Chapter 1 You! Still! Know! To! Find! Me!

Intense emotions of rage nearly burst forth from the friend communication window.

The witch subconsciously leaned back, sitting on the ground, glancing left and right, a subtle look of guilt on her face.

Miao Miao Tou: [Do you know how I've been doing alone in Southeast Asia? I have to manage everything in the Odd Job Shop, sweeping and mopping, stocking and selling, negotiating business, beating up customers, and you haven't helped even once! Argh, I'm so angry, I'm being harassed by mosquitoes here, while you're enjoying the good life in Great Britain...]

Her partner's complaints poured out like a continuous river. The witch guiltily plugged her ears with her index fingers and typed: [Hey, I've been busy too, you know witches need a quiet environment without disturbances. I've been working hard to brew potions, experiment, and make props, all for our own good.]

The witch's partner is named Miao Miao Tou. Like her, she is a disciple of the "Professor."

The difference is that Miao Miao Tou was originally a stray gray and white kitten.

When the Professor found her, Miao Miao Tou was fighting desperately with several stray dogs to defend her dinner scavenged from the trash can.

Although she successfully repelled the invaders and awakened her player qualification, she was also seriously injured and nearing death.

The Professor brought Miao Miao Tou back to the Syndicate, took care of her meticulously, and assigned the chief disciple to teach her everything about humans.

As a feline, Miao Miao Tou's mission type is completely different from that of human players.

With her lithe skills and quick wit, she advanced to Lv10. After drinking a potion, she transformed into a bipedal, half-human, cat-like figure and was assigned to team up with the witch, forming a partnership.

If the witch is a seemingly elegant and haughty, but actually greedy and stingy, poor noble young lady,

Then Miao Miao Tou is a seemingly cold and gloomy, but actually shy, with a strong sense of self-esteem, and likes to use sharp words to keep people at a distance, girl next door.

Of course, the girl part is questionable.

Since the Professor never said whether Miao Miao Tou was male or female when she was picked up, and the latter always wears a Gothic black robe with a cold and neutral voice,

The witch still doesn't know her partner's specific gender - they're both tsundere, and neither is willing to ask.

Well... anyway, Miao Miao Tou's gender is Miao Miao Tou.

[Bah!]

Miao Miao Tou said coldly: [Hurry up, say what you need to say, I have to go groom my fur later, my tail is getting matted again.]

Knowing she was in the wrong, the witch smiled sheepishly and typed out the information she saw in the Mule's mission and sent it over.

Miao Miao Tou is also a half-baked information broker, and her ability to gather information is not much worse than the Mule's.

[The monarch Moloch of the Land of Tears, art sculptures, a pizza club, a missing persons case...]

Far away in the Southeast Asian Odd Job Shop, Miao Miao Tou frowned, extended her furry finger, and pushed up the glasses on her pink nose. [I seem to remember this case...]

[Oh, oh!]

The witch's eyes lit up. [Tell me about it.]

[Wait a minute.]

Miao Miao Tou snapped her fingers casually. The wooden door of the Odd Job Shop instantly closed, and several steel plates descended from the ceiling, completely sealing off the narrow shop full of small commodities, isolating the bustling sounds of the street outside.

Miao Miao Tou: [You should know about the child disappearance case in Great Britain fourteen years ago, right?]

The witch paused for a moment and slowly typed: [Are you talking about the case that happened in Sardinia? I know.]

Fourteen years ago, a middle-class British couple took their three children, along with some relatives and friends who also had children, to Sardinia, Italy, for a vacation.

One night, the couple left their sleeping children in the hotel room while they chatted and drank with friends by the pool downstairs. On the way, the wife worried about the children and returned to check on them, only to find that the hotel room window had been broken, and their eldest three-year-old daughter had mysteriously disappeared from the room.

At that time, all sectors of British society attached great importance to the case, almost a nationwide concern. Great Britain and Italy sent a large number of people to search and investigate, but all the clues found were cut off.

The case itself was full of controversy. Some people said it was a premeditated kidnapping case, while others said it was a drama directed and acted by the couple, and their daughter had died long ago.

The couple resolutely denied this accusation, made all the donations from all walks of life public, and actively searched for their daughter for more than ten years.

Some inside information claimed that a highly respected private detective with extremely high professional ethics died mysteriously during the investigation. Scotland Yard's statement about the detective was "the cause of death of the deceased is inexplicable."

Due to the sensational nature of the case, the heat has never subsided, and the witch has heard a lot of news.

[The anonymous discussion website 4chan previously dug up this case. 4chan netizens linked this case to an American performance artist.]

Miao Miao Tou typed: [That performance artist is very famous in New York, Washington, D.C., and other places. He often holds some performance art shows and owns a pizza club in Washington, D.C., which is filled with strange and bizarre works of art. The walls are covered with oil paintings related to Moloch. According to netizens' digging, this club has received many members of American high society.]

After saying that, Miao Miao Tou sent a few pictures. The pictures showed an artist lying in a bathtub covered in sauce, some strangely shaped, twisted female sculptures, a male sculpture with deer antlers and horse hooves, a goat head ornament, and a rhino horn hat.

As a member of a long-standing magical family, the witch's occult knowledge definitely exceeds that of most players.

She recognized the things in the picture at a glance: [Druids, the Earth Mother, and horned gods?]

[That's right.]

Miao Miao Tou nodded. [This performance artist lies in a bathtub, covered in sauce, and lets American social elites dip fries in the sauce on his body to eat. This is seemingly rebellious performance art, but it is actually an ancient British Druid practice.]

Unlike the Druid image reshaped by modern video game culture, traditional British Druids are barbaric and savage wizards.

In "Commentarii de Bello Gallico," written by the ancient Roman conqueror Gaius Julius Caesar from 58 BC to 52 BC, the actions of the British Druids at that time were recorded in detail.

They worshiped world giants, killed livestock or enemies with daggers, and used the shape of their internal organs to perform divination. After divination, they would also divide and eat the leftovers. Their remains are called "Lindow Man."

Like the Druids, a large number of ancient Europeans worshiped the Earth Mother and horned gods. The image of the Earth Mother has been changed many times, with different versions in different regions.

Over time, the main characteristics of her followers were wearing pointed hats and masks - the witches' pointed hats also originated from the worship of the Earth Mother.

The horned god (whose image is a man with deer antlers and a horse-hoof-shaped ring in his hand) is an important deity in the Celtic pantheon, with a slightly lower status than the Earth Mother. His divine duties are nature and agriculture.

Although the horned god's status is not as high as that of the Earth Mother, he has many followers because of his wide range of divine duties. His followers are united under the horned god, the Earth Mother, and the Moon Goddess, fighting against the invading Semitic culture.

Unsurprisingly, they failed.

The Earth Mother, the horned god, and the Moon Goddess were all considered evil incarnations.

Deer antlers, pointed hats, crows, black robes, goats, and snakes are also considered evil symbols by Semitic culture.

As the heir to a magical family, the witch is very clear that

Traditional Earth Mother and horned god worship were not good birds in the first place, and after being stigmatized, they became even more depraved and evil.

The actions of the American performance artist in the picture are more like a subtle display of the ancient and evil Lindow Man culture than performance art.

Considering that the pizza club under the performance artist is full of symbolic objects such as goat head ornaments and rhino horn hats, it is not difficult to see the specific components of this person.
