After Lu Ban replied to Qin Tiantian’s WeChat message, he looked at the tree again.

He didn't expect it to grow so fast. In just one day, this magical cherry tree grew from a seed into a towering tree.

Perhaps it was because of the power of the Old Ones who lived in the mountains of Jiangcheng.

He was quite thankful that he had obtained the development rights of Jiangcheng Mountain because the Old Ones were sealed here, so he could be considered the nominal owner of this place. Otherwise, it would be very difficult to do something on such a big tree.

However, I don’t know if it’s because the time has not come yet or for some other reason, but the tree didn’t bloom.

Lu Ban came to the tree and placed his hand on the trunk.

Countless words emerged.

[A big tree that uses pollution as nutrients can absorb most of the pollution. It is simple and easy to use]

[Fireproof, anti-theft, no need for watering, easy to grow]

[Under normal circumstances, it will not cause any serious environmental problems, but it cannot be guaranteed to be completely harmless]

[It is recommended to add some souls to bloom more beautiful flowers]

[Do not accept any belief, please do not kneel down to it]

"So there has to be a soul inside for it to bloom?"

Lu Ban was a little surprised.

But now he had no place to put the soul, so he could only leave the green trees to add some shade to Jiangcheng Mountain.

He was still thinking about how to combine the Divine Cherry with the [Morning Star] to create another magic net when he saw several people with cameras broadcasting a live broadcast.

"...This tree was grown overnight on Jiangcheng Mountain after absorbing the essence of our Virgin Mary. Its appearance marks that we are one step closer to the awakening of the Virgin Mary..."

The woman in white, who looked like a religious figure, was broadcasting live. Lu Ban listened from the side and it seemed that this foreign organization was reporting on Shenying.

They claimed that the tree was planted by their gods and were explaining it enthusiastically.

Lu Ban didn't care about this kind of thing.

There are many strange organizations in this world. Once something happens that cannot be explained by science, they will come out and claim that their organization is responsible for it. They take the opportunity to expand their influence, win over believers, and make money.

He heard that some organizations would collect money from believers and return it all, which seemed very generous, but in fact it was just to catch big fish. After returning the initial few thousand yuan, believers would donate tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands.

This organization probably heard the news and came here to take advantage of the popularity.

But Lu Ban had seen in the description of Shenying that it was written not to kneel down to her. Although he didn't know what would happen specifically, since she had said that she did not accept any beliefs, it would be better to persuade her.

He came to the person who was broadcasting live.

Li Chunzai, who was watching the live broadcast in front of the computer, noticed Lu Ban.

He was a college graduate from a country that liked to eat kimchi. His whole family were believers of this organization. When this big tree appeared in Jiangcheng, the first thing he thought of was the Virgin Mary whom he believed in.

How could such a wonder, such a magnificent sight, not be created by gods? ! ?

He suddenly became more determined.

But in the live broadcast room, a man suddenly interrupted the pastor's words.

"Excuse me, can I bother you for a moment?"

the man in sunglasses and a mask asked.

The pastor who was broadcasting live was a little confused, but then he thought that these were believers of his organization, so he stopped preaching to the god he believed in and looked at Lu Ban.

"What's the matter?"

"Well, it's best not to worship this tree. Something might go wrong."

The man said politely.

"Hmm? This is the sacred tree given to us by our Holy Mother. It is proof of God's love for the world. Who are you and why do you say that?"

The pastor who was broadcasting live immediately retorted and questioned.

"Actually, uh, I planted this tree, just yesterday."

Lu Ban could only tell the truth.

Seeing this scene, Li Chunzai, who was watching the live broadcast, almost laughed out loud.

"This guy is crazy. He planted the seeds, but he is still my son."

Li Chunzai couldn't help laughing.

The pastor who was broadcasting live was stunned. He thought that Lu Ban might be a member of some other organization who was looking for trouble, so he immediately changed his mind about preaching.

"In fact, it is each of us who plants this sacred tree. As long as we follow the Virgin Mary and dedicate ourselves, then everyone can plant this sacred tree."

Then she asked the cameraman to move the camera away, wanting to stay away from Lu Ban.

"I'm serious. It's not too late for you to turn back now."

Lu Ban persuaded again.

"Neuropathy."

The pastor who was broadcasting the live broadcast muttered something and ignored Lu Ban.

Lu Ban thought about it and decided that since the other party didn't listen to his advice, there was nothing he could do.

After all, he is not a devil, and he cannot use [Last Words] to open other people's minds and forcibly change their thoughts.

He also has to study the structure of the magic network.

night.

Li Chunzai saw that the photo of the sacred tree was being forwarded in the organization’s chat channel. Everyone was preparing to turn their prayers to this sacred tree tonight, and he was no exception.

After printing it out and hanging it on the altar at home, Li Chunzai and his family recited the prayer before meals, and after the meal, they felt relaxed and happy.

In the middle of the night, Li Chunzai lay in bed and prayed before going to sleep.

He closed his eyes and fell asleep. Suddenly, he felt a towering tree appear before his eyes.

Under the tree, there seemed to be a woman wearing a loose robe standing.

The woman's face was not clear. Li Chunzai wanted to go closer to take a look, but he couldn't get close enough.

At this moment, he felt his heartbeat quicken, and soon, Li Chunzai found that he was dreaming.

He woke up in shock, his head covered in cold sweat and his heart still filled with fear.

"Fortunately, it was just a dream..."

He sighed, then felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach, so he got up and went to the bathroom.

But as soon as he climbed out of bed, Li Chunzai saw that the lights in the living room seemed to be still on.

He came to the living room and found his father sitting on the sofa with his back to him.

"Dad, what's wrong?"

Li Chunzai asked, but his father did not respond.

He walked closer and found that there was a bloody hole in his father's stomach, and the internal organs seemed to have their own will and disappeared.

Li Chunzai was startled and wanted to call his mother, but he saw his mother lying in bed in his parents' room with an empty belly.

Suddenly, Li Chunzai heard a baby crying.

He quickly turned around and saw a baby's handprint on the white wall. The handprint was made of blood and was shocking.

A sharp pain came, and Li Chunzai felt as if his abdomen was being turned in a meat grinder. His legs went weak and he fell to the ground, twitching continuously.

The next moment, he saw a hand breaking out of his stomach, and a shadow emerged from the flesh and blood.

In his gradually blurred consciousness, Li Chunzai saw that the shadow seemed to be a woman.

"Hey, why are you here?"

The woman seemed to be very troubled and moved closer to Li Chunzai.

The vision gradually turned black. When Li Chunzai saw the woman's beautiful face, he even forgot his own pain.

The next moment, his entire body swelled up and turned into a twisted mass of flesh and blood.

In the bloody living room, three similar shadows looked at each other.

"Who are you?"

"Who are you?"

"Who are you?"
