The Witch's Taste

Chapter 191 Superhero, transformation

Another uneventful day passed.

Chen Ziang failed to contact the witch, as the other party said before, "She can't trust anyone at all now."

Even if he took the risk of contacting himself, it was probably out of a certain attitude of treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor, and he didn't have too much expectation.

The only good news today is that some unemployed miners seem to be unable to bear it anymore and have already started to leave Extreme North City.

Although the number of these people is less than one-tenth of the total, it is a good start after all.

When Chen Ziang returned home, he saw that Xia Zili had prepared a table of meals in advance and was feeding Xiaozhu.

"Welcome back." Seeing Chen Ziang changing shoes in the hall, Xia Zili stood up and brought him new slippers, "I'll wash the slippers you were wearing for you."

"Oh, thank you." Chen Zi'ang was a little strange, but thinking that the other party was staying here temporarily and didn't need her to pay the rent, he would feel indebted and spontaneously do some housework, which was also a reasonable way to repay the favor.

"I also took the initiative to change and wash the sheets and clothes at home." Xia Zili continued, "I replaced them with new ones."

"It's okay." Chen Ziang waved his hand, "I was supposed to change it regularly."

"After the cleaning, I was a little bored, so I made dinner by the way." Xia Zili said shyly, "I ran out of the ingredients in the refrigerator, so I'll go buy some later."

"It doesn't need to be so troublesome." Chen Ziang said quickly, "It will be the same if you buy it tomorrow."

"But there is a discount at the supermarket tonight." Xia Zili took out her phone.

Chen Ziang took a closer look, and it was indeed a limited discount for all products tonight. It seems that due to the large number of unemployed miners gathering in the city center, the supermarket also felt the pressure of security, and wanted to cash out the goods in the warehouse into funds as soon as possible.

"You eat first, I'll be back soon." Xia Zili quickly put on all her armor and hid her face tightly, so fast that even Chen Ziang didn't have time to stop her, so she could only say:

"Be careful on the road."

Even though this girl has mysterious powers, five or ten gangsters can't get close to her, and she doesn't think she will encounter any danger, but he is still vaguely uneasy.

"Yeah." Xia Zili pushed the door and went out.

Not long after she left, Chen Ziang regretted it, because the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense.

call her.

"Well, I'm going to the supermarket soon." Xia Zili deliberately lowered her voice, and came from the other end of the phone, "I'll be back after shopping."

"Okay, be careful." Chen Ziang repeatedly urged, and hung up the phone.

Xia Zili did not lie.

At this time, she was already standing at the door of the supermarket, and she was indeed "coming to the supermarket", and at the same time, she really planned to "come back after shopping".

Before buying something, however, there is one important thing to take care of.

"Mother." Xia Zili asked anxiously, "Do you really want to do this?"

"It's too late to regret it now." The mother beside him said slowly.

"No." Xia Zili shook her head, "I won't let the turmoil spread to the Qunma District, after all Chen Ziang... he and his sister live here, I can't put them in danger."

"But besides using force, is there really... really no other way?"

"No more." The mother replied softly, "Zili, my silly child, you are obviously so smart, why can't you see through this matter?"

"The people above...they don't care about those unemployed miners. What they really care about is the mainstream public opinion in Extreme North City."

"Most of the citizens in the extreme north are ordinary people with no political literacy. Before endangering their own lives, they generally have subconscious sympathy and compassion for the unemployed miners, and they are opposed to the plan of violent suppression. It is this anti-violence trend of public opinion that makes it impossible for the authorities to use force to disperse the unemployed miners."

"However, once these unemployed miners start to riot, causing huge security threats and property losses to the citizens of the extreme north, the mainstream public opinion will undergo an earth-shaking reversal in a short period of time."

"Thus, those people above will definitely try their best to restrain the security officers at first. Even if the unemployed miners really rob, smash or even kill people, and in turn endanger the safety of the security officers, they will not treat them in the short term. Any prevention and punishment—after all, they need to commit a lot of evil deeds before they can use these bloody facts to change public opinion and turn the public opinion situation in their favor.”

"In this way, the initial turmoil is inevitable. Zili, you don't want the turmoil to spread to the Qunma District and endanger Chen Zi'ang's residence, right?"

Xia Zili was speechless, but immersed in unspeakable sadness.

Why... why can't everyone understand each other and must be hostile to each other?
But she also knew that the Heart of Mary could not solve the problem, so she just immersed herself in the emotion for a while, then whispered:

"Mom, I'm ready."

"Then give your body to me." The mother's voice became more gentle, "It's just right, let me teach you too..."

"How to fight like a hero."

Xia Zili stood in the shadows that the street lights couldn't reach, her head gradually lowered.

Soon, her skin began to squirm violently, as if something crawled out of the cuffs and collar, quickly covering her whole body.

What finally came out of the darkness was a black beast covered in hard leather.

"Zi Li." She whispered to herself, "If you want to become a hero and stop crime and evil, the first thing you need is to get rid of your fragile body."

"How can you be a superhero if you're going to get hit by a bullet, right?"

"This power is called [Feng Rang Ritual], which can activate your flesh and blood into a form with strong vitality. Now I will teach you it. From now on, I will ask you to activate the [Feng Rang Ritual] in advance every time you prepare for battle. ], you must not expose your fragile body to the enemy."

"After strengthening your body, all you need is to spread your eyes and ears."

She stretched out her slimy upper limbs, and the flesh at the end suddenly split open, releasing a large amount of corruption clouds from it.

Each of these tiny droplets is a strange insect with a large number of compound eyes.This cloud of festering insects quickly spread out along the streets and highways under the cover of night.

"[Festering Cloud and Mist], although the name is a bit ugly, but it is surprisingly easy to use." She let out a brisk, joyful laugh, "They will become your eyes and ears, and they will detect hundreds of thousands of miles away for you. Any movement of the camera can also help you quickly capture the target you are looking for in this complex urban environment."

"Ah, found it."

As her mother adjusted her powers, Xia Zili's consciousness quickly connected with an insect.

Following the insect's ultra-wide field of vision, it saw that among the miners sitting quietly at the entrance of the Dijing Building, a rumor had already begun to spread:
"Hey, do you know why Lao Liu and the others left early?"

"Why? I heard it seems that the family has run out of food and can't hold on..."

"Fart! It's because Dijing Group secretly paid them resettlement fees!"

"What?! But...why don't we? We also have families and children to raise!"

"I don't know, but..."

"...I heard that all the people who got the money were from the Lu tribe."
