Lu Xin knew a long time ago that there was a place called Bengbu Port in Satellite City No. 2, but he had never been there. For quite a long time, he was not a person who liked to travel around, and his life of three points and two lines was his normal state for many years.
However, he grew up in Satellite City No. 2 and knew that the reconstruction of Qinggang City benefited from the existence of these ports. When the high-walled city was first built and there were many lunatics and mutant creatures wandering in the wilderness, the transportation of materials in Qinggang City benefited greatly from these ports, and until now, it is still one of the most important transportation ports.
Of course, intensive transportation will definitely bring some invisible problems.
Just like this Mr. Xu.
…
…
When Lu Xin and Chen Jing got out of the car, they saw that the entire port was full of armed soldiers stationed. Lu Xin guessed that they should have been sent here and stationed here as soon as Chen Jing received his call. However, before Chen Jing got the exact news and Lu Xin came here in person, they were not allowed to start the search.
"Where is the painting?"
Chen Jing's pupils were red and somewhat weird under the messy lights of the port.
Xu Xiaoxiao, who had fallen asleep and nestled in Mr. Xu's arms, opened her eyes in confusion and pointed to a place.
Chen Jing looked around, and then two strong warriors came over, holding Xu Xiaoxiao on the left and right.
Then they strode towards the direction she pointed.
Around them, there were three warriors holding plasma weapons in their arms, guarding them tightly.
Soon, they had gone deep into the port, and then found a cabinet where Xu Xiaoxiao hid the painting among the rows of messy cabinets. It was hidden between several rows of tall cabinets and was very inconspicuous. When seeing this cabinet, Mr. Xu also seemed a little helpless. Obviously, this was not the place he had decided to store the goods before. Xu Xiaoxiao's previous story had already explained the truth. She had a strong selfishness, so she hid the painting in a place that even he didn't know.
There were thick iron chains and big locks on the cabinet, but Chen Jing didn't need to give orders. After confirming that the cabinet was the target, the two soldiers beside him had stepped forward and quickly melted the iron chain with a blowtorch that could spray blue flames.
The iron chain slid to the ground with a clatter, which was very obvious in the dead port.
"Let me do it!"
Lu Xin stood up at this time and walked towards the cabinet.
The two soldiers cast a grateful look at him, and after getting Chen Jing's tacit consent, they quietly retreated.
Watching Lu Xin's back as he walked towards the cabinet, Chen Jing's eyes also became a little soft.
If Lu Xin were to describe it, he would definitely think that this was a look that the leader appreciated very much.
...
...
"Squeak..."
Lu Xin opened the door of the cabinet, and a faint cold wind blew out.
At this moment, everyone subconsciously held their breath, and several soldiers even raised their guns.
But there was nothing unusual in the cabinet.
This is a box that looks like it has not been opened for a long time. The things inside are also very simple. In addition to a few wooden frames and a few black handbags piled in a corner of the box, there is only a painting covered with black cloth, quietly leaning on the wooden shelf in the middle of the box. Lu Xin did not see anything strange in the painting, and the detector in Chen Jing's hand did not respond...
Lu Xin walked forward quietly and picked up the painting in the eyes of everyone.
There was no change either.
The painting was very light and ordinary, and only the black cloth covering it made it a little mysterious.
Lu Xin turned his head and looked at Chen Jing.
Chen Jing nodded and said to the side: "Let the support team come in!"
...
...
Soon, the support team's unique heavy and orderly footsteps were heard outside the cabinet. Two people in black protective clothing brought in a flat glass box that was obviously thickened. Then Lu Xin put the painting into the box, and then watched them lock it. He held it in his hands and handed it to Chen Jing. There was a handle on the box, which was just right for Chen Jing to carry.
Seeing this, Lu Xin couldn't help but look at Chen Jing with some worry.
If she is also contaminated...
Chen Jing glanced over, as if she saw through his thoughts, and said lightly: "Don't worry, I won't be contaminated. The research on this painting will only be carried out in a safe environment. And in the process of escorting it, if there is any abnormality, I can resist for a while."
"Besides..."
She turned around, glanced at Lu Xin, and said: "If something really happens, don't you still have it?"
Lu Xin blushed a little, looked away, pretending that he didn't hear this sentence.
"Heh!"
Chen Jing laughed and turned to the others and said, "I will personally escort this painting to the research institute at the headquarters!"
"Escort Mr. Xu and his men back and isolate them temporarily. In addition, all the goods they have in this port must be sealed and transported back to the headquarters by two armed teams. The main city began to strictly investigate all people who had contact with Xu Xiaoxiao. At the same time, notify the administrative office of Satellite City No. 2 that all people related to this smuggling incident in this port must be found out!"
"..."
Every time she said a word, the people next to her agreed and wrote it down carefully.
Then Chen Jing said to Lu Xin, "Come back to the guard hall with me first. The helicopter is ready there."
Lu Xin nodded and followed her out.
When they got on the jeep again, Lu Xin came from the back seat to the co-pilot seat under Chen Jing's gaze and honestly fastened his seat belt.
Chen Jing glanced at him, sat in the driver's seat, and said, "You learn to drive later, and you will drive in the future."
Lu Xin nodded, blushing a little.
In fact, he knew that in the eyes of others, Spider-types should not need to learn to drive specifically, and should be able to do it right away, but he really can't, and it's not good for him to borrow his sister's ability even when driving. In addition, he felt that he should not be as good as Chen Jing in driving.
When the car was on the road again, it could be clearly felt that the defense level seemed to be a little higher. The two black jeeps filled with fully armed soldiers in front led the way, and two cars followed behind.
"So, what exactly is this painting?"
On the road, Lu Xin couldn't help but break the silence in the car and asked, "I thought only living people could become pollution sources."
"Did you solve a pollution source code-named 072 yesterday?"
Chen Jing didn't answer directly, but asked back.
Lu Xin nodded and said, "Yes, that incident was of a low level."
"To some extent, 072 and this painting are essentially the same!"
Chen Jing said, "After a person dies, he becomes matter, but because of some powerful spiritual influence, he can also become a carrier of pollution sources. This shows that matter can also carry spiritual power in some way. The special pollution source No. 072 that you handled yesterday, and even the No. 042 that you handled before, the pollution incident related to Qin Ran, all belong to this category."
"And since the dead can carry spiritual power, some special items can naturally do so. Previous studies have long found that through some ability or some method, some items can carry and store spiritual power. Some people with certain abilities will use this characteristic to do things that they don't need to show up in person."
"Such items are called 'spiritual parasitic items' by us."
"Parasitic items?"
Lu Xin frowned and thought about the relationship inside.
"Yes, it means that a part of the spiritual power is parasitic inside."
"Spiritual power is something with a certain degree of activity, so something with spiritual power is called 'parasitic'!"
Chen Jing explained casually: "Some of our standard weapons are made according to this principle, and you may also use them in the future."
Lu Xin nodded, thinking about what such a parasitic object would look like, and did not speak again.
He did not like the feeling of silence very much, but he was not a character who liked to talk to others all the time.
It has always been like this.
...
...
During their long-interval question and answer, the vehicle had already entered the city and came to a main road. It was obvious that the surrounding street lights gradually increased, and the traffic was also a little more than that of the port road, and it was weaving back and forth.
I don't know how long it took, and when I drove to a traffic light, the vehicle in front suddenly stopped.
Chen Jing waited for a while and couldn't help asking through the intercom: "What happened?"
The intercom came with the driver in front answering: "There was an accident ahead..."
"There's a girl in the middle of the road...proposing?"
