It's a hell game, who can still be a human being?

Chapter 231: French plane tree: Quickly cover my annual rings with your things~
"impossible."

The black cat flatly refused.

He even puts others in a dark room. Once this trend starts, how can we manage the place in the future?

"Okay, then can we postpone it for a while? After today is the window for our relationship to warm up, it would be a shame to waste it."

Hishikibu begged again.

"What do you guys think about this?"

Black Cat looked at the platinum authors who had recovered.

"Please, please, all the mistakes today are my fault. After the dance, I will pay you a visit to apologize."

Hishikibu bowed to all the authors with a very sincere attitude.

The platinum authors discussed it for a while and finally nodded in agreement.

Although they were tormented, all the negative emotions that had accumulated were swept away. This was an effect that could only be achieved after five or six dances. It could be considered a blessing in disguise.

Since there was no loss and Hiashikibu's apology attitude was quite good, the novelist will definitely apologize to them later, so it's not impossible to give them a little leniency.

"Okay, since no one has any objection, I will ask the association to postpone the novelist's small dark room for a month."

The black cat took advantage of the situation.

"The Great Fool is so kind."

Hishikibu trotted over and picked up the black cat and kissed it.

"Hey, stay away from me woman."

The black cat was startled and escaped from her petting range with a nimble three jumps.

"Just talk, don't make any moves. I'm not that kind of casual cat."

The black cat said unhappily.

This woman, what does she take it for?

It is a real Fool, the most talented cat writer in the history of the Metropolitan City. It is not comparable to those mediocre women who can only act cute and beg for support.

"The foolish God is so stingy."

Hiashikibu pouted.

"I'm stingy, I'm stingy and you've become a cover now."

The black cat said unhappily.

Not to mention the quarrel between the man and the cat, Liu Zheng and the novelist have already walked out of the "Feather Pen" Club.

The moonlight spreads on the road, just as beautiful as the atmosphere at the moment.

"Senior, actually..."

After walking in silence for more than a hundred meters, the novelist finally couldn't help but speak.

"I know."

Liu Zheng interrupted her.

"Huh? Why?"

The novelist asked subconsciously.

Although there was an accident, she thought that there was no problem with her and Hiashikibu's acting skills.

"Your friend's performance to me was quite natural, but to you it was too much of an acting performance."

Liu Zheng said calmly.

He was an orphan and worked as a journalist when he grew up. His ability to read people's expressions is much better than that of ordinary people.

The novelist lowered his head somewhat embarrassedly.

"I was deceived so badly by you, shouldn't you compensate me?"

Liu Zheng didn't embarrass her for too long and spoke directly.

"Of course, Senior, you can compensate me in any way you want."

The novelist said immediately.

"Unless I help you get another woman."

After a pause, she added.

"What are you talking about? It's as if everyone I know is an outlaw."

Liu Zheng rolled his eyes and said.

Nightingale can only be considered as assisting the investigation. His acquaintances, including himself, are all very law-abiding.

"So what did Senior ask me to compensate you for? I'm available these few days."

The novelist glanced at Liu Zheng.

Unfortunately, his whole body was slipping and he couldn't be hooked at all.

"Can you help me cancel a wanted warrant?"

Liu Zheng asked directly.

"Male and female?"

the novelist asked warily.

"male."

"Oh, then please tell me more about it, Senior."

The novelist relaxed a little.

"His name is Shajiang, also known as the Fire Mage or the Man Who Touches the Bear a Few Times. Of course, the names on the wanted posters may not be these."

"Anyway, his crime is that he killed the deputy director of the City Hall's Environmental Sanitation Department and the councilman from the Jordan family."

He said.

"Oh, I know who you are talking about now."

the novelist said immediately.

That incident caused quite a stir. After all, no one had dared to take action against an official of this level for many years.

If the Public Security Bureau had not already found out that the incident was purely accidental and the murderer was not targeting the City Hall, it would not be as simple as a wanted warrant.

At least the Public Security Bureau was mobilized in full force, and the special operations team swept the area from the old city to the border area, taking away all the stones on the road for interrogation.

"Can that be undone?"

Liu Zheng asked expectantly.

Although the fisherman also gave a solution, firstly, it was rather cumbersome, and secondly, he was a man of the old times after all, so his solution might not be useful.

“It’s not easy.”

The novelist shook his head in embarrassment.

Their family has no direct and effective connections in the Sheriff's Bureau. They can ask a familiar congressman to help rescue someone, but they are unable to directly revoke the wanted warrant.

The main reason is that since she decided to give up the short story field, her family's support for her has decreased a lot, otherwise they would not have moved to an ordinary community like Green Osmanthus Garden Crazy City.

Of course, Crazy City is not really an ordinary neighborhood.

As far as the novelist knows, there are quite a few eccentrics from various families and races living there, and she is considered to be a well-behaved person there.

"What if I can gain the forgiveness of the Environmental Sanitation Department and weaken the Jordan family's power?"

Liu Zheng told the novelist the fisherman's method.

"If you can do these two things, then it's possible. I'll ask someone to talk to the Sheriff's Bureau, and there shouldn't be any problems."

She thought for a moment and said.

"Okay, I'll let you know then."

Liu Zheng said.

"Do you need my help with the Jordan family's affairs?"

the novelist asked.

"Let me try it myself first, and I'll tell you if I can't do it."

"By the way, can your keyboard copy the five virtue characters on my body?"

He said as he remembered.

"Yes, you can, but you can only copy a few glyphs, and only one word at a time."

"That's okay too."

Liu Zheng nodded.

The Five Virtues characters should be of great help in the evolution of the French Plane Tree into a Phoenix. Since Si Xue does not allow him to transfer it, he can only copy it. No matter how bad the effect is, it will always be better.

"Okay. So which word do you want to copy, Senior?"

the novelist asked.

"Just the word 'faith'."

He thought for a moment and said.

The plane tree has absolutely nothing to do with the words "virtue" and "benevolence", and the word "righteousness" seems to have little to do with it either. Only the word "faith" seems to have some relevance.

After all, it can't even tell lies, so every time we do business with it, we are honest.

"Okay, senior."

This time, the novelist took out the keyboard from his clothes, pulled out the "Ctrl" and "C" keys, and pressed them on Liu Zheng's belly.

The incident happened suddenly and he didn't even have time to put on his clothes.

The novelist felt the scorching heat on his abdominal muscles and his face turned red.

Liu Zheng looked up at the sky. The moon was really bright today. "By the way, after copying the word 'faith', the Dragon Clan I just wrote won't be overwritten, right?"

He suddenly remembered and asked.

"No, Senior. The Dragon Tribe is already stored in the keyboard."

The novelist said.

"That's good."

He doesn't want to suffer again.

Perhaps because it was not a copy of Liu Zheng’s own memory, the burning pain this time was much lighter.

Soon, the novelist reluctantly let go of his hand.

"That's all, Senior. Just press these two buttons on the appropriate carrier and you can paste the word '信' on it."

She handed the "Ctrl" key and the "V" key to Liu Zheng.

"Okay, I'll give it back to you next time we meet."

"Senior, won't you let me take you back? The metropolis is still quite dangerous at night."

The novelist suggested.

"That's okay too."

He had no intention of refusing at all.

If you have a free bodyguard, don’t miss it.

He is not even a complete human being now, so what dignity does he need to have as a man?

However, Liu Zheng did not let the novelist take him directly to the restaurant, but went to Rose Street first.

As soon as we entered Rose Street, the plane trees looked over here, and countless tree roots broke through the ground, ready to take off.

The plane trees are more sensitive at night than during the day.

After seeing clearly that it was Liu Zheng, it retracted the tree roots, but its eyes were still full of vigilance.

But it was not directed at Liu Zheng, but at the novelists around him.

"Then please wait for me here for a while."

Liu Zheng said to the novelist.

"Okay, senior."

The novelist responded obediently.

As Liu Zheng walked forward, she was looking at the plane trees from a distance.

The novelist has heard of this tree because the origin of the plane tree is a mystery.

Although all trees in the metropolis have the potential to develop intelligence, in reality only a few species have sufficient talent.

As for the plane trees, there is no record of them giving birth to intelligence in the history of the metropolis.

Even according to scholars' research, they have the worst talents among all trees.

But this plane tree just happened to be born with intelligence, and its thinking is quite lively, even close to that of humans.

If the city hall hadn't issued some notice, it would have been caught and sliced ​​into pieces for research.

The novelist knows more. The reason why this tree's intelligence was born should be related to the Chaos Club.

The City Hall's attitude towards anything related to the Chaos Club has always been to deal with anything that is confirmed to be risky, ban anything that is suspected to be risky, and observe anything that is judged to be risk-free.

Trees that give birth to spiritual intelligence are very rare "human resources" and are very useful for purifying filth or suppressing disorder.

Therefore, usually once a tree develops intelligence, it will be quickly incorporated into the city hall.

However, the plane trees were left here by the City Hall, neither dealt with nor incorporated, which is in line with the City Hall's principles for handling matters related to the Chaos Club.

Such an unstable factor has established a relationship with the predecessor, and it seems that the relationship is very close. This is obviously not a good thing.

Whether the senior was punished by the city hall or was contaminated with something strange that she couldn't eat, it was a big bad thing.

It seems that I have to work harder to make my senior realize that she is the only one he can rely on and form a bond with.

Thousands of thoughts flashed through the novelist's mind, transforming into a smile that shook the branches of the plane trees.

"Idiot human, who told you to bring outsiders here?"

As soon as Liu Zheng approached, French Plantain Tree began to question him.

"She is not an outsider. I am your friend, she is my friend, so if we round it off, she is also your friend."

he said with a smile.

"Zut! Who is friends with her? The way she looks at me is more vicious than a chainsaw."

The plane tree complained.

"It must be because it was too dark and you didn't see it right."

Liu Zheng said perfunctorily.

"I don't care, you make that woman leave quickly, or I will attack her."

The plane tree said viciously.

Just because it trembles doesn't mean it's really scared.

On this street, there aren't many things that the plane trees are afraid of.

If the Hounds of Tindalos hadn't killed one and brought a bunch of them, it wouldn't have been scared by Liu Zheng's use of Tindalos.

"Are you sure? If she leaves, all the good stuff will be gone."

Liu Zheng said leisurely.

"Not interested, let her go."

The plane tree said unhappily.

Not only did he plot against its collection, he also brought his mistress with him.

What? Treat it as a landscape tree.

"Okay, then don't say I didn't remind you."

He said this and was about to turn and leave.

"Wait a minute, what's the good stuff?"

The plane tree finally couldn't resist its curiosity.

"See for yourself."

Liu Zheng demonstrated the "Ctrl" key and the "V" key.

"La vache! Give it to me, give it to me!"

The plane tree opened its eyes wide and stretched its wooden hands forward like a drowning person trying to grab a lifeline.

"You just said you weren't interested."

He raised his eyebrows.

"I'm interested again now. What, do you have any objection?"

The plane tree glared.

A thick tree root stretched out under Liu Zheng, eager to try.

"No problem. Go ahead."

He held out the "Ctrl" and "V" keys.

"Wait a minute, what do you want to change first?"

The plane tree said warily.

In terms of market value, this replica of the word "信" is far less valuable than the limited edition of Vlad III, and is at most equivalent to two bottles of Ascension Moss.

But the value of the replica of the word "信" is too great for it. Not to mention anything else, the incubation time for it to evolve into a phoenix can be shortened by more than half.

As for other benefits, the plane tree cannot feel them now, but there must be many.

The Vlad III limited edition is just a hobby, and it costs the price of a legendary vest.

Then for the replica of the word "faith", a treasure that concerns life and future, it will pay only more.

Therefore, the plane tree must ask clearly, so that the cost will not exceed its ability to bear.

"Uh, I didn't actually want to change anything."

Liu Zheng spread out his tentacles.

The replica of the word "信" was originally an unexpected gain, so there is nothing wrong with using it as a gift for the tree.

"No, you have to change something!"

The French plane tree said loudly.

Free things are the most expensive. Idiot human beings dare to give it things for free now, but they will surely let it die in the future.

"Then let's keep a record of it first. I really can't think of anything to change right now."

Liu Zheng said after thinking for a while.

The task at hand either already has the corresponding props, or is so complicated that it cannot be solved by just one prop.

So it’s better to keep this plan and come up with it when the need arises.

"Well, considering that you and I signed a contract, I reluctantly agreed."

The plane tree said in embarrassment, and then his expression changed immediately.

"Hurry, hurry, cover my tree rings with your stuff~"

It opened its mouth, revealing a bottomless black hole inside.
