The old security guard was deeply immersed in memories, and the deep fear finally disappeared from his face.
If he had to describe it, at this time, he seemed to be a little more relieved because of the changes in Lu Xin in his memories.
He seemed to understand what Lu Xin said and nodded. He did not talk about the details after meeting again. Instead, he looked up at Lu Xin and said in conclusion, "In short, at the beginning, I was still a little afraid of you, but I didn't dare to drive you away. But I kept observing and found that you seemed to have really changed. You have become particularly mediocre, ordinary, and kind-hearted like ordinary people."
"If I had to describe how I feel about you..."
The old security guard was silent for a while, then looked at Lu Xin and said, "I have seen you in three different states."
"Other ability users often go from stable to out of control."
"And you, on the other hand, went through this state in reverse, from being extremely out of control to becoming normal little by little..."
"..."
The old security guard finished saying what he wanted to say, and the atmosphere in the restaurant became quiet again.
The hospitable owner of the small restaurant was yawning while waiting for them to finish eating. During this period, he stretched out his head to take a look. Seeing that they no longer had the tense atmosphere, he nodded with satisfaction and expressed approval for the behavior of the three of them.
"That's right, three big men, what can't you say?"
"..."
"..."
Lu Xin was silent for a long time, just thinking about what the old security guard said.
A total of three years have passed since the first generation of researchers picked me up and left until I met Teacher Lu again.
To be precise, it was less than three years.
Before meeting Teacher Lu, although my memory was still chaotic, in fact, I still had a little bit of memory. I remembered that I studied in high school, that I entered a company, and that I lived alone for many years...
My own memory, from that blank space to meeting Teacher Lu, became completely clear. It was a gradual process.
From this perspective, my real blank time is actually a little more than a year.
So, what exactly happened this year?
When I went to Research Institute, I did hear Dr. An say that those who are leading research in Research Institute now are strictly speaking second-generation and first-generation researchers. They were already people before Crimson Moon incident happened. It can also be considered that they were the earliest founders of Crimson Moon Research Institute at that time. They established Crimson Moon Research Institute as early as the pre-civilization era.
However, that Dr. An doesn't know anything about them.
Or did she lie to herself at that time?
However, what was the purpose of a generation of researchers taking themselves away at that time?
The old security guard said that he knew them, but how did he know them?
prison...
What concept does it represent?
His mind was gradually occupied by these different questions, and Lu Xin was silent for a long time.
No. 8 and the old security guard were both silent.
They seemed to be sitting there in a posture that was completely lost or ready to accept punishment.
Wait for yourself to give them results.
However, at this time, I was also in no mood to deal with these things.
So, after being silent for a long time, he took a long breath and said, "Let's talk about these things later."
"It's getting late today and I'm a little tired."
"..."
No. 8 and the old security guard both raised their heads to look at him in surprise.
No. 8 had an expression of disbelief on his face, as he wanted to say something but was unsure.
The old security guard was an accident.
"Life is too complicated..."
Lu Xin stood up slowly, smiled slightly and said, "But I always have to work hard to manage, right?"
"So, let's each handle our own affairs..."
"..."
As he spoke, he turned his head and said to the restaurant owner, "Check out!"
After a pause, he added, "Pack away the unfinished food."
Leaving the old security guard and No. 8 behind in the restaurant, Lu Xin walked out of the restaurant alone carrying the packed vegetables.
At this time, the street had returned to silence.
Those who planned to go home tonight have already returned home, and those who did not plan to go home have also fallen asleep in the shelter. On the narrow street, not even a car with the lights on could be seen, only the dim lights were on alone.
Lu Xin walked slowly on the street, with no intention of letting Special Purity Department send a car for him.
In fact, when facing No. 8 and the old security guard just now, he didn't say a lot of things and could only keep them in his heart.
The communication with No. 8 and the old security guard was very successful.
He and No. 8 confessed, and the old security guard did not hide anything and told everything about what happened before.
This was a successful exchange, and Lu Xin can only express praise, but I have to say that seeing how painful and fearful they all were because of their past selves, it was inevitable that I would feel a little bit disappointed. Was their past selves really so terrible?
Whether it is No. 8 or the repentant old security guard, they are still kind-hearted people in essence...
But at that time, I only knew how to destroy and kill, bringing endless fear and pain to others...
How can you blame them for being afraid of themselves?
He was eager to leave and did not want to express any more opinions because he felt that he was really not qualified to make accusations...
Maybe if you work harder in the future, you can eliminate this impression on others?
Thinking about these questions, Lu Xin stopped at an intersection.
On the empty streets, only the Crimson Moon in the sky kept company with me.
He suddenly realized that he was still more than ten kilometers away from home, and he didn't know when he would be able to return on his own two legs.
It's like, some hope in my heart seems to be very close, but I don't know how long it will take.
After standing silently for a long time, Lu Xin took steps again.
Even though it's far away, you still have to walk back, even if there's no one left on this road...
Lonely people are shameful, but who has allowed themselves to do bad things in the past?
"Crash..."
Also when Lu Xin had these thoughts, there was a light sound of chains colliding behind him. Lu Xin was slightly surprised. He turned his head and saw Kid slowly falling from the air. The white chains swayed and made a pleasant sound...
She hasn't rested yet?
Lu Xin looked at her, hid the bag behind his back, and said with a smile, "I can't give you the leftovers this time. I remember that you like to eat food with beautiful colors and beautiful shapes. The foie gras last time was like that. I thought you would like it when I saw it. This time it was just made casually by a roadside restaurant. It's oily, greasy, and fried to a black paste. You won't like it."
Kid didn't seem to understand what Lu Xin was saying at all, and just slowly fell next to Lu Xin.
Lu Xin walked forward, and she followed silently. When Lu Xin looked at her, she smiled, but still didn't like to talk.
Behind him, the sound of a helicopter sounded.
It seems that Nanny Squad discovered that Kid was missing, and immediately ran to Satellite City No. 2 to find someone.
However, after observing from a distance, the sound of the helicopter quickly disappeared, as if it did not want to disturb them.
"Kid's performance today seems a bit strange?"
The captain of Nanny Squad, with a group of members, arrived at the Satellite City No. 2 Guard Department landing.
A group of people drove vehicles and rushed towards the area where Lu Xin and Kid were located.
"Is it weird?"
Someone asked doubtfully, "Isn't she always like this when she meets a single soldier?"
"I have always shown closeness, but this time, it seems that there is something more than closeness..."
The captain of Nanny Squad said doubtfully, patted the driver in front on the shoulder and said, "Don't get too close this time."
"Give them some personal space."
"..."
"..."
On a quiet street.
Lu Xin and Kid walked silently on the deserted street, their two shadows stretched very long under the street lights.
"You are really stupid..."
Lu Xin walked slowly and said helplessly, "Don't you know I used to be a monster?"
Kid tilted his head slightly, looked at Lu Xin's expression, and then shook his head slightly.
"I'm really, really lucky..."
Lu Xin turned his head slightly, hid his eyes, and walked forward silently.
And Kid still just silently followed Lu Xin, accompanying him on this long and unknown night road.
Occasionally, when I turned to look at Lu Xin, a distant scene appeared in my mind.
When Kid was very young, she came to Qinggang. She was wearing dirty clothes, stained with a lot of blood, and her little face was full of fear.
She was surrounded by countless crazy people and hid helplessly in the corner. She couldn't control her mental power, and she didn't know whether these people liked her or were a group of demons who just wanted to eat her. The feeling of fear overwhelmed her entire heart...
Kid didn't know how to deal with it, so she could only hold her little head and tremble with fear. She was used to such scenes, but there were always times when her mental strength was on the verge of collapse because of too much pressure.
But at this moment, another child walked over from the street in the distance in confusion.
The crowd, whose love for Kid reached a point of craziness, suddenly stopped moving one by one as if they were frozen.
Kid After a long time, he carefully exposed one eye and looked outside.
The little boy walking from a distance was also covered in blood and dirty, but he walked straight past Kid and glanced down at Kid. His eyes were full of black particles, which instantly calmed Kid's chaotic mental power.
Kid's spiritual power also affected him to some extent.
So he stopped and looked at Kid steadily. Their eyes intertwined, and the world seemed to stop.
After a while, he slowly stretched out his hand, pulled Kid up, and then continued to walk forward.
It was as if two ripples on the water separated again with a slight touch.
Just this one contact doesn't even mean anything.
For many years after that, they never crossed paths again, and even one of them, Ripple, didn't remember the incident at all.
However, who can say that they have not collided?
