Lu Xin said these words very calmly, even a little gentle.

After saying this, he quietly leaned on the backrest and looked calmly at the crowd in front of him.

There were many monsters in the crowd, with strange faces.

Some of them looked at the chaotic crowd in front of them and showed happy smiles; some followed the captured people and shouted with gloating; some showed vigilant expressions and were hiding in some hidden corners; and some, as if they had discovered where the source of these threats came from, stretched their necks and cast eerie glances in the direction of Lu Xin.

But at this time, Lu Xin was too lazy to pay attention to them.

This kind of mood is very complicated, it is a feeling without joy, anger, or even ups and downs.

He just looked at the strange things in front of him, as if he was no longer involved.

Chen Jing looked at Lu Xin's somewhat forlorn face, and felt an extremely complicated feeling in his heart.

The Beginning She came over to Lu Xin to talk about this problem, feeling a little worried.

She was worried that this distrustful attitude would have a bad emotional impact on Lu Xin.

But after seeing Lu Xin's reaction, she suddenly realized that she was wrong.

Lu Xin It doesn't matter whether you or others believe it or not.

This discovery made her eyes narrow, and she suddenly turned around and strode forward.

The sharp high heels under her feet made a crisp and sharp sound when she stepped on them.

She was walking towards a young man on the sidewalk not far away who was filming the arrest with a digital camera. While filming him, he was shouting things like "Holy shit", "What happened again", "This is exciting", "Administrative Hall is doing something again" and the like.

No matter from which angle you look at it, he looks very normal.

Chen Jing cannot sense any abnormal fluctuations in his body even with his own mental power.

But Lu Xin clearly pointed out that he had a problem.

This is the crux of the matter.

So, Chen Jing walked over to the young man expressionlessly. At first, the young man didn't notice it. He even pointed the camera at Chen Jing who was walking over excitedly. Looking at her amazing figure, his mouth opened wide subconsciously:

"Wow, this woman..."

But before he finished speaking, he suddenly saw a fist appearing directly in the camera's screen, and quickly grew in size.

"Bang!"

The camera was smashed to pieces by Chen Jing, and the young man was knocked down by her punch.

The young man with a bloody nose struggled to get up, but Chen Jing had already grabbed his collar and pulled him up.

The pupils in the eyes turned blood red:

"Although I just hit you, you should be able to hear that my voice is very gentle..."

"... Yes, don't worry about those details. What I use now is a gentle tone!"

"I am gentle to you because I like you..."

"You only have one chance in your life to be liked by me, so should you be honest with me?"

"..."

The expression on the young man's face changed from frightened, to lustful, and then to one willing to rip out his heart and lungs.

He nodded vigorously. "I swear, I won't defraud you even if I defraud my parents of my pocket money."

"Very good..."

Chen Jing said softly, "I heard that people in the city now like to play with a wish-making thing..."

"How come I don't know..."

The young man had a look of confusion on his face and murmured.

Chen Jing's brows suddenly frowned, and he slowly and gently said, "Think about it again and dig into the deep memories..."

"Now you need to use these unknown secrets to please me..."

"..."

The young man's brows furrowed tightly. After a while, his eyes suddenly lit up and he shouted, "I don't know what a wish is, but I know there is a curse game. No matter who you hate, as long as you curse him, he will definitely suffer misfortune."

"Haha, it's true."

"I cursed the old lady next door because she always complained that the sound of the stereo was too loud when I was watching movies..."

"I don't know if it was true or just coincidence, but she broke her leg a week later..."

"..."

Chen Jing's pupils condensed slightly, and after two rounds of Crimson Moon, they seemed to turn into a small red dot.

"All the people they have arrested, so far, through any testing methods, no abnormalities have been found in them."

"Even some surprise interrogations and the explanatory documents given by the Special Purity Department only stated that they were related to a case codenamed '124 - the mysterious Wish Event'. It was also confirmed that several people had indeed been exposed to this kind of thing."

"But compared with the evidence they produced, what they wanted to do and who they wanted to arrest all exceeded their limits."

"To a certain extent, everything they are doing now is based on the conjecture of a capable person."

"That ability user's file level is very high, but I had already paid attention to him before his file was raised."

"He is from Satellite City No. 2 and is suspected of having multiple personality disorder and even a certain degree of delusion."

"As for what he said, he could see Mental Monster, but there is no relevant experimental data to really prove it."

"So, I don't think we can accept the explanation of such a person..."

"Even if we accept it, it will be difficult to convince the gentlemen of Qinggang City!"

"..."

In the temporary office, Minister Shen finished listening to the secretary's report.

Then he suddenly turned his head and looked at the secretary. "You said we can't accept the words of a madman?"

The secretary was startled for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, the impact of the matter is too great, so..."

"Do you think the point is whether we believe in him or not?"

Minister Shen's voice suddenly became louder and he said coldly, "The point is that Qinggang is now facing a large-scale Special Pollution Event!"

"Someone has discovered the signs of this pollution incident, and you are still hesitating whether we should respond?"

"A grenade may misfire, so do you dare to pull out the ring and sleep with it?"

"..."

The secretary was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to answer.

At this moment, a man in a black suit pushed in the door, nodded and smiled. Minister Shen and everyone in this office knew that he was Mr. Su's personal secretary. His presence here meant that Mr. Su himself was here.

"Mr. Su said that he believes in Minister Shen's judgment and that you have full authority to handle it."

"..."

Minister Shen nodded, turned around, and began to give orders. "Assemble everyone in Base No. 3 to go over and cooperate with the Special Purity Department to arrest people."

"A temporary site was opened from the abandoned industrial area in the east of the city to detain and isolate those who were arrested."

"Internally, Level 1 alert is released citywide and Main City is blocked."

"City Defense Department, all ability users and Special Task Force, go out and divide the area into areas, each guarding one place to prevent any changes."

"Finally, High Wall Overclocked Electro-Ion Cannon emergency procedure is activated, turn the muzzle, aim..."

"...Main City!"

"..."

The subordinates around him were already confused after hearing this. It took them a long time to salute hurriedly and said loudly, "Yes!"

Even the secretary next to Mr. Su was stunned for a moment and said, "I have to report to Mr. Su again."

"This last order is too scary..."

"..."

"Information Analysis Team Please note that I have conducted a special interrogation on the suspected mutant and obtained the following information:

First, all suspected mutants should have participated in some kind of ritual such as making wishes and cursing.

Second, this mysterious ritual is spread in Main City local area networks, schools, enterprises and other places, and it is spread in various ways.

3. Suspected infected persons have no obvious characteristics, but must be immediately isolated and all external communication methods blocked. "

"..."

It's almost dark.

As winter approaches, it always seems to get dark very early.

Lu Xin sat quietly in the passenger seat, not looking at the panic of the others.

His emotions did not fluctuate at all, he just sat there quietly, looking at the city that originally left him with a particularly orderly impression, almost completely in line with his fantasy of the pre-civilization era. Now, this city is being occupied by monsters.

But now, I can only watch them take over, because Lu Xin has not tried to force others to change their minds at all.

His desires, or demands, have never been many.

Just like at this time, he doesn't expect others to completely believe in himself on such an important matter.

At this moment, a small hand stretched out from behind.

She held Lu Xin's palm.

Lu Xin turned his head and saw a beautiful face. Kid opened his big eyes and looked at himself blankly.

Lu Xin suddenly understood that she was saying, "I believe you."

A slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, although he did not feel any loss or atmosphere.

But it doesn't feel bad for a person to express that she believes in herself.

Also at this time, the sound of high heels hitting the road was heard, and Chen Jing came outside the car window.

"Individual soldier, I have an urgent mission for you."

Looking at Chen Jing's serious face, Lu Xin was slightly startled, and hurriedly opened the door and came down to face the leader.

"Find all those mutants immediately, leaving no one behind."

Chen Jing's words were crisp and clear, and even beyond doubt.

Lu Xin was startled for a moment before he reacted and said hurriedly, "Okay."

I don't know why, but I want to smile on my face even though I don't feel any strange emotions.

This may be because I don't care whether they believe in me or not.

But when they believe, their mood will indeed become better?

"Team Leader Chen, if we continue to arrest, our manpower..."

The armed soldier next to the vehicle behind listened to Chen Jing's order. His heart was trembling, but he still asked.

Chen Jing turned to look at him. Before she could speak, suddenly there was the sound of propellers turning above her head. Three or four helicopters rose from behind the building. Further away, all the traffic lights could be seen, turning red at the same time.

On the emergency lane, there were military vehicles one after another, looking like a black ant colony, swarming over quickly.

Chen Jing The walkie-talkie in his hand made a burst of electricity, and finally there was a brief report:

"The internal first-level emergency response procedures have been activated. Support from the City Defense Department has arrived."
