Chapter 106 - 106 Who is disturbing my sleep at 099
?Chapter 106: Who is disturbing my sleep at 099? Chapter 106: Who is disturbing my sleep at 099? “Are you robots? Or perhaps the legendary living puppets?” Lin An looked at Puppet UH001 with some curiosity. But he knew it wasn’t that; the figure before him was undoubtedly Mr. Liu.
“We are members of the ‘Crazy Magician’s Tree Hole’ organization’s ‘Mortal Aid Department,’ possessed by the magical powers of witchcraft and inhabiting these puppets to serve the great wizards.”
The puppet spoke with utmost humility.
Yet Lin An wasn’t interested in what it was saying; he was asking about Mr. Liu’s Spiritual Grey Wolf.
The grey wolf sniffed curiously, looking at Lin An with confusion, but nevertheless provided an answer.
“Howl~”
—— Damn it, we’re not robots, we’re human, human! Everyone joined Tree Hole through various means; I was directed to a ‘Number 77 Pawnshop’ where I sold my dreams in exchange for a cure for my impotence.
—— Every time I fall asleep, I enter this place from my dreams, then serve these damn wizards!
—— I’m so envious, so envious, why am I not a wizard! Why oh why~~!
“So that’s how it is…” Lin An raised an eyebrow, “Mind control? Fascinating, are your bodies not in Tree Hole then? Just at home by themselves?”
Mr. Liu merely shook his head humbly, “I’m sorry, great wizard, but it’s against the Tree Hole Organization’s rules to disclose any personal information to anyone, including wizards.”
“Howl~”
—— Do you think I’d tell you that I’m at the Green Sail Hotel?
—— Damn, in order to find a wizard to help me kill Lin An, I have to take sleeping pills in broad daylight to force myself to sleep.
—— These wizards are either sinister as ghosts or outright lunatics; there’s no way to communicate with them!
—— Damn, the last two wizards I found were absolute maniacs. I asked them to kill Lin An, but they went after some witch instead. Thank goodness I hadn’t paid them yet.
—— Damn it, where can I find a wizard who’s short on money now?
—— This newbie doesn’t understand what Innate Witchcraft is; if it’s related to killing, that would be great. Newbies are the easiest to trick!
“Is that so?”
Lin An nodded thoughtfully, without confirming or denying.
After a brief conversation, another puppet dressed in dark blue came over with a stack of documents, quietly standing by.
“Is there something I need to register?” Lin An waved him over.
The puppet in dark blue quickly took a seat across and unfolded the folder, ready to register with a pen in hand.
His seat was conspicuously lower, causing him to look up at Lin An.
“Respected wizard, what is your code name?”
“Painter.”
“Okay.” He wrote swiftly on the documents and continued asking, “The thing you are most skilled at is…”
Lin An glanced at the grey wolf beside him and deliberately let out a ‘hehehe’ laugh, licking his lips, “Hunting!”
“Ah?”
“Hunting, darling, I enjoy killing, understand? I’m most skilled at stabbing people with a knife!”
The puppet in dark blue appeared frightened, and quickly bowed his head to jot down notes.
Mr. Liu’s eyes lit up at that.
Hunting?
Murder?
Isn’t this just like a sleepy person being offered a pillow, or being given a down jacket in a snowstorm!
What a coincidence!
“Do you have any demands of the Tree Hole Organization? Or is there something big you want to accomplish?”
The puppet in dark blue continued, not waiting for Lin An’s answer but began to explain, “There are many clubs within the Tree Hole Organization, everyone looks for like-minded individuals based on this information. If there are suitable missions, store shipments, or group activities, etc., a waiter will contact you specifically.”
Lin An smirked slightly, “Money! I need money!”
The grey wolf roaming by suddenly approached, howling eagerly.
—— I have money, help me kill someone! Damn, I can’t be hasty, wait a bit more, I need to observe what this wizard is really like!
—— Heh, these wizards right after awakening are all the same, fixated on money. Disgusting, utterly disgusting. Not a single one with noble pursuits, revolting!
The puppet in dark blue hurriedly took notes, “Great wizard, we recommend you check out the ‘Mutual Aid Store’ on the second floor in your spare time. There are often high-paying tasks posted there.”
“Is that so~”
Lin An laughed hehehe, “Very well, thanks for the tip.”
The registration continued, and Lin An noted that the Tree Hole Organization’s registration questions were mostly about ‘your desires’ and less concerned with ‘who you are.’
Maybe…
This was to facilitate the analysis of future directions in witchcraft for wizards?
Witchcraft power comes from within, perhaps Lin An wasn’t wrong.
After randomly answering some questions, he signed the ‘Wizards Existence Secrecy Contract’ once more and received a very thick printed document from the puppet in deep blue clothing, titled “29 Essential Pieces of Information for Newbie Sorcerers”.
1. In the initial stages post-awakening, a sorcerer’s mind is active, emotions fluctuate wildly and irregularly, one must have ways to regulate these or there is a high risk of transforming into a ‘Witch Beast’.
2. Beastification is irreversible, it’s best to control one’s emotions to prevent it, but excessive suppression can also accelerate the transformation. The Tree Hole Organization offers an ’emotional grooming’ solution, which can be exchanged for 200 points at the ‘Mutual Aid Store’ on the second floor.
3. Points can generally be obtained by trading with organization members, picking up missions at the mission store, or through various exchanges at shops. Sorcerer novices can choose tasks according to their situation.
4. …
The information newbies need to know is broadly two things.
The first is the issue of emotional fluctuation, which Lin An had already learned about through other means.
The second is the operation of the Tree Hole Organization, which seems more like a place of knowledge exchange where the knowledge in question is—witchcraft.
Lin An narrowed his eyes and analyzed each useful piece of information carefully.
Suddenly, a crazed, piercing shriek came from outside the window.
It was like the whistling sound of a boiling kettle.
Before anyone could react, a terrible explosion made the whole house shake.
“Damn it!”
The puppet in deep blue clothing quickly gathered all the documents and hurried towards the shelves.
Mr. Liu quickly approached, “Wizard Sir, there is a battle outside involving other wizards. We need to promptly seal the folding spaces on the second and third floors to avoid you getting accidentally trapped in a folding space. Please come with me to the first floor.”
Lin An nodded, neatly folded the document, and put it into his pocket.
However, before they could take action, the wooden wall next to them suddenly bulged, as if a bubble had suddenly appeared on the surface of water.
Boom~
The wall burst, and countless wooden splinters and cement stones sprayed out.
Mr. Liu, in panic, crouched and hid under a table, but he and the table were blasted away together.
On the other hand, Lin An calmly watched everything unfold, ‘Sky-Scanning Eyes’ rapidly expanding, the spirituality within him swiftly mobilized to assist his brain in calculations, and he slightly shifted his body to dodge the flying debris that could cause him harm.
“Are you ‘the Painter’?”
Through the smoke and dust of the ruins, with the sorcerer’s robe fluttering in the wind, a wizard wearing a squirrel mask stared coldly at Lin An.
Do I know you?
Before Lin An could speak, several Caidai ribbons danced towards him, intertwining and weaving in mid-air, forming a human-shaped dumpling with a face covered in a ceramic mask printed with calculus equations.
“Da Susu, what’s gotten into you?”
The squirrel-masked wizard took a deep breath, “My brother died last night, he went to guide a newcomer and on his way home he was butchered by a Witch-hunting Knight!”
“Ha~” A laugh echoed overhead, through the hole in the broken wall where the ceiling had exploded open. Above, someone with a pear crouched at the gap, looking down, “Da Susu, I heard your little brother was secretly using witchcraft to enhance his abilities in a massage parlor. He got found out by the Knight next door who was also diligently working. And then, hilariously, he died with his belly up like a dead bird.”
“!!!”
“Oh, that’s killing me!” the person above said with glee, watching the chaos below, “You don’t dare to take revenge on the Witch-hunting Knight, so you come after a newbie. Da Susu, you’ve really got some nerve.”
Da Susu just shook his head stubbornly, “If my brother hadn’t gone to be a guide, none of this would have happened.”
He then coldly regarded Lin An, “I want you to accompany him in death!”
But his spirituality told a different story.
A giant pig with nine hooves sitting on the ground roared furiously, “I had hardly managed to turn my little brother into a ‘Scapegoat Straw Man’, that was my best trump card!!!”
“Wuwuwu… I’m so sad… so very sad~~~~”
Boom~
The wooden floor suddenly bulged and then instantaneously exploded, destroying the entire attic.
With a massive roar, Lin An was buried in the rubble in an instant.
Outside the rubble, Da Susu’s eyes were cold as he raised his hand again, while the two wizards who had been talking watched the commotion with grins.
Inside the rubble, Lin An’s eyes were icy, yet his expression remained eerily calm.
Countless black hairs swiftly grew from his body; his head rapidly expanded and twisted, transforming into a round cat’s head.
The cat’s eyes slowly opened, the pupils mysterious and deep.
Inside him, the spirituality of the ‘dark gold statue’ flesh and blood fragments from the ‘rabbit mask wizard’ seethed.
Boom~
Debris flew everywhere!
The black cat slowly stepped out of the rubble, “Who is it? Who dares disturb my sleep?!!!”
