Lu Xin joined Chen Jing’s Action Team and investigated the strange attacks on Qin Ran, which led them to a polluted lake. The team uncovered a Super Level 1 Mental Monster, and Lu Xin stayed behind as a monstrous tree emerged from the mud.
Lu Xin joined the Guard Department’s effort to understand his abilities after the Human-shaped Fruit Tree incident, then began a cleanup mission with Gecko. The factory operation left him confronting a dead girl who had become a secondary Pollution Source.
Lu Xin cleared new pollution incidents while investigating the Headless Knight and taking a private commission to examine Mr. Xu’s daughter. The Head Tentacles emerged from her, and Lu Xin and Sister began fighting them.
Lu Xin pursued the Crimson Moon painting after Mr. Xu’s Pollution Source was exposed, but Qin Ran stole it and triggered widespread outbreaks across Qinggang. As Lu Xin and his allies contained the spreading incidents, he descended into a silent crowd beneath the southern wall to investigate an unexplained influence.
Lu Xin stopped the Crying Crowd disaster with Sister’s help, then learned that the escaped attackers might be connected to a runaway laboratory. After his family agreed to pursue them, Lu Xin secured approval for an outside-city mission and prepared to leave with Gecko.
Lu Xin and Gecko tracked the Order of Knights to Blackwater Town, where they captured Chen Zhong and learned that Qin Ran might be hiding in Happy Town. Lu Xin entered the forbidden town alone, found Qin Ran, and tore out his heart, only for Qin Ran to keep laughing.
Lu Xin stopped Qin Ran’s pollution in Happy Town, confronted the Queen, and returned to Qinggang with the stolen painting and documents. After advancing to Level Two Special Talent, he took a ghost-catching mission and used Li Mengmeng as bait to draw out the ghost.
Lu Xin helped the Drunkard expose and capture the True Hometown group by drawing its Mental Monsters to his home. The department reassessed Lu Xin’s abilities and approved his second-stage application, setting up his invitation to a conference in the Main City.
Lu Xin investigated the force behind Vice President Xiao’s cannibalistic nightmares and helped expose Xiao’s stepmother as its source. In Main City, he reunited with Kid and was assigned to care for her, learning that her growing power could threaten all of Qinggang.
Lu Xin and Qinggang uncovered a citywide curse ritual tied to the Sea Nation and faced the Red-robed Apostle, an S-rank Mental Monster threatening to consume Qinggang. Lu Xin brought the Apostle down while Qinggang contained the scattered monsters, then Dr. Jia learned that the Old Captain might still release more of them.
After defeating the Red-robed Apostle, Lu Xin investigated the orphanage’s past and set out for Central City, where he encountered a village ruled by a dancer’s strange power and became trapped in a looping wasteland. The arc leaves him meeting the same two travelers again after realizing they are caught in the same phenomenon.
Lu Xin joined Gao Ting’s convoy, investigated her strange condition, and fought a brain-shaped monster controlling the madmen in White Tower Town. After finding evidence of a forbidden experiment, he hurried the convoy toward Central City as pursuers were sent after them.
Lu Xin investigated the convoy’s disappearances, confronted the Black Table operatives behind them, and uncovered Zhao Hui’s scheme against Gao Ting. After a violent arrest and a Flesh Monster outbreak, Qinggang released Lu Xin to investigate a secret White Tower Town base and Black Table experiments on second-stage Madmen.
Lu Xin, Chen Jing, and Gecko entered Buffalo City to find Black Table’s laboratory and confront Chen Xun, while the city’s mental pollution trapped and attacked the investigating teams. Lu Xin recognized the stitched girl as Little Nineteen and reached Chen Xun, who revealed that he had kept her alive and warned that his Wish Countdown could trigger if disturbed.
Lu Xin confronted the Black Table’s God’s Body experiment in Buffalo City, remembered his promise to Little Nineteen, and stopped the Flesh Monster with Father’s power. After the crisis, the Research Institute identified Lu Xin as a Third Stage Creation and brought him into the search for Professor Wang Jingyun, ending with Xia Chong showing him a dangerous Pollution Source in the abyss.
Lu Xin learned that the Abyss was breaking into reality and agreed to help Qinggang investigate Happy Town. After discovering that an area-wide pollution field had killed the observation station staff and soldiers while making them act alive, he joined forces with the dead to find a way to destroy it.
Lu Xin destroyed the Death Field’s stabilizers and survived the Flowers of Death with help from Kid and Qinggang’s team. As armed forces gathered around Happy Town under a hidden influence, Lu Xin and Doll drew the crowds away while Chen Jing moved to capture the Wish Priest.
Lu Xin and Kid uncovered the Technological Church’s plans in Happy Town and fought to free the Queen from the Archbishop of Calamity. Kid released her pent-up psychic power toward the west, leaving Qinggang to stop the resulting mental turbulence.
Lu Xin destroyed the Museum of Calamities and helped free Queen, then returned to ordinary life in Qinggang before investigating Gao Yan’s contamination. He uncovered a second contaminating presence in the girl Gao Yan had abused, and Mom recognized her as her sister, who may have come to witness approaching extraordinary events.
Lu Xin learned of Qinggang’s Heavenly Kingdom Plan, helped Kid choose to protect the city, and guarded her first major experiment against the Sea Nation’s curse. The Doll expelled the curse into a gigantic mermaid and faced it as a dangerous presence approached from the coastline.
