Chapter 143: Coincidence of 132? (Thank you to the Alliance Hierarch who is also a teary-eyed devil)

Li Chengyi was not surprised, as he had previously collected this Flower Language Ability in the greenhouse quite some time ago.

This ability was very suitable for investigation and intelligence gathering. But in the Blind Spot, he urgently needed a Flower Language that could greatly enhance his overall strength, so he had not considered it before.

After gently teasing the white chrysanthemum petals a few times, Li Chengyi was about to stand up when suddenly, he noticed the soil in the flowerpot was a light green.

’Why is the soil a bit green?’ He frowned slightly as knowledge points rapidly flashed through his mind.

’Looks like nutrient solution?’

He reached out to grab some and sniffed it under his nose.

It was indeed nutrient solution.

Convinced there was no issue, he put the soil back and was about to turn and leave.

’Wait a minute!’

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning streaked through his mind.

It was a scene from touching the Feilian in the Silent Store.

’Feilian itself was not an original plant species, but a state of pollution.

Although I don’t know how this pollution came about. But... can I artificially create similar variants? What exactly are the specific differences and boundaries of a variant?

If I plant a plant from the north in the south, with the environment and climate completely changed, would that also count as a variant??’

’And... the things I brought out from the Silent Store... could they... also be diluted and used as nutrients for the plants?’

Thinking of this, a hint of anticipation faintly rose in Li Chengyi’s heart.

Those products were all very odd and varied, including even a bottle named Shadow of Resentment’s blood.

The moment he thought of this, he immediately rushed towards the bedroom upstairs.

All those items were stored on the upper floor.

The few people on the first floor watched him dash upstairs, all with puzzled faces.

Before they could even ask, Li Chengyi was already carrying a bag of things, rushing back down.

The others exchanged glances.

Soon, Li Chengyi had brought the items to the white chrysanthemums.

He thought for a moment, then first took out the bottle of Shadow of Resentment blood, which he had always been worried could be hazardous and dared not use.

This bottle was the first item he had bought from the Silent Store, and it had been stored in a corner of his room, unused.

But now... it was time for it to show its value!

He found a large basin, washed it clean, and then poured in distilled water.

This was to avoid the other impurities in tap water affecting the outcome.

A total of three large bottles of distilled water went in.

Li Chengyi looked around, making sure no one was there.

He then took out the Shadow of Resentment blood, gently opened the bottle cap, and poured a drop into another prepared small cup.

The thick, black viscous liquid slowly stretched from the edge of the bottle, like melting oil, and a drop fell into the glass.

Before it disappeared.

Li Chengyi quickly raised his hand and bit his finger, dropping blood into it.

But it was still a step too late, the Shadow of Resentment blood had already turned to black smoke and vanished.

Li Chengyi’s blood droplet hit the bottom of the glass, and nothing happened alone.

Despite the failure, he was not in a hurry; he directly poured some distilled water in, diluting his blood a bit.

Then, he picked up the Shadow of Resentment blood vial again and slowly let a drop fall into the water mixed with blood.

Plop.

The pitch-black blood plummeted into the colorless water.

Although the water was mixed with Li Chengyi’s blood, it was too little to be noticeable.

This time, the Shadow of Resentment blood did not dissipate but spread out slowly like ink.

In just a few minutes, the entire cup of water turned a light black color.

Li Chengyi picked it up, swirled it around, and smiled contentedly.

This time it didn’t vanish, proving the content in Zhong Hui’s notes was indeed effective.

He then gently poured the contents of the cup into the large basin in front of him.

Soon, the entire basin of water turned a faint gray color.

After rinsing the cup clean, Li Chengyi brought several pots of chrysanthemums and scooped some water to water them.

Then he called over the maintenance personnel for the automatic irrigation system of the botanical garden.

"Set up a separate sprinkler head in this area to sprinkle this new nutrient solution I’ve mixed."

"This... What if it kills the plants?" the worker was a honest-looking technician with thick glasses. He was young and a recent college graduate.

"No worries, it’s just one sprinkler head. I want to try the effect of this new nutrient solution," Li Chengyi said nonchalantly.

He quickly found a corner in the botanical garden, allocated a specific sprinkler head.

Nearby, where the spray would reach, he had people move over a dozen varieties of potted plants from the greenhouse.

He planned to cast a wide net to see which could adapt and absorb this bloody water.

After completing these tasks, Li Chengyi carried the bag back to the bedroom upstairs.

He put the items in the closet, hid them, and then covered them with clothes.

He was full of anticipation.

If the Feilian from the Silent Store could be replicated outside... then he wouldn’t need to transplant flowers from the Blind Spot anymore. He would just need to keep finding materials in the Blind Spot, bring them out to water the flowers, and perhaps he could get some extremely rare and special plants!

’Moreover, there’s no need to limit myself to the Silent Store. Any monster I encounter in the Blind Spot, as long as I can bring something from them, I can try using it to water flowers... Different fertilizers might result in many various kinds of Flower Language!’ he thought, his heart growing hotter with the idea.

With a creak, he shut the closet door.

Turned around.

Suddenly, his pupils shrank, and he stood there, stunned.

Behind him, where his bedroom should be.

But at this moment, an extra person had appeared.

A little girl with golden hair and blue eyes wearing a white nightgown.

"Yserine?" Li Chengyi’s heart sank.

"Brother Xiao Hao?" Yserine seemed to be wandering around the room, checking out the situation. When she saw Li Chengyi suddenly appear, her face lit up with surprise.

She hurried over to him.

"Brother, when did you come in? I thought you weren’t coming," she said.

"Just now. I also thought I wouldn’t be able to get in after that and would be completely disconnected. It seems that the previous method was only a temporary disconnection."

This time, Li Chengyi did not pull out his phone to translate. To guard against the recurrence of the previous incident, he had placed a translation earpiece in one ear.

So now he could understand Yserine’s words, but...

He had just taken the speaker out of his pocket when he found that the device was broken.

This special device, which could convert his language into Sutanese, unfortunately malfunctioned the moment he entered the Blind Spot.

This was not the first time Li Chengyi had encountered such a situation; his phone had previously lost some functionality while in the Silent Store.

Having no choice, he had to take out his phone again and type a translation for Yserine to read.

"If only I could go in and out like brother...," Yserine said, a touch of loss in her voice.

"No worries, I’ve brought you over. I’ll oil you up every day..." Li Chengyi caught himself mid-sentence and swiftly corrected the translation, deleting and restating.

"Yserine, do you know any other way to get out of here quickly?" he asked.

"Other ways?" Yserine thought for a moment. "It would be those black hands. Those black hands prevent people from entering and leaving this room. This room is a temporary starting point, a safe room, where you can come out and move around a bit. If you want to leave quickly, you might only be able to find a way from this safe room."

Safe room...

Li Chengyi frowned deeply.

He looked towards the bedroom door.

The door was ajar, leaving a sliver of an opening to the outside world, where a shade of deep darkness slowly crept in from the external staircase.

"This is a bit troublesome..." Li Chengyi’s expression grew solemn.

He wasn’t worried about this place, but about... outside.

"How come Brother Cheng still hasn’t come down?" Rainbow Candy put down her gaming console, feeling a vaguely irritable sensation in her heart.

Just a moment ago, for no apparent reason, she suddenly felt an uncomfortable heat throughout her body, beginning to sweat profusely.

Meanwhile, everyone else around her seemed normal, as if she was the only one affected.

"You okay, Sister Tang?" Dragon Gate Crane cautiously approached and asked, "Let me help you massage your legs, knead your shoulders."

Slap.

Rainbow Candy slapped away his wandering hand and gave him a cold glare.

"Or how about you massage here?" She pointed to her chest.

"Uh... but you don’t have anything there, do you?" Glancing at what seemed like a flat surface, Dragon Gate Crane said with some embarrassment.

"Bullshit! I can’t be lacking! I’ve been developing since I was three years old. Sixteen years now, and you dare say I have nothing?!" Rainbow Candy exploded in anger, jumped on the coffee table, and was about to tear at her clothes.

"Sister Tang, come on, take it easy! Don’t be rash!" Da Xiong, experienced in the matter, dropped his chips, rushed over, and grabbed her, halting the half-torn T-shirt.

Seeing the situation worsening, Dragon Gate Crane quickly made his escape, and just as he left, he ran into Da Hei who had just come back from the bathroom.

"What’s up? What are we eating for dinner? Should we order takeout?" Da Hei asked while shaking the water off his hands.

"Uh... ask Sister Tang. I’m good with anything, as long as it’s what Sister Tang likes," Dragon Gate Crane swiftly pledged his loyalty.

"Rainbow Candy? Where is she? I’ll go ask," Da Hei said with a smile.

"She’s over by the coffee table," Dragon Gate Crane turned and pointed towards the table.

But looking in the direction he was pointing, the area by the coffee table was empty, not a soul in sight.

Not only Rainbow Candy but also Da Xiong, who was holding and comforting her, had both disappeared.

"Where are they?" Dragon Gate Crane’s expression shifted slightly, sensing that something was amiss.

Da Hei walked over and saw Xiao Zhong, who had come out of the kitchen at the sound.

"Did you see Rainbow Candy and Da Xiong just now?"

"I was thirsty... went to the kitchen for some water, didn’t see them no?" Xiao Zhong shook his head blankly.

Da Hei crouched down to carefully inspect the footprints.

Then he pulled out his phone, quickly accessing the surveillance video playback.

Soon, the events that had just unfolded were brought up on the screen.

The footage showed Rainbow Candy in a fury, ranting and raving, with Da Xiong holding her, preventing her from tearing her clothes.

Immediately after.

A second later.

The camera seemed to freeze for a moment, pausing abruptly.

As time resumed, both Rainbow Candy and Da Xiong had vanished.

Just like a Flash Appearance. Without a trace.

"They’ve gone in!" Da Hei’s face darkened with gravity. "Move, follow the tasks we’ve assigned before!"

Dragon Gate Crane and Xiao Zhong instantly became serious, each rushing to the corner to put on their gear.

Then, one went upstairs to call for Li Chengyi, while the other began repeating the action of opening and closing the main hall doors.

Entering the Blind Spot often occurred during the moments of entering or exiting a room, during the opening and closing of doors – this was the experience they had gleaned.

Just a few minutes later, Dragon Gate Crane ran back.

"Brother Cheng’s phone signal has disappeared too. He must have gone in as well! As expected of Brother Cheng!" His mood was lifted.

Da Hei quickly checked the phone surveillance and confirmed it was true, heaving a deep sigh of relief.

"If they are all in there, that’s for the best. With Brother Cheng, they will surely come back safely!"
