Starting from the Red Moon

"Mental illnesses can also be contagious?"

Lu Xin listened to Chen Jing's words, thought of his own state, and his mood suddenly fluctuated.

"Yes, this is the origin of the definition of 'pollution'!"

"Depending on the source of pollution, the symptoms of pollution are also different, but each one is very scary and tricky. On the surface, they may look like ordinary people, but irreversible changes have occurred inside. More importantly, they are different from the lunatics outside the wall. They live with us. I don't know when they will break out and infect other people around them!"

Chen Jing nodded and explained slowly: "Just like the people you saw in the cafe just now!"

"The mental monster in the corner cafe, the initial mutation time is uncertain. When we found him, fifteen people had developed extreme depression and chose to commit suicide because of his infection. It was because of these people who committed suicide that we noticed the existence of this monster. However, when we found him, thirty-seven people were deeply infected!"

"These 37 people are seriously contaminated. If we give them a physical examination, we will find that all their physical signs are normal, but if we do a psychological assessment, we will find that they have all been seriously damaged to the point of being irreversible. They are still alive, but in fact they are completely different from normal people. So we can only seal off this block to prevent them from contaminating other people!"

Lu Xin listened and was slightly shocked: "Then the fate of these people is..."

"Death!"

Chen Jing whispered: "If it is only a shallow infection, they will fall into depression, and sometimes they can even notice something is wrong. Although the mortality rate of such an infection is still very high, there is still a chance of cure. Those people before, they were too deeply in contact with the monster and had completely lost their self-awareness, so there is no possibility and necessity for treatment..."

"In the plan, they are all targets to be cleaned up!"

"..."

Lu Xin couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this: "Even killing that monster won't work?"

"Eliminating the source of pollution does not mean that the contaminated person will be cured immediately."

Chen Jing paused for a moment, looked at Lu Xin and said, "The spirit monster is only the source of pollution. All other polluted people or things are also in danger of pollution. The one you killed in the subway station before was the original source of pollution. After it died, those deeply infected people would flee in all directions. As long as one escapes, it is still possible to develop into a new source of pollution!"

"By then, the pollution will still exist, which means that the spirit monster is still alive!"

As Chen Jing said this, he smiled and said, "But don't worry, the residents around have long been cleared, and we have arranged a large number of armed forces to guard every important road. None of the deeply infected people escaped. Compared with the spirit monster itself, their power is much smaller and can still be killed by ordinary thermal weapons, and it is not so easy to infect others. "

"..."

Lu Xin finally understood why the other "customers" suddenly thought of escaping after the coffee shop clerk died.

Could it be that the spirit monster realized that it was bound to die, so it let the other infected people escape and prepare for rebirth?

If that's the case, why doesn't it just leave an infected person outside to help itself rebirth at any time?

"The intelligence of a first-level spirit monster is not that high!"

Chen Jing seemed to know what he wanted to ask, and explained with a smile: "They will only subconsciously infect others, and the severely infected people will also subconsciously gather around him, like a whole, dominated by his consciousness, until the main body is killed, and then they will lose the influence of the main body and develop a certain degree of autonomous consciousness, but at this time, it is often too late. "

"So that's it! "

Lu Xin nodded, he slowly calmed down his emotions, but couldn't help asking the question he had always wanted to ask:

"Since it's so dangerous, then you, you arranged for me to go in, aren't you afraid that I will also be...contaminated?"

"..."

Faced with this question, Chen Jing was not surprised at all, and was even a little surprised that Lu Xin asked it at this time.

"You won't be contaminated!"

She put out the cigarette in her hand, looked at Lu Xin and said: "Or, you have been contaminated!"

Lu Xin's eyes were a little confused for a moment: "What?"

"Our assessment is not to send you to death, but for two purposes!"

Chen Jing answered carefully: "One, to determine your ability, and two, to see if you will lose control!"

"The Red Moon Incident has brought about mental changes! "

"And the mental mutation leads to two consequences. One is the emergence of mental monsters. They cannot control their mental power and will affect the people around them, posing a great threat to Gaochengqiang and the surviving humans in the world now;"

"The second consequence is the emergence of mutants who master mental power and have mental abilities!"

"..."

As she said, she took the document, turned a page, and pushed it in front of Lu Xin.

Lu Xin saw that it was a lot of complex data, as well as the assessment of various matters, etc. When he was so confused, he scanned it and could only see his own photo, address, age information, and huge "spider system" characters on it.

...

...

Chen Jing lit another cigarette, waved her hand to disperse the smoke in front of her, and said: "You are a mental mutant!"

"In the analysis of your abilities, the first ability is the precise control of the mind over the body! "

"After the Red Moon incident, some people's spirits became stronger and stronger. With strong spirit power, they can better control their bodies, and even control every muscle and every bone in their bodies. This is a very scary ability!"

"Before the Red Moon incident, the best athletes in the world only had about 10% control over their bodies!"

"But now, more and more people can better control their bodies!"

"There is a person in our action team, code-named 'Gecko'. His control over his body has reached 80%, which makes him have unimaginable power for ordinary people. He can dodge bullets and control various firearms almost perfectly. He can pass through a hole as big as a teacup and climb on the wall as if ignoring gravity!"

"..."

"After observation, you also have similar abilities! "

Chen Jing explained, pointing to a part of the content, and said to Lu Xin: "This ability, we call it spider system, means that they can control their muscles as accurately as spiders, improve speed and reaction, and do things that ordinary people can't do!"

"With this ability, your ability to deal with crises and weirdness is greatly enhanced!"

"And as a mentally abnormal person, you can also easily discover the existence of mental monsters and get rid of danger!"

As she said, she looked at Lu Xin seriously and said: "So, you are very suitable for pollution cleanup work!"
