"Is this what it is?"
Heaving a sigh of relief, Lu Xin lowered his head and looked at the thing in his hand.
Unexpectedly, what was stolen from this forest was a strange-looking plastic Kid.
She is twenty centimeters long in total, and her body is made of a black soft plastic material.. She was wearing a delicately cut white skirt, which was actually in the style of a wedding dress. There was an indescribable sense of distortion in his facial features, with a strange and stiff smile.
Lu Xin's right hand held her body tightly.
It could be felt that her body was trembling, and she could hardly hold the playing cards in her arms.
Suddenly he turned his head and bit Lu Xin's thumb.
Lu Xin frowned and squeezed her bones until her bones crackled. She immediately let go and tears welled up in her eyes.
"Parasite?"
At this moment, the voice of Dr. An sounded.
I saw several other researchers coming up.
Their expressions were somewhat strange. As they approached, they secretly looked at Lu Xin's appearance.
Even Zhang, Dr. Wang, and Master Li, for the first time, have reached unity in look and temperament.
There is no longer the intention to stare at each other all the time and want to kill each other, but to focus on Lu Xin...
One thing to say, Lu Xin is really unfair.
"Somewhat similar, but not like a standard parasitic product..."
Lu Xin automatically ignored the gazes of these three people, but looked down at the small thing in his hand, pondered slightly, and said:
"I can feel that she is not the source of the pollution just now, but more like a puppet..."
"The real monster is hiding in this forest. Unfortunately, when I tried to catch it, it escaped..."
"Honestly, it's a little depressing."
"..."
As he spoke, he shook his head slightly, feeling really uncomfortable.
The little plastic bride held in his right hand also shivered slightly, as if she sensed Lu Xin's emotions.
"This..."
Seeing the disappointed look on Lu Xin's face, Dr. An and others' expressions were somewhat strange.
Dr. An was silent for a moment, looked at the things in Lu Xin's hands, and suddenly said, "Do you know what you just did?"
"Huh?"
Lu Xin was a little surprised when he saw her expression suddenly turned serious.
I quickly calculated in my mind, did I do something that was not up to standard, to the point of deducting money?
"Alas..."
Dr. An sighed softly and said, "You just successfully rescued a high-level forbidden creature that was attacked by them in someone else's field. And in less than a second, you roughly occupied the other party's field. And you captured the core of this field, which can also be said to be the lord of the other party's territory. You even gave the other party no chance to escape..."
After a slight pause, she said, "Although I did escape in the end, I did so at a great price."
"And you actually feel a little lost, as if you are reluctant..."
"..."
"This..."
Listening to what Dr. An said, Lu Xin suddenly felt a little confused.
"So, I seem to be quite unreasonable?"
"..."
"It's just so unreasonable."
Dr. An suddenly showed a sweet smile Sisi, and his voice became tired. "And he is quite manly..."
"Huh?"
Lu Xin was startled by her change, her face turned slightly red, and she took a step back without leaving a trace.
At the same time, Dr. Wang and Dr. Zhang also thought of something, and suddenly took a step forward in unison.
Master Li was blocked tightly.
Master Li was immediately furious and said to these two people, "Get out of the way."
Lu Xin was slightly startled, thinking silently, "Don't let me go..."
At the same time, he didn't notice that even the plastic bride in his palm hugged his thumb tightly.
"This, this..."
It's really weird to feel like the topic will go off track at any time.
Lu Xin also hurriedly got angry and said seriously, "But, what level does this thing belong to?"
Frowning slightly, he thought carefully, "Fantasy Nation degree?"
"Whether it is Fantasy Nation degree or not, it must have surpassed the fourth level."
Dr. An switched between being flirtatious and serious with ease. He immediately switched to serious mode and analyzed lightly. "If it was just Mental Lord, it would never be possible to put so much pressure on another Mental Lord in such a short period of time."
"It's even close to sealing her away."
"It's just that if it is the existence of Fifth Step, it feels like..."
"..."
She paused slightly, and did not say the next words, but looked at her slightly.
If that is really the existence of Fifth Step, then is Lu Xin acting a little too strong?
She didn't say this out loud, so it didn't spark any discussion for the time being.
But when everyone heard her mention Sisi, they all turned their heads subconsciously.
Not far away, he saw the little girl named Sisi sitting on the ground, silently putting the metal rings she had just taken off on various parts of her body. While restraining his body, he looked up at a place with a calm expression.
Including Dr. An, several other people were suddenly a little surprised.
They know Sisi, so they know that this is equivalent to a smile for Sisi.
Just after she came back from being on the verge of completely losing control, she actually immediately released her kindness towards something?
Only Lu Xin understood this scene, and suddenly felt his heart soften slightly.
In his field of vision, he saw his sister sitting next to the little girl named Sisi.
While looking at her curiously, he silently took the metal suppressors that had fallen everywhere and handed them to her.
The two of them seemed very gentle and seemed to have a little tacit understanding.
Sister, have you finally made a friend?
"Oops..."
At this moment, Dr. Wang and Dr. Zhang also reacted to the sudden change and the panic of Master Li's sudden interest in Lu Xin. They sighed slightly, then looked at Lu Xin and said, "It was so chaotic just now. We really didn't see clearly what happened... Were the Doll and playing cards in your hand thrown by monsters?"
"I snatched it from a hallucination..."
Lu Xin responsibly recounted the experience just now.
They probably didn't see the experiences in hallucinations, they only saw the confrontation in reality.
"You almost included Sisi in the painting?"
After listening to Lu Xin's story, everyone was slightly startled and looked down at the playing card.
All I saw was a King of Diamonds.
Judging from the format, it looks like the product of a deck of cards with the Jack of Spades in his black bag.
However, this King of Diamonds only has numbers and colors, but there is a blank space in the middle, which is clean and reflects a faint light.
In the fantasy world, the drawing board that the girl was painting on was this playing card.
Now that I am holding it in my hand, I feel a mysterious attraction, like a magnet.
"It is indeed the key to the abyss."
Dr. An saw this playing card, his face immediately changed slightly, and he nodded slightly.
Dr. Wang next to him spoke immediately and added in a low voice, "Moreover, it is a key with the characteristics of forced parasitism."
Lu Xin cast doubtful eyes on them.
There was a feeling of familiarity with what they said, but not entirely understood.
"Abyss Team, every ability can be called a key."
Dr. An explained softly, "These keys allow people to use the abyss to achieve all kinds of incredible performances."
"It's like the ability of an esper."
"Each different key can open different levels of abyss and use the authority of the abyss."
"The only person who is good at using playing cards to use this ability is that mysterious organization - Spades Office."
"Infiltrator has investigated some clues about them before."
"It is said that they have a complete set of keys to the abyss, and they can produce them in batches."
"..."
"Batch production?"
This word startled Lu Xin a little, and his mood fluctuated slightly.
Batch production means people with abilities like Xia Chong, or the Black Jack Black Marsh City saw.
How many can you ask for?
"What I care more about is this kind of forced parasitic product..."
As soon as Dr. An finished speaking, Dr. Wang also looked at the playing cards in Lu Xin's hand and whispered, "Parasite products are some strange mental bodies or Pollution Source. Due to various factors, they entered a certain object and formed a stable structure."
"And forced parasitism means creating something that can forcefully pull in these special spiritual powers..."
"This is, in a way, a seal."
"..."
Dr. An's face sank slightly, and he whispered, "This means..."
Dr. Zhang sighed lowly and said, "It means they are in the direction of manufacturing Psychic Parasitic Item. They are about to catch up with us."
It doesn't mean that it is leading. It means that Research Institute also has similar methods?
Or even more advanced?
Lu Xin felt a slight headache for a moment.
What kind of people are these? They either regard the abyss as a power distribution room that can be turned on at will.
Or treat the special mental body as a Pokémon that can be captured at will...
The power born from Mental Mutation is numerous and extremely chaotic, and the minds of these people...
... It seems there are more than Mental Mutation.
"No matter what..."
After a while, Lu Xin sighed and stuffed the black playing cards into his black bag.
Then he turned around and said, "Let's finish investigating that place first!"
After listening to his words, Dr. An and others also turned around and looked down the slope.
After experiencing this confrontation in terms of spiritual power, most of the long-lasting spiritual radiation that existed in this dense forest had been scattered. Similarly, the endless dense forest just now suddenly became much more cheerful.
Looking from this place, they could already see a group of black buildings appearing at the foot of the mountain three or four miles down the slope.
The old site of Research Institute, or in other words, the site of Crimson Moon Research Institute, is at the foot of the mountain.
From a distance, it looks like a dark, old building.
There is a large lake next to it. In the twilight atmosphere, it looks sparkling and strangely quiet.
But unlike the crumbling ruins of other cities, this site looks intact.
You can see a large number of low-rise buildings and long-rusted barbed wire.
It only looks old, not broken.
However, compared to those abandoned cities, this building located at the foot of the mountain has a different kind of lifelessness.
The aura of desolation came to my face in just a glance.
The place has finally arrived.
Does this mean that their investigation team has broken through the taboo line that troubled Research Institute before?
Everyone had such an idea in their hearts.
But then he thought again and shook his head, not necessarily, because the previous investigators may not have arrived here before.
Maybe they'd arrived and even done enough investigating.
However, there is no way to successfully deliver the message back, so the danger may still exist.
"Yes, instead of thinking so much, we should finish our investigation mission first."
Dr. An also breathed a sigh of relief, looked faintly at the buildings below, and whispered, "Let's go!"
It was already dusk now, and the area of Research Institute looked like it was already down the slope. In fact, if they found a way to get there, they would have to walk for at least another thirty minutes. In other words, by the time they arrived, it was likely that they would have already entered the night.
Logically speaking, it would be better to investigate such a strange and strange place during the day.
But then I thought about it, just because I was investigating such a weird place, what was the difference between day and night?
Then, let's go?
With this idea in mind, everyone repackaged their luggage.
After taking a short rest, he drank some water, and then walked down the hillside.
Lu Xin took the initiative to stay at the back of the team to prevent any evil-minded people in the forest from doing anything evil to them while they were on their last short journey out of the forest.
However, the forest behind seems to have been conquered.
Honestly, nothing out of the ordinary.
The towering trees looked at them quietly, their branches stretched out, as if they were sending him off.
Lu Xin felt very calm at this time, probably because he found that he could beat this forest once, and he felt relaxed.
Although the guy hiding in the dark and escaping is a bit worrying.
But after such a collision of forces, Lu Xin is no longer afraid of it.
In addition, not only himself, Lu Xin found that his sister seemed to be in a good mood as well.
She was a little happy running around Sisi, with a look of curiosity and intimacy on her little face. Occasionally, she would suddenly approach and poke Sisi carefully. Then, a bloodshot thread would appear in the heavy down jacket that Sisi put on again, and he would poke her back.
Then the two faced each other, smiling stupidly at the same time.
"These two people..."
Deliberately releasing the "fantasy" ability, Sisi saw his sister's Lu Xin and thought, "How childish..."
It's a good thing that my sister is starting to make friends.
Although my sister has been doing a lot of strange things recently, Lu Xin feels that this kind of strangeness is what she is most happy to see.
Almost half an hour later, they had followed the path to the foot of the mountain, then along the lakeside to the ruins.
He looked up at the gray building complex that had been submerged under Crimson Moon. It was tall and desolate.
Crimson Moon stayed quietly in the sky, half blocked by the mountains, looking like he was a little scared and hiding.
This resulted in Research Institute's building being almost entirely buried in deep darkness. The trees in the surrounding forest are like rows of dark pacesetters, standing behind this building. He guarded her loyally and watched all comers.
Faintly, Lu Xin suddenly felt a strange emotion welling up in his heart.
When looking at Research Institute from this angle, it should be a particularly strange place.
However, he felt an unprecedented sense of familiarity.
When he looked at this building, a strange throbbing emerged in his heart.
This is obviously just a deserted old building that doesn't even feel weird.
But in Lu Xin's eyes, it seemed to be breathing and squirming.
On those buildings, the dark windows were like eyes, hiding in the darkness, quietly looking at themselves.
Am I too nervous?
Lu Xin stared at the dark window for a long time, and suddenly felt a little ridiculous.
Shaking his head slightly, he turned around.
But at this moment, a voice suddenly rang clearly in my ears. "You are finally back..."
"Uh-huh!"
Lu Xin suddenly turned around and stared at Research Institute, and the hairs on his back stood up.
It's the last day of the month, please vote, Old Ghost has been so popular recently.
