Since The Red Moon Appeared

In the night, shadowy pedestrians appeared on the streets of Qinggang No. 2 Satellite City.

When the crisis was over, these people who hid in the underground shelter came out cautiously, holding their children and supporting their other half, and walked home under the dim street lights. Out of careful consideration, some people would stay until the next morning before returning home, but there were also some who were impatient, or had something to do at home, and went home before dawn.

Many times in life, it is greater than disaster.

What you do the next day is far more important than what just happened.

"Then eat here?"

Lu Xin, No. 8, and the old security guard passed through the crowd who went home silently.

The orphanage couldn't be empty, so the simple Mr. Xiaolu didn't come out. This was a party for the three of them.

In the night wind, they wrapped their coats tightly, and no one spoke.

It's late at night, and it's just after the crisis, so it's not easy to find a place to eat.

However, it just so happened that when they came here, they saw the owner of the restaurant, who had just come back from the shelter, opened the door of the restaurant. They were invited into the store.

"You want to eat, don't you?"

"Come on..."

"Why is it too late?"

The boss is very generous: "If a guest comes to eat, he is hungry. Since he is hungry, why not cook?"

What a warm and friendly boss...

Lu Xin sighed.

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

He was still thinking about whether to quietly eliminate the "fantasy" power on the boss first, so as not to let others suffer in this abnormal state of enthusiasm, and then he saw the boss moved a small horse, Sitting next to the counter to pick out small fried meat.

Piece by piece, throw it in the trash can.

"This is……"

Lu Xin suddenly asked curiously.

"Oh, guest, you don't know..."

The boss said with a face of remorse: "I used to mix the rotten meat with the fresh meat and fry it. I added more salt and cumin when I served it. Anyway, most people can't eat it. At most, I will go back and have a stomachache. It can’t kill people, can it?”

"But just now, I suddenly figured it out. In life, you should compare your heart with your heart. You can't do business like this..."

"So I'll pick out the bad ones first, and prepare them for you..."

"..."

Lu Xin couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and secretly gave up the idea of ​​withdrawing his "fantasy" power.

At least wait until the meal is finished before withdrawing...

...

...

"It's okay, just look at the menu and order whatever you like..."

Seeing the boss enter the back kitchen, Lu Xin enthusiastically pushed the menu in front of No. 8 and the old security guard.

Now he is really generous.

After all, every time a clean-up task is performed, it means that a large sum of money will come into the account.

Especially this time, what I solved by myself was a world-class pollution...

How much does it cost?

In the past, I had already asked Qinggang how much money would be given for this task.

But this time, he kept his eyes open and didn't ask for the time being.

Because he understands that Qinggang probably has no idea about such a large amount of pollution. They don't even know how much they should give themselves, so they are in a hurry to ask, and they may just report the number to fool themselves, so it's better to give each other some time Think about it.

"Order..."

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

They couldn't understand, and they didn't know why Lu Xin suddenly wanted to take them to supper.

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

"Peanuts with old vinegar, sliced ​​salted duck eggs, and... get a bottle of white wine, it's better."

"..."

After finishing speaking, he pushed the menu to No. 8's side, and looked at Lu Xin calmly, his expression seemed to be deathly.

"Baijiu, even better..."

Lu Xin twitched the corner of his mouth, but didn't say anything, and asked No. 8, "What do you want?"

No. 8 just glanced at the menu lazily, feeling very depressed all the time, shook his head and said, "There's nothing I want to eat."

Lu Xin frowned immediately: "Then what do you want to eat?"

The food in this restaurant is already very expensive, and the boss has picked out the rotten meat, right?

No. 8 was still a little listless, and said lazily: "The stewed stinky tofu noodles last time were good, and it would be better if there were more meat sprouts."

"?"

Lu Xin didn't react immediately.

When I invited No. 8 to dinner for the first time, he really devoured it, with a look of enjoyment on his face.

At that time, I thought he was crazy hungry, or he deliberately acted naturally in front of me.

Didn't expect him to be really good at this?

Slightly stunned, he nodded and said: "It's okay, I still have a few bags of stinky tofu, a specialty of Black Marsh City."

"I originally wanted to distribute it to my friends, but I really can't finish it, so I might as well bring it to you later."

"There is no granulation, you have to buy some meat yourself."

"..."

No. 8 nodded irresponsibly, and seemed not very interested.

Lu Xin added two more dishes, meat.

Then, next to a small table covered with oil, three men silently waited for the boss to serve the food.

The old security's baijiu and salted duck eggs were served first. They were really good wines, but they were actually labeled.

He glanced at No. 8 and Lu Xin, and without asking, he directly took wine glasses for No. 8 and No. 8, and each poured a glass.

The three of them raised their glasses silently, and did not intend to clink their glasses.

They were just sipping spicy wine while thinking about things in their hearts.

As the inviter, Lu Xin has the most serious concerns at this time.

The family members are tired and have already gone back, so at this time, I am facing these two people with the most original attitude.

There is no one to discuss with, so he is extremely cautious in speaking, first sorting out slowly in his heart.

After a long silence, it was Number Eight who spoke first: "Is it really resolved?"

"Yes."

Lu Xin put down his cup, glanced at No. 8 slowly, and said, "The sword holder is dead."

It can be clearly seen that No. 8's palm trembled.

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

Lu Xin continued to look at No. 8, and said, "Besides, there is a problem with the sword-wielder, and there is also a problem with the Midnight Court you followed before. ...they are all dead!"

In such a small shop full of oily fumes, the atmosphere suddenly became a bit cold.

Lu Xin tried his best to make his words easy to understand: "You can understand that the real sword holder has no core."

"His spirit has been killed, so what's alive is just a walking corpse."

"Number 8, you before were just following orders from this walking dead, acting mechanically."

"I think that your trial has become more and more extreme in a short period of time, and it is also related to the state of the sword holder."

"..."

At this time, No. 8 was already holding the wine glass tightly, his face became even paler, and cold sweat continued to flow down.

Lu Xin was worried that he would not believe it, so he said softly: "His spiritual palace is just outside in the wilderness, you can go and see it."

"Of course, remember to apply to Qinggang's Special Clearance Department first, this is a rule."

"..."

"No……"

Number Eight suddenly shook his head, with a tangled expression on his face: "Actually, I should have thought of it a long time ago..."

"At the beginning, when I got Xiaolu's confession, I didn't take it too seriously. Because I thought, I could persuade the midnight court to change this trial. But until, until I prayed countless times, I still had to I didn't realize until I got the response..."

"..."

Having said that, he didn't say any more.

But it is obvious that he has already figured out something by connecting his previous experience with the current result.

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

"No. 8, if you want, you can investigate with the Qinggang Special Clearance Department. The matter in the midnight court is very strange, and I also want to know what happened. With your cooperation, I think it may be found faster. Secrets of Midnight Court..."

Seeing that No. 8 had accepted this fact, Lu Xin patiently persuaded No. 8 with gentle words.

The world-class pollution of Midnight Court has been resolved.

But this time, he was not as relaxed as before after solving the pollution.

On the contrary, after solving the pollution, more weird things were discovered, which caused the worries in my heart to never go away.

This is also the reason why he came back to find No. 8 immediately.

Nor can he truly rest easy without unraveling the mystery behind Midnight Court.

Moreover, this worry is not because of himself, but because he is worried that this anxiety will affect his family.

"Cooperate with them and find the secret of the midnight court?"

On No. 8's face, expressions of surprise, indifference, and worry flashed successively. After listening to Lu Xin's words, he silently drank a glass of wine, and suddenly raised his head to look over, his eyes trembling slightly: "You take me here , just for me to tell me this?"

"..."

When he said these words, his eyes were staring straight, and the hair on his forehead hung wetly before his eyes.

"no……"

Facing No. 8's eyes, Lu Xin was slightly startled, and understood No. 8's thoughts.

Shaking his head slightly, he looked at No. 8 and said, "I asked you to come here because I have to explain something clearly to you."

As he spoke slowly, his tone became very firm, as if it was a warning:

"Don't go to Mr. Xiaolu or others in the future, and don't try to bring other pollution forces to Qinggang."

"..."

"..."

No. 8 saw the strength in Lu Xin's eyes, his pupils shrank slightly, and he listened indifferently.

"No. 8, or Xu Jing."

Lu Xin looked at him calmly, and said, "You can't let go of the orphanage, in my opinion, there is nothing wrong with it."

"But there's one thing you're really wrong about..."

After a slight pause, his tone became more serious, and he said in a deep voice, "From the very beginning, you should have asked me directly!"
