Chapter 223: 197 Night of the Hunt (6) Heart-to-Heart
Summoning reinforcements, this was an extremely effective method.
But making this call also meant that Lin An could no longer transform into a Black Cat or Zou Yu.
Lu Jiao, though generally more lenient towards wizards within his territory and sometimes even refraining from taking action when encountering them face-to-face, did have a hit list.
Not many, just four people at the moment.
“Kapok,” spreader of Dark Witchcraft; “Ghost Face,” protector of the wizards in Shenhou City; “Black Cat,” who might form an organization; and “Eyeball Witch Monster,” who could turn into a terrifying Sorcerer Zombie at any moment and wreak havoc on the city.
Within Lu Jiao’s internal meetings, there were generally two opinions: the first was that the Eyeball Witch Monster was Kapok, and the second was a strong association between the Eyeball Witch Monster and the Black Cat Wizard.
After all, the timing and trajectories of their appearances highly overlapped.
Every member of Lu Jiao was extremely astute, and Lin An’s previous framing had not completely dispelled their suspicions.
Even extending to the speculation that Kapok and Black Cat were somehow linked.
So, he must not let Lu Jiao find out about his Black Cat.
The hit list…
That was no joke!
It’s often said that wizards can be led by their emotions and become irrational lunatics. Witch-hunting Knights have their own troubles too, sometimes entering a hollow state where they lose the ability to think and act solely on instinct.
At such times, their behavior patterns are predominantly based on faith, commands from the organization’s leader, and conclusions collectively reached in the past.
Like this hit list, for instance.
At such times, talking about feelings is useless.
Talking about feelings to a piece of wood… even ordinary girls know it’s not feasible.
Lin An, with pursed lips, stood on a distant high-rise, silently watching Zhuang’s battle. Having lost the ability to shape-shift, he indeed no longer had the capacity to join the fight.
At that moment, he was discussing with his subordinates through “Daydream” witchcraft.
“Haven’t you found Caidai yet?” Lin An frowned.
The Lottery Wizard shook his head, “No matter how hard I try to bring him into the Daydream Conference Room, it hasn’t been successful. But I can sense him, he seems to have passed out.”
He turned to look at the old accountant, “Uncle, how about giving me a blessing?”
The old accountant glared at him, “In such a complex situation, blessing two people at once will cause a great diversion of effects. I can only bless one person! And that person can only be the Great Commander at the moment! This decision is beyond dispute!”
Was Caidai Witch important? Of course, he was, not only could he provide concealment and protection for the shelter, but he was also a little girl’s father, eagerly awaited to return home.
But even so, for the old accountant, he could not be compared to Lin An.
Because he knew that in Shenhou City, only Lin An could protect all of them!
This young man might not seem to have much strength at the moment, but the old accountant was very clear that if something happened to Lin An, they would once again become rootless drifters.
Dark Sorcerers could kill them at any time, and the Witch-hunting Knights could also come to kill them at any moment.
Blessings and curses were magical forces that tamper with Destiny, seemingly without any bizarre, dazzling effects, yet the most solid of abilities.
The old accountant believed that his blessing was enough to protect Lin An in the face of adversity!
Lin An fell silent for a while, then saw a dazzling red light emanating from deep within the city and rapidly spreading towards him, lightly tapping his fingertips against the parapet of the skyscraper’s rooftop.
“Old accountant, give the Lottery a blessing first; we must find Caidai as soon as possible.”
The old accountant hesitated, but seeing Lin An’s resolute attitude, he finally nodded.
Boom~
A loud explosion, and Zhuang, carrying his “son,” finally broke through the combined spellcasting of those Dark Sorcerers, and plunged like a cannonball into the distant building.
The outer glass shattered, and building debris sprayed!
The entire building was rapidly shaking.
The building was going to collapse!
Lin An narrowed his eyes and fiercely grasped the rooftop parapet, feeling the violent shaking under his feet.
Indeed, the building that Zhuang had struck was the one he was standing on.
The cracks in the concrete quickly spread across the rooftop, and Lin An could fall in at any moment. He barely maintained his shape, but it was clear that this wouldn’t last long—the building was about to collapse.
At this time, all he needed was to change into the nimble Black Cat or the space-shifting Zou Yu, but unfortunately, at that moment, the Red Light Purgatory World suddenly covered a corner of the city.
A dozen Witch-hunting Knights rushed toward him.
“!!!”
“Damn it! I knew I shouldn’t have done it!” the old accountant cursed angrily, starting to cast spells again in a state of anxiety.
Meanwhile, Lottery excitedly shouted, “Found him, he’s in…”
“In…”
He looked puzzled at Lin An and the old accountant, whose image was becoming somewhat blurred from casting spells, “On the back of that Witch-hunting Knight?”
Lin An was stunned for a moment, “Are you sure?”
The “Daydream” witchcraft in his mind began to fluctuate, and after a while, the delicate face of Caidai Witch appeared beside them.

Caidai Witch still seemed unconscious, his entire figure floating in mid-air, in a position that looked like he was being carried on someone’s back.
“There’s something wrong with him!” Lottery said anxiously, “His emotions are very active; it seems like he’s resisting something… No, it seems like something is coming through him into our conference room.”
Humming~~
The Daydream Conference Room in their minds started to shake again, and Caidai Witch’s face twisted and changed, eventually turning into Mr. Liu’s face.
