The door was pushed open, and it was dark inside with no light at all.

There was only a faint light under the opened curtains, shining from the outside, making it look quiet and strange.

There was an inexplicable sense of fear that filled the entire room. Every inch seemed to have a chilling chill that could make one's hair stand on end. That coolness was not caused by temperature, but like a feeling of fear that even in the middle of summer when the body is hot and sweaty, the pores all over the body could suddenly close, and the person would hold his head and lie on the ground, enduring extreme torture without daring to make a sound.

Lu Xin walked slowly in this room, and saw that it was a room with one living room and two rooms. The ceiling seemed a bit low. There were a TV, a sofa, and a dining table. They were all kept clean and the area was not small. Therefore, the room seemed a bit empty and deserted.

"There is no power outage in this apartment and the lights can be turned on!"

In the channel, Han Bing's voice sounded softly, reminding Lu Xin.

Lu Xin nodded. He wanted to go over and fumble for the light switch, but he retracted his hand.

"Let me take a look first."

He answered Han Bing in a low voice, and then slowly walked around the room, with his sister following him.

The living room was empty, nothing.

In the first bedroom that Lu Xin opened, there were piles of clutter, but there was nothing strange either.

So, Lu Xin slowly held the door lock of the second bedroom and slowly turned it.

There was a slight "click" sound, and the door was pushed inwards.

Lu Xin immediately smelled a strong, putrid smell that burst out all of a sudden. He raised his sleeves and covered his mouth and nose. At this time, the sister beside him gently pulled him. In fact, without his sister's reminder, Lu Xin had already seen a human figure lying on the ground with his eyes that had just adapted to the light in the room. The strong putrid smell came from him.

This is a dead body.

What made Lu Xin a little alarmed was not the dead body, but the window sill.

There was a dark figure beside the window sill. He hugged his knees and sat quietly by the window, looking at the scenery outside the window.

The moment she saw him, Lu Xin was sure that the strong sense of fear came from him.

The younger sister stared at the black shadow, squatting down slightly, her eyes bright.

Lu Xin waved his hand gently to signal his sister not to bully it, and just said softly, "Can we communicate?"

The black figure still just hugged his knees quietly and sat by the window without any reaction.

"It's confirmed, it's just an ordinary Pollution Source!"

Lu Xin sighed lightly, said something to Han Bing in the channel, then turned around and touched the switch behind the door.

"Pa"

When the light suddenly illuminated the room, the dark shadow on the window sill disappeared in an instant. Even the fear in the room seemed to have dissipated a lot. At this time, Lu Xin could clearly see the layout of the room.

There was a rather wide bed, with the quilt spread out in a mess, and half of it was dragged to the ground.

Following the quilt, you can see the body lying on the ground.

He must have been dead for four or five days, and there were many places of decay on his body.

He maintained a posture of crawling off the bed, stretched his palm forward vigorously, and two or three meters away from his palm, lay a small medicine bottle, with several bright yellow capsule-shaped pills inside, spilled out from the bottle.

It seemed that he was reaching for the medicine bottle before he died, but failed.

"Relevant information has been found. Room 1004, Building C, Miningdong Community, rents a man named Wang Chu. He is 23 years old and works in a factory in the north of the city. He lives alone, has no registered relatives, and has no other criminal records."

On the channel, Han Bing's voice sounded softly, "Can you tell the cause of his death?"

Lu Xin squatted down and picked up the small medicine bottle, only to see the vague words "nitroglycerin" printed on it.

Han Bing should be able to see the words on the bottle from the camera view of Lu Xin, and immediately analyze. "Nitroglycerin is a drug that prevents and treats coronary heart disease, angina pectoris and other symptoms. If the body has no other external injuries, then it can be determined that the deceased most likely died of a heart attack and failed to obtain the drug to relieve the symptoms in time before death."

"However, the specific cause of death can only be determined after an autopsy."

"..."

"What to do now?"

Lu Xin nodded and asked Han Bing in the channel.

"It is recommended to use a special containment bag to contain its body, cut off Pollution Source's contact with the outside world, and then allow the support team to enter."

Lu Xin agreed, and took out a square bag from the bag behind him. It looked like a small piece the size of a palm, but after unfolding it, he found that it was quite large. It was made of a material that was rarely seen on the market, close to plastic. Lu Xin had seen similar ones at work before, and knew that it was woven from a new type of glass fiber.

He put the body in the bag as instructed. After sealing it, he paused briefly and put the medicine bottle into the bag.

The surrounding fear had dissipated so quickly at this time that it was almost impossible to feel it.

Han Bing was already on the channel, notifying the support team for him.

"So, how did his Pollution Source form?"

Lu Xin came to the window, opened the window, exuding the rancid smell in the room, and asked at the same time.

"The specific report should be derived from subsequent research..."

Han Bing said something, then paused slightly and said, "However, this matter is actually not difficult to analyze."

"This young man named Wang Chu lived alone in this house with no relatives or friends. He had a heart disease, so he kept nitroglycerin at home. But one night, he suddenly had a heart attack, but he did not get the life-saving medicine in time, so he died alone in this room. It should be that the intense emotions before death caused his mental abnormality."

"It's just that because he didn't have any harmful thoughts, he only formed a Pollution Source that was lower than D level instead of becoming Mental Monster. And because he was dead, the diffusion ability of Pollution Source was also slow and unconscious."

"Pollution Source like this has the most severe emotional impact, or impact, on people!"

"But because he will not actively assimilate or attack others, his risk and infection level are relatively low. Theoretically, this should be regarded as Pollution Source of E-class, which is also a relatively pure Pollution Source. Although it affects a large range, short-term contact will not really be contaminated. Of course, if it is affected by it for a long time, some terrible changes will definitely occur."

"..."

"Then..."

Lu Xin listened quietly and said, "Why did he leave such a Pollution Source who is only afraid?"

"It's probably because he's scared."

Han Bing was silent for a moment before explaining softly, "It's not just the fear of death, but also the fear of living here alone. After he dies, no one can find him or care about him. It is this fear that makes him become like this Pollution Source."

"..."

After a while, Lu Xin nodded slightly. "That should be it."

He subconsciously looked at his sister not far away, and saw that she was happily unpacking the toys and figures placed on the shelf by the young people in the living room before the support team came up. Her eyes were bright and her face was full of happiness. Suddenly, she felt a lot more at ease...

Fortunately, he was accompanied by his family.

On the first day of the new year, I must add an update to show my sincerity. In addition, monthly tickets can also be given for new books, so please vote...
