Witch trials

After coming out of the rendezvous, Tang Er hit helplessly looking at Mu Sicheng frantically stifling his laughter, Bai Liu calmly turned his head away from him, embarrassed and embarrassed: "...... Is it really that funny?"

"Okay." Bai Liu slapped Mu Sicheng on the head, "Stop laughing, get down to business."

Mu Sicheng was hit by Bai Liu and couldn't hold back his laughter, holding his stomach as he laughed with tears coming out, "You actually have an E cup! Hahahahaha!!!"

Tang Er typed: "......"

Bai Liu ："......"-- As the leader of a team, he ruthlessly held back no more laughter.

"Captain Tang's shoulders are wide at the back, so she can only wear this model, it has nothing to do with her chest size." Bai Liu calmly relieved Tang Er, whose face was on the verge of smoldering.

Mu Sicheng didn't stop there, he took advantage of the other guy's surprise and suddenly pulled open Tang Er's collar to look inside, and then righteously pointed at Tang Er and said to Bai Liu: "But he didn't have an empty glass! It's almost full!"

Tang Er typed: "......"

Bai Liu: "......" You know Mu Sicheng.

And you can let Tang Er fight, he's an honest man, he can't take it anymore.

"Go find Mu Ke." Bai Liu quickly changed the subject, "He should be over there."

Soon Mu Ke joined them, and I must say that Mu Ke was the one who looked the least out of place in the women's costume, wearing a very simple top and skirt, and with short hair, he looked very clean-cut.

"Have you looked for Jiayi?" Mu Ke's expression was grave, "If players can also have Witch's Hearts on their bodies, then this game is most likely a tower defense game, there is a person on both teams who has a Witch's Heart, and we have to compete with each other for the other team's Witch's Hearts, and our team's Witch's Hearts are most likely on Jiayi's body."

--He made the same judgment as Bai Liu.

"Jiayi's login point shouldn't be here." Bai Liu's tone was light, "She's too young to meet the group's criteria for screening reserve witches."

"And where would she be?" Mu Ke frowned.

Bai Liu looked up, he smiled, "If I'm not mistaken, the game should have Jiayi land in the Witch Zone."

"Because she's already a witch."

Mu Ke was stunned, then quickly responded, "Jiayi is in the Eastern Contamination Zone!"

Eastern Contaminated Area.

Liu Jiayi's eyelids fluttered, and just as she tried to open her eyes, she realized that there were many people around her looking at her closely, and then she held still:

"She's finally awake!"

"Who put her in the contaminated area?"

"Is she a child contaminated by eels? My God, she's so young! Didn't those cruel clerical men make a rule that no girl under fourteen should be allowed to swallow an eel!"

"And you believe in the rules they make? Just a bunch of animals!"

There was an authoritative yet gentle female voice that came over, "Bring her here, carry her over here to the doctor to see what's going on."

Liu Jiayi felt herself being gently picked up as a person, presumably a doctor, did some checking on her and then with a long sigh of relief reported back to the lady with the authoritative voice, "Baola, she's fine, she's just passed out and there's no visible signs of contamination on her body."

The woman named Baola paused, "Not tainted as a witch, then wait for her to wake up, and if she doesn't want to stay and wants to go back, then send her away."

As soon as the words were uttered, the whole room was silent for an instant, and then everyone said very low and softly, as if a little despondently, "Yes."

A young female voice retorted indignantly, and a little aggressively, "Baola, why would you send her back? Is it any good there!"

"She was all but abandoned from there, and sent back; is she to be allowed to grow up there till she is fourteen, and then be reduced to an eel-digesting machine for those men of the Church!"

"Can't we just let her stay right here and be raised by us as a witch?"

Baola's voice was calm, "Not every girl wants to be a witch, You Zhen."

These words were like a spark that directly ignited You Zhen, who was in the middle of her anger, and she yelled with indignation and rage, "What's wrong with becoming a witch? Why can't you become a witch? Are witches something lowly? Every single one of us here is a witch!"

"Why yearn for that filthy safe zone and why loathe being a witch when you're oppressed like that?!"

"And did you become a witch by choice?" Baola's voice was still as soft as water, "Did any of us here become witches by choice?"

You Zhen's voice came to a screeching halt, then she slowly sobbed and cried, "...... No."

-There isn't a single girl here who wouldn't have run away to become a witch here in the contaminated area if she hadn't been pushed to the end of her rope, pushed to the end of her rope.

Baola did, and so did she. They were both forced to become witches.

"We were all forced to become witches by the Church." Baola says, "So I hope that at least here, when a child chooses her own life, we won't force her to become a witch."

"- I want to give them the freedom to choose for themselves what they want to be."

"Whether she chooses to be a witch or not."

"Let a child choose for herself ......" You Zhen slowly knelt down, her face full of tears, and asked in a bit of a trance, "Will there really be a child who will choose the witches, who will aspire to be a witch, who will aspire to be one of us who are tainted and have no more monsters who have no way to return to the safe zone?"

"How can they grow up in a safe zone and want to be the filthy witches we are judged to be? They would only aspire to be holy nuns in the Church, controlled by those men! Instead of letting them go back, wrongly induced to become nuns, we should force them to become witches and become our fighting force!"

You Zhen's voice became lower and lower, more and more full of hatred.

"You Zhen." Baola said softly, "What is the first rule of our witch code, what is it?"

You Zhen's voice paused again as she took a deep breath and let it out slowly and shakily:

"Witch Code #1: A witch never judges a witch."

"-whether she is already a witch, or a witch-in-waiting."

"With the whole world contaminated, and as long as the contamination isn't addressed, any girl in the Safe Zone could end up becoming a witch, and whether she aspires to be a nun or not, they are categorized as pre-witches in our eyes." Baola said softly, "There are no inquisitions in the Witch Zone, and we will never judge witches."

"You Zhen, witch code number two, what is it?" Baola asks again, softly.

You Zhen closed her eyes, her voice gradually calming down, "Witch code number two: anyone who persecutes me dies by my hand."

"What we want to kill, to hate, is the one who is persecuting us at this very moment, hatred and the desire to kill are precious emotions, we can't let it spread, it would only make it unsharp."

Baola stepped down and she patted You Zhen on the shoulder, her tone subdued, "Witches are not unworthy of aspiration."

"Witches are our weapons."

"In a chaotic environment, powerful weapons are both desirable and feared, and the kids in the safe zone yearn for the nuns because they're afraid they won't be able to hold the weapon and that it will cut them."

"-because the men of the Church will teach them from childhood, according to the doctrine, that you should not hold a weapon, and that you who hold a weapon are a sin, and that we will punish you severely until you lay down your weapons, and that those of you who get them will lose badly, and that only those of you who lay down their weapons will gain more."

You Zhen's eyes filled with tears again as she choked back a sob and inquired, "And what should we, what should we do to make them aspire to witches and choose them?"

Baola laughed, "Holding the weapon for them, of course."

"Let them see how powerful, how sharp, how invincible we are when we hold our weapons, totally unstoppable and incomparable to the people of the Church."

Liu Jiayi finally opens her eyes and sees Baola in the sunlight.

This woman is wearing a witch's robe, which is paired with a very capable knight's outfit, carrying a cowhide bow and arrow pouch on her back, wearing a bunch of feathered arrows inside, she seems to be a hybrid, with violet eyes, darker outlines, and large bones, so she is also a huge amount taller than You Zhen next to her, and she is wearing a high witch's pointy hat on her head askew, feeling like it's going to fall off at any moment, and it's already She wears a tall, crooked witch's peaked cap on her head that feels like it's about to fall off at any moment, and it's nearly tilted to the back of her head-which makes the image of her solemnly patting You Zhen on the shoulder and teaching her look a little funny.

You Zhen somewhat helplessly, and with some amusement, raised her hand to signal her, "Baola, the hat, the hat is coming off."

Baola paused, blushed a little, and then fiddled a little, complaining in a distressed voice as she put it on, "Eh, this witch's hat, it's really a little hard to put on... why do witches have to wear this?"

"Baola!" the doctor called out to her in surprise, "this baby is awake!"

Baola snapped her head over - this time the witch's hat was completely askew to her back - and her eyes lit up, "Awake?"

Liu Jiayi then watched as the seemingly somewhat mawkish head witch quickly and pretentiously straightened herself up again, and with a calm and elegant face, walked up to her and extended her hand to her with a smile:

"Hello, I'm Baola, head of the Witch Zone."

"Welcome to the Witch Zone."

Looking closer, Liu Jiayi had to say that the witch in charge was amazingly beautiful, she looked to be in her thirties, but more impressive than her beauty was the compatibility, calmness and composure that she had, like nothing could bring her down.

She seemed to have a very strong sense of stability that was intimidating.

--A natural leader.

Liu Jiayi quickly made a definition in her mind, and instead of putting on that soft face to deceive the other party, she very properly extended her hand and shook Baola's hand, "Hello."

Baola smiled, "Do you want to go back?"

--She didn't ask how Liu Jiayi got here, but just threw out the question, do you want to go back?

Liu Jiayi tsked inwardly with an exclamation - smart question.

Just listening to that cut, she thought that this Baola was really a very righteous type, but now it seems that it's not all.

Regardless of where Liu Jiayi came from, the fact that she came to the Witch Zone means that she was most likely abandoned, in which case, no matter how much she yearns for the Safe Zone, and Baola asks you directly if you want to go back, she's only going to have one answer - and that is no.

Because a normal little girl, at this point, would be afraid - the fear that comes with this state of stress is going to override the fear of the witch.

"But this side of the Witch District only houses witches." Baola inquired gently, "You're staying here, so would you like to become a witch?"

"-A witch like me."

Everyone looked at Liu Jiayi with anticipation, waiting for her answer.

"No." Liu Jiayi replied.

Everyone's eyes dimmed for a moment, and even Baola couldn't help but sigh--Is it really still no good? The Church's brainwashing is too successful.

"I don't have to be a witch." Liu Jiayi smiled a little mischievously as she looked up, "Because I'm already a witch."

Baola was stunned, and before she could react, the witches around her had all cheered.

You Zhen picked Liu Jiayi straight down and hugged her so hard she was so happy she was on the verge of tears:

"As soon as I saw you I thought it was a good match! I knew you'd pick the witch!"

"Baola!" a person in a witch's costume rushed in hurriedly, an anxious look on her face, "The Church is sending people to attack the borderline of the eastern contaminated area! Many of the witches over there are newborns and are still vulnerable!"

Baola's lips, which had arched a little, quickly pursed straight as she turned her head and calmly ordered, "We're going over for backup now."

"But there's also the mission of raiding the trial courts today." This witch anxiously reported, "Today the 82 Inquisition Courts in the Safety Zone are going to hold 352 Witch Trials, and our original plan was to go and rob the Courts!"

"If Baola you guys go galloping down the sidelines, we won't have enough men to rob all the courts today!"

"Once convicted in court as witches, these girls will be burned alive in court!"

Baola's hand clenched instantly, her face became sullen for a moment but quickly calmed down, "Split into two teams, I'll take a small force of witches to gallop to the borderline, the rest of you go and rob the court."

"It won't work Baola!" the reporting witch was also anxious, "The Order has used heavy firepower on the borderline, they're besieging! It's dangerous for you to go there with a small army!"

"I'm better than them, I'll be fine." Baola tapped the shoulder of the witch who had come to report, her tone calm and collected, "Move."

"Wait." Liu Jiayi slowly raised her hand as she smiled, "Can I come with you to the galloping sideline?"

You Zhen, who was holding her, immediately interrupted with a shriek, "What foolishness are you talking about! You're not even contaminated enough to have the power to fight the Order ......"

"Zi-!!!"

Liu Jiayi pulls out a can of poison, lightly tosses it up and over, and sprays it into the clearing.

Large asphalt-like corrosion marks appeared on the ground, and the originally sturdy ground completely melted away.

You Zhen was dumbfounded and closed his mouth.

Baola gave Jiayi a fixed look, then curved her eyes and smiled as she held out her hand, her tone becoming considerably more solemn, "Officially, I welcome you to the Witch Quarter."

"Follow me!"

Liu Jiayi jumped out of You Zhen's arms, she trotted to follow, You Zhen looked at his empty arms in a bit of a trance, and couldn't help but swallow a bit, dumbfounded:

"Are all freshman witches so powerful now?"

"Whatever!" A witch next to her was excited, slapping You Zhen hard on the back, "It's good for us!"

"Go, go rob the court!"

"Not just robbing the court, there's a lot of workload today." You Zhen sighed helplessly, but she was wearing a smile on her face, "Today, the Holy See has brought in another batch of reserve witches over, and we have to go over to rob the warehouse."

Meanwhile, prep the witch picking warehouse.

Bai Liu and three others received three messages from Liu Jiayi.

[Auxiliary robbing the court.]

[Don't lie to the witch, surrender.]

[Tactician privileges given to me.]

Mu Sicheng was full of questions and asked Bai Liu, "Jiayi, what does this mean?"

Bai Liu calmly glanced at the two messages and looked up to all of them, "You all know that Jiayi has been our team's other tactician, right? Her judgment is on par with mine, and when I die or lose my judgment in the game, she will take over my tactician privileges and become your tactician."

--This Bai Liu had told them many times, and everyone nodded a little.

"But there's another situation where she's also our tactician - and that's when she judges that this copy of her tactical ability takes precedence over mine, and when she's more of a tactician, I'll give her tactician privileges directly."

"In this copy, even though I didn't die and lose my judgment, my judgment and ability to acquire information is already far inferior to hers." Bai Liu looked to everyone in a calm tone, "She is the one who is fit to formulate tactics in this game, so I have decided to transfer the position of tactician in this copy to her."

"Next, Jiayi is our tactician, and I'm just a team member in the control position, obeying her orders, is that clear?"

Everyone was quiet for a moment, then quickly, "Yes!"

[System prompt: Is player Bai Liu handing over his Tactician privileges to player Liu Jiayi?

Once the transfer is successful, the Tactician privilege will never be transferred to you again in this game, please consider carefully!

[OK.]

Ornamental Pool.

When they saw the tactician's logo on Bai Liu's head disappear and then appear on Liu Jiayi's head, the whole room was in an uproar, and the audience whispered about it:

"What the hell is this? Letting a little girl take tactician privileges?"

"Is Bai Liu crazy? This is bound to lose!"

"Fuck, it's a good thing I didn't bet on him! Otherwise I would have lost money!"

"Tsk, playing house, go go go, don't watch, wait for the playoffs, surely King's Crown is in the playoffs."

The host also exclaimed, "Oh my God, what do I see?!"

"I have to say that the tactician, oh, not tactician anymore, captain of the Wandering Circus is really quite a mess!"

"In all the time I've been officiating, this is the first time I've seen a sudden in-game transfer of tactician privileges, and doesn't he understand how damaging this sudden tactician switch can be to the team?"

The host tsked twice, "It seems that the opportunity to drill holes to come to the Challenge was too well earned to be cherished by our circus captain, and it just went to waste."

"For the little witch? Haha, all I can say is very thoughtful, this is probably the youngest tactician within the league as of now, right?"

Wang Shun, who was sitting on the bench, had to say he was really scared out of his wits when he saw Bai Liu handing over the tactician's authority without hesitation.

While Bai Liu is right that Liu Jiayi is tactically capable - she was trained by Heart as the heir apparent, the next generation of tacticians, during her time in the King's Crown - it can indeed be said that she is excellent to the point of being staggeringly good.

But this is Liu Jiayi's first time on a league field! She's completely new to the league, let alone being a tactician! She's also playing against Heart, who trained her tactical style!

The chances of winning this are too low any way you look at it!

This was still their last chance at the Challenge! If they lose, they're really screwed! Bai Liu just gave away his tactician privileges! This is the most important position in a match! It's the most important position in a match!

As soon as Liu Jiayi asked for it, Bai Liu gave the permission out without even giving it a second thought, and he had too much guts!

Wang Shun looked at the support rate and betting rate on the system panel that was continuously going down, his heart clenched, he even used a towel to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, took two deep breaths, barely calmed his emotions down, before he dared to continue to raise his head to look at the game screen on the big screen.

He was now completely incapable of thinking about where this game was going to go.

I'm sure any other spectator wouldn't be able to think or guess where this match was going.

--Because no one understands, the little witch's tactical style.

This is her first time serving as a tactician in the league.

Wang Shun looked at Liu Jiayi in the game screen, his hand slowly clenched into a fist.

Come on little witch.

The game is played on the eastern contaminated area sideline.

The Vatican men held a variety of weapons in their hands, and the one at the head stood on the armored car, hissing at the top of his voice as he held up the microphone, "Everyone must pay attention! Witches are such things! It's like the Seven Star Eel, when they're particularly alienated, swords, guns, water and fire are inferior!"

"They possess some of the traits of the Seven Star Eels, and some of them have mutated with evil abilities!"

"However, they are ultimately human transformations! Although they possess some of the Seven Star Eel's qualities and various superpowers, there are nevertheless areas in their bodies that are just as fragile as a human's! As long as we keep attacking! They will also bleed and be injured, and then one day they will perish!"

"Attack!"

With a command, the borderline was dipped into intense artillery fire, and someone stepped forward to ask worriedly of the bishop who stood at the top holding his binoculars up and looking into the distance, commanding all the men, "My Lord Bishop, as you said, the witches are very powerful, and our weapons may not always be able to kill them."

"No, our weapons will definitely be able to kill them." An evil grin appeared on the bishop's face, "Because these weapons, are forged from the bones of the Seven Star Eel."

The man asked back in surprise, "A weapon forged from the bones of a Seven Star Eel?!"

"There's no harm in telling you." This bishop waved his hand carelessly, "We've been preparing this program for over ten years, and it's about to go into mass production."

"The bones of the Seven Star Eel are very strong raw materials for weapons, and all the bones left over after being dissolved by all the women in the Seven Star Eel over the years have been collected by us and used to forge weapons."

"It was one of those weapons that was used to attack the Witch District this time."

The bishop looked across the eastern contaminated area sorrowfully, his expression one of unconcealed smugness:

"No matter how strong they are, at the very top, they're still at the tier of a seven-star eel, after all, they have their abilities bestowed upon them, but they're definitely not strong enough to be able to dissolve a seven-star eel's bones - that's the hardest part of a seven-star eel's body, and even witches can't dissolve it."

"All Baola ......" The man mentioned the name with care and awe, "She's so tough, she broke through our defenses a few times and blew up so many Inquisitorial chambers, and she has no way to fight this weapon? "

"There is no way around it." The Bishop looked up haughtily at the full Baola coming out of the contaminated area with a strange light in his eyes, "As long as it's a witch, there's no way it can stand up to this weapon."

"- All Baola is no exception."

The moment Quan Baola stepped out from amongst the line of battle in the contaminated area, the Bishop raised his hand to stop the attack, he looked away from Quan Baola, his tone changed from the sinister one he had just had to one of compassion, he folded his hands in front of him and made a gesture of prayer:

"Baola, in consideration of the fact that you were once our saintly daughter, and in consideration of the fact that all witches have contributed to us, God is generous and merciful, and he has instructed me to give you, and all witches, one last chance-"

"-that is, you choose to submit to us, and we will judge all of you in the gentlest way possible."

All Baola's purple eyes were icy cold as she asked rhetorically, "Like fire?"

"Though this is not gentle." The Bishop stated gently, "But if you wish, we will judge you the way you like."

All Baola barely paused to draw a bow and arrow to the back, hitched it to the bowstring, drew it full and then aimed it at this bishop, her eyes fixed on this bishop, but the words were not addressed to this bishop:

"The third rule of the witch code--"

The Bishop looked at Quan Baola, who had aimed his bow and arrow at him, and his eyes instantly went cold, "It seems that you will not submit."

"It may take until the moment of your death for you to realize that witches can never defeat the Order - all you've been doing is nothing."

As he spoke, the bishop raised his hand, and behind him slowly rose countless huge longbows, which were densely lined with a whole row of small, sharp arrows forged from the bones of seven-star eels.

"It's still a bit rough, though." The bishop grinned sinisterly, "But it's enough to kill the monsters you eel-swallowing fish have grown into!"

At the same moment, behind Quan Baola were all the witches with their bows drawn, their eyes sharp and unstoppable, repeating Quan Baola's words in unison, as if solemnly declaring some trumpet of war:

"The third rule of the witch code--"

"And whatsoever judgeth me that hath not hitherto been able to make me perish--"

"--will be weaker than me!"

Both parties released their bows at the same time.

The sky was full of bows and arrows staggering in the air, the witches dodged sensitively, constantly up-bowed and then shot again, but the opposing party's extended line of stationary fire couldn't do any damage to them - they possessed very tough outer skins, and the bullets couldn't get through.

But the bishop's side was rapidly taking a large number of casualties under the fire of these witches, whose strength, accuracy, and speed of movement were strangely unparalleled.

The Bishop's gaze grew more and more somber as he suddenly grabbed an archer next to him by the collar and snarled as he pointed across the room at Quan Baola, who stood at the top, and yelled, "Aim for Quan Baola!"

"All of you, aim for the full Baola! As soon as she's dead, this rabble falls apart!"

All the bows and arrows gathered instantly, aiming in unison at All Baola.

Bone arrows were intensively fired over, Quan Baola was shot in the right shoulder, her right shoulder instantly exploded in a spray of blood, the bow in her hand was unsteady and was shaken away.

Several of the witches around her had their pupils constricted and cried out in unison:

"Baola!"

"What is this thing! Why can it penetrate our protection!"

"Don't mind me." All Baola gasped for a moment as she drew the bone arrow with one hand, her violet eyes calm and collected, "It's a good thing this weapon focuses me, it won't extend the damage, make it quick."

"Baola!!!" A witch's voice next to her was even a little mournful, "Look out!!!"

Another wave of white seven-star eel bone arrows aimed at the full Baola.

All Baola Lifting her shot through shoulder, blood staining her cheeks, she moved crisply to draw all the bows and arrows from her back arrow pouch, her violet eyes brightening alarmingly as she stared at these incoming bows and arrows, "Sorcery - Ten Thousand Arrows!"

The arrows flared in her hand in an instant into a million flashes of purple light, and without hesitation the full Baola drew full and then released.

Purple light arrows flew out, and all the Seven Star Eel Bone Arrows were intercepted and collided point-to-point in the air by the bows and arrows of All Baola, and fell to the ground.

But the bishop over there snatched up a single arrow almost in a rage and aimed it at the heart of the full Baola: "Go to hell!"

Quan Baola's arrow was already empty, the arrow came so suddenly that it reached Quan Baola's face almost in the blink of an eye.

Without hesitation, a witch next to her ran forward and hugged Quan Baola, her spine trembling as she stood in front of Quan Baola.

She was waiting for the bone arrow from the Order to shoot into her heart and execute her like a judgment.

A black poisonous mist rose up to the sky and blocked the front of Quan Baola, the arrow was corroded the moment it was shot in.

The swampy mud spread out beneath the feet of the clerical group, and someone was horrified to be corrupted, letting out a guttural scream, but soon the organs he could have used to let out the scream were corrupted as well.

The Bishop practically shit himself as he climbed down from the foremost chariot, stomping back in horror as he looked at the corroded seven-star eel-bone forged weapons in the spreading swamp on the ground and screamed in broken tones, "What the hell is this thing!"

"It can actually corrode even the Seven Star Eel Bone!"

The poisonous mist disperses, Liu Jiayi's frowning face stands in front of all Baola, she looks at these routed Clerical men first raising her eyebrows in displeasure, then suddenly smiling sweetly:

"A simple little witch's poison is all."

"Dumbasses."

The bishop looked at Liu Jiayi who suddenly appeared as if he had seen something incredible : "Who are you? Where are you the filthy witch who defected from?"

"Defection?" Liu Jiayi tsked, the sweet smile on her face disappearing for a second as she said unhappily, "I don't like that description."

Quan Baola stood up bracing herself against Liu Jiayi's shoulder, she smiled and slowly drew her bow and arrow, aiming the tip at the head of the bishop who kept shaking his head in horror, the smirk on her face became subdued as she said without skipping a beat, "I don't like that description either."

"She's not a filthy witch who defected."

"She's a precious witch we found by chance."

All Baola's eyes blazed as she let go of the arrow, the wind from the arrow rushing out swirling her long hair.

She shot an arrow through the bishop's head.
