Ultraman: The Serious Talents Become Light

Chapter 146 Standing in the flames, laughing at the incompetence of the "God of Death" (Part )

Shinichi Ooka is a very experienced botanist. Although he has not made any major research discoveries, the amount of knowledge contained in his brain is enough to be called an expert.

After returning to his research institute, Shinichi Ooka immediately looked for a lot of information and flipped through various books, trying to find a little information about Jiulan.

As an ancient plant, when orchid existed, humans were still in the ape stage and had not yet completed their evolution.

By the time humans actually appeared, the Jiulan on Earth had basically become extinct, so there is no record of Jiulan in human history.

"call……"

Shinichi Ooka, whose brain was a little dizzy after reading a lot of information, stopped. He looked at the time, put down the information, and went to his own greenhouse to take care of Jiulan.

As a botanist, his greenhouse has many flowers and plants, both common and rare.

This place is a paradise for flowers and plants.

When Shinichi Ooka pushed the door open, he saw a plate-sized orchid in bloom. In addition, the orchid's flower stalk had many long tentacles, which looked like green beards at first glance.

Shinichi Ooka has conducted preliminary research on the tentacles and found that these tentacles can absorb nutrients from the soil like the roots of other plants, but he is not sure why these tentacles grow on the flower stalks instead of taking root directly in the flower pots.

But today he made a discovery.

While watering the flowers, he noticed a tentacle piercing through the stalk of a nearby flower, like a person stabbing another person to death with a sword.

Shinichi Ooka carefully pulled out the tentacles, then moved the injured flower to one side, looking at the injured part, thinking about how to save the flower.

This is a relatively rare flower with a very low survival rate. Shinichi Ooka spent a lot of effort to grow it alive, but he didn't expect that it would be pierced by another flower.

The rescue plan requires sophisticated design, but before that, he needs to keep the flower alive longer.

So after watering all the flowers and plants, Shinichi Ooka walked out of the greenhouse with the injured flowers.

Three days later, Shinichi Ooka was delighted to find that the Jiulan had extremely strong vitality. If this gene was combined with other plants that were difficult to survive, it might be possible that plant extinction would never happen again in the future.

This was a very significant discovery, so he wanted to conduct experiments to see if his conjecture could be achieved.

A week later, Shinichi Ooka stopped the experiment. All the experimental plants he selected withered, and the tentacles of the genus Julan grew on their corpses.

These plants become nutrients!

"No, that's not what I want."

"This plant shouldn't exist in this world."

"Plants on Earth simply cannot coexist with it!"

Shinichi Ooka was shocked. He dug out all the tentacles, then lit them with alcohol and burned them to ashes.

As the flames went out, Shinichi Ooka suddenly remembered Jiulan in the greenhouse, and he hurried back.

crunch~

The door of the greenhouse was opened, and what greeted Shinichi Ooka was not the colorful clusters of flowers, but the tentacles of the orchid growing all over the greenhouse.

A more than one-meter-tall Jiulan stood in the middle of the greenhouse. The flowerpot under it had cracks, as if it would break at any moment.

"When? When did this happen?"

A look of horror flashed across Ooka Shinichi's eyes. The greenhouse was not like this this morning.

"Could it be..."

Shinichi Ooka thought of the tentacles of Jiulan that he had burned in the laboratory. Could it be that Jiulan could feel the situation of the separated tentacles?

Thinking of this, Shinichi Ooka became scared.

He held a glass full of alcohol in one hand and a lighter in the other.

Aim and throw!
With a snap, the cup shattered around Jiulan, and the lighter fell onto the alcohol on the ground.

In the blink of an eye, flames suddenly jumped up, along the tentacles of the orchid and the dead branches and leaves of other plants, and soon ignited the entire greenhouse.

A devilish whisper sounded in Shinichi Ooka's ears, as if asking him for help.

Ooka Shinichi was in a trance for a moment, his eyes flickered: "Jiulan..."

Suddenly, he opened his mouth and bit his finger hard. The intense pain brought him back from hypnosis.

tick tock...

The blood from the fingertips fell to the ground.

It immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding tentacles, and they began to move slowly towards Shinichi Ooka under the flames.

Ooka Shinichi's cloudy eyes lit up, and the regretful feeling he had in his heart disappeared instantly.

"Jiulan, this is simply a blood-sucking monster. You absolutely cannot survive on Earth, absolutely not!"

boom!
Shinichi Ooka closed the door, quickly returned to the research institute, turned on the computer, and filled in Jiulan's observation record document.

"Jiulan will absorb the life of other plants in a very short time and use them as nutrients..."

The speed of typing on the keyboard was getting slower and slower, and Shinichi Ooka felt a little overwhelmed. He scratched his itchy neck, and the feeling transmitted on his fingers suddenly startled him.

Then, in the reflection of the computer screen, he saw a venomous snake-like tentacle growing out of his neck.

"Damn it!"

Shinichi Ooka gritted his teeth and continued hammering with difficulty.

"Not only plants, but also humans, and even all living things..."

With a dizzy brain and itching in his neck, Shinichi Ooka felt light and seemed to be dead.

But the pain in his fingers still irritated him.

It was not until the last character was struck that Shinichi Ooka finally woke up from his drowsiness.

He licked the blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, saved the document, then packed up his clothes and found four bottles of alcohol lamps.

At this time, the greenhouse had collapsed and thick smoke was rising into the sky. Shinichi Ooka could still hear the sound of approaching sirens in the distance.

Looking at the flames in the greenhouse, his body has now been used as nutrients by Jiulan. Even if he is rescued by the hospital, Jiulan may still be hiding in his body, waiting to bloom.

No one in this world knows Jiu Lan better than him.

This devil flower needs to be burned with life!

"Fortunately, fortunately I brought it back."

Shinichi Ooka was slightly dazed. He could hardly imagine how fast and how terrifying the growth of Jiulan would be in the wild.

He murmured, "Perhaps your genes can benefit mankind, but you yourself are the most terrible danger to all creatures on Earth..."

"You are a super beast, right? A plant super beast..."

"Anyway, since I have discovered you, let me eradicate you completely!"

Shinichi Ooka walked into the greenhouse, and in the flames, he burst into laughter. He opened his palms and two alcohol lamps fell to the ground. He turned on the remaining alcohol lamp and poured the alcohol directly on himself.

"It's a pity that I didn't become a real plant expert..."

....................................

The autumn rain is continuous, and countless dead branches and fallen leaves fall to the ground.

There are unusually many fallen leaves this year, and the cleaners on the road are cleaning almost all the time, because when the wind blows and when it rains, countless yellow leaves fall.

That would have been fine, but many cleaners also found a lot of green leaves during the cleaning process. The experienced cleaners thought this was a bit unusual and reported the matter.

In addition, large areas of plants died or withered in many places in Tokyo. At first, this did not attract any attention. After all, it was autumn, and it was normal to have more dead flowers and plants.

But when some evergreen trees began to turn yellow leaves, they felt something was wrong. This situation was not uncommon, and it appeared almost in large patches.

It is no exaggeration to say that this is like a plague involving plants.

Of course, it was impossible to report such a thing directly to the Tucker team. Most botanists suspected that this was a new type of plant-transmitting virus, so they began to study it.

Without certainty, these people would not treat this as a monster event.

"Autumn is here..."

Jun Takano leaned against the window, feeling the coolness of the autumn rain.

Without any work, he seemed very relaxed, like a lazy man.

He noticed the large amount of fallen leaves, but did not pay too much attention to it, because in his superficial understanding, autumn means the withering of plants, and it is normal for green plants to turn yellow at this time.

As he was thinking, Jun Takano stretched out his hand and pushed the cactus on the windowsill into the autumn rain.
