Mix in Douluo to raise plants

After coming out of the interrogation room, Fang Yu did not stay on the seventh floor, but came to the location of the human resources department that controls root personnel and mission information transmission. On the second floor of the big tree, the elevator arrived. Two doors separated, and there was a room outside. There are busy people, and the desks and chairs are piled with various documents, making it a messy office.

Xuan Yue was also waiting for him there. When she saw him arriving, she lowered her head and handed the resignation report to him.

Fang Mian took the report, looked at the head of the human resources department who had come here, and told him three things.

The first thing is to ask all the root members distributed outside to find out the specific location of Fanyun City and ask them to report as quickly as possible.

The second thing is to deprive Xuan Yue of his position as captain and appoint the captain of the first team as the acting captain to temporarily coordinate the root affairs.

The third thing is to assign people to go to several breeding grounds that Xuan Yue told us to conduct exploration and testing.

"Do you understand?" After Fang Mian finished speaking, he looked at the stunned minister and asked.

The minister realized his gaffe and quickly adjusted his mood. Then he glanced at Xuan Yue and asked, "Yes, leader, I understand, but the captain..."

"If you don't do it if you understand, why are you standing here?"

Fang Mian scolded, and with his sharp eyes, he pushed back the words he wanted to plead for Xuan Yue.

The minister trembled, bowed his head and said yes, then left quickly to complete what Fang Yu told him.

When Xuan Yue saw Fang Mian being so determined, Yan Ran still didn't know that Fang Mian's words were serious this time. She lowered her head and regretted how she could be so impulsive at that time. After hearing the news about becoming a god revealed by the disciple, she ignored it. Action, completely treating the rules and regulations of the root as a piece of waste paper, this kind of mistake that ordinary members of the root cannot make, how could she make it!How could you commit such a crime!

A few minutes later, three tasks were distributed to all levels of the root. However, the news that the captain was removed from the root for being absent from duty, acting recklessly, disrespecting the leader, etc. immediately spread throughout the streets and alleys of the underground city, causing an uproar. , both the ordinary family members and the members of the Root were extremely shocked.

The leader is aloof, and many members of the root have never seen the leader in person. They respect the leader and regard him as the most noble being, the god who bestows them with gifts. But the real situation is that except for some departments where Fang Mian often goes, no one else has seen him at all. We see each other every year, and many times, this kind of worship is directed at a portrait.

But the captain is different. Xuan Yue's figure strives at almost every node in the development of the root. Many root personnel only realized that they should respect the leader after receiving Xuan Yue's teachings.

It is unabashedly said that the leader has the highest status in the hearts of most members of the root, but Xuanyue's weight is the heaviest. The residents of the underground city were more convinced by her commands than Fang Mian's orders.

Fang Mian is not the emperor. He will not worry about Xuan Yue's too much power in the root. For him, the root is just a tool that is easy to use. There is nothing special. He only needs to control the top powerful people to ensure that this As long as the tools can help him do his job, he never cares how powerful the top power person is within the organization.

It's just that this time Xuan Yue touched Fang Mian's bottom line. She actually didn't report the knowledge and acted without authorization. It was like a weeding knife that was supposed to quietly obey the owner's orders. Suddenly one day, it could be used on the grass without the owner's control. Weed yourself.

Although what you do is beneficial to the owner, will the owner be happy?No, the owner will only be frightened when he sees a guillotine being used to weed by himself without anyone controlling it.

Because the guillotine is a sharp weapon, and it can hurt yourself if you don't control it well. If it still has its own consciousness, who can guarantee that it will not weed it on your head? Fang Mian does not allow this situation that may threaten him. occur.

Therefore, even the message Xuan Yue gave him was important, critical, and precious.

However, that was obtained by Xuan Yue's actions without informing Fang Mian. If Fang Mian does not deal with it seriously, in the future, the root will really become a tool that he cannot control.

It's not that he doesn't trust Xuanyue, but what about the successors after Xuanyue?Can they be as loyal to themselves as Xuan Yue, willing to hide in the darkness and be a tool?

Fang Mian didn't think that others would follow Xuan Yue's example. Desire was like a boulder rolling down from the top of a mountain. Once it started, it could never be stopped.

Therefore, even though Fang Mian knew that the root could continue to develop rapidly in Xuan Yue's hands, he still wanted to remove her.

The fifth floor of the big tree is where the root action team is located.

Although there are many members in the root, [-]% are ordinary people, doing the work of lurking, collecting intelligence, and transmitting information. The seven layers of the first layer are soul masters with poor talent. Their role is to serve as civil servants in the underground city. Manage the city's security, stability, and development.

As for those who are truly capable of combat, they have all been recruited from the outside world in the past six years. Most of them were recruited by Fang Mian himself. There are 49 people in total, all of them are outstanding people. They are divided into seven teams in groups of seven. Each team has a separate office.

At this time, in the office of the first team, the captain of the first team, Yan Xiao, a tall and honest man with strong muscles, was holding in his hand the temporary appointment notice of the captain written by the leader.

The other team members howled like crazy after notifying the people to leave. The captain has great power. He is in charge of the root treasure house and monthly resource allocation. If their captain becomes the captain, their salary will not increase. , everyone was happy for the captain, and seemed not to care about Xuan Yue stepping down.

"Captain, why are you so worried? Now you are the captain, why don't you be happy?"

One of the team members saw Yan Xiao looking at the notice in his hand in a daze, with a worried look on his face, and asked in confusion.

Yan Xiao looked up and sneered: "Stupid, do you think anyone can be the captain? Although I, Yan Xiao, am conceited, after all, at my age, people who can reach the level of Soul Saint are very rare, but this is always But I don’t dare to hope for the captaincy because I know I don’t deserve it.”

"Captain Xuanyue's achievements in this position are obvious to both you and me, and you also have some guesses about her relationship with the leader. I guess this is a special holiday arranged by the leader for Captain Xuanyue. In a few months, she will He will still come back, so I advise you not to be too arrogant, otherwise you will have a hard time when Captain Xuan Yue returns."

Hearing what he said, the team members calmed down a lot, but some people expressed different opinions and said: "You can't say that, captain, you can't belittle yourself. We do know the relationship between the captain and the leader, but we also know the relationship between the leader and the leader. The attitude of the matter, he said that if he changes the position of captain, it is impossible to change her back in a short time."

"Moreover, maybe Captain Xuanyue will never come back this time. Sigh... Don't do anything. Listen to me. That's not what I mean. What I mean is that the leader will let Captain Xuanyue Maybe the captain leaves his roots and creates a new department, or maybe joins the Sun Cult directly and becomes a priest worshiping the Sun God?"

"So captain, my suggestion is that you quickly gather the members of other teams, issue tasks, and complete the two tasks just given by the leader. If you do it well, your temporary title may be removed soon. It’s become official, what do you think?”

Yan Xiao's eyes became brighter and brighter. He admitted that he was persuaded by his subordinates, but his expression remained calm and showed no change. He nodded and said, "What you said makes sense. No matter what, the leader's mission is ours." It needs to be done with all your strength.”

"That's right. How about I go now and notify the other teams?" The team member who made the suggestion asked, pointing to the door.

But Yan Xiao shook his head and said, "There's no rush. We'll wait until the chaos stops."

"Chaos?" The other team members were confused. How could there be chaos in this underground city? However, they suddenly thought of something, and their expressions suddenly became very exciting.

On the second floor, in the office of the Ministry of Manpower, the soft leather recliner of the Minister of Manpower was occupied by Fang Mian. He put down the back of the chair comfortably and relaxed his body to lie down. The soft recliner swallowed him up.

Xuan Yue's expression on the side was panicked. She seemed to realize something. She looked out the window frequently, her knuckles turned white, and her face struggled for a long time. After struggling for a long time, she couldn't help but said: "Chief... it's not too early. Well, why don’t we go back?”

Fang Mian opened his eyes, looked at her with a half-smile and asked, "How do you know it's getting late? Are you hiding from me the ability to penetrate hundreds of meters of soil and sense the time in the outside world?"

"Or do you want to make decisions for me again? Do you want to take my place?"

Xuan Yue's fear reached its peak. She knelt down and kowtowed: "Chief, I know I was wrong. I didn't want to replace you. I...I am willing to accept any punishment. Please don't anger others. "

Fang Mian stood up, walked to her side and helped her up, holding her pretty face, gently wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes, and chuckled: "You are smart, Xuan Yue, I told you before, What should the roots look like?”

"The root is the shadow of the sun on the dark side. Since you are in the dark, you should act according to the rules of the dark side. I told you to be cruel, to be ruthless, and to make your subordinates feel awe and fear, but you have your own You acted with kindness and humility, and gained their respect and following. This is good, and I don’t blame you, because this is also a way to control your subordinates.”

"But you shouldn't make mistakes. Before you make a mistake, have you ever thought that your mistake will affect other people? If so, it means you don't care about them at all, and why are you crying and begging for mercy? If not, then it proves that you You are a selfish person, you want everything to go in the direction that is beneficial to you."

"I am an extremely selfish person. I cannot tolerate anyone being more selfish than me, especially if his interests infringe on mine. I will retaliate against him like crazy, do you understand?"

"Because you are my...lover, I can't be cruel enough to get rid of you, but your mistakes are so big that I can't tolerate them. I need to erase all traces of you at the roots. To cut the grass, you need to get rid of the roots. do you understand?"

Xuan Yue's heart froze when she heard Fang Mian's increasingly cold words. She nodded tremblingly and said, "I, I understand..."

"Well, good, get up, let's go!"

As he spoke, Fang Mian straightened up under Xuan Yue's surprised eyes and said: "I am not a person who is easy to kill. Although I want to see how many people's hearts are not at their roots, but in you, but, forget it, for you, I am willing Give them a chance to reflect.”

Xuan Yue was startled for a moment, laughed through tears, stood up, hugged Fang Mian, and said gratefully: "Thank you, leader."

Fang Mian patted her back gently and said softly: "Don't make any mistakes again. You will make things very difficult for me."

"understood."

"Let's go."

Xuan Yue held Fang Mian's hand, and the two of them came to the plant soul ladder. Someone was using it. They waited quietly. The ladder door opened, and the Minister of Human Resources came out in a panic, and happened to bump into the two of them.

Seeing his face clearly, Xuan Yue's heart thumped, and an unpleasant feeling lingered in her heart.

"Sorry, leader, there are many root members gathered on the first floor. They want you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Fang Mian smiled brightly, but the laughter reached Xuan Yue's ears like a warning sound.

"Xuan Yue, some people don't take the opportunity you gave them seriously." Fang Mian looked at Xuan Yue and said, his face gradually darkening.

Xuan Yue begged: "Chief, give me another chance."

The two looked at each other in silence, and soon after, Fang Mian smiled again.

The three of them arrived on the first floor and saw that the wide hall was crowded with root members kneeling on the ground. There were people from various departments. At a casual glance, there were hundreds of them.

"Chief, please spare the captain, please do not remove the position of captain."

When the elevator door opened, the overwhelming sound blasted towards the three of them, causing Fang Mian's eardrums to hurt. He dug his ears and looked over. The group of people had a decent attitude. They were all kneeling on the ground and prostrate.

"There are really many people who are sincere to you. It seems that you have done well in these years~" Fang Mian said lightly.

But every word that fell in Xuan Yue's heart was hit by meteorites one after another. She understood that if she didn't solve the problem before Fang Mian got angry, I'm afraid everyone here would have to...

She didn't want to think about it anymore, so she took a step forward and asked coldly: "Which of you is taking the lead?"

Hearing that the voice was Xuan Yue, they sat up straight, and someone said: "Captain Xuan Yue, we came spontaneously to intercede for you."

"Yes, Captain, you have done so well, the leader should not replace you."

"That's right."

With one word from one person, the scene was getting out of control. Xuan Yue suddenly spoke up, her voice overwhelming everyone else.

"shut up!"

She glanced coldly and asked again: "I said, tell me, which of you is in charge!"

The scene was silent for a few seconds, and a figure stood up. It was a thin young man from the R&D department. He said in a deep and powerful voice: "It's me."

After he finished speaking, a tall and thick man also stood up and said, "It's me."

One by one, they stood up one after another, and soon, the number of people exceeded five, ten, and twenty.

Just as he was running towards thirty, a cold light flashed in the air, and the blade cut through the air waves, making a buzzing sound, and blood was splashed. Looking at the young man who stood up first, he was already beheaded.

The smell of blood stopped the crowd from getting up. While everyone was stunned and confused, the killing continued.

A splash of blood splashed in the air, and their heads fell to the ground one by one. Their panicked expressions were silently expressing fear. A deep haze fell from the sky, pressing out everyone's hearts, leaving them confused, confused, and puzzled.

After the three standing figures of No. 20 fell down, Xuan Yue glanced at everyone coldly, her eyes piercing everyone's hearts.

Obviously... everyone is here to plead for her, obviously... the captain used to be such a kind person, but no one understands why she would take action against the people who helped her, why she would kill.

"Chief, the people who led the trouble have been eliminated. Please see that these ignorant members were deceived and spare their lives."

After Xuan Yue confirmed that no one was standing up anymore, she turned around and knelt down on one knee towards Fang Mian.

Fang Mian hates dead people, especially those who die in front of him. The more he studies plants, the more he understands the preciousness and value of life, so he doesn't like killing people, but there is no way. Sometimes, ignorance and stubbornness are like a leaf. It can cover the eyes of the general public. Only by washing the eyes with blood can others see the truth clearly.

He came to the dead silent crowd and asked with a smile: "Does any of you understand why Captain Xuan Yue, whom you helped, wants to kill you instead? Can you tell me?"

Quiet, deathly quiet, he answered himself after half a minute.

"It was me, and it was under my coercion, your lovely Captain Xuan Yue, that I killed you."

His frankness caught everyone by surprise, and everyone raised their heads to look at the frank leader.

Just listen to Fang Mian continue to say: "Then you can tell me why I forced your captain to attack you, why someone will die now, why she will be dismissed, and why you are here to listen to my lectures instead of .....In accordance with your wishes, I revoke her punishment and let her continue to serve as captain."

"I'll answer you because you, including her, are too weak for me and not of enough value."

"Imagine if she has enough power to fight against me and protect all of you from my attack. If one of you can be strong enough to overthrow my existence, the roots can be legitimately exposed to the sun. Down there, instead of hiding like rats in this dark, damp underground.”

"All these problems come down to one answer. You are the weak, and I am the strong. The strong make the rules, and the weak abide by them. This is the law of nature."

"If the weak don't want to accept the rules set by the strong, then challenge the strong and defeat the strong. The rules are set by you, and the punishments and rewards are controlled by you. Then...do any of you want to give it a try?"

Fang Mian looked around everyone, no one dared to meet his eyes. He smiled, and then suddenly shouted angrily: "If you don't have the guts, then just abide by my rules honestly. You guys are here to uphold justice and spread truth, goodness and beauty." place? No, you are just tools in my hand. Just imagine, if one day, the tool in your hand no longer works, what will you do? If it can be repaired, just replace it. If it doesn’t work, just replace it. For me In other words, the loss is not big, as long as I am still there, I can pull up a new root at any time."

Fang Mian's words were every word sharp, cruel and callous, and inhumane. Over the years, under the leadership of Xuan Yue, although the roots were prosperous, they seemed to have forgotten their responsibilities as tools. From top to bottom, Their thoughts have deviated too much, especially those in the underground city. The high-quality living environment has corroded their beliefs.

Fang Mian wants to take this opportunity to dig out the roots of kindness spread by Xuan Yue and let the roots return. As he imagined, everyone is in darkness and struggling in chaos. In order to reach the other side of light, competition, Climbing, working hard, fighting, everyone has the primary goal of completing his task. Only in this way can this root truly play its role.

"What you have done today made me realize that although the root has been developing rapidly in recent years, in the process of growth, too many people have been absorbed, and some people's ideas are not enough to hold the position of the root. I hope you can Be alert, don't do anything to disappoint me again, where is the temporary captain? Get over here!"

His voice penetrated layer after layer and reached Yan Xiao's ears. He quickly stood up. In less than a minute, he came to Fang Mian and bowed his head to obey the order.

Fang Mian said coldly: "I will give you the power to organize people to test the faith of all root members, find out those who lack faith in the entire root, and punish them, no problem."

He looked at Yan Xiao and said, his purpose is very simple, which is to create an environment full of crises and make everyone feel in danger. Only in this way can they be separated from each other, and can they prevent others from gaining a lot of people's hearts again. Today happened again.

"No problem!" Yan Xiao responded respectfully.

"Yes." Fang Mian nodded, glanced coldly at the people kneeling with their heads bowed, and left with Xuan Yue.

Yan Xiao looked at his departing back. Although the leader had left, everyone present, including the root members who were not present, could feel that there was a hand tightening on their hearts, giving them pressure all the time.

Everyone realizes that the warm roots of the past may be gone forever, and the next roots will be shrouded in real cold darkness.

They can also resist, as long as they defeat him as Fang Mian said.

But the price of failure is also very painful, that is, death!There is no other choice.
