"Could it be that the big tree was there when the office building was built, so it was never cut down?"

I asked, and Shen Li shook his head.

"No way, this is not a courtyard, this is a skyscraper, and the foundation must be stable.

So at the beginning of construction, even if there is such a big tree here, it will definitely be removed, otherwise how to lay the foundation? ”

"Could it be that this tree was planted in this room after the office building was built?"

I asked again, but Shen Li still shook his head.

"Didn't I say that such a big tree is at least two or three hundred years old."

"What if it is like a dealer who raises raw fish and uses a fertilizer agent to fatten the raw catch, and the person who planted the tree also applied some kind of growth agent to the tree? So there is a stink in this room. ”

After I finished speaking this time, Shen Li was silent for a long time before nodding slightly.

I also know that although my statement is outrageous, it may be the only explanation for the growth of this big tree in this office building.

In this way, he approached with a powerful flashlight, followed the trunk of the big tree, and shone on the top of the big tree.

The trunk of this big tree, since it is so thick, must the shade of this tree break through the floor of the upper floor?

However, it didn't.

With the light of the powerful flashlight, I only saw that the top of the trunk of the big tree was not straight, but curved......

Yes, four meters above the trunk of the big tree, it bent in its entirety, not towards the ceiling, but towards the depths of this dark space, like a bridge.

Shen Li and I glanced at each other and walked along the curved tree until I saw the whole picture of the tree, and I couldn't help frowning.

Because in this dark space, there is no shade of a big tree, not even branches, and only the trunk of a big tree from beginning to end.

Why?

Because the other end of this crooked tree was buried directly in the wall of the space!

Yes!

The tree grew out of the flower bed, bent and grew deep into the space, breaking through the walls of the space, leaving only a thick trunk in this space.

In other words, the shade of this big tree grows next door to this space......

Of course, this is the Ginza office building, and no matter how big the tree space is, it is only one room, but next door to this room, what is the place?

Perhaps with the same question, Shen and I went to the wall where the tree was buried.

It's just that although the big tree broke through the inner wall of this space, it was as if it was integrated with the wall, and there was no gap at all, so I couldn't see the scene behind the wall.

I put my ear to the wall, and for a moment, I noticed a faint sound coming from the other side of the wall, although I couldn't hear it very clearly, but I was sure that it should be a mixed human voice......

My heart moved, and Shen Li, who was also on the wall with his ears close to him, also nodded to me, and followed us along the wall, shining a powerful flashlight.

However, we searched the entire wall of the room, and we couldn't find a door on any of the walls that led to the next room.

"It's the secret ......"

Back beside the big tree, Shen Li looked at me.

"Next door to this room may be the place where the secret passage of the teahouse closet leads, so there will be such a complicated human voice, because there are so many teas poured in the teahouse, there will definitely be no fewer people entering the secret passage."

I nodded, curious.

Where does the secret passage of the teahouse wardrobe lead? It's a Taoist priest again, and it's a big tree buried deep in it......

Without waiting for me to think about it, Shen Li patted me on the shoulder and beckoned me to go back.

I nodded and turned around, but I didn't want to, and I didn't pay attention, and crashed into the trunk of the big tree buried in the wall next to me.

Although it wasn't heavy, I couldn't help frowning at this impact.

Because I found that the skin of this big tree was very cold.

Yes, it's very cold, or it's cold, just like when I'm in a detective agency, hugging the back of 'Tan Ling' who shows his true face......

"What's wrong?"

Shen Li turned his head.

"Something is wrong with this tree."

I replied, Shen Li also reached out and touched the surface of the tree, and after a slight pause, he frowned and withdrew his hand.

"The temperature of the tree depends on the influence of the environment, the temperature in this room is not low, this tree, it shouldn't be so cold......"

After speaking, Shen Li raised his eyebrows as if he thought of something.

"By the way, Jiang Wangsheng, the yin flags and blinding methods outside should not be just to hide this big tree, right?

No matter how incredible this big tree is, at most it is illegal, can it be hidden by a shadow banner and a blinding method? ”

I was stunned for a moment, Shen Li had already turned on a powerful flashlight, along the trunk of the big tree, and shone on the source of the big tree, that is, the round flower bed.

I also turned on the flashlight to approach the flower bed, but found that with my approach, the inexplicable chill in my heart became more and more cold.

Taking a deep breath, he forcibly suppressed the cold, and together with Shen Li, he shone the flashlight on all parts of the flower bed.

In the flower beds, except for the vertical and horizontal roots of the large trees, there is only a patch of black-brown soil.

It's just that there is a strong and unpleasant smell in the dirt, which is exactly the same smell we smelled when we first entered this room.

It seems that the soil in this flower bed was really as I speculated, and some fertilizer was applied to promote growth, so that this big tree was able to grow so tall in the decades after the Ginza office building was built.

"Nothing, let's go to the secret door of the closet in the teahouse next door."

I shook my head and looked at Shen Li, only to find that Shen Li's entire wood was beside me.

Yes, Shen Li was playing a powerful flashlight, and the whole wood was beside me, and his eyes widened on a face that was originally calm......

I couldn't help but chuckle in my heart, Shen Li was obviously shocked, and what could make Shen Li shocked......

He took a deep breath and looked in the direction of Shen Li's flashlight, only to find that what Shen Li's flashlight was shining on was the roots of the big tree on the surface.

It's just that when I took a closer look at the roots of the tree, my heart suddenly shook.

For I only saw a pair of gray eyes staring at us in the roots of the trees!

Yes! A pair of gray eyes staring at us! It's in the middle of the roots of the tree!

I stumbled on my feet and almost fell to the ground, but a strong hand grabbed me by the shoulders and made me stand firm.

"What's the panic? It's dead. ”

Of course it was Shen Li, and after saying a word in a deep voice, he stepped directly into the flower bed and went to the root of the tree with gray pupils.

I took a deep breath to suppress my fright, and Shen Li pushed away the roots of the tree next to the gray pupils, and I saw that the gray pupils were actually a head with dirt emerging from the cracks in the roots of the tree......

Yes, a head, a child's head with wrinkled skin......

"Jiang Wangsheng, it seems that this is what you said about the 'growth agent'......"

Shen Li muttered, and I glared even more.

Because Shen Li's meaning is obvious, this child's corpse is the reason why this big tree can reach the sky for decades, and if this is the case, then this big tree can grow so big, as a 'nutrient' child, there must be more than one......

Frightened, Shen Li had already dug up in the flower bed with her bare hands, and I was a little hesitant to help, but after digging a few times, she pulled out a long strip of gray-white hard object from the soil.

I lit a flashlight and saw that it was a white bone......

Yes! A white bone! A child's bones!

My scalp was completely numb, and with Shen Li's excavation, more white bones were dug out.

Ribs, arms, thigh bones, skulls......

One by one, one by one, as Shen Li placed them, they were piled together in the flower beds, and in a short time they were higher than my waist......

Fuck ......

How many children's bones are buried in this flower bed?

What kind of tree is this towering tree?

And what kind of demon is the person who planted this tree!

The horror in her heart was surging, and Shen Li had already stopped, and she had only dug up less than a tenth of the soil in this flower bed, and she had already dug up this pile of children's bones.

"Jiang Wangsheng, you are right, this big tree really uses a 'growth booster'.

The bones of these children are almost all entwined by the roots of the tree, and when the children are not white bones, but still have flesh, the roots of the tree enter their bodies and absorb nutrients for the whole tree. ”

After Shen Li finished speaking, he hugged the last child corpse that was dug up, which was the corpse of the child that was emerging from the soil under the roots of the tree and glaring at us with gray eyes.

And the child's corpse has not turned into white bones, but its whole body has been dried and is in the shape of a dry corpse.

"This child should be the one who 'fertilized', the 'growth agent' who was recently buried in this flower bed."

After Shen Li finished speaking, he put the child's dried corpse next to the white bones, but I saw in a daze that the child's dried corpse was wearing a silver bracelet on one wrist......

I sighed in my heart, and took a closer look with a chill, only to see that the silver bracelet worn by this child's dry corpse was engraved with the word 'Rui'......

If there is Rui, of course, there will be auspiciousness, and auspiciousness ......

I almost shuddered and took out the silver bracelet engraved with the word 'auspicious' that I picked up when I saw the figure of a child in the shade outside.

The exact same style, both in texture and in its carving and shape, is exactly the same.

'Xiang', 'Rui', this is a pair of rings......

I gasped, looked at the wide gray pupils on the child's face, thought of the child's figure I saw under the banner before, and then thought of Jiang Yunliu's answer when I asked Jiang Yunliu how to get out of the room of the banner.

"I don't need to tell you, someone will tell you......"

Of course, I understand what Jiang Yunliu means now.

If it weren't for the figure of the child next to the banner, we wouldn't have discovered the curtain to enter the room of the tree, and perhaps we would have wasted more time in the room of the banner.

In other words, the one who told us how to get out of the room and how to get to the room of the big tree was the figure of the child.

And since the silver bracelet of the child's figure is a pair of the child's corpse, then the child's figure and the child's corpse at this time should be the same person.

That is, it was he, who took us with him, and found his body......
