The red moon returns

Chapter 426 Don’t think too much, I’m full of energy

A half-meter-high shrub with gray but dense leaves covered with dense thorns, more dangerous than a rose.

Carefully pushing aside the layers of leaves and branches, three pale fruits were hanging in the deepest part of the bush.

The mouth, nose, eyebrows and eyes are all intact, just like Lynch himself, but his eyes are closed and his skin is extremely pale, without a trace of blood.

It was just like Lynch's head was chopped off, with his hair hanging up and fluttering in the wind. It would be even more like it if there was dark red liquid dripping from the bottom.

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

This thing only looks weird after being picked, who would have thought it would be so strange hanging on a branch.

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

Sitting in a circle looking at this weird thing, no one wanted to talk, and Lynch even felt like crying but had no tears.

Why is this happening? How did the world become like this? They are clearly doing serious things, and they clearly have bright goals, but why are the things they do and use so weird, and indistinguishable from cultists?

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

Diana smiled and tried to comfort Lynch's troubled heart considerately, but her words made Lynch even more sad.

"Why are there only three? Didn't they say there would be five or six?" Officer Natalie looked around the fruit and the Lynch in confusion. "And why are they so skinny? They don't look like one. Is this what it looks like when you cut it off?"

"What do you want to do? I told you that murder is against the law." Lin Qi covered his neck and dodged 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 that you really didn't listen at all during the training."

Huh? Did you talk about that in class?
The expressions of the two were almost the same.

The Countess sighed and explained, "Ms. Nightingale said that this plant is closely related to the growth environment and the energy of the person who waters it. The more energetic the waterer is, the better it grows. If the waterer..."

"Stop! Don't think about whether I have enough energy or not. I have plenty of energy. I just didn't sleep well these past few days. It doesn't mean anything."

Lin Qi's face turned pale. Is this a tester? And it's definitely not accurate. I'm definitely full of energy...

"It's possible that I didn't sleep well, or my soul is unstable, so I don't have enough energy."

Miss Diana blinked her big innocent eyes and looked at Lynch with confusion, totally confused as to why he suddenly had such a big reaction.

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

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

Two low laughs came from the side, causing Lin Qi to glare at him angrily. You two silly girls understood what I heard and are here to watch the fun, right?

Unfortunately, his eyes were wandering and he didn't notice that when he looked away, those innocent big eyes suddenly curved into crescents, filled with a sly smile. However, when he looked back, the Countess's expression had returned to being confused.

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

"Well, Ms. Nightingale said that the fruits will mature within 48 to 72 hours, depending on the situation. The ten we planted on the first day have all entered the maturity period. As long as we see the human head taking shape, it means that we can pick them."

"finally……"

I have been tormented in this troublesome and dangerous memory these past few days, all for these strange things. Now it is finally time to reap the rewards. As long as I have them, the medicines of the Fifth Epoch will no longer be a problem, and I will have no worries.

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

Well, neighbor bless.

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

It was done very easily, but the faces of the four people became solemn.

"The eyes are not open." Miss Diana sighed and whispered, "Dead fetus." Yes, after being picked, the mouth and eyes of the fruit were tightly closed, still like a lifeless human head, not at all as lifelike as the ones brought back by the two testers before.

The human-faced fruit is not easy to cultivate because the final survival rate is not high. In fact, these dead fruits can also absorb the vitality of surrounding organisms and restore vitality in this way.

But that was a bit too inhumane. Even in his memories, Lynch would not do this unless it was absolutely necessary. What was more important was that after doing so, the entire city would be absorbed, and his group would be drained of vitality and die. It was not feasible at all.

"Pity."

If one was a dead fetus, then all the bushes were dead fetuses. Officer Natalie looked regretful and was about to draw her sword to cut off the bush, but Lynch swung his serrated sword first and glared at her.

This silly girl feels good when she is hit by a sword, but she always wants to take action herself.

The female police officer glared back without showing any weakness, but the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. However, someone nearby felt something was wrong, so she quickly stepped in between the two of them and seriously crushed the three dead fetus fruits.

Tsk, my head exploded.

Tsk, my head exploded again.

Girl, why do you look so happy and pleased? Do you remember that you are stepping on the human-faced fruit?

Fortunately, everyone chose the tactic of casting a wide net. A dead fetus is nothing, and there are still trees to be found in this batch. The four of them immediately turned to the second tree.

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

And it was also a stillbirth.

Well, two consecutive dead fetuses are not surprising, but when they found out that the third one was also dead, the four of them were a little worried.

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

With a nervous mood, the four found the fourth target.

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

Lynch didn't care about the sense of ceremony and just pulled off a fruit.

Just as it was pulled down, a shrill scream suddenly rang out, like a devil's sound piercing the ears, deafening.

I eat lemon.

Lynch almost threw the fruit in his hand away. The other three ladies were not mentally prepared at all and took a few steps back in shock, but joy appeared on their faces.

This is the normal reaction when picking live fruits.

First there is a scream, like the cry of a baby at birth.

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

Everyone had been mentally prepared, but the baby kept getting stillbirths. When everyone had given up hope, there was a sudden cry.

How come you deserve a beating more than I do? You must be doing this on purpose.

Lynch held the human-faced fruit and looked at it in surprise.

Sure enough, the eyes and mouth were open, and the fruit looked lifelike, almost identical except for the size.

But the more this happened, the more creepy Lynch felt, and the more he looked at this thing, the scarier it became.

"You're so weird."

Lynch spoke 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 down on his finger like those infected lunatics.
