Chapter 426 Don't Think Too Much, I'm Full of Energy

A half-meter-high shrub with gray but very dense leaves and dense thorns growing on it, which is more dangerous than a rose.

Carefully peeling back the layers of leaves and branches, three pale fruits hung in the deepest part of the shrub.

The mouth and nose are complete, and the facial features are just like Lynch himself, but his eyes are tightly closed, and his skin is pale, without any blood.

It was almost as if Lynch had his head cut off, and his hair was hung up to flutter in the wind. It would be even more like it if there were dark red liquid dripping from the bottom.

The four of them looked at each other, unable to find the words to comment.

This thing is just weird after being picked off. Who would have thought that it would be so weird hanging on a branch.

If it absorbs enough vitality to grow into a tree, the fruit will be proportionally enlarged to the size of a real human head. If someone passes by in the middle of the night, they might be frightened to death on the spot.

Everyone gathered in a circle and looked at this weird thing. No one wanted to talk, and Lin Qi felt like he wanted to cry without tears.

Why is this happening? How could the world become like this? He was obviously doing serious things, and he had a bright goal in mind. Why he did what he did and what he used were all weird, and he was indistinguishable from a cultist.

"Mysticism is like this. Ordinary soul-shifters only need to fight against mystery, and all behaviors related to forbidden knowledge must integrate themselves into weirdness and mystery. This is just the beginning."

Diana smiled and comforted Lynch's troubled heart very considerately, but the words she said made Lynch even more sad.

"Why are there only three? Didn't you say there would be five to six?" Officer Natalie looked around between the fruits and Lynch with some confusion, "And why are they so skinny? It doesn't look like that. It's like this after it's cut. ?"

"What do you want to do? I tell you that murder is illegal." Lynch covered his neck and hid to the side, "But it is true, why are there so few?"

Miss Diana looked at the two of them with admiration: "It turns out you really didn't listen at all during the training."

ha? Did you talk about it in class?

Their expressions were almost the same.

The countess sighed and explained: "Ms. Nightingale said that this thing is closely related to the growth environment, and also directly related to the energy of the person who watered it. The more energetic the waterer is, the better it will grow. , if the waterer..."

"Stop! Don't think about it. I'm full of energy. I just haven't slept well these days. It doesn't mean anything."

Lin Qi's face turned green. Is this thing a tester? And it’s absolutely not allowed, I’m definitely energetic…

"It's possible that I didn't sleep well, or my soul is unstable, which leads to lack of energy."

Miss Diana blinked her big innocent eyes and looked at Lynch with a confused look on her face, not understanding why he suddenly had such a big reaction.

"Haha, I, that's what I mean."

Lin Qi felt his face getting hot and quickly looked away, not daring to look into those shining eyes.

Two low laughs came from the side, causing Lin Qi to glare angrily. You two silly girls understood and were watching the fun, right?

Unfortunately, with his wandering eyes, he didn't notice that when he looked away, those big innocent eyes suddenly curved into crescents, filled with a cunning smile. However, when he looked back, the countess' His expression had returned to blankness.

"Ahem, this should be considered grown up, right?"

"Well, Ms. Nightingale said that the fruits will mature gradually within forty-eight to seventy-two hours, depending on the situation. The ten we planted on the first day have all entered the maturity stage, and as long as we see the human head When it’s formed, it means it’s ready for picking.”

"finally……"

I have been struggling with this troublesome and dangerous memory these past few days, just for these weird things. Now it is finally time to harvest. As long as I have it, the fifth era medicine is no longer a problem. , I will have no worries anymore.

Lynch looked at the three ladies, and all three nodded at him.

Well, neighbors bless you.

Lynch licked his lips, took a deep breath, grabbed the apple-sized fruit, and pulled it down hard.

It was easy to get it, but the faces of the four people became solemn.

"The eyes didn't open." Miss Diana sighed and whispered: "Stillborn."

Yes, after picking it off, the mouth and eyes of the fruit were tightly closed, and it still looked like a lifeless human head, not at all as lifelike as the ones the two testers brought back before.

It is not easy to cultivate human face fruit because the final survival rate is not high. In fact, these stillborn fruits can also absorb the vitality of surrounding creatures and rejuvenate in this way.

But that was a bit too inhumane. Even in his memories, Lynch did not intend to do it unless he had to. What's more important is that after doing so, the city will be absorbed, and his group will also be drained. It is impossible to die without vitality.

"Pity."

If one is stillborn, every bush is stillborn. Officer Natalie looked regretful, and just as she was about to draw her sword to cut off the bush, Lynch swung his serrated sword first and glared at her.

This silly girl is comfortable with being struck by a sword, but she has to do it herself at every turn.

The lady police officer stared back without showing any signs of weakness, but the corners of her mouth were slightly raised. However, someone next to her felt that something was wrong, so she quickly got in between the two of them and crushed the three stillborn fruits in a serious manner.

Tsk, my head exploded.

Tsk, my head exploded again.

Girl, why do you look so happy and happy? Do you still remember that you are stepping on the Human Face Fruit?

Fortunately, everyone chose the tactic of casting a wide net. One stillborn fetus was nothing. There was still one tree in this batch, so the four of them immediately turned to the second tree.

The second plant only bore two fruits, which made Lynch even less confident about his energy.

And it was also stillborn.

Well, it’s not surprising that two trees were stillborn in a row, but when they found out that the third tree was still born, the four of them were a little bit murmuring.

This is beyond the normal mortality rate, something is wrong.

With anxiety, the four of them found the fourth target.

At this time, everyone's original expectations had faded, and they became extremely nervous. They just wanted to see the results as soon as possible.

Lin Qi didn't care about the sense of ceremony and directly grabbed a fruit.

The moment he was pulled down, a shrill scream suddenly sounded, like a demonic sound penetrating the ears, deafening.

I eat lemon.

Lynch almost threw the fruit in his hand, and the other three ladies were not mentally prepared at all. They were so shocked that they took a few steps back, but joy appeared on their faces.

This is a normal reaction to picking live fruits.

First there was a scream, like a baby crying at birth.

It's just that the cry of this thing is a little scary and weird, but it's nothing.

Everyone had been mentally prepared before, but it was still a stillbirth. When everyone gave up hope, there was a sudden cry.

Why do you deserve a beating more than me? You must have done it on purpose.

Lin Qi held the human face fruit and looked at it.

Sure enough, the eyes and mouth were opened, and the fruit was lifelike, almost identical except for its size.

But the more this happened, the more creepy Lin Qi felt, and he felt that this thing became more and more terrifying.

"You are so weird."

Lynch said to the fruit, and reached out to poke the fruit's face. However, the moment he touched the fruit's skin, the fruit's mouth suddenly opened and bit his finger like those infected lunatics.
