Dow and Carbon-Based Monkey Breeding Guidelines

Chapter 991: Shooting Down the Stars (Part )

Luo Binhan sat quietly for a while. He heard the chirping of birds in the shade of the nearby trees, the sunlight rolling over the water like molten gold, and the laughter of the couple in the distance. Today could have been a beautiful day. He sighed and reached into the backpack behind him.

"You're not done yet, are you?" he said listlessly. "Well, it looks like there's going to be a third round."

"Not surprising?"

"Not really." Luo Binhan pulled out a hanging bag from his bag. "I heard that the knife could kill you, and I saw you burn with my own eyes. Theoretically, you should be finished. But I just feel that you are not that easy to deal with. You were reborn from the ashes? It seems that this knife is not as powerful as they say."

"Reborn? No. The fire on that knife can kill me."

"That's interesting," Robinson said, as he began to think about what was going on. "I thought you were really unkillable."

"Although it can be said that, this protection works at the level of cause and effect. There have always been many things that can destroy me from the mechanism of action, but because they cannot produce the result of killing me, this weapon will never have the opportunity to be used on me. If the user of the weapon really has the ability to hit me, then he will encounter an accident before this person and I collide."

Luo Binhan stopped pulling out the knife and thought for a moment. "That arm is not yours. Luo De could turn into another person to knock on the door, so he could certainly imitate you... but Luo De is dead. Colain?"

"Isn't there a third person?"

"I thought that man was unimportant. Such a boring guy, I even forgot his name."

"Is he the only one you forgot?"

Luo Binhan frowned. He was very sure that only three people disappeared from the prison. "Whatever you say," he simply threw the bag aside. "You are still alive. I have worked for nothing for a month. It's really sad. But there are many people in this world who work for nothing. I am not a big deal. But why are you jumping out now? Are you finally going to kill me?"

"I never meant to kill you."

"Ah, so you came here specifically to work for me."

"This is the exchange between Zhou Yu and my brother. As long as he is still performing his duties as a caretaker, no force related to my brother can endanger your life."

  Luo Binhan couldn't help but roll his eyes. Maybe he would have pretended to be touched yesterday, but now he just wanted to put Zhou Yu's head in the fish tank and ask this idiot how many surprises he didn't know. Who would do things like this? He had to wait until Zhou Wenxing came to tell him news like this!

He tried not to get angry, because after all, this was good news. "So," he said, folding his arms, "you really can't do anything to me? Unless you kidnap my family, just for fun."

"Why would I do that?"

"That's a good question. I also wonder why you keep pestering me. But it's up to you. I just learned some new information yesterday. For example, I don't need to worry about the things you planted on the moon, and it turns out that you can't even beat Zhou Yu - hey, I suddenly realized that I don't have to do anything at all, and I don't even need to pay you overtime."

"Did Zhou Yu tell you?"

"Yeah. What's wrong? Does he overestimate himself?"

"That's not the case either. To him, I and that flower really are not a threat."

Luo Binhan suddenly felt a little uneasy. This thing was admitted too easily. But he couldn't judge anything because the other party had always been like this. He tried not to show doubt and vigilance on his face, but yawned out of boredom. "I'm going to go to Zhou Yu's place." He asked nonchalantly, "Are you still going to follow me? I can't guarantee that he will welcome you."

"I came to say goodbye to you."

"Ah! Really?" Luo Binhan said with pretended delight, "Just go if you want to. Why are you even saying hello? It's like we know each other well!"

"Well, because I want to thank you."

"Thank me for giving you a job with no days off? No need. We bosses are born to be charitable."

Zhou Wenxing suddenly looked up at the sky. Luo Binhan followed his gaze and realized that he was looking for the position of the sun. Such a sinister walking corpse could actually look directly at the blazing sun, which may mean that many ghost stories are just people's wishful thinking. Although he stood in the shadow of the laurel branches, dots of bright yellow light still leaked on him. The sun and daylight are not all enemies of death.

After a while, Zhou Wenxing retracted his gaze and said, "It's time."

"You have to drive to the crematorium?"

"Zhou Yu is about to die."

  Luo Binhan raised his eyebrows. He didn't feel too strongly about this sentence, because it wasn't the first time the other party had played this trick. Last time, it was also next to a fountain, and this guy hinted to him that the blue magpie was in danger. At least there were a few blue magpie vine hairs as proof!

"You're really out of your depth," he said. "Are you serious? You expect to pull the same trick on me twice?"

Zhou Wenxing just stood there and smiled, but he didn't conjure up a handful of Zhou Yu's hair out of thin air. Luo Binhan slowly put down his hands, no longer holding a mocking attitude. But he still didn't think it was real. The only thing that couldn't be Zhou Yu.

"Okay, I'm not interested in dealing with you anymore." He said in a tone like he was shooing away flies. "If you mentioned someone else's name, I would really be worried for a while, after all, they are not in front of me today. But I saw Zhou Yu yesterday, and he was still alive and kicking! What? Did you plant a time bomb at his workplace? Or did you suddenly acquire a new skill?"

"Why do you always feel that I did it? I was never the one who wanted to kill Zhou Yu the most."

"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot that you have an accomplice named Chilabin."

"That person is not my accomplice. He is just an observer sent by his own organization. He took the initiative to find me to collect information. Although I didn't ask in detail, he is probably not a combatant, but just a scholar obsessed with original species research."

The more Luo Binhan listened, the more confused he became. He looked at the other person in bewilderment. "You wrote his name on that card, and you also wrote the address of No. 206 Dongyun Road and..."

"If not, it will be difficult for you to deliver the things to Zhou Yu in time."

"what?"

Zhou Wenxing looked up at the sky again. This time Luo Binhan didn't know what he was looking at. There seemed to be only an endless void. He looked into the void and said, "The person who wants to kill Zhou Yu is Feng Chuxing."

Luo Binhan sat there with his mouth open for a moment, then asked in confusion, "Who the hell is Feng Chuxing?" Zhou Wenxing laughed. This was the first time Luo Binhan had seen him so happy, like an audience member who had just watched the highlight of a play. "Didn't you mention him yourself?" He asked briskly, "Don't you mean you've never thought about what Xiaochu's full name is?"

Luo Binhan stood up from the poolside, and when he stood up, he forgot about the problem with his left knee and almost staggered into the pool. He steadied himself in time, thinking that this was still just an old trick with a slight renovation, a new bottle for old wine. No, Zhou Wenxing had never been close to Lan Que at the beginning, let alone dealing with Zhou Yu who was well prepared. Although he had no idea what Zhou Yu's ability was, didn't everyone take him seriously? That must mean that Zhou Yu was quite capable. Zhou Yu could even deal with Zhou Wenxing, so what about Feng Chuxing - Xiaochu? And Xiaochu couldn't possibly know Zhou Yu. This kid, who was only mentioned by Cai Ji, disappeared before he met Jing Huang, and he has never been found since then. Even if the missing kid is still alive and in some corner of this planet, there is no reason to kill Zhou Yu...

He paused in his thoughts and restrained any expression on his face, because Zhou Wenxing was looking at him with a knowing smile.

"Is there really no reason? Revenge, whether against good or bad people, against great people or mediocre people... is natural for everyone, right?"

"I don't know what you're talking about." Luo Binhan picked up the hanging bag and backpack with his hands. "Listen, I don't care about your conspiracy at all. You can make up whatever you want. I just need to go to Dongyun Road to take a look."

He was about to leave, but Zhou Wenxing did not chase him. Instead, he stood there and said, "It's better for you not to go there."

"Why, are you afraid of being exposed?"

"Zhou Yu is not there. If you go there first, you may not be able to see him for the last time."

"Well, you did make me a little angry." Luo Binhan couldn't help laughing. He let go of his equipment and raised his hands to show surrender: "But don't think you fooled me. I know you are playing tricks, but I have nothing to do anyway. Come on, tell me where he went?"

"To the place you told him."

"Don't be ridiculous. I didn't ask him to go anywhere."

"Didn't you show him those lyrics yourself?"

At first, Luo Binhan didn't understand what he was referring to, but soon he realized that the answer couldn't be anything else. Yesterday he gave Zhou Yu only one thing, and that notebook had only one page of content that could be called "lyrics."

"Ah," he said, "that funny poem at the beginning. I didn't know you were into writing that."

"Well, it was written specifically for Zhou Yu to read. It was written before the memorial ceremony. It feels more like a elegy, right? Although Zhou Yu may still find it a little strange, he should have read some of the documents left by Baihe. He is probably used to seeing the introduction written before the ceremony."

Luo Binhan stared at him. Unprecedented uneasiness gradually rose, and he suddenly realized what Zhou Wenxing meant by this. If the notebook in the box was intended for Zhou Yu to see from the beginning, then it would only be a trap prepared in advance.

"That poem didn't have a hidden beginning." He recalled, "What? Did you and Zhou Yu discuss a set of text codes?"

"No need for a password. Everything I want to tell him is written directly on the lyrics. Of course, you, who don't know the inside story, can't understand it. But given Zhou Yu's situation, he should be able to react after reading it for the first time. So, he should have set out for the wetland since yesterday."

There was only one place around Lihai City that could be called a "wetland," so there was no need to ask for confirmation. "What was he doing there?"

"Do you know what the most taboo thing is for the witches of Baihe?"

Luo Binhan stared at him. He always felt more disgusted when this guy suddenly changed the subject, because what followed was never good words.

"A body that has not been completely destroyed, even if it is only a part of the body, must not fall into the hands of untrustworthy people. This is because Baihe is a place where life and death cycle and the five elements change. Living life can easily change its form due to minor accidents, and the remains of the dead can easily be used to summon the dead, or directly given independent life. In that case, even if the soul that was once associated with the remains can resist the summoning, it will constantly remember the pain of death. People who died suddenly would probably feel more painful about this, right? So, during the time since you left, Zhou Yu should have been looking for the last part - just like the statue of the goddess, what was cut off was..."

"That's enough," said Robinson.

"You don't want to know the details at all?"

"If you say one more word I'll kill you."

"So, you don't even want to know about Xiaochu's affairs?"

Luo Binhan laughed mercilessly. "I don't care what the relationship between Feng Chuxing and you or 0206 is." He said coldly, "There are so many runaways in this world, I don't need to cry hypocritically every time I hear about one. If he happens to be liked by 0206, then I congratulate him for finding a good master. It's a pity that his cheap master died, and I have never heard of a pet ant being able to avenge its owner."

"Do you really think of Xiao Chu like this?"

"You don't think I'm the type who would put on a fake tone of compassion when seeing a crying child? I'm sorry I didn't call him 0206's little follower or apprentice. Hey, he certainly can't have inherited Wuyuanren's brain, right? Or did he get some neutrinos? If he is an ordinary person, then tell me what 0206 taught him? Flying? Making a wishing machine?"

Zhou Wenxing thought about it, then nodded and smiled and said, "Press the button."

"Press the button," Robin Han repeated, almost bursting into laughter.

"That's really the best we can do. If we don't have the corresponding computing power, we can't truly understand the core knowledge of Wuyuanren. At best, we can only master the use of basic equipment after a lot of learning and modification. But that's enough. Because the spirit field shield has been set up, after the target enters the effective range, all we have to do is just press a button."

Luo Binhan still had a sneer on his face. In his heart, he couldn't help but think of the strange poem written in the notebook, which should be considered as lyrics according to Zhou Wenxing. Don't be led astray - he kept saying - don't be led astray by what this thing said. "Well, 0206 left him a spiritual field blocker," he began to provoke, "then why didn't he do it earlier? He has been idle for more than two years and has nothing to do?"

"He's waiting for you to come back." Zhou Wenxing said, "The installation of the spirit field shield has environmental requirements. Although it is called a spirit field shield, the measuring instrument in the starter needs to be in a medium or high spirit field at the time of initial activation to turn it into a spirit-free environment. In order to deal with the Xuanhong Jade, 0206 chose two locations to pollute the environment and then install spirit field shields. The one in Aries City has been used. Unfortunately, the situation he encountered was the same as 0101 in the past. The spirit field shield has no effect on the law-like creatures outside its range and is easily broken... So, the remaining trap was left in the wetland. Because it is kept in a cooling state for a long time, it cannot be recognized by 0312's spirit field detector. Although Xiaochu has the core device of the starter and knows how to put it back in place and issue a startup command, he can't lead Zhou Yu to that location. So he found me and asked me to find a way to complete this task."

Without any warning, Zhou Wenxing bowed slightly towards him, as if to express his gratitude. "Although I know the whereabouts of the last piece of debris, it is not easy to use this to lure Zhou Yu into the trap... If a slightly smarter beast finds someone nearby, it will not be lured by the food in the trap, right? Therefore, the address cannot be given to him by me, and the success rate of anonymous mailing is also very low. It must be sent to someone he trusts. After confirming that I am dead, or at least very likely to be dead, the things he cares about will be delivered to him in the form of trophies. Even if he does not completely believe it, he must verify the authenticity of the information. Time will not be delayed for a long time - if it is a step slower, it may be moved away by people like Chilabin, right? Moreover, for something as important as that, there may be protective measures set up by 0206 and me nearby. Do you think he will use ordinary people as bait for experiments like you did? I think he probably won't. Then he can only go there to verify it himself. He will definitely go. Because besides your life, this is the second most important thing to him. Therefore, the answer you gave him in person after all the trouble will definitely lead him into Xiaochu's trap."

He had a genuine smile on his face, and waved his hand as if to say goodbye: "The trust of a watcher in his friend - if I don't get this thing from you, I can't fulfill Xiaochu's request. I'm really sorry to have to hurt you, and as compensation I want to come here to tell you the whereabouts of my friend. Then I'm leaving. If one day you have what I need, maybe we'll see each other again."

  The man with the guitar seemed to walk away from the gravel road by himself, or he seemed to disappear into the air like a ghost. Luo Binhan didn't care where he went, just stood there motionless. Another gust of wind blew, and the leaves on the branches rustled and expressed their opinions: Impossible. Absolutely impossible. What kind of trick is this? Are you going or not? Go? No?

He mechanically grabbed his sling bag and backpack and ran to where he had parked his car.
