Chapter 244: 212 I no longer have a sister… (seeking monthly pass)
Witchcraft clashes were becoming more and more intense.
Within a few hundred meters around, everything was turned into an expansive ocean, the forest under the torrential rain and thunder transformed into a vast marshland, the raging floodwaters began devouring everything they swept over.
Stones, trees, animals, soil…
It was as if everything had been pulled into the stomach of a gigantic beast, all being digested.
A white jade serpent rolled in the Poisonous Water Lake, constantly hissing at the only large burning tree in the center of the lake.
The battle between the two sisters continued, and Lin An in the sky had finally steadied himself.
Looking along the chain, he saw that at the end of the chain embedded in the chest of the dark gold statue—a shadow of Chen Shuyun.
At Chen Shuyun’s location, the chains pierced into her chest, turning into red strings that emerged from her back, completely binding her dark gold statue.
This witchcraft…
Was quite ingenious.
Lin An watched the scene thoughtfully.
For Chen Xinmi, it was as if she had split into two, leaving half upon the spirituality of Shu Yun, with the heart as a bridge.
For Shu Yun, her heart was with Chen Xinmi, as if she was using Chen Xinmi to cast witchcraft upon herself, imposing a kind of self-restraint.
Lin An tuned into the rhythm of their spiritualities and suddenly had a very subtle thought.
Based on his past understanding of Witchcraft Spirituality, the emergence of an overly intense underlying emotion must necessarily bring about an opposing force of emotion.
Like in the beginning, when his own “suppression and numbness” sparked a “chase for excitement.”
Or now, “wandering” that stirred up “ambition” and “twisted cruelty.”
Under this state of witchcraft, Shu Yun’s self-restraint and lack of freedom would inevitably lead to a tendency for “self-loathing, self-destruction.”
Of course, that was not the point.
The point was that this witchcraft was maintained by the bond of blood kinship; she involved her sister and thus began to develop a high dependency on her, to the extent of nearly losing herself and becoming increasingly weak.
On the other end, Chen Xinmi too was being dragged along, losing herself more and more, straying further and further on the path of self-alienation. With deeper contemplation, she might even develop a strong emotion of “self-sacrifice” due to the loss of self and being relied on.
This design…
Was it really improved upon by Mr. Liu with the “Heart-to-Heart Skewer Fragrance Witchcraft”?
Was it tailored for this pair of witch sisters?
Was it that badass?
But interestingly, Miao Miao had just mentioned that Chen Xinmi, after delving into the “Heart-to-Heart Skewer Fragrance Witchcraft,” had uncovered Mr. Liu’s scheme.
So, could it be assumed that…
The “preliminary tuning” that Miao Miao spoke of, which Chen Xinmi did on her sister before the ritual magic was cast on the experimental subject, the focus wasn’t the part about the white serpent swallowing the body, but rather an adjustment to the past Suppression Witchcraft?
That is to say—completely reversing her sister’s dependence on her?
Lin An looked down with an odd expression, as the battle seemed to be drawing to a close. Although Chen Shuyun seemed formidable, with countless layers of witchcraft nested together, in the end, most of her own strength was sealed.
Chen Xinmi laughed piercingly, releasing flames that steamed the lake unleashed by Shu Yun. The flames mercilessly scoured the white serpent in the floodwaters, scorching it and eliciting shrill cries from the serpent.
His expression flickered, and in an instant, he traveled to the ground and came beside Miao Miao, squatting next to him, watching everything with a saddened gaze.
“Miao Miao, what do you think, has Chen Xinmi gotten herself in too deep? Does she not really want to capture her sister now?”
The black cat was stunned for a moment, looking at Lin An incredulously, and blinked, “Meow~”
—How did you know?
Lin An’s lips curved into a knowing smile.
Miao Miao hesitated for a moment, looked at Lin An deeply, and finally said, “Meow~”
—She was estimating you would take your sister and run away, fleeing from this place that gave you a sense of security, into a state of turmoil and instability.
—She just didn’t expect that you would just sit by and watch, you’re really heartless!
—Since that’s the case, she can only capture you both and torment you thoroughly. Oh, especially you, Lin An.
—She would then design a flaw to let you narrowly escape from her laboratory.
“!!!” Lin An’s smile could no longer hold.
“Damn it, this woman is so malevolent!”
The black cat chuckled, “You won’t die, you’ll just suffer a bit. After all, you’re her most important material for the ritual magic. If she kills you, she would have to deal with the dangerous Lu Dexian or the elusive Mr. Liu, which would be way too troublesome.”
Heh~
What, should I thank her or something?
Lin An’s eyes narrowed, and he gently rubbed his fingers together.
The black cat sighed.
—Miao Miao supports her decision.
—If you want to hate her, hate Miao Miao, then go ahead, people have to make choices. She’s chosen to let go of the most important thing in her heart, her parents’ vendetta.
—That was her biggest belief, and she gave it up just like that…
—If she can be so cruel to herself, how could she possibly not be cruel to others?
—Miao Miao always said, I am her, she is me; she’s not a good person, and neither is Miao Miao.
Lin An smacked his lips, lightly rubbed the black cat’s head, and thought that each person had their own ambitions; how could he expect Miao Miao to be wholeheartedly good to him?
He couldn’t even rely on his own spirituality, that ugly head.
Let alone the spirituality of others.
The fact that he could form this good karma with someone else’s spirituality, to get hold of some information, was already quite remarkable.
“She can’t take me away!” Lin An gently patted its head, “Just watch how I deal with this!”
the black cat was quite puzzled.
“Meow~”
Impossible, she was ready to go all out, in this state, no one in Shenhou City could stop her from taking anyone away, except for the leader with the deer antlers!
“Is that so?” Lin An chuckled, “Then watch.”
As for the current situation, coincidentally, he knew a bit of Heart-to-Heart Skewer Fragrance Witchcraft.
Coincidentally, he had also learned the Mind Balance Charm from Mr. Liu.
Once again transforming into Zou Yu, Lin An instantly appeared in the high sky, gently lifting his paw and placing it on that chain.
The Mind Balance Curse measured the weight of the soul, with the strong bonds of relationship affecting the condition of each side of the scales.
Mr. Liu taught Lin An to use this witchcraft with a ‘subordinate’ relationship, which would allow him to utilize the witchcraft abilities of his subordinates. So what if he used a strong bond of ‘care for kinship,’ ‘dependency and being depended on’ to drive it?

After all, witchcraft is the power of spirituality.
The invocation of different emotions should correspondingly change the witchcraft.
A pair of pale hands tore open the sky, amid the surge of dark-gold mist, an increasingly solid dark gold statue appeared behind Lin An in the sky, slowly reaching out a hand, the palm unfolded, holding an increasingly solid scale.
Instantly, two scale pans appeared at the feet of the two dark gold statues.
“Let’s see who cares more about this kinship, who values this bond of dependency and being depended upon more…”
“Hehe~”
Lin An licked his lips, his eyes shining, involuntarily grinning a bit twistedly.
“If I’m not wrong in my analysis, Chen Shuyun’s current state of mind should be weakened, on the contrary, Chen Xinmi desires these affections more.”
“The more one cares, the more disadvantaged one becomes in the soul gamble.”
Witchcraft doesn’t necessarily require flashy effects, nor exaggerated movements.
Just like Lin An’s subordinates, the most powerful is undoubtedly ‘the old accountant,’ a wizard who wields Destiny.
The application of the Soul Balancer was likewise an invisible influence.
No one at the scene, except for Miao Miao, knew what really happened.
Great shapes are formless, great sounds are silent.
Once the witchcraft was activated, the scales shook rapidly, quickly tilting toward Chen Shuyun’s side.
“It’s done!” Lin An softly said.
Boom~
Chen Shuyun, who was struggling to maintain her stance, suddenly exchanged high-temperature steam and fire attacks, letting the deluge be turned into steam by Chen Xinmi.
She not only let it happen but even gave it a push.
In just an instant, the excessive deluge under Chen Xinmi’s influence turned entirely into steam, the expansive volume suddenly turning into a huge cannonball that burst open.
The terrifying windstorm swept through this corner of the forest, continuing to extend into the depths.
Chen Xinmi, at the center, looked unaffected, still standing at the top of the tree with her loose skirt billowing in the gusts, standing firm as a pine.
However, with the rhythm broken, the rhythm of her spell-casting wavered for an instant, and the flames on the big tree were instantly dispersed by the massive windstorm.
All this happened virtually in a blink of an eye.
A white jade python shot forth, its tail as thick as a truck tire viciously struck Chen Xinmi.
Puff~
She was struck, blood spewing as she flew up, forming a parabola before violently crashing into the disturbed, soft mud.
In a flash, Chen Shuyun’s figure appeared where the python was.
She coldly looked at her severely injured sister, “Now, I will banish you. The entrance to this chamber will be modified; even if you tear down Sunshine Library and Sunshine Park, you’ll never find it. From now on, we’ll each go our own way!”
She swung her arm forcefully.
A shadow of a rooster flashed across the sky.
Pop~
As if piercing through the barrier between the real world and Purgatory Space, Chen Xinmi disappeared from the chamber.
Lin An stepped lightly out of the colorful spatial passageway, instantly reverting to human form, silently watching her.
Honestly, Chen Xinmi was indeed driven away this time.
But…
This was actually also the outcome Chen Xinmi needed—to let Chen Shuyun cast aside that dependent emotion, even to betray it.
It is hard to say, in this battle, whether she lost or won.
“You…” Lin An sighed, looking at Chen Shuyun.
At this moment, Chen Shuyun’s eyes were red-rimmed, she looked at Lin An helplessly with tearful eyes, “Lin An, I don’t have a sister anymore…”
She wanted to cry but for some reason couldn’t bring herself to do so, holding back the tears.
Yet the more she held them back, the more she suffered.
Lin An looked at her deeply, thought for a moment, then went over and gently held her, patting her shoulder, “If you want to cry, just let it out!”
As if waiting for a cue, Chen Shuyun could no longer hold back and burst into tears.
“Wuwuwu…”
“I don’t have a sister anymore, no sister…”
Once, they had been so dependent on each other, she didn’t know, she truly didn’t know why everything had turned out this way!
