Shocking! The young educated youth had just arrived and was already clashing with spies.

Zhou Yichen didn't expect that just by reporting a case, he would come back with a lawsuit on his head.

The police station chief looked as if he had seen a savior, and there was no way he could ignore it.

So as soon as he returned to the guesthouse, he went straight to Chu Xin, trying to make a quick decision so as not to delay their mission.

Chu Xin didn't feel too surprised after hearing the news Zhou Yichen brought back.

"Okay, let's go now!"

The two men didn't call Chu Yunting, but drove directly along the same road they came from.

After half an hour,

The car stopped right in front of the gate of the deserted courtyard. The glaring headlights shone on the old and dilapidated gate, creating the atmosphere of a haunted house.

Chu Xin and the other person got out of the car and looked around.

The night was as dark as ink, tightly enveloping everything in sight.

The gate was half standing and half fallen down. Occasionally, a mountain breeze blew through, making a creaking sound of wood rubbing against each other.

Chu Xin turned on the flashlight and walked into the door first.

Whatever was outside the gate had basically been trampled down, so there was nothing to see.

The yard was overgrown with weeds, some of which were even taller than a person's head. There were also some untrimmed trees that covered most of the doors and windows of the house, making it look even more eerie.

Chu Xin clicked her tongue. Those Little Red Guards were indeed very bold. Who among normal people would come here to seek a sense of existence?

Zhou Yichen also followed, "This yard is really big."

Chu Xin nodded. She had used her mental power to investigate and found that there were no other living creatures inside except snakes, insects, rats and ants.

It seems that the problem is with some dead object.

The two of them walked along the overgrown path and found a small flower bed at the end of the path that turned onto the corridor. There was a peony in it with buds that were actually blooming.

Chu Xin couldn't help but keep his eyes on it for a little longer.

Zhou Yichen also found it strange.

"It's October now, and the temperature has dropped. Normally, the growth of plants will slow down, and they will wither and shed their leaves.

This peony actually still has buds. Could it be a rare species?"

Chu Xin glanced at the ground covered with dead branches and fallen leaves again without leaving any trace, thinking to herself,

Maybe it is a rare species, but if it still has green leaves and new flowers in this season, it must be inseparable from the corpses buried in the jar.

As expected, the Japanese devils in the Sakura Country don’t do anything human!

She turned to look at Zhou Yichen,

“When we get back, let’s ask the police to dig up this peony tree and take a look.

I've heard some strange stories that plants grow more luxuriantly where the dead are buried."

"Are you saying there's something wrong under this peony tree?..."

Zhou Yichen reacted as he spoke, his face suddenly darkening.

"okay, I get it!"

Come to think of it, there's nothing impossible about this.

After liberation, many lands were re-excavated for cultivation. It was normal to dig out corpses from the shallow surface of the soil!

Seeing that he had thought of it, Chu Xin didn't say anything else.

I just had to withdraw my mental strength quickly, otherwise my brain would explode.

The two men made sure that there was nothing unusual in the front yard before continuing to walk inside.

Before coming, Zhou Yichen had inquired about the details from the police and knew exactly where the incident occurred.

"We went to the backyard to look for them. The police said they were mainly there to destroy the ancestral hall and the Buddhist temple."

Chu Xin nodded and continued walking along the desolate and dilapidated path, stepping on dead branches to the backyard.

People in ancient times paid attention to the artistic beauty of "winding paths leading to secluded places", but they never imagined that if no one took care of them and pruned them, those beautiful things would only grow wildly and be so crowded that the path would almost disappear.

Soon the two of them saw the two places mentioned by the police.

A plaque with the words "Fuhui Shuangxiu Hall" written on it was smashed and thrown at the door of a house that looked like a palace.

Chu Xin and Zhou Yichen decided to go in and explore the Buddhist temple first.

Everything in the Buddhist hall had been smashed clean, and there was almost nothing intact left. The two men looked around and made sure there was nothing suspicious before coming out.

Then we went to the ancestral hall not far away.

Chu Xin did not use her mental power and walked one step slower than Zhou Yichen. When she arrived at the entrance of the ancestral hall, she found that Zhou Yichen was looking at a dead tree that was so thick that three people could hug it.

Seeing Chu Xin coming over, he said, "This tree looks a little strange. The color of the trunk is a little different."

Chu Xin walked over and circled the tree. His eyes lingered on a place with a slight color difference, and then he frowned.

It's not strange, this is just a half-true and half-false tree.

In later generations, there are many man-made adventure rainforests in large amusement parks, with many lifelike artificial trees.

Of course, most of them are fake at first glance and not very confusing.

Zhou Yichen had never seen those things before, and in such a dark night, he was able to discover that something was wrong with the tree in the first place. He was really observant.

Chu Xin stretched out her hand and groped up and down the areas of different colors.

The person who made this tree is really clever. Most of the trunk, including the branches, are real, only an area on one side that is about the width of a person is fake.

It is also very realistic, even the uneven bark texture on the tree trunk is well connected.

But fake is fake. The fake painted side will fade due to long-term exposure to wind and sun.

Although it is only slight, people with keen eyes will notice the slight difference.

Just when Chu Xin was about to remind Zhou Yichen what was strange, her fingers suddenly felt something sticky.

Her fingers paused and rubbed that place twice. It was not an illusion.

Chu Xin immediately shone the flashlight over there and found that there seemed to be a palm-sized area there, glowing under the light.

Zhou Yichen noticed Chu Xin's pause and came over immediately. He first noticed that there was a sticky, transparent substance on Chu Xin's fingers.

"what is this?"

As he spoke, he leaned in and sniffed. A faint sour smell drifted past his nose. When he wanted to confirm it again, the smell turned into the smell of paint and a faint stench of decay.

Zhou Yichen's brows were furrowed, he had a hunch that this was not a good thing.

Chu Xin just looked up at the man, holding her own hand and sniffing it under her nose, feeling indescribably obscene.

"Have you smelled enough?!"

Zhou Yichen was stunned for a moment, then realized how embarrassed he was. He quickly let go of Chu Xin's hand and covered up by touching the place she had just touched.

"This looks like paint?"

The strange thing is that the sticky feeling on the tree trunk is gone, and the rough and uneven bark of the tree trunk is felt under my hands.

Chu Xin also rubbed her fingers vigorously twice, and the sticky stuff on her hands had dried, so she also put her fingers close and smelled them.

This smell is the smell of paint!

I immediately understood that someone must have repainted the dead tree before they came.

But at the beginning, he was startled by the headlights of the car, and the man slipped away first.

Chu Xin just thought about it,

Zhou Yichen seemed to suddenly remember something, grabbed her hand and started to touch the things on it.

"This stuff is poisonous!"
