Chapter 65: The Conflict between the Witch and the National NPC

What she meant was that Si Yao should be allowed to do the dangerous things, and she wouldn't feel bad if anything happened to Si Yao.

Su Yan felt his face suddenly burning.

Why do I feel like I'm being teased?

On the other side, Si Yao's face had become extremely ugly.

***

The next day, Zhen Jinli brought Si Yao to the Misty Forest and found that the retractable rope was still there.

It seems that only props are not affected by the recovery magic of the Misty Forest.

"Are you so confident that the old witch will listen to me?" Si Yao looked at Zhen Jinli with a smile.

"No." Zhen Jinli said honestly.

"Then how dare you call me over?" Si Yao was choked by her and then said angrily.

"I can only bewitch NPCs whose mental strength is lower than mine. Characters like witches who possess supernatural powers like magic may not be within my control."

Zhen Jinli yawned and said, "How will we know if we don't try? If even you, who possesses special card props, can't convince that old witch, then it will be even more difficult for others."

Si Yao: "."

When they were almost at the witch's residence, Zhen Jinli patted Si Yao on the shoulder and said.

"It's up to you now. I'll be cheering you on from behind!"

Si Yao looked at her with a puzzled look and said, "Why don't you come with me to convince that old witch?"

Zhen Jinli smiled and said, "I don't even need to show up to know that it will be just like those NPCs before. They respect me and love me, but they can't obey me and disobey Lan Ze's orders."

The corner of Si Yao's eye twitched.

Zhen Jinli continued to explain: "Oh, by the way, Lan Ze is the master of the rules of this survival game."

Si Yao: “.” He knows!

"Okay, let's go, Pikachu!" Zhen Jinli pointed at the small wooden house in the forest in front of him and said with a proud look on his face.

"It doesn't matter if we fail, we can find another way."

Si Yao sighed helplessly and walked forward silently.

Is such a silly woman really a threat in his eyes?

While Si Yao called the old witch out to persuade her, Zhen Jinli quietly used the time-stopping skill and slipped into the witch's house.

In case Si Yao fails to get the old witch to tell her the truth, she still has to prepare Plan B.

Even if witches know magic, they learn it from magic books.

As long as she steals the witch's magic book, she can...

Looking at the tall bookshelf in front of him, which was filled with various magic books, Zhen Jinli fell silent.

(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻With so many magic books, how long will it take her to find them all?!

I don’t know how long Si Yao can delay. At this time, I can only hope for the goddess of luck.

Zhen Jinli clasped her hands together facing the bookshelf and prayed, "Goddess of Luck will definitely bless us!"

A strong premonition rose from the bottom of his heart. Zhen Jinli raised his eyes and quickly scanned the bookshelf, aimed at one of the books, and pulled it out quickly.

She flipped through the magic book briefly and found that it did contain some magic similar to the sleeping spell.

This is the one!

After Zhen Jinli stuffed the magic book into his own space, he used his time-stopping ability again and quietly slipped out of the witch's house.

She returned to the big tree where she had been hiding and watched Si Yao walking towards her with a frustrated look on his face.

"How is it? Did the old witch agree to provide clues to awaken the NPC?"

Si Yao shook his head and said, "No, people in this country hate witches very much and think that witches are a symbol of evil."

"Whenever they were awake, they would shout about burning the witch, so the witch, in a rage, simply put them all into a coma."

"So, it's impossible for that old witch to wake up the people of this country, because once the national NPCs wake up, the witch will be in trouble."

Zhen Jinli pinched her chin and said suddenly, "So that's how it is."

It turns out that there are such irreconcilable contradictions between witches and the NPCs of this country.

There was a 300-year-long witch hunt in medieval Europe. This survival game should be based on this period of history, right?

If she just put the citizens into a coma instead of actually killing them, it means that the witch still has a kind heart and is just angry about being hunted by these citizens all day long.

Zhen Jinli took Si Yao back and said, "Let's go, we're going back."

After returning, Zhen Jinli handed the retractable rope to the original owner of the prop and announced to everyone the discoveries of this trip to the misty forest.

"We did find the witch. The reason why the NPCs in the Dream Kingdom fell into a coma is indeed related to the witch living in the Misty Forest."

"However, because the witch and the NPCs of the Dream Kingdom have irreconcilable conflicts, so far, we have not been able to convince the witch to help us awaken the NPCs."

Then, Si Yao told everyone about the conversation between him and the witch.

After hearing the whole story, the players' hearts sank.

"how so?"

The players looked at each other and became anxious.

The only witch who knows how to remove the sleeping spell is unwilling to help them. How can they leave this survival game?

"Then is there any other way for us to leave this game?"

"Yes." Ji Yingxue glanced at everyone and said, "Do you remember the special clearance conditions mentioned at the beginning of the game?"

When there are only two hundred players left, all of them will automatically pass the level.

All the players instantly became alert and subconsciously kept a distance from the people around them, fearing that they would attack them in order to leave the game.

"What? Do you really want to do something to me?"

Some players have already started to prepare for battle.

"Hmph, since the normal way to clear this round of the game doesn't work, then we can only use special clearance conditions."

".Fight then, who's afraid of who?!"

"Please calm down and don't be dominated by the survival game."

Zhen Jinli also knew that the current situation was a bit difficult, so she quickly said the slogan of activating the Goddess of Peace Card, successfully stabilizing the shaky harmonious atmosphere.

Su Yan's handsome brows knitted together. "It's not the final moment of despair yet. The people who know how to awaken the NPC are still out there, they just don't want to tell us. Instead of dealing with the witch, you're thinking of fighting among yourselves?"

Si Yao looked quite relaxed. What he enjoyed most was watching these players fighting among themselves.

Zhen Jinli glanced at Si Yao and knew that his dark and world-weary nature had come back again.

"Actually, I have another way that might help everyone escape this game."

Zhen Jinli took out the magic calligraphy from the space.

"I got a magic book from a witch. It might contain a method to break the sleeping spell."

When the players heard this, their eyes lit up.

Si Yao's face suddenly froze.

When did she get this thing?!

Male Lead: Σ(⊙△⊙|||)︴I was completely sick at that time.

Nanfeng: Our goal is to have no cavities!
