Hidden Corners

In Naxi Town, inside a seafood restaurant.

The three members of the ethics committee were eating simple meals with blank expressions.

Old man Barton, a man and a woman, Engel and two deputies, Karan, are all the people sent by the committee to investigate the Yongge Club.

In fact, although the Ethics Committee is large and famous, its strength relies entirely on temporary support from various countries.

The stronger the support, the stronger the committee. If the support is weak, the strength will be weak.

In this large organization similar to the United Nations, most countries only send some people to be permanent residents on a regular basis. In many cases, it is just to borrow a name and facilitate operations, nothing more.

Therefore, the Ethics Committee sometimes suddenly does some earth-shattering things, but most of the time it remains unknown, relying on the participation of many ambitious people with ideals in their hearts to maintain it.

"Well, last month's salary was 10% less than before."

Karan, who was eating scallops and was the only woman among the three, was chewing the meat in his mouth with a dull expression and a weak voice.

"Don't worry, there will be less this month." Commissioner Barton touched the bald spot on his head. He would habitually touch it every time he ate, so that the meal would feel more satisfying.

The salary is not high, and I have to constantly travel at my own expense. This life is really difficult.

Look at the three of them. How long has it been since they changed into work clothes and suits? Three years or five years?

People like them who often travel on business trips and fight with people on the front line can't even bear to change their work clothes and mend them for three years.

"The Yongge Club is just a formality anyway. We're almost done, right?" The remaining man, Engel, was drinking hand cream-flavored vegetable soup with a look of despair on his face.

"Well, it's almost time. We'll go back in the evening and the committee's boat will pick us up in the evening." Barton said.

"What about the cost?"

"It's free this time."

"Huh? It's free this time? Are those stingy people in the party so generous for once?" Engel was surprised.

"Well, it was said that a sponsor gave us free funds for the event, but we were asked to stop by their chain seafood market on the way back to attend the anniversary celebration." Barton replied.

".well."

Engel and Karan were speechless and could only sigh.

When they first joined the committee many years ago, they were good kids who were full of passion and wanted to maintain world peace.

Five years have passed, and the two of them have reached twenty-six and seven, and their original enthusiasm has long since cooled down.

Now we are faced with the problems of getting married, having children, supporting our parents in old age, saving for medical insurance and pensions, and providing education funds for our children in the future.

"Karan, the mortgage is about to expire this month. I don't have much money. You know, I have to send some tuition and living expenses to my sister every month." Engel looked at his partner Karan.

"No money."

"I'll just borrow two thousand, and I'll pay you back as soon as my salary comes next month!" Engel said sincerely.

"You said the same thing last time." Karan was unmoved.

"Um, are you from the ethics committee?" Suddenly, a beautiful girl with a pitiful appearance and long blue-purple hair hanging around her shoulders asked.

The girl is very beautiful, wearing a light purple dress and a light-blocking white straw hat. Her big eyes are watery, like a timid deer in the forest.

"Ah, yes, madam, do you need any help?" Engel quickly showed a friendly smile on his face and looked at the other party.

"That's right." The girl with long blue-purple hair lowered her voice, "I heard you chatting just now, and you came to the Yonge Club on the island, so... I have some information about the Yongge Club here."

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the three of them suddenly froze.

They are just here to go through the motions! ?

But I quickly changed my mind and thought, if there are any clues, I might be able to get a large bonus if I go back this time.

"Are you sure?!" As the leader of the team, Barton's expression quickly became serious and he looked at the girl.

"Yes. I'm 100% sure!" The girl with long blue-purple hair nodded vigorously.

"So, can you tell me your name?"

"My name is Yang Chengxi." The girl answered quickly.

She was the pirate leader who attacked the cruise ship and was wiped out by the Heini brothers and sisters. Although she was saved by Chen Jiahan, she still feared and hated the Heini brothers and sisters.

I originally planned to leave the island this time, but I happened to hear the three people chatting here, so

"I know who is in charge of Yongge Club here." Yang Chengxi said seriously.

"." Barton and the other two fell silent. Isn't this... a bit difficult?

Bang!!

At this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from the distant direction of the beach.

It seemed like something hard and heavy was colliding with each other.

The four of them were startled and all stood up and looked over there.

"It's the northwest beach!" Barton judged instantly.

"Want to take a look?" Karan asked.

"I think it's better to be safer. We can wait until it's quiet." Engel looked around and found that the island residents on the surrounding streets were all skillfully packing up their things, closing doors and windows, and then hid in their homes and pulled the curtains. Close the curtains.

Even the restaurant owner grabbed the drawer where the money was kept, turned around and ran away. Soon I heard the sound of doors being closed and locked nearby.

"Well, no matter what, we are members of the committee and have undergone intense training." Barton hesitated and stood up.

Under the attention of three people, he turned around and ran away.

"You must run faster than others!"

"."x3.

The three of them were stunned for a moment, then immediately pushed away their chairs and fled.

After investigating these days, they knew that monsters like blood corpses existed in Yongge.

If the three of them really dared to get together, they would die without knowing how.

Elsa's house.

Li Chengyi and Chen Jiahan pushed the door open and walked out.

The two also heard a loud noise coming from the direction of the beach.

"Want to take a look?" Chen Jiahan asked.

"No need." Li Chengyi smiled, "Have you awakened Hua Huanyi?" He glanced at Chen Jiahan as if he was aware of it.

"Well, if you're talking about that kind of magical fragile armor, I'm awake. It's just that it's a little too brittle and thin. For me, it doesn't have much effect." Chen Jiahan said calmly.

Although he is the master of the Yan-shaped Bagua Sect, because of his terrifying martial arts talent, he is not only proficient in Baguazhang, but also many miscellaneous martial arts and fighting techniques.

There are all kinds of them on the market, and apart from some undisclosed secrets, he knows how to order them all.

"That's good. Let's go find the flowers you need." Li Chengyi said.

The stronger the host of the Flower Language Bead, the stronger the enhancement he gets.

This is determined by the essence of flower language ability.

Therefore, improving Chen Jiahan's strength is also improving his strength.

"Flower?" Chen Jiahan didn't understand.

"Along with that set of armor that you said was fragile, there is also a special ability." Li Chengyi explained. He quickly explained the language ability of flowers in a scientific way.

"Flower language??!" Chen Jiahan looked confused. Is there such a weird ability in this world? ?

"Just go and take a look and you'll find out." Li Chengyi didn't say much and took him to the circular woods around the island.

The weather in May is supposed to be summer, and the island here is close to the middle of the earth and moon, close to the perimeter line, and is the hottest place.

There are already many wild flowers blooming in the woods on the island.

The lush vegetation is like a carpet, thick and dotted with tufts of weedy shrubs.

Some snake-eye chrysanthemums with black hearts and yellow edges are sparsely scattered in the grass, occupying the main field of view.

The rest are red, white and red wildflowers about the size of a fingernail. I don’t know what species they are.

Under some big trees, in a shady spot, various ferns are mixed together, and from time to time a few large-leaf grasses with saw-like leaves poke out.

"Choose any kind of flower and try it by touching it." Li Chengyi said.

Chen Jiahan squinted his eyes and looked at Li Chengyi to make sure he was not joking. Then he walked out and stood among the flowers, reaching out and pinching a light yellow flower.

That is a small wild chrysanthemum.

Soon, his expression changed, and his whole expression was completely different.

From Li Chengyi's side, there was nothing unusual at all, but for Chen Jiahan.

A trace of flower energy poured into his body, and at the same time, along with the flow of flower language information, this first magical experience made him temporarily confused.

He squatted there for a full five minutes, and stayed there for a full five minutes before getting up.

Then he looked at Li Chengyi with a shocked expression.

"Is this real?? Not an illusion?"

"Of course." Li Chengyi pointed to the different flowers on the ground, "Go find the flower language you want."

"I" Chen Jiahan wanted to say something, but he held it back. Now he finally understood how big the gap was between himself and the person in front of him.

If the flower language information is true, it means that Li Chengyi is not at a level that can be restricted by fighting skills.

Even if you are a modified person, even if you are a flying instrument master, if you are caught off guard by such a weird and exaggerated flower language ability, you will definitely lose.

"I see."

He reached out again to touch the other little flowers.

Unlike other members, in just ten minutes, Chen Jiahan touched all the flower varieties around him.

And he decisively determined his main flower immediately.

While determining the main flower, Li Chengyi also felt the increase and enhancement from the purple magnolia.

This means that Chen Jiahan has completed the selection of the main flower and has reached the full collection level.

He didn't ask the other party what kind of flower it was, he just turned around and returned to where he came from.

"Let's go, you need to adapt to the flower language ability, and then integrate it into your fighting system."

"yes."

Northwest facing beach.

The bloody corpses roared and flew towards the Utopia reformers who came ashore.

Uh-huh!

Pieces of gray sword light suddenly lit up.

The Whisperers drew their weapons and easily chopped the bloody corpses to the ground.

In just a moment, hundreds of bloody corpses were scattered on the beach, and there was no sound anymore.

"How come these low-quality biochemical modifications appear in a place like this?" Xue Yan clamped the neck of a bloody corpse with one hand, lifted it up and observed it carefully.

"The technology is not very good, very rough." She commented.

"Stranger, this is private territory, not where you should be."

As the blood swallows threw away the blood corpses, new blood corpses emerged from the beach woods again.

This time, the blood corpses were much larger than before. Each head was two meters high and four to five meters long.

They were like animals, moving on all fours, and the blood-red muscles and white ligaments all over their bodies could be clearly seen.

What attracted the most attention was not these big bloody corpses, but the living people wearing smiling human skin masks standing between them.

Each of these people holds a book in their hands, wears dark red robes, and has their heads slightly lowered, like ascetics who have been practicing for a long time.

"Are you a local force on this island?" Xue Yan looked at this new group of troubles with a calm voice.

"What do you think?" An old man who took the lead among the group of red-robed men replied in a deep voice.

"Haha, you have the guts. After seeing our equipment and weapons, you should also understand whether your own level can pose a threat to us." Xueyan's half-man, half-horse body walked towards the opponent calmly.

"We are just a group of people who can't live long, so what do we have to be afraid of?" the old man in red robe sighed.

A red cross sword flying instrument slowly poked out the tip of the sword from behind him and pointed it at the opposite side.

"Besides, do you really think you killed the bloody corpse?"

Xueyan and a group of whisperers were startled, suddenly noticed something and looked down.

The bloody corpses that had just died had healed their wounds and stood up again.

Except for a very small number of corpses that were divided into several segments, almost all the bloody corpses were resurrected.
