Quick wear: Boss, he always likes her

When Tingqiao arrived, he found that the road to the village had been blocked. However, as long as he showed his identity as an evolver, he could enter smoothly.

And the car is ready.

"Hello, my name is Fang Yin, a Class B Evolver," the man in the driver's seat greeted Ting Qiao, "I've also accepted this mission."

It's a bit strange that a B-level evolver would come to do such a simple exploration mission.

Tingqiao glanced at him and nodded slightly, "Luo Tingqiao, C-level."

Fang Yin: "Very good, hurry up and get in the car, I'll drive. If something really happens in that village, we don't have to worry about other people's safety."

"Okay." Tingqiao opened the car door and got in.

Fang Yin drove very steadily, and even distracted himself to communicate with her on the way: "Let me tell you in advance to avoid any conflict later. I can communicate with some animals and drive them."

Tingqiao opened the car window to let in the fresh air, "I can manipulate plants within a certain range."

Fang Yin: "It sounds like our abilities are quite similar, maybe we can even cooperate later."

He was a talkative person and said a lot along the way. Tingqiao would occasionally respond with a few words, and he would continue to talk.

"So I think that evolvers should also have a retirement period, so that I can have something to look forward to..." Although what he is doing now pays well, it is also very dangerous... Fang Yin feels that he is more realistic, so he should leave the burden of saving the world to others and just be a fish.

"Wow, it seems we have arrived." Fang Yin stopped the car.

The map shows that the village entrance is just a short walk away.

Tingqiao got off the car and the village could be seen from this place.

Including that very conspicuous big tree.

"That tree is so big!" Fang Yin looked at it through the small telescope hanging around his neck.

Tingqiao: “Come closer and take a look.”

The two walked to the entrance of the village and stopped in front of the big tree.

"..." Fang Yin was a little shocked and forgot to speak for a moment.

The tree at the entrance of the village was incredibly large. When I looked up, the treetops seemed to block out the sky. Tingqiao also noticed that the buildings in the village seemed to be shrouded in the shadow of the tree, like an abyss that could swallow people at any time.

Fang Yin finally came to his senses, his mouth opening and closing, "This tree must be so nutritious, it has grown so big."

Tingqiao retracted his gaze, "...Yes, it is very nutritious."

Fang Yin held his chin and tried to recall in his mind, "I don't think I've seen this kind of tree before... Do you know it?"

Tingqiao shook his head.

Fang Yin: "Forget it, it's not an important matter anyway, let's go to the village and look for someone first."

The nearby security center had actually received several calls for help from Puping Village, but there was no news from the team that had come in earlier.

The purpose of their coming in now is to find the person who called and to find traces of the previous team.

Of course, you should focus on protecting yourself and keep in touch with the security center at all times.

Logically speaking, most of the young people in the village have moved to the city in recent years, and the rest are all elderly people... After that, the population of the village naturally gradually decreased.

Surprisingly, there are quite a lot of people in this village. The road leading into the village is a bit crowded, with vendors setting up stalls on both sides.

It was bustling with noises from hawking and people shouting loudly to maintain order.

Fang Yin wondered: "Why are there so many people here?"

Tingqiao walked calmly among the crowd, "Anyway, this is not an illusion."

Seeing that she was passing easily, Fang Yin followed her, "The road has been blocked for seven days, which means these people got here before that."

But the mission information did not explain.

The two came to a relatively open place.

Fang Yin turned on his phone to reconfirm the mission and checked the signal on his phone. "…This mission will be very troublesome. A team has already been involved. We have to be cautious."

There are no evolvers or teams that can complete this task nearby now. Some have just received psychological treatment and are still in the observation period.

The fastest it will take is three days.

Tingqiao wasn't too worried. "Let's ask someone first."

Fang Yin nodded, "Okay, let's go to the uncle selling eggs over there."

He was good at making conversation and in no time he became familiar with the uncle selling eggs.

But I didn't get any useful information.

When asked about the strangers who came to the village a few days ago and the abnormalities in the village, the uncle looked completely clueless.

After Fang Yin paid for the eggs, the uncle said, "Why don't you go ask our village chief? If there are new people in the village, they will go to see him."

The uncle led the way enthusiastically.

Of course, the reason might be the big bag of eggs that Fang Yin was carrying.

"There are a lot of strangers in our village, but if you ask me who came a few days ago, I can't remember... You should ask Lao Li, the village chief, he knows everything."

The old man never stopped talking, and kept bragging to Fang Yin, "We are more lively here than in some cities. We don't even have enough eggs to sell... Look at our scenery, it's quiet and beautiful, and otherworldly! People in the city love to come here, and many have decided to settle down here..."

Fang Yin agreed from time to time, "Yes, I think so too."

He looked far away, taking in the scenery in the distance, and said in a low voice, as if he was muttering to himself, "This place is indeed a good place to live. I can hide here for a while when I'm tired from work..."

Tingqiao looked at him in surprise and asked, "Do you want to settle down here?"

Fang Yin came back to his senses and shook his head, "Ah? Me? I do... have an idea."

Tingqiao stood nearby, looking thoughtful.

We were almost there by now.

The village chief was watching TV at home. When he saw them coming, he stood up and greeted them. The egg seller said a few words and left.

The village chief smiled and said to them, "Are you two here to apply to settle here? But there are too many people here, so you may have to wait for a while... Of course, you can still stay in the village during this time. There are homestays in the village, and we can arrange it for you now."

Very skilled!

The village chief glanced at the eggs in Fang Yin's hand and said, "Oh, there's no need to send the eggs specially. I..."

"No, wait a minute," Fang Yin interrupted quickly, "We are here to look for someone. Were there any young people who are similar to us who came here a few days ago?"

Tingqiao looked at him again.

She could sense that something was wrong with him.

Were you affected so quickly?

The village chief's expression immediately changed. "Are you talking about those young people who received the call for help?"

Fang Yin felt that there was hope. "Yes, where are they now?"

The village chief began to sweat. "I don't know where they are... I just took them to see the locked-up monster, and then they disappeared."

Gone? Fang Yin frowned, "Who made those calls for help?"

The village chief shook his head and said, "I don't know... The villagers are worried that if the news about the monster gets out, there will be fewer tourists, so they want to get rid of the monster privately."

Fang Yin really didn't expect these people to be so bold. How could ordinary people dare to deal with the mutation? If they were not careful, they might be infected on the spot...

Tingqiao looked at the village chief and said firmly: "You have already started."

The village chief's face turned pale. "Yes... Ever since that monster came to our village, abnormalities have occurred continuously in the village, and many people have fallen ill. We really have no choice but to lock it up."

Fang Yin asked anxiously: "Just lock him up?"

The village chief moved his mouth. Perhaps what he was about to say was too weird. He kept swallowing his saliva. "That day, Lao He took the axe and went in... but everything started all over again. It was as if time went back to that morning. It was as if nothing had happened. The monster was still locked in that place, and nothing happened."

"It's like that every time. We really have no choice but to lock the monster up..."

"The young men who came a few days ago, after hearing what I said about that incident, insisted that I take them over to see it... I said it was a monster!"

"Their disappearance has nothing to do with me!"

The village chief is old, and one can tell that he is having difficulty breathing.

Fang Yin reacted and tried to comfort him: "Don't worry, it sounds like this matter has nothing to do with you... But you have to take us to see the locked up 'monster'."

The village chief slapped his thigh and said, "Oh, why don't you believe it? That monster is very dangerous!"

Fang Yin wanted to persuade him again, but Ting Qiao had already taken out his equipment and checked the bullets. "If you don't lead the way, we will be in more danger than that 'monster'."

"..." The village chief wiped his sweat and said, "Okay, follow me this way."

Fang Yin looked at Ting Qiao with disapproval, "Our mission only requires us to investigate the information. We can't deal with that monster just by ourselves."

Tingqiao replied: "You don't have to follow me. I don't think I can get any information from other places. And there are some things that I can't be sure of until I see that 'monster'."

She retreated slightly and reminded in a low voice: "There is something wrong with your current state."

"?" Fang Yin quickly looked down at his watch.

She must have been fooling him, the numbers above haven't changed significantly.
