"Addicted?"
Lu Xin When the Beginning heard this Vice President Xiao's story, he didn't feel anything special.
If it was just a nightmare, it would still be acceptable to me...
But when he heard Vice President Xiao's last words, he suddenly realized what the problem was.
Facing the look Lu Xin was looking at, this Vice President Xiao weakly grabbed his hair.
His hair, which looked like it had been specially washed and styled in the morning, immediately became a little messy.
Then he took a long breath and smoked out part of the cigarette in one gulp. "I am forced to eat by that person every day..."
"Eat something like that."
"Although it was an extremely terrifying dream, I... I was forcibly changed."
"Some people say that in dreams, there is actually no sense of taste. This is false. We rarely think of the sense of taste in dreams when we are awake. But when we are really in a dream, no matter how absurd the dream is, everything feels real. I am in the dream, changing the pattern every day, eating my... eating that thing, and then I taste the indescribable deliciousness, which I will never forget when I wake up."
"During that time, I started eating meat crazily. I tried all kinds of meat, but... it didn't work."
After saying this in one breath, he stopped tiredly, stared at Lu Xin with bloodshot eyes, and whispered, "No food in reality can compare with the taste I tasted in my dreams. Compared with the food I ate in my dreams, everything in reality is so bland and tasteless, like chewing wood, so, so I... even somewhat expected to fall asleep soon."
"..."
Lu Xin nodded calmly and said, "It's indeed a bit scary."
Vice President Xiao raised his head and glanced at Lu Xin, wanting to say something, but he just sighed.
"Everything in the dream was no longer scary to me, but one day, I was scared by myself in reality..."
Vice President Xiao's eyes became a little frightened. "Because I eat something like that in my dreams every day, but I can't eat it when I wake up. This kind of desire seems to be superimposed, and it becomes stronger day by day. One day, when I went home to eat with my father and the others, my younger brothers and sisters came to play with me. When I hugged them, a terrible thought suddenly came into my mind..."
"I..."
He suddenly looked up at Lu Xin, with a nervous and panic expression on his face.
But in this panic, there was also a trace of strange greed. "I have a strong impulse to want them..."
Knowing that he hadn't eaten after all, Lu Xin just nodded calmly.
"After discovering this idea, I was very scared..."
Vice President Xiao saw that Lu Xin had no intention of talking to him, so he could only continue talking slowly, "Since then, I have tried to go home as little as possible. I used to go home almost every day, but now, I live in the company as much as possible. Even if I really have to go back, I try to avoid my brothers and sisters as much as possible. I really can't stand the feeling that suddenly comes out in my heart..."
Lu Xin expressed his appreciation. "You did the right thing."
"But this won't solve the problem..."
Vice President Xiao The excitement began to slowly subside, and there was only more and more fatigue. "I can't keep hiding from my younger siblings. After all, you may know my family's situation... My mother has passed away, but my aunt is very good to me. My father is older, and he actually loves his younger siblings very much. What he is most worried about is the future discord between us siblings."
"I am much older than my younger brothers and sisters. If they are really selfish, it is impossible for them to defeat me. And if my father splits up his family's industry in advance and distributes it to us, in this fierce environment, the competitiveness of my family's business will be weakened..."
"So, my father also values whether I can really take care of my younger brothers and sisters..."
"To be honest, the reason why I have developed so smoothly in the company is because my father and aunt believe in me and know that I love my younger brothers and sisters, so I cannot treat them badly. Otherwise, my aunt may have started to hinder me long ago..."
"I am actually very grateful to her, and I also like the harmony in our family."
"But unfortunately, I keep having such dreams, and I feel that I am becoming more and more abnormal."
"I don't even dare to tell them or anyone about such things..."
"I'm just worried that if something leaks out accidentally, I might be in dire straits right away..."
As he spoke, it seemed that he was already speechless. He was silent for a while, and then sighed longly, "This time, if my father and aunt had not gone to Main City together to handle the matter of settling in the whole family, and my younger brothers and sisters who were still studying in Satellite City No. 2 had to be left to me to take care of, I would not have allowed myself to be so close to the two of them. And just yesterday, I really..."
"I was really scared. I didn't even dare to stay in their hotel. The more they tried to make trouble with me, the more scared I became of myself. Fortunately, for some reason, the police came over to investigate some issues, and I happened to follow them to the Guard Department for one night..."
"..."
Vice President Xiao kept talking nonstop, his face was pale and his hair was messy, and his complicated eyes looked like he was broken.
Lu Xin was not in the mood to pay attention, but silently thought of the question he mentioned.
I have the same dream every day, eating my younger brothers and sisters, and even gradually becoming addicted...
... What kind of problem is this?
What kind of Pollution Source did he encounter?
But is Pollution Source's influence on the surroundings really limited to one person?
Or, it could be their whole family.
In this case...
Lu Xin thought slowly for a while and remembered a kind of person with the ability called "dream creation".
Could someone with such abilities be exerting influence on him?
"Why... why don't you speak?"
That Vice President Xiao talked for a while, but didn't hear Lu Xin's answer.
When he looked up, he saw Lu Xin frowning, looking thoughtful, and panicked. "Am I hopeless?"
"Huh?"
Lu Xin was startled for a moment, shook his head and said, "No, I was thinking about other things."
Vice President Xiao looked at him with a pleading face. "You said you have experience in dealing with this kind of thing, then..."
Lu Xin thought for a while and said, "Wait a minute, I'll make a call first."
After saying that, he picked up his bag, turned around and walked out of the office.
"Wow..."
When he walked out of the office, countless eyes suddenly focused on Lu Xin.
All his colleagues looked at him blankly, their eyes full of curiosity.
Especially at this time, because the office was occupied, Director Liu had to sit in the small partition of Lu Xin. He raised his head suddenly and looked at Lu Xin first, and then looked at the office, for fear that blood would flow out of it, or a corpse would fall...
... Just now he had been waiting for gunshots to be heard in the office, and his heart was anxious as he waited.
Lu Xin was preoccupied at this time, so he ignored them and went straight to the stairs.
He took out the cigarette from the iron box given by Vice President Xiao, lit one, and Lu Xin dialed out a number.
"Mr. Shanbing, good morning..."
Han Bing's voice sounds so nice.
"Oh, good morning..."
Lu Xin hurriedly said hello to others, was stunned for a moment, and muttered, "Have you had breakfast?"
"Have eaten."
Han Bing answered with a smile and added, "Little wontons."
"Okay, pretty good..."
Lu Xin calmed down and did not continue to discuss the topic of breakfast. He lowered his voice and said, "The Vice President Xiao I told you yesterday came to the company to find me today... Don't worry, he doesn't seem to be a perverted killer, and I haven't solved him... He became like this because he has been having a strange dream for the past month. Every night, someone will force him to eat him..."
After describing it as briefly as possible, he slowly said, "So, what do you think is going on in this situation?"
"Dreamweaver-type ability user?"
Han Bing reacted quickly and said calmly, "He seemed to have received a strong psychological suggestion, which created twisted desires."
"Yes."
Lu Xin said, "I also think this may be the case, so I have a question..."
Han Bing said in a soft voice, "Mr. Shan Bing, if it is true that Dreamweaver-type's ability users are exerting influence on him, it means that the situation is more serious. Moreover, Dreamweaver-type's ability users are different from others. They belong to Influence-type... It is difficult to deal with..."
"Influence-type?"
Lu Xin was stunned for a moment after hearing this.
I vaguely remember hearing it somewhere.
Han Bing hurriedly explained, "This is also part of the training for ability users, and you will learn it soon."
"For more and more ability users who have appeared since Crimson Moon incident, one of our methods is to record. Every time we discover a new ability, we will record it, give it a name, and then share it among the alliances."
"But because of the scarcity and distortion of many abilities, our records are difficult to complete."
"Sometimes, it is difficult to record only one or part of its capabilities."
"Therefore, we will also divide certain abilities with similar properties into one group. In this way, even if we cannot investigate the complete abilities of certain opponents or strange creatures at the moment, we can still make general speculations and references based on their categories."
"Dreamweaver-type, hypnosis type, because its main ability is to influence the opponent, so it is classified as Influence-type."
"And Princess-type, Puppet-type, both belong to the control and control of others, so they belong to Control-type."
"In addition, there are Distortion-type, Terror-type, Hell-type, etc..."
"..."
"So complicated..."
Lu Xin then reacted and thought about it at the same time. In this case, it seemed that Qin Ran was talking about Happy Town.
Subconsciously: "What is the destruction group?"
Han Bing was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "What destruction group? There seems to be no such group."
"Oh."
Lu Xin thought that he might have remembered it wrong, and he didn't care. After a slight pause, he said, "But that's not what I wanted to ask."
"Huh?"
A small question mark should appear above Han Bing's head at the other end.
Lu Xin was still a little embarrassed and blushed, but still asked, "That..."
"If I accept this matter, it will be considered a task, right?"
"How much is the reward?"
"..."
Han Bing paused for a moment, then laughed and said happily, "Mr. Shan Bing, dealing with illegal and criminal ability users is different from dealing with Pollution Source, because these illegal ability users, if not restrained, will often use their own abilities to cause great turmoil to Qinggang City, so dealing with matters related to them, the reward is at least 50,000..."
"Crack!"
Lu Xin flicked away the long cigarette ash, with a smile on his face, "Okay."
