The fractured plant roots lay scattered around the sickbed, and the Banyan Tree parasitizing the infected began to shed its green color, visibly shriveling and withering, finally collapsing on the gently rising and falling chest, turning into a puddle of broken ash.
The collapsed Banyan Tree was the last piece of plant on the infected.
The "Lighthouse" gradually dimmed. Without tentacle cover, the emaciated human figure on the sickbed was revealed.
"What's happening..." The Exorcist and Emin gathered around again.
"The parasitic plant is composed of humanity."
Lu Li placed the "Lighthouse" in the infected's hand, but perhaps due to losing too much humanity, or the infected's consciousness being unclear, the oil lamp did not light up again.
As for why plants would make the Lighthouse light up, Lu Li thought of one word: dedication.
