The Witch's Taste

"Of course." Sarah Hek said, "With your current depth in the abyss and the power involved, it is of course impossible to control an incarnation of a god. Our family does not intend to hold you accountable for this."

"In short, the incarnation of the god has brought us a lot of trouble. Although he has been exiled from the dying state, the countless bodies he once swallowed here have evolved into more troublesome existences in this world .”

"Solve that trouble for my family, and I can convey your achievements and please the Mother God, and let you obtain the identity authority of the blood-stained pin, so that you can become a part of our flesh and blood camp... In short, you can think about it slowly, when It's not too late to give me an answer."

Having said that, Sarah Heke suddenly let out a strange laugh:

"If you successfully join our flesh and blood camp, we can talk about the second thing."

"Takano Seiko, the enemy you are dealing with now, is the witch of the drowned man's lair."

"The nest of the drowned belongs to the group of gods called 'the drowned'. They are keen to create a large number of living dead and turn them into ambiguous existences that are neither alive nor dead, and this is something my lord cannot tolerate .”

"As long as you can get rid of this witch from the Lair of the Drowned, my lord is willing to issue a corresponding war mission and reward you with 2000 points of faction merit."

Chen Ziang pondered for a moment, and based on what he had seen and heard before, he probably understood the hostility of the king of ghouls towards the nest of the drowned.

According to what Sarah Hek said before, the "corpse" in the eyes of ghouls is to completely free the spirit from the decaying flesh and bring them to eternal death and sleep.

However, the Nest of the Drowned is keen on creating "living dead", but it traps the spirituality in the half-decayed corpses, so the two sides have essential conflicts and oppositions in terms of beliefs.

In addition, the camps of the two sides are not consistent, so the King of Ghouls intends to follow the example of the Lord of the Great Deep Sea and assign him a war mission, so that he can add obstacles to the nest of the drowned.

To be honest, 2000 points of merit are really tempting, and the merit obtained after killing Xichuan Meihui before has already spent more than half of it...

But will this lead to enmity between himself and the god, the Nest of the Drowned?

"I understand." Since the other party said, "I can give you an answer anytime," Chen Zi'ang showed an ambiguous gesture, and said hesitantly, "I'll answer you after I've made a decision."

"Okay, please give me the blood-stained pin." Sarah Hek stretched out his hand and said.

He took the blood-stained pin given by Chen Ziang, pointed the scepter in his right hand at it, and whispered a long, obscure, vicious incantation.

Soon, a gleam of light flashed on the surface of the blood-stained pin, and black spots appeared inside, which seemed to be traces of some kind of dirty blood.

"Take it and teleport to the Dying Realm." Sarah Hek's voice was a little hoarse, as if the spell just now consumed a lot of his strength, "As long as you visualize Zubasa in your heart, you can be teleported here. "

150. Chapter 149 Mother’s Advice

After bidding farewell to Sarah Hek, Chen Ziang activated his dying breath and left this strange world of "dying spirituality".

Returning to reality again, he reappeared on the second floor of his house.He took out his phone to confirm the time, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.

The flow of time in different worlds is quite different. For example, the time in the dream world passes much faster than outside—many people who strayed into the dream world wandered spiritually in the dream for a long time. After returning to reality, they found that It didn't take long at all.

The Dying Realm seems to be just the opposite, because it is a temporary spiritual place for dying people, so time is slower than reality.It's like a fatally injured person who wakes up from a coma and realizes that several days (sometimes even longer) have passed, but it doesn't feel that long.

So he quickly sent text messages to three women, Yuegong Lingnai, Xia Qingyu and Xia Zili.

The message to Tsukimiya Suzuna briefly explained what she saw and heard in the dying state, the attitude of the ghouls eager to seek cooperation, and the two tasks they proposed.

After waiting for a long time, there was no reply from Suzuna.

Chen Ziang felt very strange, because the girl sent her messages before, and basically replied in seconds... Considering that the matter was more important, he decided to make a phone call.

The call was made, but the result was that "the user you dialed is not in the service area".

How strange.Nowadays, most of the surface of the plateau planet has signal coverage. There are only three possibilities to let the mobile phone signal leave the service area: very deep underground, outside the atmosphere, and where there is signal shielding equipment.

Now that there is no way to contact her, Chen Ziang can only continue to send messages to Xia Qingyu, the content is roughly that he has returned safely and can go to work tomorrow.

"Okay." Xia Qingyu's reply was also very simple, only one word.

Chen Ziang clicked on Xia Zili's chat interface again, and was about to type when he heard the sound of the door opening outside.

He raised his head, and saw Xia Zili closing the door, putting his hand on his slippers, and holding a bag of something in his other hand.

Then she raised her gaze, and the two looked at each other, and the atmosphere seemed a little awkward.

"Uh, Xia Zili." Chen Ziang tried to break the atmosphere, and said with a smile, "Thank you for agreeing to help take care of my sister yesterday. Fortunately, I came back in time, so I didn't cause you too much trouble, right?"

"No." Xia Zili quickly waved her hands, "I just brought her breakfast and lunch."

She put the plastic bag in her hand on the table, which contained a box of strawberry cake.

My younger sister loves strawberry cake, of course Chen Ziang knows about it, but he is not sure if he has mentioned it to Xia Zili.

If not, there is only one explanation: Xiao Zhu told her by herself.

Reminiscent of his younger sister who appointed Xia Zili to take care of her, Chen Ziang couldn't help crying in his heart:

Sister, it is said that her daughter's elbows are turned outward, why is this younger sister also extroverted?Usually he likes to ignore me, but he is easy to talk to Yuegong Suzuna and Xia Zili, right?

Seeing that Chen Ziang's expression was obviously wrong, and Xia Zili was also slightly disappointed for no reason, he forced a smile and said:

"Now that you're back, I'm leaving."

"Why don't you stay and have a meal." Chen Ziang subconsciously said, "Thank you very much."

"Have afternoon tea?" Xia Zili thought for a while, "That's fine, I just brought a cake."

She put the cake on the table, set the knife and fork and the dinner plate.Chen Ziang pulled out a chair for her, and helped her younger sister to sit down.

The three of them started to eat cakes, and Chen Ziang took the initiative to find a topic for chatting and asked:

"Is your business going well recently?"

"It's okay." Xia Zili said annoyed, "How can it be considered smooth?"

"Looking at it from an outsider's point of view." Chen Ziang said thoughtfully, "If there are no gossips and no decline in popularity, even if the career is developing smoothly."

"That's not the case." Xia Zili was amused by him, "You misunderstood. In our line of business, exposing scandals is the only way to increase popularity."

"Why?" Chen Ziang had also heard similar arguments, but he really didn't know the reason, so he humbly asked for advice.

"Because the essence of Internet competition is the competition for users' attention and time." Xia Zili skillfully explained, "Users are bombarded with all kinds of information every day, and it is easy to forget any celebrity. , so black material, as relatively explosive news, can quickly grab the attention of most people."

"But won't black material damage the star's reputation?" Chen Ziang asked puzzled, "Even if it can attract attention, it will mostly have a negative impact."

"It depends on the situation." Xia Zili replied, "If the brokerage company deliberately hypes it up, it will usually release some innocuous black material, such as having an affair with someone... I will explain it later. It's okay if it's clear."

"Of course, there are still some small stars who are relatively low-end. They may not behave very well and have exposed a lot of scandals, so it doesn't matter if they continue to reveal more scandals to attract heat. After all, the original fans are already After the second screening, it is difficult to remove the powder because of the new black material, but there may be new powder after the heat increases, maybe it does.”

Listening to Xia Zili's eloquence, Chen Ziang suddenly remembered the Democratic Pioneer Party "party stick" Iwata Qingchuan who brazenly brought up taboo topics at the debate meeting.

Now the Department of Public Security has been ordered by its superiors to find out a lot of his black material, and use it to retaliate against his reputation-but is it really useful?

As Xia Zili said, people who are stupid enough to trust the Democratic First Party may not have a very high IQ, and they will release all black material about the Democratic First Party as a propaganda machine of the British Party rumors.

Because of this, no matter how many illegal deeds of Iwata Qingchuan are found by the Public Security Bureau, at best, it can only make people who don't like him dislike him even more, but for his hardcore voters and voters, I'm afraid the impact will be minimal. .

"I'm full." Xia Zili stood up and said apologetically, "There is still a commercial performance tonight, so I have to leave early."

"I'll see you off." Chen Ziang said hastily.

Leaving the house, there is the Tonegawa River and the sidewalk along the river outside. The two walked side by side, and it seemed that there was nothing to talk about.

Of course, if Suzuna Yuegong was here, she would be very skillful in finding various topics to talk about and liven up the atmosphere, but Xia Zili did not have such social skills.

Usually, even on variety shows, she would answer whatever the host and guests asked.If you don't ask, she just sits quietly - of course, with her popularity, no show dares to ask her to just "sit" as a guest.

At this moment, Chen Ziang beside him didn't speak, and Xia Zili was also a little embarrassed, and wanted to find some topics to talk about, but it was too abrupt when he thought about it, and it was too boring when he thought about it, and there was no way to express the thousands of thoughts in his mind , seeing that this trail was about to reach its end, and there was a busy road outside, she couldn't help feeling more and more anxious.

The phantom of the mother slowly emerged from the side, and with her forward speed, it floated above the river.

Xia Zili signaled from the corner of her eye, thinking in her heart:

"Mother! What should I do?"

"Hold him directly." The mother said in a mysterious voice that only she could hear, "and then kiss him."

"Finally, before he could react, he left without looking back."

151.Chapter 150 Big Ship

Just hug him and kiss him?

Then turn around and run?

This... how could this be possible!

Just thinking of such a scene, Xia Zili's face began to turn red hot.

If you use the common expression technique in anime, it seems that steam is about to be ejected from her ears and neck at this time, almost like a siren.

Chen Ziang noticed that her expression was very strange, and asked with concern:

"What's wrong? Not feeling well?"

"Yeah." Xia Zili subconsciously pulled the collar to let the wind out, "It's a bit hot."

"Is it hot?" Chen Ziang asked puzzled.Why didn't I feel it?

However, people's physical senses are inherently different, so he didn't take it to heart, and said casually:

"Then you'd better stay away from the river. The Tone River is a branch of the Tianlong River that flows out of the hot lake. It stands to reason that the heat should have evaporated almost, but sometimes the water temperature is indeed abnormal."

"It's so strange." Xia Zili said quietly.

She actually didn't understand that since the first meeting, the relationship between herself and Chen Ziang seemed to have heated up a little too fast.

In the beginning, it was some kind of unreasonable and inexplicable familiarity, which she never understood.

But what bothers her now is another thing: staying by Chen Ziang's side gives her an inexplicable sense of comfort and peace of mind.

There was nothing about the other party's appearance, character, speech, and behavior that would make her feel even the slightest bit uncomfortable.The two are like a jigsaw puzzle that just fits together, they can be precisely and seamlessly put together, and they are like a partner made in heaven...

Thinking of this, Xia Zili felt unspeakably shy and dazed.

She wasn't sure if it was love at first sight, but she really wanted to become better friends with Chen Ziang, and even stay by his side for a while...

Even if just for a moment...

The two arrived at the end of Ligenchuan Road, Xia Zili looked at the passing vehicles and did not speak.

The wind blowing from the passing car stirred her skirt and blonde hair, reminiscent of sunflowers swaying in the wind in a field—both are equally mesmerizingly gorgeous.

Looking at her beautiful silhouette, Chen Ziang couldn't help feeling a little charming in his heart, which is the yearning and desire for a beautiful opposite sex in the primitive instinct of human beings.

But after all, he felt that this was a little inappropriate, so he suppressed the strange emotions in his heart and asked:

"Did you call your agent and ask her to pick you up?"

"Not yet." Xia Zili replied.

Chen Ziang:?

Xia Zili lowered her head and started pretending to contact her manager, but she was actually delaying time carefully.

Unexpectedly, the phone screen suddenly lit up, and it was Hoshino Norika who called.

There was no other way, Chen Ziang was watching by his side, and Xia Zili could only answer the call.

"Maki, where did you go!" Hoshino Norika complained loudly from the other side of the phone, "There is still a commercial performance tonight! It's very important! You know that the partner called me and said that you can't be found in the dressing room What kind of mood did I feel when I was here!"

"Sorry, Miss Ji Xiang..." Xia Zili could only smile apologetically.

"I complained to my boss when my cooperation was not good enough." Hoshino Norika sighed, "I stopped you this time. Anyway... come back soon."

Xia Zili hung up with a dejected expression, and Chen Ziang felt a little bit sorry for being beside her. After all, he asked her to take care of his younger sister, which caused her to be blamed by her manager for absenteeism.

"That..." He was about to say something, but Xia Zili had already guessed what he meant, and quickly comforted him:

"This is not your problem. In fact, I have been too busy with work recently, and the strings in my mind are too tense. Even if I didn't come to take care of your sister, I planned to find a place to hide and rest..."

Before she finished speaking, she saw a female voice suddenly shouting from across the road:

"Wait, isn't that Kiritani Maki?"

"It's really Kiritani Maki! My God!! My whole family is pushing her!!!"

Xia Zili shuddered, quickly pulled up her collar to cover her face, shouted "I have to go", then quickly turned and ran away.

But the passers-by on the opposite side were not fooled by her. Chen Ziang clearly saw two fan girls stepping across the road with their thighs diagonally, chasing after Xia Zili aggressively.Those who know are fans chasing stars, but those who don't know think it's the creditors demanding debts!

Chen Ziang observed carefully, and soon, relying on the rich experience of criminal investigators, he concluded that it was impossible for the two of them to catch up with Xia Zili's speed...but the camera function of the mobile phone could.

If I rushed over to help rashly, and someone photographed "Maki Kiritani dating a mysterious man" or something, it would probably become her black material, which would be bad.

Wait, I remember she seemed to say, "Innocuous smut is good for stars"?
