Chapter 670: Demolition and Recruitment

"Tsk, it stinks."

Dorothy stopped more than ten meters away from Izanagi.

There was no helping it; the stench of the demon saliva ahead was truly on par with a mop dipped in excrement—it was simply invincible.

Although the Home Witch really wanted to go up and declare judgment on Izanagi, she thought about it and decided to switch to a different method of judgment.

"Sinner Izanagi, colluding with the Abyss, plotting rebellion, evidence is conclusive. By the law, you deserve death. Execute immediately. Gate of the Netherworld, open!"

Dorothy proclaimed, and following her words, the phantom of the Ghost Gate rose slowly behind her.

Izanagi, who was already looking at Dorothy in terror, was caught off guard and saw this exquisite yet eerie and terrifying gate.

The immortal witch's expression changed instantly; she felt a life-and-death crisis, but it was already too late.

The Ghost Gate opened at an unimaginable speed, and before the gate had even cracked open, countless soul-snatching chains had already extended from behind it, piercing through Izanagi's body.

Then, the chains tightened, and a phantom soul was ripped out from the witch's body.

It was a man with a handsome but cold and gloomy temperament.

The Ghost Gate also opened completely, but the figures behind the gate were no longer the White Impermanence, Ox-Head, and Horse-Face that Dorothy was familiar with.

This time, there were only two people behind the gate, one tall and one short.

The tall one wore a judge's robe; although she was a woman, her appearance was handsome and unrestrained.

The short one wore a black royal robe, her delicate face set in a stern expression, radiating a terrifying majesty that did not match her petite stature.

"Siji Yanluo demands your death at the third watch; no one shall keep you until the fifth. Izanagi, it is time for you to go on your way."

The handsome judge said, then gave a tug on the soul-snatching chain in her hand, pulling the man's soul forward.

Izanagi was unwilling to be captured without a fight; even though only his soul remained, he still tried to struggle, but when the petite Siji Yanluo glanced at him, he felt like a frog stared at by a snake, losing all ability to resist.

"This power... you've broken through?"

Izanagi's face changed. He looked at this ghost god who possessed the aura of his wife in disbelief.

"Impossible, how could you break through? How could you break through so easily?"

Thick black energy erupted from his soul, making him look ferocious and terrifying.

He was truly unwilling and unable to accept the reality. How could this younger sister, whom he had always kept behind him and ordered around at will, break through before him?

It was one thing to lose to that New Saint, but how could he be inferior to this useless sister?

Back then, in order to swallow the Saint's power alone, he had decided to abandon this useless sister and break ties with her. But now, he had achieved nothing, while this useless sister had easily taken a step forward and achieved the Golden Immortal realm.

He could not accept such a result.

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

"Izanami, hurry and help me kill that New Saint. As long as you kill her, I can still accept you."

He subconsciously ordered his wife around just as he had in the past.

In his mind, this sister should have been ordered around at will by him just like before.

"Father, it is a pity. The Izanami who was ordered around at will by you is dead. Have you forgotten? It was you who personally severed her path to resurrection. Standing before you now is only the daughter of Izanami, the Yama of the Four Seasons."

Siji Yanluo said coldly.

The judge lady to the side stretched out a hand to pick up the small girl, allowing her to look down at this sinful soul.

Yama of the Four Seasons reached out, pinched Izanagi's chin, and examined him carefully.

"Tsk, what kind of aesthetic did Mother have? Such an ugly and useless piece of trash is truly not worth wasting half a sentiment on."

Siji Yanluo deeply despised her past life; after reincarnating, she took a very open view of emotions. Sure enough, things like love only make people stupid.

Thinking this, she didn't care about the crazy words Izanagi, who had completely collapsed and fallen into demonic ways, was saying, such as "A daughter should listen to her father, I command you..." She simply exchanged a look with Dorothy, nodded, and then the Ghost Gate closed slowly again.

The judge lady smiled and waved at the Courtesan lady not far away, then holding her superior in one hand and the soul-snatching chain in the other, she walked slowly into the depths of the Huang Quan.

"Thud."

The gate of the Netherworld closed tightly again, and everything returned to calm.

The onlookers, the witches, were silent, and many were even so scared that they wanted to stay far away.

Before, when Izanagi's terrifying Demonic Buddha body appeared, these onlookers weren't even scared, but now they were truly a bit afraid.

After all, that was the Huang Quan.

Unlike witches in the outside world who could be resurrected if they had money, for them, whose path to the Huang Quan had always been blocked, life was truly only once; once dead, everything was gone.

Therefore, they looked at Dorothy, who could summon the Ghost Gate, with a few more parts of awe.

Even Konoe Maki, the Chief of the Security Bureau, was the same.

There was no helping it; the environment of the Yingzhou Island was such that no matter how high one's strength was, one would still fear death.

"My lord, what are your plans next?"

Konoe Maki hesitated slightly, but finally came up to ask.

That battle just now had made her completely understand the terrifying power of this little witch who looked quite weak, so the Chief was now a bit cautious.

Dorothy stretched out a magic tentacle, picked up the demon blade Kureha from Izanagi's unconscious body with some disgust, and without waiting for this seductive woman to say any more nonsense, she snapped the demon blade, which had returned to a near-shattered state after losing Izanagi's power, into two pieces.

Hmm, that felt much better.

She tossed the broken demon blade aside, looked at Kureha, who had revealed her true form after death and was cut in two, and the Home Witch let out a breath.

Afterwards, she reached out and grabbed the three strands of Dragon Vein power that were about to dissipate along with their host.

Because Izanagi had truly died this time, these three strands of dragon energy, which had originally been polluted by his evil thoughts, had begun to gradually return to normal. These were good treasures.

After doing all this, the Home Witch turned her head to look at the Chief who was waiting for her reply.

"I said before, our Witch's Home is a serious construction society. Naturally, the next step is to fulfill the promise of building a public toilet here. Oh, by the way, Chief, besides this plot of land, I also bought some other plots from the Amaterasu Shrine, but if everyone is as resistant to relocation as this, our work will be very difficult to carry out."

Dorothy said with a sigh while taking a thick stack of land deeds out of her pocket. She looked at the Chief before her and blinked.

Konoe Maki: "..."

You've probably bought the entire Yingzhou Island, haven't you?

Looking at the demolition plan in the Home Witch's hand, the Chief couldn't help but complain in her heart.

However, Konoe Maki, who was very understanding of human affairs, had already grasped the meaning of this terrifying little witch. She immediately stepped forward, patted her bulging chest, and guaranteed.

"My lord, I understand your difficulties. Since you have the legal procedures from the Shrine, our Security Bureau will definitely strive to defend your legitimate rights and interests."

"That is truly very kind of you."

Dorothy also looked very grateful as she tightly gripped the hand of this beautiful Chief.

Then she handed the land deeds in her hand to Konoe Maki and watched her reaction quietly.

When the Chief reached out to take the land deeds and just took one look, she was stunned.

She was very familiar with the area drawn on the first page of that thick stack of land deeds, because that was her family's territory.

As one of the top five noble families on Yingzhou Island, and one of the two strongest among them, the Konoe family could be said to have overwhelming power. While holding the security system of Yingzhou Island, they also had vast territories.

And now, her family's territory was drawn on this demolition plan.

"What's wrong, Chief? Is there anything else you need to ask? Feel free to ask, I will tell you everything I know."

Dorothy looked at Konoe Maki, whose hands were trembling slightly, and asked with a smile.

The Chief took a deep breath, finally looked up, looked at this terrifying little witch with a solemn gaze, and asked seriously.

"May I ask, my lord, what is your next plan after demolishing these lands? This is a good place; are you planning to build a palace or something?"

Konoe Maki stared tightly at the person before her, observing her reaction.

"A palace? Why would I build that? As you said, this is a blessed land with fertile soil, sufficient water sources, and distinct seasons. Isn't it most suitable for farming?"

Dorothy looked at the Chief before her speechlessly.

"Farming?"

Konoe Maki was stunned. She had thought of many things, but she never expected this answer.

"Farming requires a lot of manpower."

She said.

"That is indeed a problem. Our society currently lacks nothing but manpower. Why don't you do this? When you handle the demolition, please help us ask if anyone is willing to join our society."

"However, our society was just established, and we spent our entire budget buying land from the Shrine. If there are too many people, we might not make ends meet, so we will use the right to use the spiritual fields as collateral, and then distribute nine-tenths of the annual output of the spiritual fields as employee wages."

"Chief, what do you think of my method?"

The Home Witch put on a very troubled look, and after much thought, said this.

Konoe Maki: "..."

Isn't this just white-collar exploitation?

The Chief subconsciously wanted to curse, but she thought about it carefully, pondered deeply, and then was suddenly stunned.

"My lord, do you mean that every new employee will have a spiritual field?"

She asked.

"Of course, our society values fairness and justice the most. People-oriented and pay-for-performance are our society's tenets. Look, with such a large territory, isn't it enough for every new member to have work to do?"

Dorothy looked at the Chief, who had grasped the point immediately, with some appreciation.

"Then I have no problem. My lord, please rest assured, I guarantee I will handle this beautifully for you."

Konoe Maki said with sparkling eyes.

"En en, Chief, how could I not trust you to handle things?"

Dorothy smiled and said politely.

And so, the Home Witch began to lead the Hundred Ghosts to build the public toilet, while the Security Bureau began to issue demolition notices all over the island.

And just as the Security Bureau's group left, several more groups of people soon came to the bustling construction site.

For example, the Kujo family, also one of the five noble families.

The former Great Tengu of Yokai Mountain, Kujo Mikoto, walked over with her two granddaughters, and then smilingly took a demolition notice from the Home Witch.

Or, for example, the newly appointed Dormitory Head, Abe no Seimei.

In short, a vigorous demolition and recruitment movement unfolded on Yingzhou Island.

Some protested and became nail houses, while others actively signed up, wanting to become new employees.

In the blink of an eye, a month passed.

"Mom, I'm exhausted. It's finally finished."

On the construction site, Dorothy looked at the clean and tidy huge public toilet before her and smiled with satisfaction.

The former Tenshukaku had disappeared, and now it was replaced by a building that looked like a shrine.

Of course, although it looked like a shrine, it was a public toilet in terms of function.

After all, this was Izanagi's burial ground, and the Home Witch thought that his final act of trying to sacrifice the entire island was worth everyone remembering and commemorating in the way of going to the toilet.

Hmm, whoever has the yellowest urine goes first.

Of course, although it looked like a joke, this shrine toilet was actually a wonder building. This thing had the effect of suppressing evil spirits, purifying evil energy, turning garbage into fertilizer, and turning waste into treasure.

This was the first time Dorothy had built a wonder building in reality, and the result was that the first wonder of her life was a toilet, which made the Home Witch feel a bit helpless.

However, forget it. Buildings are equal; there is no distinction between high and low. A toilet is not lower than a palace. On the contrary, in terms of importance, people can live without a palace, but they cannot live without a toilet. This is even more important.

The only pity was that the Home Witch didn't need to go to the toilet. Her dragon stomach as a Dragon Witch had too strong a digestive ability; she was like a Pixiu, only entering and not exiting, which meant she couldn't be the first to use the first wonder she had worked so hard to build, which was a real pity.

"Tsk, it's a pity I drank so much water for several days, and there's not a single drop."

Dorothy touched her stomach with regret.

However, although she, the foreman, was not up to the task, the Hundred Ghosts under her command went in one by one and had a refreshing release.

Hmm, it seems that a wise sage once said that going to the toilet is actually a kind of relaxing enjoyment.

It's just a pity that Dorothy found it hard to experience such relaxation, so she had to turn around and go home with a look of regret.

She had been out for quite a while, the limelight outside should have passed, right? Perhaps she really should go home.

Dorothy thought of home.

Is this enough work for now?
