"Do you sell quicklime by the pound?" Lu Qing couldn't help but ask after hearing the merchant's words.
Logically speaking, quicklime should be hard to find, but from the merchant's tone, it seemed that she had found a lot of quicklime, so she could sell it by the kilogram.
Of course, Lu Qing actually didn't need much raw water, and the price of one hundred yuan per pound was not cheap, so after thinking about it for a while, she only bought two pounds of quicklime from the merchant.
After buying quicklime, Lu Qing looked at the time on her watch and saw that there were about two minutes left before the merchant left.
After hesitating for a while, she looked at the merchant, took out the mimic mushroom, and said, "Do you know this thing?"
"..."
She couldn't see the expression behind the businessman's mask, but Lu Qing felt that the other party had already expected it. After seeing her take out the mimic mushroom, she just nodded calmly.
The merchant's entire reaction was actually not beyond Lu Qing's expectations. After all, if the merchant could really rely on tree roots to get all the news in the forest, then the merchant should also know that she had obtained the mimic mushroom.
And being able to see the properties of items is an ability that only she, as a dream game player, has. In the eyes of a businessman, she probably doesn't even know what this thing is.
The next thing to see is whether the merchant will truthfully tell her the function and effect of this thing.
As Lu Qing thought this, she saw the businessman take out a shabby-looking file bag from his arms.
"This is?"
Taking the file bag from the businessman, Lu Qing was surprised to find that this thing was actually the research report on the attribute column of the mimetic mushroom when he was looking at it!
However, the file bag given to her by the businessman obviously contained much more information than what was on the attribute column. It contained a large number of hand-drawn pictures and various experimental reports.
Lu Qing only glanced at it briefly, but did not look at it carefully. After all, the businessman was leaving soon, and it was obviously not enough time for her to read through this bag of files.
"Did you give me this portfolio?" Lu Qing looked at the businessman and asked.
Seeing the businessman nodding, Lu Qing asked tentatively, "Why do I feel like you have been prepared for this?"
“…..”
The air suddenly became quiet. Lu Qing looked very normal on the surface, but in fact she was already alert in her heart. If any emergency situation occurred, she would be able to react immediately.
However, what Lu Qing never expected was that after being silent for a while, the businessman did not take out a paper and pen to write as usual, but slowly spoke a sentence from the worn-out helmet.
"The tree...the roots...will...record everything..."
Her tone was slow and steady, but her voice sounded exactly the same as Lu Qing's. However, Lu Qing himself couldn't think about it at this time, because the moment he heard the businessman speak, he felt a dreamlike feeling.
A phantom feeling flooded into her brain.
[The ultimate target of the mimic mushrooms is human beings. However, this is just a clumsy way to imitate the creation method of the Creator. No matter how it changes, the mimic mushrooms are just mimic mushrooms after all. It is impossible
Becoming a human is nothing more than turning into a creature with a human body, a mushroom brain, and is extremely unstable and prone to explosion.】
[However, there is only one person, and only one person. As if due to the negligence of the Creator, a mimic mushroom succeeded. She successfully turned into a human appearance and had a human body. 】
【This is both a miracle and a curse!】
[No creature can bear the pressure and load of looking directly at this blasphemous creature with a body like a human being, and no creature can bear the sound of her voice. She is like a god of death. Wherever she passes,
No living thing can escape the fate of death and madness.]
[Mimicry... No, the girl's joy of rebirth was washed away. She put on a heavy and dusty helmet, and wrapped her body in layers of shabby and heavy clothes. 】
["If it's you, you must be able to withstand my voice, because you are... my sister."]
"Uh...ah..."
Lu Qing slowly knelt down on the ground, bright red blood flowing from her nostrils and ears. However, even so, there was no trace of pain on her face.
In fact, her consciousness had been completely blurred. She could not feel any strangeness in her body, nor could she think. All kinds of weird and indescribable illusions appeared on her retina.
Finally, Lu Qing felt fear, her body kept shaking, her eyes gradually turned white, and she huddled on the ground as if she couldn't breathe.
【......】
The signboard was trembling continuously, as if it was about to do something. However, at this moment, an accident happened and the signboard stopped trembling.
A huge shadow emerged from under Lu Qing's body. The shadow kept squirming, and then a shadow that looked like a human woman emerged from it.
"Hehehe, don't be so careless next time~"
The shadow laughed happily, then squatted down and hugged the girl into his arms.
"Since I saved you, you will be mine from now on~"
The black shadow slowly kissed the girl's forehead, leaving a trace of black roses before disappearing into the space.
And at this time, Wein shivered out of the corner of the room. After being unable to feel any remaining breath from the black shadow, he hurriedly flew to Lu Qing's side.
"Hey, little master, are you okay?"
