The Witch's Taste

Chapter 6 The Moon Is Beautiful Tonight
"There are three types of abnormal cases that we need to deal with in the six countermeasures. They are divided into 'alienation', 'invasion', and 'spiritual descent' from low to high risk."

Chen Ziang sorted out his thoughts, and explained the business knowledge of the six countermeasures lesson in detail:
"Alienation refers to the event that human beings come into contact with certain things that contain mysterious power. Due to intense spiritual pollution, their spiritual vision rises sharply, and thus they become physically alienated into monsters."

"Become a monster?" Suzuna Tsukimiya asked pretending to be curious, "But as far as we front-line operators are concerned, despite protection and regular inspections, long-term contact with weirdness will lead to a rise in spiritual vision. Why haven't we turned into monsters? ?”

"Because the speed is different." Chen Ziang replied, "It's like a diver who floats or dives from the deep sea, and has to stop and adapt at intervals, otherwise the body cannot withstand the pressure changes—the same is true for spiritual vision. of."

He took a sip from the teacup and continued to introduce:

"Compared to alienation, invasion refers to the weirdness in the abyss, which comes to the world for some reason."

"I have a question." Suzuna Tsukimiya asked eagerly, "What kind of weirdness will invade the world?"

"You should have heard the analogy of the floating ice." Chen Ziang said seriously, "The abyss is an unfathomable ocean, and the present world is the floating ice on the surface of the sea. The so-called 'spiritual vision' is what we humans call it. In the depths of the abyss."

"Of course, similar to marine life, weirdness also has its own depth of activity. Let's take the ocean as an example. It is impossible for deep-sea anglerfish to appear on the sea surface, but the sardines migrating near the sea surface , but there is a possibility of jumping out of the water."

"Similarly, most of the time, those low-level weirdnesses with an activity depth between 0 and 10 will frequently appear in the present world with a depth of 0."

"I see." Suzuna Tsukimiya nodded and said, "So what we usually deal with are these low-level weirdnesses, right?"

"That's right." Chen Ziang nodded and said, "As for descending the gods..."

He was silent for a while, frowned and said:

"I don't know much about this. I can only say that every ritual that tried to communicate with the gods of the abyss and was successful in the end almost brought about extremely huge disasters."

"Fortunately, it is very difficult to communicate with the gods. Since the gods are located in an extremely deep position in the abyss, it will not only take a long time to establish a connection from this world to the other side, but also various visions will appear in the process , so as long as it is discovered and reacted in time, it is not difficult to stop."

"Then what if, due to various reasons, the séance ceremony was not stopped in the end?" Tsukimiya Suzuna asked curiously.

"Uh." Chen Ziang joked, "Then at least you don't have to worry about being punished by your unit."

Because Jibei City must be destroyed, right... Suzuna Tsukimiya laughed dryly a few times.

"In short, working in Countermeasures Section [-] must be very dangerous." Chen Ziang hinted at the right time, "If you want to be more secure, the best choice is of course Wisdom Section [-]. Most of them deal with fraud and economic crimes. There is not much overtime, and it is easy to make achievements.”

"Then why did you stay in Countermeasures Section [-]?" Tsukimiya Suzuna pretended not to understand, and continued to ask.

"Because..." Chen Ziang was silent for a moment, "My parents were in this line of business before they disappeared. They opened an exorcism office."

Of course, Suzuna Yuegong knew that due to certain ulterior secrets, not everyone would choose to call the police for help after encountering a sudden change.

Hence the emergence of unofficial exorcism groups that handle mutations for inconvenient private clients.Some people are detectives who are willing to do any job, and the other part are monks and witches who seem to be professional counterparts.

"Let's not talk about this." When it came to his parents, Chen Ziang was also a little upset, "It's getting late. Moon Palace, shall I take you back?"

"Oh." Suzuna Yuegong wanted to stay overnight, but she knew better that the traditional seniors would never agree, so she smiled and said, "No, I'll go by myself."

"I'll see you off." Chen Ziang insisted, "It's a small road outside, and the lighting is not very good."

The two put on their shoes, opened the door and went out.

Facing the gate of the house is a path restricted to non-motorized vehicles and a river named "Tone River".

Yuegong Lingna held the small bag in both hands, and walked beside Chen Ziang step by step. Looking at the silver light reflected by the river beside the road, she suddenly said softly:

"The moonlight is so beautiful tonight."

"What?" Chen Ziang didn't hear clearly.

"Let me tell you." Tsukimiya Suzuna turned around briskly, her long hair fluttering with the arc of her turn, like a beautiful paper umbrella stretched out, "The motorway is ahead."

"Senior just send me here!" She said with a smile on her face.

"Yes." Chen Ziang nodded, "Be careful on the road."

Tsukimiya Suzuna waved her hand, then turned and walked away.

She walked six or seven steps, then turned around suddenly, and saw Chen Ziang still staying where he was, as if he would feel relieved when he saw her walking on the brightly lit avenue.

After meeting eyes for a moment, Tsukimiya Suzuna raised her right hand reservedly, waved at him again, indicating that he could go back, and then continued to turn and leave.

Turning the corner and taking a few steps forward, she suddenly turned around again, hid her body behind the wall, and carefully looked out.

Seeing Chen Ziang's back disappearing behind the gate of the courtyard, she withdrew her gaze in a sense of loss, remained silent for a moment, and took out her mobile phone to call a taxi.

Before the taxi driver's call came, the father's call came first:
"Suzuna?"

"Father, are you off work?"

"Well, I heard that you handled a case today, but the Public Security Department refused to share the details..."

"Father, don't worry, I will take care of it." Tsukimiya Suzuna walked briskly in circles, "I have a very good senior to take me."

"Senior?" The mother's voice came from the phone again, she was surprised at first, but soon calmed down again, "If you have time, take it home and have a look, so we can entertain you."

"No need, mother." Tsukimiya Suzuna said with a smile, "He is just an ordinary security officer, there is no need for you to investigate."

"That's good." The father's majestic voice came, "Come back when you get tired of playing. The daughter of our Yuegong family has not been reduced to the point where I need to go down to the grassroots and fight for my life with those rogues..."

His voice was interrupted by the mother next to him. The two seemed to be arguing in a low voice, but they couldn't hear the details.

"It's fine." Tsukimiya Suzuna was still smiling, "Don't worry, I'll hang up."

She hung up the phone, and the smile on her face gradually faded.

My father guessed right, the reason why I joined the six countermeasures class was not because I really wanted to work in this industry.

However, she who already knows the future, and the overall plan conceived in her heart, can't tell anyone around her for the time being.
