Around, whether it was Chen Jing, Gekko, or several teams of ability users in the central city, they were all shocked by the scene in front of them. They watched Lu Xin walk forward and gently hug the extremely dangerous little girl, and their hearts seemed to jump to their throats.
An indescribable strange feeling suddenly surged into everyone's hearts.
Xia Chong turned around suddenly and cast a look at Chen Jing.
Chen Jing's face at this time was not much better than hers.
For this time, Lu Xin said that he came to visit relatives, and she originally just regarded it as an excuse.
Because she had roughly guessed the purpose of Lu Xin's coming this time, and from Lu Xin's silent attitude, she understood how he would treat this "relative". So, in essence, she still regarded it as a mission.
She also said something like visiting relatives, just to ease Lu Xin's emotions and ease the seriousness of the situation.
But until this time, she saw Lu Xin hugging the little girl, and suddenly realized.
Lu Xin's words of "visiting relatives" were not completely false. .
...
Not only the people around were looking at Lu Xin, but also his sister behind him.
She was worried at first, but when she saw Lu Xin hugging the little girl, her eyes suddenly turned red.
For the first time, there was no playfulness or mischief on her face, only normal sadness.
Under Lu Xin's feet, the shadow that merged with the darkness was also silent at this time, just quietly observing Lu Xin.
However, no one knew what the shadow was thinking.
In the corner on one side, a skinless puppy came out and approached Lu Xin in a sneaky way.
...
"Big..."
The little girl who was hugged tightly by Lu Xin had already grasped the table knife that was inserted into the cement wall, but Lu Xin's hug made her slightly startled, as if she had forgotten to pull the knife out.
Her little face was still full of astonishment and confusion, and even the hostility deep in her heart had not dissipated, but she subconsciously did not struggle, as if she wanted to stay in this embrace.
After an unknown amount of time, she suddenly opened her mouth slowly.
Because she had not spoken for a long time, her voice was hard and vague, and she spoke with great effort.
"Big... big... monster!"
Her little head slowly and forcefully said these three words in Lu Xin's ear.
Lu Xin, who was holding the girl tightly, trembled slightly.
After meeting for so many years, the impression he left on this youngest child was this.
Does she think she is a big monster?
For a moment, he felt that the whole world was empty.
If all the pain in this world was only physical, it would be fine.
A certain consciousness arose.
Lu Xin felt as if his heart was being squeezed by an invisible hand, as if something was missing forever. He had forgotten about it, but suddenly, the memory of it came back to his mind, and it felt so vivid.
That feeling of missing a piece was not healed by time, but became even more empty.
He wanted to roar like a beast, wanted to beat his head hard, and even wanted to dig out his heart to check if the feeling of missing a piece of his heart was real, but he knew very well that it was useless to do these things.
When a strong and vivid pain came, the only thing you could do was to endure it silently and get through it.
The people around him began to retreat.
They felt a strong and deep emotion from Lu Xin, as if it could drown many people.
"Woof..."
The skinless puppy, with courage, suddenly rushed up and bit Lu Xin's calf.
And closed his eyes, never let go, life and death were up to fate.
…
"Brother, she's gone…"
After most of the strong emotions in Lu Xin disappeared, his sister came up carefully.
She gently pulled the corner of Lu Xin's clothes, her eyes just looking at his face.
After a long time, Lu Xin sighed softly.
He looked down and saw that the girl in his arms was gone.
Now he was holding something like crystal, like solidified flesh and blood.
This was the same material as those people who could use the power of the magic cube to turn into geckos in that yard.
Xiaojiu ran away.
She was just a puppet-like thing in front of him.
She was still so afraid of herself.
After all, in her eyes, he was a "big monster".
"Don't blame her."
After a long time, Lu Xin slowly exhaled, then stood up, kicked the skinless puppy several meters away, and his emotions seemed to have been greatly relieved. Looking back and seeing his sister with red eyes, he whispered: "She is very scared."
His sister nodded vigorously and whispered: "She has always been the most timid one."
Lu Xin nodded and looked forward.
...
"Who... who is he?"
Until then, the people around felt the pressure relieved a little.
For a moment, they looked at Lu Xin, who was holding the little girl in the white dress, and even regarded him as a mental pollution bomb of unknown magnitude.
In the eyes of the ability users, feeling the terrible emotions that erupted from Lu Xin at that time was no different from ordinary people looking at a 100-kilogram TNT explosive in front of them, and the fuse was burning happily.
But fortunately, the terrible emotions in Lu Xin slowly disappeared.
They all felt a sense of relief as if they had survived a disaster.
However, they were only slightly relieved.
The two teams of Central City ability users who had just arrived had serious expressions and looked at Xia Chong.
In their eyes, Lu Xin's terrifyingness even exceeded their importance of the mission.
"My colleagues from Qinggang."
Xia Chong looked up at Lu Xin, and her mind seemed complicated.
But she pondered for a moment and only gave such a common explanation.
"Qinggang also sent people in?"
The captains of the two teams looked at each other, then looked at Lu Xin and said, "It's so scary... what are you doing here?"
Lu Xin didn't seem to hear them, and didn't answer, just looked up at the building in front of him.
For a moment, the captains of the two teams didn't dare to ask again.
"We are here to visit his family with him."
At this time, Chen Jing took the initiative to answer his question, slowly stood up, and swept his eyes across the crowd, saying: "It seems that the black table is not as easy to deal with as you thought. The casualties this time should not be in your plan, right?"
"If we continue to go to the laboratory, we may encounter more dangerous things. I think..."
"Should we prepare to join forces in advance?"
"After all, it is the most stupid to join forces when we are in the most desperate situation."
"..."
Several teams looked at each other, and the man in the exquisite suit whispered: "Is Captain Li really dead?"
Xia Chong nodded expressionlessly: "He is dead, and there are also two of his team members, two of my team members, and one of the doctor's team members. We have twelve people who have explored in the front. At this time, six people have died, and more than half of them have been injured or killed."
"Snap!"
The mood of everyone in the field suddenly became a little depressed.
The lady with a strong Gothic style suddenly clenched her teeth and shook the whip in her hand vigorously.
"He... is dead."
The man in the exquisite suit was silent for a long time, and then he sighed softly: "This guy who always arranges the pension issue first every time he cleans up a large pollution source, and always tells us that many people die every day, so it is not surprising that it is our turn to die, finally died. Fortunately, this time, he also arranged the pension in advance like before."
His words did not sound sad, and even sounded like a joke.
But his face was gloomy as if it was about to ooze water, and his palms seemed to be shaking uncontrollably.
"Since Captain Li is dead, then..."
The Gothic lady was also silent for a long time, and then she suddenly looked up at Xia Chong:
"According to our level, you should be the temporary commander-in-chief. Can you still hold on with your current injuries?"
As she spoke, she looked at the doctor and frowned slightly.
Obviously, if Xia Chong must withdraw from the cleanup mission, the doctor should be in charge.
That is obviously a situation that no one wants to see.
"I have no problem."
Xia Chong took a deep breath and looked up at the people around him. Although she was small, she had an unusually strong aura when she spoke. She said in a deep voice: "I will temporarily serve as the commander-in-chief now. It has been confirmed that the laboratory is nearby, so there is no need to explore separately. All the remaining people will gather together and form a small team... Qinggang colleagues, from now on, act with us, and."
She suddenly turned her head to look at Lu Xin and said four words: "...Information sharing!"
"..."
Chen Jing frowned slightly and looked at Xia Chong.
She knew how important the four words Xia Chong added at the end were.
"Don't say anything else. Now in this city, I have the right to make all decisions."
Xia Chong interrupted Chen Jing and said: "Even if you really come here to visit relatives, I will temporarily recruit you now. Because the situation is urgent, and we belong to the central city, according to regulations, we have the power to temporarily recruit Qinggang's action team."
After hearing this, Chen Jing understood that Xia Chong would carry all possible consequences on his shoulders.
She smiled and said, "Okay, Captain Xia Chong."
The others had no objections, and they all looked calm at the building in front of them.
...
"I need to take a leave."
But at this moment, Lu Xin suddenly spoke softly.
The others were slightly startled and turned to look at him.
"I'm on vacation now, and I have some important personal matters to deal with."
Lu Xin spoke calmly, which made the ability users in the central city feel very surprised. The Qinggang ability user in front of them, who spoke calmly and had a natural attitude, was completely different from the person who had just held the little girl and had a strong mental fluctuation.
When he spoke, it seemed that he had made a decision, and his face was expressionless: "So I won't act with you."
"You..."
Xia Chong suddenly turned his head and looked at him, wondering if he was using this excuse to express something.
She just said, "It will be very dangerous for you to act alone."
Lu Xin looked at her quietly and said, "It will also be very dangerous if you act with me."
"..."
The expressions of the people with special abilities in the central city became a little weird.
Every proud person with special abilities would not like to hear such words. However, thinking of how Lu Xin had just scared away the ghostly little girl and how he had a terrible wave when he hugged her, no one refuted.
Xia Chong was silent for a moment, then she turned her head and looked at Chen Jing.
At this time, Chen Jing nodded to her gently and said, "He is a trustworthy person, and the data will not lie."
I don't know if she was explaining to Xia Chong or had other meanings.
Xia Chong understood Chen Jing's meaning in a very short time, looked directly at Lu Xin, and said, "Where are you going?"
Lu Xin was silent for a while, smiled at them, and said, "I'm going to see my relatives."
"You should be careful too."
As he said that, he carried his backpack and walked towards the building in front of him.
He walked directly into the building through the main entrance.
Behind him, his sister trotted a few steps, caught up with him, and held his hand.
The shadow became normal and hid in the darkness.
The skinless puppy who was kicked a few meters away by him and was lying on the ground with his tongue hanging down, was stunned for a while, and then suddenly reacted. Seeing that Lu Xin had gone far away, it jumped up in a hurry, wagging its tail and chasing after him in a hurry.
"..."
The expressions of the ability users in the central city who were left outside were more or less surprised.
They each judged the importance of this building from different directions, and the experience along the way also proved to them the danger of this ruined city. Now entering this most dangerous area, there is no doubt that they need to be most vigilant.
But this Qinggang ability user actually chose to enter from the front?
Especially, he was alone.
"We'd better choose a different route from him."
It was not until Lu Xin walked into the building that Chen Jing breathed a sigh of relief and said to Xia Chong.
"Who is he?"
Xia Chong turned his head and looked at Chen Jing, saying, "Let him in like this, aren't you afraid that it will ruin things?"
"Also, why did he hug that monster?"
"Why is his mental fluctuation so scary?"
"In addition, the zero-ability person is the latest project of the institute. Is he... is he a zero-ability person?"
"I can feel that his state is unstable, so I won't ask him directly, but you, you must give me an explanation!"
"..."
"The question of who he is should not be asked in such an urgent situation."
Facing Xia Chong's series of questions, Chen Jing seemed very relaxed, shook his head, and said, "I can't explain his specific situation to you. I can only tell you that he was not cultivated by Qinggang's institute, but an ordinary mutant."
Many people around, including Xia Chong, instantly cast a look at Chen Jing that said, "You take me for a fool."
Chen Jing remained calm and continued to answer: "As for whether it will be bad, you don't have to worry."
"After all, he has handled many special pollution incidents of various sizes in our Qinggang, with zero violation records, and the highest completion rate of the task has reached A+. In the whole Qinggang, only my performance table is a little better than his."
The people around him felt more deeply that Chen Jing was lying with his eyes open.
Xia Chong frowned, as if weighing something, but in the end he didn't ask anything.
She looked at the back of the building and said, "Let's go."
