Chapter 24: The Moon Closes Its Eyes

When Chen Jing came to Kui Nan's house, he smelled a smell of blood before he entered the door, and he could vaguely hear the sound of someone hammering the floor in the dark room.

"Boss?"

Chen Jing walked in cautiously with the bag in his hand, and did not stop until the end of the entrance.

Since there was no light in the room, only the white moonlight was reflected through the balcony at the moment, and the living room was particularly dim.

Kui Nan squatted on her knees in the corner of the living room without saying a word, from the moment Chen Jing walked into the room, she always turned her back to Chen Jing, as if she didn't want to deal with this liar.

"Boss?"

Chen Jing cautiously walked to Kui Nan's side, and casually glanced at the pitted floor beside her, remembering that there were no such uneven potholes when she came last time, these should have just been smashed out by Kui Boss......

What did you smash it with?

I guess it's a fist.

Chen Jing looked at the fist marks in one of the pits, and suddenly wondered if it was not good for him to apologize in Kui Nan's anger......

"Get out." Kui Nan hugged his knee and moved his butt in, still reluctant to turn around to look at him.

"Actually, this incident is a mistake...... Forget it, I'll admit that I lied to you at first, I'm sorry. ”

Hearing Chen Jing's words, Kui Nan didn't react, maybe he really didn't want to pay attention to him.

"The main thing is that you scared me when we first met...... If I just say that I am Chen Bofu's grandson...... You guess you strangled me to death on the spot......"

"I don't dare." Kui Nan said coldly, continued to hug his knees against the wall, and said without looking back, "Who are you, you are Chen Bofu's grandson, others dare to kill you, I don't dare." ”

"I'm just going to lie to you, I didn't lie to you about anything else......" Chen Jing explained helplessly.

"As long as you lie to me, you can't do anything." Kui Nan said expressionlessly, "What's more, besides this, do you have anything important to lie to me?" ”

Chen Jing thought about it and couldn't help but say.

"It's true that I want to be friends with you!"

“……”

At this point, Kui Nan finally turned around, and then glared at Chen Jing viciously.

"I said I don't want friends!"

"I know, but ...... Are you hungry? Chen Jing saw that her mood had eased, and hurriedly took advantage of the victory to chase and put two bags of food on the ground, "Have you not eaten yet?" Why don't we have something to eat together? ”

Kui Nan glared at Chen Jing fiercely, she was about to lose her anger when she saw Chen Jing take the initiative to apologize, but when she heard that he was coaxing herself as a child, she immediately became angry.

"I don't eat it!"

"Eat, eat, eat, eat......"

Chen Jing squatted on the ground to open the lunch box as if he hadn't heard it, took the initiative to help Kui Nan take a pair of chopsticks and handed them to her, and muttered, "Eat a little bit, only when you are full will you have the strength to kill me......

It wasn't until Kui Nan took the chopsticks angrily that Chen Jing dared to raise his eyes and look at her secretly.

Well.

I don't seem to be so angry anymore.

Looks like I've got a talent for making friends!

"Look at the eyeballs and gouge them out for you!" Kui Nan gestured with chopsticks to a threatening action, and his eyes were red as if he had just cried not long ago.

"Dig it, just dig it, you don't have to get angry!"

Listening to Chen Jing's cheeky words, Kui Nan couldn't help but slap him on the head with chopsticks, which suddenly made him have a red spot on his forehead.

It looks quite auspicious.

"I hate it when people lie to me the most...... Kui Nan said, and then lowered his head to look at the chopsticks handed by Chen Jing, his tone became a little lost, "Don't lie to me no matter what happens in the future...... Otherwise, I'm going to hate you to death......"

"This time it's an accident, I don't want to......" Chen Jing scratched his head and explained helplessly, "When I went to deliver a receipt to Yanque, I reported myself to my family openly, and I didn't deceive anyone......

"Oh?"

In an instant, Chen Jing realized that he seemed to have said the wrong thing.

If it's not good to mention anyone, you have to mention the sparrow.

That was Kui Nan's most unpleasant neighbor......

"You don't even lie to her, just me?" Kui Nan clenched the chopsticks in his hand, "In your eyes, I'm not as good as that crazy woman in Yanque?" ”

"Boss, can we be reasonable...... Chen Jing said bitterly.

Kui Nan raised his hand and slammed it over with chopsticks, which suddenly made Chen Jing have an extra red dot on his head.

"Contemptible people are not good at reasoning!"

“……”

"Why do you want to be friends with me?" Kui Nan suddenly asked.

At this moment, Chen Jing crossed countless hypocritical compliments in his mind, but thinking that he had just promised her not to lie to her again, he finally decided to tell the truth.

"You're righteous enough." Chen Jing said.

"Well, I believe this reason, it turns out that my friends say that I ......"

At the mention of his past friend, Kui Nan's face suddenly darkened, and he gently inserted the rice in the lunch box a few times with chopsticks, and was silent for a long time before finally speaking.

"Do you know why I don't want to make friends?"

After hearing the old man talk about Kui Nan's past, Chen Jing actually probably had the answer in his heart, but now it is difficult to speak.

"I don't know...... Tell me about it? ”

"Because I'm insane."

Kui Nan suddenly raised his head and stared directly at Chen Jing, a trace of imperceptible pain flashed in his scarlet eyes.

"I like to kill."

"Hmm...... The hobby is quite special. ”

"No, it's not a hobby, I don't know how to explain it to you...... I get sick when I'm emotional! ”

Kui Nan subconsciously clenched his chopsticks, and every word he said seemed to pop out from between his teeth.

"When I am sick, I attack every living creature I see......"

"You're not sick now, are you?"

"Not now...... I haven't gotten sick in years...... Actually, you don't have to be afraid......"

Kui Nan was also secretly looking at Chen Jing as he spoke, and saw that he was neither afraid nor surprised when he heard his story, but still smiled gently and helped him pick up vegetables, and his heart was suddenly a little moved.

But there were only about two seconds left for her to be moved.

"Actually, I don't think there's anything to be afraid of, if you lose control, I'll run home and hide, or call the old man to beat you up and sober you up."

“……”

"It's okay, let's eat."

Chen Jing sandwiched a piece of ribs that were simmered and boneless for Kui Nan, as if he didn't take Kui Nan's words to heart at all, and still smiled very gently.

"This one is delicious!"

Kui Nan snorted angrily, threw the sauce-filled ribs into his mouth and chewed viciously.

"You're not me, you don't understand how horrible that feeling is, I was sober when I killed them, but I couldn't control myself......"

Speaking of this, Kui Nan suddenly realized that he seemed to be a little stupid, and it was completely pointless to say this to such a pampered young master.

"Forget it."

Kui Nan puffed her head away, not wanting to look at the smiling face that would make her want to punch her.

"You don't understand what I'm talking about......"

"I can imagine it."

Chen Jing had a trace of distress in his eyes, and his voice was very soft, but his tone was unprecedentedly serious.

"I have also lost my loved one, although she did not die because of me, but my guilt for her, I think it should be similar to the guilt in your heart......"

Kui Nan stopped talking, just glanced at Chen Jing, and then lowered his head and ate his meal absentmindedly.

After a while, Kui Nan suddenly spoke, as if he was still sighing.

"I thought that old madman's grandson was also a madman, but I didn't expect you to look quite normal, much more pleasing to the eye than that old thing......"

"You haven't seen me before?" Chen Jing couldn't help but ask curiously, and said that Kui Nan was also an old resident of this community, and he should have some impression of "himself".

"I like to stay at home and don't like to go out and meet people." Kui Nan shrugged his shoulders very calmly, "I've only heard of you. ”

"No wonder." Chen Jing smiled and said, "Before we met, you must have thought I was as crazy as my grandfather." ”

"Isn't it!" Kui Nan nodded, and his tone was very serious, "I thought you were the kind of murderer who was about to eat children just like your grandfather, but now it seems that ...... You don't look like your grandfather's seed at all. ”

"Why do you sound like you're scolding me......" Chen Jing scratched his head helplessly.

"Praise you!" Kui Nan took a piece of fried chicken from Chen Jing's bowl, stuffed it directly into his mouth and chewed it, and said inarticulately, "Look at the appearance of your weak chicken, I guess I haven't even killed anyone......

As soon as the words fell, Kui Nan found that Chen Jing suddenly lost his voice, and looked at the food without saying a word as if he was in a daze.

"Why don't you speak? Pricked you in the heart? Kui Nan subconsciously raised his hand and scolded Chen Jing, and asked cautiously.

"Not ......"

Chen Jing sat cross-legged on his back to the dilapidated balcony, and the foggy white moonlight outside the window cast in, reflecting the face that was always smiling, making it difficult to see.

"I just think you're really right."

"yes!" Kui Nan was proud of the viciousness of his eyes, and hummed in his mouth, "With the appearance of your little angry bag, it's okay not to be bullied by others!" ”

"The Boss is right."

Chen Jing subconsciously touched his face, and suddenly felt that this harmless face of humans and animals was really useful, and his smile suddenly became brighter.

"In the future, if the boss is covered, no one will dare to bully me."

"Little meaning, whoever dares to bully you in the future will tell me, Lao Tzu will beat their brains out...... But then again, will you be able to bring me food more often in the future? ”

Chen Jing looked at the wide dog eyes and nodded without hesitation.

"Yes."

"Great! In this way, I will be able to use the money I saved to buy games in the future......" Kui Nan was so moved that she almost burst into tears, grabbed Chen Jing's shoulders and kept shaking, "You are Lao Tzu's little angel!" ”

"You don't have to be so excited......"

Suddenly, a desolate roar came from the depths of the city, and the terrifying roar like the wind whistled the glass windows of the balcony to a buzzing sound, and even Chen Jing felt the floor tremble with it.

"What's it called??"

Chen Jing couldn't help but stand up and look in the direction of the roar through the glass window of the balcony.

That strange sound was clearly not a natural howl, it must have been made by some kind of creature!

"What ......else could it be, O Atonement?"

Kui Nan was no stranger to the strange roars in the city, and even felt that Chen Jing was a little rare and strange, after all, for every resident of the Eternal Night Market, this kind of roar was a proof of the safety of the moon worship period.

"The fog has cleared ......"

At this moment, Chen Jing suddenly found that the fog that shrouded the city had dissipated, and this city called "Eternal Night" had never been so real in his eyes.

He had expected the city to live up to its name.

Eternal Night.

Never-ending shrouded in the long night.

Whether it's a suburb, a city or a wasteland.

As far as the eye can see, it is obscured by mist.

But this moment......

Chen Jing found that the fog with visibility of no more than two hundred meters had dissipated.

The city of Eternal Night, shrouded in mist and dense forests like a forest, had never been seen so vividly by him......

Dense dove houses of reinforced concrete and some strange wooden buildings complement each other in the city, and the wide, empty streets are filled with only the speeding of buses.

The banks of the "Moonlight River" that traverse the Eternal Night Market are covered with giant reed-like plants, and their large, slender bodies collide with each other to make a sound when the night breeze blows.

In Chen Jing's slightly brief memory.

The city called Eternal Night has never been brighter.

It was as if that strange celestial body in the sky had become the sun in some sense.

The bright moonlight became more and more dazzling, and the cold moonlight was like a white and invisible flame, engulfing the entire city in an instant, making it begin to burn silently......

Chen Jing couldn't help but raise his head and look at the moon that had not changed for ten thousand years.

"It turns out that this is the ...... of the moon worship period," Chen Jing was shocked in his heart.

At this moment, the indescribable celestial body had closed its terrifying one-eye, and the mouth that almost crossed the entire equator of the moon also changed shape, and the corners of the mouth gradually turned down, revealing an extremely human expression, angry and irritable.

"Behold, the atoning ones have come ashore."

Hearing Kui Nan's words, Chen Jing hurriedly withdrew his gaze and looked far away in the direction of Kui Nan's finger.

Only now did he understand.

What kind of creature came from those terrifying roars before?

That's dozens of behemoths thirty or forty stories high!

Their bodies are like enlarged "stickmen", with extremely simple structures and distinct limbs.

It was made of the heads of countless creatures connected with rusty chains......

Under the cold and bright moonlight, those giant creatures called "Atonementers" walked out of the "Moonlight River" as wide as the sea one after another.

Like a fierce soul who escaped from hell and returned to the yang world.

With a deafening, terrifying roar from the heads, they began to roam the empty streets of the Eternal Night Market......

"Hey, what's the fuss."

Kui Nan suddenly patted Chen Jing's shoulder from behind, and the smile on his face was as hearty as the night.

Without waiting for Chen Jing to respond, she took the initiative to hook Chen Jing's neck and laughed at the one-eyed moon in the sky.

"Ah Jing! Happy Lunar Season! ”
