But now it seems that the effect is unexpectedly obvious.

Even at this moment, she noticed that although the little ghost beside her seemed to be looking out the window again, in fact, the latter's eyes were staring blankly at the iron bars at the edge of the car window, looking at his own reflection in the mirror.

Realizing this, for some reason, a subtle thought suddenly emerged in Eve's mind.

Did I get along with this little kid like this in the past?

Was he looking at me with the same eyes at that time?

A trace of curiosity welled up in my heart, and then gradually became stronger.

Soon, Eve thought of the "Enlightenment" fruit that she had kept until now.

Perhaps the answer lies in that fruit.

At this moment, another somewhat dangerous idea gradually emerged in Eve's mind.

Or...after that, try to free yourself a little?

If it's just for a moment, it shouldn't be a big problem...right?

Just like that, the two people in the carriage quietly thought about their own things.

Time passes slowly.

When the huge hour hand on the distant clock tower was about to point to nine o'clock in a quarter of an hour, the narrow animal cart had already arrived at the entrance of the first venue in the royal city.

The scarred young man was an excellent driver. When he arrived at the venue, he was not only not late, but he was even ten minutes faster than Su Wei expected.

However, as soon as he stepped out of the carriage and saw the long line at the entrance, Su Wei's face froze slightly.

"That's the entrance for citizens. The entrance for contestants like you is over there."

But soon, the voice of "Mom...Witch Lady" that came to his ear at the right time made Su Wei feel a little relieved.

Subconsciously, he pointed in the direction of the latter's finger.

Sure enough, I saw another small entrance guarded by several gendarmes and knights.

"...Thank you. I'm on my way."

Seeing this, Su Wei blinked, turned around, said goodbye to the two people beside him, and was about to walk straight away.

"Wait a moment."

But the next second, his right wrist was grabbed and he was easily pulled back.

"I'm telling you, as your mentor, I don't want to see my student fail to pass the audition."

Facing Su Wei's somewhat puzzled look, the Witch Lady suddenly spoke like this.

"?"

Hearing this, Su Wei was stunned and subconsciously cast a puzzled look at the latter.

But soon, he saw the witch handing him another package.

It was a package he had seen yesterday, filled with various logistical items.

Looking at this scene, Su Wei instinctively shook his head to refuse.

However, after meeting his mother's gaze at this moment, Su Wei was silent for a while, and finally reached out to take the package: "Thank you."

"Oh, I thought you would reject me again this time."

I heard the witch's somewhat teasing words in my ears.

I don't know if it was because the witch was dissatisfied with my behavior of taking the initiative to clarify the relationship yesterday, but today, she seemed to enjoy stirring his nerves unexpectedly.

"..."

At this moment, in fact, not only Su Wei, but even Eve felt quite strange.

Although most of her memories of the past are currently vague, she has the impression that she has hardly ever given anything to others over the years.

Nor do you become emotionally upset after giving something away, wondering whether the other party will accept it in the end.

But this time, looking at Su Wei, who had a very different reaction and honestly accepted the package, she felt a strange sense of satisfaction surging all over her body.

It was as if her body was telling her that this was...the right thing to do.

At this moment, another animal cart came speeding from the side and stopped right next to the small animal cart in which the two people were riding.

"You even got the date of the test wrong and even slept in on the day of the test. I don't know how you can sleep so much every day!"

Before the curtain of the car was lifted, a woman's scolding voice was heard from it.

"Oh, we're already on time. We're not late."

As soon as the woman finished speaking, another young man's voice, which sounded a little lazy, was heard.

"You're still stubborn, aren't you? If it weren't for your father's great driving skills, you'd still be stuck outside the Second Ring Road!"

"Ouch, that hurts! Mom! My ears! Be gentle!"

Then, as the car curtain was opened by the middle-aged man sitting in the driver's seat, a mother and son quickly walked out of the car.

Well, in the form of a mother twisting her son's ears.

"Did you bring everything? Where's your equipment? Where's your medicine?"

After getting off the bus, the woman let go of her son's hand, took the shoulder bag handed to her by the man, put it on her son, and asked with concern.

"Don't worry, it's all in there. Don't you know your son's level? Relax."

Compared to the nervous mother, the young man looked calm and said, "You two can just watch our performance in the audience later."

"What a show! Hurry up and get everything you need, just in case someone closes the door early."

The woman looked at the young man with disgust and waved him away.

However, the young man still stood where he was.

"Mom, I think you are not very sensible."

Instead, he smiled and opened his arms to the woman: "Come, hug me, give me some strength, you always encouraged me like this before."

"…You are the one who has too many things to do."

The woman was silent for a moment, then silently hugged the young man: "This assessment is not for the academy. I heard that geniuses from all over the continent are here. Don't be too aggressive. If you can't win, just surrender. Raise your hands higher. Mom doesn't need you to be so strong, understand?"

"Hey, mom, do you think the word surrender exists in my dictionary - it hurts, it hurts, it hurts?"

Before the young man could finish his words, the woman grabbed his ears again and made him beg for mercy.

Until the end, when the woman kicked the young man in the butt again, he slowly walked past Su Wei and walked towards the entrance.

"..."

At this moment, Su Wei, who had been watching this scene quietly, also came back to his senses a little.

“They have a really good relationship.”

Hearing the witch's voice in his ears, Su Wei nodded subconsciously.

But the next second, when the witch's next words reached his ears, Su Wei was stunned: "Come, let your mother hug you too."

"……what?"

Hearing this, Su Wei was stunned, and watched the witch in front of him open her arms to him.

The passage of time seems to stop at this moment.

"..."

After a moment, just when Eve felt a little embarrassed and wanted to put down her hands, Su Wei in front of her suddenly took a step forward and responded to her actively.

With her eyes slightly widened, Eve felt that her ability to think seemed to have froze at this moment.

“…Since we are going to do it, we should do it to the best of our ability.”

The next second, even though she hadn't even thought about it, she instinctively said these strange words of encouragement: "At least make it to the finals, okay?"

"……Ok, I know."

Su Wei nodded, then let go of the witch in front of him again.

"If I do, can you... fulfill one of my requests?"

He looked at her absentmindedly, as if he wanted to remember her at this moment deeply in his heart, and spoke slowly.

"Eh?"

Hearing this, Eve was slightly stunned.

Looking at Su Wei, whose shaken expression was many times more obvious than yesterday, her heart beat faster for some reason.

...Could it be that the effect of this mask is better than she imagined?

"Of course. Tell me about it?"

"If I can make it to the finals, can you... stop using this face...?"

He looked at her, as if he had made up his mind, and asked calmly.

"……Eh?"

Chapter 61: Pulling the hair and rushing in violently

"why?"

Eve blinked her eyes and her heart inexplicably skipped a beat as she listened to Su Wei's completely unexpected request.

"…There's no particular reason."

However, Su Wei just shook his head calmly.

Just looking at the "mother" in front of him, he took a deep breath and suppressed the nostalgia in his heart bit by bit.

Frankly speaking, a living, moving and talking mother who appeared before him... did easily touch his nerves.

But apart from the initial surprise, after spending some time together, Su Wei realized that the "mother" in front of him was not his real mother after all.

It's just a fake thing with no substance.

If it were my past self, even if I realized this, I would probably accept it silently or even willingly.

But now.

Looking at her in front of him, Su Wei didn't know why the images of other people gradually appeared in his mind.

There was a princess with a disappointed look on her face, a maid with a gentle smile, and even... the Queen, whose expression became increasingly kind for some reason.

At this moment, Su Wei has realized that indulging in fantasies of the past... is meaningless.

Just by looking at the appearance of the witch in front of him, he realized that the mother in his memory... would never come back.

Even the fact that he suddenly put on his mother's mask today might just be a whim of the witch in front of him.

If that's the case, why should I continue to deceive myself?

In addition, the most important thing is that Su Wei realized that he didn't want to see the witch appear in front of him with his mother's face again.

That would make him feel inexplicably irritated...even disgusted.

"Anyway, it would be great if you could agree to my request. Thank you very much—"

Thinking of this, Su Wei took a deep breath, bowed slightly to the witch in front of him, and said this.

***

A few moments.

After saying goodbye to the witch who remained silent, Su Wei turned around and stepped into the candidate passage of the first venue.

Following the signs along the way, he soon arrived at the first place he needed to go - the intensive care unit.

Su Wei had some understanding of the audition process.

He knew very well that the first thing a candidate like himself should do now is to receive protection.

That comes from the protection of the Emperor's spirit.

This protection is just as its name suggests. Anyone who receives it will see their physical fitness improved as long as they stand on the land of the empire during the duration of the protection.

Of course, the most obvious improvement is vitality.
