Starting from the Red Moon

The old building where Lu Xin lives has only six floors.

Looking from a distance, most of the surrounding buildings are taller, so they often block this old building.

Even during the day, there is little light coming in, so the room is always a little dark.

Because of the crisscrossing roads around, the nearest building around this old building is also 50 to 60 meters away. It's like a corner of this city, a forgotten existence, surrounded by several winding and undulating paths.

Because it is close to the main road and leads to several other residential areas with more people, the street lights are intact.

At this time, you can see that from the distance of the path, the street lights are extinguished one by one.

It's like there are two monsters that devour the light, crawling towards this old building little by little from both sides of the path.

Without the light, the light of the red moon above the city is brighter.

Lu Xin nodded, then returned to the living room, sat on the sofa, and watched TV quietly.

…

…

Under the old building, the wind began to become a little messy, as if it was due to the wrath of multiple road users.

The newspapers and plastic bags on the ground were picked up by the messy wind, flew in the air, and then shattered silently.

From a distance, as the street lights went out, it seemed that two invisible energy bodies met in front of the old building.

Normal people can't see them, they can only feel where they are, and see that place, like a slightly distorted air, and when they see it, they will subconsciously have a certain fear of that area in their intuition.

However, when the red moonlight fell from the sky, the distorted air faintly appeared a little bit of blurred light and dark blocks.

These blocks, if added with imagination, can draw patterns.

It was a creeper-like spiritual monster, and a fat monster with a necklace of human heads wrapped around its body.

They appeared from nowhere, but met in front of the old building and looked up at the old building.

Almost all the windows of this old building were dark, and only one window on the fourth floor was lit with warm light.

So, the two monsters climbed towards the window at the same time through different routes.

The creeper-like monster stuck to the wall and began to spread upwards little by little.

The fat spiritual monster with a necklace of human heads dragged his fat body and squeezed into the corridor little by little.

"Ka..."

When passing through the motorcycle parked in the corridor, the dial of the motorcycle immediately flashed a dazzling red light.

This is a spiritual detector installed on the motorcycle.

The strange red light illuminated the dark corridor, which was dilapidated and bright.

The spiritual monster seemed to feel something was wrong, and its movement to crawl forward slowed down slightly.

However, its own intelligence seemed not enough for it to distinguish these, so it still slowly crawled forward.

Where they passed, the air began to become distorted and a little oppressive.

Whether it was the mice in the dark corners or the stray cats in the empty houses, they were all frightened and squeaked and fled.

The big cat held the kitten in its mouth, and the mice bit their tails and formed a straight line, panicking and running fast.

As they entered the old building for a longer time, the whole old building seemed to become darker.

As if it was shrouded in thicker darkness.

Only the window on the fourth floor was still shining with a warm light.

It seemed to be warmer.

…

…

Slowly, the creeper-like spiritual monster, bit by bit, spread on the wall of the old building and extended upwards.

It has passed all the windows and submerged the entire floor of the building.

The last one left is the window with the light on.

Under the moonlight, dark red tentacles, like a group of snakes, approached the window from all directions.

They accumulated strength, like water, ready to flow into this window...

In the corridor, the fat spiritual monster had already climbed into the fourth floor, and slowly moved its body towards the tightly closed door, which projected a few rays of bright light from the crack of the door, and crawled towards it, bit by bit, getting closer and closer.

All the heads on the necklace showed expressions of gloating.

Just at this moment, a "hehe" laugh suddenly sounded in the air, as if a cute girl was laughing.

…

…

"Squeak..."

When the creepers on the wall were about to extend into the only open window, the window suddenly opened gently, and a woman with exquisite clothes and light makeup appeared at the window, as if to welcome guests.

"What are you waiting for?"

She smiled reservedly and enthusiastically: "Why don't you come in?"

At the same time, in the corridor, when the fat monster with a necklace of human heads heard the girl's laughter, he saw that the light in front of him suddenly became brighter, because the door in front was slowly being pushed open.

The warm light in the room, which could no longer be turned off, suddenly poured into the dark corridor.

But the light immediately dimmed, as if a tall shadow stood at the door.

…

…

The movements of the two spirit monsters were slightly slow.

The creeper-like spirit monster with countless tentacles lying next to the window on the fourth floor suddenly became a little hesitant.

The spirit monster in the corridor also stopped moving at once.

At this time, the expressions of all the heads on it became a little hesitant and strange.

…

…

"Shua!"

At this time, in Satellite City No. 4, a bowl of wontons had just been eaten.

The high school student with a gloomy expression on his face suddenly raised his head and frowned.

"What's wrong?"

The people sitting together asked subconsciously.

The high school student showed a trace of hesitation and confusion on his face: "I... don't know..."

...

...

"Buzz buzz buzz..."

At this time, in the only room with a light on in the old building in Satellite City No. 2, the voltage suddenly became extremely unstable, and the light flickered non-stop. This flickering and unstable state seemed to spread all at once, extending from the old building to the road next to it. Regardless of whether it was bright or dark, all the bulbs flickered at the same time, and then shattered with a "snap".

The red moon in the sky became brighter and more vivid.

The creeper that climbed to the window began to flow into the window little by little.

But if you look closely, you will find that it is not voluntary. Its body has formed a tense state, and this state even makes its body clearer under the red moon, like a group of snakes desperately pulling their bodies back.

But this pulling seemed to be in vain, and it still flowed into the window little by little.

"Hiss..."

It could not help but flow into the window faster and faster, and even made a friction sound like steel wire rubbing against glass.

So, soon its body, which almost spread over the entire floor and covered a wide area, flowed into the window.

No matter if it was willing or not.

Who could refuse such an elegant and gentle hostess?

…

…

At the same time, the spiritual monster that had crawled to the door of Room 401, its limited rationality, or instinct, suddenly turned into a warning of danger. It began to shrink back desperately, because the corridor seemed too crowded for its huge body, so it could not turn around at all, but just turned its front into the back and crawled desperately.

"Little doll..."

But when it began to retreat, the heads behind it saw a small shadow on the ceiling at the same time.

She was wearing a dirty white dress, and her messy hair was flying in the air.

"Don't run away if you come..."

She jumped down from the ceiling, stretched out her two little hands, and hugged the monster's fat body...

...Then she used all her strength and kicked her two legs to push.

Unexpectedly, the monster was pushed back a step by her.

Or rather, it was not pushed, but was frightened by her sudden jump from the ceiling.

The huge and bloated body trembled violently, and subconsciously shrank back.

Just by shrinking like this, part of its body was bathed in the warm light.

Then suddenly a big hand stretched out from the room and grabbed this part of its body.

The monster's body suddenly expanded and contracted violently, and all the heads on the human head necklace had expressions of fear and despair.

"Shua!"

The whole monster was pulled into the room in an instant.

Because it was pulled into the room so quickly, and the monster's body was abnormally large and bloated, it looked like it was torn apart in an instant, and then pulled into the room as a pile of minced meat.

Even the human head necklace on it was broken at once, and all the heads were scattered all over the floor.

Most of them were pulled into the room, and a few collapsed directly, turning into pure spiritual power and disappearing in the dark corridor.

Only one was left intact, with a terrified expression on its face, and began to roll out.

"Hehe..."

But this head heard a little girl's laughter.

It raised its eyelids in fear and saw a little girl squatting down and hugging it gently.

"Ahhhh..."

"La la la..."

Amid the terrified screams of the head, the little girl held it and hopped back home.

…

…

"Bang"

The door suddenly closed, and the corridor became dark.

The window also closed at this time, and then the curtains merged automatically, blocking the warm light.

The world outside the building suddenly became extremely quiet and silent.

The voltage has become stable, but the street lamp has no light because the bulb has been broken.

Only in the sky, a red moon, extremely bright and beautiful.

…

…

"Huh…"

Sitting quietly and watching TV for a while, Lu Xin looked up and saw that the house was much more lively.

Mom was chatting with the guests, with a kind and friendly smile on her face, and she was ready to take scissors to trim the guests' nails.

Father was very enthusiastic and had already entered the kitchen, as if he was preparing to add a dish.

"Bang bang bang bang..."

The sound of him chopping bones was particularly loud, revealing a kind of reassuring atmosphere of life.

My sister got a new toy from a guest, and at this time she climbed onto the ceiling and played with it happily.

"I'll make a phone call..."

After waiting for a while, feeling that the time had exceeded the three minutes the drunkard said, Lu Xin stood up.

It seemed that these monsters had been left behind by their families and would not disappear again.

He stood up and went to the window, took out the satellite phone, and dialed a number to the drunkard in Satellite City No. 4:

"You can start now."

"I haven't found the person with the ability yet, but he should come over soon, so you don't have to worry about him."

"Even if he doesn't come, I can lock him and he won't escape."

"Yes, just catch whoever you want to catch."

"Okay, I'll share any information with you later."

"..."

"..."

After the call was hung up, the pretty little girl in a command vehicle in Satellite City No. 4 looked heavy-faced.

She looked up at the armed captain who was fully armed and staring at her nervously, and nodded, "Okay!"

The captain, who had worked with the drunkard many times, didn't ask any more questions, not even a single question.

He just picked up the intercom immediately and shouted in a deep voice: "Action!"

"Take them all down!"

"If you encounter resistance, you are allowed to shoot!"

"..."

"Hua La La..."

Teams of fully armed soldiers rushed out from various hidden corners at the same time.

Some of them rushed directly into a cafe located on a busy street and quickly controlled everyone inside.

Some rushed into a residential house and caught people who were chatting together as if they were having a tea party.

Some rushed into a seemingly ordinary company, and with two gunshots, they knocked down the person at the front desk who was reaching for a gun.

"Stop, don't make any moves..."

Also in Satellite City No. 4, next to the snack stand on that street, many people who seemed to be eating, shopping, or chatting around suddenly pulled out their guns and quickly approached the wonton stand.

There were more than a dozen guns, pointing at everyone on the table, including the high school student and the little girl.

"What's going on?"

The middle-aged aunt screamed in panic: "What's going on?"

Facing the panicked eyes of his companions, the man who looked like a high school student rubbed his uncomfortable heart.

"I feel the real breath..."

He slowly raised his head and looked at his companions, with a smile on his face: "We are going home..."

"Don't move, don't talk..."

A gun was pointed directly at the head of the high school student, shouting loudly.

But the high school student didn't listen to him, he just smiled on his face, and then his body slowly fell backwards.

He didn't move, but lost his life in an instant, and his body became stiff in an instant.

The surrounding police officers looked at each other, not knowing what happened at all, but just felt tense all over.

…

…

"Everyone will die, but death is not the end."

"We will eventually return to our hometown, where we will never have to pretend…"

"Hometown hides all our truths, which may be ugly or forgotten, but it is our original appearance."

"I believe in my hometown, and I will stay in my hometown forever…"

"…"

There is a reassuring voice, echoing in my mind, and the high school student who slowly fell down slowly opened his eyes again.

He saw the warm lights and some old but ordinary decorations.

This made him feel relieved, and the most secret worry in his heart disappeared.

It turned out that what those people said was true, and after death, he would really return to his hometown…

Slowly sitting up, he felt that his body was very light, and his vision seemed to have become much wider.

"So, am I back home now?"

"..."

As he muttered to himself, his perspective moved slightly and he saw a sofa.

On the sofa, a young man with a warm smile turned his head and looked at him.

"No."

He smiled and replied, "You came to my house."
