Miss Witch doesn't want to be a diva

"Tick tock tick"

A crisp sound of footsteps sounded in the darkness, and then the door opened, and light shone into the black corridor from the crack in the door.

"This is the cell where the illegal driver is held."

A slightly mature female voice introduced, followed by slight hums and responses.

"Because the things he involves are extraordinary, the conversation only lasts for half an hour. I will come over after that time." Then he walked away and the corridor became quiet again.

From outside the door filled with light, a slightly delicate figure walked through and stepped into this quiet and dark world.

The door is closed, and one side of the corridor is opened like a blind. The black wall rotates, allowing the cold white light from outside to shine in. As she slowly walks through the corridor, the girl's silhouette is also divided by the shadows of black and white vertical bars.

Finally, she stopped, and on the other side of her hand was the closed, secretly locked door.

As the identity verification instrument on the side made a beeping sound, the blue indicator light came on. Then the tight gear on the door was untied and loosened, and slowly opened to both sides, revealing a small room inside, separated by a fence and Through the metal glass, the girl could see the man sitting on the bed with his head lowered.

Soon after, a simple chair was raised, allowing the girl to sit outside the cell and look inside.

"Can you hear me in there, Mr. Jolon?"

Hearing the voice in his consciousness, the man inside finally raised his head and saw the girl sitting in the light and shadow not far away.

The cold white light from behind outlined the chair and the girl's figure, while the face and expression were still in the shadows. Only the pair of blue eyes were still familiar and clear.

"It's you." He replied calmly.

Even a fringe figure like him has heard of Hesia Tilan's name. Although the two have crossed paths before, Qiao Long is not naive enough to think that just based on that little bit of intersection, the girl in front of him will Do yourself a favor. Maybe, he is still a stain on her life, and she wants to get rid of it quickly.

Although I don’t have much hope, facing the girl in front of me is much easier than those cold and harsh investigators. Even though he is well-informed, he is somewhat physically and mentally haggard after being interrogated by the trial court for several days. I can still hold on for a few more days.

"I want to ask Mr. Qiao Long something." The girl continued.

"You ask, and I'll try my best to answer." There's no point in trying to do it anyway, and he doesn't have anything that needs to be kept secret.

"Can you tell me about the underground world of Pagyin City before and the situation of the organization you are in now?" These questions were also asked by members of the Tribunal a few days ago, but his answers were perfunctory.

"I can say it, but it will be slower." Leaning against the wall, Qiao Long rested his upper body on the quilt and recalled slowly.

"I joined a gang when I was very young. Speaking of which, it was also because of an opportunity brought by a friend when I was young."

"Compared to me, his living conditions are actually better, and his mother takes care of him..." Qiao Long recalled meeting Holm when he was a child, playing together, playing truant, fighting, etc.

"Because Holm liked to cause trouble, I had to fight a lot at that time. Later, I slowly attracted the attention of some local gangsters, and then I was influenced by them and began to contact and understand gang affairs."

"Then it was also because of Blue that he officially joined the gang and gradually moved to a middle-level position." Tilan had heard him say these things in the past, but not in such detail this time.

"As you know what happened next, a big change happened underground in Payin City, and I had to escape from there."

"How did you escape from there?" The girl was slightly curious.

"Drifting through underground rivers." Qiao Long answered simply.

"I sank into the water and let myself drift with the current. I floated like this for more than a week before I found a suitable place to get up. I almost died on the road. The underground world is dark and quiet, and it is easy for people to suffer from claustrophobia. "

“After reconnecting with areas of human activity, it took me a long time to decide where to go.”

"The prosperous and tightly inspected southern districts are definitely not suitable. Then we can only go to the remote areas in the north where the land is sparsely populated and the federal power is weak."

"However, organizations like gangs rely too much on familiarity with the local environment. Even though I was a strong middle-level person in the past, I still encountered a lot of difficulties when I came to the North Fourth District alone." Not only was it difficult, he was almost exposed In the eyes of federal officials, it was just that the police officer took a bribe that night to delete some unfavorable records for him.

After slowly listening to how Qiao Long joined the resistance organization and then talked about the organization's goals and beliefs, Tilan finally asked.

"Are there many people like this in the north?"

"How many? It's hard to describe, because the population in the northern regions is not large, and the proportion of truly extreme radicals is also very small." Qiao Long recalled what he had seen in the past few years.

“But the organization’s slogan and goals are indeed endorsed by many northern indigenous people.”

After knowing the answer, Tilan stopped asking questions and asked Qiao Long to continue talking, from the robbery of the mecha last year to the emergency driving during the battle with mercenaries this year, etc.

Time passed quickly, half an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and it was time to leave.

The closed door at the end of the corridor opened again. Emeranda came to Tilan's side, glanced at the man who was silent again inside, and then took Tilan away from the place of imprisonment.

After walking out of the tightly sealed underground prison and arriving at the office building of the Tribunal, Emeranda and Tilan sat on the sofas.

"How was the talk?"

"Not bad." The girl replied thoughtfully.

"What will you do with him?" the girl asked.

"If he follows the formal procedures and laws, he will definitely die for the crime he committed." Emeranda tapped her finger.

"Has he ever killed federal officials?" the girl asked.

"That's not true, but because it involves rebellion, stealing mechas, illegal resistance, participating in evil organizations, etc., these crimes are very serious when combined with each other." Emeranda.

"Are there any rescue measures within the scope of the law?"

"Yes, if he has committed major meritorious acts, some of his crimes can be reduced. Although he will inevitably go to jail, he can still survive."

"In this case..." The girl fell into thinking.

"Do you want to save him?" Emeranda asked.

"Save him if you can. It's not necessary to save him." Although Qiao Long has many bad parts, he is not hopeless compared to those extremely bad prisoners.

"If you want to save him, I can provide you with some options, but Tilan, you'd better not get involved by yourself. The risk of such a thing is too high." Emeranda shook her head. Even if she is a singer, she is not completely Independent of the law, there are still many people who are jealous and jealous. If such stains are exposed, they will be easily attacked.

"I know, I'm just asking." Tilan nodded.

"That's good." Emeranda breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that Tilan would become hot-headed. After all, although the girl in front of her was extremely talented, she was still only 17-18 years old. If she impulsively made some impact, The image thing is so regrettable.

"For Mr. Qiao Long, I am actually more concerned about the many issues revealed by his experiences." Tilan explained from another perspective why she was so concerned about the man in the cell.

"I think there should be many people like Qiao Long in the lower levels of the Federation. Their talents are acceptable, but they have nowhere to display them. The gradual confinement and unchanging social class also makes it difficult for them to climb up."

"With talent and strength, they are naturally not willing to continue to lie dormant and suffer grievances as ordinary people, but in reality it is difficult to find a space for them to display their skills."

"As far as I know, the slogans and programs of the resistance organizations are not perfect, and there are even some flaws hidden in the logic that cannot be justified. However, such slogans still appeal to a large number of people, which shows how serious the problem is." Continue talking about what you observed and analyzed.

"The decline of Siye Jing has not only brought about various economic problems, but also caused the entire star field to lose industries and fields of sustainable growth, and there are no these places to accommodate the emerging talents and powerful people. , then these 'talents' who cannot find a suitable position may turn to the illegal gray field." Tilan continued to talk about the reason for the chaos at the bottom of Jade Skirt.

"In addition, the economic downturn has also reduced government funding for remote areas, and the enforcement capabilities of local security and official agencies have become weaker and weaker."

"Government agencies that are unable to perform their functions will only continue to reduce the government's prestige in the hearts of local people. They no longer trust official agencies, and instead look for those who can really help them solve their problems, such as gang organizations or local people. A big shot and so on."

"The existence of these organizations and people will also further weaken the official authority in the local area, and even bribe some low-level and middle-level official personnel to serve as their thugs and accomplices."

“When a lot of people in their lives rely on and rely on them, they also have the foundation to build their own organization.”

If the military and police command centers in various places were only ordered to clean up these illegal organizations, then this girl told the real reason why these organizations came into being.

"That's a very profound analysis, Tilan." Emeranda clapped slightly, praising the girl for her inner maturity and reason that was inconsistent with her appearance.

"Blank suppression will never be able to cure the disease. There must be new industries and fields to continuously absorb these untapped 'talents'. Without the support of these 'talents,' those resistance organizations will also collapse. In addition, If the economy improves and local government agencies have sufficient funds, they can gradually improve the security environment and avoid the birth of similar gangs and illegal organizations."

"Actually, I have been hesitant before about whether to interfere so deeply in the star domain government's decision-making, but now that I think about it, it seems that I have to go." The girl put down the teacup in her hand and looked out the window at the bustling world of lights in the distance.

"The current star domain government's decision-making is still too chaotic and slow. It is interfered by too many factors and is inefficient."

"The local conservative faction, officials from the central star region, officials who receive corporate funding to speak good words for them, and people who make all kinds of empty promises in order to get votes, the existence of these people makes the government agencies that should be efficient like a chaotic market. Wavering, the easiest thing for them to do is to maintain all the decisions they have made. Once a new proposal appears, it will be scrutinized by all parties to see if there are any unfavorable factors hidden in it, factors that will affect the situation, and will Factors that increase the opponent’s momentum, etc.”

"Arguing for the sake of arguing instead of arguing for the truth is really tiring." Hesia sighed.

She has studied history. Situations like this have happened countless times in the past, but they are often difficult to solve unless there is a major problem that everyone must face. Under the force of the situation, everyone has to be tied together, or something happens. Some powerful figure unifies all different opinions.

The former is often the last moment of crisis, and when a figure like the latter appears, he is either praised as a wise and great figure, or he is said to be a vicious and authoritarian tyrant.

“If you don’t participate in politics, you don’t want to get involved in complex and changeable situations and disrupt your life and life. But if you give up your own ideas and opinions for this, it will be more than worth the gain.”

"If you have to suppress your three views and thoughts and huddle in a corner like a bug in order to live, then it is really better to break free from the cocoon and face the world like a moth to the flame."

"Besides, moths flying into the flame may not be a dead end. Maybe at this moment, there are many moths hesitating and observing in the cocoons, just waiting for a signal to appear."

After Tilan finished speaking her thoughts, even though she used some obscure metaphors, Emeranda easily understood her thoughts.

This is not only Tilan trying to convince her, but also trying to convince herself to change her past style and habits.

"It seems that you have made up your mind." Emeranda looked at the girl in front of her again.

Compared with two years ago, Tilan's figure is undoubtedly a little taller, and her figure is not as thin as before. She has become healthier and slightly plump, and her expression and demeanor have also lost the tension and anxiety of the past. He became calm and quiet. Although he still looked a little green and shy, his heart was like glass tempered by fire, especially clear and strong.

"If you want to meet the Governor of the Star Territory, I can help you connect. However, the other party is not someone who can be easily persuaded. It is best for Tilan not to use her natural ability to force the other party in person, as this will arouse the other party's resentment."

"Although they are the Governor of the Star Territory, they also have their own ideas and pursuits. As long as Tilan finds a suitable entry point, it is not difficult to convince them. It depends on Tilan's ability, haha~"

"With the support of the Governor of the Star Territory, it will be much easier for Tilan to persuade other members. As long as there are enough people, others will not resist strongly. Most officials are also smart people who understand the situation quite well. They won’t fight against the tide.”

"Come on, little Tilan." Emeranda stood up.
