"Boss, are you really going to sacrifice them to... the Witch of Death?"
The atmosphere solidified as the words fell.
The hundred death row inmates present were stunned, feeling... bewildered by Jed's words, before they finally grasped the situation a moment later.
"Wait, what does it mean to sacrifice us to the Witch of Death!" a burly man with spells written all over his face cried out in horror.
Weren't they supposed to be executed?
Why now speak of sacrificing them to the Witch of Death, which was clearly not what they had in mind.
"Sacrificing to the witch is taboo!" a delicate noblewoman screamed, "This is the act of Cultists!"
Although she had committed a capital crime, being sacrificed to the Witch of Death was far too terrifying.
Xi Mu acted as if he hadn't heard this. This group of NPCs only showed fear when they heard about witches and demons, with basically no other reactions.
