Chapter Twenty-Seven: Xiaoqing's Story

……

It has been four days since the explosion at the East Bazaar that day.

At this time, the sun gradually set, and the countless white clouds in the sky were mixed with a hint of red.

In front of the base building of the new third district, several trees of unknown species stood tall in the dirt pit, and the leaves on the branches had turned red.

It's been a while since summer turned into autumn.

Today is the middle of the seventh month of the lunar calendar.

Many of the customs that preceded the invasion of the gods are still preserved.

For example, festivals.

And the middle of July is the Mid-Autumn Festival of the lunar calendar.

Since most of the cult's followers have already suffered from the Killing God Department and the Operations Department.

In the past few days, the new three districts have been divided a lot, and there have been no strange incidents, and there have been no more incidents of the type of evil god cults.

In the days since that happened, the people above have moved very quickly.

In just a few days, they investigated all the people in the new three districts.

Among them, they found many ordinary people who had been polluted by the evil gods' tricks.

The operations department quickly purified the spiritual power of those ordinary people who were injured by mistake.

I've been busy for several days, and today happens to be the Mid-Autumn Festival again.

Everyone in the Operations Department can finally rest.

Early this morning, Li Yu took Xiaoqing to the market to buy items needed for the festival.

Li Yu bought a large box of mooncakes, as well as many ingredients, and she decided to let Lu Kui show her hand at night.

Lu Kui's cooking skills are still very superb, at least much better than several people in their team.

After shopping, Li Yu and Xiaoqing returned to the base.

This stayed in the base until it was almost evening.

Seeing that the sun had just set, the round moon shadow was already half hidden in the air.

Lu Kui shows off his mastery of cooking to his teammates in the Operations Department.

Plates of steaming vegetables and meat were served to the table by him when they were ready.

The careful Li Yu prepared a lot of ingredients, after all, there was a Wang Ming in the team who had a bottomless stomach.

Seeing that the dishes were ready, Wang Ming couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks and pick up a pinch of fish.

The fish is fragrant in the mouth, the taste is tender, and the taste is just right.

Wang Ming's eyes lit up, he glanced at Lu Kui and said, "It's so delicious!" ”

Hearing his words, several other people couldn't help but taste a pinch of fish meat curiously.

"It's delicious!" After Wu Jian ate the fish in his mouth, he couldn't help but give Lu Kui a thumbs up and said, "Do you think that even if you don't come to the operations department, you can rely on this skill to open a restaurant and make a good living." ”

Lu Kui smiled lightly when he heard this

Li Yu took a bite of braised pork ribs and said with a smile: "Don't just eat that plate of fish, the other dishes taste good." ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately targeted the dishes on other plates.

After Xiaoqing ate a few bites of food, her eyes silently looked at Lu Kui, who was sitting opposite her, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

After dinner, Li Yu took out the mooncakes she had bought at the market in the morning.

Lu Kui and Xiaoqing sat by the window together.

Xiaoqing took a bite of the moon cake in her hand, raised her head and stared at the white full moon outside the window.

Li Yu went to clean up the dinner table, and the little fat man Wang Ming was pulled by Chen Yong to the training room for training.

The rest of the people also left because of something.

Working in the operations department, except for Lu Kui and Xiaoqing, who are still studying, it is already good for the rest of the people to find time to have a reunion dinner on the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion night.

Of course, the little fat man Wang Ming is still studying, but he is an exception.

Lu Kui ate the whole mooncake into his mouth.

Well, it tastes good, and it's exactly the egg yolk filling he likes.

Xiaoqing stared blankly at the full moon outside the window, and somehow her eyes became a little moist.

Lu Kui noticed her abnormality and asked aloud, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Hearing Lu Kui's voice, Xiaoqing came back to her senses from her thoughts.

She reached out and wiped the tears under her eyes, and hurriedly waved her hand and said, "It's nothing ......"

I don't know why, Lu Kui always feels that she is a little strange these days.

Lu Kui said: "I seem to see you crying." ”

Xiaoqing was stunned when she heard this, and her eyes moistened again.

She whispered to Lu Kui, "Can you listen to me tell a story?" ”

Lu Kui nodded and asked, "What story?" ”

Xiaoqing turned her head, looked at the full moon in the sky outside the window and said, "Once upon a time, there was a little girl who lived in an ordinary family since she was a child. ”

"My parents are both workers, and I have an older sister who is three years older than her."

"The days are very dull, but they are also very happy, but this happy life was broken one day."

"It was also the Mid-Autumn Festival...... The little girl was just seven years old, and there was a custom in her village. When the people in their village celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, they have to set a table to worship the moon mother. ”

"There are rules for setting the table, you have to put the table facing the moon and put the food on the table, so as to ask the moon mother to bless you with peace."

"But what they didn't expect was that they didn't wait for Yueniang, but waited for a group of monsters."

"The monsters suddenly broke into the little girl's house and brutally murdered all of her family."

"The little girl's sister, in order to protect her, hid her in the closet, and ran out to attract the attention of the monsters."

"Those monsters are a bunch of werewolves, a bunch of werewolves who eat human flesh."

"Werewolves have a very sensitive sense of smell, and even if the little girl's sister hid her in the closet, they still found the little girl."

"After they had eaten the little girl's sister, they were going to eat the little girl again, and just as they were about to eat the little girl, several men with long knives appeared."

"The men kicked the door open, rushed inside a few times and eliminated the werewolves in the house, and when they had all the werewolves, one of the women picked up the little girl and kept reassuring her that she was okay."

"By the time they arrived at the village, most of the people in the village had already been eaten by werewolves."

"That day, the village was full of ghosts, and the little girl came to the conclusion from the mouths of those who solved the werewolves that the werewolves were a kind of monster called tricks, and those killed by the tricks had a high probability of being infected as tricks, and even if their bodies were eaten, their souls would be infected, because their souls were contaminated with tricks."

"A soul that has been infected by a strange spirit will never be able to be reincarnated."

It was on that day that the little girl suddenly awakened to her abilities. That night, dark clouds covered the white full moon, and it poured rain in the sky, and the strange aura emitted by those souls was drenched by the rain......"

"The sudden heavy rain seems to be the little girl's ability, but in fact, it is not the rain that falls in the sky, but the tears of the little girl......"

Lu Kui, who was listening on the sidelines, was silent for a moment, and asked out loud, "Is that little girl you?" ”

Tears welled up from Xiaoqing's eyes, and she nodded with tears.

Lu Kui took out a tissue to help Xiaoqing wipe away the tears on her cheeks, and comforted softly: "Don't cry, it's all over." ”

Xiaoqing nodded at him with a sob, then glanced at him and slowly rested her head on his shoulder.

Lu Kui's body stiffened suddenly, he hesitated for a moment, and finally didn't stop Xiaoqing's movements.

Feeling the warmth coming from his shoulders, Lu Kui remembered what Liu Liang said to him that day in front of the ruins of the shopping street: "So we have to destroy them." ”
