The Witch's Taste

Chapter 293: Watch carefully, this is how the blood curse works
There is nothing new under the sun.

As Chen Ziang expected, the military troops who suddenly returned to Jibei City were regarded as life-saving straws by almost all witnesses - everyone believed that the military definitely had a way to escape Gao Tianyuan.

Even if it doesn’t happen, we don’t believe it!
After repeated infiltrations all ended in failure, these gangsters also realized that there was absolutely no chance of winning by using force, so they threw away their weapons and turned back into civilians. Then they began to look for other residents in nearby hideouts and quickly spread the news:
"The military has returned to Jibei City! The Shinjuku City Public Security Bureau is currently organizing rescue operations. If we go later, we will be late!"

Human beings' power in the face of survival is indeed endless.It is now 1 o'clock in the morning, and people fleeing the disaster have already gathered at the entrance of the Sheriff's Department after hearing the news. A rough count of the number of people is even thousands, filling the streets outside.

If so many people gathered to attack the entrance of the Sheriff's Department... of course they would all die, but the impact would be bad after all.

Soon, under the command of Chen Ziang, two soldiers came out and set up a row of waterproof awnings, tables and chairs.

There is a plastic sheet hanging on the top of each awning, with three big words written in paint:

registry.

Strange to say.Before the soldiers came out, the faces of the crowd gathered outside were numb, sluggish, and depressed, as if they would stand at the door until they freeze to death, and as if they would madly attack the entrance of the Public Security Hall in the next second - Island The two seemingly contradictory characteristics of the ethnic people's "submission to authority" and "subduing superiority from below" are most vividly apparent at this time.

However, as the "Registration Office" appeared, everyone seemed to have changed their spirits and quickly lined up in front of each awning.

"Name? Age? Nationality? Occupation? How many people are in the family?" the soldiers asked mechanically, filling in the relevant information in the registration book, and then sent the number paper spit out by the machine to the other party - the machine called the number from a nearby restaurant The machine was picked up directly on the spot, "We will start screening and calling at noon tomorrow. We will not wait if it is late."

People who got the number slips seemed to have lights in their eyes. They quickly folded them and hid them on their bodies, and then hurried to a nearby building to take shelter from the rain, fearing that the number slips would get wet by the rain outside.

"It's amazing." Inside the office building, Xia Zili exclaimed in surprise when she saw the crowds of people queuing outside through the window, "Why is this happening?"

"Because there is an old saying." Chen Ziang replied, "No matter how miserable order is, it is better than disorder."

"In a completely disordered environment, people will do anything illegal and immoral in order to survive. Once there is order and hope, many people will subconsciously give up thinking and follow the rules. The more people are born and raised in big cities, This is especially true for people who have been highly domesticated by modern society."

"But what should we do next?" Xia Zili asked worriedly, "Not everyone who gets the ticket number will be called in the end."

"So we have to give them a hope that they will be called next time." Chen Ziang replied, "The number is called on time at 12 o'clock every day, and a group of people are let in. Those who did not get their turn are asked to wait for the next day. "

"As long as we call the number on time every noon to release people and make them believe that we have no intention of running away immediately, who is willing to risk being shot to death and storm the base?"

"So that's it." Xia Zili suddenly realized, "Is the call a complete lottery selection?"

"Of course it's not random." Chen Ziang replied, "But as long as we don't admit it, there's nothing they can do."

Xia Zili: ……………

so weird.

At this point in time, my husband from the previous life was definitely not as good at deceiving as he was.

However, after experiencing the tragedy in her previous life, Xia Zili also knows the essence of "propaganda", which is actually just another "relatively legal" deception.

Not to mention that in this doomsday environment, as long as we can try to save more people, what does it matter even if we lie?

--------

Three in the morning.

In order to compete with natural disasters, soldiers almost always work in two shifts.The team that escorted the experts back took a break for the time being, and another team that was originally on standby quickly set off to ensure that the rescue activities would not stop for 24 hours.

Chen Zi'ang, on the other hand, has "no shift" and has not rested at all since landing.While guarding the communicator to confirm the situation on the front line, he was also arranging and adjusting the next escort plan. From time to time, he had to pay attention to the "registration status" at the door... It could be said that he was too busy with his tasks and had no time to sleep at all.Xia Zili was also very distressed and persuaded:

"Why don't you go get some sleep first and I'll pick you up from work."

"It doesn't matter." Chen Ziang shook his head and said, "I'm not sleepy yet."

"Your eyes are bloodshot." Xia Zili retorted, "And if you drink a cup of strong tea every ten minutes, your body won't be able to bear it if you continue like this, right?"

"If you can't hold on, give me some power." Chen Ziang joked, "I heard that you know blood spells? Is there any blood spell that makes people unable to sleep?"

Xia Zili was startled when she heard this, and then said after a long while:

"Who told you? Suzuna Tsukimiya?"

"Yes." Chen Ziang nodded and said, "She only mentioned that you knew blood spells, but didn't say what it was for."

"Hmph. Have I told you about her?" Xia Zili sneered, "You don't know how white lotus she used to be."

"At first, she was just a rich girl. She met you when you were working on a case. Later, she stalked you and even asked her father to use his connections to arrange for her to join you where you work."

"Not only that, she also deliberately approached me and pretended to be a good best friend. During the best period of our relationship, I was even naive enough to think that she was helping me take care of you, such as supervising you to be on time when you were busiest. Have a meal……"

"Uh..." Chen Ziang was speechless.

It does sound like something Suzuna would do. After all, this sweet island girl's attitude towards love is like the war of nomads. She is full of initiative and aggression and will not let go of any opportunity.

Of course, if the target is a married woman, this overly proactive personality will turn into an "offensive mistress" that women particularly hate. It's no wonder Xia Zili hates her so much.

"Anyway, I'm not saying this to put any pressure on you." Xia Zili sighed, "I'm not naive enough to force you in this life to acknowledge and accept a marriage in your previous life that you don't remember at all."

"But... at least you should be able to understand why I have a bad feeling for her, right?"

"I understand," Chen Zi'ang said quickly, "Actually, I just hope that you won't be too hostile to each other, at least not to affect what we are doing. And after all, I don't know much about your hatred in the previous life. 'Don't advise others if you don't know their sufferings. I also know the truth that others are kind."

"Chen Zi'ang." Xia Zili stared at him quietly, her eyes gradually softening, "So in this life, you must not take your life and health seriously."

"If something really happens to you, let's not talk about other things... Our fragile cooperative relationship will definitely fall apart immediately."

Chen Ziang nodded and was about to say something when Xia Zili stretched out a finger and touched his forehead like a dragonfly touching water.

"...So, have a good sleep."

Strong sleepiness hit him instantly, his head drooped, and he fell into Xia Zili's warm embrace.

In the Ever Given bridge command room, Tsukimiya Suzuna, who was curled up in a chair, suddenly shuddered.

"Is the air conditioner turned on a little too cold?" She turned around and asked Chen Xiaozhu.

Chen Xiaozhu didn't answer.
