1144 Commissioned by the Witch of the Wilderness1
To be honest, the employee benefits given by the eight-tailed cat company are indeed generous enough, just look at Hailey's passive skills - as long as she stands in front of the residents of Fairy Tale Town, her favorability will automatically increase by fifty points!
With this value in the end, if there are still people who directly kill her, I am afraid that it can only be explained by the word "madness".
Hailey, of course, also knew that she had a big benefit.
Even if she has signed a contract, more than half of her future earnings will be stripped by the company, and there is a basic rule that must be followed...... Overall, she feels that the future is still bright.
- Isn't it good to be a rabbit that everyone loves?
However, at this moment, in the face of this mysterious visitor, she didn't want to get close to her heart: "she" was too weird! It looks weak, but its aura is terrifying.
That invisible deterrent acted on the soul, so that Hayley did not dare to move.
Besides, the other party is a powerful character who lives in the wild, what help will he need? In other words, can she afford the help people want?!
"My dear ......," Hayley said solemnly in the chat room, "I shouldn't be able to help with this, after all, he is just an ordinary rabbit!" If you want to ask, you should ask, I have something to go first! β
As she spoke, she had already stepped away from Lan Shuying, slippery like a loach.
Hailey thinks that this is not called stage fright, but people know it!
"Oh, then you go."
Since she made a decision, Lan Shuying felt a pity, but she didn't say anything, anyway, she had said it before, and she would break up when she left the tunnel, uh...... It is separated.
She withdrew her gaze and looked at the approaching figure.
Under the extremely focused gaze, the other party's numerical value was presented in the ghost pupil: this body was not much different from that of ordinary old people, and even more weakened, showing that the other party was very old.
However, the value of soul vitality is particularly prominent.
This kind of person is usually a magician-type talent in her impression, generally called a magician, a wizard, a sage, a prophet, etc., which is quite common in fairy tales.
Look down.
She noticed something hanging from the old woman's blue plaid apron.
A folded hat with sharp corners.
There are also pockets of various colors.
As for the items in her pocket, it was a mess, with a variety of plants, strangely shaped plants, and powders ground to the finest level, reminiscent of materials for spellcasting.
In addition, there are miscellaneous items such as thin wires, scissors, bottles, etc., which are crowded together in a miniature form...... How complete is the variety? If the old woman wants, she can open a grocery store on the spot.
The old woman pressed her hands to the sides of her ears.
Her head was twice the size of a normal person, and it didn't match her thin body, and her whole body was bent forward so that her fat chin was next to her chest.
Lan Shuying didn't understand why she was walking with her head in her hands like this.
It wasn't until she appropriated the perspective of toffee and looked at it from the side that the answer was clear:
There was a crimson thread that split the crumpled neck in half.
- Her head was cut off!
Lan Shuying had such a scene in his mind:
In the barren mountains and mountains, there was a corpse lying on the ground with a different head, she got up by herself, picked up the severed head and put it back together, but she was afraid that it would fall from her neck, so she chose to fix it with her hands at any time......
Looking at the dress, this is probably the old witch character in a fairy tale.
Playing this kind of role is often an evil, crazy, and cautious vicious woman, who is often a bit stupid, and can always expose some weaknesses at critical moments, and then be eliminated by the protagonist in one fell swoop.
Lan Shuying is recalling, which story of the witch was cut off by her head?
It seems like a lot.
So, what did this person go through?
"Good Samaritan, will you help me?"
The old woman walked up to her and asked.
Lan Shuying asked tentatively, "Can I help?" β
She's just a rabbit that can walk upright, talk, and be about the size of a human child.
The old woman stared at her for a while, her lips squirmed, like an expired muffin piled with dust, and her tone trembled slightly, which was the tone peculiar to the old man:
"As long as your eyes can see...... Your hands can pick up needles and threads...... You are serious and do not shake your hands when you work...... Then you will definitely be able to help me. Don't worry, I'm just old and not demented...... I won't forget to pay you. β
Lan Shuying pondered slightly.
She seemed to know what she was going to do.
The person's head fell off, and he didn't die, and he still carried a needle and thread with him, perhaps because it was too inconvenient for the old man to do it himself, and two rabbits happened to pass nearby......
So, Lan Shuying subconsciously looked down at his hands, no, it was two rabbit claws.
She made a pinching motion......
Emmmm is a bit of a difficult question.
"What if you don't sew it well?"
A question interjected next to him.
Lan Shuying raised her eyes and saw the ambitious light in Hailey's eyes.
Seeing that the old woman needed more than one person, Hayley had not gone far after saying goodbye, and as soon as she heard the old woman's request, she simply came back by herself.
The old woman was interested in the owner of this voice.
She couldn't turn her head, so she turned slowly with her body.
This scene is especially terrifying under the cover of night.
Hailey gritted her teeth and persuaded herself in her heart: What are you nervous about, you yourself are an old ghost who has died hundreds of times, and this is a zombie in the sky...... Anyway,! See what benefits she can give.
The old woman smiled at her twice, her eyes shining strangely: "You can give it a try...... What will happen if you deliberately fail my trust......"
Hayley shrunk her neck: Sorry for the interruption!
"But ......"
The old woman's voice changed, and she laughed so much that the wrinkles were blooming.
"How can I bear to kill you like a lively and cute little rabbit like you...... As long as you can sew my head back completely, even if the stitches are ugly, I can ignore ......"
After the negotiation was settled, Hayley stepped past her former teammate, took the needle and thread from the old woman's hand, and sewed it carefully.
She bit the flashlight and sewed it from the back of the old woman's neck.
Because the old woman has a bad habit of hunching over and sticking her head forward, the front of her neck seems to be connected into a big lump, but the back of her neck is all exposed in sight, which is relatively easy to start.
And thenβ
"Oh! You're right! β
"Shhh...... You're hurting me again! β
"Wrong, wrong, this needle is in the wrong place!"
"You're perfunctory to me!"
"It's too slow! Don't your hands have eyes! β
β#$%*!@#β¦β¦β
Once the work officially began, the old woman became the irritable Zhou Papi, and she could no longer find the slightest tenderness for the "lively and cute little rabbit", which simply added to the difficulty.
"Little Rabbit" was scolded by her so much that he almost doubted his life.
Probably because of the double frustration of self-confidence and self-esteem, Hailey's hands are even less serious, her eyes are in a trance, the angle of the needle is getting stranger and stranger, the sewing is becoming more and more ugly, and she will miss a few stitches from time to time, and then go back and start again under the prompting of the old woman.
Lan Shuying stood on the side and watched the whole process, and she noticed that Hailey's legs were shaking, covered in sweat, and she was completely out of shape.
"Enough! That's enough! I've had enough of you, you stupid girl! β
The old woman snatched the needle and thread and waved her away, her eyes almost breathing fire.
Lan Shuying completely sensed that something was not quite right.
Now, the oversized head has been sewn in half.
Hayley started above the back of her spine, her centipede-like stitch to the left, just rounding a corner.
The ghost pupil can bring super high vision, and in Lan Shuying's opinion, she is watching a particularly clumsy surgery. Pulling a random student from medical school who can sew a banana peel is better than Hayley's performance just now.
The old woman didn't have blood vessels in her neck, so Hayley didn't have to think about how to pick it up, she just had to put her head back together as it was.
Lan Shuying still remembers that when Hailey first started, she was very skilled in threading needles and threads, and she should never sew like this:
The needle and thread were swollen everywhere they went, and slimy blood came out of the wrong needle hole, staining the sewing thread red, and continuing to dye the blouse red.
Lan Shuying closed her eyes.
It's miserable.
Who can bear this.
The old woman turned to her with her head in her hands: "You come and sew it for me." β
"Me?"
Lan Shuying raised two rabbit paws in embarrassment.
It's okay to box, but there's no need to talk about needlework.
Don't look for me, I really can't.
After she politely refused this request, the evening wind suddenly howled, and countless wind blades gathered in the sky above.
"That'...... I'll try it. β
"Be careful, she's ......" As soon as Hayley's voice rang out in the chat room, she was suddenly covered and could only whine.
Her eyes widened in horror.
The old woman said with a calm face: "It is forbidden to snitch. β
β¦β¦
"How do you feel, are you satisfied?"
As the last stitch was finished, Lan Shuying's heart was relieved, and she couldn't help but stumble.
No wonder Hayley's hint was blocked.
Remember the note about the chat room - if there is a third lifeform around, and the mental power is higher than the two of them combined, the conversation can be eavesdropped?
If the mental power is calculated according to the bodies of two rabbits, the old woman can fully meet the above conditions, and she prevents Hailey from revealing the situation, so Lan Shuying can only experience it herself.
When she picked up the needle and thread, there was nothing out of the ordinary.
But when she tried to stitch it up, the trouble came out.
Invisible tentacles sprang out of the wound on her neck, perhaps unconscious of their own, but they were actually interfering with her stitches.
Lan Shuying realized that after the old woman was decapitated, her body seemed to be unaffected, but in fact, something was wrong:
She can't control her own power!
Those tentacles are the energy that leaks out.
Why does Hayley sew badly?
Because the work is only deceptively simple, in fact, these energies must be calmed down in order for the needle to fall perfectly.
β¦β¦
The old woman tried to look up and down.
Shake left, shake right.
A smile finally appeared on his flabby face.
This smile is undoubtedly a signal of kindness, a hundred times more sincere than what she said before that she likes "lively and cute little bunnies"!
Hailey silently praised Lan Shuying.
Lan Shuying is tired enough, this is really not easy to help, the requirements for soul strength are too high, the key is that the old woman didn't say it before - does she want to be able to pit one?
"My head seems to be fine, and I can fix the rest by myself, it's just ...... I want to see how your needlework goes, and if you don't, I'll have to go back to a professional embroiderer...... Mirror, mirror, my mirror seems to have been lost on the road......"
The old woman muttered, her feet were like the wind, and she walked out a few meters in a blink of an eye, like Zhou Papi who was planning to repay her debts.
Lan Shuying jumped in front to stop her.
She reminded with a smile, "We're kind of helping, right?" Does the remuneration you are talking about still count? β
Without saying a word, the old woman took out two money bags from her bosom.
"One hundred gold coins for each of you, all in the bag!"
"It's gold...... Let me think about it. β
Lan Shuying looked disappointed, as if she was not interested and didn't want to take it, Hailey originally thought it was not bad, but seeing her like this, she silently withdrew her hand.
The old woman puffed out her cheeks, as if she was a little dissatisfied.
Lan Shuying tasted her eagerness and thought:
Hayley did the beginning, I finished, and they all helped her, so she had to pay as promised. But she was so anxious to send us away with gold...... Either there's something urgent to do, or ...... Remuneration is also negotiable.
"Old woman, what are you going to do in such a hurry?" She clichΓ©d.
The old woman hesitated for a moment and said, "Go to the wedding, the bride invited me to be a witness." β
Lan Shuying said, "Oh! When is the wedding? Bride, seems to be a witch as great as you? β
"She?"
The old woman smacked her lips, seemed to have a lot of grievances, directly ignored the previous question about the marriage date, and complained mercilessly.
"She's still a young man, and she's only learned Transfiguration well, and she's always changing things for her frog husband...... Those stupid little frogs thought they had fallen under the curse of some villain, but in fact she was playing with them, which was ridiculous. β
"Frog, husband?" Lan Shuying repeated strangely.
It reminded her of a ...... Old friend.
In Grimmtown, she was calculated by an otherworldly witch, so she calculated against the witch when the dust was about to settle:
She first threw the frog husband into the mirror, then kicked the witch in while she went to save the frog, and then closed the passageway, crushing a plot by the Seven Deadly Sins to invade the plane.
With any luck, the couple should be back in Fairytale Town.
If you're unlucky, you'll die in the passage.
Listening to the old woman, the witch is probably back, but she has more than one frog husband! β¦β¦ In other words, the original frog prince, dead?
The old woman then complained a few words.
In other words, it is simply an insult to the reputation of all witches that witches repeatedly raid their husbands and hold weddings in a big way!
Lan Shuying thought, then you still go to witness the marriage of others?
She asked the question tactfully.
"Hmph...... She's a good fate, she was born to be the only heir to the Dakosa family, the only one who can go to the Golden Orchard and pick golden apples......" The old woman licked her lips and showed a look of yearning, "That's a good thing." β
It turned out to be a temptation for profit.
"Oh, I can't delay with you any longer! I had to see her sooner! β
