How many character cards do you have?

As soon as these words came out, both Conan and Hoshinokawa's eyes widened.

The two of them really didn't know that there was such a thing. Xing Zhichuan knew that the main body needed to catch Gin. Now that the bait had just been cast, even the bait and food were swallowed up before the big fish was caught.

Organization has so much energy?

Xingzhichuan was surprised.

And Conan was even more unbelievable, as if seeing his doubts, Hess glanced at him and said, "You can call and ask."

After hesitating for a while, Conan still chose to call Toru Amuro. At the same time, he didn't dare to let Hoshikawa and Hess stay alone together, so when he called, he just pulled Hoshikawa back to the corner. Hess knew that he wanted to avoid the phone call. The person whose identity was leaked, shrugged, and stood there with his back to them.

"Is it convenient now?" Conan didn't call his name after calling.

Amuro Toru, who was on the other side of the phone, was stunned for a moment, and also chose to remove Conan's name: "What happened?"

"Gin heard he was released."

"Impossible!" Toru Amuro vetoed subconsciously, but soon his tone softened, knowing that it was impossible for Conan to call him nonsense, "I'll ask them."

Conan gave an 'hmm', hung up the phone, and just stared at Hess who turned around.

At the same time, he was thinking in his heart that although he was not there before, he still knew the situation inside. Even before Judy called Conan, he saw through the trap set by Hess. What did he do? According to his personality, if he could directly bring him back to Hoshinogawa, he wouldn't be waiting like he is now.

Unless... He is not sure that he can take him away without Xing Zhichuan's unwillingness.

Just as he thought of this, the phone rang suddenly. Conan looked at the phone quickly. Amuro Toru did not call him, but sent a text message.

[I can't get in touch with other people. The car that escorted the gin didn't arrive on time. I'm going to confirm this now. 】

Conan's heart sank suddenly.

"Looking at your expression, you should be sure." Hess said slowly.

"not sure yet."

"Oh? But I'm sure. How about it? Would you like to listen to the sound of gin?" Hess also raised his mobile phone, "The arrested person must not be able to hold the mobile phone, and I can't do it either. Knowing that Gin would be arrested, he recorded in advance."

Hess' words directly blocked the back road. Conan subconsciously glanced at Xingzhichuan, and found that he was also looking at Hess, not knowing what he was thinking.

"The people in the organization also have people in the government, and their status is not small. Even if you stay there, you will only be arrested and studied. Of course, I know that human beings can't do anything to you, but you can't change into your original form for too long, let alone The way to follow your racial traditions back to the universe."

Hess said indifferently: "But I can restore you to your original form here, and I can also tell you who the person who experimented with you was, the price is only some of the energy you have stored. As long as I need these things, I can make a vow with you. The kind that has magical effects."

"Don't go!" Conan anxiously grabbed Hoshikawa's clothes, "That kind of thing will never happen."

"Do you want to believe in human beings who say 'If you are not of my race, their hearts must be different', or is it a fair deal?" Hess also extended his hand towards Xingzhichuan.

Ah this.

The corners of Hoshikawa's eyes twitched, he took a deep look at Conan, then turned and walked towards Hess.

"Wait a moment!"

Conan wanted to stop him, but met Hess' eyes.

There seemed to be a vortex in those light blue eyes, deep and shallow, Conan couldn't help but stop when he looked at it.

It was already an hour before he regained consciousness.

……

Hess took Hoshikawa to the helicopter parked on the roof and returned to the building. There was still no change on the surface of the building. Gin was standing at the door smoking a cigarette and waiting for them.

Hoshikawa pretended to be in a coma since he got off the helicopter, and was carried by Hess. After taking a look at Gin, he walked straight into the building, and Vodka was not by his side.

Hess knew that this was probably the first time that Gin overturned such a big car, so he probably wasn't in a good mood right now, so it was better not to provoke him.

They walked all the way to the bottom, and the believers on the underground floors realized something when they saw Gin and Hess appearing together. They stared at the two of them expectantly, and Hess waved his hand to tell them not to gather here : "Do what you should do, and you will see later."

So the people dispersed.

Hess and Gin came to the greenhouse on the fourth floor of the basement, where the ceremony was prepared, using chicken blood and various animal blood as paints, and several elderly believers were praying devoutly beside them, with the 'tree' as the center After drawing a large circle with various patterns densely packed on it, Hess placed the River of Stars beside the tree, which is also the center of the formation.

"Everything is ready, without further ado, let's get started."

Hess nodded to Gin, who retreated to the edge of the greenhouse tactfully, staring at them from a distance.

The ceremony begins, and the end of the final mod.

Hess took a deep breath and cut his arm with a dagger, the blood melted into the circle drop by drop, and several other elderly believers did the same while muttering in their mouths.

At this time, a mutation occurred. The blood they shed dripped on the ground, and they squirmed on the ground like living creatures. They squirmed and crawled impartially along the lines of the circular formation on the ground, as if the entire circular formation had come to life.

At this time, the sacred tree also began to show strange signs. Several branches stretched out to wrap around the Xingzhichuan leaning on the side, and then slowly dragged towards the trunk, finally melting a large living person into it.

It really melted in, and the Star River disappeared into the trunk as if it had not encountered any obstacles, and then the tree began to grow rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Originally, in the past few days, the tree began to grow two or three meters high against the laws of nature, but now it started to grow like a stick.

Five meters, six meters, seven meters...

The ceiling of the four-story underground greenhouse was originally six or seven meters high, but now the crown of this tree has completely supported the ceiling, and it looks like it will continue to grow upwards.

And its canopy has also begun to bloom and bear fruit. The fruit produced at the sapling stage skipped the step of flowering and directly bear fruit. Now, flower buds have begun to appear on the branches of the canopy, and a strange fragrance is overflowing.

"This is the tree of life."

While Gin was watching this scene in shock, Hess, who presided over the ceremony, spoke hoarsely.

"It was said in the Bible that there were two special fruit trees in the Garden of Yisen, one was the tree of life and the other was the tree of wisdom. God once told Adam that you can eat the fruit of the tree of life at will, because I share eternal life with you, but You must not eat of the fruit of the tree of knowledge, or you will surely die on the day you picked it."

"Eve was tempted by the poisonous snake, and she plucked the fruit of the tree of knowledge and shared it with Adam. From then on, human beings have wisdom, and thus have desires. Human beings lost the trust of God, began to fall downward, and lost eternal life."

"And now, the fruit of eternal life returns to the world."

Following his words, the petals withered, and the bright red fruits gradually matured. The fragrance became stronger and stronger, and it was hard to resist. The shadow of the fruit was reflected in the eyes of Gin Wine, and the eyes gradually turned red. The desire for fruit suddenly hit my heart at this moment.

Just when he was about to be unable to hold back, Hess's cold voice sounded:

"But unfortunately, I will not share the fruit of eternal life with you, because you have not completed your work."

Qin Jiu regained consciousness for a moment, and looked at him: "What do you mean?"

"You have not fulfilled the conditions for our cooperation. I brought back the color of the stars, and I also took this building. You have no right to share the gift of our Lord with me."

Hurst paused, and then said: "What's more, you have no intention of keeping your promise."

As soon as he finished speaking, the originally closed door of the greenhouse was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and a group of tall men in black rushed in with guns in their hands. Gin and Hess could smell a strong smell of blood from their bodies.

The sudden change made everyone stunned, but the intruders did not. They raised their guns and began to scan everyone except Gin without hesitation.

After the hail of bullets, only Gin and Hess, who was half squatting on the ground, were still alive.

crackling.

The bullet stopped within a few centimeters of Hess's surface, and then fell to the ground with a crisp sound. Several old people who presided over the ceremony with Hess had already fallen in a pool of blood and groaned in pain.

Hess looked at Gin, who still had no expression on his face, but it didn't look like the planned calmness, instead it seemed to be empty, and he didn't seem to be aware of the current situation.

Hess: "Why, are you in such a hurry to cross the river and tear down the bridge?"

Some of the men in black had quickly reloaded and filled their ammunition, but the leader quickly waved his hand to tell them not to rush to shoot, and took out a tablet computer from behind. people.

"boss."

Before Hess could speak, Gin had already recognized the person on the screen.

"Stand back, Gin." A voice came from the screen, "Your task has been completed."

This time Gin also realized that this was their final plan to organize the boss, but he was also excluded because he and Hess knew each other in the past?

But until now, he had no reason to disobey the boss's order, so he had to retreat outside the greenhouse.
