The Witch's Taste

Chapter 284 My pain can distort the world

After election day, the election results were actually confirmed.

It's just that the procedure still needs to be reviewed and counted, so it has not been announced to the public.

The next night, when the review results were finally announced, a large number of people spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate, and the bars were also overcrowded.

Xia Zili stood on the street and watched everything in silence.

Having lived in two lifetimes, she can probably guess the psychology of these people:
The reason why I have always voted for the National British Party in the past was not because I sincerely supported the National British Party, but because of some kind of "inertia of choice" - when my grandparents, grandparents, father and mother all voted for the National British Party, I had nothing to do with it. Other "better choices" will of course be consistent with the whole family.

I have to say that "reading the air" is simply an innate racial talent of the island people.

However, if "reading the air" is blind obedience to the collective and self-repression, then "lower than above" is an explosion after long-term suppression.

The result of long-term support for the British Party is that everyone has become rebellious towards this kind of thing.

Now that the Democratic Party has been elected, many people have taken to the streets to celebrate. This is not to celebrate the election of the Democratic Party, but to cheer for "their behavior of breaking authority" and to vent their long-term suppressed behavior in the past.

Xia Zili, who felt a little bored after walking around the streets for a long time, suddenly received a call from Norika Hoshino:
"Youxi, now that the governor general election is over, the work at the office has to start again. The new recording studio at the Fortune Building has been set up. Can you go over and check it for acceptance? I will ask the construction team to change it if it doesn't work."

The recording studio... Takamagahara is about to explode, so why build a new recording studio?

Xia Zili said irritably:
"Sister Ji Xiang, I've been... feeling a little unwell recently. I'll go back to work next week."

"Okay." Hoshino Norika sighed, "Then you have a good rest first, and I will come back to you next Monday to confirm."

After hanging up the phone, Xia Zili walked around for a long time and finally returned to the door of the Intelligence Bureau unit.

Because she often came to visit, the guard already knew her, so he just said:
"Looking for Minister Xia, right? Just go and sign the register."

After Xia Zili signed her name, she went to the building of the fifth intelligence department, took the elevator to the underground intelligence warehouse, and saw Chen Ziang sitting on the bed in the infirmary, drinking porridge.

"Are you awake?" Xia Zili asked in a low voice.

"Yeah." Chen Ziang put down the porridge bowl, "Stop standing at the door, find a seat and sit."

Since the last tempered horse racing, the relationship between the two has not warmed up, but has become a little weird.

Because Suzuna Tsukinomiya sneaked away first, Xia Zili followed quickly not to be outdone.I took the initiative to hand over my first time in order not to be left too far behind.

But then what?
In fact, for most men, "love" and "desire" are separate from each other, while the opposite is true for women.Xia Zili felt that the two of them should be closer after the horse race, but when it came to the other person, she felt that such a request was a bit too much, so that for a while she didn't even know what kind of attitude she should take to face her husband in her previous life.

Chen Ziang also noticed her embarrassment and asked with a smile:

"Are you still worried about Gao Tianyuan?"

"...Yeah." Xia Zili nodded and admitted.

"That's not your fault." Chen Zi'ang comforted her, "You don't really think you can defeat the Federation's conspiracy, do you? This kind of thing... is just a matter of trying your best and obeying fate. Failure is also normal."

"No." Xia Zili shook her head and said, "I just feel a little uncomfortable because...I think that so many people will die because of this, but I can't do anything..."

"I understand." Chen Ziang sighed and said, "Then change your thinking."

"Change your thinking?" Xia Zili blinked.

"If you always think about what you failed to do, not only will it not help, but it will also make you feel worse." Chen Ziang suggested, "But what about changing your thinking? It is precisely because we failed to save Gao Tianyuan, that’s why we need to try our best to remedy it, right?”

"Yes." Xia Zili thought it was right, and tried to cheer up, "But what can I do?"

"Ringna is purchasing supplies outside now, and Qingyu... is probably taking stock of personnel information." Chen Ziang continued, "You can go and help or something."

"What about you?" Xia Zili asked. "I'm going to see Li Xu later. She seems to have detected abnormalities in the crustal activity." Chen Zi'ang replied.

"I'll go with you." Xia Zili said without hesitation.

After resting on the hospital bed for a while, Chen Ziang got up and got out of bed. Xia Zili quickly went over to help his arm.

"Speaking of which," she said tentatively, "I thought Suzuna would stay here to guard you."

"She did plan to do this." Chen Ziang replied, "But I told her to go and get busy. After all, I am not a seriously injured patient who needs care, and there are indeed more important things now."

Xia Zili said oh and stopped talking.

She actually wanted to ask Chen Ziang what he thought now, such as how he viewed Tsukinomiya Suzuna and herself, but she couldn't deny that "there are more important things now"... That's right, Gao Tianyuan was going to be destroyed, and she It is indeed a bit inappropriate to still struggle with romance.

"Speaking of which," Chen Ziang asked casually, "You acted very strange that day in the federal embassy. Is it because you awakened and became a witch?"

"Yes." Xia Zili said frankly, "When I was very young, I actually awakened the memory of my previous life."

"But because those memories... were too painful, I should have split a personality to seal these memories."

"That's the guy hiding in your conscious space, pretending to be your mother, right?" Chen Ziang scratched his head and said with a wry smile, "Actually, I have noticed it a long time ago."

"Your elf blood comes from your father, but although that guy claims to be your mother, he has brilliant blond hair... It is obviously impossible. However, since you have the memory of the past life, you can still be called It’s ‘mother’ in another sense.”

"Yes." Xia Zili sighed, "In the federal embassy, ​​because of the emotional impact, I and she have become one again."

"...I have basically recovered the memories of my previous life."

"That's great." Chen Zi'ang was silent for a moment and suddenly asked, "So, Zi Li."

"Can you tell me, my past life..."

"...How did you die?"

Xia Zili also fell silent.

After a long time, just when Chen Ziang thought she refused to answer, he heard her whisper:

"It's because... we noticed that the Federation wanted to implement a genocidal policy against the humans in the star sector, so at that time you wanted to go to the Imperial Embassy for help, and then..."

She spoke in a trance, but her eyes gradually relaxed, as if she was immersed in some extremely painful emotion.

These emotions were so strong that Chen Ziang was instantly infected by her pain, and there was a vague pain like a knife stabbing in his chest.

This abnormality even began to spread to the real world: countless pairs of eyes slowly appeared on the surrounding walls, staring directly at him, and then they all began to ooze blood and tears, and a fishy smell filled the air.

Seeing that a change was about to happen in this room, Chen Ziang made a quick decision, hugged her hard and said repeatedly:

"Okay, okay, I won't ask anymore, and don't think about the past. Am I not living well now?"

The tight body in her arms suddenly relaxed.As Xia Zili's mood stabilized again, the extremely painful atmosphere slowly faded away, and the countless eyes and blood and tears on the wall also disappeared.

Chen Ziang patted her back gently, but dense cold sweat broke out on his own back.

What happened to her? !
Is just being emotional enough to distort the surrounding environment?I have never seen a witch who can do this!

Fortunately, I reacted quickly enough to stabilize her in time, otherwise when she completely loses control of her emotions, she would blow up the big intelligence library at a fixed point... Xia Qingyu will definitely punish me severely when she comes back!
