The Witch's Taste

But it is not completely impossible to start, at least for miners, it should be a form of information that is easy to receive and understand.

Then the answer is simple.

First try to find an unemployed miner, and then conduct a mystical investigation on him, and you should be able to find traces of this power.

Although it is obvious logic, but without Yuegong Suzuna and Xia Qingyu around to help discuss it, it was a lot slower to figure it out by myself.

Next, send a message to Yuki Izumo and ask her to help arrange it.

Chen Ziang came to the toilet, washed his hands next to the sink, thinking about how to communicate with Yuki Izumo.

Although the other party is Xia Qingyu's retainer, he is also from an outside unit, and he cannot communicate casually like he did with Hoikaze Rio, so he still has to choose his words carefully.

He turned off the faucet tightly and was about to leave the toilet when he suddenly felt dizzy in his head.

"...Chen Ziang." A voice said in his mind.

Chen Ziang shuddered immediately, and asked vigilantly:

"Who?"

"I can't see through your thoughts." The other party sounded like a female voice, with a certain ethereal and ethereal tone, and it seemed to be mysterious, "It's really interesting, there is something protecting you."

"Are you the organizer of those unemployed miners?" Chen Ziang asked tentatively.

"No." The female voice quickly denied, "The people who organized them were actually themselves. I just provided some necessary help."

"Chen Ziang, do you know? In fact, I have been observing you... From Nishikawa Meihui to Takano Seiko's death, you have been subconsciously trying to save them, but every time you try to stop, and finally succumb to the weight of powerlessness Reality. It’s like having two personalities living inside you at the same time, one is an idealist and the other is a realist.”

Chen Ziang was silent for a moment, then said:

"You...are all witches like them?"

"Is it strange?" The voice laughed, "Three witches appear at the same time in the small Gaotianyuan star region."

"Considering the conditions of the witch's birth, it can be easily concluded that the human society in Gaotianyuan is bound to face an extremely serious crisis, but it is hidden in the deliberately created environment of singing and dancing."

"If you can't solve the problem, go and solve the person who asked the problem, and then pretend that the problem doesn't exist. Is this really a good way?"

Chen Ziang was speechless, but quickly activated his inspiration and scanned the inside of his body.

"Nishikawa Mie and Takano Seiko, they both told you their stories." The female voice continued quietly, "Then, how about listening to my story?"

"...See if you can find a way, hehe, save me?"

186. Chapter 185 The Miner’s Daughter

"I was born in a very ordinary family of miners."

"My father was a miner, and my grandfather was also a miner. If there were no accidents, my younger brother would also become a miner. It seems that ore is destined to flow in our family's blood."

"Being a miner is very tiring and bitter, but he earns a lot of money. My father often taught my younger brother to 'be proud of suffering', because that's what my grandfather taught him at the beginning."

"Heaven rewards hard work, God will not disappoint those who work hard...Grandpa often said similar things. After all, he lived in an era when the mining industry was booming, and the effort was indeed directly proportional to the harvest, so he also regarded labor as a must for success." through the road."

"But after my father was 30 years old, the mines he worked in dried up. Fortunately, he had climbed to the position of production team leader at that time, and was not fired by Dijing Group, but was assigned to other mines."

"We moved seven or eight times, big or small. Every time we moved, my father's face became more sad. When I was young, my brother and I didn't know the reason for my father's distress. But now, it seems that my father It has probably been found that there are fewer and fewer mining spots, and the fact that this industry is declining has been foreseen."

"Life is getting worse day by day, and some unemployed colleagues in the past have contacted my father, hoping that he can join the armed guerrillas... But my father is the kind of honest character, and he still wants to make a living through legal work. , so he refused without hesitation."

"But in this world, there will never be a way out for kind people, will it?"

"Until I was 19 years old, my father never found a job again. After the family's savings were almost cut off, my father, my mother, and I discussed all night, and finally decided to leave this world without causing trouble to society."

"My parents committed suicide by taking poison, and I was responsible for tricking my brother into taking the medicine, but he thought the medicine was too bitter, so he refused to drink it after only one sip. If the dose is not enough, he will suffer a severe stomachache before death. Painful, so as the eldest sister, I can only, I can only do it myself..."

The voice seemed to be unable to continue, but it gradually quieted down.

Chen Ziang didn't speak either.Having learned from the previous two lessons, he knows that listening is the best response at this time.

"In short, with the whole family dead, I finally broke the promise I made to my parents and met them under the Nine Springs." The female voice continued, "It's not because I'm afraid of death, but because my hands are covered with blood. , When I just wanted to end this pain as soon as possible, I suddenly had a strong thought."

"If this world is destined to be cruel and merciless to us, why would it favor another group of people? We are all human...why some people can enjoy a life of luxury, while others are destined to be tortured in poverty, even Are you forced to end your own life?"

"So I chose to continue to linger on. I wanted to find out what was driving our family to such a dead end."

Chen Ziang listened silently to the female voice calmly telling about her life, and gradually a strong chill rose from the bottom of her heart.

What the other party asked was also a topic that was not allowed to be mentioned.If people at the bottom of society start to think about this stuff, then chaos will not be far away.

But in terms of his current sense of morality and values, he can't persuade the other party to look away... Being forced to kill her family with her own hands, there is nothing that can restrain her.

The law is not good, and morality is not good, she no longer has any concerns and sustenance.

"In recent years, I have used some secret means to get what I want." The female voice said in a ethereal voice, "I went to university to study the necessary courses, and then sneaked into the inside of the Crystal Group , to understand the history of the development of the entire mining industry.”

"In the end, I discovered that this world has never been a world of 'God rewards those who work hard', but a world of 'class domination'—chess players dominate everything through games, and chess pieces can only be slaughtered by others."

"Shi Jintang wanted to compete with the empire, so he chose to invest in the federation and use the mineral resources of Gaotianyuan to strive for an international environment that is both right and left."

"He also knows that there are not many superficial minerals in Gaotianyuan. The more vigorously the mining industry is developed, the more people will suffer in the future industrial transformation, but he doesn't care at all... whether it is the earth crystal that takes off with the wind Groups, or our humble and ordinary bottom of society, are just pawns that can be used and sacrificed."

"I saw the cruel reality of this world clearly, and voluntarily took on a heavier mission. My father worked as a miner all his life, but he fell into poverty and had to commit suicide. At that time, I was unable to save my poor family. And now... I will never allow so many families of miners to be discarded like pawns by the superiors at will."

"Chen Ziang, I'm not an avenger like Mie Nishikawa, who only vents his hatred through killing; I'm not a defender like Seiko Takano, who wants to use killing to change the social atmosphere."

"I am the miner's daughter, an ordinary low-level citizen, leading these unemployed miner families who are about to be abandoned by society, trying to fight for the right to live in a cruel and ruthless world dominated by the superiors. .”

"In fact, I have long been afraid to trust anyone, but since Mie Nishikawa and Seiko Takano are willing to trust you, maybe you really have some special qualities... So, can I trust you?"

"Chen Ziang, are you willing to try to help me like trying to convince them? Or more precisely..."

"……save me?"

Chen Ziang pondered for a moment, then said:

"I'm not sure I'm going to save anyone, but if you'd trust me, I'd consider trying to help you. What do you need me to do?"

"It's very simple." The female voice said in an emotionless voice, "I don't trust Dijing Group, and I don't believe they will pay us or settle us down."

"I don't trust Gao Tianyuan's upper management even more. I don't believe that they will force Dijing Group to solve the problem, instead of forcing us to submit."

"The only ones who can save the miners are ourselves."

"I hope you can find a way to persuade your boss Xia Qingyu to help us arrange for mining ships to station in Gaotianyuan."

"The mining ship is the property of the Federal Bakht Group. I can't trust those mercenary elves. But I have some secret means to control the elves on the mining ship, and then master the ownership of the entire mining ship."

"If we can't get deep mining technology, there will be no cheap mineral resources available for mining, and we miners will have no value in continuing to exist, so getting this interstellar mining ship...is our only hope for survival."

Chen Ziang pondered again.

She intends to use the means of the witch to control the mining ship, obtain equipment for mining deep minerals, and even reverse-crack the above technology, thereby completely changing the mining structure of Gao Tianyuan.

I have to say that what this witch is going to do sounds more planned and purposeful than "I will drag Extreme North City into hell" or "I will cut off all their tentacles".

But also more difficult...

As for the answer to this witch, there is naturally no need for any hesitation.

If she is rejected here, how the other party will react is uncontrollable. After all, there are so many unemployed miners sitting quietly in the ground floor lobby of Dijing Group!

Whether you want to help her sincerely, or you want to stabilize her first, you must agree to her request.

"Xia Qingyu is not in Gao Tianyuan at this time." He finally explained frankly, "When she comes back, I will help you ask her what she means."

187. Chapter 186 Captain Suzuna, easy to talk to

Treasure Hunter.

When all the crew received the news and quickly gathered on the bridge, they saw six crew members tied to the pillars front and back.

The pillar was made of strange shadows, and countless tentacles protruded from the surface, twisting the victim's limbs back and trapping them tightly, as strong as an iron chain.

Tsukimiya Suzuna stood beside her pretty.She was wearing a white floral dress, a straw hat with flowers on her head, and small and cute sandals on her feet—as if she had just stepped out of a Two-dimensional anime and was going to participate in the summer seaside beach fireworks girl of the night.

The premise is to ignore the groans and pleas of the victims around you.

"I'm sorry for interrupting everyone's time~" she said in an energetic, little devil-like teasing tone, "I called everyone here to hear everyone's opinions."

"Just recently, I received news that someone below was planning to rebel, and then I arranged for someone to investigate, and it turned out that there was such a thing."

"This one... Forget it, I can't remember the name anyway, so I will follow the order from left to right here... This No. [-] and No. [-] are crew members who have strong dissatisfaction with me. Organizer and mastermind of the rebellion plan."

"Give you a chance to say your last words before you die: Why are you resisting me? Is life so unhappy?"

Probably because they knew that they would die, neither of them wasted much time talking, they just put on the attitude of "If you want to kill or cut, you will do as you please".

"It's not good to be so inconsistent." Tsukimiya Suzuna said with a smile, "Haven't you heard the allusion of 'people are knives and I'm fish'? It's already lying on the chopping board, and it's still showing a rigid look." Do you really think there is nothing I can do about you?"

The shadow figure of Warrior Ji broke away from the shadow on the soles of her feet, and then extended two handles from the position of both hands, stabbing fiercely into the abdomen of the two of them.

The victim's expression contorted for an instant, but soon turned into uncontrollable spasms and convulsions.

The moment the shadow blade pierced into the abdomen, it not only quickly locked the bleeding wound, but also continuously extended small shadow branches to cut more visceral nerves, causing greater pain to the victim.

Although the two could not make a sound, they soon started sweating, rolling their eyes, and spitting water.Even if there was no further explanation, the crew could see that they had been subjected to unbearable torture, and all of them immediately trembled like quails, trembled like small animals, and dared not even breathe out.

"No. [-] and No. [-] are members of the engineering department." Tsukimiya Suzuna turned a blind eye to the tragedy of the two, but continued to introduce, "I was caught on the spot tampering with the oxygen generator module and planting a remote-controlled bomb. If you can't defeat me, you will threaten my goal with 'perish with the entire spaceship'."

"No. [-] and No. [-], in the corridor leading to the bridge, attempted to tamper with the code of the security system. It seemed that they didn't have the guts to confront me head-on, so they planned to use the hidden machine gun tower to attack me."

The crew all showed expressions of righteous indignation. After all, these four people tried to sabotage the spaceship. Although it was to resist the boss, it also threatened their lives.

"Do you four have anything to say?" Tsukimiya Suzuna said with a smile, "The quality of your answer determines whether you will be happy or die miserably after endless torture?"

The tragic situation of the two bosses next to them was vivid, and the four confessed happily.

It was nothing more than being unable to recognize the situation clearly, thinking that there was a chance to turn things around, and having drank a little wine at the time, he joined the gang in a moment of enthusiasm, and made the decision to seek his own death.

Tsukimiya Suzuna kept her word and asked the Shadow Warrior to quickly behead the four of them. Then she put away her sweet smile and looked at all the crew members quietly.

Wherever her gaze swept over, everyone shyly looked away, not daring to meet her gaze.

"Although I'm a girl, I won't make trouble for no reason and play silly tricks that test people's hearts." Tsukimiya Suzuna said solemnly, "I should give enough money; work, I didn't make any excessive demands, right?" ? I just want you to follow the route I gave you.”

"If anyone of you still wants to rebel, just stand up and let's just kill one."

"As for this sneaky trick? It seems to be really useful... It's not a delusion to make me laugh."

"What a waste of time. It's early in the morning, and I can't catch up on my beauty sleep. Come here to deal with this kind of thing."

She complained in disappointment and dissatisfaction, then turned her head and ordered:

"Jindao, arrange for someone to dispose of these four corpses, and wash the blood on the floor so that there is no peculiar smell."

"Iron ring, guard these two unlucky bastards and see how long they can last."

"Big Sister." Tie Huan immediately asked for instructions, "Then the guard at the door of your cabin..."

"You don't need to stand guard." Tsukimiya Suzuna said lightly, her eyes swept over the crew members again, "If anyone is confident enough to attack and kill me while I'm sleeping, I can only say that you are welcome at any time. .”

"By the way, try to find as many people who want to rebel as possible, so I can save some effort and solve them together."

After Tsukimiya Suzuna left, the crew members looked at each other, each other's faces were full of fear and shock.

------

Chen Ziang returned home.

The unemployed miners are still gathered in the lobby on the first floor of the Dijing Building, and the witch behind her has not yet confirmed her true identity and exact location.

However, since the other party asks him to persuade Xia Qingyu, he probably won't take drastic actions in the short term... Unless Dijing Group or some people above are really stupid and do something to stimulate them, then Chen Ziang is really It cannot be saved.

But Xia Qingyu hasn't come back yet.

So now there are two paths to choose from:

One is to continue to investigate the identity of the witch and locate her according to the original plan agreed with the Department of Public Security. However, after the two have reached a preliminary negotiation result, doing so is likely to irritate the other party.

And even if you find it, what can you do?If you use force, even if you can kill the opponent, you still have to deal with the corresponding development of the kingdom of God; if you negotiate... it will return to the issue of mining ships.

The second is to discuss with her how to deal with Xia Qingyu when she comes back.

Chen Ziang weighed for a long time, and finally decided to choose the latter.

Compared with "putting the work until tomorrow", "push the work to others" is a more reasonable approach, and in the end he doesn't have the right or qualification to negotiate with the witch alone, so it's better to let Xia Qingyu decide how to do it.

By the way, what are you having for dinner?
