It's not the protagonist, what does it matter if you are trapped in the Shura field

Chapter 668 Welcome Back, My Child

The next day, after breakfast, Neps came to meet them, but Pan was nowhere to be seen.

So everyone decided to spend a day at the witch's gathering.

Anai Ning went around asking witches for interesting and fun news. Nasu Xia was nowhere to be found. Ayining wandered around the fortress, but all she saw everywhere was witches.

This place is really a bit too yin-dominant; he's the only man in the entire city.

"..."

He must be incredibly happy about it.

At that moment, Lovi was with Neps. Mena, who bumped into him, glanced at him and ran away in a panic.

That's really daring... even though he did it willingly.

Neps glanced at the strange reaction, then stopped in the garden and said, "I told Pan exactly what I said, and I don't want to be biased in this matter and be made difficult by you."

“I know,” Luo Weiping glanced at her calmly. “There was never any set standard for the assessment. Even if you don’t pass, there’s nothing I can do.”

It was already afternoon.

If Pan still doesn't send someone to find him, then the outcome will probably be truly disastrous.

"Really... but I think you handled it quite well this time."

"…What?"

“No, it’s nothing,” Nips resumed her undisguised dangerous smile. “Anyway, for me, this matter is over. I’ve done a perfect job as the overseer.”

"You mean... you don't see the person you're supervising more than half the time?"

Nepsy's face darkened, but she didn't get angry at him.

“Sometimes I wonder,” she said, gazing at me intently, “why do you talk to me so casually? Are you so sure you know my personality? Or do you actually know about my relationship with the Night Witch?”

She had tried to bring up this topic before, but the other party hadn't mentioned it.

He always gave her the feeling that he already knew everything about her, so he didn't need to be polite at all, as if he had known her for a long time.

Did Ilus mention me to him?

Nepsy didn't think so, so it could only mean that he knew something in advance, otherwise how could he be so familiar with the witch when he usually doesn't give people the time of day?

“You studied magic with her for a while, didn’t you?” Rowe smiled with his eyes closed. “And you unilaterally regarded her as your rival, even though she never cared.”

"???"

Neps retorted, "That's a bit much. Give me more time, and I can catch up eventually."

“But in terms of dealing with people and handling affairs,” Lowe shook his head, “and in terms of composure that is not easily shaken, you are far from it. You just want to make yourself look like you are in complete control.”

"You have a really irritating way of saying things..."

"See, you're getting impatient."

Neps's eye twitched. After all, she was the "Calamity Witch" with her own title, so it naturally depended on who she was compared to. She was already stronger than many people!

However... the Night Witch was indeed half of her role model; that composure came from within, which is why she was curious about who could possibly shake the other's mind.

Now I've seen it for myself.

It has to be said that he is a difficult guy to deal with, and there is also a group of strange people around him who are in deep trouble and have their own ideas.

Wait a minute... where did he hear all that? Did Ilus even tell him that?

However, just then, the witch sent by Pan came looking for them.

Thirty minutes later.

Luo Wei stood in front of Pan's desk, while Pan's expression remained unchanged, making it impossible to discern his thoughts.

Are you nervous at this point?

"I wouldn't say I'm nervous," Luo Weiping said calmly, "but since I've decided to accept the test, I naturally hope for a good result."

Pan lowered his head and smiled.

“I’d like to know,” she looked up at Rowe and said, “when did you decide to support the Dark Families?”

"I already had the answer when I realized what kind of test you were talking about."

"Oh? At what time?"

“The first night was it,” Luo Wei said calmly. “At first, the scales between the two forces were indeed equal in my hands. Since both sides had problems, after comparing the information, I was more willing to believe the side that admitted to having problems. It was obvious who was passive and who was active. The second day was just to verify this point.”

"But the King of Kaias has not acknowledged this to you?"

"This has different results for different people. The Knights Templar did not speak because they knew the situation was in their hands, while the kings did not speak because this was their last straw. We gave them enough time to send messages when we broke into each palace. We were able to call back the troops outside, but they would rather die than give up hope of saving their country."

"Heh...then why don't you also drag out all the Templar Knights' officers and question them one by one?"

“Because there’s no need,” Rowe replied. “After observing them, I knew they were definitely involved on their own initiative. They were just deciding whether to help the Dark Families or choose the third path after confirming the attitude of the Dark Families.”

"In other words... you actually put down the Templar Knights as a bargaining chip in the first step, and the rest is just considering whether to put down the bargaining chip with the Dark Families as well."

"Yes."

Loewe did not deny it.

Regardless, it was indeed a choice he made, and it did have a real impact on the outcome of the situation.

Pan sat in the chair, arms crossed, chin resting on his hand, seemingly deep in thought, considering what score to give him.

How many points do you think you'll get?

"Stop keeping me in suspense," Luo Wei said helplessly. "I already said that since I've started, I naturally want a good outcome."

"Yes."

Pan looked up at him, then smiled.

"Then I'll just tell you the truth—your results have exceeded my expectations."

“Since you say that,” Rowe looked at her helplessly, “it means it wasn’t beyond your expectations at all.”

“Hehe, there are still some,” Pan laughed, no longer trying to hide anything. “It has already been explained that this is a test, and there will be special supervisors to record your every move. People who want to prove their intelligence will often think about whether there is a third or fourth solution, and easily overlook the answer itself. In this situation, choosing the simple answer sometimes also requires courage.”

"Then this is at most a perfect score."

“That’s right,” Pan raised his head and his eyes lit up. “The extra point is a personal gift from me, representing my expectations for you.”

“…” Luo Wei sighed.

Anyway, this should be considered a good result, but facing this person was really stressful, it felt like I was actually taking a civil service exam...

What a devilish female examiner.

But since she accepted this answer, it means that the Witch Society actually had the information from the beginning. Really... I have to make him investigate again.

Pan took a slow breath, as if relieved of a great burden, and even the composure on his face relaxed considerably.

She stood up from her chair: "Come with me."

Luo Wei walked behind her, and the two went downstairs from the witch's hall and went outside. They then walked deeper into the Black Demon Castle. Before long, they could no longer see any other witches, the buildings began to thin out, and there were no more obvious traces on the road.

When did you travel to this world?

When she asked that question, Lowe glanced around and thought she was going to kill her to silence her.

Isn't it...not that direct?
But the pleasant and relaxed feeling in her tone caught him off guard and gave him a momentary sense of dread, as if she were smiling and about to kill him with a single stroke.

Pan Weiwei paused for a moment, then turned around and gave him a clearly tolerant and helpless smile: "Oh dear, you're still wary of me. You're just too cute."

Luo Wei: "..."

What could he say.

It's because you acted like you could do everything before.

Pan couldn't hide the smile on his face: "It's okay if you don't want to say, you'll know when we get there."

Luo Wei: "Is that a slaughterhouse up ahead?"

"Pfft..." Pan was amused by him, and then thought it was not bad. He turned around and winked at him, "That's right, I'll personally chop you into eight pieces when we go in later, so just wait."

As the path gradually narrowed and the surrounding scenery changed to a forest, Luo Wei even thought for a moment that what she said might be true.

There's such a hidden place behind the Witch's Guild.

How did you determine my identity?

"You want to ask why they believed you after just one test?"

“Yes,” Rowe nodded, “this has nothing to do with who I am.”

“It’s relevant,” Pan answered without hesitation. “Your insight into the situation and your ability to reason logically don’t come from nowhere. The fact that you were chosen speaks to your abilities, but the reason you can bring them to fruition is because you have personally experienced all the deductions about the future of this world and know all the clues about the forces and the development trends of the continent, right? — right up until everything is destroyed.”

"..."

This is the first person to point out that he is a second-time player.

If she is the enemy, this is truly a disaster. He wasn't nervous about the results of the assessment before, but now he's inexplicably nervous.

"Do you know about the end of the world?"

"Unfortunately, I don't know the details. It's a future that only you have seen... no, it's a future that only you have personally experienced. Even a goddess couldn't have experienced it as vividly as you have."

"?"

What do you mean? Isn't Vesperia a game that anyone can play? Didn't the creator of that angel even get to experience it before the game was released?
Hmm... although Lovi didn't know whether He appeared in his world in human form.

"There are countless possibilities for the process, but only yours was chosen—do you understand what I mean?"

"Because I'm the one who gets there the fastest?"

“No,” Pan shook his head, “You should think about it the other way around: why did the others fail to reach the end?”

"!?"

Indeed, Luo Wei couldn't help but ponder. He wasn't part of a strategy guide group; he was just a technical enthusiast who was a bit too addicted and had almost never logged out of the game.

"You mean... none of the others who participated in the test with me could reach the ending? Even the ending of destruction? And not because I progressed faster than them?"

"Yes."

Luo Wei slowly inhaled a breath of cool air.

“I don’t know the specifics either,” Pan said, “but you must have had a reason for being chosen, including through your actions in this world and the results of your trials to determine your identity—you are unique, you know that?”

“I’m starting to lean towards agreeing with what you’re saying,” Rowe said hesitantly, “but who exactly are you…”

Who is she?

Not only was he fully aware of the world's impending doom, but he even knew that he had transmigrated from a game. He was the only person in the world who knew this…

"arrive."

After crossing a cabin in the woods, the two arrived at a witch's mansion with an iron fence.

Luo Wei stopped in his tracks, while Pan stepped forward and knocked on the door. Only then did he notice that the surrounding mist had a completely different atmosphere, as if even the erosion of the Crimson Forbidden Forest was just a disguise, and that this was a red mist atmosphere that was more natural and primal.

Meanwhile, along the way they were walking, Pan seemed to have helped him pass through some kind of sealing barrier or veil halfway through, as he had been too focused on his thoughts to notice these subtle changes.

What exactly is going on here...?

“I told you,” Pan said, smiling as she stood to the side of the doorway, “you might have a chance to ask him about the ‘answer’ you’re looking for ‘face-to-face’.”

"!!?"

As the door opened from the inside, two black-haired witches appeared before him. Luo Wei held his breath and looked at their faces one by one.

Could it be... that they...?
I've finally met you—

An ancient voice came from the mist, but the two witches standing there did not speak, and Lovi couldn't help but shiver.

He took a step back respectfully.

Then she noticed that between the two black-haired witches, slightly lower and even lower in the field of vision, half of her body was shrouded in mist, where there was a little girl with pink hair, half her height compared to Lovely.

And the little bean sprout was now speaking to him in the same voice it had just heard:

Welcome back, my child.

Luo Wei: "?"

His lips trembled slightly.

"?????"
