"You... do you have to go against me?"

In the hotel lobby, most people had already escaped from the lobby while the ghost was gone.

Even though their legs and feet were still weak at this time, they were helpless and unable to escape. At this time, under the command of the police officer, they were squatting tremblingly in various places, keeping a certain distance from each other.

Lu Xin did not force them all to escape, because that would be meaningless.

In fact, less than a minute passed. After the order seemed to be slightly stable, a security guard suddenly raised his head, looked at Lu Xin with twisted eyes full of hatred, and shouted sternly, "Do you think you can let me arrest you without mercy?"

He suddenly changed his face and said something that was incomprehensible, causing some faint commotion.

But because the surroundings were so orderly, the commotion was not big. Some people even raised their heads curiously and looked at him.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not against you."

Lu Xin Seeing that he had returned, he looked at the security guard calmly and said, "We have no grudges, right?"

"I'm just doing my job. There are orders from leaders above. There's nothing I can do..."

"As for whether I can catch you..."

Lu Xin also seemed to think about it and said, "From the data, it should be possible. There are two ways to enter other people's bodies: contact entry and air entry. If you enter by contact, the speed is very fast, but it requires you to contact others, which lengthens the process. If you enter through the air, the distance should not be infinite. The farthest distance... should not exceed ten meters?"

He seemed to recall the content of the information, and then nodded. "So judging from the current situation..."

He paused and said, "You really can't escape..."

"..."

"Kaka..."

The security guard gritted his teeth tightly and the muscles on his face were twisted.

He seemed to want to say some cruel words, but just now, he had already gone to the edge to see it and knew that what Lu Xin said was true.

This made it even more unbearable for him.

The young man in front of him, who seemed to have a very ordinary temperament, was not taken seriously by him at first.

He is someone who dares to sneak into Main City and challenge authority. How can he be willing to be threatened by such an ordinary guy?

But it happened that this guy who looked like an office worker made him feel angry when he said such uninspiring words.

Faintly, there was even a sense of fear.

Because he did see the people surrounding him and knew that they were narrowing the circle of encirclement.

"Wow!"

He suddenly stood up, gritted his teeth, and shouted viciously, "Now, you are the one forcing me!"

"Do you want to kill everyone?"

"Everyone within my capabilities is my hostage..."

"Since you must go against me, then I will kill them all..."

"..."

When he said this, he suddenly turned around and hit the pillar hard.

The distance was too far, and his movements were sudden. Almost instantly, the security guard was hit and his head was covered in blood.

And the next moment, someone stood up next to him, laughed hard, picked up a pen and stabbed himself in the abdomen.

The surroundings instantly became chaotic, and everyone screamed loudly in shock.

Even the little police officer who helped maintain order was so frightened that his face changed and he took several steps back.

"Found it..."

Another person's voice sounded, it was the little girl at the front desk. She took out a fruit-peeling knife from the drawer, put it on her white and tender neck, and then stared at Lu Xin: "Say, do you want me to kill them all?"

Lu Xin's eyes instantly became a little cold.

He frowned and faced the little girl at the front desk. In his eyes, this little girl's face belonged to a man.

Facing the man's fierce and ferocious eyes, it took him a long time before he shook his head.

"You have already broken the law."

His look became a little serious, or a little indifferent, and there was no special emotion in his voice. "I don't know if the injuries of the two people just now were fatal. If they were fatal, then you have committed two lives. And if you continue to hurt others, then the crime you committed is no longer punishable by death, so now you are..."

"... Are you going to pay a price higher than the death penalty?"

As he spoke, he moved slowly, as if moving his hands and feet. "Although I haven't fought many people with abilities."

"But how to make you more painful experience, there is still a little bit..."

"..."

"You..."

The calmness on Lu Xin's face and the calm-sounding words made the ghost feel terrified.

He didn't know why this young man's words made him feel uncomfortable. After a moment of reaction, he realized...

... He was just counting his sins, without the option of "compromise".

This made him feel entangled in his heart. The muscles on his face kept beating. He suddenly grabbed a fruit knife and pushed it hard against his neck.

At the same time, he yelled viciously, "You..."

Before he could finish his words, Lu Xin suddenly rushed forward.

As he rushed forward, he reached into his backpack, took out something, and threw it away.

"Uh-huh!"

Lu Xin rushed towards the front desk, but midway, it suddenly turned.

He rushed towards an uncle on the left and stuck the thing in his hand on his neck.

At the same time, the things he threw were flying strangely in the air.

It was as if an invisible hand grabbed the circle, and then placed it accurately around the neck of the leopard-print lady on the right.

The little girl at the front desk looked confused for a moment, and then became extremely frightened.

She still held the knife in her hand, but it was shaking.

"Others stand back."

Lu Xin winked at the police officer, then looked up and checked the status of the little girl at the front desk.

Then he whispered into the earphone, "We have been caught. The support team can come in directly."

Weared around their necks were two ability suppressors.

Whether it is an ability suppressor or a protective mask, its utility is not omnipotent.

It's like ordinary people wearing this kind of protective mask can't guarantee that they won't be contaminated. I have encountered some with high mental levels and strong pollution. Even if such masks are not in name only, there is not much difference in essence.

However, it can still play a certain role after all.

Especially for those whose ability mainly affects others, it can have a certain slowing effect.

The main function of the protective mask is to protect one's head, because when attacked by a person with abilities, the mental power usually starts from here. If this "ghost" wants to enter the brain of a warrior wearing a protective mask, then the protective mask will at least prolong the process by three to five times, giving the people around them enough time to react and determine a plan.

No matter entering or leaving, if you are slow, this ghost will not be able to haunt everyone's body.

Slowing down, he could easily be locked into a certain target by the people around him.

The principle of the ability suppressor is somewhat different from that of the protective mask. It is mainly composed of two parts, one is the mental ability sensor, and the other is the electric shock chip. As long as it senses abnormal fluctuations in mental energy, it will immediately release a strong current.

Whether it is knocking the person unconscious, causing pain, or distracting them, the effect of inhibiting their abilities can be achieved.

What Lu Xin just did was to capture the "ghost" through the suppressor.

Since the number of people in the hall was already much smaller, the remaining ones had been spread out as much as possible.

So they are far away from each other.

When Lu Xin rushed towards the little girl at the front desk, he knew that the timid ghost would inevitably escape and enter someone else's body. What Lu Xin did was to separate from his sister, rush towards the person on the left, and put an ability suppressor on him.

The younger sister rushed to the right and put an ability inhibitor on the leopard lady.

In this way, no matter whether the ghost enters the body of the two nearest people on the left or right, it will be restrained.

And if he escaped back into the body of the little girl at the front desk, it would be difficult to escape again when the people nearby were locked.

So, so far, the ghost's escape route has been completely restricted.
