Gacha games can't save this bizarre world.

The bald man, kneeling in a sorry state, was now surrounded by enemies on all sides.

That despicable sheriff even kept shooting at himself with a machine gun, even when all the gunfire was blocked!

The sheriff understood that this defensive tactic had its limits. The reason they couldn't kill them was definitely due to insufficient firepower!

The bald man hurriedly pulled out a small, round glass bottle, uncorked it, and poured the bright red liquid inside into his mouth.

Almost instantly, his pale face regained its color, his spiritual energy surged and boiled again, and his aura was even 30% stronger than before!

Carrie, the witch, watched coldly from the woods; she knew this mission would not be easy.

The background of this bald man and the research institute/laboratory he mentioned is quite complicated.

There were officials and military personnel covering it up, and some former members of the Extraordinary Research Group also joined.

According to Carrie's divination, there are other forces behind this bald man.

Especially seeing this behavior of taking medicine now.

For witches and sorceresses, brewing potions and alchemical elixirs is their specialty.

The potion that the bald man drank was definitely not a low-grade product; on the contrary, it was extremely powerful.

The bald man must be backed by a powerful force to be able to provide drugs of this caliber.

Carrie could even smell a faint, sweet, metallic scent in the air. It was the smell of the potion from before.

"Vampire blood?"

One of the main ingredients in that medicine must be vampire blood.

Legitimate potions and elixirs would never use such a thing.

There are many legends about why vampires drink blood, but in any case, they are indeed able to extract everything from their prey's blood, including vitality, memories, and even spirituality!

That's right, the concept of vampires is that a person's spirit resides in their blood.

Whether this view is right or wrong, they believe that if they are right, they can obtain a part of the prey's spirituality from its blood.

Vampire blood naturally contains the vampire's spirituality and psychic powers. If an alchemist or witch were to use vampire blood to create potions, they would be committing a grave taboo.

To taint the soul with the body of a mortal is a transgression.

Of course, that's just the written version. The main problem is that this stuff has extremely strong side effects; you might end up turning into a half-vampire if you drink too much of it.

“So, you’re actually backed by the Church of Original Sin?!” Carrie murmured.

Although the Church of Original Sin is now in decline, it has a very strong foundation. In its hundreds of years of development, in addition to the Path of Original Sin, it has also developed a kind of demonic alchemy.

They believed that humans were flawed and incomplete. Only Adam and Eve, who had just been expelled from Eden, were perfect, even creations.

And they want to make up for humanity's deficiencies!

Therefore, alchemy is indispensable.

They were proficient in many unorthodox alchemical methods, especially in the modification of the human body and themselves.

In fact, Mendel, the father of genetics, and Darwin, the proposer of the theory of evolution, were both suspected of being from the Church of Original Sin, or at least being influenced by them.

Morgan, the famous American biologist from over a hundred years ago who had an inextricable story with fruit flies, was confirmed to have been a member of the Church of Original Sin.

In addition, he had previously attempted to interfere in China and supported the so-called Holy Son Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan.

What exactly they've done over the past few centuries is now impossible for anyone to say.

Evil potions and magical drugs are just the milder, more childish kind of things.

Sure enough, just seconds after drinking the potion, the bald man trembled, his whole body turned red, and his muscles swelled so much that they tore his white coat apart. He was now no less muscular than the strong police chief.

The sheriff, who had been in such danger before with cars flying over his head without flinching, was instantly terrified when he saw the bald man suddenly transform from a weakling into a muscular giant!

I went through so much hardship to become this muscular man, and you think you can achieve that just by taking drugs? You're denying my worth!

Die a thousand times! Rat-a-tat-tat~~~ However, the thicker barrier blocked the machine gun bullets.

The bald man, brimming with power, roared to the sky, "Ahhhhhh!"

At that moment, several mysterious figures suddenly appeared not far away.

“What a wild roar! I love this! It’s perfect prey,” a voice said.

谷把

Another voice rang out, "That's right, they passed."

The surrounding area, spanning several hundred meters, suddenly felt disorienting, as if the entire space itself trembled.

Carrie, the witch, was the most experienced. She immediately realized that they had been tricked and had been teleported!

A spatial vortex appeared, and everyone present was swept into an unfamiliar place. At the same time, a voice rang in their ears: "Welcome to the Moon Society. Have a pleasant hunt!"

……

Zhao Hao and his team had been tracking down Wild Hunt followers, but after Padte was inexplicably wiped out, they had to change their target and start tracking down the Elin tribe, aiming to annihilate them before their numbers increased.

The Moon Society is a loosely organized group of Wild Hunt followers.

Because they were not subordinate to each other, they could not gather together and thus remained unknown to others.

But this wild hunt was a grand affair, and they came together because of their faith to hold a hunting ceremony for their god that would please Him.

Since hunting is necessary, there must be hunters and prey.

But domesticated prey always lacks a bit of wildness and isn't exciting enough.

Therefore, they dispersed to search for prey and hunters, and then took advantage of this grand ceremony to "invite them into the venue" to participate in the event.

The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind; everyone was taken away in a pack.

Meanwhile, Zhao Hao and his team also found a clue while driving. They cornered three superhumans, all followers of the Wild Hunt.

However, during the capture, the two died fighting back, while the last guy, a Black Iron 5-star, laughed.

"My God! Three perfect hunters and prey, truly the best gift from my Lord. You're looking for Elin, aren't you? Then come with me!"

After saying that, he activated the ritual token, and his entire body was sucked into the black vortex.

Watching the shrinking vortex, Zhao Hao and the other two exchanged glances.

Zhao Hao sighed, "Alright, let me go first. My barrier can block sneak attacks."

As he spoke, he first threw in a few paper figures. He felt that the paper figures were not destroyed, so it was at least not a trap.

The black hole was shrinking smaller and smaller; they definitely couldn't delay any longer. Zhao Hao stepped inside, with Bresta and the fat man following closely behind.

……

Even though I knew I was no longer in the same place, nothing seemed to have changed here. Time, temperature, psionic levels, or anything else remained the same. Vast stretches of jungle and clearings, bathed in the bright moonlight.

When they were caught up in the hunting ritual, everyone was scattered.

William the Sandman naturally cared for his daughter first, so he wrapped her in yellow sand, and the two were not separated.

Meanwhile, Carrie, the witch, was left unattended. She did indeed use magic to protect her mission target, Judy, immediately, and the two landed together.

The bald man was nowhere to be seen, and the burly police chief's sunglasses were gone. He was now squinting and scanning his surroundings, his expression as stiff as ever.

He dropped the heavy machine gun, which was running low on ammunition, drew the shotgun from his back, and cautiously surveyed his surroundings...

Large swarms of rats gathered around Carrie and Judy.

Seeing the countless mice that had propped themselves up and were staring at her with their small eyes, Judy was so frightened that she hid behind Carrie.

“Don’t worry, they listen to us now. Here you go…” She placed the bone whistle in Judy’s hand.

"This is a rat whistle made from the Rat King's hand bone. Blowing it will summon and control the rats. The stories of the Pied Piper told by Muggles in the past originated from it. Now it's for you; you will control these rats."

Judy has an instinctive affinity for Carrie, the witch, which stems from the attraction between kindred spirits.

But now that she suddenly had to control hundreds of rats, she was still a little bewildered.

What exactly should I do?

The thought that she held a piece of rat bone with words carved on it sent chills down her spine.

But at this moment, Carrie was already kneeling on the ground, arranging the crystal ball, and sprinkling crystal powder around it to form a standard circle, with several symbols drawn around it as well.

Judy had never seen that symbol before, but she felt a sense of familiarity with it.

Carrie took out a magic candle, a small incense burner, a bottle of purified moon water, and some herbs from a small bag.

I lit some sage and placed it in the small incense burner. The scent of incense began to waft through the air. As moonlight water was poured onto the crystal ball, psionic energy began to surge...

"Grant me your divine light."

Let us be enveloped in warmth

Take the message to afar

......"

As Carrie chanted incantations, the crystal ball in the simple magic circle began to emit a faint light, as if some scene flashed by.

"What did you see?" Carrie suddenly asked.

Judy said cautiously, "It looks like a woman."

Carrie smiled and nodded. "That's right, you really are exceptionally talented."

Ordinary people wouldn't see anything unusual. Even ordinary superhumans would only see light. Only the most gifted witches can see a clear image.

Judy is so important to the witches' gathering because of her talent; she is prophesied to be a candidate for the Supreme Witch.

Judy's ability is actually simulation, which is why it manifests in so many different ways, as if she has a bit of everything.

This ability has great potential.

Even in this unknown place, Carrie had already sent a message to the witches' council for help; the support group would know where they were.

……

At this moment, the bald man who had just risked drinking the vampire potion was also preparing.

This place is far from safe, so he needs to make some preparations.

He was lucky; when he got involved, he was accompanied by four security guards who had miraculously survived the fight.

"Since you're so lucky, then please perform your final duties!"
