Chapter 284 October 10, Witch Night, Dice Monster Preview

August 8, 24 p.m., at the Bo Ke family residence.

Ke Mingye leaned against the shoe cabinet and took off his Nike sneakers. He seemed to have forgotten to change into slippers, and walked into the entrance barefoot.

He absentmindedly walked through the dim entrance hall and glanced sideways. The entire living room was empty. He stood there thinking for a while, then walked into the living room and sat on the sofa.

Ke Mingye leaned his head against the back of the sofa, staring motionlessly at the pitch-black TV screen, on which a gray smiling face was slowly reflected.

The two looked at each other silently across the TV screen. Weird Thing adjusted his glasses and asked in a low voice, "Principal, are you interested in listening to the latest textbook customized by Weird Thing teacher? I have a new teaching plan for how to train these personalities."

"No time."

As he spoke, Ke Mingye looked away from the TV screen, summoned a mental sketch, and then wrote down the names of the other five witches in the Witch Church except Shi Naian on the sketch.

[Puppet Witch (Combat Power:?)]

[War Witch (Combat Power:?)]

[Crown Dream Witch (Combat Power:?)]

[Lost Witch (Combat Power:?)]

[Witch Black Rose (Combat Power: A-level)]

After looking at these five meaningful names for a while, Ke Mingye opened his mobile phone and looked through the information about the witches he had collected earlier, comparing them one by one in his mind.

[Puppet Witch], with white hair and white eyes, and covered in cloth that looks like white tree bark.

Once, an entire village in Norway was made into puppets, and the puppets were organized to hold a late-night dance party. The scene was so crazy that it was enough to make those who saw it unforgettable.

[Lost Witch], maple leaf-like hair, amber eyes, wearing a dark pointed hat and a witch's costume.

It once caused extreme emotions among the residents of an entire small Danish town, forcing them to commit suicide.

[War Witch], wearing a tattered Prussian military uniform and has red hair.

When she was still a magical girl, she fought for her country and made great achievements in important battles. But in the end, she fell into a witch on the mountains of corpses and brutally slaughtered all the captives and remaining soldiers.

[Crown Dream Witch], wearing a blue round nightcap, pajamas, and has blue wavy hair.

Compared with the above three, this witch's achievements are obviously more influential - she once caused several bigwigs of a certain United Nations to fall into a dream during a meeting. In the dream, they went crazy and made a series of declarations in front of the camera that caused chaos in the country, and then committed suicide in front of the people of the whole country.

Ke Mingye looked at their information and pondered in his heart:

"Logically speaking, unless an S-class fighter appears here, the Magical Girls Alliance's sharp combat power should be more than enough to deal with these people. The three giants are all top-level A-class fighters, and there is also Xiziyue, a demon that only appears once in thousands of years. She has more than enough cards up her sleeve.
"Besides, my father is in charge of Huanjing, and the same goes for my eldest brother. No matter how busy he is, he can't just sit there and do nothing.
“If all else fails, I have planted a double agent in the Witch Church. After Schnaian transforms into a witch, her tentacles can suppress magic power. They can be used for special attacks whether against magical girls or witches. It’s perfect for backstabbing those witches at critical moments.

"It seems that those witches don't think much of Shi Naian. However, although she may seem like a small fry, she is actually a very good trump card. Maybe she can play an unexpected role in the future."

Thinking of this, Ke Mingye sighed softly.

"So the biggest threat is not the witches themselves, but the 'Witches' Night' they always talk about. What exactly is this 'Witches' Night'? Let's see if we can get some information from the witches with the help of Schneian."

At the same time, on Lao Jingmai Street, on the bottom floor of a duplex apartment building.

The old light bulb emitted a dim light in the dim stairwell, and the metal door of the elevator car slowly opened.

Shi Naian yawned, then walked out of the car with his small schoolbag on his back and his head hung.

She walked through the dim corridor like a zombie, and stopped in time before leaving the apartment building. Like a vampire, she put on the hood of her hoodie before stepping into the sunlight. Even her eyes with heavy dark circles were almost covered by the brim of the hat.

Shortly after she stepped out of the apartment building, she saw a handsome man and a beautiful woman dressed in subculture style walking towards her. She smacked her lips and turned to walk into a damp and narrow alley.

But at this moment, Shi Naian was suddenly stunned.

Looking up, I saw a letter emitting a faint glow suddenly appear in front of me, floating in the air.

"Shi Naian, this, this is..." Kobe in spirit form exclaimed in her mind.

"The envelope that witch gave me last time, it seems that the witches are calling me."

"Yeah, it seems like we have to go." Kobe took a deep breath.

Shi Naian sighed and complained dejectedly, "Yeah, who knows what those guys will do to me if I don't go to the appointment. What about girl helps girl?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the huge Cuban Tower pattern appeared again above the blue sky, slowly unfolding in the sky like a folding umbrella. Passing birds screamed and scattered. People's exclamations and car horns were heard from all directions around Beijing.

Shi Naian looked up at the Tower of Babel pattern in the sky, knowing clearly in his heart that he could not delay any longer, so he lowered his head, looked around to make sure there was no one around, then slumped his shoulders, letting the backpack strap slide down his arm.

She unzipped her askew bag and pulled out a whip-shaped wand.

Holding the handle of the magic wand, in just a moment, her body broke out of the cocoon in the dim cocoon light and transformed into the appearance of the Witch of Sloth - a dark beret, covering the ink marks that raised the corners of her eyes, bat-like wings folded behind her, and a dark purple skirt.

Then, the Witch of Sloth reached out and grasped the dark letter floating in the air.

Then, just like last time, a magnificent beam of light suddenly descended from the tower in the sky, tightly wrapping her body.

The Witch of Sloth closed her eyes and let her body sink into the warm current like a waterfall.

When she opened her eyes again, she had already arrived at the meeting room reserved for witches.

However, today was different from the past. The chairs at the classical long table were not filled with those dolls with strange paintings. Only the witch Black Rose was sitting there quietly.

Black Rose was bored, resting her chin on her hand, crossing her legs, and quietly flipping through a photo album.

The photo album shows her when she was still the girl named "He Yinlu", and a group photo with two other companions - Bai Zini was making a scissors hand gesture, her face squeezed in front of the camera, with a sly smile on the corner of her mouth.

In silence, the Witch of Sloth took two steps forward, looked around, and finally confirmed that Black Rose was the only one there.

After a moment of silence, Black Rose said indifferently, "Don't worry, they are not here today."

"Then what is the purpose of calling me here alone?"

The Witch of Sloth asked while moving her eyes, sometimes looking at the ceiling, sometimes looking at the floor. She was really afraid that suddenly a strange human idol would crawl over like a spider and scare her.

"I called you here to inform you that we will launch Witch Night on October 10st. Before that... you'd better not leave Huanjing, otherwise the letter following you will send us a warning and report your location."

The witch Black Rose lowered her brows and spoke slowly.

"Then the War Witch and the Lost Witch will find you in person. The best outcome for you will probably be that the Puppet Witch will make you into a puppet and keep you by her side. Do you understand?"

The Witch of Sloth was silent for a while after hearing this, then she clasped her hands together and nodded slightly, "I have behaved myself. Please let me go."

She paused and said, "Then I won't leave. I will be your tool. Are you satisfied?"

Black Rose sneered: "You are quite self-aware."

"Shi Naian, hurry up and ask her what the Witch Night is!" Kobe reminded in his mind, "Otherwise you will be on this pirate ship without knowing why."

The Witch of Sloth sighed and asked, "So what exactly is Witch Night?"

"You'll know then."

Black Rose spoke casually, her eyes wandering over the face of the girl with a high ponytail in the album. Her sharp nails scratched across the photo, blurring the face slightly, but when she removed her nails, everything returned to normal.

"Then can I leave now?" The Witch of Sloth tilted her head.

"Let's go." Hearing her say that, the Witch of Sloth turned around without hesitation and walked into the open door, immersed in the deep light.

Soon, she returned to the alley. The glowing letter disappeared again, merging into her body.

At the same time, Ke Mingye switched back to his own perspective.

"Witch Night will come on October 10st, so I still have plenty of time to prepare. I will first upgrade my spiritual path to the third level, and complete Little Red Riding Hood's origin card..."

He thought to himself, "If I knew the fighting power of these witches, I wouldn't have to be so scared."

Ke Mingye thought for a while, opened the skill panel, selected the D-level skill above the No. 5 skill bar - [Chosen Day], and clicked [Use].

Then, dense text jumped out from the panel.

[Today is August 2028, 08. Please book a date at least "two months from today": on that day you will obtain the limited skill "The Chosen One" (Skill effect: within one hour, temporarily double all your attributes)]

[The date reserved when using this skill for the first time: June 2029, 06 (this date cannot be reserved repeatedly). ]

Ke Mingye was looking for the time on the calendar on the skill panel.

After a slight pause, he chose one of the dates without hesitation - [October 10st], which is also the time when the Witch Church calls "the arrival of Witch Night".

[The second "Chosen Day" usage time has been set to "October 10st". 】

[The skill "Chosen Day" will enter a 2-month cooldown period, which will end on "October 10."]

Ke Mingye stared at the words on the panel, thinking.

"In this way, when the Witch Night comes, I will have a one-time skill that can temporarily double my attributes."

He closed the panel, stood up from the sofa and walked forward.

"Thinking optimistically, with the doubled attributes, coupled with the 20th level of the Spinning Arm Rock-Paper-Scissors technique, and even the Little Red Riding Hood's Origin card, even if we can't turn the tide of the battle, it shouldn't be difficult to put pressure on those witches with an off-field surprise attack."

That night, in Yandai Primary School, there was a brightly lit classroom that stood out from the surroundings.

Magical girl Feng and magical girl Hong stood at the door. They called their seniors to report the special situation they encountered today. At this time, they saw that the big guys in the classroom were a little stage frightened. They looked at each other, as if they were hesitating about who should speak first.

Qili lowered the brim of her cowboy hat and said calmly, "Our time is precious."

"Don't say that, it will scare them." said Xiziyue, who was wearing a light blue cheongsam and had shoulder-length black hair.

Finally, it was the always timid Hong who spoke first. She said timidly, "Today, when Xiao Feng and I were playing against a wanted criminal in Tobacco Street, the magical girl in the photo suddenly appeared."

"Which magical girl?" asked Yuya, a magical girl from Iceland.

Hong replied, "The magical girl with the scythe."

"She showed up, but what did she do specifically?" asked Kunezakura.

"She... killed the criminal with the sickle in the photo." Hong said, "Little Maple Leaf and I were both shocked at the time. She turned around and said to us, "You're welcome. This is the strength of Lady Hongyue." Then she flew away. We didn't react in time. We should have stopped her. I'm sorry, senior."

Everyone was slightly stunned when they heard this.

A magical girl who kills people at will is at a high risk of falling into the trap of becoming a witch. Everyone present here knows this, so they were particularly surprised when they heard the information.

Only Little Red Riding Hood and Kobe understood what was going on and their hearts skipped a beat.

Kobe thought to himself, "Paranoia, can you stop thinking about K-head all the time? It's too arrogant to run to the magical girls and K-head. What if they catch me and interrogate me?"

Xiziyue's reaction was quite calm and unperturbed.

"I understand..." She took a sip of hot tea and continued calmly, "Since the magical girl is still in this city, we can find her. You don't need to worry too much."

After the words were spoken, silence briefly enveloped the classroom.

Qili broke the silence and turned to Kokonoe Sakura and asked, "Speaking of which, are you okay? I see you haven't been to school recently." She paused and said, "All those Chinese girls in your class came to me to ask for your contact information. Every time I could only say that we were not familiar with each other and rejected them."

Magical girl Kunou Sakura shrugged and pretended to be calm and said, "I'm fine. It's just a private matter of our family. I went back to Japan to deal with it and temporarily stabilized the public opinion. But I don't know when my brother...he will show up again. If he comes out and openly opposes the Amamiya family at this time, then our family may face an extremely chaotic situation."

At the end of her speech, her expression became slightly complicated, and the five fingers of her right hand holding the hilt of the knife quietly tightened.

"Speaking of family, family, you should actually care more about your brother, right?" Qili chewed gum.

"You don't need to worry about the eldest lady's affairs." Ryukako, who had been silent all the time, spoke.

The atmosphere in the classroom was solemn, but Xiziyue just ate potato chips without caring. After a while, she suddenly raised her eyebrows and said, "Oh, right... I almost forgot, I brought a new friend with me. You can get to know him."

As he spoke, a magical girl with long dark purple hair and a bow on her head walked into the classroom.

[Codename: Magical Girl Yuffie]

[Danger rating: A+]

[Introduction: He owns the extremely dangerous original card "Yuffy's Mechanical Castle" and is suspected of having an emotional dispute with the executive of the Control Bureau "Black Judge". ]

Seeing the figure walking into the classroom, Kobe's eye twitched slightly, and he thought to himself that it was a good thing that our eldest brother Lao Ke was not in the Beijing area, otherwise this perverted woman from Denmark would have ridden a mechanical fortress to the old Jingmai Street District?
However, just when everyone's attention was focused on You Fei, suddenly a bright white spider silk shot in from the window of the classroom on the side facing the playground, stuck to the cucumber-flavored potato chips in Xiziyue's hand, and pulled them over with a "whoosh".

Everyone in the classroom looked sideways warily and out the window upon hearing the sound, but Xiziyue was the only one who didn't bother to look back, with an indifferent expression.

Then, a human figure with a gray halo all over his body fell in from the window, holding a bag of cucumber-flavored potato chips in his left hand and a small trumpet in his right hand.

In full view of everyone, it raised its hips, walked slowly to the blackboard, and sat down on the podium.

Then he swung his legs, looked around with empty eyes, and greeted them in a relaxed tone: "Oh, isn't this my lovely magical girls? Since you have come to Huanjing, then Teacher Weird Things must come to teach you a lesson and let you understand the rules of this city."

After saying that, the strange thing picked up a piece of potato chip, put it in its mouth, and chewed it with a humming sound.

"You are very bold... There are only a few people in this world who dare to steal snacks from me."

Xiziyue tilted her head to look at it, with no expression on her face. Her tone was quite light, yet chilling.

"Oh, is that so... Then I am honored to be one of the few single digits mentioned by Miss Xiziyue. I believe you will be happy to share your snacks with me."

As he spoke, the strange thing licked the sauce on his fingers, then picked up a potato chip and put it in his mouth, chewing it while saying, "Then what's next--"

Before he could finish his words, an axe suddenly cut through the air and shot towards his head.

Fortunately, the monster's spider sense was on, and a buzzing sound exploded in its brain in advance, and goose bumps appeared all over its body. Then it just turned its head slightly and avoided the axe.

With a "bang", the axe hit the blackboard behind it deeply and was firmly nailed on it.

The strange thing was calm and at ease. While eating potato chips, he turned his head to look at Qili and said slowly: "This lady from the western United States, can you please not be so irritable... I came here to tell you important information. If your axe cuts off my head, then this information will be buried in the sea."

Qili pulled her cowboy hat down, her eyes beneath the brim as cold as a knife.

She asked word by word: "What kind of information?"

Hearing this, the strange thing slowly lowered its face and raised the index finger it had just licked. "Witch Night will come on October 10st, two months from now. As for where and how it will come, I can't tell you..."

After saying that, it shrugged and said, "Well, kids, isn't this exciting news?"
