Your Handling Method Is Very Violent

"Other abilities?"

Lu Xin couldn't quite grasp Chen Jing's meaning.

He pondered for a moment before seriously asking, "What is a mental level?"

Chen Jing heard him and suddenly smiled. She then pushed a document from the bottom of the pile towards Lu Xin, saying, "It seems you didn't study the document I gave you very thoroughly. The so-called mental level is the unit of measurement we use to assess the threat level of a source of pollution and the ability level of a mental anomaly. It's specifically for the strength of mental power."

Lu Xin took the document. It was filled with complex, tongue-twisting terms and units.

His previous document seemed to have similar content, but it was in English, with complicated formulas and measurement methods.

He hadn't understood anything except the part about his benefits.

Fortunately, Chen Jing continued her explanation. "You can understand it this way: a healthy adult male in the prime of his mental activity has about ten units of mental power. A common Level 1 Mental Monster or source of pollution has a mental level of about one hundred units. This often determines their pollution level."

"Of course, there's one point that must be noted: mental monsters are not the same as sources of pollution."

"Although we often conflate the two nowadays, in reality, only sources of pollution that possess active aggression, even a certain degree of consciousness and corresponding changes, are what we usually refer to as mental monsters. There are also some sources of pollution that are inherently without consciousness; they merely distort the mental power of those they pollute, causing certain effects."

"Today's work clearly shows the difference between the two."

Chen Jing's expression turned more serious as she spoke. "Based on the initial situation and intelligence, we initially judged this to be a common pollution incident. It was only at the end that we discovered the source of pollution had become a mental monster."

"Oh..."

Lu Xin feigned complete understanding, nodding thoughtfully.

He paused, then asked again, "Then why did you ask if I was hiding other abilities?"

"Because you handled this pollution incident alone."

Chen Jing looked at him, a faint smile on her face. "From previous tests on you, your ability belongs to the Spider-type, rated C-class. Your mental level is around one hundred units, with a fluctuation of no more than fifty units. Generally speaking, mental anomalies of the same level usually have a lower mental level than sources of pollution of the same level."

"After all, sources of pollution become what they are because their mental power has broken through limits and lost control. Mental anomalies, on the other hand, are individuals whose mental power has mutated and been greatly enhanced, but they remain within their control."

"Therefore, we rarely make decisions to have mental anomalies face sources of pollution alone."

"Normally, one should resolve the issue by finding the logic chain and core key of the source of pollution..."

"..."

Lu Xin interjected at the opportune moment, "Then... what is a logic chain and..."

"A logic chain is the surface pattern and mode of a source of pollution. It often represents the infection method and level of the source of pollution. Take Special Pollution Source No. 041, for example. The initially summarized logic chain was revenge, and it had a certain predictable time pattern. We can analyze the source of pollution's reactions through this logic chain and formulate cleanup or avoidance plans."

The core key represents the body of the source of pollution, which is also the switch for the source of pollution. Turn it off, and it's over.

"..."

Chen Jing explained clearly and concisely, then looked at Lu Xin with an expression that said, I know you didn't read the file carefully. "At any time, finding the logic chain and core key of a source of pollution is the optimal way to handle pollution. But you are different. You didn't look for these two points; instead, you chose to resolve the source of pollution directly. The previous Pollution No. 036 was one thing, but Pollution No. 041 as well..."

"I must say, although this method of handling is very direct, and very... violent!"

"But this situation is not common!"

Having said all that in one breath, Chen Jing paused, lit a cigarette, and smiled. "So, we still have to ask as a matter of routine. Don't be nervous. This is just a routine work report. Considering that some people upstairs might be interested in such matters and raise questions, I need to write a presentable report to explain it to them..."

"..."

"Oh, oh, I understand..."

Upon hearing about writing a report, Lu Xin nodded. He had experience in this area.

"It might indeed be a bit unusual..."

Thinking about what Chen Jing had just said, Lu Xin slowly mused, "The key is, it wasn't me who resolved it..."

Chen Jing frowned.

Lu Xin honestly replied, "It was Sister!"

Chen Jing's face showed a thoughtful expression, as if she was considering how to respond.

As if afraid she wouldn't believe him, Lu Xin pointed to the trash can outside the door. "The candy wrapper you just threw away was eaten by Sister!"

Chen Jing couldn't help but frown and casually asked, "Then where is she now?"

Lu Xin looked at Chen Jing's head and said, "She's right above your head, smiling at you..."

"You..."

Although it wasn't the first time she'd heard it, Chen Jing felt the hairs on her arms stand on end.

She forced herself to remain still, her neck stiff, not daring to look up.

But after enduring for a long time, she couldn't help it. She subtly glanced upwards and saw that the space above her head was empty.

This made her feel somewhat unbearable.

Lu Xin added in a low voice, "You can't see her..."

Chen Jing glared fiercely at Lu Xin. After a long moment, she let out a soft sigh.

She leaned back slightly, making it convenient for her to look up at any time, and then said, "Never mind, let's not discuss this for now. What I'm more curious about now is, I had already ordered you to retreat earlier, why did you insist on rushing towards that source of pollution?"

Lu Xin became a bit more serious about this question. "Because those three members hadn't been polluted yet!"

Chen Jing naturally knew that those three members of the investigation team had not been polluted. Headquarters' psychological experts had assessed them, finding that apart from some fear, they showed no signs of pollution. At that time, many people had witnessed them being controlled by the distorted mental power field of the pollution, even flying into the air and opening fire on Lu Xin.

As it seemed to be, this situation would not be considered normal under any circumstances.

In other words, without Lu Xin, the three members of the investigation team were doomed to be eliminated no matter what.

And this was precisely what she didn't understand.

So, she slowly asked, "How did you determine that the three of them were not contaminated?"

"How did I determine it?"

Lu Xin was a bit surprised by the question, and after a while, he said, "I saw it directly..."
