“…Please don’t worry. I have already received enough compensation.”
“——May your wishes come true.”
Pink, white, purple, blue, red, the flowers bloomed wildly, forming a sea of flowers, decorating the entire flower shop.
The young man on the rattan chair smiled like a spring breeze, sending off another customer.
He had an ordinary young face, eyes that were more transparent and inclusive than the most knowledgeable elder, and when he smiled, it was purer and more beautiful than the most innocent child, making people unconsciously feel close to him.
With this spring-like smile, he looked outside.
The back of the customer, the moment they stepped over the threshold of the flower shop, was like crossing an invisible ripple, coming out of the water. The entire flower shop was like an illusion in the water, a palace under the sea, with a water-like membrane separating it from the surrounding world.
Through the transparent glass wall of the flower shop, he saw a twisted and chaotic world.
Low and dilapidated buildings, walls and roofs still carrying the style of a castle from decades ago; bars and convenience stores with signs covered in thick dust, employees at the door listlessly soliciting business; streets where sewage flowed and garbage was dumped at will; gang members fighting fiercely on the street; passers-by who were innocently killed and lay in a pool of blood because they couldn’t dodge in time; and children with backpacks who ran past the fighting crowd, sticking to the wall of the street with an expression of indifference…
The roar of firearms, the friction sound of wheels and the road during emergency braking, screams, curses, angry roars, and the usual laughter in the distance…The flower shop stood silently at the end of this street, all of this was presented before his eyes without reservation.
“No wonder it’s the most chaotic royal district in Xing Country!”
Xing Country, officially known as the Chenxing Empire. As one of the few major countries on the Blue Star with comparable national strength to Yao Country, the social environment of Xing Country was far less stable than that of Yao Country. More precisely, the environment of Xing Country was the most dangerous and chaotic among the major countries.
In the final analysis, it was related to the political system of the Chenxing Empire.
Although the Chenxing Empire was the first country to end the feudal system and implement a constitutional monarchy, the last monarch under the feudal system did not voluntarily choose to give up his rights, he was overthrown by the wave of times.
With the advent of the industrial age, the liberation of people’s thoughts, the pursuit of human rights, freedom, and equality, more and more people found it difficult to accept that there was a king who had the power of life and death above their heads, and even more difficult to accept the situation where one person was served by a country and one person commanded a country.
The initial outcry was not loud, but like a wildfire, it gradually turned into a torrential trend, sweeping up from the bottom of the Morning Star Empire, even the supreme throne of the king was placed on the burning firewood and scorching fire rack.
In the end, the last monarch of the feudal era reluctantly handed over most of the power in his hands, thus he was able to retreat from the surging public opinion, preserving the dignity of the king.
However, compared with the later Yao Country, the constitutional reform of the Chenxing Empire was not completely thorough.
The emperor was not powerless, merely a seal of honor, but still held a part of the military power, which was also the confidence of the royal family.
The power of the Chenxing Empire was completely divided into three.
The emperor himself, the excellent people from the noble class of the empire formed the cabinet, and the members of the parliament elected by the people from the common people, the three stood separately.
During the war that swept the world fifty years ago, it was the most united time for all classes of the Chenxing Empire, and since then, the struggle has been constant for the past fifty years.
The three high-level factions were not satisfied with the power they held, trying to get more power from the other two factions, and the lower-class people were also dissatisfied with the status quo, thinking that the current empire did not achieve what they sought when they overthrew the imperial system.
In addition, the Chenxing Empire did not ban firearms, the bureaucratic system belonging to the three factions was intriguing, the area near the imperial capital was fine, but the remote places were very chaotic.
At this moment, the King District where the flower shop was located, was the area with the most gangs, the highest crime rate, and the most chaotic management in the Chenxing Empire. If it was divided by the concentration of “misfortune”, it could rank at the forefront of the entire Blue Star.
Bai Yi randomly placed the flower shop every day based on the concentration of “misfortune”, and had already made a round in various countries, and it was not surprising that it was finally the turn of the Chenxing Empire today.
In the sea of flowers, all the flowers seemed to have received sufficient fertilization, and they stretched their posture wantonly. Sniffing the increasingly strong fragrance of the flowers in the shop, his gaze fell on the chaotic street not far away, and the young shopkeeper was thoughtful.
“Cultivating too much soil of misfortune is indeed beneficial to the development of the flower shop, but what is most needed here is not my kind of superficial solution, but a more intense solution!” He gently stroked the petals, murmured, suddenly thought of something, the smile on his lips seemed to gently open in the spring breeze.
“——I think, someone will definitely like it here.”
As his voice fell, at the door of the shop, a figure slowly emerged in mid-air. As if it was sketched out by invisible ink on a blank piece of paper.
Black clothes and black umbrella, the light golden hair was shining in the sun, his deep green eyes like jade looked in the direction of the young shopkeeper, the corners of his mouth raised a perfect arc.
“Good afternoon, it’s a rare and splendid day.”
“——This is the first time for me.”
The shopkeeper stretched out his hand. “Then, please enjoy it.”
The suddenly appearing man smiled slightly, his gaze casually swept around, fell back on the shopkeeper, and spoke in a polite tone. “It seems that a new journey has begun. Is this the place you recommended for me? It is indeed very, very, very in line with my aesthetics.”
The young shopkeeper stood up, also smiled and walked towards the door: “Yes, I guess you will like it here.”
He pushed open the door, letting the sunlight pour in, and with it came the turbid and agitated breath.
“Well then, I wish you a pleasant journey.”
“I will, I think I definitely will.” K sniffed lightly with a fascinated expression, “Hmm, even the air is floating with an exciting scent…I can’t wait!”
He returned a salute, opened the black umbrella and walked out of the shop.
The scorching sun was firmly blocked outside by the black umbrella, his face was shrouded in the shadow of the umbrella, only a pair of deep green pupils rippled.
The young shopkeeper smiled and watched him leave, turned around and walked back into the shop, just sat down on the rattan chair again, and heard a scream, he looked up.
On the dirty street, there were still many people who had just fought fiercely lying across, the man stepped on a wrist without mercy, and just passed through the crowd like this.
Bang bang bang…
Before long, on the street, the gunfire that had just stopped soon rang again, and everything returned to chaos.
No one saw that at the end of the street, the flower shop, just as it suddenly arrived, disappeared again.
……
On another continent, the Holy Federation.
A flower shop appeared silently on a street, and as the customer pushed the door in, the shopkeeper on the rattan chair raised his head.
“Welcome~”
……
Above the South Sea, a group of islands composed of many island countries.
An ordinary flower shop suddenly appeared silently on the beach of a small island…
“Welcome~”
……
West Sea, the largest island country, Sang Country.
Near a shopping mall in the capital, in the suddenly appearing flower shop, the shopkeeper recited that familiar line.
“Welcome~”
……
Then, it was the various provinces and cities of Yao Country.
……
[Flower Language Expert★☆]
[Legend Degree: 81↑]
Due to changing locations every day, making its presence felt in various places on the Blue Star, the legend degree of the [Flower Language Expert] was rising rapidly.
On this day, Bai Yi continued to make his presence felt as usual. This time he chose a second-tier city in the mainland of Yao Country.
Feeling the fluctuation of the scene template barrier, the young man who had been lazily sleeping on the rattan chair opened his eyes.
“Welcome, what can I do for you?”
His first reaction was to recite this line with a smile, and then, he slowly turned his gaze to the door of the shop.
This time, an elderly person appeared.
Her clothes were not worn out, but they seemed to have rolled on the ground and were covered with a lot of dust. Her full head of silver hair was also very messy, and she looked dazed.
“Where…where is this?” The old woman who seemed to have stumbled in looked around in panic, “I’m looking for my little granddaughter, how did I get here?”
She finally saw the young man standing up in the sea of flowers, and a look of desperation appeared on her bewildered face. “Young man, have you seen my little granddaughter? She’s about this tall,” the old woman gestured with her hand, “wearing a red skirt, I tied two little pigtails for her. She loves the little pigtails I tie for her the most.”
As she said this, she cried and laughed, and her expression became dazed again. “Where is my little granddaughter! It’s all my fault, it’s all my fault, it’s all grandma’s fault for losing you!”
The young man in the flower bush looked at this scene, his expression thoughtful. His light brown pupils showed a faint sadness, and the warm and soft color of his eyes seemed to melt.
“Don’t worry, your granddaughter will be back by your side soon.”
He just said this with a faint smile.
The originally frantic old woman seemed to suddenly sober up, and without hesitation, she believed his words. It was as if someone had cast some kind of magical and incredible magic on her.
The young man handed a transparent glass bottle containing flower seeds to the old woman. “This is a seed watered by longing. On the day the flower blooms, the person you miss will reappear in front of you with the blessing of the flower.”
“Really? My little granddaughter is coming back…”
The old woman clutched the bottle in her hand as if it were a treasure.
Just then, she suddenly remembered something and took out a small package the size of a palm from her pocket in a trembling manner. “Right, I remembered, if you meet a young man who runs a flower shop, you have to give this thing to him.”
……
In the capital, the newly established Supernatural Affairs Investigation Bureau, for convenience, also has an ancient name ‘Detective Department’.
As a department specifically for investigating and managing supernatural affairs, as soon as it was established, the first batch of people who had come into contact with supernatural objects were transferred here.
An Yuansheng, the oldest and most experienced, became the head of this department, and Li Fufeng, Liu Ningshuang, Chu Xingrui and others also became members of this department.
Yin Xubai, a special scientific research talent, was even more so. Together with the scientific research personnel specially transferred from various places in Yao Country by the cabinet, they formed the research group of the Supernatural Affairs Investigation Bureau.
In addition, there were those responsible for public opinion, logistics, field work… everything was well arranged.
At this moment, everyone was discussing the matter of the mysterious flower shop.
