This time, the mission that was worth ten contribution points was to capture this spirit.
From the description of the mission, the ability user could be seen as a ghost living in another person’s body.
According to han Bing’s introduction, this spirit system ability user had an unknown origin. No one knew how long he had been wandering around.
Initially, he was discovered because he actually planned to parasitize someone else’s body and sneak into the main city. He was then discovered and caught in the eyes of the special Investigation Department.
Qinggang did not allow such an invisible person to wander around.
Originally, Chen Jing was personally in charge of this mission. However, she was delayed by other matters, so it fell into Lu Xin’s hands.
The investigation team had been secretly searching for this ghost.
It was obvious that he was very bold. He knew that he had attracted the attention of the special Investigation Department, but he was still wandering around the satellite town.
In two days, the investigation team had determined the general area of the spirit’s activity and found the target it was currently targeting. They then informed Lu Xin to come over. When he first arrived, Lu Xin was still unsure of what the spirit looked like.
Until he came to the girl’s side and saw the change in the crowd around her.
He saw the spirit.
Because he saw that there were people approaching her from time to time, whispering something to her.
When these people were talking, they would suddenly become another person in his vision.
It was as if countless people had come to the girl, changed their faces, and left.
an invisible ghost that can wander around different people …
Lu Xin thought to himself, How do I capture it?
He didn’t have to worry too much about this ghost hurting him.
Just as he approached the girl and was about to hand her a tissue, the ghost suddenly approached him. It seemed like he was planning to parasitize him, but he changed his mind at the last minute after discovering something.
Instead, it was her sudden grab of the middle-aged man’s arm that scared him and made him immediately escape from the man.
The combat power of the aptitude users of this system should not be strong. However, they came and went without a trace, so it would be difficult to capture them.
However, Lu Xin had a rough idea of what to do after studying the information.
“We’re here.”
Lu Xin drove the girl named Li Mengmeng to a tall building in the West of the city.
The girl seemed to have fallen asleep in the back seat and was jolted awake by Lu Xin’s call.
She looked around in confusion. “Where is this place?”
“It’s a hotel.”
Lu Xin carefully locked the car and got out. “Now, you need to come in with me.”
“What?”
Li Mengmeng was taken aback. She looked at Lu Xin warily and subconsciously hugged herself.
“Don’t be so obvious. I won’t do anything to you.”
Lu Xin said in a low voice as he pulled out a document from his pocket.
He used his body to block it and let Li Mengmeng take a look. “Did you see that?”
He then explained in a low voice,”there’s a stamp of qingang on it, so I’m a legitimate …” Now, I need you to come into the hotel with me. You can look relaxed and don’t scare him away … Don’t worry, I’ll help you catch him and solve your problem!”
Perhaps it was Lu Xin’s serious expression when he spoke, or perhaps it was the bright-colored stamp and steel seal on the identification card, but Li Mengmeng finally let her guard down. She looked around at her surroundings in a daze, bit her lip slightly, and jumped off the motorcycle.
Lu Xin chuckled before turning around and walking back into the hotel.
Suddenly, he bent his arm and felt something soft on his elbow. Li Mengmeng was holding his arm.
“Ah, this .
Lu Xin was a little surprised. It seemed like he had underestimated the girl’s courage.
“Are you a Daoist priest?”
Li Mengmeng almost leaned her head on Lu Xin’s shoulder.
However, her entire body was tensed up and she kept her guard up. “You can catch ghosts, right?”
“The book says there are no ghosts, right?” Lu Xin chuckled and said in a low voice.
Li Mengmeng blurted it out subconsciously, only to suddenly realize that she should not have said it. She fell silent.
“Don’t worry, even if the red Moon appears, there won’t be any ghosts.”
“After all, it could be something even scarier than a ghost,” Lu Xin consoled her in a low voice.
Li Mengmeng was dumbfounded. Was he trying to comfort her?
Lu Xin and the little girl, Li Mengmeng, walked into the hotel. They looked like a real couple.
This hotel was considered relatively large. It mainly had couples ‘suites, and the neon lights full of ambiguous atmosphere outside could be seen from far away.
After the catastrophe, this style became very popular.
It was probably because there were fewer people on business trips, so the demand for business hotels was lower. However, because some people’s suppressed instincts were released, the demand for another aspect increased. Most of the hotels in satellite city No. 2 were like this.
Lu Xin led the girl who was holding his arm to the front desk to register and choose a room.
During the entire process, he paid attention to his surroundings.
He was waiting for the apparition ability user to show up. After all, he was already at the point of registration.
If he really didn’t come, then wouldn’t she be …
Did he really have to pay?
Lu Xin had really paid up!
When he handed over two fifty-yuan notes, he frowned.
It was only when Lu Xin and the frightened girl who was clinging onto him began to make their way to the elevator that an Auntie who was mopping the floor at the entrance suddenly raised her head and glared at Lu Xin coldly.
“Who are you?”
The cleaner seemed to be a woman in her fifties. The traces of life on her face made her look even older, or rather tired.
Lu Xin had already noticed her when they first entered the hotel. She was mopping the floor in the lobby, smiling at everyone she saw. Although no one paid attention to her, she still tried her best to smile and then lowered her head to do her work in silence.
However, she lifted her head slightly and glared at Lu Xin with narrowed eyes.
That gaze made one shudder.
If one didn’t see it with their own eyes, it would be hard to understand. Sometimes, changing one’s expression was like changing into a different person.
However, in Lu Xin’s eyes, not only did she change her expression, but her face had also changed.
At this time, her face had turned into that of a man. His cheekbones were slightly higher, and the distance between his eyes was a little wider. He had a cold expression on his face, but there was also some arrogance that could not be hidden. At this time, his eyes were greedily sweeping over the girl beside him.
Lu Xin turned to look at him, and after a long while, a smile slowly appeared on
his face.
“Why are you only here now?”
