Since The Red Moon Appeared

Chapter 871: The laughter that passed through time (1)

The last time he saw teacher Lu up close was two hours ago.

At that time, the countdown in her eyes was three hours, seven minutes, and forty-two seconds. Now, she only had slightly more than an hour left.

Lu Xin sat quietly in the security booth for about two hours before he walked out. He silently smoked a cigarette outside the school’s metal gates, then threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stepped on it to put it out. He stretched his body slightly before turning around and walking back in.

He went straight to the teaching building.

The countdown was about to reach zero, and teacher Xiaolu’s executioner was about to appear.

Of course, he had to stay by teacher Lu’s side.

Even for him, there was not much difference between staying at the security booth and staying beside teacher Lu.

It was very quiet in the teaching building. The children had been assigned to a dormitory on the first floor near the West auditorium by teacher Lu. They were not allowed to come out no matter what they heard.

She stayed in the office on the east side of the third floor.

It was as if he was subconsciously keeping these children as far away from him as possible. If anything happened, it would not affect them.

If it were not for the fact that qingang was under the surveillance of the pair of eyes and was under great pressure, chaos could break out at any time. It was not safe to stay outside the primary school. Miss Lu might have arranged for them to leave the school.

Lu Xin quietly made his way upstairs to the office on the third floor and knocked on the door.

There was no answer, so Lu Xin opened the door on his own. He had taken the key from the old security guard.

The office was very dark.

This primary school had been transformed from a villa, and teacher Lu’s office used to be the study of a rich man.

The space was very large, and there were many different types of light sources installed on the left, right, and right.

But now, teacher Lu only turned on the desk lamp.

Most of the space in the office was submerged in darkness, leaving only a little light in front of him.

She sat in the wheelchair and changed into a set of clean clothes. She lowered her head and a blanket was draped over her legs.

The room was a little cold.

She didn’t even lift her head when she heard Lu Xin’s arrival. She remained seated quietly at her desk.

Lu Xin stood at the door for a while before walking in slowly. He pulled out a chair and sat down in the middle of the office.

He would not be too close to teacher Lu, but he would not be too far away either.

Then, the two of them didn’t say anything. They just sat there quietly, keeping a distance from each other.

Lu Xin couldn’t get closer to see the countdown in miss Lu’s eyes, but he had already calculated that there should be an hour left before the countdown hit zero, which meant that the police would arrive in an hour.

But every time he got close to miss Lu, the countdown in her eyes would speed up.

Based on this calculation, the time of the arrival of the law-enforcement officers might be ahead of schedule.

But it didn’t matter. Since they would come eventually, he didn’t mind meeting them a little earlier.

..

..

“Lu Xin …”

He didn’t know how long he had been sitting there quietly, but it was so quiet that the atmosphere in the office felt a little depressing.

Teacher Lu seemed to be unable to bear the pressure. After a long silence, she raised her head and called out.

“I’m here,”

Lu Xin, who was sitting on a chair, replied with a smile.

“You really …”

Teacher Xiaolu hesitated for a moment and said, “”Are you really going to stay here and guard me?”

“Aren’t you worried that there will be danger?”

“..” freewēbnoveℓ.com

Lu Xin smiled at Lu and said, “”I’m not afraid of danger.”

Miss Lu raised her head and looked at him. She seemed to see a familiar shadow on his calm smile.

This caused her body to tremble, and she hugged her body tightly.

After a long while, he raised his head, as if he was trying hard to control his emotions, and said in a trembling voice, ”

I know, you’re trying to protect me …

“But have you ever thought that I actually deserve this?”

“..”

. I deserve it …”

Lu Xin could sense the strong sense of guilt in her tone.

This made him feel a little strange.

“Then why don’t you tell me why you have such a thought?”

“Because …”

Teacher Xiaolu’s lips trembled and she looked a little desperate. some things may not be as you think. Some people are not as good as you think. You are a really kind person because you always think that others are so kind. However, some people may not be worthy of this kindness at all. No matter how well they pretend to be, there will always be dead souls in the corner staring at them …

Her tone was too strange.

For some reason, Lu Xin felt his hair stand on end.

He raised his head and looked into miss Lu’s eyes.

At such a close distance, Lu Xin could see the countdown timer in her eyes decreasing at an insane rate.

He was waiting for teacher Lu to continue, but found that she had become silent.

Her face was filled with a conflicted expression, as if she was caught in a painful choice. The words were stuck in her throat, but she could not say them.

This was an extremely unbearable torture for those who were waiting for an answer.

However, Lu Xin was not in a hurry.

After the high-level sparring with him on mental pollution and mutation, he had learned a lot of detailed knowledge that he had not mastered before.
