"What are these?"

Looking at the rows of handwriting, Lu Xin felt a very complicated emotion in his heart.

Perhaps, there is not only the hatred and nostalgia in my heart because I saw the handwriting of Old Director again, but also the doubts caused by this inexplicable report card, and even the vague understanding of something from the literal meaning... panic?

When this complex emotion appeared on Lu Xin's face, Mom was also looking at the report card seriously, frowning slightly. There was a moment of confusion, but it soon turned into surprise. Finally, her face showed a slight expression of surprise, admiration for this Old Director, and that kind of worry and doubt that felt a little incredible.

"What is this?"

The younger sister and the father glanced at Lu Xin, a little disappointed, and then looked at Mom at the same time.

Mom obviously dislikes these two ignorant people.

He just shook his head slightly, looked at Lu Xin who was staring blankly at the roll of paper, and said, "Do you understand?"

Lu Xin was silent for a while and shook his head slightly.

Then, he also raised his head and looked at Mom with a questioning look in his eyes.

Mom looked at these three unlearned guys and whispered, "No matter what your attitude towards that person is, sometimes, you have to admire him. As a person, there are some things about him that are too amazing."

Lu Xin, his sister and father, the three of them looked at Mom, their expressions were still a little confused.

Mom shook his head helplessly and said, "What did that girl say to you when she left?"

Lu Xin was slightly startled and said, "She seemed to be talking about something. I didn't expect that I could pass...'Trial of Cognition'?"

As he spoke, he lowered his head. On the scroll, the test of knowledge was ranked fourth.

There is no score behind this, just a question mark.

This may mean that when writing this transcript, Old Director didn't know what to fill in at the end?

"Have you never thought about why she would give it to you now?"

Mom looked at Lu Xin's confused eyes and asked softly.

Lu Xin shook his head happily.

Mom took a deep look at Lu Xin and said, "This may be because it is useless for her to give you this report card before there is a result in this matter. Therefore, she will only give it to you after you complete the fourth trial."

"So, in this incident, you completed the task they call 'Trial of Cognition'..."

After hearing what she said, Lu Xin's expression remained unchanged.

But the father and sister seemed to suddenly understand something and glanced at Lu Xin secretly.

Lu Xin After a while, he said softly, "Then what do the others mean?"

Mom's gaze swept across Lu Xin's face and said:

"Everything else has already achieved results, which naturally means that you have passed the trial."

"..."

Lu Xin fell silent again, recalling slowly.

I have passed the trials, so what are these trials related to?

Maybe, you understand it too?

During this process, Mom did not disturb him, and even shook his head at his father and sister.

In fact, they have already guessed the contents of the previous trials.

Trial of Life.

The child who was deeply contaminated was discovered by Research Institute, and then a series of complex surgeries and various experiments were performed on him under impossible circumstances. In the end, he was miraculously cured in a situation that was recognized as impossible to cure.

This is a child who has experienced the trial of life and death from the very beginning.

Trial of Pain.

The group of children who tried to escape from the orphanage faced the most cruel scene they could remember.

Whether it's blood or fire.

Or some screams that linger in the ears for a lifetime. They are pain and torture that even adults cannot bear. However, that kind of pain and torture does permanently change some things, making the development of the situation no longer so desperate.

Trial of Desire.

Step by step, I became familiar with the work of the Special Purity Department, and became a qualified Special Purity Department staff step by step. Then, in the process of dealing with the Happy Town incident, I met the group of people who were dead and still had to take responsibility. I sympathized with the group of painful souls collected in Museum of Calamities. After that incident, I finally had the idea to protect the city...

Even Kid was convinced by him.

How can we say that protecting a city is not a desire?

As for Trial of Cognition this time...

Whether it is Mom, his father, or his sister, they all know what happened to Lu Xin just now.

Even they, seeing how serious the situation was, were worried that they were not sure whether Lu Xin would be completely affected by that strong and terrifying divine power, causing him to really have a cognitive illusion, and he might actually regard himself as a god.

But the strange development of the situation made Lu Xin finally realize that he was really just Lu Xin...

And Special Pollution Cleanup from Qinggang Special Purity Department (part-time)

and children in harmonious families

And, the orphanage kid who hates Number Seven.

The content of these types of trials can be easily understood with a little association.

However, the family members had a tacit understanding and did not discuss these matters openly.

So, they all naturally thought of another place.

"That old man is a bad guy..."

My sister said, "That woman is also a bad person, I don't like her..."

"Haha, what kind of trial is not a trial? What does he think of us?"

The father sneered, "Does he think he is a god who controls everything?"

Even Mom seemed to be a little disdainful and said, "He is indeed very confident and dares to send this kind of thing..."

After the whole family expressed their disdain at the same time, they said, "Look, what's behind..."

Trial of Strength.

Trial of Heart.

Trial of God?

The whole family looked at these questions and fell into deep thought: If each trial is a fate that Lu Xin has been unable to avoid since he was very young, then what content do these last three trials correspond to each other?

Even they did not dare to take these questions lightly.

Because judging from the past, each of those things indeed had a great impact on Lu Xin.

Transcripts often represent evaluations and expectations.

So, if this report card specially sent to Lu Xin represents the expectations of Old Director...

What is he ultimately looking forward to?

Lu Xin After thinking silently for a while, he said softly, "They are all meaningless things."

"If you want to know, just ask him directly when you find him."

"Eclipse Research Institute promised me that I would find him. Maybe I should urge them to try harder."

"As for other things, it's just his wishful thinking."

"..."

This sentence seemed to set the standard for this conversation, and even the family members stopped saying anything.

"Keep an eye on them for me, please?"

Lu Xin lifted Han Bing, looked at Mom, and said softly, "No. 7 may still be in this city. I'm worried about what she will do."

"Especially, she already hates Han Bing."

"I remember that No. 7 was a very vengeful person."

"..."

Mom Listening to Lu Xin's request, he seemed to feel something unexpected.

At this time, Lu Xin didn't look unfamiliar to her, but she felt too familiar.

Because of this feeling, it's hard to say anything.

Looking at Lu Xin's slightly darkened eye circles, a gentle expression slowly appeared on her face.

He gently pressed Lu Xin's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, don't think too much, I will watch them for you."

After finishing speaking, she looked up at her father and sister and said, "Want to go out for a walk?"

Both father and sister looked at each other a little bit.

Obviously, they didn't want to at all, but it seemed that Mom didn't want them to refuse, so they all nodded slowly.

Lu Xin I don't know if my family members leave private space for themselves, but I just heard their footsteps walking away.

The room became quiet, eerily quiet.

The night seemed to be dissipating, and a faint fish belly white appeared on the horizon in the distance.

He sat alone on the sofa, holding a cigarette between his fingers, but did not smoke, just letting the smoke rise slowly.

He just sat there quietly.

It was like a war in my mind, with countless pictures, bloody pictures, pouring out quickly.

There are scenes of the dead children in the orphanage many years ago with their faces stained with blood.

There are also scenes of those confused and ordinary people in the square just now calling for acquaintances in terror when they woke up.

There even appeared, the former Old Director, and myself looking down at the square.

He felt that his mind had never been clearer than at this moment.

As a result, a variety of complex emotions flooded into his brain like never before at this moment.

There is fear, regret, grievance, confusion and fear...

The report card quietly fell to the ground.

When the sky began to turn white, Lu Xin suddenly raised his hand to cover his forehead, tears welling up from his eyes.

His shoulders twitched slightly and his body was shaking.

"Why me?"

While he was thinking, he was crying silently in front of Dongfang Yubai in this deserted room.

"Mom, what's wrong with brother?"

Also at this time, the family members who had deliberately hidden themselves stood on the top of a building.

They looked at Han Bing and others who were busy in the city below, but their hearts were undoubtedly always thinking of Lu Xin in the hotel room.

"I don't know what he must be feeling at this time."

Mom said softly, "Because I haven't had it before."

"However, the taste of 'Trial of Cognition' in their mouth should be the most complicated."

"This represents a kind of torture to see whether his humanity has contaminated his divinity, or whether his divinity has contaminated his humanity."

"No matter what kind..."

Mom paused and said softly, "I think it will be a particularly painful thing."
