At this moment, a voice sounded behind Xiao Gucheng. Xiao Gucheng suddenly panicked, and with a crisp sound, the glass in his hand shattered to the ground.

He turned around hastily and noticed it was Yuuma Sentogi. She was wearing a purple dress with an open back, looking like a real witch.

"Sorry, did I scare you?" Xiandumu Yuma took a step back, his words full of apology.

"Nothing...it hurts."

Maybe it was because of embarrassment~ Xiao Gucheng's brain seemed to have short-circuited. He actually squatted down and used his hands to pick up the fragments, and as expected, his fingers were cut by the broken glass.

Seeing this, Yuma naturally reached out, grabbed Akatsuki Kojou's big hand and put his index finger in his mouth... For a moment, the living room seemed to be filled with an ambiguous atmosphere.

Yuma is a girl after all, and she is very clever and deft. She treated Akatsuki Kojou's wound. "Kojou is still the same, so irritable. I have developed the habit of carrying a medical kit with me."

"I'm the one who always plays with you." Xiao Gucheng looked at the Band-Aid on his index finger and spoke in a gentle tone.

"is it?"

Xiandu Muyouma tilted her head, covered her mouth with one hand and smiled slightly. The former tomboy gradually became more feminine.

After that, the two chatted about the past, and the atmosphere in the living room became more and more ambiguous.

"As expected...ancient city~"

In such an atmosphere, Xiandumu Yuma quietly climbed onto the sofa, crawled towards Xiao Gucheng little by little, and her fair face was flushed.

"Huh? Are you going to..."

Xiao Kojou was just a little numb, but he wasn't stupid, so of course he felt the other person's feelings. He had never experienced this before, so he was stunned until he felt that warm touch.

Fireworks exploded outside, and the brilliant lights illuminated the entire night, as if celebrating it.

After a long moment, Sentomu Yuuma released Akatsuki Kojou and looked at him tenderly, "Alright, Kojou, the festival is about to begin."

In a place that Xiao Gucheng didn't notice, a phantom blue shadow appeared faintly.

……

I remember... I think Yuma kissed me? Was it a dream? I feel extra light today.

Akatsuki Kojou's mind was in a daze, and he went to the bathroom to wash up as usual, and then... a beautiful figure was reflected in the mirror, it was Sentoki Yuuma!

"what?"

A different mirror image from before. Xiao Gucheng felt something was wrong, and his brain finally came online, and then he screamed, resounding throughout the entire floor, "What is going on!!!"

Although he is the fourth true ancestor, Akatsuki Kojou is just a half-baked one. When encountering such things, he still has to rely on Himeragi Setsuna.

"It's space."

After pondering for a long time, Himeragi Yukina made a conclusion. After all, there was no magic that could surpass the True Ancestor's curse. "Yuuma exchanged his five senses with the senior through space, thereby gaining control of the senior's body."

"You're so reliable, Himeragi."

Although Xiao Gucheng was not very smart, he still managed to understand it and couldn't help but sigh.

"W-what is it, Senior? Pay attention!"

For a moment, Himeragi Yukina was a little flustered and scolded Akatsuki Kojou for a few words, then gradually calmed down, "Also, since Yuma can use this level of magic..."

"That is to say?"

"Yes, I'm afraid Yuuma is a genuine witch just like Nazuki-sensei!"

At the same time, near the cornerstone gate in the center of Gengami Island, Yuuma Sentoki controlled Akatsuki Kojou's body. He was wearing a cold black robe and had a bit of aristocratic temperament, instead of the loser he used to be.

Yuma looked at the cornerstone door, then his figure flashed and disappeared on the spot.

At the top of the cornerstone gate, the witch sisters hugged each other and let "No.539" play on its own. After all, their mission was only to assist Xiandu Mu Yuma.

"The sound of space warping is so pleasant. The grimoire «No. 539» has truly astonishing power, isn't it, sister?"

"Of course, after all..."

As she was speaking, the witch suddenly realized something, pulled her sister up and quickly launched a defense.

“BOOM, BOOM BOOM—!”

The tentacle-like guardian shattered, and a hint of pure white appeared in the smoke and dust... Watola was still wearing the same white suit, and appeared in front of the two sisters neatly dressed.

"Oh, the witch of Ashton?"

Wattola put his hands in his pockets, his blond hair flowing freely. He looked around and quickly locked onto the source. "A grimoire? Not bad, incredible magic."

"But this technique... are you looking for some valuable item sealed on the island? Unfortunately, you've found the wrong place." He commented casually, completely ignoring the two of them.

Just at this moment, Xiandu Mu Yuma, dressed in black, landed like a superhero, suppressing the conflict that was about to break out.

"You... aren't Gucheng?"

Wattora immediately noticed something was wrong with Akatsuki Kojou, truly a loyal fan. Well, if being eager to devour someone could be considered loyal, "Who are you?"

"Excuse me, Lord Ordiaru."

Yuma put one hand on her chest and performed a very standard chest-touching salute, "My name is Sentoki Yuma, I am the secretary's witch, and the daughter of Sentoki Aya."

346. Intersection

"The Secretary's Witch?"

Watora still maintained her aristocratic elegance, looking very graceful. Well, at least for now. "If I remember correctly... she is the chief librarian of the library, currently imprisoned in the prison barrier of this island."

"Yes, she was imprisoned there. The reason I borrowed the Fourth True Ancestor's body this time was to free her from there."

Sendumi Yuuma explained and walked towards the magic book No. 539. "Also, when the prison barrier is broken, the magic criminals imprisoned there will be released."

"I think... this should meet your expectations. Lord Ordialu, could you please stand by and watch for a while? I'm sure you won't be bored later."

"You know me very well."

In response to this, Watora just said something lightly and let Xiandumu Yuma do what he wanted.

Even though he'd been beaten up by Bai Ye before, he still longed to fight a strong enemy. As for those so-called magical criminals? Just consider it a good stretch.

With Watora's deliberate indulgence, Xiandumu Yuma smoothly unfolded the "No. 539" magic book, and huge magic power erupted.

……

In the sky above, unnoticed by Xiandu Mu Yuma and Wattola, Jiada and Bai Ye were hovering together. Of course, the footage was also being broadcast to the apartment.

"The fourth true ancestor~ unexpectedly capsized in the gutter." There was a hint of laughter in Jiada's tone.

"That's normal. After all, that guy is just a half-baked one. As for forcibly destroying the spell? This girl's small body can't handle it. It's better to be cautious~"

Bai Ye also made his assessment, then waved his hand to bring up a large screen, which was the island's surveillance. "Okay, let's see what the other 'protagonist' is doing."

In just a moment, the surveillance camera locked onto the location of Xiao Gucheng and the other person, and projected it on the screen:

Akatsuki Kojou was still in Yuma's body, walking down the street with Himerahira Setsuna. Considering the gender differences, he hadn't changed his clothes, and was still wearing the same outfit that Yuma had worn last night.

!!!

Suddenly, Akatsuki Kojou sensed his own power and exchanged glances with Himehira Setsuna beside him, "Himehira...?"

"Yes, this is the fluctuation of the senior's magic power, coming from the cornerstone gate."

Without hesitation, Akatsuki Kojou and Himerahira Setsuna quickly rushed towards the Cornerstone Gate. However, when the two turned a certain fork in the road... emmm, where is this?

——The two appeared on the escape passage of an apartment building. Because the transition was too sudden, they even bumped into the guardrail of the passage.

Akatsuki Kojou looked around, confirmed the location of the Cornerstone Gate, then took Himeragi Yukina's hand again and set off.

Unfortunately... the space was too messy, so running around randomly wouldn't work. The two ran through many places: shopping malls, schools, alleys, and even a women's locker room!

After running a few more rounds, Xiao Gucheng began to gasp for breath - if you run too fast, you will die. This is a spatial separation. If you don’t have the right path, you can’t reach your destination.

"Himehira."

After calling out Himehira Setsuna again, Akatsuki Kojou continued his pace, and the scene changed again... Wait! Isn't this the Cornerstone Gate? We've actually arrived already?

Akatsuki Kojou was stunned for a moment. The sudden surprise undoubtedly gave him a shot of adrenaline, and even his running became more powerful. "Hurry, Ji Shu, let's go!"

However, when the two stepped through the glass sensor door, the space changed again, kicking them to the distant harbor... Tsk tsk, it was like falling from heaven to hell, and their mentality collapsed~

"boom--"

"hateful!"

Xiao Gucheng looked at the cornerstone gate in the distance, feeling like he was back to the time before liberation. He punched the container displayed at the port with all his strength, his short chestnut hair falling down and casting a shadow, and he felt very unwilling.

"This is really..."

Elsewhere, Jiada witnessed this scene through the light screen, her expression a bit strange. Although Xiao Gucheng's experience seemed quite tragic, why was she so happy in her heart?

Raising her hand to hide the slightly raised corners of her mouth, Jiada turned her gaze to Bai Ye beside her, "Do you want to help him? If this goes on, I don't think he'll be able to get here in a day."

"Someone will take action."

"Oh? Is there any special person around that kid who can help him deal with this situation..."

As she spoke, Jiada gradually fell silent as she thought of something. In that dusty history, there was one person who could never be avoided—Cain!

After all, this island was originally designed as an "altar to Cain." Jada's lips parted slightly, her tone slightly complicated, "You mean... the witch of Cain?"

"Yes."

Bai Ye nodded and glanced at Jiada inadvertently. He felt the strangeness in the other person's tone.

Bai Ye only knew a part of Cain's story. He seemed to be... friends with the three True Ancestors? So, did this remind him of an old friend?

……

"Di Di-"

At that moment, Akatsuki Kojou received a text message on his phone, along with a photo of Asagi sleeping. A voice chimed in, "Senior, what is this photo of...?"

!!!

Xiao Gucheng shuddered, leaning against the container and explaining frantically, "Um... well... I don't know either! I don't know who it is..."

A small envelope icon popped up, interrupting Akatsuki Kojou's thoughts. "It seems to be from Asagi?"

He clicked on the icon, and the phone automatically jumped to the map navigation software, with a line of small words attached: Leave the space anomalies to me ~ Xianshen Island Navigation.

"This is……?"

Xiao Gucheng's eyes widened slightly. The mapping software had mapped out a detailed route—utilizing the island's spatial distortions to construct the shortest path to the destination. "That's a huge help!"

"Himehira."

"Yes, senior!"

With a detailed route, the two finally stopped running around impulsively as before and saw hope of reaching their destination.

The space shifted, and the two appeared in the northern part of Genshin Island, further away from the center of the island. But they did not panic. Akatsuki Kojou glanced at the navigation in his hand and said, "Himehira, this way!"

After that, Xiao Gucheng and the others finally arrived at their destination after jumping through school corridors, abandoned alleys, busy streets... and so on.

At this moment, it was already dark. Following Nangong Nayue's instructions, the security team simply surrounded the area and did not launch an attack, leaving everything to the "professionals."

……

"Yuuma!"

Following a spatial fluctuation, Akatsuki Kojou and Himerahira Setsuna appeared at the top of the cornerstone gate, and immediately saw Yuma who was controlling his body not far away.

"You came quickly, Gucheng."

Xiandumu Yuma was wearing a black robe. He turned his head slightly to look at the approaching Akatsuki Kojou, his silver hair fluttering in the wind. "You are always like this. You know nothing, but you always appear at the critical moment."

347. Crimson Feather

"Alright Yuuma, give me your body back!"

"Well, I'll give it back to you right away."

Despite this, Sentomu Yuma still hadn't unleashed the spell—her goal hadn't been achieved. She flipped through the pages of the magic book, searching for the prison barrier.

"Oh, ancient city."

Wattola, standing by, also looked over, still with his hands in his pockets, and said with a hint of teasing, "You've become quite cute~"
