Chapter 1233: So Many Under the Grass!

Fangzheng shook his head and said, “It’s not that kind of sadness, but a sorrow that comes from a sense of despair . It’s a pain that comes from being about to die, as well as a longing for the deceased loved ones . This feeling is becoming clearer and clearer… I can sense that they are truly in despair . ”

The more Zhu Lin listened, the more confused she became . She scratched her head and said, “This… Master, I really don’t understand . Then… how are we going to help them? Let them out? But these little fellows belong to the Hall of Dreams . We don’t have the right to take them away . Besides, it’s a world of ice and snow outside . Going out will be suicide for them . ”

Fangzheng shook his head . “I don’t know either . They are very horrified . ”

Just as he finished speaking, someone raised his cell phone and with a click, a flash of light appeared . Following that, the man chuckled and said, “I took a photo . Let me see the effects . It’s not that nice . I’ll take another few more and post on my Moments page, heh heh…”

“Please stop! No flash photography!” At this moment, the female service staff at the door shouted .

However, that person continued snapping photos as if he hadn’t heard anything .

The female service staff continued to shout, “Please cooperate with us . Don’t use your flash . ”

“It’s so dark here . You can’t see anything without the flash,” a woman complained . Following that, she took two pictures .

As soon as she took the lead, the others followed suit and switched on their cameras . Instantly, the flashes flickered…

Zhu Lin frowned . “These people are too unruly, aren’t they?”

Fangzheng’s frown deepened . Just as everyone activated their cameras to snap pictures, Fangzheng could clearly sense the fireflies’ panic intensifying . Were they afraid of the flashes?

However, there were more and more fireflies in front of them . There was no negative reaction . What was going on?

At that moment, Squirrel said, “Master, I saw many fireflies fall into the grass . ”

Fangzheng immediately observed carefully when he heard that . In the pitch-black room, he couldn’t see much . All he could see was the fluorescent light and flashes . The fluorescent lights were dim and the flashes happened in an instant . It wasn’t suitable for illumination or observation . It even affected his observation .

However, Fangzheng still saw a firefly fall from the midair . It landed on the grass and shook its wings . There was no movement as though it could not fly any longer .

Was it tired?

Fangzheng was puzzled .

At that moment, Fangzheng saw a tiny hole behind the room . There were fireflies constantly being released from the tiny hole . Only then did Fangzheng come to a realization . He mumbled, “It’s no wonder there are more and more fireflies . It’s not the original fireflies flying, but more fireflies being released . The number of fireflies that are released is more than the number of them falling . Therefore, it looks like there are more and more of them, making it remain beautiful . ”

Squirrel said, “Master, why do I feel like these fireflies are getting more and more alarmed?”

Fangzheng nodded . He circled around the crowd and came to the door . He asked the anxious and helpless service staff, “Why don’t you allow flash photography?”

The service staff said, “This is a rule . These fireflies are very fragile . Flashes easily kill them . ”

“Kill them?” Fangzheng finally understood why the fireflies were panicking . They weren’t here to perform . They were in an execution ground! It was no wonder they were afraid . Who wouldn’t be?

The attendant said, “That’s right . Every day, we release tens of thousands of fireflies . In a day, only a few hundred survive . Sigh…”

Upon hearing that, Fangzheng’s heart ached again . He said angrily, “There’s so many deaths every day . Why do you continue?”

The attendant was given a fright by Fangzheng’s words before saying, “How would I know? I’m just an employee . I do whatever the higher-ups arrange . ”

Fangzheng knew that he had lost his temper when he heard that . “Sorry, I was a little agitated . ”

Zhu Lin clicked her tongue . “My goodness, tens of thousands a day, and only a few hundred survive . This… is basically a 99% death rate! This… is like firefly hell!”

Squirrel added, “From the looks of it, this isn’t a space of dreams . It’s a mortuary for fireflies . ”

“Everyone, please stop using your flashes . The flashes kill the fireflies,” Zhu Lin shouted .

Everyone turned to look at Zhu Lin in confusion .

The man who was the first to use his flash said, “How is that possible? It’s just light, not bullets . ”

The attendant said, “Sir, it’s true . These flashes are like bullets to fireflies . ”

Another long-haired woman pursed her lips and said, “You merchants are afraid that we will take pictures and go back to show it to others . After seeing it, there will be fewer customers, right? If I must say, you guys are bad at business . With us taking photos—beautiful ones—we can post on our Moments page and attract even more people to come . ”

“That’s right . You guys are bad at business,” the others agreed .

The attendant panicked . “I’m telling the truth . Fireflies are really afraid of flashes . ”

“Afraid? Then let me try . Let’s see if a firefly is killed!” shouted the long-haired woman .

“Alright, let’s watch,” the others said .

The long-haired woman was about to use her flash when a hand suddenly reached out and grabbed her arm . “Patron, isn’t it too cruel to use a life as an experiment?”

“You…” The long-haired woman was about to flare up when she turned her head and saw a bald monk dressed in a white monk robe looking at her with a serious expression .

She was immediately stunned . This was Black Mountain City . Here, Fangzheng was definitely a household name . Many people might not even recognize the governor, but everyone basically knew Fangzheng .

The woman exclaimed, “Abbot Fangzheng!?”

The others snapped out of their daze and looked at Fangzheng .

At this point in time, Fangzheng knew that it was meaningless to hide his identity . He needed his identity to help increase his persuasion .

Fangzheng pressed his palms together when he saw everyone exclaim . “Amitabha . Patrons, what Patron Zhu Lin said just now is true . If you don’t believe me, why use the fireflies as an experiment? You all have cell phones . If you go online to check, wouldn’t there be an answer?”

“Abbot Fangzheng, there’s no need to investigate . I don’t believe others, but I believe you . ” The woman immediately changed tunes and was the first to side with Fangzheng .

“I believe you too . I’ll just stop taking photos . ” The man who took the photo first put away his phone as well .

“I really didn’t expect that a tiny flash could kill fireflies…” someone mumbled, but he put away his phone .

Then a child shouted, “Dad, I see a firefly fall down . It’s not moving . ”

When the man heard that, he squatted down and looked in the direction the child was pointing at . When he saw it, his heart trembled . He said with a trembling voice, “Everyone, look!”

Everyone crouched down and took a look . Everyone gasped!

The long-haired woman exclaimed, “There’s more beneath the grass! Tons of them!”
