Lu Xin sat quietly on the high stool, holding Chen Xun's arm in his palm.

The candles on the bar suddenly began to shake, not only the candles, but also the golden liquid in the four wine glasses on the bar. On the wine shelf behind the bar, those broken or empty wine bottles made a clear sound.

Because of Chen Xun's words, more memories began to pour into Lu Xin's mind.

More and more things are beginning to become clear.

It suddenly occurred to him what the orphanage looked like when he was a child.

It's a three story building with a lot of space, surrounded by high walls and barbed wire.

He remembers that dozens of children lived in orphanages, reading, playing and listening to adults talk about things in the civilized age. He also remembers that there seemed to be a lot of noise, shooting, crying and explosions outside the walls at that time.

But the orphanage is very safe, that kind of chaos has never appeared in the orphanage.

He remembered the old dean who was always pleasant and kind.

I also remember that in addition to the old Dean, there are often some "teachers" in the orphanage.

Some of them are young, some are old, and some are always cold.

He still remembers playing with the children in the orphanage, fighting, and going through the hidden files of the old Dean's computer.

I also remember that they helped the bullied little nineteen to "find a place" and fight for the swing.

So the picture began to appear steadily in his mind, as if to remove the layers of fog.

But all of a sudden, the fog turned blood red.

All the sunny pictures, like the old photos, start from the edge, stained with blood red edge.

And this shocking blood red, also from around, spread to the whole picture.

All the memories, are stained with a layer of blood.

He saw the bloody hallway and the twisted bodies on the ground.

I saw the frightened eyes of little nineteen before he died.

……

Hum

There seems to be some sound in the air, strange harsh, make people brain pain..

The nose blood flows down Lu Xin's mouth.

Chen Xun quietly looks at Lu Xin and carefully tries to break free of his arm. Fortunately, Lu Xin doesn't grasp him. He breaks free and moves slightly. Then he takes out a brand-new handkerchief from another pocket and hands it to Lu Xin.

Lu Xin took the handkerchief, wiped the nosebleed, looked at the bright red on the white handkerchief, slightly stunned.

"Brother, don't pay attention to him. He's lying to you..."

The younger sister holds two small fists and shouts to Lu Xin with ferocious expression and fear.

The shadow of the candlelight was cast in the bar, and it seemed that there was some kind of eye looking at him.

"Ha ha, kill him, don't you kill such a person in a hurry?"

"Are you waiting so long to kill him?"

“……”

These voices rushed into Lu Xin's mind, which made his eardrum slightly numb and his mood irritable.

"I... who am I?"

But he remained calm, and the expression on his face was even less.

"You are a serious polluter."

Chen Xun observes Lu Xin's reaction without trying to delay or conceal.

In a low voice: "when we found you, you had been seriously polluted. In other people's eyes, you had no hope of being cured, but with good or bad luck, we cured you... Only at that time, we thought you were cured."

"In subsequent experiments, you showed great potential."

"We once thought that you were the best choice..."

At this point, he was silent for a while, and there seemed to be a bitter smile on his face: "until, you ruined everything!"

……

"You..."

Lu Xin opened his mouth and stopped again. His eardrum kept roaring.

The younger sister already hugged his arm and begged him: "brother, kill this man?"

"Don't you hate him? Shouldn't you make him into a toy? "

"Don't you want to make him a toy while he's alive?"

In the shadow, his father's blood red eyes appeared, staring at Lu Xin.

"What are you waiting for?"

"You're just procrastinating. Why don't you kill him?"

“……”

Lu Xin looked down at his hand and found that his wrists were already green, like a snake crawling inside.

He used a lot of power to control the convulsion and out of control feeling.

Then he looked up at Chen Xun and tried to keep his voice steady: "what did you do this for?"

“……”

Chen Xun gently exhaled, with a kind of doubt in his eyes, looking at Lu Xin who seemed calm.

Fingers unconsciously turning the glass, golden wine, small amplitude shaking.

After a long time, he whispered, "you finally asked this question."

"At one time we tried to make you understand, but at that time, you were too young."

As he spoke softly, he looked up at Lu Xin with Frank eyes and said, "we are trying to understand and master these forces."

"When the red moon appears in the sky, we already know that there are some changes that human beings can't refuse."

"We've found a power that's always with us, but we haven't found it."

"This kind of power can easily destroy our civilization, order and everything we are proud of."

"At that time, there were too many people who surrendered in front of this force and willingly accepted everything."

"It's like a mouse who meets a cat and even forgets to resist..."

“……”

"But there are always people who are not willing, just like us."

He gave a little pause and looked up at Lu Xin. There seemed to be some pride in his voice

"You can understand that we are the people who want to steal kindling!"

"No matter what we face, we all believe that one day, we can understand it and completely control it..."

"Man is born to control power, isn't he?"

Chen Xun said, with a smile on his face, and said, "since we learned to use tools, civilization has been born."

"The history of our civilization is a process of learning to control."

"The lightning, earthquake and gale in ancient times were the disaster of extinction for human beings, but we gradually understood and learned to control, so modern civilization came, and the appearance of the red moon was also the disaster of extinction, and we must be able to control it."

"Like the darkness..."

He suddenly looked up and pointed to the bar.

Most of the bars were submerged in the dark, quiet and motionless.

"In the face of darkness, we don't expect to wait for the sun to rise."

Chen Xun looked into Lu Xin's eyes and said softly, "we will try to light the candle and light it up."

……

"Buzz" "buzz" "buzz"

One by one, the impact, like the tide, squeezed Lu Xin's mind.

Some of Chen Xun's words he heard, some did not hear, even in front of his eyes, Chen Xun's face, is sometimes close, sometimes far away, like a pair of people in their hands, constantly rubbing, open the painting, the real world has a kind of unreal absurdity.

At this time, his sister hugged his arm tightly and her face was full of tears.

Father is like walking out of the shadow, his tall figure, is around himself, anxiously walking.

"Kill all, kill all..."

"He is a madman, all of them are madmen..."

"He treats everyone as a toy, so we treat him as a toy too!"

"Let him regret and always remember the pain..."

"Let him understand the price of doing such a thing..."

“……”

"Don't you talk yet, will you?"

Lu Xin couldn't help it. He slowly turned his head and said to his father and sister.

Father and sister stopped, just looking at him with a gloomy face.

Lu Xin clenched his fists in distress, pushed the top of his temple and thumped it heavily.

He seems to be trying to calm his confused mind.

Then he raised his head, eyes are full of blood, staring at Chen Xun.

"Then you can..."

He tried to keep his voice steady: "can you just cut people off at will?"

“……”

The candles on the bar suddenly went out.

Chen Xun has been quiet. When he sees Lu Xin talking to him, he has already closed his mouth.

He just calmly looked at Lu Xin, staring at his wandering eyes, and the blood in his black and white eyes. He felt how upset he was at this time by Lu Xin's fist pushing his temple.

After a long silence, he gently held his glasses, and then slowly lit the candles.

"What do you want to tell me about the bottom line even in the pursuit of truth and the greatest goal?"

He opened his mouth gently and looked directly into Lu Xin's eyes. There was no fear on his face: "I'm sorry!"

"I'm not going to discuss with you such a naive question."

“……”

Lu Xinmeng raised his head, and his strange eyes fell on Chen Xun's face.

"Kill him, kill such a person..."

"I'm going to chop him into meat sauce..."

"Absolutely, absolutely not allow him to do such things to anyone again..."

Sister and father are toward Chen Xun, like want to tear Chen Xun to pieces on the spot.

But their hands are still a long way from Chen Xun.

At this time, Lu Xin could vaguely hear the sound of shooting, the sound of heavy objects smashing, and the cry of some people on the other side of the building.

This made him understand that maybe in another direction, Chen Jing and they had already begun to try to enter the laboratory and met some powerful enemies.

At the same time, he also realized that this relative is now in a hurry to do something else.

Lu Xin's fingers convulsed, shaking uncontrollably.
