Chapter 104 Chapter 104 Bai Tianming...
Bai Tianming brought Gideon, Joseph, and the other deep divers to the newly cultivated garden. He pushed open the fence and pointed to the soft, slightly reddish-black soil inside. Standing at the doorway, he smiled and asked, "Look, is this it?"
Joseph blinked his eyes and looked around. There was no one around, not even a shadow. It was extremely quiet.
Even the sounds here were only the wind blowing past my ears and a faint rustling sound, which I didn't know whether it came from the crawling of insects underground.
There were indeed densely packed seeds planted in the soil not far away, because those seeds had sprouted to some extent, with tender stems, green leaves, tiny, barely noticeable flower buds, and pink and white petals.
A little bit of tender yellow stamen peeks out from the half-opened flower, like a poisonous snake spitting out a distorted forked tongue from its scarlet mouth, quietly hiding in the shadow of the plants, vaguely testing whether it has been discovered, while observing the reaction of its prey.
Not far away was another field. The flower field was surrounded by a thorny fence. The fences were not high and could only reach the waist of the divers. If they were taller, they could stand next to it and bend down slightly to reach their hands in.
Perhaps to prevent such a situation from occurring, the black fence is placed at a certain distance from the nearest germinated seed, ensuring that even if someone is tall enough to stand next to the fence and bend down, they will not be able to reach the leaves of the plant.
Whether it's the thorns here or the fence here, or the distance between the fence and the plants, they are all trying to protect these plants as much as possible.
But there was no one around, which made the divers feel uneasy when looking at some of the plants, as if they had accidentally entered the back garden of a serial killer, with a corpse buried in every piece of land under their feet and an urn hidden under every flower. Otherwise, why would no one be watching?
If they took such care of even a trivial fence, how could they be so confident as to leave without even arranging a single person here?
This is so weird, it feels like a trap!
Joseph looked around, wondering if the other deep divers had the same idea as he did, but after a quick glance, he immediately realized that he was the only one who thought so.
After the other divers withdrew their gazes, they all showed a relaxed expression on their faces. They all thought that since there was no one here for the time being, it must be because the area was vast and sparsely populated, so they couldn't take care of the flowers for the time being. The people who lived nearby and took care of the flowers should be taking care of other flowers somewhere else.
They are safe.
They can start taking action immediately and leave quickly after completing the task, so that they don't have to suffer from panic and anxiety. As long as they leave here, they can go anywhere.
They even had a vague sense of joy that was revealed in their bodies, like a row of glass jars filled with honey, with the honey overflowing from the open mouths of the jars. Although none of the jars had lids yet, some honey had already flowed down the glass walls of the jars and out.
The entire deserted garden was infected by their happy mood, almost like a quiet garden cemetery-themed party.
Joseph suddenly felt as if a stone was choking his throat.
Forget it, not knowing is a good thing. At least there is no need to be afraid. Just be happy. If we will all die in the next moment, it is better to be happy before death than to be sad before death.
Joseph closed his eyes, pretending he hadn't noticed anything, and therefore said nothing.
Moreover, if he thought about it carefully, he should obey Bai Tianming's orders now, so why remind these former companions? Even if they were of the same kind, there was no need. He could not disobey his master, and as for other matters, he could not care less.
Anyway, he shouldn't be blamed. Why should he take it on himself?
Joseph opened his eyes and convinced himself in his heart. His expression softened naturally and he looked no different from the others around him. He remained silent and waited for the result.
Gideon looked around excitedly, and even strode to the side, standing at the edge of another fence. He reached out and touched the young seedlings protected by the fence. The green leaves trembled in his hand, and he pinched them hard.
A fingernail mark immediately appeared on the green leaves that were so tender that they were almost dripping with water, and a little tender green sticky juice overflowed.
The liquid was slightly white and gave off a faint sweet smell. If you smelled it carefully, it had a pungent smell like mustard, which made people gasp involuntarily and feel an itch in their throat, causing them to cough unconsciously.
Gideon withdrew his hand, glanced at the sticky white juice of the plant on his hand, didn't care, touched his fingers, and ran back to Bai Tianming with a smile. Like a puppy wagging its tail, he looked up and said, "This is indeed a garden!"
He coughed involuntarily twice while speaking, but still didn't take it seriously. He just thought he was pricked by the smell of plants and didn't think it was a big deal.
However, without his knowledge, white hair had begun to grow in his throat. This was because the seeds of the plants had flown in through his nose while he was not paying attention and had begun to take root and sprout.
Under normal circumstances, he should have noticed it long ago, but as the plant sprouted, its newly grown roots penetrated into his flesh and blood. Through the dense roots, it injected toxins into his body, controlling his brain and making him feel neither pain nor dizziness. Naturally, he was unaware of the result.
"Well then," Bai Tianming glanced around, his eyes a hint of ice floating on hot water, and he smiled, "Isn't the mission to destroy the garden? The soil and plants are right in front of you, you can get started."
He persuaded her patiently, like melted butter: "Everything is right in front of us. Don't wait for anything. Let's get this done as soon as possible and get out of this damn place."
Gideon agreed deeply and nodded vigorously. He turned around, waved to everyone, and urged them impatiently, "Why don't you go quickly?"
The Deep Ones spread out, ready to destroy the soil and plants.
Gideon also wanted to follow the other Deep Ones to do the destruction, but he didn't know what Bai Tianming was going to do. He thought that he might be able to help, so he hesitated for a moment.
Bai Tianming noticed his hesitation and asked him, "Why?"
Gideon blinked, nervous yet curious, and blurted out, "Where are the things you prepared?"
This is both a question and an answer, because he was confused, which is why he didn't leave immediately, and it doesn't count as answering the question irrelevantly.
He just asked casually, but after asking, he suddenly became suspicious.
Yes, he thought Bai Tianming was sent by Cthulhu, so he felt that all of Bai Tianming's actions were excusable. After all, the people sent by Cthulhu were here to help them.
However, after Bai Tianming appeared, he did not do anything else along the way except leading the way. He also appeared suddenly, which was really suspicious. Why didn't he think of it and feel strange?
Even if Cthulhu is stronger than Ksira, both in terms of reputation and seniority, these deep divers who are ordered by Ksira should obey this messenger of Cthulhu. It is not surprising that the other side looks down on them. However, this person should have things to do, so why didn't he see the things that can do things?
These deep divers don't bring anything special with them because they are already very polluting, and anything they do is enough to cause damage.
But these damages are only basic and may be restored after a period of time, or if the owner of this place is willing to contribute money and effort, the damage they have done will probably disappear without a trace.
Therefore, in fact, the main person who contributed to the destruction here should be the messenger of Cthulhu.
Well, it can't be that only one person comes without anything, right? Gideon didn't doubt the ability of Cthulhu's messenger, but if there is something, it is better than nothing.
If he admitted his mistake, he would definitely fall into a deeper fear than he was now. He immediately looked at Bai Tianming with an expectant and slightly panicked look, hoping that Bai Tianming would give him a positive answer and not make him feel scared as if he had stepped on empty air.
Bai Tianming understood his gaze, raised his eyebrows, and said with a half-smile: "When will it be your turn to ask me?"
Gideon blinked, startled, and fell to his knees with a thud, lowering his head and saying subconsciously, "I'm sorry!"
Although the deep sea is not a place with clear hierarchy, it is not a place of complete equality either. When he was in doubt, he immediately forgot about the hierarchy.
Now I suddenly remember it.
If those who are higher in rank than him really want to kill him, they don't have to do it themselves. If they are still in the deep sea, if the other side frowns, someone will immediately find a way and he will not live to the next day.
Thinking of this, his scalp felt tingling, as if he was walking on a tightrope high in the air. His heart was pounding, his face turned pale, and he couldn't stop feeling annoyed.
How could I have been so cautious all along and suddenly forgotten?
Hope that's not too offensive!
Give me a way to live!
Gideon closed his eyes and prayed silently in his heart.
Bai Tianming saw that he didn't dare to ask any more questions, and had no intention of pursuing the matter. He just said coldly, "Don't think I'm easy to bully just because I'm easy to talk to. I know how to carry out the orders from above, and you don't need to ask. If you ask again, I will quit. In the end, it was all because of your endless questions that I missed the opportunity. I won't intercede for you."
Gideon nodded repeatedly: "I understand."
"Get up." Bai Tianming turned his back to him, took two steps to the side, kept a distance, made his attitude clear, and said lightly.
Gideon climbed up, feeling lucky to have survived, and his affection for Bai Tianming grew even stronger. "Thank you!"
