Chapter 347 We Are the Fire Thieves

Lu Xin sat quietly on the high stool, holding Chen Xun's arm.

The candles on the bar suddenly began to shake, not only the candles, but also the golden liquid in the four wine glasses on the bar, which were also shaking gently. On the wine rack behind the bar, the broken or empty wine bottles made a crisp sound.

Because of Chen Xun's words, more memories began to flow into Lu Xin's mind.

More and more things began to become clear.

He suddenly thought of the orphanage he lived in when he was a child.

It was a three-story building with a large space, surrounded by high walls and barbed wire on the walls.

He remembered that dozens of children lived in the orphanage, reading, playing, and listening to adults talk about civilized times. He also remembered that at that time, there seemed to be a lot of chaotic noises, gunshots, crying, and explosions outside the wall.

But the orphanage was very safe, and that kind of chaos never appeared in the orphanage.

He remembered the old director who was always kind and friendly.

He also remembered that in addition to the old director, there were often some "teaching teachers" in the orphanage.

Some of them were young, some were old, and some always gave people a cold feeling.

He still remembered playing and fighting with the children in the orphanage, and looking through the hidden folders on the old director's computer.

He also remembered that they helped the bullied Xiaojiu to "find a place" and grab the swing.

Such pictures began to appear steadily in his mind, as if layers of fog had been removed.

But suddenly, the fog turned blood red.

All the sunny pictures, like old photos, were stained with blood red edges from the edge.

And this shocking blood red color spread from the surroundings to the entire photo.

All the memories were stained with a layer of blood.

He saw the bloody corridor and the twisted corpses on the ground.

He saw the terrified eyes of Xiaojiu before he died.

…

Buzz…

There seemed to be some sound in the air, strangely harsh, making people's brains ache. .

The blood from his nose slowly flowed down the corner of Lu Xin's mouth.

Chen Xun looked at Lu Xin quietly, and carefully tried to break free of his arm. Fortunately, Lu Xin did not hold him tightly. He broke free, moved slightly, and then took out a brand new handkerchief from another pocket and handed it to Lu Xin.

Lu Xin took the handkerchief, wiped the blood from his nose, and looked at the red on the white handkerchief, slightly stunned.

"Brother, don't pay attention to him, he is lying to you..."

The sister clenched her two small fists and shouted to Lu Xin with force, her expression was ferocious, and... scared.

The shadow cast by the candlelight was projected in this bar, and in the shadow, it seemed that there was some kind of gaze looking at him.

"Haha, kill him, why don't you kill such a person quickly?"

"You have waited so long, isn't it just to kill him?"

"..."

These voices rushed into Lu Xin's mind, making his eardrums slightly numb and irritable.

"Who am I...?"

But he still remained calm, and the expression on his face seemed even less.

"You are a serious polluter."

Chen Xun observed Lu Xin's reaction and did not try to delay or conceal it.

He whispered, "When we found you, you were already seriously contaminated. In the eyes of others, you had no hope of being cured, but luckily, or unlucky, we still cured you... But at that time, we thought it was cured."

"And in the subsequent experiments, you showed great potential."

"We once thought that you were the best choice..."

At this point, he was silent for a while, and there seemed to be a bitter smile on his face: "Until, you ruined everything!"

...

"You..."

Lu Xin started, then stopped, his eardrums kept roaring.

His sister had already hugged his arms and begged him: "Brother, kill this man?"

"Don't you hate him? Shouldn't you make him into a toy?"

"Don't you want to make him into a toy while he's alive?"

In the shadow, his father's blood-red eyes emerged, staring at Lu Xin grimly.

"What are you waiting for?"

"You're just stalling for time, why don't you kill him?"

"..."

Lu Xin looked down at his hand and found that his wrist was already brimming with veins, as if there were snakes crawling inside.

He used a lot of strength to control the twitching and loss of control.

Then he looked up at Chen Xun and tried to make his voice sound steady: "Why did you do this... in the first place?"

"..."

Chen Xun sighed softly and looked at the seemingly calm Lu Xin with a puzzled look.

His fingers unconsciously turned the wine glass, and the golden wine was shaking slightly.

After a long while, he whispered, "You finally asked this question."

"We tried to make you understand, but you were too young at that time."

As he spoke softly, he raised his head, looked at Lu Xin with frank eyes, and said, "We tried to understand and master these powers."

"When the red moon appeared in the sky, we already knew that some changes that humans could not refuse had occurred."

"We discovered a power that has been with us, but we have not discovered it."

"This power can easily destroy our civilization, order, and everything we are proud of."

"At that time, too many people surrendered to this power and accepted everything willingly."

"It's like a mouse encountering a cat, and even forgot to resist..."

"..."

"But there are always people who are unwilling, just like us."

He paused slightly, looked up at Lu Xin, and there seemed to be some pride in his voice:

"You can understand that we are the ones who want to steal the fire!"

"No matter what we face, we believe that one day we can understand it and completely control it..."

"Humans are born to control power, aren't they?"

Chen Xun said with a smile on his face, saying: "Since we learned to use tools, civilization was born."

"Our history of civilization is a process of learning to control."

"In ancient times, thunder, lightning, earthquakes and strong winds were a disaster for humans, but we gradually understood and learned to control them, so modern civilization came. The appearance of the red moon is also a disaster, and we can definitely control it."

"Just like this darkness..."

He suddenly looked up and pointed to the bar.

Most of the bar was submerged in darkness, quiet and without any movement.

"Faced with darkness, we won't expect to wait for the sun to rise."

Chen Xun looked into Lu Xin's eyes and whispered: "We will try to light a candle and illuminate it."

...

"Buzz", "Buzz", "Buzz"

One impact after another, like a tide, squeezed Lu Xin's mind.

He heard some of Chen Xun's words, but not others. Even in front of him, Chen Xun's face was sometimes close and sometimes far away, like a painting that was held in someone's hand, rubbed and pulled apart. The real world had a kind of unreal absurdity.

At this time, his sister hugged his arms tightly, her face full of tears.

His father seemed to have walked out of the shadows. His tall figure was walking around him anxiously.

"Kill them all, kill them all..."

"He is a lunatic, all of them are lunatics..."

"He treats everyone as a toy, so we treat him as a toy too!"

"Let him regret it and remember this pain forever..."

"Let him understand the price of doing this..."

"..."

"Can you please stop talking?"

Lu Xin couldn't help it. He slowly turned his head and said to his father and sister beside him.

Both his father and sister stopped and looked at him with a gloomy face.

Lu Xin clenched his fist in annoyance, and hit his temple, and then hit it hard.

He seemed to try to calm his chaotic mind.

Then he raised his head, his eyes were full of bloodshot, and he stared at Chen Xun.

"Then you can..."

He tried to keep his voice steady: "You can just cut... cut people casually?"

"..."

A few candles on the bar suddenly went out.

Chen Xun had already calmed down, and when he saw Lu Xin talking to him, he had already closed his mouth.

He just looked at Lu Xin calmly, staring at his wandering eyes, and also at the bloodshot slowly emerging from his black and white eyes. He felt how irritated he was at this time through Lu Xin's action of hitting his temple with his fist.

After a long silence, he gently lifted his glasses and slowly lit the candles.

"Are you trying to tell me that even if you are pursuing the truth or a great goal, you still have to stick to the bottom line?"

He spoke softly, looking directly into Lu Xin's eyes, without any fear on his face: "I'm sorry!"

"I don't intend to discuss such a naive question with you."

"..."

Lu Xin looked up suddenly, and his strange eyes fell on Chen Xun's face.

"Kill him, kill such a person..."

"Chop him into meat sauce..."

"Absolutely, absolutely do not allow him to do such a thing to anyone else..."

Both his sister and father rushed towards Chen Xun, as if they wanted to tear Chen Xun into pieces on the spot.

But their hands were always some distance away from Chen Xun.

At this time, Lu Xin could faintly hear the sound of gunfire, the sound of heavy objects hitting, and the screams of some people on the other side of the building.

This made him understand that, probably in another direction, Chen Jing and others had begun trying to enter the laboratory and encountered some powerful enemies.

At the same time, he also realized that this relative was now in a hurry to do something else.

Lu Xin's ten fingers were cramping, as if shaking uncontrollably.
