Facing some people who are invisible and inaudible to others, yet one can see, hear, speak, communicate with, and even touch them, and receive their protection, the question arises: do these people truly exist or not? Chen Jing has seen many individuals with mental mutations and has dealt with numerous cases. She has become accustomed to all sorts of madness and bizarre occurrences, but at this moment, she felt a sense of strangeness. She simply felt that Lu Xin, who was speaking these words, appeared very serious and clear-headed. Completely different sensations such as calmness and madness, normality and peculiarity, were all present in one person. A voice came through the headphones, urging, 'Group Leader Chen, the armed forces are ready. You should make your final assessment for him as soon as possible!' Chen Jing was silent, and Lu Xin, sitting opposite her, was also silent. Both seemed to be pondering many questions. Chen Jing quickly came up with an idea in her mind. She had seen many individuals with mental mutations and had handled many similar cases of mental breakdown, so she was very experienced. Therefore, after seriously contemplating for a while, she looked at Lu Xin earnestly and said, 'I have only one question. If all your abilities come from your family, can you guarantee that they won't influence you arbitrarily?' She did not deny the existence of Lu Xin's 'family,' but simply asked whether these 'family members' would affect him. Lu Xin looked up at her and said, 'You're worried that they will take control of my body, right?'

Chen Jing did not deny it. For her, the most dangerous thing about the person in front of her was that no one knew whether he would suddenly turn into another person. Lu Xin, on the other hand, pondered this issue seriously. Actually, he understood his current state very well. When he first experienced these symptoms, he spent a long time in the library. He read all the books related to "mental illness". It was from these books that he learned that there were so many problems with the human mind, such as Dissociative Identity Disorder, Capgras Delusion Syndrome, Happy Puppet Syndrome, Alice in Wonderland Syndrome, Claustrophobia, and so on. Some he could understand from the literal meaning, while others he had no idea what they meant, but he carefully analyzed the symptoms. Based on what he learned, he diagnosed himself. Were his family members a split from himself? It sounded a bit like it, but Lu Xin also faintly felt that his split was not ordinary. He had always wanted to figure out what was going on with him and whether his symptoms could be cured. So, when he first saw this woman and heard her talk about things like "mental mutation", he was quite hopeful, perhaps they had the ability to cure him, or maybe his condition was explainable in their eyes, not considered madness, but another kind of normality. However, seeing her reaction... Lu Xin knew that his hope was dashed. If he was normal in her eyes, why would she be so vigilant? He didn't like being looked at with such a wary gaze. So, he just weighed his words and slowly replied, "Actually, you don't have to worry, my family, they are all very good people."

"Your sister is a lovely child, fond of toys and always bubbling with energy;" "Father enjoys cooking, he's a man of honesty, always lingering in the kitchen;" "Mother is gentle, never one to argue, preferring to reason with everyone..." "..." Chen Jing watched him answer seriously, her heart filled with an extremely complex sensation. This person was too normal... He was actually describing several completely non-existent people with such seriousness and normalcy... The clearer his descriptions, the more tense Chen Jing felt inside. She lit a cigarette to conceal her emotions, while the earpiece continued to urge her on. There were many choices laid out before her; she could immediately retract the recruitment decision, or she could upgrade the monitoring level of this individual, or even use her ability to eliminate him as a potential threat right here in this sparsely populated little bar. But considering his usual behavior and the current situation of High Wall City, she hesitated for a moment. Ultimately, she made up her mind, took out an envelope from beside her, and pushed it towards Lu Xin, looking into his eyes as she said, "The test arranged for you was my doing, because the results are most objective when the subject is unaware. Therefore, I kept it from you before the test, but you have passed it and also helped us deal with that first-level mental monster." "So, you have completed a mission, and this is your reward!"

Lu Xin was taken aback for a moment. He picked up the envelope and opened the flap to find rolls of banknotes inside. Each note was worth fifty yuan. Lu Xin's expression, which had just shown a hint of disappointment, suddenly lit up with a glint of light. 'This is ten thousand yuan!' Chen Jing saved him the trouble of counting the money and blurted it out. 'Ten thousand?' Lu Xin's face clearly showed a change. After the Red Moon incident, the monetary system had undergone a reshuffle, and now his monthly salary at the company was one thousand. He was even a model employee at the company! 'You deserve it,' Chen Jing said with a smile, looking at Lu Xin's slightly surprised face. 'And with these abilities, you shouldn't have trouble making money!' 'It's still quite difficult...' Lu Xin thought to himself, taking the paper bag and clutching it in his hand, he said, 'I happen to be short of money.' Chen Jing pondered, thinking to herself, 'Liking money, the danger index can be lowered a bit...' Lu Xin clearly seemed a bit nervous, hesitated for a moment, and asked in a low voice, 'Do you always give this much?' 'It will be more than now!'

Chen Jing said, 'This time, the psychic monster has been thoroughly investigated, and we have implemented containment and prevention measures. Even if you don't take action, we can easily eliminate it, which is why we only offered a reward of ten thousand yuan. However, under normal circumstances, when a member of the action team completes an investigation and a clearance mission, the reward we typically approve is around thirty thousand yuan...' 'Thirty thousand...' Lu Xin didn't notice anything else. He was clearly surprised, his expression slightly agitated. 'Yes!' Seeing his reaction, Chen Jing felt even more assured and replied with a smile, 'You won't have to worry about money anymore!' Lu Xin really loved that sentence! ... ... When he left the bar, it wasn't even dark yet, and the red sunset spread across the abandoned city. In the southern sky, the moon with a faint red glow was already hanging on the horizon. 'Ten thousand yuan, just like that?' Lu Xin still felt somewhat incredulous in his heart. He had not known before that he had the ability to earn so much money. However, he liked these funds and needed them very much. With a light sigh of relief, Lu Xin perked up and went to the bus stop, waiting for the number two bus to arrive. Then he swayed and rocked on the bus for an hour until he arrived at the east side of the satellite city, in front of a cluster of low and dilapidated buildings.

Walking through several streets and alleys, past the listless vendors and the drunkards leaning against the corners with bottles in their hands, he arrived at a house. Compared to the surrounding decadence and dilapidation, this house appeared very bright. Perhaps it was because the walls of the house were spray-painted with many cartoon characters in blue and yellow. This was a small orphanage. On the iron gate was a rusty sign that read "Red Moon Primary School"! Lu Xin untangled the barbed wire and entered the primary school. The old security guard in the booth, who was reading a newspaper, heard the noise. Seeing it was Lu Xin, he didn't stop him but just nodded and then continued to lower his head to read the newspaper. This primary school had only one classroom; the other buildings were all dilapidated, piled with miscellaneous items. In fact, it was just a small orphanage, just using such a name. Lu Xin approached the classroom and saw inside a girl sitting in a wheelchair, wearing a white sweater, playing games with a dozen children. Among these children, the oldest was already seven or eight years old, and the youngest was only two or three years old. They were all dressed simply, but their clothes were very clean, and their eyes shone brightly. Playing Eagle Catches Chicks? So childish! Lu Xin didn't disturb them. He put the paper bag into the rusty mailbox at the classroom door. Worried that the girl in the wheelchair inside wouldn't notice, he plucked a wildflower from the side and placed it on top of the mailbox so she would notice that he had been there. Then he quietly left the classroom. Passing by the security booth, the old security guard, without looking up from his newspaper, said, "Couldn't you just tell her directly? Every time it's the same, pulling a handful of flowers to put on top. It's not easy for an old man like me to grow such a pond of flowers, and you're almost pulling them all out..." Lu Xin felt a bit embarrassed and quickly laughed, "I'll come back over the weekend and treat you to a drink, sir!"

"No need!" The old man didn't even glance at him and said, "When you come over, I'll treat you to a drink. We still have peanuts!" "Okay!" Lu Xin smiled and agreed, walking out of the elementary school and slowly heading to the bus stop. "Let's go, I'll give you a ride!" A jeep stopped beside him, and Chen Jing smiled as she opened the car door for him. "Alright then!" Lu Xin agreed, otherwise it would take him at least half an hour to get home. After getting into the car this time, Chen Jing directly threw another bag over. Lu Xin excitedly opened it, but felt a bit disappointed to find it was all documents. Chen Jing looked ahead and naturally said to Lu Xin, "From now on, the action team will preliminarily accept you!" "Uh, okay..." Lu Xin was stunned for a moment, not immediately grasping the situation. And Chen Jing, who was driving, didn't explain much. The first thing a person who has received a "large sum of money" often does is something they crave deeply, which can best reveal a person's true nature. If Lu Xin had used the money to indulge in food and drink, her assessment of him would have been quite ordinary. If he had used the money for something even more indulgent, her assessment of him would have dropped to a very low level, and she would not have chosen to accept him. But this person had given the "large sum of money" he had never had before directly to the elementary school. Chen Jing couldn't imagine what a person like this would be like out of control.
