Chapter 820: May the Cat Witch Bless You
Oh no! Something's not right!
As Leon and the Cat Witch stood guard at the entrances of various societies, continuously pulling people into the Yarnball Society, a voice, slightly agitated, echoed from the white snake earring on Catherine's ear.
"Magpie!"
Unconsciously calling out, the usually calm and composed Magpie, who rarely raised his voice, asked with a hint of impatience, despite his confident demeanor:
"What's going on? Why haven't you been caught yet? Why hasn't the story progressed?"
"I..."
Facing the interrogation from the Tale of Illusions, Catherine, who had run for two blocks, finally stopped and hesitantly replied:
"I just tried it, but my powers kept alerting me, so..."
So, you ran away again?
Magpie's response made the Tale of Illusions grit his teeth in frustration. However, recalling the unusual situation he had just discovered, the Tale of Illusions managed to suppress the urge to scold him. Instead, he asked with a sense of urgency:
"Never mind that for now. First, tell me what the God of Food and the Black Cat were doing just now!"
"They... seemed to be recruiting people everywhere."
After recalling the scene he had witnessed, Catherine answered with some uncertainty:
"I didn't observe closely, but the Leader of the Shaman Society reported earlier that they've been recruiting people to join the Yarnball Society since yesterday, saying they want to kidnap you. They were probably doing the same just now."
"..."
It seemed that the rules of the Bedtime Story had been discovered by them!
After hearing Magpie's description, the Tale of Illusions fell into a moment of silence, regretting his previous overcautious actions. If he hadn't specifically targeted the Yarnball Society, perhaps they wouldn't have uncovered the rules of the Bedtime Story.
However, when the Tale of Illusions had set up the Bedtime Story in the past, he had done similar things, and none of the targets had reacted. Why was it that the God of Food was able to discover the issue?
The Tale of Illusions silently lamented for a moment, then instructed Magpie to stay put. Dense black mist emerged from the white snake earring, transforming him into a pitch-black raven once again. With a flap of its wings, it soared into the sky.
Indeed, they had seen through it all...
Using the raven's sharp eyes, the Tale of Illusions located Leon and the Cat Witch after searching for two blocks. Seeing the Blessing Monk being manipulated by the Malevolent Prince, the raven sighed, dispelling any hope. It returned to Catherine's shoulder.
"Get ready."
Facing Catherine's puzzled expression, the raven spoke with a somber tone:
"The weakness of the Bedtime Story has been exposed to them. The longer we delay, the more disadvantageous it becomes. From now on, you must allow yourself to be caught by him as soon as possible!"
What? Weren't things fine just a moment ago? Why the sudden urgency?
Sensing the Tale of Illusions' genuine determination to 'deliver' him to the God of Food, Magpie hesitated:
"But as soon as I get close to him, my truth will..."
"You willingly entered my story, so you should prioritize following my truth."
"What?!"
As Catherine's eyes widened in shock, the black mist from the raven expanded instantly, engulfing her entire body. It rushed into every pore of her skin.
With the invasion of the black mist, the once blaring alarm bells of Disaster Avoidance in her mind seemed to be submerged in a deep, muddy swamp, instantly falling silent.
Although the terrifying alarm bells of fear and dread continued to ring intermittently, piercing through the swamp's blockade and striking her heart, they ultimately faced a powerful blockade. The effect that once made her soul instantly transparent and alert was gone, leaving her feeling obtuse and dull.
"You?!"
"Go find him!"
As the binding of the bedtime story began to noticeably weaken, Tale of Illusions completely lost patience and negotiation, staring intently at the Magpie's eyes, which were filled with a mix of anger and shock. Without giving her a chance to refuse, he coldly threatened, "A Pillar Deity cannot be killed, but that doesn't mean it can't be sealed, especially one like you who has descended in its true form. Magpie, the Pisces Division has only withdrawn from the Secret Magic City, but they're still nearby. I can hand over your true body to them at any moment, or even deliver your flesh directly to the God of Food."
"What?!?!"
"Just do it. I don't want to repeat myself again!"
...
"Beautiful Spirit Medium, may the Cat Witch bless you."
Unaware of the tragic events occurring two streets away, Leon was holding a gift purchased by the Cat Witch with her savings. He stopped a middle-aged woman wearing a colorful headscarf and asked with a warm smile, "If you sign up, you'll receive a gift from the Yarn Ball Society, blessed by the Cat Witch herself!"
"No, thank you!"
Facing the black-haired man who had blocked her path with his arms slightly spread, the middle-aged woman, adorned with a headscarf and a flower garland, raised her head slightly. Then, with a stern expression, she said, "I've already heard from others in the Medium Guild that your Yarn Ball Society is recruiting members everywhere. But I'm already a spirit medium in the Medium Guild, so..."
"It's fine. Our Yarn Ball Society's leader is very open-minded and doesn't mind members belonging to multiple societies."
"..."
You don't mind, but I do! And wait, didn't you just say I only needed to sign up? Why is it now a requirement to join your Yarn Ball Society?
"You... Please move aside."
The Evil Prince's persistence was like a sticky candy, leaving the female spirit medium from the Medium Guild slightly annoyed. She reached into the pocket of her hooded robe and pulled out several yellowish fish scales. With a look of disgust, she shouted, "I'm not interested in your mysterious underground society! If you don't move, I'll summon spirits!"
"Hold on."
Through the vision of a black goat's soul, Leon observed the female spirit medium's soul approaching the strength of a Tier 1 Cleaner. He patiently explained, "Perhaps you won't believe me, but your Sorceress Kingdom is facing a massive crisis. The only ones who can possibly resolve this crisis are us, the Yarn Ball Society. So, I hope you'll..." He sighed, "Never mind."
Seeing the female spirit medium crush the dry fish scales in her hand, smearing the yellowish powder on her lips, Leon let out a soft sigh. He silently exchanged the pamphlet in his hand for an application form and extended it towards the woman.
"?"
After glancing at the application form Leon had handed her, the middle-aged woman cautiously took a step back. She immediately activated the Medium Guild's spirit summoning secret art.
In an instant, the gates of death opened a crack, and several powerful souls responded to her call, temporarily leaving the realm of the dead to possess the woman's body.
The woman's eyes flickered, and her irises and whites of her eyes inverted, emitting a thick aura of death. Ancient spirits instantly took control of her vibrant body.
"I hear your call," the woman intoned in a raspy voice, her eyes gleaming with a sinister smile. She opened her eyes and looked at the Evil Prince across from her, who wore an expression of helplessness.
"You are... the God of Food?!"
