In those days of Plants vs. Zombies

Chapter 479 A Small Opening

"Owner, what took you so long?"

Seeing Mo Chen walk out of the tall grass, Ford, who had been waiting for a long time, couldn't hold back his curiosity and immediately stepped forward to ask.

After all, among all the plant spirit warriors, only Ford, who has a lively personality, would be so "offensive".

However, seeing Ford step forward, the other plant spirit warriors all cast curious glances at him.

They also wanted to know why Mo Chen, who always pursued efficiency, was slower than everyone else this time.

"Oh, I found a great treasure."

Mo Chen's expression was mysterious, as if he was afraid that others would not be able to see his complacency that was difficult to conceal.

Under the expectant gaze of everyone, he raised his left hand.

Yes, the left hand. In the eyes of several plant spirit warriors, every finger of the left hand was empty.

The plant spirit warriors looked at each other, and the expectation on their faces gradually turned into confusion.

After a moment of silence, Nata, fearing to disturb the owner's interest, said cautiously: "You said... good baby?"

"Yeah, good baby."

Mo Chen nodded vigorously, and even deliberately retracted four fingers, leaving only the ring finger of his left hand.

Si Bo Ke widened his eyes, Anton scratched his head, and Himiko held her forehead again, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Seeing the plant spirit warriors in this state, Mo Chen, who was originally complacent, also realized that something was wrong.

Finally, Ford, who was outspoken, said, "Owner, if the treasure you are talking about is in your left hand, we can't see anything!"

As soon as these words came out, it was like a bolt of lightning, hitting Mo Chen's brain directly.

He blinked, then asked in disbelief: "Didn't you see? There is a ring on my left hand?"

Himiko looked confused: "Ring? What ring?"

"A silver ring with a pink heart-shaped gem on it. It's on my left ring finger. Can't you see it?"

Mo Chen described the appearance of the ring in detail, but several plant spirit warriors still said that they saw nothing.

"That's really weird. I can clearly see it, right?"

Mo Chen looked down at the ring on his left hand with a puzzled expression.

Ji Bing, who was standing not far away, had a tense face and glanced here from time to time, trying her best to maintain the reservedness of an "iceberg beauty".

Until, the Snow Buried Frost Feather in her arms trembled slightly a few times.

"Ling, what's the matter?"

Ji Bing was slightly startled, and Xuezang Shuangling's voice soon rang in her mind:

"There seems to be a very strange power in your owner."

"Strange power... Are you referring to the ring that the owner mentioned?"

Ji Bing looked at Mo Chen again, and was sure that there was absolutely no ring on the latter's left hand.

"What you see with your eyes is not reality."

The Snow Burial Frost Feathers emitted a faint blue light, mobilizing the plant spiritual power in Ji Bing's body to operate autonomously and bless her eyes.

In Ji Bing's sight, an exquisite ring suddenly appeared on Mo Chen's left ring finger, which was originally empty.

The heart-shaped gem was also emitting pink light.

Ji Bing murmured to himself: "There really is a ring..."

Xuezang Shuangling explained: "That strange power gave the ring a layer of cognitive barrier. Only the maker and holder of the ring can see the ring."

"Then...why can we see?"

"It's simple. I and the ring possess the same power, which comes from the origin of the world and touches upon the rules of the world."

After hearing what Xuezang Shuangling said, Ji Bing felt a little unbelievable: "Is it from the same origin as the Twelve Swords?"

“Yes, the Twelve Swords are related to the natural rules of the modern world, but the rules of the modern world do not only involve a single natural force.

The so-called "authority of sin" was born around the seven emotions and six desires of intelligent beings, that is, emotions and desires."

"Big sin... Authority?"

Ji Bing seemed to have some impression of the term proposed by Xuezang Shuangling: "I remember that there was a plant spirit hero codenamed 'Bawang Dazuihua' in the Federation..."

“Yes, she is one of the publicly known holders of the Sin Authority, holding the Sin Authority “Gluttony”.

The power of gluttony grants this plant spirit hero the ability to devour everything endlessly, but it also forces her to endure the pain of hunger forever.

There are ten powers of sin, five of which are born from desire, four are entangled in emotions, and one is between desire and emotion.

Unlike our drawn swords that have almost no cost to use, the power of sin grants its holder power but also forces them to bear an equal price.

The negative outweighs the positive, which is why this force is called 'Sin.'"

The popular science introduction of Snow Buried Frost Feathers introduced in detail the origin and nature of the power of sin, allowing Ji Bing, the young sword protector, to understand more secrets of the modern world.

"Is the power attached to that ring from the power of sin?"

Ji Bing looked at Mo Chen, who was still wondering why others couldn't see the ring, with a hint of worry in his tone.

"Yes, that power comes from the power of sin, but... I don't detect any malice in the ring.

It seems to be just an ornament that can soothe the spirit, increase charm, and serve as a medium of communication when necessary.

But what is certain is that the maker of this ring is a holder of the power of sin."

Ji Bing felt a little relieved by Xuezang Shuangling's explanation, but she soon raised a new question:

"Then from which great sin authority does the power of this ring come?"

Pink, ring, comfort, charm...

Combining these key words together, there seems to be something wrong with the nature of this great sin’s authority!

Xuezang Shuangling suddenly fell silent. Obviously, he had the same idea as Ji Bing.

······

After confirming again and again, Mo Chen was sure that, except himself, other plant spirit warriors (except Ji Bing) could not see the ring on his hand.

The good mood of finding a treasure disappeared in an instant.

But he quickly regrouped and returned to his best form.

After taking a deep look at the ring on his hand, Mo Chen put away his curiosity and called a group of plant spirit warriors:

"Keep moving forward and try to find a place to rest before dark."

"Understood, owner."

The six plant spirit warriors saluted one after another and then quickened their pace.

The group of people from Manor No. 5905 gradually went away, and the tall grass under the overpass gradually returned to calm.

Suddenly, a human hand appeared out of nowhere from the tall grass, tearing open a rift in time and space.

Following closely behind was a young man with brown hair, an ordinary face and wearing a pair of sunglasses.

He looked down at the ground, where a ring had once been.

And now, the ground is empty.

"Gambler, what you asked me to do has been completed."

Pushing up his sunglasses, the young man turned on his portable terminal.

A figure appeared on the terminal screen, and the white paper with the east wind drawn on his face was still so conspicuous.

"Thank you so much, Mr. 'Traveling Log', who is famous for being able to travel through time and space at will.

As a plant spirit hero, it is really eye-opening that a big shot like you is willing to cooperate with a federal wanted criminal like me."

A slightly teasing voice came from the portable terminal, and a hint of impatience appeared on Traveling Log's face.

"Stop talking nonsense and remember to transfer the agreed payment to my card."

"Don't worry, Mr. Traveling Log."

Dong Feng raised the corners of his mouth slightly under the mask: "Are you sure that the item... has been taken away by 'him' without any mistake?"

Traveling Log nodded and said, "Yes, I saw it with my own eyes. 'He' put on the ring."

"Very good, very good. The script is indeed correct. Thank you for your guest appearance on the stage, Mr. Traveling Log. I wish you a pleasant journey next time."

After hanging up the phone, Yingyu put away the cynical smile on his face, weighed the wallet full of world points in his hand, and walked out of the room.

At the end of the magnificent corridor, the sound of chips colliding could be heard.

The continuous shouts of the gamblers, mixed with the seductive greetings of the beautiful dealers, made people feel physically uncomfortable.

This is the largest illegal underground casino in War Zone 59, located deep in the air-raid shelter area.

A few chips fell onto the table and rolled into the towering mountain of chips.

"It's time for a little opening here."
