Chapter Eighty-Nine
On a simple blackboard, chalk is densely drawn with geometric figures and calculation formulas.
In this regard, not only the Gretel sisters and brothers said that they were "unconscious", but Jason and Rollol and a group of slivers and ruffians also said that they couldn't understand that the serial killers of 147 people used mathematical formulas to kill people?
In fact, that's pretty much it.
However, in this world, there are no more than three people who can understand it.
Ann Liu, Lorel, and Mr. Thomas himself.
This is no longer the original Earth Realm, so Mr. Killer only needs to consider the success rate of the murder process and the retreat route, and does not need to consider dealing with the police or pretending to be an accident.
After some rigorous calculations, Mr. Thomasson said that if "witchcraft" were not taken into account, the murder would be simpler than on Earth.
Originally, under Jessie's excellent communication skills, the local senior witch hunter Gretel and her brother said that they could help these "rookies" kill the wild thorn witch for free without pay. Their intentions are also good, these recruiters don't look like professional witch hunters, but more like scholars, maids, guards, and those curious noble children, and the two siblings show up to say that they have a fight with witches, and they will know that witches are powerful, and they will not seek this kind of stimulation in the future.
However, as the old saying goes, cannibalism has a short mouth, and under the food offensive of Liu An and Peter, who are not the same, they have already considered whether to be the two siblings who are escorting Liu An and Lorel, just like the mood of helplessly accompanying their employers to mess around, cooperating with the actions of the combatants.
Liu An and Lorel have strong aura, and after observing for a few days, they know that the two of them have a lot of say in the team, like the children of nobles; And Mr. Thomasson has hidden himself too well and for too long, so he is not sharp. So it looks more like a scholar who serves the two, and as for the others, they are all subconsciously classified by the two sisters and brothers in the column of guards and retinues.
If anything, Gretel and Hansel were also a little curious about the ambush designed by Mr. Thomason.

Every once in a while, the Thorn Witch would ride the flying branches to the junction of the Silent Woodlands and the Kingdom of Saasfoster. There, somewhere in a valley covered by dense vegetation, there was a hunter's hut, which was actually a stronghold for a gang of thieves to sell their stolen goods and make shady deals with witches.
To be honest, it's hard to spot this place with these immature draftees alone. But the Wild Thorn Witch is so arrogant that every time she comes here on a flying branch, she makes no secret of it, and she never thinks of taking a small step forward in the development of technology. There will be telescopes that can observe her outside of her range of perception, so the Recruiter team not only found this hidden trading base, but also figured out the pattern that she would go out to trade about every 5 days.
The Wild Thorn Witch has a very brutal appearance...... She has green vertical pupils, her hair is disheveled, and her face has a thick layer of whitish cuticles like a geisha, covered with tears, no eyebrows, and dark lips. Inside was a mouthful of fangs with black and yellow spots.
That's pretty much what all black witches do, eh. In this world, the difference is that on her straight back, there are some irregular bone spurs coming out of her clothes, and she is covered in rags, and she doesn't know how long she hasn't changed her clothes, she shouldn't have changed her clothes since she grew bone spurs.
When flying in the sky. A messy head of hair and strips of cloth on her body fluttered behind her, but there was a bit of a fluttering rush, if you ignore her face.
She is used to flying above the treetops, which is a good habit, and she can escape into the forest below at any time. Dodge sudden cold arrows or magic missiles.
After flying out of the silent woodland, the trees become sparse and the surrounding terrain is relatively flat, and some signs on the ground need to be compared to be used to locate and confirm the direction.
She chose two tall fir trees, the branches of which had been pruned as she had flown past her thousands of times, so that they would not suddenly whipped her body, but even if she suddenly bumped into a branch, or simply hit the trunk, it would not hurt her much, at most she would have a nosebleed and a little skin scratched, and the witchcraft had made her body dull to pain.
Today, too, after flying out of the woodland, she saw two fir trees in the distance, and she lowered her altitude to prepare to fly between the two firs, and she performed this flight a thousand times, and each time the flight altitude error was even less than one centimeter.
Looking down from above, as she passed through the straight line formed by the two firs, a black line seemed to appear in front of her eyes, and then, as if her head had hit something, the bodies of the two fir trees shook violently, making a rattling sound.
There was also a slight metallic screech in the air, like the sound of waving wire.
It is a high-strength steel wire, if it were an ordinary person, if she collided with it at this speed, the sharp steel wire would definitely cut into the skull, lift off the heavenly spirit cover, and sprinkle the hot brain pulp to the earth.
The witch's body was thrown forward in half a circle under inertia, and although the cuticle on her forehead was thick, she couldn't withstand the force, and she was scraped off by the steel wire and scalp, although it was dull, but the pain was still there, and her hands couldn't help but make protective movements, and the flying branch under her body that didn't meet the aerodynamic standards at all seemed to suddenly hang on something, throwing her body out of the curtain.
It's another steel wire.
"Ah——!!!!!!!h
The witch let out a terrible scream, making a parabolic movement at a height of about twelve meters, but in fact, she had already pulled out the wand in her arms, held her forehead with one hand, and her eyes rolled around, summoning a cloud of black mist around her, even if there was a concrete floor below, she would not be hurt if she fell on it.
"OK, everything is going according to the plan, the flying branch has been separated from the target, and no matter what, her high-speed flight ability has been nullified"
In the distant observation pit, Mr. Thomason, who was watching this closely with his telescope, said to himself, with Lorrell and Jessie by his side, and then lowered his voice and whispered in a volume that only he could hear.
"It's a pity that I couldn't strangle my neck...... Otherwise, it is very likely that the head will be cut off directly...... Tsk, too greedy."
This was a very important part of the battle plan, and based on the intelligence, Mr. Thomas judged that the flying branch could only be controlled after riding on it, and could not be remotely controlled. If the witch is stronger than expected, without this flying tool, the recruiters have a good chance of escaping.
Conversely, the Drafter's advantage over the Witch would prevent her from escaping, at least not so easily.
12 meters in height. Arc-shaped landing trajectory, about 2 seconds of falling to the ground.
The Wild Thorn Witch's legs were thrust into the ground without resistance.
In other words, she fell into the trap that the combat team had spent three days digging and camouflaging.
Seeing this scene, everyone who was ambushed around unconsciously glanced back at Mr. Thomason's location, and the good disguise made it impossible for them to see him, although they knew his exact location.
It's all calculated? With only two tightrope wires laid out in the sky, how did he calculate the exact flight altitude of the witch? And there was only one pit dug down there with such a size of 4X4X4 meters, how could he be sure that the witch would definitely fall within this range?
Click! Snort snort - woo, whoosh!
The witch fell into the pit and caused a series of noises. And let out an exclamation, she's not dead!
Two bent trees straightened violently, and a large net made of ropes, with countless metal hooks tied to it, was abruptly erected by the ropes, and then laid on top of the pit according to the designed trajectory.
“Now! Now, do it! ”
The radio channel heard the sniper Carter's high-pitched electronic voice. He has already confessed his identity as Nelson.
Tom, tom!
The planks are turned up. The two figures swooped out of the lurking pit, and after each pulling down the pull ring of a string of melon grenades in their hands, they threw themselves into the pit, and rolled outward on the spot without looking at the result.
It's Jason and Roroll, this flurry of action. They have been practicing for days.
After getting up, the two of them ran for their lives, running to the next lurking point, where someone answered them.
In the pit behind him, several rays of black gas flew out. The Wild Thorn Witch was standing knee-deep in a viscous liquid, firing lethal magic outward.
She didn't realize what kind of terrible incendiary she was falling into, she just felt that these mucus that had no head and no face all over her body, slightly exuding a pungent smell and the sweet smell of sugar, was too sticky, and she didn't know that the egg-shaped object that had just fallen into these earth-made Motorov cocktails with enough black ingredients would be a hundred times more powerful than the alchemy powder made in this world.
By the way, these melon grenades were also modified by Mr. Thomason to fill with an excessive amount of black material, lest they trigger an incendiary agent with excessive adhesion to ignite.
"Collapse—"
Liu An, who was observing with a telescope from a distance, had a smile on the corner of his mouth and gently spit out this word.
Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom
It was like a volcano erupting, and in a series of explosions, the mouth of the crater on the ground spat out red flames several meters high.
After a few seconds, smoke billowed and flames that had been slightly reduced in height burned violently, leaving the crater in shambles, with deadly viscous incendiary material flying everywhere.
"Stay vigilant"
Mr. Thomasson's voice rang out over the radio channel.
"Hold your positions for now, how are the two of you doing with Rorol and Jason, have you been touched by the flying inclamenuary?"
"Safe Base"
"Nope"
That's when "Ah——!!!!!! A terrible scream came from the pit, which scared everyone.
"What, what the hell?"
"How is that possible?"
"WTF, ...... you didn't die like this?"
“……”
Mr. Thomasson's caution prevented casualties on the team.
The Wild Thorn Witch, covered in flames, danced wildly, and didn't know what Lu Dao had done, and popped out of the pit.
"Ahh
She screamed as hard as she could, dragging smoke and flames, and running at a speed that ordinary people could not reach. At the same time, a large area of flammable gas was ignited with a flame effect that accompanied the "exhale", indiscriminately emitting weakened black mist rays into the surroundings.
This madness and immortality scared everyone.
"Carter, take her knees"
But it didn't include Liu An, he picked up the walkie-talkie and said in a relaxed tone.
"Huh? Oh, received"
The sniper receives the order, and 2 seconds later, a less noticeable gunshot is heard. Both of the legs of the Wild Thorn Witch were broken from her knees by a bullet 500 meters away. She threw herself to the ground, letting out oozing cries and struggles, still crawling in a certain direction, her clothes burned and her hair burned. Flesh boiled, and sparks kept falling from his body like coals...... It took a long time before it gradually weakened.
It took a few more moments for all Recruiters to receive a kill prompt.
"Hint: Kill [Wild Thorn Witch], Mission Accomplished"
"Hint: You can choose to stay in this world until the mission time ends, or return to Gaudí's world"
"Tip: Pay 500 Survival Points to extend your stay in the Realm for 3 months"
"Hint: After returning to Gaudí's realm, the completion of the mission will be evaluated (this is a newcomer's prompt, and will not appear again in the future)"
"Tip: Keep killing other witches to help improve the completion of this mission"

Gretel and Hansel stood at the top of the mountain. Look at it all with the binoculars that the conscripts gave them.
The younger brother Hansel put the primitive shotgun like a hand cannon on his shoulder and exclaimed:
"Wow"
Sister Gretel said:
"Looks like we don't have a chance to play, did you see that these guys can shoot their targets with muskets from a distance of almost 1 mile?"
"I like Mr. Thomason more of a resource, Gretel, it looks like we're going to school......"
"It's not funny, I'm almost thirty...... I'm not even thirty years old."
"You're over thirty ...... Yes! Okay okay, you're not thirty"
※I ※ is ※ evil ※ evil ※ ※ divides ※ cut ※ thread※
(Peter?) Parker's own statement)
I don't know what the road is for. Master.shifu didn't let Carter kill the witch on the spot.
All of us kept our eyes on her, how she wailed. How did she struggle, how did she die...... It's a bad feeling, but for the first time, everyone really understands what kind of life, or destiny, we are going to face in the future.
Including me.
After that, Hal and Louie continued to monitor the direction of the thief's stronghold, while we searched the witch's body.
A wand encrusted with a Soul Snatcher Gem. Only this one survived intact.
According to the Gretel siblings, the Soul Reaver Gem was originally just an ordinary opal, and the Black Witches used a vicious ritual to sacrifice humans alive and extract their souls. Instilled with such a Soul Reaver Gem, it is used to assist in manipulating and amplifying sorcery, and if you want to use it, of course, you need to practice black magic beforehand.
I suppose at that time, Lorel and Jessie still had the intention of becoming a witch, right? But after visiting the Wild Thorn Witch's quarters, they dismissed the idea.
God testifies that the curiosity museum soaked in formalin with human organs and filled with human specimens is only pediatric compared to it, and this is the most disgusting place I have ever seen.
(Fill in the footage yourself, there are all sorts of corpses with no skin hanging from the iron hooks, piles of skeletons and bones, huge iron cauldrons bubbling hot, and human ribs tumbling...... )
For a few days after that, we didn't have meat on our menu, fruit salad, vegetable salad, pasta and so on.
After a few more days, we all decided to return to Gaudí's realm.
If everyone pays a total of 500 survival points, and the remaining mission time is added to three months, we may still hunt witches in the other two places, but in fact, everyone needs to pay 500 survival points, Mr. Thomasson estimates that it will take a month to observe a witch and formulate an assassination plan, which is not counting the time we are in a hurry, at this time we have been in this world for 64 days, so we simply chose to return to Gaudí's world.
The process of returning is very mysterious, we walked into the forest under the inexplicable prompting, the forest unconsciously rose mist, a trance, and when we came back to our senses, we appeared on a huge floating stone platform.
This is a level 5 main city in Gaudí's realm, the name is Konon Sadu, and newcomers have the preferential treatment of staying here for three days.
Kononsa is a city full of imagination, with a quaint style that goes straight to the sky totem pole, which is a shamanic totem pole that provides basic energy and transmission nodes for the city; The streets are three-dimensional, with huge stones carved out to form buildings like floating islands, which are connected to each other by chains...... The ground doesn't look dark, and there are countless streetlights-like devices on both sides of the road, and of course, there are darker areas.
It may seem redundant to go into detail about this city, because we will not be eligible to enter here for a long time to come, but I will still say that it is so strange that the recruiters who live here, like people, not like people, like monsters, not like monsters...... They only have one rule, and that is that they can only use two of them even if they have wings...... They can only walk on the ground on their feet, and some recruits have more than two feet, some have no feet.
Anyway, after agreeing to meet in the village, I went back to my bedroom at home.
Looking at the familiar room and bed, everything that happened seemed like a ridiculous dream, but I was still wearing a camouflage uniform, and there was an iron pot hanging on the backpack behind me, which contained oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, kitchen knives, cutting boards, ropes, and spatula......
And Master.shifu! He stood abruptly in my sight, just after the spatula.
“Holy?_crap! Why are you here" I jumped up in fright.
"Comic posters, there are only games and movies in the computer, there are 20G love action movies, and more than two-thirds of them are animated ......"
"Wait, what are you doing, how can you touch my personal belongings casually" I felt a fever on my face, but there was nothing I could do to stop Master.shifu from continuing to check my bedroom.
"There's a boy's secret treasure chest under the bed, these suspicious toilet paper balls in the paper basket, oh hehe, how many descendants have you dried on it?"
I suppressed the secret treasure chest alive and dead, and did not let Master.shifu open it, saving what little dignity I had, and called it "Temperance" in Chinese......
"Oh, Louisian, I beg you, don't rummage through my stuff anymore"
"Aha, the point is not these stupid people, the point is how I came to your house with you, and why can I return to the real world like you?"
I was stunned.
"Does it matter?"
I didn't realize that anyone else could not return to the realm of the real world.
Master.shifu looked at me with an idiot and picked at his ears. (To be continued......)
