The Witch's Taste

Chapter 363 Above the Witch
"A more powerful mysterious source of pollution?" Rio said in surprise, "I don't know that. She has been asking me to study the plague of Aegelaos."

"What's there to study?" Chen Ziang asked with a frown.

"It's really valuable for research." Rio Hokaze said lightly, "The so-called 'mutant Japanese encephalitis virus' of the plague of Aegelaos is just a material carrier, and it carries a mysterious source of pollution inside. It has been confirmed that it is related to Related to the deity 'Plaguewalker'."

"Is it okay to say the name of the god directly?" Chen Ziang asked worriedly.

"It's okay." Hokaze Rio said nonchalantly, "This god has set his sights on the real world. It doesn't matter whether he chants his name or not."

"Hey! Don't use a nonchalant tone to say such extremely terrible things!"

After listening to Suifeng Lisu's explanation for a long time, Chen Ziang learned that the plague that occurred in Aegelaos was similar to Garcia's plague of the living dead. It was essentially a source of pollution that was deliberately spread and had mysterious effects.

The function of the plague of the living dead is to transform intelligent life into the living dead; of course, the plague of Aegelaos is not just to make people get encephalitis.

Once the infection base reaches a certain level, a natural trance ritual will be formed.It’s hard to say what came over. Rio Hokaze is still doing in-depth research. The current guess is that it is either the god’s clone of the Plague Walker, or something similar to a god’s servant... Anyway, for the civilized world, it is definitely It's a super disaster.

Compared with this crazy thing spread by the Barr Group, the living dead plague that Chen Ziang released in the reservoir is completely childish.

Sure enough, to compare with the darkness and evil of the elven chaebol, I am far from qualified...

Chen Ziang suddenly realized another thing: Although no one has officially traced the origin of this variant of Japanese encephalitis, everyone basically believes that it was actively spread by the Barr Group, and the two have been bound to each other.

In other words, if the plague spreads in Garcia, the plutocrats will definitely identify the Barr Group as the mastermind behind it - why?Because they have special medicine!Even if it is to sell more drugs, the Barr Group has a strong profit motive to do so!

As a result, won't the chaebols start fighting among themselves again?

Chen Ziang suddenly became enlightened and continued to probe:
"Since you are studying this, then...does Xia Qingyu have it? I mean..."

"Use it as a weapon?" Suikaze Rio said in surprise, "Don't you know? I thought you approved it."

Chen Ziang: ……………

Seeing that he was silent, Hokaze Rio changed the topic and asked casually:
"So how are you doing over there? Has the jealousy issue been resolved?"

"Uh, why did you suddenly talk about this?" Chen Ziang said helplessly, "It's okay, they haven't had much quarrel recently."

"Maybe it's because the situation is too tense." Risu Suofeng thought thoughtfully, "Sure enough, from the perspective of political game theory, the best way for two hostile forces to cooperate is to create a more A threatening common enemy...is useful no matter what the situation."

"However, you don't plan to continue like this, do you? To be honest, the Federation is much more difficult to deal with than the Shura Field. The two are not risks of the same difficulty level."

"I have determined to devote my limited life to the infinite cause of fighting against the evil federation." Chen Ziang said righteously.Hokaze Rio couldn't help but laugh:
"real or fake?"

"Of course it's false." Chen Zi'ang smiled bitterly and shook his head, "But now I don't have time to think about what to do in the future. Just continuing to move forward at the current pace is enough to make me very anxious."

"Indeed, after all, we have to manage more than 2000 million people." Rio Hokaze sighed, "And we were attacked by pirates yesterday, and they have recently begun to disembark. These people really don't want to worry."

This interstellar pirate attack was basically an anticlimax.At first it came fiercely, then it attacked frantically, and finally withdrew hastily... It was a morale booster for the military, but the perception of the people was exactly the opposite.

For most people, this pirate attack reminded them of one thing, that is, living on a starship is no more vulnerable to attack by foreign enemies than on a planet, and at the same time, civilians have no place to escape.

The space environment is all around you. Where do you want to escape to?Once you are involved in a war, you can only rely on the starship military. If you win, you will survive, if you lose, you will die.

After realizing this situation, the two voices within the starship humans have become more and more differentiated:
The "disembarkation faction" further strengthened the original idea of ​​​​disembarking, "No matter how harsh the environment is on the planet, it is better than a large ship isolated and helpless."However, these "disembarkation factions" are generally relatively moderate at present. They only collectively call for "finding a planet suitable for colonization as soon as possible". There is no such extremist group as "If you don't let me disembark, I will die with you."

This is also thanks to the ongoing anti-federal propaganda in the ship so far, otherwise a large number of residents must have asked to disembark in Garcia... You know, humans in Garcia are now taking refuge on the starship!
As a faction supported by high-level officials, the "ship-retaining faction" has an absolute advantage in terms of momentum and scale.Their views are equally clear: Colonization is impossible. If you look for planetary colonization on the territory of the Federation, it is nothing more than repeating the mistakes of Takamagahara.

Although the big ship has various shortcomings, at least it can run!The Milky Way is so big, and if we go to a place beyond the control of the Federation, then it doesn't matter if everyone gets off the ship or stays on the ship. But if you want to make a fuss about getting off the ship now and hinder our escape plan, then please go to space immediately!
"It's okay." Chen Zi'ang said nonchalantly, "The group of people who disembarked in Aegelaos before are probably even ashamed of themselves now. Most people's memories are not that bad."

"And no matter how loud the voice is, with Xia Qingyu's methods, it can probably be suppressed easily." Suikaze Lio agreed.

Chen Ziang was silent for a moment and suddenly asked:

"Risu, from your perspective, what kind of person is Xia Qingyu...?"

"The logic is clear, the purpose is clear, and he does things vigorously and resolutely." Rio Suikaze replied, "He is a person suitable for being a leader."

"Yeah." Chen Ziang sighed and said, "Then do you know how she became a witch?"

"I don't know." Rio Honokaze replied, "The reason why they become witches is the biggest pain in their hearts. It is difficult for outsiders to find out. You can understand, right?"

"Hmm." Chen Ziang hesitated, "Then do you think it is possible to 'actively choose to become a witch'?"

"Yes." Suikaze Rio said concisely and concisely, "The Milky Way is so big, all kinds of examples are possible."

"Whether you passively endure the pain or actively embrace the pain, it doesn't matter. All the witch needs is the pain itself. And if you have to say it, even if you know that hell is ahead, you still choose to jump without hesitation. Such a person ...The will must be firm to an unimaginable level, and the pain threshold that the mind can endure will be even higher."

"And a witch needs pain that is enough to break people's defenses, so according to what you said, if someone actively chooses to take this path, and she succeeds in the end... then her strength will probably surpass that of ordinary witches. "
