The old woman on the bed was so furious that her teeth were already grinding loudly again.
Lu Xin, however, acted as if he hadn't noticed. Putting on a professional lecturing demeanor, he said, "Ma'am, there really is something wrong with your child."
"His mental strength has already been severely damaged. It's also become twisted and deformed. That's a sign of Mental Pollution."
"Please trust my professional judgment. In Qinggang City, one of my jobs is specifically dealing with things like this. In my opinion, the influence he's under is already extremely serious. This village's conditions make it impossible to treat him properly. Unless he goes to Qinggang..."
"..."
"Mental Pollution?"
The old woman's voice trembled. She repeated the words in confusion, yet with concern.
"Yes."
Lu Xin nodded and said, "It's a newly emerged symptom of pollution, mental pollution... Do you understand?"
He wanted to explain, but he wasn't very confident.
When Chen Jing had explained it to him back then, it had taken him some time to understand it too...
"Are you telling the truth?"
The old woman's voice trembled slightly. "You... tell me more..."
As she spoke, she paused before saying, "Before the Crimson Moon appeared, I... I was a university student..."
"A university student?"
Lu Xin was stunned by this.
In his mind, anyone who could attend university was a talented young man like Vice President Xiao...
He had only made it through high school himself.
Someone like Gecko seemed not even to have attended high school...
He felt a vague sense of respect and seriously looked at the strange child.
In his field of vision, it was obvious that the strange child had already undergone a certain degree of mutation. It wasn't the kind of physical mutation that anyone could see, but a mental one.
