The Witch's Taste

Chapter 143 The First Step into the Mysterious Xia Zili

After listening to Chen Ziang's general narration, Xia Zili woke up like a dream.

It seemed that a mysterious and magnificent world was slowly unfolding before her eyes.

"So." She seemed to realize something, and said in a trance, "My mother is not dead? Her spirituality has returned from the abyss, guiding me to become a hero?"

"Uh..." Chen Ziang didn't know the origin of this mother phantom, let alone why Xia Zili came to such a conclusion, but he still patiently comforted her, "Maybe, maybe not."

"But what matters is what your heart is and who you want to be."

Xia Zili pondered.

What is your own heart?

I chose to embark on the road of creating music, just to respond to my sister's expectations, to make my sister recognize me more... that is not my heart.

If you have to rule out all external factors, then I...

I want to help more people, I want to protect them, I want to be everyone's hero.

Even if I accidentally kill someone, the premise is to save others.I did not violate my heart, so I have no regrets.

"I understand." Xia Zili showed a relieved smile, "Thank you, Chen Ziang, I can sleep well tonight."

"Go to sleep." Chen Ziang said softly.

Watching Xia Zili go up to the second floor and back to the guest room, Chen Ziang also heaved a sigh of relief.

In any case, as long as she figured it out.

However, another thought soon popped up in my mind:

Has she really figured it out?
--------

The next morning.

After Chen Ziang finished washing, he left the bedroom and took care of his younger sister to get up again.

Then he came to the door of the guest room, but found that the door was open, and he could see Xia Zili who was sleeping soundly inside, with his characteristic blond hair spread out on the pillow.

With a slight thought, Chen Ziang decided not to disturb her, but went back to the kitchen to make breakfast, fed it to his sister, and left a portion for Xia Zili by the way.

Write her a note and ask her to find her agent after breakfast and ask her to send a car to pick her up.

Arriving at work by the light rail, Chen Ziang came to the office and found that neither Yuegong Suzuna nor Xia Qingyu came to work.

The offices to the left and right were empty.

After working in front of the computer for a while, there was a knock on the door outside.

It's Rio Hokaze, head of the Information Section.

"The four punks from yesterday have all been memory cleaned." She walked into the office and put the report on the table.

"Thank you, Lixu." Chen Ziang nodded.

"We got some very interesting information." Rio Hokaze continued, "First of all, these five people took advantage of last night's commotion and wanted to go to a nearby shopping street to make a fortune. It’s time to change my mind... They are all narrow-minded nationalists, and they have listened to the underground radio station of the Democratic First Party for a long time, so they have a certain hatred towards the Lu ethnic group.”

"I see." Chen Ziang nodded and said, "It's just a coincidence."

"It's not entirely a coincidence." Hoikaze said with a smile, "I suggest you remove the door plate on the gate of your courtyard wall. 'Chen House', just by looking at the surname, you can tell that it is from the Lu family. And Even for the island people, only the elderly will use the house number, so many criminals who commit telecom fraud can easily grasp your relevant information, which is very unsafe."

"That was left by my dad." Chen Ziang said with a sigh, "I will take it away, what else?"

"And there's that weirdness." Rio Hoikaze asked with great interest, "Chen Ziang, why didn't I know that you have such a powerful friend? Summoning a weirdness that can kill people easily is not something that ordinary mystics can do." did it."

"Her situation is quite special, and she didn't know the existence of the mysterious side before." Chen Ziang said in a low voice, "I can't disclose her identity information, but there are indeed some things worthy of attention about her, maybe you can explain it for me . . . you're not going to tell the story, are you?"

"Of course." Rio Hokaze became interested, "Tell me?"

"She can see the vision of her dead mother." Chen Ziang said in a deep voice, "and the vision will guide her to do some things, such as saving people, and the summoning power is also given to her by the vision."

"Hmm." Rio Hokaze pondered and said, "First of all, we have to rule out the possibility that 'this illusion is a weirdness', didn't you notice something wrong with your inspiration?"

"There is nothing unusual." Chen Ziang said affirmatively.

"Interesting." Rio Hokaze said, "If it's not weird, and it's not hallucinations caused by mental pollution and sanity collapse, then it must be some kind of separated spirituality."

"The spirituality of separation?" Chen Ziang asked puzzled.

"You know about split personality, right?" Hogaze Rio said, "It can be understood as a split personality. Of course, the actual situation is far more complicated. But you mentioned the most important point, which is that this illusion gave her power, The answer is actually quite obvious."

Chen Ziang stared at her nervously.

"What don't you understand?" Rio Hokaze asked with a frown.

"What's the obvious answer you mentioned?" Chen Ziang also asked with a frown.

"What kind of existence can bestow human power?" Rio Hokaze said hehe, "God, isn't it?"

"Two possibilities: First, the existence of a certain god or god-like existence, such as witches, demon priests, etc., must of course be a powerful existence with very high spiritual vision, who has sunk into the abyss enough to be completely out of touch with the present world. A separate spirit attached to her spirit, and purposely disguised itself as a phantasm of her mother, granting her this power."

"Second, this power is not given, but comes from digging herself - she has mastered these powers, but for some reason forgot them. The mother's illusion is the disguise of her own separate spirituality, leading her to gradually seek Get back what’s rightfully yours.”

Chen Ziang was silent for a long time, and said:

"These two possibilities ... either way, sound scary."

"There is nothing related to mystery that is not scary." Rio Hokaze said, "Looking forward, at least 'her mother' just gave her powers instead of turning her into a monster or rotten meat, Isn't it?"

After Suifeng Lixu left, Chen Ziang continued to meditate.

So, Xia Zili was being targeted by some mysterious existence?Or is she herself some kind of mysterious existence?

He got up to fetch water from the water dispenser outside, just in time to see Xia Qingyu and Yuegong Suzuna coming back together from outside.

The former was still expressionless, while the latter had a brilliant smirk on his face. When Xia Qingyu returned to the office, Yuegong Suzuna immediately rolled his eyes, showing an extremely speechless expression.

"What's wrong?" Chen Ziang asked in confusion.

"All night!" Yue Gong Suzuna gritted her teeth, "My dad asked me to cooperate with her to work all night!"

"What work?" Chen Ziang became more and more puzzled.

"Read information, collect information, judge intentions, and write reports." Suzuna Tsukimiya said hehe, "To sum it up: waste of time."

"Okay, I won't ask any more." Chen Ziang waved his hand and said, "Actually, I have something more troublesome, but considering you are already so tired..."

"I'm not tired!" Yue Gong Suzuna immediately changed her words, and said with a smile, "If you have any headaches, senior, let Miss Suzuna share it for you?"

"The last time Xia Qingyu asked me to negotiate with Takano Seiko." Chen Ziang said with a sigh, "Didn't we promise her? We will try our best to work on the bill so that she will not continue to act, so as not to affect the mid-term elections." .”

"Oh." Suzuna Yuegong also remembered this, and said indifferently, "Then senior can tell her to let her continue to do what she wants... She can search, interrogate, murder whatever she wants, anyway, now No one cares anymore."

"Is the situation very bad?" Chen Ziang asked worriedly.

"There were more than 20 people last night." Suzuna Tsukimiya said with a sigh, "It feels like the British Party's ticket warehouse is going to blow up this time, no wonder Aokawa Iwata dared to light the fire at the risk of the world."

"If I knew this earlier, it would be better to let Seiko Takano take all these people..."

"Stop!" Chen Ziang yelled to stop.
