The Witch's Taste

"But." Xia Zili asked puzzledly, "Why do you have to run? Couldn't it prevent the tragedy from happening and save everyone?"

"How?" Xia Qingyu raised her eyebrows.

"To prevent the Bakht mining ship from entering, the Democratic Pioneer Party cannot be allowed to take power." Xia Zili sorted out the memories from her previous life, and tried to analyze, "Because even if the British Party loses in the competition for the Star Governor However, a large amount of political resources are still in the hands of Shi, Qin, and Song. Therefore, if the Democratic First Party wants not to be emptied after it takes power, it will inevitably seek foreign support from the Federation. Naturally, it can only obey the elves' demands. "

"That is to say, to allow the British Party to win the next general election."

"That's right." Xia Qingyu affirmed her judgment, "How do I do it?"

"Behind the defeat of the Guoying Party is the Federation's intervention in Gao Tianyuan's public opinion." Xia Zili replied, "The main public opinion points are as follows."

"First, Dijing Group's large-scale layoffs led to the gathering of unemployed miners, and the government finally used force to suppress it, which affected the perception of urban blue-collar workers. This group of people is mainly low-income people engaged in manual labor, and their jobs change quickly. Unstable, the most sensitive to labor security, and the group most opposed to government-enterprise alliances.”

"Second, Yui Miyamoto's dog was brutally killed, but the murderer was not severely punished, causing some urban white-collar workers and student classes to be disappointed with the government. These people have a stable source of income, most of them have no worries about food and clothing, and usually do not have firm political views. Sometimes it is purely based on personal impressions, and it is also the swing group that is most likely to change camps."

"Third, Miwa Fujiwara, the wife of British Party member Qin Zhenglan, accused her husband of domestic violence. The government tried to mediate and get Miwa Fujiwara to stop the complaint, but she failed in the end and was exposed by her on the Internet, which caused the British Party to lose a large number of female voters. "

"The things you mentioned are all things that have already happened and are basically irreversible." Xia Qingyu said indifferently, "And these three incidents only narrowed the gap in support between the DPP and the British Party, and did not make the DPP The First Party has truly turned defeat into victory."

"So." Xia Zili was silent for a moment, then replied, "They finally chose to behead."

"What decapitation?" Xia Qingyu asked with raised eyebrows.

"Assassinate Governor Shi Di." Xia Zili said in a low voice, "On July 7th, before the election in Shinjuku District, an unemployed mental patient was mobilized on the spot, and he was shot in the left lung."

Xia Qingyu looked at her sister quietly, and had roughly confirmed how many memories she had recovered.

"Most of the prestige of the British Party is concentrated on Governor Shi Di himself." Xia Zili spoke quickly, "As long as Shi Di is not dead, no matter how much the Democratic Pioneer Party and the Federation stir up the wind and rain, it will be difficult to shake it. Shi Di's ticket warehouse iron plate."

"So, to save Gao Tianyuan, we must first ensure that Shi Di is not dead."

"Secondly, in this Fujiwara Miwa incident, try to reverse the offensive of public opinion, so that the DPP has no chance to narrow the gap in support."

"As long as Shi Di can win the election in the end, Bakht will not continue to park the ship in Gaotianyuan for another 4 years until the next round of the governor's election, right? As far as I know, every day a starship of this tonnage is parked , the consumed energy, sustaining materials, and loss costs are all astronomical..."

"It's useless." Xia Qingyu interrupted her.

"...What, mean?" Xia Zili asked blankly.

"It doesn't matter what happened to Miwa Fujiwara, whether Shi Di lives or dies in the end, it doesn't matter." Xia Qingyu said flatly, "It's all the same."

"Zili, you are going to hold a concert in Zhongnan City the day after tomorrow, so you should focus on your acting career."

"You don't have to worry too much about political matters."

Xia Zili stared blankly at her sister's side face, feeling as if her heart had fallen from heaven to hell, and the blood that was originally flowing hot in her chest was slowly stilling and cooling down.

"...Okay." She lowered her head after a while and said softly.

However, in her ears, a mother's bewitching whisper sounded:

"Is it really useless?"

"My sister already said that." Xia Zili said bitterly, "What else can I do?"

"Maybe it's just because she doesn't want Gao Tianyuan to be saved." There was a strange smile on the mother's face, as if the devil had seduced the little girl, "After all, as long as Gao Tianyuan really falls into the fire hell, then the human beings who escape here alive by boat The refugees, after certain propaganda methods and brainwashing, must regard Xia Qingyu as their savior and king."

"Sister is not that kind of person..." Xia Zili said in a low voice, but her voice soon wavered.

In the memory of the previous life, there are actually not many parts about the part after the destruction of Gao Tianyuan, but she can vaguely detect it:

... Later, I and my sister seemed to be...

... broke.

------

The next morning.

Chen Ziang woke up, changed his clothes, washed and went downstairs to cook for his sister.

The living room was quiet, there was no noise, and there was no trace of smashing things. It seemed that last night ended peacefully and nothing happened.

so good.

To be honest, Chen Ziang is not someone who wants to escape when encountering difficulties. The main reason is that it was already early in the morning last night, and he just experienced the Suwon Saori incident.

To be on the safe side, ask them how they were doing last night.

While flipping the poached eggs in a frying pan, Chen Ziang sent a message to the three of them asking.

Xia Qingyu didn't reply as usual, whether she didn't see it or ignored it; Yuegong Suzuna's message came in an instant, and Xia Zili was delayed by about half a minute.

[Yutu refuses to admit defeat]: No, we chatted for a while, Uncle Weimen drove to the door, and I left.

[Good at singing]: I'm sorry, my sister actually has no other intentions, she is mainly worried about my safety.

Chen Zi'ang confirmed that there was indeed no fight last night, and finally secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and chatted with the two of them for a while to end.

After taking care of his sister and having breakfast, he went out to work.

The light rail car was still full of people. I don’t know if it was because it was Friday. Everyone seemed to be full of energy, not as listless as Monday.

When I got off at the station and just left the light rail car, I saw a few young ladies holding leaflets, appealing to the passengers who got off the car to help sign.

Chen Ziang glanced at it casually, and the content seemed to be "against domestic violence".

You don't need to look at it to know, it must be that the Fujiwara Miwa incident yesterday has fermented from the Internet, and now it is beginning to have an influence offline.

When it comes to domestic violence, normal people are of course against it.However, it seems too much to make a fuss by signing a petition to put pressure on the government because of other people’s domestic violence incidents. Therefore, most office workers did not stop and leave their names. The staff attracted them and asked them to leave here quickly and not to disturb public order.

Chen Ziang stopped to look at it for a while, and suddenly felt something was wrong.

242.Chapter 241 Poison Oath

When he came to the Intelligence Bureau, Chen Ziang mentioned this matter to Yuegong Suzuna:

"... At that time, my inspiration noticed some problems, but I couldn't tell what was wrong specifically, and it only disappeared in a flash, so that I thought it was some kind of illusion."

"But this situation, according to mystic experience..." Suzuna Tsukimiya said thoughtfully, "The more it looks like an illusion, the less likely it is an illusion, right?"

"Yes." Chen Ziang said with a sigh, "So just to be on the safe side, I wanted to check with them, but by the time I realized it, they had already been dispersed by the subway security guards."

"Yeah." Suzuna Tsukimiya pondered for a moment, "Leave it to me to investigate. I'll ask Izumo Yuuki."

After handing over the matter to Suzuna Yuegong, Chen Ziang was finally able to spare time to do the real "business".

Receive rewards for completing war missions.

After beheading "Water Source Saori", 2200 points of fire from the nest of the drowned have already arrived.

For the original Chen Ziang, 2200 fire seeds was a huge sum of money, after all, killing a ghoul only cost 3 fire seeds.But now, with the continuous expansion of the power pool, these thousands of fire seeds feel a bit stretched... You know, even if you summon a living dead to help with work, you need to pay more than 100 fire seeds!

Not to mention that he still has a life-saving key sealed item such as the blood-stained pin in his hand, and the cost of locking the injury is also high.The last time I tried it when I was fighting the Immortals at the Federation Embassy, ​​it cost about 20 points per second, which means that the 2200 points of fire can only maintain blood locks for less than 2 minutes...

Poor, I am so poor!

Silently turning on the power of dream walking, Chen Ziang arrived at the ancient city of Enrank first, and entered the temple where the altar of chaos was located.

The redemption list has not changed: [Profane Witchcraft] 50 points, [Avatar with Thousand Faces] 50 points, [Fear Night Demon] 500 points, and rank [Sacrifice] upgrade by 1000 points.

From the exchange price alone, one can know that the strongest power here is [Fear Night Demon]. However, it is said that after the Night Demon is summoned, it is difficult to control whether it is friend or foe, so Chen Ziang is still hesitating.

He turned his head and continued to activate his power, and went to the drowned Hailin of the living dead, and the city of Zubasa in the dying state.

For the Altar of Chaos in Drowned Sea Forest, the exchange list is exactly the same as that in the ancient city of Enrank.In other words, all city altars in the same faction share the same redemption list.

As for the altar of flesh and blood on the city of Zubasa, the three powers are [Scythe of Yin and Cold] 1000 points, [Plague Walker] 500 points, [Pan God's Name] 200 points, and the military rank [Lamb] is promoted by 100 points.

Considering that after the military rank is upgraded, there will be more powers that can be exchanged, Chen Ziang simply raised the rank of the flesh and blood camp first.

Perhaps the newly released powers have the ability to help my sister and solve her illness?

As the idea of ​​upgrading fell, the list of capabilities quickly became blurred.

When Chen Ziang stepped out of the underground altar, he saw the ghoul priest, Sarah Hek, walking out of the city gate corridor with a scepter in his hand.

"Brilliant victory! Your Excellency." Although wearing an exquisite hollowed-out skull mask, Sarah Hek's voice was beaming, with an undisguised smile, "I heard that you killed the witch of the Crystal of Wisdom ?”

"Uh..." Before Chen Ziang could decide how to respond, Sarah Hek had already walked beside him, and said enthusiastically, "The gods of the mist camp are freaks, if they are still planting chess pieces in the lower world , the vast majority of flesh-and-blood races will suffer greatly from it.”

"From this point of view, you have made great contributions to the flesh and blood camp, and my lord is very satisfied with your performance. It is a pity that the mother goddess has not targeted the fog camp now, and there is no corresponding war mission Otherwise, my lord will definitely reward you heavily."

Chen Ziang heard him talking about a lot of things, but the result was "no reward"... He was too lazy to continue talking nonsense with this ghoul, and interrupted him with a wave of his hand:

"Forget about the past, is there any war mission here?"

"The task of killing witches is gone." Sarah Hek replied, "Witches are not commonplace goods that can be seen everywhere. They can only be born in a world that is about to fall into turmoil and destruction. However, unless my lord personally We, the ghouls, have also commissioned the release of the war mission of sending down the oracle, so you can think about it."

Chen Ziang followed him to the square on the other side, and saw the papyrus nailed on the stone tablet. It said tasks such as "elimination of spiritual aberrations" and "detection of hostile races". Most of the rewards were 300 yuan. -500 meritorious service points vary.

In terms of difficulty, it is not 01:30 points easier than "Slaying the Witch".The only problem is that the mission locations are all within the Dying Realm, and they are quite far away from the city of Zubasa. It may take a lot of time and effort to go back and forth.

If Chen Ziang was not born in the system, but some kind of folk mystic scholar or vagrant, then of course he can accumulate fire seeds through these scattered tasks, anyway, he has a lot of free time every day.

But after all, he needs to go to work, and it is already eight or nine o'clock when he comes home at night, and he has to take care of his younger sister, and he is also harassed by girls on weekends. How can he have time to do these small independent tasks?

That is to say, the task of slaying the witch overlapped with his own job content, and he could do it by the way, even if he had to work part-time after get off work or something.

--------

Not long after leaving the Dying Realm and returning to the real world, Chen Zi'ang received a message from Yuegong Suzuna.

The few women who called for a joint name in the subway did not come here on a whim, but were organized behind the scenes.In fact, members of the 13 light rail stations in Shinjuku District were all engaged in activities this morning, which alarmed the Shinjuku District Public Security Department.

As for the organization behind them, it is not the mutual aid association spontaneously organized online by the masses in the previous Takano Seiko case, but the "Parent-Teacher Association" in Zhongnan City-this is a serious official organization. Public institutions that protect the rights and interests of women and children are also part of the system.

"How could it be the Parent-Teacher Association?" Knowing the result, Chen Ziang was also taken aback. "I remember that this unit is responsible for urging families with school-age children to get vaccinated every year?"

"It's not just about vaccination." Suzuna Tsukimiya said helplessly, "It ranges from the 18R classification of audio-visual products, the approval of cultural festivals in elementary schools, junior high schools, etc., to the minor issues of various parents' dissatisfaction, the rising divorce rate in some neighborhoods, and what kind of career The fellowship between units...Anyway, as long as they can have something to do with women and minors, they can come and get involved."

"However, because the scope involved is too wide, this unit actually does not have much real power. Its main function is to respond to public opinion and supervise the society."

What Yue Gong Suzuna said, Chen Ziang, as a member of the old system, is naturally not too unfamiliar.

Institutions like this basically have no real power, so don't expect them to do things.In the same way, in order to show their sense of existence, they also have to jump out and make a fuss when necessary, otherwise they will really be ignored by the leaders above.

But the real question is, why did the Parent-Teacher Association in Zhongnan City come to work in Jibei City?

Within the system, meddling in the affairs of other people's jurisdiction is an absolute taboo!

Coupled with the abnormality of the previous flash of inspiration, Chen Ziang has reason to suspect that there must be something wrong with Zhongnan City... It just so happens that this weekend with Suzuna, we are going to Zhongnan City for a trip to a concert, so we can investigate it by the way .

"Speaking of which, are we going to Zhongnan City tonight?" Chen Ziang asked for confirmation.

"That's right, pick up Xiaozhu and leave." Tsukimiya Suzuna replied with a smile.

Xia Qingyu couldn't follow this trip, and Xia Zili was busy with the concert.Chen Xiaozhu can do whatever he wants, if I still can't eat senior, I will read my name, Yue Gong Suzuna, upside down!

243. Chapter 242 Couple’s Coffee Shop

The largest heat source in Gaotianyuan is located in the North Pole, and the second largest is located in the Antarctic, with an area only about one-tenth that of the North Pole.

Because of this, the urban area of ​​Zhongnan City is much smaller than that of Jibei City.

As soon as he got off the flight, Chen Ziang noticed that the airport in Zhongnan City was obviously more dilapidated than that in Jibei City.

The driver of the shuttle bus that came to pick up and drop off the passengers was also very blunt in the language of the Lu nationality, and there were also some difficult-to-understand island dialects.

No wonder the citizens of Jibei City like to say that Zhongnan City is a "big rural village".After all, it is the place farthest from Jibei City on the entire Gaotianyuan planet. Cultural integration and personnel exchanges are not easy, which has led to the preservation of too much "island culture" in this place.

Tsukimiya Suzuna didn't care, she patted her chest and said that if it was difficult to communicate with the locals, she could act as an interpreter.

After leaving the airport and arriving at the hotel by taxi, the two of them put their luggage down.

Chen Ziang came to the balcony and looked at the scenery outside.

There are not many high-rise buildings in Zhongnan City, and buildings with more than 28 floors are almost rare.Most of the houses are no more than six storeys high, and rows of water tanks and solar panels are placed on the roof, which really feels like coming to a small county town.

A pickup truck slowly drove past the street below. The back compartment of the car was equipped with equipment similar to a loudspeaker. Two huge speakers hung on the side of the car, making intermittent sounds:

"Please support the Democratic First Party, Iwata Qingchuan, to run for the next governor! Island affairs, island self-determination, elect the island's own governor!"

"It's a pickup truck." Tsukimiya Suzuna came to his side and said in surprise, "Senior, do you know the origin of this thing?"

"How to say?" Chen Ziang asked.

"The economy here in Zhongnan City is very underdeveloped." Yue Gong Suzuna explained, "Unlike Jibei City, which has a variety of rich media channels, many citizens here even use old-fashioned flip phones, except for making calls and sending text messages. There is no internet access at all.”

"So, in order to convey the election manifesto to these uninformed voters, we can only use old-fashioned methods such as shouting in trucks, door-to-door visits, and group text messages."
