Chapter 740: The Demon of Internal Involution

In the banquet hall, Dorothy opened her eyes.

After Phantom Thief Jack left, this stage illusion that had been hijacked by others finally ended, and the homebody Witch's consciousness returned to her main body.

Only, thinking of the confusing words the phantom thief Miss said when she left just now, Dorothy was a bit confused.

So, is she talking to me or not?

The homebody Witch was a bit indecisive.

So, the first thing she did after regaining consciousness was to look at the sisters beside her.

"That..."

She was just about to ask, but Senior Hat above her head had already lowered her tentacles and pulled her hair.

"Good you, Qian Bao, were you lying to me before? You clearly discovered the abnormality before, I said why would you ask inexplicably."

Senior Fan Ni asked with anger.

The future fourth king lady felt that she had no face now. Clearly, she, the strongest among the sisters, didn't find anything, but Qian Bao, the weakest chicken, could find the abnormality in advance.

Damn, I feel more and more that I, this destined fourth king, was picked up by the world mother.

Senior Hat was a little autistic.

"Uh, Senior, did you also see that phantom thief at the end?"

Seeing the Senior's reaction, Dorothy felt relieved instead. She then continued to look at the others.

If the sisters all saw the plot changed by the phantom thief and heard her strange words, then it means she didn't have any special treatment.

Well, the phantom thief Miss just sent a message to the group. She should not be too self-indulgent.

She thought so.

And the subsequent reactions of the sisters also made her feel more at ease.

"Damn, this phantom thief is so rampant."

Madeline said with gritted teeth first.

The succubus witch lady rarely gets so angry. As a model of a holy knight, her cultivation of qi is quite good, but the one who was humiliated on the stage just now was her mother. Seeing her mother humiliated, no daughter could be calm.

Similarly, Audrey on the side was also full of anger. The usually cute little fox was now baring her teeth and claws, super fierce.

And Senior Miya and Lucifer were a bit calmer, but both of them were frowning, each with doubts, and then both turned their faces to Dorothy and looked at her silently.

"Uh, what are you two looking at me for?"

The homebody Witch was confused. She was a bit hairy from the two people's gaze.

"Nothing, little fairy, I just inexplicably feel that the phantom thief's words were for you."

"Mmhmm, eldest lady, do you have any clues about this?"

The Golden Princess and the Fallen Angel lady said so.

From the strange words the phantom thief Miss left when she left, it was clear that she was talking to someone.

And the object of the speech might be the Nine-Tailed lady who was acting, or it might be some audience member who brought the protagonist into the illusion.

Following the audience's train of thought, although the two had no evidence, the first person they thought of was Dorothy.

No way, who told the little fairy (eldest lady) to always give people a little surprise or shock in all kinds of strange places?

So, encountering strange things, and having no clues, then just buckle this pot on the little fairy (eldest lady) first.

The two thought so.

And hearing Senior Miya and Lucifer say this, the eyes of the two sisters Madeline and Audrey also fell on Dorothy.

Although this speculation is indeed a bit messy, the two inexplicably felt that this actually made some sense.

Dorothy: "."

It's fine for Madeline to suspect me, but Audrey, my cute junior sister, I treat you well on weekdays, but now you actually suspect me too. The sisterhood is shallow.

Regarding the sisters' behavior of buckling hats on her head without explanation, Dorothy was angry, her face flushed, and she wanted to refute loudly, but opening her mouth, thinking of the words that the phantom thief Miss could perfectly match with her inner complaints at that time, she also felt inexplicably guilty, a bit unreasonable and not strong.

"People said those words were for her teacher, but I don't have any apprentices."

Dorothy finally argued like this.

She had an innocent look of being a harmless weak little witch.

Yeah, she is just a freshman in witch college, where does she have the qualifications to accept apprentices? If she has to say, Alice, the sister she brought up from childhood, counts as half an apprentice.

And there is also the matter in the Witch's Night.

Yeah, the good sister's magic originated from her, counting as half an apprentice.

And there are Ati and Emora, this little guy, this also counts as her teaching, and can also be hard-pulled into a little bit of master-apprentice relationship.

And there is that Nuoya guy.

Others seem to be really no one.

But first exclude Alice. After all, no one knows how many pounds this little witch sister has better than her sister. This stupid sister whose head seems to be full of muscles doesn't have that ability.

Not to mention those free-spirited sorceries, just that acting skill is absolutely impossible.

Alice's highest acting skill stopped at the background tree played in the little witch musical on Haiyue Island when she was a child.

If this stupid sister really had a day to grow up to be able to act and have such deep thoughts, Dorothy as a sister would be very gratified.

Well, maybe there will be a little regret that the sister has grown up and is not fun.

And besides Alice, the remaining four are completely impossible.

The first three are the current three kings. The God King and the Long Wang are absolutely impossible. The most suspicious Demon King was cleared of suspicion because she was also one of the phantom thief's audience at the time.

As for Nuoya...

Well, Dorothy actually misses that loli Pope a bit. That is a rare person who shares the same interests as her since crossing over. It's just a pity that in real history, Nuoya probably won't have a good ending in that cruel battle between angels and witches.

Her ideals are good, and the path is correct, but being born as a human, she is still too early and too weak, which is very regrettable.

The homebody Witch sighed in her heart, and then cleared the distractions in her mind.

Yeah, in short, she is really innocent this time. Except for coming to the predecessor of Night City, the City of Sin, during the Witch's Night, this is her first time coming to this Night City, okay? Things here have nothing to do with her.

And seeing Dorothy's angry look, the sisters shook their heads one after another.

Actually, they themselves feel this guess is a bit absurd; after all, that Phantom Thief Jack has already made it clear that she is a Sage-level boss. How could such a boss have a master-disciple relationship with Dorothy?

Senior Miya, Madeline, and Audrey thought so.

Only Lucifer still had a bit of seriousness in her eyes.

After all, after pulling out the God King's Holy Sword and receiving the memory in the sword, Sophie Liya already knew the unusual relationship between her eldest lady and the God King.

So, no matter how outrageous things happen to the eldest lady, she feels it is very possible.

Isn't it just a Sage apprentice? Even if the eldest lady said that the three kings were her apprentices, Sophie Liya would despise and not believe it on the surface, and then feel it was very possible in her heart.

As for Lucifer, the fallen angel incarnation is more decisive than the hesitant body. She now believes blindly.

Yeah, in short, no matter how the eldest lady explains it, she reserves her opinion anyway. If this Phantom Thief Jack really has nothing to do with the eldest lady, then she will strip herself naked tonight and pack herself up and send herself to the eldest lady's bed.

"Okay, rather than worrying about me, you should worry more about the situation in the city next. Also, Senior Madeline, Audrey, do you want to go see how your mother is?"

Dorothy forcibly changed the topic, although on her head, Senior Hat was frantically asking her to confess.

But who cares about a hat's opinion? If you want to ask, you have to change into a human form to express sincerity, okay? Speaking of which, this product still owes her a cat-ear maid outfit, but she has been playing rogue until today and hasn't fulfilled it.

Hmph, don't let me catch the opportunity later, otherwise it will definitely have no good fruit to eat.

She thought angrily in her heart, and then looked up at the hall.

At this time, the atmosphere in this banquet hall was not as elegant and high-end as before the performance. These big shots in Night City all had ugly faces.

After all, it was clearly a trap they set up themselves, and they dragged everyone in the city to watch the live broadcast. It was originally a determined thief-catching operation, but now their faces were swollen by others.

This is truly embarrassing to the extreme.

Don't say anything like the enemy is a Sage, and it's natural that we can't stop it. Although this is indeed a fact, Demon Witches will think more about finding reasons from themselves.

After all, encountering what kind of enemy is something you can't decide yourself. Pushing the responsibility to things that can't be changed is meaningless except for making yourself weaker. Since you have found the problem, you should face the problem and find a way to solve the problem.

Only by working hard to complete one's own defects and being able to face such things calmly next time is the best way to find back face.

Night City doesn't need weaklings who shirk responsibility; it needs talents who can really do work.

The weak step down, the strong move up. Such survival of the fittest is the survival rule of Night City.

And in the hall, two rays of light shone. The two ladies who had just performed also ended their performance and returned to the banquet hall.

Dorothy looked at the moon stage in the sky. Tonight's performance was still going on, and it didn't announce the suspension because of this disturbance. Even if not many people had the heart to watch the performance now, they still intended to finish it.

And the two ladies' faces were not good either. The performance just now was a battlefield for them, and the master of the final stage illusion was taken away by the phantom thief, which meant their defeat.

The battle of the spirit school is often like this, invisible but dangerous. At this time, the two ladies' faces were a bit pale, especially the Nine-Tailed lady, who was sick like Xizi, making people love her.

She suffered not light injuries as the main target of the phantom thief in the stage battle before.

However, although they are actors, they are witches, witches of the war race, so even if they are injured, the ladies have no intention of complaining.

For idol witches, the stage is their battlefield, and they as the leads are generals. Now that the situation is at a disadvantage, as generals, it is not the time for them to complain and rest. They must stand up to stabilize the situation and morale.

"Ladies, the responsibility for this failure lies with us. We will go to the Demon King Palace to accept punishment later. However, this kind of thing must never happen a second time. We are the people of the Demon King, representing the face of the Demon King. Night City will not be small enough to accommodate losers, but it is not big enough to accommodate the incompetent."

"I propose in the name of the Witch Opera House that the city should increase countermeasures against Sage-level..."

The two ladies cheered up, took the initiative to take responsibility for this failure, and began to reflect on the decision-making after being prepared.

"Werewolf Sisterhood seconds, resolution passed."

"13 Blood Clans have no opinion, resolution passed."

"Witch Daily has no objection, resolution passed."

"Cup of Greed has no objection, resolution passed."

And the representatives in the banquet hall also began to discuss seriously. Clearly, a second ago, it was a dance party where a group of beautiful women drank small wine and watched the performance, but now this banquet hall had become a serious conference hall.

In the corner, Dorothy also saw this scene for the first time, looking at the banquet hall that had completely changed its style, she was dumbfounded.

Ah, this, is the efficiency of Demon Witches so high?

The homebody Witch was very surprised in her heart.

She could understand a little bit why the current Demon Kingdom could become the first in the witch world witch territory ranking. With this efficiency and internal involution degree, why worry about not becoming a roll king?

No wonder they had the opportunity to defeat the group of war maniacs in the Dragon Kingdom and end the championship that the Dragon Witches had held for tens of thousands of years.

For large-scale wars like territory battles, overall discipline is clearly superior to personal bravery, even if the Dragon Kingdom's troops and combat power occupy an absolute advantage, but in the absence of the Long Wang's personal command, the unruly nature of the Dragon Witches can also anger the commander.

The phrase "a group of dragons without a leader" is not said for fun.

And compared to the Dragon Witches with too strong personalities, Demon Witches with such excellent discipline and scheduling ability are simply the favorite heart-throb of commanders. Which commander would refuse a good unit that points where it hits?

Although the fact that Demon Witches have anti-bones behind their heads is also well known, once there is an opportunity, these ambitious guys will definitely go down. If the commander's ability is insufficient, there is a risk of being hollowed out into a puppet.

But this does not prevent them from being a good knife.

Anyway, whether it's a Demon Witch or a Dragon Witch, both are far superior to those lackluster Angel Witches.

Qian Bao insults angels. ===== CHAPTER 741 =====
