The whole room fell silent, and each of the seven landowners stared at him, their eyes widened to the extreme.
"What did you say?"
"Have you seen the young lady?"
"The carriage derailed in the inter-city tunnel. Even if a great scientist had walked up three steps, there was no way he could have survived inside! Are you sure the young lady is still alive?"
Pang Ming said calmly: "I'm sure."
"Where's the evidence?"
"This is an orchid leaf. I found it in the home of the tax collector whose family was exterminated. It is not an ordinary orchid, but a special variety carefully cultivated by a biologist using rules."
Pang Ming raised his head and placed the piece of leaf fragment in the center of the table. Every landlord’s eyes lit up when he heard this, and their faces began to become excited and nervous, because everyone understood what the special variety of orchid in Zhulan represented!
That was the good news the young lady brought back in the third year after being sent to the college. She was noticed by the biology professor in the college and accepted as a student. In less than a year, she had already mastered the basic rules related to biological plants and even cultivated a special variety of orchid!
Bamboo and orchid are both extremely important plants for this city. Although the biological characteristics of orchids are prone to mutation, it is difficult to assign any rules to them, and there has never been a successful case before.
A special plant cultivated by the descendants of the Qi family that can represent the entire city has made the young lady's identity as the heir unshakable!
The orchid has also become a symbol of the young lady. Its presence means that the young lady is still there!
For a moment, the breathing of the other seven people in the room became heavy, and the landlords who had stood up to argue slowly sat back down to their original seats.
The root cause of their conflict is that they have lost their backbone and no one to support them. Now that the young lady is not dead, the situation has naturally become different.
"But if the young lady is not dead, why doesn't she show up? No one is more qualified to succeed the throne than her. As long as she is willing to show up, there will definitely be no opposition from Lanting."
Some large landowners raised questions.
Pang Ming tapped the table with his fingers, attracting the attention of the landlords again.
"The tax collector whose entire family was killed was Qi Zicheng's distant cousin."
Some people showed realization on their faces, having figured out the key to the matter.
"It is very likely that the young lady was assassinated on the train. She escaped and wanted to take revenge on her own!"
"Not only that."
Pang Ming showed a smile that seemed like he knew everything.
"I guess the young lady has most likely discovered the truth behind the chairman's sudden death! She deliberately let everyone think she was dead, but she actually wanted to hide in the dark and investigate and solve this matter herself!"
"Then what are we going to do?"
The seven landlords who were originally arguing with each other now all looked at Pang Ming.
"Delay! We must delay! Before the young lady finishes her work in the dark, we must not let those two gangs determine the position of the new chairman!"
Chapter 91 I'm narrow-minded
"Has that mentally ill lowlife been dealt with?"
"Solved. The team leader personally ordered that he be used as fertilizer for plants. As expected, special recruits are special recruits. They have no brains at all. They came to us and actually questioned the correctness of our cultivation of these plants."
"Oh, that's why they are called beasts. They can never enter the door of science. If you want to master the secrets of the truth of this world and walk on the road of rules, you should have an absolutely rational mind. Sympathy is unnecessary, and old and backward morality is just a constraint."
"So these students who were specially recruited by the academy and are only fit to be laboratory donkeys are all lowly animals. If they can't see this, they will never be real scientists."
"The biological man from the sun not long ago turned out to be the only exception. I heard that he mastered physics before his death, otherwise he wouldn't have killed the entire solar council."
"He couldn't die any more. He was nothing more than a donkey that stuck its head out of the mill and was frightened to death by the bright sunlight outside."
In a secret greenhouse set up by the Zhulan Botanical Bureau near Ganguo Village, two researchers in white coats and masks were recording the growth of plants carrying pathogens in the greenhouse while chatting about recent trivial matters.
Just as they were talking about this topic, they were about to go down and pick the newly cultivated pathogenic plants to verify their effectiveness.
A sickle was swung high and appeared behind them at some point!
"puff!"
The blade of the sickle was full of notches and was not sharp, but with the help of such tremendous force, it was able to directly chop off the head of one of the researchers!
"Boom!"
The round head fell to the ground, and the headless corpse that was still there was already bleeding like a column!
The warm blood sprayed on the face of another dazed researcher. At this time, a voice as calm as water sounded in his ears.
"Call me a donkey? I'm a petty person."
Before the surviving researcher could even turn around, his head separated from his body!
The two heads rolled down together, and the bodies fell down leaning against each other, but their eyes, still open in death, could only look at each other from afar.
Levi spat on the ground.
He was not so mean as to insult a corpse. It was just that two drops of blood splashed into his mouth, making him smell a fishy smell.
He tore off the white laboratory coat from a headless corpse and wiped the blood off the blade of the sickle.
When he turned around, he saw Bai Li who had just returned with the orchid and a pot of dandelion-like plant in her arms. He was looking at the two headless corpses on the ground with a look of shock on his face.
"You really killed them all!"
She and Levi had just split up, with Levi attracting the attention of other people in the greenhouse while she went to collect the highest-level samples of the pathogenic plants.
These ordinary samples cannot cause special plants to become sick and die.
But when she successfully returned with the things, she discovered that all the six researchers and two security guards who stayed in the secret greenhouse had their heads chopped off and were lying in a pool of blood!
Bai Li looked at Levi with a confused look on her face. She wondered if there was something wrong with her ability to understand the language.
Distracting other people's attention = killing everyone?
Levi disagreed.
Among the six researchers staying in this greenhouse, two are scientists who have mastered the laws of biology.
However, not only are they only at the first level, but they are also more research-oriented and not good at fighting at all.
There was almost no difference between Levi dealing with them and dealing with ordinary people; it was basically just a matter of one sword strike.
Bai Li didn't understand all this. She just felt that Levi's behavior was becoming more and more mysterious.
He obviously doesn't look like a cold-blooded person, but he kills people as skillfully and swiftly as a farmer harvesting rice in the autumn.
If he says to kill the whole family, he kills the whole family. If he says to kill everyone, he kills everyone. He never talks big and never drags his feet.
Moreover, he obviously has no sense of belonging or identification with those upper-class people who claim to be superior. But if he does not have such a sense of identification, how did he become a scientist?
This sense of mystery filled Levi's body, making him even more unpredictable.
But Bai Li doesn't hate this mystery. Everyone has secrets, and so does she.
Sometimes, it doesn’t matter what secrets someone has hidden, what matters is what this person has done.
At least from now on, everything Levi does is to her liking.
These blood-sucking bastards should all be killed!
Levi left the greenhouse with the diseased plants and started a fire, setting the entire greenhouse on fire. Then he conscientiously left a line of words in blood on the ground not far from the fire.
【The murderer, Zhao Wei】
This time, Bai Li finally didn't shamelessly add her own name at the end.
Because this time she didn't kill anyone, she just got the things.
The flames that shot up into the sky engulfed all the plants and corpses in the greenhouse. After lighting the fire, Levi left in the opposite direction without looking back.
"What else do we need to prepare now?"
"This plant is not yet fully mature. I need to transplant it first and cultivate it until it is fully mature before it can be useful."
Levi took a look at the potted plant that looked a bit like a large dandelion in Bai Li's arms, and asked with a frown.
"Approximately how long will it take?"
"Don't worry, I'm a top student in the biology department of the college, and I'm very familiar with ripening. Two days, at most, will be enough."
Her words finally made Levi's brows relax again. He could still wait for two days.
So, they found an empty house in Ganguo Village and temporarily lived there. Bai Li was cultivating the pathogenic plant that had not yet fully matured, and Levi also had some free time to carefully check the reputation he had gained after killing the tax collector's family.
This case was widely spread because it involved Lanting’s current factional struggle.
Even in the rural areas, which were usually isolated from information about the urban areas, the names of the two murderers, "Zhao Wei" and "Bai Li", began to spread.
The communication effect was too good, far exceeding Levi's initial expectations.
Although he didn't know that it was the Chief of Police Pang Ming who fanned the flames, he could guess that something must have gone wrong, otherwise a mere tax collector would not be worthy of the attention of those bigwigs.
This made Levi smack his lips. He sighed at his luck in his heart, while he called up the player information and looked at the value in the reputation line.
Chapter 92 Reputation
【Reputation: 0.7242/100】
Looking at the reputation growth to four decimal places, Levi frowned and fell into deep thought.
If he found a way to upgrade quickly in the beginning when he was in the Suns, it is now obvious that he has fallen into a misunderstanding.
Reputation: A name that is highly regarded and expected by the public.
This reputation must be big, but it must also be positive.
With Levi's killing method, he is destined to have no positive reputation, just like in the sun.
Public opinion is completely controlled by the upper class, and he only kills those who are rich and powerful in the upper class. In the end, he may only end up with a reputation as a "murderer" and will have no reputation at all.
As for the slight increase, Levi suspected that the people in Hongzi Village and several other villages under the charge of this tax collector were grateful to him.
But if you think about it carefully, there are quite a few people in those villages, several thousand at most, but they have not yet allowed his progress to break through 1.
This inevitably leads to another question: if a person's reputation is quantified into a number, then how much reputation can each of these farmers below be quantified?
After thinking about this, Levi didn't just sit there.
Instead, he walked out and planned to do an experiment himself.
He walked around Ganguo Village twice. During the day, most farmers were working in the fields. Those who stayed at home were either women looking after their children or the elderly, the weak and the disabled.
Farmers are very poor. Unless they are the breadwinner of the family, other family members are reluctant to spend money to see a doctor if they fall ill.
Those who are older and can no longer work basically suffer from minor illnesses and wait to die from major illnesses.
In Ganguo Village alone, a small village with only dozens of households, there are three people lying at home sick and waiting to die.
Levi pushed open the door of one of the houses.
The rest of the family, including the children, had gone to work in the fields, leaving only an elderly man in his 40s lying on the bed, looking emaciated and coughing constantly.
The room smelled terrible, a mixture of mold and urine.
Hearing the sound at the door, the old man on the bed turned around in confusion and looked at the figure who walked in with his back to the light.
Levi didn't waste any words. He took out a stack of money from his pocket, about ten thousand each, and placed it on the old man's bedside.
"Zhao Wei asked me to send this money to you for your medical treatment."
There was no surprise in the old man's numb and turbid eyes, but rather some fear.
"Zhao Zhaowei? Which master is he? Does he have a crush on anyone in our family?"
"Zhao Wei is not a master, he is a murderer. He just killed a tax collector in the city yesterday and robbed his family of money. He has no interest in the money and can't spend it, so he asked me to give it to other people in need."
The old man obviously didn't dare to believe what he said. He had suffered so much in his life that he had never had any illusions about pie falling from the sky.
But after seeing Levi finish his words, put the money on his bedside, patted it and turned away, no matter how suspicious he was, he was now only excited.
He stretched out his trembling hand and touched the rough surface of the banknote. The real texture made him realize clearly that he was not dreaming.
"cough cough"
He was coughing violently, as if he was going to cough out his lungs, but his face was full of smiles.
"My grandson has candy to eat! My daughter-in-law can change into new clothes! My son can have a day off."
