"Is she serious?" Bacchus looked at Xu Yang for help.
"In a sense, yes." Xu Yang said, "Let me sort out the situation for you from the beginning - the rat infestation lasted for three days and has been subsided. In order to stop the aftermath, the Shenkong Building was blown up by another Mateo.
, Sally and a large number of rats were killed, causing endless trouble. However, the Bronze Titan Mining Site is still the key to the fight for giant companies, and the main force of the Blackfire Innovation has retreated, so your mission has failed."
"...I see." Bacchus struggled to digest the information she had learned, and in one word, the past was no longer the same.
She looked at the porthole in despair, without speaking. The darkness outside was like a closing stage curtain, announcing the end of a drama.
"You have reason to feel uneasy." Xu Yang further enlightened, "After all, not everyone has experienced resurrection, but if you really miss your partners, then take their share of life to realize their future.
It’s an ideal that can be achieved.”
"They gave me a name in private," Bacchus' gaze remained in the darkness. "Mizuro, Yoshioka Mizuro, was named by a good man. His daughter was also named this name, but she got seriously ill and died. Everyone
I hope I can live with this name, and they all take good care of me. They are all roughnecks and mercenaries, affiliated with small companies, signing yin and yang contracts, working for a giant like Blackfire, and they will have to die.
No compensation.”
"As long as you are alive, it is still possible to do it," Xu Yang said, "to make up for all their wishes, Miss Yoshioka."
"It's better to call me Bacchus," Falosa said.
"No matter what." Bacchus nodded and sighed, "It seems that I have to work, make money, and send mail to their families. I hope they are still here."
"You can follow me first," Xu Yang said, "If there is a suitable job, I will pay you, and you can take care of your food and accommodation on this shuttle."
"What else can you do besides octopus tricks?" Falosa looked at the ink stains on Bacchus's hand.
"I am a hacker witch," Backus slowly recalled the knowledge he was instilled in her. "I can crack some electronic programs and solve some technical problems."
"It doesn't sound comparable to Xu Yang's work." Falosa has seen what Xu Yang can do and is not interested in ordinary hackers.
"Of course, digital mind..." Backus was a little frustrated.
"It would be great if I could help with the testing of the shuttle." Lila offered, "Miss Yoshioka, could you please help debug this shuttle?"
"...I, I understand." Bacchus came to his senses and walked towards the center console. Lila gave her her seat. Bacchus slowly edited the operating rules for the shuttle to further improve the energy consumption ratio. The work made her feel depressed.
The mood has been restored.
"She still didn't answer me." Falosa came back to her senses and whispered to Xu Yang, "Why doesn't she want the power so close at hand? That's what I said."
"It's impossible to conquer everyone with one kind of words," Xu Yang rubbed Falosa, "Grow up quickly."
"By the way," Bacchus turned around, "Did you say before that Mouse and Sally...are completely finished?"
"Yes," Xu Yang said, "They caused a lot of trouble, but they still died during the encirclement and suppression by the company's security. In the end, they fought to the death and split with Mateo, only to be blown to pieces by Mateo."
"It's the people of the Blackfire Revolution who are causing trouble. They have been trying to contact various rat-people forces," Bacchus recalled the information he knew. "Sally and her people live in the nearby rat village. Mateo was three days in advance.
Yue found them, provided stamps for Sally, helped them train giant rats, strengthened Sally's magic power, and promised to help them capture Aizu City and turn the entire underground city into the home of the rat people. But this was all a lie.
.”
"Mateo's true purpose is..."
"Create chaos and cover them up to kidnap the ancient witch and leave." Bacchus pointed at Falosa, "Everything is just for her..."
"Aim your finger at me again and I will kill you." Farosha was very dissatisfied.
"You should be approachable." Xu Yang said, "Why are you always so cruel."
"I am the leader of the witches, and I will inevitably become the new king of the witches." Falosa raised her eyebrows, "If any cub witch is so offensive to me, how can I still rule?"
"Violence can only breed resistance," Xu Yang said. "I don't need to explain this truth."
"Hmph..." Falosa curled her lips.
"We have too many things to accomplish," Xu Yang leaned back and leaned on his seat, "Take you for example. You are very strong, but you can't succeed alone. You must recruit more people with different abilities.
Witches with this kind of power can join our camp, so that we can compete with other companies, even challenge giant companies, and ultimately achieve our goal - to change the status quo. Therefore, recruiting witches and expanding our base is the top priority."
"Why did the witch join you?" Bacchus asked.
Of course it's power. Farosha thought to herself. But you don't just like power. Hey, just change your words. It's really annoying.
Falosa showed soft eyes and walked towards Bacchus.
"I can help you grow," Falosa gently touched Bacchus's face. She was a little surprised. "In the era I live in, the path for witches to grow stronger is very obvious. They must first seek help from God, and God will do it.
Give responses and rewards.”
"I...I heard that God no longer exists." Bacchus was confused. The company destroyed all churches and disbanded all mysteries to prevent the resurgence of ancient powers.
"But in me, God's glory has been restored. After all, I am a loyal servant of God. It is only natural that God has entrusted part of his responsibilities to me as an agent." Falosa whispered in Bacchus's ear,
"Now, I can act on behalf of part of God's will, that is, to promote and reward loyal servants, so that you can protect yourself, realize your ideals, and prove the value of your existence."
"How?" Bacchus' voice trembled.
“Accept the gift with an open heart,” Falosa said, “and be grateful for what comes next.”
She asked Bacchus to sit upright.
Xu Yang vaguely saw some changes in Falosa's hand. The skin seemed to become softer, covered with purple scars, and no longer pale. She moved her hand upwards, closer to Bacchus.
"What did you feel?" Falosa asked quietly.
"Wet..." Bacchus gasped, "...the sea...stretched out its tentacles to me..."
"Say: 'I obey Falosa, the God of Witches'."
"I obey... Falosa, the God of Witches..." Bacchus was originally a little afraid of Falosa, but now it was even more difficult to control himself, and he tried his best to make a clear voice.
"That's right." Farossa kissed Bacchus gently on the forehead, then took her hand back, "I will give you power."
"Has there been any change?" Xu Yang was curious.
"The magic...is overflowing." Bacchus stood up, trembling in the cabin.
"The coating has limited the leakage of magic power fluctuations," Lila said, "but it is still recommended to install a more powerful magic shielding device for this shuttle."
After being blessed by Farosha, Bacchus fell to the ground uncontrollably, and a large amount of ink spurted out from his hands, like an ink-making factory. These black liquid substances have surpassed the definition of ordinary ink and have some abnormal vitality.
They first disintegrated, and then began to fuse themselves from the liquid state, forming smaller ink creatures, crawling on the ground, like countless tiny black lives, uttering suppressed whispers, crying out for their mother, like a new race emerging from
Creation out of nothingness.
"The magic power needs to be developed," Falosa said, "I just gave you a little liberation. Ha, it seems that the inkjet can only be used as ink for scribes, but you know, this is already a very powerful active creative type.
It’s magic.”
"They look very powerful." Xu Yang poked a small ink creature on the ground. It was very angry and bit Xu Yang's finger, but it was not able to bite it because of the nano-armor.
"The strength of a witch lies not only in the size of her magic power, but also in the understanding and development of her own abilities." Falosa said, "Xu Yang, you once said that some witches who can give birth to plants can only serve as flowers under the Witch Council.
Craftsman, you are wrong. If they are smart enough, they can transform a large piece of land into a dense forest ecosystem surrounded by towering ancient trees, and become immortal queens of green space there, even better than working for a company."
"This is the second innovation," Xu Yang realized Falosa's new power. "With the help of 'gods', the ladder of growth of witches' abilities will be re-opened. The witches will have the ability to form their own system, continue to develop, and the broken inheritance will be restored again."
Return."
"Bacchus, you are honored to be my loyal servant," Farosha stroked Bacchus' hair, "Your potential is endless, more than some mechanical bodies."
"The mechanical body will become your nemesis." Lila said, "Giant companies also know how to exploit the potential of witches. In the future, as the arms race escalates, major companies will gradually relax restrictions and will not hesitate to support their own witches to fight against you.
's little council."
"No, I'm sure the power she gave is something no company can give..." Bacchus leaned against the wall. After a while, the little creatures made of ink all over the floor died one after another. She stretched out her hand to recall, and the ink fell from the ground.
It was peeled off and returned to her body without leaving any ink marks on the ground. "It's like being reborn...you know that the prosthetic clinic blocked my magic circuit, and she easily destroyed all those shackles."
"Gratitude and obedience are the virtues I want to see in you." Farosha looked at Bacchus tenderly, "Will you do this?"
Before Bacchus could make a conclusion, there were bursts of rustling digging sounds coming from outside.
"What is that?" Falosa frowned, "What kind of company is he?"
"No, it's a familiar face." Xu Yang said. In the built-in channel, Lila sent a detailed interception report, letting him know that there was nothing to worry about.
