After seeing the other person's face clearly, the system's shocked voice sounded in my mind.

[Sunflower? How did he become like this? Wait, how did he get here too? ]

The system felt that its CPU was about to burn out. It really didn't expect that Rose and Sunflower had escaped from the black hole caused by the collapse of the copy.

What a coincidence that I ended up in the same world as them.

On the other side, with the brilliant sunshine of Xizhou, Xiang Yang also saw the faint green in the other person's eyes, coupled with this expression that he had seen for who knows how many years -

"Boss? How did you become like this? Why is the system next to you?"

Xiang Yang's nose twitched and he turned pale with shock.

He didn't expect that the person coming over was Bai Yu.

What I didn't expect was that the other party, who was obviously 100% plant, would actually have a human aura.

Seeing that it was a familiar plant, Bai Yu also loosened his hand, the murderous intent in his eyes dissipated, and he returned to his usual expression:

...

...

"The system fell in with me. As for the aura... I borrowed the body of a human male, and I haven't completely transformed human cells into plant cells. But Xiang Yang, how did you end up here? And you suddenly became so small."

Without the restraints on his body, Xiang Yang stood up and casually patted the dirt on his body:

"I came here to kill a few annoying humans who are affecting our work. As for the reason for my smaller size, it's simple, I don't have enough energy. This size can save energy better, and I'm not like Yueji - by the way, did you know that Yueji is here too?"

Bai Yu nodded: "I ran into her last time, but she didn't seem to recognize me."

The scene where Yue Jihua pretended to fall and have a miscarriage left a deep impression on him. He had never known that she was such a good actress before.

Xiang Yang laughed mercilessly:

"Ha, that plant is getting worse and worse. Its vision is so bad. That thing's S attribute has exploded recently. Every day, it thinks about how to seduce and train humans. If these things are not helpful to our cause, I don't want to stay with her."

Bai Yu blinked blankly.

What is the S attribute explosion?

He did not interrupt Sunflower's words, but listened quietly to her complaints, from the panic she felt when she had no energy at the beginning, to the sadness of eating discarded experimental products after joining an organization.

"....Anyway, that group of humans were doing experiments related to pollutants, and there were many failed products. Yue Ji and I were promoted based on our abilities while secretly eating those failed products. We finally got rid of the danger of dying from energy exhaustion."

But this energy is not enough for him to squander, so he might as well use it sparingly.

Rose is different, she still has to work with her adult attitude.

"No matter what, as long as I can survive."

Bai Yu nodded and saw a four-pointed star logo on the other party's cuff.

"You're really not going to be held accountable for telling the organization's affairs like this?"

When the other party was complaining just now, he mentioned a lot of details.

Pollutant experiments, Evolvers, Undersea...

"Please, what is my relationship with them, and what is the relationship between us?"

Xiang Yang put his hands in his pockets nonchalantly, and looked straight at Bai Yu with his light green eyes, and said suspiciously,

"We are the same kind, Boss. You are not biased towards humans just because you have taken up a human shell."

If that were the case, he would really cry out all the juice.

Bai Yu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and reached out to push the hair behind his ears:

"Why do you have such an idea? I just want to say that you should not underestimate humans, especially their mechanical creations. After all, we have never come into contact with them before. Are you sure you don't have any listening devices on you?"

Xiang Yang's eyes suddenly widened and he began to search his body quickly.

He really hadn't thought about this aspect.

Perhaps the people in the organization still thought that he was just a burden brought by Yue Jihua, so they didn't find any strange mechanical gadgets on him.

"As expected of the boss, you always notice things that I don't. I guess Yueji didn't notice this either. I'll remind that stupid Zhi when I get back."

Xiang Yang praised Bai Yu a lot, then hugged him with a smile...Bai Yu's waist.

With his current height, he can only hold this position.

"Boss, the relationship between us shouldn't change, right?"

The spirit of the messenger of God in the organization began to have some problems. Not only did they believe that God would eventually come to the world, they also started a "God-making" plan. They seemed to have come into contact with some extremely dangerous beings in secret. Their crazy actions made Zhi feel frightened.

If he doesn't want to do this anymore one day, that madman will definitely not let him leave smoothly. And based on what their organization has done, the human side certainly can't go either. At that time, they might as well join the White Rose.

Anyway, with the boss's potential and strength, wouldn't it be easy to beat up everyone then?

Sunflower was enjoying the future happily, while Bai Yu was lost in thought.

Although he sometimes referred to ordinary plants and pollutants as the same kind, in this world, there were currently only three of them who were truly of the same kind, and they could barely be included in a system where different species were of equal camps.

Sunflowers and roses are plants that know each other well. They have worked together for hundreds of years, and their relationship cannot be summarized by the simple word "colleague".

What's more...Bai Yu lowered his head, and his eyes, which had turned dark green, reflected the other person's well-behaved face.

Sunflower joined an organization that was suspected to be hostile to his own faction.

Rose has already gained a certain status in it.

He also has access to a lot of information at the Qinghe City Investigation Bureau.

If the three of them can form an alliance, they will be a group independent of humans, and a group that can grasp certain information about both human forces at the same time. Although Sunflower and Rose are not very strong, they are friendly and reliable enough.

Bai Yu didn’t think he would work in the Investigation Bureau for the rest of his life, nor did he think he would disguise himself as a human forever.

Thinking of this, Bai Yu stretched out his right hand and rubbed the other person's soft light golden short hair, his eyebrows curved:

"Of course our relationship of hundreds of years will not change. If I need to find you, I will contact you through the system. If you want to find me, you can also contact me through Ye Zi—"

He plucked two newly grown rose leaves from his hair. After the system left its mental power on them, the emerald rose leaves began to emit a faint green light, and were then placed in Xiang Yang's palm.

"Got it. I'll give one to Rose. She should be dealing with something related to spores now. I'll tell her to find time to come over." He also laughed at the look in her eyes.

"No, I can't be away for too long, just tell her."

Bai Yu rejected the other party's proposal and then asked,

"The spore plague in Nanzhou...was it caused by you?"

"No, the spores were created by the organization in a laboratory two years ago. Yue Ji and I were not here at that time. If my information is correct, the spores were created by Dr. D of Nanzhou and have nothing to do with us."

According to the intelligence obtained by Rose, the messenger of God originally planned to release spores again next year. By that time, the world's pollution would be further aggravated, and the Four Continents Alliance would not be able to cope with it. The spore plague would be a heavy blow to the alliance.

However, Dr. D disobeyed the order and released the infected spores prematurely, and could not be contacted at all afterwards. That was why the messenger sent Rose to come and investigate, and by the way, transfer all the things in Dr. D's laboratory back.

The open and secret struggles within the human camp also require these two plants to investigate.

Xiang Yang let out a long sigh and felt a little depressed.

Then he heard Bai Yu give him a piece of news that made him even more upset.

"I advise you two to leave early."

Bai Yu thought about those three and kindly reminded,

"As far as I know, three executive officers are now in Mod City. This is the minimum number. As for whether there will be other executive officers coming, I am not sure."

"Are the three executive officers from Nanzhou all here? It's indeed a bit difficult. We should try to leave within three days."

"No, all the east, west and south ones are here."

"puff--"

Xiang Yang was startled for a moment.

"That... can't be the one from Dongzhou..."

When he was hiding in the teahouse, he felt that there was only a wall between him and a plate of spiced roasted melon seeds.

This combination of flying and fire abilities can completely suppress plants.

Under Xiang Yang's incredulous gaze, Bai Yu nodded.

"No, didn't he leave Nanzhou not long ago? How come he's back so soon?"

Xiang Yang took a deep breath to calm himself down.

"Okay, then I'll notify Ji Yue now and ask her to take her things and leave quickly."

**

**

Bai Yu didn't expect that less than ten hours later, he returned to the small town where he met the mature sunflowers.

Yesterday he ate a lot of spores floating in the air. After calculating the time, he felt it was about time, so he returned to the hotel along the same route. As a result, he only rested for one night, and was brought here early the next day by Chu Zehuai.

Along with them were pulled here, there were also several people who were thrown here together.

At the same time, two people who had never been seen before were added to the team.

One is a SA dressed in black robes and a black veil covering his face, and the other is a man holding a human-handled scepter, also dressed in black.

"This is the first time I've seen four executive officers together."

A few people followed at the back, and Li Song explained to them in a low voice.

"Those two are the executive officers of Nanzhou, right? This is the first time I've seen them. They feel... creepy."

Lin Mo looked at the scepter in the human hand and rubbed the goose bumps on his arms.

I heard that this is a very popular practice in South Africa. Using a person's hand or head to make a scepter can increase one's strength and wisdom.

Many South Africans may look no different from them on the surface, but actually have quite extreme beliefs... In some ways, feelings are more terrifying than pollutants.

"Look more, talk less, we won't stay in Nanzhou for long."

Be careful not to say anything that might touch upon any taboo in Nanzhou’s beliefs.

Li Song felt that since Chu Zehuai was dealing with other executives and couldn't take care of them, he needed to take care of these people he brought from Dongzhou.

Especially Lin Mo and his restless mouth.

"I understand. I will pay attention to it."

The whispering of a few people did not affect the conversation of the four people in front.

"K, why are you here?"

SA asked in a low voice, the other party should be secretly capturing the remnants of the Glorious Cult now.

Generally speaking, two executors will not go on the same mission, and the probability of an accidental meeting is extremely small.

"I didn't catch her. She ran away. Now I suspect—"

K also whispered.

Everything was planned, and the woman had walked into their trap without realizing it. But yesterday, as if she had suddenly received some news, she disappeared without a trace with the things before the trap was tightened.

The last trace she left before she disappeared was in Mod City.

SA's mood also became heavy. K suspected that there was an undercover agent among their South China investigators.

When it comes to the sensitive topic of undercover, both of them tacitly stopped talking about it.

It is not convenient to discuss such internal affairs of the South China Investigators in front of so many outsiders.

SA changed the subject and turned to what she was currently experiencing:

"Yesterday, spore people appeared in the Quartz Town of Mod City. I had people quarantine the townspeople in time and sent several experts to search for the source of infection in the town. But around 5 pm yesterday, the experts and the investigators who went in with them mysteriously disappeared."

"Was there anything unusual before you disappeared?"

K asked, and after seeing SA shook his head, he tapped the ground with the scepter in his hand.

"The miracles granted by the gods told me that this is very likely related to 'her', so I stayed and searched with you."

He did not lower his voice when he said this, and the people behind him heard it clearly.

"What is a miracle bestowed by the gods?" Lin Mo asked Li Song in a low voice.

He was not interested in Nanzhou and didn't know much about the customs and culture here.

"It's the sixth sense, commonly known as intuition."

Li Song has been an investigator longer than any of them, so he naturally knows more.

"The people of Nanzhou believe that everything they have, including their physical and mental abilities, comes from the gift of the gods."

What followed was a series of popular science lectures, which opened the eyes of several people.

Until Chu Zehuai appeared out of nowhere, stood next to Bai Yu, and poked the latter's arm.

"Captain Chu? What's going on?"

Bai Yu, who was listening with great interest, tilted his head, and Li Song also stopped talking.

"I remember that you have a strong sense of perception. Can you sense any traces of missing people here?"

Chu Zehuai remembered the other party's performance in Ping'an Town last time, and thought of letting Bai Yu give it a try.

Li Song opened his eyes wide: "Chu Zehuai, it's fine if you help Nanzhou yourself, but you also want Xiaobai to work for them?"

Could it be that this guy has feelings for Nanzhou, or has feelings for someone else?

Li Song looked at SA with a secretive gaze—a rare female executive in the Four Continents Alliance.

No, he couldn't see anything clearly through the black veil.

"Why do you always think in that direction?"

Chu Zehuai took a deep breath and stopped paying attention to his friend and colleague. Instead, he turned to look at Bai Yu.

"Go ahead and give it a try. Act as if things are tough. Whether you succeed or not, you'll always get something from them."

Hearing this, Bai Yu's eyes suddenly lit up.

If there is compensation, then everything is fine.

Bai Yu poked the system with a smile: [System, give me a display card.]

[I know, I know.]

With the help of the prop card, Bai Yu's "exploration" ability led everyone to a field of sunflowers, where they found several experts.

"Are they hiding in there?"

SA lamented that there was no investigator with such ability in their Nanzhou, while looking at the endless golden sea of ​​flowers.

"Yes, to be precise, they have now turned into a few sunflowers inside."

Bai Yu took a few steps back calmly and frowned slightly.

Just now, he felt the South Continent executive officer known as 'K' glance at his right hand with a strange look.

Chu Zehuai came closer and 'coincidentally' blocked K's gaze.

"Can you find out which ones they are?"

Chu Zehuai walked over and asked as if it was normal, and gave him a look at the same time.

Bai Yu understood immediately.

"I'll try, but I just used up a lot of energy, ahem."

Bai Yu coughed several times in a row and his face turned pale, showing that he had consumed too much energy.

"SA, the person has been found. If you can provide more details, the reward will be doubled."

Chu Zehuai turned around with satisfaction, his golden-orange eyes looking at the woman sitting on the ground doing divination, while not forgetting to block K's sight.

"good."

SA erases the traces drawn on the ground.

Since I can't tell the truth by divination, I can only let the other party ask for as much as he wants.

So, Bai Yu, who "spent a lot of energy and effort", "hardly" found several sunflowers transformed by experts, and finally leaned on Chu Zehuai's shoulder with a weak breath.

[I think your acting skills are now comparable to Yue Ji's.] The system exclaimed in admiration.

[After being inspired by her performance last time, I learned a lot about acting. ]

Bai Yu casually explained a few words and then focused his attention on the sunflowers.

[I seem to know why Xiang Yang appeared here yesterday. ]

The experts were investigating the spores, and Xiang Yang was trying to stop them from investigating the spores, so he turned them all into sunflowers.

This is the opponent's unique skill, which allows him to turn people into various kinds of sunflowers according to his wishes.

Whether he can move and speak, use his abilities, change back to his original form, and maintain his original color all depends on Xiang Yang's mood at the time.

[Hey, Bai Yu, Xiang Yang didn't turn these people into sunflowers permanently. I feel that the spiritual power above is only enough to last for forty-eight hours.]

The system was surprised for a moment, then it figured it out and sighed.

[Xiang Yang actually saved energy on this. It can be seen that he is indeed very short of energy.]

Fortunately, it followed Bai Yu and has now escaped from the dilemma of energy shortage.

The system thought thankfully, and at the same time realized another fact—

Even if Bai Yu did nothing, even if no one came to look for them, these experts would all change back to normal after forty-eight hours.

In other words, they took advantage of the South China region for nothing.

The system silently sympathized with the Nanzhou executive for a second, and then had a bold idea.

[Bai Yu, what do you think about us cooperating with Xiang Yang? ]

【Um? 】

[Let Xiang Yang keep turning people into sunflowers, and then we keep finding them. Anyway, we have just proved that the group of people can't find the people who were turned into sunflowers by Xiang Yang. In this way, he will turn you to find them, and the rewards in the middle will come in a rush, right?]

The system learned the honey trap without any instruction and is now dreaming of a bright future.

Bai Yu:.........

He moved his lips and was about to say something to the system when he heard Lin Mo, who was watching the digging of plants nearby, ask a question that instantly brought him back to reality:

"The root is the most important part of a plant, and these sunflowers are transformed from humans. Do you think the roots of sunflowers are transformed from the most important part of a man?"

When Lin Mo asked this soul-searching question, the people who were preparing to dig sunflowers were stunned, the executive officer who was giving the command was stunned, Bai Yu and Chu Zehuai, who was leaning on by the former, were both stunned.

That’s indeed a good question.

Several people holding shovels looked at the roots of the sunflowers, and for a moment they didn't know whether they should continue digging.

In the end, Bai Yu coughed twice to dispel their doubts: "They should be changing in geometric proportions. That position is the foot, not the place you think."

The few of them breathed a sigh of relief and started digging again.

The first sunflower was soon dug out.

SA glanced at Bai Yu, and once again felt sorry that the other party was not from Nanzhou, and then turned his attention back to the sunflower.

She reached out and held the middle stalk of the sunflower, looking at it carefully, trying to find the difference between this sunflower and ordinary sunflowers.

Bai Yu's voice sounded behind her: "On the contrary, the place where you are holding now looks like the most important area of ​​a man."

SA:......
