The Witch's Taste

Calm and composed, even when he was talking about "parents died of poisoning" and "killed his younger brother with his own hands", although he paused for a while, his voice did not choke or tremble.

Didn't she feel pain?Certainly not, otherwise she wouldn't be a witch.

In other words, Mizuhara Saori was forcibly suppressing the pain in her heart, to the point where she could not hear the sound fluctuations at all, because she knew that it would be useless to vent her emotions wantonly-she didn't want to take revenge on anyone, but just wanted to save the whole world. unemployed miners.

But the more the pain cannot be vented, the more it will gnaw at her heart from the inside. While gaining her more powerful power, it will also twist her mind to an even more abnormal level.

This kind of repression...may make Mizuhara Saori a witch who is more difficult to deal with than Nishikawa Mie and Takano Seiko.

Let's see if we can communicate.If the problem could be resolved peacefully, Chen Ziang would not have to put the other party to death just to forcefully earn the 2200 merit points.

Before leaving Drowning Hailin, Hanna also cast a spell on Chen Ziang's shadow cloak, so that as long as she sinks into the water and meditates on "Drowning Hailin" at the same time, she can be teleported to this place.

After bidding farewell to the priest of the living dead, Chen Ziang quickly returned to the present world. First, his head burst out of the water, then his upper body, and finally he crawled out of the bathtub filled with cold water.

It felt good to breathe the air again...much better than being naked in the water and being watched by a bunch of the living dead.

Ok?

He suddenly turned around, and saw the wide-eyed Xia Zili standing in front of the sink, maintaining a posture of about to take off his shirt.

Next to it is the women's change of clothes, which seem to be new items that have not been worn.She was not at home when she went out just now, she presumably went shopping for clothes.

Chen Ziang: ……………

Xia Zili: ……………

"That." The blond half-elf with a flushed face covered his eyes and turned around, stammering to explain, "I saw that there was no one in the bathroom, and there was still water in the bathtub, so I thought you put it for me. bath water, so I was ready to take a shower... I locked the door from the back, I really locked the door!"

"It's okay." Chen Ziang quickly picked up the towel on the shelf, wrapped it around his waist, "I just...well, something happened, in the bathtub...it's not your fault, I went out first."

He felt that the description was getting darker and darker, so he didn't make any more excuses, and quickly unlocked the door and fled.

Thinking about it carefully, Xia Zili was really not to blame for this matter. He came in and saw that no one was there, and even locked the bathroom door behind him. Who would have thought that a man would suddenly emerge from the bathtub?

But if it's my fault, it's not necessarily... I can only blame Drowning Hailin's call for coming too suddenly, it's all the fault of the living dead!

Hannah, you are so mean!

In the bathroom, Xia Zili locked the door again, and then took off her clothes with a rustle.

There was still a shy blush on her face, but her expression had obviously calmed down.

Cough, it's just...it's just my husband's body!In those post-marriage memories, I've seen a lot!

(This is a lie, she has never seen it)

The phantom of the mother sat on the chair next to her, and she didn't try to expose her stubbornness, but said quietly:

"Haven't you made up your mind yet?"

Xia Zili was silent for a long time, and said:

"Let me think again, mother."

She took off all her clothes, then stretched out her jade-like feet to test the water temperature in the bathtub.

Then slowly soaked in.

As the memory was gradually unlocked, she also vaguely realized why she had such hostility towards Tsukimiya Suzuna.

In fact, for most of the memory, the two have been very good girlfriends.

The pure and kind Xia Zili has always regarded this sweet-looking island girl as her husband's colleague and junior at work, and has never felt any fear or guard against her...the two even often go shopping together.

She would complain about her husband's embarrassing things in life, and Tsukimiya Suzuna would also share with her what Chen Ziang encountered at work, such as going to work overtime or going to an izakaya.

After all, her husband is engaged in a high-risk industry. If there is an extra source of information around her, she will feel more at ease at home after all.

It wasn't until Tsukimiya Suzuna personally admitted that she had betrayed her that the two of them had officially turned from a friend who talked about everything to an indifferent relationship with a complete break.

Xia Zili in the bathtub silently buried her face below the water surface.

Now she and Chen Ziang are not husband and wife, not even a couple, so she still can't convince herself to obey her mother's words and directly solve the root cause of Yuegong Suzuna's problem.

but……

If the husband is going to be snatched away by her...

She silently buried her head in the bath water until she was out of breath.

190. Chapter 189 Predicting the Situation

Xia Qingyu still didn't reply, so he probably hasn't returned to Gao Tianyuan yet.

To be honest, Chen Ziang was not optimistic about Suwon Saori's plan.

She may have the power of a witch and can easily control ordinary people mentally, but how can a giant elf chaebol like the Bakht Group have no defense at all?

Take the Klublef family, for example, who have a special unit of occultists known as the Immortals.With five or six spirits stuck in the embassy room, they would be able to overwhelm himself and Xia Qingyu, who could only protect themselves and had no time to fight back.

A mining ship as big as the Bacht Group, will there be no armed forces on it?Being manipulated by your mind, you will all be brainwashed?

He felt that it was unlikely that witches were not exclusive to the High Tianyuan star region, and it was impossible that the Federation's elf consortium had never dealt with witches.

But it seems that this is not easy to confess to Saori Mizuhara, because "saving the unemployed miners" is her obsession as a witch, and it is the anchor that fixes her in this world.

If such an anchor is shattered, it is really hard to predict what she will do in desperation.

Therefore, in the absence of Xia Qingyu's return, it seemed that he could only hold her back for a while, and try his best to cooperate with her request instead of provoking her...

The more Chen Ziang thought about it, the more irritable he became. When Xia Zili came out of the bathroom, he asked directly:

"Xia Zili, when does your sister usually come back after leaving for the Chinese New Year?"

Xia Zili was still thinking about Yuegong Suzuna, she was startled for a long time when she heard this, and then replied:

"Usually come back during the Lantern Festival."

Lantern Festival, that is, back in two weeks...

Chen Ziang had a headache.

So many unemployed miners must last for less than two weeks!

To be honest, it is not surprising that there will be turmoil even tomorrow.

In the history of Extreme North City, almost every major layoff of Dijing Group will cause a large number of unemployed miners to come to Extreme North City to protest.

Theoretically speaking, it would take a certain amount of time to arrive at Extreme North City from a remote mining town, even if you drive by yourself, so as long as Dijing Group can communicate with Extreme North City in advance, these unemployed miners can be stopped outside Extreme North City.

However, if the government and enterprises communicate in advance, Jibei City will inevitably ask Dijing Group not to lay off employees, which is unacceptable to Dijing Group.

The game confrontation between government and enterprises is greater than cooperation, and they all want to push the problem to the other party to solve it. This is also one of the reasons why the problem of unemployed miners in the past has not been properly handled.

Also referring to historical cases, large-scale riots caused by unemployed miners often have only two directions in the end:

First, the miners couldn’t stand it anymore. Most of them chose to go home to find their own way of life. Some diehards stayed here and finally left after receiving compensation from the government or Dijing Group.

Second, unrest broke out among the miners, which was then suppressed by force.Most people were forced to go home to find their own way of life, some radicals were arrested and imprisoned, and some diehards continued to suffer, and finally left after receiving compensation from the government or Dijing Group.

From the ending point of view, only the diehards can get the benefits in the end.The reason is not to allocate according to the noise, but another very simple principle:

There are fewer diehards.

There are few people, even if everyone pays high compensation, the total amount will not be too large, and can be easily paid... So in the final analysis, it is still a matter of cost.

Chen Ziang continued to swipe his phone, the news from the working group within the system was more timely than the TV news.

The current situation is not good: although the people are not concentrated in the Dijing Group headquarters, but scattered in the company and factory parks of the Dijing Group in Shinjuku, Mikawa, Ping An and Sakaguchi, these four regions, but because the number of people is too large There are many, so almost every district has hidden dangers of causing unrest.

For example, if there are 400 criminals who are evenly distributed in four shopping streets, then all four places will suffer; It is contrary to the historical experience of “gathering together” but it is not difficult to understand after careful consideration.

Some experts have suggested that traffic control should be relaxed, so that unemployed miners can be concentrated in one district from four districts, so that they can be controlled and dealt with in a unified manner.

The question is, which area to focus on?

Will the Shinjuku District Council agree to concentrate all of them in Shinjuku City?It would be nice if I didn't fight you to death!

"How's the situation outside now?" Xia Zili sat down beside him.

"It's not that good." Chen Ziang said with a sigh, "They're all playing football, pushing things around."

"Oh." Xia Zili was also a little sad, "Then what can we do?"

"There is nothing we can do at the moment." Chen Ziang replied, "We have to wait for Xia Qingyu to come back first."

"Should I let my sister handle it?" Xia Zili was silent for a moment, and her eyes lit up, "Yes, my sister must have a way!"

"Is there any way you can notify her?" Chen Ziang asked subconsciously, but soon laughed again.

What am I asking?No one is in the Gaotianyuan star region, Xia Zili can still cross the long cosmic astronomical distance, can't she contact her sister?

"I can't help it." Xia Zili shook her head and said, "But Sister Izumo should be able to. She has a special communication channel with her sister, which seems to be a secret technical line from the empire."

Yuki Izumo?Chen Ziang woke up like a dream.

This is Xia Qingyu's retainer, if Gao Tianyuan had any emergency, she would definitely notify Xia Qingyu to come back to rescue him.

So Chen Ziang hurriedly called Yuuki Izumo:

"It's me, Chen Ziang. Yucheng, do you have a way to contact Xia Qingyu?"

"Why did you contact Miss?" Yuuki Izumo asked on the other side of the phone, "The current situation has not reached the point where Miss needs to take action."

"Today I checked in the Dijing Building, and I have confirmed that the leader behind the unemployed miners is a witch." Chen Ziang said succinctly, "The other party asked me for cooperation. This matter needs Xia Qingyu to decide, but I can't contact her at present. .”

"I'll notify Miss right away." Yuuki Izumo immediately realized the seriousness of the matter, and quickly hung up the phone.

Sure enough, she was able to contact Xia Qingyu!

The big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, Chen Ziang was overjoyed, and excitedly said to Xia Zili:

"Zili, you are really my lucky star! Why didn't I think of this?"

"You're welcome." Xia Zili said with a smile, "But if it's convenient, can you tell me about that witch?"

Chen Ziang was a little hesitant, because the news about the witch belonged to the mysterious world, and it was not easy to disclose it to outsiders.

But is Xia Zili an outsider?

After all, she is Xia Qingyu's younger sister. Even if something happened, her dear sister would help her out. In addition, Chen Ziang had a strange inspiration. He felt that if he told Xia Zili about the matter, maybe she could help him. busy.

"Don't say it." Chen Ziang said with a sigh, "Behind the group of unemployed miners, there is a witch organizing them."

He roughly explained "what is a witch" and "the corresponding demands of a witch" to Xia Zili.

Xia Zili listened with a sad expression, sighed and said:

"Do you want to save the unemployed miners? Her intentions are good, but I don't think it is very likely to succeed in the plan to capture the Bacht mining ship."

"The Bacht family's main business is the development of energy and mineral resources, and they have a long-term alliance with Klublef, who monopolizes the federal manufacturing industry. Most of the Klublef family's security equipment, the Bacht family will not lack. "

"I don't know the power balance in the mysterious world...but if the witches you mentioned can use mysterious means to break through the security technology of the Bakht family, then the Rhine Alliance must have hired these witches to deal with Klublef and Bakht. alliance."

Sure enough, Chen Ziang sighed inwardly.

For a federal enterprise with a long history like Bacht, most of the external attack methods must have been seen.

Is it possible for Mizuhara Saori's plan to work?

191. Chapter 190 Leaving the father and leaving the daughter

Vaguely, memories flooded in again like a tide.

Not those "future" memories, but from her past.

Xia Qingyu had never seen his father since he had memories.

According to the mother who raised her, her father was a certain high-ranking prince whose pure and noble blood was not something that a distant branch of the lineage like her mother could reach.

The Xia clan's royal family basically only valued two things: bloodline and ability.

In essence, although the latter is valued, ability usually lacks a quick measurement standard, so the first impression will be judged based on blood, that is, the distance between you and the current emperor's relatives.

The reason is: the gene optimization and genetic screening of the royal family is only aimed at the direct children of successive emperors, and they are operated on when they are in the embryonic stage.

Then compete, the strongest prince will become the emperor, and his sons and daughters will continue to be genetically optimized.As for the brothers and sisters who were eliminated, they were included in the royal family lineage, and the Zongzheng government uniformly arranged internal intermarriage and reproduction.

Although the internal intermarriage of members of the royal family can ensure that external inferior genes will not be mixed in, they are only arranged in pairs with each other, which is definitely not as good as the emperor's line that is optimized and changed.
