Misfortune Witch

Panic, a sudden, unbidden panic, completely seized Tang Qi's mind at this moment.

There was no reason for it, just pure instinct.

It was the feeling a weak life form experiences when encountering a higher-level life form.

When Tang Qi was reborn on Origin Blue Star, the moment he woke up, he faced himself becoming a devil, along with an evil Soul-Swapping Ritual and an old black man who mastered Witchcraft. Later, Tang Qi had also killed people and defeated Extraordinary Monsters, including beings of the level of the Dugong Sea Demon.

But never, at any point, had Tang Qi felt this way before.

As he met Sally's gaze in the mirror, the surrounding environment drastically changed, like a reversed reflection. A small fitting room transformed into countless pieces of glass, moving and reassembling rapidly, eventually turning back into the real room.

The only unreal part was Mrs. Hudson, who seemed frozen at the moment she took off the glasses.

She stood there, motionless, with a faint smile, seemingly pleased with her new creation, but Tang Qi couldn't feel her heartbeat.

Was she dead?

Or was she no longer in this world?

In that huge full-length mirror, the two of them were still looking at each other.

But Tang Qi could no longer see any trace of the original Sally in those eyes; it was as if she had completely... become a different person.

"Who... are you?"

Tang Qi slowly lowered the book in his hand, his voice a little bitter.

Blood Python No. 1 was tucked into the back of Tang Qi's waist.

In the left pocket of his jacket was a box of Furnace Bullets.

In his right pants pocket was a box of Sea Demon Bullets.

And in the inner lining of his chest, he kept a red Sea Demon's Tears.

Even if he faced the Dugong Sea Demon again, Tang Qi was confident he could kill it as quickly as possible.

But now, Tang Qi made no move.

It wasn't that he didn't dare, but that he couldn't.

A terrifying pressure was currently bearing down on Tang Qi. The simple act of lowering the book had almost drained all his strength.

The only thing Tang Qi could do now was keep his eyes open, letting the terrifying pressure relentlessly consume the power within him, without falling or showing any sign of surrender.

As he asked that question, Tang Qi's eyes saw a scene completely different from reality. Two special interfaces also appeared in his vision at that moment.

Sally had changed.

She was still in the same body, but her usual timid and shy personality had vanished without a trace. In the eyes that met Tang Qi's gaze, there was unrestrained boldness, arrogance that looked down on everything, and a captivating aura that made any man want to kneel.

Wisps of gray-black mist, invisible to the naked eye, continuously poured out of Sally's body, turning the small fitting room into something akin to an otherworldly realm. The dress she wore, which resembled an elf's gauze skirt interwoven with gold and white, gradually turned pitch black.

The flower crown on her head, far from withering, bloomed with strange, captivating dark flowers, seductive and impossible to look away from.

If the previous Sally was a breathtakingly beautiful elf girl,

then the current Sally was a captivating... Witch that made people want to submit.

Tang Qi's special ability confirmed his premonition.

The first special interface that popped up was from the exaggerated black-rimmed glasses.

[Mystical Item: Misfortune-Sealing Glasses.]
[Information Fragment 1: These are glasses that gained Supernatural Power after being blessed by the Gypsy Witch Leader. They can seal the power of misfortune, allowing the poor girl to live a normal life.]
[Information Fragment 2: When the girl wears them, they cannot be detected by supernatural perception.]

The information fragments on the black-rimmed glasses were simple and direct, already astonishing Tang Qi.

And the interface he saw from Sally made Tang Qi both amazed and regretful.

He hadn't expected that one day, he would try to do good but end up causing harm.

In the past, the opponents he had faced were always displayed as "Supernatural Creature" in the interface.

But this time, it was different.

In the first line of small text Tang Qi saw, the word... "Deity" appeared.

[Otherworldly Deity: Misfortune Witch.]
[Status: Sub-Personality.]
[Information Fragment 1: The Misfortune Witch from another dimension, in order to break through her limits, dispersed her magic power into an unknown number of portions and sent them to different worlds. Sally, as an infant, received the portion on Origin Blue Star.]
[Information Fragment 2: Sally's relatives died one after another due to the power of misfortune magic. At the last moment, the passing Gypsy Witch Leader injected her power into the black-rimmed glasses left by Sally's father. They can seal the misfortune magic for at least one hundred years.]
[Information Fragment 3: With the arrival of the Spiritual Tide, a crack appeared in the glasses' seal. Taking off the glasses gave the witch sub-personality, born from that portion of magic power, the opportunity to break free.]
[Information Fragment 4: As the Misfortune Witch sub-personality shares the body with Sally, she needs the help of external power to completely control this body and, taking advantage of the Spiritual Tide's return, help the main body break through the Deity's limits.]

Buzz

When Tang Qi saw the fourth information fragment, a glimmer of hope almost overflowed from his eyes. He used all his remaining strength to lower his head at that instant, not letting the witch sub-personality currently controlling Sally's body notice.

Now Tang Qi understood, what had he done?

He wanted to give Sally a gift, but he accidentally revealed the biggest, most terrifying secret hidden within her.

Misfortune Witch!

These four words perfectly explained Sally's lifelong string of bad luck, as well as the reason for the misfortune of those affected by her.

The power of misfortune, even with most of it sealed by those glasses, was still enough for the leaked remnants to earn her the reputation of "Unlucky Sally."

If nothing unexpected happened, those glasses would continue to seal the misfortune magic until Sally died a hundred years later. That magic would then return to the Misfortune Witch's plane, without causing any major impact on Origin Blue Star.

Of course, it was also possible that with the return of the Spiritual Tide, the glasses would fail prematurely. At that time, the fully formed Sub-Personality of the Witch would be born and immediately overcome Sally's weak main personality, gaining control of the body. This would add another Misfortune Witch to a world on the cusp of great change.

What major events would occur then, Tang Qi couldn't predict.

And there was no need to predict it, because all of this was unexpectedly interrupted by Tang Qi.

The glasses were removed. What Tang Qi was now facing was the Sub-Personality that was still developing but had unexpectedly broken free... the Misfortune Witch.

Tang Qi lowered his head, hiding the strange look in his eyes. All the power in his body was used to resist the magic filling this small fitting room. Although it was useless, Tang Qi could even feel that as long as this Misfortune Witch had a thought, his fragile body would be completely disintegrated, leaving no corpse.

"Tap~ tap~ tap"

The previous Sally had difficulty walking in high heels, but at this moment, what Tang Qi saw out of the corner of his eye was a figure radiating infinite charm, enchanting like a dark elf. She walked step by step towards Tang Qi, a fair finger slowly lifting Tang Qi's chin.

Then, Tang Qi saw that perfect face again, and a pair of azure eyes that were gradually turning dark. A mysterious grey-black aura permeated the air. Tang Qi only felt as if his soul was about to slip into a special world.
