Returning home with Lilian, Summer Night habitually looked at the crystal ball screen again.

Still haven't heard from Luca.

Five days had passed since the day the two had separated, and Luca had said that she would be informed of the news, but so far no information has come.

It seems that the search for "volunteers" is not going well?

Let's send a message and ask.

Just as she was about to do so, Luca's message happened to be sent:

[Recruited, have you time to meet in the morning?] 】

Xia Ye looked at the time, it was now half past nine in the morning, and he had originally planned to talk to Tang Li this morning about the communication and location of the Raid Witch, but since Luca took the initiative to meet, there must be something that needed to be discussed in person, and the arrangement to find Tang Li could only be postponed.

[At 10 o'clock, will we meet at the "Far Ship Rental"? She replied.

A moment later, Luca sent a message: [10 o'clock is estimated to be too late, 10:30? 】

[Okay.] 】

"Lilian, I'm going out again in a while, and I probably won't be back at noon."

"Oh, good~" Lilian nodded obediently and asked again, "What about the afternoon?" ”

Summer Night thought for a moment, "I should be back in the afternoon." ”

As soon as the words fell, the crystal ball sounded the message prompt of "Ding Dong", she picked it up and looked at it, it turned out to be a message from Tang Li:

[Sister Summer Night, can you get together at the next place, there are important things to discuss. ] 】

Belch......

If things don't come, they won't come, and when they come, they all come together.

"Lilian, it looks like I won't be able to come back in the afternoon." Summer Night said apologetically.

"Huh?"

"Tang Li came to me and said that there was something important to discuss. It just so happened that I was going to talk to her about how to contact the Strike Witch. ”

Lillian puffed out her cheeks a little angrily, but finally said, "Well, it's okay, Sister Summer Night should go and get busy." ”

……

At half past 10 o'clock in the morning, Xia Ye arrived at the "Far Ship Rental" on time, and before he landed, he saw a large number of people gathered in the square in front of the building.

“？”

What's going on? It can't be that "Far Ship Leasing" is engaged in a promotional sale, right?

She spun around the air twice before finally spotting Luca, who was standing in an inconspicuous corner. She lowered her broom and fell towards where the other man was standing.

"Luca."

Luca turned around when she heard the sound, saw that it was a summer night, and nodded to her, "You're here?" The people here haven't arrived yet, so it's estimated that they will have to wait for a while. ”

Xia Ye looked puzzled: "What hasn't arrived yet?" Why are there so many people here? ”

Luca tilted her head in confusion as well, "You asked me to get them, right?" ”

"Huh?"

"They're all people who came to apply to become cat witches."

“？？”

Hearing this, the doubts in Xia Ye's heart turned into surprise in an instant, she turned her head, looked at the crowd in the dark, and then turned back to look at Luca: "How many people have you recruited?" ”

"238." Luca replied precisely, "Since it was a short notice, there are only about a hundred people now, and the rest are still coming. ”

As she spoke, several more people flew in from a distance and landed on the square.

“2、238…… I thought I could only find twenty or thirty at most, and I even thought it would be nice to be able to find two or three. Summer Night exclaimed, "Luca, you're amazing! ”

Luca thought for a moment: "It's just a basic operation, after all, I've been a debt collector for so long, and I still have a little connection." However, it was a bit of a surprise to me that there were so many in the end, and I thought I could only find about a hundred. ”

Summer Night: "......"

Damn, it feels like she's pretending.

“…… So, how exactly do you do it? ”

"After separating from you that day, I immediately went to complete a debt collection commission, and after subduing the other party, I told her that if she didn't want to be a pet and couldn't pay off the debt, she could consider becoming a cat witch...... Then by the way, he explained to her what a cat witch is.

The other party didn't believe it at first, saying that this must be another trap in the upper city, and I heard that the big witch there likes to do human experiments the most...... She's right, I had to tell her that this was a commission from Lord Summer Night, and the last time they went to sea, someone managed to turn into a cat witch, don't you believe it?

"The other party was a little shaken after hearing this, so I simply brought her to the 'long-distance boat rental', Nana happened to be doing the test, she watched for a while, and immediately agreed. I told her that if you have someone else who is also bankrupt, you can tell them what you saw today, and that Lord Summer Night needs a lot of cat witches.

The other party agreed. For the next two days, we repeated the same process for each person we subdued. By the third day, some bankrupts had come to us and said that they were willing to become cat witches. Later, as there were more and more people, I simply pulled a round table tea party in the crystal ball and invited everyone who was willing to become a cat witch to come to the tea party. ”

Tea party? Oh yes......

Xia Ye was stunned for two seconds, and then reacted, the crystal ball did have this function, similar to the chat group of the past world.

"Look, this is it." To prove what she said, Luca handed the crystal ball screen to Summer Night.

At the top of the screen, it reads "Cat Witch's Round Table Tea Party", and there is the number "238" in parentheses at the back, which should be the number of people at the tea party.

In the chat box, there is a pinned announcement from Luca, which is a notice for everyone to meet at "Far Ship Rental" at 10:30 a.m.

"......" summer night didn't know what to say for a while.

At this moment, a new message popped up in the tea party: [The one standing next to Luca, it seems to be Lord Summer Night?] 】

[Hey, where, where? 】

[It seems to be true to look at the hair color]

[Has anyone checked it?] 】

……

In an instant, the chat in the tea party boiled. The corners of Xia Ye's mouth twitched, and then the expected voice came from behind him: "Please, excuse me, are you ......"

Summer Night quickly adjusts herself to "public mode" and turns around with a beautiful and calm smile:

"I'm a summer night."

……

After a few cordial exchanges and an impromptu speech, the girl was in complete control of the situation. She stood in the middle of the square, surrounded by a circle with a radius of about 2 meters, and outside the circle, everyone huddled together, looking at the summer night as if they were looking at the savior.

“…… I am not your savior. "Summer Night opened her arms and said to everyone.

"You are the only ones who can save you. And I, on the other hand, have only provided you with another way to save yourselves. ”

"But unfortunately, this path is not for everyone to be qualified to enter. Before eating the pupils, you first need to go through the most rigorous screening to determine if your body meets the most basic requirements to become a cat witch. For those who fail to pass the screening, we will report the failure of the commission to the debt collection client, and out of admiration for your courage, we will compensate each of you 10 moles, and then your debt collector may reissue the debt collection commission, hoping that you can find another way to complete the redemption of yourself. ”

"And for those who have passed the screening, congratulations, as long as you eat the pupils, no matter what the final result is, we will negotiate with your creditors to forgive your debts. You are the ones who are fortunate enough to step into this path, but at the same time, I have to tell you honestly that not everyone will be able to complete this path, some will die halfway through, and only the victors will be able to join us in the journey to the Aether......"

As things turned out far beyond expectations, Summer Night had to adjust its itinerary for the day. The arrangement to go to Tang Li's house in the afternoon was canceled, and Tang Li was called by her to "distant boat rental".

At about noon, all 238 "cat volunteers" finally arrived, and in order to prevent accidents, Curran personally led a group of employees to the scene to maintain order.

"It's time to start, Sister Tang Li." Summer Night whispered to Tang Li, who came to the scene.

"Hmm."

The girl answered, uncovering the blindfold and removing the golden pupils from her sockets. With a few quick whispered words, the pupils of his eyes "buzzed" from his palms.

A few seconds later, there was an exclamation from the crowd, and a huge golden eye with a diameter of nearly 100 meters appeared in midair, looking down with a sense of oppression.

A few days ago, Tang Li recorded Nana's physical condition in the process of turning into a cat through the "True Eye", and through comparison, the "True Eye" was able to screen out the people who were suitable to become a cat witch.

Screening was done quickly. Golden filaments of light shot out from the giant eye, leaving marks on those who met the conditions.

- A total of 149 people were eliminated, and only 89 people passed the screening and were eligible to eat the pupils of Shogues.
