"What the hell is that?"
After a moment of silence, a commotion suddenly sounded in the cab of the truck.
It was a mixture of angry curses, suppressed shouts, and the sound of starting the car in a hurry.
In the cab, the uncle and nephew, one big and one small, were obviously scared.
No matter who it was, in such a strange and tense dark red night, suddenly came to such a place, saw such a big tree, and the things hanging on the tree... they would probably be scared like this.
The hateful thing was that the car had been turned off at some point, and only the sound of ignition kept coming out, and the lights in front of the car were sometimes bright and sometimes dim.
The uncle and nephew's panting reached the extreme...
Woo...
It was like a cool breeze at night, blowing over, over the waist-deep weeds around, like a sigh of a person.
The person hanging on the tree began to shake slowly at the same time.
There was a tooth-grinding creaking sound where the rope was tied to the tree trunk, and they slowly turned their heads.
Purple face, tongue sticking out because of suffocation, twisted and painful expression, but this expression seems to have undergone some subtle adjustment, making the corners of their mouths slightly open to both sides, and it seems that everyone hanging is smiling.
It seems that when they are hanged, they feel pain and pleasure at the same time.
Facing the eyes of these dead people, the old and the young who were in panic in the cab slowly fell silent.
The screams and curses of fear, and the sound of trying to start the car, all slowly disappeared.
After sitting quietly in the cab for a while, they pushed open the doors from both sides and got out of the car.
[Send red envelopes] Reading benefits are here! You have up to 888 cash red envelopes to be drawn! [Friends Base Camp] Draw red envelopes!
It can be seen that their expressions at this time are very dull.
The eyeballs are strangely turned up, and only a little black pupil can be seen at the top.
But their movements and vision seemed unaffected, and their steps seemed to be affected by some kind of rhythm, and they walked towards the tree together. Whether it was their steps, the frequency of their steps, or even the distance of each step, they were all exactly the same.
They walked under the tree at the same time, raised their heads, as if looking for a suitable position for themselves.
The uncle found it first, and a happy expression appeared on his face.
The young man also found it, with his mouth corners grinning to both sides.
Then they all silently untied their belts...
...
...
"It's so scary..."
Lu Xin rode on the motorcycle, quietly watching the two uncles and nephews who began to put their belts on the branches, and sighed softly.
At the same time, he also analyzed the specific logic in his mind.
"So, this tree is actually also a pollution source?"
"Or, it's not this tree, but something unknown in the tree."
"And its pollution logic is that people who are close to it within a certain range will be affected by some mysterious influence and start to wander around in this area. When they are exhausted or start to wander around, they will be attracted here?"
"When they come here, they will enter the second stage of pollution, or the most important stage?
"..."
When he decided to find this ghost just now, he had actually guessed this possibility.
However, he rode his motorcycle for a long time, went around several circles, and burned a lot of oil, but he still couldn't find this "ghost", or the pollution source.
Regarding this reason, he also did some analysis. There is no doubt that he is under the influence of pollution.
However, he only knows that this pollution source is not far from him, but he can't find its location.
Only by finding the logical chain can we find the pollution source through the analysis of its logic.
This is the same as finding the perverted killer hiding under the bed through the bloodstains on the ground...
...Okay, this analogy is not so appropriate.
Anyway, just when Lu Xin felt sorry for his oil, he met the uncle and nephew.
This is very strange in itself.
If I have been going around in circles, why did I meet people who were not originally in this circle?
The reason is easy to analyze:
It seems to be going around in circles, but my route has changed.
The two circles intersect, and I will meet this uncle and nephew.
So, when I met them for the second time, Lu Xin had already thought of a possible method.
Pollution is purposeful.
Whether it is assimilation or swallowing in a sense.
As long as there is logic, there is a logical end, and that end is the goal.
I have not been able to find the source of pollution, it is very likely because I have not yet met the requirements of this pollution logic.
For example, maybe he could only circle around until he was exhausted and in a trance, and then he would come to the main body of the pollution source. But after all, he was young and strong, so he kept circling around and couldn't meet the standard.
Theoretically, he might find it if he kept circling around.
But Lu Xin didn't want to waste time like this, after all, motorcycles burn oil.
So he decided to ask the two uncles and nephews for help, after all, they looked like they had been circling for a long time.
The underwear was on their heads...
The two of them should have been close to the standard, so as long as they followed them, they could find the pollution source, right?
Of course, Lu Xin didn't expect them to find it so quickly.
It seems that after meeting him, the two of them became more nervous, and they met the conditions faster?
...
...
"Sure enough, the scientific analysis method is most conducive to solving the problem..."
When he sorted out the clues in his mind, the two uncles and nephews were already tiptoeing to put their heads into their belts.
The uncle was short, so his nephew kindly held his waist and helped him to climb up.
Lu Xin did not continue his analysis. He glanced at a red dot on his motorcycle that kept flashing. He knew what was going on, so he looked up at the tree seriously. The lens on his left eye began to flash and change, and the value kept jumping.
Finally, the value stopped at "120", and the red number next to it was: Level 2 pollution source.
The glasses only detect its radiation.
The threat level of the pollution source is determined by radiation.
In general, the lower the number, the higher the pollution level. However, when the Qinggang Special Cleaning Department, or the Lunar Eclipse Research Institute, established the evaluation standard system for these pollution sources, it was already considered that more unknown pollution sources might be discovered. Therefore, they did the opposite and evaluated the low threat as level 1. Every time it exceeded a certain level, the number of its threat level was increased by one.
In this way, there is enough room for evaluating other more powerful pollution sources.
If the radiation is only 120 at such a close distance, then it can be roughly inferred.
Its true spiritual level should be around 1,000.
The power of spiritual radiation, without deliberate control, is generally one-tenth of its own level.
…
"Once the source of pollution is found, the problem will be easy to solve..."
After roughly understanding its pollution logic and its spiritual level, Lu Xin breathed a sigh of relief.
As for the solution...
After a little consideration, Lu Xin took out a revolver from his bag, pulled off the revolver, and took out an ordinary bullet on it. Then he replaced it with a pure black bullet with a delicate surface, which looked like an ink-like bullet.
These were the ten special bullets he applied for when he left the city.
After closing the revolver, Lu Xin raised his hand to aim at the tree and pulled the trigger.
"Bang"
The special bullet flew out and hit the tree trunk firmly, and the dazzling electric light immediately spread along the tree trunk.
The tree seemed to be shaking in pain, and the bodies hanging on it fell down one after another.
"Sizzle, crackle, crackle..."
Half of the tree trunk was burned into charcoal.
But the branches and leaves of the other half suddenly grew wildly.
It seemed that such a quiet tree suddenly became a living thing, swaying its branches under the red moon. On those leaves, mouths grew one after another, like countless tentacles, stretching towards Lu Xin one after another.
"Oh no..."
Lu Xin suddenly realized a very serious problem.
He should have parked the car farther away. Would the bumper be scratched in such a battle?
Fortunately, just when he was thinking about this problem, a happy "hehe" laugh suddenly sounded in the air.
Lu Xin turned his head and saw his sister appeared on the weeds next to him, with round and bright eyes, staring at the front.
"I like my sister the most..."
Lu Xin felt relieved for a while, and then urged: "Hurry up..."
Father and mother were still very reserved, and they would not show up for such a small matter, so they could only urge the sister.
The sister did not move at all, hugged her two little arms in front of her chest, and looked at Lu Xin proudly.
Then she stretched out a hand and pointed forward majestically: "Dog, come on."
"Wow..."
Lu Xin felt the lens of his glasses, which was slightly cold.
Behind the sister, there was a fierce barking of a dog, and a skinless puppy rushed out, leaving a string of bloody footprints wherever it ran, and rushed directly to the half-burned tree, then opened its mouth and bit it hard.
"Squeak", "Squeak", "Squeak"
Lu Xin did not expect that this cute little guy had such a fierce side.
It rushed straight to the tree and bit the half of the tree that had not been burnt, and its teeth went deep into the trunk.
Suddenly, the intact half of the tree trembled as if twitching.
The branches that had stretched out to Lu Xin were retracted, and the branches were like thin snakes, wrapping around the skinless puppy's neck, strangling it hard, deeply into its flesh that was oozing blood, pulling its four claws off the ground and hanging in the air. All the branches "bite" on it at the same time, and drilled into its body as if they had life...
The scene was so scary to watch.
The skinless puppy hanging in the air stretched its body, grinned, and its pupils slightly opened.
...It actually showed an expression of special enjoyment!
...
Lu Xin was a little confused: "Is this dog serious?"
But as if because of his suspicion, his sister had already shouted angrily: "Dog, don't listen!"
The skinless puppy immediately reacted. It was not here to enjoy itself. Its body shuddered, and all the places on its body that were strangled by branches or drilled into it began to ooze out more and more blood. The blood seemed to have its own life, spreading along the branches, and flowing little by little to the entire half of the tree that was not burnt.
The half of the tree seemed to realize something, shaking violently, trying to retract its branches.
But the skinless puppy held it tightly, preventing it from leaving the branches that touched its body. More blood oozed out and quickly flowed to every branch and that half of the branch, as if to dye the branch red.
"Crack, crack, crack..."
The tree soon lost all its vitality.
The shaking branches and leaves gradually froze, and many of them fell down.
…
Half of the trunk was still burning, and the other half seemed to have completely turned into a tree that had been dry for a long time.
"Shua", "Shua", "Shua"
Before Lu Xin could react, the skinless puppy had already run in front of him.
Its eyes were big and innocent, its tongue was hanging out, as if to show goodwill, and its tail was shaking like a windmill.
Lu Xin looked at the puppy seriously, and then at the big tree.
He gradually came to an answer in his heart: "This dog is really not so... serious!"
