"What on earth is going on?"
Lu Xin looked at the scalp-numbing scene below, and his voice couldn't help but sink slightly.
He had seen many people crying, and images of people crying often appeared in his mind and dreams, but this was the first time he saw so many people crying, and they were silent, dull, like crying in a silent movie...
There may not be as many as tens of thousands of people, but they are still densely packed and scary.
This kind of picture simply gives people an unreal sense of panic.
"I don't know either..."
Gecko's voice sounded anxious and weak, and he spread his hands. "I came here to support, thinking that I was going to deal with some difficult Pollution Source, but who knew, after I came here, I saw such a scene, they were standing there, motionless... I was almost crying with them when they saw me... I had already tested it just now, and Pollution Source was not found around..."
"..."
After hearing Gecko's words, several soldiers on the surrounding high walls subconsciously turned their heads and glanced at them.
It can be seen that their faces are full of surprise and panic.
Their number was too small compared to the people under the city.
And most importantly, although they were all equipped with powerful weapons, no one below them looked scared when facing their muzzles. They just looked at themselves silently and cried quietly. This made their hearts filled with an indescribable sense of absurdity. It was a strange feeling, facing the group of people below, and the gun in my hand could not protect me.
It stands to reason that when so many people are attacking the high wall, a large number of the City Patrol Army should have rushed over to support them.
But now, chaos is everywhere in Satellite City No. 2, and a large number of people are restrained, so they can only rely on a few of them to guard here.
The arrival of Gecko and Lu Xin obviously gave them some hope.
But seeing Gecko helpless made them feel even more pressure.
If there are more and more people below, crying silently, and they start to act strangely, they don't know how to deal with it.
"It is recommended not to act rashly yet."
"We need to first investigate why these people gathered here, whether they were contaminated or affected."
Han Bing's voice came from the channel.
In the previous training, Lu Xin has learned that pollution and impact are actually the same concept.
The impact is mild pollution.
However, when faced with some relatively complicated situations, Information Analysis Team will be separately referred to as being affected by Pollution Source or Mental Monster, and they will be collectively called contaminated people. If their will is distorted by a person with abilities, they will be called influenced.
But in fact, the pollution caused by Pollution Source to the people around him is essentially the same as the distortion caused by ability users.
Even without Han Bing's reminder, Lu Xin would not do anything rashly. He asked in a low voice, "How many have been found now?"
"Now we only have a preliminary report submitted by the investigation team stationed at Satellite City No. 2 B3."
Han Bing said softly on the channel, "The people who gathered at the South Wall have the characteristics of rushing to the high wall under the influence of some unknown will, confronting the high wall guards, and crying silently. Today, the number is still increasing, and there is no fixed route."
"No signs of attack have been found so far, but we cannot rule out the possibility of attacks at any time."
"At present, no obvious fluctuations in mental power have been detected in the gathered people, but the abnormalities are extremely obvious."
"After it is confirmed that communication is impossible, it is impossible to persuade or threaten."
"It has not yet reached the level of using weapons to prevent or disperse..."
"..."
Lu Xin nodded.
The B3 investigation team that Han Bing talked about is the Satellite City No. 2 team that specializes in investigating the Mental Pollution incident.
There are not many capable people, and there are not many capable people who are stable and willing to be recruited.
But there are several groups of similar investigation teams in each Satellite City.
Lu Xin has cooperated with Lu Xin before, and Cheng Hui and his three team members who are currently protecting Crimson Moon Elementary School are one of them.
They are all drawn from the military or Guard Department, and are specially used to investigate and analyze special Pollution Source.
In the past, even the solution to Pollution Source was done by them.
However, incompetent people, no matter how experienced they are and how advanced their protective equipment is, are still very dangerous when faced with pollution, and their mortality rate is extremely high.
Therefore, as more and more ability users are recruited in the headquarters, these investigation teams often only do some auxiliary investigation work, responsible for providing intelligence and so on.
"Where are the core keys and logical chains?"
Lu Xin asked in a low voice.
Facing so many people under the wall, he subconsciously lowered his voice for fear of alarming them.
Han Bing's voice was silent for a while, as if communicating with the people around him, and then replied, "Nothing has been found yet."
Lu Xin fell silent.
The origin of all abnormal phenomena has an inner core key and logic.
Only by finding this core key can we easily solve it.
Only by discovering the other party's logic can we predict its possible changes.
But now, if nothing is discovered, it is equivalent to facing a huge and unknown terror.
Unknown means not knowing how it will explode.
Terror refers to not knowing the possible consequences.
"This is such a big trouble..."
When Lu Xin was listening to Han Bing speak, Gecko also tilted his head slightly, as if he was listening to the information analysis given to him by Tie Cui on the channel, and then his face became a little weird. "You don't know anything, and you are just here to stand here? Can you use a lot of anesthetic bombs to stun them?"
I don't know what Tie Cui answered, but he added, "I don't need to stun myself, I have already been stun by you..."
Then he said, "I recognize that you have a child..."
Then he said harshly, "You are a 300-pound fat girl with a 20-year-old child by your side. I admit it..."
"..."
After listening to the report, Lu Xin also frowned and looked down.
Wherever his eyes could see, there were only faces, densely packed together, illuminated brightly by the searchlights on the high walls.
Every face was stained with sparkling tears.
Lu Xin found that these people didn't seem to even blink. They just stood like wooden logs under the high wall, crying quietly.
I can see the existence of Mental Monster, but now I can't see anything.
Finding nothing means nothing can be done.
Don't dare to shoot or force them back, because any reaction may cause unknown changes in them.
He had made it very clear in the special Pollution Source training course he conducted before.
When encountering such an obviously problematic situation, no unnecessary intervention can be made until its internal logic is clear.
Because without understanding its specific characteristics, facing this group, no matter how normal it seems, a word, an action, or a behavior may immediately cause strong changes.
And this is also the reason why Gecko and others are at a loss.
