Then let the witch offer her loyalty

It was such a simple little game that Chen Moxin and Gu Qiaoqiao often played during breaks in high school, and it had long been ingrained in their memories.

As soon as Chen Moxin mentioned it, Gu Qiaoqiao immediately remembered.

Upon seeing Chen Moxin's gesture, Gu Qiaoqiao lowered her head forcefully after a reaction time of about 0.3 seconds, similar to that in high school.

"Oh!"

Alexander was like a shooting machine, his eyes filled with absolute calm as he raised his gun and pulled the trigger in the direction he had calculated beforehand.

The ballistic trajectory tore through the sky, striking the target location with absolute precision, without the slightest deviation.

All anyone heard was a "pfft".

Ten meters directly in front of Chen Moxin, space began to distort and blur, and two figures emerged from their invisible state.

A gaping hole ran from front to back in Zhao Guangzheng's forehead, his eyes forever frozen in shock, the splattered blood staining the chimney behind him.

Because Gu Qiaoqiao had lowered her head during the "game," she was completely unharmed by the bullets.

Illegal psychic Zhao Guangzheng has been confirmed dead!

Chapter 116 The Witch's Containment

(Two updates combined)

Zhao Guangzheng was shot dead on the spot, and theoretically the threat was eliminated.

However, an unexpected event occurred at this time.

Because Zhao Guangzheng maintained his hostage position, when he was shot and collapsed, he pulled Gu Qiaoqiao down with him, and the two of them fell directly off the edge of the rooftop.

Chen Moxin immediately activated the phase space, allowing herself and the bottle of liquor that had fallen with her to complete a phase transfer, instantly appearing next to Gu Qiaoqiao.

He caught Gu Qiaoqiao in mid-air, positioning himself with his back facing down, and protected her as they plummeted.

Alexander and his special forces team were terrified when they saw this.

Chen Moxin had previously introduced his abilities to everyone; his phase mark could not be used on any life form other than himself.

Given the current situation, even if Chen Moxin manages to hold Gu Qiaoqiao, there's no way to use her spiritual energy to send them both to safety; they can only fall like this.

Although it's only three floors high, someone like Chen Moxin, who has received training, wouldn't have any problems jumping straight down.

But he was falling backwards, with someone on top of him. If he had fallen hard, his body probably wouldn't have been able to withstand it.

At the critical moment, Lei Lie, who was guarding below, noticed the situation. His tall body quickly started moving, and he rushed over like a wild beast, sliding in to cushion the spot where the two fell.

With a "thud," Chen Moxin, carrying Gu Qiaoqiao, fell into Lei Lie's arms.

The two of them still fell quite hard, but with Lei Lie acting as a human cushion, they didn't suffer too serious injuries.

Chen Moxin rolled over with Gu Qiaoqiao in her arms and put her hand on Lei Lie's shoulder: "Are you alright?"

Lei Lie casually got up from the ground, patted his chest muscles which were as thick as a city wall, and chuckled, "Hey, it's nothing. You two are light. It didn't hurt as much as when I was a kid and I was ramming into a bull."

Chen Moxin smiled and patted Lei Lie's arm.

Just then, Alexander's urgent call came from above: "Brother Chen! Are you alright?"

Chen Moxin looked up and waved to him, indicating that she was alright.

Alexander finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After the crisis was over, medical personnel who had been waiting outside entered the scene one after another and helped the people involved to check their health.

Gu Qiaoqiao was very well protected; she only suffered minor soft tissue contusions.

Chen Moxin was slightly more seriously injured because she had fallen on someone. She was covered in bruises and some of her joints were dislocated, but fortunately, no bones were broken and she was not seriously injured.

Lei Lie only suffered a few scrapes.

On Zhao Guangzheng's side, medical personnel performed on-site resuscitation according to regulations, but to no avail. He was pronounced dead at the scene and taken away by vehicle.

With the proxy's death, the witch under control, and no casualties, the operation was successfully concluded.

As for the teachers and students of Psychology Class 7, they were still locked in the attic by several "Demon Alliance thugs" and knew nothing about the outside world.

Although the Bureau prioritizes containing witches, it also knows how to do things properly and will not recklessly overdraw its own credibility.

If word gets out that someone impersonated a robber, it could easily create public pressure.

Therefore, the Administration made special arrangements for the conclusion of this operation.

Soon after, another group of armed personnel in official uniforms will enter the beachcomber's house to "rescue" the hostages, repel those posing as members of the Demon Alliance, and bring the teachers and students out safely.

In this way, the teachers and students would only believe that they had really been attacked by the Demon Alliance and that the Bureau of Management had saved them in the end.

Anyway, the Magic League takes all the blame.

Surely such an illegal organization, which has been named and shamed by the authorities countless times, can't just come out and deny it?

Even if you debunk it, nobody will believe you.

And so, with the operation by the beachcombers coming to an end, Gu Qiaoqiao was taken back to the Management Bureau, and the Twin No. 2 Middle School Affiliated University Witch Awakening Incident came to a temporary close.

As the last class team building activity of their university life, this day will undoubtedly become one of the most unforgettable memories for the teachers and students of Class 7 of the Department of Psychology.

Some people still feel lingering fear whenever they recall the kidnapping, while others, after recovering, use the experience as something to brag about, embellishing their stories with every person they meet.

The graduation season for Class 7 came to a close with this thrilling team-building activity. Everyone bid farewell to their youthful campus life and went their separate ways.

Two people had a particularly tough time later on: Tan Shengmei, a gold digger, and Ted, an international student.

After being sued by Chen Moxin, Tan Shengmei hired a lawyer to try and fight back, hoping to avoid paying as much money as possible.

But Chen Moxin found the firm's top lawyer, how could Tan Shengmei's little Kalami compare?

Tan Shengmei's lawyer tried to gain sympathy for her in court, writing lengthy and emotional essays that seemed eloquent and passionate, but were actually full of nonsense and lacked any focus, annoying the judge several times.

Chen Moxin's lawyer was very capable; he either remained silent or spoke only when there was a legal basis for his words, getting straight to the point without uttering a single superfluous word.

In the end, Tan Shengmei was completely defeated, and she had to pay Chen Moxin more than one million yuan in various civil and emotional compensation claims.

Women like Tan Shengmei, who are gold diggers, often go out to participate in various activities with their so-called "best friends." They seem to have a good relationship, but in reality, they are always secretly comparing themselves to each other.

For example, who bought which designer bag today, or who used a certain luxury perfume... people will secretly compete with each other.

This also led to Tan Shengmei's huge spending habits, making it impossible for her to save any money. Even if she sold all the luxury goods she bought at depreciated prices, she still couldn't raise more than a million yuan, and in the end, she had no choice but to confess to her family.

When her father heard about it, he beat her up on the spot.

Her father was initially furious and didn't want to get involved.

But since the other party was his daughter after all, after his anger subsided, he had no choice but to pay back the money out of his own pocket, thus putting an end to this ill-fated relationship.

If Tan Shengmei paid a heavy price for her past actions, at least she can still make ends meet, though she's struggling financially more than before.

Then the fate of the international student Ted was much worse.

After graduating, Ted returned to the Azure Federation. Because he hadn't learned anything or knew anything during his four years of university, he couldn't find a job at all. So he became a consultant for a federation media outlet that was specifically against the Rose Empire.

In the interview, Ted vehemently smeared the Rose Empire, falsely claiming that he had been discriminated against and abused, and constantly criticizing how dark the imperial government was.

One day, Ted, who was short of money, went to a supermarket for a "zero-dollar purchase" with his friends. When they tried to escape, they were stopped by the police.

Having become accustomed to the friendly attitude of the Imperial Sheriff, Ted even tried to snatch the police officer's sidearm during a standoff.

Without saying a word, the three policemen emptied their magazines and gave Ted a "Federal Iaijutsu".

In the end, the person and the box weighed six and a half pounds.

Of course, these are all things to be discussed later. Chen Moxin didn't care that much about his college life, after all, this was just the original owner's life, and he had his own life to live.

That same night, after the beachcombing trip ended, Chen Moxin brought Gu Qiaoqiao back to the management bureau and then took a nap in her office.

The next morning, Chen Moxin was organizing the documents related to the operation when the person in charge of the containment area came to find him.

"Team Leader Chen, that girl named Gu Qiaoqiao hasn't slept all night. She hasn't eaten, drunk, or spoken, and she's not cooperating with the detention procedures. I heard you two are classmates, and you're quite familiar with her. Why don't you go and try to persuade her?"

Chen Moxin nodded after hearing this.

The end of the operation is one thing, containment is another.

Often, successfully capturing a witch is just the beginning.

If the witch cannot be kept willingly by the Bureau and she is always thinking about running away, then it is considered "ineffective containment".

Ineffective containment is pointless.

Especially with Gu Qiaoqiao's ability to hide, once she's determined to run away, it will be a real problem.

Now that she's not cooperating with the detention, no one else in the department can do anything about it, so they have no choice but to come to Chen Moxin.

Chen Moxin had originally planned to find some time to see Gu Qiaoqiao.

On the one hand, this was an official matter for the Administration Bureau, and since Gu Qiaoqiao was unwilling to cooperate with the detention, Chen Moxin, as an acquaintance, would definitely have to do something.

On the other hand, Chen Moxin was also very interested in Gu Qiaoqiao's psychic abilities.

Before going to find Gu Qiaoqiao, Chen Moxin went to the supermarket across from the Administration Bureau and bought sandwiches and yogurt.

He couldn't find blueberries in the supermarket, so he drove for more than an hour, braving the morning rush hour traffic, to buy them from elsewhere.

Gu Qiaoqiao's situation is different from Liu Lan's at that time.

When Liu Lan was arrested, she had already committed a crime and maliciously resisted interrogation, which was extremely serious, so she was directly imprisoned.

Gu Qiaoqiao hadn't done anything wrong, so the bureau naturally wouldn't throw her into the cold, impersonal prison area, but instead sent her to a temporary detention area.

Compared to the harsh conditions of the prison area, the temporary detention area is much better, with standard one-bedroom single rooms complete with water, electricity, and furniture.

When Chen Moxin arrived, Gu Qiaoqiao was sitting alone in a chair, staring blankly at the blank wall. Her eyes were bloodshot from not sleeping all night, and her cheeks looked much thinner.

Chen Moxin looked at Gu Qiaoqiao and mentally called out to the system: "Use the analysis on Gu Qiaoqiao."

[Target for analysis: Gu Qiaoqiao]

【Are you sure? 】

"determine."

[Target confirmed as witch, identification successful]

[Start an exclusive quest for the witch "Gu Qiaoqiao"]

The newly awakened witch has been captured, but she harbors considerable resistance and is unwilling to cooperate with containment efforts.

If this resistance cannot be eliminated, containment will inevitably fail.

As the only acquaintance of the target within the Bureau, only you can break down her defenses.

[Current task: Obtain Gu Qiaoqiao's cooperation in completing all containment procedures]

[Mission Reward: Gu Qiaoqiao obtains "Mind Interference - Beginning"]

Chen Moxin placed the breakfast in front of Gu Qiaoqiao, then sat down in another chair and asked with concern, "Why didn't you sleep all night?"

Gu Qiaoqiao didn't look at Chen Moxin, but sniffed and smiled sadly, "Little Chen, you lied to me all day yesterday..."

She was referring to many things.

For example, Chen Mo jumped into the water and looked up at her, saying affectionately, "I'm sorry, my white moonlight."

That wasn't really an apology to her; it was just that because she was one of the suspects in the witch's awakening, Chen Moxin needed to re-establish contact with her.

For example, the so-called "Demon Alliance Robbers" was a scam targeting everyone, including her.

Even the part about him standing up to protect her wasn't real.

It was all a show orchestrated by Chen Moxin herself, designed to make the most suspicious person anxious and force her to reveal herself.

It's important to know that Gu Qiaoqiao was completely kept in the dark at the time. She was prepared to be arrested by the Administration Bureau afterward, and even prepared to die on the spot at the hands of the "Demon Alliance thugs," but she was determined to risk her life to save Chen Moxin.

In the end, it was all just a calculation.

This really broke Gu Qiaoqiao's heart, a girl who was so innocent and naive.

At this moment, Chen Moxin didn't say anything that showed an extremely low level of emotional intelligence, such as "There's nothing I can do, it's for work" or "Sorry, I'm a witch hunter."

Girls are emotional beings, so when comforting a girl, never try to explain away your hurtful behavior.

Never let her think about your "bad" things; instead, make her remember your "good" things.

Chen Moxin reached out and gently pinched Gu Qiaoqiao's cheek: "But I really did save you."

These words naturally reminded Gu Qiaoqiao of the last dangerous moment.
