The Witch's Taste

Chapter 167 Dilemma
The dream world, the ancient city of Enrank.

"Mr. Asker." Nightmare Priest Nicole said in an ethereal voice, "I heard that you visited Zubasa recently?"

Chen Ziang fell silent, thinking that I haven't spoken yet, where did you hear about it?

"The ghouls have always been cunning, since they can't defeat the god-favored of the Lord of the Deep Sea, they must try to make friends with you." Nicole didn't seem to blame her, but said lightly, "I guess the person who received you It's Sarah Huck."

"Yes." Chen Ziang said helplessly.

"Ah, Sarah Hek." Nicole sighed, "Poor and ignorant traitor, if you see him next time in Zubasa, please tell him something for me."

"The old agreement still counts, but in the future, please ask him to do it for himself."

"Yes." Chen Ziang didn't know what it meant, so he agreed silently.

After Nicole finished speaking, he had a chance to ask his own question:

"Nicole, if there is a woman who is a witch... To be precise, she has already started to transform into a witch, then is there any way to stop her?"

"The transformation of a witch cannot be stopped." Nicole replied, "In fact, there is no such thing as transformation. She is either a witch or she is not. There is no middle state."

"But I guess what Mr. Asker means is to prevent this witch... from having the urge and desire to destroy?"

"That's right, that's what I meant." Chen Ziang said with a sigh.

"The reason why witches have extreme and distorted personalities is because they often suffer tremendous pain and are tied to the anchor to continue to suffer in this world." Nicole explained in detail, "Life is worse than death, and there is no way out of it." , of course the character will be distorted."

"If you want to control a witch, you must master the anchor that fixes her, that is, the obsession she relies on to live."

"Then." Chen Ziang pondered, "If a certain witch's obsession is that she deeply loves a certain man, how can she master this obsession?"

"It's very simple." Nicole said, "to control the man she loves so much."

"For example, if the witch's personality starts to become radicalized, then as long as the man she loves speaks, she will probably become docile again... You can even use this man to indirectly control the witch, turning her into any The way you wish."

"What if this man doesn't love her?" Chen Ziang continued to ask.

"It depends." Nicole replied indifferently, "If the witch loves this man deeply, but doesn't expect to be loved by him, then it should have no effect."

"Of course, this kind of thing is relatively rare. Because based on my understanding of human beings, almost everyone who loves each other deeply will desire the other's love at the same time."

"If this is the case, this witch will become extremely unstable and very dangerous."

"How to say specifically?" Chen Ziang asked nervously.

"If you can't love, isn't life the most painful?" Nicole replied, "And pain is the source of the witch's own strength."

"So once this kind of situation occurs, this witch will often become very powerful, and at the same time her own anchor will be crumbling... In other words, it is extremely dangerous and super unstable. I advise Mr. Asker to stay away from such a witch far, the farther the better."

Chen Ziang was silent for a long time, expressing that he was educated.

Looking at the list of altars again, other powers have not changed. [Profane Knowledge] and [Thousand-faced Incarnation] are not needed. [Fear Night Demon] is a double-edged sword that is difficult to control. The only thing worth paying attention to is [Capturing Malice].

This power can be understood literally, and it is the ability to perceive other people's malice towards oneself.

Chen Zi'ang originally thought it was useless, but after being ambushed by a team of mystic scholars from the Federation on the top floor of the embassy, ​​he realized that this power is still very important.

Even if weirdness won't ambush you, some people will!
Exchange requires 200 power points, small money, first exchange.

In addition, there is the continued upgrade of [Touch of the Abyss] (this time requires 2000 merit points), and the promotion of the rank of "Sacrifice Man" (1000 merit points), all of which can be discussed next time.

After the exchange was completed, Chen Ziang left the dream world, turned around and ran to the dying place to ask Sarah Hek for information.

After relaying Nicole's words, Sarah Heck just sneered and said:

"I received it. Mr. Asker, won't you come and see the altar? Maybe there are powers you need to exchange."

"I'll wait." Chen Ziang said with a sigh, "Sarahek, do you know witches?"

"If a witch loves a certain man deeply, but that man doesn't love her, how to prevent this witch from becoming extreme, or even having a tendency to self-destruct or destroy the world?"

"Well, your assumption is very clear, so the answer is very direct." Sarah Hek replied in a cold tone without thinking, "Try to control that man and force him to love that witch."

Chen Ziang: ……………

"Trust me." Sarah Heck sneered grimly. "Human beings will erupt powerful forces when they are in fear, including but not limited to deceiving themselves, paralyzing themselves, and even permanently changing their minds."

"Then if, I mean if..." Chen Ziang said awkwardly, "For example, I have a friend who is that man, so what should I do from his point of view?"

"Hmm." Sarah Hek pondered for about a second, "Trying to love that witch?"

"Then if this friend of mine..." Chen Ziang felt it was difficult to speak, he said bravely, "He may already have a crush...not a crush, but very close. If he has to date, he might be more willing to give priority to it. Considering her?"

"The crush you mentioned." Sarah Hek asked hoarsely, "Is it a witch?"

"No." Chen Ziang replied.

"Then abandon her." Sarah Hek said decisively, "Go and choose that witch."

"Mr. Asker, I can advise your friend: Although a human life is short enough, it is enough for him to empathize with others many times. But if he is killed by a witch whose obsession has collapsed because of ignorance, then Not a single chance."

"Such a choice, not to mention humans, dogs also know how to choose."

Chen Ziang: ……………

"Then what if his crush is also a witch?" He asked absently.

"Two witches fighting over a man, right?" Sarah Hek pondered. "For us ghouls, a corpse can be divided into two equal parts, but living humans shouldn't be able to."

"Maybe you can let the two witches fight each other, and let your friends choose the winning side forever, so that they won't be killed."

...Perhaps I should ask humans for this kind of question.

Chen Ziang sighed and nodded to show that he was educated.

I went to the black altar to check the altar, and found that the list was still being refreshed, so Chen Ziang left the dying state and returned to reality.

Xiao Zhu was still sitting on the sofa, quietly looking ahead, without saying a word.

Sitting beside her, Chen Ziang couldn't help but said:

"Sister."

"If you had to choose, would you prefer your Miss Suzuna, or the recent Xia Zili?"

He said to himself:
"If you want to talk about feelings, Suzuna came first after all, and I know her intentions, there is no reason not to choose her."

"But I definitely can't let Xia Zili become a witch. She is also a good girl and shouldn't be reduced to that end."

Thinking of Mie Nishikawa, Seiko Takano, and other victims, Chen Ziang sighed again, and said:

"In fact, many people should not be reduced to that end."

"But after all, I don't have the ability to save everyone."

"Xiao Zhu, sometimes I really hate myself for being weak..."

Gradually he couldn't continue, he just stared at the floor in a daze, thinking what was the use of telling his sister these things?
But soon there was a soft touch around him.

Chen Xiaozhu clumsily hugged him.
