"How could this happen?"

When following Chen Jing and boarding her jeep parked outside the station, Lu Xin was still a little confused. "Why was Xiao Yuan's stepmother the one who gave him nightmares? By doing this, did she harm Xiao Yuan or her two children?"

"Are you trying to understand their thoughts?"

Chen Jing turned the key that had been left in the car before. After listening to Lu Xin's words, he couldn't help laughing and said:

"We are not professional detectives, nor psychologists, nor researchers of social weird phenomena."

"We are just a group of people responsible for cleaning up Pollution Source."

"So what we have to do is to arrest Pollution Source and those who use the characteristics of pollution to break laws and disciplines, that's all. Their interrogation, training and psychological analysis will be done by dedicated personnel, and they will be more professional than us."

"For example, about the things you are curious about now, a report will be handed over to us soon."

"But I don't even support you looking at this report."

"Because technically, when you find the woman, your job is over."

"If you insist on reading, I will give you a piece of advice. Through these reports, you can always see a lot of dark sides beyond your imagination. If you are not mentally strong enough, you may even be affected by those dark thoughts..."

As she spoke, she paused slightly and added with a smile, "... Actually, that should be considered a kind of pollution."

"It's just that we can't even fight with our abilities!"

"..."

"A leader is a leader, and he speaks with a standard."

Lu Xin thought to himself, in fact, he is just curious now.

Xiao Yuan's stepmother was the one who gave him nightmares. This incident was beyond his expectation.

But now Lu Xin's heart is more puzzled, but it comes from the weakness she showed.

When I dealt with Xiao Yuan's remaining mental power before, I didn't think she was so obedient.

There are still some doubts about the matter, but since Chen Jing said that the interrogation results will be handed over, it is better to wait and see.

Seeing that Lu Xin stopped talking, Chen Jing also smiled and said, "By the way, you haven't said anything yet, how did you tell?"

"Compare her mental strength."

Lu Xin answered honestly, "In addition, I also saw Mental Monster in her."

"Mental Monster?"

Chen Jing seemed a little curious and asked.

"Yes, it's like a second head. It looks the same, but it's very sinister..."

Lu Xin described it carefully.

As a good listener, Chen Jing did not interrupt him and listened completely to his description of Mental Monster. Then he subconsciously glanced back through the rearview mirror and said calmly, "Did your family come to the city this time?"

Lu Xin heard the hidden meaning of Chen Jing's words, pondered for a moment, and turned to look at Chen Jing: "My sister..."

Chen Jing subconsciously glanced in the direction he was looking, and his face tightened slightly.

Lu Xin said, "My sister is not with me."

Chen Jing immediately turned his head and glanced at Lu Xin.

Lu Xin smiled and said, "Actually, I haven't seen my family for a while."

Chen Jing's gaze stayed on Lu Xin's face for a while, without any trace of lying at all.

She remembered Professor Bai's previous analysis:

"If an individual soldier's 'family' is actually his perception of his reconstructed abilities, then as he becomes more and more skillful in using these abilities and adapts to the characteristics of these abilities, his family will slowly disappear."

"Very good."

She nodded, didn't say anything more, and just started the car gently.

Lu Xin was startled for a moment, and suddenly remembered something. "Wait, there is someone else..."

Chen Jing turned to look at him curiously.

Lu Xin glanced in the direction of the station and said, "Gecko isn't here yet? He asked me to meet at the station."

"Gecko?"

Chen Jing couldn't help but smile after hearing this and said, "He came here on the first bus in the morning."

Lu Xin was startled. "Where are the people?"

"Originally, he said he would wait here and go there together."

Chen Jing pursed his lips, suppressed a smile, and said, "But when I told him that his information analysis specialist had already served as a conference organizer and settled in the hotel at the conference site one day in advance, he immediately took a taxi and ran there..."

Lu Xin was stunned when he heard this. "Huh? He didn't wait for me?"

Chen Jing nodded and said, "He didn't even think of waiting for you."

Lu Xin almost had a confused expression with a ringed beard on his face, and he didn't know what to say.

And Chen Jing smiled and started the car, saying, "I will send you directly to Donghai Hotel where we are holding the meeting. During the meeting, you can stroll around Main City by yourself, have a meal with your colleagues, and send you to the place. My task will be completed."

"But it's your first time coming to Main City. If you have anything you want to ask, you can ask me at any time, although I don't like being a guide."

"Okay..."

Lu Xin agreed casually, but after thinking about it carefully, he was a little confused. "Then should I ask or shouldn't I ask?"

At this time, the car had already driven out of the complicated road next to the station and entered a brand new road.

Looking out from the passenger seat, Lu Xin immediately felt a completely different environment.

Clean, tidy, crowded, and alienated.

The buildings here are tall and clean, and the glass outside the building reflects the sunlight, which seems to make the world a little brighter. Pedestrians on the road are also well-dressed, and the flow of people interweaves into a sea, carrying each other to different places.

With his face pressed against the glass window, Lu Xin looked at the people outside who seemed to have different temperaments in their bones.

He suddenly realized a question that he had thought about a lot.

The original dean always mentioned what the world was like before Crimson Moon.

Could it be that this is what it looks like?

In essence, there seems to be no difference between Main City and Satellite City.

Satellite City There are also many roads, many vehicles, and even more chaos than here.

But the neatness and regularity in Main City have a strange magic that makes people subconsciously awe, but also close to them.

"Do you like the environment here?"

Chen Jing was driving the car and saw that Lu Xin hadn't spoken for a long time, so he asked with a smile.

Lu Xin nodded slightly.

Chen Jing was silent for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "What are you thinking about now?"

Lu Xin thought for a while and said, "Will Satellite City No. 2 also become like this?"

"Our goal is not just to make Satellite City No. 2 look like this."

Chen Jing smiled and replied, "Also, can you tell the difference between here and Satellite City, and outside the city?"

Lu Xin waited for a while and said, "People here wait for traffic lights and know how to walk on the sidewalk."

Chen Jing nodded, turned to look at Lu Xin, and said, "This is called order."

"A professor I respect very much once said that when people no longer have to worry about food and clothing, they will yearn for love."

"A city without food and clothing will look forward to order."

"After Crimson Moon incident, although the world collapsed for a period of time, order will be established sooner or later."

"It's that simple!"

"..."

Lu Xin listened quietly to Chen Jing's words, secretly noted them down, and began to think about other things.

He felt that the feeling he had when he came to Main City was very precious, and he should stay in a quiet time and feel it slowly.

What he is about to welcome is the meeting in Donghai Hotel.

Since Gecko's information analysis specialist Tie Cui is now in the hotel, where is his information specialist Han Bing?

He couldn't help but be a little curious.

Having worked with Han Bing for so long, he had already sketched in his mind the appearance of a young, lively, cute, and considerate little girl. However, sometimes, he didn't know what kind of hair this little girl would wear or what kind of clothes she would wear.

Looking at him who seemed to be looking forward to it and slightly silent, Chen Jing just smiled slightly.

She drove quietly, carrying Lu Xin through this tall and neat city, and drove straight to the hotel in the east district of the city.

As the car approached its destination, the style of the surrounding buildings began to change. There are no longer rows of neat residential buildings with warm colors. Instead, there are tall silver buildings rising from the ground one after another, which seem to have a naturally sharp temperament. There are also lush gardens, squares paved with neat and clean stone slabs, and wide, flat roads filled with checkpoints.

Lu Xin knows that we will arrive at our destination soon.

While Chen Jing wasn't paying attention, he secretly arranged his clothes.

Soon, with the checkpoints all the way, the jeep drove into a wide square. In the center of the square was a tall building that seemed to have more than thirty floors. Many neatly dressed people were walking in and out of this tall building.

Lu Xin turned around and saw a familiar figure in the foyer.

It was Gecko who was wearing a gray suit that looked very flirtatious at first glance and had combed hair. He was twisting his body in a shy and exaggerated posture, smiling and saying something to a tall girl with a calm temperament next to him.

The girl was about in her twenties, wearing a cold-colored windbreaker, and rolled her eyes at Gecko.

Beside them, there was a girl with long hair wearing a white down jacket. She looked very sweet and well-behaved. She was standing next to them with a cup of coffee in her hand and smiled. She would look far away from time to time, as if she was waiting for someone.

Chen Jing slowed down the car and glanced at Lu Xin with a smile, "We're here."

Lu Xin nodded, waited for the car to stop, opened the door, and got out.

He didn't know who he would see when he came this time, but he already had some expectations in his heart.

"Hey, here we are..."

Gecko, who was standing in the foyer, turned his head and saw Lu Xin getting out of the car, and immediately shouted with a smile.

While laughing, he waved his hand vigorously to Lu Xin, and then walked towards here with the two girls beside him.

The two girls looked here with slightly different expressions, one was curious and the other was shy.

Lu Xin adjusted a suitable smile, waved to Gecko, and prepared to walk over.

"Pa"

At this moment, there was a slight sound of glass breaking from above.

Some broken glass fell gently to the ground.

These broken pieces of glass seemed to have fallen into water, falling very slowly.

Facing the sunlight in the sky, these broken glass even reflected a strange and wonderful light.

Lu Xin felt something and subconsciously looked up.

Then he saw, in the air, a girl holding an umbrella jumping down from the building.

The floor was too high, and the way she fell from the sky looked terrifying and sudden. The glass particles she fell in the air reflected a colorful halo on her figure, giving her an unreal haziness. Before everyone could react, she had already fallen to about three or four floors. Then her fall suddenly slowed down, and the umbrella in her hand also stretched.

"Wow!"

The skirt with complicated ruffles she wore rose up in the wind, and then slowly fell down again.

She was just suspended in the air.

The facial features, which are so delicate that they are almost impeccable, appear a bit dull.

But in the eyes on that face, a little life emerged from the hollows, staring straight at Lu Xin's face.

Then a happy smile appeared on her face.

The new book issue of Old Ghost is full of panic, and I don't know much about various techniques. I can only try to update it under the reminder of the operation officer. I won't say anything secretly. I am updating this chapter because of your monthly votes...

Wake up and still have it!!!
