Lu Xin sat quietly on the bar chair, his hand holding Chen Xun’s arm.
At this moment, the candles on the bar counter suddenly started to shake. Not only the candles, but the Golden liquid in the four wine glasses on the bar counter also started to shake slightly. On the wine rack behind the bar counter, those broken or empty wine bottles made clear clanking sounds. Chen Xun’s words brought more memories to Lu Xin’s mind.
More and more things began to become clear.
He suddenly thought of the orphanage he grew up in.
It was a three-story building with a huge space. It was surrounded by high walls with barbed wire.
He remembered that there were dozens of children living in the orphanage, reading, playing, and listening to the adults talking about the civilized times. He also remembered that there seemed to be a lot of noise, gunshots, crying, and explosions outside the wall.
However, the orphanage was very safe, and that kind of chaos had never happened in the orphanage.
He remembered the old principal, who was always kind and friendly.
She also remembered that other than the old principal, there would often be some ‘teachers’ in the orphanage.
Some of them were young, some were old, and some always gave people a cold feeling.
He still remembered playing and fighting with the children in the orphanage and going through the old principal’s hidden files on her computer.
He also remembered that they had helped little nineteen to ‘seek revenge’ and snatch the swing.
Such a scene began to steadily appear in his mind, as if layers of fog had been removed.
But suddenly, the mist turned blood red.
All the sunny pictures were like old photos, stained with blood from the edges.
This shocking blood-red color spread from the surroundings to the entire photo.
All his memories were dyed red.
He saw the blood-drenched corridor and the twisted bodies on the ground.
He saw the fear in little nineteen’s eyes before she died.
Wuwuwuwuwu …
There seemed to be a sound in the air. It was unusually ear-piercing and made people’s heads hurt.
Blood slowly trickled down the corner of Lu Xin’s mouth.
Chen Xun looked at Lu Xin quietly as he carefully tried to free himself from his grip. Fortunately, Lu Xin did not grip him tightly. After he freed himself, he moved his body slightly and took out a brand new handkerchief from his other pocket. He handed it to Lu Xin.
Lu Xin took the handkerchief and wiped the blood from his nose. He stared at the bright red stain on the White handkerchief in shock.
brother, ignore him. He’s lying to you …
The younger sister clenched her fists and yelled at Lu Xin with. menacing expression. Fear.
The shadow cast by the candlelight was cast in the bar, and there seemed to be some kind of gaze looking at him in the shadow.
hehe, kill him. Why don’t you quickly kill such a person? ”
“Didn’t you wait for so long just to kill him?”
These voices rushed into Lu Xin’s mind, causing his eardrums to tingle and his mood to turn irritable.
“1 … Who am 1?”
However, he still maintained his calm, and the expression on his face seemed to be even less.
“You’re a severely contaminated person,”
Chen Xun observed Lu Xin’s reaction and did not try to delay or hide anything.
She said softly, ” when we found you, you were already seriously contaminated. In the eyes of others, you had no hope of being cured. But we were lucky, or maybe not, and we still cured you … It’s just that at that time, we thought it was cured.” and in the subsequent experiments, you revealed great potential.
we used to think that you were the best choice …
After saying that, he was silent for a moment, and a bitter smile appeared on his face. “Until you destroyed everything!”
“You guys …”
Lu Xin opened his mouth to speak, but then stopped. His ears were ringing non-stop.
His sister was already hugging his arm and begging him, “”Brother, should we kill this person?”
“Don’t you hate him? Shouldn’t you make him into a toy?”
“Don’t you want to make him a toy while he’s still alive?”
From the shadows, his father’s blood-red eyes appeared, staring at Lu Xin.
“What are you waiting for?”
“You only know how to stall for time. Why don’t you kill him?”
Lu Xin lowered his head to look at his hand and noticed that the veins on his wrist were bulging, as if there were snakes slithering inside.
He used a lot of strength to control the twitching and out-of-control feeling.
He then looked up at Chen Xun and tried his best to make his voice sound calm.
what you did back then … What is it for?”
Chen Xun heaved a sigh of relief and looked at the calm Lu Xin with a puzzled expression.
His fingers unconsciously turned the glass, and the Golden wine swirled slightly.
“You finally asked this question,” he said softly after a long while.
“Back then, we tried to make you understand, but you were too young.”
As he spoke, he lifted his head and looked into Lu Xin’s eyes. we are trying to understand and master these powers.
when the red Moon appeared in the sky, we already knew that some changes that humans could not resist had appeared.
we have discovered a power that has been with us but we have not discovered.
this power can easily destroy our civilization, order, and everything we are proud of.
at that time, too many people surrendered in the face of this power and accepted everything willingly.
just like a mouse that met a cat, it even forgot to resist …
but there are always people who are unwilling to accept this, like us.
He paused for a moment and raised his head to look at Lu Xin. There was a hint of pride in his voice.
“You can understand it as us being the people who want to steal the fire seed!” no matter what we are facing, we believe that one dav, we will be able to understand it and control it completely …
“Humans are born to control their power, aren’t they?”
Chen Xun said with a smile on his face. civilization was born from the moment we learned how to use tools.
the history of our civilization is a process of learning to control.
in ancient times, lightning, earthquakes, and gales were a disaster for humans. But we gradually understood and learned how to control them. Thus, modern civilization came. The appearance of the red Moon was also a disaster. We can definitely control it.
“Just like this darkness …”
He suddenly raised his head and pointed at the bar.
Most of the bar was submerged in darkness. It was quiet and there was no movement at all.
in the face of darkness, we don’t expect to wait for the sun to rise.
Chen Xun looked into Lu Xin’s eyes and said softly, ” we will try to light the candle and illuminate it.
“Chi, Chi, Chi.”
Wave after wave of shock washed over Lu Xin’s mind.
He had heard some of Chen Xun’s words, and some of them he had missed. Even in front of his eyes, Chen Xun’s face was sometimes close and sometimes far away. It was like a painting that was being held in someone’s hand, constantly rubbing and opening. The real world seemed so unreal that it was absurd.
His sister hugged his arm tightly, her face full of tears.
Her father seemed to have walked out of his shadow. His tall figure was walking around her anxiously.
kill them all! Kill them all!
he’s a lunatic. All of them are lunatics …
he treats everyone like a toy, so we’ll treat him like a toy too!
I want him to regret it so much that he will always remember this pain …
I have to let him understand the price of doing such a thing …
“Can you guys stop talking?”
Lu Xin couldn’t help but turn to his father and sister.
His father and sister both stopped and looked at him with dark expressions.
Lu Fei clenched his fist in anger and hit his temple before punching it hard.
He seemed to be trying to calm down his chaotic mind.
Then, he raised his head. His eyes were bloodshot as he glared at Chen Xun.
“Then you can …”
He tried his best to keep his voice steady. “You can just casually … Tsk … Should I make an incision?”
A few of the candles on the bar counter suddenly went out.
Chen Xun had already quieted down. He had shut his mouth the moment he saw Lu Xin talking to the person beside him.
He looked calmly at Lu Xin, his eyes wavering. He could see the blood vessels slowly rising in Lu Xin’s eyes. From the way Lu Xin was pressing his fist against his temple, he could tell how frustrated Lu Xin was.
After a long silence, he gently pushed up his glasses and slowly lit the candles.
“Are you trying to tell me that even in the pursuit of the truth, no matter how great the goal is, there must be a bottom line?”
He opened his mouth and looked straight into Lu Xin’s eyes. There was no fear on his face.”l’m very sorry!”
“I don’t intend to discuss such a childish question with you.”
Lu Xin jerked his head up and stared at Chen Xun with a peculiar look in his eyes.
kill him. Kill such a person …
“I’m going to chop him into meat paste …”
I will absolutely, absolutely not allow him to do such a thing to anyone …
Both his sister and father pounced on Chen Xun, as if they could not wait to tear him into pieces on the spot.
However, their hands were still a distance away from Chen Xun.
At this moment, Lu Xin could faintly hear the sounds of gunshots, heavy objects being smashed, and people’s cries of pain from the other side of the building.
This made him understand that in another direction, Chen Jing and the others had begun to try to enter the laboratory and had encountered some powerful enemies.
At the same time, he also realized that this relative of his was currently in a hurry to do something else.
Lu Xin’s fingers began to convulse uncontrollably..
