Academic Gathering with Lich Colleagues

Chapter 231 Witch Hunt
In the deep valley, the endless forest is filled with thick fog. The nature here seems to dislike light very much, blocking the sun not far away from its own shelter.The wet soil is covered with green moss, and the shady water vapor shrouds the woods. When walking in such a dense forest, you will have the illusion that ice and snow are kissing your ankles.

The water mist spread to the depths of the dense forest, and gradually took on an uncommon color.From the distant mountains came the cries of wild animals, and they sang of the tranquility of nature.The trees are dancing their twigs with the wind, playing the green organ.

Soon in this symphony, irregular noises appeared.

The sound of cloth rubbing against dead branches is like the noise of insects flapping their wings, turning back time to the midsummer that was occupied by cicadas.

From the depths of the leaves, from the shadowy bushes, the little villains made their appearance.There are two button eyes of different sizes on the head stitched with coarse cloth, following the big head of the puppet to look at the surrounding environment.Looking left and right for a while, they retreated into the bushes like shy children, bounced but quickly returned to the owner's side, and climbed onto the pale arm.

The puppet is lying on the master's shoulder, with two fingers without fingers covering the mouth represented by the thin line, and furtively speaking in the master's ear in a language that does not belong to humans.

Its owner, in fact, is no different from it, wearing a dilapidated and dusty dress, and the faded dress is just like her skin.The emaciated torso was like a hemp stalk, with a pale mask on his face.The hair was like dry, tangled straw, protruding from the top hat.

Listening to the muppet's murmur, he kept nodding.She walked forward like a puppet, her bare white feet stained with mud, like a ghost in the woods.The mask on her face was removed, and the girl's fair face was filled with lifelessness, and the pupils in her originally beautiful eyes shrank like needlepoints.Her appearance is very beautiful, but there are no undulating facial features, more like a mask than the pale mask.

Miss Doll turned her head and looked at the bushes she walked out of.

"There is no danger, sisters."

Girls of her size came out of the bushes one after another. They took off their masks and disguises, and they were no different from dolls.This is a group, a group of witches.They looked at each other and looked around, their eyes rolling in their sockets, without words, but they could still feel the relaxed atmosphere generated.

Soon, more witches came out of the bushes, and the leading woman of the second group was a little taller than them, and she was floating.She came in front of Miss Doll, with a hint of blame in her cold voice.

"Fegni, you should be more careful. Reconnaissance missions are the most dangerous jobs, and you...you are also responsible for your own safety."

Fegney tilted her head, and the puppet familiar lying on her shoulders was doing the same movements as its master.

"I get it, Ms. Wen Li, I just don't want to miss the rally."

Wen Li knew that this girl didn't understand what she said, because she was never among the objects of her protection.Since Fegney's death, she has lost her sense of herself.Wen Li slowed down her speech, trying to make her cold voice as soft as possible.

"We have come very early, Feigni. After we came out of Andrei, we went to the rally non-stop. We will not be late when we come here. We didn't delay much time along the way."

"Because we're dead, aren't we?"

"Death cannot separate us, death is only the beginning."

The death witch and the lich are not exactly the same, even if the body has become a corpse or a doll, they can still feel and have emotions.After the non-stop trek, finally entered a safe place, maybe everyone can breathe a sigh of relief and relieve the tense nerves.

After receiving Ms. Wen Li's order to take a short rest, all the witches cheered blankly.They get together in twos and threes, but in fact, there is nothing to do, and death deprives them of most of their enjoyment, and they can only talk to their sisters.

"My sister, can I exchange my skirt for your bracelet? I like the color of your bracelet and I want to use it to cover my wound." A witch tore off the skirt of her light blue dress , before they fade.On her neck was a bloody fissure, now held together by magic, but with black marks of corrosion on the surface.

"Of course, dear, I just need fabric, but how did you get your wound?"

"It was a paladin skilled in swordsmanship. He chopped off my head. I didn't have much pain when I died. I am very fortunate that the gap in the neck is very small, and your girdle is just enough."

"Perfect exchange, my sister." The witch who lost her bracelet praised her companion's new collar. There was a hideous slit on her chest, and her back could be seen from the front. "I want to weave a corsage to wear." In front of me so people don't call me 'See Through Riley'."

"I can help you. My mother gave me some tips on aristocratic dresses before she was alive."

They started discussing just like the tea party they had experienced in their lifetime.The sound is broken, injecting a little vitality into the dense forest.

"Murray, where are you going? Ms. Wen Li told us not to leave the camp."

Looking at his little friend, Murray stomped his feet on the spot angrily.

"Lola! You're such a boring idiot!" Murray, who had already suffered from agitation from being suppressed by the discipline, simply broke the can, "I'm going hunting! I'm going to get my trophies."

While calling Murray's name, Laura followed her closely.

They turned over the tangled vines under the banyan tree, stepped on the smooth stones by the stream, and searched for possible animals.

The two lay side by side on the ground, pillowed on the moss-woven bed.

"Damn it, there isn't even a rabbit here."

"There is no best, we can't even eat meat, why should we hurt them for fun."

"Lola, you idiot, of course it's because I'm stronger! It's normal for the strong to kill the weak!"

"Aunt Safiyo said that it is wrong for the big to bully the small."

"She lied, so why would a man who can shine bully us?"

"……I have no idea."

After waiting for an hour, Murray lost his composure.

"What a waste of time, go back, Laura."

Lola grabbed Murray's arm to keep her from getting up.She pointed to the stone not far away, looked at Murray with surprise in her voice.

"Murray, did you see that?"

"cat."
