Chapter 236 Code-named Bat (42): The Mysterious Role of the Flower of Darkness
Zheng Shihao is right. For Cheng Sulan, Cheng Sumin, Acheng and I will choose to help him. He is hiding behind and has already analyzed everyone's relationships and weaknesses. My relationship with Cheng Sulan, Shen Yao and I The relationship between Cheng Sumin and Cheng Sulan, the relationship between Acheng and Cheng Sumin, and the relationship between Xiaohou and Acheng. Everyone seems to have no connection, but because Cheng Sulan is alone, no one can refuse.
Under the leadership of Zheng Shihao, we came to the place where the Flower of Darkness grows. In fact, we are all familiar with that place. It is on the wall in the middle of the third door among the four selection doors. It is just because the corridor is relatively dark, plus those Flowers of darkness are black, so we haven’t seen them before. If we don’t look carefully with a lamp, we can’t see these black flowers hidden in the darkness at all. If we look carefully, they are all densely clinging to the top of the corridor. superior.
Although I don’t know much about this kind of flower, and I don’t know if it is really as valuable as Zheng Shihao said. But when we shined the light on those flowers of darkness, I couldn’t help but gasp.
It’s no wonder that Zheng Shihao spent so much effort on these things, even letting Chen Dian die in front of him as his scapegoat, because these flowers are not the same as ordinary flowers at all, these flowers look more like demons hiding in the darkness. .
Although they are flowers, they have their mouths open. Except for the fact that their bodies are black, the stamens in the middle are blood red. When the light shines on them, those stamens immediately sway back and forth, like mouths with bloody mouths that open at any time. It may devour any creature that comes close to it.
"Doesn't this look too scary?" Shen Yao said.
"Of course, since its value is so high, it's not easy to get it," Zheng Shihao said with a smile.
"Then what do you want us to do?" I looked at Zheng Shihao and asked.
"Don't worry, I'm different from Chen Dian. Chen Dian is the kind of person who will do whatever it takes to achieve the goal. I'm different from him. I'm here for the purpose." Zheng Shihao pointed to his head.
"Stop talking nonsense, what should we do?" I looked at Zheng Shihao and asked.
"Simple, let's go together now. Everyone except Cheng Sulan and I will participate. Have you seen the entrance to the corridor in front? There is a green flower stalk there." Zheng Shihao pointed to the front, and following his direction, we I saw, indeed, that there was a flower stem at the front of the corridor, and that flower stem extended out countless flower branches, and those flowers of darkness were clinging to the flower branches.
"That flower stalk is the support foundation of the entire Flower of Darkness. As long as we can capture that flower stalk, no matter how terrifying and dangerous the Flower of Darkness is, it will still be taken away by us." Zheng Shihao continued.
"Then what are you waiting for?" Acheng said, looking at Zheng Shihao, "I'll do it, I'll help you do it, and the others will be spared.
Zheng Shihao smiled and said, "Don't worry, listen to me. Things are not that easy. If things were so easy, would there be any need for me to lay out such a big situation for all of you to help me?"
"Then how to do it?" I stared at Zheng Shihao. When I was looking for the Flower of Darkness, I first wanted to tell you about the origin of this Flower of Darkness. This Flower of Darkness is actually the same as the Pearl of Eternity in the tomb. A thing that complements each other. Compared with what you have experienced, the charm of the Pearl of Eternity can awaken the evil sadness in your heart and make you do impulsive things that you least want to do. The flower stalk of the Flower of Darkness is a A very magical thing. It is the opposite of the Pearl of Eternity. Maybe it is because it has to bear these flowers of sin, so its requirements are very pure. In other words, we need to find someone with a particularly pure heart, and through the Flower of Darkness Only by testing the stem can you get the flower of darkness on the stem.
The method is very simple, just hold the stem of the Flower of Darkness, close your eyes and be silent for half a minute, or even a minute. If there is no reaction, it means that you have passed the test of the Flower of Darkness, and then you will You can walk over and pick off the Flower of Darkness. Anyway, if your heart is too evil, or if you have something hidden that you cannot face others, then you will not be able to pass the test of the Flower of Darkness' stem, and naturally there will be no way to take it. To the flower of darkness.
So, despite the fact that there are so many of us, there may only be very few people who can actually obtain the Flower of Darkness, at least Cheng Sulan and I cannot obtain it," Zheng Shihao said.
"What does this mean?" We were a little confused by Zheng Shihao's words.
"Actually, it's very simple. We are testing one by one. Who can help me get the Flower of Darkness? Not only will I let him go, but I will also give him a large amount of money to thank him." Zheng Shihao said.
"Is there any danger in that?" Shen Yao asked.
"There is no danger, it's just a test. If it fails, the stem of the Flower of Darkness will tremble like a snake, and then you just need to release it quickly. Don't hold it forcefully, otherwise it may hurt you. It’s up to you. As for those who pass the Flower Stem of Darkness test, it’s even simpler and there’s no danger at all. Because you’ve passed its approval, you can do whatever you want with it.” Zheng Shihao said.
"Shall we start then?" When Zheng Shihao said this, we had nothing to say.
So everyone briefly discussed it, and then lined up one by one to go for the test, and I was in the middle. While others were going to test, I walked up to Cheng Sulan and whispered a few words.
"I'm really sorry." Cheng Sulan was full of guilt, "I didn't expect that Zheng Shihao would do such a thing and put you all into a place of injustice."
"Hey, what are you talking about? I grabbed Cheng Sulan's hand and said, "This has nothing to do with Zheng Shihao. Zheng Shihao said that this thing can help you gain freedom. If you had said it earlier, I would have done it. Why should we wait until Zheng Shihao says."
"I'm sorry, really me?" Cheng Sulan hesitated before speaking.
"Okay, don't talk about it. No matter what happened in the past, it is in the past. I hope you can be happy in the future. After we leave here, you will never contact anyone from the Shadow Group again. That paragraph made you This horrible nightmare is over, and I will stay with you every day from now on, as long as you are willing." I said to Cheng Sulan.
Cheng Sulan smiled, her eyes full of warmth.
At this time, Shen Yao went up.
In fact, to me, I think these people are not qualified, because everyone’s heart, no matter what profession they are engaged in, or the way they do things, are not pure. Shen Yao is relatively clean. , he is more serious about people and things, has a kind heart, and has always had good self-control ability.
Shen Yao walked up to the stem of the Flower of Darkness and reached out to touch it. Everyone looked at him with bated breath. Zheng Shihao, like me, seemed to be full of hope for Shen Yao.
Because he knew that other people, such as Xiao Hou and Lao Hai, were rough people and would definitely not be able to pass the test, not even Acheng.
What we didn't expect was that the flower stem of the Flower of Darkness suddenly trembled, and Shen Yao suddenly let go of his hand, which meant that it had not been passed.
"How is this possible?" I blurted out.
Shen Yao shook his head helplessly and walked down.
Zheng Shihao was also a little surprised and couldn't help but said, "Dr. Shen, in my eyes you should be able to pass. Do you also have some unspeakable secrets in your heart?"
Shen Yao said, "Who in this world doesn't have secrets? As long as he has experienced things, as long as he has emotions, love, hate, and hatred, he will have his own secret. We are not gods, we are all mortals, how can we do this? What about the purity of the soul? I think the so-called purity of the soul here means that it is very transparent about everything, has no harmful mentality, and does not have too many thoughts, but it is impossible to have complicated emotions like the one mentioned above. None, that’s impossible. Everyone knows that if the water is clear, there will be no fish, so how is this possible?”
"What a pity. I thought you could meet this condition and help me get the Flower of Darkness." Zheng Shihao sighed.
"Sorry, I couldn't help you." Shen Yao shrugged helplessly and walked down.
"It's my turn." Cheng Sumin said, standing up and preparing to walk up.
"I'll go." I reached out and walked over, patting her shoulder.
When Zheng Shihao saw me, his eyes suddenly shone with a different light and said, "Lu An, I also have great confidence in you. Although I have not been in contact with you for a long time, I think you are an upright person. I think you are the same as Dr. Shen." It will definitely pass, don’t let me down.”
I didn't say anything, looked back at Cheng Sulan, and then nodded towards her.
Cheng Sulan smiled, her eyes full of hope.
I turned around and walked up, without thinking, I reached out and grabbed the stem of the Flower of Darkness. A cool breath instantly jumped from the stem of the Flower of Darkness to my palm, and then spread to my whole body.
I suddenly felt dizzy, my whole body was trembling, and I had an indescribable feeling. I wanted to let go of the flower stem of the Flower of Darkness, but the stem seemed to be stuck to the palm of my hand, and I couldn't shake it no matter what. Can't get rid of it.
At this time, I saw the flowers of the Flower of Darkness on the flower stems starting to sway back and forth. The heart of the Flower of Darkness grinned and made a sizzling sound one by one. It was like a group of flowers crawling out of hell. demon.
But at this time, something even weirder happened. I saw those flowers getting bigger and bigger, and they turned into a human face, and they were different faces. These different faces were all familiar to me. , there are my classmates, my friends, my parents, my fellow villagers, my netizens, my teachers, and even Wu Ruolan, Ye Mei, what is going on with all this?
I looked at these familiar faces shaking in front of me. They all looked at me with a smile, and then swayed in front of me, as if a noisy voice began to ring in my ears, some of them laughing, some of them crying.
