The moment the city-wide alarm sounded, everyone in the city slowed down.

The next moment, he continued his nervous and busy state.

"Crash..."

The panicked residents, after being stunned for a moment, began to rush towards the surrounding shops and subway entrances. Those buildings all have a common feature, which is to install as much glass decoration as possible. Some are entirely made of tempered glass, with emergency evacuation signs painted on them. The armed soldiers, police officers, special teams and others also behaved differently.

Some ran to evacuate the panicked crowd, while others marched forward with their own guns in hand, strengthening the blockade of the quarantine area.

"Emergency evacuation, emergency evacuation..."

On the street radio, a male announcer's voice began to be heard, repeating the precautions for emergency escape.

Lu Xin Looking at the scenes on the street, I feel very comfortable.

He felt that the tension and order in this chaos had a unique sense of beauty.

"Did the individual soldier hear..."

"Single soldier..."

"Lu Xin! Observe the isolation area immediately and report the results..."

It wasn't until Chen Jing's voice sounded powerfully in the channel that Lu Xin reacted.

I suddenly felt a little panicked:

Apparently, the leader was very anxious and started calling him by his real name...

"Okay."

He immediately agreed, and turned to look at the isolation area, trying to remain calm and careful:

"I saw that these mutants had strange Mental Monsters born in them. However, these Mental Monsters are very weak. According to preliminary estimates, their magnitude is only in the dozens, and it is even possible Lower. However, when the mutants with Mental Monster on their bodies are killed, or fall to their death from a height, the Mental Monster on them will not disappear, but will merge with each other."

"The combination speed is very fast, the spiritual power is superimposed, and there is no upper limit observed."

"Also, I don't need to tell you. You should also be aware that these mutants are connected to Mental Monster next to the hotel."

"That Mental Monster seems to have a great attraction for them, making them want to rush over at all costs."

"..."

"In other words, killing these mutants will speed up the emergence of large-scale Mental Monster?"

Chen Jing in the channel ordered, "Blockade personnel should pay attention and try not to kill them. You can try tranquilizer bombs or special bullets."

"Information Analysis Team How are you preparing?"

"..."

In an office connected to the channel, there are dozens of staff members, mostly female, wearing cyan uniforms, who are quickly typing on the keyboard and summarizing various information. Many of them are even wearing casual clothes.

A voice sounded from time to time, "Sea Nation Old Captain The preliminary interrogation statement has been transmitted, folder No. 1."

"Satellite City No. 4 True Hometown related data has been retrieved."

"Special Task Force investigation report has been transmitted."

"The individual observation reports of ability users near the temporary isolation area have been compiled and transmitted."

"Professor Bai analysis report has been transmitted, check it immediately."

"..."

"The incident happened suddenly. We know too little about Sea Nation S-level ability users. It is better to use True Hometown as a breakthrough..."

"What we need to understand now is, what exactly is True Hometown?"

"What kind of relationship does it have with these ability users?"

On the screen connected to Information Analysis Team, pictures of several Special Purity Department researchers appeared. At this time, someone had quickly browsed various documents and gave their own analysis. "As early as after the collapse of the Satellite City No. 4 True Hometown mysterious organization, interrogations and in-depth investigations of their organization members have been ongoing. The key core is: How did the missionaries appear?"

"Their ability user can drive two Mental Monster to preach and harm people. However, the report provided by the individual soldier also shows that the ability user's own ability cannot create Mental Monster out of thin air. So, where did these two monsters come from?"

"..."

"In the previous analysis, someone put forward a conjecture. The appearance and disappearance of the two Mental Monster went against some common sense. So, is there really another world, and these Mental Monster were summoned from that world?"

"Nonsense, what about another world? Do you think you are writing a novel?"

"... So, his ability is to create Mental Monster?"

"..."

"Professor Bai's signal is coming in."

At this time, a screen flashed several times on the surrounding wall, revealing the image of Professor Bai. It seemed that he was still in the underground train. Next to him, Mr. Su could be seen cursing and banging the table.

"I've heard your analysis, but I think there are still inaccuracies."

Professor Bai frowned, not letting himself be affected by him. "The ability to create Mental Monster exists, but those with abilities who can create Mental Monster have very high spiritual levels, at least one thousand or more. In addition, it is difficult for the Mental Monster created by them to appear very far away from the ability user, especially more than a month in advance."

"Furthermore, the S-level ability user of Sea Nation does not have a high initial mental capacity, and does not meet the conditions for creating Mental Monster."

"..."

As he spoke, Professor Bai also raised his knuckles, lightly tapped his brow, and said:

"On the contrary, I think the idea of another world is somewhat interesting. But I don't think it is really a world."

"This other world is just a metaphysical concept!"

"Previous investigations into the Satellite City No. 4 mysterious organization revealed that one of the two driven missionaries has the ability to induce negative emotions in people. This seems to be a natural instinct. So, is it possible that they originally come from the depths of emotions?"

"The so-called 'True Hometown' is actually a spiritual world, similar to the collective subconscious ocean?"

"..."

There was a tense silence in the information analysis department.

Mixed with the sounds of "swish", "swish" and "swish" when writing or looking up information.

Professor Chen was the first to react and said, "If we follow this logic, then the ability of this S-level ability user is summoning?"

"These Mental Monster were all summoned by him?"

"Just like a person with Ghost-type ability can live in the brains of different people without a body, then there may be some Mental Monster who live in the human spiritual realm like him, or even in a deeper place."

"Is this the place where S-level ability users are connected?"

As he spoke, he turned the pen in his hand into a flower, which looked more dexterous than Spider-type, and quickly concluded:

"Combining this phenomenon with the previous investigation of True Hometown, and the changes in mutants related to rituals such as wishing and cursing, can we make the following speculation:"

"This Sea Nation S-level ability user, or in other words, all ability users related to 'True Hometown'."

"Their ability is to use themselves to create a rift?"

"It is not yet known where the crack is connected, but it is certain that Mental Monster exists where it connects."

"There is definitely more than one Mental Monster living here, so there is not only one specific pollution logic pattern."

"..."

Many people nodded along. If it was not creation, then it was only summoning.

An ability user who can summon so many Mental Monster does indeed meet the S-level evaluation.

"It's not that simple."

Professor Bai still shook his head and said, "If it is just a summons, then these Mental Monster should be driven by him and rush towards different purposes. Why is it that what is observed now is that all monsters collectively show the characteristic of approaching him?"

"In addition, we need to pay attention to a problem. This S-class ability user is dead."

"In other words, everything now is not subjectively controlled by him, and the dead summoner cannot affect Mental Monster."

"Third, if he summoned it, then his spiritual level should weaken accordingly, not increase."

"..."

The guess that was closest to the truth was rejected, and all the personnel in the information department inevitably felt a sense of frustration.

But they still cheered up, suppressed their panic, and continued to analyze and summarize.

"These conclusions Mental Monster come from something similar to the collective subconscious ocean and can be kept for now..."

"The possibility that Mental Monster was summoned by an S-level ability user has been ruled out for the time being..."

"So, where do these Mental Monster come from, and what is their connection with Sea Nation ability users?"

"..."

"There is another possibility."

Professor Bai on the screen spoke at this time, "There is no direct connection between the Mental Monster grown on the mutants in the city and the Sea Nation S-level ability user. This is another Another attack method. Sea Nation probably mastered some of the Mental Monster operating methods of 'True Hometown' and used it to launch an attack on Qinggang City."

"It is very possible that the previous wishing and curse events were to point out a direction for these Mental Monster..."

"... or it could be understood that wishes and curses are all bait to attract these Mental Monster."

"... It's like spreading bait on the sea surface, attracting fish under the sea to gather here."

"..."

As he spoke, his speaking speed became faster and his thoughts suddenly became clear, "Then, it was when the S-level ability user Sea Nation showed his effect. The attracted Mental Monster only created a group of mutants and did not really appear in the city. However, when this S-level ability user used his own death to display his ability, these monsters were induced to appear."

"It's like a school of fish under the sea surface, collectively rising to the surface."

"Mental Monster, who is scattered among the crowd, once it appears, will completely turn our Qinggang City into Ghost Domain!"

"And this S-level ability user can also use this chaos to achieve an infinite increase in his spiritual level..."

"... These are two battle plans that cooperate with each other and cover up each other!"

"..."

Listening to Professor Bai's analysis, everyone was stunned for a moment.

Immediately, some people began to reverse his logic, while others began to seek more evidence to see if it was consistent.

Researchers after Crimson Moon have long accepted a principle: no matter how outrageous the guess is, as long as a clear logical chain can be drawn out and it is consistent with all the collected data and phenomena, then the guess represents the truth.

"Five minutes for verification and cleaning suggestions."

Mr. Su came to the screen and pushed Professor Bai to the side. His face was calm, but he had stopped swearing and had resumed his usual gentleness. "Now the ability users and special team members everywhere are waiting for your analysis results."

Continuously adding updates during the climax... Hey, in short, does it mean continuous...?
