Since The Red Moon Appeared

Perhaps Lu Xin's attitude was too firm when he said these words.

As a result, the atmosphere in the entire small restaurant became depressed.

Lu Xin didn't intentionally threaten or suppress him with mental power, but the hands and feet of No. 8 opposite him began to tremble.

It can be seen that No. 8 seems to be trying his best to stabilize himself, but his eyes have already started to drift.

His firmness and pride that went straight to his heart before, at this moment, turned into a hollow sense of powerlessness...

"ask you?"

Under this pressure, No. 8 endured indescribable torture.

When this kind of pressure was almost crushing him, it seemed that a feeling of despair finally broke out at this moment. He suddenly slammed the table hard, stood up straight, and his eyes were full of tears. Bloodshot, staring at Lu Xin:

"Number 9, you have all the initiative, so come to give your kindness?"

"Do you think that I dare not look for you because you just showed the power that makes the whole world afraid?"

"I……"

As he spoke loudly, he couldn't control his trembling, his voice became undulating, but he still tried his best to say: "I am really confused now, and I don't know how to accurately distinguish right from wrong, but, but some Needless to say, I also know what is right and what is wrong, number nine, your strength scares me, I'm really, I'm really scared..."

"But should I really give up because I'm afraid of you?"

"..."

He spoke loudly and fiercely, and his attitude was unusually fierce, but his eyes were full of despair and powerlessness.

The atmosphere in the small restaurant suddenly became extremely depressing.

The old security guard next to him also became slightly nervous and worried. He looked at the two of them, but didn't know what to say.

"Oh yo yo..."

At this moment, in the back kitchen, the owner of the cooking sticks out his head: "Eat well, don't fight..."

"My brother, what can't you say well?"

"If you break something, you have to pay for it..."

"..."

"..."

After being interrupted by the boss, the atmosphere seemed to relax slightly, and the arm of No. 8 supporting the table was also trembling slightly.

He seemed to have been sucked out of his body, and suddenly changed from anger to depression.

"Number Nine..."

There was already a slight tremor in the voice of No. 8: "I have been away from the orphanage for many years, and I still remember your expressionless face at that time. I have nightmares again and again. When I dream of you at that time, I also The last time I dreamed about our children who died in the orphanage at that time, in fact, I also know that the source is not you, but you at that time were really terrible..."

"So I've always wanted to ask, I've always wanted to come back and ask you, you..."

"...Have you ever regretted it?"

"..."

"..."

When No. 8 got angry, Lu Xin just sat there quietly and didn't speak.

He could see No. 8's fear and confusion, so No. 8's anger did not anger him, but made him feel faintly sad, until No. 8 asked the last question, and looked at himself in despair. Coming over, he let out a low sigh.

"No."

He lowered his head and replied slowly: "Because I didn't have that kind of emotion at that time."

"but……"

After a while, he slowly raised his head, looked at No. 8, and said softly: "But when I have emotions..."

"...Number 8, I don't regret it all the time!"

"..."

"..."

Regret all the time.

When Lu Xin said these words, he didn't feel too strong, even extremely dull.

It seems to be just describing a fact very calmly.

No. 8 had ten thousand reasons to believe that Lu Xin was just perfunctory, but he was suddenly hit by this sentence.

Because in Qinggang, perhaps he is the only one who understands some of the secrets of the Midnight Court.

Only he understands better that while protecting the entire Qinggang with his own power, he killed one of the ultimate sword-bearers in the wilderness, and he returned to the city intact, emotionally stable, and found himself How scary is Lu Xin eating supper.

There is no need for people at this level to lie.

He has more ways to solve some places that require him to lie.

Even for him, lying to someone, it represents his respect for someone.

...

"Number Eight, I want to ask you to do something for me."

And Lu Xin, after saying these words, suddenly felt an unprecedented ease.

Looking at No. 8 who fell silent and fell into deep confusion and pain, he sighed softly and said slowly.

"beg me?"

Number Eight slowly raised his head, with some disbelief in his eyes.

"Yes."

Lu Xin said slowly: "I want to beg you, go and help me find those children in the orphanage. I know some of them survived, and I also know that some of them... died forever. Along the way, I have already I met Teacher Xiaolu, Little Nineteen, Number Seven, Number Two, and you, and Little Seventeen who is always with me, but I still miss the others, all the time..."

"You used to be with the old dean, so you should know them better..."

"I hope you can find them..."

"..."

"this……"

No. 8 never expected that Lu Xin would make this request.

There was an unusually complicated change in his expression, and he wanted to question it, but he didn't know where to start.

The whole person fell into chaos, and after a long time, he said: "Why?"

"because……"

Lu Xin spoke, but slowed down again, as if he was also thinking about what to say.

Confession, redemption, redemption, maybe everything...

But in the end, he just said softly: "Because I promised to save them..."

...

...

Number eight's expression suddenly became tense.

He looked at Lu Xin in disbelief, his eyes were full of confusion and complicated emotions.

After a long time, he whispered, "No. 9, you really changed a lot..."

"you……"

"..."

As if knowing what he wanted to ask, Lu Xin looked at him and said with a smile, "I found what I want to do..."

"Of course, you can also understand it as the spiritual core."

"..."

Number Eight's eyes changed, and he subconsciously said, "What?"

Even the old security guard on the side suddenly raised his head, as if he was very concerned about this issue.

Lu Xin was a little embarrassed at first, but in the face of his old classmates and people who felt sorry for himself, he mustered up his courage and said slowly: "The first half is, I want to help this world, build a There are rules and order..."

Listening to No. 8, she couldn't help being startled: "What about the second half?"

Lu Xin was even more embarrassed, and after a while, he said, "In such a world, to be a decent rich man."

"..."

Number Eight was really dumbfounded.

Even the old security guard on the side suddenly coughed heavily, as if he had choked on alcohol.

"you……"

No. 8's sadness and frustration were all diluted by these words, and after a while, he said in disbelief:

"You have reached the level of fantasy, actually..."

"..."

Lu Xin has the right to speak at this point, and said seriously: "I can imagine everything else, but can money?"

Number Eight choked suddenly.

"My wish is to help the world establish rules and order, and then be a rich man in this world."

Anyway, having already said it, Lu Xin was calm and said with emotion:

"Number 8, when I first came back from Tinder City and saw you, I envied you very much."

"Because I feel that you are very firm and pure."

"Although, judging from this incident, it seems that your purity can be easily used by others, but I still envy you."

"Because you know what you want to do, and you really dare to do it..."

"I don't think I can be as pure as you."

He shook his head slightly and sighed: "At first, I also thought about whether I could become a pure person, but when I was interrogating myself, I found that I was really just an ordinary person. I like the feeling of making money..."

"Money is really a good thing..."

"You don't need to rob, you don't need to lie, you don't even need to threaten, you can take what you want from others in an open and honest manner."

"Money can make others respect you, and it can also bring you... a sense of security!"

"Although it is often said that money cannot solve all the problems in the world."

"But money that solves the most problems is already the best thing in the world?"

"So, I figured it out, it doesn't have to be so pure, let's just make life better..."

"..."

Lu Xin, who was touched in his heart, expressed his emotion, then looked at No. 8 again, and said softly: "If you recognize yourself, you will become firm, and you will know the direction. Therefore, I also have some concerns about the orphanage. Just like what you are pursuing may be absolute fairness, to return justice to your former companions, but all I want is to fulfill my original promise..."

"So, Number Eight, I ask you to help me."

"..."

Hearing these words, Number Eight's expression became confused.

"perhaps……"

He wanted to speak, but stopped, and slowly smiled wryly: "No. 9, it's really hard to imagine that you would say these words..."

"Where did you learn it from..."

"..."

Listening to his words, Lu Xin couldn't help laughing slowly: "Read more books, you can do it too."

"Ever since I left the orphanage, I've been studying."

"No. 8, when we first met, you said that my previous grades were not good, but in fact I already have a college degree now..."

"..."

Although No. 8 has not directly agreed, it can be seen that his attitude has relaxed.

It was only then that Lu Xin finally felt a little more relaxed.

Compared with the sword holder, the attitude of No. 8 is what he cares more about.

Finally, his attitude reached a consensus with No. 8.

At this moment, I can finally face No. 8 at this time as I really face my former classmates.

...

...

While Lu Xin was talking to No. 8, the old security guard was drinking beside him silently.

Using a toothpick, he carefully picks the egg whites of the salted duck eggs to serve with the wine, taking small bites, eating very carefully.

Only people who have lived a long and hard life will get used to this way of drinking.

As for the conversation between Lu Xin and No. 8, he didn't take it seriously at all. Except for occasionally looking at them, more time, he just drank silently by himself until the surroundings quieted down at some point. Shin looked into his own eyes.

Only then did he slowly put down the wine glass, took the rag, wiped his hands, and met Lu Xin's gaze.

"Is it my turn?"

"..."

Lu Xin looked at the old security guard quietly, and a familiar image gradually emerged in his mind.

"Yes, Teacher Sun."

He nodded slightly, and said: "One of the two most trusted assistants of the old dean, Sun Zhong, Mr. Sun."
