Chapter 2

The dark red moon hung low on the city's row upon row of high-rise buildings, almost supporting half of the sky.

A dark black round the city train with rust on its body passes through the whole city under the gaze of the red moon. In this train, some passengers in various colors are reading newspapers, and some are dozing under the dim light.

"Ding, the moon station is here!"

Lu Xin wakes up from his doze and picks up the bag. With the surging crowd, he leaves the car.

With his bag on his back, he walked through the dirty and shabby steps, the platform full of newspapers, and came to the ground of the city. Looking up, the neon lights around him made the streets of the city and the people on the streets feel strange, but no matter how colorful the streets are, the red moon above the city, It still represents the background of the world.

Since the red moon event 30 years ago, the whole world has been like this.

Of course, Lu Xin doesn't know the difference. He was born after the red moon event, and the world has always been like this.

With his bag on his back, he went through the alley where it had just rained, and boarded a shabby old building. The elevator was broken again. So he had to take the stairs and slowly came to Room 401 on the fourth floor. He took out the key and opened the heavy door.

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

In the kitchen, my father is stewing meat, and the pressure cooker is bubbling with heat, giving off an attractive smell of meat.

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

Mother is elegant and decent, wearing a white cardigan, standing by the window talking to people on the phone.

"Brother nine, you are back!"

Seeing Lu Xin come in and put down her backpack, my sister looks up and says hello with a sweet smile.

"Little seventeen is good at home today. I'll buy you the bear you want!"

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

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

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

"Back?"

Mother looked up at Lu Xin and nodded her head with a smile: "sit down and have a rest. Dinner will be ready soon!"

Lu Xin nodded and sat down at the table.

……

……

There are four sets of chopsticks on the table, and a few green dishes. The rice is in the bowl, and it's a little cold.

However, the family did not want to sit down to eat.

Mother is continuing to say gently on the phone: "Sister Zhang, in fact, today's thing is really my fault, you don't get angry, of course, my gray sweater style is really a little old, but how to say it's not good-looking?" Yes, that's why I called you... Of course you didn't say it, but I know you think so... "

"No, no, don't get me wrong... I just want to ask you to apologize... You're not good at swearing. It's uncivilized..."

Dad's voice of chopping bones is getting louder and louder, and his voice of swearing is faintly heard: "scum, waste, break into other people's house, damn it, damn it... Mother's eating so much, how can't you chop it up, how can't you cook it clean!"

At this time, my sister was happily sitting cross legged on the sofa, tearing the brown bear bit by bit, using her two hands to pull, biting with her snow-white teeth, biting the brown bear's ears, eyes, arms, bit by bit, carefully watching the process of arm and bear body separation, There was an expression of excitement and satisfaction.

"I'll have dinner later!"

Mother has put down the phone, gently said: "I have a little misunderstanding with my neighbor Sister Zhang, I go to apologize to her!"

Said, conveniently took out the drawer inside the scissors, elegant went out, with the door.

……

……

Lu Xin sat quietly at the table and waited.

He felt lucky. At the beginning of the red moon incident, there was a long period of chaos in the world. During that period, many people died, and many orphans like Lu Xin appeared. A large part of them disappeared after they became adults. Lu Xin could be adopted by her parents and had a warm home, I don't know how many people admire it.

Of course, this family, these families, sometimes a little strange.

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

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

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

The family began to eat.

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

It's just the crooked body, full of rough needle angles, but my sister likes it even more than before.

Dad sat at the table and opened a bottle of Baijiu that was stained with dirty ink. He picked up a chopped green vegetable and killed one cup at a time. There is no meat on the table. Dad likes to chop bones and stew meat, but he never lets people eat it or get close to his iron pot. He was also wearing a plastic enclosure, which was splashed with blood. There were a few flies around him.

Outside there is a siren approaching, noisy voices keep coming, I do not know what to say.

"Pa!"

Dad suddenly put down his glass and looked out of the window with blood red eyes: "if it's noisy, you'll know it's noisy. You won't even have a safe meal to eat. The police station can't find out anything. The neighborhood knows how to peep at others every day!"

"Don't scare the children!"

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

Lu Xin remembers that she didn't wear lipstick.

"Son of a bitch, damn it, damn it all!"

Dad was even more angry. He held the bottle tightly with his five fingers and burst his veins. He scolded: "bitch, you should die, too!"

"Yes, in your eyes, everyone should die, only you don't!"

The mother smiles gracefully and calmly: "because you want to keep the corpse at last, don't you? You like to collect the corpse for people!"

She said, put down the chopsticks, gentle smile, looked at the father: "because those people are alive, life is better than you, are more capable than you, so you especially don't like to see them alive, you like to see them can't speak again!"

"Shut up, shut up, you know?"

Dad was really angered by his mother. He smashed the bottle and rushed up to grab his mother's neck.

"Cluck..."

My mother was very happy with her smile. Even though her face was purple, her smile was still very elegant: "waste... Waste..."

"Pa!"

Dad finally couldn't help it. He began to add fists and feet and hit the restaurant shaking.

"Wow... Dad, don't beat mom..."

My sister cried in horror and hugged the bear tightly. Suddenly, her face changed and she giggled: "it's fun, it's fun, it's fun..."

While laughing, she suddenly turned over and jumped up, like a flexible spider, climbed to the ceiling, hooked the chandelier with her feet, and somehow fixed her body. She twisted her head and looked at the fighting below, holding the teddy bear in her mouth, clapping her hands hard, sobbing and laughing, It's like crying: "it's so funny..."

Dad became more and more angry. His body seemed to keep expanding. His muscles broke his shirt, revealing his cyan back, covered with just black hair. His facial features became twisted and huge. He waved his fist and hit his mother hard, one after another. His mother had been beaten by him, but her voice was still so elegant: "how nice, This incompetent fury... "

Lu Xin took the rice and sat at the overturned table, slowly eating the rice in the bowl.

After the red moon incident, it's hard to have a warm family

Although there are some small problems in my family, sometimes quarrel and fight, it's still home

……

……

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

A woman with short hair in a casual suit was watching Lu Xin's room through a telescope.

Through the lens of the telescope, we can see that in the empty room, Lu Xin is sitting on a chair to eat. It is clear that he is the only one sitting there. But in that room, it is like an earthquake. The tables and chairs are overturned, the chandeliers are shaking, and a bunch of white flower like cracks appear on the window glass from time to time, It's like something hit it.

"The mind power of the thirteenth psychic change observer has appeared!"

She was surrounded by two young men in exquisite work clothes. One was calculating fast, the other was recording.

"Does he have the potential to be recruited?"

"How big is the potential threat?"

"What are the specific capabilities?"

The woman with short hair shook her head and said, "it's not clear yet. Unlike other mental changers, he will show strong abnormal forms in the early stage, such as entering other people's dreams or releasing the mental plague unintentionally. He seems to be very normal. He can go to and from work normally every day, and even deal with his work well, But occasionally there will be mental disorder! "

"It sounds like a great potential and a great guide!"

Behind them, a man with a dignified face said, "have you ever tried to let a dreamer into his dream to evaluate?"

"Yes!"

The woman with short hair in the red suit nodded gently and said, "but after the dreamer entered his dream, he never came out again!"
