“Alright, alright, drive the car out first.”
After making up his mind, Lu Xin looked at the road conditions around him and was slightly worried.
The clearing of this group of spiritual monsters just now had caused quite a commotion.
The mountains nearby had all slid down, and a few large rocks rolled into the middle of the road.
It was a small matter to make potholes on the road, but the main thing was to block the car’s retreat path.
Lu Xin pondered for a moment before turning to look at his sister.
The younger sister was lying on the back seat of the car in a daze and said,”Why are you looking at me?”
“There are a few rocks blocking the way. You go and move them away,” Lu Xin said.
The younger sister sat up, stretched out her head to take a look, and then lay back down.”I’m not going.”
“You . . . ”
Lu Xin had no choice but to look at his father. His father laughed coldly and slowly disappeared.
. He didn’t even answer.
Her mother was sitting in the back seat, her posture was elegant, and she had no intention of helping at all.
Lu Xin was put in a difficult position as he slowly turned to look at doll.
Doll looked at Lu Xin, then at the car, and then at the large rocks on the road.
What a smart girl.
She immediately understood Lu Xin’s intentions and glided over to the few human-sized rocks.
She threw away her umbrella and pushed the stone with her two small hands, starting to push the stone to both sides of the road.
“You can use your mental power to push it,” Lu Xin reminded him helplessly.
Doll turned to look at Lu Xin, and the air around him began to twist and distort.
This power gathered on the big rock and pushed it, making it move.
However, the rock was very stubborn. After moving a little, it obediently stayed where it was, with an overbearing look on its face.
The baby was angry. He picked up the umbrella and knocked on the stone.
“My mental power is still not enough .
Lu Xin shook his head lightly as he watched from the side.
If one’s mental power was strong enough, it could form telekinesis and affect reality.
Doll could fly in the air for the same reason.
As long as she appeared, the people around her would lend her their mental power, so she could use this mental power freely, such as floating in the air, or casting some power similar to mental impact at will.
Simply put, being able to fly was not doll’s privilege.
With sufficient mental power, the aptitude users could use their telekinesis to lift themselves off the ground.
However, most people would not be so wasteful.
Lu Xin suspected that if they were in a crowded place, doll would be able to knock down a building, let alone the rock.
However, the mental monster had disappeared and there was no one around, so doll could only use a small amount of mental power. She could still maintain her toes a few centimeters above the ground, but it was consuming her energy.
She was used to floating in the air, so she didn’t mind the waste of mental power.
Simply put, he didn’t know how to live.
“Why are you angry with the stone …”
Lu Xin scratched his head as he watched doll knock on the rock angrily.
He thought of a question. Why did doll not seem to have borrowed mental power from him?
He glanced at his mother, who was sitting in the car and quietly watching the doll move the stones. She didn’t seem to have the desire to speak.
Lu Xin was already used to it, so she wouldn’t be able to get the words out of her mouth if she didn’t want to.
Lu Xin pushed open the car door and walked to doll’s side. After some consideration, he held doll’s hand gently. Doll looked up at Lu Xin with a curious expression. He did not seem to understand why Lu Xin was holding his hand.
“Can you use my mental power?” Lu Xin asked with a smile.
The doll took a moment to understand Lu Xin’s words. She let Lu Xin hold her hand and turned her head away.
She carefully sized up the rock that was going against her, then focused her attention and pointed at it with the tip of the umbrella.
The wind on the mountain path blew over, but the stone did not move.
Doll turned around and looked at Lu Xin in confusion.
Lu Xin felt a little embarrassed as well. He examined the stone carefully and said, “”Did you use too much strength?”
Doll nodded.
“This …
Lu Xin helplessly let go of the doll’s hand after standing there for a while.
Doll seemed to be unable to use his mental power.
Since he couldn’t borrow it, it wouldn’t be good if he continued to hold her hand.
It looked like he was taking advantage of others, but he wasn’t that kind of person.
I’ll solve the problem …
Seeing that his family had no choice but to accept the mission, Lu Xin had no choice but to accept it.
He silently rummaged through his back and found a crowbar.
What kind of ability is this?
Lu Xin was so tired that he was panting heavily. By the time he finally cleared the path, it was already ten minutes later.
Lu Xin drove his family and the child through the mountain road.
After he was sure that he would not be blocked by the mountains on both sides, he reached out the window and pulled the trigger of the signal gun.
Suddenly, a bullet emitting thick smoke flew into the sky.
It was like a red balloon with a thick gray line rising on the plain.
This was something he had discussed with Chen Jing and the others. After the mission was completed, they would inform each other through the signal flare.
They were easily blocked in the passageway, so they only fired after they came out.
As if in response, after a while, another red signal flare flew up from the depths of the wilderness.
Lu Xin heaved a sigh of relief. This meant that Chen Jing and the others had succeeded.
This was the initial plan. While he drove doll and used her influence to lure the armed forces away, the priest in charge of the second plan of the church of technology would undoubtedly take the initiative or be passive in responding.
This was the opportunity for Chen Jing and the others to find and arrest him.
Initially, Lu Xin was a little worried, but he did not raise any objections to Chen Jings decision.
They were all colleagues, and they were all very capable people.
Division of labor was a very normal thing.
Lu Xin had never thought that he would one day be the one to take all the responsibility.
After confirming their location from the direction the signal flare had flown, Lu Xin floored the accelerator and drove in their direction. Even though he was in a hurry to enter Happy Town, he still decided to meet up with them first.
Work couldn’t be done with passion. There had to be a plan.
After driving past the crowd that was standing in the wilderness, Lu Xin arrived at their side in about 40 minutes.
With one look, he was slightly shocked.
At this time, his colleagues had already gathered and set up a temporary camp in a seemingly solid house.
In addition to Chen Jing, the lizard, the drunkard, and the brat, there was one more person. It was the beautiful woman he had seen at the meeting in Green Harbor. She liked to hold a mirror and put on lipstick when she had nothing to do. Lu Xin still remembered that her code name was witch.
The woman seemed to have been injured, and her shoulder was wrapped in thick bandages.
Leaning against the wall was a man with an ability suppressor around his neck, his hands and feet were injured, and he was handcuffed.
A silver suitcase was placed on the table, and drunkard was looking at it carefully.
“How did you get injured?”
Lu Xin entered the room with the doll and asked with concern, ‘”You were so careless?”
“Swish!”
Everyone in the room turned to look at Lu Xin with strange expressions.
“What do you mean by injured?”
The lizard leaned against the door frame. holding the sniper rifle. and said pitifully, “‘Captain, we were almost wiped out, okay?”
“What?”
Lu Xin’s eyes widened as he turned to look at the man dressed like a priest lying in the corner of the room. “Is he the opponent?”
The lizard nodded with lingering fear.”Yes,”
“Then why are you guys making such a joke?” Lu Xin laughed.
The lizard was speechless.
“How’s the progress on your side?”
Chen Jing raised her head and asked Lu Xin.
As soon as Lu Xin and doll entered the room, she sized up doll carefully.
Seeing that she wasn’t injured, he heaved a sigh of relief and asked Lu Xin about the progress of the mission.
fortunately, the armed forces have already scattered into the wilderness.
“Even if they wanted to come back, they would have to run for half a day,” Lu Xin replied.
“Did you encounter any danger during the mission?” Chen Jing nodded.
“It can’t be considered dangerous.”
Lu Xin thought for a moment before he replied, ” I encountered a few spiritual monsters that crawled out of the abyss. Their spiritual energy levels were around three to five thousand. There were about seven to eight of them. The more dangerous thing is that the wilderness is too open, and they almost escaped .
“Swish!”
Suddenly, everyone in the room looked at his face, their eyes fixed on him.
Lu Xin was a little flustered by their stares and pointed at doll. “It’s true. If you don’t believe me, you can ask her.”
Doll nodded seriously and raised his hand to gesture.
[ description: a very, very big monster. ]
Chen Jing took a deep breath and suppressed the strange feeling in her heart. She said, “”1’11 need to record down the changes you’ve encountered and hand it over to the headquarters. Although it seems to be solved smoothly, the church of technology …”
“It’s really too scary,” she said, shaking her head.
1 can imagine that if we had sent the Army to deal with this matter, the consequences would be unimaginable …
“…”
Lu Xin tried to imagine what would happen if the military were to go up
against the armed forces in the wilderness.
He was a little startled, thinking that this was indeed very scary.
It would be very troublesome for the Army to deal with those things just now.
“How’s the investigation going?” he asked.
Chen Jing said, ” we have captured this person from the church of technology. He should be the ‘priest of wishes’ who was in charge of carrying out the second plan. We have also interrogated him. We can now confirm that the source of the contamination of the surrounding armed forces is this box. Unfortunately, we do not have the conditions to conduct a deep examination and research on this box.
“A chest?”
Lu Xin was a little surprised as he examined the box.
This small box could turn all the armed forces in the gathering point into lunatics?
we didn’t dare to open the box, so we could only study it by observing it from the outside.
At this time, drunkard, who had been sizing up the box for a long time, slowly straightened his back and even lightly thumped it. my ability is to distort other people’s facial features. I’m more sensitive to mental power than others. I have a feeling that there should be a spiritual body in this box that is similar to my ability. However, this spiritual body is more terrifying than my ability … if you have to say what’s in this box …
She frowned slightly, as if she was trying to organize her words. After a while, she said softly, “”Heart.”
The people around her looked at her in confusion.
Drunkard, however, nodded seriously and said, “”1 feel that if we open the box, we might see a pile of hearts.”
“A beating, living heart.”
The surroundings suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at her with a strange expression.
The old man’s words not only didn’t solve everyone’s doubts about the silver suitcase, but it made them feel even more strange.
How could a living person’s heart be placed in a box?
