The people around, whether it was Chen Jing, Gecko, or Central City's team of ability users, were all shocked by the scene in front of them. They watched Lu Xin walk forward and gently hugged the extremely dangerous little girl, their hearts seemed to jump into their throats.

An indescribable strange feeling suddenly surged into everyone's hearts.

Xia Chong turned around fiercely and cast a look at Chen Jing.

Chen Jing's expression at this time was not much better than hers.

For this time, when Lu Xin said she was coming to visit relatives, she originally just regarded it as a reason.

Because she had roughly guessed the purpose of Lu Xin's visit this time, and also understood from Lu Xin's silent attitude how he would treat this "relative". Therefore, she essentially still regarded it as a mission.

She also talked about visiting relatives, just to ease Lu Xin's mood and ease the seriousness of the situation.

But until then, when she saw Lu Xin hugging the little girl, she suddenly realized.

Lu Xin The words "visiting relatives" are actually not true and completely false.

Not only the people around are looking at Lu Xin, but the sister behind her is also looking at Lu Xin.

She was worried at first, but when she saw Lu Xin hugging the little girl, her eyes suddenly turned red.

For the first time, there was no joking or naughty expression on her face, only normal and sad expression.

At Lu Xin's feet, the shadow that merged with the darkness was silent at this time, just observing Lu Xin quietly.

However, no one knows what Shadow is thinking.

In the corner on one side, a skinless puppy came out and approached Lu Xin with great admiration.

"Big..."

The little girl who was hugged tightly by Lu Xin had already grasped the table knife inserted into the cement wall, but Lu Xin's hug made her slightly startled, as if she had forgotten to pull out the knife.

Her little face was still full of surprise and confusion, and even the hostility deep in her heart had not dissipated, but she subconsciously did not struggle and seemed to want to stay in this embrace.

After an unknown amount of time, she suddenly opened her mouth slowly.

Because she hadn't spoken for a long time, her voice was hard and vague, and her words were very weak.

"Big... big monster... thing!"

With her little head in Lu Xin's ear, she slowly and forcefully said these three words.

Lu Xin, who hugged the girl hard, trembled slightly.

After meeting each other for so many years, this is the impression I left on the youngest child.

Does she think she is a big monster?

For a moment, he felt that the whole world was empty.

It would be nice if all the pain in the world was only physical.

Some kind of consciousness arises.

Lu Xin felt as if his heart was being pinched hard by a big invisible hand, as if something was missing forever. He had forgotten about it, but suddenly, the memory of this aspect came back to his mind, and the feeling was so vivid.

The feeling that a piece is missing has not been healed by time, but has become even more hollow.

He wanted to roar like a beast, beat his head hard, and even wanted to dig out his heart to check if the feeling of missing a piece of his heart was real, but he knew very well that it was useless to do any of these things.

When some kind of strong and vivid pain strikes, the only thing that can be done is to endure it silently and get through it.

The people around him began to retreat.

They felt a strong and deep emotion from Lu Xin, which seemed to be able to drown many people.

"Woof..."

The skinless puppy suddenly rushed up and bit Lu Xin on the calf.

And he closed his eyes, never let go, and lived and died as he pleased.

"Brother, she has left..."

After most of the strong emotions in Lu Xin disappeared, my sister walked up carefully.

She gently tugged at the corner of Lu Xin's clothes and just looked at his face.

Lu Xin After a long time, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked down and saw that the girl in his arms was gone.

What he is holding now is something similar to crystals and solidified flesh and blood.

This is the same material as those people encountered in that yard who can use the power of the Rubik's Cube to transform into Gecko.

Little Nineteen ran away.

The woman he faced was just a puppet.

She was still so afraid of herself.

After all, he is a "big monster" in her eyes.

"Don't blame her."

Lu Xin After a long time, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief, then stood up, raised his foot and kicked the skinless puppy away a few meters away. His mood seemed to have been greatly relieved. He turned around and saw his sister with red eyes. He said softly, "She is very scared."

My sister nodded vigorously and whispered, "She has always been the timid one."

Lu Xin nodded and looked forward.

"He... who is he?"

It was only then that the few people around felt that the pressure was relieved.

For a moment, they looked at the Lu Xin holding the little girl in the white skirt, and even regarded him as a Mental Pollution bomb of unknown magnitude.

In the eyes of a person with abilities, feeling the terrifying emotions erupting from Lu Xin at that time is no different from ordinary people seeing a 100 kilogram TNT explosive right in front of them, and the fuse has been burning happily.

But fortunately, the terrible emotion in Lu Xin slowly disappeared.

They all have a sense of joy like the aftermath of a disaster.

However, he was only slightly relieved.

The two teams of Central City ability users who had just arrived turned serious and looked towards Xia Chong.

In their eyes, Lu Xin is so terrifying that it even exceeds the importance they attach to the mission.

"Come from Qinggang."

Xia Chong raised his head and glanced at Lu Xin, his thoughts seemed very complicated.

But she pondered for a moment and only gave such an ordinary explanation.

"Qinggang also sent people in?"

The captains of the two teams looked at each other, looked at Lu Xin, and said, "It's so scary... what are you doing here?"

Lu Xin didn't seem to hear their words and didn't answer. He just looked up at the building in front of him.

The captains of these two teams did not dare to ask again for a while.

"We came here with him to visit relatives."

At this time, Chen Jing took the initiative to take his question, stood up slowly, glanced at everyone present, and said, "It seems that Black Table is not as easy to deal with as you thought. The casualties this time should not be in your plan, right?"

"If you continue to go to the laboratory, you may encounter more dangerous things. I think..."

"Should we prepare to join forces in advance?"

"After all, it would be the most foolish to join forces at the most desperate moment."

"..."

Several teams looked at each other, and the man in a fine suit whispered, "Captain Li is really dead?"

Xia Chong nodded expressionlessly. "Dead, there are two of his team members, two of my team members, and one of the doctor's team members. Of the twelve people we explored head-on, six of them are dead by this time, and more than half of them were casualties."

"Crack!"

The mood of everyone present instantly became a little depressed.

The lady wearing a strong Gothic style suddenly gritted her teeth and shook the whip in her hand hard.

"He... is indeed dead."

The man in a fine suit was silent for a while, then sighed in a low voice, "This guy who always arranges the pension issue first every time he cleans the large Pollution Source, and always tells us that many people die every day, so it is not surprising that it is our turn to die, finally died. Fortunately, this time, he also arranged the pension issue in advance as before."

His words didn't sound like grief, they even sounded like ridicule.

But his face looked gloomy as if water was oozing out, and his palms seemed to be shaking uncontrollably.

"Since Captain Li is dead, then..."

The gothic lady was silent for a while, and then suddenly looked up at Xia Chong:

"According to our level, you should be the temporary commander-in-chief. Can you survive your current injury?"

As she spoke, she looked at the doctor and frowned slightly.

Obviously, if Xia Chong has to withdraw from the cleanup mission, the doctor should be in charge.

That's obviously a situation no one wants to see.

"I have no problem."

Xia Chong took a deep breath and looked up at the people around him. He was small in stature, but his aura was unusually large when he spoke. He said in a deep voice, "Now I will temporarily serve as the commander-in-chief. It has been confirmed that the laboratory is nearby, so there is no need to explore separately. The remaining people gathered together and formed a team... Our counterparts in Qinggang will act with us from now on, and."

She suddenly turned her head and glanced at Lu Xin, and said four words: "... Information sharing!"

"..."

Chen Jing frowned slightly and looked towards Xia Chong.

She knew the weight of the last four words Xia Chong.

"Don't say anything else. Now in this city, I have the right to make all decisions."

Xia Chong interrupted Chen Jing and said, "Even if you are really here to visit relatives, I will temporarily recruit you now. Because the situation is urgent and we belong to Central City, according to regulations, we have the power to temporarily recruit Qinggang's action team."

After Chen Jing heard this, he understood that Xia Chong would carry all possible consequences on his back.

She smiled and said, "Okay, Captain Xia Chong."

The others didn't have any objections. At this time, their faces were calm and they looked at the building in front of them.

"I need a day off."

But at this moment, Lu Xin suddenly spoke softly.

The others were suddenly startled and turned to look at him.

"I am currently on leave and have some very important personal matters to resolve."

Lu Xin spoke calmly, which made Central City's ability users feel very surprised. The Qinggang ability user in front of them, who spoke calmly and had a natural attitude, looked completely different from the person who just held the little girl and had strong mental fluctuations in his body.

When he spoke, he seemed to have made a decision, with no expression on his face. "So I won't act with you."

"You..."

Xia Chong suddenly turned his head to look at him, wondering if he was using this excuse to express something.

She just said, "It will be very dangerous for you to act alone."

Lu Xin glanced at her quietly and said, "If you act together with me, it will be very dangerous."

"..."

The expressions of Central City's ability users all became a little weird.

Every proud capable person would not like to hear such words. However, thinking of the ghostly little girl Lu Xin had scared away just now, and how terrifying waves emitted from her body when he hugged her, no one refuted.

Xia Chong was silent for a moment, and then she turned to look at Chen Jing.

Chen Jing At this time, he nodded gently to her and said, "He is a trustworthy person, and the data does not lie."

I don't know if her words are explaining to Xia Chong, or if she has other meanings.

Xia Chong understood the meaning of Chen Jing in a very short period of time, looked directly at Lu Xin, and said, "Where are you going?"

Lu Xin was silent for a while, smiled at them, and said, "I'm going to see my relatives."

"You should also be careful."

With that said, he picked up his backpack and walked towards the building in front of him.

He passed the main entrance and walked directly into the building.

Behind him, his sister jogged a few steps, followed him, and held his hand.

The shadow became normal, hidden in the darkness.

The skinless puppy, who had been kicked a few meters away by him just now and was lying on the ground with his tongue hanging out, was stunned for a while and suddenly reacted. Seeing that Lu Xin had gone far away, it jumped up in a hurry, wagging its tail, and chased after it in a hurry.

"..."

The Central City ability user who was left outside had a somewhat surprised expression.

They each judged the importance of this building through different directions, and their experiences along the way also proved to them the danger of this ruined city. Now entering this most dangerous area, there is no doubt that they need to be most vigilant.

But this Qinggang ability user actually chose to enter from the front?

Especially, he is still alone.

"We'd better take a different route than him."

It wasn't until Lu Xin entered the building that Chen Jing breathed a sigh of relief and said to Xia Chong.

"Who is he?"

Xia Chong suddenly turned his head to look at Chen Jing and said, "Aren't you afraid that it will cause trouble if you just let him break in like this?"

"Also, why is he hugging that monster?"

"Why are his mental fluctuations so terrifying?"

"In addition, Zero Ability User is the latest project of Research Institute. Is he... is he Zero Ability User?"

"I can feel that his condition is unstable, so I won't ask him directly, but you must give me an explanation!"

"..."

"The question of who he is should not be asked in such an emergency."

Facing a series of questions from Xia Chong, Chen Jing seemed very relaxed. He shook his head and said, "I can't explain his specific situation to you. I can only tell you that he was not trained by Research Institute in Qinggang, but an ordinary mutant."

Many people around, including Xia Chong, instantly looked at Chen Jing as if I were a fool.

Chen Jing looked calm and continued to answer, "As for whether it will be bad, you don't have to worry."

"After all, he has dealt with many Special Pollution Events of various sizes in our Qinggang, with zero violation records, and the completion of tasks has reached the highest A+. In the entire Qinggang, only my performance list is slightly better than his."

The people around me felt even more deeply that Chen Jing was telling lies with his eyes open.

Xia Chong frowned, as if weighing something, but in the end he didn't ask anything.

She looked at the back of the building and said, "Let's go."
