Since The Red Moon Appeared - Chapter 794

[Chapter 777 Ultimate – Fire Thief]

After looking at his family, Lu Xin walked forward and approached the church step by step.

The church in this bleak town is unusually quiet compared to the town residents full of madness and violence. This seems to be the only place where no living things exist. However, when approaching this place, I could faintly feel that my body was filled with countless invisible ghosts and shadows, which were exaggeratedly revolving around me in a place that was very close to reality.

Lu Xin could even feel their faces roaring against the tip of his nose, and the feeling of their fingernails scraping the back of his neck.

But Lu Xin turned a blind eye to them, just walked slowly to the church, stopped for a while, and then raised his hand…

…knock on the door.

Tuk Tuk Tuk…

He knocked lightly on the dilapidated wooden door of the church, and asked politely:

“Excuse me, is there anyone in there?”

“…”

“…”

The moment the knock on the door rang, all the illusory shadows suddenly disappeared without a trace, as if frightened.

But Lu Xin just stood calmly in front of the church door.

He knocked softly and asked politely.

After all, my mother said that you should pay respects first and then soldiers.

When he knocked on the door, he could clearly see that his father was so nervous that his shadow was trembling slightly. Usually, even if he was facing an entire city, he could have an absolute sense of high status, and he would be able to make the whole thing in an instant. The confidence of a city swallowed up, but now, facing this small, dilapidated church, which seems to collapse with a slight push, instead, I feel a little guilty.

Inside the church, no one responded.

So Lu Xin raised his hand slightly and pushed open the church door after being silent for a while.

“Squeak…”

The rough door shaft made a sharp noise, and the cold wind rushed in with Lu Xin’s movement of pushing the door.

Lu Xin took a deep breath and walked into the church.

He saw the simple layout inside this small church.

The church is not big, with only a dozen rows of empty chairs, which are slightly compactly arranged in the hall.

Going further, there is a statue of a god whose upper body is submerged in darkness, with its head lowered to the left, like a desperate person.

There seems to be no electricity in the church, only three or four rows of stubby white candles are lit under the statue of the god.

As the wind from outside came in, the flames of the candles flickered, and the surrounding light was also messed up.

Lu Xin’s eyes swept over lightly, and he saw the only person in the church.

It was an old man wearing a missionary costume, with gray hair, sitting quietly on the bench in the third row, bowing his head in prayer.

Also after seeing him, Lu Xin took a look at the statue in front of him.

I just got used to the light in the church, and I can clearly see the image of the god above…

… no facial features.

It was a god without a face.

This old man dressed like a missionary prayed to the faceless god alone in an empty church.

…

…

“It’s really you…”

Before Lu Xin could think about how to speak to this lonely missionary, an angry voice suddenly appeared behind him.

is the father.

He also walked in with Lu Xin for the first time, and immediately saw the back of the old man.

For a moment, there was a fierce hatred in his eyes.

The black shadow around him was swept up like a robe lifted by the strong wind.

Lu Xin could even feel the real hatred in him, pouring out frantically towards the old man.

“I haven’t seen you for thirty years, so you’re still alive…”

“When you betrayed me, attacked me, seized my authority, and destroyed my honorable name, did you ever think that I would come over?”

“…”

Once his father’s roar sounded, he couldn’t stop it, and he was as angry as… like scolding the street.

“You were attacked by him?”

Lu Xin automatically blocked his father’s swearing, but from his voice, he caught some interesting secrets.

This also made him slightly curious, and he was suddenly very interested in his father’s past.

“Of course it’s him…”

When his father heard Lu Xin’s words, he immediately turned to him, but because he was too angry, he didn’t even have time to change his tone. Even when speaking to Lu Xin, he could feel obvious anger and resentment: “It’s this despicable guy, attacked me…”

“Otherwise, how could those humans have the ability to hurt me, how could they imprison me…”

“…”

“I……”

His father’s roar shook the whole church, and it seemed that it was about to fall apart: “I am the king of the night…”

“It was his sneak attack that made him a prisoner of the night!”

“…”

“king……”

Lu Xin was slightly surprised. He didn’t know before that the ultimate code name contained these subtle changes.

In the name of the night, as a king, as a former father, what kind of existence should he be like?

It’s just, why was such an existence attacked, deprived of his honorable name, and turned into a prisoner?

From another angle, what kind of existence would this missionary who can sneak attack on his father be like?

…

…

“I didn’t expect you to be hiding here…”

Just when Lu Xin felt curious, her mother sighed softly and walked into the church.

Looking at the old man who was facing the faceless statue, his face actually seemed a little sour. After a while, he said softly:

“When we first arrived, you should be the first to recognize your identity and the first to know what to do. We all thought that you would be the ultimate who has the greatest impact on reality, and may even ascend to a new throne. …”

“But I didn’t expect that you would hide in this place and become like this…”

“…”

Lu Xin was slightly curious and looked at his mother.

From my mother’s words, I seem to have heard a lot of things about the past.

“Ugh……”

The old man, who had never responded to his father’s frantic cursing just now, let out a long low sigh when he heard his mother’s words, and then he slowly turned around: “Hiding here, maybe it’s the only one for me. Something that doesn’t feel wrong.”

“Ok?”

Seeing the old man’s face, Lu Xin couldn’t help but be slightly surprised.

The old man’s face was constantly changing.

Sometimes it is a crying baby, sometimes a numb woman, sometimes a sad girl, sometimes a guilty teenager, sometimes with a cold irritability, sometimes with a violent hatred, these countless different faces overlapped on him. face.

It seems to be changing all the time, and it seems to be just like that all the time. In fact, there has been no change.

Seeing this old man, Lu Xin didn’t feel that he really saw his true appearance.

There is only one feeling that he is very weak and very old.

Even when his face looks like a baby with no teeth, it gives the impression of being extremely old.

“you……”

Seeing the old man’s appearance, his father was slightly startled, and then he woke up a little.

Mom’s face was obviously a little surprised, she took a deep look at him, and then sighed softly:

“It’s no wonder that before we come, she still has three chapters of the law, let us not hurt you…”

“I didn’t expect you to be so weak now…”

“…”

After a slight pause, she frowned, as if a little curious: “The dignified fire thief, the pursuit of the ultimate truth…”

“As the first to come and the first to recognize your own existence, why are you so weak?”

“…”

“Fire Thief?”

Lu Xin’s pupils shrank slightly, this old missionary is actually one of the Thirteen Ultimate Fire Thieves?

But, looking at him, it’s hard to connect him with the ultimate.

Because, before he turned around, he gave Lu Xin the feeling that he was even a living person, not a spiritual creature.

“Probably, it’s because I’m stuck with a problem…”

The old missionary, or in other words, the fire thief, did not hide it, and answered in a low voice.

“And you?”

Then he looked up at his mother and said softly, “Peeping your life, have you found the right destiny?”

“Peep your life?”

Lu Xin’s heart moved slightly, but he couldn’t help but look at his mother again.

At this time, my mother didn’t have any reaction to her identity being revealed, but her face looked a little sad.

This kind of sadness is similar to the sadness when she mentioned the sword bearer before.

But it was a little more than that sadness.

After a long time, she gently shook her head and said:

“I just made sure that there is no right fate, every intersection is reasonable…”

“but……”

After a slight pause, she turned to look at Lu Xin, her eyes softened: “I did find it.”

…

…

When his mother looked at Lu Xin, the old fire thief also looked at Lu Xin.

A gentle smile appeared in his eyes, and he said softly, “Hello.”

Lu Xin was slightly startled, then nodded to the old man and answered politely, “Hello.”

The old man’s smile became gentler, and suddenly said: “If in this world, let you choose the most important thing.”

“So, what would you choose?”

“…”

“?”

Lu Xin suddenly faced this question, somewhat caught off guard.

He turned his head and glanced at his mother, wanting to tentatively ask if there is a standard answer to this question.

But my mother didn’t give her any pointers, and she seemed to be at ease and allowed herself to answer his inquiries.

So Lu Xin had to think about it seriously, looked up at the old man, and replied softly:

“Life.”

“…”

The old man’s question seemed to not allow himself to answer too many words.

Therefore, Lu Xin could only give such a short answer.

Actually, he wanted to say a lot.

For example, living a decent and rich life in an orderly and civilized world.

For example, in an orderly and civilized world where everyone is happy, free, safe and interesting, to live a relaxed and decent life, and to spend money in the right way to buy back what you want, Or a life of earning money back.

There needs to be order, there needs to be civilization, and everyone needs to be happy and free.

Even if this kind of life is not perfect, at least give people a direction:

I work hard to become rich, and I won’t starve to death on the street if I don’t work hard.

… This is the life in the pre-civilization era that the old dean told them countless times.

…

…

Lu Xin’s answer was very simple, feeling that these two words could not accurately convey his meaning.

However, the old man seemed to understand and nodded with a smile.

Then he said to his mother, “I didn’t expect you, who spied on your fate, to find such an unpretentious person.”

Mom said lightly: “Ambition is too big, it’s easy to get into trouble, and it’s easy to hurt innocent people.”

The old man thought about it for a while and smiled, “Yes.”

As he spoke, he stood up slightly.

It was only then that his eyes swept across his father and Lu Xin’s younger sister, who was carrying a small gray backpack.

There seemed to be a smile in his eyes, and then he came to the statue and opened a secret cell under the statue.

I saw that there was a faint darkness inside, there seemed to be a black box, and a thick darkness emanated from the box.

“That’smine……”

When my father saw the box, a suppressed growl came out of his excited throat.

“So, come on…”

The old man stood quietly in front of the box, with his hands hanging down naturally, clasped in front of him, and smiled at the Lu Xin family.

Inside the church, at this moment, a boundless, mad roar suddenly sounded. It seemed to be on a level that was very close to reality. Suddenly, there was a violent and sinister monster. With all its strength, it sent out a chaotic and violent sound. Muddy howl.

In this boundless madness, the old man’s voice seemed quiet and calm:

“Let me see if you have the ability to take it back.”
