Translator: 549690339

It was already evening by the time Lu Xin arrived at the mining district in the North of the city.

The sun began to set, and the entire estate was painted a dark red that was different from the Crimson Moon.

As soon as the Jeep came to a stop, a staff member immediately came over to help him open the car door. Lu Xin alighted from the vehicle and saw that a police cordon had been set up in the distance. A group of dark residents was waiting behind the cordon. Some of them were looking inside curiously, some were discussing something nervously, and a few of them even looked curious.

At this moment, the entire area around the district had been locked down by armed soldiers.

Led by a police officer with a gun, Lu Xin entered the residential area. When he passed Block C, he saw that the security was even more tight than the outside. Everyone looked as if they were facing a great enemy, but they subconsciously kept their distance from Block C.

“Lu … Mr. Shan Bing, Cheng Hui from the investigation team stationed at satellite city No. 2 is reporting for duty!”

From afar, a soldier in military uniform came up to Lu Xin and saluted him.

“So it’s you.”

Lu Xin recognized the soldier. He was the leader of the investigation team who had investigated Qin ran’s case. He smiled and nodded at the soldier.

“You’re done with your vacation?”

The team leader, Cheng Hui, noticed that Lu Xin was still as relaxed as he had been when they first met. He smiled and said, ‘”‘Because of the in-depth investigation in the city, our vacation was canceled. “Mr. Shan Bing, you saved our lives in the last mission, and we haven’t been able to thank you in person. I didn’t expect you to be here again for this mission!”

Lu Xin chuckled in embarrassment, “”lt’s all for work. You don’t have to be so polite.”

The two of them chatted as they walked inside. Among the soldiers stationed around Building C, Lu Xin saw two other members of the investigation team. Although they were unable to come up to Lu Xin to thank him due to the rules, they still looked at him with kind eyes.

“What’s the exact situation?”

As Lu Xin neared Block C, he stopped outside the innermost security line.

“As for the details …”

Cheng Hui opened his mouth slightly and seemed to have difficulty saying it, We’re not sure!”

“After receiving orders from the headquarters, we immediately rushed over. With the cooperation of the security Department, we have already evacuated the residents of this community. we can already detect obvious mental radiation near Building C. Our original mission was to enter Building C and find out the exact location of the source of the contamination, but … But in the process, we all failed.”

“Failed?”

Lu Xin looked at him in surprise.

He had seen how the investigation team worked before and knew that they were very professional in this area.

“Yes, I am!”

Cheng Hui answered honestly, ” we can now confirm that the contamination should be located on the ninth to twelfth floors of this building. However.

when we approach the contamination source, we feel an inexplicable fear. Even with special protective measures, we can’t resist this fear. When it reaches its limit, we will even feel strong dizziness and collapse …

“So … We can only retreat for now!”

“Just fear?”

Lu Xin felt that something was amiss.

yes, it’s a very strange fear .

Cheng Hui answered slowly, ” there’s no specific horror or image. It’s just a feeling that can’t be removed. The closer we get to the suspected source of the contamination, the more serious the fear becomes. Even though we’ve undergone professional training, we can’t remove or resist this fear. Therefore, we can only apply to the headquarters … Get the special Forces over here.”

Lu Xin had already been trained in the theory of special pollution for a period of time, but it was clearly not enough.

He tapped his earpiece and said, “”What’s the reason?”

In the channel, han Bing’s voice sounded, ” if there’s no specific target to fear and it’s just a feeling, it’s very likely to be the influence of special contamination source 072. It distorted people’s emotions and magnified the sense of fear.

the residents in the mining district are all getting nervous. They must have been affected by the special contamination source 072.

although it’s just a terrifying emotion, if it’s magnified infinitely, it’s easy to make people overly nervous and suspicious. In order to protect themselves, they might even develop a strong hostility towards others, or take the initiative to hurt others…

my suggestion is to find the source of the infection, observe its nature, and then decide whether to clean it up or seal it.

Lu Xin nodded and looked up at Block C.

It was a very ordinary apartment with 12 floors. It looked newer than the old building he lived in and had a simple European style. Although the outside of the building looked like it had not been cleaned for a long time, the real stone paint reflected a fresh color under the dim light. Now that the night was falling, a few Windows with lights on were already prominent.

It was a very ordinary apartment building.

However, when one looked at the building, it did give one a faint creepy feeling.

This feeling could not even be described with words. It appeared inexplicably, but it could really be felt.

It was a feeling that made people subconsciously not want to look at it directly, and even more unwilling to get close to it.

“Alright, I’ll go in and take a look.”

Lu Xin agreed to han Bing’s suggestion.

Cheng Hui and another police officer who seemed to have a high rank and wanted to get close to him but was afraid to do so were surprised by his words. The only difference was that Cheng Hui quickly thought of something and kept his expression.

“Mr. Shan, do you need any special protective equipment?” he asked directly.

“No need,”

Lu Xin shook his head and thought for a moment before saying, “”You guys stay away!”

“Yes!” Cheng Hui immediately became serious.

In fact, Lu Xin didn’t know why he had asked them to stay away from him. It seemed more professional to him.

Fortunately, they did not ask .

Lu Xin tore through the cordon and made his way under the crowd’s watchful eyes as he made his way toward the building. Behind him were countless nervous and curious gazes. Compared to the building, these gazes made him even more nervous.

It was only after he pulled open the heavy anti-theft door and walked into the building that Lu Xin felt a sense of relief.

The corridor was unusually quiet. A few braziers could be seen on the ground, inside of which were paper ashes that had not been completely burned.

It must have been burned by the residents of the building. When they encountered some uncertain problems, people would often place their hopes on ghosts and gods.

Lu Xin walked up to the elevator and saw that the indicator light was still on. It should still be working.

“As we’re not sure if there are other unknown dangers in the special contamination source, it’s not recommended to take the elevator in case we can’t evacuate in time in the event of an emergency … If you really want to take the elevator, it’s best to take it to the fifth floor and then walk up!”

Hearing han Bing’s words, Lu Xin retracted his finger from the elevator and replied softly, “”Alright,” he said.

Then, he walked towards the stairs..
