Chapter 426 Don’t think too much, I’m full of energy
A half-meter-tall shrub with gray but very dense leaves and dense thorns growing on it, which is more dangerous than a rose.
Carefully push aside the layers of leaves and branches, and in the deepest part of the shrub, three pale fruits hang.
The mouth and nose are complete, and the facial features are just like Lynch himself, but his eyes are tightly closed, and his skin is pale, without any blood.
It was as if Lynch had his head cut off, and his hair was hung up to flutter in the wind. It would be even more like it if there were dark red liquid dripping from the bottom.
The four of them looked at each other, unable to find the words to comment.
This thing is just weird after being picked off. Who would have thought that it would be so weird hanging on a branch.
If it absorbs enough vitality to grow into a tree, the fruit will also be enlarged to the size of a real human head. If someone passes by in the middle of the night, they might be frightened to death on the spot.
We gathered in a circle and looked at this weird thing. No one wanted to talk, and Lin Qi felt like he wanted to cry without tears.
Why is this happening? How could the world become like this? He is obviously doing serious things, and he obviously has a bright goal. Why he does what he does and what he uses are all weird, and he is indistinguishable from a cultist.
“Mystery is like this. Ordinary soul-shifters only need to fight against mystery, and all behaviors related to forbidden knowledge must integrate themselves into weirdness and mystery. This is just the beginning.”
Diana smiled and comforted Lynch's troubled heart very considerately, but the words she said made Lynch even more sad.
"Why are there only three? Didn't you say there would be five to six?" Officer Natalie looked a little tangled between the fruits and Lynch, "And why are they so dry and skinny? It doesn't look like that. It's like this when it's cut. "
"What do you want to do? I told you that murder is illegal." Lynch covered his neck and hid, "But indeed, why are there so few?"
Diana? The young lady looked at the two of them with admiration: "It turns out that you really didn't listen at all during the training."
ha? Did you talk about it in class?
The expressions of the two are almost the same.
The Countess sighed and explained: "Ms. Nightingale said that this thing is closely related to the growth environment, and is also directly related to the energy of the person who watered it. The more energetic the waterer is, the more energetic the watering person is. It will grow better if the waterer..."
"Stop! Don't think about it. I'm full of energy. I just haven't slept well these days. It doesn't mean anything."
Lin Qi's face was blue. This thing is a test. Device? And it’s absolutely not allowed, I am absolutely energetic...
“It’s just that I may not have slept well, or my soul may be unstable, so I don’t have enough energy.”
Miss Diana blinked her big innocent eyes and looked at Lynch with a confused look on her face, not understanding why he suddenly had such a big reaction.
"Haha, I, that's what I mean."
Lin Qi felt his face getting hot and quickly looked away, not daring to look into those shining eyes.
Two low laughs came from the side, causing Lin Qi to glare angrily. You two silly girls understood and were watching the fun, right?
Unfortunately, with his wandering eyes, he did not notice that when he looked away, those big innocent eyes suddenly curved into crescents, and his eyes were filled with a sly smile. However, when he looked back By that time, the countess's expression had returned to confusion.
“Ahem, this should be considered mature, right?”
"Well, Ms. Nightingale said that the fruits will mature gradually within forty-eight to seventy-two hours, depending on the situation. The ten we planted on the first day have all entered the maturity stage, and as long as we see the human head Taking shape means it’s ready for picking.”
“Finally…”
I have been struggling with this troublesome and dangerous memory for these few days, just for these few days. It is a weird thing, and now it is finally time to harvest it. As long as it is available, the medicine of the Fifth Age will no longer be a problem, and I will have no worries.
Lynch looked at the three ladies, and all three nodded at him.
Well, neighbors bless.
Lin Qi licked his lips, took a deep breath, grabbed the apple-sized fruit, and pulled it down hard.
It was easy to get it, but the faces of the four people became solemn.
"The eyes did not open." Miss Diana sighed and whispered: "Still fetus." Yes, after picking it off, the mouth and eyes of the fruit were tightly closed, still like a lifeless heart. The head was not as lifelike as the ones brought back by the previous two testers.
It is not easy to cultivate human face fruit because the final survival rate is not high. In fact, these stillborn fruits can also absorb the vitality of surrounding creatures and rejuvenate in this way.
But that was a bit too inhumane. Even in his memory, Lynch did not intend to do it unless he had to. What’s more important is that after doing so, the city would be absorbed by his own industry. People will also be drained of their vitality and die, which is completely impossible.
“What a pity.”
If one is stillborn, every bush is stillborn. Officer Natalie looked regretful, and just as she was about to draw her sword to cut off the bush, Lynch swung his serrated sword first and glared at her.
This silly girl is comfortable with being struck by a sword, but she always does it herself.
The police officer stared back without showing any signs of weakness, but the corners of her mouth were slightly raised. However, someone next to her felt that something was wrong, so she quickly inserted herself between the two of them and crushed the three stillborn fruits in a serious manner.
Tsk, my head exploded.
Tsk, my head exploded again.
Girl, why do you look so happy and happy? Do you still remember that you are stepping on the Human Face Fruit?
Fortunately, everyone chose the tactic of casting a wide net. One stillborn fetus was nothing. There was still one tree in this batch, so the four of them immediately turned to the second tree.
The second plant only bore two fruits, which made Lynch even less confident in his energy.
And it was also stillborn.
Well, it’s not surprising that two trees were stillborn in a row, but when they found out that the third tree was still born, the four of them were a little bit murmuring.
This has exceeded the normal mortality rate, something is wrong.
With anxiety, the four of them found the fourth target.
At this time, everyone's original expectations had faded, and they became extremely nervous. They just wanted to see the results as soon as possible.
Lin Qi didn’t care about the sense of ceremony and directly grabbed a fruit.
The moment he was pulled down, a shrill scream suddenly sounded, like a demonic sound penetrating the ears, deafening.
I eat lemon.
Lin Qi almost threw the fruit in his hand. The other three ladies were not mentally prepared at all and took a few steps back in shock. However, joy appeared on their faces.
This is a normal reaction to picking viable fruits.
First there was a scream, like a baby crying at birth.
It’s just that the cry of this thing is a little scary and weird, but it’s nothing.
Everyone had been mentally prepared before, but it was still a stillbirth. When everyone gave up hope, there was a sudden cry.
Why do you deserve a beating more than me? You must have done it on purpose.
Lin Qi held the Human Face Fruit and looked at it in confusion.
Sure enough, the eyes and mouth were opened, and the fruit was lifelike, almost the same except for its size.
But the more this happened, the more creepy Lin Qi felt, and he felt that this thing became more and more terrifying.
“You are so weird.”
Lin Qi said to the fruit and reached out to poke the fruit’s face. However, the moment he touched the skin of the fruit, the fruit’s The mouth suddenly opened, and like those infected lunatics, it bit down on his fingers.
