When the magic flower blooms

Since he didn't drive, He Tiansi changed several cars and spent nearly four hours before arriving in City S at dusk.

At the pre-arranged subway entrance, he saw Yu Benxin who came to greet him.The two exchanged a few words, and Yu Benxin led him to a secluded side road.

Yu Benxin's home is on this branch road, and it is a noble community with high land prices.I heard that many high-level demihumans settled here, so it is conceivable that the security is also top-notch.

After entering the real estate gate, passing through the bustling central business district, and then passing through a park to the right, a small single-family villa finally appeared in front of it.Yu Benxin's home is on the far right of the first row.

He Tiansi couldn't help being curious: "Do you have to walk so much to go home every day?"

Yu Benxin shook his head: "There is a car."

While talking, the two of them had already arrived in front of the house.

"Hey, this garden is really beautiful."

He Tiansi wasn't flattering on purpose. Surrounding this small three-story building was a large lush garden.In early summer, all kinds of flowers are in full bloom, and it looks colorful from a distance.

Yu Benxin's eyes also fell on the garden, showing a gentle expression.

"My friends know that I like plants, so they often send me all kinds of seeds. I don't care so much, they are all planted. The ones that are still alive are what you see now."

The two walked along the path in the garden while talking.After entering the porch, He Tiansi started yelling again.

"This house is really big! Do you live alone?"

"So far. Come on, go to the restaurant and get you something to eat."

Because I live alone, whenever I have time and mood, Yu Benxin will cook by himself.However, unlike Ming Ruoxing, who is good at Chinese cooking, Yu Benxin obviously has more experience in Western cooking, which is closely related to his many years of overseas life.

The ingredients are almost ready-made, and a quarter of an hour later, a macaroni bolognese and vegetable salad are served on the table, which are delicious in color and fragrance.

He Tiansi thanked him and started immediately.

"How does it taste?" Yu Benxin handed him a glass of lemonade.

"good to eat!"

"Don't worry, there is still in the pot."

After going out in the afternoon, there was not a drop of water in, so He Tiansi had a good meal and ate hard.It wasn't until there was no macaroni left in the cauldron that he stretched his neck and let out a sigh of satisfaction.

Yu Benxin sat across the table, watching him with a smile.

"Your stomach is full, you should tell me why you ran out so suddenly."

"Excuse me."

He Tiansi didn't hide it from him either: "I had some trouble with Ming Ruoxing, so I ran out in a fit of anger."

"Did you quarrel?"

Maybe because this question was a bit abrupt, Yu Benxin explained: "I didn't mean to eavesdrop, but when we were talking just now, Ming Ruoxing suddenly interrupted, and your phone was not turned off, so I heard a few words."

"It's okay." He Tiansi waved his hand, "I just wanted to talk to you about this matter, but I was afraid that you would find me annoying and drive me away."

"Don't be stupid." Yu Benxin smiled, "Friends still care about what to do, so just say what you want."

"...Do you remember what I said on the phone call in the afternoon?"

He Tiansi didn't hold back, and directly pointed out the main point, "I feel that there is a huge conspiracy around me. Xiao Ming was sent by the Asian Security Bureau...not only him, but my whole life has been monitored by the Asian Security Bureau."

For two or three seconds, Yu Benxin didn't say a word, just observing He Tiansi's expression.And He Tiansi looked at him without hesitation.

At the end of the eye contact, Yu Benxin sighed: "Your expression tells me that you are very sure about this matter."

"But it's definitely affirmative, but I don't know what to do next."

"..."

Yu Benxin was silent for another moment, and said in a low voice: "Some words are not appropriate to say before, but since you are so sure, then I will not be enough friends if I hide something from you...Actually, as far as I know Yes, there is indeed a secret mechanism in the scientific research institutes within the Asian Security Agency. They will place the experimental subjects in a relatively closed environment, send people to monitor them, and conduct observation experiments step by step. I think you may be the test subject. "

"I'm the guinea pig of the Asian Security Bureau?"

He Tiansi was stunned, "So, Xiao Ming took me to Yinshan to see the world everywhere... all of this is... using me as an experiment?"

"Don't get excited, this is just my guess."

Having said that, Yu Benxin deliberately paused, "It's just that what I say is not completely unfounded."

He Tiansi immediately grasped the point: "What basis do you have?"

"wait."

Yu Benxin got up and went to another room and came back with a tablet computer.

He opened a folder in front of He Tiansi, and there was only one video in it.Before clicking on the video, he also specially reminded He Tiansi: "The picture may surprise you, so make some mental preparations first."

"I'm fine." He Tiansi shook his head, "Quickly let it go."

The video starts to play, and the screen is a bright space that looks like an operating room.In the center is a dark green medical treatment bed, and the restraint belts at both ends are particularly clear and frightening under the shadowless lamp.

Two or three seconds later, there was a creaking sound of the axle turning outside the screen.Another mobile bed was rolled over.Lying on the bed was a bloody man, with his back to the screen.

Two or three people in silver-gray isolation suits worked together to transfer the man to the treatment bed, still forcing him to lie on his side, and showing his injured back in front of the camera.Then, someone began to disinfect the large wound on his back.Perhaps it was because the potion was highly irritating, the man couldn't help sobbing a few times even though he restrained himself.

He Tiansi's eyelids twitched twice, and his pupils contracted suddenly.But he didn't ask a word.

After the disinfection is completed, the camera pans to the preparation table on the side of the treatment bed.A very special-looking medicine was being prepared there—several unknown medicines were mixed together and stirred evenly to form a pale yellow paste.Then they applied the ointment to the man's wounds.

The man convulsed again because of the severe pain, but a miraculous scene happened very quickly—the bloody wound on his back began to scab quickly, and within just 2 minutes, it had completely turned into a large piece of hard scab .

The operator continued to apply medicine on this layer of scab, and after a few minutes, he gently lifted the scab with a scalpel. The wound below was almost healed, and a new layer of light red skin grew.

The picture ends here.Immediately afterwards, Yu Benxin manually dragged the time axis back to 40 minute and [-] seconds, and froze on the scene where the man had just been transferred to the treatment bed.

Although it was a little blurry, He Tiansi had to admit that the man in the picture looked exactly like himself.

He was stunned: "What is this thing?"

"I shouldn't have said it at first, because it involves the commercial secrets of the Jujingtang Research Institute." Yu Benxin said, "Do you still remember Lou Minqiu, the head of the R&D department who was killed by the shapeshifter Chen Ping in the previous case?" ? This is a video I found from his work computer a while ago."

"How could Lou Minqiu have this kind of video? Who sent it to him, and what is the purpose?"

"According to our analysis, this incident should have something to do with technology transactions in the underground black market. In the simplest terms, the person who made this video wanted to sell the formula of this powerful healing potion in the video. So Then I sent the video of the effect demonstration to Lou Minqiu."

"Lou Minqiu is not the head of the R&D department, why is he in charge of purchasing?"

"This is where the problem lies."

Yu Benxin sighed: "Lou Minqiu probably wants to privately buy other people's off-the-shelf technology to disguise as his own research results. The purpose is probably to embezzle the extra research funds."

Listening to his explanation, He Tiansi suddenly realized.

"I also understand why Lou Minqiu helped Shen Hao deal with Chen Ping. Shen Hao must have seized on this and threatened to report him. Sure enough, none of them are good!"

He paused, and suddenly remembered the real point: "So, who is the producer of this video?"

Yu Benxin shook his head: "Lou Min begged to die, and there is no proof of death. Our people are still investigating."

"..."

He Tiansi inevitably showed a disappointed expression, and even lowered his head and buried his face in his hands.

"So, I really wasn't an ordinary person before, who am I...what have I been through..."

"Things will come to light one day, and there is no rush for this moment."

Yu Benxin got up and took out a bottle of whiskey and two wine glasses from the wine cabinet.

"Think about it in another direction. You have gained a lot today, and it is ideal to proceed step by step. I originally wanted to take you to the bar to relax, but now it depends on the situation. Let's just have a drink or two at home."

Knowing that he also had good intentions, He Tiansi took the wine bottle with a wry smile, and drank the amber liquid inside in one gulp.

"Thank you, without you, I really don't know who else I can talk to about this now."

"You can come to me anytime."

Yu Benxin poured another half a glass of wine for him, "Actually, to tell you the truth, before returning to China, I also studied psychology and obtained the qualification of a psychologist. Perhaps compared to the boring daily life in Jujingtang Management work, I also yearn for a more pure life. Of course, if I can help you, that would be even better."

He Tiansi didn't continue to respond, he seemed to be addicted to the brief relaxation brought by alcohol.

-

The last slant of the setting sun has completely disappeared on the horizon. In the depths of the courtyard away from the traffic and neon lights, the night is still quiet and pure.

The whiskey bottle on the coffee table was empty.He Tiansi was lying on his back on the sofa in the living room, already in a state of drunkenness.

In contrast, Yu Benxin was obviously much more sober.He took a thin blanket from upstairs, covered He Tiansi, and observed quietly for a few minutes, making sure that He Tiansi had fallen into a deep sleep, then got up again, and took a small bed from the next room. toolbox.

He put the box on the coffee table and opened it.Inside was a set of blood collection kits and several empty test tubes.

Putting on the rubber gloves, Yu Benxin skillfully pressed a few times on the crook of He Tiansi's left arm, found the blood vessel, tied the rubber tube, sterilized it, and then began to collect blood.

Soon, three tubes of blood samples were completed in a leisurely manner.Yu Benxin withdrew the needle and used cotton to gently press the needle hole.

At this moment, He Tiansi, who had been asleep, suddenly opened his eyes.
