Lu Xin It was already evening when we arrived near the mining community in the north of the city.
The sun began to set, and the entire community showed a dark red color that was different from the light of Crimson Moon.
As the jeep stopped, a staff member immediately came over to help him open the door. After Lu Xin got out of the car, he found that a cordon had been set up in the distance, and a group of dark residents were waiting behind the cordon. It looked chaotic, with some people looking inside curiously, others nervously discussing something, and a few even showing curious expressions of watching the excitement.
At this time, all locations around the entire community have been cordoned off and cordoned off by gun-wielding soldiers.
Lu Xin, led by a gun-wielding police officer, went straight into the community. When he passed Block C, he saw that the security here was tighter than the surrounding area. Everyone looked like they were facing a formidable enemy, but subconsciously they were a little far away from Block C.
"Mr. Lu... Shanbing, the investigation team Cheng Hui stationed at Satellite City No. 2 is reporting to you!"
From a distance, I saw a soldier in armed uniform coming to Lu Xin and saluting him.
"It turns out to be you."
Lu Xin recognized this soldier, who was the leader of the investigation team that previously investigated Qin Ran, and nodded to him with a smile.
"Vacation is over?"
The team leader named Cheng Hui saw that Lu Xin was still as relaxed as when they met before, and seemed a little relaxed. He smiled and said, "Because an in-depth investigation is about to begin in the city, our vacation has been cancelled. Mr. Single Soldier, you saved our lives in the last mission, and I haven't been able to thank you in person. I didn't expect that I would ask you to come over and handle the mission this time!"
Lu Xin also smiled sheepishly, "It's all for work, there's no need to be so polite."
As they talked, the two walked inside. Among the soldiers stationed around the apartment in Building C, Lu Xin also saw two other members of the investigation team. Although they could not come up to express their thanks at this time due to discipline, they still cast friendly glances.
"What's the specific situation?"
When Lu Xin approached the C apartment building, he stopped outside the innermost cordon.
"Specific..."
Cheng Hui opened his mouth slightly and seemed a little embarrassed to say it, saying, "We don't know either!"
"After receiving the order from the headquarters, we rushed over immediately. With the cooperation of the Guard Department, we have evacuated the residents of this community. Obvious mental radiation can be detected near Building C. Originally, our mission should have been to enter Building C and find out the specific location of Pollution Source, but... but in this process, we all failed."
"..."
"Failed?"
Lu Xin looked at him somewhat surprised.
He had seen this investigation team work before and knew that they were very professional in this area.
"Yes!"
Cheng Hui answered truthfully, "Now we can preliminarily determine that the pollution should be located on the ninth to twelfth floors of this building. However, in the process of approaching Pollution Source, we will feel an inexplicable fear. Even the special protective measures are completely unable to resist this fear. When it reaches the limit, there will even be strong dizziness and collapse..."
"So... we have no choice but to retreat temporarily!"
"..."
"Is it just fear?"
Lu Xin Listening, I felt a little strange.
"Yeah, that's a very strange fear..."
Cheng Hui answered slowly, "There is no specific scary thing or picture, it's just a feeling, but it cannot be resolved. The closer we get to the suspected location of Pollution Source, the more serious this feeling of fear becomes. Even if we have experienced professional training, we cannot rule out or resist this fear. Therefore, we have to apply to the headquarters... to transfer Special Action Team."
Now Lu Xin has undergone special pollution theory training for a period of time, but it is obviously not enough.
So he tapped the earphone lightly and said, "What's the reason?"
Han Bing's voice sounded in the channel, "If there is no specific object of fear, but just a feeling, it is most likely due to the influence of Special Pollution Source No. 072, which distorts people's emotions and amplifies the feeling of terror."
"The residents of the mine community have collectively become nervous, and they must have been affected by Special No. 072 Pollution Source."
"Although it is just a fearful emotion, if it is infinitely amplified, it can easily cause people to become overly nervous, suspicious, and even, in order to protect themselves, produce a strong hostility towards others, or act to harm others first..."
"My suggestion is to look for Pollution Source, observe its properties, and then decide whether to clean it up or seal it."
"..."
Lu Xin nodded and looked up at the C apartment building.
I saw that this was a very ordinary apartment with a total of 12 floors. It looked newer than the old building I lived in. It had a simple European style overall. Although the outside of the building looked like it had not been cleaned for a long time, the real stone paint still reflected a fresh color even when the light was not bright enough. Now that the night was getting darker, several windows with lights had been highlighted.
This is a very ordinary apartment building.
But when looking towards this building, it does give people a slightly creepy feeling.
This feeling cannot even be described in words. It appears inexplicably, but it can be felt truly.
It was a feeling that made people subconsciously not want to look directly, let alone get close.
"Okay, let me go in and take a look."
Lu Xin softly agreed with Han Bing's suggestion.
Listening to his words, Cheng Hui on one side, and a police officer who seemed to have a high police rank and wanted to get closer but didn't dare, all had some surprised expressions on their faces. The only difference was that Cheng Hui quickly thought of something and calmed down his expression.
He just asked directly, "Mr. Single Soldier, do you need any special protective equipment?"
"No need."
Lu Xin shook his head, thought for a moment, and said, "Stay away!"
Cheng Hui immediately became serious and said, "Yes!"
In fact, Lu Xin doesn't know why you want them to stay away. It seems that adding this sentence is more professional?
Fortunately they didn't ask...
Lu Xin directly lifted the cordon, got under it, and then walked toward the building alone under the gaze of everyone. Behind him, there were countless nervous and curious eyes. Compared to the building, these eyes made him more nervous.
It wasn't until he opened the heavy security door and walked into the building that Lu Xin felt the gaze behind him cut off and felt more comfortable.
The corridor seemed unusually quiet. Several braziers could be seen on the ground, containing incompletely burned paper ashes.
This should have been burned by the residents in the building. When encountering some uncertain problems, people often place their hope in ghosts and gods.
Lu Xin Thinking about it, he came to the elevator and found that the elevator still had the indicator light on, so it should be ready for use.
"Because we are not sure whether special Pollution Source has other unknown dangers, it is not recommended to take the elevator to avoid being unable to evacuate in time in case of sudden changes... If you must take the elevator, it is best to take it to the fifth floor and then walk up!"
After hearing Han Bing's words on the channel, Lu Xin retracted his finger from pressing the elevator and agreed softly, "Okay."
Then he walked towards the stairs.
