Lu Xin has known a place called Bangbu Port in Satellite City No. 2 for a long time, but he has never come to see it. For a long time, he has not been a person who likes to walk around. A three-point and two-line life has been his normal life for many years.

However, as he grew up in Satellite City No. 2, he still knew that the reconstruction of Qinggang City benefited from the existence of these ports. When High Wall City was first built and there were many lunatics and mutated creatures wandering outside in the wilderness, Qinggang City's material transportation benefited greatly from these ports. To this day, this is also one of the most important transportation ports.

Of course, intensive transportation will definitely bring about some invisible problems.

Just like this Mr. Xu.

When Lu Xin and Chen Jing got off the car, they saw that the entire port was already filled with armed soldiers stationed there. Lu Xin guessed that they should be in As soon as Chen Jing received his call, he was sent over and stationed here. However, they were not allowed to start the search until Chen Jing got the exact information and arrived here with Lu Xin in person.

"Where is that painting?"

Chen Jing's pupils looked eerily red under the messy lights of the port.

Xu Xiao Xiao, who had fallen asleep and nestled in Mr. Xu's arms, opened his eyes in confusion, and then pointed to one place.

Chen Jing glanced around, and two strong warriors came over, one on the left and one on the right to hold Xu Xiao Xiao.

Then they strode together in the direction she pointed.

Around them, there were three warriors holding plasma weapons in their arms, closely guarding them.

Soon, they had gone deep into the port, and among the rows of messy boxes, they found the box where Xu Xiao Xiao had hidden the painting. It was hidden among the rows of tall boxes and was very inconspicuous. When Mr. Xu saw this cabinet, he seemed a little helpless. It was obvious that this was not the place he had decided to store his belongings before. Xu Xiao Xiao's previous description had already explained the truth. She had strong selfish motives, so she hid the painting in a place that even he didn't know.

There were thick iron chains and big locks on the cabinet, but there was no need for Chen Jing to give orders. After confirming that the cabinet was the target, the two soldiers around him stepped forward and quickly melted the chains with a blowtorch that could emit blue flames.

The clattering chains slid to the ground, which was very obvious in the dead silence of the port.

"I'll do it!"

Lu Xin stood up at this time and walked towards the cabinet.

The two warriors cast grateful glances at him, and after receiving Chen Jing's acquiescence, quietly retreated.

Looking at the back of Lu Xin walking towards the cabinet, Chen Jing's eyes became a little softer.

If Lu Xin were to describe it, he would definitely feel that this was a look in which the leader appreciated him very much.

"Squeak..."

Lu Xin opened the door of the cabinet, and a faint cold wind blew out.

At this moment, everyone subconsciously held their breath, and several soldiers even picked up the guns in their hands.

But there was nothing unusual in the cabinet.

This is a cabinet that seems to have not been opened for a long time. The contents inside are also very simple. Apart from a few wooden frames and a few black handbags piled in the corner of the cabinet, there is only a painting covered with black cloth, leaning quietly on the wooden shelf in the middle of the cabinet. Lu Xin did not see anything strange on the painting, and the detector in Chen Jing's hand did not respond...

Lu Xin stepped forward softly and picked up the painting under everyone's gaze.

Nothing changes either.

This painting is very light and ordinary. Only the black cloth covering it makes it somewhat mysterious.

Lu Xin turned to look at Chen Jing.

Chen Jing nodded and said to the side, "Let the support team come in!"

Soon, the unique heavy and orderly steps of the support team were heard outside the box. Two people in black protective suits carried an obviously thickened flat glass box in. Then Lu Xin put the painting into the box, and then watched them add a lock to it, and handed it to Chen Jing with both hands. There were handles on the box, which was suitable for Chen Jing to carry.

Lu Xin saw it and couldn't help but look at Chen Jing with some worry.

If she too was contaminated...

Chen Jing glanced over, seeming to see through his thoughts, and said calmly, "Don't worry, I will not be contaminated. The research on this painting will only be carried out in a safe environment. And during the process of escorting it, if there is any abnormality, I can resist for a while."

"Besides..."

She turned around, glanced at Lu Xin, and said, "If something really happened, wouldn't it be you as well?"

Lu Xin suddenly blushed and turned his head to the side, pretending that he didn't hear this sentence.

"Ha!"

Chen Jing laughed, turned to the others and said, "I will personally escort this painting to the headquarters Research Institute!"

"Escort Mr. Xu and the others back and isolate them temporarily. In addition, the goods they still have in this port must be sealed and transported back to the headquarters by two armed teams. Main City begins Strictly investigate all people who have contact with Xu Xiao Xiao. At the same time, notify Administrative Hall of Satellite City No. 2 to find out all the people related to this smuggling incident at this port!"

"..."

Every time she said something, the person next to her agreed and wrote it down carefully.

Then Chen Jing said to Lu Xin, "You go back to the Guard Department with me first, the helicopter has been prepared there."

Lu Xin nodded and followed her out.

When they boarded the jeep again, Lu Xin, under the watchful eyes of Chen Jing, walked from the back seat to the passenger seat and fastened his seat belt obediently.

Chen Jing glanced at him, sat in the driver's seat, and said, "You learn to drive later, and you will be the one to drive from now on."

Lu Xin nodded, blushing a little.

In fact, he knew that in the eyes of others, Spider-type should not have to learn to drive, and should be able to take over, but he really didn't know how to do it, and he couldn't borrow his sister's ability even when driving. Furthermore, he felt that he could not drive as well as Chen Jing.

When the car got on the road again, it could be clearly felt that the level of defense seemed to be higher. Two black jeeps filled with heavily armed soldiers opened the road in front, and two cars followed behind.

"So, what exactly is this painting?"

On the way, Lu Xin couldn't help but break the silence in the car and asked, "I thought only living people could become Pollution Source."

"You solved a piece of code named 072 Pollution Source yesterday?"

Chen Jing did not answer directly, but asked a question.

Lu Xin nodded and said, "Yes, that matter is quite low-level."

"To a certain extent, 072 is essentially consistent with this painting!"

Chen Jing said, "After a person dies, he becomes material, but due to the influence of some powerful spiritual power, he can also become a carrier for Pollution Source. This shows that matter can also carry the material under a certain method. The special Pollution Source you handled yesterday, and even the pollution incident related to No. 041 and Qin Ran you handled yesterday, all fall into this category."

"And since the dead can carry spiritual power, so can some special items. Previous research has long found that through a certain ability or a certain method, some objects can carry and store spiritual power. Some people with abilities will use this trait to do things that they can do without having to show up in person."

"Such an item is called 'Psychic Parasitic Item' by us."

"Parasite?"

Lu Xin frowned and thought about the relationship inside.

"Yes, it means that part of the spiritual power is parasitic in it."

"Spiritual power is something that has a certain activity, so anything that has mental power is called 'parasitism'!"

Chen Jing explained casually, "Some of our standard weapons are made based on this principle, and you may also use them in the future."

Lu Xin nodded, thinking about what such a parasitic product would look like, and did not speak again.

He doesn't really like the feeling of silence, but he's not a character who particularly likes to talk to others all the time.

It's always been like this.

During their long-awaited questions and answers, the vehicle had already entered the city and arrived on a main road. It was obvious that there were more and more street lights around, and the traffic flow was more than that of the port's lane, and the traffic was weaving back and forth.

I don't know how long it took, but when I arrived at a traffic light, the vehicle in front of me suddenly stopped.

Chen Jing waited for a while and couldn't help asking through the intercom, "What happened?"

The driver in front came over the intercom and replied, "There was an accident ahead..."

"There is a girl who is proposing in the middle of the road...?"
