Hidden Corner

Chapter 137 137 An Xin III

Suiyang Yunjing Sales Office.

Li Chengyi lowered his head and signed his name on the house purchase contract.

 After helping Rainbow Candy complete the most troublesome clue exploration process in the dead end, he also destroyed the main body of the dead end of the infinite staircase.

  Subsequent changes, Rainbow Candy is worthy of being an old dead-end person. It took a week to quickly find the prototype and complete the escape from the infinite staircase.

The so-called infinite staircase is actually a closed building that was once abandoned as a mental hospital.

  Because a collective riot among mental patients occurred in that hospital, resulting in the tragedy of at least fifteen people dying and more than thirty others injured.

Later, the hospital collapsed because the murder scene was too horrific. No one took over the building, and it was completely abandoned.

 After Skittles found the building, she found out how to escape the next day.

At the expense of huge financial resources, a mentally ill person who escaped safely by hiding in a corner appeared in the investigation.

　　In that horrific murder.

 The murderer was shot to death, and the person who was killed was either dead or crazy. Only one person was lucky enough to be safe and only maintained his original mild depression.

Skittles also mastered the escape method through that person and successfully completed the analysis of the infinite staircase.

"Mr. Li was able to purchase a villa with full payment at such a young age. This is the first time we have seen a customer like you in Suiyang." The sales lady sold nearly 4 million worth of orders in one go. Obviously, she received a lot of commission, and her face was full of smiles. His smile is also unusually soft.

 Li Chengyi came to his senses and glanced at the terms of the contract again.

 “If there are no problems, when can I apply for the certificate?”

“The time agreed in the contract is one week later. Then you can just bring your ID card and come over. We will have someone accompanying you throughout the process.” the sales lady replied.

 “Okay, please.” Li Chengyi put away the contract and put it in his carry-on bag.

Standing up, he greeted the other party politely and walked toward the door.

　　Boom!

Suddenly, there was a faint, subtle vibration in the distance, floating in the distance.

 At such a distance, at least dozens of kilometers away, Li Chengyi could feel the ground shaking under his feet.

His expression changed slightly and he looked towards the direction where the vibration came from.

 In the afternoon sky, a clear line of thick smoke was rising slowly, dyeing a small area of ​​the sky gray.

The sound of the whining fire trucks came one after another.

 There were a lot of police car sirens mixed in there.

Hunting.!

Li Chengyi's cell phone rang and vibrated.

He quickly took it out, looked at it, and pressed answer.

“Brother Cheng, the Baihua Chemical Factory in the southern suburbs exploded! It is said that it was caused by chemical dust and aging sparks from the wiring! But I immediately mobilized the surrounding surveillance.

  Found images of the Security Agency and the Federation using the Eyes of the Sky to hunt down unknown persons. You should be more careful. I thought it was just chaos in the provincial capital, but I didn't expect it to spread to Suiyang now. "Skittle Candy said quickly on the other end of the phone.

 Ever since the last time, the two of them secretly and tacitly exchanged codes, confirming Li Chengyi's dual identity.

Skittles’ attitude towards him has also become more respectful.

She is well-informed and naturally understands that Li Chengyi's achievements are considered impressive in both the omnic and cyborg systems.

 The most important thing is that no one knows how strong he is.

 How many forces responsible for maintenance and supply are behind the transformation module with exaggerated strength?

 She couldn't find out at all about this.

 This is what frightened her the most.

  You need to know that the force that she could not detect before was a mysterious organization called Longhe.

“Don’t worry, it’s most likely just a diversion. There’s nothing worth coveting in Suiyang. So the other party’s purpose is probably just to attract the police and experts above.” Li Chengyi had been in contact with Ideal Township and knew the other party’s behavior.

“Brother Cheng, do you know some inside information?” Rainbow Candy heard some details.

"I don't know. But I can guess. Well, these things have nothing to do with us. Yiguo is not as weak as you think. There will definitely be a response from above. Don't worry." Li Chengyi had talked about Yiguo with senior intelligent weapon master Ding Ning before. High Council and Omnic Structure.

We know that it is impossible to contain the power of the Grand Alliance and the General Administration just by relying on the forces that Utopia has now exposed.

 The power contained in a country and a huge empire with billions of people can be guessed just by thinking about it.

So he didn’t pay much attention to it. He just stopped a car on the roadside and returned to the botanical garden.

 These days, he has been in the botanical garden almost every day, staring at the flowerpots watered with nutrient solution diluted with the blood of the Shadow of Resentment.

Every morning when he gets up, he checks them and uses his radiant force field to continuously warm and illuminate the flowers.

 At first, all the flowers showed no change, but as time passed, gradually, some flowers began to wither uncontrollably.

 And here we are, the eighth day.

 Ten minutes later.

Li Chengyi returned to the Botanical Garden, corner.

There is a specially designated area here for him to experiment with the blood of the Shadow of Resentment.

As soon as I approached this corner, pots of withered and black flowers came into view.

 A total of thirty pots of various flowers were brought, 90% of which were already withered and dead.

 Including the chrysanthemums that he valued before.

Logically speaking, chrysanthemums are considered to have strong vitality, but unfortunately, they still can’t bear it under the nourishment of this new nutrient solution.

Li Chengyi walked to a pot of dead chrysanthemums and reached out to grab a few branches and leaves.

 The branches and leaves are black and hard, as if they have been dried by the sun.

 There is no moisture to the touch.

 ‘It was still green yesterday. It was just a little sluggish, but not today.’

 He sighed and walked to other flower pots to check the situation bit by bit.

 The young man who was recording the situation of flowers not far away quickly came over.

"Mr. Li, I carefully maintain these flowers every day. I have to come and take a look at the slightest sign of trouble, but inexplicably, a large number of them suddenly died! My monitoring here is always on. If you don't believe it, you can directly check!"

That guy was also a staff member of the botanical garden specially assigned by Li Chengyi to be responsible for this small experiment.

His tone was obviously because he was afraid that Li Chengyi would suspect that he had not done it well, causing a large area of ​​flowers to die. "I know, you've done a good job. It's none of your business. You can go do other things." Li Chengyi nodded to express his understanding.

His eyes were still scanning the pots of flowers.

dead.

dead.

dead.

 They are all dead!

 Li Chengyi sighed slightly.

 He couldn't remember how many times he sighed in the past few days. Every time he saw these pots of flowers dying, he would feel a little disappointed in his heart.

 Today is no exception.

I walked around and saw that there were only dead black flowers left in all the flower pots.

Li Chengyi was completely disappointed and was about to leave.

 Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of light green from the corner of his eye.

That is a touch of light green that still remains in a certain flowerpot.

"This is!?"

His mood suddenly became excited and he walked quickly to the flower pot.

It was only then that I discovered that the flower pot was planted with hyacinths. This flower, which I had just taken out of the greenhouse for experimentation, had already withered and turned into black branches and leaves lying in the soil.

That touch of green is not a hyacinth at all, but something growing out of the black soil on its side, near the edge of the flower pot.

 He reached out and carefully pushed the thing away.

 A touch of greenery suddenly appeared inside the black dead leaves.

Green leaves like onions spread out like an orchid.

 In the center, there are some small purple-white flowers.

These flowers look strange, like the rim of a basket, with purple spikes piercing it.

 The petals are in an arc shape, and each piece forms a basket.

 The filaments form spikes, the ends of which are faintly pale yellow.

 The surprise in Li Chengyi's heart spread like water waves.

 He stretched out his fingers and touched the little flower lightly.

 As a trace of flower energy surges up and flows into the mark, new information that has never been collected emerges.

'Polled flower' (polluted): a perennial herbaceous plant with slender and hollow leaves and purple flowers. The underground bulbs are narrowly oval in shape and have white flesh. They taste crisp and tender with a special spicy aroma. They are edible and contain protein, calcium and iron. , carotene and other nutrients. It has the effect of strengthening the spleen and appetizing. The flowering period is from October to November. ’

‘Flower Language: Blazing Shadow Bloodline (due to being watered by the blood of the Shadow of Resentment, it mutated. The original Fiery Heart of Flower Language was integrated into it, causing the bloodline to mutate and form a new unknown bloodline). ’

Li Chengyi looked slightly strange.

 He thought of the inferior shadow dragon bloodline in the silent shop.

 ‘If I guessed correctly, Jie Mao Feilian’s flower language should also come from this. But, what could this blazing shadow be? If it can mutate and has a name and surname, it will most likely be a relatively stable bloodline that already exists.’

 He now knows a lot about the Mark of the Flower of Evil.

Knowing this ability itself, if you encounter an unnamed flower, it will not automatically fill in the name.

  Instead, it will directly display unknown or unnamed.

 But this one here is actually a bloodline that already has a name.

Thinking of this, he quickly called the young man.

 “Go and get all the clams from around here, and replace them all with clams here from now on!”

 “These thirty flower pots, all replaced with locusts?” The young man was a little unbelievable.

 With the weeds like wild vegetables, no one usually buys them. This pot also grew on the edge of the flower plate, and no one noticed it, so it slowly grew.

But speaking more carefully, the young man also knew that he was wrong.

Logically speaking, he got overtime pay and should take good care of the flower pots here.

But the weed grows in the hyacinth flower pot, which means that he didn't pay attention at all before.

 After all, this is equivalent to a weed.

“All of them will be replaced by acanthus, but our botanical garden shouldn’t be planting them in batches, right?” Li Chengyi asked.

"No. However, there are a lot of them in the dry soil outside the grass. They are wild vegetables with strong vitality. We usually use them to make seasonings and spices." The young man answered.

“You help me find thirty flower pots, and I’ll give you an extra month’s bonus this year!” Li Chengyi said angrily.

The young man's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard that an extra month's bonus would be calculated.

Without saying a word, he quickly went to other places to look for cockroaches.

After confirming that the experiment was successful, Li Chengyi felt very comfortable. He specially found a staff member to come over and stare at the pot of lobster flowers.

 Then he went to drink some nutrient solution before returning to the botanical garden accommodation building.

　Now everyone in Destiny Garden has gone back, and the place is empty.

 Last time it was the Skittles blind spot that brought everyone together. Now that it’s over, everyone has gone back their separate ways.

Li Chengyi sat alone on the sofa, took out his mobile phone, and sent a message to his boss.

 “Boss, how is the situation over there?”

 Didn’t reply.

 Perhaps he is busy.

Li Chengyi didn't care, after all, no one would reply to unimportant messages immediately.

 Perhaps Syndra is busy with something.

 He took the remote control panel and clicked on the wall projection TV.
