At the same time, the witch is ready to pick the warehouse.

As Bai Liu and the others hid in the crowd, Mu Sicheng looked around warily before whispering into Bai Liu's ear, "But I still don't know what Jiayi's three messages mean, so explain them to me."

"No need to explain." Bai Liu gazed stoically into the crowd of a dozen women who were slowly poking their hands over the edge of their skirts, obviously reaching for their weapons, and raised an eyebrow slightly, smiling, "You'll see what that means in a minute."

There was a witch in the container they were in, no wonder there was a side quest.

Muke 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 Pre-Witch Sorting Ceremony is not going to go as smoothly as those in the Order had hoped."

Almost immediately after Bai Liu's words, a girl about three metres in front of him raised her hand and brushed it through the loop of her right leg, where a pistol appeared to be concealed, and she wore a very small red stud in her right ear, staring deadpan at the Quan Baola video on the big screen, her breath catching and her chest heaving.

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 for a moment - a signal for some sort of attack, it seemed, and without hesitation she raised her arm, drew her pistol from the inside of the leg loop of her long skirt, and looked up into the stands.

With a look of unspoken hatred and determination, the girl raised her hand to the projector showing Quan Baola's teaching video, almost hoarsely shouting, "How dare you show the video of Baola's trial!"

"You don't deserve to see her more than once!"

The trigger was pulled, the bullet fired, the projector burst into flames, Quan Baola's projection on the big screen disappeared for a split second, and the whole warehouse was silent for a brief moment before everyone started crouching with their heads in their hands, screaming in shock.

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 Erda and Muke quickly followed suit and crouched down.

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

Quan Zhendong, hiding in panic behind the Papal Guardian in the stands, shouted, "Change to the witch's special seven-star eel bone bomb!"

"Catch these wicked witches!"

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

The bullets spewed out instantly, and these Papal escorts fired not at the witches at all, but loaded straight up and strafed the entire field indiscriminately - which meant they would also hit the innocent prep witches.

But they didn't care, what was a few dead prep witches if they could kill them.

But the attacking witches cared.

The witch in the lead, the one who fired the first shot that hit the projector, her face instantly sank as she raised her hand, made a grasping gesture, and said in a deep voice, "Witchcraft - Fishscale Tail."

Her legs instantly elongated into a long, immense snake tail that surrounded all the reserve witches in the entire field, and the bone bullets fired at her all penetrated and set into her snake tail, blood gushing out of it, and her upper body, which was crouched on its back, shuddered and stifled a grunt of pain.

" Leah!"

A witch next to her looked incredulously at Leah's wounded snake tail: "Why did that bullet go through your snake tail!"

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

Tang Erda, circled by the snake's tail, looks on, gun out of his hand, and can't help but keep looking back, Mu Sicheng's monkey paws scratching the ground, his eyes whoring Bai Liu every now and then... -He could see that he was eager to help.

Bai Liu stopped him coldly, "No, we can't move easily without an order from the tactician."

Tang Erda gritted her teeth and held back, Mu Sicheng gave a grumble but was honest.

-- Bai Liu was right, in the league field, they could never act easily and interrupt the tactician's layout without Liu Jiayi's orders.

In a panic, the prep witches were swiftly evacuated under the protection of Leah's snake tail, the whole process taking less than thirty seconds, and by the look of it everyone knew their way around.

Leah's snake tail had been beaten to a bloody pulp and she finally couldn't hold on to her form, turning back into her human form, flipping and rolling and hiding in a nearby corner, her back pressed against the wall, she pulled a bottle of alcoholic disinfectant from her back and bit into it, pouring it over the dense wounds on her transformed back to normal legs.

She winced in pain, but gritted her teeth in ghastly pallor to hold back a cry of pain, her chest heaving violently, and then with a glance up -

-- and Bai Liu, who had purposely hidden in this spot and hadn't moved yet, the four of them went wide-eyed.

Leah: "......"

Bai Liu: "......"

The bullet grazed the wall by Leah's face and she jerked back, turning sideways, her freshly decontaminated, bruised legs turning back into snake tails, coiled and stacked in front of Bai Liu and the four men she was protecting behind her, almost in a menacing tone, "Move!"

"Walk what?" Quan Zhendong came down smugly, he looked at Leah's bruised snake tail and tsked twice with what looked like regret, "Looking at the injuries, Leah, can you still walk? Or crawl?"

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

"How wretched, how dirty, why did you want to defect with Baola so badly? You clearly weren't a witch when you were that one."

"Aren't you?" Leah's eyes turned into vertical pupils as her emotions rose and fell, and her voice was hoarse, like a snake swimming, "I think I always was."

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

The escorts to the left and right loaded their guns and placed them against Leah's neck, and whistled playfully, "Come with us, snake woman."

Leah's jaw lifted slightly as the gun prodded her, and she gasped twice before saying calmly, "I can come with you."

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

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

"We'd be kind to you if we didn't scrape your snake skin alive right now."

Tang Erda's dark blue eyes sank as he slowly gripped his gun in his right hand, Mu Sicheng's monkey paws began to turn and move with bony knuckles and fangs bared, while Muke pursed his lips and looked at Bai Liu with a tense expression -

--And Bai Liu was unmoved, he remained calmly waiting where he was.

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

--[Help has arrived].

A motorbike with a loud roar crashed straight through the roll-up door of the warehouse, and the man driving it dipped to the floor and spun the whole thing around and spun it in, knocking the escort in front of Leah straight away, before sticking his heels out and braking on the floor.

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

Mu Sicheng looked stunned as he leaned in with a whisper, "A master car player!"

The woman in the car stepped down, dressed in a tight black leather outfit with a short jacket on top, and casually removed her helmet, revealing her short, hot and damp black half-length hair inside. She casually tossed her hair, turned her head and tossed her helmet aside, then with a turn, she stood tall, her eyes disgusted, and stomped the heel of her polished shoe on the neck of Quan Zhendong, who had been knocked to the ground by the motorbike and was screaming, covering his broken leg. Quan Zhendong's neck.

Quan Zhendong screamed again at the heat, but the woman stepped on his neck with utmost contempt and crushed it twice: "Whose snake skin did you just say you were going to skin alive?"

"How about I shave you alive first, you horny lot."

" You Zhen!" Leah let out a long breath as she deflated back into her original form, her tone delighted, "What are you doing here?"

The whole scene was quickly controlled by the witches You Zhen had brought with her, and all the Papal Guards were killed, leaving only Quan Zhendong at You Zhen's feet.

"There's a big player in the district, so we're free to back you up." You Zhen wiped the sweat from her head and looked at the wound on Leah's leg and frowned, "What happened? 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 God Quan father should know something on the inside."

You Zhen made an OK gesture 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 these four women?" You Zhen looked at the four 'women' behind Leah with some curiosity, then a light went on and she clapped her hands together, rubbing them together with a slight excitement, and said meaningfully, "They're the ones we rescued from the witch reserves who want to join the witch district, aren't they? !"

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

They did save many groups of witches in reserve, but only a few of each group they saved were willing to join them, and it would have been nice to have one in each group - mainly because in that chaotic situation, the Order would have attacked indiscriminately to kill them, and they would have let them simply run away to protect most of the witches in reserve. There really wasn't much chance of asking each other if they wanted to join.

Because they too, after all, had almost gotten themselves killed, it seemed a bit inappropriate to go after each other and ask them again.

But this time there are actually four left ......

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

She turned around with a feigned composure, trying her best to put on her gentlest and friendliest face, and couldn't help but begin to regret that she was the one here and not Baola - if it had been Baola, surely these people could have been persuaded to join the Witch District.

"You guys ......" Leah had barely gotten halfway through her sentence when You Zhen rushed up to her, her eyes all bright and happy: "Are you guys staying because you like witches and aspire to be witches? You stayed because you like witches and aspire to be witches!"

"We welcome you to join us!"

You Zhen was so happy that she even tried to shake Tang Erda's hand, but stopped in mid-air for fear that she would hate witches and just looked at them with that bright look in her eyes, "Really?"

--the light in her eyes was so brilliant that it was as if a nod from them could turn into a spark to ignite the light in her eyes into a pyrotechnic eruption that would send her leaping up in place with joy.

Tang Erda opened his mouth in the face of that look, almost a little at a loss for words, he didn't know how to refuse - he was a man.

Mu Sicheng is 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 also slowly removed his wig, followed by Tang Erda and then Muke, and as if in silence, without a word, they removed their inappropriate feminine attire - as if they did not wish to do so at the moment.

The light in You Zhen's eyes just slowly went out and then changed again - from a brilliant light to a teary one.

She shook her head incredulously and stepped back, seemingly unable to accept the reality, and laughed in a trance, pointing at them all: "You, all of you, are men?"

"How is that possible?"

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

"Is there not a single girl among you who has stayed because she aspires to be a witch?"

Leah pats You Zhen's shoulder wordlessly as a gesture of comfort.

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

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

Bai Liu held up his hands calmly, "No."

You Zhen continued to question coldly, "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 sinful and wrong, and that the reason why eels are digested only by witches is because we are born sinful and God is punishing us and we must atone for our sins?"

"Never." Bai Liu spoke in a calm tone, "The first child to cry for me and heal me was a witch."

"She is one of the most valuable friends I have in this world, she is someone I would trust with my life, my victory and my trust."

"If she is the one who is sinful in God's setting, 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 at Bai Liu steadily for a long time, she lowered her gun and then turned around, she raised her hand and wiped her eyes hard before choking back her insults, "Get lost, you stinking men, don't let me see you again!"

Bai Liu looked at You Zhen's back as he left and dropped the hands he had been holding up. He watched from afar as You Zhen walked halfway across the room, kicking the warehouse door several times in anger, crying and cursing at the same time.

"I'm so angry! I can't believe all the people we saved were dog men!"

"Not one, not one girl left for me!"

"Wooooooooo! You ecclesiastical! Why!"

Leah pats You Zhen's shoulder in silent relief, You Zhen buries her head in Leah's shoulder, sobbing in silence, and walks away in harmony.

"...... eh, it feels like a wrong thing for me to be a guy." Mu Sicheng sighed from the bottom of his heart as he felt a little hard.

Tang Erda sat with a stony expression and nodded approvingly.

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

Tang Erda nodded solemnly once again.

"Why didn't you just let us do it?" Mu Sicheng thought for a moment and he asked Bai Liu, "That Leah witch is hurt so badly!"

Bai Liu gave 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 and spoke in a light tone, "They are perfectly capable of handling things on their own, so you're just adding to the trouble of interrupting their offensive rhythm."

Mu Sicheng scratched his head a little awkwardly, "Is that so?"

"So are we doing other things that will disrupt them doing things too? Is there anything we can do?"

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

"A court robbery?" Mu Sicheng was stunned, "What robbed the court?"

Muke explains, "The tribunal here tries many witch cases every day, and they are supposed to be there to rob these trials."

"But there should be a lot of these trials, right?" Tang Erda inquired, slightly puzzled, "How do we determine the time and place of the court robbery?"

Bai Liu's eyes strayed to the priest's clothes left in place by Quan Zhendong, who had been dragged away by Leah, and his eyes narrowed for a moment as he walked over, reached his hand in for a moment, and took out a paper letter with two fingers.

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

[Father's Service, Court Robbery Schedule.]
