In the darkness, Lu Xin smelled the alcohol on the drunkard's body, and then he understood why she let him live in her room.
Why did she violate the rules, invite him to her house for dinner, and even reveal her true identity? He understood everything.
He couldn't tell whether he was disappointed or relieved. He calmed down and asked in a low voice:
"The monster you are talking about is..."
"..."
"Very strange..."
The drunkard whispered: "At least two super-second-level spiritual monsters come here every night."
"Super-second-level?"
Lu Xin was a little surprised. He had done training in this area, so he naturally understood the classification of spiritual monsters.
Spirit monsters are pollution sources, but they are active and have characteristics such as attack or growth.
As for the classification of spiritual monsters, generally speaking, those with a spiritual level below one thousand belong to the category of first-level spiritual monsters.
Those with a spiritual level exceeding one thousand belong to second-level spiritual monsters.
A level 2 spiritual monster can already have a huge impact on the surroundings.
This is also what Lu Xin doesn't understand. Monsters of this level will usually be detected by the defense system in the high-walled city the moment they appear. How could they just appear here at the drunkard's place and even appear for several days?
…
…
"This matter should be related to what I am investigating…"
The drunkard sat on the edge of the bed in the dark, took the thermos cup, drank slowly, then smacked his lips, shook his head, and looked very comfortable, and then explained in a low voice: "You should have read the basic information before coming here, right? From the beginning of those seemingly difficult to explain cases, I suspected that it was the ability users who were committing the crimes, and began to investigate this matter."
"At first, I thought it was some young man who had just discovered his ability and started to act recklessly, but after investigating for a while, I found that this matter should be related to a mysterious organization called the Hometown Association…"
"…"
"Hometown Association?"
"Mysterious organization?"
After hearing this, Lu Xin's face suddenly became a little strange.
I understand both words, but when they are put together, it feels a bit strange...
The drunkard nodded as a matter of course: "After the change, all kinds of monsters and demons came out..."
"When the situation is chaotic, people tend to form groups, or small groups. So don't think that Qinggang seems to be well-ordered. There are many hidden dangers. The little hooligans on the streets who have nothing to do will form groups, and the transporters in the wilderness will also form groups. The aunties in the community are divided into several camps according to the streets, not to mention those underworld organizations that take advantage of various loopholes to make money..."
"..."
Lu Xin deeply agrees with this. It seems that he has been rumored to have such a background in the company.
Some people even say that he is the illegitimate son of a gangster boss, who kills people without blinking an eye and breaks people's legs if he disagrees with them.
...This kind of rumor is really infuriating.
...But when my sister told me, she looked very gloating.
The drunkard laughed: "However, these people playing house together has nothing to do with us, that is the business of the Security Department. However, if there are wild people with special abilities who are absorbed by them and work for them, then it has something to do with us."
"The boundary between ordinary small gangs and mysterious organizations is that they have no people with special abilities to join."
"..."
Lu Xin nodded.
There is a huge difference between people with special abilities and ordinary people.
Just like the "ghost" he caught before, his ability is not strong, but it is extremely terrifying.
If people with special abilities are allowed to do whatever they want in the crowd, it will definitely cause chaos.
As for those gangsters who form gangs in the city, they are not the ones that the Special Cleanup Department cares about.
Just as Chen Jing had said before when she asked him to do the first investigation task, if the other party was a perverted murderer or something, it would have nothing to do with him. Only matters related to special pollution or people with special abilities would require the Special Cleanup Department to care.
The drunkard whispered, "I have investigated the hometown association during this period. They look like they are just having some sneaky gatherings. In fact, they should be considered a small missionary organization that believes in the "real hometown". However, the person with special abilities in them has not been locked yet, so I didn't make a move and wanted to find him first."
"However, it may be that I was discovered by the other party during my investigation, and he attacked me first..."
Speaking of this, she laughed, "Since three days ago, there have been mental monsters appearing in our community. If I guess correctly, they came here to find me because they knew I had found their traces, so they wanted to silence me..."
"So bold?"
Lu Xin frowned.
Although he had only been in the Special Cleanup Department for a short time, Lu Xin knew how powerful his colleagues were.
Not only did everyone have their own abilities, but they could also mobilize a large number of city defense resources through the Special Cleanup Department.
As a member of the Special Cleanup Department's special operations team, it would be a blessing if he didn't go looking for someone else.
Someone actually came to him?
...
...
"Haha, young man, I've been doing this longer than you. Do you know what's the scariest thing when facing such a thing?"
"It's these weird guys!"
The drunkard had an expression that could see through what the young man was thinking. He laughed and said, "In this world, with such a big red moon hanging in the sky, it makes people abnormal. Not everyone who has gained abilities is willing to be recruited by the Special Cleanup Department. Some people prefer to use their abilities to live the good life they want, and some people regard themselves as the living gods of their mothers..."
"But these are not scary."
"As long as they don't break the law, the Special Cleanup Department won't make things difficult for them. If they break the law, we will still arrest them!"
"Only these people..."
The drunkard pointed to his head, curled his lips, and said, "The brain is broken, and they dare to do anything!"
Lu Xin nodded, and he understood such things.
The affairs of the ability users, like the pollution sources, are handled by the Special Cleanup Department.
Once a wild ability user is discovered, the Special Cleanup Department will track and monitor him, and try to recruit him after confirming his stability.
If the other party does not want to be recruited, they will not be forced, but they will be warned and monitored.
If they use their abilities to gain convenience within a certain range in their lives, the Special Cleanup Department may choose to turn a blind eye to them, but if they cross the red line, they will be expelled directly and asked to leave the high-walled city.
… As for those who make big mistakes, they will be cleaned up.
… Or even more seriously, they will be forcibly absorbed as D-level personnel!
The three words "Special Cleanup Department" do not necessarily have to be interpreted as a special pollution cleaning department.
It can also be understood as a department that is particularly good at cleaning up certain people...
However, after the drunkard's explanation, he understood why the other party dared to attack the drunkard.
It's just strange. Since the other party came to the door, why did the drunkard stay at home so honestly?
According to her level, she can at least apply for an army to guard it, right?
…
…
"It's useless to let those young men in the army come before we understand the other party's ability..."
The drunkard shook his head and said, "And since I have been discovered by the other party and even found my home, I can't hide even if I leave. After all, it's easy for me to leave, but what about Xiao Wu and Xiao Wang at home? It's not easy for them to have a grandfather like me. I can't let them take such risks. Besides, there are so many neighbors around..."
"Of course, the most important point is..."
The drunkard's voice was a little gloomy. It was obviously the voice of a little girl, but it revealed the tone of an old fox.
"They want to find me..."
"But don't I want to take this opportunity to find them?"
"..."
Lu Xin was a little surprised and turned to look.
The drunkard sat on the edge of the bed in the dark, hugged one leg, and turned to look out the window.
Because there were too many floors, although there was a little light in the community, it seemed very weak.
Her delicate face looked like a girl with a hazy sadness…
However, as soon as she opened her mouth, she was full of vicissitudes: "I have been guarding this satellite city No. 4 for several years. My relatives and friends are all here. This place is my home. No matter who he is, as long as he dares to come to my place to make trouble, hehe..."
"I have to let them know that his uncle is still his uncle!"
"..."
"Dang" "Dang" "Dang"
Just at this time, the antique clock in the living room of the drunkard's house rang slowly.
The sound was melodious and slow, and it rang twelve times in total.
"It's almost time..."
The drunkard came to the window and stretched his head forward.
Lu Xin was also curious, so he came to the side and looked at the community downstairs together.
The drunkard's home is a high-end residential area in the No. 4 satellite city. There are street lamps in it, which are more than ten meters apart, making the entire community dim and quiet. Most of the rooms on other floors in the community have turned off the lights, and only a few lights are occasionally on.
The last tail of the bell in the living room disappeared, and the whole room was very quiet.
Subconsciously holding his breath and waiting for a moment, Lu Xin suddenly noticed that the street lights in the community began to flicker.
It was as if the voltage was unstable, trembling a few times, and then directly extinguished quietly.
This extinguishing started from a distance, little by little, from the left and right to the direction of the drunkard's home.
Every time a street lamp went out, a part of the area fell into darkness. It seemed as if there were two invisible monsters, bringing the thick night, and little by little, covering the light of the street lamps inside, until the whole community fell into darkness.
A trace of fresh bloody smell came up from downstairs.
