Chapter 530: Various Possibilities

Chapter 530: Various Possibilities

This report from Oro was extremely important. It even made the man feel that Oro had not come here specifically to determine the purpose of the Cursed Witch. He had come specifically for this matter. Some things were simple to say. He just had to submit this report.

But what happened afterward? Oro was definitely going to die… For no other reason than the weight of the report and the fact that the Undying Witch incident involved Dan Marina, the Fate Witch. If Oro reported this, and it was confirmed, wouldn’t that woman Dan Marina know about it?

As written in the report, Zheng Yichen played an extremely important role in dealing with the Undying Witch. Even the Undying Witch’s remnants held an extra obsession with him. As for the reason, Oro could not guess. But since Zheng Yichen had such a position, it meant his situation was not as simple as The Church had previously estimated. He definitely had something unique that made the Witches take notice.

If this report was not written, then forget it. Once written, it became a death warrant!

“You really shouldn’t have written this.”

“From the perspective of cherishing life, indeed, I shouldn’t have. But I am also a member of The Church… It’s only fitting to drag someone else down with me.”

“…I think killing you would be more appropriate!” The man rubbed his temples. His head was pounding. Really, he didn’t know what he was curious about earlier. Seeing Oro staring at that report in a daze for half the day, he thought he had fallen asleep and came over to check. As soon as he came over, things went wrong.

“Hahaha~ To be honest, I feel very uneasy right now. Perhaps there are several Witches waiting outside, ready to kill us at any moment.” Oro laughed twice and shook his head slightly. “Let’s just pretend this never existed.”

The man shook his head. “I can’t do that.”

“For now, pretending it doesn’t exist is best. Even if that Dragon played a significant role in the Fate Witch’s plan to deal with the Undying Witch, we cannot guarantee this isn’t part of the Fate Witch’s scheme. Think about her superb Prophecy Art. Perhaps our current actions are within her predictions.”

“I think you’re just bored and have too much time on your hands. If you’ve thought this much, why did you go through the trouble of writing this and making me uncomfortable?”

“Because, this way, it’s safer. If it truly matches the analysis in the report, and my contact with Connor has already been discovered by the Fate Witch, then what is a secret to many is just business as usual to the Fate Witch. So, there needs to be someone with tenacious enough survival skills who knows about this.”

Oro shrugged. “So you, who can crawl out of the Abyss alive, are the most suitable.”

“Flattery.” The man wrote expressionlessly.

“So, are you planning to report this to The Church, or temporarily pretend you didn’t see it?”

“I want to know the consequences of both. I need a more suitable reason.”

“Temporarily pretend you didn’t see it, and then it’s as if nothing happened. If The Church finds out, there are two possibilities. First, he is just a pawn of the Fate Witch, specifically meant to attract our attention, wanting us to directly conflict with the Cursed Witch to achieve some goal. Perhaps to retaliate against The Church’s long-term control over her, or perhaps for other purposes.”

“Just considering that such actions can easily backfire, the Fate Witch’s level of shrewdness wouldn’t leave such an obvious flaw… Unless she has a greater purpose, which I don’t even want to think about. Even the flaw could be a misdirection…”

“And the second is that the Fate Witch is confident that those who can learn about this matter won’t take any extra actions. After all, the only ones who can think of this are us.” Oro wrote. If they hadn’t encountered Zheng Yichen in this situation, they wouldn’t have realized this issue at all. After all, Dan Marina had successfully introduced a new decoy earlier, attracting enough attention.

“So, those who know about this are destined to be few. Those who know are definitely smart people. They won’t act foolishly in such a major matter, nor will they overlook any details…”

The man interrupted Oro’s writing. “Hey, hey, hey! Get to the point. Be serious. I want to hear the consequences, not you boasting about yourself!”

“What nonsense. Is anything I said wrong? I’ve explained all the possible analyses to you. How is that boasting? Let’s continue… Hmm, in any case, let’s look at it from another angle. If the second possibility is more likely, then things can still involve the Undying Witch. Since the Fate Witch set up such a grand scheme, she definitely wouldn’t end it carelessly. Do you think the Undying Witch is really dead?”

“She has died many times, but never stayed dead.”

“Perhaps this time is no exception. It’s just that the Undying Witch was plotted against too severely by the Fate Witch. Although she isn’t dead, she can’t truly ‘live’ either.” Oro wrote. Previously, when the Undying Witch ‘died’, her preparations had never gone out of control. What was happening now was a first.

“…You mean, if a certain problem arises, or if we do something foolish, then the Undying Witch wouldn’t be truly ‘dead’?”

“Not only that. I’m thinking, for the Fate Witch to eliminate the Undying Witch flawlessly, given the troublesome nature of the Undying Witch, besides scheming, she must also possess overwhelming power at a crucial moment. Hmm… Situations like a lucky Adventurer succeeding in a backstab, don’t take them too seriously. No matter how weak a Witch is, such ordinary attacks wouldn’t pose much harm. So, what do you think it is?”

“…Other Witches!”

“Exactly~ Since the Fate Witch could reach this point, this matter might now become a trigger for new joint actions among the Witches. Since it’s the Fate Witch, ordinary speculation doesn’t suit her well. So I can only guess at various possibilities. Some guesses might be right, some might all be wrong…”

“Alright, that’s a good reason. What next? Do you plan to keep observing?”

“Observe!? Σ(⊙▽⊙”a” Oro directly drew a vivid text emoticon on the paper. “Having thought this far, I don’t dare to think further. Later, I need to clear my mind. Don’t even think about me continuing to ponder over observing or anything.”

“Tsk tsk, I really thought you feared nothing.” Seeing Oro like this, the man couldn’t help but click his tongue twice. Oro shrugged.

“There’s nothing wrong with following your heart. Alright, I’m going to sleep.” After igniting the paper into ashes, Oro put away the pen, yawned, and went alone to his bed, leaving the man sitting there in thought.

In the end, he sighed softly. This trust was truly heavy… Just do nothing? Oro could be so carefree, but he couldn’t. He would have a proper talk with Oro tomorrow.
