witcher of light

Chapter 1 An Ordinary Day

Summer afternoon.

The sound of cicadas is endless.

The street is very stuffy, the sky is very cloudy, it seems that a heavy rain is coming.

19-year-old Wang Li hurriedly walked on the street, his back was already wet.

He lowered his head when he walked, which really made people doubt whether he could see the road ahead clearly.

Suddenly, a pair of slender and smooth legs came into his eyes... He quickly opened his eyes and stepped aside as if frightened.

Whispering words that no one could hear: "I'm sorry..."

The owner of those beautiful legs didn't blame him either, just stepped aside a little bit, and left with confident and crisp steps.

Wang Li was silent for a while, he was very envious of such confident footsteps.

But now he can only continue to move forward with small steps.

He has an important interview and is going to be late.

No, to be precise, if you take the original road, you are doomed to be late!
Involuntarily, he stopped in front of an alley with a very hesitant expression.

He loosened his neckline, raised his head slightly, and his eyes have become firm.

Then he didn't care about anything, he lifted his foot and walked in...

This is an alley that hardly gets sunlight in, and there are some shade-loving weeds stubbornly growing at the base of the walls on both sides of the alley.

The moment he stepped into the alley, he felt a gust of cold wind blowing... His back, which was already soaked in sweat, felt a coolness.

"I'll make a bowl of ginger soup when I get back."

Wang Li is well aware of his physique.

But this is in his expectation, and he even knows that he will face worse things next...

Sure enough, after a while, he felt a sense of spooky gaze in this dark alley... It was as if there was an eye watching him in the dark.

When Wang Li passed through a cracked wall, he suddenly discovered something...

He backed up to the crack in the wall, squinted his eyes and looked inside...

The chaotic chirping of cicadas is inexplicably disturbing.

Suddenly, a big eyeball suddenly appeared in the crack of the wall, as if a living person's eye appeared on the wall!
Wang Li was taken aback, but he wasn't afraid.

He quickly calmed himself down, then reached out and grabbed the big eyeball and pulled it off the wall... This is not the courage of ordinary people.

He said: "Don't follow me, I'm not afraid of you..."

He dropped his 'eyeball' on the ground, and watched as calmly as possible.

The next moment, three legs grew out from under the big eyeball, and then quickly disappeared with the three short legs.

...It's just a newborn spirit, and there will always be such little guys in every corner of this city.

Wang Li heaved a sigh of relief, he felt that his bad luck should get better, right?
However, just as he was thinking this way, a flash of lightning flashed across the sky...

"Boom!"

Thunder followed.

He murmured that he was unlucky, and hurriedly ran forward...

But he was still a little slower, the rain had already fallen down, and it turned into a downpour in a very short time.

"You should bring an umbrella before going out."

He sighed inwardly.

It's more of a frustration.

How can he go to the interview with such a drowned look?
Should he show his worst side in front of the interviewer?
Thunder roared, heavy rain poured down, and the whole world seemed to have turned into a gray tone.

His footsteps slowed down, and he naturally felt timid in his heart, thinking that he could just go home and forget about it.

But just as he slowed down and was about to walk out of the alley hesitantly, he saw two figures.

One is a person, looking like an old homeless man, leaning against an illegal shack in an alley to hide from the rain...the other one is not a person.

The torrential rain washed the ground, making a 'squeak' sound.

This made Wang Li's ears full of noise, but he seemed to be unable to hear anything, only the noise caused by the sound of rain remained.

He focused on the figure opposite the old homeless man...

Is that...a big spider?

A big spider as tall as a person!
The stiff black hair on the spider's legs didn't shake much even under the washing of the heavy rain, and the eight compound eyes on its head made the scalp tingle.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa~"

The torrential rain was still washing over his body, and the last trace of heat from Wang Li's body seemed to be taken away by the rain.

Run!
He wanted to yell at the old tramp, but found that his timid voice was completely speechless.

He watched helplessly as the big spider approached the homeless man... crawling slightly, as if it wanted to hunt!

Suddenly, a brick suddenly hit the big spider's head.

The big spider turned its head fiercely, and saw Wang Li was about to throw another brick...

He shook his hands and ran.

His footsteps and breathing were messy, because he was not good at running, and he was actually flustered.

In fact, when he reacted, he didn't have the slightest confidence in whether he could run away.

Simply, he stopped and turned around.

He wanted to face the terrifying monster.

Surprisingly, there is nothing behind it!

"that person……"

Wang Li suddenly realized something, and ran back quickly.

The exhaustion of physical strength made his lungs seem to convulse, but what was really uncomfortable was the swelling of his head, which was a sign that his body was about to reach its limit... It wasn't that he couldn't run anymore, but that his head couldn't take it anymore.

He hurriedly calmed down his fluctuating mood, and the headache symptoms got better.

Returning to the original place, he was stunned by the sight in front of him.

He saw that the big spider had four of its legs removed, and its head fell to the ground!
And what about the bum?
He was crouching beside the big spider and slowly picking up something.

Rain, a little less.

At least it is no longer that voice that covers everything.

The raindrops dripping from the surrounding eaves made a series of 'ding ding dong dong', which was very pleasant to the ear.

Wang Li got closer...

"Why did you come back?"

The old tramp glanced at him and asked a strange question.

The aura is a little strong, which is not for ordinary people.

Wang Li was timid again at that time, he lowered his head and said hastily, "It's good that you're fine."

Then he didn't dare to look at the unexpected eyes of the old homeless man, turned his head and prepared to go back the same way.

Anyway, the clothes are already soaked, and the interview will definitely be laughed at, so why not go back and change clothes quickly to avoid catching a cold...

He thought so.

As soon as he came back to his senses, he saw that old homeless man appearing in front of him... When? !

He hurriedly stopped, wanting to go around from another angle.

"and many more."

He was stopped.

He obviously wanted to go home, but he stopped obediently.

"Although you made me spend a lot of time, but still...thank you."

The old tramp said seriously.

Wang Li lowered his head even more, he didn't know how to respond, he could only remain silent in embarrassment.

The old tramp said again: "I remember you are going that way, how can you go back?"

Wang Li breathed a sigh of relief, he can answer this question.

He said: "I wanted to interview for a job, but it would be impolite to go now... I can only go home."

The tramp nodded noncommittally, and said nothing more.

Seeing this, Wang Li thought that he had finished asking, and after waiting for a while in a daze, he was about to turn around and leave.

"Don't go."

The homeless man stopped him again.

Wang Li stopped obediently, but he still didn't speak, just waiting.

The homeless man suddenly threw a metal button and said, "This is for you."

Wang Li caught it in a hurry. He looked curiously, and saw six small dots distributed in a hexagonal shape on the surface of the button at a glance.

He looked up blankly.

Although the long bangs still almost covered his eyes, the homeless man could clearly see his delicate and weak face.

The tramp didn't care what he looked like, and just said, "Look at this button."

Wang Li did as he did, but he didn't know the meaning of it.

Then the tramp said, "Focus on it, give it all your attention."

This was a bit difficult for Wang Li, because his past experience made it difficult for him to fully concentrate on one thing, it would only make him feel painful.

So he can only gather his attention from the sound of insects, the sound of rain, and the surroundings little by little, and then put it on that button...

The next moment, the button lit up one by one as if constipated.

All the six small dots on it lit up, and then slowly there were lines running through it, and finally it became a...not a hexagon, but a hexagram!

The homeless man waited by the side for seven or eight minutes, and sighed inwardly with some disappointment, "Now, press this pattern on the corpse of the evil spider."

Wang Li seemed to understand something, but his expression was still calm. He slowly tentatively stretched out his hand, and pressed the button with the six-pointed star on the big spider's body...

"boom!"

The next moment, a cluster of incandescent flames ignited the entire body of the big spider.

Even if it is still raining now, it can't affect the momentum of the white fire at all.

The old vagabond had already said: "This is spiritual fire, it cannot be seen by ordinary people, and it will not be extinguished by ordinary water."

He wanted to see the shocked look on Wang Li's face...

In fact, he saw it, but the shock was fleeting, and then returned to calm.

"It seems that you have seen many evil spirits?" the old man asked.

The rain stopped, and the cicadas around him started singing again, which made Wang Li feel a little better.

He said, "Yes, there is no way to treat it as invisible."

The old man hesitated for a while, and finally said: "In this case, I have a job as a 'cleaner' here, do you want to do it?"

Wang Li unexpectedly raised his head for the second time, he did not expect to encounter such a turning point.

The old man said: "I'm very old, I just want to find a young man to help me... Besides, you also need a job, don't you?"

Wang Li lowered his head again. He looked at the hexagram button still in his hand, and then at the empty ground...

Ask: "Cleaner, like that?"

The old man was surprised: "Although your aptitude is a bit poor, you are smarter than I imagined."

"Thanks... Thank you for the compliment."

Wang Li bowed his head in thanks.

The old man was puzzled... Just now, was that a compliment?
