Volume 7: Escape Room (51)
The man-eating tree?the first one I met in the playground?Lin Yingkong turned his ear in the direction of the minister, "What's the matter?"
"Another one died. Feng Rong stood up and walked towards the center of the crowd with a not very good-looking face, and the crowd who was still in surprise subconsciously avoided a way, and before he got closer, he saw that the giant tree was intertwined, and even the ground of the auditorium was pierced, but between the ground and the giant tree, where the roots were surrounded, a miserable white face and distorted limbs were faintly revealed, just like ...... The tree sucked from a man's flesh and sprouted from her bones, blossoming into holy and sinful flowers.
And that face belongs to Chen Siya.
Not far from him, Xu Ye, who was in a playground with Chen Siya before, was very stunned, "Hasn't this tree been adopted as a pet by her?"
Feng Rong looked over, "Are you entering the playground?"
Xu Ye nodded, and pointed to the giant tree, obviously with injuries on his hands, "The amusement facilities there have become the territory of plants, the boss is the tree man, several groups of people have been attacked by it, and the loss is not small, Chen Siya is born with a strong talent for manipulating plants, if she didn't help subdue the tree man, it is estimated that we would have to have a few fewer people." ”
"It's been eaten back, and the wisdom of the tree man has also died with her, and it doesn't seem to have been benefited," Taihang squatted next to the root of the tree and stared at Chen Siya inside, this girl was a little introverted and a little timid, but her smile was very pleasing, but at this moment, her eyes were straight to him, and she didn't look away, that look was not an ordinary person, Taihang's heart jumped, and then he came back to his senses and said: "This is a man-eating tree, much more arrogant than ordinary plant pets, and it is normal to be bitten back, Zeng Yufen told her not to accept this thing at that time." ”
As soon as he reminded him, Feng Rong suddenly remembered that Chen Siya had two good friends, and they ...... He subconsciously looked around, and the two of them were not eliminated, Liu Qianyun was standing beside the giant tree in despair, Zeng Yufen was pulling and pulling with a few people like thunder, as if he was blaming them for being a shrinking turtle and causing Chen Siya to come out to subdue the little tree man, but those people didn't pay much attention to her, and she was very at ease.
Feng Rong didn't look at them anymore, the giant tree was still growing, and he stretched his spiritual sense into the center of the root, but Chen Siya obviously had no signs of life, and the whole person was assimilated by the giant tree, and his body became like wood, Feng Rong stared at the texture of the wood and gradually climbed up to the frightened face, and then was drowned by the growing roots, and there was no trace of it anymore - a human life, and disappeared without a sound.
The little treeman's mind was annihilated, and the remaining giant tree absorbed the nutrients from Chen Siya's corpse, and the branches and leaves went to the top of the auditorium. Almost stopped growing before penetrating the roof, Feng Rong retracted his gaze, turned around, the corners of the pure black clothes swirled in a small arc, some long forehead hair brushed the eyelashes, and was immediately swept away by the strange air current, the pair of phoenix eyes that were colder and sharper than the blade looked straight away without concealment, and the people he saw felt that his body was blown by a gust of winter biting cold wind, the skin and bones were faintly stinging, and the soft and soft water spiritual power was stirring around him, and it was actually more powerful than the flame and more like the wind than the blade, and his eyes were the same, just so gently and skillfully crushed the arrogance of dozens of people in the audience, and the spiritual power was only a few snaps of a finger, and it was retracted in a blink of an eye, many people did not resist, and one stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
Feng Rong raised his chin slightly, his eyes drooped slightly, it was a kind of arrogant and disdainful posture, others would feel too arrogant to do it, he fit without flaws, his body was as unshakable as a towering mountain, his voice was calm, and there were no ups and downs, "If you want to play, you can kill people at will," he slowed down, "Don't be seen by me." ”
In fact, there was no threat or danger in this sentence, but the entire auditorium was silent in an instant, and even the sound of breathing was stagnant, until Feng Rong was about to walk to Lin Yingkong's resting place, Ning Bao stopped him, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Are you suspecting that we killed her?"
None of the others expected him to dare to speak out, and those who knew the identity of Feng Rong secretly said that they were fearless, and Zhang Li, who was standing next to him, almost wanted to press him into the crack in the ground at the beginning - he had heard much more than his two companions, but he didn't have time to remind them.
But even if he knew, it was estimated that Ning Bao would not care, whether he was nervous or too bold, he always didn't take offending people in his eyes, but Feng Rong glanced back at him, and that look made him feel excited, and he suddenly forgot what he had just asked.
Feng Rong looked at him sideways, "I don't doubt anyone, it's just that I don't like to see dead people." ”
Compared to this, this sentence is more like a clear threat, after all, the Minister of Spiritual Law Enforcement has probably seen as many dead people as he has seen living people, and he is more comfortable killing people than eating, so many people's faces have become treacherous.
Feng Rong took their expressions into his eyes and didn't explain anything - what he said was true, he had seen all kinds of deaths, and the lives that ended in front of him were countless, but he often killed people but didn't like the dead, most people dying in his hands meant that more people could be prevented, and he would stick to this principle all his life, no matter how the world judged.
"What's going on?" Hearing the minister's footsteps, Lin Yingkong asked in a low voice, of course, he didn't ask about Feng Rong's high-profile threat to the audience.
"You heard it, too, she's being devoured," Feng Rong sat down, "and it looks like this." ”
Lin Yingkong squinted slightly, because of the light, the redness in his eyes became much more obvious, "It's a pity that Bingqiao is not there." ”
"It's not easy to do here," Feng Rong described the scene to him, and said, "It takes a lot of time to split the whole tree without hurting the corpse that is integrated with this tree." "According to the rules of the playground, I'm afraid they can't afford to perform the autopsy so leisurely.
E Jingbai, who had been acting as Yan Mi's human pillow, felt the breath in the air, "Her breath disappeared quickly, and it was in full view of everyone, and if someone wanted to do something, she wouldn't be here." ”
Lin Yingkong also agreed with this and asked Feng Rong: "Minister, what do you think is the cause of her death?"
"She was killed. A voice suddenly came from the side.
The three of them followed the sound, and She Xun ran to them unconsciously, squatting and squatting, smiling ill-intentionedly.
Lin Yingkong remembered that he had also mentioned the warm-up game before the start of the Singles' Day party, and then he began to die one after another, so he said: "When it is dark please close your eyes, the first person to be killed by the killer is Ling Yaojia, not Hu ......" Speaking of this, he slammed his eyes, his pupils dilated slightly, obviously thinking of something that surprised him very much.
"Yingkong?" Feng Rong suddenly noticed his strange appearance, and turned to look at Lin Yingkong, that tone and eyes...... It's really indescribably subtle, so subtle that E Jingbai can't help but look at Feng Rong, although the minister is not an arrogant person, but with his status, it is normal for others to revolve around him, so it is normal for everyone in the field team of the General Office to watch Assistant Lin circling around him all day long, and at this time, Feng Rong will pay attention to Lin Yingkong with a very focused emotion, and E Jingbai really feels unaccustomed.
Mr. Drought has a feeling, Lin Yingkong naturally will not ignore the different ups and downs in Feng Rong's tone, the originally tense heartstrings were loosened, smiled at him, and then straightened his face and said: "I just thought that when playing the game, Hu Hui's identity was a judge." ”
“…… Huh?" Feng Rong was slightly stunned when he saw him suddenly smiling at himself, and immediately reacted: "Our game is not finished yet, except for the killer himself, only the judge knows who the killer is!"
"So he will be the first to die?" E Jingbai recalled, "After that, Ling Yaojia and Chen Siya...... There is nothing wrong with this order. ”
"Uh-huh," She Xun replied in a nasal voice, looking back and forth at Feng Rong and Lin Yingkong with interest, as if he had discovered something interesting, and his lazy tone became a little more energetic, and said, "If the killer wants to kill, he must first kill the insider." ”
"But the premise of this is that the killer is really the killer," Lin Yingkong thoughtfully, the shadow around him also poked out, tentatively circling around She Xun's shadow, "It may be just a coincidence, compared to me, let me be presumptuous, you are more likely to mislead us when you say this." ”
"What do you say?" She Xun curled the corners of his mouth and smiled, and the feeling of intrigue deepened again, "Anyone can be a killer," he raised his fingers, made a "shhh" motion, and said softly, "He may be right next to you." ”
His voice fell, and he wandered away as silently as he had come, and the eyes of those around him, seemingly inadvertently, were cast over...... The meaning is unclear, and the mind is strange.
The three members of the field service team of the General Office were silent for a while, and then Lin Yingkong sighed and said, "This trip is really a lot of troubled water...... Tut-tut, you can't escape work on vacation, minister, are you born with the physique to provoke work?"
Lin Yingkong's ridicule made the frozen atmosphere disperse at once, E Jingbai asked: "You don't know who the killer is?" He didn't participate in the game of please close your eyes when it was dark, although he was a bystander, but I don't know if Qi En did it intentionally, when the killer opened his eyes to know each other and kill people, there would be enchantment protection, and the onlookers couldn't see the specific situation, only that civilians kept being killed.
Feng Rong and Lin Yingkong also said that their spiritual sense was blocked by the enchantment, and it was just a game, they didn't care too much, and it was impossible for them to bother thinking about how to bypass the enchantment to know who the killer was.
So E Jingbai asked, "Then what is your identity?"
"Police. Feng Rong replied, and then noticed that Lin Yingkong "looked" at himself, that gaze was a little bizarre, and he wondered, "What's wrong?"
Lin Yingkong narrowed his eyes, "What a coincidence, I'm also a policeman." ”
