What does this mean?
You know, after being parasitized, Hem spent a long time with a group of police officers without any protection...
If even these people get out of control...
"Boom boom boom!"
The sudden knock on the door startled everyone.
"I thought I heard a gunshot—"
Zafira's voice came from outside.
"Can anyone still alive say something?"
There was a cubicle away from the door, so he couldn't hear clearly.
After thinking it over, he still felt uneasy, so he simply comforted the people in the queue, found someone to take his place, and ran in to check the situation himself.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred.
Hitzfeld only felt a gust of fragrant wind coming, and his body was pulled back by the waist, with his feet off the ground and moving quickly away from the corpse.
stab-
Then she heard a loud bang like a crack.
The one-eye was fixed on the corpse. She saw countless roots spreading out from the smashed skull, wrapping up the entire corpse.
The flesh and blood were quickly broken down and digested.
Like magic... a delicate sapling emerged from Hem-Blit's corpse.
It grew from the thickness of a finger to the thickness of a bowl in three seconds. Its roots pierced the floor, and its trunk and branches poked through the ceiling and walls, causing the house to shake violently.
The people in the room were forced to retreat into a corner, trembling in fear, until the outrageous growth stopped completely.
With a few loud bangs, the door was kicked in pieces by Zafira three times.
He rushed in and felt relieved when he saw a few people in the corner.
But Herm seems to be gone...
And what are they looking at?
Following his line of sight, he walked around to the back of the door and saw the tree that had grown to the point of being "standing tall".
"This...what is this?"
"It's Mr. Blitt."
Hitzfeld sighed, walked out, walked past Zafira, opened the door, and saw a large group of police officers blocking the door.
Some of these people stared at her, their faces filled with confusion.
Others kept looking eastward.
That is the location of the thatched house.
"What happened?" she asked the man who was covering for Zafira.
"I'm not sure..." the man stammered.
"It seems that something happened in the thatched house."
"what's the situation."
"Uh……"
"It seems that those businessmen... turned into trees."

Chapter 51: The Oak Demon
The task Ethan received from Xia Yibing was to guard the thatched house.
He was very happy when he heard Xia Yibing describe her decision to give Hitzfeld the greatest trust. Because he actually felt that Hitzfeld could not be infected by the parasitic seed, and that thing should not be able to infect a God Devourer.
So he didn't notice that Xia Yibing had a strange expression on her face and her tone and wording were quite perfunctory when she described these things.
It's almost 12 o'clock now.
He took out his pocket watch and took a look, confirming that the hour hand was close to the top mark.
Time flies...it's almost noon.
However, the sky was still dark, and it would take at least another eighteen hours before we could see the sun.
Putting away the pocket watch, Ethan felt a little annoyed.
Villefort had spoken to him before coming to Hernac.
It was quite early, strictly speaking, he came to him just after finishing the first treatment of Hitzfeld. He described to him in detail what Hitzfeld saw in his further nightmare visions, which surprised Ethan.
Heidegger was a surname he had long abandoned. This was Villefort's intention as well as his own, because his feelings for this surname were really...
He felt betrayed.
Childhood memories came to his mind, and every scene between Eric Heidegger and himself was vividly played out in his mind. However, they did not bring Ethan any comfort. He only felt angry for the other party's betrayal.
Villefort thought that there might be a chance of a turnaround, but he did not think so. He felt that no matter what the reason was, no matter what the hidden secrets were, if all the information pointed to that person betraying the information, he must believe it.
I have the blood of sinners flowing in my body...
The truth behind the nightmare that haunted a Shadow Lion agent for countless long nights was so real that telling it to others would probably lead to ridicule from his peers.
So he could only make up a story that Ethan Doyle's family was killed by an evil spirit, in order to make himself more sociable and appear to be the same as other agents.
But his heart has never been relieved. Whether he is investigating cases, solving crimes, fighting evil spirits or training new people, he always holds the purest belief when doing these things: I want to atone my sins.
He felt that no one in the Security Bureau had a stronger faith than himself, and he had to chant the goddess' name almost every night before he could fall asleep.
And now, the opportunity has come.
According to Villefort, there are too many strange things revealed in the natural disaster case more than 40 years ago. He personally holds a conservative view on Agent Heidegger's betrayal and said that there may be a chance to "clear your father's name."
Ethan had no hope.
He felt that since the incident happened so long ago and had already been finalized in the public's mind, even if the person was wrongly accused and the matter was resolved perfectly...it wouldn't actually change anything.
Many cases will have their files sealed even if they are solved because they involve secrets. Not to mention civilians and nobles, even other agents in the bureau may not be qualified to see them.
What can that change?
The status quo and the injustices will remain the same.
What's more, he didn't think Eric Heidegger was wronged at all.
Yes, he had thought so since he first heard the news... That cold-blooded man was indeed suspicious no matter how you looked at it, wasn't he? As far as he knew, the agents in the bureau who had families valued this relationship very much, and no one would treat them in that way.
"I don't think you actually think that way."
In the office at that time, Villefort looked him in the eyes and said.
"You know what I mean. You actually know everything. It's just that forty years of suffering have smoothed your edges and engraved the hatred for him into your soul."
"I don't hate him..."
"Then why do you not care?" He was immediately interrupted, "Do you really want to believe that he is a bad person? Can't you tell whether he is indifferent to you or loves you?"
He chose to respond with silence.
"I have watched you grow up step by step." Villefort sighed, "Of course... I have also witnessed his care for you. If you can't figure it out, you can ignore it for now, but you always have to have a goal."
"Target……?"
"Are you satisfied with just investigating cases, discovering new talents, and training the younger generation?"
"Have you ever thought of giving them a real blow?"
"If Eric really betrayed - do you believe he was like this from the beginning? He couldn't have been a traitor when he was born?"
He narrowed his eyes.
Of course not.
"Who led him step by step into this dead end? Who caused all this? Have you ever thought about making those people pay the real price?"
Those words echoed in his mind again, and his eyes looked into the night even sharper.
"You must be a very talented agent, Ethan."
“But you haven’t been able to show your spirit yet.”
"You think that power comes from the blood of a sinner. You are not qualified... You are unwilling to touch it even if you die."
"But there is no right or wrong in power."
"I've been trying to make you understand this. It doesn't seem to be working. So now that this case has come to me... and now that those bastards are involved in Elnak Town again, I'm going to give you a secret mission."
"Task……?"
"If you touch that thing, there must be someone watching nearby. There must be someone lying in ambush in the town of Elnak. I want you to find him."
“This is something he couldn’t do back then.”
"What do you think? If you succeed, it means you have surpassed him. You can also use this to wash away that sin and become your true self again."
“But be careful.”
“Those people, those things.”
"They are extremely dangerous..."
If I had ever felt that this was dangerous, I would have chosen to end my life forty years ago.
With a sneer on his lips, Ethan felt his blood boiling.
I haven't been in this state for a long time, and the time span in between is terribly long.
The director is right.
Even if I have no hope for him, I still have to find a goal in life.
There was a commotion behind me.
Turning back suddenly, he saw a shocking scene.
The people behind the cordon of the thatched house - those people were dispersing rapidly.
In the middle position, there are seven or eight people standing in various postures.
Some were kneeling, some were standing.
The common point is that they all look extremely painful. The most extreme ones simply roll on the ground holding their chests and screaming miserably.
problem occurs.
His expression changed, and Ethan shouted to the guards to control the situation. He took out his gun and stepped over the cordon, wanting to get closer to those people to check the situation.
But soon he stopped.
"Sizzle... sizzle..." sounds came out one after another.
It was like cheers, welcoming the vines that emerged from the flesh and blood.
He could only stand there and watch as those people were quickly wrapped by vines, and then quickly took root in the ground and grew into young oak trees.
What is this...
Before I could be shocked by this scene, another strange thing happened.
The branches of the oak trees poked through the roof, causing the ground to tremble slightly.
They are still growing.
Those branches and trunks continue to converge towards the center.
