The first time Xu Shen saw the ruins was three months ago in the morning.

He got up as usual, went to the living room, and ate the breakfast that his mother had served.

The breakfast was wet and accompanied by a faint fishy smell, Xu Shen asked his mother what it was, and the answer was fresh strawberries.

Although he felt strange and confused, Xu Shen endured the discomfort and ate it because of his unconditional trust in his mother, after all, he had only heard of strawberries, but he had never eaten them.

This is an extremely luxurious and expensive fruit for the fog people who live at the bottom.

It's usually just the big guys who just eat it...

With anticipation and excitement, Xu Shen tasted it carefully, but what he got was a bitter taste accompanied by a fishy smell, especially when he bit into it, the fishy pulp burst open instantly, permeating his lips and teeth.

At that moment, for the first time in his life, he lost his yearning for the lives of those big people.

Considering the luxury of strawberries, Xu Shen still resisted the desire to vomit and swallowed it with difficulty.

But soon I felt a burst of heat, gushing out of the intestines and from the gastric juices, extending all the way down the blood pumped from the heart to the extremities of the whole body.

He thought it was a normal feeling to eat strawberries.

But then, something miraculous happened.

In the emptiness he had felt for years, a vague light appeared.

The light became clearer and clearer, and Xu Shen was shocked to find that he could actually "see".

And that time, for the first time in his life, he regretted that he could actually see it.

Because the "mother" in front of him is the hideous and ugly Cultivator who is enough to give nightmares just by her appearance.

And the strawberry left on his dinner plate was round, Xu Shen didn't know how to describe it, but he knew that it was not the fruit of a plant, but a grain of flesh and blood!

It wasn't until later that he "saw" his mother's position halfway between the bridge of her nose and her hairline, the place called "eyes", the eyes, the eyes...... It's quite similar to the meat on his plate.

Only then did he understand what the "fresh strawberries" he ate were.

Although it was the first time he saw it, Xu Shen naturally didn't regard the Cultivating Demon Ji as his real mother.

Because he knows the general "appearance" of his mother, or rather, knows that his mother's body and body shape are similar to his own.

Even if you are born blind, it does not mean that you have no common sense, let alone the ...... in front of you It's just the appearance, it's just the first time he has "seen" the world, and he doesn't even judge and recognize the color, but he can sincerely feel the fear from that terrible appearance!

But he didn't scream the first time.

Maybe it's confused.

Perhaps it was the strong impact of "seeing" and "mother" that hit him at the same time, which made him fall into a long silence all of a sudden.

When he came to his senses again, he found that he was able to restrain his emotions, so he resisted his fear, cautiously, observing the world he had truly "seen" for the first time...

Later, he saw that his real mother, who had died.

The house was overrun by this monster.

Every day after that, the monster would bring some fresh "dishes" to make himself breakfast, lunch, dinner, and occasionally some "fruits" and "snacks".

"Mom" said that she was still growing her body and wanted to eat three meals a day.

Xu Shen wanted to say, but you don't have to...

But he didn't dare to refuse, he didn't dare to provoke "Mom".

He tried to resist, but saw the angry "Mom" crawling around the house, banging and banging on the walls, on the ceiling, on the bedroom.

He was terrified, for fear that the other party would be angry and slap him in the face.

He felt that his small body might not be able to withstand the palm that could smash the wall.

This is followed by three months of closed nutritional feeding......

……

……

Xu Shen's thoughts slowly returned to the secret bureau of the ruins, the recording room.

"There are still some doubts about this incident, I hope you can cooperate with us to record it." At this time, the young woman stared at Xu Shen and said.

Although she couldn't see Xu Shen's eyes, and she knew that Xu Shen couldn't see her, she still maintained her usual movement habits.

Xu Shen's heart jumped, and when he "saw" the other party's gaze, some sense of oppression came.

But he soon slowly reassures himself that he has no eyes...... It's a bad thing, but sometimes it's a good thing, and you can't read what he's thinking in his eyes.

Just like the pity and sympathy that appeared in the young woman's eyes before, Xu Shen can see it all, and she can also feel the other party's heart.

"I hope you don't hide anything, these are all to be included in the archives, and they are also to provide a reference and reference for similar things in the future, which is valuable for contribution." The young woman said earnestly.

Contribute to the value ...... Is it still valuable to contribute? Xu Shen thought silently in his heart, but he promised quickly: "I will definitely cooperate." ”

"First of all, the first question, don't you really know that your mother has been replaced by ruins?" The young woman's tone slowly became harsh.

The air instantly became tense.

Xu Shen suddenly felt that this was not a record, but an interrogation.

The feeling of insecurity came back at him, and his fingers clenched slightly under the table, but slowly loosened after two seconds.

After a little silence, Xu Shen said: "I don't know, I just feel that in the past few months, my mother's personality has changed a little, but I think that maybe something happened to my mother at work that caused her temperament to change." ”

"Work matters? It...... Can I talk to you about work? ”

The young woman was stunned for a moment and asked suspiciously.

Xu Shen shook his head slightly: "Mom doesn't go to work for three months, even if it doesn't say it, I can guess it..."

Young woman: "......"

"Okay, then the second question, what the ruins feed you, normal people can eat it, right, why can you eat it? Moreover, you have not doubted it? The young woman's eyes sharpened again, as if she was trying to regain her aura for herself.

Xu Shen replied: "Of course I can't eat it, the first time I ate it, I almost threw up, but my mother got angry, lost her temper and forced me to eat, I have always listened to my mother, my mother took care of me very hard, so I didn't want to make my mother angry, although it was unpalatable, I still ate it." ”

"As for doubt...... Why should you doubt your own mom? ”

The young woman was dumbfounded by the rhetorical question.

To put it this way...... This kid is a big dutiful son?

It seems to be too.

According to the information she obtained, the young man in front of her lost his father when he was a child, his father was killed while working outside, and he was raised by his mother since he was a child.

"You are 16 years old and an adult, you have been participating in the assigned job for two years, and you have been working steadily every day, and suddenly your mother makes you absent from work for three months, don't you question it?" The young woman asked again.

If only he had eyes...... The young woman stared at the young man in front of her, feeling secretly sorry in her heart, her eyes could reveal a lot of things, although she sympathized with the young man's experience, but judging from the information in this incident, there were too many doubts, making her feel that this young man might have known that his mother had been replaced by the ruin beast.

Albeit...... Such speculation is incredible.

After all, if he really knew, this young man would definitely alarm the ruin beast and be killed.

It is impossible to live in such harmony for three months.

"I think it's strange too, but my mother keeps saying that it's dangerous outside and won't let me go out, so I can't help but listen to my mother, right?"

Xu Shen sighed and said in a low voice: "What's more, you can find another job if you don't have it, but there is only one mother, and it is for my good ......"

The young woman was a little speechless.

"Alright, that's all for today."

Seeing Xu Shen's depressed mood, the man next to him gave the young woman a look, shook his head and said: "After all, he has just experienced so much and received so much new information, don't embarrass him anymore, he is just a fog person, and he can't see it, not to mention that it is a C-level ruin beast, even if it is us, we may not be able to distinguish it, let alone close our eyes......"

"But ......"

The young woman was a little unwilling, she always felt that there was something strange in it, there was no reason, maybe it was just a woman's sixth sense.

"And in two minutes, I'll be off work, and I don't want to work overtime."

The man raised his arm to soothe his body, and smiled at the young woman: "Don't forget that he will also be our colleague in the future, and he will also be a member of the War Department..."

The young woman understood what he meant, and was a little helpless: "Okay." ”

The two got up, said a few polite words to Xu Shen, and sent him out of the recording room.

Seeing that the young man was taken away by colleagues from the War Department who were waiting outside, the young woman was still unwilling, and said: "I always feel that there are some strange things inside that I haven't asked clearly, and you can see the photos taken from the scene, it's hell!"

How could you live with a ruin beast in this environment for three months without realizing it? Unless he really has a big heart and is a dutiful son! ”

"Hmm." The man nodded, looked at his watch, and asked, "What do you want to eat after work, I invite you." ”
