The Witch's Taste

Priest Neeko, holding a scepter, slowly stepped out of the temple to meet him—still with a slim and graceful figure, and a face as smooth as a mask without facial features.

"Welcome, Mr. Asker." Although there is no mouth, Nicole can still make a sexy and mature female voice through some unknown means, "Did you find anything different about our Enrank?"

"To be honest, I don't really care about this." Chen Ziang said cautiously.

In the mystical world, the more you know, the more dangerous you are, which is an unassailable truth.

Of course, ignorance is equally dangerous, so you must carefully choose what you need to know and avoid taboos that you don't need to know.

"Well, since that's the case, I won't say more." Priest Nicole said with a smile, "Exchange power? Or do you need any information?"

"Yes, I want to buy information." Chen Ziang threw out the prepared question, "What are 'matrix', 'concept' and 'spirituality'?"

"Very valuable question." Priest Nicole said slowly, "I have three answers here, worth 20 points, 100 points, and 2000 merit points. Which one do you want to buy?"

"Why are there three prices?" Chen Ziang asked in surprise.

"Because of this question, it actually refers to the essence of the universe." Nicole said in an ethereal and mysterious voice, "The essence of the universe is too high and too great to be fully interpreted. Every individual, no matter great or humble, can only try his own way." To understand, describe, and write your own answers."

"20 points of merit is an answer that you humans can understand; 100 points of merit is what our nightmares have already discovered; 2000 points of merit come from a lower race that is far superior to us. We paid a great price to fight with them In exchange for this valuable, forbidden knowledge."

"I choose 20 points of merit." Chen Ziang replied.

It's not because he can only afford this version of the answer, but because Nicole has hinted very clearly: even if I tell you all the knowledge above 100 points of merit, it is not understandable for you now.

The physical bodies of humans and nightmares are completely different, and the gap in cognitive limits is also huge, perhaps even greater than the gap between ants and humans.

If ants want to exchange information with humans, the most valuable thing is of course "where to find food" rather than "how to use genetic engineering to improve crops". It is also impossible to understand even the slightest information, only to go crazy.

"A wise choice." Nicole said leisurely, "Matrix, concept and spirituality, known as the 'three major elements', together constitute the entire universe we know today."

"The matrix is ​​actually the collection of all matter, energy, time, and space. This should be the most familiar element to you humans."

"Concepts are the collection of all information, data, and laws. They are the embodiment of the existence, movement, change, and destruction of the matrix."

"Spirituality, which is a little closer to what you humans call soul, is a unique reflection projected onto the substrate from distant dimensions."

"If you want to use an analogy to explain, only the substrate is like a corpse, and the substrate and concept are like a vegetable, and only the substrate, concept and spirituality are combined, is a living human being—that is, our current universe. "

Chen Ziang half understood what he heard, and felt that his 20 sparks seemed to be in vain.

"Let me guess." Nicole seemed to see through his mind, and continued, "You should have upgraded the power of exchange, and you are currently considering the direction of evolution, right?"

"Hmm." Judging from the other party's tone, this seemed to be some kind of common basic problem, so Chen Ziang nodded and admitted.

"To put it simply," Nicole said, "If you choose the matrix as the direction of evolution, your power will be more materialistic; if you choose concepts, you will be more spiritual; if you choose spirituality, the direction of evolution is rather strange. It is difficult for me to use language that you can understand. To explain, after all, you humans have too little understanding of spirituality."

"Let me just say this: if you want to deal with the fierce struggle on the frontal battlefield, it is recommended to choose the substrate; if you want to hide in the dark to murder others, you should choose the concept; if you only consider escaping or saving your life, choose spirituality is the most appropriate."

Chen Ziang finally understood.

Substrate is physical attack, such as hitting people with tentacles; concept is mental sneak attack, such as those tentacles that attacked Xia Zili's mental body in her subconscious.

As for spirituality, it is the strangest direction of evolution.It may not be useful in this situation, but it may work wonders in that situation next time.

Considering that he was going to confront Mie Nishikawa head-on, he finally made a decision:

Just choose the substrate!

Standing in front of the altar again, Chen Ziang voted his decision to the altar of chaos.

[Touch of the Abyss], the evolution direction is selected as "substrate".

Advanced available: [Bloated Touch]

Before he had time to think about what [Bloated Touch] was, Chen Ziang's consciousness suddenly fell.

He saw that in the weird and terrifying kingdom of tentacles, surrounded by countless tentacles, was a huge, bloated tentacle.

Its diameter far exceeds that of the ordinary Netherworld's Touch, and each sucker is covered with disgusting granulation, like a cancer cell that proliferates wildly.

Chapter 65 Two-Line Chat

The Chaos Altar is good for everything, it can be exchanged for powers, it can be promoted to military rank, and it can help communicate with the gods, but it is not very good.

Never explain what power is for.

Of course, Chen Ziang thinks from the perspective of rationality, perhaps because the altar of chaos has a too deep understanding of power, and if these taboo knowledge is enlightened, not only can't understand it with his own human body, but he will directly fall into madness.

As Nicole said, gods, lower races, and humans have different depths in the abyss, different spiritual visions, and different limits of understanding of knowledge.

Considering that the Chaos Altar needs to encourage himself to collect fire, Chen Ziang prefers this as a protective measure.

In this way, what is the effect of the bloated touch, probably I can only find time to test it slowly.

Of course, there is actually another option, which is to tell Nicole the powers he has, and let the nightmare priest give corresponding opinions.

However, although the other party has a friendly attitude, they are still of the lower race.

The so-called "people who are not of my race must have a different heart" is an unquestionable truth in the mystical world, and we must always be vigilant.

Chen Ziang was about to leave when Nicole suddenly said:

"Mr. Asker, you seem to be troubled by something."

"Remember, in this universe, only weakness is the real original sin."

"Other than that, no guilt at all."

Chen Ziang was silent for a moment, then nodded to show that he was educated.

Returning to reality from the dream world, Chen Ziang changed into pajamas, and then began to check the mobile phone messages before going to bed, and found that the news of the work group almost exploded.

Unsurprisingly, all colleagues are complaining about the idiot's killing of donkeys. By the way, the leader is not in this group, so everyone can speak freely.

There is basically no need to worry about layoffs within the system, but there are plenty of disgusting methods. For example, Mashima Masami’s Supervision Section has a group called "Internet Supervision Team", which belongs to the existence of cesspit level.

Why is it called a cesspit?Because the daily business of this group is to review and deal with the "bad information reports" submitted by some boring netizens.

For example, someone browses on an e-commerce website and sees a product picture of a toy yellow duck.

He thinks this picture is bad news...why?Because it is a little yellow duck! The "yellow" one was still a "duck" and "small", so he took this picture as bad news and reported it to the Public Security Department for processing.

The report will first be reviewed by the machine through sensitive words, and if the program cannot recognize it, it will be sent to the network monitoring team for manual processing.

Therefore, the staff of the network monitoring team stared at the computer screen wearing heavy glasses every day, watching spam messages one after another, doing mechanical and repetitive judgment work.

Coupled with Masami Mashima's mean character, the network surveillance can be called the most disgusting job in the Public Security Department system, and the annual turnover rate is basically over 50%.

If Mr. Yongjian of the racecourse is dissatisfied with anyone, he will first suspend you for reflection.If you don't write a self-criticism to apologize to the leader during the suspension period, then after the suspension is over, you will be transferred to the Internet Supervision Team...and then you can wait for your voluntary resignation. It is said that the most stubborn guy only lasted seven years.

Chen Ziang watched their various discussions, and the more he watched, the more flustered he became, thinking that this idiot hadn't started to do anything yet, and you guys would scare yourselves to death.

Quickly close the work group, and then see the messages sent by two people.

[Yutu refuses to admit defeat]: Senior, are you free tomorrow?I just happened to get two tickets to the Thousand Islands Aquarium.

The word "just in time" is too far-fetched, but tomorrow is Sunday and I don't go to work, so Chen Ziang replied:

"I'll ask Xiaozhu, let's talk about it tomorrow."

The sky is big and the earth is big, and my sister is the biggest.I ran around these days and didn't spend time with my sister. If I left her at home again on Sunday, Xiao Zhu would definitely be angry.

[Yutu refuses to admit defeat]: Can I bring my younger sister Jiang along.

[Is there any urban legend]: Isn't there only two tickets?

[Yutu refuses to admit defeat]: It doesn't matter, I have an annual membership fee, free tickets throughout the year.

Since there is an annual membership fee, why do you buy two tickets...

Chen Ziang felt that the other party's statement was full of loopholes, and it was obvious that he was inviting him out on a date.

To be honest, I kind of don't want to go.

It's not that she doesn't like getting along with Yue Gong Suzuna, after all, this beautiful girl has a lively personality, a sweet mouth, and loves to laugh, even if they don't do anything together, it's always pleasing to watch.

But now that the unit adjustment is imminent, and my own future is uncertain, I really don't feel in the mood to go out to play;

Secondly, I just exchanged [Bloated Touch], and I want to ask Ashiya Yu, if I can borrow the underground training ground of his office, and study the difference between this new tentacle and the Touch of the Abyss.

Forget it, let's talk about it tomorrow.

"Xiaozhu is already asleep. I'll get up tomorrow and ask her if she wants to go to the aquarium." Chen Ziang replied, "I'll tell you when the time comes?"

[Yutu refuses to admit defeat]: Alright, let's wait for the good news from the senior/compare me.

Chen Ziang closed the chat window and looked at the next unread message.

[Good at singing]: At today's concert, you seemed to leave after hearing half of it. Is there anything you are dissatisfied with?

Chen Ziang: ……………

The big star personally asked himself "the impression after watching the concert", feeling a little flattered.

[Is there any urban legend]: No, the singing is very nice, but there is something urgent in the unit, so I have to leave first, sorry.

After a while, the other party returned the message.

[Good at singing]: Don't be sorry, of course work is the priority, the detective agency is quite hard.

[Is there any urban legend]: Actually, I am a security officer.

【Good at singing】: Really?That's amazing. I thought about being a security officer or a prosecutor before, because I think it's cool to defend justice.

[Is there any urban legend]: It's okay. In short, if Ms. Xia encounters similar problems in the future, she can report to me in time to solve the problem without charging money.

[Good at singing]: Mmmm.

Chen Ziang was about to put his phone aside, when a new message popped up on it.

[Good at singing]: Speaking of which, has something gone wrong recently?It seems that many people are saying that they saw some monsters on the street.

[Is there any urban legend]: Where?

[Good at singing]: I don’t know, there are them in various places, but now online blogs can no longer publish similar topics, so they are all private chats with me.

Chen Ziang thought for a moment, thinking that Xia Zili lived in the mansion on the top floor of the high-end apartment in the riverside, so he was basically insulated from ghouls.

However, has the situation outside deteriorated to this extent?

Although reason tells him that Bachang Yongjian has already outsourced all the work, ordinary ghouls will be killed by the military's anti-range squad, and the rest of the finishing work is the work of the major offices, monks and witches , it has nothing to do with him in the future.

However, even if you don't consider the need to harvest fire seeds, it always sounds weird that you can't stand at the forefront of fighting against the mystery, but hide behind and accept protection.

Let's rest first.

On the other side, the Yuegong family.

Although because the senior questioned the lack of tickets, he temporarily made up some kind of annual membership fee, but Tsukimiya Suzuna quickly realized it.

The third ticket is easy to buy, but if I take the ticket out in front of my seniors at the ticket office at the entrance of the aquarium tomorrow, wouldn't the previous excuse be defeated?

Tsukimiya Suzuna immediately sent a text message to Emon Goro without thinking:

"Uncle Weimon, I need the annual membership of the Thousand Island Aquarium."

"Miss." Emon Goro replied, "Thousand Island Aquarium does not have an annual fee membership service, only a one-month card discount item."

"Then let them do one!"

Chapter 66 An Unbreakable Date

The next morning.

Chen Ziang left the bedroom, helped Chen Xiaozhu wash up, and changed his clothes.

"Sister." He asked, "Do you want to go to the aquarium?"

Chen Xiaozhu tilted his head.

"It's like this." Chen Ziang continued, "Yuegong Suzuna got the tickets for the aquarium and asked if we want to go together."

Before my sister could respond, the door was opened from the outside.

"Senior?" Yuegong Lingna changed her shoes in the hallway, and entered the living room wearing slippers, calling affectionately.

Today's Miss Yuegong put on a sleeveless light-colored dress of the Mori style, revealing two snow-white and smooth arms, and smooth and jade-like calves.

The black hair was tied into two strands with a blue ribbon, and she hung softly on her chest, and she wore a straw hat that shaded the sun. Just looking at it, she had the pure beauty of a summer girl.

However, Chen Ziang was not surprised, but just felt speechless.

This girl's proficiency in coming to my house, why does it seem like she is returning to her own home?
