Chapter 82 Chapter 82 Chapter 82 (Two in One)…
There was indeed a hole on Boss Liu's head.
The edges were smooth, without any traces of blood, but a trace of green plant juice could be seen.
This scene was truly horrifying. Even the most experienced guardian felt a phantom pain on his head when he saw it.
Hua Yi guessed that Luo Shi would really be scared. After all, he was a student, still young and ungraduated.
Luo Shizhen's personality looks very well-behaved. What expression would he have if he was scared?
He looked at Luo Shizhen's expression leisurely, waiting for him to show a frightened expression.
Luo Shizhen didn't react at all.
It was as if this was not a hole in a person's head, but a hole in the flowers and plants on the roadside.
He even stretched out his hand and tentatively placed it above the hole to see if he could sense the smell of pollution.
Hua Yi thought he was just forcing himself, but after observing his eyes carefully, he found that they were still as clear as before, and his expression was completely focused, without any sign of being frightened.
Has the school provided them with training in this area?
Hua Yi felt a little regretful that he didn't get to see Sui An's students make a fool of themselves.
Luo Shizhen didn't notice Hua Yi's regret, and was still investigating carefully. Finally, he shook his head:
"I can't help it."
He couldn't sense any pollution at all, not even biscuits, let alone biscuit crumbs.
Hua Yi had anticipated this, so it wasn't a surprise to her:
"We will take the person back for examination. You can read the report for the specific results."
Luo Shizhen pointed to the bark on the ground again: "Can I see that?"
Hua Yi looked at him and hesitated for a second: "Okay, let's see."
Logically speaking, they definitely cannot let ordinary people touch anything weird, even if it is a dead creature.
After all, even if there is even a little bit of pollution on it, it may kill an ordinary person on the spot instantly.
However, Hua Yi knew Luo Shizhen's true identity, so he turned a blind eye.
Moreover, Luo Shi is really an energy person. He is sensitive to Qi bodies and pollution. Maybe he can really discover something.
Luo Shizhen walked to the bark, picked up a small stick on the ground, and poked it gently.
The bark is also clean, without any pollution, and looks like an ordinary piece of bark.
He stood up and shook his head at Hua Yi.
Hua Yi wasn't too surprised and signaled the team members to bag the bark: "Let's go."
He walked past Luo Shizhen, glanced at the hair whorl of the man in front of him, and said with a half-smile:
"Old man, you are so old, you must take care of your health."
Although Hua Yi didn't know what mission Luo Shizhen and others had, they were in disguise, they were famous, and now something had happened to the owner of the restaurant near Zhenjiaguan, so everything was very obvious.
These students are really inexperienced and fearless. They even dare to deliberately bring evil upon themselves.
Even if Sui An was there, it would be too bold.
He pointed at Luo Shizhen, but Luo Shizhen didn't understand. He was still in the persona of a seventy-year-old man, lowering his voice and revealing a kind smile:
"Thank you for your concern."
Hua Yi thought that he was pretending quite well. Looking at his kind eyes, if you didn't know better, you would think he was a grandfather looking at his grandchildren.
He took his people away, and the rest of the merchants who dared only watch from afar gathered around cautiously. Liuji Restaurant was temporarily closed, and no one dared to go in. They only talked at the door about what was going on.
"I saw it, there's a huge hole on the top of his head! Someone must have sucked out his brains, right? I heard zombies like to eat brains too!"
"It doesn't look like it. If he was really sucked dry, how could he still walk on his own? I think Boss Liu is fine except for his dull eyes."
"There's a hole in the top of my head, how can it be healed?"
Luo Shizhen was still looking down at the spot on the ground where the bark had been placed when a merchant came over to chat with him:
"Doctor Zhen, your old man is this!"
He gave a thumbs-up and began to praise, "I saw your Zhen Family Restaurant on TV. I never thought you could cure pollution. You're a miracle doctor! If I had known, I would have come to visit you sooner."
Once this person started the conversation, the owners of other shops immediately stopped bothering to figure out what was going on with Boss Liu.
If you can get some connections with a miracle doctor who can cure pollution, in this world, it's almost like having a golden medal of immunity from death.
These bosses are all businessmen, and they usually greet and see off guests. Even if they are not good at speaking, they have practiced it. They never repeat themselves when praising others, and they all have earnest smiles on their faces, which looks sincere no matter how you look at them.
Luo Shizhen could turn a blind eye to negative comments, but he had no power to resist such direct praise.
Xia Guo has always judged students based on their academic performance. Even if the teachers like Luo Shizhen, they will not praise him every day.
So in the first nineteen years of his life, he actually received very little praise. It was usually his grandmother and close teachers who praised him.
Only a student with good grades like Chu Xiao would be praised by a group of people wherever he goes.
When it came to Luo Shizhen, all he had to say was, "This kid is honest."
He used to feel down because of this, but he slowly adjusted himself later on, as if he was born with a stupid brain and there was nothing he could do about it. Since he couldn't change it, he could only adapt to it.
This resulted in a group of people surrounding Luo Shizhen and praising him. He knew in his heart that they were praising "Zhen Shiluo", but he couldn't help but feel happy.
He was also worried because he rarely encountered such situations and had no idea how to respond.
Fortunately, Assistant Cheng stepped in in time: "Thank you, bosses, but Dr. Zhen has patients this afternoon, so we have to go back first. We'll talk next time."
Luo Shizhen was like a big star. He was protected by Cheng Yunshao and walked out of the crowd. He was greeted with respectful gazes and greetings from the patients in line.
The patient who was being treated just now had been cleared of contamination and was led by Cheng Yunshao to another room to smell the fragrance of the medicine.
Luo Shizhen stayed in the treatment room alone, and a blush of excitement appeared on his face. He secretly encouraged himself and went to pick up the things that had fallen on the ground.
He was cleaning up when he suddenly felt a little greedy. This greed came unexpectedly. Luo Shizhen was used to being hungry all the time, so he took out a piece of bread from the cupboard and ate it while his eyes subconsciously looked around the house.
Luo Shizhen himself didn't realize that his action was just like a lion smelling its prey, and his expression was a little excited.
Finally, his eyes fell on a potted plant on the windowsill.
Most people who open shops here grow some plants, which make the shops look more beautiful and stylish.
Of course, the Zhen family house also had some potted plants. Xiao Shan bought them personally from the flower and bird market. He bought more than a dozen pots at once and placed them neatly on the windowsill.
The students were all young people, none of whom had ever grown plants or thought of watering them.
Lu Qiujin is a wood type, and the Lu family's company is in the seed business, but he himself never raises plants. Because even if there is any problem with the plants, he can use his ability to stimulate them to grow and they will get better immediately.
As a result, they actually survived well and looked pretty good, so Lu Qiujin didn't have to use any of her abilities at all.
One day, Luo Shizhen suddenly remembered that plants needed to be watered or fertilized. He looked up some information and planned to take good care of them in the future. As a result, he saw Teacher Sui's spiritual power, watering the flowers with a kettle.
It turns out that these plants have been growing well because Teacher Sui is taking care of them.
From then on, Luo Shizhen would check the growth of these plants every morning when he came.
If you see them more often, you will remember what they look like.
Now, at a glance, he immediately discovered that the Kalanchoe flower originally occupied the entire pot, but now there was a piece of grass next to it.
This grass looks like an ordinary weed, but it looks strangely tempting.
Luo Shizhen swallowed and took out his cell phone to check.
Can humans eat grass?
Can weeds be eaten?
[Can we eat weeds grown in pots raw? ]
He didn't have this habit before. When he was a child, he wanted to eat everything he saw on the roadside, and he would pick unfamiliar fruits and put them in his mouth.
Later, his grandmother was afraid that he would be poisoned, so she asked him to check whether there was any poison before eating. Since then, Luo Shizhen only ate food that he thought was safe.
This grass looks safe no matter how you look at it, and the word "delicious" is written all over it.
If it were someone else, even if they thought the grass looked delicious, they would not actually eat it.
It's okay if it's a child, but no adult would do such a thing.
But Luo Shizhen checked and found that there was no rule that said weeds could not be eaten, so he immediately became excited and thought that it was okay to eat them.
But eating it raw is unhygienic, so try another way of eating it.
Luo Shizhen walked over, pulled out the weeds, and without even looking at them, washed them at the sink. Then he went to the small kitchen, took a small pot and started to boil water.
Cheng Yunshao came out after settling the patient, and it was not surprising to see him boiling water.
Luo Shizhen has a big appetite, eats a lot, and gets hungry quickly. He often eats several meals a day, so when Cheng Yunshao chose the address of Zhenjiaguan, he specifically chose one with a kitchen.
"Do you want to eat? I'll call your number later."
Luo Shi was so greedy: "It's okay, I'll eat quickly and finish it right away."
Cheng Yunshao just thought he wanted to eat noodles, nodded and left the kitchen.
The water boiled, and Luo Shizhen couldn't wait to throw the washed weeds in. He also carefully prepared the dipping sauce, chopped up some chili peppers, poured vinegar in, and put it in, intending to eat it with the dip later.
After thinking about it, I beat an egg into it and made a poached egg. It has both meat and vegetables and is very healthy.
The weed had been quiet all along. It made no sound when it was pulled out, and it made no sound when it was held in the hand and washed.
Now thrown into the boiling water, it was completely unable to move and was struggling and rolling around in the water.
But because the water was boiling, Luo Shizhen thought it was just weeds being pushed by the water, so he stood in front of the pot with chopsticks in his hand, waiting for it to cook.
I don't know what kind of grass this is. After cooking it for almost five minutes, it's still green and doesn't show any sign of being cooked.
The poached eggs are ready.
Luo Shizhen poked it with chopsticks and simply stopped waiting. He picked it up and put it on top of the poached egg and took a bite of it together.
As I took a bite, I seemed to hear a shrill scream in my ears.
It was vague, as if it was near and yet far away, and I couldn't hear it clearly.
Luo Shizhen:?
If it were someone else, they might put down their chopsticks and go to see where the scream came from.
But Luo Shi is really different.
He looked around, holding the chopsticks in one hand and the bowl in the other, picking up food while eating and pushing open the window to look out.
Yes, from childhood to adulthood, whenever he was eating, even if there was a sudden incident, he would watch it while eating.
Because he was distracted, Luo Shizhen's eyes were not on the chopsticks, and he didn't even notice that the wild grass he was chewing bit by bit actually began to twist by itself.
After finishing the last bite, he drank a sip of water with satisfaction and smoothed his chest:
"Assistant Cheng, did you hear anyone calling?"
Cheng Yunshao came out: "No, I didn't hear anything."
Luo Shizhen scratched his head: "Maybe I heard it wrong."
At the same time, a tall tree in the center of Luoxia City suddenly collapsed.
There is nothing wrong with a tree falling down. The key point is that after it falls down, it breaks into pieces, revealing the overlapping bones inside.
They were all human bones, and the number even exceeded a hundred. This sudden scene scared passers-by. Who would have thought that the trees they passed by every day would actually eat people.
The Guardian Center immediately sent people to surround the area and discovered that most of the human bones had been reported missing. The police had searched for them for a long time but couldn't find them, yet they were right under their noses.
Not only were they investigating what was going on, but in the darkness of the night, two strange figures flashed by, with green cat-like eyes, staring at the huge collapsed tree in confusion.
"How could he die suddenly? Wasn't he at level five, the best at hiding?"
"It looks like it wasn't done by the guardian, so it must have been done by one of our own kind. How despicable!"
Green eyes looked strange and extremely angry:
"I told you long ago that He's delicious. Why don't we share Him? You insisted on cooperating with Him and not eating Him. Look what's happened now. We haven't even had a single bite!"
The other weird one was also very angry: "Don't be so wise after the event! When I mentioned cooperation before, didn't you object?"
"What is Zhuge Liang?"
"Illiterate, even Zhuge Liang didn't know that I told you to absorb the memory of smart people. What can you achieve by absorbing the memory of someone with only an elementary school education? Look at me, I'm absorbing the memory of a college student. Look how smart I am now."
Green Eyes licked his lips strangely. "Wasn't it too late then? But it doesn't matter. I found a very smart person among humans. Many people say he is amazing. He can even treat pollution. Once I absorb him, I will be the smartest one. By then, the guardian will not be ours. Our... uh..."
The memory of what he absorbed was a solid illiterate memory, and he simply didn't know how to describe it.
"The illiterate are our defeated enemies!"
"Yes, a defeated opponent. Haha, this tree wanted to snatch it from me before. Now that 'He' is dead, I can have the doctor all to myself."
Above the two strange creatures, a scent of flowers wafted by.
They were imagining the future when they suddenly became stiff with fear.
"High, high level..."
They were so terrified that they dared not move until the fragrance of flowers passed by overhead, and then they quickly ran away.
The petals ignored the two strange creatures and continued to move forward, swaying in the wind like ordinary petals.
But wherever He passed by, whether ordinary people or guardians, they instantly fell into intoxication, their eyes dull, and they stood still.
The petals floated down to the ground, and when they touched the ground, a naked jade-white ankle landed on the ground with a bell hanging on the ankle.
The boy had bells hanging on his limbs, and every time he moved, the bells would tinkle. He sat down and gently stroked the fallen tree, with a look of pity on his face.
"They ate it so cleanly, there was nothing left."
"What a pity."
His gaze shifted to the passersby, guards, and policemen with dazed expressions, and he began to laugh again.
"Now that the main meal is gone, it would be nice to have some dessert."
There were more and more petals in the sky, almost covering everyone present.
The young man, who was showing a satisfied look, suddenly stopped and looked back into the distance.
He saw several men dressed in high-level guardian attire running towards him quickly.
"That's fast~"
A sharp dagger carrying the Qi of a high-level awakener flew from a distance and pierced through the boy's chest. In an instant, his human form turned into scattered petals again.
The petals were swept by the wind and flew away into the distance.
After these high-level awakeners arrived, they immediately checked the conditions of the others and were relieved to see that they were still alive.
Someone wanted to chase after him, but was stopped:
"Don't go. We've detected him as an eighth-level monster. If you chase him, you might get killed. Report him first."
The petals floated away, and when they fell to the ground, they became a young boy again.
He landed in an alley, and a cell phone was ringing, so he naturally picked it up.
His tone was full of joy, like that of a naive young boy who had not yet experienced the world:
"Brother, I didn't hear the ringtone just now. I'm back from my trip, and I brought your favorite candied crisps~"
The person on the other end of the phone was puzzled and surprised: "How do you know I like to eat sugar cakes? I loved them when I was a child, but after I grew up, I never had the chance to eat them much, and I never told anyone."
The young man smiled:
"I like you, brother. Of course I know what you like. Wait for me, brother. I'll take a taxi and come right over."
But the other side refused: "No, don't come over yet, I'm not at home, there is something at home that may need to be dealt with."
The boy's face gradually darkened. He looked at the piece of bark in his hand, but his tone remained innocent and gentle:
"Well, okay, I'll wait for my brother to handle it."
A faint white mist lingered on the bark. Fear appeared on the boy's face as he tried to attack. The petals fell but were quickly swallowed by the white mist.
He quickly threw away the bark, his expression changing from bright to dark.
“How could it be…”
The boy pondered for a while and made another call.
There was no sound from the other end, and he was used to it. He only asked, "Are you sure he's dead?"
He didn't say who He was, but the person on the other end of the line understood.
A frivolous female voice came from the other end: "If He wasn't dead, why would His power be scattered everywhere? Are you asking me if I'm afraid? Are you afraid that He will resurrect and eat you?"
The young man didn't answer, but only sneered: "But how did I discover His power? Although it is very slight, I can be sure that this is His power."
"His power is scattered everywhere. Even ordinary humans have remnants of his power. You may have only seen the power left by one human."
"You know, He eats everything. If He were to be resurrected, wouldn't humans be more delicious than us? He'd already devoured these humans, and the world would be in chaos. Although humans are weak, they're still quite formidable if they truly rebel. How is it possible that there's still no news?"
"Besides, He has no soul. You and I saw it with our own eyes, didn't we? His body completely disintegrated, which means he's truly dead."
The woman yawned, imitating a human. "I'm not going to talk to you anymore. I'm going to continue sleeping."
At this point, a hint of gloom appeared in her voice. "Those damn guardians! If it weren't for them, I wouldn't be recovering from my injuries yet. Just wait, when I wake up, I'll make sure they're in trouble."
After the phone call was hung up, the boy stood by the wall, staring at the bark on the ground for a moment, and still couldn't help frowning.
I knew rationally that my companion was right, but deep down I had a feeling that something was wrong.
In his mind, a ball of white mist that seemed to swallow up the entire world flashed by.
He clearly found Him, but what was going on with this wisp of fresh white mist?
"Is it just residual power?"
The good news was that the woman also believed that He was dead. Then, the boy turned into petals and flew in one direction.
The young man standing in the yard of the Zou family villa put down his mobile phone, feeling a little sad, and looked at the photo of Zou Tangzheng in it.
"Still no news from Dad?"
My sister shook her head. "The police have been looking for him, but they have no leads. The surveillance footage hasn't shown anything either. Luckily, Dad wasn't found in the tree today. In this situation, no news is the best news."
The young man hummed dully. Although his mother and father had divorced a long time ago and he and his sister were not close to their father, the memories of the family being together when they were young were still there.
He doesn't like his father's cheating, but when he was young, he had a very close relationship with his father.
At that time, every time his father came back from a business trip, he would bring his favorite candied crisps. Later, his parents divorced, and he never ate candied crisps again.
My sister added, "The police called again today to ask if we or Mom and Dad have any enemies. There's only been one missing person case like this, and they might be targeting Dad."
The young man shook his head: "I just graduated, how could I have any enemies, Dad..."
He sighed, "He's in a deceptive business, so he's bound to have enemies."
"That's what I told the police too. I hope it helps."
She patted her brother's shoulder and asked, "You said before that senior in the company who was always mean to you, is he still bullying you? Do you want me to ask your brother-in-law to help you with that?"
"No need." The young man breathed a sigh of relief. "I don't know what happened to him. He committed suicide. Maybe he was under too much pressure, so he treated me badly before."
"Although it's a bit sad, I'm doing much better in the company now. There was a client who was quite difficult to deal with, but suddenly he gave us a big order and became much nicer to us. Now, apart from the issue with my father, everything is going well for me. Don't worry about me."
My sister sighed, "Before, Dad didn't approve of you and your boyfriend being together. Hey, I said you two were having an ugly quarrel, but I didn't expect something like this to happen."
As the brother and sister were talking, a gust of wind blew by, and a petal slowly fell and landed on his head.
When his sister saw it, she wanted to reach out and help him take it off, but when she touched it, it suddenly hissed.
"Sister? What's wrong?"
"It's okay, I just feel like I got pricked. Why are there thorns on this petal?"
The young man fumbled doubtfully as he plucked off a petal and held it in his palm: "There are no thorns."
My sister looked at the blood drop on her finger, wiped it off, and said nothing seriously: "Maybe it fell off."
The petals lay quietly in the young man's palm, their colors so bright that they were dazzling.
