can keep up with me'.
Of course, Fangzheng didn't mind.
The two Demonesses flew in the sky while Fangzheng followed them silently. Although the two Demonesses deliberately chose a rather difficult route, it wasn't difficult for Fangzheng.
But at that moment, the purple-haired Demoness suddenly stopped moving. She turned around, landed, and hugged a little girl on the street below tightly in her arms.
"Serena!"
"Huh? Huh??? "
On the other side, a girl with long blue hair was in Estelle's arms in a daze. She looked surprised.
"Big Sister, who are you?"
"Ugh … Ugh …"
However, Estelle just hugged the girl in her arms and couldn't help but cry bitterly.
"I'm sorry I couldn't save you. I'm really, really sorry!!"
That should be what she had always wanted to say to her childhood sweetheart, but she couldn't say it out loud.
"Is, is this the temptation of some new religion?"
"Ah, I'm sorry. I'm actually from the future …"
"Huh? Huh? "
Serena looked rather perplexed at Estelle's words. She took a few steps back and hurriedly bowed her head.
"I'm sorry!!!"
After saying that, the girl hurriedly ran away. Estelle sat there, closed her eyes, and said softly.
"Stare at me, Serena."
"That girl is the friend you want to save?"
At this time, Fangzheng also came to Estelle's side, looked at the girl's back and asked, while Estelle nodded.
"That's right."
"Hmm …"
Fangzheng touched his chin and stared at the girl's back.
"You said that this girl was abused by her uncle and killed him. She awakened the joy of killing and became a Man Killer Ghost. Is that so?"
"Yes."
"So before this, was she living a happy life?"
"What's wrong?"
Hearing Fangzheng's question, Estelle looked at him doubtfully.
"That girl showed signs of being abused for a long time."
Fangzheng said calmly. He had taken care of so many cursed children and met many abused children, so Fangzheng could tell that although the girl named Serena looked normal on the surface, she was actually not normal.
"When she was hugged by you, she had a moment of conditioned reflex, most likely because your hug hurt her. Also, her posture is subtly uncoordinated, and what you said … Forget it. "
Fangzheng waved his hand.
"What do you plan to do next?"
"I plan to leave the house with her parents and let my companion stay behind. If the robbers come, she will be responsible for stopping them. I will protect Serena's parents."
"Oh … By the way, has the robber who attacked Serena's family been caught?"
"No … Why do you ask?"
"Then, I advise you to be careful."
Hearing Estelle's question, Fangzheng smiled.
"Maybe the robber doesn't exist."
"… …?"
In the end, Estelle went to the house according to plan and left with Serena's parents, while Fangzheng and the other witch stayed in the alley, waiting for the robber to come.
"Why did you say that the robber doesn't exist?"
At this time, the witch also looked at Fangzheng curiously and asked. She had short silver-gray hair and wore a black witch hat and a cloak.
"You are …"
"I'm Ileena, the Gray Witch Ileena."
"Miss Ileena, nice to meet you. I'm Fangzheng."
Fangzheng nodded at Ileena and glanced at her hand.
"Are you and Miss Estelle a couple?"
"Eh? Why do you say that? "
"Because you're wearing the same ring?"
Fangzheng said while pointing at Ileena's finger. The latter was stunned for a moment before she reacted.
"No, it's just a tool to transmit magical power! Because it takes a lot of magical power to reverse time and travel to the past, Miss Estelle needs my help. "
"I see."
"By the way, you haven't told me why you said that the robber doesn't exist."
"I was curious just now, so I scanned the girl."
Fangzheng said while opening his personal terminal and displayed Serena's personal information.
"What's this?"
"Serena's physical condition. There are many old injuries on her body … This means that she has been subjected to violence. And here … Can you understand?"
"… Suffered injuries … What do you mean?"
"To put it simply, this girl has been raped."
Fangzheng turned off his personal terminal and looked at Ileena.
"And more than once. Do you understand what I mean?"
"So what you're saying is …"
Hearing this, Irena's jaw dropped.
"That robber … doesn't exist. Serena is the one who killed Serena's parents, and her parents have been abusing her all this time? He even treated her … "
"It's just a deduction. There's no evidence."
Fangzheng shrugged.
"So we just need to watch. If the robber really appears, then I'm just spouting nonsense. If the robber doesn't appear … "
However, before Fangzheng could finish his sentence, Ileena's ring suddenly emitted a dazzling light and connected a line to the depths of the alley.
"… Well, looks like we'll have a good show to watch."
Looking at the line of light, Fangzheng shrugged. Ileena gritted her teeth and ran over quickly without saying a word.
