All my teammates online are my girlfriends

"Don't worry, we have the equipment to deal with this kind of situation, there won't be any problems."

"Why am I suddenly worried...?"

Seeing Tang Feilin holding the shovel with a hint of excitement in her expression, Lin Qiu's heart couldn't help but jump.

Is this guy going to just tear his own house down?

"And the location detected is not directly under your house, so there's no need to worry too much."

Seeing that Lin Qiu was still hesitant, Tang Feilin comforted him and then silently walked to the location that the staff had just detected.

Lin Qiu breathed a slight sigh of relief upon hearing this, but after gritting his teeth, he still agreed—

"Okay, go ahead and dig, but be careful, don't damage my house."

"no problem."

Tang Feilin nodded, then gestured to the staff beside him, and a group of them swarmed over and gripped the shovels tightly.

Although they didn't know what was buried underneath, their intuition told them that once they dug it out, everyone would become famous!

"Hmm, don't you use any mechanical equipment or anything like that?"

"The noise is too loud, and it will cause too many disputes with the neighbors. We can just use a shovel. The thing isn't that deep."

Tang Feilin explained without delay, immediately planting a shovel into the ground.

Watching everyone diligently shoveling soil, Lin Qiu raised an eyebrow, his gaze returning to the fruit pits that Tang Feilin had just planted.

In the short time it took to distract him, the seedling had already grown much taller and even blossomed into an eerie purple flower, emitting a faint, delicate fragrance.

"Which fruit seed was just planted again?"

Lin Qiu muttered to himself, but when he looked over at Saki, he found that she had already joined the shoveling team.

With Saki and Shiro joining in, the digging speed was incredibly fast; in less than a minute, they had dug a deep pit large enough for one person to lie down in.

However, at this point, they slowed down and stared intently at what was below with furrowed brows.

Did you just hear something?

"Um......"

"Heartbeat?"

"It felt like my heart was beating in sync with it, and I felt a tightness in my chest."

As Bai Ya spoke, her face turned somewhat pale.

I already feel unwell after digging this far. What will happen if I dig it all out?

However, only the two of them noticed this strange phenomenon. The ordinary staff members nearby listened to their muttering without understanding what was going on, and did not feel uncomfortable at all.

Seeing the strange look on the two of them, Tang Feilin's eyes narrowed slightly. After pondering for a moment, she waved her hand and said—

"You two should step back a bit. You just consumed those fruits; there's no guarantee they won't be affected by what's down there."

"understood."

Bai Ya nodded and obediently left the pit.

Sakiko glanced at Lin Qiu, who was watching the show, and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow—

"Lin Qiu, don't you feel anything?"

"Is there any movement?"

Hearing Saki's question, Lin Qiu was taken aback, as he hadn't felt anything.

Could something have happened to these two?!

"Come here and see if you can hear any heartbeat."

"Heartbeat?"

Lin Qiu scratched his head, looking confused, and walked over to Sakikuma, where he focused on listening attentively.

But as time went by, he still didn't hear anything amiss.

"You must have misheard me, right? I didn't hear anything."

"How is that possible? I can still hear that strange heartbeat, and I can hardly breathe."

Sakuma clutched her chest, her face also appearing somewhat pale.

Moreover, the longer you stay there, the more the heart resonates; other internal organs also begin to vibrate subtly...

"No, I have to step back first. You can try digging."

"Hmm? Okay then."

Lin Qiu looked at Saki and Shiro with a blank expression, and with a hint of wariness, he swung the shovel and continued shoveling.

As the pit went deeper and deeper, Lin Qiu still didn't sense anything amiss, but Saki and Shiro were stunned.

"I suspect he ate fake fruit."

"Too thick-skinned?"

"Hey, hey, hey, I can hear you all whispering!"

Lin Qiu glared at the two whispering to each other. For some reason, his hearing seemed to have improved, and he could hear their conversation very clearly.

Seeing that Lin Qiu had heard her complaint, Saki smiled somewhat sullenly.

Lin Qiu rolled his eyes in annoyance, and was about to continue shoveling when a staff member stopped him—

"Alright, we're almost there. Leave the rest to us."

"Oh, okay."

Seeing that the staff had taken out small brushes and were carefully brushing away the soil, Lin Qiu didn't disturb them anymore and obediently stepped aside.

Under his curious gaze, a small piece of the branch surface quickly emerged, vibrating continuously, as if something was struggling beneath it.

At that moment, upon seeing the rough surface, both Shira and Sakuma instinctively stopped breathing.

"Wake up."

Seeing that something was wrong, Tang Feilin immediately patted the two women on the shoulder, bringing them back to their senses.

Only these three guys ate the mutated fruit, but now the two of them are being inexplicably affected, while Lin Qiu shows no signs of it.

How is this going?

An anomaly within an anomaly?

"Um—why do I feel like you're looking at me like you're dissecting me?"

"It's your illusion."

Tang Feilin gave a vague and perfunctory answer, her attention returning to the pit.

As the staff cleaned up, the intricate vines and branches gradually came into view.

The strangely growing branches and vines now resembled a natural cage, wrapped into a sphere, completely sealing off the interior space.

Countless vines connected the cage, their surfaces shimmering and moving with a faint green light, as if they were transporting something.

However, as the cage was dug out, both Shira and Sakuma felt as if their hearts were being squeezed, making it almost impossible for them to breathe.

What's in there?

Lin Qiu, who was still not feeling unwell, muttered to himself. But as soon as he spoke, the cage seemed to sense something, and after trembling, it loosened some of the vines that were sealing him in the direction of Lin Qiu.

Lin Qiu only managed to glance inside briefly before the vines blocked it again, as if worried about being seen by others, which made everyone's expressions somewhat subtle.

What the hell does this mean? Is this preferential treatment?!

What did you just see?

Tang Feilin asked in a deep voice.

"I think I saw a miniature tree floating there."

"The tree... is it floating?"

216-Immunity

"Director, we still can't detect what's inside."

"We've tried all the instruments we need for detection, but these branches and vines seem to be blocking all signals."

Listening to the staff's description, Tang Feilin frowned and tentatively poked the cage with a shovel.

But as soon as she poked it, the cage, which had been beating like a heart, suddenly stopped moving.

Sakuma and Shiro felt as if their hearts had been squeezed to the limit, and they curled up in a ball with pale faces.

"Stop! Don't touch it anymore! If you touch it again, I feel like we're going to get into trouble!"

Wu Xiaoxiong shouted laboriously, which made Tang Feilin stop what she was doing in confusion.

How come Lin Qiu was completely unaffected by their dramatic expressions of life and death?

Moreover, only Lin Qiu saw what was inside... Could this thing even recognize its owner?

"Someone, take them back inside so the medical staff can check their condition."

"Yes!"

Under Lin Qiu's worried gaze, Bai Ya and Saki were carried onto stretchers and taken to the next room.

After seeing the two off, Tang Feilin turned her gaze back to Lin Qiu and asked in a deep voice—

"Besides the floating miniature trees, what else did you see?"

"That's it. There's just one tree inside, sometimes green and sometimes red. When it turns red, the branches look strange, like blood vessels."

As Lin Qiu gestured, his gaze drifted towards the cage, and the thing actually swayed towards him, making his eyelids twitch involuntarily.

Could this thing be possessed by a spirit?

Have you seen this thing in "Kara no Kyoukai"?

"No, this miniature tree looks so unique, I would definitely remember it if I had seen it before. But it might be in an unexplored area of ​​'Sky Realm', I'll go ask Qi Xi."

Faced with this situation, Lin Qiu didn't dare to delay and ran straight back into the house.

Meanwhile, Qi Xi, inside the room, rolled her eyes as she basked in Chen Xiao's dangerous gaze, which seemed to regard her as a love rival, while her hands never stopped feeding Qian Hui.

What are you looking at? Is there anything wrong with being close to your friend's sister?

"Qi Xi, come with me for a moment, there's a new development in the backyard."

As soon as Lin Qiu returned to the house, he greeted everyone, immediately drawing their attention.

"What happened?"

Ye Qianhe looked blankly at Lin Qiu, who seemed a little nervous, and a sense of foreboding crept into her heart.

This guy has been tinkering with something in the backyard since earlier. Could he have gotten into some trouble again?

"We dug up a strange wooden ball from under our house, and Tang Feilin wants Qi Xi to take a look at it."

"Wooden ball?"

Ye Qianhe was stunned upon hearing this. There was something underground in his house? How come he had no recollection of it at all?

"I'll go take a look."

Realizing the seriousness of the problem, Qi Xi did not linger. After feeding the last bite of pudding to Qian Hui, she left her seat and headed to the backyard.

Before Lin Qiu could follow, Ye Qianhe and Chen Xiao came over together, their faces showing a hint of curiosity.

"Why did you follow us?"

"It's out of curiosity. I don't think there's anything underground. Now a wooden ball has suddenly appeared. I definitely have to go and check it out. What if it's some kind of treasure!"

Ye Qianhe shouted, and Chen Xiao nodded in agreement.

I was actually looking at the peach trees Lin Qiu had planted up close, and it felt really strange that they could grow peaches the size of watermelons!

If the master knew this, he would definitely lose his mind and rush over to try it.

"Alright, but don't cause any trouble later, there will be researchers there."
