Chapter 2 Going Home

The dark red moon hangs low above the rows of tall buildings in the city, almost filling half of the sky.

A dark black city-circling train with many rusty parts on its body quickly passed through the entire city under the gaze of the red moon. Inside the train, people wearing various clothes Some of the passengers were reading newspapers, while others were dozing under the dim lights.

"Ding, the moon platform is here!"

Lu Xin woke up from his nap, picked up the bag, and followed the surging crowd out of the carriage.

He carried the bag and walked through the dirty and shabby steps and the newspaper-filled platform to the ground of the city. He looked up and saw the glow of the neon lights around him, which made the city seem brighter and brighter. The streets, as well as the people on the streets, have a weird feeling of being colorful, but no matter how rich the colors are on the streets, the red moon over the city still represents the background of the world.

Since the red moon incident thirty years ago, the whole world has been like this.

Of course, Lu Xin didn't know the difference. He was born after the Red Moon Incident, and the world has always been like this.

He carried his bag through the alley that had just rained, and climbed into a dilapidated old building. The elevator was broken again, so he could only take the stairs and slowly reached the fourth floor. Before room 401, he took out the key and opened the thick and heavy door.

The corridor was quiet and cold, but the room was warm and soft.

In the kitchen, Dad was stewing meat. The pressure cooker was steaming, exuding an alluring aroma of meat.

My sister is lying on the sofa, holding snacks, watching an old cartoon, SpongeBob SquarePants.

My mother is elegant and decent, wearing a white wool cardigan, standing by the window talking on the phone.

"Brother Jiu, you are back!"

Seeing Lu Xin walk in and put down the quilt, my sister raised her head and greeted her with a sweet smile.

"Xiao Qi, are you good at home today? I bought you the little bear you wanted!"

Lu Xin touched her head and put a brown bear on her head. The little bear was handed to her.

"Ah, thank you, brother, I like it so much!"

My sister jumped up happily and hugged the little bear in her arms.

"Come back?"

Mom looked up at Lu Xin, smiled and nodded: "Sit down and rest for a while, dinner will be served soon!"

Lu Xin nodded and sat at the dining table.

......

......

There are four pairs of bowls and chopsticks on the table, as well as several plates of green side dishes, and rice is placed in bowls. It's already a little cold.

However, the family had no intention of sitting down to eat.

My mother was continuing to speak softly on the phone: "Sister Zhang, in fact, what happened today is really my fault. Don't be angry. Of course, my gray cardigan is indeed old. A little bit, but how do you say it doesn’t look good? ...Yes, I called you because of this matter... Of course you didn't say it out loud, but I know you thought so in your heart..."

"No, no, don't misunderstand... ...I just want to ask you to apologize...You don't want to curse, it's too uncivilized..."

The sound of dad chopping bones became louder and louder, and his cursing voice was faintly heard: " Scum, trash, just barging into other people's homes, you deserve to die, you deserve to die... Damn, you eat so much, you can't chop it all, and you can't cook it clean! ”

My sister was happily sitting cross-legged on the sofa at this time, tearing the brown bear apart bit by bit, pulling it with two hands, and biting it with her fine white teeth. He bit off the ears and eyes of the brown bear, and then pulled off the two arms bit by bit. He watched carefully as the arms separated from the bear's body, showing an expression of excitement and satisfaction.

“We have to wait a while before eating! "

My mother has put down the phone and said softly: "I have a misunderstanding with my neighbor Sister Zhang. I will go and apologize to her!" ”

As he spoke, he took out the scissors from the drawer, walked out gracefully, and closed the door.

……

……< /p>

Lu Xin sat quietly at the dining table and waited.

He felt that he was lucky. At the beginning of the red moon incident, the world was in chaos for a long time. Here, many people died, and many orphans like Lu Xin appeared. A large part of them disappeared after they became adults, but Lu Xin was able to be adopted by his parents and have a warm life. I don’t know how many people envy my family.

Of course, this family, these family members, can be a little weird sometimes.

But this family, in this dilapidated and dirty little house. The small satellite city was still very happy.

My mother came back soon with a happy smile on her face and said: "Sister Zhang has reconciled with me! ”

Lu Xin found an inconspicuous blood stain under the collar of the white woolen sweater she was wearing, which was very fresh.

The family started to eat.

My sister was still holding her little bear. After she tore it open, she sewed it back together.

But the body was pieced together crookedly and was full of rough stitches. But my sister liked it even more than before.

My father sat at the dining table, opened a bottle of white wine with a stained label, and drank a glass of green vegetables in one go. There was no meat on the table. Dad liked to chop bones and stew meat, but he never let anyone eat it, and he never let anyone get close to his iron pot. He was still wearing a plastic bag with blood stains on it, and there were a few flies on him. Moving around.

There were sirens approaching from outside, and noisy voices kept coming, and I didn’t know what they were saying.

“Pa! ”

Dad suddenly released theAfter taking down the glass of wine, he looked out the window with blood-red eyes: "Noisy, noisy, noisy, no one knows how noisy, even a stable meal is not allowed, the Metropolitan Police Department is a waste, nothing can be found, the neighbors are a waste, they know it every day Look at others!"

"Don't scare the child!"

The mother picked up a piece of green vegetables and ate it carefully, her bright red lips dazzling in the dim light.

Lu Xin remembered that she didn’t wear lipstick.

"Damn it, kid, damn it, damn it!"

Dad was even angrier, clutching the wine bottle tightly with his fingers, veins popping out, and cursed: " Bitch, you deserve to die too!”

“Yes, in your eyes, everyone deserves to die, except you!”

My mother smiled gracefully and calmly: “Because Do you want to keep the corpses for collection in the end? You like to collect corpses from others?"

She put down the bowl and chopsticks and looked at her father with a gentle smile: "Because when those people were alive, they passed away! They are all better than you and more capable than you, so you especially don’t like to see them alive. You like to see them unable to speak anymore.”

“Shut up, shut up! Do you know?"

My father was really angered by his mother. He broke the bottle so violently that he rushed over and grabbed her neck.

"Giggle..."

Mom smiled very happily. Even though her face was purple from being pinched, her smile was still very elegant: "Waste...waste..."

p>

“Bang!”

Dad finally couldn’t bear it anymore and began to fight with fists and kicks, causing the restaurant to shake.

"Wow...Daddy, please don't hit Mommy..."

My sister was so frightened that she cried and hugged the little bear tightly. Suddenly her expression changed and she giggled wildly: "It's fun. , fun, so fun..."

While laughing, she suddenly turned over and jumped up, like a flexible spider, climbed to the ceiling, hooked her two feet on the chandelier, and didn't know how. He fixed his body, twisted his head, and looked at the fight below. He held the toy bear in his mouth, patted it hard with both hands, and kept whimpering in his mouth, as if he was laughing or crying. : "It's so fun..."

Dad became more and more angry, and his body seemed to be expanding continuously. His muscles burst his shirt, revealing a blue back covered with stiff black hair. , his facial features became distorted and huge, he waved his fist and punched his mother hard, one punch after another, but his mother had been beaten to pieces, but his voice was still so elegant: "That's great, this incompetent Furious..."

Lu Xin was holding rice, sitting next to the overturned dining table, and slowly eating the rice grains in the bowl.

After the Red Moon Incident, it is rare to have a warm family...

Although my family may have some minor problems at home, and sometimes they will quarrel and fight. But it’s still home...

...

...

Outside the window, facing the window of Lu Xin’s living room, was a room with a quiltIt was set up as a simple studio.

There was a short-haired woman in a casual suit observing Lu Xin's room through a telescope.

Through the lens of the telescope, you can see that in the empty room, Lu Xin is sitting on a chair eating alone. He is obviously the only one sitting there, but the room looks like It was like an earthquake, tables and chairs were overturned, chandeliers kept shaking, and white flower-shaped cracks appeared on the window glass from time to time, as if something had hit it.

"The telepathy of the Psychiatric Abnormality Observer No. 13 has appeared!"

The two young men wearing exquisite work clothes beside her were making rapid calculations and the other was recording. .

"Does he have the potential to be recruited?"

"How big is the potential threat?"

"What are his specific abilities?"

"Sounds like he has great potential, too! Very good guide!"

Behind them, a man with a somewhat majestic face said: "Have you ever tried to let the dreamer enter his dream for evaluation?"

"Yes! ”

The short-haired woman in the red suit nodded slightly and said: “But after the dreamer entered his dream, he never came out again”
