Chapter 204: 182 Major Incident Omen (Seeking Monthly Votes)
The Caidai Witch didn’t think he was that incredible, and he preferred to recommend to Lin An a wizard known as the ‘Life Taster’.
The first time Lin An visited the Tree Hole Organization, he had encountered the guy squatting upstairs munching on a fragrant pear.
He was someone who enjoyed watching the fun.
According to the Caidai Witch, this wizard was a psychologist in real life, skilled at toying with people’s souls and memories.
This guy had a particularly amazing ability—he could implant fabricated memories into someone’s head, using them to trigger witchcraft.
In other words, he could ‘assemble witchcraft’ for others.
And that wasn’t even his most impressive skill; the ‘Life Taster’ was extremely good at large-scale compound witchcraft. By adjusting the memories of each team member, he could unite a team’s power to unleash a massive, high-intensity witchcraft.
He was the kind of person who could inspire a great power within an organization.
However, it seemed that ‘Kapok’ had not managed to recruit him, and now that the Tree Hole Organization was destroyed, Caidai guessed that, since he himself was being hunted by Kapok, the ‘Life Taster’ probably wasn’t faring any better.
Such a person…
Honestly, Lin An was not interested in him.
From his own theory of emotional digestion, this person was definitely on the path of evil. Modifying memories to create the source of witchcraft sounded really cool, and he figured that when the guy turned into a Sorcerer Zombie, he would be really cool too.
Cool as hell.
But Lin An didn’t want to get splattered with blood.
Besides, before leaving work, Lin An had used his Spirituality to help his brain remember the list Mr. Liu had given him, and this person was precisely on the list.
In other words—hey, Mr. Liu didn’t fancy him either.
“What do you all think?” Lin An pondered for a while and looked at everyone with a calm expression.
“Sounds impressive, Great Commander. We should unite all the people we can,” the middle-aged Lottery Wizard said earnestly.
“Your call, you make the decision,” the old accountant looked like a crafty old fox from the rivers and lakes.
“Let’s go check it out, all of us!”
Lin An smiled and looked at everyone. Taking action together to recruit a new member might be a good idea.
With such a wizard, plus the great upheaval of the Tree Hole Organization’s destruction and the Witch Hunter Knights’ ongoing citywide manhunt, he had a spiritual intuition that this matter wouldn’t be easy.
It was a good opportunity to see the actual effectiveness of these three people’s abilities.
At the Sorcerer’s Shelter, they would face many trials and tribulations in the future.
Little girl Caicai was sent home by the Caidai Witch, who had already discussed with his daughter that they would move to the headquarters of the ‘Sorcerer’s Shelter’ to live in the future. That evening, he asked Caicai to pack up her things to prepare for the move.
Moving to a place without the traces of his wife’s life might be a good choice for his daughter and himself.
Moreover, as more members joined the Shelter, and more families moved in, Caicai wouldn’t always be alone.
Yue’er climbed to the roof of a tall building, where the city’s nightlife twinkled with neon lights.
Having grown accustomed to living under the suppression of the Witch Hunter Knights, several wizards seemed to prefer night operations.
Listening to the Caidai Witch’s stories about the psychological counseling clinic where the ‘Life Taster’ worked and the urban life corners he had observed, the old accountant began to use witchcraft to manipulate the Destiny Compass, letting destiny guide them to find the wizard.
Soon, the effect of the witchcraft became apparent.
First, a bus broke down by the road, forcing them to get off at a crossroad. Then there was a car accident on a certain road section, making the taxi they were in take a long detour.
As they walked, they found themselves on the city’s ring road.
“I’m telling you, oh, it might seem like I’m taking a detour, but it definitely won’t cause a jam, and it’s actually faster,” rambled the taxi driver without a break, “Some people think we drive a few extra kilometers to make a few more bucks off them, but time is often more valuable than those few bucks.”
Lin An looked through the car window at the sky with a thoughtful expression and cocked an eyebrow, “Driver, you can stop here, please.”
“Time is money, many people don’t understand, eh? Eh!” The driver paused, turned to look at Lin An, “What did you say?”
“This is a good place to stop.”
“Are you crazy!!!”
They got out of the car, and as the small car drove away, faint curses could be heard.
The old accountant was unhappy, and had he thought it wouldn’t be fatal to mess with someone driving, he would have definitely gotten back at the foul-mouthed driver.
“Great Commander, we’ve stopped here…” The Caidai Witch looked around. This was the city’s outer ring road, surrounded by nothing but the road itself. Had it not been for the city’s well-lit street lights, it would have been perfect for filming a horror movie.
Lin An squinted and looked up at the sky.
With his practice of the Breathing Skill Furnace, his use of the Spirit Eye had grown increasingly sensitive. He could vaguely see certain spiritual visions even without anyone’s gaze on him.
A giant rabbit with red eyes towered over the world below, as if it were on a hunt.
Without a doubt, it must be the three from Feng Xin.

Now that the Eye Wraith was purportedly dead, these three should have returned to where they came from.
But Rabbit-Eyed Demon Hunter Feng Xin kept muttering that the ‘kapok’ sorcerer with the eye wraith visage hadn’t died and stubbornly refused to leave.
“There seems to be a problem over there!” The old accountant, clutching his dry tobacco pipe, looked towards the horizon with surprise and turned his head towards Lin An, the mysterious Lin An, who had sensed the situation even before he did.
Lin An glanced at him, “What’s the problem?”
The old accountant exhaled a puff of smoke and smacked his lips, “It’s a bit bitter, but there’s a hint of sweetness afterwards. It’s pretty elusive. But it looks like there is a flame over there capable of causing a huge change.”
He looked at Lin An, “I usually call this a sign of trouble. If you mess with it, there’s a great opportunity, but also great risk.”
“I see…” Lin An fiercely suppressed the ‘ambitions’ burning wildly in his heart. Where peril and opportunity coexist, that is precisely the ground for a feast for the ambitious.
Just then, Lin An felt his mind blur. Suddenly, an array of images began to take shape in his mind.
The images were just a few blurry figures.
After a while, the images stabilized, looking exceptionally clear.
Rabbit-Eyed Demon Hunter Feng Xin, the ‘Life Taster’ wizard, and a witch looking like a college student and a wizard in high school uniform.
The Lottery wizard excitedly waved his arm, “Instant dream entry, instant exit. I reckon nobody got a chance to react.”
He said to everyone in the ‘daydream’, “There are four people in that direction.”
With that, he began to gesture, and the images in the daydream began to change. First were Rabbit-Eyed Demon Hunter Feng Xin and the high school uniformed wizard. It looked like the young wizard was tied up.
The witch resembling a college student was preparing to slip inside to rescue him, with Feng Xin waiting for her to make her move.
Last but not least, in the nearby bushes, the ‘Life Taster’ wizard was squatting and looking particularly sleazy.
“Praying mantis catches the cicada, with the oriole behind, huh?” the Caidai Witch exclaimed in surprise as she watched the mental image.
“So, are we the hunters going after the oriole?” the old accountant asked with glee while drawing on his dry tobacco pipe, grinning at everyone.
“We mustn’t underestimate anyone and be cautious,” the Lottery wizard reminded him seriously.
Saying that, the three of them all turned to look at Lin An.
They were all waiting for Lin An to decide whether to get involved in this affair.
Yet Lin An was thinking…
He apparently didn’t have any decent fighting techniques to brandish!
Firstly, the black cat transformation and the Zou Yu transformation wouldn’t be possible to use in front of Rabbit-Eyed Demon Hunter Feng Xin at this time.
Secondly, the witchcraft he mastered, whether it was Sky Drifter Eyes or Spirit Eye, seemed to be unlikely to make a decisive impact.
As for Witch-hunting Knight techniques, he did have a powerful offensive move—the Flaying Skill.
But this Flaying Skill required close contact to use, and with his level of combat prowess, he didn’t seem capable enough to utilize this art fully.
After careful consideration, it seemed the only things he could present were the five basic witchcraft skills he had just learned today?
Oh~
No, that’s not right, a flash crossed Lin An’s expression.
What he could most rely on were these three subordinates who possessed powerful witchcraft skills.
That’s not right either!
As a Lu Jiao person, Lin An’s greatest strength should be the stack of awesome uncles and aunts behind him.
He thought for a moment, took out his phone, and called the junior boss, “I took a few wizards out to assess their skills and ended up strolling to the edge of the city.”
The junior boss was stunned on the other end of the phone, then said, “Send me your location, and I’ll come to pick you up.”
Thank you.
I felt a warmth.
Without any hesitation.
Lin An smiled slightly, raised his head to look into the distance, and said in a grave tone, “It seems that Feng Xin and the others are hunting wizards.”
“Damn it!” the junior boss roared, “You’re saying they’re poaching on our turf?!”
Headhunting…
Well, Lin An nodded solemnly, “Yes!”
“The nerve, An, you figure out a way to hold them off. I’m going to rally the troops and take them down together!”
It’s not necessary, not necessary.
Before Lin An could say anything else, the phone on the other end had already clicked shut.
Lin An sent him the location and looked up at his three subordinates, “We don’t have much time left.”
