During the fight, it was Lu Xin's subconscious move to kill Qin Ran.

Until now, his experience in fighting against ability users was limited to the Puppet-type ability user. When dealing with the Puppet-type ability user, he had detailed information in his hand, and he analyzed the strengths and weaknesses of Puppet-type incisively and vividly.

But Qin Ran is different.

Because in the information given by the Special Purity Department, Qin Ran's abilities are unknown.

So when fighting him, Lu Xin's nerves were tense and there was absolutely no room for mercy.

He was only worried that Qin Ran would be too difficult to deal with, but he did not expect that Qin Ran would be particularly easy to deal with.

Because it was particularly easy to deal with, Lu Xin killed him as soon as they fought, and then suddenly thought of another thing.

No. 041 special pollution source event.

Until now, Qinggang City Research Institute has not been able to give a real answer to that incident, but from the surface of the incident, Cui Wang killed Qin Ran, and then he became Qin Ran. After that, countless people appeared seeking revenge from him...

The final result of the investigation was that a Pollution Source was found at the bottom of the lake.

And that Pollution Source had already contaminated eight people at that time...

Everything started with killing Qin Ran.

Therefore, Lu Xin, who realized this problem, immediately put Qin Ran's heart back.

Unfortunately, it is no longer useful.

The blood vessels next to the heart have been severed, and there is a hole the size of a fist in the ribs, and blood is pouring out of it.

Qin Ran's face is quickly turning pale, and his vitality is disappearing.

Only the smile before his death still hung on Qin Ran's face, and became stiff.

His eyes were still slightly open, looking straight at Lu Xin.

The feeling of being looked at by him made people feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Qin Ran is dead, what will happen?"

Looking down at the dead Qin Ran, Lu Xin thought about this in his mind.

The next moment, he suddenly realized something, his body tensed, and he instantly stepped back three or four meters.

In his field of vision, the dead Qin Ran began to change, and a tree grew out of him.

It looked like an ordinary tree. The roots were in Qin Ran's body, and then extended out of the trunk. The trunk continued to grow upward, and finally grew a vine, but the vine was alive, like a snake.

"Whoosh..."

After the vine grew, it suddenly flew towards Lu Xin. The tip cracked and was filled with fangs.

This vine is extremely fast, almost as fast as a bullet.

But with the help of his sister, Lu Xin reacted faster than the vine, turned his head slightly, and hid.

But this vine continued to extend forward without any hesitation, and behind Lu Xin, about twenty meters away, were the group of town residents holding various "weapons", hiding in the shadows, and secretly watching them.

The vines directly entangled one of the residents at the front.

Lu Xin realized something was wrong and hurriedly raised his hand to grab it, tearing the vine into two pieces.

However, the residents of the small town were quickly entangled in the vines.

He was a little dull at first, with just a smile on his face, but his expression began to change. His eyes turned upward, revealing a large white of the eye. Then, the eyeball seemed to be in the eye socket, rolling completely in a circle, revealing the pupil again.

But at this time, the pupils were already fixed on Lu Xin.

"Zhang Si huo, how dare you harm me..."

He muttered something vague.

His eyes were full of hatred, and he shouted another name of Qin Ran, but the one he was looking at was Lu Xin.

While shouting, he waved the sickle in his hand and rushed towards Lu Xin.

In his eyes, Lu Xin seemed to have become Qin Ran.

Looking at his stumbling figure, Lu Xin did not kill him, but leaned slightly and took two steps back.

At this moment, all the details about No. 041 special pollution source were flashing through his mind. At that time, Cui Wang, which had become Qin Ran, encountered such a thing. Someone came to him to seek revenge. If he killed one, two more would come, and the number kept increasing...

So he knew that he couldn't kill that "Avengers" at this time.

However, before Lu Xin could think of a solution to this matter, the "Avengers" stopped.

He seemed to be frightened by Lu Xin. He only took two steps forward and then stopped.

His eyes were full of hatred, staring at Lu Xin, then he raised the sickle and cut his own throat.

"Zhang Si huo, I must kill you..."

Because there was a hole in his throat, the sound of air leakage sounded a little strange, but it was full of strange horror:

"Even if I die, I will definitely kill you..."

"Self-destruction..."

Looking at this scene, Lu Xin suddenly remembered something again.

According to Cui Wang, who became "Qin Ran" at the time, after the number of people seeking revenge from him reached four, he no longer dared to kill any more and just locked them up. However, after the four revengeful people determined that they had no hope of revenge, they immediately attacked each other and even devoured each other, completing the steps of "revenge" and "killing" and starting the next step.

This small town resident committed suicide just because he felt that he could not kill himself. To complete this step?

While thinking this way, Lu Xin saw that the tree growing out of Qin Ran had already given birth to a second vine, and then the two vines quickly reached forward, like two snakes swaying in parallel, and rushed towards the residents again.

But this time, Lu Xin did not let it come into contact with the residents of the town, and directly cut it off with his hand.

But the severed vines, as if they had a life of their own, continued to fly and entangled the two residents.

Soon, they shouted words of revenge, then looked at Lu Xin fiercely, but attacked each other.

Lu Xin's heart sank slightly.

These vines, even if they are cut off, still have a certain vitality.

With such a wide range, this is enough for them to capture, or contaminate, some people.

This type of pollution simply does not seem to be cut off by physical means.

The only way is to clear the surrounding area first so that there is no target for him to pollute.

But the key point is that there are now a large number of Happy Town residents around here. They seem to have no fear. Even if they see such a fierce battle happening around them, even if they see that three of them have become abnormal or even commit suicide because of this incident, they still stay in place so stupidly, and there is a faint feeling that the circle is shrinking...

"These residents are so stupid..."

Lu Xin Thinking about this question, he also remembered the second of the three major principles of combat among ability users in the information:

Fighting is never the key to victory or defeat, preparation for battle is.

Qin Ran chose to hide in this town, is it because the residents of this town have this characteristic?

While Lu Xin was thinking about these questions, the tentacles had turned into four.

The "tree" growing out of Qin Ran's body has also grown significantly at this time. From the height of about one meter at the beginning, it has grown four times. The surface of the tree is the color of flesh and blood, as if the skin has been torn off. The surface of the vines waving around is bright red like snake scales. They spread in all directions, with countless tentacles flying around.

The strong smell of blood filled the nostrils.

There seemed to be countless shouts or cries, angry shouts, or shrill laughter, echoing among the densely packed houses around.

Thin and scattered spiritual tentacles have enveloped the surrounding area of dozens of meters.

The light of Crimson Moon hangs down from above the head, and the air seems to have turned into water ripples, trembling finely.

"Wow..."

Just as the weird tree on Qin Ran was growing at a crazy speed and covering an increasingly wider area, the sound of windows being smashed came from behind the row of rooms.

Immediately afterwards, a bright light came on, and four motorcycles quickly drove towards the hillside behind.

Those should be the companions of Qin Ran. When they saw something was wrong, they immediately left the town on bicycles.

Lu Xin twisted his body and rushed towards the group of small town residents, lifted them up and threw them into the room. These residents didn't know how to avoid, so he had to help them avoid it. When he saw the shadows of the motorcycles leaving, he couldn't care less about chasing them.

While his body was moving, he took out a flare gun from his bag and fired it into the air in the direction of their escape.

Shining flares lit up the area and the town.

Lu Xin knew that Gecko would see the signal flare, and then intercepted these people. For himself, he had to deal with Qin Ran.

"How do I interrupt this process?"

At the same time as the signal bomb was fired, Lu Xin suddenly raised his head and looked at the position of "Qin Ran"'s body.

His figure had tensed slightly, ready to pounce out and tear the corpse into pieces.

But Mom, who was standing not far away, shook his head slightly. "Tearing him apart now will help him spread..."

Lu Xin narrowed his eyes and grabbed his excited sister who wanted to rush over.

He understood the meaning of Mom. Although Mental Monster has the characteristics of being alive, it is not a living creature after all. Their essence is a kind of Pollution Source. Therefore, when their quality, or spiritual level, is relatively low, they can be easily torn into pieces.

After being torn into pieces, they will lose their living characteristics, and the broken parts will dissipate directly.

But when its mass reaches a certain level, tearing it apart will not destroy it, it will just turn into two Pollution Source.

By then, the pollution speed of Qin Ran may double.

"But if you don't tear it apart..."

Lu Xin frowned and looked up sharply.

At this time, Qin Ran is rising rapidly.

The range covered by its mental fluctuations has exceeded thirty meters, and the number of vines and human-shaped "fruits" on the seven-eight-meter-high Flesh Monster Tree has reached eight, like a man-eating tree with a human-shaped catcher, struggling and dancing crazily.

Around him, there were sixteen town residents who were charging towards him with various weapons.

The development of things seems to be very similar to the special incident of No. 041 at that time.

But this time, the increase rate of "Qin Ran" pollution is much faster than that then.

Moreover, there is almost no time interval in between.

They were pollution incidents of the same nature, but the levels of both parties were not at the same level.

"What can be done to stop him from contaminating the residents of surrounding towns?"

"Why is the pollution so much faster this time than last time?"

"What will happen if we directly destroy Qin Ran's body, that is, Pollution Source?"

"How can we get rid of him?"

"..."

Lu Xin was thinking quickly in his mind, but he didn't think of the answer for a moment.

Looking at Mom, she saw her brows were slightly furrowed, as if she was also thinking about this question and didn't have an answer for the time being.

Should I just ask my father to come over and solve it?

Lu Xin thought, but quickly shook his head again, now is the wrong time.

He understands his father's temper. He will not tolerate the annoyance of these "Avengers" chasing him, and will only deal with them.

Judging from his temperament and personality, his father will become a good friend of Qin Ran.

He will help Qin Ran eliminate all "Avengers" as quickly as possible, and madly intensify Qin Ran's pollution ability...

Today is the New Year, I wish you all good luck!
