Chapter 80: Chaos

Before it was even dark, a red moon appeared in the sky, and it seemed to be drawing closer.

The previously clear sky gathered a large amount of red clouds; Chen Zhi had originally intended to bestow a blessing upon that witch as well, but he suddenly felt a sense of discomfort throughout his entire body.

His arms began to go numb, as if he were being watched by something, and he felt a vague sense of crisis.

On the contrary, Susan and the other person showed absolutely no reaction.

Compared to Chen Zhi, their inspiration was simply too low.

On the ground, near the Clock Tower, over a dozen Gold Ties had already been lost, and five or six players had already disconnected.

The only ones still able to keep their eyes open were Awakened with stronger abilities like Feng, and the rest were players who were positioned further away.

At first, they were just crying, but gradually, the tears everyone shed became bloody tears, and they even felt as if the things inside their heads were about to flow out along with the tears.

However, there was still a big difference between the players and the Gold Ties: they did not feel too much pain.

The true physical discomfort was all sensed by Chen Zhi, though for Chen Zhi, who had already become a god, this sensation could be considered negligible.

"Do you really think you can catch me? I can walk out of here openly and aboveboard." The witch Laina laughed loudly, "I am not that trash Agnes, who actually let you catch her while possessing the Gallows. Hehe, you might as well tell me where the Gallows went, I also..."

Just as she was speaking, the witch felt a weight on her body; Feng Buxi had approached at some unknown time and grabbed the Item in her hands.

The Item immediately began to wail, and its black skin seemed to infect the witch; the witch's face turned black, and she began to struggle with Feng Buxi for the Item.

Feng Buxi did not know what he was thinking; those Gold Ties had all fallen, but he had not.

He did not even feel any pain.

It was just that his vision was a bit blurry.

And he could feel blood flowing out from his eye sockets, but what did that matter?

Chen Zhi only felt his arms go numb, followed by a sharp pain.

That kind of pain was just like when he first touched the Gallows.

But now that Gallows had turned into a pile of powder, having long since been absorbed by Chen Zhi.

The result was that the entire area of Tana City was under Chen Zhi's Map Eye; of course, it had to be a place where players could walk.

Now Chen Zhi's feeling was somewhat similar to when he absorbed the Gallows, especially when Feng Buxi touched that Item directly; the discomfort, numbness, and sharp pain made Chen Zhi feel that if he had teeth, they would be aching terribly.

The one who was most uncomfortable, however, was not Chen Zhi.

It was Laina, who was holding that Item.

She was surprised and did not understand why this madman before her would cause such a huge reaction from the Item in her arms.

This Item was the only living Container she had obtained after a long time of sacrificial refining; it was conceivable that one day in the future, the true ancestor of the witches, the great Red Moon Goddess, would descend.

Even if someone touched it, it shouldn't be possible to have such a huge reaction.

Feng Buxi did not care what Laina was thinking; he could not even stand steadily now, and it was clear that the Item's wailing was also affecting him; his vision was becoming increasingly blurry, and his mind was becoming more and more muddled.

Feng, who was lying on the ground, finally had a chance to catch his breath; he slowly stood up, and looking at the reckless Feng Buxi, his face turned somewhat red.

A Xiahui People like this, who had just been recruited by him, was actually able to do this much.

Did he not have a heart of fear?

Even he himself did not dare to personally touch the witch's Mystical Item.

Those things often carried evil Curses; these guys seemed born to curse others, and that Item had clearly already killed at least a thousand people; just looking at it made one feel fear.

Yet Feng was not afraid at all; he even touched that Item personally.

No, he had to save Feng!

The golden sack opened, and Laina, in the midst of the struggle with Feng Buxi, realized the situation and immediately let go of the Item in her hands.

The Item could be made again!

In any case, the Gallows had not been found either.

But she absolutely could not be caught like Agnes, otherwise, no one would know where the Gallows were!

Aside from her, there were not many people left in the Descent Faction, and she had to ensure her own safety.

Thinking of this, she fled in a panic; she no longer had the courage to say she could leave here openly and aboveboard.

Instead, she had to dodge the attacks of the Gold Ties.

"It's out, it's out, get ready, get ready!" The players, already in teams of three, blocked the entrance.

When Laina had that Item, the players did not dare to go up casually; after all, the players who went up had basically died.

Only Feng Buxi, this Awakened, was a bit better than the other players, but not by much.

Now that Feng Buxi had restrained that Item, the players naturally had to do something to make this witch look good.

Seeing this witch dressed in gray rags running out from the Clock Tower in a panic, the players immediately pulled up the tripwire.

Some players had already raised their blades and started charging up.

Of course, more players only had a wooden stick or something like a broom in their hands.

Moreover, in order to deal with the witch, they had looked up some information and had controlled all the mirrors here in advance, covering them up.

In this way, even if she wanted to perform spatial jumps through glass, Laina could no longer do it.

Damn it, when did these idiots from the Golden Church become so diligent about dealing with witches?

After Laina fell, she immediately climbed up from the ground, her movements much faster than the players' siege.

She had quite a few Magic Potions on her, and she was clearly not a slow-moving guy like Agnes; after throwing a bottle of Magic Potion on the ground, the players could no longer see where she was.

Fortunately, there were still players lurking outside the Clock Tower; as soon as she came out, Laina felt her scalp tingle.

It was not one or two people staring at her here, but over a dozen.

The Smoke Potion was clearly not working well; she continued to pull out more vicious potions, but she could only target one or two people at a time.

"Do we have to take her alive?"

"If you're told to do it, can you bring yourself to do it?"

"I never hit women!"

"That settles it then, find a way to control her; isn't Gold Tie still upstairs?"

Several players whispered to each other, their eyes fixed on Laina the entire time.

The witch held a dozen or so potion bottles between her hands; she had no choice but to gamble it all. Perhaps the matter regarding Agnes was not a miscarriage of justice after all; the people of the Golden Church actually possessed such capabilities, bribing so many fellows who feared no death.
