The "Peach Blossom Spring" at night is actually not peaceful.
Because it is close to the forest, there are many insects and wild animals, so the noise is already noisy. It is also close to the village, so the crowing of chickens and barking of dogs are common. Not to mention the large and small machines in the courtyard. The deeper it gets at night, the clearer the sound of electricity and the sound of machines running. Along with the footsteps and voices of the staff who tried their best to be quiet, but it was particularly clear because of the late night.
——Artists can fall asleep at 2 o'clock, but the director team can't. They need to sort out and review the work of the day, prepare and arrange the next day's plan... After all the work, they are often busy until dawn. Therefore, in order to cope with the high-intensity work, the program team prepared three groups of people, ABC, to take turns to deal with it.
But directors are not so lucky, they can only take advantage of the artists' lazy sleep and take a nap for three or four hours after a busy day. If they encounter some who don't sleep much, they will go to bed at two o'clock and get up at six or seven in the morning, and it is common for them to not sleep all night.
On the day when Lin Lang and Su Mu arrived, the director team was supposed to be busy as usual. The daytime review meeting alone was prepared to last two hours. But the clock just passed three o'clock, and except for the sound of the still running machine, there was no sound outside the house, no human voice or insect chirping.
If there was a camera shooting outside the window at this moment, it would have captured an extremely strange scene - the staff members were lying on the ground in all directions, sleeping with their heads tilted. The directors who were frantically pouring coffee on themselves to stay alert were still drinking coffee, but they were snoring loudly, and they had no idea that the coffee was poured all over their chests.
Inside the house, the resident MCs, who usually need earmuffs and eye masks to fall asleep, wrapped themselves in quilts in a mess. Without any equipment to help them fall asleep, they slept very soundly and could not be woken up no matter what.
At this moment when everyone was inexplicably immersed in sleep, Su Mu and Lin Lang, who lived in the main house and the guest room, and Lin Yuan, who was staying in a neighbor's house with Zhou Yun and the program staff, all opened their eyes.
Lin Lang turned his right palm upwards from under the quilt, and a huge barrier suddenly enveloped the entire "Peach Blossom Spring" courtyard. All sounds were isolated outside the barrier, and even the most professional equipment could not record any sounds outside the barrier. At the same time, all cameras could only capture the "illusion" created by Lin Lang. Even if Lin Lang walked out of the room in a swagger, all cameras would only show an empty "Peach Blossom Spring".
Su Mu in another room felt the barrier set up by Lin Lang, and then he quickly turned over and got out of bed, not caring at all that his big movements would wake up his roommate.
——Whether it is the resident MC in the house, or the director group or film crew outside the house, the current sleep is not a natural event at all, but a deliberate act by a special existence.
A minute later, above the "Peach Blossom Spring" barrier, Lin Lang, Su Mu and Lin Yuan, who were wearing pajamas, met in the air under the starry sky.
Lin Lang looked up and down at Lin Yuan's clothes and couldn't help but laugh: "You have such lovely taste."
Lin Yuan was wearing a furry dark green dinosaur one-piece pajamas, complete with a dinosaur head hat, four claws, and a tail. Compared to ordinary pajamas that hang loosely on the body, this one-piece dinosaur pajamas is a little fluffy due to the material, and it looks simple and cute when worn.
"My brother bought it for me." Lin Yuan didn't think it was strange to wear a dinosaur one-piece pajamas at his age. Instead, he wagged his tail at the two of them and said proudly, "I also have one-piece panda pajamas and one-piece golden retriever pajamas at home."
Lin Lang gave a thumbs up: "Your brother has good taste."
Compared to Lin Yuan's pajamas, Su Mu and Lin Lang's pajamas were much simpler. One was an ordinary T-shirt and shorts, and the other was a light blue dress with small floral prints.
The three of them stood together, as if they were attending a midnight pajama party - if they were not floating strangely in the sky at the moment.
"You two should stop talking about pajamas for now." Su Mu looked at the forest not far away: "This aura should be a mutant, right?"
Lin Lang nodded: "Wood element... It seems to be another variant of the plant system?"
"Why do mutants appear wherever we go?" Lin Yuan, who had experienced three mutant incidents, sighed.
He thought it was normal to encounter ten such incidents in Parnaki a day, but why did he feel exhausted when he encountered three such incidents in a week on Earth?
Lin Lang glanced at the staff and breathed a sigh of relief: "There is no danger to their lives, they are just asleep."
"It looks like this aura isn't very strong, it's probably just starting to mutate." Lin Yuan took the lead: "Let's go, finish the things and go back to bed early, I don't want to stay up late."
The group flew over the roof of the "Peach Blossom Spring" and entered the area behind the mountain. A faint fragrance entered the noses of the three people. It was like the green pine cones picked up in the forest. The fragrance of wood and the smell of nut shells mixed together, diffusing an attractive pine scent that made people relax their nerves involuntarily.
The trees on the back hill of "Taohuayuan" are mainly cedars, a common and precious tree species. It has a large market whether for ornamental purposes or as timber. Its flowers, leaves, rhizomes or fruits are often used to make essential oils, which have a calming effect.
The mutant that has now caused everyone to fall into a deep sleep was originally an extremely large cedar tree that had grown for several years.
Perhaps it was because the mountains and forests were far away from the city and the concentration of magic was higher and purer, or it was because the arrival of Lin Lang and the other two had brought together a large amount of pure magic to the Peach Blossom Spring, but the cedar trees, which were already on the verge of mutation, unexpectedly mutated, and the fragrance they emitted filled the entire Peach Blossom Spring and the nearby villages.
Fortunately, it was already three o'clock in the morning, and no one was hanging around outside. All the villagers had already gone to their warm beds, and the aroma of the mutant cedar only improved everyone's sleep quality, and there was no danger to anyone.
——But this is only limited to night time.
When daybreak comes, if someone gets close to the range of the cedars and suddenly falls into a deep sleep, the consequences will be disastrous.
Unlike the previous Zhizhi or the vengeful spirits hiding in the library, although the development of their intelligence is different, they at least have basic thinking ability and wisdom, and know how to disguise themselves in front of them, hide their power, and prevent themselves from being discovered by humans and students.
Compared to them, the cedar tree that caused the "accident" in the middle of the night was too straightforward. The huge branches rapidly expanded due to the absorption of magic power, absorbing the vitality of all the surrounding trees, and domineeringly occupied the living space of plants that had not mutated and had not been absorbed, only giving them a little place to find sunlight, and used these trees as "reserve food" later.
By the time Lin Yuan and the other two arrived at the back mountain, this lawless tree had already swallowed up nearly thirty square meters of open space, and its height had also risen from the original six meters to twenty meters. It looked like a ferocious monster in front of the relatively short trees.
"It would be great if such a big tree could be hollowed out to build a tree house." Lin Lang looked at the mutant cedar with regret: "The leaves and fruits can be made into sleeping essential oil. There are not too many people suffering from insomnia these days. With its efficacy, it will definitely sell like hot cakes after it is put on the market."
"It's not bad to keep it." Su Mu also offered a suggestion: "Let it grow. When the branches become thicker and reach the thickness of ordinary tree stumps, cut them down and make furniture - such as 'a bed that can make you fall asleep in a second as long as you lie down on it', 'a pillow that can improve the quality of sleep' and so on."
"This style is too much like a health product." Lin Yuan complained: "It sounds like a three-no product that is designed to defraud the elderly."
The three of them approached the mutant cedar while complaining.
After noticing that there were still living people within his range, Cedar, who had not yet developed the ability to think, could only rely on his limited wisdom to increase the output of "hypnotic essential oil" again.
The "hypnotic essential oil" that was enough to make an elephant fall asleep was no different from ordinary air in front of Lin Yuan and the other two.
Lin Yuan waved his right hand in front of his nose like a fan, as if to fan away the strong fragrance around him. The next moment, a strong wind passed through the woods, carrying the fragrance and brushing against Lin Yuan and the other two straight into the sky, without even ruffling a strand of their hair.
Seeing that its usual attacks had no effect, the mutant cedar quickly switched its attack. Its thick roots sprouted from the soil and stabbed at Lin Yuan and the other two. However, before it could get close to them, it was cut into countless pieces by invisible wind blades and then hung in the air by the wind, preventing it from falling to the ground.
"Where should we put such a big tree?" Lin Yuan asked.
"Just shrink it down and plant it somewhere." Lin Lang offered his own opinion: "If it really doesn't work, put it in our classroom first. Every time a teacher other than Teacher Rui wants to enter our classroom, we will immediately let it release fragrance and let the teacher sleep until the end of the get out of class. I will also weave some good dreams for them and make sure they can't see any flaws!"
Lin Yuan: "...Teacher Rui won't agree."
"Compared to this, shouldn't we consider how to explain why such a large piece of open space disappeared?" Su Mu said, "We can't keep covering it up with illusions. It will be discovered one day in the future."
"If you ask me, don't cover it up. Let them find out openly." Lin Lang said, "Don't the directors like surprises and dramatic conflicts? I think this meets his requirements."
Su Mu: "...This isn't a surprise, it's a shock!"
"It's not that Lin Lang's opinion is useless." Lin Yuan said, "I can report this phenomenon that deviates from science directly to Major Zhang. We can also hand over the mutant cedar to them. They will handle all the explanations related to the mutant cedar for us."
This idea was unanimously agreed by Su Mu and Lin Lang.
So without further ado, the three of them cast their magic again. In the fish pond beside the Peach Blossom Spring, the calm water surface suddenly surged wildly, as if a storm at sea had awakened the sleeping fish.
The fish nervously dived towards the bottom of the pond. The next moment, most of the water in the pond turned into a tornado and rushed towards Su Mut's direction. Under his control, it turned into a giant hand and directly grabbed the trunk of the mutant cedar.
At the same time, Lin Yuan controlled the wind blade to cut the soil under the mutant cedar. The wind blade that could cut iron like mud turned into a shovel at this moment, digging the soil as easily as digging pudding. He dug out the mutant cedar with its roots, and let Su Mu use the giant hand transformed by the water flow to lift the mutant cedar and the soil directly into the air, leaving a huge pit with a diameter of nearly 50 meters. The back mountain that was originally "thick hair" turned directly into a "Mediterranean Sea", with a large bare area, which was very eye-catching.
While the two were carrying out the "big project", Lin Lang used his magic power to create a semicircular barrier, covering the entire mountain, ensuring that no sound would leak out.
Until the mutant cedar was controlled by Su Mu and hung in the air, Lin Lang used magic again, and a huge magic circle appeared under the mutant cedar. Although Lin Lang's magic was spiritual, and she was good at spiritual magic, she was very meticulous in the manipulation of magic. She could "copy" other people's magic by imitating the operation of other magic, so that she could use magic of all elements. However, "copying" was not authentic after all. Lin Lang could not copy overly complex elemental magic, such as magic that surpassed forbidden spells and the magic that the students of Class 9 had "hidden in the bottom of the box" with devastating power. But Lin Lang could easily use forbidden spells and magic comparable to intercontinental missiles.
With Lin Lang's current level of magic recovery, it is naturally impossible for him to "copy" forbidden magic, but it is still very simple to use some small "space magic".
There was no need for Lin Lang to explain the type of magic circle to Su Mu and Lin Yuan. The tacit understanding formed over the years allowed Su Mu to directly release the "hand" that imprisoned the mutant cedar, allowing the mutant cedar to fall towards the magic circle.
A flash of purple light appeared, and the huge cedar disappeared out of thin air.
As Lin Lang opened his hands again, the originally huge mutant cedar turned into a "plastic toy" less than two centimeters long and was thrown into Lin Yuan's hands by Lin Lang: "It's up to you to decide how to deal with it. If you report to Major Zhang, you have to give him the thing."
"Have you figured out how to explain to Major Zhang how to take it down?" Su Mu asked.
Lin Yuan sighed, "Who knows? Let's take it one step at a time. I now feel more and more that Bai Luoti's "Foundation" is a good plan. At the current frequency, we will encounter more and more mutants in the future. I can't always find excuses to ask Major Zhang to help deal with them. If it happens twice, he will definitely be suspicious of me... With the methods of those people, I think they must have become suspicious of me."
Just like the people on Earth cannot know how far magic can go, although the students in Class 9 are proficient in various kinds of magic, compared with their knowledge of magic, they are "ignorant" in science. The knowledge learned in high school is simply unable to cope with the country's endless scientific and technological means. Even if Major Zhang is willing to believe him now, it is only a matter of time before he is exposed.
If it really doesn't work, they can use magic to build a base on the high seas or the bottom of the sea. At least there will be a place to store mutants. As for more troubles, when their strength recovers to a certain level, they won't be troubles at all.
After leaving the trouble to Lin Yuan to deal with, Su Mu refilled the water into the fish pond and followed Lin Lang back to the "Peach Blossom Land".
As Lin Lang tore down the barrier, the two of them lay back on the bed and closed their eyes.
Ten minutes later——
Lin Lang released the barrier again and called Lin Yuan.
"Hello, Lin Yuan."
"What's wrong?"
"Bring me that mutant cedar and spray it with perfume." Lin Lang said sullenly, "I can't sleep."
Lin Yuan: "...Go count your sheep!"
...
The crowing of a rooster awakens the morning of Peach Blossom Spring.
The director stretched hard, yawned, and slowly opened his eyes on the recliner.
The fatigue from staying up late has completely disappeared, and my whole body feels as comfortable as if I had just run into a hot spring. The fragrance of flowers and plants lingers in the breeze, along with the rich aroma of coffee beans and the unique scent of instant coffee.
...coffee?
The director looked at his chest in shock - an empty plastic cup was hanging on his brown T-shirt, with a little solidified coffee stain at the bottom of the cup.
He was clearly wearing a white T-shirt!
"Am I so tired lately?" the director muttered to himself, "How come I didn't even notice the coffee spilled on me?"
The last trace of sleepiness completely disappeared, and the director realized that his chest was sticky and uncomfortable. But he didn't care much about it. Being a director has been through all kinds of dirty environments. He just needed to take a shower and change clothes.
Although he was unable to hold a review meeting last night, the rare good dream still made him feel good.
Let’s not make things so complicated today and just let them spend the day leisurely in the yard.
The director thought so and looked towards the direction of "Peach Blossom Land" out of habit, but the smile on his face froze at the corners of his lips in an instant.
"This, this, this...Xiao Yao!"
Assistant director Xiao Yao, who was also sleeping crookedly on the recliner, suddenly opened his eyes and subconsciously exclaimed, "What, what happened?"
But at this moment, the director had no time to notice why he also fell into a deep sleep. The director raised his hand, tremblingly pointed in the direction of the back mountain, and said to himself: "Look there... Is there something wrong with my eyes? Otherwise, why can't I see the trees?"
Xiao Yao looked blankly in the direction the director pointed and was completely dumbfounded.
"Where's...our tree?"
I have such a big tree!
Who chopped down my tree in the middle of the night!
...
#The disappearing tree in Peach Blossom Spring#
#Is it alien or man-made?#
The episode of "Goodbye Peach Blossom Land" in which Lin Lang and Su Mu participated has been a hot search for two days before it was broadcast on TV.
The incident started when a crew member of the "Goodbye Peach Blossom Spring" filming posted a short video on Xyin. The crew member, wearing a mask, took a selfie with the camera pointed at the "Peach Blossom Spring" courtyard and the back mountain behind him, and said in an exaggerated voice: "Family members, who understands! We woke up and found that our trees were stolen! Who is so wicked to steal trees from the mountain in the middle of the night! We bought all these trees with our own money. Such a large area of trees cost at least 70,000 yuan!"
Then, the staff member thoughtfully put up the comparison of "weekdays' Peach Blossom Spring", "night' Peach Blossom Spring" and "morning' Peach Blossom Spring". Because it is the latest material, it has not been processed or edited. In the background, there are even several resident MCs who walked out of the house in the morning and looked at the back mountain in shock, as well as Lin Lang and Su Mu who looked dazed, not knowing whether they were not slept enough or were "frightened" by reality.
As the two most discussed newcomers recently, the fans of Lin Lang and Su Mu who arrived first did not pay much attention to the content of the video at first. Instead, they regarded it as the first material after their debut, and it quickly became popular. The discussion content also mostly revolved around the fact that "the rumors that Lin Lang and Su Mu participated in "Goodbye Peach Blossom Land" are actually true."
But as more and more passers-by came in, the topic was gradually brought back on track.
"Netizen A: Seriously, this is a bit far-fetched, isn't it? So many trees were cut down overnight. Were all the artists and staff drugged? It was so noisy and no one noticed."
"Netizen B: If you ask me, this is just hype. How could such an outrageous thing happen? Even if their staff couldn't hear it, couldn't the residents nearby hear it?"
"Netizen C: I tried to zoom in on the video and took a look... Now I feel a little creepy... Were those trees really cut down by someone?"
Then, another netizen released a video analysis - the trees in the back mountain were not simply cut down with saws or axes, but they just looked bare from a distance. If you zoom in, you will find that most of the trees on the edge are abnormally dry, as if all the life was absorbed. Some of the cedars that are still alive have fallen directly to the ground, as if they were directly overturned by some huge force.
The closer you get to the center, the weirder the situation becomes: this is not logging as the general public knows, but rather the digging away of soil and tree roots, leaving behind a huge pit with a diameter of nearly fifty meters.
Later, fans who visited the studio or villagers living in nearby villages released videos or photos of the night before and after the incident, as well as surveillance videos of surrounding streets, confirming that the trees disappeared mysteriously overnight. The reason why the surrounding residents did not notice it was purely because the "disappearance" of the trees did not make any loud noise at all.
The incident has become very strange. A new comment has started a second wave of discussion about this matter.
"Netizen G: Although I don't know how these trees disappeared, but those dead trees... Can I say that I saw the same phenomenon near my home? And some terrible things happened afterwards! "
After this netizen’s comment became popular, he quickly posted a related video to prove that he was not exaggerating.
In the video, the netizen walked to her balcony with her phone and pointed the camera at the downstairs: a huge creeper climbed on the wall of her apartment. The vines were incredibly thick and looked like a giant anaconda against the green leaves. In the green belt downstairs in the community, even the most vigorous weeds had died in November, as if all the nutrients had been absorbed by the creeper.
"I don't know how to tell you, but please believe me, I'm not exaggerating." The netizen's voice was trembling, and he was obviously very scared: "Every midnight I feel someone knocking on my window. At first I thought it was the wind blowing pebbles on my window. After all, my house is on the sixth floor, and it is impossible for anyone to knock on my window outside. But just in case, I still locked all the windows. After all, there are thieves who descent from high altitudes to steal. That night I heard the sound of knocking on the window again, so I thought about going out to see what was going on, but I found..."
She took a deep breath, her voice choked with sobs: "It's this creeper. It's been trying to break open my window with its vines!"
The video ends here.
For a while, there were voices of doubt and discussion. Some were infected by the blogger's emotions, while others were also frightened. Some suspected that the blogger was making up a story to attract attention, and some wondered if the plants were mutants.
As more and more netizens followed the blogger's lead and shared the strange things they encountered, the crew of "Goodbye Peach Blossom Spring", which had been urged to release two days of nighttime video recordings for comparison, suddenly fell silent, and all staff members no longer responded to the "disappearing tree"; when they wanted to go to the crew to find out, they found that the area near the back mountain had been blocked by the authorities... These three things combined finally made this incident completely explode.
But just when netizens were arguing over whether it was "aliens coming to Earth" or "haunted", the authorities suddenly spoke out, saying that they had specially filmed an episode of "Science Approaches" to explain the strange phenomena in the back mountain of "Taohuayuan" to audiences across the country.
That night, the top ten hot searches were directly occupied by "Science Approaches".
『Theme』I am convinced, I am really convinced
1L: We were arguing for days about whether it was an unnatural event. I was so scared that I couldn't sleep well and thought the end of the world was coming. Then you told me that someone in the surrounding village was going to build a house and was afraid that the noise of chopping trees would be too loud, so they ran to the mountain to secretly dig trees at night. It happened that the production crew drank a little and fell asleep that day, and didn't notice the noise outside at all, so such a big mistake happened!
2L: I told you to believe in science. Look, you got slapped in the face, right?
3L: But I still find it very strange. The explanation is a bit too strong, and many details don't stand up to scrutiny.
4L: Give me back my expectations! I have been looking forward to the end of the world for a long time, and I am ready to rush into our boss’ office and give him ten big slaps in the face!
5L: The authorities are lying! This is ****! It’s not about digging trees!
6L: What is being blocked above?
7L: OP, this is "Science and Technology Approach", do you still expect them to give you a satisfactory answer?
8L: To reply to 7L, I think this is a very reliable development. I still remember the village that "Approaching Science" went to last time. It was said that there were monsters wandering around at night. A group of scientists investigated for a long time and found that someone in the village snored too loudly, and the sound insulation in the village was too poor, so it was mistaken for a monster.
9L: ...I’m really drunk.

Major Zhang looked at Lin Yuan, Lin Lang and Su Mu, who were lined up in front of him with their heads hunched like three quails, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
What a sin!
How did I end up with these three funny guys?
"Anyway, I've suppressed the matter for you." Major Zhang put his hands behind his back and taught him a lesson: "Be careful in the future and don't cause such a big thing again!"
"At least the mutant has been captured by the country, right?" Lin Yuan said to the two of them in a playful manner, "We originally just wanted to investigate its details, and we didn't expect to be attacked suddenly. With no other options, we can only choose to protect ourselves."
Major Zhang squinted at him and sneered, "You didn't hide your fox tail well, and it finally showed up! You even lied to me that you didn't learn magic - how could you make such a big fuss without learning magic?"
Lin Yuan scratched his head and smiled awkwardly: "It's just a little magic to save your life. I'm afraid it would be too abrupt for the three of us to master magic, so I want to wait until I hear someone can use magic before telling you."
Major Zhang snorted, but did not doubt Lin Yuan's words: "You are so smart at such a young age. Come on, stop hiding it. Tell me what magic you can do. There are quite a few of you 'travelers' who can use magic now. You won't stand out."
"I only know those few points. I have already told you all of them!" Lin Yuan said quickly.
"Can such a little magic subdue the mutant Cedar?" Major Zhang was a little skeptical.
"It doesn't have much attack power itself." Lin Yuan explained, "It only has the effect of hypnosis. The magic we three have is indeed useless, but we have props to help us - lighters, cooking oil and so on. Anyway, we three are not afraid of its hypnosis, and we can burn it to death. I didn't expect that after being attacked by us, it suddenly shrank and became what it is now. After that, we were afraid that there was pollution left in the soil, so we had to deal with this circle of soil overnight."
While Lin Yuan was negotiating with Major Zhang, Lin Lang on the side had dark waves flowing in his eyes, and he used magic to silently influence Major Zhang's mind.
With Lin Lang's support, Major Zhang did not ask any further questions and nodded to put the matter behind him.
Su Mu was a little curious and couldn't help asking, "Major Zhang, I see there has been a lot of controversy online these days. Can a book like "Approaching Science" really explain it all?"
Major Zhang didn't need to hide anything about this matter, and explained directly to the three people: "As the concentration of magic power increases, there will be more and more mutants in the future. We don't know how long this situation will last before it completely breaks out. It's better to open up than to block. Instead of keeping the people in a situation where the truth is blocked, it's better to use a half-truth and half-false method to prepare them mentally. We have to give them a long enough buffer period so that they can accept that this world is about to end."
At this point, Major Zhang could not help but let out a long sigh, his eyes filled with anxiety about the future and worry about the fate of mankind.
Lin Yuan and the other two couldn't help but fall into silence.
"I feel really guilty right now." Lin Yuan said sullenly in the internal channel: "If they can have the information we know, they will be more comfortable facing the future."
"Or find a way to tell them all the information in a roundabout way." Su Mu suggested: "Don't tell them in person, just pretend that the ancestor appeared or something."
Lin Yuan: "...Isn't it a bit too abrupt?"
Su Mu: "Why do you care about such trivial details? The point is to pass on the information!"
"Don't be so stupid as to share all the information." Lin Lang added: "Remember to keep half of the information from Parnagi. It's not that I don't trust our country, but in this situation, there will definitely be some information sharing between countries. Those countries that have conducted human experiments and have broken through the bottom line in the past, what if they target Parnagi to study chemical weapons, what will happen to those Parnagi lives that don't know magic or have weak magic?"
Lin Yuan and Su Mu fell silent again.
Lin Lang then said, "You two idiots, stop staring at Major Zhang. At least look around for us. Although our country has not yet systematically accessed the magic core, we must be vigilant and prepared."
As an assassin who needs to keep an eye on all directions and an actor who has been performing in theaters for a long time, Lin Lang is sensitive to other people's emotions and micro-expressions and has the ability to capture all details. Compared with her, Su Mu, a mermaid, has excellent hearing and dynamic vision, is better at violent output, and lacks static observation ability; as a temple guard knight, his work is more about clearing out monsters, preaching, protecting the dignity of the goddess, and handling various matters for the church. Lin Yuan, who is good at fighting, guarding, and handling complicated work, is far inferior to Lin Lang in this respect.
Under Lin Lang's guidance, the two soon discovered something hidden under Major Zhang's hat, mostly covered by his hair and collar, that looked like an electrode sheet, which seemed to be used to monitor brain waves or carotid artery pulsation frequency. And something hung around Major Zhang's waist, which looked like a walkie-talkie, but was actually much more complicated, and seemed to be monitoring some data in real time, much like the "magic detection device" that Song Mingzhe had told them about before.
There are many small props like this that are exquisite, hidden but have complex functions, such as pinhole cameras made in the shape of buttons, eavesdroppers, etc.
Apparently, the country has developed a device that can scientifically detect fluctuations in magical power, and by monitoring changes in Major Zhang's heart rate and brain waves, it can determine whether he was hypnotized by magic during his conversation with the three people.
Even with these two safeguards, they still chose to eavesdrop secretly. Perhaps at this moment there were several professors of psychology, linguistics, and criminal investigation experts sitting in the conference room, analyzing the performance of the three people frame by frame.
Not far away, the staff of the Special Events Management Bureau were signing confidentiality agreements with the staff of Goodbye Peach Blossom Spring one by one...
In handling the incident, compared to these Class 9 students whose personal abilities have been developed to the extreme, a country with a professional team and thousands of years of experience is obviously much more reliable than them.
Facing the end of the world, "travelers" are the only "hope" that the country can contact. But just like the students of Class 9 are still wavering between Parnaki and the Earth, even if they are still human beings after living in the other world for several years, the country dare not guarantee whether there are radical "travelers" among them, or even "rat on the earth".
They rely on, trust and use "travelers", but they also have to be wary of "travelers". Especially since these "travelers" have been exposed to "magic" which is full of fantasy and violates scientific laws before them.
This set of equipment was indeed very effective against other "traversers", but their "opponent" happened to be Lin Lang, a top assassin who was proficient in magic control and possessed a natural magic.
From the moment she met Major Zhang, she sensed something was wrong, so she relied on her innate ability to release her mental power, rather than magic, to "hypnotize" Major Zhang. She was also well versed in how a person's emotions change, so even when it was "hypnosis", she did it perfectly, without letting anyone notice anything was wrong.
At least with the current technology on Earth, it is almost impossible to detect it.
When the three of them were thinking about their own things, Major Zhang, who had been silent for a long time, spoke again.
"But you guys still brought us trouble in the end. In exchange for helping you solve the trouble—" Major Zhang looked at the three people in front of him, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly: "I have a mission that I hope you can carry out."
"We?" Su Mu asked curiously, "Among the three of us, isn't Lin Yuan the only civil servant?"
Major Zhang smiled and said, "If you choose to take this mission, you and Lin Lang will also be civil servants in the future."
Su Mu didn't hesitate: "I'll take it!"
As a student from Province S, who can refuse a civil servant? Not even the Mermaid King!
