The dark red moon hung low above the city's rows of skyscrapers, almost filling half of the sky.

A dark black, rusty train around the city flew through the city under the watchful eye of the red moon, and in this train, passengers in various clothes were reading the newspaper and dozing off in the dim light.

"Ding, the moon platform has arrived!"

Lu Xin woke up from his sleep, lifted the bag, and flowed out of the carriage with the surging crowd.

With the bag on his back, he walked through the dirty and dilapidated steps, the platform full of newspapers, and walked to the ground of the city, looking up, the light of the neon lights around him made the streets of the city, and the people on the streets, have a strange feeling of color, but no matter how rich the colors on the streets are, the red moon over the city still represents the background color of the world.

Ever since the Red Moon event appeared thirty years ago, the whole world has been like this.

Of course, Lu Xin didn't know what the difference was, he was born after the Red Moon Event, and the world has always been like this.

He carried the bag through the small alley that had just rained, climbed a dilapidated old building, and the elevator broke down again, so he could only take the stairs, and slowly came to the front of room 401 on the fourth floor, took out the key, and opened the door with the thick door.

The hallway was quiet and cold, but the room was warm and soft.

In the kitchen, Dad is stewing meat, and the pressure cooker is bubbling hot, giving off an enticing aroma of meat.

My sister is lying on the couch, holding snacks and watching a very old cartoon, SpongeBob SquarePants.

Mom was elegant and decent, wearing a white wool cardigan, and was standing by the window talking on the phone.

"Brother Nine, you're back!"

Seeing Lu Xin walk in and put down the quilt, my sister raised her head and greeted her with a sweet smile.

"Little Seventeen is not good at home today, I bought you the little bear you wanted!"

Lu Xin touched her head and handed her a brown bear.

"Ah, thank you, brother, I like it so much!"

The younger sister jumped up happily and hugged the bear in her arms.

"Coming back?"

Mom glanced up at Lu Xin, nodded with a smile: "Sit down and rest for a while, it's going to be dinner soon!" ”

Lu Xin nodded and sat down at the table.

……

……

There were already four pairs of chopsticks on the table, as well as a few plates of green side dishes, and the rice was already a little cold in the bowl.

However, the family had no intention of sitting down to eat.

Mom is continuing to say softly on the phone: "Sister Zhang, in fact, today's incident is indeed wrong, don't be angry, of course, my gray woolen sweater style is indeed a little old, but how can I say that it is not good-looking?" …… Yes, that's why I called you...... Of course you didn't say it, but I know you thought so......"

"No, don't get me wrong...... I just wanted to ask you to apologize...... You don't scold people, it's too uncivilized......"

Dad's sound of chopping bones became louder and louder, and his scolding voice was faintly heard: "Scum, waste, casually breaking into other people's houses, damn it, damn it...... Damn, I can't finish chopping it no matter how I eat it, and I can't cook it cleanly! ”

My sister was happily sitting cross-legged on the sofa at this time, tearing the brown bear apart little by little, pulling it with two, biting it with that snow-white fine teeth, biting off the ears and eyes of the brown bear, and tearing off the two arms, little by little, and carefully watching the process of separating the arms from the bear's body, showing an excited and satisfied expression.

"I'm going to have to wait a while before eating!"

Mom had already put down the phone and said softly: "I had a little misunderstanding with my neighbor Sister Zhang, I'll go and apologize to her!" ”

As he spoke, he took out the scissors in the drawer, walked out elegantly, and closed the door.

……

……

Lu Xin sat quietly at the dining table and waited.

He felt that he was lucky, at the beginning of the Red Moon Event, the world had a long period of chaos, during that time, many people died, and there were many orphans like Lu Xin, among them, a large part of them disappeared after adulthood, and Lu Xin was able to be adopted by his parents and had a warm home, I don't know how many people envied him.

Of course, this family, these families, sometimes there is a little bit of weirdness.

But the family, in this run-down and filthy little satellite town, is still very satisfied.

Mom came back soon, with a relieved smile on her face, and said, "Sister Zhang has reconciled with me!" ”

Lu Xin found that under the collar of the white woolen sweater she was wearing, there was an inconspicuous bloodstain, which was very fresh.

The family began to eat.

My sister was still holding her bear, and she tore it open and sewed it back.

It's just that the body is patchwork crooked.,It's full of rough needle corners.,But my sister likes it even more than before.。

Dad sat down at the dining table, opened a bottle of liquor with a defaced label that could not be seen, took a pair of chopsticks and vegetables, and drank a glass in one go. There was no meat on the table, and Dad liked to chop bones and stew meat, but he never let people eat it, nor did he let people come near his iron pot. He was also wearing a plastic swarm, splattered with blood, and a few flies, circling around him.

Outside there were sirens approaching, and noisy voices kept coming, and I didn't know what to say.

"Smack!"

Dad suddenly put down the wine glass and looked out the window with blood-red eyes: "It's noisy, it's fucking noisy, and I don't even let people eat a stable meal, the Waste Metropolitan Police Department, I can't find out anything, the waste neighborhood, I know how to peek at others every day!" ”

"Don't scare the kids!"

Mom picked up a green vegetable and ate it carefully, her bright red lips were very dazzling in the dim light.

Lu Xin remembered that she didn't wear lipstick.

"Fuck the kids, damn it, damn it!"

Dad was even more angry, grabbed the wine bottle tightly with his five fingers, burst into bruises, and scolded: "Bitch, you deserve to die too!" ”

"Yes, in your eyes, everyone deserves to die, only you don't deserve to die!"

Mom smiled elegantly and calmly: "Because you want to keep the corpse in the end, don't you, you like to collect corpses!" ”

She said, put down the dishes and chopsticks, smiled softly, and looked at her father: "Because those people are better than you when they are alive, and they are all more capable than you, so you especially don't like to see them alive, you like to watch them look like they can't talk anymore!" ”

"Shut up, shut up, you know?"

Dad was so enraged by his mother that he smashed the bottle and rushed up and grabbed Mom's neck.

"Giggle......

Mom smiled very happily, even if her face was purple, her smile was still very elegant: "Waste...... Waste ......"

"Smack!"

Dad finally couldn't help it and began to punch and kick each other, causing the restaurant to shake constantly.

"Wow...... Daddy, don't hit Mommy......"

The younger sister was so frightened that she cried and hugged the bear tightly, and suddenly her face changed again, and she giggled: "It's fun, it's fun, it's fun......"

While laughing, she suddenly turned over and jumped, like a nimble spider, climbed to the ceiling, hooked the chandelier with both feet, and somehow fixed her body, twisted and turned her head, looking at the fight below, holding the toy bear in her mouth, clapping her hands hard, and whimpering in her mouth, as if laughing, as if crying: "It's so fun......"

Dad became more and more angry, his body seemed to be expanding, his muscles broke through his shirt, revealing a cyan, stiff black hairy back, his facial features became distorted and huge, he waved his fists, and hit his mother hard, punch after punch, and his mother had been beaten by him, but his voice was still so elegant: "It's good, this impotent rage look......"

Lu Xin took the rice, sat next to the table that had been overturned, and slowly ate the rice grains in the bowl.

After the Red Moon event, it's rare to have a warm family......

Although there will be some small problems in my own family, and sometimes I will quarrel and fight, but I am still home......

……

……

Outside the window, a room facing the living room window of the Lu Xin family was furnished into a simple studio.

There is a short-haired woman in a casual suit, looking through a telescope at Lu Xin's room.

Through the lens of the telescope, you can see that in that empty room, Lu Xin is sitting on a chair eating alone, obviously he is the only one sitting there, but in that room, it seems that there has been an earthquake, the tables and chairs have been overturned, the chandelier keeps shaking, and on the window glass, a white flower-like crack appears from time to time, as if something has hit it.

"The telekinesis of the thirteenth Psychic Observer has appeared!"

Two young men in elaborate overalls beside her, one calculating and the other recording.

"Does he have the potential to be recruited?"

"How big is the potential threat?"

"What are the specific capabilities?"

The short-haired woman shook her head and said, "It's not clear yet, he's not like other mental deviants, he will show a strong abnormal form in the early stage, such as being able to enter other people's dreams, or inadvertently releasing mental plagues, etc., he looks normal, he can go to and from work normally every day, and can even handle work well, but his spirit will occasionally be disordered!" ”

"Sounds like a lot of potential and good to boot!"

Behind them, a man with a somewhat dignified face said, "Have you ever tried to let the Dream Maker enter his dream realm for evaluation?" ”

"Yes!"

The short-haired woman in the red suit nodded lightly and said, "But after that dreammaker entered his dream, he never came out again!" ”
