Since The Red Moon Appeared

The doll becomes an old man.

Sounds a little creepy.

But the same is true of the pollution that I encountered in the small courtyard before. I couldn't detect it myself, but it changed in the eyes of others.

So Lu Xin felt that there was no need to panic.

He took a deep breath, raised his head and looked around, and immediately found that the shadows and objects around him had all changed.

I am in a lively small town.

Next to it is a flowing river, a wall made of bluestone, and a lively crowd, and the horizon is a warm sunset.

On both sides of the road, there are a dazzling array of shops, and the entrance of each shop is full of flowers.

This town has come by itself.

When he first entered this wilderness, he saw a phantom formed by spiritual radiation.

That phantom is what the city looks like.

When I first entered the museum, the life scenes I saw in the bottle were also in this small town, but the difference from before was that I used to look outside the bottle, but now I am in the bottle in.

Finally got into the bottle.

...

Slightly dizzy, Lu Xin looked around and saw many people following him.

They have a well-behaved, but unusually silent girl.

There is a woman with short cheeks and a gentle face.

There was a simple and honest man with a lame leg.

There were also two little boys who looked like they were stubborn.

The things they carry in their hands are also different. Some people are carrying vegetables in their hands, while others are pushing bicycles.

In his hand, he also carried meat and a bottle of liquor.

"Go big."

The man pushing the bicycle urged, "Fengxia and Kugen are hungry, and Youqing is also hungry."

Lu Xin didn't know who these people were, but he suddenly realized that these were the dreams of the old man.

I came in through the characteristics of the old man, and what I integrated into was his life.

If you look closely, you can see that there are two old people around at this time, plus yourself, there are three in total, but people in this small town can't find the fact that there are three old people, in their eyes, they and the doll , is also the old man.

So he breathed a sigh of relief, figured out which one was the doll from the standing position, took her hand, and stepped aside.

The family didn't seem to think there was anything strange, they just walked to the end of the road with the old man, talking and laughing slowly.

"Jiazhen, go back and cook some meat for them."

"Okay, let's stew more today, everyone will eat it!"

"..."

The family is so harmonious, it is really beautiful.

...

"Is this town a world in a bottle?"

When the old man walked away, Lu Xin looked up at the blue and clear sky that seemed to always appear in this small town.

The sky is actually fake.

Because people who enter this town will take the initiative to immerse themselves in beautiful dreams, so they will not find problems.

But Lu Xin entered the town with a skeptical attitude, so everything was incompatible in his eyes. He could even see that the whole town was like a mirror with cracks. A serious sense of patchwork and refraction.

When Lu Xin was suspicious, a kind of power seemed to appear in the town.

In the azure blue sky, a pair of eyes suddenly opened, and his eyes swept across the whole town coldly.

It also realizes that there are forces coming in that do not belong to the museum.

...

"call……"

Lu Xin raised his head, looked at the pair of eyes growing in the sky, and smiled at it.

It can be felt that at this time, there seems to be a kind of power spreading over the whole town.

I want to completely engulf him, and even cut off part of his spiritual power.

This should be the instinct of the Calamity Museum to collect some of his memories.

And this part of the memory should be the last thing I want to see, or even forget, this is part of the collection.

"If you can be attracted by disaster, what do you see from me?"

Wei Wei muttered to himself, Lu Xin slowly took a step forward.

"crunch..."

A crisp sound came, and the surrounding scene suddenly appeared a kind of distortion and folds of glass.

It was like being in a calm lake, and any movement could cause huge changes in the world.

From this point of view, breaking this town seems to be a very simple thing.

So, he took another step forward slowly.

Crash.

More changes appeared around him one after another, turning into images that reflected different rays of light.

Imperceptible subtle spiritual power surged from all directions.

This kind of spiritual power seems to be able to directly pull out the memory deep in one's mind.

People are always habitually hiding a lot of memories.

But this kind of memory sometimes jumps out involuntarily, smashing all the peace and joy at once.

Lu Xin was like this at this time, even more turbulent.

Infinite memories, like a fountain churned in the depths of the brain.

The hallucinations occurred frequently in front of him, and he suddenly saw his mother, father, and sister. They looked at him not far away, smiled and waved to him, then turned around lightly, and slowly walked into a long corridor , closed the iron door.

Lu Xin recognized that corridor, which he had seen in his dream.

There was a dull and oppressive feeling in my heart.

He watched his mother, father, and sister disappear, and he seemed to want to keep them in his heart, but he didn't.

He continued to walk forward, and everything around him suddenly changed like a revolving lantern. He saw a row of children appearing in front of him, all sniffling and staring at him blankly. Among the group of children, A girl in a wheelchair.

Seeing her, Lu Xin felt an unstoppable sense of guilt in his heart.

The muscles on his face moved, trying to force a smile.

But never succeeded.

He just stood quietly for a while, lowered his head, and continued to walk forward.

...

Groups of figures in front of him, like pressing the fast-forward button, flickering rapidly, he saw Little Nineteen curled up in the corner, and saw each and everyone wearing white hospital gowns, sitting in a chair. Chasing slapstick children by the river at sunset.

I also saw the kind and gracious old dean.

He wears a hat with a very low brim and a dark-colored casual suit. There are many wrinkles in the corners of his eyes, his hair has turned gray, and his back is slightly hunched, but his eyes are still the same. Bright, with a familiar smile on the corner of his mouth, like looking at his own child, he sat by the stone bridge with a smile and looked at himself quietly.

Lu Xin's heart was shaking, and a strange emotion hit his heart.

He didn't know how to face the most complicated old man in his memory, and his gratitude and hatred pierced his brain at the same time.

Standing quietly for a long time, he slowly raised his head.

With a smile on his face, he raised his hand gently and said hello to the old man on the stone bridge.

"Hello, Dean."

"..."

The voice was trembling, but still warm.

Then, he closed his eyes and slowly continued to walk forward.

"Whoa..."

The surroundings suddenly changed.

There were bloody corpses everywhere. In the nearby shops, the lights were on and off, and the bright red blood flowed from his feet. Those familiar faces just now fell one after another in a pool of blood.

Lu Xin was so stimulated by the bloody smell that filled his nostrils and his mutilated faces that he almost went mad.

Nosebleed spring water flowed out, wetting the front of his shirt.

This time, in his heart that he had planned for a long time, he suddenly had a strong desire.

Want to agree to the request of this small town.

He knew that at this time, the town, or the Museum of Calamity, was negotiating with him, and it was relying on its instinct to want him to give this memory, or this feeling, to it, and accordingly, You can get better from it.

This is indeed attractive.

But Lu Xin slowly raised his head, then shook his head gently: "I refuse."

"This is indeed some very bad things. In this life, even in the next life, even forever..."

"I don't want to experience it again."

"But, I still can't give it to you."

"after all……"

He spoke slowly, his voice trembling that he didn't realize: "Pain or misfortune, it's all my own, the reason why I feel the pain is not because of these memories, which originally appeared there. On a good basis?"

"The beauty of being destroyed is pain."

"But even if it is destroyed, I will not give you these real things in exchange for false illusions..."

"..."

In fact, there is no need to say these words at this time, but Lu Xin still said it very seriously.

When he finished saying these words and raised his head again, he saw that all the figures in front of him were disappearing, bloody faces, twisted and weird pictures, those who had appeared in his own life. , whether they were with him, forgotten by him, or had been found, they all appeared at the other end of the town and slowly disappeared.

Including the old dean, he also stood up, stood among these people, and waved to himself gently.

Then, slowly disappear.

At the same time, it was not only the people around Lu Xin who disappeared.

There are many people in the town, and with each of them as the center, many other figures are projected. These figures, constructed from each other, are intertwined into such a crowded town. From an onlooker's point of view, it is impossible to tell them apart. their authenticity.

After Lu Xin rejected the museum's deal, he saw the true face of this town.

In his field of vision, the false bustling and lively images of the town are also rapidly disappearing.

Many people immediately went from being surrounded by people to being alone.

In front of the burnt-down shop, the shop owner sat slumped.

The old man who stooped and walked alone towards the sunset.

Lying on a wooden bed in the red light district, a numb girl with her eyes open.

There has never been any happiness or beauty in this small town, there are only painful and numb souls.

It's still three shifts today!
