The Witch's Taste

Chapter 134 The Black Hand Behind the Scenes

What is the justice that Chen Ziang has been upholding?

When studying in colleges and universities, the justice in everyone's heart is simple and pure, which is to defend the rule of law and protect the people.

However, after stepping into the society, the young operators realize how complicated the world is.

In many cases, if you choose to defend the rule of law, you cannot protect the people; if you want to protect the people, you cannot protect yourself.

Most of the students chose to go with the crowd, not seeking merit but seeking no faults, but because he embarked on a more dangerous path, he had no chance to re-examine his own values.

But in this dilemma right now... Xia Qingyu, you are such a devil!

If he wanted to fight danger head-on, Chen Ziang would not hesitate, but now he has to choose between procedural justice and substantive justice.

If you choose the former, these two guys who can be evaluated as bad guys in all aspects, as Xia Qingyu said, can continue to do evil and harm others by taking advantage of the loopholes in the law;
But if he chooses the latter, then his persistence and belief all the time...

………………

Then, he thought of his sister.

It is not so easy to change the professional habits, thinking patterns and values ​​of two generations of people, even if you are no longer a security officer.

But just as Xia Qingyu hinted: now it is only a choice between procedural justice and substantive justice, and I will encounter more difficult choices in the future. How to stick to my heart is the most important thing.

What is your own heart?

It is to maintain the order of a civilized society, it is to protect more innocent people, it is to save one's sister... But they also have a priority, and the latter is more important than the former.

If you can't have both, what should you do?
What can I do myself?
"Have you figured it out?" Xia Qingyu asked lightly.

Chen Ziang was silent for a moment, then sighed and said:

"I'm not saying that I want to give up the justice or conscience that I have always upheld, but I think... I should be able to let go of the rules and regulations that I have been used to in the past when necessary."

"Very good." Xia Qingyu turned her gaze back to the opposite side, "I'm glad to see that you are still alive, and it saves me from having to arrange for a kindergarten that is willing to take you in after you leave."

"When did you realize that I... was trapped in the shackles of this old thinking?" Chen Ziang asked tentatively.

"I don't know." Xia Qingyu said coldly, "I'm not a kindergarten teacher."

"Can we stop playing with this preschool teacher?" Chen Ziang said helplessly, "Also, thank you very much."

Xia Qingyu didn't answer, but Chen Ziang wasn't sure if she hummed.

Because through the silver portal screen, you can see a lot of water stains suddenly seeping from the opposite room.

The water stains first appeared around the door, and then quickly spread along the wall, quickly soaking large areas of wallpaper.

"You turned on the humidifier?" Watanabe Maho said suddenly.

"No." Tsurumi Kumiko just wanted to check the air conditioner, but suddenly fell into the water.

That was a weird thing disguised as a water polo!

The "water" in the weird body is almost completely transparent, and the refractive index is also close to 0, so it is completely impossible to distinguish with the naked eye when it is still.

But as Tsurumi Kumiko stepped into it, the water began to be stirred up, and the weirdness quickly emerged—it was a strange mushroom-like water shape, the lower body was slightly slender, while the upper body was bloated And swollen, like some terrible swamp monster with its huge mouth open because of gluttony.

Tsurumi Kumiko, who fell into it, immediately fell into the suffocation of drowning.

She waved her limbs in panic, trying to pull herself out of the weird body, but the water entangled her tightly like a gel, until her chest was filled with sewage, her eyes were white and protruding, and her body was bulging It was swollen, drowned alive in the strange body, and did not make a sound.

Watanabe Maho jumped up from the bed in fright as early as the first time the weirdness appeared, and then forced himself to hide the fear in his heart, trying to bypass the weirdness and rush to the door.

When the weirdness digested Tsurumi Kumiko on the spot, she had already rushed to the door of the room, twisted the handle hard and opened the door, she was about to escape, and hoped to be completely blocked in the next second.

Two drowned walked in through the door.They have the appearance of humans, but their whole bodies seem to have been soaked in water for a long time. They have large areas of festered skin, and their bodies are full of swollen and deformed flesh. They hold Watanabe Maho's arms from left to right and quickly Press her against the wet wallpaper.

"Stop!" Maho Watanabe yelled in horror, "I'm a federal citizen, you can't kill me!"

"Is she from the Federation?" Chen Zi'ang asked in a low voice in the next room.

"So what." Xia Qingyu said with a sneer, "It's just a pawn for exploring the way."

"If she is killed by Seiko Takano, will it cause diplomatic damage?" Chen Ziang asked with a frown.

"Is this something you should consider?" Xia Qingyu asked coldly, "Do you want to transfer to the foreign affairs department?"

"It's not impossible." Chen Ziang started talking nonsense, "You know, Ling Nai's father is the Minister of Foreign Affairs..."

Then, Xia Qingyu's eyes almost showed a murderous light.

Chen Ziang was relieved to be stared at by his boss with such a vicious gaze.

Sure enough, this was the way to deal with a poisonous tongue—to confront her, at the cost of angering the leader.

Although Chen Ziang wasn't the kind of character who would intentionally tease his boss, but if he was ridiculed next time, at least he wouldn't have to be scolded and unable to retaliate.

Looking at the opposite side, the two living dead had subdued Watanabe Maho.The strength of their arms was so great that Watanabe Maho didn't even have the thought of struggling, but just looked in the direction of the door in fear.

Seiko Takano came in from the outside.

The first time Chen Ziang saw her, a certain unbelievable feeling filled his brain - because Ms. Gao Ye is really too thin now, her cheeks are deeply sunken, the stork bones are more prominent, and there are many hairs in her hair. There are many silver threads, and the wrinkles are deeply piled up. It is no exaggeration to describe her haggard appearance at this time as "shattered and bony".

But there seemed to be light shining in her eyes, and the condensed will was like coke still burning in a charcoal kiln. Although it didn't look like much flame at first glance, no one would doubt the astonishing heat contained in it.

Chen Ziang wasn't sure how long she hadn't rested, but she was obviously using her willpower and her last breath to support this physical body to live with difficulty.

"Human rights observer?" Seiko Takano spoke slowly, his voice sounded like a magnet rubbing against it, and it sounded like a dry and rusty door hinge was turning. It sounded a little overwhelmed.

Watanabe Maho suddenly calmed down, hearing her organization name gave her the illusion that "the other party is afraid", so she sneered arrogantly and said:
"Yes, I am a special correspondent of Human Rights Watch and a federal citizen."

"If something happens to me, the federal ambassador will definitely hold your government accountable, so let me go now!"

"...So." Takano Seiko's tone became more and more weird, it seemed that because the volume was lowered, it seemed a little gloomy.

"Is it those elves, playing tricks behind?"
