Since The Red Moon Appeared

The last time I saw Teacher Xiaolu up close was two hours ago.

At that time, the countdown in her eyes was three hours, seven minutes and forty-two seconds, and now there is just over an hour left.

So after sitting quietly in the security booth for about two hours, Lu Xin walked out of the security booth, silently outside the big iron gate of the school, finished smoking a cigarette, then threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stamped it out. He moved his body slightly, turned around and came in.

He went straight to the teaching building.

The countdown is about to reach zero, and Teacher Xiaolu's executor will also appear soon.

Of course I have to stay by Teacher Xiaolu's side at this moment.

Even for me now, it feels like staying in the security booth is not much different from staying with Teacher Xiaolu.

The teaching building was very quiet, and Teacher Xiaolu arranged the children into a dormitory on the first floor near the auditorium on the west side, and told them not to come out no matter what they heard.

She herself stayed in the office on the east side of the third floor.

It seems that subconsciously, these little children are kept at the furthest distance from themselves, so that if something happens, it will not affect them.

If it weren't for the fact that Qinggang itself is under the gaze of those eyes and is under great pressure. Chaos may appear at any time, and it would be even more unsafe to stay outside the elementary school. Teacher Xiaolu might have arranged for them to leave the school.

Lu Xin went upstairs quietly, came to the door of the office on the third floor, and knocked lightly on the door.

No one answered inside, so Lu Xin opened the door automatically, taking the key from the old security guard.

The office is very dark.

This elementary school was originally converted from a villa, and Teacher Xiaolu's office was the study of a rich man.

The space is very large, left and right, and many different forms of light sources are installed.

But now Mr. Xiaolu only turned on the lamp on the desk.

As a result, most of the space in the office was submerged in gloom, only a bright place in front of him.

She sat in a wheelchair, changed into clean clothes, hung her head, and a blanket was wrapped around her legs.

It looked a little cold in the room.

When she heard Lu Xin come in, she didn't look up, she just sat quietly beside the desk.

Lu Xin stood at the door for a while, then walked in slowly, pulled a chair, and sat in the center of the office.

It is neither too close nor too far from Mr. Xiaolu.

Then neither of them spoke, they just sat quietly while maintaining this distance.

Lu Xin couldn't get closer to see the countdown in Mr. Xiaolu's eyes, but he had already calculated that there should be one hour left before the countdown resets to zero. hours later.

But every time I get close to Teacher Xiaolu, the countdown in her eyes will speed up.

Based on this calculation, the arrival time of the enforcers may also be advanced.

But it doesn't matter, since it is always coming, I don't mind meeting them some time earlier.

...

...

"Lu Xin..."

I don't know how long I sat quietly, so quiet that people feel that the atmosphere in the office is a bit depressing.

Teacher Xiaolu seemed to be unable to bear the pressure, and after a long silence, he raised his head and shouted.

"I am here."

Sitting on the chair, Lu Xin smiled and agreed softly.

"You really……"

Teacher Xiaolu hesitated for a moment, and said, "Do you really want to guard me here?"

"Are you not worried, there will be danger?"

"..."

Lu Xin quietly showed a smile to Teacher Xiaolu, and said, "I'm not afraid of danger."

Teacher Xiaolu looked up at him, and seemed to see a familiar shadow on his calm and smiling face.

This made her body tremble, and she hugged her body slightly.

It took a long time before he raised his head, as if trying to restrain his emotions, he said in a trembling voice:

"I know, you are here to protect me..."

"But, have you ever thought that I actually deserve this?"

"..."

"Deserved..."

Lu Xin felt a strong sense of guilt from Teacher Xiaolu's tone.

This made him feel a little strange.

After a while, he said softly: "Then why didn't you tell me, why did you have such an idea?"

"because……"

Teacher Xiaolu's lips trembled slightly, and his expression looked a little desperate: "Some things may not be as you think, and some people may not be as good as you think. You are a really kind person, because you always She thinks others are so kind, but there may be some people who are not worthy of this kindness at all, no matter how well they pretend, there will always be dead souls staring at her in the corner..."

Her tone of voice was too strange.

For some reason, Lu Xin actually felt his hairs stand on end slightly.

He raised his head abruptly and looked into Teacher Xiaolu's eyes.

At such a close distance, Lu Xin saw that the countdown in her eyes was decreasing at a crazy speed.

He waited to hear Teacher Xiaolu continue to speak, but found that she fell silent.

Her face was full of tangled expressions, as if she had fallen into a painful choice, her words were stuck in her throat, but she couldn't speak.

This is an extremely unbearable torment for those who are waiting for an answer.

But Lu Xin was not in a hurry.

After the advanced training on mental pollution and mutation, he has learned a lot of detailed knowledge that he had never mastered before.

For those who have been mentally polluted, their silence should be used and respected.

Faced with people who have been mentally polluted, people who don’t understand them will always wonder why they are so painful and entangled, why they refuse to speak out when they have something on their minds, and why others must not be allowed to sit on them. I don't understand why I can't help it, and I must make things worse.

It's as if Mr. Xiaolu can clearly solve his doubts with one sentence.

But Lu Xin understands that for people who are mentally polluted and have abnormal emotions, this is normal.

Not why, but can't.

Every behavior a person makes is supported by the logic and motivation behind it.

They seem to be unable to do this simple behavior, but in fact there is a problem with the logic and motivation behind the behavior.

Defects of mechanical parts and insufficient fuel will lead to malfunction.

It's a pity that many people can understand machinery, but not the same kind.

...

...

Professor Bai mentioned during the training that Qinggang is now vigorously cultivating mental and psychological doctors, and there is an urgent need for such talents, but in the assessment, professional skills are not even ranked first. patience……

Lu Xin, who has already obtained a university diploma, has thought about whether to take a test for a certificate.

Not to mention, what I am facing now is Teacher Xiaolu.

While Lu Xin was waiting quietly and gently, Teacher Xiaolu also shook her head after a long while as if she was discouraged. She finally didn't say the words that rushed into her throat just now, but her words Emotions gradually calmed down.

"You wait for me for a while."

After a while, she slowly pushed the wheelchair and walked towards the corner of the wall.

Lu Xin also got up silently and followed her quietly.

Teacher Xiaolu stopped, with a forced smile on his face: "Do you want to follow me all the time?"

"Yes."

Lu Xin looked at the countdown in her eyes that was about to return to zero, and nodded slightly.

"but……"

Teacher Xiaolu was slightly embarrassed, looked at the interior door in front of him, and whispered: "I'm going to the bathroom..."

"Um?"

Lu Xin was slightly surprised, then reacted again, and nodded slightly: "Oh."

With that said, he turned around and sat back on the chair, still waiting quietly.

Teacher Xiaolu turned around with a blushing face, pushed the wheelchair, walked into the interior door, and turned on the light.

There are bright lights, temporarily buffering the dark and depressing atmosphere in the office.

But as the door closed, all the light was cut off.

Lu Xin sat quietly in the half-dark living room, half of his body was illuminated by the lamp on the desk in the distance.

In silence, quietly listening to the movement around.

In the bathroom, there was a slight shaking of the wheelchair, and after a long while, there was the sound of running water from the faucet.

Then the sound kept going.

Lu Xin waited quietly for a while, then got up and went straight to the bathroom door.

He went to push the door, but found that the door was locked, so he paused, took a step back, and kicked it out.

With a bang, the door was kicked open, and he saw the terrifying scene in the bathroom.

Opposite the Yuxi mirror, Mr. Xiaolu, who was sitting in a wheelchair, had already cut his wrist with a paper knife.

Hearing Lu Xin's forceful movement to open the door, she turned around abruptly.

Lu Xin saw that her face was already covered with traces of black lines.

She tried her best to smile, like a strange black flower.

The lips were sewn up with a kind of black silk thread, and the wound on the wrist seemed to have its own vitality, opening forcefully to both sides, like a person grinning, with blood on the side while grinning forcefully It kept spitting out.

Where the blood spattered, the air seemed extremely blurred.

Hee hee hee……

In Lu Xin's ears, he suddenly heard the children's laughter.

The voice was as familiar as it came from deep in memory.

It was the orphanage when I was a child, and everyone laughed when they played games under the sun. This kind of laughter passed through layers of time, resounding in this blurred air refracted by blood, and Lu Xin could even see a faint figure of a child, looming in this blurred air beating.

His heart couldn't help beating faster.

The heart feels as sad as if it is being pinched by small hands.

He could only do his best not to listen to such voices, nor to chase after these illusions, but just looked down at Mr. Xiaolu.

Teacher Xiaolu's entire body has been pierced by this black silk thread, and it is riddled with holes.

These weird silk threads grew out of her blood like plant shoots, filling the entire bathroom.

It came out through her skin and back into her body.

Her eyes, nose, and ears were all sewn up layer by layer, like a tattered rag doll.

Wriggling, tense.

As if to hang her in mid-air like a sinner.

Beside her, Lu Xin saw familiar faces, which were the smiling faces of children in the former orphanage.

...

...

"well……"

Lu Xin stood at the door in silence for a while before slowly moving forward.

He ignored these black silk threads, but his expression looked a little sad.

In the entanglement of countless black silk threads, he bent down gently, took the paper cutter from Mr. Xiaolu's hand, and threw it aside.

Then he wrapped his arms around her waist and picked her up.

Teacher Xiaolu's face was full of tears, and his sanity seemed to be a little unclear. Suddenly, he struggled vigorously in Lu Xin's arms, screaming loudly, and beat Lu Xin's shoulders and arms vigorously. Like crazy, it surged and wrapped around Lu Xin's body, climbing up the entire office, filling the office with a fresh smell of blood.

Teacher Xiaolu's eyes, nose, and mouth have been sewn up with black silk thread.

But the entire office was filled with crazy laughter and painful cries, appearing and disappearing from time to time, creating chaos and chaos.

The children playing games around, and the happy laughter intertwined into a weird atmosphere, filling this spacious office. At this moment, Lu Xin even felt as if he had entered a weird and distorted memory. Extremely depressed.

But he still ignored all the weirdness and madness around him, and just put Mr. Xiaolu on the sofa.

From the office, I found the medicine box that is usually used to treat the abrasions of children, cleaned her wound, and wrapped it with gauze.

It wasn't until he finished all this that he straightened up slightly.

...

...

After scanning the scenes of inexplicable madness around him, he took a deep breath and suddenly shouted loudly:

"Number Eight, get out and meet me!"
