I Have A Divine Tree In My Heart

“The door… was knocked open!”

Lin Yao was not the only one who had thought of this. Both Li Shan and the heavy-duty fighter in front of the door had realized this.

After listening to Mr. Wang’s words, all the fighters instinctively clenched the shields in their hands.

Li Shan was the only one who said normally, “It’s good that you’re alright now.”

As he spoke, Captain Li moved to the side, as if he felt that the area was too dark. While Mr. Wang was speaking to him, his head also turned in Li Shan’s direction. The two fighters then attempted to seize this chance to paste the talismans in their hands on Mr. Wang’s back.

However, just as they made this move, Mr. Wang, who was looking ahead, suddenly stopped moving. He said in an agitated voice, “What are you doing? I’ve already said that the obscure woman let me go. She won’t come looking for me again… But you guys… Wait a minute. Who is the obscure woman? When did I meet her…”

As he spoke in confusion, the humane feelings of good and evil gradually disappeared from Mr. Wang’s body, and malice akin to that exuded by freaks rapidly appeared.

While he felt confused, Mr. Wang’s body also began to decay rapidly.

At the moment, Li Shan couldn’t care anymore. As he gestured to the fighters behind him to put the talisman on Mr. Wang, he yelled, “What does that obscure woman look like? When did she come over? Tell me!”

Boom!

The talisman had been put on Mr. Wang’s body, delaying the decomposition of his body. When Li Shan asked these questions, Mr. Wang answered them instinctively.

“The first day you guys withdrew the protection, the obscure woman came in… Ah! That explains it! She knocked on the door and entered the room. I’ve already seen her and I’m… already dead!”

As Mr. Wang recalled how he had died, he also turned dead completely.

The most obvious sign was that the feelings of good and evil in humans had disappeared entirely, leaving only hatred and bitter resentment behind.

“It’s all your fault! You guys didn’t protect me well! You’re the ones who caused my death. I curse all of you! You guys will also die bitterly. All of you must die!”

As he uttered these words of hatred and resentment, Mr. Wang, who had a crazily-distorted face, had completely turned into a freak the moment he’d found out that he was dead. At the same time, consumed by hatred, he also pounced on a fighter close to him.

It was a heavy-duty fighter who already had his tough shield in front of him. Unfortunately, Mr. Wang, who had become a freak, seemed to have transformed into another ghost that could disregard a shield’s defense.

However, he didn’t hurt the soldier in the end. Just as he stretched out his hand, a booming, thunderous sound suddenly echoed in this small space.

Boom!

The thunderous sound was akin to the fury of heaven. Upon hearing this sudden and terrifying thunderous sound, the freak that had caused Mr. Wang’s transformation froze instantly and looked like it was trembling in fear.

Seizing this opportunity, Li Shan, who had heard Lin Yao’s Deafening Thunder Roar several times, was the first to come back to his senses. He drew an electric shock device full of runes and pressed the device against the freak’s body.

Buzz, buzz, buzz.

Amid the sound of this terrifying electrocution, the freak created by Mr. Wang’s transformation dimmed rapidly. At the same time, the surrounding fighters also came back to their senses gradually. They took out their electric shock devices as well and aimed for the freak’s body.

Buzz, buzz, buzz.

After a few dozen breaths of time, when everything was over, the ghost of Mr. Wang’s transformation had disappeared completely.

At this point, the inquiry ended.

However, unlike in the past, the group of fighters who completed this mission did not feel the slightest bit happy. All of them were upset by the tragedy that had unfolded before their eyes, and one of the newly-graduated young policemen had tears on his face as he smashed his fist against the wall.

“It’s our fault.”

“If we had protected him for longer…”

Upon seeing the grave atmosphere amongst the team, Lin Yao could only step forward.

“Don’t be affected by his last words. He had already become a freak, so he was not human…”

“Is it important whether he was human or not? We are the ones who did not protect him properly. It’s our incompetence that killed him.”

“You guys have already done your best. We can’t possibly protect everyone.”

“No, ordinary citizens like you just need to do what they can, but we are soldiers. Our duty is to guard the country, and we must protect everyone.”

Lin Yao was stunned by these words.

“The military and armed police are indeed the last city wall of the country.”

In the end, he could only steer away from the topic. “It is useless to regret it now. If you really want to protect the public and avenge Mr. Wang, what we have to do is find this hidden freak.”

At last, these words ignited everyone’s fighting spirit.

“You are right. We must find that freak.”

“Let’s go to Mr. Wang’s original residence… No… Let’s go in and inspect this place first.”

Everyone entered the house and inspected the room where Mr. Wang had been residing lately. During the inspection, everyone discovered that Mr. Wang had been dead for a long time, as many things in the room had not been touched. Unfortunately, Lin Yao did not sense the aura of a freak in this residence.

After going to Mr. Wang’s original residence, Lin Yao made no other discoveries either. He even circled the building of the apartment several times, but to no avail.

In the end, the aggrieved and indignant group could only head to the next suspicious location and hand over the case of the freak knocking on the man’s door in a dream to the city’s higher-ups to assign it to someone else.

“Why are we handing this case over to other people?”

“Because we’re too weak to handle it.”

At the sight of everyone’s downhearted faces, Lin Yao could only encourage them. “Look at the bright side. Mr. Wang will be able to seek revenge soon if a powerhouse takes over this case.”

Li Shan reluctantly replied to this, “Boy, don’t worry. We’re not that fragile. We’re just feeling upset.”

Then, he said hesitantly, “Although it is very selfish of me to say this, can you please remain in Ninghai City after you graduate from school? We need powerhouses here.”

It was very important for a city to have its guardian angel. Besides keeping watch in Ninghai City, they could also solve problems quickly during difficult encounters.

If a powerhouse had been present when Mr. Wang had encountered the freak, this tragedy would likely have been avoided.

Ninghai City was part of China and could seek help from the state when it encountered problems it could not handle. The country’s capital would also send people to deal with the situation. However, it would take some time, and this could not be compared to having a guardian angel stationed there.

“Unless there are any unforeseen circumstances, I will be stationed in Ninghai City.”

“Thank you… Sigh… Forget it. Don’t listen to me. You can decide for yourself. You will be serving our country regardless of where you are.”

Li Shan was in a dilemma. He hoped that Lin Yao would remain in Ninghai and stabilize the situation in Ninghai after he became powerful. At the same time, he was afraid that Ninghai was too backward and would hinder his future.

This was also the reason that cities with underdeveloped areas would do their best to groom the geniuses raised there. They needed powerhouses but were unable to attract good geniuses. Therefore, they could only manipulate their emotions.

As he sighed, Li Shan still felt reluctant to ‘kidnap’ Lin Yao. He thus advised him to make his choice after careful consideration.

During this conversation, everyone arrived at the second suspicious location and the group started to investigate.

Thus, Lin Yao began searching for traces of freaks on the way.

During the search, he had only one thought in mind when he read about the strange, puzzling abnormalities in the dossier.

‘Damn it! After reading all of this, the freaks in the amusement park seem much simpler and more forthright! Aren’t there any reckless freaks?’

There were certainly reckless freaks. The mysterious land aside, humans were certainly stronger than freaks in reality. As soon as a reckless freak appeared, the Sky Eye would detect it and a powerhouse would fly over within five minutes to deal with it. In addition, there were continuous human reinforcements. If the patrol team was unable to defeat the freak, the special forces would be sent, followed by the city’s guardian angel. Provincial surveillance envoys and the state guardian angel (king) were also guarding the country.

If one hit a little one, the older ones would come to take revenge. This was the current situation.

Even if a king could not defeat this freak, the country could use national weapons.

Unless the freaks reached the catastrophic level… No, this would not do either. Lin Yao remembered a piece of news about a group of kings working together to quell numerous natural disasters. In the past, he had thought that these were true natural disasters, but now…
