Chapter 936: The authority of the prisoner of the night (1)
All the commotion and resistance disappeared in an instant.
Lu Xin stood rooted to the ground, a strange feeling welling up in his heart.
Was that an illusion or reality?
Did he really fight this old man, or did he only fight once on the spiritual level?
An extremely tearing feeling appeared.
His mental state had stabilized, and he had even mastered the power of illusion. He could use his own illusion and see through other illusions. However, at this moment, he couldn’t tell if what he had just seen was real or fake.
..
..
“You …”
Just as Lu Xin was reminiscing about the confrontation, his mother’s voice rang out from behind him.
Her emotions seemed to fluctuate a little. She couldn’t bear it and asked with some doubt, “”Since you don’t intend to fight to the end, why do you want to do this?”
“Why would you rather sacrifice your eyes for this level of probing?”
“..”
Lu Xin didn’t even need to turn around to see his mother’s expression of pity.
The blind old man sitting across from Lu Xin seemed to be able to sense his mother’s heartache. A warm smile slowly appeared on his frail face as he tried to persuade Lu Xin, ” don’t worry. Actually, I’ve been blind for a long time …
the moment I couldn’t see the truth.
it’s a gratifying thing to see a new existence with these useless eyes.
“..”
“..”
Her mother didn’t say anything else, only letting out a deep sigh.
There was no longer any hostility on the old man. He did not even pay attention to the black box.
He slowly reached out his hands and touched the back of the long benches. Then, he slowly sat down. His body was trembling slightly. It was unknown whether it was because of pain or excitement. However, the expression on his face relaxed and relaxed at this moment.
It could be seen that he had really given up and no longer had any thoughts of stopping them.
“Hu …”
His father suddenly gasped for breath, like a person who had finally emerged from the deep sea.
He looked at everything around him in horror and excitement. He seemed to be overjoyed, or rather, he had just survived a disaster.
Just a moment ago, he was still in deep despair.
This was because when the entire town was swarming towards him, he clearly saw that the cage was about to be sealed, but he did not choose to escape.
However, he also didn’t have enough confidence to face the worst outcome. He was only hesitating and struggling.
However, in this kind of entanglement, he finally managed to get through that illusionary thread of life.
He did not abandon his family at the last moment.
In terms of feelings, this did not seem to be a very satisfactory performance.
Because he was shaken.
However, in reality, he had already gone against his nature and made a satisfactory choice.
Lu Xin understood his father and even thought that his father’s performance was not bad.
In life, one could not force others to give their feelings or force others to show their feelings that they did not have.
That was an unreasonable and most likely to disappoint him.
Now, it seemed that it was a satisfactory result that his father did not escape but stayed with his family.
Therefore, he turned to his father and nodded.
..
..
His father took a few seconds to confirm that the good situation in front of him was real.
Thus, his shadow began to tremble, like a frightened little beast. Slowly, tentatively, it flowed forward.
From the shadow, a palm stretched out and slowly reached for the box in the secret compartment.
He was testing the waters. There was a sense of anxiety, but it could be retracted at any time.
However, the blind old man just sat quietly on the bench and didn’t try to stop him.
A faint smile even appeared on his face as he said softly, “”Take it,”
“I took this thing back from you because I couldn’t let this world be filled with fear.”
“..”
His father had obviously become more vigilant. He put all his energy on the old man and touched the box little by little.
Her mother shook her head slightly, as if she felt that her father’s performance was not very good.
yes, ” she replied in a low voice. but you have never eliminated fear in this world.
“Yes, I am.”
yes, “the old man replied frankly. at first, I thought that truth could make people forget fear.
it was only later that I realized that the process of pursuing the truth was full of fear.
so, I also fell into confusion …
“..”
There seemed to be endless depression in his voice. After a long time, he forced a smile.
“You’ve done well, life voyger,”
“At this moment, you’re one step ahead of me, and you’re close to the truth,” he said to his mother.
Lu Xin noticed that he had only said “close “, but not” already “.
“Huala …”
It was also at this moment that a violent sound was heard.
His father had finally touched the black box. The next moment, he pulled the box over in an unusually rough manner.
From the guilty conscience of a thief, it instantly turned into the urgency of a robber.
Due to the violent movements, a row of benches were smashed into pieces by the boxes, making an abrupt and ear-piercing noise.
His mother and Lu Xin both shot their father a disgruntled look.
Even his younger sister, who was carefully crawling around the church and seemed to be looking for something curiously, turned her head around abruptly.
We all know that you’re actually too nervous about this, so you don’t appear calm at all.
But in front of outsiders, wasn’t this a little too uncouth?
..
..
“Hehe, you don’t have to be so nervous.”
The old man smiled and said in a gentle tone, ”
back then, I took away your authority only because I couldn’t place the switch to destroy this world in your hands.
“You were too strong back then.”
the first time it descended, 70% of the people in this world had already become lunatics. The remaining people were filled with fear.
“If you are allowed to roam this land, it is true that you will have a great chance of becoming a true king and ruling this world. However, when the remaining 30% of the people lost their minds because of fear, the world lost all hope.”
“..”
Lu Xin’s pupils contracted again.
From the old man’s words, he vaguely glimpsed some of the truth of the past.
Did they all come to this world during the red Moon incident?
This old man, or rather, the fire stealer, had also realized that the remaining 30% could not continue to be enslaved by fear in that disorderly and chaotic world. So, he had ambushed his father and given this civilization hope to rebuild?
This was very reasonable …
In the wilderness filled with lunatics, the people who started to gather survivors and build high walls to resist panic were all amazing.
If they were also enslaved by fear at that time, this world would indeed have no hope …
“Then why are you willing to return it to me now?”
His father looked at the box excitedly, almost greedily wanting to hold it.
After hearing the old man’s words, he suddenly revealed his fierce side and looked at him coldly.
“Because the life voyger is right.”
the fear in this world has never disappeared, ” the old man said slowly. on the contrary, some people have become radical and crazy because they lack fear. So, I need to return your power to you …
“Probably …”
After a slight pause, he sighed and said in a low voice,”it’s indeed impossible to calculate the true result with an incomplete process, right?”
As he said this, his voice slowly weakened.
He raised his hands in front of his chest and looked at the faceless statue, praying silently.
Looking at his back view, his father’s eyes suddenly shot out a fierce and ruthless look.
Suddenly, he opened the box determinedly, as if he was about to open a five-million lottery ticket.
Wuuu …
It was as if an endless number of vengeful souls had flown out of the box at this moment, and they flew in the air while howling.
They flew around the church like crazy.
It passed through every one of their bodies, bringing them a chill that reached their hearts.
Lu Xin felt as if his brain had frozen over.
Every pore on his body was tightly closed, and the coldness that seeped into his bones made him tremble slightly.
He turned to look at his father and saw that his father was looking at the black box excitedly.
Endless panic rose from the box.
It was as if the box was hell itself, and it contained everyone’s most painful memories.
At this moment, he felt his heart thumping.
He instinctively wanted to close the box and bury it in the deepest part of the ground so that no one could find it.
However, he was also looking forward to seeing what was in the box.
Mother’s scissors, Black Queen’s mirror, sword holder’s sword of judgment, and father’s …
..
..
His father’s gaze shifted from the box to his mother, who was standing in the distance, and then back to Lu Xin. There was a complicated look in his eyes.
After hesitating for a few seconds, he became determined again and slowly put his hand into the box.
The next moment, his father slowly picked up an item wrapped in endless black mist from the box.
Lu Xin’s vision went black the moment he saw the object. It was as if his vision had been stolen by the object, and at the same time, it was as if the object had accompanied him. Endless ravings suddenly rang in his ears, taking over all his thoughts, leaving behind only a cold, fear-filled feeling.
“Hehehehe …”
His father looked at the item with infatuation and couldn’t help but let out a deep laugh.
Lu Xin’s eyes narrowed.
There was a mask in the box. It was black and had a metallic luster.
It was like a mask that had been made from the purest part of the darkest night.
Lu Xin took one look at it and felt that it was night itself.
The deepest fear was hidden in the deep night.
To many people, the night was a fear, and this fear was hidden in their genes.
“Hahahaha …”
His father’s laughter suddenly grew louder and louder, as if it was shaking the entire world.
Then, he took a deep breath and greedily slammed that thing on his face.
