Chapter Thirty-Four: Hostage? Just say it if you want me to die
Melody, who was sitting on the marble slab, felt a chill, just like her heart was getting colder.
Originally, Melody was sighing at the seaside, watching the green flames rising into the sky, but who could have thought that the situation would change drastically, and she would soon be responsible for the fire under the castle.
If killing is a matter of mortal hatred, then setting a fire is a desperate act. The level of hatred is obviously slightly higher than killing. Now, Melody is facing dozens of witches whose homes have been burned, and there may be more downstairs.
This is actually okay. Although Melody is afraid of death, as a witch, she certainly has her own pride, but she fears two people more than death, and one of them is Witch Queen Morissa.
Witch Queen Morissa was the blond woman. Although she was always smiling, the things she had done had awakened Melody from nightmares countless times.
"You are so capable, you actually brought outsiders to burn down Westport."
A cold female voice came, and Melody looked closely. It was a girl with short black hair. The girl's ears were covered with earrings. Her breath was as cold as metal.
"Are you...Kay?"
Melody looked at the girl in surprise. In her impression, she was still a little kid, a follower who followed her every day.
"It should be called Lord Kai."
With a bang, a big and round witch kicked Melody in the lower abdomen. With Melody's small body, she was kicked away with one kick.
"Be respectful, White Witch."
As soon as Melody was kicked out, a witch grabbed her hair and threw her back into the crowd.
Ta, da, da...
Metal stepped on the ground, and the girl named Kai came to Melody, leaned over and sat on her back, crossing her legs.
"That was a long time ago. Now is not the time to be nostalgic. Tell me how many accomplices you have."
Kai sat on Melody's back, and the other witches couldn't continue to punch and kick her, so they could only gather around angrily.
"Accomplice..."
Melody laughed sadly.
"What, are you going to sacrifice yourself for your little witch hunter lover? If you were so loyal back then, how could you end up in your current situation."
Kai snorted lightly and used three fingers to pinch the back of Melody's neck.
"Little lover...poof~"
Melody suppressed a smile, and the witches around her were slightly confused.
"You..." Melody looked up and looked around, saying with a slight disdain: "I just captured a prisoner, why are you so confident?"
"captive?"
Kai bowed and put his head in front of Melody. The distance was so close that they could even feel each other's breathing.
"In other words, you are not an accomplice of that witch hunter?'
"Don't believe her lies..."
"Shut up! Otherwise I will kill you right now!"
Kai turned to look at the witch who interrupted her. She was no longer joking, but would really kill the other person, even if Witch Queen Morissa was present.
The witch tilted her head shyly. Although she was displeased, she did not dare to openly provoke Kai. In Westport, apart from Witch Queen Morissa, Kai had the highest status.
"You just said you were a prisoner?"
Kai's expression returned to calm, and she tightened her fingers on Melody slightly.
"Yes, I am a prisoner, a prisoner with a bomb implanted in his body."
When Melody said she had a bomb inside her body, the witches around her took a few steps back.
Kai and Melody looked at each other, and she seemed to be judging the truth of what Melody said before.
"I was brought to Westport just because I knew the terrain here. As for how many witch hunters there were, I don't know. I was locked in a carriage and blindfolded the entire journey from the Central Plains to the West. Only one person came into contact with me.
He's just a witch hunter. He's about 20 years old. That guy... is a devil. He treats me..."
At this point, Melody shed tears in her eyes, but at this moment, her eyes suddenly widened because Kai put his hand into her clothes and quickly explored downwards.
"You lied."
"..."
Melody's cheeks twitched and her face looked very unnatural. She had forgotten something very important.
"Queen, leave this traitor to me. Within two hours, I guarantee she will tell everything."
Kai looked at Witch Queen Morissa, who remained silent.
"How can you treat your family so rudely?"
Morrissa waved her hand, signaling Kai to let go of Melody. Kai stood up slowly. Although she was reluctant, she could only do it.
Melody felt secretly bitter in her heart. Although it was dangerous to cooperate with Su Xiao, after confirming the identity of the collaborator, at least her life was not in danger. What she did not expect was that she would fall into the hands of these witches.
"Where is that thing?"
Morrissa's simple words made Melody feel a chill in her heart.
"I hid that thing in..."
Melody's voice became lower and lower. Of course she couldn't tell her that she had lost Morrissa's family heirloom, because that would be the same as committing suicide.
"Did you lose it? In this case, you are useless."
One moment she was treating her like a family member, but now, Molissa waved her hand, indicating that Melody should be dealt with.
"Queen, I suggest using her as a hostage. Her relationship with the witch hunter who set the fire is not simple. According to her description, she and the witch hunter arrived here from the Central Plains together. This should not be false. The Central Plains is a witch hunter after all.
The hunter's base camp, such a long distance away, the witch hunter actually didn't do anything out of the ordinary for her. This cannot be explained by the captives, so I concluded that her relationship with the witch hunter who set the fire was not simple. It was very possible
It’s a partnership.”
Kai hurried forward. In fact, everyone could see that she was trying to protect Melody from death, whether she was sitting on Melody before or now asking to take Melody as a hostage.
“Nice suggestion.”
The corners of Morrisa's mouth curled up, and she agreed to Kai's proposal. When she heard the conversation between the two, Melody laughed miserably, she was dead.
boom!
A loud bang exploded on the outer wall of the castle, and the whole castle shook.
Boom, boom, boom...
The castle seemed to be under bombardment, and the ground shook instantly. Morissa's body flashed with golden light, and large energy meridians connected her to the entire castle.
It took nearly a minute for the earth to shake and the mountains to shake before the castle calmed down. A large number of valuable items were smashed, the outer walls of the castle were covered with cracks, and lightning could still be seen flashing.
One kilometer away, Su Xiao pulled the gun bolt, and the hot eggshells flew up. The castle in the distance was unexpectedly strong. Not only could it withstand the green flames for a long time, but it could also withstand more than a dozen shots from Duke Nukem.
Su Xiao confirmed that all the witches in Westport have entered the castle. As long as they kill through it, the gathering place of witches in Westport will naturally fall apart.
While Su Xiao was reloading Duke Nukem's bombs, BooBoo Wang appeared out of thin air behind him.
"Woof, woof woof, woof~"
"Oh? Melody was captured? And taken as a hostage?"
Su Xiao looked slightly surprised. He really didn't expect those witches to take Melody as a hostage.
"Go and inform Eminem. There's no need to hit the mountain. Just rush over."
Su Xiao put away Duke Nukem. Hades has begun to spread to the surrounding mountains. It won't take long before it may burn into the surrounding sea areas. With the burning properties of Hades, sea water is flammable, but it will accelerate.
Dis's extinction speed.
Looking around at this time, more than 95% of the buildings in Sihanoukville have been burned down, and the civilians have no idea where to flee.
