Since The Red Moon Appeared

In the night, pedestrians could be seen on the streets of satellite city No. 2 of qingang.

Now that the crisis was over, the people who had been hiding in the underground shelter came out carefully. They carried their children and held their other halves as they walked home under the dim street lights. Out of caution, some people would stay until the next morning before going home, but there were also some who were anxious or had things to do at home, so they went home before dawn.

Many times, life was more important than disaster.

What they had to do the next day was far more important than what had just happened.

“Then let’s eat here?”

Lu Xin, No. 8, and the old security guard made their way through the silent crowd.

The orphanage had to be around, so the innocent miss Lu did not come with them. This was a gathering for the three of them.

In the night breeze, they wrapped their coats tightly, and no one said a word.

It was late at night, and the crisis had just passed. It was not easy to find a place to eat.

However, when they arrived, they saw the owner of the restaurant, who had just returned from the shelter. He opened the door of the restaurant, and before they could ask, the owner saw what they wanted and immediately invited them in.

“You want to eat?”

“Come, come. come …”

“What do you mean by late?”

“If a guest is here to eat, he must be hungry. Since he’s hungry, how can he not cook?” the boss said generously.

What a warm and friendly boss …

Lu Xin sighed.

He realized that this was because his fantasy about the city had not disappeared yet, which caused this special enthusiasm.

He had been thinking about whether he should quietly remove the ” fantasy ” power on the boss so that he wouldn’t suffer any losses in this abnormal enthusiasm. Then, he saw the boss move a small folding stool and sit beside the counter to pick fried meat.

Piece by piece, he threw them into the trash.

“This is …”

Lu Xin asked curiously.

sigh, Dear Customer, you don’t know …

in the past, I used to mix rotten meat and fresh meat together and fry them, ” the boss said with a repentant expression. I added more salt and cumin when I served them. Anyway, ordinary people won’t be able to tell. At most, they’ll go back and have diarrhea. They won’t die, right? ”

but just now, I suddenly thought it through. In life, we should put ourselves in other people’s shoes. Business can’t be done like this …

“That’s why I picked out the rotten ones first and made them for you …”

“..”

Lu Xin was stunned for a moment and gave up on the idea of withdrawing his “illusion.”

At least wait until after this meal before withdrawing it …

..

..

“It’s okay. Take a look at the menu and order whatever you like …”

Seeing the boss enter the kitchen, Lu Xin enthusiastically pushed the menu to No. 8 and the old security guard.

He was really generous now.

After all, every time he carried out a clean-up mission, it meant that he would have a large sum of money in his account.

Especially this time, he was solving a world-class pollution …

How much would that cost?

If it was in the past, he would have asked how much money he would be paid for this mission.

But this time, he was careful and did not ask for the time being.

He knew that Green Harbor probably had no idea about the pollution. They probably did not even know how much they should pay him. If he asked too much, they might just give him a random number to fool him. Therefore, he decided to give each other some time to think about it.

“Order the dishes …”

Seeing Lu Xin’s relaxed and enthusiastic expression, No. 8 and the old security guard felt uneasy.

They couldn’t understand why Lu Xin suddenly wanted to take them out for supper.

Before the atmosphere turned cold, the old security guard was calmer. He coughed lightly and took the menu.

“Vinegar peanuts, a plate of salted duck eggs, and … Get a bottle of white wine, good ones.”

“..”

He pushed the menu to number eight and looked at Lu Xin calmly, as if he was not afraid of death.

“White wine, and the good one too …”

Lu Xin’s mouth twitched, but he didn’t say anything. Instead, he turned to number eight and asked, “”What do you want?”

Number eight just glanced at the menu lazily. He was very disappointed. He shook his head and said, “”There’s nothing I want to eat.”

“Then what do you want to eat?” Lu Xin asked with a frown.

The dishes in this restaurant were already very expensive, and the boss had already picked out the rotten meat, hadn’t he?

Number eight was still a little listless, and he said lazily, ” the stinky tofu braised noodles we had last time was pretty good. It would be even better if there were more meat tendrils.

“？”

Lu Xin didn’t know how to react.

The first time he treated number eight to a meal, he really gobbled up the food with a look of enjoyment on his face.

At that time, she had thought that he had gone crazy from hunger, or that he was deliberately acting natural in front of her.

She didn’t expect that he actually had this kind of taste.

it’s fine. I still have a few bags of stinky tofu with me. It’s a specialty of Black Swamp city.

“I originally wanted to share it with my friends, but if I really can’t share it all, I’ll just give it to you later.”

“I don’t have meat tendrils, but you’ll have to buy some meat to raise.”

“..”

Number eight nodded nonchalantly, but he didn’t seem to be in high spirits.

Lu Xin added two more dishes for himself.

Next to a small table covered in oil, three men silently waited for the boss to serve the dishes.

The first to be served was the old security Guard’s white wine and salted duck eggs. It was indeed a good wine, and it was actually labeled.

He glanced at number eight and Lu Xin and did not ask any questions. He took the wine glasses for number eight and him and poured them a glass each.

The three of them picked up their glasses in silence without any intention of clinking them.

They sipped the spicy wine while thinking about the things in their hearts.

As the invigilator, Lu Xin’s heart was the most heavy at the moment.

His family was tired and had gone home, so he was facing the two of them with the most basic attitude.

There was no one to discuss, so he was extremely cautious with his words. He first slowly sorted out his thoughts.

After a moment of silence, number eight spoke first, “”Has it really been resolved?”

“Yes, I am.”

Lu Xin put down his cup and glanced at number eight. “The sword-wielder is dead.”

It was obvious that number eight’s palm trembled.

The old security guard next to him also had a slightly incredulous expression on his face, and then he immediately lowered his head.

Lu Xin continued to look at number eight. also, there’s something wrong with the sword holder. The midnight court that you followed before was also problematic. The sword holder was on the verge of losing control at the end. As for the midnight court … They’re all dead!”

The atmosphere in this small restaurant filled with oil and smoke suddenly became a little cold.

Lu Xin tried his best to make his words easier to understand. “You can understand it as the real sword holder no longer has an inner core.”

his spirit has been killed, so he’s only a walking corpse.

number eight, all of you were just following the orders of this walking corpse. You were acting like machines.

I think that the sword-bearer’s condition has something to do with the fact that your trial has become more and more extreme in a short period of time.

“..”

Number eight was already holding his wine glass tightly. His face had turned even paler and cold sweat kept flowing down.

Lu Xin was worried that he wouldn’t believe him, so he whispered, ” his spiritual Palace is in the wilderness outside. You can go and take a look.

of course, remember to apply to the special Investigation Department in Green Harbor. This is the rule.

“..”

“No…”

Number eight suddenly shook his head, a conflicted expression on his face. actually, I should have thought of this long ago …

“When I first got Lu’s confession letter, I didn’t take it seriously. “Because I feel that I can persuade the midnight court to change this trial. However, I didn’t get a response even after I prayed countless times. I then realized …”

“..”

He did not continue.

However, it was clear that he had connected his previous experience with the current outcome and had already figured something out.

Perhaps he had already noticed that something was wrong, but he had no way to verify it.

“Number 8, if you’re willing, you can investigate this with the special Investigation Department of Green Harbor. The incident at the midnight court is very strange, and I also want to know what happened. If I have your cooperation, I think we might be able to find out the secret of the midnight court faster …”

Seeing that number eight had already accepted the truth, Lu Xin patiently tried to persuade her with a gentle tone.

The pollution of the midnight court had been resolved.

But this time, he didn’t relax like he did before after the contamination was resolved.

On the contrary, after solving the pollution, he discovered more strange things, which caused his worries to remain.

This was also the reason why he had come back to find number eight at the first moment.

If he didn’t solve the secret behind the midnight court, he wouldn’t be able to truly feel at ease.

Moreover, this worry wasn’t because of him. He was worried that this uneasiness would affect his family.

“Cooperate with them and find the secret of the midnight court?”

Surprise, coldness, and frustration flashed across number eight’s face. After hearing Lu Xin’s words, he took a sip of his wine and suddenly looked up with a trembling gaze, “”You brought me here just to tell me this?”

“..”

When he said this, his eyes seemed to be fixed, and the hair on his forehead was wet.

“No…”

Lu Xin was slightly taken aback by number eight’s expression, but he quickly understood what he was thinking.

He shook his head and looked at number eight, “”I called you over because there’s something I need to make clear to you.”

As he spoke slowly, his tone became very firm, as if he was giving a warning.

don’t look for teacher Lu or anyone else in the future, and don’t try to bring any other pollution to qingang.

“..”

“..”

Seeing the power in Lu Xin’s eyes, number eight’s pupils contracted slightly as he listened coldly.

“Number eight, or should I say Xu Jing.”

Lu Xin looked at him calmly and said, “”I don’t think you’re wrong for not letting go of the orphanage.”

but there’s one thing you’re wrong about …

After a slight pause, he said in a heavy tone, “”You should have asked me directly from the start!”
