Chapter 608: Chapter 287: Major Family Event III: The Witching Night (Part 2)_3
White-haired and white-eyed, draped in white bark-like fabric, the “Doll Witch”;
Wearing a pointed hat, dressed in dark wizard robes, with pupil and hair color like maple leaves, the “Lost Witch”;
Dark red long hair, dressed in tattered Prussian military uniform, the “War Witch”;
Wearing a blue round hat, dressed in light blue pajamas, with blue wavy curly hair, the “Crown Dream Witch”.
Under the candlelight, these four exquisitely crafted dolls were tilting their heads in unison, their button eyes staring at the Sloth Witch.
The Sloth Witch sighed softly, withdrew her gaze, stepped to the edge of the altar, and the barrier closed, trapping her and Magical Girl Ash together.
“This is a good child…” the Lost Witch’s doll whispered.
“We won’t keep you here for long,” said the Doll Witch’s doll, emotionlessly speaking.
The War Witch’s doll asked, “Who would have thought it’d be so easy to capture her?” As it spoke, the doll stiffly turned its head, its red button eyes sizing up the gothic-skirted girl on the altar.
The Lost Witch said, “It wasn’t supposed to be this easy… but after all, she has acquaintances here.”

As her voice fell, the four dolls simultaneously turned back, their button eyes fixed on Witch Black Rose.
“She is really foolish…”
Witch Black Rose said softly, using thorns as steps she climbed upwards, her gaze level with the cross where Ash was tied.
“Just by sending one text message, she was easily tricked into coming out.”
At three o’clock in the morning today, Witch Black Rose used the email address from her former identity as “He Yinlu” to send an email to Bai Zini.
The content of the mail was simple, starting with the code phrase “Baccano1929” that she once set with Bai Zini during elementary school, followed by an address and a sentence – “Come alone, I just want to meet you.”
After receiving this email, Magical Girl Ash did not hesitate and slammed the door shut, carrying the Magic Umbrella Cinderella, and arrived at the secluded park. As she was looking around under the moonlight amidst falling snow, she did not find the person she wished to see.
Instead, she saw “Witch Black Rose” and the “Lost Witch” waiting there.
At this moment, the girl in Gothic attire was hanging her eyelids, unconscious, her beautiful hair cascading beside her ears, sliding over her snow-white cheeks.
The War Witch, after hearing the whole story, remarked with neither warmth nor fervor: “Should we just say she’s merely a teenager after all…”
The Crown Dream Witch’s doll rubbed its button eyes, sounding exhausted, “Whatever means we used to get her it’s good… The most troublesome part is over, the rest is about when our stage opens.”
Black Rose was silent for a moment, then pointed with thorns at the Sloth Witch saying, “Now that we have six witches including Ash, the conditions for launching the Witch’s Night have been met… Should we let the Sloth Witch go? She is not very strong by herself and seems redundant here.”
The Sloth Witch sat on the stone steps of the altar, holding her face with both hands, feeling utterly dejected: “I have no objections, you big shots fight, I might as well roll back and go to sleep.”
“No,” the Doll Witch said coldly, “In fact, the Sloth Witch is one of the keys to initiating the Witch’s Night, and Ash has a different role.”
“What do you mean by a different role…” Black Rose raised her eyebrows slightly, asking in confusion.
“You’ll know on October 31,” the Doll Witch replied.
Black Rose remained silent and did not dare to ask further.
The Crown Dream Witch’s doll tilted its head and asked, “But speaking of the Round Table Council, won’t Xizi Yue seek help from them? If Zeus comes, we’ll be in trouble… ugh…” her doll yawned, its mouth connected by yarn opened, appearing a bit ghastly, “I’m telling you right now… if Zeus shows up, I’ll be the first to run. I’m not fighting a battle with no chances of winning.”
“No,” asserted the Doll Witch, “Xizi Yue knows this is her ‘private matter.’ With her pride as a once-in-four-thousand-years magical girl genius, she would not want to involve others, much less seek help from the Round Table Council…”
She paused: “Moreover, even if Zeus does come, it’s not certain he can defeat us.”
“You really understand Xizi Yue,” War Witch sneered.
The Doll Witch’s doll did not reply, it just stiffly, slowly turned its head, the doll’s white button eyes unmoving as they stared at the War Witch, silent.
Just then, the Crown Dream Witch’s doll asked: “Let’s not talk about the Round Table Council anymore… that annoying crow, is he still around Huanjing?”
The Lost Witch casually answered, “The power I applied last night has already taken effect. The hallucinations caused by the side effects of his abilities were already severe, and now with my power added, he’s probably gone completely mad by now, posing no threat to us.”
Hearing this, the War Witch’s doll sneered coldly.
She calmly stated, “Then we have no reservations… Qing Ya is a member of the Round Table Council, who could summon various dangerous figures from the council at any time. Conversely, without his commands, the other branches of the Superhero Association wouldn’t rashly send support to avoid offending him… Now that Qing Ya has gone mad, to us, this war is already in our hands.”
“Are you sure Qing Ya has left Huanjing?”
The Doll Witch asked again.
The Crown Dream Witch also said, “I suggest you double-check, we almost fell into his trap once before…”
