Chapter Eighty-Nine: Ambush and Interrogation
Qicao and Eighteen sat in the tent of the bandit coalition in a trance, and the gorgeous ghost mask was held in her hand. Sitting opposite her was Lan Ning www.biquge.info, who was even more dazed than her, and several other coalition commanders.
At noon on July 30th, Qicao 18 led his subordinate witches to the supply camp and joined the witches guarding the camp. The camp was already full of supplies, and there were hundreds of outer witches sitting on the ground resting. These witches are very loose, and most of them are not wearing masks.
The newly appointed Qicao 18 did not know the witch who guarded the camp, but the camp commander recognized herβher voice, to be exact.
"You're the Eighteenth Lady of the Seven Grasses?"
The man's voice was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember who the other party was.
"I'm Sixteen Rock Seventeen, don't you remember me?"
"Sixteen Rocks Seventeen?"
"Uh-huh! I graduated under you! β
As soon as the other party said this, she remembered that when she was working in the apprenticeship camp, she did have such a student. Sixteen Rock Seventeen was followed by a tall Zhu Wu Maiden, who seemed to be a close confidant of Sixteen Rock Seventeen.
"I didn't expect to see you here!"
"Me too."
Qicao Eighteen smiled with relief, but the other party couldn't see the smile under her ghost mask.
"When were you promoted?"
Sixteen Yan Seventeen was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.
"Hehe, I've been here all year now! The work here is boring! β
"Indeed." Qicao Eighteen nodded, "But it's good to be bored and boring, at least it's freer here." β
"That's what you said."
"Alright, that's all for gossip. Twelve springs and six, take people to count the offerings. Sixteen Rocks Seventeen, give me a brief update on the security of the camp this month. β
Sixteen Yan Seventeen was stunned again after hearing this, and then he smiled and pointed to a bench in the distance and said.
"Seven grasses and eighteen adults, let's go sit over there and talk, shall we?"
Qicao Eighteen felt that this person was a little strange, but he didn't think much about it, and followed Sixteen Yan Seventeen to the bench and sat down. In the meantime, her people have completely dispersed because there are so many offerings that need to be counted.
At the moment when Qicao Eighteen sat down, the Zhu Wu Maiden standing behind Sixteen Rocks and Seventeen suddenly strangled her neck. At the same time, the evil witches who were sitting and resting near the offerings also took action and launched an attack on the subordinates of the Seven Grass Eighteen. Several of them fought against one person, just to capture each other alive.
However, the shrine maidens are not so easy to deal with, just a few breaths, and more than a dozen evil witches have been slashed. In desperation, the witch who strangled the neck of the seven grasses and eighteen could only tear open her voice and shout in a clear male voice.
"Come and help!"
Before the words were spoken, hundreds of officers and soldiers were drilled out around the camp. After they joined, the job of subduing the Black Shrine shrine maiden became much easier.
Among the officers and soldiers were several witch maidens dressed in red and white witch suits, who immediately dragged the wounded down from the battlefield and treated them with their abilities as soon as they entered the camp.
Originally, Qicao Eighteen wanted to fight with the other party to break the net, but the moment she saw those shrine maidens, she suddenly gave up resistance and remained motionless like a corpse.
The teenager who strangled her by the neck thought that he had accidentally strangled her to death, and quickly released his arm to check her pulse. After making sure that the other party was still alive, he calmed down, took the rope from Sixteen Yan Seventeen, and tied Qicao's hands behind his back. After thirty minutes of busy work, all the shrine shrine shrine maidens scattered throughout the camp were captured alive, and a few who almost committed suicide were rescued by the genuine shrine maidens.
In this way, Qicao-18 and her subordinates became prisoners of the bandit coalition.
As early as three days ago, the bandit coalition had occupied this material camp, and all the witches in the camp had died in battle, and several of the wounded who had been rescued with great difficulty had also committed suicide.
In desperation, Maier can only let the people of Jiumu Thirty-three play the role of the witch who guards the camp. The witches in the camp were all people who had surrendered to Myr. The reason why they dared to do something to the people of the Black Shrine was because Maier had promised them that if the Black Shrine was breached, they would be given their freedom, and they could also be provided with a way to travel.
The female presences of the Sixteen Rocks and Seventeen Witches is the little bird. At first, Yishan wanted to play this role, but her aristocratic temperament was too strong to play this kind of villain role. After this, Kuki Thirty-three volunteered, and Maier wanted to agree, but Yishan and Euris firmly opposed because they didn't trust her.
The only people that Mel can trust to play this role are Xiaoye and Xiaobird. Xiao Ye's acting skills are not good enough, and he is easy to get nervous, so this heavy responsibility falls on Xiao Bird. Judging by the birdie's final performance, Mel's decision was undoubtedly the right one.
Although Xiaotori was born as an evil witch, she didn't know anything about wishing witches, so she was stunned twice. Even so, she managed to get the word round with her quick wit.
As for the big man who has been standing behind the bird, it is Maier.
When Yishan proposed this plan, Maier was 10,000 reluctant in his heart. To his surprise, Euris agreed to the plan. He knew that Yishan wanted to take the opportunity to take revenge on him for not letting her play the role of the camp commander, but why did Ulis also follow suit?
The answer is simple, because Her Royal Highness the Princess, who is bent on chasing Mair into her hands, also has a temper. Maier's ambiguous attitude made her very unhappy, and after saying soft words to Yishan in the city lord's mansion, this dissatisfaction swelled like a leavened dough in the oven.
Now that there is finally a chance to punish Myer, how could Euris let it go? She knew that Maier would definitely not hate herself because of this, so she would unscrupulously support Yishan's plan.
In this way, Mel is forced by two girls who love her to put on the largest black and white witch costume. Maier has not long hair, and at Yishan's suggestion, Maier found Jiumu Thirty-three, who had a hair color similar to her own, and had very long hair, and euphemistically expressed that she wanted to borrow her hair. Hearing this, Kuki Thirty-three did not hesitate to borrow scissors and cut off his waist-length long hair with a click, after which Kugi Thirty-three became shoulder-length short hair.
Yishan asked the attendant maid to make a wig out of Kugi's thirty-three hair and put it on for Maier herself. After this, everyone in the tent was stunned.
Who is this beauty!!
Mel's appearance is already very delicate, and his skin is also very delicate. It's just that he is very manly in his gestures on weekdays, and his hair is relatively short, so everyone doesn't notice this problem at all. But after putting on the wig, his delicate facial features will become obvious, and with the face slightly red from shame, judging from the appearance alone, this is a girl in leather armor.
After changing into a black and white witch costume, Mel completely "became" a girl - by the way, the male Adam's apple of the Letin people was so small that it was barely noticeable if you didn't look closely. So even if he wants to show his masculinity as much as possible, in the eyes of others, it's just a beautiful girl with some boyishness.
It's like we've opened a door that shouldn't be opened.
Yishan and Euris glanced at each other, and both saw a tangled heart behind each other's eyes.
After the successful ambush, Maier ran back to his tent as fast as he could, took off his shrine maiden costume and wig, and changed into leather armor. By the time he returned to the supply camp, the captured witches had been tightly tied, and their mouths were gagged with rags.
Then came the interrogation time.
In fact, after Maier heard the name "Seven Grass Eighteen" from the bird's mouth, he made up his mind to meet this person for a while. At his suggestion, the first person to be interrogated was Qicao-18.
During the interrogation, Qicao 18 was very cooperative. She didn't ask anything more than ask Mel to release her, and answered every question Mel asked honestly.
Everyone learned about the existence of the "transit station" from the seven grasses and eighteen mouths. In fact, the supplies from the supply camp will not be transported directly to the Black Shrine, but to a place called a transfer station, and will only be sent back to the Black Shrine in batches after confirming that it is safe.
In addition, Qicao Eighteen also honestly explained the location of the ten apprenticeship camps of the evil witch, the location of the Black Shrine, and the reason why he did not brainwash the apprentice witch.
"I don't want to do things that desperately...... They are human beings too...... There is also the power to live......"
At this point in the interrogation, Qicao Eighteen did not reveal any news unfavorable to the Rimi Shrine, which couldn't help but make Lan Ning breathe a sigh of relief. Lan Ning would never have imagined that it was her self-righteous action that broke the last psychological defense line of Qicao Eighteen.
"Why?"
Qicao Eighteen, who had been loosened, suddenly took off his mask, and his fingers were tightly clasped on it, looking in a trance.
"Why betray us...... Why...... Clearly...... You sent me here in the first place...... It's your ......."
Qicao Eighteen turned his gaze to Lan Ning in a daze, and the eyes of the others also looked over.
ββ¦β¦ I understand...... I understand...... I understand...... You don't need us anymore...... You're going to abandon us...... We are all outcasts...... Grass...... Flower...... Hehe...... Hehehe...... I understand...... We have been outcasts from the beginning...... It's so heartless...... It's so ruthless......"
Obviously, Qicao Eighteen's words were addressed to Lan Ning. After hearing these words, Lan Ning's head "buzzed" - Rimi Shrine is really connected to the evil witch.
After that, the scene at the beginning of this chapter occurs.
After being in a trance for a short while, Lan Ning stood up and yelled at the Qicao ******.
"What nonsense are you talking about!! How could you have been sent by us! I don't even know you! β
Lan Ning, who was shaken in his heart, had obviously lost his mind. In this case, it is more useful to ignore the other person's words directly, or to calmly indicate that the other person may be insane, rather than shouting indiscriminately. The more excited she was and the more she denied it, the more it gave people the feeling that she had a ghost in her heart.
"I don't know you either, little girl." Qicao Eighteen smiled, "When I was recommended as the chief witch, the current great witch was still in the apprenticeship camp. But I witnessed the whole process of that adult's promotion from the apprentice shrine maiden to the shrine maiden, and then the shrine maiden to the elder witch, and finally the heir by the former great shrine maiden. If you are not convinced, I can name a few names that are very familiar to you, but very unfamiliar to outsiders. For example, Chang Yong, Chang He, Chang Ping, and Chang Zan, these four people were all recommended as maidens at the same time as me, and they should also be recommended as long witches by now - by the way, my name is Changrong. β
As soon as these words came out, the audience was stunned.
