Chapter Twenty-Three: When the Flowers Bloom and the Leaves Fall (Part II)

"Let go of me! Where are you taking me? ”

"Gagged her mouth on," said the man in the officer's hat rudely, "this guy is grunting and screaming to death." ”

You guys, are you still men if you're so rude to a girl? Feeling indignant, I rushed to the lawn where I had just been separated from Yirui.

"So, what about the 'Demon of Grass and Trees'?"

"In the back, he's already chasing him. He, he also cut off our water cannon. ”

"You two shit!"

A rogue captain who doesn't do things in person and can only command, and he also deserves to scold his team members for being waste? I'm going to show you right now, it's not just these two guys who are really rubbish, it's yours too!

"Let go of my Ere!"

I could feel my clenched left hand trembling violently.

"Hmm-" Eri-san's mouth was gagged by something, and she could only let out a muffled shout, but I could hear that she was calling my name.

"Yirui," I yelled with a trembling heart, "you guys, let her go!" ”

"Will I give you back the lamb that has arrived?" In the face of my anger, the man in the police officer's hat did not have the slightest fear, but laughed out loud, "Stinky boy, right away, you will be tied up here like your 'Yirui'!" Hahaha-"

You're mocking me......

When he said this, I couldn't hold my right hand anymore, and I quickly controlled the blades in front of me to attack the enemy near Yirui-san.

The person who controlled Yirui-san was knocked to the ground by a powerful force and let out a miserable scream, and Yirui-san took the opportunity to break free from the rope that had not been tightened by them, remove the towel from her mouth, and regain her freedom.

"Yirui-san, hurry up and run over!" I shouted at her.

"Damn......" he said through gritted teeth, "readyβ€”"

What else do you want to prepare?

"Anesthetia, attack from his rear!"

"Yujie, be careful of your back, it's a tranquilizer gun!"

Not? I've been concentrating all the blades in front of me to attack enemies in front of me, not noticing that the blades behind me have become thin. I turned my head sharply and saw that a small object had flown in front of me, but at this moment, the blades were still in the direction I had just reached out to attack, and in front of my eyes, there were only a few dead leaves, and there was no way to block this unsuspecting blow.

If you get shot, it's over......

I subconsciously covered my face and closed my eyes.

"Smack-"

I opened my eyes in astonishmentβ€”a pinch of rattan suddenly appeared in front of me, blocking it.

It was Yirui, who should have been her, who quickly grafted the rattan on the ground onto the rattan that was originally spinning around me, and with the momentum of centrifugal outward generated by the fact that this handful of rattan was attracted by me and was about to rotate around me at high speed, she blocked the needle impartially in time.

"Great!" Yirui shouted.

"It's over, the anesthetic needle has also blocked him!"

"Go on, you idiot! Let you aim at the point, the back of the people is exposed, and you still can't hit! The man in the officer's hat yelled, "Let me come!" ”

As he spoke, he snatched the instrument from the young man's hand, twisted his neck, and prepared to shoot at me.

Oh, eat a trench, grow a wisdom, the same mistake, it is impossible to make a second mistake in me. I lowered the intensity of my attacks and tried to keep the blades around me evenly spaced in front and back.

One, two, three...... The tranquilizer bullets he fired in a fit of rage were blocked by me one by one, and they landed on the ground. Soon, his anesthetic needles were all depleted, and he desperately pressed the trigger on me, but the tranquilizer gun in his hand only made a dry "crunching" sound.

"Damn!" He angrily threw the tranquilizer gun aside, "You idiots, you should have lost all the opportunities!" ”

"Captain, don't we still have ......"

"No way!" He turned around and roared angrily, "What we want is alive, and we still have to do research, you know!" ”

No high-pressure water guns, no anesthetic needles, see what tricks you can do. Still want to catch it alive? Protect yourselves first!

"Yujie," Yirui said to me from a distance, "hurry up and seize the opportunity." ”

"How many of you, have you made enough trouble?" I came up to them and said.

"Give me the stick you two just frought!"

This is too ridiculous, isn't it, just take the flesh and me head-on? Attacking my shield with a stick would also result in the loss of my shield, with this speed and range, I could almost effortlessly knock them all to the ground.

I expertly controlled the movement of the blades with my right hand, easily fending off their charge after charge.

Seeing that fewer and fewer people rushed forward, I pretended to mock and said, "Go on! ”

"You wait for me!"

A man in an officer's hat rushed up with a stick.

"Do you want to try it again?"

"Ahh

I just waved my right hand slightly, and he was slammed back in the path he had rushed into, and he fell heavily to the ground.

"No......" he gritted his teeth, looking in pain. How many of you...... Quick, get back to the car......"

"Captain, are you alright?"

"Run......

The weak, hoarse voice sounded full of pain and despair.

"Want to run?"

I continued to wave my right hand, constantly blocking their escape routes.

"Hahahahaha-"

I didn't know what was wrong, so I just looked up to the sky and laughed.

"I'm the 'Demon of Grass and Trees'! What a research institute, what an executive staff, you caught me! Is that all you can do? ”

The executives who fled from the desert were frantically struck by the blades under my control, and the situation was very embarrassing.

"That's enough, Yujie......"

"Huh?" Why did Eri-san stop me?

"We're just trying to protect this garden...... "Ire-san" Eri-san walked towards me, "If you hurt them like this, what's the difference between that and what they define as a 'demon of plants'?" How is it different from what they have done against us in such illegal and violent ways? Just listen to me and let them go......"

"Eri ......"

"Yujie, have you forgotten, you once said that even if you have supernatural abilities, you will not use them to hurt others." She shook her head and said pleadingly.

I gradually relaxed my left hand, and my slightly suspended body fell back to the ground.

"That's right......"

"Hurry up, if he catches up, we'll all be finished!"

In the distance, the few remaining executive officers were still fleeing in confusion, and they all got into the black cars parked on the side of the road, ready to drive away.

"Let them go, I think it's better to leave these things to the real people and the police, we can't fight back with the same illegal and violent means just because we want to protect our garden!" Yirui gently shook my trembling hand and whispered in my ear.

"Iree, did they hurt you?"

"With you, how could they hurt me?" She whispered.

"That's good......"

"It's just this ......garden," her voice trembled, "the lawn ......," she said, turning her head and running towards the lawn that had been set on fire by the executive of the "Institute" in the first place.

"Wait!" I called, "Irry! ”

I ran after her.

The fire that had burned just now had been extinguished, leaving only a patch of charcoal-black ash on the originally dark green lawn, emitting the last trace of heat in the harsh winter air.

"Here, how can this be......" Yirui-san, slowed down her pace and slowly walked towards the ash in front of her.

"I...... "I followed her, and I stopped talking.

Yi Rui squatted down and picked up a pinch of black ash with her white hands.

"It's all gone...... she said sadly, choking up, "we're still too late, and such a large lawn has been burned to ashes......

"Iree," I crouched down beside her, whispering to her, "don't be upset...... Didn't we, drive away the evil executives, protect the seedlings we planted with our own hands, and protect everything else in this garden? ”

"But here," she bowed her head, and shrunk her face into her scarf, "such a vast grassland, and there will be no more to say no like that...... Look at what's left here now, what else is there besides the charred black wreckage? Everything here has been mutilated by them......"

Tears, dripping from her cheeks, dripping on the charcoal-black, lifeless earth, crystal clear, were soon drowned in endless blackness.

"Yirui, why are you crying......"

"......" She just lowered her head and cried, and did not answer me.

I gently helped Yirui to stand up and dusted off her long skirt.

"It's all my fault," I comforted her and said, "When I came, I shouldn't have left you to find Zhendong, and as a result, this kid couldn't even see a figure......

"Huh?" She muttered vaguely.

"Next time, if Zhendong is caught by us, we will punish him to replant this lawn for us, okay?"

"Hey," she said with a smile at me, but immediately resumed crying, "Really, no kidding......"

I stepped forward and slowly hugged her. Just like the last time she hugged me and leaned on my shoulder, I felt that my shoulder should be able to give her some support and make her a little more comfortable.

"Fool......" she said as she stretched out her sleeve to wipe her tears, choked up.

This is the first time in my life that I have reached out and hugged a girl.

Yirui, you have to believe me, I really just want you to be a little more comfortable, I really have no malice in doing this, you have to believe me......

I reached out my left hand and pulled a few tissues out of my trouser pocket to wipe her tears.

"Wait a minute, your golden leaf!"

She immediately broke free from my arm and bent down to pick up the golden leaf.

"Really, you put it away!" She said to me, "If this leaf is lost, how can you protect yourself?" ”

She held the gold leaf tightly with both hands and carefully handed it to me, for fear that the gold leaf would fall off from her hand again and fall to the ground.

"Well, I'll pay attention next time......"

I reached out my left hand to take her gold leaf. At that moment, there was a small sound of "squirming" around me.

"Huh?" Yirui-san suddenly screamed in surprise.

"What's wrong?"

"Look...... Look here. ”

I looked in the direction of her gazeβ€”

The lawn, which had just turned to ashes and lost its life, slowly turned green again, and these hopeless wreckage gradually disappeared, and in its place, new grass slowly emerged from the ground.

"What's going on?" I subconsciously took two steps back.

"Huh?" Yirui was also frightened and froze in place, and stopped sobbing all of a sudden. She stared blankly at the incredible scene in front of her, her hands still maintaining the same movement that she was about to hand me the gold leaf.

"Is it," I said, looking at her clenched hands, as I slowly walked towards her, "this golden leaf?" Are you using this golden leaf to make this grass grow green again? ”

"Ah......" Before she could react, she continued to look forward.

Hopeful greens gradually replaced heartbreaking blacks, and gradually, the entire lawn regained the dark green we had when we arrived at the school.

"Ahh......h What's going on? ”

I looked at her hands that were still clenched, and my heart was more certain, and I said, "This golden leaf, this golden leaf, you are using it to make this land grow new grass!" ”

She looked at me, looked down at her hands, then looked up at me again, and asked blankly, "Is this, really?" ”

"Hmmm......"

The corners of her mouth rose slightly, and she suddenly took my hand and ran deeper into the garden.

"Wait," I almost stumbled, "what are you going to do!" ”

"Go see the flowers we planted!"

Oh my God, this girl doesn't want to try to see if she can make these flowers bloom suddenly!

"You've got it!" The sad look on her face disappeared in an instant, "I'll give it a try now......"

She folded her hands back together, and the gold leaf was tightly held in the palm of her hand, then lowered her head slightly, and slowly closed her eyes.

Flowers, are they about to bloom?

One, two, three......

She lifted her head and opened her eyes.

Right in front of me, the original light green flower seedlings rose rapidly, and at the same time new green leaves grew on both sides, and as the branches continued to rise, at the top, slowly grew pansy flowers like butterflies.

"Ha," she turned to me, "and it worked! ”

"It's, it'...... really"

Pansies actually emerged from the branches in such a cold winter, like butterflies that came in an instant, yellow-edged red-hearted, purple-edged yellow-hearted, white-edged purple-hearted, pansies of various colors neatly presented a rectangular pattern, just like that, incredibly, overgrown this circle of land.

"Don't say it, this kid from Zhendong really cares," I looked at the suddenly blooming flower and exclaimed, "Even the color of each pansy has been planned." ”

"Yes, this one is so beautiful......"

"That's right."

"Huh?" Yirui looked up at me and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"This is what Aunt Lu and the gardener mentioned about the supernatural ability that can make flowers bloom in an instant!" I said.

"Maybe......" she said with a smile, "maybe, it's a supernatural ability that can make any life grow quickly!" ”

"Except for Animals......"

"Oh, you know what I mean!" Yirui patted me on the shoulder in disgust.

Finally, I saw Yirui's sweet smile again. The lost lawn and the sudden supernatural ability made Yirui-san smile again. Sure enough, Yirui's classmate is still as happy as before; Sure enough, Yirui-san is still the girl who loves to laugh.

"Don't get too happy!"

A sudden familiar voice behind me shattered my reverie.

"Zhang Yu?" Yirui asked, "Why are you here?" ”

"I want to ask, why are you here?" Zhang Yan said with a fierce look, "Have you thought about it?" Was I sent to the graduate school, and then win-win? ”

When is it? Still thinking about the "Research Institute"?

"Please, sober up!" Yirui stepped forward and said, "The people of the research institute have been beaten away by us, and the research institute is about to collapse-close-"

"What are you kidding......

Zhang Yu shook his head, looking incredulous.

"I said, the people in the research institute have been beaten away by us, and besides, they are an illegal organization, impersonating the police, and illegally using offensive weapons," Yi Rui said solemnly again, "Look at the reality clearly, such an organization will be severely punished immediately." ”

Zhang Yu still looked puzzled, spread his hands, and said, "What are you all kidding?" What kind of illegal organization can it be? ”

"Didn't you see the vehicle that ran away?"

"What vehicle?" He looked a little impatient, "Don't talk nonsense to me here!" I tell you, don't bother me with me! ”

"Recognize the reality, Zhang Yu......" I said.

He suddenly had a hideous face, thinking that the two of us rushed over.

I went up and told Irie to hide behind me, and then scuffled with him.

"Zhang Yu!" Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind us.

Zhang Yu turned around in response and shouted, "Captain Xu! Why are you ...... here?"

"Be careful, he'll control the fallen leaves around you to attack you!"

"I've got his hands in check, come up and grab him!"

It's over, and I actually forgot about the man with the police officer's hat. I've been forgetting about him since I knocked him to the ground, and I have the impression that he must have been dragged into the car by his teammates and fled with him.

"Let me tell you, I have your good juice to eat today......" I was entangled with Zhang Yu, but he still had time to talk cruelly to me.

"Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-"

From the school gate, there was the sound of a siren.

"It's over, who called the police!" The man with the officer's hat took it off and threw it on the lawn angrily, screaming angrily.

"Huh?" Zhang Yu looked at the scene in front of him and was stunned.

The man took off his coat, then took something black from his waist, slowly lifted it up, and pointed it at me.

"You don't want to have good fruit to eat!" He yelled at me.

"Yujie," Yirui shouted, "it's a gun!" ”

Yes......

Time seemed to slow down before me......

He slowly pulled the trigger towards me and Zhang Fang, who were entangled.

"Bang-"

Finished......

I pushed Zhang Yan away from me with all my might.

"Pss

With a crisp popping sound, I was hit by the tiny metal and fell to the ground hard.

"Put down your guns and raise your hands!"

I clutched the place on my chest that suddenly felt empty, and I don't know if it was because I had fallen to the ground and my head was hit violently, and everything I could hear and see began to blur gradually......

"Put down your guns and raise your hands!"

This is the voice of the people's police, that's right.

"Yujie!" Yi Rui tore her throat and called my name.

"Yujie!"

In my blurred vision, she appeared again.

Drops of cold water were dripping down my neck, and I wanted to shiver, but I think I was about to lose consciousness by now.

"How do you ...... I'm crying again......" I said with difficulty, "Good ice, your tears, good ice ......"

"Yujie!"

This is definitely the voice of Zhendong.

"Where have you been......" Let me use one last reproachful tone.

"I saw that something was wrong, so I went to the police, oh yes, and called an ambulance......"

"Oh......" I turned my head, "why are you crying...... Cry, you big man...... There's nothing to shed a tear......"

"You hold on," Zhen Dong in the line of sight looked at me anxiously, and said tremblingly, "Coat, stop the bleeding, quickly, take it to stop the bleeding......"

Only then did I feel that there seemed to be some hot liquid in my chest, spraying outward.

"Handcuff him!"

"Zhao Yujie's ......"

This is Zhang Yu, this sounds a little unpleasant, even if it is so vague, I can clearly distinguish it. It seems that Zhang Yu is fine, that's good, that's good......

The voices I could hear became more and more blurred, and the sight of Yirui and Zhendong slowly turned into darkness......

"This way, the ambulance ......"

Zhendong's loud voice also began to become blurred.

I could feel as if my body had been lifted up and placed in some soft place.

"Debridement Pack, Oxygen, Fast ......"

This is the last sound I can hear.

Before my eyes, it was completely dark.

Me, am I dead?
