The next morning, Qinghe City Investigation Bureau.
"Why didn't my brother come again?"
Lin Mo looked at the empty space opposite Bai Yu and asked in confusion.
"He finished a week's work yesterday and was exhausted, so he needed to rest. I've already asked for half a day off for him, so don't worry."
Bai Yu turned the pen in his hand and said with a smile.
"So that's how it is. The workload has been a bit scary lately."
Lin Mo recalled that he had worked overtime until late at night yesterday, and his face was filled with lingering fear.
“That’s not entirely the reason.”
Bai Yu took a sip of the plant happy water.
"So my brother finished all the tasks for the week at once? I remember my mother told him to finish it within three days."
...
...
Lin Mo held his chin with his hand and silently recorded this incident in "My Strong Brother Throughout My Life".
Yuan Xue pushed his glasses and looked at the ignorant black crow with contempt.
Tsk, I wonder what Dark Night Crow learned when he was watching movies and sharing resources with the two of them in the group.
He didn’t learn what he should learn, and he also didn’t learn what he shouldn’t learn...well, from now on, it seems that Lin Mo has learned nothing.
"If you want to think so, then think so."
Bai Yu didn't want to talk to Lin Mo on this topic for a long time, so he began to focus on his work. As a result, within two minutes, Lin Mo dragged a chair over.
"Well, I asked about my brother mainly to make sure if he would suddenly show up."
Lin Mo looked cautiously outside the window and at the office door, and spoke in a low voice.
"What's wrong?"
Bai Yu raised his eyebrows. Did the Dark Night Crow want to commit suicide again because Chu Zehuai was not around?
"Xiao Bai, can you come with me to do the mission? The intensity of the work these days is too high. I feel like my heart is going to die of boredom, but I can't not do it. If we go together, the mission may not be so boring."
If his brother saw him asking Xiaobai to go out on a mission together, he would definitely be jealous and angry, so he asked Xiaobai to prevent his brother from suddenly appearing at the door.
Bai Yu thought Lin Mo was going to say something:...
Seeing his friend looking like he was about to die of boredom and annoyance, Bai Yu sighed, "Okay."
"That's great, Xiaobai. I knew you were my best friend. I'll give you half of the mission reward. Let's go!"
**
The mission this time is to remove a Class C earthworm contamination from a village.
A dark pink worm several dozen meters long was crawling on the ground in a twisted and dark manner. The rings on its body moved as it crawled. Its mouth with sharp teeth directly gnawed away half of the house, and mud bricks and straw were scattered all over the ground.
"This guy has really good teeth."
Listening to the 'crunching' sound of bricks being crushed, Lin Mo, who was hiding behind the wall, complained.
"Never mind. It's going to be toothless soon anyway."
Bai Yu's hands have turned into vines, looking for the best time to attack.
"Do you want to come on?"
Lin Mo asked as he looked at his friend who seemed to be in a fighting state.
"If you want to go, then go ahead. It's your mission after all."
Bai Yu glanced at his friend who was also eager to try.
"Maybe we can each take half. I remember the biology book saying that even if an earthworm is cut into two parts, it can still grow into two small earthworms. The same should be true for earthworm contaminants. If we split into two, we can work together to kill the enemy."
The pitch-black wings behind Lin Mo spread out, and with the whistling sound of the wind, he flew directly above the earthworm contaminants. The sharp feathers on the edge of the wings passed through the air, and a sound of breaking through the air burst out in the afterimage.
The earthworm contaminant instantly broke into two halves.
However, it did not turn into two small earthworms as Lin Mo expected. It died without even struggling or twisting.
Because Lin Mo cut it vertically.
Bai Yu:.........
"That's weird. I remember reading in a book that earthworms can survive if cut in half. Could it be that after becoming pollutants, they no longer have this property?"
Lin Mo touched his chin and looked at the two halves of the earthworm with suspicion, then turned to look at his friend.
"Xiaobai, what do you think?"
Bai Yu: “I just think that the name that Grandpa Shen gave you after the prophecy is indeed quite suitable.”
Seeing that Lin Mo was still thinking and wanted to say something, Bai Yu sighed: "Let's clean up the situation. I'll go collect the bodies and you record the process."
"good."
Lin Mo still hasn't figured out why his friend said that, but he has one advantage, which is that he doesn't think about things he doesn't understand, so he simply chooses to forget what he just said and happily records the task process.
Bai Yu took out storage box No. 1 and put the earthworms that were cut in half vertically into it.
But as he was taking the final step, a dark mark on the earthworm's head caught his attention.
Four-pointed star.
Is this another pollutant created by the Glorious Cult? I didn't expect that they would dare to mark it so openly. They are really brave.
No, it’s not that he’s brave, it’s very likely that he’s deliberately provoking.
Bai Yu pursed his lips, took a photo and sent it back, then turned to look at Lin Mo who was recording the surroundings: "Dark Night Demon Crow, did you find anything wrong?"
Lin Mo, who was holding the mission recorder, nodded and said, "I did find something wrong. Xiaobai, come and take a look. It came out of the soil, but I felt it and found that its path in the soil is only a straight line from 100 meters below to the ground."
Normally, if an earthworm stays here for a long time, there should be winding routes underground that it has dug.
This straight line looks more like something that was placed underground by humans and then climbed straight up after waking up.
Bai Yu glanced at Lin Mo with relief, and said, "I also found a clue here, about-"
Before he finished speaking, he heard the other party say firmly:
"It should be the mating season for earthworms now, but this guy doesn't even think about building a nest and finding a wife, he just keeps crawling around like a worm. There's definitely something wrong with him."
Bai Yu: ....Can I really continue to be an investigator with this IQ?
**
First Squad Office.
"Sister Yuan, let me tell you, we have just discovered the evil deeds of the Glorious Cult! They actually dumped pollutants in our Dongzhou. Xiaobai and I have just reported it."
Lin Mo pushed open the office door, sat down on his chair, and then pulled the chair in front of Yuan Xue.
"Xiao Bai must have discovered it."
Yuan Xue glanced at him.
"How do you know that?"
Lin Mo was shocked. Could it be that Xiaobai had secretly told him something?
That's not right. There's nothing to tell.
"I knew it right away. With your personality of only caring about killing pollutants and not caring about anything else, you wouldn't have noticed it if the clues weren't dancing in your face."
Yuan Xue gave Lin Mo a look that said, "You figure it out yourself," and said.
"Hmm, I see. I have another question. Why don't you look surprised at all?"
Lin Mo touched his chin. Sister Yuan acted as if it was a common occurrence for such an important matter.
"Because a lot of such incidents have happened recently. The Glorious Cult has been provoking the entire four continents. Not to mention other places, just in Qinghe City, many investigators have found that pollutants have four-pointed stars on them."
Yuan Xue pushed her glasses and looked at Lin Mo from behind the lenses.
This guy likes gossip, but he only likes to listen to all kinds of melodramatic stories or which team has new members. If he had listened to the missions of other teams, he would not ask such a stupid question.
"I get a headache just thinking about the mission. I don't even want to hear about my own mission, let alone the missions of other team members..."
Lin Mo said angrily, but before he finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed and he squatted down, holding his stomach.
In just a few dozen seconds, his face had turned extremely pale and beads of sweat were sliding down his forehead.
This sudden change shocked Yuan Xue and Bai Yu so much that they stood up from their chairs on the spot. The former squatted down to ask, and the latter immediately contacted a doctor.
"What's wrong? Lin Mo, can you still see me now? Can you hear me? Are you still conscious?"
Bai Yu calmed down and asked according to what he had read in the book before.
"Yes, my stomach hurts so much, it feels like an electric drill has drilled a hole in it, it hurts so much—"
Lin Mo's short hair was already wet with sweat and was now hanging down against his head. His eyes were red and he began to cry uncontrollably because of the pain.
"Is there something wrong with this mission?"
Yuan Xue began to quickly flip through the mission reports that she had not yet submitted.
"I feel like it's just an ordinary pollutant, but it was killed by Lin Mo. I didn't do it, so I can't be sure."
Until now, people still cannot figure out the capabilities of the pollutants in detail, not to mention that the pollutants from this kind of insects might have splashed venom or parasitic eggs onto Lin Mo at the moment of their death.
Bai Yu took out a piece of candy and stuffed it into the other person's mouth, then picked him up and ran straight to the medical room.
The doctor is too slow in coming, and he definitely doesn’t bring any testing equipment. It would be better to just bring the patient over directly.
The medical room was not far from here, and as the two of them looked extremely anxious, the doctor, who was just about to go to the office, immediately put down his emergency bag and took Lin Mo directly to the testing table.
Pollution value: Normal.
Parasite detection: normal.
White blood cell index: high.
.........
Bai Yu didn't quite understand the detailed test results, but he could understand the first two results: "Does this result mean that Lin Mo's current appearance has nothing to do with the pollutants?"
The doctor wearing a mask nodded, but his language was still very strict:
"So far, nothing has been found that can be detected and is related to pollution, but pollution is unpredictable now, and no one knows whether something that cannot be detected by machines has appeared."
Afterwards, he didn't bother to talk to Bai Yu and pulled Lin Mo to undergo a series of examinations.
Blood routine test, biochemical test, film...
After half an hour of struggling, when Lin Mo was about to faint from the pain, the doctor finally came to a conclusion.
"Acute appendicitis, prepare for surgery."
**
Chu Zehuai, who was preparing to go to work in the afternoon, had just stepped into the door of the Investigation Bureau and had not even seen his own office when he was hurriedly dragged to the hospital by Bai Yu.
Hospital, in front of the ward
"Lin Mo has acute appendicitis?"
He looked at his brother lying behind the glass door, then looked at Yuan Xue who was sitting in the corridor talking to the doctor, and asked.
It was a little unexpected, but not unacceptable.
The awakened ones just have additional powers. They don't suddenly change from carbon-based creatures to silicon-based creatures, nor do they become invincible supermen.
Since, like ordinary people, one can die from a punctured heart, excessive blood loss, or severe infection, it is natural that, like ordinary people, one has the same chance of getting acute appendicitis.
"Well, it happened very suddenly. I didn't have time to inform you at the time. Yuan Xue and I pushed Lin Mo directly into the hospital. But don't worry, the doctor has completed the operation. It went smoothly. Lin Mo is now in good health."
Bai Yu on the side nodded, and her phoenix eyes followed Chu Zehuai's gaze and fell on the person lying inside.
Logically speaking, the operation had been completed, and Chu Zehuai didn't need to come to the hospital, but he felt that if Lin Mo woke up after the operation and couldn't see any relatives, he might be very sad.
He also went to find Director Chu, but the other party had gone to Linjiang City for a meeting, and Grandpa Chu was in an old house far away. The only relative of Lin Mo who could come was Chu Zehuai.
While the two were talking, the person in the ward moved, opened his dark eyes, and looked at the person outside in confusion: "Brother?"
The crow, which was originally full of energy and lively, now looked as if it was dying, with a pale face and a helpless expression.
After getting the doctor's consent, Chu Zehuai opened the door and walked in. He sat beside the bed and held the other's cold hand: "How do you feel now?"
"Brother, I felt like I was about to die. I seemed to see my father and grandmother."
Lin Mo said in a weak voice.
"Don't let your imagination run wild. The operation is--" over.
"Brother, don't talk yet. Listen to me. Before I die, I have something to tell you."
It seemed that Lin Mo had not yet recovered from the general anesthesia, and his whole body was jumping between a state of clarity and confusion.
"You talk, I listen."
"In fact, I have thought about it for a long time. One day I will die early, but what will happen to mom, grandpa and you? Later I figured it out. Born in this family and working in this industry, living to the end of life is already a blessing from God. Most people die halfway. But I didn't expect that this day would come so soon."
Lin Mo choked up, holding Chu Zehuai's hand and trembling slightly.
"I haven't fulfilled my filial duty to my mother, gone fishing with my grandfather, stood shoulder to shoulder with you, or gone shopping with Xiaobai. Life's things really need to be done early, otherwise, when the day comes for death, I will find that there are too many regrets in life."
Chu Zehuai didn't say anything, but just silently held the other person's hand.
"I just thought a lot and felt sad. I died so young and I really didn't want to accept it. But I have accepted it now. Chu family members must learn to face and accept everything that happens to them. I accept that I will die, but brother, I hope you will live."
Chu Zehuai fell silent.
Although Lin Mo is always rude and makes him angry, he is also stupid and suicidal, but he is really one of the few people in the world who cares about him.
I just didn't expect that the other person had an operation and was given general anesthesia, and that mouth that only knew how to seek death and irritate people would actually say such touching words.
"I will, Night Crow, listen to me, your life is not in danger..."
"Brother, I feel relieved when I hear you say this. If you leave, Xiaobai will become a widower. His family was not good to begin with, and without you, he will feel even worse. Promise me that you will take good care of Xiaobai and don't let him be sad."
Chu Zehuai slowly typed a question mark while speaking.
So his brother let him live simply for Bai Yu's sake?
Thinking of this, the touching feeling just now disappeared from Chu Zehuai's heart like the receding tide.
Lin Mo, who hadn't noticed that his brother's eyes had turned dangerous, smiled with relief: "If you agree, from now on we will be... half-brothers, and the closest family."
"My family, I'm so sleepy. I'm going to sleep first."
After saying that, he fell asleep on the bed, and in less than a minute, he was snoring.
Chu Zehuai didn't know what to say:...
Should he thank his dear cousin for further purifying the blood relationship between them?
