After reading the file, knowing that he could not complete the strategy within three months just by relying on ordinary closeness, Xia Yi gave up staying with Mu Ling all day, and became more concerned about Mu Ling's secrets.

For most of the day, he watched the images coming from the [camera] while doing his own thing.

At the end of the first month, he finally discovered something strange.

In Mu Ling's room, there is a small, potted plant-like object.

The reason why it is said to be something like a potted plant, rather than a potted plant, is because it is just a branch inserted in a flowerpot.

There are still green leaves on the branches. During this month, whenever Mu Ling returned to the room after taking a bath, he would play with and swing the branches.

In the previous world line, Xia Yi also asked Mu Ling what a branch was. Mu Ling's answer was that the branch was something she used to practice her abilities.

By keeping the branches in a freshly broken, yet vibrant state, she exercises control over her abilities.

Now, Xia Yi, who carefully observed Mu Ling's actions, felt that the branch was not as simple as Mu Ling said.

One morning, when Mu Ling went out to work, Xia Yi used the [Master Key] to sneak into Mu Ling's bedroom and picked up the pot of branches from the bedside.

After picking it up, he was sure that the branch was unusual.

[Green Branch: After wearing it, the recovery speed of injuries is greatly increased. After eating it, agility +1]

The introduction column of props can only be triggered if you see it with your own eyes, otherwise Xia Yi would not know about it until now.

He fiddled with the branches twice more, trying to find the secrets Mu Ling hid inside, but found nothing.

When he was wondering if he was worrying too much, the bedroom door was opened and Mu Ling walked in.

When she saw Xia Yi, she was only slightly surprised, but after seeing the branch in Xia Yi's hand, her expression changed drastically.

"Don't touch!" Mu Ling shouted.

He had never seen such an excited expression on Mu Ling's face before. Xia Yi was shocked, and with a shake of his hand, the branch fell.

The flower pot was broken, the soil was scattered, and the roots of the branches were exposed.

Xia Yi stared at the roots of the tree and felt a chill in his heart.

The reason why a branch is a branch is because it is just a branch of a tree, and its root should be a break.

However, the roots of the branches on the ground are actually a bunch of rhizomes.

No, that's not a rhizome, if you look closely, it's human hair.

Just as Xia Yi was about to continue studying the branches, Mu Ling came to him. Green light appeared in her eyes, and a vine grew from her body and pierced Xia Yi's chest.

[Character is dead]

[Whether to read files]

In the black death space, Xia Yi sat cross-legged skillfully and summarized.

It is certain that the branch is not an ordinary branch. Judging from Mu Ling's violent attack and killing herself, this branch must be where her sin lies.

Then, all I have to do next is investigate the branches!

The long and bumpy road is not scary. The scary thing is that you can’t find the road. Now the road has appeared in front of you!

Read the file!

[Acquire skills - Wood Spirit Mark lv1]

Hmm? I also got a skill? Is the ability of the little expert in killing people activated?

However, this is not important. What is important is that he is about to investigate the secret of the branch.

So the question is, where should we investigate the secret of the branches?

Sitting on the bed, Xia Yi thought about it and found that the road ahead was still dark.

He clicked on [Wood Spirit Mark].

[Mark of the Wood Spirit: Proof of the identity of the Wood Spirit, increased affinity for flowers and plants]

This skill seems useless.

By the way, the ability of [Green Snake Mark] is to control snakes, and the ability of [Wood Spirit Mark] is to be affinitive with flowers and plants. Can you make up for whatever mark you want?

After lying on the bed and resting for a while, Xia Yi went to Mu Ling's bedroom.

He didn't go to see Mu Ling, but to steal something.

What he wants to steal is [Green Branch], which has the ability to speed up the recovery of injuries. Xia Yi, who has the ability to read files, does not care, but the last one, after eating it, can add agility instructions, which makes Xia Yi very excited.

The [Kappa's Ashes] I saw at Fang Bei's place last time should also be stolen. Unfortunately, I just wanted to clear the level last time and didn't steal that prop.

Using the [Master Key], Xia Yi opened Mu Ling's door and got in.

Without any trouble, he successfully obtained the [Green Branch] and picked up the props dropped in the previous world line.

After putting all the props into the [Backpack], Xia Yi clicked to load the file, but suddenly thought about it and wondered how Mu Ling would react if the [Green Branch] disappeared.

He installed the [camera], opened the door and walked out.

The moment she stepped out of the bedroom, Xia Yi was shocked.

In the corridor, a figure passed by.

That's the old housekeeper.

When he saw Xia Yi coming out of Mu Ling's bedroom, the old housekeeper did not greet him as usual, but showed a gentleman's smile and walked away.

Heaving a sigh of relief, Xia Yi reflected:

In the future, when you enter someone else's bedroom to steal something, you will have to install a [camera] outside to watch what's going on outside.

By the way, what did the old housekeeper think he was doing there?

Returning to his bedroom, Xia Yi turned on the computer and looked at the footage on the surveillance camera.

An hour later, Mu Ling came to the bedroom. She did not notice the disappearance of [Green Branch] immediately. Instead, after changing her clothes, she discovered that the bedside was empty.

She stood there, unable to move for five minutes, and her body slowly turned into a piece of wood.

Xia Yi turned off the computer and clicked on the file.

Coming to the initial time point again, Xia Yi used the [Master Key] to enter Mu Ling's room and installed the [Camera]. At the same time, he looked at the bedside. Branches and potted plants were well placed there, but no prop panel popped up anymore.

Come.

This time, she didn't meet the old housekeeper, and Xia Yi arrived at the bedroom safely.

Sitting in the bedroom, he took out [Green Branch].

Now the question comes, how can I eat this branch?

Just chew it or fry it?

As for the branches, I can barely eat them. The key is the roots of the branches, the big ball of hair...

Let's leave it alone for now. You can only have skills when your attributes reach 15. Now your agility attribute is only 10, so it's still early!

Xia Yi felt a sense of satisfaction when he put the [Green Branch] back in his backpack.

Collecting props in this way is also part of the fun of the game.

But this is just incidental fun. The key now is how to ask Mu Ling what the secret is in this branch.

While he was thinking, there was a knock on the door. Outside the door was Mu Ling and the little maid. Mu Ling came to ask him to have a meal.

Standing up, Xia Yi ate peacefully and spent the afternoon studying in the bedroom, but still couldn't think of a good way to ask about Zhi Zhi.

When the moon was deep and everyone was quiet, there was a knock on his bedroom door.

It was Mu Ling who came in.

In the previous world line, there was no such plot of meeting at night!
