The mutation of the Ginkgo Tree not only made the trees sturdier and increased the number of fruits, but it also amplified the toxicity of the fruits by dozens of times. Just a light touch could lead to poisoning and death. Ginkgo Nuts were already toxic, and the characteristics of their mutation reflected this increased toxicity.
Could it be that each plant mutation has its own unique traits? This concept first emerged in Tan Ming's mind.
Once the Ginkgo Tree stopped swaying, and after the danger had passed, Tan Ming placed his backpack on top of his head just in case. He glanced at Yan Qing, who wasn’t carrying a bag. He suggested that Yan Qing take off his jacket and use it as a shield.
Yan Qing’s claws twitched slightly from within his sleeves. Forget it, this would have to do.
Tan Ming furrowed his brow slightly, stepping past him to say, "You and I will be behind."
Alright.
They continued for six more minutes until they reached a supermarket. Outside the supermarket, there was a scattering of medicinal powder on the ground, emitting a particularly unpleasant odor. It was unclear who had spread it out of goodwill. However, the powder seemed effective; the area around the supermarket was unusually quiet, with no mutated plants or animals attacking people.
In front of them, a few individuals were entering the supermarket in small groups. They followed suit.
The supermarket door was closed but could be pushed open easily. Inside, there were quite a few people hiding behind shelves, with sporadic glimmers of light from their phones visible in the dimness.
Tan Ming and Yan Qing slowed their movements to avoid startling anyone. The two moved in sync towards the food section.
This supermarket was the largest one near their school, and both Yan Qing and Tan Ming were familiar with its layout. They quickly found the Fast Food Area.
Grabbing a chicken leg, Yan Qing eagerly tore open the packaging and devoured it in just a few bites.
Tan Ming stepped forward a few paces to grab some sausages from another shelf. The chicken leg was about the size of an adult's palm; after finishing it, Yan Qing looked as if he hadn’t eaten at all. However, his hunger pangs had slightly subsided. He grabbed another chicken leg and continued munching away.
He ate for a full hour, leaving a pile of empty wrappers on the ground. Gradually, his hunger began to be satisfied.
After finishing his meal, Yan Qing felt a warmth in a certain part of his body and instinctively touched the Red Card he had picked up.
A few words flashed in his mind: Wolfman Envoy Identity Confirmation.
Then, a lengthy introduction appeared before him.
This system has a total of ten envoys, and you are the Werewolf Messenger, ranked Meizai.
Messenger Tool: Wolf Shield, which has a defensive effect that can absorb damage and punishment, with three uses available.
Weakness of the werewolf: You must eat once every Hours; if you exceed this time, partial wolf transformation will occur. If you exceed Ten Hours, full-body transformation will happen.
Warning: Envoys can expose their Wolf Messenger Identity but cannot reveal their werewolf identity unless all uses of the Messenger Tool have been exhausted; otherwise, it will be considered a violation and will result in punishment. Additionally, envoys can share their locations and send rescue signals.
Envoy Mission: Judge the killer.
Clear: Killer Death; if the system disappears and Ten Days pass without the Murderer being Dead, there will be a Bloodbath on Campus.
Voting Method: Initiated by Three Messengers; write the number of the envoy you are voting for on the back of the Messenger Red Card to generate the vote.
Killer Clue: Hunger, Building Dormitory, Male.
(Note: Envoy Mission, Clear, Voting Method, Killer Clue— all envoys share this information.)
Hint: The killer is among the envoys (shared).
Hint: Meizhang Chef, Tool, Satiation Pill; after taking it, you will not feel Hunger for Ten Hours.
Yan Qing finished reading and thought, Werewolf? He looked at his left hand; after eating, it had returned to its human form.
Wait a minute—Building Dormitory! He matched all three Killer Clues! The killer is hidden among the envoys. Could he be the killer?
Is his luck this good right from the start?!
