Ooka Shinichi is a highly qualified 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, Ooka Shinichi immediately searched for a large amount of information and looked through various books, trying to find any information about Kulan.

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

By the time humans actually appeared, the Julans on the earth had been basically extinct, so there are no records of the Julans in human history.

"call……"

Ooka Shinichi, who was feeling a little dizzy after consulting a large amount of information, stopped. He glanced at the time, put down the information, and went to the greenhouse where he kept himself to take care of Chulan.

As a botanist, he has many flowers and plants in his flower room, both common and rare.

This is a paradise for flowers and plants.

When Ooka Shinichi opened the door, he saw a saucer-sized orchid in bloom. In addition, the flower stalks of the orchid also had many long tentacles. At first glance, they looked like

It's like a green beard.

Ooka Shin has done preliminary research on the tentacles. He found that these tentacles are like the roots of other plants and can absorb nutrients from the soil. However, he does not know why these tentacles grow on the flower stalks instead of directly on them.

Take root in a flowerpot.

But today he discovered something.

While watering, he noticed a tentacle going straight through the stem of a nearby flower, like a man stabbing another man to death with a sharp sword.

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

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

The rescue plan requires precise design, but before that, he needs to make the flower live longer.

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

Three days later, Ooka Shinichi was delighted to discover that the Orchid has extremely strong vitality. If this gene is combined with other plants that are not easy to survive, it is possible that there will never be plant extinction in the future.

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

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

These plants become nourishment!

"No, this is not what I want."

"This plant should not exist in this world."

"Plants on Earth simply cannot coexist with it!"

Ooka Shinichi was so shocked that he dug out all the tentacles, lit them with alcohol, and burned them to ashes.

Watching the flames extinguish, Ooka Shinichi suddenly remembered Kulan in the greenhouse, and he hurried back.

Crunch~

The door of the flower house was opened, and what greeted Shin Ooka's eyes was not the luxuriant flowers of the past, but the orchid tentacles that covered the flower house.

A one-meter-tall orchid stands in the middle of the flower room, and the flowerpot beneath it has cracks, as if it will break into pieces in the next moment.

"When? When did this happen?"

A look of horror flashed across Ooka Shin's eyes. This morning, the greenhouse was not like this.

"Could it be..."

Ooka Shinichi thought of the Gullan tentacles he burned in the laboratory. Can Gullan feel the condition of the separated tentacles?

Thinking of this, Ooka Shinichi was scared.

He held a glass filled with alcohol in one hand and a lighter in the other.

Aim and throw!

With a snap, the cup shattered around Zhulan, and the lighter fell on the alcohol on the ground.

In the blink of an eye, the flames suddenly burst out, following 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 Ooka Shinichi's ears, seemingly asking him for help.

Ooka Shinichi was in a daze for a moment, and the look in his eyes flashed: "Zulan..."

Suddenly, he opened his mouth and bit his finger fiercely. The intense pain stimulated him to wake up from his hypnosis.

Tick ​​tock tick…

The blood from his fingertips fell to the ground.

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

Ooka Shinichi's cloudy eyes lit up, and his feeling of regret disappeared instantly.

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

boom!

Ooka Shinichi closed the door, quickly returned to the research institute, turned on the computer, and filled in the observation record document of Gulan.

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

The typing speed on the keyboard became slower and slower, and Ooka Shinichi felt a little powerless. He scratched his itchy neck, and the feeling on his fingers suddenly surprised him.

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

"Damn it!"

Ooka Shinichi gritted his teeth and continued tapping with difficulty.

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

Along with the drowsiness of his brain and the itching on his neck, Ooka Shinichi felt light and airy, as if he was dead.

But the pain in his fingers was still irritating him.

Until the last character was struck, Ooka Shinichi finally stopped being groggy.

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, billowing smoke rose into the sky, and Ooka Shinichi could still hear the approaching sirens in the distance.

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

There is no one in the world who knows Chulan better than him.

This devil's flower needs to be burned with life!

"Fortunately, fortunately I brought it back."

Ooka Shinichi was slightly absent-minded. He could not imagine how fast the Kulan would grow in the wild and how terrifying it would be.

He murmured: "Perhaps your genes can benefit mankind, but you yourself are the most terrifying danger to life on earth..."

"Are you a super beast? A plant super beast..."

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

Ooka Shinichi walked into the flower room. In the flames, he let out bursts of laughter. He opened his palms and two alcohol lamps fell on the ground. He opened the remaining alcohol lamp and poured it directly into himself.

on the body.

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

…………………………

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

There are so many fallen leaves this year, and the cleaners on the road are cleaning almost all the time, because when the wind blows or the rain hits, countless yellow leaves fall down.

That's all. Many cleaners also found a lot of green leaves during the cleaning process. The experienced cleaners felt that there was something unusual and reported the matter.

In addition, large areas of plants have died or withered in many places in Tokyo. This did not attract any attention at first. After all, it is autumn, and it is normal for there to be more dead flowers and plants.

But when some evergreen trees began to sprout yellow leaves, they felt something was wrong. This situation was not rare, it almost happened in patches.

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

Of course, it was impossible to report this kind of thing directly to Team Tucker. Most botanists suspected that this was a new type of plant-infectious virus, and they started research on it.

Without certainty, these people would not regard this incident as a monster incident.

"Autumn is here..."

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

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

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

After thinking about it, Jun Takano stretched out his hand and pushed the cactus on the windowsill into the autumn rain.
