While studying at the Ursus Royal Academy, Leonid was very interested in the culture of the Yan Kingdom. In his eyes, these strange square characters combined in a magical way have extremely unique charm. A lot of meanings can be interpreted in just a few words, and their attractiveness is second only to the Rutland relics in the firearms course.
Even after so many years, he has not forgotten much of the knowledge he learned in the library at that time. The ancient poems from the Yan Kingdom and the principles of firearms from Rutland are still firmly in his mind, as if they will last forever. will not forget.
The scene that appeared in front of him at this moment was like a key, opening up the dust-covered memories again, reminding Leonid of the books he had read in the sun.
"There is no way out despite the mountains and rivers, but there is another village where there are bright willows and bright flowers."
The unimaginable green spread violently like smoke in front of everyone's eyes, covering all the yellow sand and ruins in just a blink of an eye. The pungent smell that originally filled the air also disappeared at this time, and it seemed that even the Origin Stone Cluster had been replaced by the life in front of him.
Countless thick trees grew crazily in the eyes of the shield guards and the integration movement. In just a few breaths, they took out their buds and grew into green leaves, swaying in the breeze and making a rustling sound.
Before they could react, these trees had grown as tall as the buildings on the roadside, and there were even vines hanging down from the branches, intertwined like spider webs.
The roses slowly climbed up from the corner, covering the surface of the building at a slightly slower growth rate than the trees. Although these cute little elves look very fragile, they grow with an irresistible momentum and advance like an army until they cover the entire building.
When the shield guards came to their senses in front of the miracle, the world in their eyes had turned into a forest.
Spring in Ursus has arrived early and with greater intensity than any other year.
"My Luo Tianyi..."
Leonid stared at the trees and flowers in front of him and marveled in a low voice.
As a former gang boss, he may not have seen the world as much as the shield guards, but at least he has encountered a lot of the bloody and cruel side of the world. He knows more clearly than everyone present how dark the human heart is. , after all, he himself is quite dark.
You said that Leonid wouldn't be so surprised if he encountered scenes such as the coming of winter, the lava eruption, and the Night Parade of Hundred Demons that would make people feel great pain and fear. At most, he would just frown and grit his teeth and be done with it.
What operation has he not seen before?
But he had never seen this operation before.
What's going on with this sudden forest? Was it created by the enemy? Then you don't feel the slightest bit of danger?
What is this, an illusion?
He did not stare blankly at the plants in front of him like others, but kept scanning the surrounding environment while using the information obtained by his eyes to think.
From the current point of view, it is unlikely that the forest in front of me is an illusion. Beings with such spiritual Origin Stone skills that can confuse them all must be elites in the army. It is overqualified to ambush the guerrillas on a small road. It is better to deal with the Rhode Island team.
Moreover, since he entered the Integration Movement, he has never heard of a warlock who can create illusions in the organization, except Mephistopheles.
In addition, these flowers, plants, and trees all feel very real to people. If you look carefully, you can see the lines on the leaves and petals, and there will be corresponding feedback when you touch them lightly. It is basically difficult to restore such a real scene with Originium technology. Come out, even if it is an illusion.
There will always be differences between man-made products and naturally occurring species, and it is almost impossible to be 100% identical.
So, in the end there is only one answer left.
The forest in front of you is real, it has grown and taken shape in just a few breaths.
On top of the ruins, a tropical rainforest grew.
Birds with colorful feathers are flying in the thick canopy, as light as elves in fairy tales. A thick and long giant python appeared in Leonid's field of vision, spitting messages at him, but quickly turned away and crawled into the dense bushes.
A lizard fell from the wall and landed on the wounded man's chest. The gunner felt the weight on his chest, turned his sight away from the forest on the road, and met a pair of huge round eyes.
…
The next second, a deafening sound of Sukabule woke everyone up.
"What's wrong?"
The shield guard who took off his helmet squatted down to hold the gunner's shoulder, and glanced at his companion's body, trying to see if he had suffered any injuries.
The lizard ran away when he shouted, sticking out its tongue at the coward before leaving.
"no no."
The gunner took a deep breath and calmed down his tense spirit.
"A lizard suddenly appeared on my body just now, and I was scared."
Although the guerrillas are veterans who have seen blood, they are also human beings, and it is normal for them to be frightened.
"Then you should be glad that what suddenly appeared on your chest was not a grenade."
Leonid knelt down and chuckled, returning the earphone in his left ear to the shield guard.
The bait was needed just now because they had no way to leave here and had to resort to this. Now a forest has grown on the surface. The sniper at a height can see nothing but green leaves, and they can move forward as usual.
"How are your injuries? It's time for us to get out of here."
He lifted his chin toward the forest outside, indicating that this was a perfect opportunity to escape.
"Isn't this dangerous?"
It was obvious that the shield guard was uneasy about the sudden appearance of the forest.
"It would be too easy for people with this kind of Origin Stone skills to kill us. There is no need to create a forest."
Leonid waved to the doctor behind him and motioned for him to bring over the simple stretcher.
"And the lizard that just fell on his body slipped away without attacking him. This means that the animals in the forest are not hostile to us."
He thought of the giant python he had just seen, and just spat a few words at him before leaving. Looking in the direction, it seemed to have crawled into the building on the other side.
"I prefer to believe that these animals are our friends and are here to help us get rid of snipers."
Hearing this, the shield guard smiled and said nothing.
The doctor brought a simple stretcher and placed it next to the injured. Leonid took a few steps back and carefully hugged the gunner's calf, trying to put him on the stretcher with him.
But just as he was about to exert force, the injured man's voice attracted his attention.
"Wait a moment!"
The gunner kept patting his wounds with an expression on his face as if he had seen a ghost. He stared at the shield guard beside him and couldn't close his mouth.
"I seem...I seem to be healed!"
He slowly sat up and untied the cloth wrapped around his lower abdomen. In the eyes of everyone, he lifted up the hem of his clothes, making the wound visible to everyone.
But there were no wounds. The place where the arrow had just pierced was as smooth as ever, with only a small scar proving that this location was indeed injured.
In the short period of time since he was injured, the only strange thing that has appeared is this forest.
The group of guerrillas and Integrated Movement soldiers fell silent again.
The sudden appearance of the forest, the non-hostile creatures, the lizards that can heal injuries and illnesses...
All this turned into countless question marks lingering in everyone's mind.
"Efim?"
Leonid stood up slowly, looked at the green outside and called his little brother.
"What?"
He was still immersed in this series of shocks.
"Do you believe in God?"
Leonid asked this question for the second time.
Not long ago, when he was still in the Longmen slum, he saw Valentin, who was knocked down by a gun and lying on the ground unaware of his life or death, asking Yefim this sentence for the first time.
At that time, the other party's response was disbelief.
"letter."
But this time, he nodded and chose to believe.
The shock brought to people by the scene in front of them can only be compared to the miracles recorded in the "Oracle", the official book of the Lateran Holy See.
"You should believe it."
…
You should believe it.
Leonid muttered to himself, his eyes dull, but his mind recalled something that happened when he first met Valentin two years ago.
At that time, he was preparing to take action against these two ignorant guys, but he urgently suspended the mission he had announced the night before the plan was to be implemented.
In his dream, a man who called himself a "prophet" talked to him about Valentine.
"He can enable you to realize your ambitions and ensure the safety of your daughter."
When he heard this voice, Leonid felt that he was not sleeping but still awake, so he sat on the bed and talked to this strange guy.
"Why should I believe you?"
This statement made Leonid feel ridiculous.
"I can enter your dream and talk to you, I can know what you are thinking in your heart."
These two sentences silenced him.
"Then why should I trust those two young men?"
"They can save your daughter's life."
"The life of the body, the life of the spirit."
Leonid fell silent again, his heart wavered.
"You should believe it."
As soon as the voice said the last five words, Leonid woke up. He was not lying on the bed, he was sitting on the bed just like he felt in the dream.
A few minutes later, Leonid called his subordinates and stopped the situation he had set. Even when he was on the phone, those five words still lingered in his ears for a long time.
You should believe it.
