Hidden Corners

Night, 21:44.

The capital of Fengnan Province, Nanzhou.

boom! !

A loud bang exploded on the tallest signal tower in the city.

Orange-yellow flames soared into the sky, accompanied by thick smoke billowing and slanting with the wind.

The moonlight at night was temporarily obscured by smoke and fire.

The siren sounded quickly, and in the branches of the surrounding security department, speeding lights were raised one after another, approaching the signal tower.

Layers of invisible fluctuations flew over the signal tower, as if scanning something.

The crowd and vehicles under the tower fled quickly, and the circular block was swept away in less than ten minutes.

Immediately afterwards, black and white police cars approached quickly with flashing red and blue lights and stopped.

One of the police cars got on, the door opened, and a few solemn figures with silver suitcases got out.

There were three of them, two men and one woman.

Standing at the front was a tall man in a gray trench coat and a navy blue police uniform.

He has a mustache, deep eyes, light eyebrows, and he is staring at the smoking signal tower with his lips pursed.

"Xiaocheng, Wanru, it seems that the anonymous warning email is real. Someone is really planning to attack us Fengnan."

His voice was not loud, but the two behind him could clearly hear him.

"Since that person is willing to tip off the news, but he doesn't take the initiative to prove it, it means that his identity is likely to be shady. But it doesn't matter. No matter what his purpose is, our goal is the same, which is to weaken And kill this group of terrorists in Utopia!"

The man who spoke had a tough face, a dark red long knife on his back, and a tight black and red police uniform. He was Ding Zaocheng, the deputy director of security in Suiyang.

It was only after he received a request from his teacher Xue Weimin for help that he quickly came to support him.

The same is true for another Zheng Wanru, who was Xue Weimin's student together with him.

When they were able to become omnicists, Xue Weimin worked hard.

"I have checked all channels, but there is still no clue. This explosion broke the main signal center of the city, which has a great impact on the coverage of the Silent Fortress. If we can't quickly repair it within 48 hours, I am afraid there will be more follow-up trouble."

The black-haired woman with a high ponytail answered in a low voice.

She is Zheng Wanru, the third-generation boss of the Zheng family, a member of the Federation, and the main force of the younger generation of the Zheng family. She is now the director of the Special Investigation Division of the Provincial Security Administration, and is at the same level as Ding Zaocheng.

"Perhaps this is the purpose of the people behind it." Xue Weimin whispered.

He was about to continue speaking as he watched a line of police officers burst into the building entrance below the signal tower.

Suddenly, a rush of communication sounded from him.

"The director is not good! Among the victims are President Feng of the Provincial Federation, and his daughter Feng Zhenyan!"

"What!? Feng Lu is here too!?" Xue Weimin's eyes widened suddenly.

He was not the only one who heard the voice in the communication, Ding Zaocheng and Zheng Wanru beside him both trembled, and a slight chill rose in their hearts.

If it was just a relatively large-scale bombing before, it was nothing, but now, Feng Lu, the president of the association, died in the bombing with his daughter.

This nature has changed.

Although Feng Lu is the president, she is already old, and she is only the representative of the Feng family in the Provincial Federation.

He is highly respected and kind, and has a high reputation in the association.

Coupled with the strong strength of the Feng family, it is a real big force in Fengnan Province.

Xue Weimin never expected that the target of the attackers behind the scenes was actually the president of the association!

"Go! Go and have a look!" He was the first to step forward and walk towards the still burning signal tower.

The other two looked tense and quickly followed.

At this moment, both of them felt an indescribable haze in their hearts, as if they could feel that an impending storm was about to sweep across the entire Fengnan Province.

hum.

A red spot of light flashed across the night sky, flying towards the distance, like a red meteor.

In front of the botanical garden.

Li Chengyi lowered his head slowly and looked back at the night sky. He didn't know what those red lights were, but according to what the boss said before, they were the movements of the self-circulating city.

The difference between self-circulation and ordinary cities is completely two worlds.

It's okay to mess up anything.

These are not the most important things now.

It's the power of the sunflower scale clothes, which really has an effect on those invisible monsters!

'This proves that my previous thinking was correct! '

Getting out of the blind spot smoothly allowed him to calm down from his uneasy mood.

He had just escaped from the quiet little shop in a dead corner. Originally, I thought that when I walked out of the store, I could discover the external truth as recorded in Zhong Hui's notes.

But unfortunately, when he was about to reach the open space facing the green belt, his eyes suddenly flashed.

In the blink of an eye, people have returned to the gate of the botanical garden.

And the time has passed for several hours.

"Now, it's time to absorb the mutant flower energy of wisteria and complete the second evolution"

Standing at the gate, Li Chengyi pressed the AR glasses to make sure that everything in the blind spot had not been recorded, then took out his mobile phone and dialed the number of the person on duty at the botanical garden.

"Uncle Li? Open the door, I'm in the garden."

"President Li? Immediately, please wait a moment!" An elderly man's voice came from the other end of the phone.

Not long after, the iron fence of the botanical garden's confinement slowly flashed green and separated towards the two sides.

An old man with a flat head in an old camouflage uniform, holding a remote control in his hand, stood at the door and looked this way.

Li Chengyi strode in, found a pocket for the canned food he took out from the quiet shop.

"Has the silver vine I ordered arrived?"

"It's already arrived. It arrived a few days ago, and there are many more gladiolus." Lao Li replied, "I picked up all the goods. The workers have already set up the transplanting position, and I'm waiting for you to come and see."

"Go and have a look." Li Chengyi was determined and asked him to lead the way.

The two entered the botanical garden together, and found a large piece of pure white wisteria in the wisteria shed.

The petals of these flowers are larger than ordinary wisteria, not a little bigger, but much larger.

Perhaps because it was transplanted, the petals and leaves are a little shriveled and lack water.

"All the previous wisterias have been sold, and only one-fifth of them are left to make nests for these newly arrived silver vines." Lao Li said with a smile, "These mature flowers are much more expensive, and the demand is low." Many, that is, the boss will only buy it because of your personal preference, and you don’t have such a strong idea for another person.”

He seemed in a pretty good mood.

Because he was the one who found the channels through which these silver vines were purchased.

The source was provided by his relatives in the country, and he also took some kickbacks for the middle price.

This kind of work where you can eat meat by pulling the string, he can't wait to do it a few more times.

"Where is the gladioli multiflora?" Li Chengyi took a deep breath, and could smell the faint pea-like fragrance.

"In another shed, the boss is going to see it now?" Lao Li asked.

"No need, I'll check the flowers here carefully first." Li Chengyi walked slowly to the silver rattan flower stand, stretched out his hand, and gently touched the large bunch of flowers hanging down.

laugh.

A ray of cool flower air flows into his fingertips, flows along the back of his hand, and enters the imprint of the flower of evil.

Suddenly, a new wave of feedback flooded into Li Chengyi's mind.

'Secondary evolutionary degree: 16%. '

The previous evolution degree was 15, and then it has been stuck here, without further improvement.

Now finally, after absorbing the silver vine wisteria variant, the second evolution finally made progress again.

Li Chengyi's face remained unchanged, but his heart was filled with inexplicable fulfillment at this moment.

He stood under a large piece of pure silver vines, put down the flying instrument and bag, and kept touching the surrounding white petals with both hands.

The tangy aroma and soft touch made him faintly addicted to it.

And the degree of evolution is constantly increasing.

18.

19.

twenty one.

25.

The numbers aren't fast, but they're remarkably firm.

ten minutes later.

A slight sound came into his mind.

'Secondary evolutionary degree: 100%. '

finished! Finally finished!

Li Chengyi let out a long sigh of relief.

'Next is gladiolus. '

Lifting the things, he quickly went to another shed.

Over there, he saw the newly arrived gladiolus, which was also pure white.

Unfortunately, the number of multi-flower gladiolus was not enough due to insufficient funds. As a result, the secondary evolution rate he absorbed only reached 43%, and then stopped completely.

Then Li Chengyi went to check the sunflowers again, but unfortunately they were still the same, and even part of them was missing because they didn't buy them.

Disappointed, he didn't stay in the garden, but quickly left the botanical garden, told Lao Li to keep the gate, and called a car to return to the city.

Sitting in the back row of the car, he put the flying instrument box on his lap, and put the plastic bag for the jar aside.

‘Next, it’s time to look for evil thoughts. As long as you complete the absorption of evil thoughts, you can complete the second evolution of wisteria. '

‘The efficiency of searching for evil thoughts aimlessly all the time is really too low. The last time I ate two ends was very good. It is a very successful case. '

Li Chengyi closed his eyes and thought.

‘From practical examples, people with stronger willpower will have more evil thoughts, which can be sustainable. And people with strong willpower often only appear in a few types of people. '

'First, people who have beliefs, ideals, hatred, and hard training. '

'Second, people who have experienced painful lessons, were born in poverty, and climbed to high positions step by step by themselves. '

'Third, people who walk between life and death and need to bear huge pressure at any time. '

Li Chengyi felt that he was not smart, so he could only sum up these three categories.

Just like the woman he saved before. She has a strong will through hatred.

"It seems that most of the people in a terrorist organization like Utopia meet my needs."

'But now I can't find people in Utopia for a while, but the second category and the third category are easy to find. '

The second category is nothing more than the leaders of those gang members. These people climbed up from the bottom, relying on a lot of hard work to get ahead, and their willpower is naturally strong.

The third category is the simplest.

That's the dead man!

A person who can withstand being entangled in dead ends again and again, still not dead, and can still maintain a normal state must be extremely tenacious, and he can also become his manure.
