Half a month ago, in a high-end residential complex in Dongcheng, a pale, thin, tall man in a white suit stood in the living room and respectfully said to the man sitting on the sofa watching TV, "Sir, all the high-end goods from Sucheng have been discovered and rescued. Please punish them!"
This man was none other than Wang Qinghong, the head of the Wang family in Haicheng.
After he finished speaking, he placed one hand on his chest and knelt on one knee. A flash of red light flashed in his dark eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.
A man covered in a black cloak was holding a remote control in his hand, watching the police and gangster movie on TV without blinking, and he was watching it with great interest.
"You humans are really interesting." A deep, rich voice came from under the cloak. "I like your intelligence, but what you did this time really disappointed me."
Wang Qinghong apologized in a low voice: "This time it was the negligence of the subordinates. I didn't expect the news to leak so quickly and the people from the Sucheng Guard to arrive so promptly."
"That's enough, they are just some small fish and shrimps. Remember to clean up their tails and don't delay our next move. Otherwise, you know the result." The cloaked man glanced at Wang Qinghong, instantly frightening him so much that he broke out in a cold sweat.
As if he had enjoyed his fear enough, he whispered, "I hope you won't let me down again about the East City School. After all, this is a big fish. We've been laying the groundwork for so long. If anything goes wrong again, your entire family will have to pay for it."
Hearing the last sentence, Wang Qinghong was so frightened that he fell to the ground and promised, "Yes, sir, we will definitely, definitely get this done!"
The cloaked man turned his head and looked at him for a long time before he stretched out a black finger with sharp nails and waved it towards Wang Qinghong. A wisp of black smoke flew out from the man's fingertips, coiled around and flew into Wang Qinghong's forehead.
"Go ahead, don't let me down this time."
"Yes, my lord."
Wang Qinghong woke up from his memories, and a red light flashed in his dark eyes. He put away his watch and walked towards the door. It was time to help the parents of the students who were anxiously waiting for their children at the door. Presumably, if he put them into the trial garden to save their children, they would be very grateful to him.
"Hahahaha~" The laughter faded away with his footsteps.
In the square, many parents were heartbroken when they saw their children crying on the display screen. They kept rushing to the school gate, but were stopped outside when they wanted to enter.
"Let us in, we want to save the children!"
"Open the door!"
"Hurry up and save them!!"
"Open the door!"
“Bang, bang, bang!”
The parents shouted loudly at the door and banged on the iron door, trying to open it.
"Don't crowd, don't worry. Security personnel have been dispatched to rescue the students. Everything will be fine soon!"
The security guard at the school gate shouted to the parents outside through the big iron gate.
"This is a normal entrance test. There will be special security guards protecting you. Don't worry, don't squeeze!"
The security guards tried hard to maintain order and calm the parents down.
Mother Xiao, holding Lai Fu, and Father Xiao were also squeezed to the side of the iron gate by the crowd. Lai Fu at her feet kept barking.
"What should I do? Xiao...Xiaobai won't be... okay, right?" Mother Xiao was squeezed so hard that her speech was intermittent.
"First, put Lai Fu in there first and let him go find Xiao Bai. If we go, we might just hinder her."
Father and Mother Xiao are very self-aware. Although they don't know their daughter's level of cultivation, their daughter has been training for so long under the arrangement of the clan leader, and she is definitely much stronger than them. Even the little animals in the house are stronger than them. So although they are worried, they dare not rush to rescue anyone.
"Let's wait for her outside." As soon as Mr. Xiao finished speaking, he felt a lightness in front of him and someone pushed him hard from behind. He, Mrs. Xiao, and Lai Fu were carried into the school by the crowd.
It turned out that at some point, the big iron gate blocking the way was opened, and the parents rushed in.
In the trial garden, Xiao Bai hugged the branches of the banyan tree tightly, trying to steady her body. She watched the mutated banyan tree continuously pull out roots from the ground, gradually pulling out all the roots, standing upright on the thick roots, and moving the roots continuously forward.
Xiao Bai frantically called out to the Book Spirit in his mind: "Book Spirit, Book Spirit, what's going on?! Why did this mutant banyan tree suddenly go crazy? And even pulled out all its own roots!!" No, why can a plant walk on its own?!
Is it strange that plants can walk? Don't our mutant vines also walk?
Xiao Bai:...
Xiao Bai: No, the point I want to ask is, why did this big banyan tree go crazy?
[Hmm... Let me take a look...]
After the Book Spirit finished speaking, it began to fly up and down around the mutant banyan tree for a few circles, and then flew in front of Xiao Bai and shouted:
[Oh no! Someone has planted a dark core in the trunk of this mutated banyan tree, turning it into a contaminated dark plant!]
Xiao Bai: Didn't you tell me before that plants have a hard time mutating, and even harder to be contaminated by dark matter?! Most plants can't resist the invasion of dark matter and will die before they mutate!
[Yes, that's true for ordinary plants! But for plants that have mutated through spiritual energy or spiritual cores, their ability to resist dark matter becomes stronger. If they are contaminated by dark matter, they will easily become dark plants! No, who would be so perverted as to bury so many dark cores in a single plant!]
Xiao Bai: So is there any way to prevent the banyan tree from going crazy?
[There's nothing I can do about it. The banyan tree is also feeling uncomfortable. Dark matter can make plants feel uncomfortable and drive them crazy.]
Xiao Bai: Damn! What use are you!
[That's not true, but at least I know where it wants to go now that it's pulled its roots out.]
Xiao Bai: Stop keeping me in suspense and tell me now!
[It wants to find the school's spirit core and use it to suppress the dark matter in the tree trunk.]
Xiao Bai: Can't we just be direct and find the dark core inside its trunk?
The Book Spirit rolled its eyes. "If you want to be contaminated by dark matter, I won't stop you. If it's an unactivated dark core, of course, no problem. But if you touch an activated dark core, you're courting death!"
The mutated banyan tree waved countless branches and kept moving forward. Suddenly, a student who was running away was pierced through the head by the waving branches, and a peanut-sized soul core fell out, reflecting a faint light in the sunlight.
Before Xiao Bai recovered from the shock of her student being shot in the head, she saw the spirit core. The next moment, her eyes widened in horror, and she saw the branches of the banyan tree wrapped around the peanut-sized spirit core and gradually absorbed it.
She saw a white light emanating from the spirit core. The light followed the branches into the banyan tree and disappeared into the trunk. As the light flickered, it gradually weakened and the spirit core finally disappeared completely.
[Not good!] The book spirit’s cry of alarm echoed in his mind.
