In order not to scare them anymore, Lu Xin leaned down slightly and increased his speed.

He jumped several times on the wall and quickly turned the corner of the room.

As he walked along the vertical wall toward his destination as if walking on flat ground, both his field of vision and the path experienced strange changes. It was as if he had entered a strange world with undulating ground and full of deep pits and mud blocks.

Jumping around in it, you feel like the whole world has become fresh and interesting.

When passing a high-rise building, Lu Xin looked forward and could already see the dark mass of armed vehicles in the distance, which had piled up from all directions, faintly blocking the three nearby streets. The atmosphere was tense and strangely neat.

Even Lu Xin couldn't help but wonder if the special pollution in Qinggang was getting less and less due to the promotion of Heavenly Kingdom Plan.

These professionals were also panicking, so after finally encountering a special event, they rushed over to have fun?

While thinking this, he had already arrived at Qingpo Road and found a dark alley to land.

After adjusting his clothes a little, he walked out of the alley.

At this time, night falls, the lights are first turned on, and the streets are bustling.

Many people don't know that three streets outside have been blocked. They are busy shopping, eating and selling goods to make money and beat their husbands. They use their own light and heat to add a little lively and lively color to the lively atmosphere of this street.

Lu Xin walked through the crowd quietly and walked towards the store Cao Ye mentioned.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but when he walked down the street, people around him looked at him from time to time.

It's not the obvious, sudden look at yourself, but a glance from this person and a glance from that person.

This seems to be a very common look on the street, but if all of them are looking at themselves together, it feels like one person is looking up and down, left and right, looking at themselves carefully, maybe still speculating on themselves.

Lu Xin ignored it and walked straight past. You can't let others look at you and just ask "What are you looking at?", right?

Soon, he came to the store. This store looked like a dilapidated grocery store that can be seen everywhere in the city.

It sells cigarettes, alcohol, snacks, hardware tools, family planning supplies, etc.

This is a typical example. You are familiar with its existence, but you may have never bought anything in it, and you don't know if all its items have expired. You don't know how many turnovers the old boss behind the counter has in this small shop today...

Lu Xin looked at the store for a few times, then walked straight into the store and said softly, "Buy cigarettes."

Inside the store, the space was very small. Inside the store, which was full of goods, sat an old man with most of his face submerged in shadow.

He didn't even owe anything, he just asked in a low voice, "What do you want to buy?"

Lu Xin said, "Expensive."

The old man in the shadow began to fumble around, and after a while, he threw a box of cigarettes over. "White General, ten yuan."

"It's really expensive..."

Lu Xin touched the cigarette, opened it, lit it, and took a lighter directly from the counter.

Smoke began to quietly fill the grocery store, and Lu Xin looked behind the counter.

My eyes had adapted to the light in the grocery store, so I saw the old man's appearance clearly. He looked almost a hundred years old. His face was wrinkled, his eyes were cloudy, and his movements were slow. Sitting behind the counter, he looked like a piece of plastic.

Putting the cigarette into his pocket, Lu Xin said, "I heard that you sell Love Sticky Note here?"

"..."

When the old man behind the counter heard this, he didn't react at all, as if he didn't hear it.

"That stuff is illegal."

Lu Xin did not wait for his answer, but told him seriously, "Because it can disturb other people's memories, I have reported it to the Special Pollution Cleanup Department door in Qinggang. Now I have received instructions from the headquarters to come and seal your shop and take you back."

The other party still didn't answer.

Lu Xin looked at him and decided to take him back regardless of whether he answered or not.

Although Mental Monster didn't see Mental Monster from this old man, Lu Xin could still feel that something was wrong with him.

This man is very old, so old that his mental strength is beginning to weaken.

If the mental level of an ordinary person is ten units, then this old man may have only four, or even three, left.

The word "candle in the wind" is perfect to describe him.

But in this weak spiritual power, an abnormal spiritual power can be faintly felt.

It was like a dazzling golden light coming from a worn-out sack.

Even though the opponent has tried hard to hide deeply, he still cannot escape in front of the powerful spiritual level.

"Because you want to take me back, you don't even have to give me cigarette money?"

Just when Lu Xin was considering whether to tie him up first or put on an ability suppressor first, he suddenly heard a voice.

He frowned slightly and saw a round object suddenly protruding from the shadows beside the old man.

It turned out to be a head. It looked like a young man with fine features, supported by a slender neck.

This neck grew on the old man's shoulder.

This makes the old man look like he has two heads, which is very weird.

Lu Xin narrowed his eyes, looked at this weird head, and said softly, "There is indeed something wrong with you."

"There is also a lighter..."

The head opened faintly, its eyes staring at Lu Xin in the shadows.

Lu Xin was silent for a moment, took out the gun from the bag, turned on the safety, looked at the head quietly, and said:

"Are you going to be caught by me directly, or do you want to go through a resistance process?"

"I need to remind you that I am more aggressive. If you are caught by me, you may die."

"..."

The young head did not answer. He seemed to think for a while and said, "Actually, I feel a little strange. I have been very careful and there is not much movement. With this kind of deep-seated pollution, unless someone specifically searches for it, there is no problem..."

"So, how did you find out?"

"..."

Lu Xin frowned and said, "I discovered the problem of those two young people, and after in-depth inquiry and investigation, didn't I find out?"

"..."

The young head was silent for a moment and said, "I really didn't expect that a person with such a powerful ability like you would actually follow two ordinary people to investigate such a trivial matter in detail. Compared with other powerful ability users..."

"... Do you ever feel that you are not doing your job properly?"

"..."

Lu Xin was slightly silent, not knowing how to answer this.

Did you tell him that you were trying to make two hundred thousand?

"Soldier, can you hear me?"

At this moment, the voice of Chen Jing sounded from the position of the spectacles, "The blockade has been completed and the arrest can be carried out."

"I heard it."

Lu Xin replied, then raised his head and suddenly reached out to grab the slender neck. "Come back with me!"

"Uh-huh!"

His movements were very fast, and he only caught it after seeing it clearly and being sure.

When I reached out with my palm, I immediately came into contact with a delicate and slimy touch.

Then he quickly pulled it towards him and successfully pulled the head in front of him.

Looking down at it, I saw that the young man's facial features on the head actually showed a smile, saying:

"You are very powerful and scary..."

"But it's a pity that you can't catch me in this way..."

As he spoke, the features on his face were gradually fading, as if the outline on a white paper were being wiped out.

"I was hiding in his memory, how could you catch me?"

"..."

When his last voice disappeared, Lu Xin frowned and looked at his palm.

I saw that the slender neck in the palm turned into an invisible spiritual force, and it was extremely weak.

The other end was tied to the old man.

This is the old man's spiritual power, which may be annihilated at any time.

The power that made Lu Xin feel weird has quickly disappeared from the old man.

At the same time, there was a "crash", and the surroundings were suddenly filled with layers of noisy and scattered spiritual power.

In Lu Xin's field of vision, on the messy shelves and under the counter, suddenly there were strange palms one after another, breaking through the packaging boxes or thin wooden boards, stretching out, weird and twisted, like branches, grabbing at him from all directions.

They all extend from different things such as post-it notes, weird boxes, sharp knives, etc...

...Is this one of those weird items from the grocery store?

... That person not only escaped, but also activated the parasitic spiritual power on these things to attack him?

Not only did he attack himself, he also caused all the scattered shelves in the grocery store to fall down one by one.

In an instant, Lu Xin and the old man were almost submerged inside.

"Buzz"

Lu Xin frowned slightly, the invisible spiritual power spread out instantly, and the surrounding air became thick and twisted.

All the palms were broken and obliterated by these twisted airs.

Even the collapsed cargo was held up by Lu Xin's spiritual power and quickly returned to its original position.

The entire grocery store seemed to be shaken suddenly and then quickly returned to its original state.

"Ouch..."

It was only then that the old man behind the counter seemed to suddenly wake up and did not notice anything strange around him.

He raised his head tremblingly. "Buying something?"

"Awake up?

Lu Xin frowned, took out a ten-yuan note, put it in front of him, then turned around and left the grocery store.

Standing on the busy street, he raised his hand and pressed the temple of his glasses, reporting:

"That thing escaped. It seems to be able to hide in people's memories. It's difficult for me to catch him without killing people."

"..."

"It doesn't matter, he can't run away."

In the channel, Chen Jing said without any hesitation, "I asked Kid to take action and force it out."

A cat has not given birth for almost two months. Can it be determined to be a false pregnancy?
