Chapter 10: The Willow Tree

Ye Lingqi frowned slightly, clicked on the webpage, and the first thing he saw was a high-definition picture, which was a willow tree with a diameter of about ten meters.

The willow tree is really very thick, and it is estimated that even ten people may not be able to hug the willow tree.

After the picture, it is to tell what happened, this willow tree was a day ago suddenly appeared abnormal and hurt people's lives, it was planted in the family's yard before, because it was already more than a hundred years old, so it was very thick, about three months ago, this willow tree did not know what happened, it began to grow every day, almost one day at a time.

At first, everyone didn't care, until the willow tree crushed the floor tiles in the yard and found out that the willow tree was different, but at that time, no one cared, just said that it would grow, and thought it was affected by the awakening ability of the owner of the house.

That's right, the man who owns the willow yard awakened the ability more than three months ago, and I don't know what it is, but it's already among the first people to awaken the ability.

At that time, everyone in their family was attracted by this incident, and they didn't think much about it after discovering the abnormality of the willow tree, but who expected that just yesterday, this big willow tree suddenly attacked the six-year-old girl of the owner's house.

The baby girl was standing under the willow tree and her mother, the wife of the owner, watched as her daughter was wrapped around her neck by the hanging branches of the willow tree and sucked dry in a matter of seconds.

The hostess was so frightened that she cried out, and ran over to rescue her daughter as if she was crazy, and the branches of the willow tree were torn down a lot by the hostess, and her daughter was saved, but she was already out of breath.

It was only when the man came back that he found out about the tragedy.

The matter didn't end, just the next day, that is, this morning, the male master, the awakened one, wanted to cut down the willow tree to avenge his daughter, but he didn't want the willow tree to attack suddenly, and he directly penetrated the man's fragile chest with a slender branch, and once again sucked the man's blood dry.

Then came the hostess.

A family of three died under the attack of a willow tree one after another, how unbelievable, but this is the case, especially since the male owner is still an awakened person.

When the neighbors found out, they saw the man and the hostess being hung on the willow tree in almost the same position, all the blood in their bodies was drained, and the appearance of the willow tree also changed greatly, not to mention the thick body, and even the bluestone walls of the yard were all broken, and the ground was even exposed with tangled roots, like those ancient trees in the rainforest.

Later, the willow tree injured two more passers-by, and now, like the previous man and host, they are hanging from the top of the willow tree, and through the already dilapidated courtyard, you can still see the body of the six-year-old girl on the ground.

This incident caused quite a stir in Chiyu City at that time, it was an awakened person, and he died on a willow tree so easily. No one would have thought about the reason for this, why was it like that?

Ye Liqi looked at the post below, and then turned the mouse back to the picture, and the picture was enlarged by her.

I saw that behind a broken and collapsed wall, there was a large verdant and green willow tree, the branches of the willow tree were like a Milky Way waterfall, the lush green was extremely beautiful, and it was very aura, but on the left side of this tree, there were four dried corpses hanging, although they had been marked with mosaics, but they could still vaguely see the dry bones behind them.

Ye Liqi looked at the picture, and unexpectedly gave birth to a coldness for no reason, which went straight to the bottom of her heart, making her tremble slightly.

Putting down the mouse, Ye Liqi turned on the light in the hall, found a bag of instant noodles with tomato and brisket flavor that he liked to eat, put it in the pot and boiled it, looking at the boiling noodle soup in the pot, Ye Liqi actually lost his mind for a moment.

In the middle of the night, the noodles in the pot were ready, Ye Liqi took out the noodles, brought them all the way into the living room, and put them on the coffee table, somehow, she suddenly raised her head and glanced at the pot of mimosas next to the living room window.

Suddenly, Ye Lingqi smiled, went to the computer to find some news about the willow tree, confirmed that there was indeed such a thing, and then turned off the computer, eating instant noodles while watching TV.

Sure enough, the news was not reported on TV, which shows that even if the awakened and the ability have filled everyone's ears now, the country will still consciously block some news.

Indeed, some news is not very suitable for reporting on TV, Ye Liqi thought again.

After eating the instant noodles happily, Ye Lili cleaned up and returned to the bedroom.

There are not many things that happened today, but they all need her to think about, so Ye Liqi didn't care about the disappearance of the mobile phone, she simply forgot about the mobile phone and began to plan for tomorrow.

The Miracle House starts at eight o'clock, and she has to go to the Anomaly first when she gets up in the morning, and the location of the Anomaly is a little far from her home, but it's just a walk, so she can get up early for a while, and she thinks that there will definitely be no fewer people who may appear in the Anomaly tomorrow, and she also wants to see the excitement.

After that, I have to go to the bank, and I don't need to withdraw the 50,000 yuan first, in case I can't make up the 150,000 yuan after this month, Ye Liqi simply didn't think about the idea of borrowing money from others.

Her relatives are only her aunt, and others are also unrelated and unreasonable, so they can't open that mouth, and besides, although her aunt's family is not difficult, it is impossible to take out 150,000 yuan at once, her aunt has taken care of her, and people don't have their own homes, and between relatives, there is more money to mention.

As for friends and classmates, it is even more impossible to think about it, her classmates have not been in touch for eight years now, and friends are those comrades-in-arms in the army, but 150,000 is not a small number.

Ye Lingqi put his hands under his head, put aside the matter of money first, and remembered the willow tree again.

All kinds of situations show that the willow tree may have also awakened, but it's not like ordinary people, such as fire and water, it should be more inclined to the kind of monster in ancient times, and it can be regarded as a willow demon.

So what about the future, in the current world, the awakened have just appeared, and there is already such a strong willow demon, and there will be some others in the future, such as black bears, tigers, leopards, lions, etc., and besides, such as that kind of large zoo is also prone to this kind of awakened animal.

Ye Lingqi frowned, she didn't know why she suddenly remembered this, but since the willow tree hurt people she saw today, she suddenly remembered other beasts and animals in her mind.

Although after entering the 21st century, because of the development of human life, most of the ecological resources have been destroyed, and some of the beasts in the mountains and forests have slowly disappeared, but this does not mean that they are really dead.

It's like the back of Ye Liqi's house, not far away, there is a large rolling mountain, but she doesn't know if there are wolves and leopards in the mountains.

Putting all those things aside, Ye Liqi tugged at the quilt on his body and began to sleep.

In the dark room, there was silence, the moonlight shone in through the window, and if anyone was watching now, they would definitely find a few black spots in the room that were very different from the rest of the place.

It is not very correct to say that it is black spots, but it can be seen with the naked eye that the places where those black spots appear seem to glow, emitting a faint black light to the surroundings.

The black dots slowly circled around the room, as if they were familiar with the environment, and it looked as if there were more black dots than they had appeared last night.

The black dots flew freely in the air, and soon came to the living room, flew a small circle in the place where Ye Lingqi sat during the day, and then ran to the windowsill, as if looking at the outside scenery through the window.

Eventually, the little black dots slowly landed on the mimosa leaves.

The mimosa, which was supposed to shrink at the touch of a button, stretched its leaves naturally as if it didn't feel the touch of the black dots at all.

There are indeed more black spots than yesterday, I remember last night, these black spots were a little laborious to wrap the small mobile phone, but today they can be completely covered on that small pot of mimosa.

In about a minute or two, or maybe tens of seconds, the brown-red flower pot seemed to grow a mimosa with black leaves, and at the same time as those black dots all flew up, the brown-red flower pot was empty, even the leaves and rhizomes disappeared.

Ye Liqi slept until the middle of the night and suddenly woke up, she had a dream, in the dream, in front of her was the huge willow demon, and behind her was a black green-eyed leopard was chasing her, what scared her was that the leopard's mouth could still spit out an invisible knife, which could easily cut through her skin, like an invisible knife.

Opening his eyes, Ye Liqi subconsciously stretched out his hand to touch the mobile phone to see what time it was, but he didn't touch the mobile phone, and saw the empty bedside table by the moonlight.

Retracting his hand, Ye Liqi lifted the quilt, put on slippers and walked to the bathroom.

When Ye Lingqi happened to walk to the door, she happened to see the few black dots floating on the transparent window, not a few, but a swarm, like a swarm of bees, flying on the window of her house in small pieces.

Ye Liqi slowly approached, and those black dots also flew back, and the two were standing opposite each other in the center of the living room, and opposite Ye Liqi were those black dots that were less than thirty centimeters away from her.
