When Lu Xin's suppressed and angry roar sounded, the twisted force field on his body was also violently activated with the roar.
The surrounding air instantly became distorted layer by layer.
Like a vibrating ripple, it instantly surged to the surrounding walls and then bounced back.
During this process, the distortion force field filled the entire office and submerged all the black threads. In just a moment, all the black threads were broken and fell to the ground. They struggled painfully and disappeared bit by bit. And those messy, overlapping laughter, and strange figures were also washed away instantly, making sharp screams, and then washed away by his spiritual power.
Even Teacher Lu suddenly stopped struggling. When he looked at her again, he found that everything just now seemed to be just an illusion. There were no black threads on her body. She was just lying quietly on the sofa. Only the bandage on her wrist was unusually conspicuous.
The office was shaking, like it was in an earthquake.
In the security booth at the gate, the old security guard suddenly raised his head and took the shotgun he had prepared in his hand.
But looking at the only dimly lit office in the teaching building, he hesitated, wondering whether he should go up.
"No. 9..."
A long time after Lu Xin roared, and after the office stopped shaking, a voice rang softly.
Lu Xin turned his head indifferently and looked at the door of the bathroom behind.
The door of the bathroom is in tatters and is half open and half closed. The mirror can be seen through the broken holes.
Lu Xin saw a person slowly walking out of the mirror.
He was wearing a black suit and carrying a silver suitcase.
As if he had gotten through a window, he got out of the mirror in a slightly embarrassed manner, and then walked out of the bathroom.
The white shirt seemed to be stained with blood, and his hair was not neatly combed as before.
When he came to the living room, he looked at Lu Xin, Xu Jing, or No. 8, with painful eyes.
The moment he saw him, Lu Xin couldn't help but move.
She wished she could immediately pull him to her and question him properly.
"It wasn't me just now..."
But before Lu Xin's palm grabbed his neck, No. 8 sighed deeply and whispered:
"I didn't make her do this."
"I also noticed that she had suicidal thoughts, so I rushed here from outside the city."
"..."
Lu Xin's palm stopped in front of him.
In fact, he could also feel it. Before Teacher Lu cut his wrist, there was no clear fluctuation of mental power.
Even the madness and weirdness that appeared in the bathroom just now only appeared due to strong mental changes after she committed suicide.
"So, what's going on?"
Lu Xin slowly lowered his palm, remained silent for a moment, and kicked the chair under his feet in front of No. 8.
This is to ask him to sit down. After all, hospitality is required.
"She's under too much pressure..."
No. 8 did not sit down, but just spoke in a low voice, "During this period, I have been trying hard to find a way to rescue her, but I didn't expect that even though it took such a period of time, the contract itself would have an increasing impact on her."
"I don't know if she is under pressure from other aspects, but..."
"He actually chose to try to commit suicide before execution..."
"..."
Lu Xin was silent.
But I already have the answer in my heart.
Was it because she was guarding Teacher Lu here that it made her feel more stressed?
This may be part of the reason, but more importantly, she is on the verge of collapse. Looking at her, he is just silent and stubborn, and his mental strength is slightly confused. But even if he is face to face, he does not know that she has been tortured to the extreme in her heart.
She couldn't even bear it and was ready to end her life early.
It was precisely because of this mental state that was on the verge of collapse that her spiritual power was dissipated and radiated when she committed suicide.
So I sensed her bizarre and twisted inner world.
The endless auditory hallucinations and illusions, even if I only felt them for a moment, I felt extremely depressed and painful...
And she is tortured by this feeling every day?
After a moment of silence, Lu Xin suddenly looked up at No. 8 and whispered, "So, what is going on?"
It's still the same question as before, but the content of the question is different.
Moreover, Lu Xin's tone has become heavier, and there are black particles floating faintly under his eyes.
No. 8 felt Lu Xin's anger. Standing in front of Lu Xin, he could clearly feel the pressure he put on him.
But he fell silent.
"Answer me..."
Lu Xin suddenly spoke again, and the whole room trembled.
The surrounding desks, desk lamp lights, and walls all became blurred, as if they were twisted and elongated. Only his figure became clearer in this blur, but the pressure he put on people became heavier and heavier, almost driving people crazy.
His will was strengthened in this distortion.
Just three simple words, but enough to convey more ideas.
Answer me: Why should you sign such a contract with Teacher Lu?
Answer me: What is her crime?
Answer me: Who actually accused her?
Answer me: If you can't solve this problem, how do you want to die?
"Because..."
Under the pressure given by Lu Xin, No. 8 couldn't help but take two steps back.
Invisible pressure crushed his body inch by inch, making him feel like his body was resisting a mountain.
His spirit was on the verge of collapse, and a kind of fear and awe from the instinctual level tortured his body and mind.
He could hardly bear the torture and almost collapsed to the ground.
And under this invisible pressure, he suddenly shouted with all his strength, "Because of you!"
"Uh-huh!"
Lu Xin in the middle of the invisible distortion, his eyes instantly turned cold as he looked at his face.
Number 8, on the other hand, became faintly crazy, and blood appeared in his eyes. "No one wants to judge Xiaolu."
"Me neither."
"It's you I want to judge. It's always been you."
"I want you to pay the due price for those who died in the orphanage..."
"..."
Compared with the coercion unconsciously released by Lu Xin at this time, when No. 8 was angry, both in terms of strength and oppression, it was slightly lower.
But his anger was not inferior to Lu Xin at this time.
This anger also affected Lu Xin.
Especially when he mentioned the people who died in the orphanage, Lu Xin's chaotic mental power suddenly shrank slightly.
His eyes were no longer so solid and powerful, and guilt flashed through him.
He looked at No. 8 quietly, and after a while, he whispered, "Since it's me, then..."
"I..."
No. 8 took a few deep breaths and looked at Teacher Lu lying on the sofa.
Even though she had fallen into a coma, her expression was still painful, full of guilt that she could not get rid of.
The white gauze wrapped around his wrist was extremely conspicuous in this dim office.
"I didn't expect her to do this either..."
After a while, No. 8 replied in a low voice, "I just want to seek justice for those who died in the orphanage."
"However, I want to seek justice, and I need the power of Midnight Court."
"I am a law enforcement officer and cannot accuse you, so I must find someone to accuse you..."
"..."
He spoke slowly, with an unnatural tremor in his voice. "I found Xiaolu and mentioned this matter to her."
"I told her about the fate of the children in the orphanage now, and told her who is still alive..."
"More importantly, I told her who would never survive."
"Who else has fallen into eternal fear because of you..."
"..."
"They shouldn't be like this."
He suddenly gritted his teeth and looked a little grim. "They didn't do anything wrong, why did they end up like this?"
"We are getting better and better, but why should they be forgotten?"
"So, I want to seek justice for them. I need someone to accuse you, and then..."
He raised his head suddenly and stared at Lu Xin's face. His eyes were bloodshot and he said word by word:
"Judge you."
"..."
Lu Xin fell silent. Facing No. 8 at this time, even he did not dare to look directly at him.
What he saw at this time seemed not to be No. 8, but the faces that were very clear in his memory and full of fear.
"I think I've made it clear enough."
When No. 8 said this, his voice suddenly trembled slightly again. "I also think she can understand."
He looked at Teacher Lu, helplessness and sorrow appearing on his face. "But I didn't expect that even after I explained the truth to her and assured her that I could definitely put a monster like you on trial, she still made a decision that I didn't expect. She did not refuse my request to let her accuse, but the person she accused was not you..."
"She indicted herself."
"..."
Lu Xin Hearing this, he suddenly raised his head and stopped talking.
"She said that if justice was to be given to the children who died, she was the one who should be tried."
No. 8 squatted down slowly as he spoke, looking at Teacher Lu with an indescribable tiredness. "That's why I left as soon as possible after you came back. I originally wanted to talk to you, but I have to solve this matter..."
"I'm going to explain to Midnight Court that this is a misunderstanding..."
"But I didn't expect that the problem would be so troublesome, because she not only accused herself, but also directly admitted the crime."
"Midnight Court's trial contract with her has been reached."
"And once the contract is reached, it cannot be canceled."
"What's more, Midnight Court has conducted an investigation and has determined a fact..."
As if he had exhausted all his strength, he slowly said the last words, "She is indeed guilty."
"What?"
Lu Xin already understood No. 8's previous explanation.
He even had complex emotions because of this truth and fell into deep confusion.
However, when No. 8 said his last words, he was suddenly hit by an unexpected light and a surprised light appeared.
At this moment, he even felt that Midnight Court was very absurd...
If the misunderstanding at the beginning is barely understandable, then what follows is even nonsense...
How could Teacher Lu be guilty?
Teacher Lu She...
"I am indeed guilty."
Suddenly a weak voice sounded.
Lu Xin and No. 8 turned their heads at the same time, and saw that Teacher Lu had opened his eyes at some point.
She had just lost a lot of blood, her face was abnormally pale, and she was on the verge of losing control of her spirit. Her eyes were a little dazed. She was sitting up from the sofa with some difficulty, and slowly pulled her legs under the sofa. Her movements felt blurry.
"Really."
She looked up weakly at No. 8, then looked at Lu Xin, and explained in a low voice:
"If a knife kills someone, it is not the knife that is guilty, but the person who took the knife."
"A monster eats people, and the one who is guilty is not the monster, but... the person who released the monster!"
"So, I am the one who is guilty..."
"From the beginning, it was me who caused these things to happen."
"..."
Her expression was dull, and she looked at Lu Xin in a daze. The corners of her mouth twitched slightly, revealing a weird smile:
"No. 9, I knew you were a monster from the beginning..."
