When the stars were still looming in the sky, Fang Shan was woken up by the annoying knock on the door. He lazily urged Wei Su Shen, who had already woken up: "Go and see who is here to bring warmth so early in the morning."
After the door opened, there was a fair and cute baby face.
Jiang Qiu greeted him good-naturedly: "Good morning."
"You may have misunderstood," Wei Sushen looked back at the sleeping system: "His morning starts at twelve o'clock noon."
The baby-faced smile froze, and he said that he wanted to ask them to do the investigation work together.
I don't know when Fang Shan, who looked like a ghost, suddenly floated over. Jiang Qiu looked at his white floor-length nightgown, and his eyebrows jumped again.
"Troubleshooting what?"
Jiang Qiu narrowed his eyes: "List of dangerous pets."
Fang Shan tried his best to get out of his sleepiness and recalled the exchange at yesterday's dinner. It seemed that such a thing happened.
After asking him to wait, he washed up and changed into simple clothes. He instantly transformed into a handsome young man, with a slight smile between his eyebrows and eyes, and there was no trace of the tiredness just now.
Jiang Qiu's car was a pickup truck that seemed to have been modified to make it look solid and indestructible.
Unexpectedly, the driver turned out to be Li Bufan.
Fang Shan seemed to be sighing: "The relationship between the two of you is really good."
Even if an S-level psychic takes the initiative to drive, not many people would dare to let him be the driver.
Jiang Qiu lied without changing his expression: "This is an extraordinary hobby."
From beginning to end, Li Bufan didn't interrupt, his thin lips pursed into a straight line, showing no anger or authority.
Jiang Qiu sent an email to each of them, which recorded information on all people who might keep dangerous pets.
Fang Shan rested his head against the car window out of boredom, looking at the scenery outside the window: "Even if you visit them one by one, you will make mistakes in your judgment, which will lead to fish that slip through the net."
Jiang Qiu did not deny it, but said in a casual tone: "There is no better plan at the moment."
Fang Shan yawned: "If you ask me, I would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go."
Jiang Qiu suppressed the unwillingness in his eyes, wondering if it was an illusion... The man behind him seemed more like a villain than himself.
Because the main road had just been cleared of mutated plants, many public facilities were damaged during this period. Before all the traffic lights were repaired, the car stopped and walked all the way, finally driving out of the edge of the city, and finally stopped outside the forest.
Jiang Qiu briefly introduced the situation: "This used to be a forest park. After the disaster, a large number of creatures evolved. Later, a Transcendent A Grade superpower asked to live in it and calmed down the biological riots in the forest."
The so-called Transcendent A Grade is infinitely close to S Grade, but there is always a thin line between it.
In places with many trees, the air is naturally more humid. When Fang Shan walked in, his brows furrowed inadvertently. He turned his gaze away, taking in his surroundings.
All this did not escape Jiang Qiu, who had been watching his actions, pretending to be curious and asked: "What are you looking at?"
Fang Shan: "I smell something unpleasant."
While talking, he saw a red dot swaying on the trees on the left, and then stopped in front of his chest. Fang Shan did not dodge, but said to Jiang Qiu: "It seems that the owner here does not welcome me."
Jiang Qiu: "At most, it's a warning."
For people above level B, if they can still succeed if they shoot at close range, sniping is the most useless method.
The moment the bullet is fired, the psychic can use mental power to forcibly adjust the airflow in the air and change the trajectory of the shot.
Not long after he finished speaking, a burst of hearty laughter rang out in the forest. The person walking towards him had a rather high nose bridge and odd-colored pupils. He could tell at a glance that he was of mixed race. Although he is tall, he walks very lightly.
"I'm Pan."
Before the person even approaches, the self-introduction has already been completed.
Fang Shan used his mental power to sense his surroundings and could detect dangerous auras from many vegetation. In such an environment, even Li Bufan would have difficulty surviving. It's not without reason that Pan was included in the list of suspects.
Pan seemed to know Li Bufan, and he stepped forward and gave him a friendly hug, but compared to his enthusiasm, Li Bufan seemed lukewarm.
Unlike the Chinese people, Pan spoke very bluntly: "What are you doing here?"
There were a lot of excuses, and Li Bufan was about to throw one out at random to send him away, but Fang Shan was more direct: "Check whether you are raising mutant animals. Once found, kill them immediately."
Pan probably didn't expect him to be so direct, and was stunned on the spot.
Fang Shan turned to Jiang Qiu and said, "You are responsible for stopping him, while my brother and I search the surrounding area."
Since he found out that they were not real brothers, Wei Sushen didn't feel any pain in his heart when he heard the title of brother again.
"Isn't this bad?" Jiang Qiu couldn't help but feel a little headache when he encountered someone who acted out of common sense: "It would be unsightly to have a grudge over this."
Fang Shan said with an indifferent attitude: "High-level spiritual power users are strictly prohibited from killing each other. At worst, I will find another place to hang out afterwards."
Li Bufan, who was silent on the side, cast a suspicious look at Jiang Qiu, asking with his eyes whether this guy was really not with them... Why was he acting more arrogantly than them
Pan was surprisingly not angry, at least there was no dissatisfaction on his face but he praised him for his true nature.
The direction of action was determined inexplicably. Jiang Qiu and Li Bufan stayed where they were, while Fang Shan and Wei Sushen walked side by side towards the wooden house.
During this period, Wei Sushen looked at his watch and saw that there were still several hours left before lunch. He shook his head: "The search is too exhausting."
Fang Shan's voice was as brisk as his steps: "The job of a guard is easy, but if he is a bad person, wouldn't he bear the brunt of it?"
Wei Sushen thought thoughtfully, and after a moment said: "If there is any discovery, it is best to notify you by text message."
Fang Shan nodded slightly: "First, we can give them some buffering time, and secondly, we can escape first."
The leaves were rustling in the wind, and Fang Shan's voice was low enough. However, for high-level spiritual power owners, the conversation between them was transmitted to the ears of the three people behind them word for word.
Pan couldn't help but ask Li Bufan for confirmation: "But there is a blood feud?"
Li Bufan didn't reply. He only had one thought in his mind. As an opposing force, Jiang Qiu's insidiousness and viciousness were even worse than those of the two brothers.
At this time, Fang Shan was conducting a serious search in the room, occasionally stopping somewhere with his chin propped up as if in a daze.
"There is a rotten smell, but the source can't be found."
Wei Su Shen stood at the door and released Twinkle.
Fang Shan looked at the Gu insect working hard on the ground and seriously considered going back and adding a drumstick to it.
The voodoo was very efficient and quickly settled in the gap under the wardrobe. Fang Shan bent down and touched it. There was almost no dust in the blind corner. He peeled off the loose wooden board and the iron door hidden underneath appeared in his field of vision.
After staring at it for a few seconds, Fang Shan gave up his reckless move to pry it open and put the board back again: "Find a chance and come back to explore again in the evening."
There is an 80% chance that the three people outside are the same species. If they fight back together and are attacked by mutated plants in the woods, they will not be able to bear it.
Wei Sushen laughed: "Do you doubt Jiang Qiu that much?"
"From the first moment I saw him, I felt like I was looking in the mirror." Fang Shan smiled: "Today's visit is probably a test for us."
Perhaps it has something to do with his own temperament. The system has a strong ability to sense people with evil personalities.
The wind shuttled through the woods in circles. When Jiang Qiu smiled, his baby face looked particularly cute: "Have you discovered anything?"
Fang Shan spread his hands, a little disappointed in his eyes.
Jiang Qiu couldn't distinguish between true and false for a moment, so he looked into his eyes and said, "Since you're here, you might as well help Pan deal with the newly mutated plants."
Fang Shan nodded, showing his willingness to help others.
The mutation of plants, like humans, requires a huge opportunity. Regarding the first-order mutation, everyone tacitly adopts a ignoring attitude and focuses on the second-order animals and plants.
Fang Shan did not deliberately avoid Jiang Qiu when he took action, showing his extraordinary strength.
Jiang Qiu's eyes dimmed. Hearing this was the same thing. Seeing with his own eyes that their mental strength had returned to its peak, it still felt incredible.
Fang Shan seemed to know what he was thinking and summed it up with the word miracle.
Jiang Qiu couldn't hide the interest in his eyes: "A miracle."
Because he firmly believes in science and medicine, when something happens that cannot be explained by knowledge, the fanaticism in his character will prompt him to find out.
They looked at each other and smiled wryly.
Fickle people communicate with fickle people, and silent people naturally communicate with people who also remain silent.
Li Bufan took the initiative to help Wei Sushen block a wave of mutant sparrow attacks.
"Your power is stronger than your own level."
Wei Sushen nodded.
Li Bufan said directly: "This is not in line with common sense."
Wei Sushen said calmly: "It must be related to my brother."
This statement can be regarded as telling half of the truth. With the blessing of system power, it is normal for the force value to increase appropriately.
Li Bufan didn't know the reason. His first reaction was to think of Jiang Qiu's definition of the relationship between the two last night: orthopedics.
Could this really be the key to increasing strength
After roughly cleaning up, Wei Sushen stopped when his mental power was half exhausted: "It's almost done. He can handle the rest by himself."
Li Bufan stopped his hand at the same time and walked to join Jiang Qiu.
Pan's happiness was obvious: "It seems that I can have a good rest in the remaining half month."
After he whistled, a parrot flew from a distance and landed on his shoulder. Its emerald green feathers trembled as it spoke: "Thank you, thank you."
The parrot repeated it mechanically over and over again.
Pan's voice was a bit mocking: "This is the only pet I have, but it's not even a first-order mutation."
Fang Shan responded with a smile.
Pan enthusiastically asked them to stay for lunch, but Fang Shan declined politely.
"I hunted a fresh wild deer in the forest this morning. It would be a loss to leave without trying it."
Jiang Qiu suddenly blinked and said to Fang Shan, "You can't eat wild game at any time."
Fang Shan sighed and nodded in agreement as if coaxing a child: "Then just eat here and treat me like I'm showing you the world."
“…”
Venison is a great supplement, and hot pot is most atmospheric when eaten with a large number of people. Pan was busy and brought a plate of chopped meat to the table.
The fishy smell of fresh meat is not strong, but it is still dripping with blood, which always makes people think in another way.
Especially Pan, who was wearing a blood-stained white apron, showing his gums when he smiled, and looked at Fang Shan and Wei Sushen with a deliberately meaningful look.
Jiang Qiu took the lead and put a piece of meat into the pot. Looking at the boiling red oil, he asked Fang Shan why he didn't eat it. The latter said calmly: "I recently watched a horror movie called "Stewing People in a Pot." Mood."
He smiled and waved his hand: "In order not to disturb everyone's appetite, I won't talk about the content of the movie."
The smile at the corner of Jiang Qiu's mouth was a little stiff. Didn't the name of the movie already represent the content
After his "tell the truth", the weird atmosphere of a few minutes ago disappeared. Pan Qian laughed a few times and teased Fang Shan for overthinking.
Fang Shan walked down the steps given by the other party, but privately poked Wei Sushen and muttered: "Go and find some fruit for your fairy shellfish."
Wei Sushen stood up and walked outside without saying a word.
Jiang Qiu watched the interaction between the two and thought to himself.
During lunch, Fang Shan only ate some fruits picked by Wei Sushen. Wei Sushen was even more powerful than him and drank two mouthfuls of water in total. After the meal, Pan had no reason to keep the two of them and bid them a friendly farewell.
His smile remained until Wei Sushen and Fang Shan left. When he faced Jiang Qiu again, he looked like a child who had done something wrong: "Sorry, I messed up what you told me to do."
Jiang Qiu put down his chopsticks, and the slight collision sound made people feel nervous.
Without waiting for the expected blame, Pan raised his eyes again to peek at the other person's expression.
"It's not all your fault," Jiang Qiu said lightly, "Those two people's way of thinking is indeed different."
Pan breathed a sigh of relief.
Whether it is wild venison or the base of hot pot, they are specially formulated with abundant energy. Eating them will not cause harm to the human body, but will stimulate the mental energy. Jiang Qiu has always suspected that the two brothers deliberately concealed their strength, and their real level may be more than A level.
The air suddenly fell silent.
Jiang Qiu didn't speak, and the other two didn't dare to say anything.
After a long time, when the bottom of the hot pot was almost dry, Jiang Qiu slowly said, "Where is he?"
Pan reacted for a moment and then realized who he was referring to. He looked at Jiang Qiu's face and whispered, "It's almost the same as before. I keep cursing you day and night."
Jiang Qiu's smile condensed: "Take me to see it."
Pan changed out of his blood-stained apron and bent down to open the iron door under the floor. Below was a narrow road. Walking down the cold stone steps, there was a space of about ten square meters.
Before reaching the point, you can hear an angry shout.
The sound of footsteps passed by, and the person who was cursing in a low voice just stopped and stared at the person with angry eyes.
Li Bufan moved a chair and Jiang Qiu sat on it, as elegantly as if he were sitting on a throne: "It seems that Pan has taken good care of you."
The imprisoned man's eyes were full of resentment, and he smiled sarcastically: "No, three meals a day are made according to the best standards. I am worried that I will have a mental breakdown due to no communication for a long time, and I can go out for some fresh air from time to time. "
If you look carefully, he and Jiang Qiu have similar eyebrows, but the man has no dimples and his skin is darker.
Jiang Qiu's voice was filled with emotion: "At least I'm still alive. If you had succeeded, I would probably be dead now."
He was hunted down and survived several times, but who would have thought that it was because of his brother's betrayal.
There was absolutely no regret in the man's eyes: "As long as you provide your information, I can marry the daughter of the commander of the First District Army and make a career from now on. Not everyone can seize such an opportunity."
Not being able to be free for a long time meant that he could neither survive nor die. He was not afraid of angering Jiang Qiu, and even hoped that he would be able to get some relief.
Jiang Qiu did not do what he wanted, but instead leaned forward and suddenly came closer. The brotherhood had long been exhausted by the betrayal in the early years, and now they hated each other. Such a close distance made both sides feel sick.
A few seconds seemed like an eternity. Jiang Qiu stood up straight, looked ugly and murmured: "I can't keep my mouth shut."
Just four words put the man under great psychological pressure. When he looked at him again, his eyes were filled with unprecedented horror: "What do you want to do to me?"
Jiang Qiu slowly closed his eyes, gave up trying and looked at Li Bufan and Pan standing behind him, his voice indifferent: "For unknown science, you must have the courage to sacrifice yourself."
The two of them felt uneasy. Before Jiang Qiu spoke, Li Bufan solemnly said: "I only have one younger brother, but he was killed by zombies long ago."
Pan Sheng was afraid that it would be too late, so he hurriedly continued: "I have no brothers or sisters."
They unanimously reached a consensus that the only child would be safe!
