Since The Red Moon Appeared

Chapter 258 The sense of ritual

Lu Xin and the doll took the doll's exclusive van to the south of the city, in front of a building facing the Donghai Hotel.

Looking at the layout of the lobby, it seems that it was originally a high-end hotel, but both the front desk and the surrounding area are empty and no one can be seen. They came to the top floor of the twenty-seventh floor and entered the room on the east side of the corridor.

This room was originally a suite, and it was even more upscale than the one that Vice President Xiao lived in in Satellite City No. 2 before.

At least the living room is bigger than that.

In the room, it seems that it has been temporarily refitted, and it is installed with tempered glass on one side against the wall. However, the installation is obviously very rough, and even the wall-mounted TVs in the hotel were directly blocked by these glass.

Obviously, this is another temporary safe house.

After taking a look at the surrounding environment, Lu Xin understood why they brought themselves and the doll here.

It stands to reason that the safe house at the Donghai Hotel was temporarily arranged for the doll to participate in this senior talent training meeting. Although it has been destroyed by the cleaning work just now, the doll should still have a safe house where he usually lives. right.

However, the service team temporarily set up a new safe house here for themselves and the doll to rest, because the east side of this room is a floor-to-ceiling glass window, and from the window, you can just see the East China Sea. Directions to the Grand Hotel.

Therefore, this should also be due to the fact that in case of problems, timely support can be provided.

...

"Mr. Shan Bing, because of the sudden incident, we have no way to prepare all the things that doll usually likes. In case she is a little emotionally unstable, I hope you can comfort her well... By the way, when it comes to comforting her. Don't be too loud."

In Lu Xin's memory, this seemed to be the first time a service team member had spoken to him.

Listening to the voice, it is like the voice of a middle-aged woman, but looking at her size, she seems to be stronger than herself.

"Okay, I understand, you go to work."

Lu Xin felt that they were also working very hard, and smiled politely.

The service staff froze for a moment and said, "We are busy right now."

"..."

Lu Xin couldn't keep up with the words at once: "...Okay!"

"By the way, we just ran a few places to find the doll..."

Another service staff came over, holding several large colorful boxes in his arms.

Lu Xin looked over, his eyes were straight.

They were all Lego toys that the dolls were playing with before, and each box was very large. I don’t know how the city is now in a state of first-level alert, how did they do it, in a short period of time Just found so many...

"Thanks for your hard work."

Lu Xin took the stack of heavy boxes and thanked them solemnly.

"It's okay, it's our job..."

Several service staff spoke quickly, and asked critically, "Are you hungry? Are you thirsty? Do you want to prepare a late night snack?"

Lu Xin said gratefully, "Yes."

...

When several members of the service team left the room, Lu Xin breathed a sigh of relief and sat down.

The doll has just arrived in a new environment, and it seems a little uneasy without her familiar arrangement and color tone.

But when she saw that Lu Xin was beside her, she suddenly seemed very relieved. She took off her heavy princess dress, wore long clothes and long pants, and sat on the ground covered with heavy carpets. She picked up a A box with Lego toys.

After looking at it for a while, I bit it directly.

"oops……"

Lu Xin watched her tearing at the box with her fine and white teeth, and hurriedly brought it over and helped her to tear it apart.

A pile of small plastic cubes of different colors fell down beside her like a hill, and she immediately seemed very happy.

He squatted on the ground honestly, and began to play with it tirelessly.

...

"Very well served."

Lu Xin looked at the doll for a while, then nodded lightly.

As long as she is playing honestly and she is performing another task, it is stable.

After ensuring this, he sat quietly on the sofa, thinking about his own business.

In the process of dealing with the S-level capable person from this sea country, he actually experienced a lot of things before and after, and his mood also fluctuated greatly. However, because he had just acquired the key items of the second stage, he kept his emotions calm.

This has the advantage that I will not be affected by too much emotion, and I will not have various states of panic and anxiety.

He thought about it for a while, then slowly took off his glasses.

Looking down at what seemed to be a combination of high-tech and living things, he was satisfied.

You can really feel a special power in it.

"This time you did a good job and worked hard, so I am also willing to treat you as a friend..."

Lu Xin looked at the glasses, and after a while, he spoke softly.

The glasses were silent, as if they were just a pair of glasses, and would not answer the words of others.

"Your characteristics are very helpful to me, and it helped me just now."

Regardless of whether it answered or not, Lu Xin continued to say: "However, I can actually feel that you are not honest, you have an ambition that is not what a pair of glasses should have, and even when you were performing the cleaning task just now, you still What do you want to lead..."

"..."

Speaking slowly, a smile appeared on Lu Xin's face.

Then his hand holding the glasses began to snap away to the sides.

The material of these glasses looks like a kind of strangely hard wood that will shatter when broken.

But now, with Lu Xin's hard work, the frame of the glasses was slowly broken into a bow shape by him, and finally folded directly into a diagonal angle, but the glasses still did not break or crack, as if they had changed from wood to one. An extremely elastic material.

Lu Xin exerted his force slowly, but the smile on his face did not change at all.

It seems to be very friendly to this pair of glasses.

Until the pair of glasses, as if the force was too tight, trembled slightly, as if showing fear...

"Of course, I can understand, after all, we have just come into contact with each other."

Feeling its trembling, Lu Xin softened his smile and said softly, "Let's get to know each other slowly in the future."

"OK?"

"..."

The glasses returned to their original shape, but whether it was due to inertia, or something else.

It was shaking slightly, as if nodding.

Lu Xin showed a satisfied expression, and he put the glasses on his face again.

At this time, when he saw the doll playing with the small squares, he was looking at himself curiously.

Lu Xin smiled at her and said, "I'm trying the quality of these glasses."

The doll believed, showing a smile, then turned her head away and continued to fiddle with the small squares.

...

"It seems like there's a lot to do, but what I really want to do..."

Lu Xin sorted out the things in his mind one by one. During the period, he didn't have any intention to distinguish between superiors and inferiors, but after thinking about all these things, he naturally understood what he should do. , very easy.

Among so many things, the first thing to do, of course, is to ask for leave.

Lu Xin's expression became more and more soothing and calm.

But just when he relaxed, his shadow suddenly moved.

The room of this hotel is equipped with a soft lighting, and there are many light sources, so it is difficult to make a clear shadow. Even if there is, it is extremely light and tragic. But when Lu Xin was thinking about these questions quietly, the scattered shadows seemed to gradually merge together under the movement of the light source, forming a darker and deeper shape.

The actual light source didn't move, but the shadow seemed to move on its own.

A sneering voice resounded in the room: "Are you really not feeling tired?"

"Always locked up in so many rules..."

"..."

Listening to this voice, Lu Xin didn't seem to be surprised, but replied softly: "I like this, how can I be tired?"

The voice suddenly became a little heavy: "This is a shackle that keeps you from being free..."

Lu Xin was silent for a while, then said softly, "But let me feel at ease..."

The shadow suddenly became deeper, with obvious shaking, which affected the light in the room.

"You really want to be like this all the time, like a fool?"

"..."

Even the doll on the side seemed to notice something, and turned to look at Lu Xin curiously.

Shadow is sneering: "You can obviously get everything you want..."

"...including her!"

"..."

"Your ideas are always so extreme..."

Lu Xin looked at his shadow, unmoved, and said softly, "But I still want to tell you that you can't do things that shouldn't be done."

"The rules are the sense of ritual of being a person..."

"..."

"Ding zero zero..."

Suddenly, a satellite phone rang, breaking the silence in the room.

Lu Xin was slightly stunned, and when he looked down, his shadow had not changed.

He shook his head gently, answered the phone, and Chen Jing's voice came from inside: "How are you now?"

"us?"

Lu Xin glanced at the doll and said with a smile, "She's playing Lego, and I'm waiting for a late night snack."

Chen Jing breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "That's good, now the final investigation and clean-up work in the whole city is going on, but basically there are several special pollution incidents in various areas of the main city and in satellite cities. , has been resolved.”

"Great."

Lu Xin nodded and said, "Actually, I was just about to tell you something..."

"If the matter here is over, can I go back to the satellite city first?"

"..."

Chen Jing was slightly startled and said, "When?"

Lu Xin thought of the document kept by his mother, paused, and said, "It's better now."

"So anxious?"

Chen Jing was a little surprised.

"Yes, in fact, when I dealt with the 'Apostle in Red' just now, I wanted to leave."

Lu Xindao: "But I see that you are so busy, I am embarrassed to ask you for leave."

"..."

Listening to Lu Xin's words, Chen Jing had a strange feeling in her heart.
