Meteor Street.

Lu Ran Clinic.

A big man with flowery arms was lying on a chair, with his butt half exposed. A nurse sister who weighed 200 pounds expressionlessly pushed the large syringe in her hand to expel the air inside.

As she moved, a few drops of cold liquid fell on the big man's buttocks, making him tremble and a look of fear appeared in his eyes.

Then, the syringe pricked me hard!

"Ah~~~~"

The screams startled Long Qisheng!

Looking at the twisted expression of the big man with flowery arms, Long Qisheng secretly swore in his heart that if he got sick, he would never come to Lu Ran's clinic for treatment...

When she heard the door open, the nurse sister raised her eyelids and glanced at Long Qisheng, then pointed to the second floor with an expressionless face: "Dr. Lu is in the operating room on the second floor."

Long Qisheng went up and happened to see Lu Ran walking out of the operating room pushing a stretcher bed.

There was a woman lying on it. She was wearing a surgical gown, her head was covered with gauze, and her nostrils were exposed.

Listening to the breathing rate, he should be still under anesthesia and not awake.

Looking behind Lu Ran, there was no one around. Long Qisheng was a little surprised: "Doctor Lu, you don't even have an assistant for your surgery?"

"I'm used to it." Lu Ran smiled:

"Performing surgery independently is a must-have ability for every Soul Chaser military doctor. Do you still expect a dedicated surgical assistant in the team for you?"

"Too……"

Lu Ran looked Long Qisheng up and down: "It seems that the first mission went well, not even a scratch."

As he spoke, he pushed the patient towards the observation ward next to him.

Long Qisheng didn't answer his question about the mission, but asked curiously: "What happened to this patient? Has he been disfigured?"

Lu Ran lit a cigarette: "No, I just feel ugly and come to me for plastic surgery."

Long Qisheng was completely shocked: "You can also do plastic surgery?! Do you want to be so versatile?!"

"You have so many skills, so don't overwhelm yourself~"

Pushing the patient into the observation ward, Lu Ran closed the door: "Tell me, what do you want from me?"

Long Qisheng pulled a wheelchair over and sat down, "It's still a matter of Hungry Ghost Syndrome... Doctor Lu, is Hungry Ghost Syndrome related to pollution?"

"How should I say..."

Lu Ran scratched his head: "You are a smart man. You should understand that the output of the farmland within the dome is simply not enough to supply the entire city's food rations."

Long Qisheng nodded: "I know, so the Guards have controlled the price of natural food. It's good for ordinary people like us to be able to eat one meal of natural food a week. Those with poor families have never even eaten it in their lives."

Natural food has always been based on synthetic food."

"Then do you know what the raw materials of those synthetic foods are?"

"Cockroaches, rats, maggots..." After a pause, Long Qisheng added: "Mutated creatures outside the city."

Lu Ran nodded: "So...those mutated creatures are more or less contaminated. Although they have been processed, their meat still contains trace amounts of pollution."

"So Hungry Ghost Syndrome is actually a kind of 'pollution'?" Long Qisheng asked.

"Have you read the Soul Chaser's Manual?"

"Of course." Long Qisheng nodded: "There are two types of pollution, mental pollution and physical pollution. People who are mentally polluted will have their cognition and worldview distorted, but they will be conscious and healthy."

"Physical pollution directly affects the cells, and the lesions extend from the internal organs to the brain cells. When the brain cells develop lesions, the person will lose his mind and become a bloodthirsty madman..."

"Are you trying to say that Hungry Ghost Syndrome is actually a kind of chronic body pollution?"

Lu Ran nodded: "That's right."

Long Qisheng frowned: "This is unreasonable! Why would the Guards do this?! Doesn't this mean that most of the people in the city are at risk of becoming polluters?!"

Lu Ran sighed: "There's nothing we can do about it... we have to let everyone have enough to eat."

"Besides, this kind of pollution is really very mild. Most people's immune systems can resist it, and only a very small number of people will get sick. For the higher-ups, this price is completely bearable."

Long Qi stood up excitedly and shouted excitedly: "If this is the case, there is no cure for this disease!"

Lu Ran spread his hands: "Yes, so Hungry Ghost Syndrome is a terminal disease!"

"But didn't the Shield of Life say...that their research has made breakthrough progress and that they will soon be able to develop a special medicine to cure hunger ghost syndrome?!!"

Long Qisheng couldn't accept this fact!

"I lied to you."

"asshole!!"

Looking at Long Qisheng with fiery eyes, Lu Ran patted him on the shoulder:

"Don't get excited. In fact, there is one thing right. Life Shield has been working hard to completely cure the hungry ghost syndrome. They believe that if there is a medicine that can cure the hungry ghost syndrome in the world, then it must exist in the virtual world.

among."

"After all, pollution is also brought by the virtual world."

"Actually, you will know these things when you officially join the Soul Chaser team and go on missions in high-level areas. If you hadn't asked specifically, I wouldn't have told you."

Long Qisheng looked at him suspiciously: "You didn't lie to me just to comfort me, did you?"

Lu Ran smiled: "What's the point of lying to you now? You will know it soon anyway."

Long Qi grew up and exhaled: "Doctor Lu, in this case, the Shield of Life will definitely have a special team to go to the virtual world to do this! How can I join them?"

"The Soul Chaser has a team dedicated to serving the Shield of Life, called the [Dead Soldiers]."

…

The hot pot restaurant where Wu Hou Dai Long Qisheng ate was opened by a retired soul chaser. As soon as he entered the door, Long Qisheng saw several customers wearing the uniform of a soul chaser.

After saying hello, Wu Hou took Long Qisheng and sat into a quiet box upstairs.

After the waiter left after ordering, Wu Hou held tea and said with a smile: "These private rooms are well soundproofed, so you don't have to worry about being overheard. If you have any questions you don't understand, feel free to ask!"

Long Qisheng was stunned for a moment.

He always felt that this Marquis Wu was a little too enthusiastic about him... What was he trying to do...

However, he really had a lot of questions and wanted to find a senior soul chaser for advice.

After returning home, he checked for information about the Soul Chaser team on the Soul Chaser app, but due to insufficient permissions, he did not find any useful information.

"Captain, I'm very curious about our team of Soul Chasers. Can you tell me about it?"

Wu Hou was immediately happy when he heard this. He was worried about how to bring the topic to the team naturally, but Long Qisheng took the initiative to ask.

If you really want to poop, someone will hand you toilet paper, it’s comfortable~

Originally, team information could not be disclosed to recruits who had not yet passed the probationary period, but Long Qisheng performed so well that his transfer was a certainty, so there was no harm in informing him in advance.

"Since you're interested, I'll tell you about it!"

"The composition of our Soul Chasers is very simple. There are a total of three hundred teams, all commanded by the headquarters. The commander-in-chief of the headquarters is Commander You."

"Three hundred soul chasing teams?! So many?!" Long Qisheng was surprised.

Wu Hou smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Is it much?"

"Three hundred teams only have 5,000 people, which is a drop in the bucket compared to the city's population of 20 million!"

"Do you know how big the world outside the city is? With so many people spread out, not even a single wave will splash!"

"This..." Long Qisheng was even more surprised: "Why are there so few people? I think the Guards recruit new people every month!"

"You may not be able to become a Soul Chaser if you pass the interview, and you may not be able to pass the probation period if you successfully become a recruit. Only about one in five people will finally join the Soul Chaser team and become a full member!"

"Furthermore, the death rate of soul chasers has always been high. There are still a large number of members who have suffered irreversible trauma when going on missions. They can no longer enter the virtual spirit world, so they transfer to other positions or simply retire. Can this number be maintained without decreasing?

, it’s already quite difficult.”

Wu Hou pointed to the door: "The owner of this hot pot restaurant is seriously injured and retired. His body's psychic veins have been completely destroyed. Let alone the use of his abilities, his life span is not as good as that of ordinary people!"

"Seniors, you are brave and fearless, and you are admirable for defending the city and protecting the people!" Long Qisheng sighed with emotion.

Wuhou waved his hand: "It's not that noble, it's just that we have no choice! If we don't fight hard and let the Void World invade the dome, the whole city will be done together! No one can escape!"

"People at the bottom who have nothing may not be afraid of death, but those of us with power and wealth... are reluctant to die!"

"Just like me, I have assets worth hundreds of millions, a mansion, a beautiful wife, and many servants. How can a person like me be willing to let this city collapse?! Hahaha~~"

Wu Hou laughed loudly as he spoke.

How dare you say...

"Captain, I'm off topic."

"Oh, right!" Wu Hou slapped his forehead: "Where did we just talk about?"

"Three hundred teams of spirit chasers."
