The Witch's Taste

Protruding from the neckline of the cold-proof clothing is a long, narrow, hairy, weird head like a dog. The green eyes are half-protruded outwards, and the cracks on the cheeks have festered marks. Just looking at it makes people feel sick. Have the urge to vomit.

Accompanied by a great sense of crisis, Chen Ziang felt that his spiritual vision was rising sharply, but the shadow cloak pinned to his underwear soon felt cold again, reawakening his little rationality.

At the same time, familiar information also came into mind from the shadow cloak.

【The Lord of the Great Deep Sea is watching you, His wrath is protecting you. 】

[Every time you kill a heretic ghoul, you will get 3 points of fire. 】

[Destroy the skull totem, and you will get 100 points of fire. 】

Chen Ziang: ……………

What the nightmare priest Nicole said came to mind along with the memories:

"Our Nightmare Clan in the ancient city of Enrank, the god we serve is the Lord of the Great Deep Sea."

"The Lord of the Great Deep Sea used to have a group of ghoul believers, but these shameless and despicable guys chose to convert, and turned to serve the 'King of Ghouls' of the flesh and blood camp."

At that moment, all the clues were connected in series:

Nicole once revealed that the Lord of the Great Deep Sea and the King of Ghouls are sworn enemies.

The mortuary in Lingyi Town dedicated the corpses of dead townspeople to the so-called "God of Mines", whose real body was the King of Ghouls.

The proprietress of the hotel, Mrs. Fuyuki, is probably the witch of the king of ghouls, Mie Nishikawa.

The old book I got was a relic of the King of Ghouls, and it was a bait specially released by Mihui Nishikawa. The purpose was to attract people to come over and put the book back on the totem—this is probably some kind of sacrificial ceremony. Once the ceremony is completed, the consequences will inevitably be unimaginable.

Through the shadow cloak, the Lord of the Deep Sea found himself involved in the sacrificial ceremony of the King of Ghouls, so he tempted himself to destroy the ceremony, so as to shock the King of Ghouls a little...

Thinking of this, Chen Ziang suddenly felt blessed, and quickly raised his left hand without thinking, activating the power of [Touch of the Abyss].

In the pool of blood behind the skull totem, huge tentacles suddenly rose up, quickly and firmly entangled the totem.

Horrified and furious screams erupted from the surrounding crowd of ghouls, as if the goddess they worshiped had been ruthlessly desecrated.

While they were in a panic, resisting the decibel and high-frequency screams, Chen Zi'ang grabbed Yuegong Suzuna's hand, and pulled her towards the entrance where they came.

Chapter 41 Mie Nishikawa's Criminal Motivation

At the moment when the touch of the abyss entangled the totem, almost all the ghouls around pounced on it, and began to frantically attack and tear the giant tentacles, trying to rescue the totem from it.

Chen Zi'ang dragged Yue Gong Ling Nai to flee.He saw at least six or more ghouls with just a rough scan of the light just now, and there was absolutely no chance of winning in a head-on confrontation.

But the other side did not intend to let the culprit go. The two ghouls closest to the entrance of the cave quickly outflanked and attacked, one left and one right.

Their hind legs bounced extremely powerfully, and they rushed to the side in two or three vertical leaps, with some ominous, scalp-numbing sounds of bones and joints moving, as well as the extremely foul-smelling rotten aura around them.

One of them lowered its body and approached quickly, the sharp claws of both hands swept across like a gust of wind, tearing towards Tsukimiya Suzuna's soft abdomen.

The other leaped high, its claws spread like a sword made of steel, and slashed down at Chen Zi'ang with the weight of its whole body.

Chen Ziang pulled out the mandala magic sword with his backhand, trying to resist the attack from the air.Huge force came from the sword, forcing him to stagger back, and his right arm seemed to be dislocated in an instant.

But years and weird wrestling experience still come into play.When his right hand was out of strength and unable to hold the sword, Chen Ziang quickly lowered his left hand, and with the help of the mandala magic sword that fell due to the release of his right hand, he stabbed upwards again suddenly.

The ghoul really didn't expect the counterattack to come so quickly, and was about to take advantage of the momentum to rush forward to pursue it, but the magic sword pierced its shoulder, and the skin around the wound quickly shriveled.

It was too late to go up to make up the knife to confirm, Chen Ziang quickly turned his head to look beside him, and saw that half of another ghoul's body had already flown out, the shadow warrior flashed by the light of the emergency flashlight, and quickly disappeared into the moon palace Suzuna The feet are gone.

"Beautiful!" Chen Ziang couldn't help saying.

Then he reacted abruptly, and continued to pull Yue Gong Suzuna out of the cave, and fled towards the direction of the road when he came.

"Bring back the book!" came the screams of the ghouls from behind.

Their voices are rough and piercing, like vocal cords polished by sandpaper, with some kind of cruel and thick malice, rapidly approaching in the reverberation from all directions in the cave.

Chen Ziang's heart became ruthless, and with his thoughts, the touch of the deep abyss wrapped around the bone totem immediately contracted violently.

The entangled skull totem also made an overwhelmed sound.

"Stop! Stop!" The ghouls yelled again in a panic.

But where is Chen Ziang willing to stop?Now he can only maintain the summoning of one tentacle at the same time. If he doesn't disarm the thick tentacle in the blood pool, this skill will be sealed and cannot be used.

But the ghouls can calmly divide their troops, some of them are trying to help the Bone Totem out of trouble, and the other are chasing and killing them, without any worries at all.

Therefore, the moment he rushed out of the cave and entered the tunnel, he gave the trigger of the underworld the command to "destroy the totem".

Accompanied by the reminder of the 100-point tinder of the shadow cloak, there was also a wave of furious anger from behind, and the ghouls had all gone berserk, vowing to tear the two intruders into pieces .

Chen Ziang had already made a desperate move and ran for his life along the passage he came from, feeling as if the ground beneath his feet was shaking crazily.

Fortunately, Tsukimiya Suzuna followed him nimbly, and didn't have a series of behaviors that raised blood pressure, such as suddenly twisting her ankle or falling to the ground, like the common idiot heroines in movies.

The two quickly rushed to the blockage of the tunnel, Chen Ziang pushed Yuegong Suzuna into the slit, and he raised his hand again.

The huge touch of the abyss rose from the ground, blocking the way of the ghouls who were chasing after them.

For a while, the sound of footsteps, screams, fighting, cursing, and the sound of tentacles whipping the rock wall and flesh, all mixed into a huge disorderly sound wave, and the chaos swallowed everything around like a tide.

Yuegong Suzuna, who got into the slit, stretched out her hand, and was about to pull Chen Ziang in, but the latter was suddenly stunned on the spot, unable to move.

Coming from a distant and deep unknown dimension, the ghoul king's cold gaze, attracted by the destruction of the bone totem, followed the location of the old book, and finally locked the existence of Chen Ziang from the air.

Under the action of an unknown force, his heart suddenly stopped beating, his blood coagulated, his muscles stiffened and rotted, his bones decayed and rotted, and he lost his life in an instant.

Yuegong Suzuna hugged him tightly, and the shadow wrapped Chen Ziang's body.

"Lord of the Great Deep Sea! I know you're watching!" she cried tremblingly, "The ebb and flow of the tide is also governed by laws. How can a person who executes your will be swallowed by that rotten thing instead?"

There was another deep, old chuckle, and Chen Ziang's body was revived again at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The heart beat again, the blood began to flow, the muscles became rosy, the bones solidified and formed, and the chest gradually began to rise and fall.

Yue Gong Ling Nai breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly pushed Chen Zi'ang through the slit, while the shadow pulled hard on the other side, carried him through the collapsed and blocked tunnel, and then rushed outside with him on his back.

After leaving the mine and just returning to the surface, she saw a figure standing not far away, holding a flashlight to shine on it.

The lights of the two shone on each other's face at the same time, and Tsukimiya Suzuna finally saw that what was waiting for her here was the proprietress of the hotel, Mrs. Fuyutsuki.

"I thought you were already dead down there." Mrs. Dongyue said with a smile.

"I've let you down." Yuegong Lingna supported Chen Ziang, "You are Xi Chuan Meihui, right?"

"Yes, it's me." The other party asked with a calm expression, "You recognize me? You know my story, don't you?"

"I'm not interested in your story." Tsukimiya Suzuna said coldly.

"But you should be able to feel that kind of despair." Xi Chuanmeihui said with a smile, "That kind of pain and despair when you see your loved one lose, but you can't do anything about it. Would you like to listen to me?"

Yuegong Suzuna stopped talking, but concentrated on checking Chen Ziang's physical condition.

"They were killed by me." Xi Chuan Meihui's smile gradually paled, with a kind of almost numb and stiff expression, "My husband will push the cart out every day after get off work, selling tempura at the school gate. When school is over, I’ll pick them up in the family van.”

"But that day...my husband and I quarreled on the phone and told him that we would not pick him up. When school was over, he and the children didn't wait for me, so we had to push the cart back from the town slowly. The result was I met those beasts on the road..."

Her face suddenly convulsed violently, as if she wanted to cry out, but she didn't shed any tears, but her eyeballs seemed to protrude from their sockets.

"So it's your fault." Tsukimiya Suzuna said coldly, "But you plan to blame others, it's ridiculous."

"Who said it wasn't?" Xi Chuan Meihui's smile had completely disappeared, leaving only a weird and distorted expression, "I, originally planned to avenge them, and then find a place to kill myself."

"But ah, even this small, humble wish of mine can't be fulfilled."

She said in a playful tone, her thin cheeks twitched for a moment, and continued to speak:

"I used to pin my hopes on the town hall and Jibei City to avenge me, but the town hall forced me to withdraw the lawsuit, and the city judged me to lose the case, forcing me to a desperate situation."

"Even if I fell into hell, all I wanted was to avenge my family and kill all the wolves in the wild..."

Having said that, she suddenly showed a weird smile:

"Then I discovered that most of the so-called wild wolves are just abandoned and raised stray dogs that have flowed out from Jibei City and have been completely feral."

Chapter 42 Mie Nishikawa's Crime Declaration

When Xichuan Meihui appeared, Chen Ziang's consciousness had already come to his senses.

Just because he has just experienced death, his current consciousness can't take over the body well, so he can only rely on Tsukimiya Suzuna's support and support.

But then Xichuan Meihui's confession shocked him.

The problem of abandoning stray dogs is a bad debt in Jibei City.In the final analysis, the reason can be traced back to the "Ecological Protection Law No. [-] Act", which is a mandatory decree prohibiting the killing of animals in any way.

If stray dogs are not allowed to be killed, what should stray dogs do if they hurt people?

Domestic pet dogs are relatively close to humans, but most of them have been domesticated and restrained by their owners.Wild wolves are not domesticated, but most of them live far away from the extreme north city.These two basically will not cause too much harm to society.

The only trouble is the "abandoned stray dog" in the middle state. The owner has no restraint at all, and the domesticated state gradually fades away, and the risks follow.

If it is a stray dog ​​that has just been abandoned and is acting alone, it can barely maintain a domesticated state under the regular feeding of caring citizens.

However, if a group of wild dogs established social relations in groups of three or five, reproduced for two or three generations without domestication, and were used to foraging or even hunting in groups since childhood, the probability of attacking citizens would increase greatly.

Currently responsible for dealing with the dangerous wild dogs in the city is the Civil Affairs Section [-] of the Jibei City Public Security Department.Since the law does not allow the killing of stray dogs, it is generally found in animal shelters for shelter and breeding.

The animal shelters in Jibei City are almost all private profit-making organizations. Although they are under the banner of "re-finding owners for stray dogs", they are still conducting commercial transactions in essence, so they will only select good-looking, domesticated, and commercially valuable ones. Shelter for stray dogs.

And those hybrid, ugly, vicious, biting wild dogs?

There is only one answer left: send it out of Jibei City to throw it away.

"Batch processing" is impossible. Once they are discovered, they will be violently attacked by caring citizens online, and then everyone will be given administrative punishment for breaking the law, so they can only be caught and sent outside Jibei City to be thrown away.

In other words, what really caused the tragedy of Mie Nishikawa's family appeared to be the so-called "wild wolves" on the surface.

But in the final analysis, to investigate the source of these "wild wolves", whether it is the Jibei City Public Security Department that deals with stray dogs, or the citizens' families that adopt pet dogs and discard them irresponsibly, they are all responsible for everything.

There is a saying that "the law does not blame the public", and there is also a saying that "the people do not fight against the government".Whether it is those who abandoned their pet dogs without authorization, or the public security department who chose to put it badly, the victims have no way to hold them accountable.

Unless the victim has the power to destroy everything...

Thinking of this, he could no longer continue to rest, he could only barely pull himself together and struggled to open his eyes.

"Senior!" Tsukimiya Suzuna exclaimed in surprise.

"I'm sorry." Chen Ziang patted her hand, then said weakly to Xichuan Meihui, "I can understand your grief, because I also lost my family."

"But our Lu tribe has a saying, 'Every wrongdoer has his own debtor.' If you are completely driven by the hatred in your heart and wantonly persecute innocent citizens who have nothing to do with your family, then you will be the same as those who wantonly abandon and support you." What difference does it make between dogs and people who are responsible for the current infestation of wild dogs in Jibei City?”

Xi Chuan Meihui looked at him silently, and suddenly showed a horrifying smile:

"Mr. Operator, are you enlightening me? Are you trying...to save me? Save me, a sinful witch?"

"I am not qualified to save anyone." Chen Ziang shook his head, "And I know that revenge is the most basic human nature, but I want to remind you that the real murderer of your family is wild dogs. They are not affected by any Instigated by humans, but by animal nature."

"If you want revenge, kill these wild dogs; if you want to change the status quo and hope that tragedy will not happen to more people, then starting with the animal protection bill is the key. Either way, kill more innocent people Otherwise, it won't solve any problems."

He tried to stand up with his own strength, but failed, and Tsukimiya Suzuna hurriedly supported him again.

"It sounds convincing." Mie Nishikawa said with a smile, "But why do you think I haven't tried it?"

"Mr. Operator, wild dogs have been harming remote villages and towns for more than ten years. Why do you think Jibei City didn't take any countermeasures?"

"Change doesn't happen overnight..." Chen Ziang tried hard to explain something, but was interrupted roughly again by Xi Chuan Meihui:

"Don't lie, isn't the real reason obvious? It's just that we country people don't deserve it!"

Her expression was distorted by fury, with a kind of hatred that seemed to choose someone to eat.

"All the news related to the raging wild dogs can't even get a minimum amount of traffic on the Internet, let alone affect the votes and alarm politicians, because you citizens in the extreme north feel that the town is too far away and it has nothing to do with you, so you don't bother with it at all. Pay any attention, no?"

"Even if it's a dog, even if it's news about a star's dog dying, there are a group of people replying below, 'Wang Jiang, go away'. But what about the news that we country people are killed by wild dogs? Do you know how many people die every year? From the mouths of these beasts? Has anyone ever received real attention and help? Even the most basic sympathy and pity!!!”

Xi Chuan Meihui's anger didn't last long, and it was gradually contained in darker emotions, turning into a kind of calm and profound coldness.

"Change does not happen overnight. If someone is willing to advocate for us, maybe the situation will gradually improve in the future."

"But I can't wait."

The smile on her face got weirder:

"Because, whenever I see you townspeople walking your dogs in sunny parks, I can't help but think of my poor husband and children still digesting in the wild dog's stomach." Spotted corpses..."

"Whenever this happens, I can't help but hate...hate you, all of you."

Xi Chuan Mei Hui's voice finally calmed down, Chen Zi'ang wanted to say something, but was held back by Yue Gong Ling Nai beside him.
