Stop, close your eyes, then open them.

They saw that the surroundings were still bustling, with cars and horses passing by, and pedestrians talking and laughing, passing by them like water.

Someone gently brushed Lu Xin's shoulder, and the touch felt real.

Lu Xin and the other three looked at each other and saw something strange in each other's eyes.

This was originally a dilapidated and abandoned city, but suddenly it became bustling with traffic and prosperous.

Pedestrians passed by like running water. Some were selecting items in the store, some were chasing after each other with laughter, some were choosing ice cream flavors, and some were quarreling while spitting on the spit. On a tall building in the distance, on a tall LED screen, a blonde with bright and plump red lips was holding lipstick and pouting her sexy lips at the people in this city.

"Psychic radiation detectors indicate that we are exposed to intense psychic radiation."

Chen Jing looked down at his watch, frowned slightly, and looked at the busy street. "But there is no obvious flaw."

Gecko took a deep breath, clenched the gun in his hand, and said, "I can see a lot of details, and they all look very real. For example, the little girls walking on the street can even see the marks of their little vests under their shirts... Several of the long-haired ones have their hair tied in. It seems that they are carrying a brand-name bag, but there is an extra letter in the LOGO..."

"Hiss... I can even smell the sweet and cloying perfume on their bodies..."

"Holy crap, who else can achieve such a real illusion except me, the person who has studied it most deeply in pre-civilization times?"

"..."

Lu Xin and Chen Jing couldn't help but glance at him.

Although it doesn't sound very serious, Gecko also proved that this illusion mirror is extremely real?

He also felt that he should say something, thought about it carefully, and said, "There is no Mental Monster here."

Gecko and Chen Jing turned to look at him at the same time.

They naturally believed in Lu Xin, but because of this, their faces became even more ugly.

In fact, they all know very clearly that this street must be fake.

However, no matter how you look at it, the various people around you are very alive and have their own lives.

This is where the problem arises.

How to prove this is fake?

"Definitely we are now contaminated."

Chen Jing stared at the surrounding environment and spoke slowly, "Pollution characteristics, all the surrounding scenery and sights are abnormally distorted, and it is impossible to distinguish true from false by sight alone. Pollution Source The head is unknown. The logic of the pollution is unknown. Whether there are other dangers is unknown."

Lu Xin and Gecko also exhaled lightly.

Their nerves were slightly tense.

Falseness represents the unknown reality. Their vision was filled with this false street scene, as if they were completely blindfolded. This gave them a feeling of difficulty.

"There are two ways, one is to keep moving forward, the other is to completely eliminate them..."

Gecko was silent for a while before speaking in a low voice, "Team leader, what should we do?"

Lu Xin also turned to look at Chen Jing.

Chen Jing After all, they are the team leader of Qinggang Special Operations Team. This team leader is not called that for nothing.

They all have great trust in Chen Jing.

"It's not going to work to move forward."

Chen Jing shook his head slightly and said, "Maybe everyone on this street is a person who has been severely polluted. Maybe they have weapons hidden under their clothes or in their bags. Maybe the living person we see at this time is actually a monster. Or, in other words, they have picked up their guns and pointed them at us, but what we see is him smiling at us..."

Gecko was silent for a moment, and his expression turned serious. "Can it be solved by attacking?"

Chen Jing glanced at Lu Xin from the corner of his eye, and then shook his head slightly.

"As you said, everything we saw is fake, so when you kill these people..."

"How can we ensure that the ones we kill are not ordinary people?"

"..."

Gecko was startled for a moment, then tightened the corners of his mouth and stopped speaking.

Lu Xin understood what Chen Jing meant. They all still remembered that when they entered the city just now, they saw a ruins, and there were many refugees living in this ruins. If they are now controlled by illusions and start killing people desperately, then it is very likely that after they kill all the people they see in front of them, they suddenly wake up and see corpses on the ground.

The bodies of innocent people.

So...

What to do now?

"Captain, what is this?"

At the same time, Lu Xin and three other people were not the only ones trapped on the streets of the bustling city.

The ability users of Central City have also been divided into various teams and entered Buffalo City. Their speeds may be fast or slow, but step by step, through different methods, they ruled out the possibility that the laboratory existed in the edge area of Buffalo City, and arrived at the midtown part. And at different points in time, I saw this busy street and also saw lifelike pedestrians.

Coming in from the east of the city was a middle-aged man in a white coat. He was accompanied by two people, but he was wearing a blue and white striped hospital gown. He looked like a doctor who had escaped from a mental hospital with two patients and was happily shopping.

"Ask the captain if you have anything."

The doctor glanced around with a solemn expression, then put his right hand in front of his ear:

"Squad 7 is calling headquarters, can you hear me?"

I called twice in a row, but got no response, and there was only a rustle in the channel.

When this bustling city appeared, the signal had also been blocked.

The doctor took a deep breath and said, "The mental radiation is severe, the surrounding pedestrians do not conform to the characteristics of the times, and the street scenery is seriously inconsistent... After these details, we can draw a conclusion." He looked at the surroundings seriously. "We are in a false world."

The two mental patients looked at the doctor as if they were looking at a mental patient.

"Are you still reasoning?"

"You can see it if you have the brain, okay?"

To the north of the city, there was a burly man wearing a black combat uniform, followed by two colorful team members. He stood in the middle of the road, looking at both sides of the road, all kinds of pedestrians looking at him with strange eyes. He also heard the cars on the opposite side of him that were honking their horns irritably because he was blocking the way. He just observed quietly.

Among his two team members, one is a clown with thick white powder on his face and bright red lips, holding a red balloon in his hand.

One is a man wearing a tuxedo, white shirt, and black top hat.

They all stayed on the side of the road obediently, looking at the captain with smiles, not worried at all.

In the west direction of the city, there was also a group of people who entered Buffalo City through a different street from Lu Xin and Chen Jing. Because when they first entered the city, they found traces of people with abilities exerting influence on ordinary people, so they spent a little time to investigate, so they took a step slower. At this time, we had just arrived at the location close to the outer city and the middle city.

"It's so annoying..."

Coming in from the south of the city were Xia Chong and her two team members.

At this time, she pulled off her headphones expressionlessly, frowned slightly, and looked at the lively streets around her that seemed to be similar to Central City and Main City. Then she stepped on her calves with a pair of thick black military boots, suddenly kicked hard, jumped directly onto the engine of a car, and squatted down.

Her move attracted many surprised looks from around her, as if they were looking at a little girl who was going crazy.

"For strange actions, the reaction will be the same as that of real people..."

Xia Chong was thinking to himself and looked intently at a person on the street. The man was a slutty young man who looked a bit unruly. But when Xia Chong's eyes caught his sight, he just glanced back subconsciously and then withdrew his gaze. He was still laughing, drinking wine at the door of the store with several slutty young men dressed similarly.

"But the reaction was very weak, otherwise, he would have asked me what I was looking for now..."

Xia Chong said to himself, and then slowly came to the conclusion. "This should be the parasitic product stolen by Research Institute..."

"2-48-Memoir Videotape."

As she spoke, she swiped her fingers on the tablet a few times and found a piece of information.

2—48—Memoir Videotape

Source: After the Crimson Moon incident incident, an ordinary videotape found by the search team recorded the prosperous street scene of the city.

Function: When the videotape is played, it will affect the surrounding mirrors and synchronize with the content of the videotape.

Note: It is known from experiments that the maximum radiation area is 50 square kilometers (can continue to increase)

Characteristics of pollution: After entering the scope of influence of Memoir Videotape, one will gradually forget the real world and remain in the memories recorded by the videotape. The mental power will gradually be consumed and swallowed by the videotape. The Deep Polluter will remain in fond memories forever.

Origin: No accurate answer.

Speculation: Someone once repeatedly watched this video tape that recorded the street scenes of the civilized era, and developed a strong feeling of nostalgia. A powerful and mutated spiritual power resided in the video tape, forming special abilities.

Records: Twenty-seven years after the occurrence of Crimson Moon incident, it was stolen from Crimson Moon Research Institute and its whereabouts are unknown since then.

Solution:

1. Find the video tape in the fake city street scene and cut off the power

2. Video tapes cannot project targeted images on people. If you leave the radiation range, you can avoid the impact.

"Inform them!"

Xia Chong took one last look at the city and determined that it was related to 2-748. He pulled the information into the attachment and sent it to someone who was also in this city. However, after the email was sent, there was no notification that it had been delivered.

"The signal has been blocked, let's see if they can remember it themselves!"

"When you encounter a second-level special parasitic product, you can easily solve it if you know what it is."

"I don't know what's going on, but it will be a big trouble..."

"Wish them good luck!"

Xia Chong put the tablet back directly and said to the two team members, "Come to me, and I will take you away."
