Chapter 844: A family celebration party (1)
It was already late at night after Lu Xin had his supper, so he returned home alone.
Doll wanted to come back with him, but he was taken away by a few members of the babysitter team.
Looking at the doll’s pitiful eyes as it was brought into the car, Lu Xin suddenly felt as if he had just experienced a scene from an old movie.
Damn rich people …
..
..
After sending doll off, he got into the Jeep and drove through the city that had fallen asleep.
He did not know if it was because he had finally met teacher Lu, or because of this dinner, but he was in a good mood.
Lu Xin parked his car by the road and left his car keys in it.
This car belonged to the special Investigation Department, so she had to return it to them.
After all, he had three Jeeps, so why would he need to be greedy?
Since it was the car of the special Investigation Department, they would naturally send someone to get it. And what if a thief had ideas about the car …
.. Lu Xin would sympathize with him.
Instead of rushing upstairs, Lu Xin walked around the old building and examined it carefully.
He had told Chen Jing and the others that he had brought an old building to Pyro city, which had shocked them.
But in reality, as the person in question, Lu Xin was also quite surprised when he thought about it.
This was an old building.
From the cement to the bricks, to the foundation and the steel framework, they were all real.
How did he manage to move from one city to another?
Also, if he could really move it to the central city, would the plan be feasible?
Lu Xin walked around the building in amazement.
It was really strange. This building had clearly been moved away once, but the foundation was still tightly sealed, and there was nothing unusual about it.
Normally, even if it was an ordinary stone that had been left in a place for a long time, there would be some traces left behind after it was moved and put back. However, this old building had no traces at all. There was no trace of it being moved at all.
“So powerful …”
Lu Xin looked down at his right hand and shook his head.
On his right palm, where the nail had pierced, there was a slight pain, as if something had been nailed.
She turned around and went upstairs, only to find that the feeling of entering the corridor was different.
Lu Xin wasn’t sure if it was because he had seen the strange scene in the old building and the battle against the staff-hiding man’s Army of mental monsters, but in the past, whenever he entered the old building, he would only feel that it was dead.
But this time, he felt that the building was very chaotic.
There were many things hiding in the dark corners, behind the doors.
When he walked up the steps, there were countless disturbances, people fleeing in panic, or staring at him in fear.
He could even hear the rustling of the Suan ni and the scattered, weak air currents.
“Cough cough …”
When Lu Xin reached the fourth floor, he couldn’t help but let out a cough as he felt the place was too chaotic.
The chaotic corridor suddenly became extremely quiet.
Lu Xin heaved a sigh of relief and quickened his pace. He arrived at Room 401 and pushed the door open gently.
The warm light suddenly hit his face.
The cold air in the building was dispelled, and Lu Xin’s vision blurred for a moment before he saw his family.
The younger sister was holding a torn and stitched-up teddy bear, sitting comfortably on the sofa and watching TV. She was holding a yellow screaming chicken between her two little feet, squeezing it from time to time out of boredom as she watched the joyful show on TV.
As a result, the sound of the cartoon was mixed with screams from time to time, and the atmosphere was very unique.
His father was cooking in the kitchen, and the pressure cooker was bubbling.
Her mother didn’t make the call. Instead, she set the table with light steps. She changed the tablecloth and placed the rice and vegetables on the table.
“Eh?”
Lu Xin was taken aback by the warm atmosphere. “Is this a celebration?”
“Yes, I am.”
His mother turned to look at him and smiled. “Wash your hands, we were just waiting for you.”
“But I’ve already eaten.. Lu Xin replied awkwardly.
“What?”
His mother at the dining table raised her head, his sister on the sofa turned her head, and his father in the kitchen also stuck his head out.
The whole family looked at him with some resentment.
“I think I can eat a little more …” Lu Xin said hurriedly.
The family turned around and went back to work, and the atmosphere became warm and beautiful again.
Lu Xin washed his hands and looked at the vegetables and rice on the table. He was reveling in the wonderful Life he was living. He also thought about the strange rustling in the corridor earlier. He picked up a bowl of rice, picked up some vegetables, and placed them on the bowl. Then, he turned around and walked out.
In the corridor, there were countless invisible things crowded together, making it extremely crowded.
They seemed to be fighting for it as they peeked through the crack of the door.
“Squeak!”
The door was suddenly opened, and bright light spilled into the dark corridor.
All the commotion and the crowded things were suddenly frightened and scattered, disappearing without a trace.
Lu Xin looked around at the empty corridor, placed the bowl of rice by the door, and entered the room.
The moment the door was closed, there was a sudden commotion in the corridor, and it was even more crowded and chaotic than before.
“Squeak …”
Suddenly, the door was opened again. Lu Xin was standing at the door.
The people in the corridor were all stunned. Pairs of eyes that were invisible to normal people stared at the figure standing at the door.
Lu Xin stood there for a while before he placed his chopsticks on the rice and walked back in.
The corridor was quiet for a while. After confirming that the person would not come out again, the atmosphere immediately became as lively as the new year.
..
..
Lu Xin sat down at the dining table with a satisfied smile on his face.
If this was a celebration, then the things in this building had also contributed to the fight against the staff-hiding man.
So, of course, they had to share a little, even if it was just a bowl of rice.
Lu Xin’s mother, sister, and father were all seated at the dining table. Even though he had already eaten, Lu Xin still picked up his bowl. What he ate was not important. What was important was that he was sitting with his family. Ever since he had sabotaged the staff keeper’s plan in Pyro city, he had been thinking about it. However. due to various small issues. he had been delayed in communicating with them, as well as discussing and analyzing the entire incident …
“There’s nothing to discuss.”
However, after hearing Lu Xin’s words, the mother smiled and said, “”Although this plan is a little complicated, it’s not worth taking too seriously. There might be more of such things in the future. They might never be honest, but we will always have the advantage.”
“Alright …”
Seeing his mother’s confident smile, Lu Xin lowered his head and ate a few mouthfuls of rice.
This time, he had really earned a lot.
During the Battle in Pyro city, the staff keeper’s chain of control had been taken away by professor an from the lunar eclipse Research Institute. According to her mother’s words, professor an would give the chain of control to number seven and the woman with the crown of thorns as a reward. However, she was lucky enough to get a bit of the staff keeper’s flesh and blood in the end, so …
Not bad.
The flesh and blood of the person with the hidden scepter and the palm of the pale hand, what could be more superior than this?
So, after eating a few mouthfuls of rice, Lu Xin asked softly, “”Am I already very powerful now?”
“Eh?”
When his sister and father heard this, they raised their heads and looked at him curiously.
His mother, on the other hand, smiled gracefully and gently. She looked at Lu Xin and said, “”What do you think?”
“Stronger than before …”
I see. Lu Xin nodded and said, ” so, do I have the confidence to face the old principal’s fifth trial now? ”
The light in the room flickered slightly as if an electric current was unstable.
Although the process was quick and the changes were light, it seemed to have caused a subtle change in the atmosphere of the room.
Lu Xin asked in a serious tone.
He still remembered that his mother had spent so much effort and even showed her not-so-refined side in front of others just to help him get the pale hand. And the purpose of getting the pale hand was not just to fight against the person hiding the staff. Her first sentence revealed her true purpose. She wanted to increase her trump card so that she could go against the trial that the old principal had given her.
Lu Xin didn’t want to voice out his fear.
Number eight’s arrival made him feel real nervousness, a change in the situation that he could not control.
Then, what if the person who came was the old principal?
Therefore, he felt a little anxious in his heart. He actually hoped to get a positive answer from his mother.
..
..
However, after hearing Lu Xin’s words, her mother fell silent for a moment. She brought the glass to her mouth but did not drink any water.
After a while, she shook her head at Lu Xin, “”I don’t know,”
Then, a gentle smile appeared on her face. “But we’ve done our best, so there’s nothing to be afraid of, right?”
The atmosphere in the room became gentle and comforting.
It was as if both his father and his sister were nodding their heads in agreement.
“Your greatest effort?”
Lu Xin thought to himself.
Her mother had naturally done her best for this family, and this was very touching.
His younger sister was also very hardworking, even though she was still young.
His father’s words … Maybe, maybe, maybe, it could be considered hard work?
But what about him?
..
..
Lu Xin thought to himself as he slowly ate the rice. He then put down the bowl in his hand and said softly, ”
“I met number eight.”
His mother looked at him quietly and nodded slightly, as if she had known about this long ago.
“He’s grown up now,” Lu Xin continued,”and he’s an executioner of the midnight court. He said he was coming to see us, so I treated him to a meal. He also invited me to watch him carry out his trial. The process … It’s very bloody and complicated. I have a lot of things to say to him, but I don’t have enough confidence to say them. The only thing I can be sure of is that I …”
After a pause, he gave a precise description, “”I’m very envious.”
whether it’s right or wrong, number eight is really a person who knows what he wants to do and what he should do …
compared to him, I’ve just lived my life in a daze for so many years. I don’t even know what I’ve been through …
I don’t work as hard as he does. I also feel that I’m too lost compared to him …
it’s probably because I’m not serious enough, so I can’t give a clear answer to his question …
“..”
Lu Xin’s face revealed a slightly dejected expression.
“Big brother …”
Seeing his expression, his sister suddenly let out a soft cry and reached out to grab Lu Xin’s hand.
Her little face was full of worry and heartache.
As she held onto Lu Xin’s hand, she carefully peeked at the top of his head.
He didn’t know what she saw, but she quickly retracted her gaze and subconsciously lowered her voice.
but, brother, for so many years …
you’ve been living with such a heavy load on your back all this time …
