Chapter 675: Script Kill

Late at night, Sophie Liya finished a day's work and returned to the Yae Mansion.

The Pure White Witch had originally planned to return to her room to continue reviewing the official documents that were too late to be approved during the day, but when passing by the eldest lady's room, she saw that there was still light in the room, as well as the clearly visible sound of sharpening a knife.

Sophie Liya frowned, then still knocked on the door.

"Come in."

A familiar voice soon came from inside the door.

The Pure White Witch then pushed open the paper sliding door and saw the situation in the room.

I saw a low table placed in the center of this Japanese-style tatami room, with an oil lamp placed on the low table, and the swaying wick fire radiated dim yellow light.

And her own eldest lady was sitting beside the low table, with a whetstone and a plate of water placed in front of her. She was currently concentrating on sharpening the long sword in her hand. Every few times she sharpened it, she would examine the cold-glittering blade by the light, and the mirror-like smooth sword body reflected a pair of eyes colder than the blade.

Click, click, click...

Accompanied by the rhythmic sound of sharpening the knife, this scene of sharpening the sword by the lamp at night was very murderous and full of evil spirit.

This made Sophie Liya stunned, and her face also became serious.

The eldest lady had always been heartless and lungless on weekdays, and this was the first time the Pure White Witch had seen her in this state. Had something happened?

Just when she was so puzzled, the Home Witch opposite couldn't hold it anymore; she revealed her usual silly smile.

"Hahaha, how is it? Were you scared by me? Sure enough, my acting skills are still okay. Mm-hmm, this scene is good; the cold-blooded me is really handsome. I'll find a way to add it to the script later."

Dorothy said triumphantly.

Sophie Liya: "..."

The Pure White Witch felt that she, who had just worried about this eldest lady for a moment, was a big fool.

"So, my eldest lady, you didn't sleep in the middle of the night and sharpened your knife just to show off in front of me?"

A "well" sign appeared on the angel witch's forehead. She suppressed the anger of working overtime for a day, then questioned this eldest lady who had thrown all the work to her, but was idle and hurting here, showing off.

Dorothy: "..."

Ah, this...

Seeing her roommate's eyes, which were sharper than what she had just acted, the Home Witch immediately sat upright, knelt obediently by the low table, and then diligently patted the seat next to her, signaling Sophie Liya to sit down and talk.

"That, Sophie Liya, you have to listen to my sophistry... phew, it's listen to my explanation. I'm not playing around; I'm just thinking about the script."

Dorothy hurriedly explained.

"Script?"

Sophie Liya was stunned.

"Mm-hmm, the thing is like this. Aren't we lacking money? So I..."

The Home Witch told the story of today's events one by one, and the Pure White Witch realized it after listening.

"Magic Shadow? This is indeed a good idea."

Sophie Liya nodded.

This can also be considered a common strategy for major witch territories to promote themselves to the outside world. Quite a few witch territories that rely on tourism spend quite a lot of resources on this kind of soft advertising every year. Even the teacher's territory had invested in some war-themed Magic Shadow shooting to recruit soldiers before.

"Then have you thought of the script?"

The Pure White Witch asked again.

Although she agreed with the method of using Magic Shadow shooting to promote the territory's characteristics, Sophie Liya had no bottom line about whether the eldest ladies could shoot this Magic Shadow well.

After all, Magic Shadow shooting is notoriously difficult. The first works of newcomers entering the industry mostly flop. It would be fine if there were enough time to trial and error and adjust, but now wanting to finish everything in just one month is a bit of a fantasy.

Of course, because the eldest lady was participating in this shooting, Sophie Liya didn't directly judge that it was an impossible task. After all, the eldest lady had had too many resumes of turning the impossible into the possible before. Maybe she would create a miracle again this time?

"Script, actually I didn't think much about it, and I don't need to think about it anymore."

Hearing the inquiry, Dorothy first shook her head, then nodded again.

"What do you mean?"

Sophie Liya was a bit puzzled.

"I mean, what we are shooting this time is actually a documentary. We don't need any script; reality is the script."

Dorothy carefully applied special sword oil to the demon sword in her hand, then looked at the perfect sword body of Chiying under the light, nodded with satisfaction, and said as such while sheathing the sword.

"Documentary?"

The Pure White Witch was stunned; this was really a bit beyond her expectations.

After all, whose territory promotional video would shoot a documentary? This is as bizarre as the actual product under the packaging bag of junk food bought in a supermarket being the same as the promotional picture.

The vast majority of witch territories are actually imperfect, but this does not prevent everyone from wanting to praise their own home as a paradise when advertising and promoting. After all, making money, this little sales tactic is not shameful.

But now it looks like the eldest lady intends to come for real.

"How can you promote it with a documentary?"

Sophie Liya asked speechlessly.

"The Yingzhou Island theme is a good Magic Shadow material. Outside witches have always been very interested in this mysterious hermit place. Coupled with the best-selling autobiographies of lucky people like "Yingzhou Travel Notes" before, this has already accumulated quite a lot of popularity for us."

"This is our advantage, eldest lady. Forgive me for being blunt, distance creates beauty. Witches like the Yingzhou Island of their imagination, not this poor, corrupt, backward, and self-enclosed countryside place now."

The Pure White Witch said bluntly.

Her words hit the nail on the head, which also made Dorothy speechless.

This is a fact.

Even the Home Witch herself had wonderful fantasies about this hermit place before coming to Yingzhou Island, thinking about how elegant and free the hermits on this island would be.

But the gap between fantasy and reality was too big. She hadn't been on the island for a few days, and her fantasy filter had already shattered completely.

The reality of Yingzhou Island really didn't have much to like. Not to mention anything else, just the superiority of these Yingzhou witches calling outside witches "barbarians" one by one had already made people angry.

If such a status quo were shot into a Magic Shadow, let alone promoting it to the outside world, Dorothy even felt that some witch lords with explosive tempers might directly declare war on them after watching it.

It's just that, even so, Dorothy didn't intend to change her mind.

"Actually, I also thought about the idea of weaving a beautiful script of a paradise following people's fantasies, and I even thought of the name, just call it Gensokyo, but in the end, I gave up."

"Sophie Liya, lies will eventually be exposed. No matter how hard you blow up bad things, it won't change the fact that it is garbage."

"Now this Yingzhou Island is indeed an unpleasant place, but I think what we should do is find a way to make it better, not lie to others that it is very good."

Dorothy said seriously.

"So, my Magic Shadow is not prepared to be called "Gensokyo", but "How Gensokyo Was Established"."

Sophie Liya: "..."

The Pure White Witch was silent.

Frankly speaking, the eldest lady's words are really silly and naive, but this is also indeed very eldest lady. She has always been like this.

Clearly, as long as she discards a little useless persistence, she can immediately reap the benefits within reach, but this guy is stubborn and always wants to stand and earn money. How could such a thing be so easy?

However...

Sigh, who let this be her own eldest lady? Only blame herself for having a hard life, having encountered such a troublesome lord.

"Since that's the case, why not leave the script to me to arrange?"

Sophie Liya said as such.

"Eh?"

Dorothy was stunned, then looked at her roommate with some confusion, not understanding her meaning.

And the Pure White Witch directly took out a pile of documents from her pocket and threw them in front of the Home Witch.

"My eldest lady, didn't you just play the cold-blooded samurai quite happily? Then why not just make it real? Please go and deal with the targets on this list one by one, Samurai-sama."

"Ah, this..."

The Home Witch reached out and took out a document to look at, discovering that this was a list of nail-households.

Although the overall demolition action of Yingzhou Island is currently proceeding quite smoothly, this is only a superficial phenomenon. Dorothy and the others have only reclaimed the land, but the more important hearts have not yet been won.

The influence accumulated by those Yingzhou nobles over the past tens of thousands of years of ruling this island cannot be cleared away overnight. Even if that group of nobles all cooperated on the surface when facing the demolition action this time, they must have long hated to humiliate Dorothy from various angles countless times in their hearts.

After all, what the Home Witch moved was not just their cake, but directly carried the pot together. Who wouldn't be anxious about this?

Of course, because Dorothy held the imperial order of the Amaterasu Shrine in her hand, and the source of all evil, Izanagi, had also been executed, this left that group of nobles leaderless, so they temporarily didn't have the courage to openly rebel. But they still had the guts to secretly do some small actions to disgust you, and it was quite big.

These nail-households in various places were mostly the work of those nobles.

These nail-households were mostly of the former samurai class. Their status was not enough to reach the nobles, but they were much higher than ordinary people, and they had always had considerable superiority.

But now Dorothy suddenly made everyone equal. How could these samurai masters be willing? And they had always been the dogs of the nobles in the past. The nobles just passed a few words, and these samurai who were full of loyalty and death directly acted as the out-of-the-gun-muzzle cannon fodder.

"These are all hopeless guys. I originally thought about dealing with them slowly, but since you want to shoot Magic Shadow, eldest lady, then why not let me write a script and guide this group of guys to act as your stepping stones? Anyway, an excellent work always needs some villain characters."

"I have also understood this month that these Yingzhou witches mostly fear power and do not cherish virtue, so let's do as they wish, use force to ravage them, and make them obedient."

Sophie Liya explained with a smile.

The best screenwriter in this world is actually fate. All states of sentient beings are the guidance of fate. As the daughter of fate, the Pure White Witch is born to be a good screenwriter.

Even if the eldest lady didn't intend to shoot a movie, this group of cannon fodder pushed onto the stage would be slowly guided by her toward destruction. She had even arranged the destined ending for that group of nobles who were playing tricks behind the scenes.

But since the eldest lady needed it, the Pure White Witch didn't mind slightly modifying the original script to make the best use of everything.

Dorothy: "..."

The Home Witch looked at her roommate who was smiling on the surface but whose eyes were very cold, and couldn't help but tremble a bit.

Compared to her coldness which was just acting, Sophie Liya's was truly cold from the heart.

You must know that every report in this represents a human life, but the lives of these people in the eyes of the Pure White Witch are just tools used at will. What ending they will head toward depends entirely on Sophie Liya's mood.

This is really...

Damn, so cool. I also want to be this kind of behind-the-scenes chess player. This style is much higher than a cold-blooded killer.

Dorothy was cold with anger, but it's a pity that she is a fate insulator and is destined to have no relationship with this kind of method of weaving fate for a short time.

"Alright, then I'll go and see it now."

The Home Witch nodded and said as such.

Although Sophie Liya's words were a bit ruthless, Dorothy didn't care. She believed in her roommate's judgment. Since she said they were hopeless, then they should be not worth pitying.

Evil should be removed early, and if you want to better promote Yingzhou Island, then cleaning the house before inviting guests is also as it should be.

Anyway, being idle at night is being idle, going out for a stroll and dealing with some garbage is also quite good.

At the moment, she hung the demon sword Chiying, which she had just maintained, on her waist, and prepared to go out.

"Wait."

Behind her, the Pure White Witch called her again.

"What's wrong?"

Dorothy turned her head and asked with some confusion.

"Eldest lady, don't forget to bring your photographer. Wenwen is currently at the Kujo Mansion. You can go directly to find her and say that I asked her to help. She will listen obediently."

Sophie Liya said as such.

The Home Witch blinked her eyes upon hearing this.

"Hiss, that big-mouthed crow will actually listen to you?"

Dorothy was a bit surprised. She was still thinking about how to coerce and lure this senior later. She didn't expect her roommate to have such a big face.

"This is a secret."

The Pure White Witch also blinked her eyes and answered as such.

"Tsk..."

Feeling that she had been teased, the Home Witch couldn't help but puff up her cheeks.

"If you don't say it, then don't. Then I'm leaving."

Dorothy made a face at the door and then angrily closed the door forcefully.

Arriving in the courtyard, she looked up at the sky.

In the pitch-black sky, a bright moon hung high, and silver-white moonlight sprinkled on the earth, but suddenly, an evil wind from nowhere made a thick cloud layer block the bright moonlight.

"Good fellow, this dark night and high wind is a good weather for working."

The Home Witch sighed in her heart, then took a few deep breaths, and her eyes gradually became cold.

From now on, I am the Yingzhou ronin Tsukimi Kuro.

I am a killer, I have no feelings.

Killer-san is in action. ===== CHAPTER 676 =====
