Since The Red Moon Appeared

Chapter 1: Come back home

   The dark red moon hangs low above the row upon row of tall buildings in the city, almost covering half of the sky.

A dark black, rust-stained train around the city swiftly traversed the entire city under the gaze of the red moon, and in this train, some passengers in various clothes were reading newspapers. , And some dozed off in the dim light.

   "Ding, the moon station is here!"

   Lu Xin woke up from his doze, lifted the bag, and flowed out of the carriage along with the surging crowd.

Carrying a bag, he walked across the dirty and dilapidated steps, the platform full of newspapers, and walked to the ground of the city. He looked up. The glow of neon lights around made the streets of the city and the people on the streets. , There is a kind of weird feeling of colorfulness, but no matter how rich the colors are on the streets, the red moon over the city still represents the background color of the world.

   Since the Red Moon event appeared 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 the bag through the alley that had just rained, and boarded a dilapidated old building. The elevator broke down again, so he could only take the stairs and slowly came to Room 401 on the fourth floor. With the key out, he opened the thick and heavy door of the house.

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

   In the kitchen, Dad is stewing meat, steaming in the pressure cooker, exuding a tempting smell of meat.

   Sister is lying on the sofa, holding snacks, watching a very old cartoon, SpongeBob.

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

   "Brother Nine, you are back!"

   Seeing Lu Xin come in and put down the blanket, the younger sister raised her head and said hello with a sweet smile.

   "Xiao Shiqi is not good at home today, I bought you the little bear you want!"

   Lu Xin touched her head and handed her a little brown bear.

   "Ah, thank you brother, I really like it!"

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

"you're back?"

   Mom raised her head and glanced at Lu Xin, then smiled and nodded: "Sit down and rest for a while, dinner will be soon!"

   Lu Xin nodded and sat at the dining table.

  ……

  ……

   There are already four sets of bowls and chopsticks on the table, as well as a few green side dishes. The rice is in the bowl and it is already a bit cold.

   However, the family didn’t mean to sit down and eat.

My mother was continuing to say softly on the phone: "Sister Zhang, in fact, what happened today is really wrong with me. Don't be angry. Of course, my gray woolen sweater style is really old, but how do you say it? Doesn't it look good?... Yes, I called you because of this... Of course you didn't say it, but I know you think so in your heart..."

   "No, no, don't get me wrong... I just want to ask you to apologize... You are not swearing, too uncivilized..."

Dad’s sound of chopping bones became louder and louder, and he faintly heard his cursing voice: "Scum, trash, just break into other people’s homes, damn, damn... Mom eats so much, no matter how much you can chop, It doesn’t cook clean no matter how you cook it!"

My sister was sitting cross-legged on the sofa happily at this time, tearing the brown bear bit by bit, pulling with two, biting with her white, fine teeth, and biting off the brown bear’s ears. , Biting his eyes, tearing off both arms bit by bit, carefully watching the process of separating his arms from the bear's body, showing an excited and contented expression.

   "I have to wait for a while to eat again!"

   Mom has put down the phone and said softly: "I have a misunderstanding with my neighbor Zhang, I will apologize to her!"

   said, took out the scissors in the drawer, walked out gracefully, and closed the door.

  ……

  ……

   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 had been in chaos for a long time. During that time, many people died, and many orphans like Lu Xin appeared. A large part of it disappeared after he became an adult, and Lu Xin was able to be adopted by his parents and had a warm home, which many people admire.

  Of course, this family, these families, sometimes feel a little weird.

   But this family, in this dilapidated and dirty little satellite city, is still very successful.

   Mom came back soon, with a relieved smile on her face, and said: "Sister Zhang has made up with me!"

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

   The family started eating.

   My sister still hugged her little bear. After she tore the little bear apart, she sewed it back again.

   is just a skewed body patchwork, full of rough needle corners, but my younger sister likes it even more than before.

   Dad sat at the dining table, opened a bottle of unreadable white wine whose label had been defaced, clamped a chopsticks and greens, and killed a glass in one go. There is no meat on the table. Dad likes to chop bones and stew meat, but he never allows people to eat, nor does he let people get close to his iron pot. He was also wearing a plastic enclosure, stained with blood, and there were a few flies turning around him.

   There was the sound of police sirens approaching outside, and noisy human voices kept coming, I don't know what they were talking about.

"Snapped!"

Dad suddenly put down his wine glass and looked out the window with his blood-red eyes: "Noisy, noisy, as the **** knows noisy, and even a stable meal is not eaten. Nothing can be found out from the Metropolitan Police Department. Everyday I know to peek at others!"

   "Don't scare the children!"

   Mom picked up a green vegetable and ate it carefully. Her bright red lips were very dazzling under the dim light.

   Lu Xin remembered that she didn't wear lipstick.

   "Fuck the kid, **** it, **** it!"

   Dad was even more angry, his five fingers gripping the bottle tightly, the veins violent, and he cursed: "Bitch, you **** it too!"

   "Yes, in your eyes, everyone deserves to die, only you should not die!"

   Mother smiled gracefully and calmly: "Because you want to keep the corpse in the end? You like to collect the corpse!"

She said, put down the dishes, smiled softly, and looked at her dad: "Because those people are better than you when they are alive, and they are more capable than you, so you especially don't like seeing them alive, you I like to watch them look like they can't talk anymore!"

   "Shut up, shut up, do you know?"

   Dad was really irritated by his mother. He smashed the bottle so violently, he rushed up and strangled his mother's neck.

   "Hey..."

   Mother smiled very happily, even though her pinched face was purple, her smile was still very elegant: "Waste... waste..."

"Snapped!"

   Dad finally couldn't help it, and started to fist together, hitting the restaurant and shaking.

   "Wow... Dad, don't hit mother..."

   My sister was so scared to cry, she hugged the bear tightly, her face changed suddenly, and she giggled wildly: "Fun, fun, so fun..."

While laughing, she suddenly turned over and jumped up, like a flexible spider, climbed to the ceiling, hooked the chandelier with two feet, and somehow fixed her body, twisted and turned her head, watching the fight below He was holding the toy bear in his mouth, patted hard with both hands, still whimpering in his mouth, as if laughing, as if crying: "It's so fun..."

Dad became more and more angry, his body seemed to keep expanding, his muscles broke through his shirt, revealing a cyan back, which was covered with just black hair, his facial features became distorted and big, he waved his fists and pressed hard toward him. Mother hit it down, punch after punch, and mother was already ripped apart by him, but her voice was still that elegant: "It's so good, this incompetent furious look..."

   Lu Xin carried the rice and sat beside the overturned dining table, slowly eating the rice grains in the bowl.

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

   Although my own home, UU reading www. uukanshu.com family members also have some minor problems, sometimes they quarrel and fight, but they are still at home...

  ……

  ……

   Outside the window, a room facing the window of Lu Xin's living room was arranged as a simple studio.

   There is a short-haired woman in a casual suit who is 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 alone on a chair to eat. It is obvious that he is the only one sitting there, but that room seems to have an earthquake, tables and chairs. When it was overturned, the chandelier kept shaking, and a group of white flower-like cracks appeared on the window glass from time to time, as if something had hit it.

   "The mind power of the Observer of Mental Transformation No. 13 has appeared!"

   Two young men in exquisite work clothes next to her are calculating quickly and the other is recording.

   "Does he have the potential to be recruited?"

   "How big is the potential threat?"

   "What is the specific ability?"

The short-haired woman shook her head and said, “It’s not clear yet. Unlike other mental mutations, he will show strong mutations in the early stage, such as being able to enter other people’s dreams or unintentionally releasing a spiritual plague. Wait, he looks normal, he can go to and from get off work normally every day, and he can even handle work well, but occasionally he may be mentally disturbed!"

   "Sounds like a lot of potential, and very good guidance!"

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

"Have!"

   The short-haired woman in a red suit nodded lightly and said, "But after the dream maker entered his dream, he never came out!"
