When Lu Xin called out this name, the atmosphere in the tavern suddenly became depressing.
Even though the old security guard had been prepared for it, his body still tensed slightly when he heard this call.
"Teacher Sun? You..."
Even No. 8 raised his head suddenly, his eyes fixed on the old security guard's face.
After a while, the old security guard's appearance in his eyes suddenly changed vaguely and overlapped with another person.
Suddenly, he remembered this person's identity, and his pupils shrank rapidly.
In fact, when the old security guard showed up at Crimson Moon Elementary School with a shotgun, pointed it at his face, and angrily scolded his childhood self, he already felt an unusual sense of familiarity. It felt like he might have met this person before.
However, what happened next was more shocking than the last.
All his thoughts were occupied by these things, so he never thought about them.
Until then, Lu Xin suddenly revealed his identity.
"Actually, I have recognized you a long time ago..."
Lu Xin looked at the old security guard and said calmly.
In the past memories, he actually appeared countless times, but every time, he hid in the corner of the memory.
"Now that I think about it, I have recognized you a long time ago."
"When I first returned to the orphanage with Teacher Lu, I already recognized you who was working as a security guard there."
"It's just that I could only force myself not to recognize you at that time."
"Otherwise, judging from my state at the time, I'm not sure I could control myself and not kill you."
"Sorry, Sun Zhong Teacher Sun, or should I call you... Assistant Sun?"
"..."
In the small restaurant, it was like a thunderbolt fell.
When the old security guard heard this long-lost name, he raised his head and looked at Lu Xin, but immediately lowered his eyelids.
"Yes... really?"
After a long time, he smiled reluctantly and said, "I thought it was my ability that played a role..."
Seeing the wry smile on his face, Lu Xin's calm heart slowly began to stir.
Wang Jingyun, the former director of the orphanage, had two assistants.
One was Chen Xun, who later became a member of the Black Table mysterious organization, and at Buffalo City, he conducted a "God Creation" Forbidden Experiment. This man was found by himself, he avenged his sister in his memory, and recovered Little Nineteen from him.
The other one is called Sun Zhong.
In fact, he has always been by his side, guarding Teacher Lu, being a loyal old security guard.
Maybe he is also a person with abilities. He can make people forget their past identity.
But can I really not remember what he used to be like?
Countless close and unfamiliar interactions with the old security guard, and every time I wanted to pull out all his favorite things...
Perhaps, this was originally a subconscious move...
After all, the kind-hearted old security guard was once the executioner beside Old Director.
"You..."
The moment No. 8 knew the identity of the old security guard, he opened his eyes suddenly. Even in such a tired state, he could not control his emotions. However, he immediately turned his attention to Lu Xin at this time, because he felt a little unclear...
Since Lu Xin has recognized him a long time ago, why do you want to keep him?
Lu Xin didn't get angry. Even when he revealed the identity of the old security guard, he looked very calm on the surface.
After a while, he slowly looked at the old security guard and said softly, "I want to know what happened back then?"
After a pause, he pointed to his head and said, "Especially on me."
"Huh..."
The old security guard, or Professor Sun Zhong, also let out a long sigh.
There was no expression of surprise or fear on his face, as if he was already prepared.
Then he looked calmly into Lu Xin's eyes. "Actually, I don't know much about the truth."
"But I can be sure that the changes that have occurred in you are related to the plan of the first generation researcher Crimson Moon Research Institute."
"..."
Lu Xin frowned slightly after listening to his words.
Number 8 raised his eyebrows even more, as if he had more things on his mind than Lu Xin.
"You have already remembered what happened before."
Professor Sun Zhong looked at Lu Xin and said softly, "Many things started from that out-of-control experiment."
"After the plan got out of control, the dean temporarily left to recuperate from his injuries, and also to find a way to recover the damaged experimental subjects."
"I stayed behind to finish the work and erase some unnecessary traces."
"The deer was seriously injured and its spine was broken. I was the one who saved it."
"..."
After a slight pause, he slowly spoke again and whispered, "My most important mission at that time was to erase the attention of all forces caused by this violent explosion in the chaotic situation at that time. The other mission was to find you who was out of control at the time, but the result was not smooth. Your whereabouts at that time were not difficult to find, but no one could bring you back."
"I arranged several armed forces before and after, but all of them suddenly lost news."
"When we found them again, they all died in an extremely twisted posture, with frozen fear on their faces."
"It's really, really hard for me to describe how I felt at that time..."
"..."
"..."
The old security guard spoke slowly, his voice trembling slightly. He looked at Lu Xin and No. 8, and whispered, "Now, I don't want to say anything to atone for myself, nor do I want to gain your sympathy. I just tell you what happened at that time."
"I have been following Professor Wang. I think he is the only hope to save this world."
"So, even if he makes a decision to take us out of Research Institute's control, I will follow him without hesitation."
"He, but after I followed him out, I saw his experiments, saw him getting more and more crazy in order to achieve his goals, and saw those poor children lying on the bed in the laboratory, crying softly facing the ceiling..."
His voice seemed to tremble slightly. "I began to feel that my faith was wavering."
"Honestly, it's not because of how kind I am."
"When I came out with Professor Wang, I was mentally prepared to accept everything."
"However, when I actually saw it, I still felt a strong impact in my heart."
"I just realized that the psychological construction I had done before was of no use at all."
"I feel scared every day, like I'm being fried in a frying pan."
"But I still couldn't make a decision or make a change until that happened."
"Those tragic scenes, as well as the twisted ruins of buildings, seemed to suddenly open up my heart..."
"I finally admitted to myself how cruel what I did was..."
"..."
"..."
The old security guard's face showed an expression of extreme pain and struggle, as if he was back to facing his heart again.
However, he tried hard to hide this emotion.
He didn't seem to want Lu Xin and No. 8 to think that this was a false confession he made deliberately to alleviate his sins.
Lu Xin and No. 8 also just sat quietly next to the small table.
They could understand what the old security guard said, but as people who had experienced it, they were not moved by such words. I also couldn't say any words of comfort, so I could only sit across from him quietly and listen to the old security guard telling these things.
The old security guard also paused for a moment, as if adjusting his emotions, and then said slowly:
"At that time, I had almost no one available. The out-of-control 'tyrant' had left in confusion and could not be found no matter how hard I looked. And I myself was already in a state of collapse. Therefore, at that time, I had almost lost all motivation..."
"But I didn't expect that three days had passed. Just when I was about to give up everything, I turned around..."
"... I saw the 'tyrant' in front of me."
"..."
When he said this, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Lu Xin, his voice seemed a little strange. "That is the 'tyrant' who just caused all the tragedies. He is the 'tyrant' who has activated the power of the spiritual level and can distort everything and completely erase it."
"I can't describe to you now how scared I felt at that time."
"But..."
"But at that time, I didn't escape immediately."
"In that state, I only had one thought in my mind: We unleashed a monster..."
"We pose the greatest threat to the world..."
"I don't know why the 'Tyrant' came back, but I have an idea in my mind that I have never had before."
"I hid a powerful plasma bomb in my arms and prepared to take him away with me..."
"..."
When he heard this, No. 8 couldn't help but have a strange expression on his face, and looked at Lu Xin.
Lu Xin just sat there in silence, not reacting to what the old security guard said. Just like when the old security guard mentioned him in his narration, he did not use the second person, but only used the word "tyrant" instead. Lu Xin seemed to be just listening to another person's story.
He doesn't care much about the outcome.
"But..."
The old security guard's voice rang again. He paused, and his plain tone seemed a little more bizarre:
"When I mustered up the greatest courage in my life and walked in front of him..."
"I saw in his eyes, there was not that kind of terrifying violence, but instead there was the panic of a child..."
"With tears in his eyes, he looked up and asked me..."
"Teacher, where is our home?"
"..."
"..."
In the tavern, the atmosphere became silent again, and there was a lingering sense of despair and sadness.
In Main City in Qinggang, next to the unfinished building, Nanny Squad looked at Kid sitting on the edge of the building from a distance, and wanted to persuade her to go back and rest, but Kid did not hear their persuasion and just sat silently on the edge of the building, seemingly trapped in long-lasting memories.
At the corner of her mouth, a happy smile like a little girl slowly appeared.
Liver up, liver up!
In addition, Daoist Bao has become a father, congratulations!!
