Go back? There's no going back.

Thinking of this, Eve's slender eyebrows twisted inadvertently.

Her heart skipped a few beats for unknown reasons, and she subconsciously thought, could it be that during the years living in the slums, this child... also developed some strange interests?

However, even in Eve's now rather hazy impression, she still remembered that during the eight years she was still there, this kid hardly ever walked out of his yard, let alone in the slums.

The few times she went out during that period was when she was not at home in the morning. She gave some food money to her next-door neighbor and asked Su Wei to go there for a meal.

For eight whole years, its only channel for receiving information from the outside world was to stand on a stool and lie on the courtyard wall, watching other insects fighting on the street outside.

Obviously, this is not enough to make it go astray.

...So, these habits were most likely acquired some time after she left to chase that flower?

Thinking of this, for some reason, Eve's expression gradually became uglier.

"..."

On the other side, Su Wei also calmed down.

He never expected that the witch would continue to ask about the matter of able-bodied men.

Ah...Mrs. Witch, are you free now?

At this moment, Su Wei had noticed that before he fell into a coma, the communication between him and the princess... had been completely cut off.

Although during the communication, the princess on the other side told Su Wei that it was okay and asked him not to be hostile to the witch.

But Su Wei felt that there was something wrong with the tone of the princess's voice at that time.

The First Palace is not far from this training camp. Under the current circumstances, after the contact is cut off, the princess should be able to arrive soon.

However, this witch clearly knew this, but she still did not choose to leave. Instead, she just stayed there and waited?

……it's wired.

Or is this actually the confidence of the Pluto Body, which has long been ranked among the top five physical bodies in history?

However, Su Wei was very clear that compared with the Witch, the Princess's affinity with all spirits was also outrageous.

To be honest, although he had previously reported this witch who brought disaster to the country to the princess, he did not really want to see any conflict break out between the two sides.

After all, even if it was fake, the witch in front of him had once played the role of his mother.

By reporting the witch's plan to lurk in the royal city, and with the help of the pressure brought by the princess, the witch would give up and leave on her own - this was the result that Su Wei had expected in his mind.

"Well, thank you. I don't feel dizzy anymore."

Thinking of this, and realizing that the dizzy feeling in his head had been relieved a lot, Su Wei took a deep breath, struggled to get off the witch's lap, and sat up shakily.

"Although it's not nice to say this from my current position, I personally still hope you can leave here as soon as possible."

As he said this, Su Wei pointed to the main entrance of the training camp outside the window and reminded with a serious expression: "I don't know why you are still here. After you finished contacting the princess just now, she must have rushed here again. If you don't leave now, you will have no chance."

“…Ah, are you worried about me now?”

However, in response to Su Wei's reminder, the witch in front of him was stunned for a moment, and for some reason she was in the mood to make a joke, and even her attention shifted to her grandmother's house.

"No, so what I mean is that you are in a dangerous situation now..."

Looking at the witch in front of him who still had a dull reaction, Su Wei felt an inexplicable pain in his head.

She obviously doesn't look very well, but... isn't she afraid of the princess?

After a long silence, Su Wei gritted his teeth and spoke again: "You seem to have injuries that need to be treated with Holy Spirit Medicine. You don't want to face the princess head-on at this time, right?"

As he said this, Su Wei supported himself on his knees and tried to stand up from the ground.

However, the next second, all the strength in his body suddenly disappeared, his knees went weak, and he staggered.

"I think it's better to take care of your own health before worrying about others, okay?"

Eve smiled and reminded Su Wei after she reached out to support him at the critical moment, preventing him from falling face first onto the ground.

"..."

Su Wei said nothing.

Whose problem do you think this is?

I silently complained in my heart.

Later, just as Su Wei took a deep breath and tried to stand up again, he heard a sound like something falling to the ground.

After a moment of hesitation, he subconsciously looked down.

But he just happened to see the amulet slipping from his shirt pocket to the ground.

As the red rope originally tied to it was torn off, at this moment, the cylindrical pendant was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, and was about to roll wildly on the ground.

Fortunately, Su Wei reacted quickly. He bent down and grabbed the amulet that was ready to go.

Picking up the thing, Su Wei quickly took it in his hand and examined it carefully. After confirming that although it was severely faded, there were no new cracks due to the previous collision, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"..."

On the side, Eve blinked and watched the scene quietly.

Different from the time she picked up the amulet before, at this moment, as her messy memories gradually came into place, she vaguely remembered that this thing... seemed to be the first gift she bought for a little kid a long time ago.

However, there is nothing special about it. It is just an inferior accessory that can be bought anywhere in the slums.

Eve never expected that this child... would keep this thing until now.

For some reason, looking at Su Wei at this moment, Eve's mood suddenly became a little complicated.

"… I think, something like this that fades so badly can cause skin problems if worn for a long time. Do you really think it can protect anyone?"

After a moment of silence, Eve's face curled up into a helpless smile. She stretched out her hand and subconsciously took the amulet from Su Wei's hand: "If you like this, let's go and change it for a better one next time..."

But the next second, her voice stopped abruptly.

Seeing the young man in front of her suddenly reacting, clutching the amulet tightly, taking a few steps back and staring at her with a look of rejection, Eve even froze her outstretched hand in mid-air.

……Eh?

Chapter 48: Thank you Miss Eve (7.5k)

Outside the training camp, there is the animal cart station.

Holding a thousand-faced talisman in his hand, the scarred young man now looked like an ordinary hunchbacked old man in the eyes of others.

Not long ago, he came here after being ordered by his mother to leave the office and look for the next target that had been set on him.

According to the plan, the next dirty guy to be dealt with was a young coachman.

This post station is where the young coachman spends the longest time on weekdays.

However, after arriving here, the scarred young man did not find the young coachman in the post station.

Did you just happen to receive a guest?

With this speculation in his mind, the scarred young man fell silent for a moment and waited quietly in that place.

To be honest, the scarred young man also realized that his mental state at the moment was... a little bit bad.

It was as if I was stuck by something invisible and it was difficult to concentrate.

If it were him from yesterday, he would have already maxed out his mobility by now, and would have taken the initiative to search the surrounding area regardless of whether he could find it or not.

After all, this was the task assigned to him by his mother.

But now, the scarred young man did not act rashly.

While waiting for the target to appear, his mind was full of distracting thoughts and he kept thinking about another thing.

What haunts him now is, of course, the rat he saw in the office building before.

The thoughts in my mind, uncontrollably, once again recalled the scene where my mother and the mouse were getting along harmoniously like they were chatting in daily life.

The scarred young man felt a fire rushing straight to his head, almost exploding.

Until now, he still couldn't figure out why it turned out like that.

Mother... why would you treat a mouse that can be easily crushed to death with such a gentle attitude?

Even today, since seeing the rat, the scarred young man felt an inexplicable sense of urgency deep in his heart for some reason.

This made him extremely uncomfortable.

At this moment, after walking out of the training camp, the scarred young man has calmed down again.

He tried to use his brain and began to think about what was so special about the other person that made his mother treat him differently.

At this moment, all the details of the conflict with Su Wei emerged in his mind bit by bit.

First of all, what impressed Scar the most was undoubtedly the other party's extremely strange ability to do things.

Even though he was unhappy, he had to admit that the mouse was quite good at touching people.

Could it be that it was because of this that the mother was so kind to him?

...No, how is that possible.

The scarred young man immediately suppressed the thought that emerged in his mind and shook his head.

He knew very well that his mother had enslaved countless undead with strong combat capabilities.

Moreover, those undead souls were generally harvested after they had cultivated to the fourth or fifth level.

In comparison, a mere second-level mouse, no matter how good it is at fighting, would not be treated differently by the mother.

Surely there must be some other reason...

With his brows tightly furrowed, the scarred young man racked his brains and began to think, recalling the details of when he first met Su Wei again and again.

“…This is it!”

Then, after an unknown amount of time, a flash of inspiration came to his mind, and the scarred young man suddenly raised his head and his eyes widened.

At this moment, he finally noticed the blind spot.

The memory fragment recalled in my mind was frozen at a scene where the magic armor on a little mouse did not fluctuate at all, but magic guns condensed around it out of thin air.

Even the magic spears that he easily created out of thin air were one level higher in lethality than what the little mouse could do himself.

This is obviously not normal.

His brows were knitted together and he was silent for a long time. Suddenly, the scarred young man seemed to have figured something out and his eyes lit up.

“…I see, so…is that why…?”

"As expected of you, mother. You noticed this just from such a small detail?"

As the words "ethereal body", "a hundred spirits resonance body" and "all spirits affinity body" gradually emerged in his mind, the scarred young man's face suddenly lit up with joy, he breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help wanting to laugh out loud.

As expected, the mother just noticed that the mouse had a special physique, so she planned to wait until it grew to the fifth level, then harvest it and enslave it, turning it into an undead.

If it didn't have that special physique, my mother would definitely not even look at the little mouse.

From this perspective, my mother undoubtedly cares more about me—

"Old man, let me ask you something."

Just as the scarred young man figured this out and the gloomy expression on his face changed, and he was about to cheer up again, a male voice that sounded a little treacherous suddenly sounded in his ears.

Being approached so closely without his awareness, the scarred young man was stunned at first, and then a chill suddenly rose up his entire back.

He subconsciously turned his head and happened to meet the eyes of a strong man with bronze skin.

"Tell me, is there something wrong with my nose?"

The wide nose twitched constantly. After staring at the scarred young man for several seconds, the man's expression suddenly twisted. His lifeless eyes instantly resembled the evil spirit that was currently wandering on the continent. He said in a grim tone: "Why... I feel like you should have seen someone I'm looking for recently?"

Under the gaze of the scarred young man, the man with a fake smile finished his words, and the extremely pure magic power began to cover his skin bit by bit.

Looking at the other party's magic power, which had reached the fifth-level purity standard, the scarred young man's face... suddenly became stiff.

***

On the other side, training camp, second floor of the office building.

The air in the huge office was completely frozen.

The outstretched hand froze in mid-air, and Eve stood there in a daze.

At this moment, looking at Su Wei who was holding the pendant tightly in his hand, the originally calm expression on his face became extremely alert at this moment... For some reason, she became a little at a loss.
