Chapter 1516: Everything is Going Well

"Dong~ Dong~ Dong..."

Six dull and heavy bell sounds rang from the top of the bell tower outside the main gate of the Great Witch Court, waking the entire city from its sleep. The morning sun penetrated the fog lingering in the streets and alleys, and sprinkled on the ancient streets of the Secret Law City with an average age of more than 300 years.

On both sides of the old streets that were worn uneven by the soles of shoes, the slightly dim gas lamps gradually extinguished in the morning light, replaced by rows of strange torches that were burning violently.

And the pedestrians on the road, with oil paint on their faces, feather crowns on their heads, and torches in their hands, every time they entered a new street, they would wave the brass torches burning with cyan-green flames in their hands along the graceful trajectory like a dance, drawing one after another gorgeous light and shadow in the air.

Following the chanting of the priests at the head of the team and the drum beats of the shamans on the side of the road, countless light and shadows drawn by the cyan-green torches intertwined with each other, weaving into lines of mysterious characters.

After being "soaked" by the aroma of burning herbs and resin, these meaningless runes turned into entities one after another, falling on everyone, drifting on the ancient streets, and following those sparse and scattered ancient streets, forming gorgeous grids like blood vessels.

And at the end of these blood vessels with ancient streets as carriers, the destination of countless solemn pedestrians was the huge alien square in front of the Great Witch Court.

Following the slow weaving of countless colorful "blood vessels," the huge square shaped like a fallen heart actually throbbed slightly like a real heart...

The Witch King Ceremony has begun.

Looking toward the Great Witch Court, seeing the Great Witch King who was carried out, and Li Ang and the cat princess standing side by side, the transmission witch, who was waving a torch in the crowd, immediately checked the strength of the "restraint."

Very good, the 【Bedtime Story】 is normal at the moment, and all forty-two True Gods who joined are still alive, and no one has been killed by the Food God.

After confirming that the plan was going well, the transmission witch, who had cyan-green oil paint on her face, couldn't help but relax her body, and then gave a look to the handsome young man holding a white cat behind her.

White Snake! Du Juan! It's time for you to act!

Okay!

After bowing slightly to the transmission witch transformed from the Description of Nothingness, the handsome young man wearing a pair of white snake earrings held the struggling white cat, left the street without changing his expression, bypassed the advancing crowd from a small road, and came to the

"Remember your mission!"

Throwing out a hook-and-line with a rather "retro" design, the White Snake youth climbed over the outer wall with the white cat—the avatar of the Thrush Crow—and said with a cold expression:

"Thrush Crow, you only have one thing to do: get Prince Watching Qiaoshuya into the lake to lure away the guards. While I go steal the witch's ball of yarn, you must rush back to the square outside to stop the Witch King ritual.

Later, when I send over the gloves knitted from the yarn, you put them on, transform back into Princess Caitelin, expose the conspiracy of the 'fake princess' and the Lionheart Duke, and order the soldiers to hang them. Everything will be a success! Do you understand?"

"Meow meow meow! Meow meow meow meow! Meow meow meow meow meow!"

This won't work! Listen to me! This is a guaranteed death trap!

"I'll take that as you understanding." The White Snake, who did not understand cat language, ignored the unpleasant advice of the Cat Pillar God and threw him directly toward the lakeside. After landing, the Thrush Crow glared at him angrily twice before having no choice but to follow the story's nodes, running toward the lake with his head hanging low.

You two idiots! The Food God's blade is at your necks and you don't even know it, yet you still want to jump into the pit? And you're not just jumping yourselves, you're actually forcing me to accompany you to your deaths?

Damn it, how can the King-Slaying Society ever succeed with this bunch of stupid vermin?

After cursing all the way with meows, the cat, having been sabotaged by his pig-like teammates, finally arrived at the lake. However, before he could even start looking for his target, he saw a signpost about thirty centimeters high, just the right height for a cat to see.

【Turn right fifty meters ahead, go around the small pavilion in the northwest corner, and you will find Prince Watching Qiaoshuya】

"..."

This sign of yours... it wasn't written specifically for me, was it?

After standing in front of the small wooden sign for a full five minutes, the cat—the avatar of the Thrush Crow—mustered his courage, tentatively walked forward a distance, then turned right according to the sign's instructions, went around a small pavilion, and then...

No way... even this has already been prepared?

Looking at the freckled prince who was tied up directly with a rope and hung on the embankment by the lake—who would fall into the lake the moment the rope was cut—the Thrush Crow's cat brain buzzed. He stood there stunned for a few seconds, then turned around and ran!

I can tell with my butt that there's a problem! That idiot from the Narrative of Nothingness can force a story, but these people here can see the future directly! How can I fight them like this?

"So fast?"

Seeing the Thrush Crow, who had only been gone for a little while, run back, start frantically tearing at his own pant leg, and meow while pointing his paw outside the wall, the White Snake couldn't help but frown.

"Why is there no movement over there? Did you really find that prince and push him into the lake?"

"Meow meow meow meow!"

Push my ass! The guy is just waiting there! If I don't run, I'm dead for sure!

However, just as the Thrush Crow was meowing heart-wrenchingly, wishing he could rip his cat heart out, bursts of exclamations suddenly came from the direction of the Witch Court landscape lake.

"Oh no! Someone fell into the water!"

"It's Prince Watching Qiaoshuya!"

"Guards! Guards! Someone come quickly!"

Hmm? It actually succeeded?

Hearing the commotion from the landscape lake and seeing the guards being lured away, the handsome youth—the avatar of the White Snake—couldn't help but nod in satisfaction. The look he gave the Thrush Crow was rarely tinged with a hint of kindness.

"Well done."

Picking up the white cat at his feet, climbing back onto the outer wall, and throwing him out, the White Snake sat on the wall and said:

"You go back to the square to interfere with the ritual, I'll leave this side to... wait! The square isn't that way! You're running the wrong way! Where are you going?"

Where am I going? I'm going to find a way to survive!

Having recognized the essence that the King-Slaying Society was full of noobs and that he was the only high-level player, the cat—the avatar of the Thrush Crow—went all out. While using all his strength to mobilize his truth to resist 【Bedtime Stories】, he moved his four short legs and fled for his life outside the Arcane City!

The White Snake is likely finished, the Narrative of Nothingness probably is too, and even those True Gods who were called down are likely in dire straits!

The only way to survive right now is to run! Run for his life! Run until the others are killed by the Food God and 【Bedtime Stories】 collapses on its own! He doesn't need to run faster than the Food God, he just needs to run faster than the Narrative of Nothingness!
