The Witch's Taste

"Because the speed is different." Chen Ziang replied, "It's like a diver who floats or dives from the deep sea, and has to stop and adapt at intervals, otherwise the body cannot withstand the pressure changes—the same is true for spiritual vision. of."

He took a sip from the teacup and continued to introduce:

"Compared to alienation, invasion refers to the weirdness in the abyss, which comes to the world for some reason."

"I have a question." Suzuna Tsukimiya asked eagerly, "What kind of weirdness will invade the world?"

"You should have heard the analogy of the floating ice." Chen Ziang said seriously, "The abyss is an unfathomable ocean, and the present world is the floating ice on the surface of the sea. The so-called 'spiritual vision' is what we humans call it. In the depths of the abyss."

"Of course, similar to marine life, weirdness also has its own depth of activity. Let's take the ocean as an example. It is impossible for deep-sea anglerfish to appear on the sea surface, but the sardines migrating near the sea surface , but there is a possibility of jumping out of the water."

"Similarly, most of the time, those low-level weirdnesses with an activity depth between 0 and 10 will frequently appear in the present world with a depth of 0."

"I see." Suzuna Tsukimiya nodded and said, "So what we usually deal with are these low-level weirdnesses, right?"

"That's right." Chen Ziang nodded and said, "As for descending the gods..."

He was silent for a while, frowned and said:

"I don't know much about this. I can only say that every ritual that tried to communicate with the gods of the abyss and was successful in the end almost brought about extremely huge disasters."

"Fortunately, it is very difficult to communicate with the gods. Since the gods are located in an extremely deep position in the abyss, it will not only take a long time to establish a connection from this world to the other side, but also various visions will appear in the process , so as long as it is discovered and reacted in time, it is not difficult to stop."

"Then what if, due to various reasons, the séance ceremony was not stopped in the end?" Tsukimiya Suzuna asked curiously.

"Uh." Chen Ziang joked, "Then at least you don't have to worry about being punished by your unit."

Because Jibei City must be destroyed, right... Suzuna Tsukimiya laughed dryly a few times.

"In short, working in Countermeasures Section [-] is definitely very dangerous." Chen Ziang hinted at the right time, "If you want to be more stable, the best choice is of course Wisdom Section [-]. Most of them deal with fraud cases and economic crimes. I don’t have to work much overtime, and it’s easy to achieve results.”

"Then why did you stay in Countermeasures Section [-]?" Tsukimiya Suzuna pretended not to understand, and continued to ask.

"Because..." Chen Ziang was silent for a moment, "My parents were in this line of business before they disappeared. They opened an exorcism office."

Of course, Suzuna Yuegong knew that due to certain ulterior secrets, not everyone would choose to call the police for help after encountering a sudden change.

Hence the emergence of unofficial exorcism groups that handle mutations for inconvenient private clients.Some people are detectives who are willing to do any job, and the other part are monks and witches who seem to be professional counterparts.

"Let's not talk about this." When it came to his parents, Chen Ziang was also a little upset, "It's getting late. Moon Palace, shall I take you back?"

"Oh." Suzuna Yuegong wanted to stay overnight, but she knew better that the traditional seniors would never agree, so she smiled and said, "No, I'll go by myself."

"I'll see you off." Chen Ziang insisted, "It's a small road outside, and the lighting is not very good."

The two put on their shoes, opened the door and went out.

Facing the gate of the house is a path restricted to non-motorized vehicles and a river named "Tone River".

Yuegong Lingna held the small bag in both hands, and walked beside Chen Ziang step by step. Looking at the silver light reflected by the river beside the road, she suddenly said softly:

"The moonlight is so beautiful tonight."

"What?" Chen Ziang didn't hear clearly.

"Let me tell you." Tsukimiya Suzuna turned around briskly, her long hair fluttering with the arc of her turn, like a beautiful paper umbrella stretched out, "The motorway is ahead."

"Senior just send me here!" She said with a smile on her face.

"Yes." Chen Ziang nodded, "Be careful on the road."

Tsukimiya Suzuna waved her hand, then turned and walked away.

She walked six or seven steps, then turned around suddenly, and saw Chen Ziang still staying where he was, as if he would feel relieved when he saw her walking on the brightly lit avenue.

After meeting eyes for a moment, Tsukimiya Suzuna raised her right hand reservedly, waved at him again, indicating that he could go back, and then continued to turn and leave.

Turning the corner and taking a few steps forward, she suddenly turned around again, hid her body behind the wall, and carefully looked out.

Seeing Chen Ziang's back disappearing behind the gate of the courtyard, she withdrew her gaze in a sense of loss, remained silent for a moment, and took out her mobile phone to call a taxi.

Before the taxi driver's call came, the father's call came first:

"Suzuna?"

"Father, are you off work?"

"Well, I heard that you handled a case today, but the Public Security Department refused to share the details..."

"Father, don't worry, I will take care of it." Tsukimiya Suzuna walked briskly in circles, "I have a very good senior to take me."

"Senior?" The mother's voice came from the phone again, she was surprised at first, but soon calmed down again, "If you have time, take it home and have a look, so we can entertain you."

"No need, mother." Tsukimiya Suzuna said with a smile, "He is just an ordinary security officer, there is no need for you to investigate."

"That's good." The father's majestic voice came, "Come back when you get tired of playing. The daughter of our Yuegong family has not been reduced to the point where I need to go down to the grassroots and fight for my life with those rogues..."

His voice was interrupted by the mother next to him. The two seemed to be arguing in a low voice, but they couldn't hear the details.

"It's fine." Tsukimiya Suzuna was still smiling, "Don't worry, I'll hang up."

She hung up the phone, and the smile on her face gradually faded.

My father guessed right, the reason why I joined the six countermeasures class was not because I really wanted to work in this industry.

However, she who already knows the future, and the overall plan conceived in her heart, can't tell anyone around her for the time being.

7.Chapter 7 Have you heard of the witch?

After returning home, Chen Ziang went to the balcony on the second floor, looking at the Ligenchuan River outside.

After thinking for a long time, I called Ms. Hokaze Rio, the information officer of Section [-].

It was already 9 o'clock in the evening, but he was sure that Rio Hokaze was definitely still working overtime in the unit.

"Hello." An indifferent female voice sounded from the receiver.

"Li Xu." Chen Ziang organized his thoughts, "Do you have any more detailed information about the Lord of the Great Deep Sea?"

"Chen Jun." Suifeng Lixu said, "Do you want to transfer to the intelligence team to accompany me as a secret keeper?"

"I don't have that idea yet..."

"The more you know, it's only bad for you, not good."

"Lixu." Chen Ziang said with a sigh, "I just want to know some less harmful information, such as what kind of attitude and tendency it will show when someone uses a séance ritual to communicate with it..."

"Chen Jun, I think you should know that it is meaningless to analyze the attitudes and tendencies of the gods." Rio Hoikaze's voice became more indifferent, "Most of them are like urchins with changeable personalities, and they treat us like ants. Maybe today he is still friendly to you, but tomorrow he might trample you to death."

Seeing that Chen Ziang didn't answer, she sighed quietly and said:

"The Lord of the Great Deep Sea is indeed a very rare god who is not so bad to humans, but it is definitely not a good thing to be targeted by him."

"Curry has 1356 records of séances. About 200 of them, the victim of the initiation ceremony was invited to his divine kingdom, thus falling into a permanent, semi-vegetative coma, and about one-tenth of the People wake up in 30 years."

"All those who woke up showed great disappointment, claiming that the kingdom of God of the Lord of the Deep Sea is 'a beautiful ocean like a dream', 'a beautiful existence like the Garden of Eden', but they didn't know what was inside. The details, and why they left the Kingdom of God and woke up, these victims are extremely uniformly silent, and if they ask too much, they will show strong suicidal tendencies.”

"Sounds like serious mental pollution." Chen Ziang said suspiciously.

"Remove 'sounds' and 'like'." Rio Hokaze said solemnly, "Any thoughts related to gods are tantamount to suicide."

"Having said that, I just finished touching the relics of the gods in the morning, and I started to have such thoughts at night. I suspect that you may also be polluted to a certain extent..."

"Li Xu." Chen Ziang said with a smile, "I'm a senior operator..."

"Tomorrow morning, remember to come to the unit and do a sanity check." Said Rio Hokaze.

"But tomorrow I will take a day off..."

"Then you can come here now."

Chen Ziang: ……………

After hanging up the phone, he began to hesitate again.

Reason told him that Rio Hokaze was right.

The best way to deal with gods is not to deal with gods.

However, emotionally speaking, he couldn't bear the fact that his sister would suffer in the dark for the rest of her life.

Ever since she lost her sight, Chen Xiaozhu, who was originally lively and active, rarely spoke. The hospital diagnosed her as suffering from a severe mental disorder. Almost all famous medical experts were helpless about her condition.

Mental disorders result from the torment of blindness, which itself arises from lesions in the areas of the brain that process vision.At present, the best medical level in Extreme North City has no way to treat this kind of disease. The only hope is to try your luck in the mysterious field.

And to go deep into the mysterious realm, one naturally needs corresponding powerful powers.

Thinking of Xiaozhu, Chen Ziang finally made a decision.

He quickly visualized the ocean, his consciousness began to sink rapidly, and finally came to the lavender ocean under the starry night.

"I want to exchange for the power of 'Dream Walk'." Chen Ziang thought to himself.

The lavender jellyfish clusters that made up the font quickly dispersed, and then formed a staircase leading to the depths of the seabed. Chen Ziang tried it with his feet and found that he could barely stand firm.

He walked down the stairs, and the seductive singing of the siren began to sound around him, as if announcing that he was walking on a road of no return.

But until now, there is no possibility of turning back...

------

Chen Ziang slowly woke up from his sleep.

He rubbed his eyes, and then suddenly remembered that he had finally made up his mind last night to exchange for the power of "dream walking".

The result is that walking on the stairs made up of jellyfish swarms, the deeper you go, the more exhausted your consciousness will be... until you fall into a deep sleep, and when you wake up, you will find that it is the next morning, and you are already in bed .

As for how he changed out of his pajamas and climbed into bed after finishing, his memory was blank.

Chen Ziang closed his eyes, turned his thoughts slightly, and found that the fire in his body had been cleared, and the knowledge of "dream walking" began to flow into his mind.

Traditional scientific theory holds that dreams are the product of human brain activity during sleep.

However, knowledge from the gods told him that dreams were an independent "spiritual world".

between.Among them, the depth of the shallowest preconscious layer is about 2-5, and there is no danger in it, while the deepest level is full of dangers...

No matter whether it was mountains of swords or seas of fire, Chen Ziang was determined to go in and explore.

Of course, before that, you have to check your body.

Taking the section light rail, he arrived in Shinjuku District again, and came to the Jibei City Public Security Department. Chen Ziang walked into the office building dedicated to the Sixth Division of Countermeasures, stepped into a special elevator, and pressed the button on the -6 floor.

The six countermeasures, the large information base, are built on the sixth basement floor, and the security level is comparable to a bank vault.

There are countless cameras all over the passages, and the surveillance equipment even extends to the elevators. If the security officers who are not from the sixth class enter the elevators, even the buttons will not light up.

The six basement floors, where the Intelligence Group is located, are surrounded by a thick layer of concrete.Legend has it that there are tons of explosives hidden behind these concrete walls. Once an irreparable accident occurs, this area that stores a large amount of dangerous knowledge will be buried in the thick depths of the ground.

After Chen Ziang reported at the reception desk at the entrance of the intelligence warehouse, Suifeng Lixu soon came out to lead the people.

The female intelligence officer of Countermeasures Section 30 is a [-]-year-old senior operator.Although she was a rare beauty in terms of facial features, her haggard look and thick dark circles destroyed her own femininity a lot.

Under the white coat is an unusually slender figure, which makes people worry that she might collapse in the wind—maybe this is why she stays underground all year round and refuses to go out.

"Lie down on the operating table." Arriving in her private office, Rio Hokaze sat directly in front of the computer and began typing on the keyboard, "You don't need me to teach you, do you?"

"No need." Chen Ziang lay down on the bed, put on the special helmet again, and closed his eyes.

"The sanity is very stable, there is no fluctuation." After operating the instrument for a while, Honokaze quickly got the result, "There is no sign of contamination."

"I've said it all." Chen Ziang said helplessly, "I'm just curious."

"Who knows, the instrument is not 100% accurate." Rio Hokaze said indifferently, "The spiritual vision has risen to 13, remember to control it."

"Do your best." Chen Ziang said with a wry smile.

But the thing of spiritual vision, as long as it comes into contact with mysterious things, it will continue to rise, and it is not something that can be controlled if you want to control it.

"That's right." Just as he was about to leave, Rio Hokaze, who was staring at the computer screen, said suddenly, "The source of the 'Lord of the Great Deep Sea' statue has been confirmed last time in Ginza Sky."

"Chen Ziang, have you heard of a witch?"

Chapter 8 The Multilayered Dream World

"A witch refers to a special woman who has suffered extreme pain and tortured and thus has a connection with the gods of the abyss."

Rio Hokaze stared at the computer screen, kept turning the scroll wheel of the mouse with his fingers, and said in an indifferent and ethereal voice:

"Although the specific mechanism is still unclear, this connection is considered to be some kind of transaction: the witch provides a huge amount of painful emotions, and the abyss gods give back power, so that the witch can obtain supernatural power far beyond ordinary people."

Chen Ziang was shocked: Why does this mechanism sound so familiar?
