The Witch's Taste

It is not difficult to wake up a sleeping person, but it is difficult to wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep.

The two girls insisted that "there was no conflict" and "they were just discussing the facts", and Chen Ziang couldn't provide any evidence to say, "You are just arguing", so he could only quickly interrupt and say:

"Whether it's holding hands or holding back, it's the business to run to the divinity! There's no time to discuss which is more appropriate!"

"That's right." Xia Zili said with a smile, "Suzuna, do you have any objections?"

Naturally, Suzuna Yuegong would not pick up the quarrel, otherwise it would be as if she was deliberately confronting Chen Ziang, so she just replied:

"Of course I listen to the seniors."

The three continued on.As the distance from the crystal cluster mountain gets closer, the frequency of crystal cluster spurs becomes faster and faster.Yue Gong Suzuna had no time to intrigue with Xia Zili, but manipulated the shadows to keep changing, cutting off clusters of crystal veins in the soil layer.

The ground suddenly shook, and countless crystal monsters suddenly rushed down from the crystal cluster mountain range in front of them.

Some of them have two legs, some have four legs or even five legs, and their appearance is also strange and hideous.Chen Ziang just looked at it, and immediately felt a creepy feeling, as if thousands of worms were wriggling crazily under the skin, about to break through the skin and come out of the body.

"There is something wrong with these monsters!" Tsukimiya Suzuna reminded, "You can't look directly at these monsters!"

Chen Ziang quickly closed his eyes, but his heart skipped a beat.

Can not look?Then how do you fight?Blindfolded and killed in the past?

If he closes his eyes here, Xia Zili and Yuegong Suzuna will be much easier to deal with.

The former grabbed Chen Ziang's right hand to guide him, and raised his other hand to shoulder height. There was a hole in the white palm, and a large number of green rotten insects spit out from it, killing them silently into the distance.

The latter also opened its cherry mouth, and blew lightly forward, and immediately a turbid hurricane of sick color suddenly emerged from the flat ground, and it also swept towards the beast tide with vigor.

The level and power of these powers have far exceeded the capabilities of ordinary "high spirit vision people".If it is used in the extreme north city circle, it can easily cause huge loss of life and property, but Chen Ziang closed his eyes at this time, and they deliberately restrained their strength, so they were not noticed by anyone, and killed those crystallized beasts Step back.

Finally reaching the bottom of the crystal mountain range, Xia Zili shattered it with a punch, pierced through an irregularly shaped passage, and then took the lead in drilling in.

Yuegong Lingna pushed Chen Ziang into the cave, and at the same time quickly reminded:

"You can open your eyes, senior."

Chen Ziang opened his eyes, and Xia Zili let go of the hand guiding him. The expression on his face didn't change, he just said:

"It should be 200 meters ahead, I'll continue to open the way, you follow me."

She closed her eyes to sense for a moment, then selected a direction, and began to slam forward with all her strength, forcibly opening a channel inside the crystal.

Chen Ziang hurriedly followed, while silently counting the steps in his head.

About seventy or eighty steps away, Xia Zili in front of her suddenly disappeared.

gone?

Chen Ziang turned his head, and Yuegong Lingna, who was always following behind him, was gone.

The sudden disappearance of the two made him feel a little uneasy, but it was just uneasy - after all, before this, he had been on duty alone, and he had long been used to dealing with changes without support.

There is no need to look for them right now, as long as the Kingdom of God can be prevented from unfolding, all dangers will be resolved!

He closed his eyes, opened his own inspiration silently, and quickly chose a "most dangerous direction in his intuition".

Then summon the cold sickle and try to cut the crystal wall.

The cutting effect was poor, and the sickle hit the crystal wall, but a lot of sparks popped out.Obviously, the death sickle specially used for "hunting life" has no special effect on this non-life metal.

Chen Ziang thought for a moment, and then drew out the Mandala magic sword again. This time, it was like a hot knife cutting ice, and quickly cut and melted the crystal blocking the way in front of him.

Maybe these metal-like crystals are actually a weird kind, within the killing range of the Mandala Sword.

Just digging forward like a miner, I don't know how long it took, and finally excavated the central cave where the divinity is.

Here is a dome with a sharp inner cavity, with a diameter of about five meters and a height of tens of meters.

There is nothing else in the cave, only a half-kneeling statue. Judging from the carving style, it seems to be a woman, with her hands covering her chest, and her expression seems to be enduring great pain and torture.

Chen Ziang lowered his eyes and looked at her face carefully.

That's right, it's Suwon Saori.

But it should only be similar in appearance, because Mizuhara Saori's "humanity" was wounded and died before the kingdom of God unfolded.

……

Wait, is that really the case?

Looking at Mizuhara Saori's sad and begging expression, Chen Ziang, who felt compassion, suddenly realized: kill humanity, and the Kingdom of God unfolds; kill divinity, and the Kingdom of God falls... These are not facts that have been verified for a long time, but just Information heard from others.

What if not quite right?Maybe there are exceptions?For example, what if this statue of Saori Mizuhara is actually her consciousness of humanity?

Then when I stabbed with this sword, I was killing an innocent person.

If it was Chen Ziang from before, he might have to hesitate for a long time at this time.But now he just hesitated for a moment, and soon made up his mind.

Just like the truth I learned from Xia Qingyu before: people will have many things they want in this life, but when the reality does not allow both, they must not "have both", but should decisively choose the right one. The more important one.

Between "possibly killing Mizuhara Saori by mistake" and "protecting Tsukimiya Suzuna, Xia Zili, and saving Jibei City", he will definitely only choose the latter!

Thinking of this, the mandala sword was raised high, and then it pierced Mizuhara Saori's chest neatly.

Her body gradually cracked, and the cracks spread all over the body like a spider web, and then spread to the entire surrounding cave, and finally the entire crystal cluster mountain was crumbling, falling into a dangerous state that was about to collapse.

………………

Chen Ziang suddenly woke up from his dizziness.

He saw himself lying on a mobile bed being pushed in the direction of the ambulance.

Under the night not far ahead, a huge flame rose in the direction of the Sakaguchi Industrial Museum. Five or six fire trucks were parked near the museum, and high-pressure water jets sprayed violently towards the interior of the building.

"Wait, you can't get up!" Regardless of the medical staff's obstruction, Chen Ziang jumped off the mobile hospital bed and quickly looked around.

"Where are those two people?" He asked quickly.

"Ah?" The medical staff looked confused, obviously not knowing who the "those two people" were.

Chen Ziang also immediately realized that he didn't ask clearly enough, and quickly described in detail:

"A girl about 1.6 meters tall, with highlighted brown hair, dressed in exquisite fashion, with a sweet smile; the other is blonde..."

"They're all fine." Xia Qingyu's voice next to him interrupted him.

Wearing a coat, this tall beauty appeared indifferently behind Chen Ziang, staring at the blazing flames of the Sakaguchi Museum, but there was still no warmth in her eyes—those dark eyes seemed to be able to absorb all ambient light .

Seeing Xia Qingyu arrive here, Chen Ziang subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

In any case, Suzuna and Zili are fine.

But he quickly thought about Suwon Saori, and said with a sneer:

"Leader, can I trouble you to explain? What does it mean 'she must die in front of me'?"

Xia Qingyu said indifferently:

"I have nothing to explain. Besides. . . it's no harm to you, is it?"

In the next second, Chen Ziang grabbed her by the collar, and she was lifted abruptly.

"Xia Qingyu." Chen Ziang suppressed his anger, "Can you do something with me?"

"Don't treat everyone around you as pawns! In order to achieve your so-called goal, go to wanton deception, calculation, and even sacrifice without mercy!"

"Otherwise, sooner or later, you will become a complete loner! Do you understand? No one will care about you!"

"Chen Ziang, what are you doing!" Yuuki Izumo's roar came from afar.Xia Qingyu's loyal retainer had already rushed forward, approaching him in an instant, and punched him in the chest.

Chen Ziang was still holding Xia Qingyu in his right hand, and swiped vigorously with his left hand without looking at it. A huge black mist sickle emerged, and Yuki Izumo hurriedly stopped and retreated, otherwise he would be cut in two on the spot.

When she stabilized her figure again, she saw that Chen Ziang had let go and put Xia Qingyu down.

"This time I was impulsive." He picked up the clothes next to the hospital bed and put them on indifferently. "I violated the unit's regulations and took action against my boss. Whether you deduct salary, suspend or fire, it's up to you."

He left without looking back.

Xia Qingyu looked at his back, straightened his collar silently with his right hand, without any smile on his face.

"Lonely..." She whispered to herself with no expression on her face, and then closed her eyes.

237. Chapter 236 Tsukimiya Suzuna’s Refreshing Magic

Chen Ziang sat silently in the taxi, looking at the night and lights outside.

Everything he experienced today still weighed heavily on his heart, making his mood unable to get better.

Of the three witches who died in front of her, Mie Nishikawa was a complete saboteur, and Seiko Takano was a selective murder, but Saori Mizuhara...she neither killed nor set fire, and the group of unemployed miners was a time bomb. Collective crimes are not to be blamed on a particular individual.

also died...

They are all dead.

Say something to try to save them, but in the end none of them can be saved...

Chen Ziang lay back on the back of the taxi, looking out of the window with a lonely gaze.

He remembered the case that his old colleague Lu Yunfeng had dealt with before. Because he failed to rescue a victim couple in time, their daughter became an orphan. Therefore, he would regularly visit the little girl in the orphanage and provide financial support for the orphanage. Just to make her life better.

This matter is incomprehensible to many colleagues in the Public Security Department. After all, no one can be 100% perfect in the case handling process, and death and injury cannot be completely avoided.

If the family members of every victim want to be appeased like Lu Yunfeng, then no one will be a security officer in the future, but a psychiatrist instead!

Chen Ziang could understand Lu Yunfeng, he was not saving others, but himself.

But what can I do?

He looked out the window speechlessly, when the phone on his lap suddenly vibrated.

[Yutu refuses to admit defeat]: Senior, are you okay?

[Yutu refuses to admit defeat]: I wanted to come to you just now, but I heard you went back early?

[Good at singing]: Are you okay?

[Good at singing]: [Video call - not connected].

Looking at the messages on the phone, Chen Ziang slowly closed his eyes, feeling as if part of the block in his heart had disappeared.

........................

Saori Mizuhara fell into darkness.

Endless darkness.

There was indeed pain and despair in her heart, but more of it was serenity and relief.

I'm going to die...

Those unfinished things, those burdens... have nothing to do with me.

Father, mother, brother, here I come...

After her consciousness stabilized again and her vision returned to normal, she realized that she was in a huge library.

Judging from the wood sections of the wall lines, beams, and bookshelves, it seems to be a rather elegant residence, but the strange thing is that there are no doors, windows, or any external passages in the room, only four huge, towering bookshelves. Full of all kinds of books.

Ornate chandeliers hang from the ceiling, and underfoot is a soft knitted carpet embroidered with gorgeous patterns of mandala flowers.

There are rocking chairs and soft cushions in the corner, and two women are lying on the rocking chairs, slowly reading the books in their hands.

"This is..." Suyuan Saori asked tentatively, "Where is it?"

The two women didn't answer, and the one on the left just sneered, obviously disdainful to answer her questions.

The woman on the right was silent for a moment, and said:

"The bookshelf on your right, the top row, read, understand, and memorize in order from left to right."

"What do you mean?" Saori Mizuhara still didn't understand.

"There is no time to waste, hurry up and study." The woman lowered her head and continued to read the pages in her hand, "If you still haven't finished reading before He arrives next time..."

"...you will suffer."

------

When Chen Ziang returned home, he took off the mandala magic sword and put it beside the sofa.

It was already midnight, and Xiao Zhu had already fallen asleep before.He sat alone on the sofa, but he didn't feel sleepy.
