Having already had dinner at the Guard Department, Lu Xin quietly returned to the bedroom.

The house their family lives in is a two-bedroom and one-living room. The house is not big, but it is very cozy. Lu Xin usually lives in the second bedroom, and Mom lives in the master bedroom. The father often stays in the kitchen, and the sister sleeps in the ceiling compartment near the door. However, she spends most of the time squatting on the sofa, holding the bear, and watching cartoons all night long.

In the small bedroom, Lu Xin sat down gently in his simple room with only a bed, a chair, and a desk, then turned on the desk lamp, and quietly looked through the documents and information about special pollution for a brief review.

At the same time, he was also waiting for Mom to come back. It was time to find a chance to chat with her.

Since the last factory incident, he has been wanting to have a good talk with Mom, but he has never found the opportunity.

Mom's whereabouts have been a bit strange recently. He often goes out and says he has made new friends.

"How to deal with secondary Pollution Source..."

Under the desk lamp that could only illuminate a small area, Lu Xin silently reviewed what he had learned today. "The influence produced by the secondary Pollution Source... executes the will on behalf of the main Pollution Source, affecting the surroundings The environment... is mostly a compensation for the lack of inner emotions of the subject Pollution Source... A few cases have confirmed that some Pollution Source subjects have the ability to split two or more subordinate Pollution Source..."

"The secondary Pollution Source abilities are mostly extensions of the main body, and no case of distinguishing the two abilities has been observed..."

"Processing method: eliminate the Pollution Source main body and find the primary and secondary Pollution Source logical chains..."

"Case of independent existence of secondary Pollution Source: not confirmed..."

"..."

Lu Xin is more concerned about this part of theoretical knowledge.

The last time he saw No. 039's special Pollution Source's secondary Pollution Source in the factory, he was more concerned because he wanted to know if this situation could also explain his current problems to some extent.

Although speaking of it, that class Pollution Source was quite different from myself on the surface.

For example, the secondary Pollution Source can be sensed and even "seen" directly.

But there is no way for his family to be detected.

For another example, the secondary Pollution Source looks a bit silly and cannot communicate...

As for my family, not only can I communicate with each other, but I also have quite a personality...

However, although the difference is quite big, after all, this is the Mental Mutation that I have seen that is closest to my own state.

So when he learned this aspect, he was particularly serious.

"Tread" "tread" "tread"

I don't know how long it took, but Lu Xin, who was studying hard, heard the sound of heels hitting the tile floor in the corridor.

He knew that Mom was back.

So, he stood up carefully and gently opened the bedroom door.

"Tread" "tread" "tread"

The sound of stampeding came to the door, and then the door opened slightly.

The room started to get brighter, that's when Mom turned on the light.

Wearing a white suit skirt, holding a satchel in her hand, wearing a red top hat, and with light makeup on her face, Mom looked elegant and charming under the dim light. She closed the door gently, took off her low-heeled shoes, and then put her satchel on the coffee table aside. While changing into slippers, she smiled at Lu Xin, "It's so late, why aren't you asleep yet?"

Lu Xin nodded and said, "Yes, I'm waiting for you."

"Ouch, sorry, I had too much fun..."

Mom smiled, put his hand on Lu Xin's shoulder, and walked toward the room together. "Miss Chen is a very good person!"

"Miss Chen..."

Lu Xin is very helpless about this.

Mom often makes some friends, but Lu Xin has never met them.

When the Beginning saw his family, there was a time when he really wanted to understand his situation. At that time, he once asked who these friends were and what they looked like, but Mom just smiled and replied, "I will introduce you to each other when I have the opportunity in the future." Then some time later, when Lu Xin remembered and asked again, Mom just sighed softly.

Anyway, I either went back to my hometown, or I haven't seen him for a long time...

Sitting at the dining table, Mom poured a glass of water and placed it next to Lu Xin.

She sat quietly on the side, rubbing her legs that looked like she was tired from shopping, and asked with a smile, "How are you doing at work recently?"

"Very good..."

Lu Xin nodded, remained silent for a moment, and said, "What happened at the Chengbei factory last time..."

"Oh, you still remember!"

Seeing Lu Xin's serious expression and attitude, Mom covered his mouth and laughed, saying, "I thought you had something important to do, silly boy. I was just passing by at the time and saw you and your sister standing there stupidly. A little girl couldn't do anything about it. You are so stupid and cute. How could you not ask me a question?"

"Passing by..."

This answer obviously does not satisfy Lu Xin.

He was silent for a while and then said softly, "You go out a lot lately. What are you doing?"

"Of course I'm going shopping..."

Mom replied with a smile, "Although I have to take care of my family, I also have to have my own life, right?"

Lu Xin was speechless by this reply.

In fact, sometimes he also feels that his family's normal behavior is a bit too much at times.

In the past, at this time, he would have been unable to ask any more questions.

Now, after all, he understood a lot of knowledge and theories about special pollution, so he slowly considered it, carefully considering each word, and asked softly, "Is the little girl I saw in the factory last time a real person?"

Mom listened and smiled, "Silly boy, that's fake, it's just a split spiritual body..."

Lu Xin nodded slightly, then slowly said, "Then... what about you?"

When Lu Xin asked this question, his father's snoring suddenly stopped in the kitchen.

My sister's bright eyes were peeking through the gaps in the ceiling partitions.

"You have to ask about such things..."

Mom listened to Lu Xin's serious question, but laughed softly and said, "Silly boy, are we real? Shouldn't we look at you?"

Lu Xin After hearing this answer, he sat at the table indifferently, not knowing how to react.

Mom chuckled softly and said, "We live together as a family, accompany each other, and help each other. Isn't this feeling real? If family companionship is not real, then what do you think is real?"

Lu Xin Hearing these words, a strange emotion arose in his heart.

He thought about his own life and it was very real.

"Ah, by the way..."

Mom seemed to suddenly remember something. He took out a letter from his bag, handed it to Lu Xin with a smile, and said, "I saw your letter in the mailbox downstairs just now, so I picked it up for you. It was sent from the orphanage..."

"I didn't peek..."

"..."

"What's she doing sending letters?"

Lu Xin's face relaxed slightly and he took the letter.

Mom stood up and walked towards the room, while casually responding. "She wants to call you over to eat dumplings..."
