Chapter 2: A Talking Tree
Huo Fatzi's endurance is definitely ridiculously strong in the Inhuman Circle, after all, he is an elite who came out of a special unit in the Secret Bureau, and he has many traits brought out of the army....... Not only does he have the courage to collapse in the face and not change, but he also has a ridiculously strong endurance.
In other words, ordinary things are not a matter at all in Huo Fatzi's opinion.
But this time he was a.
In front of the talking tree, he had the urge to burn it down countless times, if it weren't for the fact that the headquarters would blame it, and the tree was Chen Xian's private property.......
"Let me say first, you should be mentally prepared, I suspect that the tree given to you by the headquarters this time is a defective product, if you don't like it, quickly apply to the headquarters, and let them exchange it for a gift."
Standing outside Chen Xian's office, the group was listening to Huo Fatzi's bitter instructions.
"Look at what you say...... Is that tree so scary? ”
"Because it's more valuable, there's people watching it twenty-four hours a day, just these days...... The people staring at it have changed at least fifty batches, and more than twenty of them have been traumatized. Huo Fatzi's face was pale when he said this, and he looked frightened, "Although their strength is not strong, they are all strangers in the establishment, and there are several fighters from the Armed Forces Department......."
Trauma?
Hearing Huo Fatzi's words, Chen Xian couldn't help but get nervous, and said in his heart that the tree seemed to be an abnormal life...... But it seems to be harmful to people!
"What kind of trauma?" Lu Yisheng asked impatiently, he was tired enough to take a taxi back to the bureau before, "Was he scared or what?" ”
Huo Fatzi glanced at him and replied, "Annoyed." ”
With that, Huo Fatzi took a deep breath and held the doorknob.
At this moment, his expression was extremely solemn, as if behind the door was a dangerous place like a tiger's den in Longtan, and the expression of facing a great enemy made everyone can't help but get nervous.
When you open the door, there is silence in the office.
The curtains were wide open, and the room was lit up in the sun, and the sun was slowly setting through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows......
Directly in front of the desk, there is a square jade flower pot about forty centimeters in diameter, and a small tree that looks like a lemon tree is planted in the soil covered with gravel grains, and the overall height seems to be less than one meter.
"That's it?" Chen Xian looked surprised.
"That's it." Huo Fatzi nodded, his face full of vigilance.
As everyone slowly walked into the office, the tree trembled without wind, and there was a rumbling sound between the leaves.
Huo Fatzi closed the office door, and then walked to the corner of the room, keeping as far distance as possible from the tree.
"Go over and take a look, I don't want to talk to it."
Hearing Huo Fatzi say this, before Chen Xian and the others could react, the tree suddenly opened its mouth.
His voice was somewhat high-pitched, like that of a young boy under the age of ten.
"Huo Fatty, Fatty, Fatty, Uncle, you're here! Did you miss me?! Where did we last go!? ”
"Oh yes, like that rain I had fifty years ago! You don't know! It was so heavy when it rained! If someone hadn't moved me out of the way in time, I might have drowned! Do you know how scared I am of dying? ”
"Oh yes! You humans seem to be afraid of death too, right?! Fatty, are you afraid of death?! Whether you're afraid or not, I'm scared anyway, and when it comes to being afraid of death, I have to say that time sixty years ago......."
From a certain point of view, the voice of this tree is still quite good, like an innocent and ignorant child telling you his story, but ...... The pace of its speech is so fast! Two or three hundred words pop out of the "mouth" in less than ten seconds, and the more they are spoken, the faster they are spoken, compared to which the so-called raps are completely surprisingly slow!
If you let it play rap, no one can match it at this mouth speed!
"You know how annoyed I amused it, right?" Huo Fatzi gritted his teeth and stared at the tree, its immature chatter was still ringing over there, and the more he listened, the more he felt that there were thousands of flies hovering in his ears, buzzing so much that people's brains were about to explode!
At this time, the tree also realized that there were many strangers in the house.
It slowly twisted in the pot, as if its "face" was the one facing the window.
"Who are you?"
This is a rare sentence that it can say at a normal pace, and there is an innocent tone in its lovely voice, although it is not known in what way it is observing the outside world, but it seems to be able to see it intuitively...... Is it eyed?
Chen Xian was observing it, and it seemed to be observing Chen Xian as well.
"You smell weird?! Are you human?! It doesn't seem to be!! ”
The tree muttered, and with a snap of time pulled its roots out of the soil.
That's right, I pulled out the roots myself.
Then he planted his head on the floor.
"Ahhh!!h Hurry up and plant me back!! ”
“........”
Everyone looked at the small tree that was "struggling" on the ground speechlessly.
So.
What kind of mentality do you have to uproot the tree yourself. Out?
The road to self-denial is not as ruthless as you!
"Don't make any noise, I'll plant you back."
Chen Xian stepped forward and slowly lifted the small tree from the ground, after all, this was a reward gift from the headquarters, and he really had to take action at the critical moment.......
"Thank you, great people! What's your name? I'm called a talking tree! ”
"My name is ......"
"Good man, why is the aura on your body so strange?! I don't think I'm like any of these humans!! Are you an alien?! ”
“.......”
"Why don't you speak?! Do you have a cute little tree like me on your planet?! Let me tell you, oh, I only attained the Tao by absorbing immortal qi from West Kunlun......."
For a moment, the tree seemed to open a conversation box.
In the process of Chen Xian slowly planting it back, it "wrote" a six-thousand-word essay for everyone on the spot, and read it at a speed of three crosses in one second.
It is no exaggeration to say.
Chen Xian wanted to burn it.
Originally, Chen Xian's temperament was inclined to be quiet, and he personally liked a quiet atmosphere and hated noisy noise.
But now...... He began to get suspicious.
Could it be that the headquarters feels that their character is not good...... That's why you sent such a talkative tree to talk to yourself?
Aren't they afraid of my trauma?
Xiao Chen...... You understand our pain......." Huo Fat said with a desperate expression, "We're all tired to death these days...... If no one talks to it for more than half an hour, it will kill itself....... If we shut it up, it's going to kill itself...... Tied it up and threw it in the warehouse, and the leaves began to fall in less than ten minutes....... This is a living ancestor! ”
"How can you say that about me, Uncle Huo Fatty! I don't like you anymore! I'm going to scold you! I've learned a lot of curses from you humans over the years! Listen to me! You ......."
"Shut up."
After Chen Xian put the last handful of soil back, he directly pinched the trunk of the tree with his hand and said calmly.
"They don't dare to touch you because you are mine, but I am different, if you say another word, I will burn you as firewood, I have no shortage of you as a tree, and from now on I am not allowed to speak...... Do you understand? ”
The little tree was silent.
"Understood?" Chen Xian asked patiently.
"Didn't you let me speak?" Xiaoshu asked cautiously.
Chen Xian took a deep breath, and then showed a smile that was extremely kind, making people feel like a spring breeze at first glance.
"Xiao Lu, borrow your lighter and use it."
"I was wrong, I was wrong, I never spoke again! Don't burn me! Woo woo, I'm so pitiful, I was dug out of the mountains by you and burned by you! It's unreasonable!! ”
Hearing this headache-inducing cry, Chen Xian couldn't help frowning.
"Shut up."
"Oh oh good ......"
The little tree was silent for a minute.
The little tree was quiet for two minutes.
The little tree was subdued.
"It's finished." Chen Xian stood up, as if patting his subordinates on the shoulder, and gently patted its crown, "You will speak again if you are asked to speak in the future, understand?" ”
"Understood!" The little tree replied loudly.
At this moment, Huo Fatzi can be regarded as understanding, and he can see it better than Xiaoshu.
This is a grandson who sees the wind and steers the rudder.
Don't look at its childish voice, it seems to be innocent and indifferent, this grandson has too many eyes....... A few days ago, it was just because no one dared to touch it!
Chen Xian took a closer look at this strange tree, and there was some curiosity in his eyes.
"Do you have any advantages other than being able to talk and kill yourself...... If it's really not good, I'll send you back, there are a lot of people around me who talk a lot, and I can't stand one more of you. ”
"I'll bear fruit!"
Hearing this, Chen Xian became a little interested.
"Fruit? What fruit? ”
"It's my child, my fruit...... Don't don't burn me! I have all kinds of fruit! Some fruits can be eaten to give birth to and to death. Flesh and bones! Some fruits can become immortals immediately after eating! ”
Chen Xian's hand holding the lighter trembled, although the tree spoke in a somewhat strange tone, as if it was deliberately hiding something from itself, but what it said was ...... It's kind of amazing!
Can a fruit become an immortal after eating?
At this time, Huo Fatzi took out an unopened envelope from his pocket, walked to Chen Xian's side and handed it to him.
"Xiao Chen, this is a letter written to you by the Minister of Scientific Research, it seems to have something about this tree, you can see for yourself."
