When the husband returned home, he took off his coat and hung it on the hanger behind the door.
"dad!"
The little brown-haired boy shouted and ran out of the bedroom, throwing himself into his father's arms and smelling the reassuring scent.
The wife who was preparing dinner leaned out of the kitchen with an apron tied around her waist: "Honey, why are you back so late today?"
"I went to buy a newspaper."
The husband rubbed his son's soft and fluffy hair and took out the curled newspaper from his pocket.
"Newspaper? But aren't you illiterate, dear?"
"You just need to know each other."
"Wait a minute, I'm going to fill some water." The wife returned to the kitchen and soon took off her apron and walked out. She picked up the newspaper and read the title in confusion: "'The hero of the old days, the exorcist who seriously injured the third plague.
Coming back today'?"
"Yeah, it's spreading everywhere." The husband complained to his wife. "I managed to get a copy, and I don't know what the rip was in my pants."
The husband deliberately raised his leg to let his wife see his trouser legs, but the wife’s attention was focused on the newspaper.
"Wow, he's so handsome...and so young. Is he really an exorcist from the old days? Or was he just born back then?"
The husband rolled his eyes helplessly: "Please, look at my pants. I just want to know what is written on them."
"Okay, let me see what it says..."
The wife looked away from the blurry photo and read out the content.
"Now, sitting in front of me is: the exorcist of the old days, the holder of the cursed title "Lighthouse", the last exorcist, the exorcist with the honorary title, the one who sounded the death knell of the evil god, Lu Li.
"
"The moment I saw Mr. Lu Li, his appearance and temperament were unforgettable for me, as well as his wonderful aura that made people want to get close..."
…
"This is called an interview, a new thing from the Wiener Freeze Port." In the conference room, Professor Daisy Schmidt was explaining to Lu Li: "After taking the photo, the reporters working for the newspaper will ask you a few questions.
Prepare questions and the conversation will appear in the paper."
All the other professors and irrelevant people were kicked out, except for Tenacy, who was standing stiffly opposite, fiddling with camera equipment with his assistant.
Lu Li nodded lightly, of course he knew this.
"Is the technology of the Main Continent different from that here?"
"There are indeed some differences." Professor Daisy Schmidt said. "Steam trains, factories, electric lights and telephones... Although I am from Midnight City, I think you must be more familiar with it."
In Midnight City, there are no steam trains or factories. Electric lights are replaced by fluorite lamps, and the telephone is a means of communication that originates from the mysterious side of the giant tree.
As Professor Nuno Alexandrovich said, Vina Freeze Port and Midnight City are two completely different development directions.
As for the Lennon Islands? Most of the poor people living there died when the islands collapsed, and now only a few survivors are left lingering on the Broken Islands.
The Cultivated Garden has been silent for more than twenty years. No one wants to travel across the ocean to see what is going on there.
But when the dark clouds no longer cover the sky and false illusions do not replace the sky, people can still see the black halo above the farmland.
It's still bad there.
After setting up the camera equipment, the reserved Tenasi and his even more reserved assistant Xiao Xiao opened the conference room window and signaled that they could take pictures.
"Your Excellency Lu Li, please look here."
Tenasi waved to Lu Li, waited for him to look at him, and hid behind the camera equipment to press the button.
Bang——
The spotlight suddenly burst into bright light, and thick, pungent smoke floated up.
Little Sean lifted the black cloth he had already held in his hand and waved the smoke out of the window.
Tenasi moved the camera equipment and prepared for the next interview.
"Daisy... Mr. Daisy Schmidt, I want to know why you chose me..." Tenasi couldn't help but ask. He had been holding back this question for a long time.
"You are a lucky boy." Daisy Schmidt just said.
He wouldn't say that the owner of the Midnight City Chronicle was discussing with Dean Lawrence next door.
"Okay..." Tenasi was a little disappointed. He still had some hope that the exorcist would choose him by name, but when he thought about it carefully, how could that be possible? The exorcist didn't know him.
"But, I didn't prepare any questions..."
Rather than seeing this as an opportunity, the young Tenasi was more frightened.
"It doesn't matter, you can ask questions according to this." Professor Daisy Schmidt handed a piece of parchment to Tenacy, with questions that he had prepared long ago.
It can not only highlight the greatness of Lu Li's past, but also appear appropriately. This is the content that Crans University first discovered Lu Li.
As the interview continued, Tenasi's mood gradually eased.
In addition to wanting to get close, Lu Li seemed to have the power to restore people's rationality.
After the interview lasted for more than ten minutes, Tenasi looked at the last question on the parchment: "You still need time to get familiar with the current world. What do you plan to do in the future?"
Tenasi felt that Lu Li would say to continue driving away weirdos, which was undoubtedly the most "correct" answer, but Lu Li didn't.
"Looking for family," he said.
The interview was about to end, and Tenasi looked at Lu Li who was standing up calmly, suddenly unable to restrain his inner impulse.
"Please wait a moment, Mr. Lu Li, I have another question..."
…
"'Will you lead us back to the old days?' I couldn't help but ask. Mr. Lu Li quickly and calmly answered me: 'My strength and wisdom are not greater than yours. I am not a savior. I can lead you out of despair.
It’s just you.'”
Wow——
The wife put down the newspaper.
The husband woke up and looked at him like he was dreaming: "It's gone?"
"No, the following is...Thanks to Crans University for helping and recovering the exorcist."
"I want to be an exorcist too!" the little boy shouted after listening to the story.
All children have aspired to be an influence.
The husband fondly touched his son's head. Just as he was about to speak, he heard his wife complaining: "If the exorcist was really powerful, everything wouldn't be as bad as it is now..."
He raised his head and saw a scratch under his wife's eye socket.
The husband's prolonged gaze made the wife subconsciously touch her eye sockets, touching the scratches, and panic flashed across her face.
"I'll continue preparing dinner." The wife picked up her apron and hid in the kitchen.
Pain flashed in his eyes, and the husband gently patted the little boy on the shoulder: "Dad has to go to work, can you help mom in the kitchen?"
"Um!"
Seeing his son running into the kitchen, the husband got up and walked into the bedroom, locking the door behind him.
He lay down in front of the desk, pried open the floor tiles under his feet, and took out a black-covered notebook.
Most of the notebook is filled with writing, filled with unspeakable and obscure words. If you look at it for too long, your soul will be absorbed into it.
The husband picked up the quill and continued to write new content on the blank page.
The rational eyes turned bloodshot and crazy, and the murmur disappeared in the rustle of the pen tip.
