After coming out of the palace, Luo Xingyi's face was calm, his heart was beating calmly, and he was full of anger.

There is a saying that a friend will not stick a knife in your ribs, a friend will only stick a knife in your ribs.

Luo Xingyi didn't believe this at all before. Firstly, he had never experienced betrayal; secondly, he was naive and stupid. At that time, he always believed that the future was long and they could be friends for life.

But since he entered Taoyuan, he found that this is not the case.Even he himself didn't completely trust Ji Shuyao.

Now that I have opened up and talked about this, I don't even need to maintain the superficial peace.

It is true that Luo Xingyi is not a person who likes to calculate gains and losses, but at this moment, the first thing he thinks of is not how regretful it is to break up this friendship with Ji Shuyao, but after losing the privilege of Queen Taoyuan, Things get a lot trickier.

What's more, if you want to continue to investigate this matter, you will definitely be obstructed by Ji Shuyao and confront them.

This is inevitable.

The day went on and on, and it was getting late.The population of the holy city is not large, and because they fought and demolished last night, the streets are now urgently cleaned up and repaired, and traffic is prohibited, and few people go to the streets.

The sunset is gentle, the streets are empty, covered with golden afterglow, very peaceful.

After walking most of the way, Luo Xingyi's anger gradually calmed down.After the emotional blindness faded away, he couldn't help re-examining the conversation with Ji Shuyao just now in his mind.

The street trees on the street were blown up and down by them last night, and the broken leaves and branches were buried on the ground, turning the city streets into barren mountains and dense forests.Luo Xingyi glanced at the tree in the middle of the road, and was about to step on it when he suddenly stopped.

Wait a minute, what did he just say?

"If nothing happens, Dr. Hao will destroy the tree?"

By the way, this is the weirdest part.

Why did Dr. Hao cut down trees?Isn't it some other flower or grass, but the Grace Tree?

You know, Taoyuan has had an almost morbid worship of the flowers on this tree since the village outside.After coming in, this kind of phenomenon has only increased. What reason does he have to destroy this thing of people's belief?

Luo Xingyi stopped to think about it, and felt that this question was very important, so he just kept on doing nothing, and took advantage of no one to find a lonely Grace Tree, and broke off a flowering branch.

He activated his supernatural power at once, and the whole process took less than a second, and he broke and left without entanglement.It's not that he's afraid of being punished by the law. After all, there are really not many people in Taoyuan who can beat him, but he doesn't want to scare the snake for the time being.

Luo Xingyi only took off a small branch, the section was not big, but the green juice kept gushing out along the fracture, as if a water pipe had broken.

The Grace Tree in Taoyuan looks like any other tree from a distance, but when you hold it in your hand, you will find that it has a lot of sap.

After the juice dripped, the little pink flower at the top fell off the branch and fell to the ground in a short while.Luo Xingyi bent down to pick it up, but when he touched the flower, he felt something was wrong.

He stopped picking up flowers, rubbed the "pollen" on his fingertips, thoughtfully.

Because Taoyuan has a rule not to touch the sacred tree, and believers are not allowed to approach it casually when worshiping, and this tree of grace has never lost its petals when the wind blows, so everyone thinks that this flower should be a "flower"... Taking Taoyuan Taking the silk flower forest in the village as an example, the flowers are made very delicately and beautifully.

A landscape of its own.

However, Luo Xingyi found this "flower" to be very interesting after breaking the branches and picking the flowers, which knew the law and violated the law: it looks so beautiful and harmless, the petals are flexible, and there is a thin layer of scale powder.The flower heart is a hard carapace, the horizontal lines are vivid, smooth and cold.

——Obviously, it’s an insect!

Realizing this, Luo Xingyi's fingers and face froze.Slowly sank, completely dignified.

He picked up the pink-purple "flower" on the ground, took a photo and sent it to Ye Yingxun, put it in his pocket, and slowly turned his head to look at the sacred tree of grace that he had already left hundreds of meters behind.

At the end of the long street, the grace tree stands quietly, its leaves and branches are like canopies, and it is full of soft pink flowers.Under the glow of the warm sunset, against the backdrop of the white walls and bamboo buildings, the tranquil beauty is like a picture scroll.

If so, are they all worms?

Luo Xingyi's heart sank violently, his throat slipped, and he held his breath.He quickly looked around, and the needle-like coldness was like a flood breaking through the glass wall, and it overturned densely at once.

Although there is nothing around, the map in his mind has been fully unfolded. In the picture, hundreds of sacred trees of grace are dense and strong, and the flowers are competing to bloom... What if they are all worms?

At this moment, Luo Xingyi's back was drenched in cold sweat, and he was a little hard to move. It wasn't because he was scared by the insects, but because he was afraid of himself without realizing it!

If the unsolved death case of Dr. Hao hadn't sounded the alarm today, when would he have discovered the problem of flowers?Realize something is wrong with all this?

Taoyuan is really a gentle dreamland, because the environment is too comfortable and safe, and the friend is in charge and manages at ease... No, it is probably not a friend now, but he is really immersed in it, thinking that it is a peaceful and prosperous age.

So let up.

Luo Xingyi let out a sigh of relief, laughed at himself, and immediately asked Wang Shu to contact Qu Lin, and rushed over after learning his location.

This afternoon, the two of them were going to the laboratory together to find someone, but when they received news of Dr. Hao's death on the way, they split into two groups. Luo Xingyi went to investigate the cause of Dr. Hao's death, and Qu Lin stayed to continue looking for the same person. The whereabouts of the missing Ouyang Ying.

Luo Xingyi, a collapse expert over there, had already broken up with Ji Shuyao, and the information about Dr. Hao's death was cut off, while Qu Lin was still in the laboratory and did not leave.

However, he was not in the laboratory, but on the roof of a building not far away, standing behind a decorative plaster pillar that could be used as a cover, quietly watching the religious court lead people to seal up the laboratory.

A group of people came in and out, busy, and emptied all the instruments and objects inside.

During the alternation of day and night, the soft golden wind at dusk swept across the sky, blowing into the open roof with floor-to-ceiling glass windows, blowing the ends of Qu Lin's hair into disorder.Then, he turned his eyes and turned his body accordingly, and looked at Luo Xingyi who was walking towards him from head to toe.

Strict eyes fell on every place, as if checking whether there were any bumps on his treasures, and confirmed that Luo Xingyi had returned with all his beards and tails.

"I'm fine, I didn't do anything." Luo Xingyi was a little uncomfortable being looked at by Qu Lin's overly cautious eyes. He hurriedly walked up to him, took out the thing that looked like a bug but not a flower, and said, "This is the real thing." flower of grace."

Qu Lin didn't go to see the flowers, his eyes still fell on Luo Xingyi.

Luo Xingyi had asked Wang Shu to tell him all the things that happened before, but it was one thing to hear about it, and another thing to see it with his own eyes.

Looking at Luo Xingyi's expression of looking down at the insect, Qu Lin tried his best to control his urge to hold him in his arms and protect him, and cut off some conspiracy insect, wishing to take him away from Taoyuan now, away from these monsters... But he also knew that Luo Xingyi was unwilling.

They want to leave, that's fine, but Luo Xingyi will never be reconciled if there is no result.So is he.

So he just took away the strange dead insect in Luo Xingyi's hand, put it aside, suppressed his personal emotions, and said the most important thing at the moment: "Let's summarize the information. Ouyang Ying is not here."

"Are you late?" Luo Xingyi turned his head to look in the direction of the laboratory below, saw many people coming in and out in an orderly manner, and almost understood the situation, "Took away?"

Qu Lin shook his head. Although there was no evidence, when he went to the laboratory to investigate, he found some inconspicuous traces of safe retreat. Ouyang Ying had hinted about the problem long before entering Taoyuan, and it seemed that he was completely unaware of it. People, they intuitively said: "Probably not, they are hiding."

"Then they are here?" Luo Xingyi was referring to the religious court's seizure of the laboratory.

Qu Lindao: "Destroy it. Dr. Hao completed the autopsy here, and also discovered the secret here, and of course there are many things left, such as this—"

Qu Lin took out a piece of paper covered with stains and shoe prints. It looked messy, but these were not enough to cover up the content on it. This was a component analysis and comparison report.

Luo Xingyi took it over and took a look. The front was described in too professional biological terms, and there were some dyslexia, but the latter was very clear.The contrast is the secretions left in the corpse of the young boy and the sap of the sacred tree.

The result is a compositional similarity of 76.57%, which must be from the same pedigree, or even very, very close relatives.Perhaps it is the difference between flowers and flower branches.

...So, the secret that may have killed the young man and the lady, and was suppressed by the hospital and the police station, was not due to some kind of human experiment, nor was it due to the cruel killing of a certain person, but because of the grace of the flower bug. into the human body?

There was only one page of paper, and the final result was not much in content, but Luo Xingyi read it three times, and then gradually recovered from the cold sweat and surprise, feeling as if he was living in a fantasy novel.

It's hard to believe that all the strange things are caused by insects.

However, Luo Xingyi didn't quite understand, "If Taoyuan is built on the basis of worshiping worms as gods, why put worms into human bodies and let them kill people, and then everyone bury this matter together, as a Nothing happened? Or..." He paused and said four words, "Is this a sacrifice?"

This is exactly what Qu Lin hasn't figured out yet. Insects enter the body → kill → cover up. It seems that there is a certain connection, but there is no reasonable explanation to support why the people in Taoyuan must do this. Killing is understandable. In order to kill the mouth, but what purpose do you want to achieve by releasing the insects?

Sometimes they are afraid of exposing their secrets, and sometimes they are lax and negligent, and they don't take many things to heart, which seems very contradictory.Inversion from the current results alone, there are many logically unreasonable places, incomplete, it should be that at least one link of very important information is missing in the middle.

Qu Lin thought about it, and recalled from the beginning: "In the beginning, the phenomenon of Taoyuan Village was that there was no real grace tree and no rules for entering the house."

"I've always been very curious. Taoyuan's entrance rules really all depend on 'fate'?" Luo Xingyi asked him: "Do you still remember the news you heard the night of the accident? The number of people."

Qu Lin nodded, agreeing with the important point he raised, "The death of that woman may be related to this. But what is the specific connection is still a doubt. Then the matter of 'cultivating a greenhouse', the observation period."

Luo Xingyi said: "I think this is understandable, allergy test?"

Qu Lin said, "No, what I want to say is that your strange biting symptoms suddenly disappeared."

"Does this also count?"

"Calculated."

"Okay." Luo Xingyi nodded, took his words and went on logically, "Then we met Ji Shuyao's family... I settled the matter here, and then...we watched a show? I forgot to mention it, originally I said I had time to check the details. Then there was the matter at the 'black hole' and the grand festivals. It seems that there is nothing missing here, right? And then, this happened."

"All the performers are dead." Qu Lin said suddenly.

Luo Xingyi suddenly felt that he didn't bring up his breath, and it was choked in his throat. He wanted to get angry and say what the hell was going on.But the person facing him was Qu Lin, and he didn't want to bring any emotions to the other party, so he could only swallow the anger in his heart, "Okay, there is another doubt."

And then there is the most important thing, the young man died suddenly, Dr. Hao discovered the secret of raising worms in the human body and then was silenced, Ji Shuyao stubbornly kept his mouth shut...

The two looked back and analyzed many possibilities, but they still couldn't find the correct answer that explained everything with reason and evidence.The information they have is not enough, and they cannot rely on imagination to fill in the gaps, so they have to accept many doubts and temporarily run aground here.

In addition, there is another point that Luo Xingyi didn't notice when he was emotional at the time. Now that Wang Wangshu retells the conversation and is directly pointed out by Qu Lin, he has to admit it if he doesn't want to: what Ji Shuyao said today is Ben Then parted ways with him.

In fact, now that I think about it now, Ji Shuyao didn't need to be so aggressive in saying many things. Another way of saying it wouldn't be like this, but she insisted on doing this, which made things worse.Could it be that a person like her who has been eating for more than 20 years can't speak?It's not intentional that it can't be justified at all.

But once you think about it, the more indifferent and cruel subtext behind it is: "I know we can't get along well anymore, so I have to break the relationship quickly, so as not to drag you down."

It's really like her style... Luo Xingyi wiped his face, feeling a little frustrated, he couldn't help but said, "Qu Lin, am I really stupid to make things into such a passive situation."

"No," Qu Lin said objectively and impartially, "It's because you still miss the old love, and they don't read it anymore."

But after taking sides, he still looked at Luo Xingyi seriously.Bi in his eyes was also darkened by the dying twilight, "Luo Xingyi, it's time to be vigilant."

"I know." Luo Xingyi exhaled, looking at the silent holy city under the sky, feeling a little hard to describe.

It would be a lie to say that he was not lost at all.The setting sun had almost completely set, and the corner of the eye was all under the horizon. He and his teammates had finally come to this point.

Then, the sunset completely set, the last ray of light disappeared, and the wind was wild.

Enough talking about business, Qu Lin's heart is not made of stone, he saw the disappointed expression on Luo Xingyi's face, softened his attitude, and asked softly: "Are you sad?"

If there is a mirror in front of him, he should be able to see that his current appearance is called "gentleness".Luo Xingyi turned to look at him, nodded, "A little bit."

I can't say how uncomfortable it is, but it's always a bit regrettable.Beautiful things always seem to be unable to exist for a long time. Meteors and fireworks are gone in a flash.

Qu Lin reached out and hugged him into his arms, couldn't help sniffing the fresh scent of shampoo on his body, then kissed his ear, and told him with a tight hug that he was always there, "Little Xingxing, I I will always be with you, I promise."

Luo Xingyi turned around in Qu Lin's arms, hugged him back and kissed his side neck, and put his head on Qu Lin's shoulder and leaned against him for a while.He thought, no guarantee, I believe you.

The night was coming, and the two discussed whether to choose to act first or hide themselves and wait for the changes. When they left the rooftop, they both thought of one thing——

The Grace Tree was planted there without anyone guarding it. If someone went to pick the flowers, they would definitely find out that the flowers were insects, just like Luo Xingyi.But it was so easily obtained, so easily discovered, as if it wasn't a big deal.This is where Taoyuan is very contradictory and negligent.

But this is precisely a question: What is it that makes the people in Taoyuan so confident that it doesn't matter even if the secret is discovered?

Furthermore, Ji Shuyao had never guarded against them here, as if she knew that even if they found out, they would not have trouble making trouble in Taoyuan or just break the door and leave.

Or, she was sure they couldn't leave.
