Chi Chenxi was talking to someone with a sullen face. When she saw Jiang Kehan, she summoned a handful of water and wiped her face.
"What's wrong, Kehan? Is there something you need?"
Jiang Kehan withdrew her gaze, took a deep breath, and looked very serious.
"Miss Chi, were you aware that Li Hui's magical properties before enrolling in school were those of a freshman?"
Chi Chenxi was slightly taken aback and immediately suspected that someone had violated the internal rules of the Witch Organization and secretly passed the message to Jiang Kehan.
But she still had confidence in the loyalty of the people inside. After a moment's thought, she narrowed her eyes and spoke with a hint of doubt.
"Did Ariel tell you this?"
After much thought, the most likely person Jiang Kehan could come into contact with is Ai Li'er.
Jiang Kehan didn't hide anything, nodded, and pressed for an answer.
"Since the Witch Organization knew about this, why didn't you tell me? Also, do you know the reason for the change in Li Hui's magical properties?"
Jiang Kehan's trust in the Witch Organization plummeted. The fact that such an important matter hadn't been communicated to her beforehand made her suspect their motives for arranging for her to get close to Li Hui.
Chi Chenxi looked at Jiang Kehan, whose tone was distant, and knew that the other party was pressuring her, so she closed her eyes.
I hate working overtime, especially overtime that isn't scheduled. Damn it, I have to apply for a stipend when I get back, or I'm quitting!
"Relax, Kehan, things aren't actually that complicated."
Chi Chenxi comforted Jiang Kehan, scratching her head in distress, and spoke with a hint of self-abandonment.
"Forget it, I'll just tell you directly why the other party's magic properties have changed, and then explain the reasons in detail, otherwise you won't trust what I say."
Chi Chenxi looked at Jiang Kehan, who was vaguely gathering anger and felt deceived, and felt somewhat at a loss.
She sighed, no longer avoiding Jiang Kehan's probing gaze, stared at her, and casually snapped her fingers.
Jiang Kehan looked at the confidentiality agreement that popped up on the terminal and knew that she was about to be involved in confidential information from within the Witch Organization. After reviewing the agreement and finding no problems, she carefully entered her magic power.
After Jiang Kehan signed the agreement, Chi Chenxi sent her some information and explained it to her.
"The magical properties of a witch are somewhat confidential, and we have no reason to collect them. Take a look at this information."
"As for how we learned about the change in Li Hui's magical properties, it was purely because she found us herself."
She shrugged and waited for Jiang Kehan to finish reviewing the information.
Jiang Kehan looked very carefully, and the more she looked, the more incredulous she became.
The above records the entire process of Li Hui finding "Name Erased" and trying to ask the other party for help.
Li Hui explained in detail the reason for her change—she must have memories of her past life, right?!
Seriously, sister? It's not like I time-traveled and you were reborn, is it?
But upon closer inspection, Jiang Kehan couldn't help but gasp. In Li Hui's description, the so-called memories of her past life seemed more like an obsession that haunted her.
Li Hui denies having had a past life, but inexplicably another soul keeps whispering so-called "memories of her past life" in her ear.
"Well, it was later confirmed that she did not have a past life, but perhaps it would be better to call it the memories before she became a witch."
Looking at the somewhat bewildered Jiang Kehan, Chi Chenxi gazed at her meaningfully and slowly spoke.
"Later it was proven that Li Hui was also a transformation witch in a sense, but unlike you, Li Hui became a witch on her own and belonged to the most talented primordial witch."
No wonder even though my talent is strong enough, I still can't understand how Li Hui managed to defeat the witch from behind. Did the other party have this buff?
Jiang Kehan reluctantly believed Chi Chenxi's words and continued scrolling down.
Suddenly, a large number of asterisks appeared on the data, indicating that it involved many things she was unaware of, but fortunately, the final result was clear.
In the end, Li Hui successfully resolved this "obsession," but it also caused a lot of problems.
She was influenced by her pre-transformation beliefs, which were gradually being awakened, but she had completely lost her memories, making it impossible for her to reintegrate into this world.
Like someone who has been asleep for a thousand years and has awakened from the future, no matter how they try to integrate, there will always be an insurmountable barrier between them.
More abstractly, because Li Hui lacked complete memories from before the transformation, she sometimes didn't even know why she did what she did, which further exacerbated her alienation.
Jiang Kehan stared at the document for a long time, and her heart suddenly clenched.
No wonder Chi Chenxi told me that Li Hui is more like an otherworldly being than I am; no wonder the reasons for these changes in magical properties are not important.
After resolving this issue, Li Hui became the most familiar stranger to this world; the only one who could change her was herself.
She knew she was awaiting her own death, and chose to quietly end her life alone.
The significance of Jiang Kehan's mission is to give Li Hui a reason, a reason to stay in this world.
"Is this why Li Hui's magic is characterized by annihilation? Is she waiting for her own annihilation?"
Jiang Kehan's voice was a little choked up, but she still looked at Chi Chenxi with strength, which made the other person feel a little happy.
As expected of a witch who is described as not being a witch, finally someone who, after learning the reason for the mission, did not choose to respect Li Hui's own wishes.
Although it may seem abstract, for witches, if other witches are genuinely awaiting their own death, their friends will simply offer their condolences and respect.
Because, for a witch driven by idealism, the only things that can shake her heart are her family and herself.
Li Hui, however, has no family.
Chi Chenxi looked at Jiang Kehan with great anticipation in her eyes.
"Although it's shameless, we still hope you can continue to contact Li Hui and do your best to keep her here. But don't put too much pressure on yourself. A witch can only be completely dominated by her inner self after becoming a great witch, although Li Hui's talent destined her to become a great witch."
"But you still have plenty of time."
……
Above Jiang Kehan's dormitory, Black Crow Yan Bilin, who was half-squatting, pouted and spoke to White Crow Sonia in a somewhat indistinct manner.
"By the way, how much longer are you going to observe? Haven't you thought about going to make contact with them yourself?"
"The so-called redemption mission is clearly to make Jiang Kehan a true witch—a witch who is fully integrated into witch society. Wouldn't it be better to influence her when she is distracted?"
Sonia gently kicked Yan Bilin and looked into the distance.
"We're not the only ones trying to make two birds with one stone. Besides, even we don't know what Li Hui's so-called past life was. Do you think she's easy to fool?"
She shuddered as she thought about the image she had magically created and her own actions, and then spoke to Yan Bilin.
“Let’s go back first. Jiang Kehan no longer needs our secret guidance. She will become one of the witches.”
"Moreover, quite a few things have happened recently."
Yan Bilin stretched lazily, nonchalantly revealing her canine teeth, and said with a somewhat bloodthirsty smile.
"Yay! I haven't gone on a killing spree in ages, I can finally unleash my power!"
Seeing Yan Bilin's somewhat excited expression, Sonia's gaze softened considerably, and the two then turned and left.
Chapter 72 The Contradiction of Redemption Methods
"I will."
Jiang Kehan held her head, feeling a bit dizzy from the long-lost feeling, and forced herself to speak to Chi Chenxi.
Knowing all this, she felt a vague sense of regret. Perhaps it was right that the Witch Organization hadn't told her. The more she knew, the heavier the burden became.
Can I really save someone's life?
Jiang Kehan seemed to see herself clinging to Li Hui's leg, begging him in his last moments, saying she would do anything he asked.
Then Li Hui gently pulled her into his arms, lifted her up from the ground, but pushed her away, laughed as he fell down, welcoming his final farewell.
No, absolutely not!
Jiang Kehan's mind was filled with the image of the other person's outstretched hand at the ball, the not-so-sharp fingertips digging into her flesh and staining her nails red.
I want to be friends with Li Hui for life!
"I certainly will!"
Jiang Kehan felt a little short of breath and couldn't help but raise her voice, looking firmly at Chi Chenxi as she repeated it, as if she were talking to herself.
Chi Chenxi was somewhat surprised; the other party's attitude was beyond her expectations.
She wondered when their relationship had become so good, and couldn't help but scratch her face to comfort herself.
"Well, there's no need to rush. Becoming a great witch isn't that easy; it takes at least a decade or more."
"Besides, Li Hui himself is just waiting to die, not seeking death, so don't worry about it."
Jiang Kehan was not so optimistic. She couldn't imagine how heartbroken she would be or how much she would regret it after Li Hui left.
You should know that she was the first to teach her the basics of the witch world, the first to lead her into the hall of magic, and the first to pull her out of loneliness!
She is my only friend in this world right now!
"I will. Can you tell me about the Witch Organization's original plan?" Jiang Kehan tried to calm herself down, knowing that panicking would only make things worse.
What she cared about was that since the Witch Organization knew all about Li Hui's situation, it couldn't possibly be just a simple task assigned to her.
Do they really believe they can succeed? Even Jiang Kehan herself doesn't have confidence.
As expected, Chi Chenxi calmly revealed their backup plan.
"As long as Kehan can make Li Hui have some lingering feelings, we can use this as leverage to modify some of her memories, with Li Hui's consent, so that she can completely get rid of the influence of her past life."
Jiang Kehan frowned, looking at Chi Chenxi with disbelief, and couldn't help but speak.
"Memory alteration?!"
It's no wonder Jiang Kehan didn't control her attitude; the news was just too shocking.
She couldn't help but stand up and question him.
"For a witch who is driven by idealism, once her memories and inner self don't match, Li Hui will be trapped at the level of a mid-level witch for the rest of her life, and she will continue to regress, eventually becoming a useless person with magical power but unable to use it!"
“At least, she can live, right?” Chi Chenxi smiled somewhat reluctantly, trying to comfort Jiang Kehan. “Besides, her wisdom will not disappear with her power, and she can still realize her potential.”
"What if she regains her memories?" Jiang Kehan moved the corners of her mouth, reluctantly voicing her question.
Chi Chenxi fell silent. For a witch, the concept of self is ingrained in her bones. No matter how powerful the magic, with the passage of time, Li Hui will inevitably regain her memories one day.
Even if this timeframe is measured in hundreds of thousands of years.
Seeing Chi Chenxi fall silent, Jiang Kehan sat back down in her chair, feeling utterly defeated.
Isn't this the difference between slow death and immediate death?
