Everyone: The Start Has Changed, I Am The Chosen One!
Chapter 56 Jump Off The Butterfly And Act Bravely
The day before school started, Liu Xue asked Noah for a leave.
After all, he didn't know when he would be able to come back after leaving. He needed to take care of things in the human world before he could rest assured.
Since the logistics became smoother, although prices still fluctuate a bit, generally speaking, you won’t encounter sky-high prices when buying things.
Although power is still limited every day, daily life is not affected by this.
Liu Xuetun packed some daily necessities and delivered them to the compound. Seeing that his younger brother was there, he first paid everyone several months' wages, and then told them to behave well during his business trip.
The hospital has also returned to normal, and patients admitted to the hospital are no longer struggling to find beds like before.
Liu Xue deliberately made more medicines to prevent the dean from taking the opportunity to talk to Aunt Chen every now and then.
Xiaobai and Xiaohuang lived well at the police station, and the nearby residents also praised them.
Before going home, Liu Xue went out to eat his favorite boiled meat. What seemed like a perfect day turned out to be unexpected on the way home.
In front of the intersection, Liu Xuezheng was riding a shared insect waiting for the light to change.
At this time, a man wearing a mask rushed out from nowhere, reached out and grabbed the bag of an orc woman.
Since the schoolbag was slung on the side, the thief did not pull it off for a moment, but actually dragged the orc for a while.
Upon seeing this, Liu Xue jumped off the butterfly and immediately chased it.
He sprinted and stood in front of the thief.
When the thief saw a strange man suddenly appeared in front of him, he was stunned for a moment, then he pulled out a fruit knife and was about to stab him.
Since we were at an intersection, there were some cars that didn't care at first and were ready to drive on as usual.
But when they saw that the thief had changed from robbing to stabbing someone, they all stopped the car.
The intersection was blocked, and the onlookers did not dare to step forward.
A traffic policeman came over immediately upon seeing this, and Liu Xue hurriedly told him to be careful with the knife.
The thief initially threatened with a knife, but he was mumbling and no one around him could understand what he was saying.
Seeing that no one understood him, the thief roared and stabbed with the knife. Liu Xue saw that the man was not in a good state. The man's eyes were bloodshot and the area around his nostrils was dark.
Liu Xue first dodged the opponent's attack, and when the distance was closed, he deliberately focused his attention.
It's not that I was wrong, this person seemed to be poisoned.
Time passed again, and Liu Xue raised his hand and struck at the opponent's wrist.
The knife fell to the ground and the thief's wrist was broken.
After Liu Xuexin finished speaking, he clearly remembered that he had restrained his strength when he struck. Could it be that he had been trained too much?
The orc was dragged until she was covered in blood. She lay on her side on the road, her eyes wide open and trembling.
The police arrived quickly. They first sent the thief and the orc to the hospital. When they tried to find Liu Xue, they found that they had already run away.
Of course Liu Xue couldn't stay too long, he had to go to the Xianling Hall tomorrow!
It has been many years since I graduated, but it feels a bit strange to think that I am suddenly anxious to go home because school starts tomorrow.
The first thing Liu Xue did when he got home was to surf the Internet. Noah saw that he was holding a mobile phone and leaned his head over.
Fortunately, the onlookers were relatively far away at that time, and no one took a picture of Liu Xue's face.
"Going to do good deeds again?" Noah said.
"I happened to bump into him while waiting at the traffic light, and he helped me." Liu Xue scrolled down and quickly found a piece of related news.
He clicked in, and the content happened to be the follow-up report about the knife robbery.
Reporters said the knife wielder was a patient suffering from mental illness. He lost control of his job due to unemployment on the day of the incident, causing harm to innocent passers-by.
Fortunately, the person who was dragged only suffered superficial injuries, while the knife-wielder suffered a comminuted fracture of his arm.
Liu Xue slowly scrolled down the comment area.
The atmosphere in the comment area is quite unanimous. Most people believe that mental illness is not to blame, and that those who hurt others are guilty and must undergo forensic evaluation.
Others feel that the social atmosphere after the anomaly was indeed not very good. It was difficult to find a job in the first place, and now some positions are still occupied by foreigners.
This article has the most people discussing it. Some people think that the inability to find a job is not just a problem of visions. Why not mention that there are still many people missing due to visions and job vacancies?
There are also some people who feel that society needs to take responsibility and provide more employment opportunities for everyone.
These were not what Liu Xue was looking for, so he continued to scroll down.
Some people say that medals should be given to those who act bravely, while others say that breaking someone's hand was an act of self-defense.
One of them was probably from the same race as the victim. He said that he knew this orc. He was a front desk clerk in their company. His monthly salary was pitiful. He went home to change clothes when he went out that day. In fact, he only had a few old clothes in his bag. .
At the end of the comment area, Liu Xue finally found the message he hoped to see.
‘Is this thing related to the ghost howling roots? The thief looked wrong to me. ’
Howling roots? Liu Xue remembered these three keywords, opened the search engine and started looking.
Seeing his frown and serious expression, Noah thought he was wanted, "What's wrong? The police are looking for you, right? If you miss the start of school, you have to wait for another term."
"No, I'm looking for ghost howling roots."
"Ghostly Howling Root?"
Seeing that Noah seemed to recognize him, Liu Xue asked.
"You know this stuff?"
"I know, I know, but it's impossible for this thing to survive in the human world."
Ghost howls originate from the underworld, where there is no sunlight all year round and the temperature is around minus 50°C all year round. Strictly speaking, the howling root is not a plant. It is an organism that looks like moss and fungi.
This kind of creature will die once it encounters sunlight. The advantage is that it reproduces very quickly. The disadvantage is that it has high requirements for air, water and temperature.
"The flower fertilizer I use in the God Realm contains ghostly howling roots. Mixing a small amount of this stuff into the fertilizer helps promote plant rooting and germination, making the root system grow thicker and larger."
Why does it sound weird?
"What about the amount? Or what if I accidentally swallowed it?" Liu Xue said, "I saw that the area around the man's nostrils was dark, and his eyeballs were very bloodshot."
"I really don't know about accidental ingestion. After all, no one would eat flower fertilizer," Noah said, "Anyway, school starts tomorrow, so you can go to the library and check it out."
It makes sense. Now it seems that as long as the symptoms are matched, there is a high probability that the person's madness is really related to the ghost howling roots.
After that, Liu Xue looked for some explanations about the roots of ghost howling, but most of them were weird chatter, and not a few were actually mentioned.
When he went to look for the comment under the news item, he found that the comment was no longer there.
Liu Xue closed the page and first made a call to his younger brothers. This group of younger brothers had been in society all year round and had the widest range of intelligence.
Then he asked Noah to add a roaming function to his mobile phone. After all, he would not be able to come back from living on campus for a while, and he couldn't accumulate everything until he was on vacation.
Finally, he packed up the equipment for tomorrow's trip. After everything was settled, he closed his eyes with peace of mind.
