Chapter 23: The Wizard Black Kite
The blood on the ground mixed with the water, slowly spreading, and the air was filled with a heavy scent of blood.
But… but!
Feng Sa was sure he hadn’t seen wrong—the wound on that person’s head was slowly healing!
Although it was slow, and the healing was minimal, but!!
Could a human do this?!
“You… you…” Feng Sa stammered, staring at the young man in front of him, his eyes nearly popping out.
The young man broke free from his grip. His hat and mask concealed his face completely, making it impossible for Feng Sa to see him. What he had initially considered a typical criminal’s attire now seemed dashing and mysterious.
“It’s exactly what you saw.” The young man stepped back, his tone bordering on a cold sneer. “I am saving him!”
“You… you, are you a witch?” Feng Sa’s mind went blank. Was he dreaming?
“That has nothing to do with you. Forget what you saw today.” The young man’s aura turned dangerous, his voice icy. “Otherwise, you will regret it.”
“…Oh.” Feng Sa responded dryly, looking like a helpless schoolboy. “Sorry, Mr. Witch.”
The young man slowly backed away, turning to leave.
“Wait a moment!” Feng Sa suddenly called out again, taking a few quick steps to stand in front of the young man, his eyes sparkling. “Excuse me, Mr. Witch, do you know Lady Shanshan?”
“…” The young man’s cold demeanor intensified, almost impatiently. “Don’t call me Mr. Witch. Although ‘witch’ is a general term, when referring to an individual, please respectfully call me ‘wizard’!”
Feng Sa obediently nodded. “Mr. Wizard, do you know Lady Shanshan?”
Su Mu didn’t understand why he was so fixated on this question, but it was clear that if she didn’t answer, she wouldn’t be able to leave today.
“I know of her, but we are not acquainted.”
“Is that so…” Feng Sa felt a bit disappointed. He had an obsession with that white-haired witch, believing Shanshan was different—even among witches, she was unique.
However, having finally encountered a real witch in reality, Feng Sa was reluctant to let her go just like that.
“Mr. Wizard, may I know your name? I’m Feng Sa.” He flashed a bright smile, one so warm it was hard to refuse.
“…” Su Mu really didn’t want to engage with this guy anymore.
She lowered her hat, her raspy voice tinged with coldness. “I am Black Kite. Keep today’s secret, and as a reward, I will help you when you need it—don’t ask any more questions, young man. Staying away from me will do you no harm.”
With that, she brushed past Feng Sa like a gust of wind, leaving no trace behind, disappearing into the distance.
The eerie killing intent left Feng Sa stunned for a moment before he came to his senses.
He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, his heart racing, though he didn’t appear particularly afraid.
“Wizard Black Kite? Tsk, today’s trip was really worth it!” Feng Sa excitedly squatted down to check on the injured man’s condition.
“Still healing, huh… Although not out of danger, it’s still amazing…”
“What kind of magical potion did Black Kite use? Do all witches make this stuff?”
While examining the man, Feng Sa suddenly noticed a black flower beside him.
The flower had three petals, stained with fresh blood.
“Black iris?” Feng Sa paused. “Black Kite?”
He raised an eyebrow, wiped the blood off with his clothes, then carefully put the flower in his pocket.
After doing all this, Feng Sa continued to stare at the bloodied man’s head with a look of fascination and focus.
So, when the ambulance arrived, they found a young man squatting next to the hit-and-run victim, staring intently at the blood on his head with an expression that was disturbingly… excited.
“…” The paramedics.
Where did this weirdo come from?
Where’s the person who called?
Could something have happened to them?

Su Mu only realized after she got home that the black iris flower she had used to perform magic for the child was missing.
However, it wasn’t an important item, so she didn’t mind losing it.
The rescue points from saving that person were 10 points, and combined with the child’s, she had earned a total of 11 points from this eventful and nerve-wracking day.
At this rate, she would never collect the 10 million points needed in her lifetime.
Su Mu realized that collecting rescue points this way was meaningless.
She needed a better method or assistance from the later pages of the “Witch’s Code.”
Fortunately, this was a long-term task, so it could be set aside for now.
Su Mu took a shower, changed her clothes, and found another phone to log into Shanshan’s personal account.
Then… she reposted the video titled “C University Beauty and Roommates Attempt to Dr*wn Kitten.”
Almost the moment she reposted it, the video’s view count began to multiply rapidly.
What had originally been known to only a few nearby schools and a small part of society started to spread at an alarming rate, becoming known nationwide.
With a sharp glint in her eyes, Su Mu exited the page.
No matter how small or resolved a matter seemed, once it garnered the attention of a witch, it couldn’t be easily settled.
Moreover, the influence of Witch Shanshan was terrifyingly high. Her casual repost was likely to force the school’s administration to convene another meeting to discuss the severity of the punishment.
Let this be the end of the Meng Nian’s matter.
Actually, Su Mu knew that what she was doing was risky, but she had thought it through. It was unlikely that anyone would connect the girl in the video to Shanshan.
Moreover, it was not unreasonable for a witch to care about the black cat. While it might not be expected, it was at least beyond reproach.
Shanshan’s identity as a witch had already been accepted. As long as she didn’t do anything too extreme, the Bureau of Paranormal Investigation would have no reason to doubt her authenticity.
—So, let the witch’s identity do a small favor for her.
Of course, this was also a small test for the Bureau of Paranormal Investigation to see if they would react to such matters.
While Su Mu invited Shi Xing out for dinner, Witch Shanshan reposted a video, and this matter quickly spread across the internet.
At that moment, regardless of the video’s content, it was destined to attract everyone’s attention!
As a result, the story about C University’s beauty and her roommates attempting to dr*wn a cat was known to at least a million people. Outraged netizens immediately put pressure on the school.
The school’s administration felt a chill when they heard about Shanshan’s repost.
What was going on?
Why was the witch getting involved?
As for Meng Nian, she was staring at the video on Witch Shanshan’s personal page, her face pale and her palms bloody from clenching too hard.
How could this be?
What should she do?
Shanshan must be disgusted and murderous towards her for trying to harm the black cat, right?
But… but she didn’t do it on purpose!
It was all the fault of that unknown witch from that night!
…No matter what, it was too late now. What should she do?
