I walked out of the private room of the cafe.

With the small notebook given to me by Alice in my pocket, I walked along this somewhat winding street in the gradually sinking night.

The night gradually became dark, the skylight gradually dimmed, and the street lamps were lit. The dim lights illuminated the figures of pedestrians on the road, making them mottled and confusing.

"Ta, ta, ta."

I walked to that intersection again and walked to the [Alien Magic Shop].

The store was already a little weird, and the weird atmosphere was even worse at night. The candlelight lit up the store. After entering the store, I still saw strange things in the store, and the store was close to the side.

There was still a doll girl lying in the coffin at that position.

Slowly approaching, I continued to take a look at the doll girl.

She was lying quietly in the black coffin, with petals pillowed under her body. She had snow-white skin, long wavy golden hair, black and white Gothic lolita-style clothes, and crystal blue eyes with dull eyes.

Looking up at a 45-degree angle, holding a golden compass on his chest.

The compass was first introduced in China. It is a prop used in China to read Feng Shui. It is basically a disk with various mysterious patterns representing directions. Feng Shui masters can use it to predict the good and bad omens of this place.

Later, the compass was introduced to the West and was highly respected and particularly popular among Western churches. It was regarded as a magical thing that could judge time and space.

The compass held in the hands of the doll girl is golden. It is different from the traditional compass in ancient China. It is composed of a lot of Latin runes. I can't understand the pattern indicating the direction.

Such a beautiful doll girl, lying in a coffin covered with flower petals, holding such a compass, is indeed like a work of art. But somehow, after staring at the girl for a long time, I have an inexplicable feeling.

I felt a sense of vision, and a touch of desolation and sadness rushed into my chest...

"Kid, do you like this girl very much?"

When I stared at the doll girl, a kind and hoarse voice suddenly sounded from behind me.

"Well...."

I slowly turned my head to look at the source of the sound.

That's an old man.

He shouldn't be from the store. He is completely different from the old man who just told me and Alice not to interrupt the business.

He was wearing a large retro robe, his graying silver hair was neatly combed, he was wearing a shiny monocle, the fingers of his left hand were covered with gold and silver rings, and he was holding a very delicate steel disc in his right hand.

His figure is neither thin nor fat, just the right size. Although he looks very old, standing there gives people a feeling of good health and energy.

His eyes are very peculiar, kind, distant and deep, and there is a smile at the corner of his mouth, which makes people unable to see through.

"Kid, I see that you are particularly interested in this girl...why is this?"

The old man looked at me with kind eyes and asked again patiently.

"When I see this girl, I always feel like I have seen her before, and... when I stare into her eyes, I feel a sense of sadness..."

I said honestly to the old man. Somehow, even though it was my first time to meet him, I was willing to tell this old man my true thoughts.

"Oh...want to get to know her better?"

The old man asked me with a smile.

"Why?"

I was slightly startled.

Knowing him better, it seems that this old man knows some information about this doll girl.

I originally felt that this doll gave me a strange sad and familiar feeling, but after Alice saw her, it felt very strange.

I suddenly became interested...

"She has no name, but she has a title called [Nightmare Witch]. She controls the cycle of time and space through a compass."

The old man squinted his eyes and looked at the doll with affection and said.

Well.....

Nightmare witch, time and space reincarnation?

"It comes from a British legend. Hundreds of years ago, when Christianity was flourishing in Europe, witches also appeared. They had abilities that were different from ordinary people and would use their abilities to do evil... But

One day, the British witch was surrendered by a very powerful family."

The old man continued, and I listened to him attentively.

"Some people in this family are rumored to be the royal family at that time, and some are rumored to be nobles close to the royal family. In short, the witch has been working for this family since then, assassinating the people they want to assassinate on behalf of the family, and executing them, and the witch will

For a part of the reward, they would ask the nobles to capture the children, and they would take pleasure in killing and executing the children..."

The old man's voice continued to echo in my ears, and I didn't dare to miss any information.

Do witches...really exist? From what the old man said, the answer seems to be yes, but maybe they don't know magic.

Just understand some mysterious power that is close to magic, right?

"It is rumored that there are seven witches in total, and they are ranked according to the seven days designated by the Lord's Day——

【Monday】of 【Poison Kill】,

[Tuesday] of [Strangulation],

[Wednesday] of [Nail],

[Thursday] of [Fire Kill],

[Friday] of [Fantasy Kill],

These are the five regular [Execution Witches]. Of course, the strongest Execution Witch is [Saturday] of [Behead]..."

The old man introduced it to me with a smile, and I couldn't help but take a breath.

Poison killing, strangulation, nailing, fire killing, phantom killing, beheading?

This sounds very scary, these witches are definitely very cruel and terrifying.

but.....

"What about Sunday?"

After hearing this, I felt a little confused and asked.

"Sunday...Sunday is the [Nightmare Witch] who controls the compass and time and space."

The old man said this to me slowly, and looked at the doll girl with a somewhat intoxicated look.

Lying in a black coffin covered with flower petals, a girl with blond hair hanging down to her waist, holding a compass and looking up at something.

"So, old sir, in the legend...this [Nightmare Witch]...what role does she play in the witch? What is her ability?"

I asked the old man slowly with some confusion.

The old man glanced at the witch with his profound eyes, and then spoke in a somewhat fanatical voice——

"[Nightmare]'s [Sunday] has been having nightmares. She can't dream, but she can have nightmares about everyone else. This is her strength, but also her sadness..."

The old man said to me slowly, and his voice became increasingly weird.

"Children, according to the instructions of my compass: under the guidance of the Wheel of Fortune, you will encounter them again and again, but at any time you must remember that they are not real witches, they just need your attention and rescue.

It's just their children. As the chosen one, you have the obligation to rescue them——"

The old man's voice became quieter, dreamier, and hoarse, which made me dizzy and swollen, and I had no time to react.

Finally, before I knew what was going on, his voice stopped abruptly.

Have been having nightmares about Sunday?

A Sunday where you don’t have your own nightmares, but only other people’s nightmares?

And I will encounter them again and again, and I will rescue them...

"Old sir... what on earth is this?..."

I covered my swollen head and turned my head sideways. There were many things I hadn't asked this old gentleman about, and I couldn't help but want to ask him.

"Why?"

However.

His figure suddenly disappeared from the position beside me.

"Old sir!"

I was stunned for a moment and looked around the store, but there was no sign of him.

"despair--"

I suddenly stepped out of the store and came to this busy intersection.

But there was no trace of him anywhere.

He disappeared without knowing when.
