Chapter 100 Solve the pest in advance

"I'm in Shahe Town too. Where are you? I'll come find you."

The cell phone rang, and there was a message from the stationmaster. Tang Jingming reassessed the stationmaster's work attitude: I misunderstood you. It turns out that you didn't want to put this matter aside, but you had already set out and arrived. You didn't allow me to solve the problem at the root. This is your way of behavior, and I have no right to interfere. But I don't want to stay in this broken place for too long, it's great that you can come.

"I'm across from the middle school."

At this time, Tang Jingming was not opposite the middle school. There was only one middle school in the town, and choosing to meet here would make it easier for the stationmaster to find him. After replying to the message, he quickly rushed to Shahe Town Middle School. He was very worried that if he arrived later than the stationmaster, it would be embarrassing.

"Okay, wait a minute, I'll be there soon."

Mu Zhengguang also set off immediately. If you have an appointment with someone, you should go there as soon as possible to avoid keeping the other person waiting for too long.

Tang Jingming wandered around the town for half a morning, and he knew the locations of several landmark buildings by heart. He soon arrived opposite the middle school. He looked around and found that the stationmaster had not arrived yet, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Mu Zhengguang didn't know the way, so he followed the navigation and went a little slower.

As soon as the two met, Mu Zhengguang stated his purpose: "I saw the pictures you sent. Don't worry, I have my own plans. Have you had lunch?"

"No."

"Let me treat you. How about the spicy hotpot restaurant next door?"

"it is good."

After lunch, they sat in the store for a while.

Mu Zhengguang had carefully read the assessment task and found that a key piece of information was "missing" in the task: "Cui Jiqiu did not appear at the insect plague site, right?"

"The people I interviewed said they didn't see him, and they didn't see him in the surveillance video either."

"That may be an insect plague caused by Asymptote's loss of control, not his intention. Are there very few mosquitoes near his house?"

Tang Jingming didn't pay much attention to this: "Not sure, it seems so."

Mu Zhengguang asked him again: "Cui Jiqiu can summon arthropods. If you have this ability, how would you use it?"

"Get rid of pests, raise insects, catch insects and sell them for money."

Tang Jingming had a more exotic use in mind, but he didn't dare to say it: summoning arthropods, this ability is small, but also big. Cui Jiqiu can not only summon, he can clearly summon and control them. Since he can control, he can make animals play their unique functions, such as using insects to carry electronic equipment for reconnaissance, tracking, and surveillance, which is much more exciting than catching and selling insects.

"That's about right. Insects that are harmful to him will not appear around him. Insects that are beneficial to him, the more the better. The assessment task is written very simply. Solving the insect plague will make people mistakenly think that it is solving Cui Jiqiu himself. If what he really wants to do is limited to eliminating insects, raising insects, catching insects, and selling insects, then it's nothing, and there's no need to make a fuss."

Tang Jingming retorted: "Even if his original intention was not to destroy the forest, it has already happened, so he should be punished, right?"

Mu Zhengguang had a different experience on this matter: Which of Qi Wenjing's subordinates that I met last month was not extremely evil? Were they punished? No. Punishment is only a means, not an end. Punishing a person is to make him stop doing evil, or to make it impossible for him to do evil. In short, punishment and evil coexist. If not punishing can also prevent people from doing evil, then there is no need to punish. "Not necessarily. When no one is at his home, we will go and see and make a decision."

"See if he keeps any insects?"

Mu Zhengguang shook his head: "This is only one aspect. A person who often deals with insects will definitely be affected by them. Insects, no, he doesn't summon all insects, just arthropods. These animals are alive, and their breathing, flapping wings, crawling, and chirping will definitely have an impact on people's daily lives. If he can maintain his self-identity in this impact, then we can talk to him."

Tang Jingming had no hope of solving the problem from the root. The stationmaster's idea was indeed unusual and had its merits, but it might not be feasible. However, as a subordinate, he did not need to make too many suggestions. When the stationmaster delivered the accurate order, he only needed to raise his hands in approval and fully cooperate: "Okay. Let's take action tonight?"

"Do you think it's better for us to go in and check the house, or not?"

"Come inside."

Mu Zhengguang was very averse to invading other people's privacy without reason. When his assistant made a wrong suggestion, he tactfully corrected it: "It's unnecessary. Insects cannot fail to make noises or emit odors. With our hearing and sense of smell, there is no need to enter the house. Perhaps it is because he is at home during the day and suppresses insects, so outsiders can't notice the insects in the house. After he leaves, these phenomena will surface. Where do you live?"

"Blue Sky Hotel."

"How far is it from Cui Jiqiu's house?"

“Less than 300 meters.”

"Great. When we see him go out at night, we'll check outside his house. You went to the disaster area this morning, so take me there too."

The stationmaster walked with him and he felt the daylight weakening.

The trees were eaten by unknown insects, leaving no leaves, only bare tree trunks standing on the wasteland. It is not difficult to imagine that when the insect swarms gathered a few days ago, this land and sky were covered with dense, countless insects. The insect swarms left, but their "masterpiece" remained.

In the morning, Mu Zhengguang only looked at the photos and was not so impressed. Now that he was at the scene, he was so shocked that he could not speak. He was speechless for a long time, thinking about the insect plague in his heart, and he also mentioned this matter: "There are insect plagues in Shahe Town every day, right?"

"It is said that it is so."

"We have to speed up the process." Mu Zhengguang was not in a hurry at first, but after seeing the damaged forest, he decided to solve the problem as soon as possible. After visiting and investigating, he came up with a guess: there were multiple insect infestations in Shahe Town, and the first insect infestation occurred on June 6, the day before the college entrance examination results were released. Something very special must have happened on that day for Cui Jiqiu, and it was because of this incident that the asymptote went out of control.

He asked Tang Jingming: "The college entrance examination results will be released on June 6th. Is there any way to check the results in advance?"

"Yes, you can go to the county to check your scores on the afternoon of June 6th."

Will checking the score make the asymptote out of control? It's hard to say. Xu Wanyang checked the score, and her asymptote didn't change. Speaking of out of control, there is one person who looks like she is out of control, the owner of the silver memory key, the one riding the ice dolphin, her existence has changed dramatically. I didn't think about it when it happened, but I gradually realized afterwards: her impure ice power suddenly turned into some kind of memory power in an instant, and her asymptote changed. Then I was chopped. However, I got her memory power and made it a branch of my asymptote, which was a pleasant surprise.

Regardless of whether Cui Jiqiu's asymptotes have changed or are out of control, I need to understand the type of his asymptotes and infer his characteristics from the type of the line. The personal information written on the task is not comprehensive enough to see the details. It would be nice to see the replay of his competition in the modeling competition.

After sorting out his thoughts, Mu Zhengguang sent a message to the dean of the branch: "Dean, hello, can I check the replay of Cui Jiqiu's game in the semi-finals? I want to know how he used his abilities in the arena."
