Proving the Dao of Hunyuan from the Age of Witches

Chapter 035 Relics and Top-Secret Information

"Chu Qichen, which faction are you on?" Luo Xi asked casually.

Chu Qichen immediately became serious.

Although Luo Xi seemed indifferent, in reality, if Chu Qichen's answer did not meet her expectations, it would be fatally dangerous.

For example, if Chu Qichen answers that he stands with the purge faction, it means that there will be a conflict between them sooner or later. Since they are enemies, she will definitely kill Chu Qichen directly.

However, Chu Qichen was clearly not a fool.

Or rather, Chu Qichen is a smart man.

Chu Qichen must have had his answer ready from the very beginning when he introduced the Witch Council to her.

This answer was given in order to get in touch with them.

"The regulatory faction," Chu Qichen replied.

As expected, Luo Xi lowered her eyes.

This response not only signifies the local witch council's attitude towards them, but also implies the possibility of cooperation.

Just then, Chu Qichen's phone rang.

Luo Xi didn't care and watched Chu Qichen answer the phone.

After finishing the call, Chu Qichen's face turned gloomy.

Somewhat puzzled, Luo Xi thought that if there was a possibility of cooperating with the local witch council, then dealing with Chu Qichen would be inevitable.

So I asked, "What happened?"

"The Witch Council will appoint a new person to act as the president of the Dachang City branch of the Witch Council. This person is Li Chen," Chu Qichen said expressionlessly.

Li Chen?

Luo Xi recalled the person who collected her and her sister's blood at the artificial lake.

Collecting blood is just for the purpose of studying witches, isn't it?

It seems Li Chen has gotten in touch with a big shot in the General Research Faction.

Interestingly, the Witch Council never appoints Li Chen as the branch president; she's almost forgotten about him.

Does the Witch Council really want her to help clean up the research faction?

She's not good at scheming, plotting, or backstabbing...

Fine, whatever their schemes and tricks, just kill them all and they'll be gone.

Just as she was pondering this, Luo Xi's phone rang.

I picked up the phone, but strangely, there were no incoming call messages.

After a while, the phone flashed, and the screen started showing static.

Immediately, a multimedia message popped up, and Luo Xi opened it directly.

"Hello, I am Yang Jian. By the time you see this, I will already be dead."

Luo Xi's lips twitched, but she continued reading.

"I have some top-secret information for you, information about something unusual."

"Anomalies have three main characteristics."

"First, only anomalies can combat anomalies."

"Second, anomalies attract each other and aggregate."

"Third, latent abnormalities can become overt abnormalities, and this process is irreversible."

"Also, the Witch Council should have what you want."

"One last thing, if possible, could you please look after Dachang City for me?"

Luo Xi's lips twitched and her head ached from watching.

The Witch Council must have something she wants? She doesn't even know what she wants.

Wait... could it be the Primordial Dao Fruit?

Moreover, according to what Rose said before, she seems to be going to the Witch Council headquarters as well.

I feel like it's worth investigating.

However, right now, our strength is too weak, so improving our strength is the most important thing.

Furthermore, judging from Rose's attitude, if she doesn't take good care of her injuries, who knows what Rose might do.

Take good care of yourself.

"Rose, do you know about anomalous properties?" Luo Xi asked, looking at Rose sitting quietly beside her.

"I know. First, only anomalies can fight anomalies," Rose said calmly, her voice flat. "Second, anomalies attract each other and aggregate."

"Is there anything else?" Luo Xi asked again, her expression shifting.

"I don't know anything else." Rose shook her head.

It seems that Rose is unaware of the third characteristic of anomalies, namely that latent anomalies can transform into dominant anomalies, and this transformation is irreversible.

Having understood, Luo Xi continued, "Only the abnormal can fight against the abnormal, I understand that. That is, only the extraordinary can fight against the extraordinary. Whether it is the abnormal or the witch's magic, they can all be broadly classified as extraordinary. It makes perfect sense for the extraordinary to fight against the extraordinary."

"So, how come anomalies attract each other and aggregate?" Luo Xi humbly asked.

"You should have already noticed that if an abnormal entity or an unusual phantom appears, you will have a special feeling that will draw you to it," Rose explained.

"This is a manifestation of how anomalies attract each other. Similarly, among witches, witches attract each other, causing them to gather together, which can also be considered a manifestation."

"Then, what about abnormal aggregation?" Luo Xi pressed.

"Anomalies can be destroyed by modern armed forces. The destroyed anomaly will leave behind a core that modern technology cannot handle."

"This means that as long as the anomalous core is not destroyed, the anomalous entity will reappear, even if it is the lowest level of anomalous entity."

"And we can devour the abnormal core; this is the phenomenon of abnormal aggregation," Rose explained.

So that's how it is; it turns out to be the spiritual energy of heaven and earth manifesting into something tangible.

"Will the witch be killed?" Luo Xi pondered for a moment before asking. "What would happen if the witch were killed?"

"When a witch is killed, her magic, or rather, her anomalies, no longer have a vessel, which will trigger an abnormal event." Rose gave Luo Xi a deep look. "If you have any intention of killing a witch, I suggest you give up."

Luo Xi organized her thoughts.

An abnormal core forms an abnormal entity or an abnormal phantom, causing an abnormal event to erupt. Then, a witch is born with a very low probability from the abnormal event. The witch destroys the abnormal entity or abnormal phantom and finally devours the abnormal core to deal with the abnormal event.

The cycle repeats itself after the witch dies.

So that explains why the Witch Council always has a supreme directive...

That is, never use any force or coercion to deal with the witch.

Because they are tools in themselves.

A vessel for containing anomalies, a container for handling anomalies.

They vanished along with the container when it broke.

"Rose, how old are you?" Luo Xi calmed down.

"It's very impolite to ask a girl's age like that," Rose said with a smile.

"Excuse me, let me rephrase my question: How long have you been a witch?" Luo Xi stared at Qiangwei. "It's okay if you don't want to answer."

"I want to know, what's the longest a witch can live?" Luo Xi asked calmly.

Rose did not answer.

"I remember you said you'd seen the highest-ranking witch, a C-rank witch, which is only a mid-level witch," Luo Xi said hesitantly. "No high-level witches."

Above C-rank is B-rank. According to another classification method, B-rank witches are considered high-ranking witches.

There is definitely a qualitative leap between the advanced and intermediate levels...

"What's wrong with being a high-ranking witch?" Luo Xi asked calmly.

"I just received a top-secret message," Luo Xi hesitated before speaking again, seeing that Rose didn't answer. "Chu Qichen is currently under the influence of your magical properties... your consciousness interference, right?"

"I'll tell you something: the third characteristic of anomalies," Luo Xi said calmly.

"Late abnormalities can become obvious abnormalities, and this process is irreversible."

After saying that, Luo Xi looked into the distance. Although she didn't understand the meaning of those words, anything unusual was clearly not a good thing.

Is she also here to end an era?
