I Bound Myself to a Destructive Witch-Chapter 334 - 309. Truly worthy of being Mu Shen
Under the night sky, there weren't many people walking in the park, only a scattering of couples strolling about.
The evening breeze brushed by as Little Xiafeng sat on a riverside swing. As he gently swayed back and forth, his black pupils eagerly watched a group of boys playing soccer on the lawn, longing to join them.
However, he ultimately took no action because he knew those boys wouldn't include him in their play.
At that moment, his gaze fell upon a white-dressed girl sitting on the opposite swing.
She swung gently, her soft ink-black hair dancing in the breeze, her pale purple eyes tranquil, locking sight with Little Xiafeng's dark ones.
"Cha Naixue?" Xia Feng and Mu Qingtong both recognized who the girl was.
Though her features were somewhat immature, the similarities between the girl in the white dress and Cha Naixue were easily discernible.
It seemed that the forthcoming memories would be about interactions with Cha Naixue.
Xia Feng actually remembered some vague memories with Cha Naixue from his childhood; he liked to visit her home often, and they got along very well.
Now, adding to the memories before he was twelve, he quickly recalled that the days spent with Cha Naixue must have been between 12 and 14 years old. After turning 14, he lost his memory due to unknown reasons and was later adopted by Wei Shutong from Area 51.
Between the ages of 12 and 14, Liu Zhengen was quite satisfied with his performance, so his status within Liu Mansion was second only to Liu Zhengen and Gong Changyi, granting him many privileges.
For that reason, he would leave the mansion every two or three days to play with Cha Naixue, practically sticking with her daily.
Also for that reason, Sister Yi grew... increasingly dissatisfied with him, often liking to shove his face to the ground during training and humiliate him with her foot.
"The essence of life is constant loss, but Little Feng, there's one thing I absolutely cannot lose. Do you know what it is?"
"No... I don't know..."
"Little Feng, remember, your body belongs to your sister only. Do you understand? I can't lose your body."
"... Sister Yi, I don't quite understand."
"Xia Feng, your sister allows you to be in contact with that surname Cha, but you must not have any physical contact with her. Can you do that?"
"Ah? Why?"
"Little Feng, you used to not question me, just answer with an acknowledgment. So, do you understand?"
"I—stop stepping on me! Sister, I understand."
"Mm, Little Feng is the best~"
The memories flickered rapidly through Xia Feng's mind, with Gong Changyi's increasingly irate, frail, and repressed face surfacing in his heart.
As a child, he didn't understand and just thought that Sister Yi was going through what Sister Nai Xue described as a girl's 'adolescence' again—easy to anger and neurologically unsound...
But now, Xia Feng understood that Sister Yi was realizing... that the little brother who used to cling to her was not only detaching from her but also gradually slipping from her control, leading to an abnormal psychological change.
The swing stopped swaying, and the girl in the white dress hopped off in the distance.
But at this moment.
A vaguely human silhouette emerged in the center of the lawn, eventually coalescing into the figure of a man cloaked in a deep red cape.
The man looked around indifferently, quickly locking onto Xia Feng's direction with his gaze.
"The hunter has finally come," Mu Qingtong's thought echoed.
Xia Feng frowned involuntarily; his memories from ages 12 to 14 weren't fully restored yet, but the hunter had arrived.
The memories from 12 to 14 were extremely important, filled with many uncertainties.
Questions like how he became acquainted with Cha Naixue, why he eventually lost his memory, why he escaped the control of Liu Mansion, and how he managed to travel from Area 50 to Area 51 to be adopted by Wei Shutong.
He now knew that Liu Mansion was situated in a suburban city within the 50th District. Given the distance between Districts 50 and 51, it seemed highly unlikely he would end up that far away if he were merely roaming the streets; it was more probable that someone had taken him there. But who could that person be?
More importantly, how did the Evil Demon Heart appear?
He had carefully sensed Little Xiafeng's physical condition; the heart was normal, with no trace of the Evil Demon Heart.
"I've found you, kid."
The cloaked figure chuckled softly as he slowly approached Xia Feng.
Killing this child and then waiting for his good brother to take care of Mu Qingtong would make for a perfect wrap-up to the day.
Buzz—Buzz—
But right at that moment, the ground beneath began to tremble, and the world shook.
"Huh?"
The cloaked figure, Xia Feng, and Mu Qingtong were all momentarily stunned by the abrupt change. As confusion swept over them, the tremors of the world quickly subsided, returning to calm.
Whoosh—
However, at the same time, the pedestrians around them suddenly turned their heads, some even twisting their necks a full 180°, all staring at little Xia Feng with expressionless faces.

Every 'person' in this world stopped what they were doing and looked at him, their eyes cold and devoid of any emotion.
Little Xia Feng was momentarily confused, a sense of inexplicable fear gripping his heart, until finally, Xia Feng took full control of his own body.
He controlled his younger self to jump off the swing, "Miss Mu, do you know what's going on?"
"The Law of the Memory World has intervened."
The woman in the black dress lifted her beautiful eyes towards the void, "The world detected that my younger self has developed self-awareness and has broken through to the Seventh Rank limit, triggering an automatic defense mechanism, starting to gather all forces to hunt me down across the world."
"Ah?" Xia Feng was a bit dumbfounded. What do you mean your younger self has developed self— consciousness?!
So, does this mean the young self as an NPC realized the world is fake and then broke through to the Seventh Rank just by sheer imagination?
Geez... Xia Feng found this way too unbelievable.
"So, what now? Your younger self won't break out of the original world and come looking for you, right?" Xia Feng asked cautiously.
"Mhm." Mu Qingtong nodded indifferently.
"..."
6, Xia Feng was completely impressed and could only acknowledge that it was just like Mu Shen— even a fictitious memory body could be so incredible.
Tap—Tap—
Footsteps rang out, and Xia Feng turned to look, only to see two figures, one tall and one short, appear behind him.
It was Liu Zhengen and Gong Changyi.
However, their expressions were cold and indifferent, their gaze frosty and emotionless.
At this moment, they were no longer themselves, but strings of antivirus code controlled by the Memory World, intent on eliminating Mu Qingtong, the outrageous bug, and Xia Feng, the little bug protected by the outrageous bug.
Liu Zhengen's Spiritual Pressure spread out, releasing the terrifying aura of the Venerable.
The Memory World would replicate the strength of all NPCs according to World Law on a one-to-one basis. This meant that six years ago, Liu Zhengen had already reached the Venerable Realm.
Xia Feng was surprised to find that Doctor Liu, who always seemed gentle and refined, was actually a Venerable-level powerhouse.
But, upon further thought, it made sense that someone who could oversee an enormous experiment like the Eternal Day Core would not be weak.
The cloaked figure looked at the NPCs, who were expressionlessly closing in around him, still somewhat puzzled. What the heck... what exactly was happening?
Why was this different from what he had expected?
But.... it seemed not to be a bad thing, after all.
At least these NPCs weren't targeting him. With this thought, his previously tense heart relaxed slightly, and he smiled with a hint of interest, silently observing the drama unfold.
"Boom—"
With a step forward, Liu Zhengen and Gong Changyi were the first to strike, their eyes ice cold as they launched their attack at Xia Feng!
