The Witch's Taste

Chapter 39 Departure!

In the vague dream, it seems to have returned to the distant past.

There are countless people who are grateful and grateful to her; there are also countless people who curse at her, hate and curse.

"Thank you for saving my family..."

"You are a rotten bitch, a devil who deserves a thousand knives!"

"We will always have your back and will always be by your side."

"I'm a ghost and I won't let you go!"

"Your life is more important than ours, please don't let our sacrifice lose value..."

"Do you think you are very powerful yourself? You are just a loner with no one to love..."

lonely...

Yue Gong Ling Nai woke up suddenly from the bed, and saw Chen Zi'ang was arranging the spiritual pressure meter.

"What's the matter?" He heard the noise and turned around, "There are still 10 minutes, you can continue to sleep for a while."

Tsukimiya Suzuna stared blankly at him.

After a while, she shook her head in a trance:

"Nothing, just a nightmare."

"Isn't it a sign of spiritual pollution?" Chen Ziang asked cautiously.

"No." Tsukimiya Suzuna shook her head.

"Would you like some rational lozenges?" Chen Ziang threw her a medicine bottle.

Tsukimiya Suzuna unscrewed the cap, took one and put it under her tongue.The slow-release sedative with mint aroma made her feel much better.

"If you feel mentally unstable, tell me anytime." Chen Ziang said with concern.

"Hmm..." Tsukimiya Suzuna nodded.

It's okay, Suzuna-chan, those are just nightmares, they're all over.

She stared blankly at Chen Ziang, her eyes were so focused and serious, as if she wanted to imprint him in her eyes forever.

"Are you really okay?" Chen Ziang saw that she was not in the right state, and couldn't help asking again to confirm.

"No problem, senior." Tsukimiya Suzuna finally recovered and said calmly, "Do you still remember what I told you in the hot spring?"

"The reason why I was able to successfully pass the entry test for Lesson [-] is because I also possess some mysterious... powers, which are similar to the ability you use to enter and exit dreams, senior."

As she spoke, she suddenly raised her left arm and waved her hand, only to see the shadow on the floor stand upright suddenly.

"Hmm." Chen Ziang observed for a moment, "Manipulate the shadow?"

I seem to have heard a similar name somewhere...

"Yes." Tsukimiya Suzuna took out the excuse she had prepared long ago, "Since I was very young, my shadow has had an independent consciousness. She will not die, will not be injured, and can understand my words, Will do whatever it takes to protect me."

"In order to find out her origin, I joined Countermeasures Lesson [-]. This secret... even my parents don't know, seniors will keep it a secret for me, right?"

"Of course." Chen Ziang activated his inspiration and stared at the shadow for a long time, "How much is your spiritual vision?"

"17." Tsukimiya Suzuna said hesitantly, "It was tested when I joined the job."

"I see, you should be the type who is born with high spiritual vision." Chen Ziang suddenly realized, and explained, "Most people's spiritual vision is born with 0, but there are also very rare cases. Has more than 10 spiritual vision."

"Such people will have special abilities when they become adults, or even when they are minors. There used to be a very senior senior in the Sheriff's Department..."

Having said this, he suddenly stopped talking.

"There used to be a senior with very senior qualifications?" Tsukimiya Suzuna asked.

"It is said that he is a very powerful senior." Chen Ziang said with a sigh, "The big information database of our sixth class was built by him from scratch."

"But then he disappeared and his whereabouts are unknown. The unit suspected that he had too much spiritual vision and was completely out of touch with the present world, so he 'ghosted'."

"Is that so." Yue Gong Suzuna thought about it.

"Don't worry, if your spirit vision is below 30, you basically don't have to be afraid of being out of touch with the present world." Chen Ziang looked at his watch, "It's almost time, you go back and change your equipment, I'll go find Li Xu."

Leaving his room, he came to the door of Rio Honakaze and knocked on the door.

"The things are at the door, take them yourself." Hokaze Rio's voice came from inside.

Chen Ziang pushed the door open and went in, only to see Riu Hokaze sitting at the desk with his back to the door, typing away on the keyboard of the laptop.

She put the old book into a special box and placed it on the carpet by the door, as inconspicuous as an ordinary suitcase.

"Let's go." Chen Ziang picked up the box.

Honokaze Rio didn't look back, but just waved his hands.

Returning to the corridor of the hotel, Chen Ziang waited for a while, and then saw Yuegong Lingna come out of the room.

At this time, she not only brought a spiritual pressure meter, a pistol, and demon bullets, but also put on a thick winter clothes, looking like a simple polar bear.

"Don't wear cold-proof clothes, wait until you're out of town. Otherwise, you'll be too noticeable." Chen Zi'ang reminded her.

"Oh." Tsukimiya Suzuna turned back to the room again, took off her cold-proof clothing, put it in a bag and took it out - the bag just covered the gun at her waist, perfect.

The two of them walked down the stairs carrying their things, and happened to meet Mrs. Dongyue, the proprietress who was cleaning the lobby on the first floor.

"It's so late, are the two guests going out?" Mrs. Dongyue asked with a smile, "Is the hotel's hot spring satisfactory?"

"Very good." Chen Ziang nodded with a smile, "We want to go for a walk, is there any interesting place nearby?"

"We are an old mining town here, and there must be no tourist attractions." Mrs. Dongyue covered her mouth with a smile, "If I have to say, maybe there are only some old-fashioned island-style buildings worth seeing."

"Oh, where is it?"

"Most of them are in the southwest of the town, and there is also a shrine to pray for the miners who used to go to the mine." Mrs. Dongyue thought for a while, and then suddenly said, "By the way, remember not to enter the entrance of the mine, the passage inside It collapsed due to the earthquake, which is very dangerous."

"Thank you for letting me know." Chen Ziang nodded, and left with Yuegong Lingnai.

Mrs. Dongyue watched them leave with a smile on her face, and then continued to sweep the floor.

After leaving the hotel, the two quickly walked southwest.

As the hotel proprietress said, most of the houses in Lingyi Town are in the old-fashioned island style, which looks dilapidated and old.

A high wall separates each household, and there is a shallow drainage ditch at the door. Chen Ziang even saw a dog hole at the foot of a certain wall, and the hole was buried by overgrown weeds.

Compared with the Lingyi Town seen in the dream world before, this town in reality is much dilapidated, almost no lights are on in every house, only the cold moonlight and the sky full of stars shine brightly in the dark night.

Kant once said that there are only two things in the world that can deeply shock our hearts, one is the lofty moral law in our hearts, and the other is the vast and brilliant starry sky above our heads.

But it was completely different from Kant's feelings. The more Chen Ziang understood this starry sky, the more confused...and fear filled his heart.

"Suzuna." He suddenly said softly, "Be careful."

"En." Yue Gong Suzuna responded quickly.

She looked forward into the darkness where she could not see her fingers, and then at Chen Ziang who was walking in front, showing a gentle and deep smile.

Chapter 40 This is a trap

The mine is not far from the town.

Just five or six steps away from the town, the two of them immediately noticed the almost sudden drop in temperature around them, so they had to put on cold clothes on the spot.

Chen Ziang held a suitcase containing old books in his left hand, tied the emergency flashlight to the center of his forehead with his right hand, and then held down the hilt of the Mandala Sword, walking forward cautiously.

Yuegong Suzuna held the emergency flashlight in her left hand, and had already drawn out her gun in her right hand, following behind Chen Ziang cautiously.

The entrance of the mine tunnel was originally sealed with a wooden door to prevent naughty passing children from breaking in, but now it has completely decayed and fell to the ground together with the rusted door hinge.

Cautiously passing through the door frame, Chen Ziang's light shone on the ground, and he found an oil lamp that had been extinguished, and the position was exactly the same as that seen in the dream.

He continued to walk forward, his inspiration had already been activated, and he was always alert and vigilant to his surroundings.

After going back for dozens of steps, the front door collapsed. The steel bars used to support the mine tunnel were bent by a large amount of earth and rocks, leaving no room for passage.

Standing at the collapsed place, Chen Ziang carefully inspected it.

Hmm, completely blocked.

"Senior." Tsukimiya Suzuna reminded, "There is a side hole here."

Chen Ziang turned around and looked, and sure enough, he saw a well-hidden slit on the nearby rock wall.

Didn't you find this slit when the Public Security Bureau came to check it?Or was it discovered later?

He squinted his eyes to look at the slit, and found that there was no trace of sharp cutting, as if it was a naturally formed cave.

"What are you looking at, senior?" Tsukimiya Suzuna asked.

"It's nothing, let's go." Chen Ziang shook his head.

In the absence of evidence, it is better not to guess and mislead your companions.

He walked sideways through the slit, quickly bypassed the collapsed place, and reached the other side smoothly.

This slit is not difficult to pass, but if you are being chased back by the monster, you may not have time to get in here.

If you encounter that kind of situation, it is safer to call out the touch of the abyss here, seal the dangerous back road first, and then pass through the slit.

Chen Ziang studied for a while before taking Yuegong Suzuna forward.

The deeper the two went into the mine, the more downward and winding the terrain ahead became, and the sound of water droplets gradually came from the originally quiet surroundings.

Is there groundwater nearby?

Chen Ziang suddenly slowed down, and Inspiration had already started to call the police.

It is a very subtle kind of vigilance. There must be some kind of evil abyss thing ahead, but it is not a huge imminent danger, so it can only be vigilant.

"Senior." Suzuna Yuegong said suddenly, "Did you hear... the voice?"

"Voice?" Chen Ziang shook his head, "I didn't hear it."

"There is no problem with the audio monitoring." Rio Hokaze's voice came from the headset, "It's not a physical sound wave, but a message received by your inspiration."

Yuegong Lingnai's spirit vision is higher than Chen Ziang's, so her inspiration can receive news that Chen Ziang can't.

This is not a good thing.

Adjusting their vigilance to the highest level, the two continued to walk forward, and after going down for about five or six minutes, they finally entered a cave.

This seems to be a larger mine, with a wooden platform built around it for digging higher ores.

In a low-lying place in the very center of the mine, there is a deep red pool that looks like blood.

In the very center of the pool, stood a rough bone totem.

The three skulls are divided into left, middle and right, and are fixed on an expanded rib. Under the skull, there are two open palms.

"Well, it's this totem." Rio Hokaze's voice continued to come from the headset, "Now, take out the book from the box and put it on the palm of the bone."

Chen Ziang squatted on the ground, opened the box, and took out the old books inside.

Under the reflection of the pool of blood, the leather on the surface of the book began to glow faintly, as if blood was really oozing out.

"Senior." Tsukimiya Suzuna said suddenly, "Let me let it go."

Chen Ziang glanced at her, but did not hand her the book, but asked the headset:

"Put it on the palm of the bone, and then? What will happen?"

"Then, the curse on the opponent should be lifted." Rio Hokaze replied.

"I never said that the client is a curse." Chen Ziang questioned.

"My judgment is a curse." Hokaze Rio's voice became colder.

"The real Lixu told me before that there was a 'God's Gaze' on it." Chen Ziang sneered, "Why, when you impersonated her, didn't you do your homework?"

"Hmph." Hoikaze Rixu's voice in the headset turned into a sneer from Mrs. Dongyue, the proprietress of the hotel, "If the two of you still want to get out alive, just do as I tell you."

Suddenly, there were many rustling sounds in places where the surrounding light could not shine.

Chen Ziang quickly adjusted the direction of the emergency flashlight, only to realize that there were many tall, thin and hunched figures in the darkness around him.

Their bodies were wrapped in thick winter clothes, but their upper bodies were obviously bent down, as if they were going to lie on the ground at any time.
