Since The Red Moon Appeared

Is No. 8 really here on a business trip?

Lu Xin looked at No. 8 who was sitting across from him with some strange eyes. Now that he had invited dinner, recounted the old days, and asked seriously, if No. 8 really had some purpose in his heart, now Should be telling the truth, right?

But until now, he still answered like this, and very frankly.

Facing No. 8's invitation at this time, he was silent for a while, and thought about this question seriously.

If No. 8 really just stopped by to visit himself and Mr. Xiaolu, then he could really relax.

As for his work, Lu Xin was indeed a little curious.

After exchanging glances with the "waiter" in this restaurant, Lu Xin nodded and said, "Okay!"

...

...

Number Eight is a very dangerous person.

This danger does not necessarily mean that he has any malice.

It is because he is a person who can escape the sight of the special pollution cleanup department even in Qinggang City, which has a spiritual lord, and makes the spiritual lord himself feel the danger on him, so he needs to come to the place where he is staring at close range. "wack".

Such a person came to Qinggang blatantly, and if the purpose is unknown, no one can rest assured.

Qinggang also has this attitude.

They did not carry out some kind of mandatory questioning and behavior on No. 8, but the necessary monitoring is essential.

But compared to other agents and ability users, Lu Xin, who was invited by No. 8, is undoubtedly the most suitable.

After agreeing to accompany No. 8 to do his work, the atmosphere at the table became much more relaxed.

Lu Xin and No. 8 drank a bottle of beer, and even Teacher Xiaolu ate a small bowl of rice slowly.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Lu Xin sent Teacher Xiaolu back first. It stands to reason that in this situation, it would be fine if he didn't send her back. He could also ask Chen Jing or Gecko to send her back, but Lu Xin still insisted. I did it myself.

As for the half-hour math class, due to lack of time, it was naturally cancelled.

This is considered a good deed by Lu Xin.

When I came out of the orphanage, I saw a jeep was ready.

Lu Xin directly took No. 8 into the jeep, he drove the car, and sat in the co-pilot himself.

Before the night fell, the two drove straight out of Qinggang and entered the twilight wilderness.

...

...

"Do you really want to ask me how I survived?"

When the jeep drove into the wilderness without street lights, everything around became gloomy.

The red moon is still in the sky, but its position is already westward.

In addition, it was a bit cloudy, so the light was very dark. Only the headlights of the jeep cut through the darkness and illuminated the roughness in front of us. Roads with large and small puddles.

There was silence outside the car, and the car was also very dull. No. 8 didn't turn on the music.

He was driving quietly for several hours in silence before suddenly asking a question with a smile.

Lu Xin turned to look at him, then nodded slightly.

"It was rescued by the dean."

Number Eight replied with a smile: "At first I thought I was going to die, but I fell into an eternal sleep with my disappointment with this world."

"But I didn't expect to wake up suddenly later. It was the dean who saved me."

"The dean is very capable. He has a special spiritual power, which played a big role in treating us."

"..."

Having said that, he paused, then suddenly glanced at Lu Xin, and said with a smile:

"I saw Xiaolu sitting in a wheelchair all the time. She must have suffered severe spinal damage, right?"

"It's a pity, she used to be a girl who ran so fast..."

"Always bouncing around like a fawn, that's why they gave her that name, didn't they?"

"..."

Lu Xin sat silently on the co-pilot, rolled down the window, and slowly lit a cigarette.

"I have observed her. Her injuries cannot be cured by ordinary medical techniques. You probably understand this."

Number Eight continued talking, as if he was just feeling emotional.

Lu Xin just smoked quietly and didn't answer what he said.

Only a part of the light from the headlights was faintly reflected into the car, and his expression could not be seen clearly.

Lu Xin actually had no expression on his face, he just sat silently.

The sadness in my heart is like a cigarette butt that lights up from time to time, appearing faintly.

No. 8 sighed softly, and said: "However, if there is a chance, it may be possible to find the old dean. He can cure it."

Lu Xin slowly turned his head and looked at No. 8 seriously.

I am different from before, it is easier to understand some things than before, and I can better control my feelings.

So, after being silent for a while, he asked softly, "Are you doing something for the dean?"

The atmosphere in the carriage seemed to be faintly depressing.

"no."

But No. 8 shook his head calmly, and said: "At the beginning, I thought about becoming the dean's assistant, and I thought I had reached the standard to be his assistant, but unfortunately, when I learned about the dean's When thinking about it, I still rejected it.”

"The dean has his pursuit and purpose, and I have mine."

"So I left him and got this job I'm doing now."

In the dim light, he turned his head and smiled at Lu Xin: "I like it very much, this is what I want to do."

Lu Xin frowned slightly.

Chatting with No. 8 made him feel uncomfortable all the time.

After a while, he asked directly: "So, what exactly is the old dean going to do?"

"I can't tell."

No. 8 shook his head, and said directly: "Besides, I only guessed a little bit, and I can't touch the core."

"Probably because I don't know the core, the dean let me go, otherwise with his character..."

"..."

Having said that, he slightly shook his head and sighed softly.

In Lu Xin's heart, the strange feeling became more and more serious, and he couldn't help but ask some other questions.

But at this moment, No. 8 had already raised his head, looked obliquely forward, and said softly, "We'll be there soon."

Lu Xin glanced at him and put down the topic temporarily.

Following his gaze, he saw a light obliquely ahead, at the end of the dark land.

Judging from the distance, there should be forty or fifty minutes away.

He called up the map on the glasses and found that the location should be a gathering point called Xiaoyeshan.

According to the data, there are about 20,000 people gathered in this place, and they usually make a living by searching for waste and underground trading.

I don't know how many such gathering points exist in the wilderness.

What is No. 8 coming here for?

Does he also have some shady goods that need to be sold through their market?

...

...

"In there, there was a man who proclaimed himself General Onoyama, but he was actually the head of the village."

No. 8 took the initiative to explain: "There are many tough people in the wilderness, and it is difficult to survive if they are not cruel. This General Xiaoyeshan is a very good person. With other people who originally lived in the wilderness, they only thought about it." The person who entered the high-walled city was different, he originally lived in the high-walled city, but because of a crime, he escaped from the high-walled city, and ended up living here."

"Not only did his life not become worse, but it even became more colorful."

"He was born to adapt to this kind of life in the wilderness where the weak prey on the strong and intrigue."

"In just a few years, I got a job as the captain of the waste hunting team in Xiaoyeshan, and then took advantage of the old general in Xiaoyeshan's serious illness, smothered him to death with pillows, and added the old general's family, men, women, and children to his subordinates. Thirty-two people, all killed and fed to the pigs."

"Since then, he has become Onoyama's general."

"Because he grew up in the high-walled city and his family background is good, so he is also well versed in the rules of the high-walled city. He hooked up with officials from several powerful forces, including your Qinggang, and secretly sold their stolen goods for them, and dealt with them. Some shady jobs."

"On the surface, he is mainly engaged in collecting and selling stolen goods, but in fact, he is better at robbery."

"Until now, the reason why there are not many rumors about him robbing caravans in the wilderness is because he is careful."

"He is careful, so he never keeps alive."

"Even if it's a beautiful woman who makes his heart flutter, he will kill it directly after playing with it."

"..."

Listening to No. 8's narration bit by bit, Lu Xin frowned deeply.

Undoubtedly, Number Eight was talking about a bad guy.

Even if only half of what this person did was true, it could really be considered a heinous crime.

However, number eight came here...

"This is my business..."

When Lu Xin was thinking, No. 8 smiled and said, "I'm here to judge him."

...

...

Before Lu Xin asked carefully, No. 8 had already stopped the car, and the gate of the Xiaoyeshan gathering point could be seen in the distance.

No. 8 opened the car door, put on his suit jacket, and then picked up the black suitcase he had always carried with him, and walked towards the gate of the assembly point with Lu Xin. The assembly point could be seen from a distance Guards with guns outside.

"who?"

Seeing a car approaching in the darkness, these guards had long been vigilant, and when they saw someone, they immediately pointed their guns at them.

"Hello, I am the executor of the Midnight Court, Xu Jing."

No. 8 came to the door of the gathering place, and actually reported his identity directly, and at the same time smiled and took out a business card from his pocket and showed it to them.

Lu Xin noticed that there was nothing on the black business card, it was just blank.

But all the guards with guns were attracted by the business cards.

Then their eyes were slightly confused, and they slowly moved out of the way.

In this way, No. 8 directly entered the assembly point, and walked towards the innermost villa of the small wild mountain assembly point.

When he met someone asking for directions on the road, he immediately showed his business card, and no matter who it was, he let him pass immediately.

When they passed, the men regained consciousness, but seemed to have forgotten to see them at all.

While chatting, they walked forward. It took less than ten minutes for them to arrive at the villa of the general Onoyama, and then asked his security guard to open the door. They walked straight into the hall and climbed the creaking wooden stairs , came to a big bed.

No. 8 put down the black box and gently opened it. Inside were exquisite and neatly arranged utensils like works of art.

For example, a silver bright slender sharp narrow knife with a graceful arc, a pair of stainless steel pointed hooks placed in a black red velvet box, a row of slender nails inserted into the top of the leather goods, colorful and beautiful looking liquid, a Bundles of long, barbed wire, etc.

After taking off his suit jacket, Number Eight put on white rubber gloves for himself.

Facing the ignorant man lying on the bed, he smiled at Lu Xin: "Now, I'm going to start working."
