Chapter 120: Fireworks

Young people had open minds. When participating in the Witch Hunt, some of them did not completely believe the Sanctuary Church’s claim that Witches were a key to destruction. After all, some things were talked about too much without any actual proof. They had never even seen a Witch. So, even if they were concerned, it was still difficult to believe without any doubt.

But now they had no doubts left!

Even a Ranked Practitioner could easily lose their life after seeing the Black Moon. If the Black Moon became clear enough for ordinary people to see, then… how many people in this world would remain?

“The worse something is, the worse it gets,” Zheng Yichen muttered to himself as he stood on the ground, observing the angle of a firework. After confirming it was fine, he continued.

Fireworks, of course, couldn’t be placed in just one spot to achieve the best effect. He had to set one off in every location. There was a lot of detouring involved. While taking these detours, he had nothing better to do than think about other matters. The appearance of the Black Moon… he was afraid it had something to do with Loris losing control of her power.

Thinking back to the information he had looked up about the Black Moon, in the end, the blame for the harm caused by the Black Moon would fall on the Witches. Of course, Zheng Yichen also felt that the Sanctuary Church’s publicity about the dangers of Witches wasn’t entirely baseless.

But relying on the method of exterminating all Witches… to solve this kind of harm, Zheng Yichen thought, he thought… He scratched his head in slight irritation. From his own standpoint, he felt this approach was unfair to Loris!

But from the standpoint of all Humanity in this world, what the Sanctuary Church did was right. Without Witches, the Black Moon would always be covered by the light of the White Moon, never appearing, and thus causing no harm. Of course, Zheng Yichen thought if his own power were strong enough to crush the Sanctuary Church,

perhaps there could be other compromise solutions. For example, exploring the Black Moon to solve the problem at its root. Yes, Zheng Yichen never believed that eradicating Witches was just treating the symptoms. If the Black Moon was connected to Witches, then the Black Moon should be the biggest problem!

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be talk of Newborn Witches. He could also find some related information in the Underground Library. Regarding Newborn Witches, there was no special explanation. Even a girl from an ordinary family could one day “Awaken” and become a Witch.

Well, that was just something to think about. He knew his own limits, didn’t he? Let alone crushing the Sanctuary Church, if a Bishop or Archbishop came out from inside, they could probably make him question his life.

After setting up the fireworks, Zheng Yichen scratched his head with some hesitation. “Really, have I also become heartless?”

Lighting the fireworks would definitely trap and kill a group of people afterward. These people might not die directly by his hand, but it would be indirect. However, after confirming that the person in the Witch Restricted Zone was Loris, Zheng Yichen had already made his stance clear. There was no comparison!

If he hadn’t met Loris back then, Zheng Yichen didn’t know where he would be locked up now, being raised like livestock, facing daily bloodletting, Scale removal, nail pulling, or something even more direct like being killed outright. His current life situation was entirely due to Loris saving him back then.

But regardless, even if it was to repay the favor, it… was enough for him to do this now!

As for sacrificing oneself for the greater good? What Zheng Yichen wanted to say was, this damn place wasn’t Earth, and he didn’t feel much belonging to this world!!

After all, some things and experiences after crossing over, even though a long time had passed, still made Zheng Yichen feel somewhat irritable when he thought about them.

He snapped his fingers. The fireworks he had distributed to various locations were activated in sequence. The blood-red night sky was instantly covered by dazzling, brilliant lights and explosion sounds. The Campsite, which had been quiet in the night, immediately erupted into chaos.

The explosions were so intense that many people thought an attack had come. But when they rushed out of their tents, they found the sky filled with many gorgeous “scenes.” The dazzling lights made the sky seem as bright as daytime. The exploding fireworks displayed various rich patterns to them.

Some were cute and adorable, some had strong characteristics, and some were bewitching! The fireworks contained Illusion Magic, activated within the fitting background. These bewitching Illusions immediately attracted the attention of many people. In the center of the Black Mist in the Witch Restricted Zone, a pair of eyes glowing with an unusual blood-red light through the Black Mist clearly saw the patterns of the fireworks and the Illusions mixed within when the fireworks appeared.

The style of the Illusions wasn’t something found in this world. She had only seen it from one person…

The Black Moon wasn’t obscured by the Illusions. Even while staring at the Illusions, one could still be considered as looking directly at the Black Moon, since these Illusions were semi-transparent.

So, a large wave of people fell victim again. This time, it was worse than the situation when night fell. If the Sanctuary Church hadn’t taken action, releasing a layer of light film that Purified the near-blood-red light emitted by the White Moon back into White Moonlight, the trouble would have been even greater!

“Who did this! Search for them!! I’ll tear them apart alive!!!” After the fireworks disappeared, the entire Campsite completely erupted into chaos. Those who were almost trapped and killed were naturally furious to the extreme. This was definitely a scheme by someone with ill intentions. Damn it, before the Witch Hunt had even truly begun, someone couldn’t resist taking action first!

And they intended to wipe out a large wave of people. Not only were the participants furious, but the people from the Sanctuary Church were also unhappy. They knew about the infighting among these people. As long as it wasn’t too excessive, they turned a blind eye. They just needed them to contribute when the battle started.

After all, by then, if they didn’t contribute, the outcome would basically be death… Wealth can move people’s hearts. Those who came here had to take responsibility for their actions. To gain high rewards, one had to bear high risks. Besides consuming the Witch’s active fighting strength, there was another reason for the participants.

To make them truly recognize the danger of Witches. As long as someone survived after the Witch Hunt ended, they would be the best and most effective promoters.

“Huh? That worked?” Zheng Yichen looked somewhat surprised at the light film that was fading away. The blood-red radiance emitted by the White Moon could actually be restored to the original White Moonlight. This made Zheng Yichen couldn’t help but look toward the Witch Restricted Zone.

What would happen if the light film were expanded to cover the Witch Restricted Zone? It definitely wouldn’t be good… For Loris, absolutely not. Vaguely, Zheng Yichen also began to see the Sanctuary Church’s method of dealing with Loris.

They didn’t have enough preventive measures. With Loris’s ability, these people couldn’t even get near the edge of the Witch Restricted Zone, let alone face Loris directly. How about… he thought of a way to block the White Moon’s radiance?
