"The early logical chain of special pollution No. 096 has been determined."

"Through a gifted rose, the recipient is contaminated and grows in the recipient's emotions."

"When the recipient's emotions reach a certain level, they will be aroused - it cannot be ruled out that someone secretly manipulated the stimulation of Pollution Source, which is why such a large number of pollution incidents broke out at the same time - after the outbreak, the recipients will become the subject of secondary pollution Pollution Source. The pollution phenomenon stimulates the surrounding people and makes them have strange fanatical emotions."

"Couples who are exposed to secondary pollution will have the following symptoms:

"1. Amplify your desire and longing for your lover, and rush to meet her at all costs."

"2. Hug, kiss and other behaviors with your lover to express your strong love for the other person."

"According to the analysis of the existing data, groups that have been contaminated twice will undergo changes within a certain period of time after being contaminated - currently, it is about thirty minutes - and will exhibit the same abnormal behavior, which is specifically manifested as: collective sacrifice for love!"

"Those who are with lovers may have the idea of dying together to prove their love for each other."

"Those who have not found a partner may also have the urge to jump off a tall building in order to prove their love for the other person..."

"..."

When Lu Xin rushed into the high-rise building and took away the mobility of the couples who were going upstairs hand in hand, Han Bing in the channel had already quickly compiled the information and reported it to Lu Xin while submitting it to the superiors. As for the analysis of these data, she has made it as clear as possible, and she has obviously integrated the data submitted by other Action Team, compiled it, and analyzed it.

Nowadays, there are sudden pollution incidents in the city, not only in Wanzhong Mall, but also in several other places. Therefore, the source of intelligence is not only here. The investigation and discovery results of several other places will be summarized and centralized into Information Analysis Team.

"How could it be so complicated..."

Lu Xin asked in a low voice while waving the flagpole in his hand, and "click" sounds sounded from time to time around him.

His voice already sounded a little angry and confused.

The anger is due to the large number of casualties caused by this pollution incident.

They are all living people. They can eat, work, kiss, and grow vegetables. They may also help others, but they are just dead?

The doubts stem from the complexity of the incident.

Special Pollution Event, he has dealt with it a lot, so he is no longer unfamiliar.

But the logical chains I have seen before are either extremely simple, or so bizarre that they cannot be explained at all.

But like the one we encountered now, Special Pollution Event, which actually has the same origin, has another mutation outside the logical chain.

"Because it's man-made..."

In the face of Lu Xin's faint anger, Han Bing's voice on the channel seemed very calm, and seemed to feel a little heavy:

"Even if ordinary Pollution Source appears, it rarely causes such sudden and uncontrollable large-scale chaos."

"And what we are facing now is most likely related to the mysterious oil painting robbery reported by Team Leader Chen not long ago. It should be that the ability users outside the city deliberately arranged this series of Special Pollution Event to cause chaos so that they can escape..."

"Only through people's careful planning can the harm of Pollution Source be brought to the extreme..."

"..."

"Is it that Qin Ran?"

Lu Xin couldn't help but feel a little sinking in his heart and asked in a low voice.

"Yes!"

In the channel, Han Bing said calmly, "An emergency investigation into No. 041 special pollution source has been launched, but there are too few clues to determine anything. What we can confirm now is that the ability users outside the city caused chaos in Satellite City No. 2.

Whatever their purpose, the pollution has been done. "

"All we can do now is try our best to clean up... before more people die!"

"..."

Listening to Han Bing's words, Lu Xin's heart sank slightly, and then the corners of his mouth pursed tightly.

He stopped talking and rushed up to the top floor as quickly as possible along the stairs of the building.

Along the way, he had incapacitated five people.

After he rushed to the roof, he saw three people walking to the edge of the roof.

The person on the left side of the building is a middle-aged man holding a fat woman.

The one on the right is a thin young man.

They were almost on the edge of the tall building.

Lu Xin suddenly forced himself to become nervous and turned to look at his sister.

My sister has been very obedient at this time, or during this process.

It seemed that she also knew that Lu Xin was very concerned at this time, so she not only cooperated fully, but also did not even bother Lu Xin.

At this moment, Lu Xin looked at her, and she immediately understood what Lu Xin meant.

The distance between the left and right sides was too great, and it was impossible for them to save three people at the same time.

So they must be separated temporarily.

After looking at each other and nodding, Lu Xin kicked his legs violently and rushed towards the boy on the right side of the building.

After he rushed out, his sister jumped up from his back and rushed towards the middle-aged couple on the left.

One of them rushed to the young man's side, suddenly hugged his waist, and threw him down less than ten centimeters away from the edge of the building. The other one strangely appeared next to the middle-aged couple on the left and forcibly carried them back.

"I like you, Nan Nan..."

The young man's eyes were confused, he was shouting, and he seemed to be trying to climb to the edge of the building.

There was a sad and desperate expression on his face, and he was holding a photo of a girl in jeans in his hand.

After being hugged back by Lu Xin, he still struggled to climb towards the edge of the building, shouting with a cry in his mouth, "I have said many times that I really like you, but you always don't believe it. Now that I will show you, you should believe that I am sincere..."

"..."

Lu Xin didn't want to talk nonsense with him, picked up a flowerpot from the side and knocked it directly on his head.

"Dang Cang..."

The flower pot was smashed to pieces, and the person fainted. Finally, the fuss stopped.

"Whether she believes you are sincere or not may be different from whether she is with you or not..."

Lu Xin glanced at the photo in his hand, breathed a sigh of relief, and looked towards his sister.

Looking at it this time, his eyes suddenly straightened slightly.

He saw that his sister had tied up the middle-aged couple... the man tied up the woman, and the woman tied up the man.

The old couple has become a mess.

... How did she do it?

"Don't make trouble!"

Lu Xin whispered.

The sister made a face at him, then untied them sullenly.

After untying them, the old couple seemed to be fine. Both their arms and legs were intact and functional.

Lu Xin is even more curious, how did my sister do it?

"Who are you talking to?"

Han Bing's voice sounded nervously on the channel.

"...a boy who wants to jump off a building!"

Lu Xin explained, breathed a sigh of relief, looked up, and then suddenly froze in place.

There was a chill in my heart.

From the top of the building where he was, looking into the distance, he could see several rooftops, high and low.

But now, shadowy figures appear on all the towers.

Some of them are holding hands, walking forward sweetly and happily, some are silent alone, moving forward step by step, and there is even one person who is walking dully, dragging in his hand a person who is crying and struggling while calling for help...

Now, they walked to the edge of the balcony with different expressions and jumped off in a queue.

Some were silent, holding hands and jumping down.

Some yelled angrily, and the shouts stretched from the top of the building into a long arc to the ground.

Some were crying, hugging each other, and falling in each other's arms...

Lu Xin suddenly became a little nervous. When he looked over, he could see at least dozens of people. Looking farther away, it could even be said that there were hundreds of people, but the distance was too far. The roof of the building closest to him was forty or fifty meters away, while the ones farther away were already hundreds or even hundreds of meters away. He could clearly see them, but he couldn't reach them...

The huge space made Lu Xin suddenly feel extremely small and powerless.

"What happened?"

Han Bing saw a certain scene from the camera on Lu Xin's chest, but the distance was too far, so he subconsciously asked.

"I saw... there were many people on the rooftops around..."

Lu Xin's voice seemed slightly difficult. "But I... it's too late to get over..."

In the channel, Han Bing instantly understood the situation Lu Xin was facing.

Her heart sank, and she was stunned for a moment before her voice hurriedly sounded, "You are limited by your abilities, you... don't blame yourself..."

Although she was still comforting Lu Xin, it was obvious that she was also a little panicked.

If you can save it, save it. If you can't save it, it's because it's beyond your ability...

Lu Xin understands this truth, because Old Director also said it before.

However, although he understood it, when he saw the countless people around him standing on the edge of the building.

There was still a strange emotion in my heart.

I don't know whether to describe it as a deep sense of powerlessness or a panic that so many people are about to lose their lives.

This is the first time in a long time that Lu Xin has such strong emotions.

At this moment, the rumble of a helicopter propeller suddenly came from above the head.
