Under the cover of night, a small river beside the MIZU building attracted Tao Ye's attention.

This small river should be an artificial river, and the water is extremely calm.Occasionally, one or two fallen leaves fell on the water.

When the fallen leaves touch the water surface, the ripples will spread out around the falling point of the fallen leaves.It took three to four seconds for those ripples to spread from the center of the river to the riverside, and finally gently touched the river bank made of stone bricks.

This was obviously a very ordinary scene, but like a clue to a puzzle, it lit a dim street lamp in Tao Ye's heart.

Perhaps, in the event of the disappearance of the live broadcast, the live broadcast is just an appearance, and the real clue is hidden behind the appearance.

But Tao Ye didn't have much time to think about it, because when he turned his eyes back to the remaining four little gray men, another little gray man disappeared out of thin air.

Now, even Shen Zhu could hardly maintain complete composure.In just a few minutes, the two people in the group disappeared suddenly, and there was no response from Liu Chen at all. This was undoubtedly a huge setback for the entire operation.

"Liu Chu, can you hear me?" Shen Zhu lowered her voice, trying to contact Liu Chen.She held the handrail of the stairs with one hand, and her knuckles were faintly white due to the force.

After a long time, Liu Chen's voice came from the headset: "We were attacked, one team member disappeared out of thin air, and the communication of another group of team members was also interrupted."

At this moment, an invisible big hand pressed heavily on everyone present.Both Liu Chen and the little grays present finally realized that what they were facing was not an ordinary abnormal soul, but an extremely powerful unknown.

Hearing that Liu Chen was still alive, Tao Ye secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and suggested to Liu Chen through the headset: "Let's withdraw now."

Although Liu Chen was pleased with the great work, he also realized the seriousness of the situation at this time, so he immediately responded: "Okay, retreat now. Let's meet at the gate."

However, the moment Liu Chen finished speaking, Tao Ye raised his hand and turned off his headset.He said to Shen Zhu and the remaining three people: "Go to the gate and have a round with Liu Chen first."

"What about you?" Shen Zhu's eyes showed a bit more worry.

"I have something to confirm." Tao Ye took off the headset and stuffed it into his jacket pocket, "I'll go find you guys later."

Shen Zhu knew that Tao Ye's abilities were good, so she didn't force Tao Ye to retreat together. After nodding to Tao Ye, she took the remaining three little gray men back along the fire escape stairs.

After watching Shen Zhu and the others go downstairs, Tao Ye took a deep breath and took out the silver rhododendron from his trouser pocket.Previously, Tao Ye felt that there was something wrong with the rhododendron, so he took it with him.

The gray men disappeared one after another, which made Tao Ye realize that perhaps the condition for disappearing was not watching the live broadcast, but the silver cuckoo.

Previous investigations showed that the hosts who were watching when the victims disappeared were all wearing MIZU's clothes or wearing MIZU's jewelry.Without exception, there are silver cuckoos on these clothes and jewelry.

But at that time, Tao Ye was still not completely sure that the disappearance had something to do with Silver Dujuan.

After the little gray man disappeared under Tao Ye's nose, Tao Ye caught a glimpse of the rippling water surface of the small river downstairs, and the layers of water ripples expanding outward suddenly reminded Tao Ye that among all the disappearances, the only commonality was It is existence of the silver azalea.

In the live broadcast, the host had a silver cuckoo on his body, and the host and the victim were separated by a long distance. The witnesses realized that the victim had disappeared suddenly after the victim had disappeared for a while.

But just now, Tao Ye had a silver cuckoo on his body, Tao Ye was very close to the disappeared little gray man, and Tao Ye could detect the disappearance of the little gray man almost immediately.

From this point of view, the distance between Yinzi Dujuan and the victim determines when the witnesses around the victim will realize that the victim has disappeared.

It's a lot like ripples in water.

Silver cuckoos are like fallen leaves, and victims and witnesses are like river banks.When the first ripple hits the shore, the victim disappears.By the time the second ripple reaches the shore, witnesses will realize the victim is gone.

The farther the fallen leaves are from the shore, the longer the interval between the first and second ripples reaching the shore.The closer the fallen leaves are to the shore, the shorter the distance between the two ripples that reach the shore.

This explains why in the previous disappearance of the live broadcast, it took a while for the witnesses to realize that the victim had disappeared, while Tao Ye could almost immediately discover that the little gray man behind him had disappeared out of thin air.

Tao Ye couldn't guarantee that his guess was completely correct, but it was certain that Silver Dujuan had a problem.

So, putting the silver cuckoo in the palm of his hand, Tao Ye used the power of fire to illuminate the air around the silver cuckoo.

At the moment when the fire was lit, a translucent flower stem appeared from the tail of the silver rhododendron, and the flower stem meandered towards the interior of the MIZU building.At the same time, in the dazzling firelight, several slender stamens protruded from the flower center of the silver rhododendron, twisting in the wind.

Tao Ye extinguished the fire, and the stems and stamens of Rhododendron silver disappeared immediately.It seems that the flower stems and stamens only appear under certain circumstances, and most of the time, they are invisible to the naked eye.

At this moment, Shen Zhu ran up the stairs in a hurry, panting and said to Tao Ye: "Liu Chen asked me to come to you, we are going to retreat."

Unexpectedly, Liu Chen was quite responsible. Tao Ye scratched his forehead, and was about to tell Shen Zhu about Yinzi Dujuan: "Wait a minute, there is a problem."

Shen Zhu stepped forward and grabbed Tao Ye's arm, pulling him to go downstairs, saying while walking:

"If there is anything to do, let's evacuate, it's too dangerous here."

Tao Ye broke away from Shen Zhu's hand, and used the power of fire to illuminate the space around Silver Dujuan again.

The flower stems and stamens reappeared, and the difference from last time was that this time the stamens did not twist randomly in the air, but stretched towards Shen Zhu's body in unison, like a parasitic plant, stretched into Shen Zhu's in the skull.

However, Shen Zhu didn't feel any discomfort, she didn't even feel the existence of stamens.

After seeing this unbelievable scene, Shen Zhu was stunned immediately.In the warm orange-red firelight, the silver rhododendrons in Tao Ye's palm reflected brilliant light, like real flowers, displaying a strange vitality.

"What is this?" Shen Zhu stretched out her hand vigilantly, trying to pull out the flower stamen that got into her head.But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't touch the stamen.They are like air, unable to collide with matter.

The thought in Tao Ye's heart was completely confirmed by this scene.The silver rhododendron is indeed an important reason for the disappearance.When a person with a silver cuckoo on his body contacts someone else, the stamens of the silver cuckoo will stick into the other person's body. Perhaps it is because of this that the victim disappears out of thin air.

Knowing the danger of the silver cuckoo, Tao Ye decided to destroy it.

He poured an extremely scorching power of fire on the azalea, and the azalea was instantly melted into a liquid, which fell on the iron steps of the fire escape.

The moment the rhododendron melts, the flower stems and stamens also disappear.
