Since The Red Moon Appeared

"Do you think this is different from the second stage you imagined?"

Professor Bai seemed to see the hesitation and confusion in Lu Xin's heart. After looking down at his watch, he quickly explained:

"Actually, the second stage is just a concept, and its essence is the strengthening and stability of the capable ones."

"Normally speaking, the strengthening of capable individuals requires complex preparations, including psychological counseling, capability testing, mental scale model calculation, risk assessment, etc. Before the second stage, it is necessary to conduct a series of Reconstructive surgery."

"The surgery process includes entering the culture cabin, using culture medium and mental strength booster for strengthening, as well as strengthening neural circuits, stimulating specific areas of the cerebral cortex and increasing the activity of the pituitary gland, etc. The purpose of everything is to make the ability Those who have stronger mental power can also withstand stronger mental power, maintain their own stability, and avoid losing control.”

"..."

Listening to Professor Bai's words, Lu Xin couldn't help nodding.

He had to admit that what Professor Bai described was in line with his imagination of the "second stage".

Lying on the bed, a group of people with knives scratching and scratching and so on...

Although, he was somewhat conflicted with this scene in his heart.

"But you are different."

Professor Bai only left a small pause between each sentence to allow Lu Xin to digest it, and then continued: "You have a very high mental level, so you don't need to strengthen, for you , keeping you stable is the core of the second phase."

"So, I made some adjustments to your Phase 2 intensification plan, cutting out unnecessary procedures."

When he said these words, Professor Bai looked at Lu Xin calmly, with the eyes of an ordinary person, but it seemed that he could see through everything:

"I'll ask you a few questions below, you just need to nod or shake your head."

"..."

Lu Xin looked up at Professor Bai, and there seemed to be some kind of tacit understanding that quietly appeared between the two.

"First, for you, when you use your abilities, the biggest trouble is the emotional impact?"

"..."

Regarding this question, Lu Xin hesitated for a while, then nodded slowly.

Professor Bai smiled and said, "Second, does your ability make you feel that you don't belong to you to some extent?"

Lu Xin glanced at Professor Bai in surprise, but nodded.

"third……"

Professor Bai paused for a moment and said, "Are you particularly longing for inner peace?"

...

Lu Xin's mood at this time was really a little surprised.

He even had a feeling that his heart had been spied upon.

This feeling made him feel a sense of crisis, and even his eyes didn't know when, he became a little vigilant.

"Shh!"

There were members of the special squad around, who noticed Lu Xin's eyes, a little nervous, and moved unnaturally.

Chen Jing at the back, along with Mr. Su and Minister Shen, were also a little worried.

Only Professor Bai, still calm, looked at Lu Xin with a non-hostile smile.

So, after some time to calm down, Lu Xin nodded again.

A relaxed smile appeared on Professor Bai's face.

...

...

"In this case, then you meet the conditions for us to carry out the second stage, which also shows that my speculation is correct."

Professor Bai said, lifted the silver box in his hand, put it on the front cover of the jeep, then turned to look at Lu Xin, and said, "For you, the stability of the second stage lies in how Control your emotions..."

"Remember, it's your own emotions..."

"So, I'm not going to reform you with psychological counseling in the conventional sense, or even surgical methods, I choose to use a new type of method that is very restrictive...and also very expensive. ."

While speaking, he opened the safety lock of the silver box and said at the same time: "Before that, I have to ask seriously..."

"Are you sure you're going to the second stage?"

"..."

Lu Xin was slightly stunned, but nodded slowly.

For him, this is a very important and meaningful decision.

When he nodded, he had already looked at the hand that Professor Bai put into the box, and at the document he took out...

Then he watched Professor Bai solemnly hand the document to him.

He said, "Sign the contract first."

"..."

Lu Xin was speechless for a while.

what are you doing...

You have prepared everything in your heart, but you sign a contract at such an important time...

Not only him, but also Mr. Su, Minister Shen, and Chen Jing not far away, their faces were a little helpless and a little nervous. Now they all have a complex psychology of being in awe of the unknown and wanting to express some opinions, but they are afraid to intervene casually.

Lu Xin honestly opened the contract and quickly browsed the contents above:

Then he found that compared with the contract he signed when he worked in the company, this contract was much simpler.

The general content is: Qinggang helps Lu Xin, a capable person, to achieve the strengthening and stabilization of the second stage.

The cost of the second stage shall be borne by the Qinggang Special Clearing Department.

Correspondingly, Lu Xin must also ensure that after signing the contract, he abides by three principles:

1. Comply with the laws and regulations of Qinggang and the regulations of the Ministry of Special Clearing. Brackets: Appeals and discussions can be made at special times.

2. Party B promises to help Qinggang complete certain special pollution clean-up work. Brackets: Paid.

Third, if Party B wants to tear up the contract, it needs to pay the overall cost of the second stage of strengthening and add three times the liquidated damages.

...

Lu Xin saw the end in one breath, without the words "final interpretation".

This makes the contract seem less formal.

There is a taste that is not based on law, but is bound by the morality of both parties.

"Is that so?"

Lu Xin couldn't help but glanced at Professor Bai.

He felt that even if he asked his sister Sun to come over, he would be able to draw up a more professional contract than this.

But at this time, Professor Bai's face was very solemn, he nodded seriously, and said, "Yes."

With that said, he took out a pen with a gilding pattern on the surface from his suit pocket, and handed it over solemnly.

Lu Xin glanced at Professor Bai.

Under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes around him, he slowly took the pen and signed his name on the contract.

...

...

"Is that all right?"

Lu Xin put away the pen, put it in the bag, and handed the contract to Professor Bai.

Professor Bai took the contract, glanced at it, then took it away seriously, and nodded with satisfaction: "That's it."

Obviously it feels like a meaningless trifle, but there is a sense of relief.

"Then the second stage you said..."

Lu Xin looked up at Professor Bai, and couldn't tell whether he was nervous or looking forward to it.

At this time, Professor Bai was very calm, opened the box again, and said, "Do you remember the painting you brought back?"

Lu Xin thought about it for a while, and realized that what he was talking about was the painting he snatched back from the Knights.

He nodded.

Professor Bai looked at him with a smile, and said: "Now you, you should have heard that there are many spiritual parasitic objects in this world, which can attach people's spiritual power to them, and these parasitic objects have many similar Signs of people, or sources of pollution.”

"That painting has been identified by us and can be determined."

"Its name is 'Red Moon's Gaze', and it is one of the rare high-level parasitic objects."

"In the records of the Alliance Research Institute, there are a total of thirteen such advanced parasitic items."

"The reason why they are said to be special is because there are thirteen of the most abnormal spiritual powers in these items."

"..."

Having said this, Professor Bai paused, slowed down his speech, and emphasized his tone: "After I made a series of tests, I have determined that in this painting called Gaze of the Red Moon, there is a parasitic Such an extraordinary spiritual force."

"Its name, 'The Gaze,' is a force with terrifying control over emotions."

"..."

While saying these words, Professor Bai has opened the box again.

But at this time, the people around even forgot to look at the contents of the box.

Because what he said was really too amazing, even Chen Jing's face showed obvious confusion.

It can be seen that even she is not completely clear about what Professor Bai is saying now.

Only Mr. Su and Minister Shen could keep up with what he said at this time.

Presumably, they already knew this secret, but they were still a little uneasy about Professor Bai's decision.

...

"These thirteen abnormal powers are all very terrifying."

"For example, in this painting, the power code-named 'gaze' can disturb people's emotions, so that after one glance, they can change from a normal person to a monster who only knows how to vent their desires. The pollution mode is also through the most direct visual contact, so if this painting is exposed to the crowd, it can easily cause the greatest confusion."

"But such power is not completely unusable."

When he was talking, he had already pushed the box in front of Lu Xin and said:

"The second stage of strengthening for you is to borrow this kind of power. I have already analyzed the power of this code-named 'staring', and I can confirm that its characteristics are not to evoke negative emotions in people's hearts on the surface, but to devour people. positive emotions.”

"In human emotions, there are negative emotions such as depression and pessimism, but there are also positive influences such as self-control and positivity. Various emotions, thoughts, desires, etc. are intertwined and become a whole, which shapes us. If there is a problem in any one aspect, it will cause a terrible situation of collapse of the building, which is why we are easily polluted.”

"But as long as the cause is known, there are ways to steer towards a more stable state."

"Those who are out of control show strong negative effects because of the absence of positive emotions."

"So, I reversed it."

"This special parasitic item was produced through the extraction and endowment of this spiritual power."

"..."

At this time, Lu Xin was looking down into the box, and then he saw the parasitic item that Professor Bai said.

Surprisingly, it was a pair of glasses.

The frame is a red wood, or a wood-like material, with red veins on it.

At first glance, I feel that the wood grain on the spectacle frame is slowly creeping, as if the spectacles themselves are alive.

Even when staring at the glasses, Lu Xin had an illusion.

This pair of glasses is also secretly looking at myself...

"This is the key item for your second-stage enhancement."

Professor Bai said to Lu Xin: "It has the functions of information transmission, task processing assistance, etc., but the most important thing is that it has its own spiritual power characteristics. When you have emotional fluctuations, you can use it to achieve balance. "

"Simply put, it's a guarantee."

"As long as you wear it, you won't lose control of yourself because of the emotional shock."

"Of course, the real second stage, it won't be so fast, you will need time to get used to it and affect each other."

"But at the end of the day, with it, you're really going to phase two."

"..."

Lu Xin fell silent for a while, just looking at the glasses quietly.

He has made many speculations about the second stage, but he did not expect it to be realized like this.

He knew the horror of the painting, so he was a little wary of this pair of glasses that had something to do with the painting.

Can such glasses really be worn on the face?

Can such a pair of glasses really help you maintain emotional stability?

...

...

While Lu Xin silently looked at the pair of glasses, everyone else remained silent.

"Om..."

In the distance, next to the East China Sea Hotel, the red-cloak spirit monster once again spread out a shock.

It can be felt that this time its impact is much more terrifying than before.

In this city, screams and panics are heard from far away from time to time, which represents the occurrence of tragedy.

Professor Bai glanced down at his watch and said, "There are still two minutes."

Then he looked at Lu Xin calmly and said, "For the second stage of strengthening, we not only need us to believe that those with ability will not get out of control, but also need those with ability to believe in us. For example, Gecko, he is typical of us trusting him, he But don't believe our representatives. You submitted an application, we chose to believe it, so passed your application and created this special item."

"Now, we have given a plan, and it is up to you to make a choice."

"..."

He felt that countless eyes around him were all falling on him.

Lu Xin, who had been silent the whole time, finally raised his head.

His eyes swept from the doll who stared blankly at him, to Chen Jing, whose mouth was taut, and then to the tense members of the special task force around him, to Professor Bai in front of him, and the man behind him. A middle-aged man with a round face and a kind smile...

Finally, he landed on the man with a hard face like a rock.

He could feel that the most vigilant person in the audience was this man.

...

So he said hoarsely: "If you choose to believe me, you are not afraid of me... I'm actually a lunatic?"

The man with the stern face was looked at by Lu Xin, and his body was slightly tensed.

Then he slowly stretched out his hand to his leg and pulled out his gun.

At this time, the people around were already very nervous and their throats were dry, and then they saw that the man pulled out the gun, checked it, and took out another small bag with a magazine, and went directly to the landing. Xin threw it over.

When Lu Xin caught it, he found that the small bag was full of special bullets.

"Even if you are a lunatic, then you are also a lunatic in Qinggang."

The man with a resolute face, or Minister Shen, said in a calm voice, "I have always been vigilant against you, but I am also very clear, and I have to admit that our city has always been dominated by Protected by lunatics."

Lu Xin stopped talking.

After a while, he stuffed the gun and special bullets into the bag.

Then a smile appeared on his face, and his voice became more relaxed, saying:

"After completing this task, I should have enough money to buy a house, right?"

"..."

The people around were a little unresponsive.

On the other hand, Mr. Su, who was at the back of the crowd, smiled and said, "I promise, enough is enough."

I will update these first at noon. The number of words is a bit more, but it is too short if divided into two chapters. The next chapter is actually coded out, but I have to revise it first and try to send it out in the evening.
