When I came out of the orphanage, it was already eight or nine o'clock at night.
In Satellite City, except for those depraved places that Gecko often went to, it was already very deserted at eight or nine o'clock.
The streets were quiet, with only the light of street lamps quietly illuminating the darkness.
Walking on such streets, you can almost hear your own breathing. It seems like I am the only one left in this world, except occasionally in the street, there will be a mouse running past at a very fast speed, or a homeless man curled up in a cardboard box, staring at people.
Lu Xin put his hands in his pockets and walked slowly.
The night was very fulfilling. He could see that Teacher Lu was in a good mood, and the silly children became happy when they saw their teacher in such a good mood. Of course, a more important reason for their mood may be because they finally ate dumplings today, and they also got so many cookies and candies brought by Lu Xin. It felt like a Chinese New Year.
Lu Xin put on an apron, made dumplings with these children, and then watched them singing and dancing, I just felt...
... It's so embarrassing!
He didn't find the songs that ran hundreds of meters out of tune and the clumsy duck-like dances attractive at all.
I don't think Lao Ying Chi Xiao Ji is fun either.
It's a pity that I still can only sit among a group of kids, clapping mechanically and smiling stiffly.
The most pleasant part of the whole night was when I was just sitting on the steps outside with the old security guard, eating a plate of peanuts, a plate of cold dumplings, and drinking his treasured Lao Baigan, which was so spicy that it burned my throat.
But the feeling this night was very good.
Lu Xin didn't like the singing and dancing of these children, but he hoped that they would be warmly dressed, well fed, and live happily.
What's more, Teacher Lu's heartfelt smile is really beautiful.
Thinking about the experience of this night, Lu Xin walked slowly on the street, and the street lamps cast many double images of his shadow.
He was so immersed in his thoughts that he didn't seem to notice that when he passed the door of a store that was still open, there was a man with a big beard, a pair of black glasses, and an extremely thin figure sitting under the patched sun umbrella in front of the store. He sat on a plastic chair with his legs crossed, drinking Coke through a straw and smiling to himself.
He also didn't notice that when he passed by a street intersection, in front of a wall covered with colorful graffiti, there was still the same man, with a cigarette in his mouth and two in his pockets, leaning against the wall in a comfortable posture, looking at him and smiling.
And when he was about to reach the nearest subway station, the man sat in front of the wild wonton stall at the subway entrance.
While smiling at Lu Xin, he waited for the boss to bring him wontons.
Lu Xin's footsteps suddenly stopped, and he turned his head to look at the man, his eyes statue of God were a little out of focus.
The man met Lu Xin's eyes and showed a happy smile.
Lu Xin looked at him quietly, and the man smiled very kindly.
Lu Xin looked at him quietly. The man smiled happily.
Lu Xin looked at him quietly, the man's smile became a little stiff...
Then Lu Xin pulled the bag he was carrying, took out the pistol from inside, and pointed it at him.
The man was slightly shocked when he was pointed at a gun.
However, he didn't mean to be afraid. Instead, he smiled again, as if he wasn't worried about Lu Xin shooting at all.
Then Lu Xin suddenly pulled the trigger.
"Crack!"
In this quiet night, the gunshots were harsh, loud, and shocking.
Several diners at the wonton stall nearby were suddenly startled by the sudden gunshots and fell to the ground. The owner of the food stall screamed and almost fell down. However, what people did not expect was that at such a close distance, the man suddenly tilted his body strangely and supported the ground with one hand. This sudden movement also allowed him to avoid the bullet.
He seemed a little frightened and angry. "You..."
Lu Xin didn't answer and continued to shoot at the man.
Snap! Snap! Snap!
The man's figure suddenly became abnormally distorted. He supported the ground with one hand, but his whole body jumped up violently. When he stepped on the aluminum cart of the wonton stall with his feet, his whole body bounced out, and he kicked the wonton stall's cart far away.
Of the three bullets, only one grazed his arm, but the injury was obviously not serious.
"Are you crazy?"
Being in the air, he glanced at Lu Xin in surprise and annoyance, cursed, and ran away directly.
Lu Xin gritted his teeth and chased after him.
At this time, he took a big step away, still holding the gun in his hand, ready to shoot him when he got the chance. However, the man was surprisingly flexible at this time. After running out, he pressed his feet and hands on the wall next to him, and then threw himself further forward. When his body began to fall, he opened his hands outwards. It was clear that there was nothing in his hands, but his body bounced upwards.
It was as if he reached out and caught two invisible threads.
This prevented him from being anxious at all. His body fell together as if he was flying in the air.
In comparison, Lu Xin, who was chasing with only two legs, was naturally much slower than him.
In a blink of an eye, he had already put a lot of distance between him and Lu Xin. When he looked back, he was somewhat surprised.
He didn't seem to expect that Lu Xin was so slow. In addition to being surprised, he subconsciously showed a joking smile.
This smile made Lu Xin even angrier and chased him faster.
Even if my lungs are about to burst, I still want to catch up with this person.
As he ran wildly, the road behind him soon came to an end. There was a deep construction pit in front of him. The road suddenly broke off here. A guardrail was placed at the end, and there was a dark danger below. Farther away, under the distant light, there are some ferocious steel lines and broken brick walls. Going down the road, there may be a deep pit or an inverted sharp steel bar.
And this man easily reached the end of the broken road. He jumped up and jumped three or four meters away. He stretched out one hand as if grabbing an invisible thread, and then with a swing of his strength, he rushed towards a broken wall section of the incomplete building.
His entire figure seemed to be about to disappear into the darkness.
At this time, he also looked back at Lu Xin, as if thinking: If he has chased him here, he won't chase him anymore, right?
But he didn't expect that when Lu Xin rushed to the break of the road, he jumped over without hesitation. Just looking at his body that was as clumsy as an ordinary person, how could he rush over like him? Jumping into the construction pit like this was simply asking for death...
"Sister..."
When Lu Xin jumped down, I already screamed silently in my heart.
Just as Lu Xin was chasing this person all the way, a small black shadow was coming quickly from the roof and floor behind. She was extremely fast and quickly closed the distance with Lu Xin. When Lu Xin jumped off the broken bridge, she also rushed towards him.
The two small hands opened up and hugged Lu Xin, who was sinking. He let out a chuckle, "I caught you..."
At this moment, Lu Xin's figure suddenly became flexible and he stepped on it.
In the darkness below, there is a sharp section of steel pipe. If you step on it hard, your feet will be pierced.
But Lu Xin stepped on this surface, but it had no impact at all. Instead, he took the opportunity to jump into the air.
Under Crimson Moon, his figure became like a ghost.
