Chen Jing noticed her changes in the rearview mirror and spoke softly, "You should describe that painting to me in detail..."
Her pupils became red again, faintly like two rounds of Crimson Moon in her eyes.
After listening to her words, Xu Xiao Xiao became a little confused again. Mumu said, "It was a red oil painting. It was not created by a well-known artist, and the artist's name was not left on the back, but... but that painting is so beautiful..."
"What is painted above is a chaotic city. The lights are swaying. All the people are running and fighting. All order has been lost. Only distortion and chaos remain in the city. And above the city, occupying about one-third of the entire painting, it is... It is a round of Crimson Moon, which is quietly looking at the city below..."
"It's so wonderful..."
Xu Xiao Xiao's blank face actually showed an intoxicating look. "When I used to appraise a work of art, I would only look at its material, how popular it was before the disaster, its price before the disaster, and its author... But, it wasn't until I saw that oil painting that I felt that none of that was important... none of it was important..."
"What's important is its extremely beautiful feeling..."
"It's like, there was a painter, when Crimson Moon came and everyone started to go crazy, only he... sat quietly by the window, holding a paintbrush, and left all the shock and beauty of the moment Crimson Moon appeared on the canvas..."
"..."
Her voice was originally very dull, lacking some slight cadences and only a dry narration.
But when talking about this painting, it is inexplicably filled with passion and fanaticism.
Even her face, which was extremely pale due to excessive blood loss, now looked a little red and swollen with blood.
This strong contrast made both Lu Xin and Chen Jing feel slightly hairy in their hearts.
She looked like a madman.
Chen Jing was silent for a while, as if sketching the appearance of the painting in his mind, and then said, "What happened next?"
"Later..."
Xu Xiao Xiao was forced to move his attention away from the painting, and became much duller. He murmured, "I'm sure, I like that painting, I want to own it... I didn't want to give it to my father, because I was worried that my father would sell it to others, or lock it up... So I hid it first, and then returned to the city without telling my father, because I wanted to..."
"I want to collect this painting without my father's knowledge..."
"..."
Mr. Xu Hearing this, he sighed deeply and rubbed his face hard.
It was only then that he realized why his daughter had not mentioned the existence of this painting to him when she had just returned to Main City and had not become crazy. In fact, if his daughter had mentioned it from the beginning, then maybe everything would not have turned out like this.
"Dad was not suspicious..."
Xu Xiao Xiao continued to narrate, "And my mood has always been very good. My heart is full of passion, and I especially want to find someone to share it with. That feeling seems to be fermenting and brewing in my heart, getting stronger and stronger. So, I finally couldn't help it and called Aqiang, who was on duty at night, into the bedroom. I felt so empty and uncomfortable, and I needed something that could fill me..."
"..."
What she described began to be somewhat explicit, and without the slightest sense of shame.
Mr. Xu had been listening, with an expression of extreme pain on his face. Finally, when Xu Xiao Xiao told how he kept dragging different men into the bathroom at the bar, he trembled and spoke, his voice overpowering Xu Xiao Xiao who was still telling every detail, and said, "I also know what happened next, otherwise... I will tell you..."
"You have not been contaminated, so the facts you tell will be different!"
Chen Jing directly rejected his words and said calmly, "If you can't stand it, you can cover your ears!"
Mr. Xu sighed deeply, leaned down and hugged his head.
"That feeling is getting stronger and stronger..."
"Sometimes, I also realize that this is wrong, and I will feel angry. However, when that feeling occurs, I will feel it occupying my mind. I don't want to think about anything. I hate my father for stopping me. I think he doesn't understand me at all. I don't want to see Wei Chang because I just feel that he is very annoying. I don't like to pretend to be normal in front of him..."
"..."
Chen Jing listened carefully and suddenly spoke softly, "Did you want to do this, or were you forced?"
"Of course I want to do this..."
Xu Xiao Xiao answered without any hesitation, and there was even some strange excitement on his face:
"Before... I didn't even dare to think about it. The thoughts that were suppressed in my heart completely rose. I suddenly felt that nothing was important and I didn't want to care about anything. I just needed to do that, because by doing that, I could fill myself up and fight against the emptiness..."
"That feeling is so wonderful..."
"..."
Xu Xiao Xiao talked about her experience bit by bit. At this time, she became extremely candid.
And from her narration, Lu Xin can also feel the changes in her.
It seemed to penetrate into her heart bit by bit, changing her behavior, from a certain throbbing at the beginning, to becoming indulgent, but still knowing how to cover up her behavior, to later, she gradually no longer felt any shame.
She just wants to pursue that feeling, nothing else matters.
Then, over the course of more than a month, her behavior gradually became crazy and uncontrollable.
Finally, this is how Lu Xin looked when he first saw her.
During this process, even though Chen Jing chose to let her skip the specific details, she still talked about it for a full ten minutes.
That absurd and bizarre description made Lu Xin blush from the beginning to astonishment and shock later on.
"Ding Lingling..."
In this twisted and crazy atmosphere, which made the entire carriage seem a bit depressing, a phone rang.
Xu Xiao Xiao's description was suddenly interrupted, and his eyes looked empty.
Chen Jing wrinkled his head, picked up the satellite phone at hand, and said, "What's the matter?"
After listening for a while, she said neatly, "Follow the previous procedures, I have more important things to do now!"
After saying that, she hung up the phone.
"During the investigation, several traces of Pollution Source were found and have been processed."
Chen Jing explained to Lu Xin casually, thought for a moment, and looked at Xu Xiao Xiao from the rearview mirror.
She did not continue to ask her how she felt when she was contaminated, but asked coldly, "How does it feel after you wake up?"
Xu Xiao Xiao looked blank, and after a while he said, "I remember everything."
"After I woke up, I just felt that that crazy feeling of emptiness had disappeared, but..."
"That wonderful feeling, I still remember, I hope..."
She paused for a moment before continuing, her eyes seeming to light up slightly. "I hope to see that painting again, that extremely beautiful painting, and I hope to change back to the way it was before... I am in pain, and I don't want to be awakened by you..."
"..."
Mr. Xu Listening to her words, his eyes suddenly widened.
He seemed to have no idea that this was the purpose of his daughter's eagerness to see the painting.
Even Lu Xin frowned slightly, as if he understood why Xu Xiao Xiao was awakened with such a strange look on his face.
"The effects that remain after pollution is cleaned up."
Chen Jing said slowly, looking at Mr. Xu from the rearview mirror. "You didn't expect this, right?"
Mr. Xu was a little dull and depressed. After a while, she said, "She... Xiao Xiao She only told me that it was a painting that had never been seen in the world, and that it would become a work of art that shocked the world... She studied this major, so I believe in her vision, and... And she also said that as long as you cover the painting and don't look at it, there will be no problem..."
"..."
At this point, he finally couldn't speak anymore.
Because now she understands that all this is actually her daughter deliberately trying to persuade him.
She is her own daughter, so she naturally knows where her weaknesses are.
Chen Jing was silent for a while and said to Lu Xin, "You did a good job this time."
Lu Xin nodded slightly.
He understood why Chen Jing said this, because of the distortion and weird feeling brought by this painting, and the terrible impact it had on Xu Xiao Xiao. It was hard to imagine that if this painting was brought into Main City and seen by more people, or, one day, it suddenly appeared in an art exhibition, then what kind of harm and distortion it would cause to the entire Qinggang City...
Especially in the end, of the father and daughter, one believed that he had been cured and was doing things based on his own knowledge, and the other believed in his daughter and felt that he had the ability to control all situations. They both thought that they were doing things based on their will.
But they don't know that they are still being affected and their will has been distorted...
"I really didn't expect..."
Mr. Xu's voice also seemed a little dry. "I knew the existence of Pollution Source, but I didn't expect... it would be so serious."
"You've been warned enough!"
Chen Jing replied calmly, "And the reason why you don't care enough is because you haven't seen it with your own eyes."
"You haven't seen it with your own eyes because we take care of these things."
"And while we're dealing with these things, you're causing more trouble for us."
"You can say that you were deceived and influenced, but in the final analysis, it is still because of your own greed!"
"..."
Mr. Xu was immediately speechless, and after a long time he just sighed in regret.
The shell of dignity and arrogance he had at the beginning had been stripped away.
At this moment, the lights ahead illuminated a mess of boxes and warehouses.
Chen Jing took a deep breath and said, "Bangbu Port is here."
