Feifei stopped, and after three days of sailing, Lu Xin returned to Qinggang.

Qinggang now knows that Lu Xin is on board through the radio report on the helicopter, but no one has been arranged to come out to greet him because Lu Xin told them on the intercom that he is very tired now and wants to go home and relax.

Therefore, Qinggang just silently turned on the defense system, allowing the helicopter to land directly on the City No. 2 Guard Department upstairs..

Lu Xin wrapped his clothes tightly, came down from the roof, nodded to young policewoman who was on duty in the hall, and walked out Guard Department.

Facing the rustling autumn wind, he quickly disappeared into the crowd outside.

The subway car was crowded, and Lu Xin was squeezed among a group of people getting off work.

Some of the passengers in the subway were reading newspapers, while others were dozing off against the car wall under the dim light.

Some people covered their faces with magazines to hide their gaze on the legs of girls who were dressed coolly.

Some people were holding worn-out and peeling mobile phones, and loudly discussed with the person on the other end a big deal worth millions every minute.

Lu Xin When I first got on the bus, there were no seats. After waiting for two stops, there was a seat.

But before he could sit down, an old man who was buying groceries rushed over and grabbed him with a "swish" sound.

He also glared at Lu Xin.

Lu Xin's skills were inferior to those of others, so he had no choice but to admit his defeat and continue to hold on to the handrail and squeeze into the crowd.

"Ding, Moon Platform is here."

Lu Xin looked up slightly tiredly and looked around, then followed the crowd and walked out of the carriage.

He put his hands into his pockets, looked at the people walking in all directions without any hesitation, and stood quietly for a while.

Step up and head towards home.

At this time, there were many people who did not deliberately hide their figures. They had been waiting for Lu Xin at the station, watching him from a distance.

Because of his identity as Lu Xin, he has enough power to apply to fly directly into Qinggang Satellite City No. 2 from outside the city, or he does not have to undergo a strict psychological screening before landing like other ability users who leave the city.

However, Special Purity Department must send someone over to take a look at him.

As for Lu Xin, he also feels that Special Purity Department has the absolute right to do so.

So they just carried out their tasks tacitly, either going home or watching him go home.

For the Special Purity Department, he is still very worried and hopes to go back with Lu Xin.

However, due to the confidentiality agreement and respect for Lu Xin, although they were not yet reassured, they could only end the mission here.

Qinggang Special Purity Department has an unwritten rule. "You are not allowed to enter the old building without receiving an invitation from an individual soldier."

Especially old buildings that have been renovated and disappear easily.

When Lu Xin walked into the dark corridor of the old building, there was a faint resistance in his heart.

When I was outside, I kept thinking about coming back, even thinking about coming back soon.

This caused the pilot and escort helicopter sent by Eclipse Research Institute to be under great pressure. They compressed the flight that was supposed to take four days with seven replenishment times in between, as much as possible, and returned in only three days with four replenishment times in between.

However, now that I have really come back, when I arrive in front of the old building, Lu Xin actually doesn't want to go up there.

However, you always have to return home.

With this thought in mind, Lu Xin slowly walked into the old building.

In fact, it hasn't been long since we separated from Lao Lou. After all, we were fighting side by side three days ago.

But it seems that the old building that he pulled into the wilderness is still a little different from the old building in Qinggang.

Lu Xin As soon as he came in, he felt the spiritual power surging faintly.

There seemed to be dense spiritual power in the corridor, squeezing the air a little denser than outside.

Every door was ajar, and there seemed to be eyes watching me from inside.

Lu Xin turned a blind eye to all these things and just climbed up the stairs step by step.

As he climbed the stairs, there were more and more peeping and even longing eyes in the rooms of the old building.

"Clang..."

When Lu Xin climbed to the second floor, a door suddenly opened violently.

Immediately, in the dark corridor, a pale face seemed to flash past.

A cold breath grabbed Lu Xin's arm.

He stood quietly, looked down, and suddenly saw that his arm turned into a blood-colored tentacle.

In the darkness, it squirmed gently, strange, yet handy.

With a low sigh, he continued to move forward.

"Clang..."

"Phew..."

"..."

Various noises suddenly sounded, and the doors shook violently.

Different shadows flashed in front of Lu Xin, and then quickly attached to his body.

Every time a shadow is attached, Lu Xin changes.

Or maybe an extra eye suddenly appeared on the face, and the eyeballs scanned the surroundings.

Or another face suddenly squeezed out from the back, struggling to chew up the clothes behind him so that he could see the world.

There is also a big bulge on the left shoulder, and another head wants to grow directly.

"This pimple is too big..."

Lu Xin patted his left shoulder, stopped his movement, and then whispered, "You all go back!"

"I know you were once mine."

"But, I don't want to exceed that limit anymore. This is fine now..."

"..."

There was a moment of silence, and then a cold wind suddenly swept through the dark corridor.

"Pah, pah, pah, pah, pah..."

A series of door closing sounds sounded, and all the rooms opened in an instant, and then closed heavily again.

Even the changes on Lu Xin disappeared.

He leaned against the wall and rested for a while before continuing to the fourth floor.

Arriving at Room 401, Lu Xin stood in the shadows, looked for the key for a while, and then opened the door.

The room was unusually quiet, without any sound.

Lu Xin turned on the light in the room, and dim light filled the room. However, the shabby sofa, the closed kitchen door, the half-drawn curtains, and the table by the window where the phone was placed were all empty.

There is no little girl watching TV on the sofa, no woman leaning against the wall talking on the phone, and no shadows in the kitchen.

Lu Xin came in quietly and put his bag on the sofa. The only sound was the creaking sound of the old floorboards he stepped on.

He slowly sat on the sofa without leaning his back against the back of the sofa.

Suddenly I felt that this scene was very familiar.

Back then, after the Happy Town incident had just been dealt with, the house became empty for once.

But that time, it was just a joke made by the family.

But now, my father is out retrieving what belongs to him, and my sister has not come back yet.

In this family, I really only have myself.

Probably because of an experience, Lu Xin found that he did not have strong emotional fluctuations.

That time when I went home and found no one, I still panicked and was scared.

But this time, it seemed that because he had known the result for a long time and accepted the reality, he became much calmer.

So what if it's empty?

What is empty is empty, and it will not change because of your own unwillingness.

Who hasn't suddenly accepted the reality when they returned to an empty home?

Lu Xin didn't even show any intense emotions, he just hid the deep loneliness in his heart. Sitting on the sofa silently, not even bothering to smoke. I kept sitting like this until it became completely dark outside the window where there was still some light, and the street lights outside came on one by one. He moved his body slightly and sighed slowly.

It turns out that when a person is at home alone, he will also feel hungry.

Lu Xin After procrastinating for a while, he slowly got up and went to find a bunch of noodles in the refrigerator.

Then he came to the kitchen, washed the pot, turned on the gas stove, and leaned against the wall quietly, waiting for the water to boil.

A bowl of boiled noodles and half a bag of pickled mustard in the corner of the refrigerator was enough for a meal.

Lu Xin silently guarded the pot of noodles. When the noodles were about to boil, he thought of something and added another egg.

When he returned to the dining table with the noodle bowl, the whole family was still quiet.

Lu Xin only took a pair of chopsticks, poured a glass of water and put it next to him, and then sat down gently.

The noodle bowl was steaming, and Lu Xin twisted up a ball of noodles with chopsticks.

After thinking for a while, he put it down, picked only a few, and slowly put them into his mouth.

The noodles boiled in water were tasteless. Even with a mustard stick attached, they still seemed tasteless. Lu Xin ate them slowly.

Inadvertently, his eyes glanced at the empty chairs next to the table, and suddenly his vision became blurred.

A strong feeling of loneliness surged into my heart, and tears fell inexplicably.

The home is empty.

Even if my sister and father can come back, they are not complete...

"Woof..."

Just when this sudden and intense feeling of loneliness hit me, a careful call sounded from under the table.

Lu Xin was startled for a moment, wiped his eyes quickly, and then stretched his head under the table to look.

A skinless dog curled up under the table and cautiously poked its head out, meeting Lu Xin's eyes.

I didn't expect it to dare to come out.

Lu Xin was startled for a moment, turned around and saw that there seemed to be a lot more things in the room.

There was a ball of blood, wearing a mask, swimming gently in the room.

There was an hourglass like a photographer, moving slowly in front of the TV and projecting an image.

There were a few weak spiritual forces hiding in the corner, tremblingly looking at their new home.

Lu Xin The loneliness in my heart seems to have been washed away.

He tried his best to smile, picked up a piece of egg white with chopsticks, and threw it to the skinless puppy.

I still feel a little empty inside, but my home is already very lively, what more can I ask for?

Taking a deep breath, he picked up the chopsticks again and prepared to enjoy his dinner.

But at this moment, he suddenly heard a "dong dong" knock on the window.

Startled slightly, he stood up and came to the window, opening all the curtains. I saw a beautiful face outside the window, looking at me with a sweet smile. She was wearing a beautiful dress, floating lightly in the air outside the window, waving to herself.

"Kid..."

Lu Xin was surprised, and then realized that Kid was a real person, not a spiritual body.

He hurriedly opened the window and saw the girl taking out the packing box hidden behind her and smiling to herself.

She brought supper.
