"Mental pollution, mental mutation?"<br><br><br>Luke Sin sat honestly in his seat, showing a somewhat surprised, yet bewildered expression on his face.<br><br><br>Growing up in this city, he naturally knew that the world with the red moon in the sky was different from before. He often heard colleagues or others talk about various mysterious incidents, like ghost encounters or crazed madmen outside the city, and the rangers of the wasteland wreaking havoc. However, in his view, those stories were mostly rumors, and life was always suffocating, yet stable.<br><br><br>Though he had the company of "family" around him, it seemed somewhat abnormal.<br><br><br>Even though his sister often crawled around like a ghost, frequently bringing him some strange occurrences, he had never thought that the world had become so abnormal that even the mind could be polluted and spread like a disease.<br><br><br>As he observed Luke Sin's expression, Chen Jing gave him some time to process.<br><br><br>Among all the people she had met, the young man before her undoubtedly counted as the calmest and most normal.<br><br><br>Though she had already witnessed the madness beneath his calm demeanor.<br><br><br>But she had seen many such people.<br><br><br>As long as they could remain rational during normal communication and when facing mental monsters, it was considered good.<br><br><br>"In the previous test, although we had already pre-assessed you and confirmed that with your mental strength, a first-class mind disruption area would be hard-pressed to harm you, we still prepared emergency response measures. If you couldn't hold on, someone would help you solve the problem. But you resolved the street corner café pollution incident all by yourself before our people could take action!"<br><br><br>"Your performance exceeded our expectations!"<br><br><br>"We need people like you now to help solve the pollution incidents between the main city of Qinggang and the five satellite cities..."<br><br><br>After explaining, Chen Jing slightly leaned back, chest expanding, looking at Luke Sin with calm appreciation.<br><br><br>"And that's the reason I'm sitting here, ready to recruit you."<br><br><br>"..."<br><br><br>Her posture made Luke Sin subconsciously glance, thinking to himself, "That's a big chest."<br><br><br>Chen Jing noticed Luke Sin’s shifting gaze and gave an internal assessment, "Lustful intent, danger index down by ten percent."<br><br><br>"Is it really because I handled the café monster, they decided to recruit me? Could there be other standards? Besides, the contamination she mentioned, is it the reason for the problems I'm encountering now? Does that mean they can help me?"<br><br><br>Thinking carefully, Luke Sin cautiously asked, "What are your criteria for passing the assessment?"<br><br><br>...<br><br><br>Chen Jing didn't expect Luke Sin to have so many questions. She was there to recruit, not intending to say much.<br><br><br>But since he asked, she replied, "It's to see if you lose control."<br><br><br>"It has been determined that mental mutants are somewhat connected to mental monsters, and even those wandering madmen outside the city. And that connection stems from the red moon in the sky. Therefore, we need to be cautious about the connection. Our assessment is to see your control over your powers. If you can control it, only then will we recruit you!"<br><br><br>Luke Sin thought briefly, then quickly asked, "What if someone loses control?"<br><br><br>Chen Jing paused, looking at Luke Sin, "Then you will become a new source of pollution!"<br><br><br>Luke Sin was slightly scared.<br><br><br>Chen Jing quietly observed the young man in front of her, capturing every expression.<br><br><br>He seemed like a very suitable recruit...<br><br><br>His initial potential wasn't the strongest, but judging by the café incident, he utilized his ability the best. As a Spider Mutator, he solved a mental monster singlehandedly without other assistance. Although he lured the mental monster when it was about to escape, making it seem somewhat odd, isn't everyone a little odd?<br><br><br>Most importantly, he seemed interested in these matters, which made it easy to persuade him.<br><br><br>"I'm quite curious about what you said."<br><br><br>"And I've indeed always wanted to find a part-time job to do..."<br><br><br>At this point, after pondering for a long time, Luke Sin slowly shook his head, saying, "But there's one thing I have to tell you..."<br><br><br>"Actually, I have no ability..."<br><br><br>"..."<br><br><br>Chen Jing couldn't help but frown.<br><br><br>Even at this stage, he still denied it, indicating he wasn't as honest as he appeared, a bit troublesome...<br><br><br>Then she heard Luke Sin continue, "Actually, my ability is borrowed from my sister."<br><br><br>Chen Jing's gaze slightly focused, hesitated for a moment, then tapped the table lightly, "Your sister is?"<br><br><br>Luke Sin looked back at Chen Jing, slowly answering, "The one who helped me escape just now, that's my sister. She's always with me."<br><br><br>Chen Jing seemed a bit taken aback, displaying a touch of solemnity.<br><br><br>"Not just my sister..."<br><br><br>Luke Sin said this, then seriously added, "There's also my mom, dad, and we always live together!"<br><br><br>Chen Jing's hackles slightly rose.<br><br><br>At this moment, in her left earpiece, a faint metallic silver piece emitted an urgent voice, "Colonel Chen, you must make the final assessment on him. If he indeed harbors severe signs of split personality disorder, this indicates he might always be teetering on the brink of losing control. We not only cannot recruit and guide him, but must eliminate him quickly to prevent a greater disaster!"<br><br><br>...<br><br><br>Chen Jing's face showed no emotion for a long time.<br><br><br>However, no one knew her entire body tensed, even instinctively resting her hand on her gun.<br><br><br>Long ago, she knew Luke Sin harbored many secrets.<br><br><br>In her bag was an old digital camera capturing many images at the subway station.<br><br><br>Hence, she deeply understood the madness the seemingly harmless young man concealed...<br><br><br>Moreover, even backstage assessment of this young man wasn't optimistic.<br><br><br>In the café incident, the ability he displayed against the contaminated was only his precise mental control over the body, lacking the previously observed "Hidden Psi Power," whether he was deliberately hiding it or hasn't mastered it yet.<br><br><br>Most importantly, there was a very bizarre incident in the prior observation of Luke Sin.<br><br><br>A dream weaver once tried to evaluate Luke Sin's psyche through his dreamscape.<br><br><br>But the dream weaver never woke up.<br><br><br>He directly became a corpse in slumber, detecting no residual psychic energy. In past experiences, even if he was killed within Luke Sin's dream, some psychic energy would remain detectable, yet he disappeared cleanly, so much that Professor Bai couldn't determine whether the dream weaver’s death was connected to the seemingly harmless young man before her.<br><br><br>After all, the current understanding of mental mutants' abilities wasn't deep, and accidents weren't uncommon.<br><br><br>Nonetheless, these issues led to highly dangerous evaluations of Luke Sin.<br><br><br>Especially now, when he displayed tendencies of multiple personality disorders?<br><br><br>But...<br><br><br>It wasn't easy to find such a potential "mental mutant," casually eliminating him felt wrong to Chen Jing. Yet, she also understood the greater the potential, the more disastrous the consequences of losing control.<br><br><br>Hence, after a long silence, she slightly adjusted her sitting posture.<br><br><br>At this time, her gaze seemed slightly sharp.<br><br><br>Taking a deep breath, she suddenly looked at Luke Sin calmly, "Do you know, I've reviewed your files and observed you? Since the moon orphanage was destroyed, you've always lived alone. Your parents and sister are nonexistent, merely your imagination. Not only them, but even the old building you claim to reside in, you live there alone!"<br><br><br>Saying this, she felt a little tense, pupils faintly turning red, signaling a red moon.<br><br><br>Unveiling certain delusions posed significant risks.<br><br><br>She knew people with control issues were most dangerous when confronted with truths. Eighty percent would lose control then.<br><br><br>She readied herself.<br><br><br>Unexpectedly, Luke Sin sat quietly without the slightest tension or surprise.<br><br><br>"I know."<br><br><br>Luke Sin responded to the issue with calmness, "I realized quite some time ago that others can't see them."<br><br><br>Chen Jing's expression turned peculiar.<br><br><br>Yet Luke Sin suddenly smiled, "But while you can't see them, I can. I not only see but also talk and interact with them. When alone, we eat together, watch TV together, and when danger arises, they appear to protect me. So, tell me, can such family members be said to not exist?"<br><br><br>Chen Jing opened her mouth, experienced as she was, found herself at a loss for words.)
