I Might As Well Quit This Lousy Wizard Profession

Chapter 44: An, open the door quickly! Chapter 44: An, open the door quickly! “What have you done to me!” Chen Shuyun’s eyes widened, her mouth agape in disbelief as she stared at the man in front of her, both familiar and strange, dumbstruck as though turned to wood.

“You really are a Seal Master!” Her face displayed a look of ‘utter terror,’ “Such a fearsome Sealing Skill!”

——”Yes, he is a Seal Master!”

——”A complete fraud, sealing your sister, and now he wants to seal you too!”

——”Quickly break free from your sister’s suppressive witchcraft; you know you can do it, even if it means becoming a Sorcerer Zombie!”

——”Then, kill him, kill him, kill him!”

The White Snake continually influenced Chen Shuyun’s emotions, as the Dark Gold Statue once again raised its hand, clasping the large blade, making Lin An furrow his brows.

He frantically drew upon the spirituality within his body to aid himself.

Spirituality supported his brain’s frantic operation, performing overclocked feats.

Spirituality assisted the ‘Eye of Spirituality,’ allowing him to better observe and touch spirituality.

Spirituality supported the ‘Sky-Scanning Eyes’ innate witchcraft, observing every detail without a dead angle.

Spirituality supported the Breathing Skill, making the charm of the ‘Black Cat Portrait’ in the unseen world more agile, in sync with the ‘Spirit Cat Body Stretching Skill,’ entering the rhythm of the ‘Deer Play Breathing Technique.’

Lin An pulled out all the stops!

Without holding anything back.

He swiftly noticed too much information.

The enhanced ‘Eye of Spirituality’ saw spirituality more clearly. He could see that the Dark Gold Statue’s soft and warm skin wasn’t smooth, but covered in countless fine lines similar to snake scales, somewhat resembling the scales of Chen Shuyun’s White Snake spirituality.

The enhanced ‘Sky-Scanning Eyes’ with all-encompassing gaze saw that the red strings wrapped around Chen Shuyun’s Dark Gold Statue, if viewed from a three-dimensional perspective turned into a plane, seemed to be a spider web covering the other.

The enhanced brain keenly sensed an opportunity!

This method of binding was unscientific!

It couldn’t possibly hold tight!

His brain rapidly recalled a video from a teacher he’d seen in the past, presenting countless details that allowed Lin An’s frenetically operating brain to analyze which binding methods could most effectively restrict the statue’s movements.

In an instant, he had a very clear optimization plan in mind.

“Let me adjust this for you…”

He licked his lips, and his entire being seemed to transform into a black Spirit Cat, deftly climbing atop the towering Dark Gold Statue, extending his powerful claws to tug at the ropes, adjusting them to where they should be.

Immersed in the rhythm of the Black Cat, deeply touching the Spiritual Statue, only then could he truly intuitively feel the state of the statue itself.

The savage roars and struggles, like a starving tiger bound and struggling, were especially frightening.

But the ropes cut deeply into the skin, dark golden blood flowing, eliciting a piercing howl.

Pain, it looked especially painful.

Being bound and deprived of its freedom, it appeared to be in extreme agony, and the rough binding method only added to its pain.

And the videos of those teachers in Lin An’s mind clearly told him, no, this was not the way to bind. It should be about ‘binding without harming’, leaving room for the blood and qi to circulate while still preventing any chance of escape.

However, Chen Shuyun was obviously not as cooperative as those teachers in the videos. She seemed to be merging with the dark gold statue gradually, and as she struggled to rise from the ground, the statue also began to stand up from its kneeling position.

The red rope was suddenly stretched tight, pulled to its limit, and terrible wounds burst open on the statue’s legs, oozing blood.

The blood sprayed, touching Lin An’s black cat and bringing with it a terrible, stinging agony that made him scream and fall onto the rugged, stony ground. The dark gold blood that had previously flowed there had accumulated into a pool of blood. Falling into it, Lin An felt like his entire body was being pierced with pain.

Pain!

It was too painful!

The black cat flipped over and crawled out of the blood pool, only to be pushed back into it by the wobbling dark gold statue that was attempting to stand.

The immense strength of the statue was terrifying.

And the pain from the dark gold blood was so intense that it sapped his strength.

No!

He had to think of something!

Lin An’s eyes grew calmer, but his face showed an angry expression as he coldly stared at Chen Shuyun, “Without my consent, you turned me into a wizard, making me a pitiful target for the Witch-hunting Knights to chase. I should hate you. But I don’t, just like you said, no one had a choice.”

“I understand.”

“A blessing in disguise, I get that. Witchcraft is indeed magical and desirable.”

“But now you’ve burst into my home for no reason, speaking of how I sealed your sister and are trying to steal the work I created painstakingly…”

“Haha, no wonder you said wizards are an unjust existence!”

“So this is how all of you act!”

Chen Shuyun was completely dumbfounded.

She stood shakily, mumbling, “That’s not it, there is such a thing as right and wrong, I’m not a bad person, I… I…”

This was the moment!

As Chen Shuyun’s focus faltered and she detached from the statue, the dark gold statue suddenly froze, raising its head to howl mournfully, shaking with pain all over.

It no longer paid any attention to the black cat in the pool of blood below.

The black cat that Lin An had transformed into flipped over and leaped up. Assisted by ‘Eye of Spirituality’ and ‘Sky-Scanning Eyes’, his eyes rapidly observed the surroundings and his brain worked frantically, suddenly realizing this was an opportunity.

The red rope seemed much easier to adjust as the dark gold statue had stretched it so much.

With the agility of the black cat, he swiftly leaped across the statue’s body, the red rope gripped in his mouth, his four paws hooking the rope, and even his tail coming into play.

He quickly recalled those videos he had watched in the past, some of which taught how to tie knots without needing the ends of the rope.

His tail swung forcefully!

This set off a chain of movements along his spine.

The spine, in turn, drove the surrounding tendons, muscles, and skin to move in unison, with the force extending all the way to the limbs.

Swiftly weaving through the middle of the rope, she leapt fiercely!

Thud!

But in an instant, Chen Shuyun crashed back down to her knees, her kneecaps striking the floor with a loud noise.

“I… What’s wrong with me!” Chen Shuyun looked down at her legs, her eyes widening in shock as she turned to Lin An, “No, no, that’s not right, your words were just to distract me, so you could cast your Sealing Skill!”

Lin An tugged at the corner of his mouth, his expression one of astonishment, “You kneel before me as if asking for something, while at the same time you spit out such incomprehensible harsh words, have you gone mad?”

Chen Shuyun was utterly confused!

She really was about to lose her mind, what on earth was happening!

Looking at Lin An’s expression, it seemed like he truly wasn’t lying!

Ahhhh~~~

What in the world was going on!

Chen Shuyun, ready to unleash witchcraft with her right hand raised at any moment, was increasingly confused by the dark gold statue in the room, which, while projecting an overwhelming sense of spatial disorder, had also raised a large knife.

Lin An was also feeling the confusion.

He was looking directly at Chen Shuyun before him, yet his vision encompassed everything in the room. He could feel himself standing in place, but also felt as if he had transformed into an agile black cat busily working on the statue.

This sense of confusion sometimes made him slip and fall into a slick, soft abyss as he scrambled onto the shoulder of the statue, seriously impacting his operation.

He was struggling.

Chen Shuyun was struggling, too.

For some unknown reason, she abruptly stopped casting witchcraft, clasped her raised arm across her chest, and let out a muffled, suffocating cry as if in pain, her eyes welling up with tears as if she was in unbearable distress.

Finally, the plan was a success!

Lin An, in the form of the Spirit Cat, scurried around, tugged at the last knot, wriggling in and out of the gaps between the ropes, and leapt out from the complex web of rope.

With a strong pull!

Instantly, the red cords that bound the dark gold statue slid along this knot, transforming from a spiderweb configuration into the most efficient form of bondage.

But this associated movement caused each rope to lash fiercely over the wounds that were originally embedded in the skin of the statue, causing the whole dark gold statue to emit a piercing howl and tremble violently.

“Ahh~~~”

Chen Shuyun let out a sharp cry of pain.

“Ahh~~~”

The dark gold statue wailed pitifully.

Boom~

The thunderstorm outside the window raged, with thunderous roars and pelting rain.

Thud~

Lin An felt as though a powerful gust of wind had surged his way, completely overturning him, and he was thrown out head over heels, first striking the edge of the swinging open door, then hitting the closing door, before forcefully smashing into it.

He struggled to twist his spine to adjust the direction of his body, dissipating the force with a sort of black cat’s instinct against the door.

Before the window, Chen Shuyun struggled to turn her head towards the ‘Black Cat Portrait’ on the curtain, “Sis…”

Crack~

She fainted.

“…”

Lin An pursed his lips, looking down at the section of the red rope that was wrapped around his arm. In the last moment, he could clearly see that the dark gold statue had been thoroughly tied up, but its right arm seemed to possess a strong force from releasing witchcraft, ripping apart.

He didn’t know whether this was a success or a failure.

To say it was a success, he had indeed adjusted the angle of the bondage, making everything more scientifically rational — the dark gold statue, which previously could not escape, would have an even harder time now.

But to say it was a failure, he seemed to have torn off a section of the rope binding the right hand of the dark gold statue, seemingly…

What impact would that have?

He didn’t know.

The most sensible course of action now seemed to be ‘to kick someone when they are down,’ either to get a kitchen knife or to summon the Witch Hunter Knights?

“…”

Lin An frowned as he glanced at Chen Shuyun, then gently pulled a chair over to walk by her, placing it beside the window to stand on it and take down the curtain painted with the black cat.

Having finished painting the ‘Black Cat Portrait,’ he really didn’t need it anymore. If he had known it would cause all this trouble, he should have burned it right away.

He silently folded the curtain neatly and packed it into a sealed plastic bag.

After doing this, Lin An’s gaze drifted over the unconscious Chen Shuyun lying on the floor, crossed hills and valleys, and finally came to rest on her slender neck.

Her neck was so slim and tender it looked as if it could be easily broken with a gentle twist.

He swallowed hard, feeling an uncontrollable blaze of wild fire burning in his heart.

The storm outside grew fiercer, and the continuous flashes of lightning almost never ceased, casting intermittent light on Lin An’s face.

The howling wind, mixed with the sudden downpour, beat mercilessly against the window, creating thumping sounds like the increasingly excited beating of his heart.

Inside the house, however, it became quieter.

Just then, the doorbell suddenly rang at the entrance.

Ding-dong-ding-dong~~~

“An, An, are you home? Open the door quickly!”

“It’s me, Lu Dexian!”

“!!!”
