I Have A Divine Tree In My Heart Chapter 70 - He Is Also a Freak

Chapter 70: He Is Also a Freak

“By the way, what is this mysterious land? The situation here does not make it seem like a normal world.”

Upon hearing Lin Yao’s question, the policewoman didn’t answer. Instead, she said quickly, “Hey, student, these are not things you can understand now. When you graduate from university, if you join a special department, you will learn about it all.”

After speaking, the policewoman pulled out some supplies for Lin Yao and the girls before she prepared to leave. Upon contemplating it for a while, Lin Yao comforted the two children and put them in a safe place before walking toward the fighters.

“You guys must be here to eliminate the freaks. I think I can help you.”

“All you need to do is be safe and obedient.”

After discovering that Lin Yao was just a high school student, the fighters didn’t pin any of their hopes on him.

However, Lin Yao didn’t give up. He was very persistent because he felt emotional over the sacrifice of these fighters and wanted to do something within his means to help.

The other reason was Lin Yao’s guess.

‘The system I obtained is the social security system after the mutation of the Ant Forest. Although its only function after the mutation is planting trees, the sources of energy have already expanded. Volunteering at the orphanage and helping with the growth of the children there is beneficial to humanity as a whole. Therefore, it allows me to gain some energy. Since that’s the case, I’ll also gain energy if I protect the people and reduce the fighters’ casualties, right?’

Although he hadn’t done this before, Lin Yao guessed that this should be the case.

‘This is certainly possible, as it is also a way to contribute to mankind.’

With this thought in mind, Lin Yao naturally wanted to help these fighters in order to acc.u.mulate more energy.

However, they didn’t expect much from Lin Yao because he was too young.

Lin Yao was not cross about this, but he started talking to himself.

“I didn’t arrive at the door of the haunted house as soon as I came in. I wandered in the amus.e.m.e.nt park for more than half an hour before that.”

“Are you joking? Even I wouldn’t be able to survive for two hours if I had two children with me. But you?”

Captain Li replied to Lin Yao’s words furiously, but Lin Yao was not bothered. He added, “I know it’s hard for you guys to believe it, but I’m not ordinary. Let me introduce myself. I’ve registered in the Abnormal Ability Department before as a talented person. I’ve actually encountered a lot of dangers after coming in, but because I only had six dollars, most of the dangers didn’t come looking for me. Furthermore, I have the ability to detect malice. I was thus able to avoid a bunch of dangers and arrive at the haunted house.”

After saying these words, Lin Yao glanced at Captain Li. This person had been very sarcastic, but Lin Yao was not cross because he could perceive the kindness in him.

Silence ensued following what Lin Yao said, but the policewoman spoke soon.

“Since you’re talented, that’s one more reason we can’t take you along. You have great potential and should go out to fight when you grow up.”

“Uh…”

Lin Yao was dumbfounded by these words. He hadn’t expected his great talent to become an obstacle.

Just as Lin Yao thought that his persuasion method had failed, a sudden clamor was heard from outside again. At the same time, strong maliciousness surged into the house.

Upon looking up, Lin Yao discovered that another group of armed policemen and soldiers, as well as a man in black, had rushed over. This time, a few people in dojo uniforms were helping them along.

Behind them were many freaks that were bound up.

Just like what had happened earlier, the freaks that were pushed in through the door were targeted by the owner of the haunted house, who was carrying a sledgehammer. Hammering one freak at a time, he soon hammered all the struggling freaks to death.

Afterward, the injured swarmed in and sat on the ground, taking out medical kits to treat their own wounds. The dead heroes were covered with white cloth.

The policewoman also helped out while all this happened. Then, she immediately approached Lin Yao and the two little girls. Her maternal instincts had kicked in, and she didn’t want the trio to be affected by the situation.

She discovered the two little girls cowering in the corner, but not much fear was on their faces. The policewoman heaved a sigh of relief and turned to Lin Yao.

She glanced at him casually, as she didn’t think that this scene would frighten Lin Yao. He was a high school student who had taken the initiative to help, and she believed in his bravery and courage.

However, she was taken aback by something after turning her head. The high school student, who had been calm all this while, was sweating continuously and trembling all over as if he had seen something terrifying.

“What’s wrong?”

While the policewoman was surprised, Lin Yao had already raised his finger with a distorted expression.

“Why didn’t the owner of the haunted house kill that thing? He’s also a freak!”

He was panicked, so Lin Yao’s voice sounded a little broken, and the word ‘freak’ made all the fighters who were still mobile immediately get up and become alert.

Clang, clang, clang.

Amid the sounds of knives and swords being unsheathed, someone shouted, “Freak? Where is it?”

The situation was a little chaotic, but Captain Li’s sharp voice was heard very soon.

“What are you guys shouting about? Do you think you’re at the market? You’ve forgotten all the rules and your discipline. Be quiet. Everyone be quiet!”

Following his furious scolding, the armed personnel calmed down. As they did, they also discovered that Lin Yao was the one talking and pointing at a human being.

He was one of the injured. One of his eyes had suffered unknown harm and been dug out, and one of his arms looked even more distorted.

His appearance made him look like one of the heroes, but Lin Yao could sense intense malice coming from him.

After sensing the malice, he even saw through the facade. He discovered that his broken eyeball contained a black gear that was turning slowly.

When Lin Yao pointed at him, that man also turned to look at Lin Yao, making Lin Yao take a step back instantly. Malice rushed over to him like a tide, blurring his vision.

“I’m a freak? You must have made a mistake. How can a freak enter the haunted house?”

As he faced Lin Yao’s accusation, the wounded man had a puzzled expression on his face, as if he had been wronged. Instinctively, his teammates also defended him.

“Exactly. Ah Hao was fine just now. How could he be a freak?”

“If a freak enters the haunted house, it will be courting…”

The words spoken by the teammates made Lin Yao a little anxious, but Captain Li’s yell was heard before Lin Yao could speak.

“Shut up, you group of scoundrels! Have you forgotten the rules of this mysterious land? Everything is possible, and all situations are suspicious.”

After berating the group, Captain Li looked directly at the man in black from the special department.

“Ah Hao, I need you to endure a bit of a grievance and take a special test. If you’re not a freak, I will apologize to you.”

“Captain, you are suspecting me just because of what a student said…”

The young man called Ah Hao was defending himself, but as soon as these words were spoken, Captain Li moved. The surrounding people did the same. All of them rushed up to him in shock.

“Kill!”

Boom, boom, boom!

In an instant, a confrontation between the advanced martial artists and the warlords took place in front of him. The terrifying clash made waves of air surge and bursts of energy flow everywhere.

Fortunately, the moment Ah Hao retorted, some people rushed forward and some dashed in front of Lin Yao and the two little girls, blocking them from the aftermath of the clash. This also eliminated any thought Ah Hao had of attacking Lin Yao.

The battle started and ended very suddenly. Dozens of people had swarmed over to Ah Hao, and he was instantly defeated despite unleashing a powerful attack.

The scene surprised Lin Yao.

“Are you guys that certain that I’m right? Aren’t you afraid of making a mistake?”
