"Xia Chong?"
"Why is she here?"
"..."
The moment he saw Xia Chong, Lu Xin was distracted, and the black particles in his eyes quickly faded.
Even the shadows around him calmed down instantly. His father was as curious as himself.
"Come quickly..."
Seeing Lu Xin's slightly dazed look, Xia Chong stamped his feet anxiously. "It will be too late..."
"Oh oh..."
Only then did Lu Xin react. He glanced at the black mental bodies that were squeezing in around him like a tide, and the Negative Zero Unit personnel who seemed to have no emotional fluctuations in their bodies and were just mechanically fighting against the black mental bodies. He immediately calmly dismissed the thoughts that had just arisen in his heart and walked quickly in the direction of Xia Chong under the protection of the Negative Zero Unit members.
"Grab my hand..."
Xia Chong, who only leaned out half of his body, quickly took Lu Xin's hand and retreated behind the door.
"Squeak..."
The moment the door closed, countless black spiritual bodies and chaotic and turbid spiritual force fields all disappeared.
The surrounding world turned into blood-red ruins. Lu Xin and Xia Chong shuttled through the ruins. They climbed over countless broken walls and cracked roads, and finally came to a complete door. They quickly opened the door and walked in.
It took some time for Lu Xin to adapt to the light in this room.
I saw that I was in a dark and cramped room, with only a few dim light bulbs lit.
A variety of firearms and computers were piled in the corners of the room, making it look chaotic.
There were two people lying on the two camp beds near the corner.
A person with bandages all over his body was the ability user of Central City, his good friend, who had given him an antique lighter scalpel before. The other one was Beast Tamer. She was sitting on the bed with paper towels piled around her like a hill.
"Eh..."
Scalpel heard the sound of the door opening, and there was a glimmer of excitement in his eyes, which were only a slit left.
He raised his hand towards Lu Xin with great difficulty, and the bandage on his mouth kept twisting, looking very enthusiastic.
"Oops..."
Lu Xin hurriedly stepped forward and held the scalpel's hand. "Why is it hurt so badly?"
The scalpel's mouth kept twisting, squeezing out a little gap in the bandage, and opened the mouth like a mosquito.
Lu Xin quickly moved closer to his mouth and heard him say, "Hello."
Lu Xin hurriedly held his hand, shook it up and down, and said, "Hello, hello, why are you hurt so badly?"
Scalpel's mouth trembled and he whispered something again.
Lu Xin came to his mouth and heard him say, "Why are you here?"
"..."
Lu Xin answered honestly, "Investigator Xia Chong brought me here."
Scalpel's mouth trembled and he spoke again. Lu Xin leaned over and heard him ask, "How have you been lately?"
Lu Xin was a little speechless, gently put down his hand, and helped him grab the bandage:
"You're so seriously injured, don't even think about chatting."
"..."
As he spoke, he ignored the movements of the scalpel's mouth, turned to look at Beast Tamer, and said with a smile, "Hello."
Beast Tamer blew his nose hard, wiped it with a tissue, threw it aside, and said with a cry, "I'm not good."
Lu Xin was stunned. "What's wrong?"
"So pathetic."
Beast Tamer said, "Those people, those who died, they are so pitiful, I, I feel the same, I sympathize with them, but I find that I can't help them at all. Really, I feel that I am very useless and life is meaningless..."
"..."
Lu Xin was a little unable to answer the question, and turned to Xia Chong: "What's going on?"
Xia Chong just closed the door, then quickly checked the layout of the room, then turned around and said:
"Don't worry about the two of them. One was seriously injured when fighting High Priest from Black Box. Only his eyes and mouth can move. The other was contaminated by the breath of hell. His emotions are in extreme chaos and he hasn't adjusted yet."
"..."
Lu Xin was slightly surprised, turned to look at the two of them, and couldn't help but said, "Then what's going on?"
"Why are you here?"
"..."
"It should be said that it's why you are here, right?"
Xia Chong also looked at Lu Xin curiously and sat on a shabby sofa.
He crossed his legs and took out alcohol to wipe the wounds on his legs.
While wiping, he grinned slightly and said, "We originally came here to track the soul trade. We wanted to follow the clues and find the entrance to hell. In the end, we collided head-on with Tinder. We suffered a bit during the fight..."
"What about you? Haven't you already returned to Qinggang?"
"..."
As he said this, he suddenly thought of something and looked at Lu Xin with some vigilance, "Did you come to me to ask for the two million?"
"No, no..."
Lu Xin was startled for a moment, then hurriedly shook his head.
Facing Xia Chong's questioning, he also found it a bit funny. "How could I come to you Kindling City for two million?"
Although the two million has not been given to him yet, he has asked Han Bing to ask for it for him.
"I think so."
Xia Chong glanced at Lu Xin and said, "I can see that you like money, but think about it, you can't come to Kindling City for just a few million."
"But I was really surprised to find you here. When I first sensed Hell Legion moving, I thought the entrance to hell was about to open. Then I realized that it was you alone who was fighting this Hell Legion..."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but his face darkened slightly, and he lectured. "You are really crazy, don't you know how scary Hell Legion is?"
Lu Xin explained, "Before the fight, I really didn't know..."
He paused slightly and said, "But the things we just encountered are indeed difficult to deal with. What's so scary about them?"
"You, a person who just fought with the Hell Legion and relied on Negative Zero Unit to escape, actually ask me what is so scary about them?"
Xia Chong I feel like there is something wrong with the logic.
But after thinking about it for a while, I found that there was nothing wrong. Besides, Lu Xin asked, so I subconsciously wanted to tell him, saying:
"Hell Legion is the kind of mental turmoil you encounter. It is one of the products born when fire creates hell."
"You can see Mental Monster directly, then you should see it, it is a type of Mental Monster that has never been seen before."
"It is composed of individual spiritual bodies. Each spiritual body is not a living person, and its own emotions are kept in the strongest state at all times... You can understand that it is maintained in the state of a person on the verge of death."
"Precisely because they remain in this state all the time, they are almost immune to other contamination, just like a person who is extremely angry and even forgets sadness and fear."
"Hell Legion is such an existence, like a legion created by souls that maintain strong mental fluctuations at all times."
"They cannot be contaminated. It can even be said that they are the nemesis of those with abilities."
"..."
Lu Xin listened carefully and couldn't help but nod slightly.
Xia Chong's explanation did help him understand some of the strange phenomena he had just encountered.
As Xia Chong spoke, he frowned and said, "The fire was behind the soul transaction we investigated before. It can also be confirmed that some of the souls of the transaction were created like this Hell Legion. When we first met, we almost suffered a big loss. Fortunately, Negative Zero Unit was with us, otherwise, we might have been wiped out by now."
"Negative Zero Unit..."
Lu Xin also reacted. Thinking of the scene he just saw, he was slightly curious:
"They don't seem to be difficult to deal with."
Judging from the scene just now, he even had a feeling that Negative Zero Unit could deal with that legion more easily than he did.
"You found it too."
Xia Chong glanced at him and said, "Negative Zero Unit, to a certain extent, and this Hell Legion are mutually restrained."
She hesitated for a moment before speaking calmly, and said, "Hell Legion of Fire is a dead person who always maintains extreme emotional fluctuations. Negative Zero Unit is a living person who has completely suppressed the fluctuations of his own emotions or mental power through some means. Therefore, they can also be immune to the contamination of other ability users to a large extent."
After a pause, she continued expressionlessly, "Having been in the industry for so long, you should know the existence of D-class personnel."
"Negative Zero Unit is the strongest group D."
"..."
"Huh?"
Lu Xin Listening to Xia Chong's calm explanation, he felt faintly shocked in his heart.
Hell Legion, Negative Zero Unit...
Before coming to Fire, he even felt that ability users were unreasonable and powerful.
Just like a small hourglass of memory, it can easily take away the most precious and only things left by ordinary people.
But now, I suddenly know the two terrifying existences Hell Legion and Negative Zero Unit.
It turns out that without realizing it, there are already many things in this world that I could not even imagine.
He was silent for a while and didn't speak.
Xia Chong surprisingly understood his thoughts without urging or anything.
Every person with abilities who knows about the existence of Negative Zero Unit will be silent for a while. This is also human nature.
The expression on Lu Xin's face also went through a process of slight surprise, slight contemplation, and then gradually faded away, revealing a smile again, and then he said to Xia Chong, "Since you have the ability to fight against the Hell Legion, why are you still staying here?"
"Huh..."
Xia Chong breathed a sigh of relief, put down his legs that exuded the pungent smell of alcohol, and said to Lu Xin:
"Negative Zero Unit and Hell Legion are just restraining each other."
"In terms of single combat strength, Hell Legion is naturally not as good as Negative Zero Unit, but with the constant number of the Hell Legion, Negative Zero Unit has no chance of winning."
"What's more, Negative Zero Unit cannot enter the abyss due to some problems of their own. Therefore, many of our combat plans cannot be completed and we can only stay here and wait for reinforcements."
"..."
"Reinforcements?"
Lu Xin is somewhat curious.
"Yes."
Xia Chong nodded seriously and said, "We have pursued all the way and confirmed that hell is at Kindling City, and even obtained tangible evidence. Logically speaking, our mission has been completed, but because we learned that the entrance to hell is about to open, and guessed that this should be a major event that can affect the world structure, we took the initiative to apply and stay to investigate this matter."
"It's a pity that during the process of investigating the entrance to hell, we encountered Hell Legion, suffered a big loss, and deeply felt that we were lacking in strength. Therefore, we have sent a message requesting support to Research Institute, and received Research Institute's consent..."
As she spoke, her little face seemed to show a rare hint of excitement, and she said, "Reinforcements have been sent out."
"It is said that the one sent was the most powerful mercenary in Research Institute's eyes..."
"..."
"Wait..."
Looking at Xia Chong's slightly expectant expression, Lu Xin suddenly noticed something was wrong. "Who are you talking about?"
"I have never seen his appearance, and I don't know his strength. I don't even know how many people he has under his command."
Xia Chong gave Lu Xin a strange look, and continued with emotion, "But I know his code name..."
"... a legendary figure in the Alliance mercenary market, Dracula!"
"..."
"Wait, wait, it's a bit messy..."
Lu Xin seemed to be struck all of a sudden. He waved his hands repeatedly. After a while, he said in a speechless tone, "If, if I guessed correctly, Research Institute, Research Institute asked this most powerful mercenary to take action. He should have paid a lot of money, right?"
"Of course..."
Xia Chong nodded and said, "As far as I know, the research released this time is the highest level task."
"The commission alone is as high as..."
After a slight pause, she solemnly said, "One hundred million!"
