It seems that I heard the frankness in Lu Xin's words, and Mom was in a very good mood.

A faint smile appeared on her face, and she raised her head and looked at the red cloaked Mental Monster:

"This man is very interesting. He is obviously alive, but he doesn't want to live. Maybe some people think that he wants to die because he is living in too much pain and wants to seek relief. But why can't it be understood that he wants to die in the first place?"

"Only by dying can he release his negative emotions, right?"

"..."

Lu Xin listened carefully to Mom's words and said thoughtfully, "I remember that in the previous training course, Han Bing told me that mental power is an active thing, and if he wants to die, it means that he is contrary to activeness? Then..."

"Is it possible that it is because of this feeling that it has the property of swallowing or attracting other people's spiritual power?"

"..."

In a certain information analysis department, everyone was listening quietly to the voice of Lu Xin echoing in the office.

Because Lu Xin was too close to Mental Monster in the red cloak at this time, the voice would sometimes become hoarse and unstable, but they still heard some of the words Lu Xin said casually as if he was chatting with someone.

The most important thing is that these words actually solved some of their doubts.

"The analysis of individual soldiers makes sense."

Professor Chen was the first to notice the value contained in Lu Xin's soliloquy that sounded a little abnormal to others, and said in a deep voice, "So, this dog is code-named Red Apostle Mental Monster, one of its abilities is to swallow the Mental Monster that is attracted to it, as well as the entire Qinggang City, and the mental power of all people who see it, then the solution is..."

"..."

"Solution..."

While Information Analysis Team was doing his best to analyze, Lu Xin was also thinking about this issue.

He raised his head and looked at the monster carefully.

When others can't see Mental Monster, he can see it.

The Mental Monster in front of you can be seen by everyone in the city.

However, when viewed from a distance, this Mental Monster looks like a human body that is a hundred meters tall. Even the red cloak on it looks extremely real, and there are even clear shadows and wrinkles in some places.

But now that we are closer, Lu Xin realizes that it is not an entity in the ordinary sense.

The Mental Monster in front of him, codenamed Red-robed Apostle, actually has silk threads on its body. These threads are stretched straight and spread out to the surroundings. They are so densely packed that I don't know how many millions of roots there are. All the threads spread out, but gathered here, divided according to different colors, so they gathered into the physical image that people in Qinggang saw from a distance.

It's like when you're extremely far away from a screen, the picture seems clear and discernible, but when you get closer, you can see individual pixels.

Those silk threads are the pixels of this monster.

Lu Xin can even see that one of the silk threads is connected to his body.

"Can you help me?"

Faced with this strange phenomenon, he turned directly to look at Mom.

"What does the family say about helping or not?"

Mom looked at Lu Xin with a smile and said gently, "But after solving this problem, other problems will appear..."

Lu Xin nodded and said with a smile, "Just solve the problems one by one."

"So clever."

Mom nodded with a smile, then elegantly reached into his satchel and took out a pair of small scissors.

She stretched out her hand in front of Lu Xin, and before the silk thread connecting him and Red-robed Apostle, she gently cut it with a "click".

Lu Xin obviously feels a little relaxed.

It was as if Red-robed Apostle had lost its mysterious appeal in his eyes.

"Huh..."

As if there was an invisible wind blowing, more red silk threads flew lightly and sprinkled towards Lu Xin.

Lu Xin took a step back and said to Mom, "It's not enough to just cut off one."

"Oh, you are quite impatient..."

Mom rolled his eyes at Lu Xin, and then walked forward calmly.

Lu Xin saw her walking to the edge of the building. Wearing a white dress, she looked elegant and charming under Crimson Moon.

It was also at this time that he saw a Mom appearing next to the flower pond downstairs.

She also held a small bag and stood at the monster's feet, looking up at it.

Not far away, on the bench above the square; to the east, the steel suspension bridge behind the monster;

To the north of the monster, under a big banyan tree in a garden; to the south, behind the floor-to-ceiling windows of an office...

Countless Mom appeared, distributed around the red cloaked monster, looking at the monster with a smile.

Then they moved in unison and took out a delicate pair of scissors from their satchel.

"Click..."

The weak and crisp sounds sounded at the same time, merged into one, and became a pleasant vibration.

There was a moment of silence in the world, as if the sound had been cut off.

"Huh..."

When the sound of scissors sounded at the same time, countless people in the whole city stood there blankly, looking at the red Mental Monster in trance. Suddenly they gasped for air, some fell down, and some squatted down suddenly.

They all had an expression of horror and fear on their faces, and at the same time they felt strangely tired.

When I looked up again, I found that the extremely clear Red-robed Apostle had disappeared...

In other words, it's not that it disappeared, but that I can no longer see it clearly. I can only feel that there is a large mass of dark red twisted air next to Donghai Hotel. Under the illumination of the round of Crimson Moon in the sky, strange ripples are constantly appearing.

"Can't see..."

"Red-robed Apostle disappeared..."

"..."

An excited shout soon rang out from the temporary command center near the quarantine area.

Even Chen Jing and others couldn't restrain their excitement and quickly glanced at Donghai Hotel's position.

Sure enough, they could no longer see the red figure.

Some people even thought the problem had been solved and almost jumped up with excitement.

"Please note that Red-robed Apostle has not been resolved..."

The voice of Professor Bai sounded in the ears of the excited people, "The single soldier just cut off the logical link between us and Red-robed Apostle. In fact, each of us was under the pollution of Red-robed Apostle just now, but it was difficult to find out. The only proof is that we can see what it looks like, but now the connection has been cut off, we are no longer polluted, and we can no longer see it..."

"Similarly, the increase in mental level of Mental Monster was interrupted."

"..."

As he spoke, he said to the secretary beside him, "Record this ability."

There was a special secretary beside him who quickly took notes.

"In addition..."

Then Professor Bai turned to look at Mr. Su and Minister Shen and said:

"Red Apostle's mental level increase is cut off, and there will inevitably be some other changes. The most terrifying thing is..."

"Those Mental Monster who are attracted to it will inevitably spread."

"..."

"Didi..."

As if to confirm his words, countless mental detectors rang at the same time.

Red light flashed, intertwining into a sea of red.

That was Mental Monster from the remaining mutants from various places in the city.

Although almost 70% of the mutants were found in advance, sent to the quarantine area, and then eliminated by Kid.

But there is still a lot left.

Most of them have already arrived in front of Red-robed Apostle and been swallowed by it.

The remaining half is still on the way.

They had been attracted to Red-robed Apostle. Although they would also pollute passers-by along the way, because the route was determined, there were traces to follow, making it easier to avoid. But when that connection was cut off, their movement also stopped...

If I had to describe it, it would be that they seemed to have a confused expression on their bodies.

At this time, the rules that attracted them have disappeared.

As a result, they were immediately driven by an instinct and spread out like a tide, rushing towards the city.

All the special team members who saw the alarms of the detectors around them clenched their guns tightly.

"Report, Mental Monster was concentrated at Donghai Hotel just now. The concentration process suddenly stopped. Now the monsters are spreading to the surroundings, most of them are spreading to the west. It seems... it seems that they are attracted by the population in the city!"

The observers shouted on the intercom.

"It's time to test our ability to clean up Pollution Source."

Mr. Su didn't panic, just nodded slightly.

Minister Shen immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and said loudly, "All Special Task Force, press on collectively, pull up a blockade within a range of three thousand meters around Donghai Hotel, allow the use of intermediate ion rifles, and never allow Pollution Source to spread beyond three thousand meters."

"In addition, all ability users should immediately enter the blockade area and clear out all Mental Monster."

"... Send those D-class personnel to the most dangerous place!"

"..."

Shua la la...

The whole city seemed to come alive at this time.

Teams of fully armed Special Task Force members lined up and rushed forward.

Then at a radius of three thousand meters from Donghai Hotel, he took off his backpack and pressed a certain button at the same time. Suddenly, blue arcs spread out from the backpack and intertwined with other backpacks.

This seems to be a blockade designed in advance. If you look at it from a high altitude, you will find that it forms a complete circle.

"You are so well prepared. Have you been ready for a long time?"

Professor Bai turned to look at Minister Shen, smiled and joked.

"Of course it has been prepared for a long time."

Minister Shen said with a cold face, "But it was originally prepared for those crazy... capable people who attend high-level talent meetings."

I will continue to refine it, and there are still two chapters, which will be released in the afternoon. I had trouble sleeping yesterday and got up late today, otherwise the original plan would have been to release them all at noon.
