Since The Red Moon Appeared

Chapter 873: The plaintiff of the orphanage (1)

The moment Lu Xin let out a roar of suppressed anger, the force field around his body was activated.

The surrounding air instantly began to distort.

It was like a vibrating ripple, instantly surging to the surrounding walls and then bouncing back.

During this process, the twisting force field filled the entire office and drowned all the black silk threads. In an instant, all the black silk threads broke and fell to the ground. The painful struggle disappeared bit by bit. The messy, overlapping laughter and the weird figures were also instantly washed away by his mental power. They shrieked.

Even teacher Lu suddenly stopped struggling. If one looked at her again, one would realize that everything that had happened just now was just an illusion. There were no black silk threads on her body. She was just lying quietly on the sofa. Only the bandage around her wrist was very conspicuous.

The office was shaking as if there was an earthquake.

In the security booth at the gate, the old security guard suddenly raised his head and took out the grapeshot gun he had prepared.

However, when he looked at the only dimly lit office in the teaching building, he hesitated, not knowing if he should go up.

..

..

“Number nine …”

After Lu Xin’s outburst, the office finally stopped shaking. Then, a soft voice was heard.

Lu Xin turned around coldly and looked at the door of the bathroom.

The door of the bathroom was already in tatters, and it was half-open, allowing one to see the mirror through the broken holes.

Lu Xin saw a person slowly walking out from the mirror.

He was wearing a black suit and carrying a silver suitcase.

It was as if he had crawled through a window. He crawled out of the mirror in a slightly embarrassed manner and then walked out of the bathroom.

His white shirt seemed to be stained with blood, and his hair was not as neatly combed as before.

When he arrived at the living room, he looked at Lu Xin, Xu Jing, or number 8 with a pained expression.

The moment Lu Xin saw him, he couldn’t help but take a step forward.

She wished she could immediately pull him in front of her and question him properly.

“It wasn’t me just now …”

However, before Lu Xin’s hand could reach his neck, number eight let out a deep sigh and said in a low voice, ”

“I didn’t ask her to do this.”

“I also sensed that she had the intention of committing suicide, so I rushed over from outside the city.”

“..”

Lu Xin’s hand stopped right in front of him.

In fact, he could also feel that before teacher Lu cut her wrist, there was no clear fluctuation of mental power.

Even the madness and strangeness that appeared in the bathroom just now only appeared after she committed suicide due to the intense mental changes.

“So, what’s going on?”

Lu Xin slowly lowered his hand. After a moment of silence, he kicked the chair he was sitting on to number eight.

This was an invitation for him to sit down. After all, he had to treat his guests properly.

“She’s under too much pressure …”

Number eight didn’t sit down, but said in a low voice, ” I’ve been trying my best to stall for time, trying to find a way to save her. But I didn’t expect that even though I’ve been stalling for so long, the contract itself is affecting her more and more.

I don’t know if she’s under pressure from another aspect, she actually …

he actually chose to commit suicide before the execution …

“..”

Lu Xin remained silent.

But he already had an answer in his heart.

Was it because he was here with teacher Lu, which made her feel more stressed?

This might be part of the reason. More importantly, she was on the verge of a breakdown. He looked at her silently and stubbornly, and his mental power was a little chaotic. However, even when he was face to face with her, he did not know that her heart had been tortured to the extreme.

She couldn’t even take it and was ready to end her life early.

It was also because of this mental breakdown that when she committed suicide, her mental power was scattered and radiated.

That was why he was able to sense her bizarre and twisted inner world.

The endless auditory and visual hallucinations, even if he only felt it for a moment, he felt unusually depressed and painful …

And she, was she being tortured by this feeling every day?

..

..

After a moment of silence, Lu Xin suddenly looked up at number eight and said in a low voice, “”So, what exactly is going on?”

It was the same question as before, but the content was different.

Lu Xin’s tone had also become more serious, and black particles could be seen floating in his eyes.

Number eight could feel Lu Xin’s anger. Standing in front of Lu Xin, he could clearly feel the pressure he was exerting.

But he fell silent.

“Answer me …”

Lu Xin suddenly spoke again, and the entire room trembled.

The desk, table lamps, and walls around him became blurry, as if they were twisted and elongated. Only his figure became clearer and clearer in this blurriness, but the pressure he gave people was getting heavier and heavier, almost driving them crazy.

His will was strengthened in this kind of distortion.

It was just three simple words, but it was enough to convey more thoughts.

Answer me, why did you sign such a contract with teacher Lu?

Answer me, what crime did she commit?

Answer me, who was the one who accused her?

Answer me, if you can’t solve this problem, how do you want to die?

..

..

“Because …”

Under the pressure from Lu Xin, number eight couldn’t help but take two steps back.

The invisible pressure pressed down on him inch by inch, making him feel as if his body was carrying a mountain.

His mind was on the verge of a mental breakdown. An instinctive fear and respect tormented his body and mind.

He almost couldn’t bear the torture and almost collapsed to the ground.

Under this invisible pressure, he suddenly shouted, “”Because of you!”

“Swish!”

Lu Xin’s eyes turned cold as he glared at the middle-aged man.

Number eight, on the other hand, seemed to have gone a little crazy. His eyes were bloodshot.”No one wants to judge Lu.”

“I don’t know how to either.”

“The one I want to judge is you, and it has always been you.”

I want you to pay the price for the people who died in the orphanage …

“..”

Compared to the pressure Lu Xin was unconsciously exuding, number eight’s level of strength and pressure when he was angry was slightly lower.

However, his anger was no less than Lu Xin’s.

This anger also affected Lu Xin.

Especially when he mentioned the people who had died in the orphanage, Lu Xin’s chaotic mental strength suddenly receded slightly.

His gaze was no longer so focused and powerful, and a sense of guilt flashed through his eyes.

He looked at number eight quietly for a while before he said in a low voice, “”Since it’s me, then …”

“I …”

Number eight took a few deep breaths and looked at teacher Xiaolu, who was lying on the sofa.

Even though she had fallen into a coma, her expression was still pained, filled with guilt that could not be washed away.

The White gauze wrapped around her wrist was extremely eye-catching in the dark office.

I didn’t expect her to do that either …

After a while, number eight replied in a low voice, “”I just want to get justice for the people who died in the orphanage.”

but I want to get justice. I need the power of the midnight court.

I’m a law enforcer, so I can’t make a complaint to you. So, I must find someone to make a complaint to you …

“..”

He spoke slowly, his voice already trembling unnaturally.”I found Lu and told her about it.”

I told her about the fate of the children in the orphanage and who are still alive …

more importantly, I told her which people will never come back to life.

and who else has fallen into eternal fear because of you …

“..”

“They shouldn’t be like this.”

He suddenly gritted his teeth, looking a little creepy.”They didn’t do anything wrong, so why did they end up like this?”

we are getting better and better, but why should they be forgotten? ”

so, I’m going to seek justice for them. I need someone to accuse you, and then …

He jerked his head up and glared at Lu Xin with bloodshot eyes.

“I judge you.”

“..”

Lu Xin fell silent. He didn’t even dare to look at number eight in the eye.

It was as if what he saw was not number eight, but the faces that were extremely clear in his memory and filled with fear.

..

..

“I think I’ve made myself clear enough.”

Number eight’s voice suddenly trembled as he said, “”I also think she can understand.”

He looked at teacher Lu and his face was filled with helplessness and sorrow. but I didn’t expect that even after I explained everything to her and assured her that I would definitely be able to judge a monster like you, she still made a decision that I didn’t expect. She didn’t refuse my request for her to make a complaint, but the person she accused wasn’t you …

“She accused herself.”

“..”

Lu Xin suddenly raised his head and hesitated.

she said that if justice was to be served for the children who died, she should be the one to be judged.

Number eight said as he slowly squatted down. He looked at teacher Xiaolu with an indescribable sense of fatigue. that’s why I left as soon as possible after you came back. I wanted to have a chat with you, but I have to solve this problem …

I’m going to the midnight court to explain that this is a misunderstanding …

but I didn’t expect the problem to be so troublesome. Not only did she accuse herself, but she also admitted to her crimes.

the trial contract between her and the midnight court has been reached.

and once the contract is fulfilled, it can’t be terminated.

what’s more, the midnight court has investigated and confirmed a fact …

It was as if he was using his last bit of strength before he slowly said the last sentence, “”She is indeed guilty.”

..

..

“What?”

Lu Xin had already understood number eight’s explanation.

He even had a complicated feeling because of this truth, and he fell into a deep confusion.

However, when number eight said his last words, he was still unexpectedly hit and looked surprised.

At this moment, he even felt that the midnight court was very absurd …

If the misunderstanding at the beginning could be barely understood, then the latter part was even nonsense …

How could teacher Lu be guilty?

Teacher Lu, she …

..

..

“I am indeed guilty.”

Suddenly, a weak voice was heard.

Lu Xin and number eight turned around at the same time and saw that Lu had opened her eyes.

She had just lost a lot of blood, and her face was unusually pale. She was on the verge of losing control of her mind, causing her eyes to be a little dazed. She sat up from the sofa with some difficulty and slowly pulled her legs under the sofa. Her movements were a little dazed.

“It’s true.”

She lifted her head weakly to look at number eight before turning to Lu Xin.

a knife killed someone. The one who is guilty is not the knife, but the person who used the knife.

when a monster eats a person, the one who is guilty is not the monster, but … The one who released the monster!”

“So, I’m the one who’s guilty …”

“From the very beginning, I was the one who caused all these things to happen.”

“..”

Her expression was dazed as she looked at Lu Xin in a daze. The corners of her mouth twitched slightly as she revealed a strange smile.

number nine, I knew you were a monster from the beginning …
