Since The Red Moon Appeared

All the turmoil and confrontation disappeared in an instant.

However, Lu Xin still stood there, feeling an extremely strange feeling in his heart.

Was it just an illusion or real?

Did I really fight this old man, or did I just have a confrontation at the spiritual level?

A very tearing feeling appeared. .

Today, my mental state has stabilized, and I have even mastered the power of fantasy. I can see through other falsehoods while using my own fantasy, but at this moment, I can't tell whether it was true or false of.

...

...

"you……"

While Lu Xin was reminiscing about the confrontation scenes just now, his mother's voice sounded behind him.

She seemed to be emotionally fluctuating, couldn't bear it, and had some doubts: "Since you don't plan to fight to the end, why do you do it?"

"Why would you rather sacrifice your own eyes for this level of temptation?"

"..."

Lu Xin didn't need to turn his head, his mother's eyes were slightly unbearable, with a feeling expression in his mind.

Opposite Lu Xin, the blind old man seemed to be able to feel his mother's intolerance, a gentle smile slowly appeared on his old and weak face, and he persuaded him: "Don't worry, actually, my My eyes are already blind..."

"The moment I can't see the truth."

"It is a comforting thing to see new existence with these useless eyes."

"..."

"..."

Mom didn't speak any more, she just let out a deep sigh.

There was no trace of hostility on the old man, and he didn't even pay attention to the black box.

Slowly stretched out both hands, touched the backs of the rows of benches, and then sat down slowly, his body trembling slightly, I don't know if it was because of pain or excitement, but the expression on his face, But at this moment, the slack stretched out.

It can be seen that he has really given up and no longer has the idea of ​​continuing to block.

"call……"

Suddenly, my father gasped heavily, like a person who has finally emerged from the deep seabed.

He looked at everything around him in horror and excitement, as if he was overjoyed, or in other words, he was alive after the catastrophe.

Just now, he was still in deep despair.

Because when the whole town was rolled over, he clearly saw the cage that was about to be closed, but he didn't choose to escape.

But he also didn't have enough confidence to meet the worst result, he was just hesitating and struggling.

But in this kind of entanglement, he finally survived that glimmer of illusory life.

He didn't abandon his family at the last moment just now.

Emotionally, this seems to be an unsatisfactory performance.

Because he was shaken.

But in fact, he has gone against his own nature and made a satisfactory choice.

Lu Xin understands his father, and even thinks that his father is actually doing well.

In life, it is not possible to force others to give affection, or to express affection that they do not possess.

That is an unreasonable behavior that is the easiest to disappoint yourself.

Looking at it now, the father did not escape just now, but stayed with his family, which is already a satisfactory result.

Therefore, he turned his head to look at his father and nodded slightly.

...

...

It took my father a few seconds to finally be sure that the great situation before him was real.

So his shadow began to tremble, like a frightened little beast, slowly, tentatively, flowing towards the front.

In the shadow, stretched out a palm, and slowly reached for the box in the dark compartment.

He was probing, with a sense of anxiety, but a sense of tension that could be withdrawn at any time.

But the blind old man just sat quietly on the bench, and didn't want to stop his performance at all.

There was even a slight smile on his face, and he said softly, "Take it."

"I took this thing back from you in the first place because I couldn't fill the world with fear."

"..."

The father obviously became vigilant, and put all his energy on the old man, and touched the box little by little.

Mom shook her head slightly, as if she felt that her father's performance was not very good.

She answered the old man's words in a low voice: "But you have never eliminated fear in this world."

"Yes."

The old man replied frankly, "At first, I thought the truth could make people forget their fear."

"It was only later that I realized that the process of pursuing the truth is itself full of fear."

"So, I also fell into confusion..."

"..."

There seemed to be endless depression in his voice, and after a long time, he forced a smile again:

"You did a good job, Fate."

He said to his mother: "At this moment, you are one step ahead of me and are closer to the truth."

Lu Xin noticed that what he said was only approaching, and he didn't say that he had "found".

"Wow..."

Also at this time, suddenly a loud voice sounded.

It was the father who finally touched the black box, and the next moment, he pulled the box over in an extremely rude manner.

From a guilty conscience like being a thief, it instantly transformed into an urgency like being a robber.

Because the action was too irritable, a row of benches was smashed by the box, making an abrupt and harsh noise.

Mother, Lu Xin, both looked at father dissatisfied.

Even the younger sister, who was crawling carefully in the church and seemed to be curiously looking for something, suddenly turned her head.

We all know that you are actually too nervous about this thing, so you are not calm and calm at all.

But in front of outsiders, isn't this a little too unmannered?

...

...

"Hehe, you don't have to be too nervous."

The old man smiled slightly at this moment, and said in a gentle tone:

"I took away your authority back then, just because I couldn't put the switch to destroy this world in your hands."

"You were too powerful back then."

"When the first time came, 70% of the people in this world had become lunatics, and the rest of the people were full of fear."

"If you are allowed to roam this land, it is true that you will have a great hope of becoming a true king and ruling the world. However, when the remaining 30% of the people lose their minds because of fear, the world There is no hope."

"..."

Lu Xin's pupils contracted slightly again.

From the old man's words, he glimpsed some truths about the past.

They all came to this world when the red moon event happened?

The old man, or the fire thief, also realized that the remaining 30% could not continue to be enslaved by fear in that disordered and chaotic world, so he attacked his father and gave this civilization Hope for rebuilding?

It makes sense...

In the wilderness full of lunatics, the people who started to gather survivors and build high walls to resist panic were great.

If they were also enslaved by fear at that time, there is indeed no hope in this world...

"Then why are you willing to pay me back now?"

Father looked at the box excitedly, almost wanting to hug it greedily.

Hearing what the old man said, he suddenly showed a fierce side and looked at him coldly.

"Because what Peeping Fate said is right."

The old man said slowly: "The fear in this world has indeed never disappeared. On the contrary, it is because some people lack fear too much, so they become radical and crazy. Therefore, I need to reinstate your authority. Back to you……"

"perhaps……"

After a slight pause, he sighed in a low voice: "The incomplete process really can't calculate the real result, right?"

After saying these words, his voice gradually weakened.

He gently raised his hands in front of his chest, quietly looked at the faceless statue, and prayed silently.

Looking at his back, his father's eyes shot out with fierce cruelty.

Suddenly, as if he was about to open a five million lottery ticket, he opened the box violently.

Woo...

There seemed to be endless grievances flying out of the box at this moment, one by one roaring and flying in the air.

They danced wildly in the church.

Passed through each of their bodies, bringing them a chill that reached their hearts.

Lu Xin even felt that his brain seemed to be frozen at this moment.

All over the body, every pore was tightly closed, and the coldness soaked into the bone marrow made the body tremble slightly.

He turned his head to look at his father, and saw that his father was looking at the black box excitedly.

Endless panic rose from the box.

It seems that the box is hell itself, with the most original painful memories of all people.

At this moment, he felt his heart beating.

There is an instinctive reaction, wanting to close the box quickly, and then bury it in the deepest ground, so that no one can find it.

But there is also a faint expectation, wanting to see what is in that box.

Mother's scissors, the Black Queen's mirror, the swordbearer's sword of judgment, and father's is...

...

...

Father raised his eyes from the box, looked at his mother in the distance, and then at Lu Xin, his eyes seemed complicated.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he became firm again, and slowly stretched his palm into the box.

The next moment, an object wrapped in endless black mist was slowly picked up from the box by his father.

The moment he saw this thing, Lu Xin felt his eyes go dark, his eyes seemed to be taken away by this thing, and as if accompanied by this thing, endless babbling suddenly rang in his ears, occupying all his thoughts, Only cold fear and cold remained.

"Hehehehe..."

The father looked at the thing obsessively, and let out a deep laugh uncontrollably.

Lu Xin's pupils shrank slightly.

Inside the box was a mask, a black mask with metallic luster.

It was like a mask made from the deepest night, filtered, and then made from the purest part.

Lu Xin just glanced at it, and felt that it could even be understood as the night itself.

In the deep night, the deepest fear is hidden most.

For many people, night is inherently fearful, and this fear is hidden in their genes.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Father's laughter suddenly expanded endlessly, as if shaking the whole world.

Then he took a deep breath, greedily, and quickly slapped the thing on his face.
