Chapter 526: Witch trials

At the same time, prepare the Witch Picking Warehouse.

Bai Liu and their hidden in the crowd, Mu Sicheng alertly look around, and then whispered in Bai Liu's ear, "But I still do not know what Jiayi that three messages mean, you explain it to me."

"No need to explain." Bai Liu eyed the dozen or so women in the crowd who slowly poked their hands into the edges of their skirts, obviously reaching for their weapons, raised an eyebrow slightly, and smiled, "You'll see what that means in a minute."

The container they were in did have a witch in it, no wonder there was that side quest.

Mu Ke was instantly alert, he looked around and said very softly, "There are witches, aren't there?"

"Right." Bai Liu's tone was calm, but there was a hidden smile on his face, "It seems that this Preparatory Witch Sorting Ceremony won't go as smoothly as those people in the Church had expected."

Almost immediately after Bai Liu's words, a girl about three meters in front of him ran her hand through the ring of her right leg, where a pistol seemed to be hidden, and wore a very small red stud in her right ear, staring at the video of the whole Baola on the big screen, her breath coming in short gasps, her chest rising and falling.

She was waiting with bated breath, and despite her overwhelming anger, she was still waiting with bated breath - waiting for an order to attack.

The red stud in her right ear flashed-it seemed to signal some kind of attack-and without hesitation she raised her arm and drew her pistol from the inside of the leg-ring of her long skirt, and then raised her head and aimed it at the bleachers.

The girl's gaze held an indescribable hatred and determination, and she raised her hand and aimed a shot at the projector that was showing a video of the entire Baola teaching, almost hissing in rage, "How dare you show the video of the Baola trial!"

"You don't even deserve to see more of her!"

The trigger is pulled, the bullet is fired, the projector instantly bursts into sparks, the entire Baola's projection on the big screen disappears for a split second, and the entire warehouse is briefly silent for a split second before everyone starts to crouch down with their heads in their hands, shrieking in horror.

Bai Liu quickly pulled the still unresponsive Mu Sicheng into a crouch, and he held his head very respectfully, pretending to be an ordinary civilian.

Tang Er hit and Mu Ke also quickly followed and crouched down.

The dozen or so witches in the crowd moved quickly as they drew their guns and began to strafe the ecclesiastical security guards on either side of them.

Quan Zhendong, panicked in the stands and hiding behind his clerical escort, yelled, "Change to the witch's special seven-star eel bone bomb!"

"Catch these wicked witches!"

The ecclesiastical guards changed weapons instantly, their eyes fierce as they angled across a strip and replaced it with a rapid-fire gun, loading the loaded strip and aiming it at the witches.

Bullets erupted instantly, and these clerical escorts fired not at the witches at all, but simply loaded their guns and swept them indiscriminately across the field-which meant that they would hit the innocent reserve witches as well.

But they didn't care, as long as they could kill the witch, what was a few dead reserve witches.

But the attacking witches care.

The leader, the witch who fired the first shot that hit the projector's face instantly sank, she raised her hand, made a grasping gesture, and said in a deep voice, "Witchcraft - Fish Scale Tail."

Her legs instantly lengthened into a long, immense snake's tail encircling all the reserve witches in the entire arena, and all of the bone bullets that were fired at her pierced into her snake's tail, setting in, blood spurting out of it, and the upper half of her body, which was ambling along on the snake's tail, trembled and stifled a grunt of pain.

"Leah!"

A witch next to her looked incredulously at Leah's wounded snake tail, "Why did this bullet pierce your snake tail!"

"It doesn't matter." Lia looked up with a pale face, her gaze still calm and blazing, "Let the reserve witches go first, we'll break off!"

Tang Er, who was circled by the snake's tail, looked at the situation, the gun in his hand had come out, he couldn't help but keep looking back, Mu Sicheng's monkey paw had been stupidly scratching the ground, and his eyes occasionally whored Bai Liu a glance --- it was obvious that he wanted to help. -It can be seen very much want to help out.

Bai Liu stops him with what could be described as coldness, "No, we can't move easily without orders from the tactician."

Tang Er hit the teeth to hold back, Mu Sicheng grassed, but still honest.

-- Bai Liu is right, in the league field, without Liu Jiayi's order, they should never act easily and interrupt the tactician's layout.

The reserve witches, in a panic, were quickly evacuated under the protection of Leah Serpent's Tail, and the whole thing took less than thirty seconds, so it looked like everyone was familiar with the process.

Leah's snake tail had been beaten to a bloody pulp and she finally couldn't hold up her form and transformed back into her human form, flipping and rolling and hiding in a nearby corner, her back pressed against the wall as she drew a bottle of alcohol sanitizer out of her own backside and bit into it, aiming it at the densely packed wounds in the upper part of her transformed back into her normal legs with a single pour.

She gave a jolt of pain, but blushed miserably and gritted her teeth to stifle a cry of pain, her chest heaving violently, and then with a glance up-

--and Bai Liu, who had purposely hidden in this place and hadn't moved yet, the four of them were eye-to-eye.

Leah: "......"

Bai Liu: "......"

The bullet grazed the wall next to Lia's face and she jerked back to her senses, turning sideways in a pirouette, her freshly decontaminated, bruised legs transforming back into a snake's tail, coiled and stacked in front of Bai Liu and the others, and she was threatening the four people she was protecting behind her in an almost menacing tone, "Move!"

"Walk what?" Quan Zhendong walked down proudly, he looked at Leah's scaly snake tail and couldn't help but tsk twice in a seemingly regretful manner, "Looking at the injuries, Leah, can you still walk? Or crawl?"

"You were originally a member of the Virgin Patrol with a God-given name, but look at you now?"

"How wretched, how foul, why were you so intent on defecting with Baola? You clearly weren't a witch when you did that."

"Isn't it?" Leah's eyes became vertical pupils from the ebb and flow of her emotions, and her voice was hoarse, like a snake swimming, "I think I always have been."

Quan Zhendong's tone went cold: "Arrest her and send her to the trial court."

The members of the escort to the left and right loaded their guns against Leah's neck and whistled playfully, "Snake girl, come with us."

Leah's jaw lifted slightly at the pick of the gun and she gasped twice before calmly saying, "I can come with you."

"But you let go of the four reserve witches behind me."

Quan Zhendong laughed out loud as if he had heard something extremely funny, "You actually still think that you are qualified to negotiate with us who have gotten the Seven Star Eel Bone Bomb?"

"We'd be merciful to you if we didn't scrape your snakeskin alive right now."

Tang Er's dark blue eyes sank as he slowly gripped the gun in his right hand, and Mu Sicheng's monkey paw began to turn its bones and move, fangs bared, while Mu Ke pursed his lips and looked toward Bai Liu, his expression tight-

--And Bai Liu was not moved, he still waited calmly where he was.

The moment the escort's hand was about to touch Lia, the receiver on Bai Liu's waist vibrated, and all four men looked down at the same time to see a message from Liu Jiayi -

-[Help has arrived].

A roaring motorcycle slammed right through the warehouse's roll-up door, and the man driving it slammed his foot on the ground, turning the whole thing around and whirling it in, sending the escort member directly in front of Leah flying, and then stretching out the heel of his shoe to brake on the ground.

After a huge spark from the heel of his shoe, the car came to a slim stop in front of Leah's snake tail.

Mu Sicheng watched in amazement as he let out a whisper, "A master of the car!"

The woman in the car stepped down, she was wearing a tight black leathery dress with a short jacket on top, casually removed her helmet, revealing her short black half-length hair that was hot and humid inside, she casually shook out her hair and turned her head to throw the helmet aside, then with a turn, she condescendingly and with disgusted eyes stepped on the heel of her scuffed shoe that had been hit by the motorcycle and flew to the ground and was screaming miserably over her broken leg Quan Zhendong's neck.

Quan Zhendong screamed as he was scalded again, but this woman stepped on his neck and crushed it twice with extreme contempt, "Whose snake skin did you just say you would skin alive?"

"How about I scrape you alive first, you colorful lot."

"You Zhen!" said Leah, letting out a long breath as she vainly transformed back into her old self, her tone ecstatic, "What are you guys doing here?"

The whole place was quickly controlled by the witches brought by You Zhen, and all the clerical guards were killed, leaving only Quan Zhendong at You Zhen's feet.

"The district was freed up to back you guys up when they came in with a powerful character." You Zhen wipes the sweat from his own head and looks at the injury on Lia's leg and frowns, "What's going on? You're hurt too, why are so many witches hurt today?"

"The Order seems to have developed a weapon against us." Leah raised her chin indifferently, "Our Father Kwon should have some inside knowledge."

You Zhen gave an OK sign and she nodded with a somewhat evil smile, "Got it, I'll take him back and have a nice chat with him."

"So what's with the four women?" You Zhen looked at the four "women" behind Leah with some curiosity, and then brightened up as she ah-ha'd and clapped her hands together, rubbing them together in slight excitement, and said meaningfully, "They're the ones from the group of reserve witches we rescued who want to join the Witch Zone, aren't they? "

Leah looked into You Zhen's incredibly sparkling, expectant eyes, and for a moment, opened her mouth, actually unable to speak.

It was true that they had saved many batches of reserve witches, but very few of the reserve witches in each batch they had saved were willing to join them, and it would be good to have one in each batch-mostly because of the kind of chaos where the Order would attack indiscriminately in order to kill them, and they'd let most of the reserve witches run away in order to protect them, and it was also true that there wasn't much of a chance to ask the other person to join. Indeed there wasn't much chance of asking each other if they wanted to join.

Since they also almost got them killed after all, it seemed a bit inappropriate to go after them and ask each other again.

But this time there were actually four left behind ......

Leah can totally understand You Zhen's anticipation, because even she can't help but look forward to it.

She turned around with feigned composure, doing her best to put on her gentlest and friendliest face, and couldn't help but begin to rue the fact that it was her and not Baola who was here - if it had been Baola, surely these people could have been convinced to join the Witch Zone.

"You ......" Leah's words were barely halfway through her haughtily spoken words when You Zhen rushed forward to her, her eyes all bright, happy light: "Did you guys stay because you like witches and yearn for Did you stay because you like witches and yearn for witches?"

"We welcome you to join us!"

You Zhen was so happy that she even wanted to shake Tang Er's hand, but she was afraid that the other party hated witches, so she stopped in mid-air and just looked at them with such bright eyes, "Is that so?"

-- The light in her eyes was so brilliant, it was as if a nod of their heads could turn into a spark igniting the light in her eyes into an explosion of fireworks that would make her cheer up in place.

Tang Er fought against that kind of look, he opened his mouth, almost a little overwhelmed, he didn't know how to refuse - he was a man.

Mu Sicheng was also silent.

"I was told to be honest with you all and not to lie to you." Bai Liu calmly removed his wig, "As much as I'd like to just say I want to join you, before I do, I have to tell you-"

"--we're men."

Mu Sicheng slowly removed his wig as well, followed by Tang Er hit, then Mu Ke, and as if in silence, they silently, without a word, removed the inappropriate female attire they were wearing - as if they didn't wish to remove it at the moment.

The light in You Zhen's eyes just slowly goes out and then changes again - from a brilliant light to tears.

She shook her head incredulously and stepped back, seemingly in a trance like she couldn't accept the reality, and pointed at all of them, "All of you, all of you are men?"

"How is that possible?"

"One ......" You Zhen stubbornly compared a one with her finger as she questioned them with tears in her eyes, "Not a single girl?"

"Not a single girl among you who stayed because she aspired to be a witch?"

Leah patted You Zhen's shoulder wordlessly for comfort.

You Zhen tilted her head back to hold back her own tears as she took a deep breath and lowered her head back down into that extremely aggressive look again as she suddenly drew her gun and pointed it at Bai Liu's head, questioning him icily, "OK, you're a man, so let's move on to the witch's routine interrogation session of a man, and a friendly piece of advice, don't lie to a witch... Unless you have two lives-"

"-First question, have you ever done anything to hurt a witch?"

Bai Liu raised his hands calmly, "No."

You Zhen continues to coldly question, "Have you ever watched any of the witch trials without making a sound?"

Bai Liu said, "No."

You Zhen asks, "Do you think that the existence of witches is a sin, a mistake, and that the reason why eels can only be digested by witches is because we are born sinful, and that God is punishing us, and that we must atone for our sins?"

"Never." Bai Liu's tone was even, "The first child who cried for me and healed me was a witch."

"She is one of my most precious friends in this world, she is someone I would commit my life, victory and trust to."

"If she is the one who in God's setting is sinful, the one who is wrong, the one who has to atone for her birth all the time-"

Bai Liu looked straight at You Zhen: "Then I will kill God for her."

You Zhen looked steadily at Bai Liu for a long time, she lowered her gun, then turned around, she raised her hand and wiped her eyes fiercely, then choked back insults, "Get lost, stinking men, don't let me see you again!"

Bai Liu looked at the back of You Zhen's departure and lowered the hands he had been holding up, he watched from afar as You Zhen walked halfway to the warehouse door and kicked it several times, breaking down and cursing as he cried:

"Pissed off! I can't believe all the people I saved were dog men!"

"One, not one girl left for me!"

"Wooooooo! You ecclesiastical! Why!"

Leah pats You Zhen's shoulder in silent relief, and You Zhen buries his head into Leah's shoulder, crying stoically, before walking away from each other.

"...... Eh, it feels like it's a wrong thing for me to be a male." Mu Sicheng sighed from the bottom of his heart, and it was a bit hard for him.

Tang Er hit sat with a stony expression and nodded rather approvingly.

"What does Jiayi want us to do next?" Mu Sicheng sat down on the warehouse floor, he he looked up at Bai Liu with some sadness, "Hurry up and let me do something! Otherwise I feel so sorry for them!"

Tang Er hit nodded gravely again.

"Why didn't you let us make a move just now?" Mu Sicheng thought for a moment as he asked Bai Liu, "That witch named Lia is hurt so badly!"

Bai Liu swept Mu Sicheng a sidelong glance, "Because the other side doesn't need it."

"When Quan Zhendong was about to touch Leah, the hand behind Leah's back made a gesture that she should still have witchcraft at her disposal."

Bai Liu withdrew his gaze, his tone light: "They are perfectly capable of handling things on their own, you purposely going to help is just adding trouble to interrupt their offensive rhythm."

Mu Sicheng scratched his head somewhat awkwardly, "This, this way?"

"So if we do other things, does that disrupt the rhythm of what they do? Is there something we can do?"

"Of course." Bai Liu looked at You Zhen's departing back, "Jiayi gave orders for us to assist them in robbing the court."

"Hijacking the court?" Mu Sicheng froze, "What hijacking the court?"

Mu Ke explains, "The tribunal here tries a lot of witch cases every day, and they're supposed to be there to hijack those trials."

"But there should be a lot of these trials, right?" Tang Er typed a slightly puzzled inquiry, "How do we determine when and where to rob the court?"

Bai Liu's eyes strayed to the priest's clothes left in place by Quan Zhendong, who had been dragged away by Lia, and his eyes narrowed a bit as he walked over, slipping his hand in to search for a moment and pulling out a stalk of paper correspondence with two fingers.

Almost simultaneously, the receiver on Bai Liu's waist vibrated:

[Priestly clothing, court hijacking schedule.]
