Day of Imprisonment

When two people are very close, they can hear each other's heartbeats.

But at this moment, Lin Qiqi could only feel her own heart beating rapidly.

The person holding her seemed to have no emotional fluctuations, and she could barely feel a heartbeat.

But Lin Qiqi still felt very excited.

Because she knew who this person was.

"I knew you could find this place."

She couldn't help but whisper, her heart pounding like a deer.

Of course, although she said that, she knew very well that the probability of Luo Xi finding her in Fairytale Town was actually very small.

This was Luo Xi; anyone else would most likely not be able to find her.

Just figuring out how to enter Fairytale Town without a ticket would be enough to stop ninety-nine percent of people.

"This outfit suits you quite well."

Luo Xi also made a joke.

"Thank you, but I don't have much time.

I have to go back in three minutes at most, otherwise some powerful ladies inside will notice."

"Node 0, you must have already experienced the Little Red Riding Hood scene.

This is Node 2; I guess it's Cinderella."

"You guessed right."

"So you've already found Cinderella?

As expected, I really shouldn't doubt your ability.

Then, I'll get to the point.

The witches in the entire Fairytale Town are very powerful.

They are almost everywhere.

The leader of the alliance is at Node 7.

I haven't obtained a ticket for Node 7 yet, but I've learned a lot of information.

More importantly, by chance, I've infiltrated their ranks and become a witch."

"You?"

Luo Xi really didn't expect this.

"What?

Do you think I can't do it?"

Lin Qiqi asked back.

"Continue."

"Of course, I've only been here for a short time and am only a trainee witch.

I passed a simple magic test ceremony.

The second stage ceremony will be held tomorrow.

If I pass, I can become an official witch."

"What's the risk?"

"I may be invaded by some evil soul, but that's not a problem.

I'm a Soul Peeker; I have my own defenses."

"Understood.

Anything else?"

"The exit of Fairytale Town seems to be closed by the Witch Alliance.

That is to say, if you want to leave Fairytale Town, you must solve this problem.

I suggest you go to the Dark Furnace Tavern and form an alliance with the tavern owner.

The tavern is the strongest Memory Keeper organization in Node 2 besides the Witch Alliance.

It has been operating in Node 2 for a long time and has many powerful people.

Even if you can't cooperate, you can get some information."

"I'll consider it."

Luo Xi nodded.

"There's nothing else.

Come here at this time tomorrow and meet here.

If everything goes well, I will become an official witch by then.

If you help me, I may have the ability to control this place.

Of course, if I don't come, or you don't find me, it means I failed.

Then you continue according to your own plan and don't go to the cemetery to find me,"

Lin Qiqi earnestly instructed.

"Cinderella also plans to go this route.

Do you have a spell on hand?"

"Yes!"

Lin Qiqi didn't waste any words.

She leaned over, put her mouth to Luo Xi's ear, and softly recited an extremely complex series of syllables, which should be some kind of special and mysterious language.

"The spell cannot be recorded.

Every witch will have a resonance with her own spell.

If I record it, it will be noticed immediately, so I can only tell you in this way.

Of course, other witches will also notice that I have recited it, but I can fool them by saying I was 'practicing', so if that Cinderella also wants to practice, she must find a way to block the magic fluctuations, otherwise, it is equivalent to exposing her position."

"Understood."

Luo Xi nodded.

He memorized all the pronunciations of the spell and could recite them perfectly.

Of course, he has no magic fluctuations, so reciting it is useless.

"In short, I have a new plan to control the Witch Alliance.

Luo Xi, now that you are helping me, I will be very confident."

After speaking, Lin Qiqi suddenly kissed Luo Xi on the face, but soon, she noticed Luo Xi's severely burned skin and the scars that almost covered his entire face.

She was shocked.

Before, Luo Xi was hiding in the shadows and wearing a hood, so she didn't notice that he was injured.

"You—"

"I'm fine.

Just do what you should do."

"Okay, okay, Luo Xi, be careful yourself."

After speaking, Lin Qiqi quickly left, her figure graceful, leaving a lingering fragrance, making people daydream.

Luo Xi wiped the saliva from his face, feeling a little helpless, and glanced at Lin Qiqi, who had already entered the building over there, before turning around and leaving.

This trip was more rewarding than expected.

Finding Lin Qiqi was a pleasant surprise.

Originally, one of the reasons Luo Xi entered Node 2 was to find Lin Qiqi.

Now the goal has been achieved, and Lin Qiqi, relying on the ability of [Soul Peeker], has actually infiltrated the interior of the Witch Alliance.

This is an interesting and promising thing.

In this way, Luo Xi's original plan has to be adjusted.

Besides, Lin Qiqi mentioned 'Dark Furnace Tavern' and that he could use the power of the tavern owner.

However, according to 'Greyshadow', the tavern owner is untrustworthy and very dangerous.

The subjective viewpoints of individuals determine the judgment results here.

Greyshadow chose to stay away because he couldn't control the tavern owner, but for Luo Xi, this concern was not so great.

"It's still early before midnight.

Why not go have another drink."

Thinking of this, Luo Xi immediately adjusted his route and direction.

The more you walk at night, the more familiar you become.

This time it was even smoother than before, avoiding the patrolling guards and arriving at the Dark Furnace Bar.

Unsurprisingly, the bar door was already closed.

Luo Xi took off the Shadow Moon Cloth shirt on his body, revealing his severely burned head, looking like he was wearing a disgusting and hideous headgear.

He touched the rough and hard scars, and then looked around.

The tavern seemed to be closed, but Luo Xi knocked on the door a few times, and someone immediately opened the door.

The gatekeeper, a Remnant, was similar to a security guard. They might not be strong in combat, but they definitely possessed a special ability: recognizing people.

Originally, Luo Xi had just been here not long ago, so logically, the gatekeeper should have recognized him at a glance.

But if it was someone who had been severely burned, even the best eyesight wouldn't be able to recognize them.

"You, who are you?" The gatekeeper was startled. In the dim light of the night, Luo Xi looked even more terrifying than a ghost.

"Open the door, I have urgent business."

"Alright, come in first!"

To avoid being discovered by the patrolling guards, the gatekeeper nodded.

He opened the door, allowing one person to enter. After Luo Xi went in, he quickly closed the door.

The bar was quieter than when he had come before, with fewer people.

However, those who could stay here now were all Remnants. The true locals knew the rules of the city, so they wouldn't run out at night looking for trouble.

Luo Xi's entrance immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Everyone was stunned by the terrifying and hideous burn scars. At the same time, they were curious. With such terrible burns, this person hadn't died?

Not only hadn't he died, but he was also able to wander around outside.

Wouldn't the scabbed wounds crack open?

The newest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

At the same time, they were also guessing the identity of this unfamiliar face.

A burly man drinking in the corner saw Luo Xi, was stunned for a moment, and then turned his head to the female receptionist over there and said, "What the hell is that monster?"

The female receptionist was also stunned when she saw Luo Xi come in.

She got up and walked over, frowning, but before she could speak, Luo Xi preemptively said, "I want to see your boss, right now!"

Behind the bar was an area for staff only.

The burly man frowned: "Some unknown guy, he says he wants to see the boss, and he gets to see him? Isn't this a joke? Who does he think he is?"

The female receptionist crossed her arms in front of her chest and glanced at the burly man: "He said he can dismantle the Witch Alliance."

"What?" The burly man's eyelids twitched, and he immediately lowered his voice: "He, how does he know… no, why does he think he can dismantle that terrifying organization? Even we are barely surviving in the cracks."

"That's not a question for us to consider. Since the other party knows about the Witch Alliance and says such a thing, we, as employees of the tavern, can only, and must, report it to the boss. Regardless of whether the person is talking nonsense or not, it's not our place to interfere. But if we know and don't report it, do you think the boss will let us go if any problems arise later?" The female receptionist sighed.

Neither the burly man nor she could make a decision on this matter.

The other party was very clever. No matter what the purpose, this news must be made known to the boss.

"The decision is in the hands of the boss. We only need to obey orders," the female receptionist said, walking to the end of the corridor. There was a downward staircase there, and at the bottom of the stairs was a very dilapidated-looking door.

This door led to the area where the 'tavern boss' was located.

Walking to the door, the female receptionist felt a little nervous.

Every time she went to find the boss, she would be nervous. If she could, she hoped never to come looking for the boss.

But this matter was not up to her wishes.

So, taking a deep breath, she reached out and knocked on the dilapidated wooden door.

The knocking sounded very loud in this relatively enclosed environment, even echoing, because there was nothing messy placed here. The place wasn't big, but it was very empty.

With a creak, the door opened.

The one who opened the door was a middle-aged man with a blank expression, a beard, and a scar on his face. The pupils of this middle-aged man's eyes were filled with turbid white light, as if some force had shattered his pupils, merging them with the surrounding tissue into a chaotic mass.

The female receptionist knew that this was the boss's 'claw'.

This seemed to be related to the boss's ability. Similar claws were all grabbed by the boss from different nodes, controlled by some special method, and turned into puppets like walking corpses.

These puppets were powerful. A single one could easily kill her.

And this, it was said, was only a fraction of the boss's strength.

Therefore, none of the bar's employees dared to oppose the boss or have any unrealistic ideas.

Because the boss possessed abilities that, in their eyes, were so powerful as to be completely unsolvable.

"What is it?" the puppet who opened the door asked blankly.

It was as if someone was speaking through this puppet from a distant place using some method.

The female receptionist hurriedly lowered her head and explained her purpose.

"Interesting. Being able to detect the existence of witches shows that his strength is not weak. But to say he can dismantle the alliance is just wishful thinking. I'm attending a ball, I don't have time to go back. You can ask that person what his plan is. I reckon he's just a fool with ambition. To divert my attention from the beautiful duchess to an unrealistic matter is simply murdering my time!"

"Yes, boss, I understand." The female receptionist lowered her head, preparing to turn around and leave.

"Wait a moment, what's that person's name?" the puppet suddenly asked.

"I don't know!" The female receptionist shook her head: "The other party didn't say, and the rules of the tavern are not to ask names. Also, the other party seems to have been severely burned, but didn't die. The scars on his body are very frightening."

"Heh, I understand. Go ask him, and then kill him. I don't like people messing around. The current balance was hard to establish and can't be ruined by an idiot and a fool, although I don't think he has the ability to do so."

"Yes, boss!" The female receptionist didn't dare breathe loudly.

"Also, ask someone to ask Gray Shadow. The ball has been going on for a while, but Cinderella hasn't come yet. Are his clients messing around again?"

"Ah, okay, boss."

The female receptionist's heart skipped a beat. At this moment, the claw had already retreated and closed the door.

She hurried away quickly, and only after climbing the stairs and reaching the outside did she breathe a sigh of relief.
