~10 min read 1,947 words

"It's okay, this is also in the plan. Xiwei's niece is still on the first floor; she is a Witch apprentice. As long as she is still there, the ritual on the first floor will not fail."

Big Sister Sylvia grabbed Xia De's arm, and Xia De nodded gently:

"One-forty-one, seven minutes left."

"Hmm?"

Priest Augustus, standing in the corridor, suddenly looked toward the window of Duoluoqian's room:

"Detective, I feel a familiar power... a boundary between life and death is unfolding nearby."

"Boundary between life and death?"

"Very close, quite close. It's an exit opened by spatial instability. No, I must go and deal with it, otherwise the range there will become larger and larger. Once it gets out of control, the problem will definitely not be small."

"Priest, I'll go with you."

Doctor Schneider also said. The two nodded to Xia De and jumped directly from the window to the outside. Although this was the third floor, it didn't have much impact on the Priest and the Doctor.

The white-haired spatial Great Witch said quite firmly. She looked around and frowned slightly:

"Four seconds."

"What do you mean?"

"Seventeen seconds."

"The last time Little Mia meowed like that, it seemed like she and I encountered a spatial transfer."

"Sure enough..."

"There's something on the roof, no, more than one."

"It's not that everyone was spatial-transferred at once."

Tifa stood beside the two princesses and the blonde male writer. At this moment, there was no sign at all. But more accurately, except for Little Mia suddenly leaping up, grabbing Ajielina's shoulder with her front paws, and "standing" up, meowing a few times, there were no signs at all.

Most of the high-ring and mid-ring girls in the corridor were silently counting down. Following their Great Witch to Green Lake to participate in this adventure and battle that no one could predict, this was the final moment. Seventeen seconds later, what might be welcomed was unpredictable death, or it might be something even more terrible. Some regretted, some were eager to try, some had regrets in their hearts, and some were thinking about things they had pursued but hadn't obtained until this moment.

"Thirty seconds."

Except for Duoluoqian, Princess Lei Qianya, and Ajielina, everyone else temporarily entered the corridor. Xia De and Megan stood in front of the wardrobe in the corner. The girls looked at Xia De with some worry, but Xia De shook his head slightly:

It was hard to imagine what kind of powerful enemy they had encountered to make Big Sister Sylvia erupt with such astonishing combat power in an instant. But this undoubtedly meant that the tenth-ring Great Witch had really encountered a tricky enemy.

Big Sister Aurora still couldn't reach a conclusion.

Megan in the wardrobe took a deep breath, gave Xia De a look, and then stretched out her finger to hook Xia De's little finger. A red thread wrapped around their fingers, then turned into a golden thread, and finally disappeared. This was a miracle she had used before. With it, the two could sense each other's location at any time, and even share vision at close range.

In the earthquake that struck the Anbing region again, Big Sister Aurora, who was flying in the air and cooperating with the Church's eighteenth-ring Extraordinarys to intercept the enemy along with her high-ring leaders, suddenly realized something in her mind as if struck by lightning:

"If I'm not mistaken, Xia De has probably already entered that island. But things shouldn't be as simple as we think. That Diviner, what a good method."

She walked to the window at the end of the third-floor corridor and easily removed the wooden board. Behind the wooden board was the rainy night in the mist, not the deep-sea scenery:

"Besides everyone and Megan's flames disappearing, have you noticed that even the 【Hide-and-Seek Wardrobe】 in the corner is gone?"

Big Sister Sylvia said, then grabbed Big Sister Aurora's shoulder and, along with her two leaders, instantly returned to the third floor. Although white mist would hinder spatial abilities, clearly the mist here wasn't dense enough.

Big Sister Sylvia muttered to herself, leading the group down to the basement.

The gentle meowing sound happened to ring out when there were three minutes left. And after the meowing ended, Big Sister Sylvia frowned again and looked upward:

"Go to the basement."

Megan Edwards was definitely not as calm as she appeared. The Audrey in her heart remained silent, just like her at this moment. She had imagined what it would be like when that day came, and at this moment, all her friends were fighting for her, and the lover she chose was also lurking and waiting in that darkness. She was already very satisfied with this. She didn't know what the future would be like, but at least she thought that her current life, except for the small regret of being rejected by Megan last night, could be considered complete.

She summoned her life ring again, letting the spirit rune shine on the wall. The hidden passage appeared, and the circular space and the Old God statue behind still existed:

"It's one-forty, why should I leave the inn?"

Smiling at Megan, he put on the silver invisibility cloak and entered the wardrobe, just not closing the door temporarily. Xia De stood at the door of the wardrobe holding the 【Concentric Sword】, preparing to face what was about to happen.

The writer girl suddenly realized one thing:

The wardrobe was placed in the corner. If it weren't for someone reminding him, Xia De almost wouldn't have noticed.

The three relics supported by the Witch Council, the Keeper-level 【Hide-and-Seek Wardrobe】, the Sage-level 【Invisibility Cloak that Escapes Death】, and the Keeper-level 【Concentric Sword】, had all been brought to Duoluoqian's room at this time.

Megan in the wardrobe only felt pitch black. He was ready to use his "posture" to turn himself into stone at any time, and he was also ready to rush out of the wardrobe and let Xia De pierce their bodies with the 【Concentric Sword】. Thinking about all the plans in his heart, in that darkness and silence, he asked himself:

Big Sister Aurora's face was very ugly, but the spatial Great Witch had a different view:

"How could it be such a coincidence..."

The cat yawned lazily.

White mist had already occupied every corner of the inn. The bonfire Megan had arranged was gone, and all living things in the inn had disappeared.

Several ladies appeared on the third floor together. After the earthquake at one-forty, the inn became silent. The two Witches who hurried back didn't see any girls in the corridor, and after coming to Duoluoqian's room, they didn't see anyone either.

"Last five minutes."

Big Sister Aurora's abrupt descent in altitude moved her away from the battlefield in the night rain. Although the Church's Extraordinarys were surprised, after all, the Witch Council was here to help for nothing, so they weren't very surprised. Besides, the battle was almost over.

"Emma, what did you guess?"

At the same time, Big Sister Sylvia, who was on the roof of the Green Lake Inn, fighting two transparent enemies using twin blades along with two other leaders who also possessed spatial power, also widened her eyes:

"Meow~"

"The alchemical cards of that Diviner that Megan mentioned."

Big Sister Aurora frowned slightly.

General Calendar 1854, Month of Prayer for Rain, 21st, Saturday, Night, 1:48:00.

"Three seconds."

Big Sister Aurora didn't even use strong spiritual power to avoid the rain, just like that, she turned into a ray of light and landed on the roof of the inn. Her brown long hair, which was twisted together because it was soaked by the rain, turned into a slender light whip with the movement of her shaking her head. This weapon, sharper than any blade, cut through the rain, and then cooperated with Big Sister Sylvia to defeat the two monsters that could transform between virtual and real at any time and whose true bodies couldn't be seen.

Ajielina, who was holding the cat, was quite envious of this kind of skill.

Big Sister Sylvia smoothed the rain on her short hair:

He hugged Megan gently, then felt that the Witch, who looked very calm, was actually trembling slightly.

Of course, there was no one in the basement, but what the spatial Great Witch cared about wasn't that. She arranged for others to check the ritual with her, and then found that the ritual itself was intact, but all the relics assisting the ritual had disappeared.

This inn had no attic, and above the third floor was the roof. Naturally, the Witches wouldn't forget to arrange defensive and reconnaissance rituals there.

"Why should I leave the inn at such a time?"

"What a good method, but the Diviner on the island is still wary of Megan, otherwise there would be no need to adopt this method. Xiwei, do you know who decided the location here? Was the location of this inn really decided by Maria Edwards?"

The cut cards drifted toward the floor with the wind and rain after the monster died, but were caught by Big Sister Sylvia. She saw that the card face was the phantom of two monsters back-to-back:

The Witch closed the wardrobe door, then pressed her hand on the side of the wardrobe. At the same time, her brown short hair began to grow crazily. In a few dozen seconds, the hair completely wrapped the wardrobe.

"Sure enough, the relic 【Seaview Window】 here has also disappeared."

The ladies walked down the stairs to the second floor. The entire second floor was still in pitch darkness. Subsequently, they arrived at the first floor. As expected, the first floor was also filled with mist. Only the gas lamps on the walls illuminated the inn at night. Everyone who should have been here, as well as Megan's bonfire, had all disappeared without a trace, just like on the third floor.

"Did you really think of all possibilities?"

"Thirty seconds."

"It seems that this place is judged to be part of this inn."

Big Sister Sylvia stood at the door of the room, also watching the inside of the room nervously. Little Mia, held by Ajielina, widened her eyes, quite puzzled why Megan entered the wardrobe this time:

Even knowing it was best not to leave at this time, but after the roof began to vibrate and the ceiling kept falling dust, she still greeted her two high-ring leaders, and then disappeared from the corridor in one step. Subsequently, even Megan in the wardrobe heard the sound from the roof of the Green Lake Inn.

Duoluoqian pursed her lips and held Princess Lei Qianya's hand, her heart also filled with unease. Except for Ajielina and the cat, everyone present was an Extraordinary, so they could all clearly calculate the remaining time:

PS1: Only the largest one in Mibao can be called "Boundary of Life and Death", the others are boundaries of life and death. I made a mistake here.

PS2: The picture in this chapter is "Red Thread".

It's really hard to make AI understand what it means for two fingers to be connected by a red thread.

PS3: This is an extra update. The Green Lake region decisive battle is over. In order to give Witches and the Church more scenes without weakening the protagonist's role, recent chapters may have more content about battles and breaking difficulties, which makes some readers feel that the actual information content is not enough. Then update more. Before this volume is finished, the author will try to update frequently. ===== CHAPTER 1887 =====
