Then let the witch offer her loyalty

Then let the witch offer her loyalty

Author: Mo Xiang Shuang Yu

Summary:

"Chen Moxin, your recent beastly behavior towards the witch is considered too radical by those conservative members of parliament."

“Only conservatives criticize me, which means I’m not radical enough.”

"In fact, the radicals are all cursing you too."

"Radicals scold me because I'm too conservative."

"It's not just our country, governments around the world are scolding you."

"Those are the empire's enemies. Even the enemies are scolding me, which only proves that I'm on the right track. I can be more radical!"

......

In the first year of the Long Night, women in the world began to awaken their psychic powers and were called "witches."

When a witch overuses her psychic powers, a mental force field called "madness" will erupt from her body, driving the people around her into madness.

In order to curb the disaster of madness, the Rose Empire established the "Witch Management Bureau" to specifically accommodate witches in the territory.

Many years later, Chen Moxin, the chief witch hunter of the Administration and known as "the rising sun of the east", ascended to the highest throne of the empire and announced to the world:

"Witch, you must collect it at any time. You can't not collect it!"

"All witches in this mortal world must pledge loyalty to the empire!"

Chapter 1 What's the relationship between your system and that pink app?

The witch is the culprit behind the madness and disaster, and also the source of spiritual power.

Hunt down the witch, leaving her nowhere to hide in the shadows.

[Take in witches and bring them to your side]

Tame witches and become their loyal master.

The interrogation room was dimly lit and closed. Chen Moxin opened her eyes in a daze and saw words flashing before her eyes like a countdown from the ghost of Zhizi.

He subconsciously turned his head to look at the single-lens reflex mirror on the wall next to him, and saw a beautiful young man with delicate features and jewel-like amber eyes reflected in the mirror.

That's not his face.

"Hiss..." With a series of tearing pains in her head, memories of her past life flooded back like a tidal wave.

He was originally a game streamer, and his signature hero was "Demon Jester".

Clown players like him are all cheerful and sunny young men.

That day, he had just finished a ranked match when he saw his opponent send him a heartfelt compliment on the results screen:

[Clown, I'll kill your horse!]

[You're a twisted newborn, aren't you? You really enjoy plotting against people.]

He also replied with two friendly words:

【whee】

I turned off the computer and went to bed. When I opened and closed my eyes, I woke up to this place, with those strange, shimmering characters in front of me.

If nothing unexpected happens, it seems like something unexpected did occur.

He transmigrated, and he came with a system.

As consciousness continued to merge, the memories of the original body began to emerge.

His name is Chen Moxin, he is 21 years old, a citizen of the Twin Cities of the "Rose Empire", and a senior psychology major.

This was originally a technologically advanced and thriving world, but since 60 years ago, when it was called the "Year One of the Long Night," the phenomenon of "psychic awakening" has appeared worldwide.

So-called psychic power is a kind of extraordinary power that can distort the laws of reality, such as supernatural vision, elemental control, and the energy field of thought.

For unknown reasons, psychic awakening only occurs in women, and these women with extraordinary powers are later collectively referred to as "witches" by countries around the world.

Later research revealed that when witches used psychic powers, their bodies would be eroded by some kind of abnormal energy.

When this erosion crosses the critical point, the witch will unleash a bizarre and invisible spiritual force field, driving the surrounding humans into madness.

Those affected will become extremely bloodthirsty, lustful, and may even experience physical mutations.

This catastrophic phenomenon caused by a witch was named "Madness".

In order to curb the madness and disaster caused by psychic energy, the Rose Empire established the "Witch Administration Bureau" to specifically contain and control the awakened witches within its borders.

As for him, Chen Moxin, he applied for and joined the Twin Cities Witch Management Bureau during his senior year of college, but due to failing the civil service exam, he is currently only an unofficial employee, temporarily serving in the 9th team of the "Special Investigation Division 7".

At this moment, Luo Shoucheng, the team leader next to Chen Moxin, spoke up. He said seriously to the woman opposite him, "Liu Lan, you should be very clear that the witch's excessive use of spiritual energy will trigger a mad disaster."

"Although you and your fiancé Zhang Hao have entered into a 'spiritual pact,' making him your 'proxy,' which can suppress the corruption to some extent, there is still a possibility that your madness will erupt."

"As a citizen of the Empire, you have an obligation to break your spiritual contract with Zhang Hao and cooperate with us in containment and control."

Chen Moxin looked at the woman on the interrogation chair opposite her.

She was a very charming classical beauty, wearing a white cheongsam with blue and white porcelain patterns, her long legs covered in slightly sheer black stockings, the winding curves extending into her black and red high heels.

The woman in the cheongsam named "Liu Lan" remained silent, her face as cold as ice.

The "spirit contract" that Luo Shoucheng just mentioned is a special ability of witches.

All witches who have awakened their spiritual powers can form an invisible spiritual bond with men, known as a "spiritual pact."

After establishing a spiritual pact, those of the opposite sex can obtain the same spiritual power as the witch.

At the same time, the witch's tolerance to madness will be greatly increased, making it less likely for madness to erupt.

These individuals of the opposite sex who form a spiritual pact with a witch are also known as the witch's "proxy".

Since the Spirit Pact originates entirely from the spiritual realm and has no technical limitations, any witch can complete it.

Therefore, a phenomenon has emerged in society—after witches awaken their psychic powers, they do not report to the management bureau, but instead privately form psychic contracts with men of the opposite sex, and then both parties begin to secretly use their psychic powers.

Some people were fine; they used their psionic powers cautiously and nothing bad happened.

Some people are like drug addicts; they start by using only a little bit, and once they taste the benefits, they feel incredibly good and start using their psychic powers more and more frequently.

Later, the corruption within the witch's body exceeded the limits that the spiritual contract could suppress, causing a violent outburst that led to severe social unrest.

At this moment, the words flashing before Chen Moxin's eyes began to change:

[Currently unlocked basic abilities of the Witch Lord system - Analysis]

[Analysis: Making a judgment on a specific target]

When using the ability to discern, the host must be directly facing the target and know the target's real name.

If the opponent is a witch, the mission is successful and the next quest will be unlocked.

If the determination fails, there will be no effect.

If the target name is false, the attempt will also fail.

Regardless of whether the analysis is successful, this ability has a 720-hour cooldown period.

Chen Moxin put aside her distracting thoughts and carefully read the words in front of her.

Judging from the content, the conditions for using the ability to "discern" are very demanding.

In the Rose Empire, witches are generally divided into three types: unknown, known fugitives, and those contained by the Administration.

The condition for triggering "analysis" is to confront the target directly and know its true name.

For ordinary people, it is difficult to directly encounter a witch in their daily lives and obtain information about her.

However, Chen Moxin works in the Administration Bureau, which gives her a professional advantage in this regard.

For example, right now, he is openly confronting a witch, and he has all the information about her, including her name.

The sooner you use a skill, the sooner it will cool down; you might as well try it out first.

Chen Moxin looked at Liu Lan and called out in her mind: "Use the ability to discern on Liu Lan."

Soon, other people and objects in sight began to fade and turn gray, but Liu Lan retained her original color and became the visual center of attention.

[Target for analysis: Liu Lan]

【Are you sure? 】

"determine."

After a brief silence, the panel flashed.

The text before my eyes distorted and changed, and lines of prompts appeared:

[Target confirmed as witch, identification successful]

[The exclusive quest for the witch "Liu Lan" has begun]

The Bureau successfully captured a fugitive witch and interrogated her for a considerable period of time, but the target remained silent, resisting the interrogation with endless silence.

As time goes on, this interrogation will become increasingly lengthy, and someone will need to break the deadlock.

[Current task: Break Liu Lan's silence and get her to speak]

[Task Reward: Implant "Mind Intervention - Beginning" into Liu Lan]

[Mental Intervention - Beginning: Imprints an imprint on the target's subconscious, creating a psychological impact. The target will have a natural affinity for the host, feeling friendly and close, and will not easily feel aversion towards the host's behavior.]

puff.

Chen Moxin was amused when she saw the mission reward.

What the hell?

This kind of ability seems to appear frequently on a certain pink-themed app.

Are all systems this unconventional these days?

Chapter 2, tell me if you've opened your mouth or not.

Chen Moxin closed the system panel and looked at Liu Lan, who had a cold expression on her face.

The task is to break Liu Lan's silence and get her to speak.

However, Liu Lan's current attitude is one of non-cooperation. Luo Shoucheng has been interrogating her for several hours, but she has not said a word and shows no signs of softening her stance.

If Chen Moxin were a formal operator, she would have time to slowly wear down Liu Lan.

But he was just a lowly, unofficial agent in the bureau, and originally he wasn't qualified to participate in the witch's interrogation.

The reason we are sitting here now is because one of the official operators in the group has fallen ill and we are short-handed, so the group leader, Luo Shoucheng, asked him, an unofficial operator, to come and fill in for us.

Once the official agent returns, Chen Moxin will have to go back to her unofficial post. At that time, she will no longer be able to approach Liu Lan at will, and completing the mission will be more difficult.

Time was of the essence for him.

Break the silence, speak up...

say...

Chen Moxin recalled the mission requirements.

Suddenly, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The task is simply to speak; there are no requirements regarding the content.

So, you can let her say whatever she wants, right?

...

"Liu Lan, there's no point in you keeping your head down like this. You need to say something and communicate with us properly, anything is fine."

Luo Shoucheng appeared calm on the surface, but inwardly he was already somewhat agitated.
