Jiang Kehan tried to retrieve the gem, but it swayed gently, as if mocking her weakness.
She fell silent, withdrew her hand, and stood there blankly to the side, clutching the long staff.
After naming the gemstone, Mita seemed to regard it as her friend, whispering secrets to it every day and even sleeping with it in her arms.
Until one day, as if it were the most natural thing in the world, a merchant saw her jewel and pulled her to his side with a smile.
"Can you sell me this stone?"
Xiaomita tried to break free, but the merchant was very strong and left bright red marks on her hands without mercy.
"I can exchange it for a silver coin~" the merchant said meaningfully.
Her struggles gradually subsided, and there was no wavering in her eyes.
One silver coin is equal to one hundred and twenty copper coins, enough to last a long time... Xiaomita looked at the merchant warily and spoke.
"You have to give me the money first."
The merchant smiled and gave her the money, then picked up the gemstone with his handkerchief, clearly disgusted by the smell on Mita.
Jiang Kehan could no longer hold back and snatched the gem from the merchant's hand, her eyes trembling slightly.
"Solitaire, do you want to continue?"
Solita's voice no longer carried the arrogance and madness of the beginning, but only the lingering echo of destruction.
"Kehan, have you ever experienced the merciless betrayal after having hope?"
Perhaps, even if she hesitated for a moment, I can comfort myself with that thought…
Jiang Kehan didn't speak. She felt as if the world had frozen in time. After she took the gem, no one else moved.
"Perhaps, in the destruction to come, I can find a sliver of solace." Solita was still speaking when the gem in Jiang Kehan's hand suddenly shattered.
They turned to ashes, foreshadowing the final fate of the gems after falling into the hands of merchants.
In front of Jiang Kehan, black hair appeared in the sky, on the ground, and on people's bodies, converging into a single figure.
She wasn't as cold and manic as Jiang Kehan had imagined; on the contrary, she had a soft, gentle aura.
Her black hair reached her waist, and the black dress, resembling mourning attire, made her appear somewhat frail. She wasn't tall, but she could look Jiang Kehan in the eye.
"Hello, Kehan, hahaha..." Her real voice was a little weak, but very crazy.
Solita looked at Jiang Kehan in front of her and grinned, half crying and half laughing.
"Perhaps, I can find a sliver of solace in this endless cycle of reincarnation!!!"
Chapter 111 My blood has been spilled all over the world.
The sky darkened, not with dark clouds, but with particles resembling blood, which gathered and gradually obscured the sky.
Then, these particles also appeared on the ground, lifting Solita up. She held a large sword with a serrated blade, nearly two meters long, in one hand, and her smile began to disappear.
She questioned Jiang Kehan, her eyes like withered flowers.
"Since you've chosen to end this mime show early, does that mean you already know the answer to the puppet's mystery?"
The wind blew across Jiang Kehan's face, causing her hair to flutter forward and obscure her complexion. The surrounding trees swayed and rustled, creating a somewhat noisy atmosphere.
"Well, I know everything."
The crimson particles behind Solita transformed into a chair filled with an ominous aura. She sat down with her legs crossed, looking down at Jiang Kehan with her head slightly tilted and her tone chilling.
"So what do you think it is? Hahaha."
"I hope you don't end up like me, or I might just kill you!"
Finally, her seemingly joking tone was filled with chill as she stared intently at Jiang Kehan, brandishing her large knife, with even more particles brewing behind her.
The outline of a colossal creature was drawn.
But Jiang Kehan simply rested her long cane on the ground and stared straight at Solita.
"The puppets sought the power of immortality and the power to change you, and in the end, they succeeded."
They came into contact with your magic, and ultimately could not resist its corrupting influence, turning into motionless puppets.
"Is that all?" Solita's eyes seemed to show both disappointment and relief.
"If that's all there is to it, then you've probably wasted your time watching this silent film."
Jiang Kehan gently shook her head, raised her long staff, and issued a declaration towards Solita.
The pressure from the magic countered the malice around them, restoring calm to the trees and making Solita's expression somewhat unpleasant.
Jiang Kehan's strength exceeded her expectations.
"No, because apart from these people, the others are the real puppets in the story. They willingly sacrificed themselves for civilization, which is why they look so healthy."
Jiang Kehan opened her arms towards Solita, and countless leaves appeared out of thin air and then danced in the air.
Each piece records a little beauty, including Dave, and others who have become supporting characters in the silent film.
Jiang Kehan spoke with a hint of sadness as she looked at Solita, who was covering her face, and told her the truth.
"Those who torment you become your puppets, while the other innocent people who willingly accept death are the real puppets."
They all have their own destinies, except for you, Solita.
They never cared about you from beginning to end.
The puppet became a puppet with a smile, and it was voluntary. That story has never been concealed; it's just that the way it's presented can easily lead to misunderstandings.
The silent film isn't just about the corner where the gem is, but about everywhere under the sky.
Jiang Kehan only understood this problem after meeting Xiao Tammy and using her God's perspective based on magic.
The reason why the lord's body was not dismembered was because he was an important puppet.
Why would a thief be attracted to Solita, who has no magic? Because she possesses her own hidden magic.
And why, so many more people are incredibly healthy.
"Haha, you didn't disappoint me, Kehan."
Although she was smiling, Solita's tone revealed only deep weariness and loneliness.
She moved her hand away, stood up, and the huge silhouette behind her became a reality at that moment. It was pitch black, tens of meters tall, like a small mountain standing tall.
Amidst the roar of the dark behemoth, Solita completed the final piece of the puzzle for Jiang Kehan's analysis.
"However, there's one thing you still haven't noticed, Kehan."
"I can keep others healthy, and it's not just out of kindness."
Solita transformed into dark red particles once more, then reappeared above the giant beast's head. She stared at the wary Jiang Kehan, revealing a ferocious smile.
"Didn't I promise you that I would show you my true appearance if you solved the riddle?"
Take a good look, see why I've gone crazy, hahaha!!!
The sky began to shatter, and the earth turned into dark flesh and blood. Jiang Kehan's figure flashed and appeared in mid-air, chanting a protective spell as she watched all of this in disbelief.
How could this be so powerful?
This is definitely not the strength a normal little witch should have. Even if the opponent is stronger than the little witch because of their own condition, they shouldn't be this strong!
In Jiang Kehan's perception, this "spell" was actually larger than the detection range of her magic power, it was practically boundless.
Solita was as if her hands and feet were bound by chains, only her soul could move again. She could no longer maintain her form and turned into a gem once more.
But her voice came from all directions.
"Jiang Kehan, although I don't know what my other kind are like, by the time I truly have the ability to change everything, it will be too late."
Before that, I wandered to every corner of this world, and everyone would betray me, bringing danger and deception.
Hahaha, but thankfully, I'm not going to die, I'm not going to die!!!
Solita's voice gradually became frantic. Perhaps she was the one who most longed for death, but in the decades that had passed since she became a witch, she had been completely dominated by her witch-like instincts and could only live.
"From one end of the sky to the other, my flesh and blood have left their mark in every place."
My blood has been spilled all over this world…
Jiang Kehan struggled to maintain the protective spell, her face filled with undisguised surprise and shock.
Doesn't this mean...? She suddenly looked at the gem, which was Solita's soul.
"You guessed right, by the time I had the power to decide everything, it was too late."
Solita's voice offered no remembrance, only a deathly murmur.
"The silent film you saw was merely the opening act of my suffering, an insignificant opening act. When I truly underwent a qualitative change, magic and flesh had already entangled the entire world."
From that moment on, I am the land beneath your feet, I am everything you see.
I am the stage for everything!!!
Jiang Kehan moved her lips, but couldn't say anything. The other person's wound was directly displayed to her, and its size not only exceeded her expectations, but also made her feel like she had a heart attack.
I... I've never felt so powerless before. She suddenly understood the other person's madness and began to feel sorry for them.
The distance between the two of them has never been shortened.
"I can maintain the health of others because I want to see if, in the endless cycle of reincarnation, someone will give me even the slightest illusion to alleviate the cruelty brought by immortality."
but……"
Solita's tone softened, tinged with regret.
"Just as you said, nobody cares about me, this oddball, even though this endless silent play keeps repeating itself, until it has gathered my only companion."
"A monster formed from resentment, calamity, contempt, and all despair."
Solita gave a soft whistle, while the pitch-black behemoth roared at Jiang Kehan, asserting its presence.
"A sin that is utterly and completely evil."
After she finished speaking, the gemstone dimmed, and Jiang Kehan stared at the ever-growing "evil" as she frantically pondered.
What else can I do to save her?!
Chapter 112 The Invincible Enemy
Solita's retinue was never just puppets, but the entire world, a world she had stained with blood and flesh.
