Then let the witch offer her loyalty

Occasionally, a few drops of milk would accidentally spill from the corner of his lips. Chen Moxin would gently wipe them away with his thumb, while Liu Lan would hold his hand tightly and obediently lick all the white liquid clean, not wasting a single drop.

After finishing her biscuits and milk, Liu Lan gazed earnestly at Chen Moxin, her expression like that of a puppy fawning over its owner; if she had a tail, it would be wagging it from side to side right now.

"I've finished eating, I ate it all."

"Mmm, so good~" Chen Moxin stroked her head and said softly, "From now on, you must be obedient like this too."

"Next, you will enter the containment process. You need to cooperate with our work and sign whatever we ask you to sign. Don't resist."

"When we go to the containment area, we can live well there, get along well with others, not do anything that violates the rules, and treat the Administration Bureau as our own home."

Liu Lan took Chen Moxin's hand, gently touching it against her cheek, and asked cautiously, "Will you still come to see me in the future? Will you stay with me like this?"

Chen Moxin smiled gently and said, "Of course, I am a member of the Management Bureau, now and always. Whenever I have time, I will come to see you and take good care of you."

Liu Lan smiled blankly, "I understand... I will cooperate."

"Ah, there's one more thing." Taking the opportunity of saying goodbye, Chen Moxin leaned down and brought her lips close to Liu Lan's ear, saying in a voice only she could hear, "Don't talk about what happened between us before, no matter who asks. That's a secret that belongs only to us."

The crescent moon curse mark spread and diffused in Liu Lantong's eyes, transforming into an absolute power that left an irresistible imprint on the depths of her mind.

Her eyes were filled with deep affection and determination as she whispered in Chen Moxin's ear, "I will. It's a secret that belongs only to us."

The young man let the person in his arms embrace him. His handsome face was faintly visible in the backlight and shadow. The corners of his lips slowly curved into a sharp arc, and his amber eyes, filled with a mysterious smile, gleamed with a ghostly light in the darkness.

[Containment ID: SWAB-132]

[Target Code Name: Shapeshifter]

[Containment Classification: General Containment]

[Past Retrospect]

The inmate was born in the capital, spent his childhood and completed his higher education locally. In 54, he graduated from the Department of Journalism at Imperial University of Media and Communications with a Bachelor of Arts degree.

Due to personal marriage issues, the detainee's relationship with her parents broke down, and she ran away with her fiancé to the Twin Cities, where she became the legal representative of his foreign trade company.

The company was later found to have ties with smuggling forces and was suspected of large-scale tax evasion. However, subsequent investigations revealed that the detainee himself had not participated in the company's actual operations.

The subject awakened psychic abilities on January 12, 60th year of the Long Night. The reason for the awakening is currently unclear. Under certain conditions, the ability can cause objects to undergo spatial displacement.

The detainee had previously engaged in activities such as absconding and resisting interrogation. Later, due to personal issues, he broke with his predecessor and actively assisted the agents in the arrest operation. He showed good willingness to cooperate in the future.

Therefore, the original decision to "strictly manage and detain" was cancelled, and the detention level was allowed to be downgraded to "generally manage and detain".

Containment Record

[132-01]

In accordance with relevant regulations, after formally detaining the detainee, our bureau informed the detainee's parents of the relevant information.

During a phone call with his family, he tearfully expressed his remorse for his impulsive actions back then and received his parents' forgiveness. His relationship with his family has now greatly improved.

[132-02]

The subject of the containment usually enjoys classical attire and has a good sense of aesthetics in clothing matching. She often provides dressing guidance to other witches and supervisors in the containment area.

It is said that a supervisor successfully salvaged a nearly broken relationship by significantly improving her personal image, married her boyfriend, and even presented a banner with "YYDS" printed on it to the detainees after the wedding.

[132-03]

In a cooking competition held in the containment area, the inmate won first place with her superb skills and often cooked private meals to feed the other witches.

Because the food cooked by the subjects of the containment was too delicious, the witches generally became picky eaters, and their approval rating of the canteen in the containment area dropped significantly, which gave the head chef a big headache.

[132-04]

The subject in the containment unit accidentally triggered psionic energy while asleep, sending love letters from other witches in the containment area to the operator's office, causing a chaotic series of confessions in our department.

Our bureau has already assigned sleep therapists to the detainees to improve their sleep quality and ensure that similar situations do not occur again.

[132-05]

The inhabitants often grow flowers in the greenhouse of the containment area and try to mix tea leaves with dried flowers to make flower tea for others to taste.

This type of flower tea has a unique aroma and is widely praised. The Logistics Department has obtained authorization to put the flower tea formula into production and it has become one of the standard tea drinks in our office.

[132-06]

The inmate usually enjoys watching anime series, and has a preference for younger audiences, often watching romance anime that are typically enjoyed by teenage girls.

When asked about her criteria for choosing a partner, the person in custody stated that he must be a handsome young man who is 6 years younger than her and has amber eyes.

Special containment measures

Those in shelters have high requirements for their quality of life, so they need to be provided with single rooms.

All social media accounts of those in custody must be placed under real-time monitoring.

When detainees participate in group activities, at least one supervisor must be present to monitor their conversations.

SWAB-132 Graduation Thesis – The Impact of Psionic Control on Free Thought

Excerpts from SWAB-132's past statements on social media accounts

The Twin Cities Witches Management Bureau promises that the above containment report contains no false information, misleading statements, or material omissions, and assumes responsibility for its authenticity.

Roses in full bloom, empire forever.

Chapter 23: Let's talk to the white-haired beauty.

Having settled things with Liu Lan, Chen Moxin came out and saw Luo Lingyou standing not far away with his back against the wall.

Chen Moxin closed the door and smiled at her: "Why are you eavesdropping on other people's conversations?"

Luo Lingyou twirled a strand of hair around his fingertip and said lazily, "I am the judge, so of course I can openly eavesdrop."

Openly eavesdropping... This phrase was so abstract that Chen Moxin couldn't help but chuckle.

Luo Lingyou glanced at him with interest: "To be honest, I really don't understand how you were able to win over that witch so quickly? You seem to have a very subtle attraction to her."

Chen Moxin teased, "What's wrong, Miss Judge, are you jealous?"

Luo Lingyou raised his eyebrows and said, "You, do you have to flirt with every girl you see?"

Chen Moxin replied seriously, "Of course not, unless that girl is as beautiful as you."

Luo Lingyou was amused by this shameless remark and asked, "So, what you just said to the witch was true? You plan to take responsibility for her and take good care of her in the future?"

Chen Moxin shrugged: "It depends on my mood. If I'm in a good mood, I'll go take a look; if I'm not, I'll just leave it there."

"Anyway, I've already gotten what I wanted from her."

To outsiders, this sounds like something related to the case, such as testimonies or intelligence.

But in fact, the meaning behind this is far more profound than it appears on the surface.

For example, strength.

There is still a human heart.

Luo Lingyou looked into Chen Moxin's eyes and revealed that playful expression, like a cat seeing something new: "You lied before, and you lied again. I've realized you're a liar. Anyone who believes you is doomed."

Chen Moxin said cheerfully, "Thank you for the compliment. I will try my best to continue to work hard in the future!"

After saying that, he shrugged and handed the coat he had draped over himself while sleeping to Luo Lingyou: "Thanks for this."

Luo Lingyou glanced at him.

"what?"

"Here's your clothes back."

"Are these my clothes? You're just going to return them?"

Chen Moxin was somewhat puzzled: "Not yours?"

He picked up the coat and examined it closely, trying to figure out who its owner was.

Suddenly, my hand felt light, and my coat was snatched away.

Luo Lingyou put it on, walked outside, and even turned back to give Chen Moxin a playful look.

Chen Moxin snapped out of her daze, smiled, and shook her head.

"You're really cheeky."

...

Chen Moxin left the prison area and was about to return to the administration building when she suddenly heard a call.

"Xiao Chen."

Luo Shoucheng stood not far away and waved to him: "Come on, let's have dinner together."

It was lunchtime and there were many people, but fortunately the canteen for government departments was very large, and the two of them got their meals after waiting in line for a short time and sat down at a table to eat.

Chen Moxin had just taken a bite when Luo Shoucheng suddenly said, "I say, are you really a little crazy?"

Chen Moxin asked innocently, "Group Leader Luo, why are you scolding me for no reason?"

Luo Shoucheng said expressionlessly, "I've read your report. Last Friday night, in order to get a confession from Liu Lan, you played the good cop/bad cop with Luo Miaoyou. Why did you have to provoke the judge?"

Chen Moxin blinked: "Is there a problem? Although we and the court are independently organized, our functional areas overlap a lot, so we can cooperate in handling cases, right?"

Luo Shoucheng said helplessly, "It's possible, but... sigh, what's wrong with your brain... you can interrogate her, but why did you let her hit someone with a stun gun?!"

Chen Moxin's expression became even more innocent: "This really wasn't my idea. I just wanted to scare Liu Lan, I didn't intend to hit her. It was Luo Miaoyou who said to do it this way."

Luo Shoucheng tapped his head with his knuckles: "You agree just because she says so? What if she asked you to lick her feet one day? Would you lick them?"

Chen Moxin was shocked: "Ah, is there really such a good thing?!"

"You..." Luo Shoucheng was speechless.

What's wrong with young people these days? Don't they have any shame?

He was silent for a moment, then sighed and asked, "Tell me, do you know who Luo Lingyou's mother is?"

Chen Moxin and Luo Lingyou didn't have much interaction, so of course she wouldn't know about such private matters.

"Please speak, Group Leader Luo."

"Her mother was one of the 'Twelve Members' of the Upper House Council and the 'Grand Judge' of the Capital Court."

This was something Chen Moxin truly hadn't expected.

The "Upper Court Council" is the highest authority in the Rose Empire, controlling the policy direction of the entire empire.

The so-called "Twelve Committee Members" are the twelve highest decision-makers of the Upper Council, including the Empire's Supreme Leader, the "Black Emperor," and the heads of the major imperial administrative agencies.

The Grand Judge is the head of the entire Rose Empire's judicial system.

They sit in the first row at meetings, right next to the Black Emperor.

"Does Luo Lingyou have such a powerful background?"

"What do you think? Do you even understand the value of an 18-year-old judge?"

"She's only 18? Shouldn't she be just starting college at that age?"

Luo Shoucheng's tone was full of sour envy: "That's why I say some people are like winning the lottery."

"This girl not only comes from a good family, but her IQ is also terrifyingly high. It is said that she entered university at the age of 12, pursued a master's degree at the age of 14, and graduated with a doctorate at the age of 18, and entered the courtroom in one fell swoop."

Chen Moxin smiled and said, "Wow, I really didn't expect you to be so amazing."

Luo Shoucheng placed a chicken leg on Chen Moxin's plate and said earnestly, "That's why I'm telling you, don't go along with Luo Lingyou's nonsense. With her background and experience, she'll definitely be joining the Upper House Council in the future. Coming to the grassroots level now is just for training."

“If something really happens during this time, it doesn’t matter to her because she has someone protecting her, but if you get involved, your career will be ruined.”

Chen Moxin shrugged and said, "There's nothing I can do about it. She's the direct judge in our group, and I can't bypass her in my work."

Luo Shoucheng took out a cigarette, then, remembering that this was the cafeteria, he could only smell it. "I know what you're thinking. You want to take this opportunity to get on good terms with her so it will be easier for you at work in the future, right?"

“This idea is fine. Our Bureau staff need to maintain good relations with the judges. But Chen Moxin, I have to give you some advice.”
