"Soul trade?"
"Hell?"
Lu Xin, Gecko, and Han Bing were all listening to Xia Chong's words carefully, but no matter what, they did not expect that they could not understand Xia Chong's exit. How to sell souls? What does it mean to create a real hell?
After a pause, Gecko asked curiously, "Are you talking about the pronoun of something?"
Xia Chong shook his head and said, "No, it's literally about the sale of souls."
"And hell is no different from what you understand. There is no sky, the wind is raging, the sound of mourning and howling is endless, and mysterious things emerge one after another. You can see the dead here and see the ultimate judgment. To a certain extent, they are creating a place that we ordinary people understand that no living person can escape, and the final destination..."
"..."
Suddenly, the expressions of the people in Qinggang became even weirder.
How to sell souls?
How to create hell?
Central City Is it because physics is not popular in primary school...
Where is the soul?
Although the existence of the spiritual body has been confirmed after the Crimson Moon incident, there is still a big difference between the spiritual body and the soul.
"This matter is very complicated to explain."
Xia Chong said, "I can only advise you to take it literally. The soul is the soul, and hell is the place where people go after death. This task is the first task Research Institute gave me after Buffalo City participated in Black Table's incident."
"After that mission, I was appreciated and was able to join the special investigation department affiliated with Research Institute. My position was upgraded one level from before, so I could directly help Research Institute., so you should no longer call me Captain Xia Chong. According to my current position, you should call me Investigator Xia Chong, and Intermediate Investigator."
"..."
Lu Xin and Gecko were both subconsciously in awe.
Lu Xin suddenly realized that Xia Chong entered Research Institute and became Intermediate Investigator...
... upgrade two levels in a row?
Han Bing's heart moved slightly and said, "Research Institute Are there many such low, middle and high-level investigators?"
Xia Chong said expressionlessly, "No, Research Institute only has intermediate and senior investigators."
Lu Xin subconsciously wanted to think it was awesome.
But he suddenly realized, no, does this mean that Xia Chong is the lowest level?
However, considering the special nature of Research Institute, it seems that even Intermediate Investigator, who is directly affiliated, is very powerful...
... However, it only counts as a level up.
"This first task is to investigate the soul transaction."
Xia Chong continued, "After coming into contact with similar information, I learned that somewhere, there is a mysterious organization that has been working hard to create a hell, a place where people can continue to exist and survive after death, and it is already quite large..."
Han Bing frowned, feeling that it was getting more and more outrageous.
Subconsciously: "How does Research Institute know such a thing?"
Xia Chong glanced at her and said, "The masses reported it."
"..."
Han Bing was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to answer.
After a while, he said, "Then you really believe that such a place must exist?"
Xia Chong said with a serious face, "Research Institute has always expressed doubts about this. However, we found a batch of soul transactions taking place before, which invisibly proved that the existence of this place may be true, so we started the investigation."
"After receiving this investigation mission, we tracked all the way from Central City to here. We have identified a group of mysterious organizations that are conducting soul trading, and are preparing to capture them and obtain more detailed information. In fact, more than twenty days ago, we almost succeeded, but unfortunately, due to the interference of an organization called Crimson Heart Knights, the capture failed in the end."
Xia Chong After saying this, his already cold expression became even colder, and he seemed to get angry when he mentioned it.
"Crimson Heart Knights?"
Lu Xin couldn't help but feel slightly curious after hearing this.
The Knights are a bandit organization in this wilderness. They got their name from the fact that they rode motorcycles and robbed everywhere.
Xia Chong and the others are subordinate to Research Institute, intermediate ability users and regular army.
How could a knight order interfere with their mission?
"The Knights also have strong men."
Xia Chong seemed to understand what they were thinking and explained, "The Crimson Heart Knights we encountered is said to be a very famous organization in the south. The leader is a woman named 'Seven'. She is a powerful ability user in her own right and has recruited many other ability users for her own use. However, it is said that no matter how many ability users she recruits, the number will always remain seven."
"Each of their members has very strong abilities. Moreover, Research Institute has always suspected that the secret laboratory behind them is responsible for strengthening her and her ability users. It is not overestimated to say that they may have the strength to easily overthrow or even completely control a city. So it is not surprising that we were caught off guard and their mission was destroyed."
"..."
"We didn't say it was strange..."
Gecko murmured in a low voice without daring to speak too loudly. It was obvious that Xia Chong was a little concerned about this.
Crimson Heart Knights, the leader's name is "Seven".
Then together with Xia Chong and his team, they appeared around Black Marsh City...
At this moment, Lu Xin also felt a slight movement in his heart.
He is already very confident about who the leader of this knighthood is...
I didn't expect that...
The children who came out of the orphanage all had their own different development trajectories.
Someone at Black Table joined the underworld.
Someone set up an orphanage in Qinggang.
Some people, such as myself, have found a serious job and are doing very well.
What's outrageous is that there are actually people who go to the wilderness to become robbers...
As he slowly thought about it, he couldn't help but reveal a smile on his face. This was the kind of feeling he felt when he heard that his former classmates were not doing as well as he was. It didn't sound very nice to say, but it was indeed a kind of superiority, and it also brought a little secret joy...
Xia Chong felt even more uncomfortable when he saw the smile on Lu Xin's face.
After moving slightly, she added, "If I have the chance, I will still seize this knighthood."
"However, after all, we still focus on the mission. The most important thing is to continue to capture the group of organizations that are trading souls. Therefore, we applied for Negative Zero Unit to come over for help and tracked the mysterious organization. Unfortunately, just when we were about to surround them for the second time, the members of the mysterious organization performed a strange sacrifice ceremony."
"They became Mental Monster."
"..."
"?"
Several people in Qinggang looked up at her at the same time.
His expression was indescribably weird.
It is nothing new that people can be contaminated and become Mental Monster.
However, taking the initiative to sacrifice and become Mental Monster?
To a certain extent, this is something that shocks people's outlook...
"Yes."
Xia Chong, on the other hand, had a serious expression and nodded very affirmatively, saying, "We have sent back the form of the sacrificial ceremony to Research Institute, but have not yet analyzed their principles. But on the surface, those people gave up their lives, and even their sanity, and became an independent Mental Monster. They can move freely, and their spiritual level is about a hundred thousand."
"This level of Mental Monster is not weak, but it is not particularly powerful either."
"It's just that because of its characteristics, it has become very difficult to capture. In the eyes of normal people, this is an invisible body that cannot be seen and will not leave any traces in the real sense. However, every time it goes to a place, the people around it will be slightly contaminated, causing some memory confusion, emotional loss and other problems. It is through this trace of pollution that we track it."
"Because we need to capture it, interrogate some of its information, and study its form of existence at the same time, so we cannot completely eliminate it. We can only trace its traces and set up an encirclement in advance to force it into a trap."
"But this is really difficult."
"Whether it's manpower or certain items, we're severely lacking."
"..."
Having said this, he looked at Lu Xin and said, "That's why we want to ask for your help."
"After all, your ability is powerful and can ensure safety. In addition, I remember that you seem to have a..."
"... can you directly see Mental Monster's ability?"
"..."
That's it.
Only then did Lu Xin and others understand the purpose of Xia Chong's appearance.
Just for a moment, I was still somewhat surprised by what they said. A monster that no one could see wandered in the wilderness. Wherever it passed, countless people were contaminated, causing all kinds of mental chaos and problems...
Subconsciously, it gives people an absurd and mysterious feeling.
"Monsters running out of the abyss, mobile Pollution Source wandering around in the wilderness, forbidden creatures that steal sleep..."
Lu Xin himself had a vague feeling when he heard this.
There seem to be more and more monsters in this world.
"We thought of asking you for help, but it's not entirely because we won't be able to find other suitable people around here for a while."
Xia Chong looked at Lu Xin and said, "There is another thing."
Lu Xin was slightly curious and looked up.
Xia Chong said, "We tracked it before and judged that its general route of action should be heading straight to Black Marsh City. Therefore, we rushed to Black Marsh City in advance and prepared to set a trap for it here. However, we did not expect that when this monster was approaching Black Marsh City four days ago, it suddenly stopped without any warning and then turned to the south."
"We were curious about why it suddenly changed its route, so we captured the remaining spiritual radiation at the place where it changed direction and restored it. We found that when it was about to arrive at Black Marsh City, it seemed to have noticed something and bowed down towards Black Marsh City..."
"..."
Everyone listened with rapt attention and asked with concern, "What next?"
Xia Chong said, "After paying homage, it cursed and walked towards the south..."
"..."
Everyone in Qinggang was speechless for a moment.
Xia Chong looked at Lu Xin seriously and said, "In terms of time, this should be the time for you to solve Black Marsh City Special Pollution Event."
"So, we conclude that the monster is afraid of you."
