Evernight God Walk

Chapter 4 Doubt
The first time Xu Shen saw Xu was in the morning three months ago.

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

That breakfast was wet and had a slight fishy smell. Xu Shen asked his mother what it was, and the answer he got was fresh strawberries.

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

For the smog people living at the bottom, it is a very luxurious and expensive fruit.

Usually it's the bigwigs who enjoy it freely...

With anticipation and excitement, Xu Shen tasted it carefully, but what he got was a bitter and fishy taste, especially when he bit it down, the smelly pulp burst instantly and permeated between his lips and teeth.

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

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

But soon, he felt a burst of dryness and heat, pouring out from the intestinal tract and gastric juice, extending all the way, following the blood pumped from the heart, spreading to the extremities of the whole body.

He thought it was a normal feeling to eat strawberries.

But then, a miracle happened.

In the nothingness he had felt for so long, a vague light appeared.

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

And that time, it was also the first time in his life that he regretted that he was able to see it.

Because the "mother" in front of him was the hideous and ugly Yumoji, whose appearance alone was enough to make people have nightmares.

Xu Shen didn't know how to describe the round strawberry left on his dinner plate, but he knew that it was definitely not the fruit of a plant, but a piece of flesh and blood!
Until later, he "saw" his mother in the place between the bridge of the nose and the hairline, the place called "eyes", and those eyes... were quite similar to the meat on his dinner plate.

Only then did he understand what the "fresh strawberry" he ate was.

Although it was the first time he saw her, Xu Shen naturally did not regard Yu Moji as his real mother.

Because he knows the approximate "appearance" of his mother, or in other words, he knows that his mother's figure and shape are similar to his own.

Even if he is born blind, it doesn't mean he has no common sense, not to mention that what he sees in front of him...is just the appearance, it is only the first time he "sees" the world, and he doesn't even have a judgment or cognition of the color, but he can sincerely understand the color. Feel the fear in that terrifying appearance!
But he didn't yell for the first time.

Maybe it was dumbfounded.

Perhaps it was the strong shocks of "seeing" and "mother" coming at the same time, which made him fall into a long silence.

When he came to his senses again, he found that he was able to restrain his emotions, so he suppressed his fear and carefully observed the world that he really "saw" for the first time...

Later, he saw his real mother, who had passed away.

The home is overrun by this monster.

Every day thereafter, the monster would bring some fresh "vegetables" to make himself breakfast, lunch, dinner, and occasionally some "fruit" and "snacks."

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

Xu Shen wanted to say, there is no need to...

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

He tried to resist, but saw the angry "mother" crawling around the house, hitting and beating on the walls, the ceiling, and the bedroom.

He felt scared, afraid that the other party would slap him on the body in a fit of anger.

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

So next, there will be three months of closed nutritional feeding...

……

……

Xu Shen's thoughts slowly returned to the Secret Bureau of 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 knew that Xu Shen couldn't see her, she still maintained her usual movement habits.

Xu Shen's heart skipped a beat, "seeing" the other party's gaze, he felt a sense of oppression.

But soon he slowly comforted himself that he has no eyes... This is a bad thing, but sometimes it is also a good thing, people can't read his thoughts from his eyes.

Just like the pity and sympathy that had surfaced in the young woman's eyes before, Xu Shen had a panoramic view, and could feel the other person's heart from it.

"I hope you don't hide anything. These are all to be included in the file, and they are also a reference for similar things in the future. They are valuable for contribution." The young woman said seriously.

Contribution value... Is there any value after contributing?Xu Shen thought silently in his heart, but he quickly agreed: "I will definitely cooperate."

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

The air became tense in an instant.

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

The feeling of insecurity struck again, his fingers under the table were slightly clenched, but they slowly relaxed after two seconds.

After being silent for a while, Xu Shen said: "I don't know, I just feel that my mother's personality has changed a bit in the past few months, but I thought that maybe something happened to my mother at work, which caused the change of temperament. "

"About work? It... can still talk to you about work?"

The young woman froze for a moment and asked suspiciously.

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

Young woman: "..."

"Okay, then the second question, normal people can eat what Xu feeds you, right? Why can you eat it? Besides, haven't you ever doubted it?" The young woman's eyes sharpened again, It seems that he wants to regain his aura for himself.

Xu Shen replied: "Of course I can't eat it. When I ate it for the first time, I almost vomited it out, but my mother got angry and lost her temper and forced me to eat. I always listen to my mother's words. My mother takes good care of me." It's hard work, so I don't want to make my mother angry, although it's unpalatable, I still eat it."

"As for doubt...why do you doubt your mother?"

The young woman was left speechless by the rhetorical question.

So... this kid is a dutiful son?
It seems to be too.

According to the information she got, the boy in front of her lost her father since she was a child, and her father was killed in a migrant job.

"You are 16 years old and an adult. You have been in the assigned job for two years. You go to work steadily every day. Suddenly your mother asked you to miss 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 foggy boy in front of her, feeling a pity in her heart. Eyes can reveal a lot. Although she sympathized with the boy's experience, judging from the information in this incident, There were so many doubts that she felt that the young man might have known that his mother had been replaced by a market beast.

Although... such a guess is incredible.

After all, if he really knew, this young man would definitely startle the beasts and be killed.

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

"I also find it strange, but my mother keeps saying that it's dangerous outside and won't let me go out. I can't disobey my mother, right?"

Xu sighed deeply, and said in a low voice: "Besides, you can find another job if you lose it, but there is only one mother, and it is for my own good..."

The young woman was speechless.

"Okay, let's go here today."

Seeing Xu Shen's depressed mood, the man next to him gave the young woman a wink, shook his head and said, "After all, he has just experienced so much and received so much new information, don't make things difficult for him anymore, he is just a foggy man , and can’t see it, not to mention that it’s a C-rank Ruins Beast, even if we have the ability to disguise, we might not be able to tell it apart, let alone with our eyes closed…”

"But……"

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

"And it will be off work in 2 minutes. I don't want to work overtime."

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

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

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

Seeing the boy being 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 didn't ask clearly. You have also seen the photos taken from the scene. It is simply hell. !

How could it be possible to not notice it after living with the Ruin Beast for three months in this environment?Unless he really has a big heart and is a filial son! "

"Yeah." The man nodded, looked at his watch, and asked, "What do you want to eat after get off work? I'll treat you."

"..."
