Chapter 85: complete

On the one hand, he was suddenly enlightened, and on the other hand, he was stunned.

After staring at each other silently for a long time, Qian Ai sighed, as if spitting out a melancholy smoke ring that did not exist.

"We, maybe, need an explanation." He raised the white flag of love on behalf of the other two partners.

Xu Wang put away the letter, and there is no need to analyze the emotional difference between these three poems. It is faster to directly answer the ox playing the qin: "This is the love of trees and flowers, and the love of plants."

Wu Sheng: "..."

Chi Yingxue: "…"

Qian Ai was very tired, physically and mentally exhausted: "Can you pretend that I didn't ask for this explanation..."

"It's the tree that really acts as a stand-in," Kuang Jinxin explained with a little distressed friend, "it uses its own branches to protect epiphytes, so every time after the fire of hell, it's the branches that are scorched."

"This is in line with the last sentence of Epiphytic Flower - never really burned by the fire of hell." Wu Sheng finally buckled the first link of the logic chain.

Xu Wang glanced at him with relief.

"The tree is the real stand-in, and it has reason and evidence. I agree with this." Wu Junshi is not a beginner. Once he enters, he can find out the doubts from point to point. "But how can you be sure that it loves epiphytic flowers? , instead of Cornina?"

"This..." Kuang Jinxin was stopped by the question, looking at Xu Wang with a bit of embarrassment.

He just thought that the captain was absolutely right, and now he feels that the military division is right.

If the tree loves Konina and is willing to be a stand-in, it doesn't seem to be a problem

Xu Wang bypassed the confused classmate Kuang and asked Wu Sheng directly, "What happened to the tree when we were picking flowers?"

Of course, this Wu Sheng remembered: "Throwing the branches and attacking us inhumanely, of course, mainly beat you."

"... That's because I stood on your shoulders and went deeper into the enemy's camp!" Xu Wang decisively ended his memories and got down to business, "If the tree loves Konina, why does it stop us from picking flowers?"

"It will be eager for us to take the flowers away. At that time, it will protect Konina together with the epiphyte, and double insurance." Wu Sheng interfaced, and finally put all the links together, "In the end, the epiphyte fell by itself, and the tree can stop it. We can't stop the flowers."

Wu Junshi does not understand love, but as long as someone gives him a grass, he can deduce the entire grassland.

"Understood," Qian Ai clapped her hands and concluded, "Konina and Amy like York, and York scumbags don't have to think about it. Epiphyte saved the execution of Cornina, and indirectly caused Amy's tragic death. Amy The evil spirit wants to kill Cornina, and Epiphyte is willing to be a substitute, but the tree loves Epiphyte, so she uses herself as a substitute for Epiphyte."

Wu Sheng: "..."

Chi Yingxue: "…"

Kuang Jinxin: "Brother Qian..."

Xu Wang: "As expected of a man who has experienced 2/23, the first-class Shura field on the red-eye flight."

"I only have one question left now," Qian Ai didn't get carried away by the praise, and looked at Xiao Kuang suspiciously, "Captain has been attacked by branches, but you haven't. Why can you think of branches with him?"

"Obviously what was burning was flowers, but every time it was burned, it turned into branches. It's very strange," said Kuang Jinxin as a matter of course, "I've always been very concerned about it."

Qian Ai: "It could also be a cover-up for Epiphytes, right? No one has said how the stand-in works. Maybe it's just a cover-up to deceive evil spirits?"

Kuang Jinxin wrinkled his little face together, thinking seriously for a long time: "It seems that there is such a possibility..."

Qian Ai helped her forehead.

So you just don't think so much about it!

"However," Kuang Jinxin touched his heart, "the first time I saw a charred branch, it was sour and a little sad, and I don't know why."

Qian Ai: "… "

Wu Sheng patted his teammates on the shoulder comfortingly: "The sixth sense is a very luxurious thing. Like wealth, it cannot be forced."

Qian Ai: "...the second half of your sentence is more heartbreaking."

"Can I ask a question?" Chi Yingxue, who had been listening quietly, frowned, and without waiting for a few people to respond, she directly threw out her doubts, "Isn't it strange that a tree falls in love with its own flowers? Will you fall in love with your hands?"

Qian Ai, who had been beaten enough, looked at his cute fists, and looked at Chi Yingxue: "What kind of ghost metaphor are you..."

Xu Wang and Kuang Jinxin were very quiet and tacit, and they knew very well who should appear in this kind of popular science moment.

"The epiphytic flower is not a flower that blooms on a tree, it just happens to be attached to the tree. It brings more water to the tree, and the tree provides it with a habitat," Sergeant Wu knocked on the blackboard and focused on the new teammates, "They are Two plants, love freedom."

Chi Yingxue: "...Thank you."

Since joining this team, the indescribable subtle mood that has always existed is climbing up step by step.

"Captain, the love line is clear, but how does it count as a handover?" Kuang Jinxin just opened his brows and knotted them again.

"I'm not sure," Xu Wang glanced at the epiphytic flower on the ground, "but at least we have to send it back, right?"

Qian Ai didn't turn around: "Where to send it back?"

"On the tree." Xu Wang said, righteous and awe-inspiring, "This is the love between the tree and the flower. If we don't return the flower, we are forced to separate. Wouldn't that be Fahai?"

"..." The example is accurate, and the image is metaphorical. Qian Ai refuted it intentionally, but was powerless.

Returning the flowers to the trees will naturally re-enter oil painting.

The group returned to 1310 at the fastest speed, and then, there was no more.

This room, which was on fire at every turn, changed its previous hospitality, and it was as deserted as it had been unoccupied for a long time.

The oil paintings on the walls are still there, but the color is dull and unremarkable, and there is no more vividness and weirdness that are about to come out.

Qian Ai looked at his captain in embarrassment: "Drilling hard?"

Xu Wang swallowed his saliva, made up his mind, and already felt the pain of hitting the wall: "It's just a pass, you don't need to fight for your life..."

"Is the only way to return the flower to the tree is to wear it back to the oil painting?" Kuang Jinxin asked.

Xu Wang can only think of this at the moment, but obviously, the way is wrong.

"Not necessarily." Wu Sheng, who had been silent all the time, said.

The four companions watched him together.

He suddenly walked to the window, looked at the messy lawn below, and said, "Come and see."

The four of them didn't know why, so they immediately gathered and looked out the window.

Wu Sheng pointed to the remaining intact lawn that the excavator was approaching step by step, and asked, "Does it look familiar?"

The surviving lawn is about the size of a basketball court, and there is a big tree planted. The tree is lush and shady under the tree. Compared with the miserable state of potholes and fallen vegetation, it is a paradise.

The point is so obvious, if the four of them don't understand Wu Sheng's meaning, they can really shake their heads and listen to the sea.

but-

Qian Ai: "Are you a little far-fetched..."

Kuang Jinxin: "Brother Sheng, if you can't see a tree, just say it's the one in the oil painting."

Chi Yingxue remembered Wu Sheng's IQ superiority in the previous discussion, raised the corner of his mouth, and deliberately imitated the other party's tone: "evidence."

Wu Sheng: "One, before the castle was built here, the village was located; two, the design style of this tree and the entire front lawn was not integrated, and there was a suspicion that it was deliberately highlighted to attract attention; three, look at its branches carefully, Several places are obviously sparse, and there are signs of external force breaking; Fourth, I remember what it looks like."

From the moment it threw branches and attacked Xu Wang, Wu Sheng had deeply imprinted this Xiaoshu classmate in his mind, and he would recognize him even if he turned into ashes.

Qian Ai rolled his eyes: "You said that the fourth rule is over."

Kuang Jinxin was eager to try: "Then let's go down now?"

Xu Wang resisted the urge to make fancy praise, and patted his military advisor on the shoulder deeply: "Not bad."

"..." Chi Yingxue looked at the four people in front of him, unprecedented in the world, and a trace of coolness ran up her back.

This kind of blind trust without logic, is it a cult? Is it a cult

"Boom—"

When everyone is unprepared, a new explosion starts again!

What was blown up was the only piece of lawn left. Because the blasting point was a little closer, the shock wave directly shattered the glass in front of the five people!

The raised turf and soil flew all over the sky in the gunpowder smoke, and the five of them felt tight.

The key to your plot may be just the passerby on the quest line, the people who are digging the ground and blasting holes, don't care which tree has a relationship with you!

The little friends pushed open the window with all their hands and feet, and the smoke and dust came in their faces. They couldn't see anything at all. They could only vaguely hear battles and shouts... Battles

[Owl: Someone used ] on you~~]

The sound of being locked by the armor caught the doubtful friends off guard. Before they had time to think about it, a huge green pea sprout rose from the ground outside the window. In a flash, it grew to their window, and the broad leaves were flat and soothing. Come over, like an invitation.

At the same time, most of the gunpowder smoke cleared.

The only remaining lawn was also bombed into a pit, but strangely, only the tree was still there, together with a grass one meter square, like an island in the ocean.

Its branches swayed wildly in the sun, repelling the passers-by who tried to approach again and again.

Those five people had given up on the blasting stream, and sent four to fight it. The remaining one, driving an excavator, sneaked secretly against the edge of the pit, and was about to approach the tree from the side!

Chi Yingxue was the first to jump on the blade. When she looked back and saw that her teammates didn't move, she raised her eyebrows slightly: "Can't you go down?"

Only then did Xu Wang understand: "Your stationery?"

Of course, we have to go down, but will the new teammates move too fast!

Chi Yingxue smiled leisurely, skipped the obvious question, and went straight to the next link: "The excavator, leave it to me."

Simple six words, light tone, strong expectation, deep happiness.

As the last little friend stood firm on the leaf, the towering stem of the magic bean suddenly changed direction, and the branches and leaves grew wildly towards the battlefield!

In the blink of an eye, Xu Wang and the other four had been sent under the tree, even closer to the trunk of the tree than the four who encircled the tree!

And Chi Yingxue jumped on another leaf early, and now the soldiers split into two groups and arrived at the excavator at the same time!

As soon as he landed, Chi Yingxue jumped up, not caring whether the excavator's crawler would roll up to him, and jumped directly on the back of the excavator!

The four friends under the tree didn't even see his movements, when they heard a glass shattering "Crash-"

The other four people in the other team fell from the sky before they could make it clear, and they were even more confused by the noise behind them. They instinctively turned around, and the little friend who was driving the excavator was already controlled by the person who got in through the broken window. Living.

Chi Yingxue strangled the opponent's neck with one arm, without using any weapon, without intimidating or threatening, she said lightly: "Stop."

From the bottom of the tree, Chi Yingxue's expression was so gentle as if he was playing with each other.

But the excavator did indeed stop at the moment he broke through the window.

"What are you doing—" The four people under the tree were anxious. From their point of view, their partner didn't even struggle at all, and then surrendered to the enemy. It was inexplicable!

Xu Wang and the others didn't really understand it, but they were delighted with the result.

Only the people in the excavator knew that he was almost out of breath. The ghostly attacker, with the least force, precisely pressed the most vital part of his neck, putting him in a terrifying state where he was gradually deprived of oxygen but would not die.

That "stop" sound, the softer it was, the more it made one's scalp tingle.

Because, the attacker's eyes are smiling.

It's not the kind of triumph over the enemy, it's simple, creepy, and happy.

The four people under the tree did not wait for the response from the excavator friends. They hated that iron is not steel, and they didn't care. They negotiated with Xu Wang directly face to face: "You guys have eaten enough to support, and it's interesting to have a foot in our quest line?!"

"It's not interesting, it's embarrassing, this is also our quest line." Xu Wang touched the tree trunk soothingly, as if telling it that we are here.

The four headed by them were violent at first sight, and they were furious at the moment: "We've been working hard all night, you guys come to pick up ready-made ones?!"

"Pick up ready-made products? Are you just digging these pits?" Xu Wang was almost tortured to death by curiosity, "What the hell are you doing?"

"Career line," grumpy gasped, "the lawn was planed and turned into a big lake."

Xu Wang: "Change the front yard of the hotel to a large lake?!"

Temper: "After the change, it will be called Swan Lake Castle Hotel!"

Xu Wang: "...what a magical career line!!!"

Grumpy: "You fucking ask me who the fuck am I asking!!!"

"call out-"

The sound of a sharp weapon cutting through the air interrupted the communication between the two teams.

However, the voice came from under the tree, but it was directed at the excavator!

Xu Wang only saw a flicker of cold light, and he didn't care to catch the sneak attacker, and shouted to Chi Yingxue: "Be careful—"

But how could his shouting be fast!

Before he finished speaking, the cold light had already pierced through the glass on the front of the cab with a thud, and poked straight into Chi Yingxue's arm to restrain the driver!

A long nail!

The spikes are even more hideous than what they encountered in the endless sea tower guards for the first time!

Almost 4/5 nailed into Chi Yingxue's arm!

Even so, Chi Yingxue didn't move.

The person who was restrained had the most say. The long nail was right under his eyes, and the nail slammed into the arm that restrained him, but the strength of the restraint was not even a shred.

Just out of instinct, he trembled, very slightly, so slight that it made one's heart chill.

The person being restrained suddenly didn't dare to look at the person holding him. He even instinctively wanted to dissuade his teammates from attacking blindly. This person was dangerous, more dangerous than everyone he had met before.

However, none of his first-hand information could be conveyed to the tree.

"Your teammates want to save you," Chi Yingxue whispered to his ear, word by word, "then go to death."

The strength on the neck gradually tightened.

The person being restrained struggled to grab two grips to strangle his arms, and finally even pushed the spikes deeply again!

But in the end, it was all in vain.

On the verge of death, the restrained finally heard the sound of nature—

[Owl: Baby~ I will have an early holiday and take you home.]

The eight people under the tree only saw the struggle of the person returning home, but they did not see the violence of the person who sent the person. There was no violent movement, no grim expression, and it was calm from beginning to end. After sending the person home, they put down their spiked arms. , and smiled through the broken glass.

The four of them were violent, and their hearts were horrified. You Qi sneaked up on the one with spikes, and the soles of his feet were emitting cold air.

At this moment of silence, a muffled sound suddenly came from the bottom of the big hole in front of the tree, and the entire front courtyard of the hotel was shaken!

Xu Wang and the four of them retreated subconsciously, leaned against the tree trunk, and found a little sense of security.

The four Tempered Four were thrown to the edge of the big pit by the branches in the fight just now. With this shock, they were directly unstable and rolled to the bottom of the pit!

The soil of the pit was soft, and it was nothing to fall into it, but before they could get up, the bottom of the pit suddenly fell at an extremely fast speed, and the four of them were drawn into a bottomless black hole in an instant!

This is not over yet, as if contagion, all the big pits began to collapse indefinitely, one by one, and finally the entire front yard of the hotel was connected into a bottomless huge pothole, the only two surviving, only Xu Wang The small piece of land where they and the big tree were, and the small piece of land under the 1310 window, where the magic beans took root!

The excavator fell in early and disappeared.

The dust is gone.

Chi Yingxue, who escaped at some point, stepped on the magic beans leaves, pulled out the spikes in his arms, and threw them into the pit.

His natural look and casual movements are like taking off a Band-Aid.

After removing the unsightly nails, Chi Yingxue rode the leaves and fell steadily under the tree.

Four little friends under the tree: "… "

In those few minutes, who were they, where were they, what did they go through...

Wu Sheng was the first to react. He took off his backpack, pulled out the medicine box, and handed it to his new teammate. He didn't ask for help.

At this level of combat, Military Sergeant Wu is convinced that he can handle it himself.

Sure enough, Chi Yingxue was skilled in his movements. He stopped the bleeding and bandaged in three or two times. At the end, he wiped off the blood stains on the non-wound area with an alcohol cotton ball, which was very meticulous.

"You have to go to the hospital when you go out." Xu Wang warned worriedly.

Chi Yingxue nodded, but when she saw her expression, she was not at ease.

"What did you use just now?" Qian Ai finally recovered a little from the shock of destroying the opponent.

Chi Yingxue: "."

Qian Ai looked at the big pit on the ground, um, it was a subsidence, and then looked up at the blue sky and white clouds: "Where is the sky falling?"

Chi Yingxue tilted her head: "Do you want to feel it?"

Qian Ai's back froze: "No need!"

Chi Yingxue smiled: "This is a one-time weapon. It didn't let the sky fall when I used it. If I want to experience it again, I have to wait for the next time."

Qian Ai: "… "

It can be seen that the new teammates are in a good mood, so good that they are making jokes for the first time ever.

But Xu Wang still felt distressed. In addition to distressing his teammates' injuries, he also distressed stationery: "To deal with them, there is no need for such destructive weapons."

Chi Yingxue looked at him and smiled clearly: "Okay, I will keep all the powerful stationery and use it on the blade in the future."

"..." Xu Wang didn't know what to say for a while. Teammates who do not communicate well, he has a headache, and teammates who understand this, why are they disturbing!

Returning to the quiet forecourt of the hotel, there was a gust of breeze that made the leaves rustle.

Xu Wang raised his head following the voice, the shadows of the trees were mottled.

He calmed down, carefully took out the epiphytic flower from his arms, held it in both hands, and held it up to the big tree as if returning the original.

The tree was silent.

The rustling of the leaves stopped at this moment, like a restless person waiting with bated breath, waiting for hope, or dashed.

Finally, the epiphytic flower slowly emits a pale blue light in the ray of sunlight that penetrates through the gap between the branches.

The flowers disappeared in Xu Wang's hands, and in front of the big tree, there was a man with blue hair.

It walked gently under the tree, opened its arms, and slowly embraced the trunk.

The sun drew beautiful contours on its face.

The five friends watched its figure fade away until it disappeared.

On the tall tree trunk, a cluster of light blue flowers is quietly epiphytic, and the lush branches and leaves cover it, and it is well protected.

[I used to love you... May God bless you, another person will love you as much as I do.]

The first letter of this love line is the heart of a tree to a flower.

Affectionate, desperate, but still hope that the other party can be happy.

However, there should be no need for the person who "loves you like me".

Xu Wang looked at the tree quietly.

Your heart, it understands.
