In the dark of night, there were already shadowy pedestrians on the streets of Qinggang No. 2 Satellite City.
When the crisis was over, these people who were hiding in the underground shelter also walked out cautiously, holding their children, supporting their other half, and walking home under the dim street lights. Some people, out of careful consideration, will stay until the next morning and then go home, but some people are impatient or have something to do at home, so they go home before dawn.
In many cases, life is greater than disaster.
What to do the next day is far more important than what just happened.
"Let's eat here then?"
Lu Xin, No. 8, and the old security guard passed through these silently returning crowds.
There can be no one in the orphanage, so the simple teacher Xiaolu did not come out. This is a party belonging to the three men.
In the night wind, they wrapped their coats tightly, and no one spoke.
It's late at night and just after the crisis, it's not easy to find a place to eat.
However, it just so happened that when they came here, they saw the owner of the restaurant who had just returned from the shelter and opened the door of the restaurant. They were invited into the store. .
"Want to eat, right?"
"Come come come..."
"What's too late?"
The boss is very atmospheric: "The guests come to eat, that is, they are hungry. Since they are hungry, can they still not cook?"
Really warm and friendly boss...
Lu Xin sighed with emotion.
He realized that this was because his fantasies about the city had not disappeared, so he created this special enthusiasm.
He originally thought about whether to quietly eliminate the "fantasy" power of the boss first, so as not to let people suffer in this abnormal state of enthusiasm, and then he saw the boss moved a small horse, Sit at the counter and pick small fried meats.
One by one, throw them in the trash.
"This is… "
Lu Xin suddenly asked curiously.
"Oh, guest, you don't know..."
The boss said with a face of remorse: "In the past, I used to mix the sour meat with the fresh meat and fry it. When I served it, I added more salt and more cumin. Anyway, most people can't eat it. You can't get a life out of it, can you?"
"But just now, I suddenly figured out that in life, we should compare our hearts to our hearts, and business can't do this..."
"So I'll pick out the bad ones first and make them for you..."
"… "
Lu Xin couldn't help being stunned, and secretly gave up the idea of withdrawing the power of "fantasy".
At least wait until the meal is over before withdrawing...
…
…
"It's okay, you guys just look at the menu and order whatever you like..."
Seeing that the boss entered the back kitchen, Lu Xin enthusiastically pushed the menu to No. 8 and the old security guard.
Now he is really generous.
After all, every time you perform a cleaning task, it means that you will have a lot of money in your account.
Especially this time, I solved a world-class pollution...
How much does this cost
In the past, he had already asked Qinggang how much he would give for this task.
But this time, he kept his mind and didn't ask for the time being.
Because he understands that it is estimated that Qinggang has no concept of such a big pollution. They don't know how much they should give themselves. They are in a hurry to ask, and they may just report the number to fool themselves, so it is better to give each other some time. Think about it.
“A la carte…”
Looking at Lu Xin's relaxed and enthusiastic expression, No. 8 and the old security guard were a little uneasy.
They couldn't understand, and they didn't know why Lu Xin suddenly wanted to take them to supper.
Before the atmosphere became cold, the old security guard was more calm, he coughed lightly, and took the menu.
"Old vinegar peanuts, cut a plate of salted duck eggs, and... get a bottle of white wine, it's better."
"… "
After he finished speaking, he pushed the menu to No. 8's side and looked at Lu Xin calmly, his expression seemed to be resigned to death.
"Baijiu, even better..."
Lu Xin twitched the corners of his mouth, but didn't say anything, and asked No. 8, "What do you want?"
No. 8 just glanced at the menu lazily, feeling very disappointed, shook his head and said, "There is nothing I want to eat."
Lu Xin frowned suddenly: "then what do you want to eat?"
The food in this restaurant is already very expensive, and the bosses have picked out the bad meat, right
No. 8 was still a little lackluster, and said lazily: "The stinky tofu noodle was good last time, and it would be better with more granulation."
"?"
Lu Xin didn't react for a while.
When I invited Number 8 to dinner for the first time, he really devoured it with a look of enjoyment on his face.
At the time, I thought he was starving crazy, or deliberately behaved naturally in front of me.
I didn't expect that he was actually really good at this
Slightly startled, then nodded and said, "It's fine, I still have a few bags of stinky tofu, a specialty of Black Marsh City."
"I originally wanted to share it with my friends, but I really can't finish it, so I'll just bring it all to you later."
"There is no granulation, you have to buy some meat to raise it yourself."
"… "
No. 8 nodded indiscriminately, looking uninterested.
Lu Xin added two more dishes, meat.
Then next to a small table full of greasy, three men silently waited for the boss to serve the dishes.
The old guard's liquor and salted duck eggs were served first. They were indeed good wines, but they were actually labeled.
He glanced at No. 8 and Lu Xin, and without asking, took a glass for him and No. 8, and poured a glass each.
The three of them silently held up, and did not mean to clink glasses.
Just sipping the spicy drink while thinking about the things in their hearts.
As the inviter, Lu Xin had the heaviest concern at this time.
The family members are tired and have already gone back, so at this time, he is facing these two people with his original attitude.
There is no one to discuss with, so he speaks extremely cautiously, first sorting out slowly in his heart.
After being silent for a while, No. 8 spoke first: "Is it really resolved?"
"Yes."
Lu Xin put down the cup, glanced at No. 8 slowly, and said, "The sword bearer is dead."
It can be clearly seen that No. 8's palm trembled.
The old security guard next to him also had a slightly unbelievable expression on his face, and he immediately buried his head.
Lu Xin continued to look at No. 8 and said: "In addition, there is a problem with the swordsman, and there is also a problem with the Midnight Court that you followed before. The swordsman was close to being out of control at the end, and in the Midnight Court. ... all dead!"
In such a small shop full of fumes, the atmosphere suddenly became cold and hard.
Lu Xin tried to make his words easy to understand: "You can understand that the real swordsman has no core."
"His spirit has been killed, so all that's left is a walking dead."
"Number 8, you guys before, just obeyed this walking corpse and acted mechanically."
"I think your trial has become more and more extreme in a short period of time, which is also related to the state of the sword holder."
"… "
No. 8 was already holding the wine glass tightly at this time, his face became even paler, and the cold sweat kept streaming down.
Lu Xin was worried that he would not believe it, and said softly, "His spiritual palace is just outside in the wilderness, you can go and see it."
"Of course, remember to apply to the Qinggang Special Clearance Department first. This is the rule."
"… "
"Do not… "
No. 8 suddenly shook his head, with a tangled expression on his face: "Actually, I should have thought of it a long time ago..."
"In the beginning, when I got Xiaolu's confession, I didn't take it too seriously. Because I felt that I could persuade the midnight court to change the trial. But until, until I prayed countless times, I couldn't get it. It was only when I responded that I found out…”

"… "
Having said that, he did not say any more.
But it is obvious that he has connected his previous experience with the current results, and has figured out something.
Perhaps, he had already discovered that something was wrong, but there was no way to verify it.
"No. 8, if you want, you can investigate together with the Qinggang Special Clearance Department. The matter in the midnight court is very strange. I also want to know what happened. With your cooperation, I think it may be found faster. Secrets of the Midnight Court…”
Seeing that No. 8 had accepted this fact, Lu Xin patiently persuaded No. 8 with gentle language.
The world-class pollution of Midnight Court has been resolved.
But this time, he didn't have the relaxation he had after solving the pollution before.
On the contrary, after the pollution was solved, more strange things were discovered, which caused the worries in my heart to never go away.
This is also the reason why he came back and found No. 8 immediately.
He can't really feel at ease without unraveling the secrets behind the midnight court.
Moreover, this worry is not because of myself, but because of the worry that this unease will affect my family.
"Cooperate with them and find the secret of the Midnight Court?"
On No. 8's face, however, expressions of surprise, indifference, and worry flashed across successively. After listening to Lu Xin's words, he silently drank a glass of wine, suddenly looked up, and his eyes trembled slightly: "Bring me here. , just for me to tell me this?"
"… "
When he said these words, his eyes were straight, and the hair on his forehead fell wetly in front of his eyes.
"no… "
Facing No. 8's eyes, Lu Xin was slightly startled, and understood what No. 8 was thinking.
Shaking his head gently, he looked at No. 8 and said, "I called you here because I have to make it clear to you."
Speaking slowly, his tone became very firm, as if it was a warning:
"Don't go to Teacher Xiaolu or others in the future, and don't try to bring other polluting forces to Qinggang."
"… "
"… "
No. 8 saw the power in Lu Xin's eyes, his pupils contracted slightly, and he listened indifferently.
"Number eight, or Xu Jing."
Lu Xin looked at him calmly and said, "You can't let go of the orphanage, it doesn't seem wrong to me."
"But there's one thing you do get wrong..."
After a slight pause, his tone increased, and he said solemnly: "From the beginning, you should ask me directly!"
