This is what a ride feels like.

The wind blows as much as it wants and the car runs as fast as it can.

In a world that has just rained, even the sunshine seems to have some unique moisture.

Winter is almost over, and some greenery can be vaguely seen among the withered and yellow grass.

The sound of tires running over dry asphalt and gravel is so joyful.

The girl next to her was smiling as if she had never been so free in her life.

Even the crowd that was growing and chasing after her like crazy seemed a little more cute at this time.

Noisy, shouting, and even crying.

The darkness rushed over from all directions, crackling like a group of fish struggling on the shore, swaying their lives to the fullest.

Lu Xin was driving the car and running wildly on the road. It felt like he was walking in a celebration where everyone was cheering. The little princess beside him was being worshiped by everyone. He was just a driver, driving her through the lively crowd.

How wonderful it all is.

If he hadn't known that those people would rush up and tear the little princess into pieces.

The strategy obviously succeeded.

Lu Xin feels that maybe he has underestimated the charm of Kid.

My plan is to take Kid, show its face in front of various armed forces, and attract them.

After all, I have a modified car with good performance, and Kid can fly, so I don't have to worry about falling into the crowd. Even if there is an accident, with the ability of my family and Kid's own ability, it should be able to resolve it easily.

This plan will be successful no matter how you look at it.

These armed forces surrounding Happy Town should be easily diverted away.

At the very least, it can tear a very big hole.

But when he actually put it into practice, he discovered that it didn't have to be so troublesome.

In front of the first armed force, Kid appeared for thirty seconds, and then Lu Xin accelerated away and rushed to the second armed camp, because at this time, the armed forces at the first place were chasing after them crazily. Come, so in front of the second camp, Lu Xin and the others actually didn't have much time. Kid was almost dragged here by Lu Xin, and they stayed for less than ten seconds before leaving.

However, the armed men at the second location were still attracted by Kid and frantically chased after the car.

Then the third place, the fourth place...

Lu Xin was surprised to find that he didn't seem to need to strictly abide by the time agreed upon with Chen Jing and the others in advance.

He did not need Kid to show his face everywhere he went, and he had to strictly abide by the time. He could clearly feel that at this time, Kid seemed to be emitting a force field around him, and this force field was becoming more and more powerful. As long as the modified vehicle reached a certain range of the armed camp, Kid's influence would have covered these people and attracted them.

A more accurate description is that Lu Xin thought it was fishing at first, but in fact he was fishing with a net.

The indescribable force field has covered an area of no less than three kilometers, and is still expanding.

Lu Xin felt like he was carrying a magnet, while the surroundings were filled with endless magnetic powder.

Behind the car, more and more people were chasing.

At first Lu Xin was worried that they would not be able to catch up. After being left too far behind, they would regain consciousness and return to the edge of Happy Town.

But he didn't expect that their enthusiasm far exceeded his imagination.

Judging from the observations that Chen Jing passed to him in the channel, there are countless people who have been dumped and have no trace of them, and they are also chasing after him desperately. It's like, even though they can no longer see Kid, they are still being affected and can track her instinctively.

"This should be a power close to the field..."

Lu Xin thought to himself, and gradually became a little surprised as he carefully sensed the changes in spiritual power around him.

Qinggang guessed well. Kid's ability has indeed been improving.

In the past, she still needed others to see her and be attracted to her.

But now, she can already spread her abilities through some kind of field-like influence.

"Her qualities are very powerful..."

Mom sat in the back seat of the modified car. Next to her was her younger sister, squatting on the side and looking resentfully in front of her.

It seems that my sister feels that she should be the one sitting in front and having so much fun with Lu Xin at this time.

"Yes, I can feel that the spiritual radiation around me is getting stronger and stronger, and the scope of influence is also expanding."

Lu Xin nodded and said, "Is this all caused by her ability?"

"She hasn't used her powers yet."

Mom smiled and said, "It's just her characteristics. Wherever she is, it doesn't matter who the spiritual power belongs to."

Lu Xin was slightly stunned, slightly pursed his lips, and turned to look at Kid.

She understood what Mom said and suddenly realized a problem.

In fact, Qinggang has misunderstood her all along.

The experts and professors in Qinggang always believed that Kid could only stay under heavy protection because he could not learn to control his abilities. The focus of the work has always been to teach Kid to learn to control her power.

But in fact, Kid has been working very hard to control himself and suppress his abilities.

The reason why she is showing more and more powerful negative effects is because her growth rate exceeds the limit of her control.

Her ability is too strong and the negative impact it causes is too great.

Lu Xin, who realized this problem, suddenly felt some sympathy for this girl in his heart.

She has actually been working very hard...

It's just that others can't understand her and think she's stupid.

No wonder she was so happy when he let her go.

It's really because she usually suppresses herself too hard.

"Huh..."

Lu Xin, who originally wanted to remind Kid to control her abilities a little to make the situation easier to grasp, suddenly stopped talking. He just raised the gear, stepped on the accelerator, and let the modified car run wildly on the road like a roaring beast.

It's a rare opportunity to relax, so let her take a nice spin.

"How can we stop her from being so tired now?"

Seeing the girl next to her smiling happily as she stood on the passenger seat, Lu Xin glanced at Mom in the rearview mirror.

He still remembered that one of his tasks was to "accompany" Kid.

He always works hard to understand and complete his tasks.

For example, this companionship, to what extent is it considered complete?

Even if Lu Xin was not that professional before and could not understand it, now after studying Seven Steps Theory, he has mastered some professional knowledge that is no less than that of others. I know that at this time, Qinggang should be most concerned about which aspect of Kid.

Stablize.

If a person with abilities like Kid could freely control his own power and live and work like a normal person, then everyone would be happy to see it, right?

Especially, Lu Xin, who saw her happy side, suddenly understood this girl's heart.

In fact, she doesn't like to suppress herself like this all the time.

She also wanted to put aside all her worries and act like a normal person.

Of course, it is obviously a huge problem to make a person who is between Third Stage and the first stage normal.

The phenomenon I have observed now is enough to prove that Kid's ability seems to be terrifying to a certain extent.

Around her, a field with no boundaries can be formed.

Everyone in the field will become crazy because of her existence.

"You care about her?"

Mom did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically with a smile.

"How can there be..."

Lu Xin quickly denied it and explained, "We are simply colleagues."

"In terms of responsibilities, she is still my team member."

"..."

Mom smiled and did not expose it. He just chuckled and said, "I told you before that the seven-step theory was analyzed and constructed by those researchers for the convenience of people's understanding. It is considered a theoretical model, but the actual development does not necessarily follow the step-by-step process from low to high. Some people may be born in a higher position due to mutation?"

"Of course, there are gains and losses. When you are born in a higher position, you are destined to complete something."

"..."

Lu Xin keenly captured some information from Mom's words, and hurriedly said, "In other words, she can be cured?"

"What is it that she should complete?"

"..."

Mom glanced at Lu Xin with a smile, stretched slightly and said, "How could you come over and ask me such a question?"

"You have grown up and joined such a special department. You have access to so many professional people and professional materials, and you study very seriously. I am just a housewife. How can I get involved in your professional things..."

"..."

Lu Xin's eyes turned resentful.

Mom said this very smoothly without even blushing.

Forget it for now, go back and share the theory of the seven steps and the information you can see in the club with the experts in Qinggang. They should be able to understand more than themselves, and they can help this girl better.

As for now, work is the most important thing.

Lu Xin took a deep breath and looked towards the vast wilderness.

He could clearly feel that the force field on Kid was unfolding and spreading outward.

Through this force field, there is absolute certainty that these armed forces surrounding Happy Town can be diverted away.

After attracting all of them to this wilderness, and letting Kid isolate her ability, they can get rid of these people. By then, these crazy armed men will be evenly distributed in this wilderness.

By that time, whatever Technological Church was doing to attract these people, the plan had been ruined.

Also at this time, there was a temporary camp in an abandoned village very close to Happy Town.

In the courtyard covered with dried ivy, the priest was sitting quietly.

The silver box was placed next to his hand, and a thick notebook was thrown on a stone table next to it.

On the laptop screen, you can see many pictures, many of which are empty tents.

"So, Great Knight Shenze and the Great Knight Rose have fallen into the arms of True God?"

The pastor didn't look at the screen on his laptop. He just carefully held his headphones and repeated what he heard.

"They have only two endings, one is to fall into the arms of True God, the other is worse than death."

On the channel, a man's voice came out, looking very calm. "According to my estimation, it is more likely to be the latter."

"Because according to Great Knight Shenze's last message, he had planned to detonate the spiritual bomb to detonate the Flower of Death, causing a regional shock to help the Archbishop complete his mission better, but as a result, this shock was not detected."

"This most likely means that someone blocked Great Knight Shenze's final plan."

"You and I both understand that Great Knight Shenze falls into the hands of the enemy. No matter what the enemy does to him or not, the result will be..."

"... Unimaginable!"

"..."

The pastor didn't answer for a long time, just took a deep breath.

"It doesn't matter, we are all ready to devote ourselves to True God."

The man on the channel seemed to understand the pastor's temper and slowly persuaded him.

A smile suddenly appeared on the pastor's face and he said, "After the mission is over, I will go to Qinggang."

The man knew what such a casual sentence meant. After a moment of silence, he smiled and said, "Then I will accompany you there."

The pastor was noncommittal and just laughed softly.

Such a light laughter makes people subconsciously feel chills on their backs.

The man in the channel changed the subject:

"After realizing what happened to Great Knight Shenze and Rose Knight, the Technopriest and I stopped trying to repair the field. Instead, we planned to enter the restricted area to meet the Archbishop. But in this way, you are the only one left outside. How is the second plan going?"

"..."

When the pastor saw this issue mentioned, he glanced at the computer screen and said, "It was completely destroyed."

The man's voice on the channel suddenly fell silent, as if he did not expect this result.

"Qinggang is different now from before, much more courageous."

The pastor smiled nonchalantly and said, "I worked hard for several days to recruit the church members, but in less than half an hour, they were already led away to the wilderness. I didn't even see their face, and I didn't have the ability to stop them..."

"..."

"Huh?"

The man's voice on the channel was a little heavy. "What kind of person can resist the power of Box of Truth?"

The pastor smiled nonchalantly and said, "The truth is vulnerable to worldly desires."

The man in the channel was silent for a moment, suddenly thought of something, and said slightly surprised:

"Being able to have such a large impact in a short period of time..."

Suddenly he thought of something and said in disbelief, "Did Qinggang release that delicious cake?"

"..."

The pastor couldn't help but smile on his face, "That's why I said that Qinggang has become more courageous now."

"In our previous understanding, High Wall City, including Qinggang, only acted cautiously, tried a little bit, and relied on worthless threats to maintain their poor dignity. But now, Qinggang has given us a surprise..."

"They actually sent their most precious ability users to confront us head-on."

"..."

"Qinggang is indeed different from before..."

After a moment of silence, the man in the channel also hurriedly said, "But since they have done this, it means that Qinggang is ready to confront us head-on. I suggest you give up your second plan immediately and come to meet us."

"..."

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

The priest spoke softly and said, "The second plan that the archbishop asked me to prepare has two functions."

"There is no need to consider the purpose of deploying an isolation layer through the second plan. It has already failed since Qinggang was willing to use that ability user. As for the second purpose, we have already achieved it, so there is nothing to worry about."

"What I'm thinking about now is, since Qinggang has such courage, how can we let them down?"

"..."

The man's voice on the channel said, "Don't take risks."

"They're the ones taking the risk."

The priest's voice turned cold and he said, "Use large-scale pollution capabilities to destroy our second plan."

"Taking head-on measures to confront our church..."

"I really want to know what clever trick Qinggang came up with to have such confidence..."

Rounding it all off, it's another 10,000 today, so tiring.
