The Witch's Taste

Page 77

So that's the case, no wonder she never liked meetings and writing weekly reports... Chen Ziang asked again:

"Then if she gets angry and scolds, how should she deal with it?"

"Don't pay attention to it." Xia Zili said consolingly, "My sister has a knife mouth and a bean curd heart. Although she refuses to forgive others, she may not have a bad feeling for you in her heart."

"But she scolded too badly, and she lost face. What should I do?" Chen Ziang said with a wry smile, "Is there any way to express dissatisfaction tactfully without offending her?"

"Well, I can understand..." Xia Zili murmured, "Why don't you try to cater to me."

"How to cater?" Chen Ziang asked puzzled.

"No matter what she calls you, you always say 'right'?"

141. Chapter 140 Sneak attack and accident

Although when they first met, Xia Zili was still a little polite and courteous.

But as the two get to know each other gradually, you will find that she is actually a very easy-going and friendly girl, without any airs of a big star at all-even easier to talk to than most ordinary people.

"Actually, the race of elves can be divided into five branches." Xia Zili sat on the sofa and explained enthusiastically, "Of course humans may think that they all look the same."

"The five branches are high elves, wood elves, wild elves, snow elves, and dark elves. They have different languages and cultures, and they can be roughly distinguished from each other in terms of appearance and characteristics."

"High elves have blond hair and blue eyes, wood elves have red hair and freckles, wild elves have black hair and like to cuddle, snow elves are used to cold and brutal, dark elves have hooked noses and are good at calculating... of course There are some stereotypes, but it's pretty much the same overall."

"Is it really that simple?" Chen Ziang said with a smile, "I can identify race by looking at hair and habits?"

"If the blood has been mixed for many generations, it may not be easy to distinguish." Xia Zili replied, "By the way, don't humans have similar sayings? For example, the Lu tribe, the Island tribe and so on."

"Well, but we all look similar here, the main reason is the cultural difference." Chen Ziang replied, "The same stereotypes: the Lu people advocate authority and honor, the island people are tolerant and cunning, the mountain people are violent and short-sighted, and the marsh people The Lu tribe is primitive and ignorant. It’s just because the empire has implemented a unified policy, and everyone takes the Lu tribe as an example, so the habits of the various tribes are basically converging.”

"For example, if you look at the Gaotianyuan Star District, more than [-]% of them are island tribes, right? But everyone speaks Lu tribe language and writes Lu tribe characters. It's also hard to tell."

"Perhaps it is because all human races have similar appearances that they are very sensitive to the looks of other races." Xia Zili said with a wry smile, "I remember that no matter where I went, everyone would stare at my blond hair and pointed ears, making me feel like I'm a stranger. I feel like an outlier."

"So in order to get rid of this 'foreign attention', you have to take another path full of fame and fortune." Chen Ziang joked, "No matter where you go now, no one will stare at your hair and ears, They just rushed over to ask for autographs and photos."

"If I had known this, I wouldn't have made music." Xia Zili said depressedly, "Now even if I go to a convenience store, I will be recognized by people, so I can only order takeaway."

"Order takeaway?" Chen Ziang asked puzzled, "Really, don't you have a butler and servants in your house?"

"Hey, you've been to my house!" Xia Zili said coquettishly, "I'm not some nobleman!"

For some reason, the second half of her sentence seemed a little guilty, but Chen Ziang didn't think too much about it, and was about to continue teasing the big star when he suddenly heard the sound of smashing glass windows from outside.

The direction of the sound...is the kitchen?

Chen Ziang stood up quickly and rushed to the door of the kitchen, just in time to see another stone smashed through the glass and flew in.

"Lu people, get out of Gaotianyuan!" Sporadic shouts came from outside.

Chen Ziang:? ? ? ! ! !

Damn, just now you were giving half-elf science about the unification of our human race, and now you are making trouble for me here?

"Stay inside, don't move around." He quickly came to the entrance of the hall, and told Xia Zili, "I'll go out and have a look."

"Be careful." Xia Zili said worriedly.

"Don't worry." Chen Ziang patted the gun on his waist.

Firearms are not very effective in killing monsters, so when he used to fight against monsters, he liked to use the Datura sword more.

But for humans...a long sword hanging around your waist is not deterrent, but even if you don't have to fire a gun, it can deter many gangsters with malicious intentions.

Pushing open the door, Chen Ziang came outside quietly, and saw a few unscrupulous young people laughing around the wall of his courtyard.

They appeared to be drunk, as discarded wine bottles were scattered around and several of them were bent over the ground looking for rocks.

Chen Ziang quickly counted the number of people, five, not too many, the key is to scare them away as soon as possible.

If the other party reacts and wants to use the advantage of numbers to resist, then he has to use his gun... As long as he shoots, no matter whether he hits someone or not, the seriousness of the matter will rise by a level.

So try to be as bloodless as possible.

He suddenly rushed out from his hiding place, and quickly raised his leg to kick the nearest young man.

The physical fitness strengthened by fire, as well as the experience of fighting weird all the year round, made ordinary adults not his opponents at all.

The bad young man caught off guard received a straight kick in the chest, and flew out before he could scream.

With this kick, Chen Zi'ang stopped his forward rush, and turned back with another straight punch, hitting the No.2 gangster next to him again.

The power of the straight punch is far inferior to that of the kick, so it only made the opponent stagger, and the remaining three people also reacted one after another. One of them tried to block his way around the back, and the other two quickly stepped forward from left to right. They yelled insults in dialects such as "Tie Baa" and "Xinai".

Chen Ziang drew a pistol from his waist.

The moment the pistol appeared, the scene suddenly fell silent.

Except for the gangster who was kicked out at the beginning and is now lying on the ground, the rest of the people showed a frightened and timid expression, as if a pack of wolves rushed into the abandoned sheep pen to commit violence, but saw a tiger crouching in the sheep pen like...

"Get out!" Chen Ziang yelled angrily, and flipped open the insurance.

However, the three gangsters in front did not turn around and flee immediately, but raised their hands high, backed away slowly, and stared at him without blinking.

This is a very bad sign, which means that the people on the opposite side have not really lost their courage to fight, and they seem to be still confirming the authenticity of the guns in his hands.

Of course, as long as Chen Ziang pulls the trigger, the hooligans will disperse, but the gunshots will startle and even scare the neighbors, and they will have to report "why the shooting" to the Public Security Department later - things will become very troublesome .

Therefore, Chen Ziang just maintained the posture of raising the gun, and shouted sharply:

"Go back!"

The three of them were still slowly retreating, their expressions seemed to be still frightened, but they seemed to be waiting for something.

"Be careful!" Xia Zili suddenly shouted from behind.

There was a strong wind coming from behind his head, Chen Ziang didn't even think about it, he subconsciously stepped forward, a thought suddenly flashed in his mind.

Five people, three in front, one on the ground, where is the other one?

Before he turned around to confirm the situation, the sneak attack behind him did not land as expected, but a violent scream came from instead.

Chen Ziang took the opportunity to rush another distance, and then turned around like lightning.

Then he saw the bastard who was trying to sneak up on him from behind, still holding the broken glass wine bottle in his right hand, his face was full of fear and...pain?

Because the opponent's lower body has been swallowed by the monster.

The shape of the monster is quite grotesque, the lower body is thick thighs and hooves like cattle and sheep, the upper body is like countless octopus-like tentacles, and the center of the body is a hideous giant mouth, which is wriggling and swallowing the struggling gangster. , still relying on how he stabbed and struggled with the broken mouth of the wine bottle, his movements did not stop at all.

Behind the monster was Xia Zili who was at a loss.

She still maintains the posture of ordering the monster to "save him", with her right arm raised and pointed straight ahead, but her exquisite and beautiful face is also full of shock and horror at this time.

142. Chapter 141 Soothing Emotions

With his rich experience in dealing with abnormal changes, Chen Ziang could see what happened at a glance.

The guy who was hit in the chest by his punch picked up the broken glass wine bottle from the ground, trying to sneak attack him from behind.

Then, in order to help, Xia Zili summoned some kind of... weirdness.

Her original order was undoubtedly to have Wei Wei stop the gangster who was attacking her, but she didn't realize that the instructions given to Wei Wei must be precise and detailed enough.

Or maybe just a simple "stop him".

Wei Wei had not received legal and moral education, so naturally he would not have the idea of "killing as a last resort", so he directly came to a whale siphon and ate the gangster who sneaked up on him.

The rest of the gangsters were already running away in fright, and Chen Ziang couldn't stop them, so he quickly dialed the phone:

"Rio, are you home?"

"At work." Rio Hokaze replied, "Say?"

"There was a change in front of my house, and the four witnesses ran away." Chen Ziang said succinctly, "The intelligence department adjusted the nearby surveillance, and made up for the memory cleansing."

"Okay." Hoifeng Lixu paused for a moment, then said suddenly, "You'd better not go out tonight."

"What's wrong?" Chen Ziang asked with a frown.

"Someone is instigating the crowd to make trouble." Rio Hoikaze replied, "There are too many people, and some lawbreakers took the opportunity to make trouble, and several shopping streets were smashed."

"Understood." Chen Ziang nodded.

He hung up the phone, then looked around quickly.

The Ligenchuan Road facing my house is a riverside sidewalk, and there are no city cameras installed, but no matter which direction those gangsters run, they will enter the city road area covered by cameras, so the intelligence department will find them sooner or later, but as long as you Not to mention, no one would know that Xia Zili summoned the strange thing.

Unless those four people confessed in the intelligence class and revealed the truth... When they are caught later, they have to talk to Li Xu again.

Of course, what is more important now is to appease Xia Zili's emotions.

The strangeness of the goat's hoof tentacles has disappeared, and there is no body left at the scene, only mottled and dirty bloodstains.

Xia Zili was lying on the ground, her body trembling and convulsing from fright, and she was still vomiting uncontrollably.

Chen Ziang could only come to her, pat her on the back lightly, thinking to himself that someone would vomit after accidentally killing someone—I thought it was just an artistic fantasy in literature.

When her mood stabilized a bit, Chen Ziang held her arm and took her home to rest temporarily.

At this moment, Xia Zili's expression was too embarrassing: her eyes were swollen and red, her hair was messy and covered with sweat on her forehead, her lips were trembling uncontrollably, and her chest was also heaving in a mess. It was obvious that she had been greatly injured. The mental stimulation caused Chen Ziang to ask what the weirdness was just now, so he could only let her sit on the sofa first, and then go to the kitchen to pour her a cup of hot milk.

The glass on the right half of the kitchen window has been shattered, and the murderer is lying on the floor, a stone the size of a palm; although the left half of the window is not broken, there are already traces of radiation like spider webs.

Chen Ziang used a chopping board for cutting vegetables to block the hole in the window, and used stones to prop it up behind to prevent it from falling over.

Then I washed my hands, took a clean cup, poured hot milk, and heated it in the microwave.

When he returned to the living room with the hot milk, he saw Xia Zili crying in his arms holding Chen Xiaozhu... It seemed familiar.

Chen Ziang was speechless: If you don't have anything to do, go to my sister, okay?

"Come and drink some milk." He handed the milk to Xia Zili.

The latter sat pitifully on the floor, holding the cup in a daze, and suddenly said in a trance:

"Before arresting me, can I speak to Sister Ji Xiang first?"

"Why are you arrested?" Chen Ziang asked in surprise.

"Because..." Xia Zili showed a painful expression, closed her eyes, and said with a sob, "I killed someone."

"Are you sure?" Chen Ziang said in surprise, "I witnessed it with my own eyes. The murderer has neither blond hair nor pointed ears, but a monster."

"That monster is called 'baa-baa'." Xia Zili whispered, "I released it."

"Oh." Chen Ziang tried to enlighten her, "So you gave it a name, trying to designate it as your pet, and take responsibility for its hurtful behavior."

"But legally speaking, I don't think this kind of monster can be 'domesticated', and naturally it cannot be anyone's pet."

"For example, if a wolf is following you and it kills a passerby. In this case, you are not criminally responsible."

"It's different." Xia Zili was still shaking her head, tears came from her eyes again, her voice became more trembling and uncontrollable, "Baa baa it... it obeyed my command to kill that person! I'm sure! I killed him!"

Chen Ziang also had a headache, why does this girl accept death so much? !

Of course, he himself was entangled in procedural justice, but he forgot that "protecting more people" is actually more important to him.

So he held down Xia Zili's trembling shoulders, turned the girl who was on the verge of collapse to face him, and said in a calm and forceful tone:

"Calm down, Xia Zili! Take a deep breath with me first."

"Breathe—"

"Exhale."

"How is it now?"

"I'm feeling better." Xia Zili said tremblingly.

"Very good." Chen Ziang said earnestly, "Now, tell me: why did you save me?"

"Because, that, that person..." Xia Zili obviously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said nervously, "He wants to try to attack you."

"What would have happened if you hadn't made a move?" Chen Ziang asked again.

"You... you're going to get hurt."
