The Witch's Taste

This guy... ever since that night, I always feel like he has become a different person.

Could it be that he has changed his gender?Do you really plan to serve a husband with me from now on?

No, no, no, no matter how you think about it, this kind of thing is impossible.

I have been best friends with her for so many years in my previous life, and I know her character very well.

First of all, she is very petty, and secondly, she is also horribly possessive. She is the kind of person who "once finds out that her best friend is interested in her husband, she will pretend to know nothing about it and ask her out for tea, and then secretly put sleeping pills in the black tea. The kind of scary lady who finally cut her into pieces with a smile on her face - if she wasn't a witch.

But if, I mean if, what if...

What if she finds that she can't get rid of me in a short time, so she plans to give in temporarily and allow me to serve one husband together, and then suddenly assassinates me when my combat power is reduced due to pregnancy... Should I readily agree?Or is it half pushing and half passively acquiescing?Or should he take the initiative to negotiate with her and set rules?

"There is no one else here." Xia Zili said coldly, "If you have anything on your mind, you can just say it."

Was it seen out?Tsukimiya Suzuna thought secretly, but changed the topic:

"I was just wondering if someone would take advantage of us if we both left Senior at the same time."

"Are you asking my sister?" Xia Zili said coldly, "Impossible."

"How is it impossible?" Tsukimiya Suzuna sneered subconsciously.Compared to Xia Zili, she is much more hostile to Xia Qingyu. "Do you know that it was because of her in the previous life..."

"Stop talking." Xia Zili interrupted her, "You don't know her at all."

"Yes, yes, I don't know her." Tsukimiya Suzuna said angrily, "You know her, and you firmly believe that she will not harm senior, so why did we end up in that situation in the previous life? Do you dare to say that there is no empire behind it? "

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

"What would you think if I were willing to be a husband with you?"

Tsukimiya Suzuna was silent for a moment and replied:

"I won't believe it, because we are the same kind of people. I know you as well as I know myself...Xia Zili, you will never willingly share your seniority with me."

"I can't deny this." Xia Zili said quietly, "But I also can't deny that I can't find a way to completely eliminate you in a short period of time. You are really desperate, Suzuna-chan. "

Tsukimiya Suzuna was about to retort when she heard Xia Zili say again:

"I'm different from you. In your previous life, you were always a loser, so you would put winning love first, but in my heart, the most important thing is that he can be happy, and the second is to accompany him. do you understand?"

"We continue to argue like this. Although he doesn't say anything on the surface, he still feels uncomfortable in his heart. In addition, it is impossible to decide life and death, so I don't want to continue to consume his patience and energy for something that has no result. Favorability."

"So, I don't plan to continue to be your enemy until I have the chance to kill you completely, Suzuna-chan."

Tsukimiya Suzuna fell silent after hearing this, and her mind started to work a little, and she immediately understood how terrifying Xia Zili's move of retreating to advance was.

For example, if she quarrels with her in front of her seniors, she only needs to use the "I don't mind" move to win the favor and guilt of her seniors immediately.

If I continue to act recklessly and aggressively, I will get a negative mark in the eyes of my seniors. A big negative mark will lead to a direct failure. Compared with her, whether it is virtuousness or considerateness, I will be judged...

but!

Isn't this a fucking mistress' trick? "I don't want to argue with her at all, I just want you to have me in your heart." Isn't this a despicable trick that can only be used by a mistress who wants to steal a house and completely gives up her dignity? !

Xia Zili!After all, you were also the legal wife in your previous life. I didn’t expect you to be so shameless...

Ah, not good.

It's not like she could come up with this despicable and shameless trick. I'm afraid there's that bitch's plan behind it!

At this moment, Tsukimiya Suzuna realized the terrifying difficulty of "one versus two".

But after all, she has a character that refuses to admit defeat, so even though she is extremely nervous, she still smiles calmly on her face:

"Okay, then I'll ask for your advice from now on."

"Sister Zili~"

336. Chapter 334 The film I edited is awesome

The Forever has started showing free movie documentaries again - this time it's the second "The Catastrophe of Egilaoth".

In the first film, "The Destruction of Takamagahara," the refugees stood in an empty central cabin and watched it. Many of them had even lost their relatives and friends not long ago, so the atmosphere was very depressing and heavy.

After the narrator pointed out in a calm voice that all disasters came from the Bakht mining ship, sadness was quickly replaced by rage, and even a riot broke out because of this.

It is precisely thanks to this collective atmosphere of common hatred and hatred that even after the starship arrived in Aegiraos, most residents did not choose to disembark. They even banded together to attack those who wanted to immigrate to Aegela out of hostility to the Federation and the elves. The people of Laos.

Until recently, many human residents of Aegelaos landed on starships after passing political review and medical examinations, and therefore were ostracized by the refugees from Takamagahara - they called Aegelaos "elf lackeys."

This of course makes no sense.It's enough to blame a generation of immigrants. Many Aegelaos humans have already immigrated to the Federation because their parents have immigrated to the Federation, so they are born with Federation citizenship. They have no choice.

But the Gaotian people don't care about this. The fanatical collective consciousness is usually unreasonable, so that recently there have been many "nationality detectives" inside the starship... When I hear passers-by speaking Lu nationality with a foreign accent, I will go up and violently. It even caused a lot of fights.

This irrational trend of thought continued to spread rapidly until the second part "The Disaster of Aegelaos" was aired.

All exterior advertising screens in the commercial district were bought to broadcast the documentary.Workers in the industrial zone were also given time off, and the team leader was responsible for arranging group viewings.Those in the living area are more troublesome and can only be visited one by one by community personnel. Residents are advised to turn their TVs to special channels.

But the response seems to be pretty good.

After all, some people were clamoring to get off the ship and go to Aegelaos some time ago, which caused an uproar among the people.

Nowadays, a large number of Aegiraos immigrants have come on board. Although most of the residents of Gaotian are not friendly to them, they have probably heard about what happened on the surface of the planet. From the name of this documentary, it is indeed The best way to know the specific details.

Of course, there are also some people who "take pleasure in the suffering of others" and happily wait to see the suffering of Aegelaos. Needless to say, there is no need to say more about these dark psychology.

The main narrative of the documentary is very smooth, and unnecessary "gospel plans" are deleted. There are not many traces and accusations against the Baal Group. It only describes the epidemic in the Aegelaos sector - mutant Japanese encephalitis at the beginning. inflammation, then revealed the price of specific drugs, and finally described how various families struggled to survive during this special period.

There is no deliberate sensationalism, no guidance of public opinion, and no conclusive "conclusion" is even given after playing these plots... As a promotional material, it is actually quite unconventional.

You know, traditional promotional materials often have to be reviewed by superiors before being put into publicity. And superiors don't like to spare their "precious time" to watch the video carefully, so subordinates can only refine the content, delete the foreshadowing, and express their feelings directly. , so that the superior can see it at a glance when pulling up the video bar.

So there are promotional materials such as "The sky is blue, the grass is green, and although it is difficult now, but the future will definitely be better", which is forced to sensationalize without details and is completely designed to cope with the review of superiors.

It was probably because she understood what the civil service team was like that Xia Qingyu asked Chen Ziang to edit it himself, and the final effect was indeed simple.

The word "hell" is not mentioned in the whole film, but anyone who has seen the scenes of beds being set up outside the hospital, the scene of the old man using his last savings to buy medicine for his sick grandson, and the scene of the mother crying bitterly while holding her child's urn. The picture... the word "hell on earth" popped up in the minds of all the viewers.

Compared with Takamagahara who was burned in the fire, Aegelaos is more like a kind of hanging.There was no intense pain, but the feeling of slow death was better than any torture.

At the Starship Council meeting, Song Mingyuan reported on the public comments after the promotional video was played:

47% of the people in Takamagahara expressed sympathy for Aegelaos; 51% of the people thought it was not surprising, after all, the federal chaebol has never been a good thing.

As for the human residents of Aegelaos, more than [-]% of them believe that "the federal government should be responsible for these sufferings." This is still without official guidance to set the tone.

If the starship humans go to war with the Federation in the future, the proportion of Aegelaos humans who distrust the elves should be higher than this.

Chen Ziang didn't want to be too complacent, but he had to admit that the film he participated in the production was good, and in the end it had the desired effect.

"What's the reaction from the Barr Group?"

"It is recommended that we try to capture as many harmonious images of the Aegelaos sector as possible."

"Sure enough, reporting good news but not bad news is a common problem among all races in the universe." Everyone sighed with emotion.

Fortunately, Chen Ziang had expected it and did not conduct so-called "tracing" of the epidemic virus in Aegilaos. He simply showed the spirit of the people of Aegilaos. Therefore, the Baal Group had no excuse to launch an attack.

"Hasn't there been any reply from Suzuna Murasaki?"

"No, it's probably out of the range of interstellar communication."

"Then let's jump to the Garcia sector according to the original plan."

The Forever began preparations for the long-distance jump, and Chen Ziang left the bridge and took the elevator to the business district again.

The commercial area inside the ship is very large, almost the same as Shinjuku District in the former Jibei City.The indoor height is about 6 meters, and there are a large number of high-power lights on the ceiling to simulate natural sunlight. They automatically dim at 6 o'clock in the morning and dim at [-] o'clock in the evening.

The reason for this design, in addition to the purpose of telling time, is also because most humans rely on the sun to judge day and night... It seems pretty good so far, although it looks like "there are many small suns in the sky." But the overall situation is not much different from daytime.

In the center of the business district is Starship Suburban Park. Chen Ziang found a chair and sat down, leisurely watching the pedestrians coming and going around him.

If it were in the previous life, these people would most likely have died.

From this point of view, I have indeed fulfilled my duty as a savior...

"The mothership was provided by Suzuna Tsukinomiya, and the rescue team was sent by Xia Qingyu. Did you really play any role?" Nishikawa Mie appeared behind the bench at some point and asked casually.

"Of course it plays a key role." Chen Ziang said seriously, "If I hadn't insisted on it, they wouldn't have saved people."

"That's true." Seiko Takano stood next to the lamppost and agreed, "Without him, Xia Qingyu would probably have gone back to the empire directly, and Suzuna Tsukimiya would not have come to Takamagahara at all."

"For example, it's like a pretty boy clinging to a rich woman, and then using the money from his support to donate to charity." Saori Mizuhara joked, "Just because the money is not earned through his labor, we can't deny that he is helping the poor. Poor people, right?”

"What do you plan to do when you come out?" Chen Ziang interrupted them angrily.

"We just want to hang out outside." Takano Seiko replied, "After all, I haven't felt the lively atmosphere for a long time."

337. Chapter 335 Not doing business properly

To this day, Chen Ziang still doesn't understand why the souls of the three witches who died in front of him live in the Mandala Sword.

However, the mysterious world is like this: many powers do not conform to the laws of physics at all, and perpetual motion machines in various senses abound. If you insist on getting entangled, there will be no results except causing trouble for yourself.

Chen Ziang followed the three of them and slowly walked with them shopping.

Mizuhara Saori and Nishikawa Mie are both from rural areas. They look like mother and daughter when they stand together, and their relationship is quite close when they try on clothes in the store.

Takano Seiko was a workaholic during his lifetime and had very little need for shopping, so he just stood at the door of the store and looked at the products around him.

"Speaking of which," she suddenly said, "the current legal system of the starship humans does not follow the legal system of Takamagahara, right?"

"Yes." Chen Ziang replied.

Gao Tianyuan's original laws were almost completely changed according to the requirements of the elves, so there are obvious signs of acclimatization in many places.

For example, the most classic meat-eating ban, the Federation itself has a developed food additive industry, which can make synthetic meat taste better than real meat, so there is not much resistance when it is implemented among the people. However, Gao Tianyuan's trick is to torture everyone's tongue.

Another example is the affirmative action for disadvantaged groups. Its roots come from the Federal Father Church’s idea of ​​“salvation of the weak”. It has high support among the people, especially left-wingers, and there is a soil for the growth of this idea.

However, the infighting here in Takamagahara is so intense that everyone is going numb. All the left-wingers think about is how to fight against the big chaebols to take back their jobs. Of course, they will not consider the so-called vulnerable groups - we working people are all vulnerable groups, right? ?Therefore, the result of forceful push is that the bottom class fights with each other, and is viewed as a monkey show by the people above.

Now that Chen Ziang is finally in charge, these outdated laws will naturally be abolished.But what about the new laws?For example, slaughtering animals was not allowed before, so there were no relevant quarantine laws. Now that everyone is allowed to eat meat, food laws need to be improved, right?

Chen Ziang saw through her intention and asked:

"Are you planning to join the work of revising the laws of the starship humans?"

"Yes." Takano Seiko said bluntly, "The law is not a tool to maintain fairness and justice, but a arena where classes and ethnic groups compete against each other. I want to verify this judgment of mine, and of course I will not fall behind in work. ,May I?"

"Of course, no problem." Chen Ziang agreed readily.

Although he does not understand the law, this work is presided over by Xia Qingyu, and there should be no problem even if Takano Seiko joins him.

What's more, this lawyer was an extreme idealist during his lifetime. After being disillusioned with his ideals, he jumped from one extreme to another. Now that he has died for his ideals, he should become much more realistic... What lesson can be compared to this? How could death be more impressive?

"I heard it." Mizuhara Saori came out of nowhere and said with a smile, "Ms. Takano already has a job, so it's not too much to arrange a job opportunity for me, right? I've also helped you, right?"

"What do you want to do?" Chen Ziang asked helplessly.

"I want to do an employment survey." Mizuhara Saori replied, "I want to know how the unemployed people at the bottom of the starship humanity are currently struggling to make a living."

"It shouldn't be too difficult." Chen Ziang thought and said, "Our staple food is rationed according to household registration, so first of all, no one can starve to death, and secondly, even if we make some money, there is not much luxury consumption on the ship, and the gap between the rich and the poor is It won’t be that big.”

"This is the ruler's perspective." Mizuhara Saori chuckled, "Without an investigation, how can you be sure that these are not deliberately designed by the people below for you to see?"

"What you said makes sense." Chen Ziang suddenly realized, "Then I will appoint you as the special commissioner to conduct private visits incognito for me to understand the public sentiment!"

He now also has some subtle insights: Why did ancient emperors like to appoint eunuchs so much?Because eunuchs will not betray!No matter how powerful he is outside, he will always be a slave in front of the emperor.

The three witches who became sword slaves probably have a similar relationship with him.They have no family, no social connections, and cannot even leave the Mandala Sword too far. They are the kind of "ones" who can be completely trusted. Of course, they cannot be allowed to live in the sword and play cards. That would be a waste of talent.

When Nishikawa Meihui came out of the store, Chen Ziang took the initiative to ask:

"If you were looking for something to do, what type of job would you prefer?"

"I want to kill someone." Nishikawa Mie said without thinking.

This man is indeed a reckless man. It was really unfair to be a full-time housewife at home.

"Then do you want to join the riot squad?" Chen Ziang suggested, "specialized in dealing with armed rebels inside starships."

"Not interested." Nishikawa Mie refused directly, "I want a profession where I don't have to distinguish between bystanders and targets, as long as I can kill everyone I see."

"Then you can only go to the planetary commando team." Chen Ziang smiled bitterly, "It's the type that when you encounter interstellar pirates, you take a frigate to forcefully approach, drill holes in the armor, and then rush in to kill all the pirates."

"Then let's go to the Planetary Commandos." Nishikawa Mie's eyes lit up, "I want to kill people without restraint... No, I mean to kill bad guys."

"But there is a problem now." Chen Ziang spread his hands and said, "We don't have frigates. To be precise, we can't build military ships now."
