Disaster Is Coming: Sequence Detective

In a square about the size of a basketball court.

A large tree more than ten meters high grew out of the flat concrete ground. The tree was black, with no leaves, only branches. But what frightened Xu Nian was not the tree growing out of the concrete ground, but the tree growing out of the cement ground. There were cats hanging from the branches of this tree that had been dead for who knows how long.

All are black cats.

What's even weirder is that there are twelve wooden chairs evenly placed in a circle around the tree. There is nothing on the wooden chairs. They remain motionless no matter how strong the wind blows around them, as if there are some invisible beings sitting on them. Same.

Xu Nian finally breathed a sigh of relief, and extended his spiritual perception. The chair was empty, with nothing there. There was no invisible spirit sitting there.

After a moment of silence, his eyes focused on the corpses of black cats hanging by their necks on the branches, as if they had "hanged themselves".

Woo!

Suddenly, a cold sigh sounded in the air, and the surrounding breeze whistled like a knife.

The branches of the black tree swayed inexplicably, and the black cat corpses swayed from side to side as if catering to the sound.

The branches creaked and made a heart-stopping friction sound.

The black cat's head suddenly raised.

The furry face and gray vertical pupils flickered like light bulbs in the dark night.

Especially the small mouth, which was split into a crescent-like arc on both sides, and the two teeth slowly stretched out, extending to the size of a human finger.

Although they didn't make any sound, Xu Nian felt that the cats were laughing, and waves of wild laughter kept echoing in his mind.

"This is."

Xu Nian's pupils shrank, as if a bombshell had been dropped on his calm mind, and he was keenly aware of a cold mental fluctuation.

The source of the mental fluctuations does not come from the black cats hanging on this black tree, nor from this weird black tree, but from

"There's something in the tree."

I don't know when, the shadow of Fuxing was already standing beside me.

Manzhu curled her lips and sat on the stone pier in the distance, shaking her white and tender feet.

Xu Nian took a deep breath and nodded solemnly: "I can feel it. The mental fluctuation is not strong, but it is a little strange."

"That's right, weird."

"Um?"

Xu Nian looked at Fuxing's shadow strangely.

Fu Xingzhiying said calmly: "There is a creature called the Wood Fungus Turtle in the City of Aiden. Its body is pure black and about half a meter long. It looks like a turtle with wings, except that it The wings on its back are made of a material similar to the material of trees, so it looks weird. When it is dormant, the wings will extend out of the trunk and eventually wrap it up and turn it into a black tree. So when we get to the city of Aiden, you must Be careful of those inconspicuous black trees in the city."

Xu Nian frowned and said in a deep voice: "Is it dangerous?"

"Well, it's a little tricky when you wake up, but there's no danger when you're sleeping. It's just that the body will emit a special magnetic field. Not to mention the mobile phone signal, even the soul of the dead creature will be trapped in the magnetic field, and will be trapped in the magnetic field. Slowly absorbed by the magnetic field."

Fu Xingzhiying touched his chin in confusion: "It's strange! Even if the people of the Black Rose Group discovered this wood fungus turtle, they wouldn't just rush into the wilderness regardless of it? The most correct thing for them to do is not to immediately Report back to the city wall?”

"You're right."

Manzhu walked over with solemn eyes: "Besides, these cat corpses and these weirdly placed chairs, don't you think this scene looks familiar?"

Fu Xingzhi Ying was stunned for a moment, and then seemed to think of something. He took a breath of air and said, "Round Table Palace?"

Xu Nian was startled and looked at him doubtfully.

A rare heavy expression appeared on Manzhu's face: "Although the things are different, the position of the chairs and the hanging corpses surrounding them are really similar."

Xu Nian was confused when he heard this, and felt itchy in his heart, so he couldn't help but said: "What riddles are you playing? What is the Round Table Hall?"

Fu Xingzhiying glanced at Xu Nian and said in a deep voice: "The Round Table Hall is a mysterious place in the city of Aiden. There is a twelve-sided, five-meter-high stone pillar inside, and on each side hangs a long-dead person. There are mummy knights, and there is a golden chair placed directly in front of each side, evenly distributed, and the specific layout is very similar to the one in front of you. "

Xu Nian took a breath of air and asked: "Is there such a strange place? Moreover, you call it the Palace of the Round Table. Could it be that those dead knights were the Twelve Knights of the Round Table?"

"Who knows."

Fu Xingzhiying shook his head, and the black scarf on his head didn't move at all. Xu Nian, who had always been curious about Fu Xingzhiying's appearance, wanted to tear the scarf off the other person's face.

At this time, Manzhu frowned slightly: "What are you going to do now? I said ugly words before, the fungus turtle is easy to deal with, but this scene is too similar to the Round Table Palace, plus the mysterious disappearance of the Black Rose Group, I think I’m afraid this matter is not simple.”

Fu Xingzhiying didn't speak, and seemed to be lost in thought.

Xu Nian said angrily: "Mr. Minister, didn't you say you could help us deal with some troubles? Now is the time for you to show off your skills."

Manzhu rolled her eyes: "My ability is only for those intelligent creatures, like the wood fungus turtle. I'm sorry, you'd better be lucky that it doesn't wake up."

Xu Nian frowned: "What do you mean?"

"Hehe!" Manzhu glanced at the red spider lily on Xu Nian's wrist, "Have you forgotten what I said?"

Xu Nian was stunned, followed the other party's gaze to look at his wrist, and when he saw the mark of the red spider lily, his face suddenly became ugly and said: "Damn, can't even this wood fungus turtle stand this mark?"

"What else?" Manzhu chuckled and said meaningfully: "Of course, if you are willing to sacrifice yourself, it can also be regarded as an option to deal with this alien creature."

Xu Nian was stunned at first, and the next moment he immediately understood that Manzhu meant to let him be the bait to lure away the wood fungus turtle, and he couldn't help but stare at her angrily.

"Okay, stop arguing, I am the captain of this mission, everything is up to me, we will set off immediately, and don't have to pay attention to this wood fungus turtle."

Fuxing Zhiying said solemnly.

Manzhu smiled slightly, as if she had known that Fuxing Zhiying would make such a decision.

Xu Nian frowned, "Is this okay? If something goes wrong, and there is no defense inside the city wall, I'm afraid..." "Don't worry." Fu Xingzhiying waved his hand, "You have read the mission information, and you should understand the importance of our trip." "As for the wood mushroom turtle, with the young lady and the courtyard in charge, there will be no problem." Xu Nian's mind suddenly appeared with the mysterious young lady, and he nodded subconsciously: "That's right, with the young lady here, it should be fine."
