Chapter 908: Lu Xin’s mental core (part two)(1)
Perhaps Lu Xin’s attitude was too firm when he said these words.
The atmosphere in the small restaurant became stifling.
Lu Xin didn’t try to threaten or suppress number eight with his mental power, but number eight’s hands and feet began to tremble.
It was obvious that number eight was trying his best to stabilize himself, but his eyes were already starting to drift.
The determination and pride that he had before had turned into an empty sense of powerlessness at this moment …
“Ask you?”
Number eight was enduring indescribable torture under this pressure.
Just as he was about to collapse from the pressure, he suddenly felt an emotion that was buried deep in his heart. He slammed the table and stood up straight. His eyes were bloodshot as he glared at Lu Xin, ”
“Number nine, are you here to show your kindness because you’re in control?”
did you think that I wouldn’t dare to look for you because you just revealed a power that even the world would be afraid of? ”
“I …”
As he spoke loudly, he couldn’t control the trembling of his body. His voice became fluctuating, but he still tried his best to say, ” I’m indeed in a mess right now. I don’t know how to distinguish right from wrong, but … But there are some things that don’t need to be explained clearly. I know what is right and what is wrong. Number nine, your power scares me. I’m really, I’m really scared …
but should I really give up because I’m afraid of you? ”
“..”
He spoke very loudly and fiercely, his attitude abnormally fierce, but his eyes were filled with despair and powerlessness.
The atmosphere in the small restaurant instantly became unusually oppressive.
The old security guard beside them also became a little nervous and worried. He looked at the two of them but didn’t know what to say.
“Oh, oh, oh …”
At this moment, the boss of the kitchen stuck his head out and said, ” eat your food properly. Don’t fight …
“We’re brothers, what can’t we talk about?”
“If you break something. you have to compensate …”
“..”
“..”
After the boss’s interruption, the atmosphere seemed to have eased a little. Number eight’s arm, which was holding the table, was also trembling slightly.
It was as if all the energy in his body had been sucked out, and he suddenly turned from angry to depressed.
“Number nine …”
Number eight’s voice was already trembling slightly, ” I’ve left the orphanage for many years, and I still remember your expressionless face. I had nightmares again and again, dreaming of you and our children who died in the orphanage. In fact, I know that the source was not you, but you were too scary at that time …
that’s why I’ve always wanted to ask, I’ve always wanted to come back to ask you, you …
“.. Do you regret it?”
“..”
“..”
While number eight was throwing a tantrum, Lu Xin had been sitting there quietly, not saying a word.
He could see number eight’s fear and confusion, so number eight’s anger didn’t anger him. Instead, it made him feel sad. When number eight asked the last question, he looked at him in despair and sighed.
“No, I didn’t,”
“Because I didn’t have that kind of feeling back then,” he answered slowly with his head lowered.
“But …”
After a long while, he slowly raised his head and looked at number eight. He said softly, ” but when I have emotions …
“.. Number eight, I’m regretting it all the time!”
“..”
“..”
He was regretting it all the time.
Lu Xin didn’t feel anything when he said this. In fact, he was extremely calm.
He seemed to be calmly describing a fact.
Number eight had ten thousand reasons to believe that Lu Xin was just patronizing him, but he was struck by Lu Xin’s words.
He was probably the only person in the entire Green Harbor who knew the secrets of the midnight court.
He was the only one who understood how terrifying Lu Xin was. He had protected the entire Green Harbor on his own, killed the ultimate sword wielder in the wilderness, and returned to the city in one piece.
There was no need for people at this level to lie.
He had more ways to solve the problems that required him to lie.
To him, lying to someone was a sign of respect.
..
“Number eight, I want to ask you to help me with something.”
As for Lu Xin, he suddenly felt a sense of relief that he had never felt before.
Looking at number eight, who had fallen into deep confusion and pain, he sighed softly and spoke slowly.
“Beg me?”
Number eight slowly raised his head, his eyes filled with disbelief.
“Yes, I am.”
I’d like to ask you to help me find the children in the orphanage, ” Lu Xin said slowly. I know that some people have come back to life, but I also know that some people will live forever … I have met teacher Lu, little nineteen, number seven, number two, and you, and little seventeen who has been with me all this time. But I still remember the others, all the time …”
you were once by the old principal’s side, so you should know more about them …
“I hope you can find them …”
“..”
“This …”
Number eight did not expect Lu Xin to make such a request.
His expression had a complicated change. He wanted to question it, but he didn’t know where to start.
He fell into chaos. After a long time, he said, “”Why?”
“Because …”
Lu Xin said, but he slowed down as if he was also thinking about what to say.
Repentance, redemption, atonement … Perhaps there was everything …
But in the end, he only said softly, “”Because I promised to save them …”
..
..
Number eight’s expression suddenly stiffened.
He looked at Lu Xin in disbelief. His eyes were filled with confusion and complicated emotions.
After a long time, he said in a low voice, ” number nine, you’ve really changed a lot …
“You …”
“..”
As if he knew what zhang xuan was going to ask, Lu Xin turned to him and smiled. “I found what I wanted to do …”
“Of course, you can also understand it as a spiritual core.”
“..”
Number eight’s expression changed, and he subconsciously said, “”What?”
Even the old security guard at the side raised his head suddenly, as if he was very concerned about this issue.
Lu Xin was a little embarrassed at first, but facing his old classmate, who he felt guilty about, he gathered his courage and said slowly, ” the first half is that I want to help this world establish the necessary rules and order …
Hearing this, number eight couldn’t help but be stunned, “”What about the second half?”
Lu Xin was even more embarrassed. After a while, he said, “”In this world, I have to be a decent rich man.”
“..”
Number eight was really stunned.
Even the old security guard at the side suddenly coughed heavily, as if he had choked on wine.
“You …”
Number eight’s sadness and dejection were all washed away by these words. After a while, he said in disbelief, ”
you’ve already reached the level of fantasy. You actually …
“..”
Lu Xin had the right to say this, so he replied seriously, “”You can fantasize about other things, but can you fantasize about money?”
Number eight choked for a moment.
my wish is to help this world establish rules and order, and then become a rich man in this world.
Since he had already said it, Lu Xin was more at ease.
number eight, I was envious of you when I first saw you after returning from Pyro city.
“Because I can feel that you are very firm and very pure.”
although, from this incident, it seems that your purity can be easily taken advantage of, I still envy you.
because you know what you want to do, and you really dare to do it …
“I don’t think I can be as pure as you.”
He shook his head slightly and sighed. at first, I also thought about whether I could become a pure person. But when I questioned myself, I found that I was really just an ordinary person. I want to live a stable life, and I like the feeling of making money …
“Money is really a good thing …”
there’s no need to Rob, deceive, or even threaten. You can openly take what you want from others.
“Money can make others respect you, and it can also be brought to you … A sense of security!”
“Although it’s often said that money can’t solve all the problems in the world …”
but isn’t money the best thing in the world if it can solve the most problems? ”
so, I’ve thought it through. There’s no need to be so pure. Let’s just make life a little better like this …
“..”
Lu Xin was deeply touched. After expressing his thoughts, he turned to number eight again and said softly, “”After recognizing yourself, you will become determined and know the direction. So, I have my own judgment on the orphanage. It’s just like how you may be pursuing absolute fairness and justice for your previous companions, but I only want to fulfill my original promise …”
“So, number eight, I’m asking you to help me.”
“..”
Hearing these words, number eight’s expression became confused.
“Maybe …”
He wanted to speak, but he stopped and slowly revealed a bitter smile. number nine, it’s really hard to imagine that you would say such things …
“Where did you learn all this from …”
“..”
Lu Xin couldn’t help but smile as he listened, “”Read more books, you can do it too.”
“I’ve been studying ever since I left the orphanage.”
number eight, when we first met, you said that my previous grades were not good, but I actually have a college degree now …
“..”
Although number eight had not agreed directly, it was obvious that he had already changed his mind.
It was only at this moment that Lu Xin finally felt more at ease.
Compared to the sword holder, he was more concerned about number eight’s attitude.
Finally, he and number eight had reached a consensus.
At this moment, he could finally face number eight like how he would face his old classmates.
..
..
While Lu Xin and No. 8 were conversing, the old security guard had been drinking in silence.
He used a toothpick and carefully picked up the egg white to go with the wine. He took small bites and ate very carefully.
Only people who had lived a long and bitter life would get used to drinking like this.
As for the conversation between Lu Xin and number eight, he didn’t take it to heart at all. Other than occasionally glancing at them, he spent most of his time drinking in silence. It was only when the surroundings had become quiet that he noticed Lu Xin’s gaze on him.
He slowly put down his wine glass and took a cloth to wipe his hands. Then, he met Lu Xin’s gaze.
“It’s my turn, right?”
“..”
Lu Xin looked at the old security guard quietly, and a familiar image gradually appeared in his mind.
“Yes, teacher sun.”
yes. he nodded gently and said, ” one of the old principal’s two most trusted assistants, sun Zhong. Teacher sun.
