Since The Red Moon Appeared

The tone of the old security guard talking about these things was as calm as possible.

He also seems to be deliberately stripping out his own feelings so that his narration can be more objective.

But I don't know why, when he talked about the second time he saw the "tyrant", the content of the narration still made people tremble slightly. Number 8 was a little unbelievable, turned his head to look at Lu Xin, and found that Lu Xin Xin also lowered his head silently at this moment.

The old security guard talked about these things, which seemed familiar.

But Lu Xin really doesn't remember anymore, these contents, and the contents of the following three years, are all blank.

Occasionally some fragments appear, which are also very chaotic.

...

...

"Until now, I can't describe how shocked I was when I heard this sentence."

The old security guard was also silent for a long time, and then slowly continued: "I suddenly realized that I can't attack him anymore."

"It's not because what I see in front of me is a 'tyrant' who can easily destroy the three-story building of an orphanage and the security measures designed by the director himself, but because what I see in front of me is just a painful, Helpless child..."

"At that time, I made a decision that I will never regret in my life."

"I didn't immediately report your appearance and your current state to the dean, otherwise he might come back immediately."

"I just picked you up and tried to..."

After a pause, he said with difficulty: "Trying to give you psychological counseling in person."

It can be clearly heard that there is some embarrassment in his words at this time.

It seems that he does not regret his decision to take back the "tyrant", but until now, when he thinks of the fact that he tried to provide psychological counseling to the "tyrant" at his level at the time, he will feel a little uncomfortable According to one's ability...

"However, that's difficult..."

The old security guard himself shook his head lightly, as if feeling thirsty because of emotional fluctuations, he took another glass of wine, drank it in one gulp, and then said: "Although you did have a change in mood that you didn't have before, but Your mental state is already in disarray, and at any moment, it is possible to trigger various effects of strong spiritual power on reality..."

"When you have nightmares, the whole building will be shaken with huge cracks."

"When your mood fluctuates occasionally, the vase on the table will suddenly turn into a poisonous snake..."

"When you walk in the crowd, all the people around you will have nightmares of limbs and thoughts. They all kneel down in front of you, trembling, as if they are paying respects to the king, but when they wake up, they are completely I don't remember such a thing..."

"You can erase people's memories at will, and even disable all surveillance cameras..."

"..."

Following the words of the old security guard, there was a hint of fear in his eyes.

Not only him, but even No. 8 showed an expression of disbelief.

He knew what level of power the scene described by the old security guard represented.

And the silent Lu Xin also sat quietly, thinking silently: "So the tyrant back then was so powerful?"

...

...

"I finally realized that you are not something I can take care of..."

The old security guard slowly raised his head to look at Lu Xin, his eyes were weak, and he even seemed a little self-deprecating:

"After all, with my level at the time, how can I turn the tide for something that even the dean can't grasp at all?"

"So, I'm still going to ask for help."

"It's just that I didn't report to the old dean, because I saw him go crazy in order to achieve the experiment."

"Therefore, I chose to report to the research institute..."

"..."

Having said this, his voice weakened slightly, but Lu Xin and No. 8 were a little surprised when they heard it.

In this matter, the research institute is also involved?

"People from the research institute rushed over immediately..."

The old security guard said in a low voice: "Even from my report to their appearance, it was less than an hour."

"I have also been an intern in the research institute as an assistant to the dean for many years. I was sure that every move of these people was the behavior of the research institute. Therefore, I promised to let them pick you up and told them that I would not Willing to follow the old dean again, I want to go back with him."

"Even if I go back, I will go to jail because of the escaped laboratory incident, and I don't want to stay here anymore."

"But I didn't expect them to reject me. They only said that they still need to be responsible for what they have done..."

"It wasn't until then that I realized that they didn't seem to be from the research institute."

"How could it be possible for the people in the research institute not to bring back the people related to the escaped laboratory?"

"They acted like they didn't even care about the escaped lab."

"..."

When he said this, the old security guard's face gradually revealed a fearful expression: "I realized something was wrong at the time."

"I tried to resist them, but I didn't expect them to subdue me easily. In front of them, I was like a wooden man, but they didn't hurt me. Instead, they explained to me with a smile that they were indeed from the research institute. people."

"They told me not to panic, that they would never hurt you..."

"Because his brain is a prison, where the most terrifying things are kept, no one will be stupid enough to break this prison."

"Their purpose is to better seal the contents inside, not to destroy the world!"

"..."

"prison?"

Whether it is the old security guard who said these two words, or No. 8 who heard these two words.

There was great emotion on their faces.

The body seemed to tremble slightly, and then looked at Lu Xin at the same time.

The people mentioned by the old security guard had a mysterious and weird color.

And according to them, Lu Xin is...a prison?

How can a person be a prison?

But in their eyes, Lu Xin just sat calmly, his brows were slightly frowned, as if he didn't have a complete impression.

...

...

In the oppressive atmosphere, No. 8 couldn't help but interjected: "Did you hear it wrong, or..."

"I didn't hear wrong..."

The old security guard listened, but sighed softly, and said: "They laughed at me, or at the old dean. They didn't know the severity, but dared to use such a method to experiment with the tyrant. However, this was also their negligence. They It is said that in this prison, the most terrifying thing in the world is held. Originally, they had sealed up most of the power of that thing, thinking it was safe."

"But looking at it now, it's still something the world can't bear that's only leaked occasionally."

"So they plan to take him back, and then find a way to seal up more of his power to see the effect."

"..."

"And that's not even the scariest..."

The old security guard also frowned, and his expression became a little weird: "At that time, I didn't know the identities of these researchers at all, and I didn't know whether I should believe their words, and I was not sure whether I should let them take the 'tyrant' away. In other words, when I was not sure if the 'tyrant' was unwilling to leave with them, causing some out-of-control consequences, I saw..."

He raised his head slightly and looked at Lu Xin: "You seem to know them..."

"..."

"Um?"

Having said that, even Lu Xin frowned slightly, and looked up at the old security guard.

No. 8 even had the look of thinking that the old security guard was lying.

"At that time, you talked with them with a smile. That was an expression I had never seen before..."

The old security shook his head vigorously, as if he was using this method to ensure that there was no problem with his memory: "I clearly remember that you were in the research institute when you were very young, and then we were taken to Qinggang by us. age, I have never had contact with outsiders, but after you met those people, you communicated with them with a smile, and even asked them why they didn’t come until now..."

"At that time, you were like old friends..."

"and……"

His Adam's apple couldn't help moving, and a shadow seemed to cast over his face: "The tone of your speech..."

He even worked hard a few times before he said it: "It's terrible..."

"I don't know how to describe it, but that tone of voice is not you at all, but something...more terrifying."

"I just heard a few syllables, and later, I had a long nightmare..."

"..."

Hearing the old security guard's words seem to have changed his tone, even No. 8 suddenly turned his head to look at Lu Xin.

He seems to want to say something, but he always has no confidence to send out his voice.

"Buzz..."

I don't know if it was because of thinking too hard, Lu Xin's head started to hurt again.

He remained silent and thumped his forehead heavily.

It was empty, without any traces, and I really had no memories of it.

What's the matter with the prison?

Is there really something else in my head?

no?

...

...

The old security guard also kept looking at Lu Xin's expression hard, and after a while, he looked away in disappointment.

He didn't see the answer he wanted from Lu Xin's face.

"After that, things became very simple."

With a low breath, he said softly: "I don't know where they took you, but you were indeed taken away, and I never had enough motivation to find you. Maybe, at that time, I still have a strong fear of you..."

"Even if I know that you have changed at that time, you are no longer a simple 'tyrant', but I am still afraid..."

"However, afterwards, I also thought about it countless times."

"At the beginning, I really had no clue, just my head was full of bizarre and absurd."

"Until later, when I recalled this incident countless times, I gradually thought of the identities of those people, and their actions were completely in the style of the research institute. They were familiar with everything about the institute, but they didn't care about what happened in the institute at all. matter……"

"So, besides the first generation of researchers, who else would it be?"

"..."

Slightly smiled bitterly: "It was only then that I remembered that the documents they wore were very old."

"And the name on it is not 'lunar eclipse', but 'red moon'."

"However, none of this made sense anymore, and I didn't want to touch these things at all at the time."

"I didn't go back to the institute, and I cut off contact with the old dean."

"I picked Xiaolu back from the hospital and took her to hide in another place, thinking that maybe one day, the old dean would show up and punish me, but in the end, the old dean never looked for me again. , It’s been so quiet for a long time.”

"At that time, I had no motivation to do anything other than take care of the deer with a broken leg."

"Even after Xiaolu proposed to rebuild the orphanage on the ruins of the orphanage and build a real orphanage, so that those children who wandered on the street could have a place to live, I just worked hard. I help her all the time, and sometimes I even fantasize in my heart that perhaps doing so can, to some extent, help me redeem some of my past sins..."

"For many years, I have been unable to distinguish my own thinking..."

"I used to be the most outstanding researcher, entered the Lunar Eclipse Research Institute, and worked hard to heal the world."

"Followed Professor Wang out again and did all those cruel things..."

"I saw the most desperate eyes, the most miserable picture, and the most terrifying power..."

"..."

"..."

Speaking of this, he was emotionally disturbed, and suddenly couldn't help but looked at No. 8, saying:

"I didn't like what you said when you first came back."

"What grades are not grades? In this world, are grades so important?"

"Growing up safely and being an honest person is the world after the red moon, the best kind of life, isn't it?"

"After all, our world is cursed by knowledge..."

"..."

When number eight was mentioned suddenly, his expression was a bit surprised, his lips moved, but he didn't say anything after all.

When the old security guard said this, he was already very relaxed.

He even smiled, picked a small piece of egg yolk, put it in his mouth, and took a sip of the wine.

Then he said to Lu Xin: "After that, three years later, Xiaolu suddenly met you."

"You followed her back to the orphanage. I didn't know how frightened I was at the time. I thought that retribution would finally come back..."

"But it was also at that time that I found out that your state has really changed."

"In your body, the power that makes people feel depressed all the time is gone."

"Or, if you hide deeper, you become quiet, kind, and even a little stupid."

"You always send money to the rebuilt elementary school over and over again. It looks like you are very rich, but later you find out that you are just saving money. You even wear single clothes in the winter, freezing cold. The snot keeps coming out..."

"..."

Lu Xin has been listening silently, rarely interrupting.

It wasn't until he heard this that he moved his body slightly unnaturally, and slowly rubbed his face.

Shaking his head softly, he said, "You don't have to say that."
