Witch Containment Log

Chapter 4 From Dragon’s Lair to Deep Forest
Cady has guns, lots of them.

In ancient times, the Ansin Temple Commandment Tower was used to imprison witches.The monks chanted sutras to the witch, hoping to reduce the witch's erosion, but they failed. The witch went berserk, cut off their heads, and hung them on the tower. Now only the bones are left.

Walking into the Discipline Tower, you can see all the way to the top of the Seven Treasures Pagoda, where fragments of the ancient monk's skull are still piled on the red-painted beams.

The center of the ground was filled with all kinds of guns and ammunition, gleaming with cold light.

"Gun!" Saho ran over happily.

Suddenly, the mountain, which was stacked with various types of infantry firearms, trembled.

Rifles, submachine guns, energy weapons, and boxes of bullets fell down, making a loud sound when they hit the ground. The butts and magazines of the guns collided with each other on the ground, making a clanging sound.

A ferocious figure pushed the gun away, and Katie crawled out!
Wearing a dark guard uniform and a wide-brimmed hat, she stretched out her slender arms, like a dragon emerging from the world.

Katie had a cold and indifferent expression on her face, her facial features were exquisite, but her eyes were dark brown without pupils, like a pair of ghost eyes, with sharp and ruthless eyes, staring closely at Zhang Su and Saho.

She stepped on the firearms with her bare feet, and her military boots were nowhere to be found. At this moment, the tips of her toes were stepping on the metal firearms, exerting force on her feet, showing the outline of her muscles.

Zhang Su still remembers how unique Katie’s skin was.

It is the only one in the world, extremely smooth, tough as dragon scales, enough for fingertips to slip, and yet elastic when pressed.Even just touching it is a supreme enjoyment.

Now, we can only watch from a distance.

Zaohui was so frightened that he took several steps back and was supported by Zhang Su to prevent him from sitting on the ground.

Cady stood on his pile of weapons.

She stepped on all kinds of standard weapons, as well as boxes of grenades, landmines and other dangerous explosives, plus countless ammunition boxes, and even rocket launchers and anti-aircraft weapons!
They are of different ages and models, and they are all brought back from the battlefield by Katie.

"We are going hunting, give us a gun." Zhang Su said.

Katie leaned forward, as if to defend the wealth on the floor.

This is her dragon treasure, and the command tower is her dragon lair.

A black magic-forbidden chain hangs around her neck, which is enough to limit the release of her magic power. However, even with her bare hands, she can tear apart the enemy, just like she defeated the Fujikawa team members just now.

The Ansin Institute has an excellent defense officer like Katie because she herself is a corrupted witch and has become a high-risk witch under the supervision of the asylum. She is shackled and unable to leave.

Katie opened her hands, subconsciously protecting the mountain of firearms under her body, and stared at them with strange, pupilless yellow eyes, filled with dark traces of corrosion.

"Roar..." Katie's voice was hoarse.

Zaohui was so frightened that he hid behind Zhang Su, as if he was being stared at by a real beast, while Zhang Su faced him calmly.

"I'll bring you food back," Zhang Su said.

food!

Katie squatted on the pile of guns, leaning forward with her hands.

"Food...prey, like..." Katie turned to Zhang Su's side.

"The shelter is very poor and there is very little food. Katie has never eaten well." Zhang Su stepped forward.

"Sister Kati always eats a little bit." Hayho said thoughtfully.

"You can't fight for food with...children." As Zhang Su approached, Katie's body changed from rickety to straight, as if she was looking at him carefully.

"There will be game. Not only can you be full, but everyone can be full too." Zhang Su stretched out his hand.

"Can you shoot...? Can you shoot?..." Katie asked slowly.

"Yes." Zhang Su really didn't know how to do it at first, but he practiced for four years before his rebirth and is now versatile.

She reached into the pile of weapons, identified a sniper rifle, picked it up, and threw it into Zhang Su's arms.

He caught it, and then Katie stopped talking.

"Food...it's a deal." Katie conserved her energy and lay back on the pile of weapons.

If you are not full, you cannot fight.

There had been a fight just now, and the taste of blood in her mouth made Katie even more hungry.

Bring back some food...even a rabbit...Cuddy closed her eyes.

"Thank you." Zhang Su slung the sniper rifle behind his back, picked up another box of bullets, then stopped bothering him and walked out with Saho.

The front entrance was full of blood. Zhang Su didn't want Zao Sui to see the bloody scene, so he decided to take Zao Sui away from the back of the shelter.

"Katy is really scary." Saho strode forward, "If she sells those guns, we will have money. But when the previous director asked about this, Kati almost beat him to death."

"Those guns were brought back by Katie from the battlefield. They are all important heritage. Each gun has a story behind it. No matter what, she will protect everyone. Come on, the Western Wall has been in disrepair and is broken. We Enter the mountain from there," Zhang Su said.

He looked at the mountains outside the shelter. Zhang Su had visited them in his previous life. The vast mountains were covered with deep forests, and there were few people there. There were deer, deer, rabbits, and there were nests of fat ducks in the pond.

"Humph..." Hayho looked at the west wall.

The west wall of the On-House is in disrepair. It is made of rock and has stood for centuries. It is covered with mud, dirt and moss and lacks maintenance.

The mud aged, making it difficult to hold the rock in place, and rainwater seeped in, causing further damage. The walls cracked in the center, with huge cracks running through them, some wide enough for a person to step sideways through.

Looking at Hayao's appearance, he should have known that he could sneak away through the damage to the west wall.

"Do you often run out to play?" Zhang Su said.

"No." Saho shook his head subconsciously, "If someone from the Witch Countermeasures Bureau discovers it, it will be over! Aren't you afraid of the Countermeasures Bureau?"

"The people from the Countermeasures Bureau won't come until July. Before then, I might as well take you out for a walk." Zhang Su said.

He knew what was coming next.

Before the director was gone, Anxin Hospital was considered to be in a semi-abandoned state.

Now that Zhang Su has taken office, the vicious witch prisoner will be sent here in one month.

Four months later, the Countermeasures Bureau came to inspect and inspect the containment measures.

Ten months later, the "Gate to Hell" in Shenyu Mountain opened, and thousands of ghosts were rampant, causing harm to all and destroying all living beings.

Hayao groped the wall, finding a gap.

She excitedly slipped through the crack in the wall and suddenly made a sound.

"Ah-I'm stuck!"

"Look, it's very dangerous." Zhang Su warned Zaosui in time when he saw that Zaosui got stuck halfway through the drill.

Hayao was wearing a student uniform, her white apron was stained with dirt and dust, her socks were dirty and not as well taken care of as Enori.Nowadays, people are stuck in the cracks, looking particularly embarrassed.

"Teacher, save me!" Saho struggled, swinging his hands outwards and kicking his calves on the ground, but he couldn't get through the cracks anyway.

"Be careful not to get bruised." Zhang Su pushed Zaosui and sent her over.

"Huhu... I'm saved." Zaosui crawled over, stretched on the spot, turned around and waved to Zhang Su, "Thank you!"

"The wall of the shelter is too damaged. If it is not repaired, it will not only put naughty children like you in danger, but also give bad guys an opportunity to take advantage of it," Zhang Su said.

"I'm not afraid of bad people, I have my powerful magic power." Saho patted the dust on his body and said seriously.

Zhang Su raised his head and aimed at a higher place. There was a worse gap there, as long as his entire arm, which was enough to get through.

He climbed up on it using his hands and feet, jumped off at the end, and followed Hayho into the mountain along the rugged path.Hayho proudly leads the way.

[Memory "Haosui": The growth witch of the "Shadow" path.As the name suggests, he is a precocious and uneducated type, which is helpful to the director, but has a unique personality, which will continue to cause trouble for the shelter.Have fear of heights]
"If you encounter a rabbit, just 'swish' and kill it!" Hayho was eager to give it a try.

The sun rises high into the sky, but the temperature is not hot, and the sunshine remains at a level that can dispel the chill.

Walking all the way into the mountains, this place is located in a barren mountain, secluded and uninhabited, giving it a wild and desolate scene. The mountain roads are trampled by humans and have deep twists and turns.

The rapid Ina River flows in the mountains. The trees on both sides of the river are lush and there are no human beings in sight.

Zhang Su was ready for hunting. The rifle he was carrying on his back belonged to a rare model "Sako-TRG42". It is a Finnish military rifle and is very brutal.

The entire gun is equipped with a polished wooden stock and a gray steel barrel, with the numerical mark "118" engraved on it, which may be the number of people the original owner has killed with it. The installed sight can be adjusted, and the effective range exceeds 2500 meters.

It's overkill for hunting. This professional rifle is enough to hunt brown bears, tigers and leopards, and more dangerous monsters.

Hayao was excited.

She had always been fascinated by the outside world but had never had the chance to experience it for herself.

Now that the tall director is holding a gun behind her, she feels safe and confident, and she is not afraid even if there are bad guys.

"Animals are used to taking the same path in the forest, which is the 'animal trail'. They leave footprints and traces in the forest. If you follow the animal trail, you can often find prey." Zhang Su pays attention to different traces.

Forests provide habitat for wood rats, pheasants, rabbits and deer, who leave their beards and feathers on tree trunks and gnaw on berries and grass stems, leaving their mark everywhere.

Zhang Su recalled his previous experience and walked very skillfully.

Hayao followed suit and became a patient hunter.

"Rabbit!" Hayao lowered his voice and pointed to the rustling place in the bushes, gray fur flashing among the low branches!
"I'll drive it out from over there." Zhang Su carefully walked around behind the bushes and then stepped forward.

"Puff~!" The rabbit jumped out from the bushes where it was hiding in panic!

"Hit you!" Saho waved his hand fiercely.

A shadow blade was drawn from her hand, hitting the rabbit in an instant, cutting off one of its hind legs, and blood flowed out.

The rabbit fell to the ground, kicking its front legs desperately, panicking.

"Good fight!" Zhang Su came back and saw that the rabbit had been maimed. He couldn't help but praise, it was a good cooperation.

"Eat it." Hayho took back the black shadow magic power in his palm, with a proud look on his face, and he was greedy again.

Witches are divided into infant stage, growth stage, mature body, and complete body.

Hayao is already a Growth Witch, located in the Shadow Path.

Witches of the Shadow Path are proficient in stealth, invisibility, assassination, and combat with sharp edges.

The rabbit was still struggling for life. Zhang Su knelt down and took out the knife and ended the rabbit's life in one stroke.

Hayao watched this scene intently.

First hunt, first kill.

Clean, fast, and significant.

"It's bloody, what should I pretend to be?" asked Hayho.

"The result of the labor of stepping on the sewing machine with stamens." Zhang Su took out the cloth blanket woven by stamens from his pocket, put the rabbit into the blanket, wrapped it and tied it up.

"How does it feel when hunting for the first time?" Zhang Su asked Zaosui.

"I feel very strong." Saho nodded arrogantly, then took a half step back reflexively, "Are you going to teach me a lesson? You said something weird like 'power must be used rationally'."

"You are not a child, why did you say those words? Come on, use magic again, this time aim at that tree." Zhang Su pointed to a big tree next to him.

Hayao gathered the shadow magic power in the palm of her hand and threw it with all her strength.

The magic power turned into a dark sharp blade, cutting through the bark of the tree, leaving a 10 centimeter long and two-finger deep mark.

"Feel it." Zhang Su asked Zaosui to come over.

Hayho carefully observed the bark wound cut by his shadow dart, measured it with his naked eyes, and then put his finger in to feel the sharp touch on the edge.

"Very sharp." Zaosui looked up at Zhang Su.

"The body of the creature is weaker than the trunk of the tree, and the metal is stronger than the trunk. If you aim at the creature, the wound will be deeper and bleed; if you target the metal, the wound will be shallower." Zhang Su squatted down and checked with Saho , "All you have to do is understand your own abilities and know how deep your blade can cut."

Hayao stood in awe.

She felt that Zhang Su was special and interesting, unlike the previous director who only scolded him.

Recognize the full extent of your power so that you can use it appropriately.

Hayao carefully looked at the gap in the bark that she had created, and gained a new understanding of her own magic power.

"I understand." Hayho nodded solemnly.

Zhang Su took Zaosui towards the wild pond.

Hayho couldn't help but look around, curious about everything. The butterflies on the branches could make her stop.She looked around, watching how the squirrels jumped high in the treetops, listening to the chirping of the birds, and noticing the subtle traces left by any animal.

Nature is beautiful in a way that you can’t appreciate in a shelter.

What made Hayho even more intoxicated was this feeling of freedom, as if he was born for the second time.

After trekking for a long time, Zhang Su brought Zaosui to the pond. A group of wild ducks were walking on the waterside, making loud noises.

Saho suddenly became excited when she thought of the text about salted duck eggs, and the fatigue caused by the long walk disappeared.

She holds her magic in her hands, ready to be unleashed at any moment.

Zhang Su signaled her not to act rashly, squatted down and looked inside.

I saw about 12 wild shelducks and 8 yellow downy ducklings, looking for small fish and pecking at grass leaves in the grass by the river.

A big fat duck with a gray neck turned its head and combed its hair with its beak, not noticing that Zhang Su and Zaosui were watching them eagerly.

"Yaya...!" Hayho said in a low voice.

"The duck is not important. Release your magic power and hide us. This time let it expand and become bigger instead of turning into a sharp blade." Zhang Su said.

Hayho tried hard to spread the magic of her shadow.

Her magic power was originally as sharp as a blade, but Saho tried hard to change the shape of her magic power as Zhang Su said.

Gradually, the magic power deformed like a black veil, covering Zhang Su and himself, forming a barrier that could absorb sunlight, block sight, and sneak into the shadows.

"...I did it...!" Hayho whispered.

Although it was a bright sunny day, she actually used magic power to cover herself and Zhang Su.

Is this the power of the "Shadow" pathway?Hayao's heart was racing.

In the past, it could only be used as a throwing knife, but it turned out that it could be used in this way. It was really eye-opening.

How did the director know?It seems like she knows her better than she knows herself.Hayho became more curious about the director, as if he knew everything.

"Now, be patient." Zhang Su raised his gun and aimed forward.
