From a distance, Lu Ban glanced at the box placed in the warehouse.

In this world that is infinitely close to reality, such a pollutant has extremely destructive power.

Lu Ban had seen some imaginary monsters spontaneously created by netizens on the Internet before. Some of them had the power of meme transmission. Simply put, in addition to direct contact, they can be spread through vision, hearing, and even names.

It looks mysterious, but according to scientific theory, the spread of these monsters and abnormal things is actually based on knowledge. Whether you see them with your eyes, hear them with your ears, or just know the name, you have obtained the corresponding information, and the corresponding pollution will naturally come to you.

So, at least here, Lu Ban verified the second law of the alien world.

"So what is the First Law?"

Shia asked curiously.

“Pollution cannot be eliminated. Only stronger pollution can cover weaker pollution.”

Lu Ban answered, looking at Xia with some surprise.

"Why are you here?"

"It's summer vacation, and I have nothing to do, so I came to help."

In the police station, Xia was sitting in front of an air-conditioning cabinet. She carelessly opened her collar to let the cold wind pour into her clothes and quickly cool her down.

"help?"

Hongye on the side didn't quite understand.

After Lu Ban was discharged from the hospital, they took Trist's car to the police station, where they saw Xia who had just arrived.

"She studied psychology in college, and sometimes she comes to help analyze some cases. Uh, don't go out and say anything like the police leaked case information to college girls."

Drizzt gave a warning.

"It's okay, they are both still high school students."

Lu Ban pointed at Hongye and Amber.

To be honest, he didn't want these two people to get involved in these dangerous events. Unlike the real world, Amber and Red Leaf in this place did not have the power to control pure fire, nor did they have any resistance to pollution. They were just two ordinary girls.

"You two can go to the reception room and wait for a while, or go home. I need to discuss something with Lao Cui, uh, Officer Cui."

So Lu Ban said.

Hongye glanced at Lu Ban, then at Amber.

"I'll do whatever Amber says."

Amber looked at Lu Ban, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.

She tugged at the corner of Lu Ban's clothes, motioning him to go aside.

Lu Ban followed to the corner of the office and heard Amber mumbling softly.

"Will you be in danger again?"

Obviously, she was very worried that Lu Ban would faint again like before. When Amber saw Lu Ban being carried into the ambulance, she almost had a heart attack.

And now, Lu Ban still has to continue investigating this matter, and it is obvious that this will definitely lead to danger.

"meeting."

Lu Ban spoke the truth. He knew very well that there was no point in lying at this time. There was no need for him and Amber to deceive each other.

"Then I want to go with you too."

Amber was silent for a moment, then spoke.

She did not stop Lu Ban, because Amber knew very well that facing such a thing, Lu Ban would never choose to give up.

He has his own persistence.

Therefore, he could only stay with Lu Ban, even if there was an endless abyss ahead.

It was the only thing she could do.

“…”

Lu Ban wanted to persuade her, but he also knew that no matter this was an illusion woven from his memories or some foreign land, as long as Amber was still the Amber he was familiar with, Lu Ban would not be able to persuade her.

"You and Hongye, don't run around."

That’s all Lu Ban could say.

"Um."

Amber nodded obediently.

Lu Ban asked Hongye to accompany Amber to the reception room and wait, then looked at Trist.

"Uh, if I participate like this now, will it be considered as a violation for you?"

He gestured to Xia, who had rested and was fully alive.

"It's okay. We can issue you a certificate of assisting the investigation and make you our witness."

Drizzt said.

“So convenient.”

Lu Ban sighed.

"That's how she did it, and this kind of assistance in the investigation can be anonymous by protecting witnesses, and no one will come to trouble you."

Trist pointed at Xia who was standing beside him, then took out a file bag and took out some old documents.

"I have entered part of the previous files into the computer. Let's take a look at these paper files first."

Although paperless technology is now advocated, ten years ago, a lot of information was still kept in paper form, and some transcripts and confessions could be viewed at any time.

Lu Ban flipped through the documents.

The businessman couple who lost their child had obviously lost their minds. Their testimonies were somewhat confusing and needed repeated confirmation and guidance to form logical entries.

That makes sense.

A child of their own age was gone just like that, and in an extremely tragic way, the body was dismembered. Any parent would have a mental breakdown.

From these testimonies, it is unclear what influence the jade pendant had on the two people.

However, when Lu Ban looked through these testimonies and records, he did not find any description of this jade pendant.

Although the records showed that the couple had lost several pieces of jewelry, the keyword "jade pendant" was not found among them, as if the item had never appeared before.

"Did they conceal the existence of the jade pendant, or did they think that the jade pendant was something else?"

Lu Ban was thinking.

The pollution of this jade pendant is obviously not something that normal humans can withstand. If this businessman couple really touched the jade pendant personally, then their mental state would inevitably be more devastated than if their child had died.

"Where is this couple now?"

Lu Ban asked.

"They should have gone abroad. They left Jiangcheng and settled abroad two years later. We found their contact information, but in order to avoid alerting them, we did not contact them directly."

Drizzt said.

"Alerting the enemy?"

Xia, who was flipping through the files, glanced over here.

Because Trist's words made it seem as if the businessmen were also criminal suspects. As a professional policeman, he shouldn't have made a judgment so early.

"You have also seen the impact of the jade pendant. It is hard to imagine that as a collection, the jade pendant has nothing wrong with it in their hands. So there must be some hidden story."

Drizzt explained.

"Let's contact them directly."

Lu Ban said.

“So direct?”

Trist didn't quite believe Lu Ban.

"If it really was a contaminant from a foreign land, then they would definitely want to retrieve this item. There is no reason for them to just run away."

Lu Ban said.

This pair of businessmen are either victims or insiders. If the former knew that the criminal who hurt their children was brought to justice, they would definitely want to know more, and the latter would definitely want to know the whereabouts of the jade pendant.

"Why do I feel like I've talked too much with you? I also feel like there really is a different world."

Drizzt muttered.

“Maybe there really is.”

Xia suddenly spoke.
