On the fourteenth day after Chen Jingren arrived here, people in the village came here as usual to worship at the temple after dawn and unexpectedly discovered Julia.
Those villagers who had been harmed by Shura grass before had not dared to remove the Shura grass around the temple because they had seen the familiar's methods before. To avoid passing out again, bring the necessary equipment to cover your mouth and nose to prevent inhalation when you come.
In fact, they didn't need to do it today. Chen Jingren was afraid that Julia would also be tricked, so he removed all the Shura grass.
When they arrived at the temple, they found a little girl they had never seen before sitting in front of the temple.
After asking around, I found out that this girl was actually from Magale Village, and the reason why she was here was brought by the familiar herself.
The familiar master not only brought the person, but also ordered the villagers through the girl's mouth to take Julia to the city of Lille and hand it over to the city lord.
Julia told the villagers everything Chen Jingren told them, and said in Chen Jingren's tone: "As long as you send me to the destination, everyone will come back."
Of course, all the people Julia was talking about were the children who had been sold to James before.
Although the villagers were dubious, this little girl actually knew what happened in their village. If the familiar had not told her, how did she know about it?
Therefore, the villagers did not dare to neglect and quickly arranged for people to escort Julia to the city of Lille.
Seeing all these beautiful and delicious foods gone, Chen Jingren felt a little disappointed.
"These villagers are actually smart. If so, how can I absorb the essence without being seen?"
Although it was a headache to battle the villagers' wits and courage, Chen Jingren knew that someone would soon give him a house.
As long as Julia goes to Lille City to meet the big shots and retells what she told her about James and her alliance with humans, humans will definitely come to see him.
A zombie saved a girl from the poisonous hands of James, and sent her to Lille without harming the girl. This incident alone should gain the favor of humans.
Chen Jingren also handed over the alliance letter that he had prepared long ago to Julia. The letter stated that if humans are interested, they will have talks at Luomapo, thirty miles west of Lille, tonight.
Although he had made an appointment to meet with humans, Chen Jingren did not have enough material to impress humans at the moment.
And it must be the kind of material that is horrifying, dangerous and explosive.
Chen Jingren has never met the witch in person. He can only know from other people's descriptions that the witch is an otaku and always likes to study weird things.
Moreover, the dangerous things that were researched were not properly managed, and Yashamaru could be brought out from there.
He is simply a guy with no sense of responsibility and a bad personality.
Just when Chen Jingren was trying his best to discredit the witch, a wealthy woman in her forties or fifties that he had never seen before in the village entered the temple.
He didn't expect that someone would come alone at this time, and what surprised Chen Jingren was that he didn't sense this woman's aura at all.
And this woman was also very strange, just looking around at this small temple.
She neither prayed nor attended the ceremony, and she must not be a villager in Camille Village.
Because all the villagers who came here today covered their mouths and noses tightly, but this one didn't take any precautions.
Chen Jingren didn't intend to attack her, he just hoped that this weird woman would leave quickly after she was done.
As if she had read through Chen Jingren's thoughts, the woman started to visit casually.
The woman touched the witch statue and said, "This witch statue is quite well made, but the familiar statue here looks a lot worse. I heard earlier that the familiars of the Witch of Babylon live in this temple. , I didn’t expect to see any familiars at all when I came here. On the contrary, would a familiar be really here in such a dark and humid place?”
The other party specifically emphasized the moisture, as if he meant something.
From the other party's tone and attitude, Chen Jingren had already guessed who it was.
The woman continued: "I don't know who the fool came up with the idea to build a temple to worship the statue of the witch. The witch is not dead, so there is no need for living people to worship her. Do you think so too?"
Seeing that the other party had discovered him, Chen Jingren had no choice but to walk out with Yashamaru.
"I didn't expect that the famous Witch of Babylon would come to visit my small temple. On the contrary, I, as a guest, was flattered."
The visitor is none other than the Witch of Babylon, but the person who appears this time may not be her true form.
"What guest? Aren't you the familiar?"
When Chen Jingren saw that the witch might be angry, he couldn't help but panic.
"You are joking. I used your name before because of desperation. But if I could become your familiar, I would be willing to do so. That way I wouldn't have to deceive you like this. Hiding.”
"For such an interesting zombie like you, I am very happy to accept you as a familiar. But I have no interest in trying to win someone's love."
After hearing this, Chen Jingren felt his head buzzing. The witch's words confirmed his judgment.
"What's so attractive about that place? I'm free. You won't make fun of me anymore, will you?"
The witch looked at Chen Jingren with interest, and then at Yashamaru.
"Hasn't that guy told you the truth yet? He is really able to keep his composure."
As soon as he mentioned this, Chen Jingren couldn't help but ask: "The guy you are talking about refers to the former black-clothed high priest James?"
The witch also showed a meaningful smile and did not answer or object to Chen Jingren.
"Haha, what do you think? You must have been attracted by the strong desire of the master who summoned you to come here. Think about it, what have you done since you came here?"
This news was like a thunderbolt in the blue sky for Chen Jingren. It turned out that the arrangement of this script was that the wanted criminal James summoned himself here in order to take revenge on mankind.
Then he is definitely his master, which would explain why he would help him instead of killing him.
Looking at Chen Jingren's disappointed look, the witch continued: "I know you are not willing, but a master and a slave are masters and slaves. Even if you don't know who the master is, your every move is still for his wish." And service. This is something you cannot refuse, and it is also the value of your own existence. If you think too much, you will doubt, and doubt will turn into opposition, and if you oppose the master, you will lose the value of your existence. In that way, you will There is no other way but to return to nothingness.”
After hearing the witch's instructions, Chen Jingren completely understood.
It turns out that what I did after I came here was not out of my own will but entirely for that guy James.
And as a servant summoned by him, I couldn't resist him at all.
If you resist, you will disappear to nowhere, and the nature of the entire game will no longer be the same.
This is not fighting for survival at all, but working for the boss.
After this boss achieves his goal, he will definitely abandon himself as a consumable.
Chen Jingren has always been taken advantage of, and the boss is not satisfied with him not eating people.
His future is no longer in his own hands, but firmly in the hands of others.
Chen Jingren was in a state of confusion at the moment, and he couldn't bear the huge reversal blow.
"Why are you telling me this, and what is your purpose here? I am just a puppet. If you have any expectations from me, you may be disappointed."
The witch of Babylon let out a series of dark laughter.
"Disappointed? To be honest, when I saw you for the first time, I didn't expect you to be a useless fish with no fighting power. Of course, even your master thought so. We thought there was something wrong with the summoning and it failed, so we didn't expect it. I didn't contact you. But your behavior in the future really impressed us. You obviously had no strength but could instigate tensions between the various camps with just one mouth, and yet you managed to escape unscathed. You obviously could do it when facing those guys. You are at ease, why do you lose so much confidence when you hear your master? Although you are acting for him under the influence of his wishes, for you, you still have your own plans. Do you want to just accept your fate and give up? I I think your master must have not told you because he was afraid that you would be hit and depressed."
After listening to the witch's words, Chen Jingren also figured it out.
From Judas' game to now, hasn't he been in this situation every time?
This is a game full of fraud and you can never say you have won until the very last moment.
So what if I was summoned by James? After all, he is just a slightly more advanced NPC than him.
Chen Jingren let out a relieved laugh, and even the nervous Yashamaru was infected.
"Hahaha... The witch-sama must be here just to poach you, right? I just want to join you regardless of what you said."
The witch also smiled and said: "I don't dare to let a dangerous guy like you stay by my side. That kind of blessing will be left to your master. I came here to ask you and tell humans the news about James in Witch's Hill. , what are your plans?"
The witch finally explained her purpose, and Chen Jingren had just brought the little girl back last night. The witch now knew that she was going to betray James.
Chen Jingren also stopped smiling and asked coldly: "Is this your problem or that guy's problem?"
"To be precise, it's my problem. Your master even wants you to tell humans about his presence in my place. In that case, I will either hand him over or be dragged into the water by him. As a witch, I can't Bow to humans, so I want to ask you what your intentions are."
