Hu Jiu is awake.

Everything is a natural outcome.

The good news is that he barely managed to control the tree.

The bad news is that he lost his human form.

There is a human face on the trunk of the towering ancient bronze tree, and the branches and roots are trying to transform into hands and feet, but unfortunately they failed.

Imperfect control, Hu Jiu cannot completely control the spiritual power of the bronze tree.

After leaving the spiritual space, he appeared in the haunted house, shook his horrible and deformed body, and tried to keep his mind calm instead of thinking wildly.

Although he has become a non-human, he is also too powerful. If he doesn't want to be a human, then don't be a human. He can vaguely feel that there is a small piece of bronze tree in the distance, probably the part of the ancient tree spirit brought back by the headquarters. When he found that he could remotely interfere with the small piece of fragment, Hu Jiu decisively bewitched a person and asked him to find a way to take the fragment out of the headquarters to stir up trouble.

Xiaoyu and Yin Wenxian were both tracked and sniped to varying degrees. Hu Jiu helped them, but his control over the supernatural was not stable now, and he was too strong if he was not careful.

In fact, as long as Xiaoyu and Yin Wenxian were smart, there was a high probability that nothing would happen. Hu Jiu never asked them to remain loyal. Temporary surrender to the enemy was nothing, and he didn't mind at all.

If the subordinates were loyal, it would be great. If the subordinates betrayed, Hu Jiu could immediately design a new conspiracy.

The supernatural power of the bronze tree showed signs of being out of control. Hu Jiu tried to control the branches from growing randomly and let the roots spread wildly downward. After all, the changes in the underground would not attract attention for a while, so let the roots grow randomly.

The underground was pierced by the roots of the bronze tree, and the supernatural power continued to devour the soil and fill the roots. The roots continued to grow like this, drilling into the deep stratum in one breath, and the underground structure centered on the haunted house was rapidly changed.

However, this trend was soon controlled, and a hand grew on the trunk, which could write.

Lin Lipeng, one of the main persons in charge of a laboratory in the Research Department, disappeared and took away sample No. 1, causing the Research Department to fall into a brief chaos.

A researcher who possessed a lot of confidential information disappeared silently with important items. Such a major mistake was enough to hold many people in the headquarters accountable, which would lead to a bleak political future and even possible demotion to the grassroots level, where he would never be able to climb up again.

After discovering that Lin Lipeng was missing, the headquarters immediately launched an investigation, and soon the investigation team found the body of Lin Lipeng's assistant Xiao Yang.

Xiao Yang was brutally killed and dismembered, and the body parts were wrapped in plastic wrap and neatly displayed in the refrigerator. When the investigation team searched Lin Lipeng's apartment, they also found many strange and meaningless patterns painted on the bathroom mirror, as if a madman had graffitied randomly.

These patterns were taken into high-definition photos, and many analysts conducted a full-scale analysis, and finally concluded that this seemed to be something that a person who was half asleep and half awake drew unconsciously.

Other than that, the investigation team found nothing.

This disappearance is really bizarre, and it also involves a murder case, which is extremely bad.

The investigation team held a meeting.

"Lin Lipeng's resume and files are very clean, and there are no special problems. It is hard to imagine that such a high-quality researcher would do such a bad thing..."

"We investigated Lin Lipeng's psychological assessment test, but this report was from some time ago. The report shows that although Lin Lipeng has some psychological pressure, his mental state is still normal and healthy. Could this be a passion killing?"

"This hypothesis is basically unreasonable. First of all, Yang must have been killed by Lin Lipeng. The fingerprints and the evidence found now all point to him. The key to the problem is the motive for the murder. Yang is Lin Lipeng's assistant. The two have worked together for many years and have a very good relationship. There has been no grudge in recent times. We can't figure out why Lin killed Yang."

The transcripts, trace identification, autopsy and on-site photos of Lin Lipeng's disappearance and murder case are all placed on the table in the office, but so far, the progress of the investigation has not been ideal.

"Have you investigated Lin Lipeng's interpersonal relationships?"

"Yes, as a regular employee of the Research Department, he has participated in several supernatural research projects. The headquarters has always strictly reviewed and monitored these researchers involved in confidential research..."

Lin Lipeng is a researcher in the Research Department, and his interpersonal relationships are strictly controlled, mainly to prevent accidental leaks.

"The headquarters has backup data for Lin Lipeng's emails, chat records, and other communication methods. There was nothing unusual before he disappeared."

"Lin Lipeng took the branch without making a sound after killing someone and slipped away openly. What was his purpose?"

"Could it be...foreign forces?"

"There is such a possibility! Lin Lipeng may have infiltrated the headquarters of foreign forces, or he may have been subverted during work, or his mind may have been distorted by supernatural forces."

"Whatever the reason, Lin Lipeng has committed a serious crime. We will continue to strengthen the search. I believe that Lin Lipeng will take the branch out and then take other actions."

Lin Lipeng did take some actions. Not long after he absconded, he lost weight and aged several years, but his spirit became more and more excited.

In order to avoid the headquarters' pursuit, he wore a shabby coat, made simple makeup on his face, did not touch any electronic products, and specifically chose remote places without surveillance.

At this time, he was carrying a bag, walking slowly through the dark alleys, and walked to an old house in a zigzag manner. He took out the key with extreme caution and opened the door.

The next moment, a knife was placed across his neck.

"Be honest and don't move, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"

This was a home invasion robbery. Two young men who looked very ruthless were eyeing Lin Lipeng. In this nearby area, which can be called a "slum", the intrusion of an unfamiliar face was very conspicuous. Lin Lipeng had a certain background in scientific research work. Set, but not so good in other aspects.

The old house he used as a temporary residence originally belonged to a local couple, but they are now missing.

Young gangsters Zhao San and Liu Shui keenly discovered that the new resident Lin Lipeng was unexpectedly rich. They didn't know why Lin Lipeng suddenly moved into this old house. They just saw that the old man was very happy to pay and never bargained. , and all were large cash payments.

"Outsiders of unknown origin", "holding a large amount of cash", "living in a remote place without surveillance", the above points together are enough to make some people have evil thoughts.

So Zhao San and Liu Shui couldn't help but break into the house and rob. In fact, even if they weren't there, there would be others in the future. Lin Lipeng looked like a fat sheep.

The two men held Lin Lipeng hostage and walked into the house.

What's strange is that Lin Lipeng was unexpectedly calm. He didn't panic at all when he was robbed. He was surprisingly calm. His calmness and self-control also made Zhao San and Liu Shui very unhappy.

"Hand over all your money!" they threatened viciously.

Lin Lipeng nodded: "The money is in the room over there. If you want it, go find it."

He pointed to a room on the left side of the living room. Perhaps his attitude was too calm. The two robbers were very suspicious. They were not fools. The strange old man in front of him was full of weird words and deeds.

Lin Lipeng was threatened with a knife, and Zhao San took the rope and tied him up.

"Go and take a look!" Zhao San asked Liu Shui to go to that room to find money. Liu Shui didn't object and walked towards the room.

They dared to rob, so they were brave enough. Besides, he was just an old man, so even if he was a bit strange, they were not afraid.

But the moment Liu Shui opened the door, a stench wafted out, mixed with the strange smell of rotten meat, which made Liu Shui shed physiological tears. I saw several large bulging black plastic bags piled in the corner, and the ground was soaked in black and red blood.

There was an open backpack in the room, which indeed contained a lot of cash. But Liu Shui didn't even look at it, and was driven back by the stench.

In fact, when they first entered the house, they smelled something bad in the house. They thought it was because men living alone were not hygienic. Now it seems...

"Fuck, it stinks!" Liu Shui has not yet realized the seriousness of the problem. After all, he is just a gangster, and he is not familiar with the smell of human corpses.

The stench rushed straight into their noses, and Zhao San and Liu Shui suddenly felt like their lungs were exploding. They were so suffocating!

Bang--

Liu Shui closed the door tightly, his face turned red from holding back, and he took a long breath before letting out a long breath.

"What the hell is in that room?" Liu Shui sat down on the chair, and Zhao San's face became unsightly. In fact, he had a vague guess, but he didn't believe it until the last moment.

"Those bags are you talking about? They were the original residents here. They wanted to defraud me of my money, so I got rid of them all." Lin Lipeng said expressionlessly.

The word "dispose" already makes it clear that the smelly thing in that room is a corpse.

Zhao San and Liu Shui looked livid, and they were fighting. They dared to rob homes, but they did not dare to kill people and set fires. They had an instinctive fear of corpses.

At this time, Lin Lipeng tilted his head, and his voice was cold: "Since you have discovered it, you can stay here forever."

With a force of his hands, he broke free from the ropes tied to his body, stood up, and raised the corners of his mouth in an exaggerated arc, looking crazy.

Zhao San and Liu Shui were so frightened that they stepped back involuntarily and ran away.

Lin Lipeng pressed forward step by step, "Good boy, don't be afraid...it won't hurt too much..."

The two low screams did not spread out of the room. The sound of creaking and shredding limbs lasted for a while, and finally calmed down.

After dealing with the little trouble, Lin Lipeng simply ate to fill his stomach, then quickly packed his luggage and put on his disguise again.

We can no longer stay in this temporary residence.

Along the way, he has killed many people, from his assistant Xiao Yang to passers-by who accidentally bumped into the secret. Even if he wakes up now, he can only go to darkness in one way.

Lin Lipeng disappeared into the night. His task was not only to take the bronze branch out of the headquarters, but also to frame the blame...

Hu Jiu gradually returned to human form.

The appearance of the ghost book has also undergone a huge change. Strange textures are intertwined and intertwined, condensing into the appearance of a tree. The strange-shaped branches are twisted and intertwined. In the center of the trunk is a Hu Jiu face, with an eyeball embedded in the forehead.

Imagination can distort reality. For a few minutes, Hu Jiu's mentality was so expanded that he thought he could do anything. But he calmed down quickly. The ability to "make all your wishes come true" is indeed tricky and domineering, but the side effects are also extremely obvious.

It is difficult for him to control his thoughts or subconsciousness. As long as he thinks, everything around him will be affected by him, even his own appearance will change, and the probability of becoming ugly is far greater than the probability of becoming good-looking.

Previously, the combination of the ghost book and the ghost pen could cut off their own supernatural powers and give them to others or external objects. Now, Hu Jiu can really create some new and simple "evil ghosts". Although there are many defects and lack of some subjective initiative, it is better to say that it is creating unstable supernatural objects rather than creating evil ghosts, but such progress is strong enough.

In order to prevent his own wild thoughts from causing abnormal phenomena around him, Hu Jiu can only set a seal for the time being. There is a small black dot in the center of his chin, which is not clear at social distance. It is like a light switch. He will unlock this seal when he uses it. When he can perfectly control his thoughts in the future, he will not need this switch.

Unconsciously, Hu Jiu's strength has grown to a very strong level. From this moment on, he, Hu Jiu, can also let himself go. The sea is wide for fish to leap, the sky is high for birds to fly. Many things that he once dared not think of, he can now try.

The original wish of rebirth, "immortality", seems to have been achieved. As long as he is not killed by a strong enemy and his own supernatural power does not go out of control, he can live for a long time, very long.

Perhaps the supernatural power has changed his thinking, making him unrecognizable, lacking humanity, and without emotions, no longer the person he used to be.

But what does it matter?

Even if there is no supernatural power, human thoughts will be changed by external factors such as time and environment. The supernatural power just speeds up this process.

Being able to live forever and have powerful power, losing emotions and humanity is simply a trivial price!

After imagining a beautiful future for a while, Hu Jiu sighed again. Some things should be dealt with. His biggest secret-rebirth!

What is rebirth all about? Is his consciousness back to the past? Or is time going backwards? The universe restarts?

When he was weak, he didn't have to think about why he was reborn. He could use the information gap to become stronger step by step. Now he has to think about it. Is there someone who can control time?

What if someone else is reborn and destroys the past, and eats him as fat meat?

What if time goes back again, won't all his efforts be in vain?
