Chapter 174 - Chapter 174 Why did you come so late?

This time, the task worth ten contribution points is to capture this ghost.

From the description of the task, this ability user can be regarded as a ghost living in the body of another person.

According to Han Bing, this ability user of the ghost system has an unknown origin and has been wandering for an unknown period of time. He was first discovered because he actually planned to parasitize on someone else, sneak into the main city, and then was discovered and entered the sight of the Special Cleanup Department.

Qinggang does not allow such an invisible person to wander around.

Originally, this task was personally in charge of Chen Jing, but because she was delayed by other things, it fell into Lu Xin's hands.

The investigation team has been secretly looking for this ghost.

It can be seen that he is very bold and knows that he has attracted the attention of the Special Cleanup Department, but he is still wandering in the satellite city.

It took two days for the investigation team to determine the general range of the ghost's activities and found the target that the ghost is now targeting, and then notified Lu Xin to come over. When he first came, Lu Xin was not sure what the ghost looked like.

Until he came to the girl and saw the changes in the people around her.

He saw the ghost.

Because he saw that there were people approaching the girl from time to time, whispering something to her.

When these people spoke, they would suddenly become another person in his vision.

It was as if countless people came to the girl, changed their faces, and left.

"An invisible ghost that can wander around different people..."

Lu Xin thought silently: "How to capture it?"

This ghost, don't worry too much about him hurting himself.

Just when he approached the girl and was about to hand her a tissue, the ghost suddenly approached him. It seemed that he was going to parasitize himself, but in the end he didn't know what he found and changed his mind temporarily.

Instead, he suddenly grabbed the middle-aged man's arm, scared him, and immediately ran away from the man.

The combat power of the ability users of this system should not be strong, but it is difficult to capture them as they come and go without a trace.

However, after studying the information, Lu Xin has roughly formed an idea.

"We are here."

Lu Xin drove the girl named Li Mengmeng behind him to a tall building in the west of the city.

"Ah…"

The girl seemed to have fallen asleep in the back seat, and was awakened by Lu Xin's call.

She looked around in confusion: "Where is this?"

"It's a hotel."

Lu Xin locked the car carefully, then got out and whispered: "Now, you need to come in with me."

"What?"

Li Mengmeng was startled, looked at Lu Xin warily, and hugged herself subconsciously.

"Don't be so obvious. I won't do anything to you."

Lu Xin whispered to her, then took out a certificate from his pocket.

He blocked it with his body, showed it to Li Mengmeng, and said, "Did you see it?"

Then he explained in a low voice: "There is a seal of Qinggang on it. I am a formal person... Now I need you to come into the hotel with me. You can act more relaxed and don't scare him away... Don't worry, I will help you catch him and solve your problem!"

Perhaps it was Lu Xin's serious expression when he spoke, or the bright seal and steel stamp on the certificate, that made Li Mengmeng finally let down her guard. She looked around in a daze, bit her lip slightly, and jumped off the motorcycle.

Lu Xin smiled and turned to walk into the hotel.

Suddenly, he bent his arm and felt soft at his elbow. It turned out that Li Mengmeng was holding his arm.

"Ah, this..."

Lu Xin was a little surprised, as if he had underestimated the courage of this girl.

"Are you a Taoist priest?"

Li Mengmeng almost leaned her head on Lu Xin's shoulder.

But her whole body was tense, and she remained alert: "You can catch ghosts, right?"

"No."

Lu Xin smiled and whispered: "The book says there are no ghosts, doesn't it?"

"The red moon has appeared, so what else won't appear?"

Li Mengmeng said it subconsciously, and then suddenly realized that she shouldn't say this sentence, and fell silent.

"Don't worry, there won't be ghosts even if the red moon appears."

Lu Xin whispered to comfort: "After all, what may appear may be something more terrifying than a ghost..."

"..."

Li Mengmeng was confused. Was he comforting herself?

...

...

Lu Xin and the little girl named Li Mengmeng walked into the hotel, looking like a real couple.

This hotel is relatively large, mainly featuring couple suites, and the neon lights outside that are full of ambiguous atmosphere can be seen from a distance.

After the disaster, this style is very popular.

Maybe because there are fewer people on business trips, the demand for business hotels has decreased, but because some people's suppressed instincts have been released, the demand for the other side has increased. Most hotels in Satellite City No. 2 are like this.

Lu Xin took the girl who was holding his arm and went straight to the front desk to register and choose a room.

During the whole process, he kept an eye on his surroundings.

He was waiting for the ability user of the ghost system to show up. After all, now he has reached the stage of registration.

What if he really doesn't come, then wouldn't he...

…really have to pay?

Lu Xin really paid the money!

When he handed over two fifty-yuan bills, his brows were tightly furrowed.

Until he and the frightened girl who was clinging to him began to walk towards the elevator, an aunt who was slowly mopping the floor at the elevator door suddenly raised her head, looked at Lu Xin with a cold gaze, and said, "Who are you?"

The cleaner looked like a woman in her fifties. The traces of life on her face made her look older, or tired.

When he entered the hotel just now, Lu Xin noticed her. She was mopping the floor in the lobby and smiled to please everyone she saw. Although no one paid attention to her, she still tried to smile, and then lowered her head and silently did her work.

But at this time, she raised her head slightly, her pupils contracted, and stared at Lu Xin.

That look made people feel chilling.

If you don't see it with your own eyes, it's probably hard to understand. Sometimes changing an expression is like changing a person.

However, in Lu Xin's eyes, she not only changed her expression, but also her face.

At this time, her face turned into a man's, with slightly higher cheekbones and a wider distance between her eyes. She had a cold expression on her face, and some arrogance that could not be concealed. At this time, her eyes were greedily sweeping over the girl next to her.

Lu Xin also looked at him at this time, and after a while, a smile gradually appeared on his face:

"Why are you here so late?"
