Polluter

"Ah... ah?!"

This question confused Luo Jun, and his thoughts changed. [Martial World] Is there a constellation in the world? I have read it before on the Internet, and it is said that although the constellations that everyone often talks about are transmitted from the West in modern times, Zhendan also had similar culture in ancient times... But is there a corresponding thing in [Martial World]? I have never heard of it before... Or maybe...

"Stop pretending." Seeing that Luo Jun was hesitant, the bride chuckled, "Others don't know who you Hundred Rivers Sect are, but I know it all... At this time and at this age... you can't be Ningdong Academy who is here to intern, right?"

The bride's words made Luo Jun's eyes widen in surprise.

This guy is from Main World!

"Are you from Yuan Cultivation Society?" Luo Jun asked suspiciously, "Since you are a member of the association, why would you do such a thing? Shouldn't explorers try to keep a low profile?"

"Who said that someone from Main World must be from Yuan Cultivation Society?" The bride snorted and said, "Besides, I haven't been back to Main World for a long time... When was the last time I went back?"

As she spoke, she banged her head and thought, "Six years ago? Or seven years ago?"

How many years?!

Luo Jun said it was impossible. If he lived in [Martial World] for a long time and did not return to Main World, he would be polluted in three months. Let alone six or seven years, he would completely mutate in less than a year and become...

"Polluter..."

Luo Jun's hand has been placed on Hundred Treasure Box, ready to take out Azure Dragon Crescent Blade at any time.

Luo Jun came back to his senses and looked at the bride warily.

"Are you Polluter?"

No... this can't be speed, there is no sign of movement at all, it should be a skill like teleportation.

"I accepted the pollution, betrayed my hometown, and was transformed physically and mentally by another world, and yet I still claim to be awakened?" Luo Jun looked solemn. After entering Ningdong Academy, he also systematically learned a lot of theoretical knowledge, including Polluter.

Looking at the woman with a beautiful smile in front of him, Luo Jun felt a chill and instinctively took two steps back.

"Don't be afraid..." The bride moved and flashed behind Luo Jun so fast that he had no time to react.

"Using your definition, yes..." the bride said with a smile, "But we prefer to call ourselves, Awakened."

Before that, Luo Jun thought that Polluter was just a human being contaminated by alien energy, which could basically be equivalent to a madman, a pervert, or a monster... But in fact, it was not like this.

The predecessors of Polluter are indeed the people of Main World, 99% of whom are former explorers. Due to various reasons, they were stranded in other worlds, suffered a lot of pollution, and finally reached the point of no return and became Polluter.

The pollution effects of Polluter in different worlds are also different. For example, the Polluter of [Savage Wilderness] or [Wasteland] will grow corresponding mutated tissues on their bodies; the Polluter of [Paranormal] will begin to transform their bodies into the underworld and spiritual bodies; the Polluter of [Metropolis], even if their bodies are mechanically modified, will not affect the use of vitality, or even affect their ability to pass Otherworld Gate...

Of course, there are also many Polluter from other worlds, and there is no visible difference in appearance, such as [Martial World]'s Polluter.

But no matter whether there are any changes in appearance, after becoming Polluter, they are no longer human on the inside. Psychologically, they identify more with the contaminated alien world than Main World. Physiologically, Polluter who have adapted to a certain world will begin to rely on this world. Even if they leave this world for too long, they will suffer great pain and even death.

Yes, humans once conducted experiments and forcibly brought the completely mutated Polluter back to Main World. There was no problem at first, but as time went by, he began to have severe rejection reactions, as if he had experienced secondary pollution.

At that time, people thought that this method could purify the pollution and bring Polluter back, but the final result was that no one could withstand the second pollution. All Polluter who were forcibly brought back to Main World would eventually collapse and die after a long enough time...

It can be said that after becoming Polluter, their Main World is no longer their hometown, but the world that polluted it. Their bodies and spirits have become more adapted to that world, and they can even receive calls from Chaos Mission in that world.

Yes, Polluter will also participate in Chaos Mission, but in most cases, it will not be matched with Cultivators of Main World, unless it encounters some special confrontation tasks.

Therefore, rather than saying that Polluter are lunatics and psychopaths whose minds have been tampered with by another world, it is better to say that they are enemies who have changed their stance.

Before entering [Martial World]'s internship, the college emphasized more than once that once you encounter Polluter, you must run away immediately and find the teacher for help. Part of the reason for keeping a low profile when going out is to not attract Polluter's ideas.

But who would have thought that when Luo Jun was investigating the assassination case of Great Shaman, he would actually meet a Polluter!

"I know how Yuan Cultivation Society and the college describe us." The bride smiled, "They probably describe us as dangerous lunatics and terrorists who specialize in hunting down people who come from Main World."

"Hey... we just changed our stance, we didn't become psychopaths... We Awakened do feel uncomfortable with you explorers who secretly come to [Martial World] to cause trouble, but as long as you don't do anything too extreme, I don't want to embarrass you."

As she said that, the bride smiled and said, "This case is indeed caused by me, and it is very involved. I don't want so many innocent people to be harmed because of the death of that scumbag... So, I really hope that a smart little brother like you can dig out the truth."

Luo Jun narrowed his eyes. "So, are you willing to tell me the truth?"

"Then it depends on your performance." The bride stood at the door, as if she was afraid that Luo Jun would escape. "Game It's not over yet, you haven't answered my question yet..."

Luo Jun looked into the bride's eyes and finally sighed, "Taurus..."

"Taurus..." the bride touched her chin. "I'm Scorpio, oops, not particularly friendly, but not bad at all... It's your turn."

Looking at the bride, Luo Jun frowned, thought for a while, and did not activate Dice of Heavenly Secrets.

There is one last chance. If this Polluter suddenly rebels, it is easier to deal with her by leaving a dice... And from the current point of view, she should be inclined to tell herself the truth. The Last One question, it is better to ask it yourself...

"The Last One question...Great Shaman died, why didn't you leave and stayed here to wait for death?"
