"No matter what you say, you can just accept the money."

Mrs. Wendy smiled and put the money into Lu Mingfei's arms.

"……thank you."

Lu Mingfei finally lowered his head and thanked him softly, but his tone was still full of embarrassment and shyness.

Mrs. Wendy looked at Lu Mingfei with a smile, her eyes were so gentle that they seemed to be dripping with water. She raised her hand and stroked Lu Mingfei's head, "My child, don't worry, this money is really not worth it to me."

It's important. As long as you are happy, this money means nothing to me. My son and grandchildren have left me long ago. When I see you, I think of my son and grandchildren. Don't mind, if

If you have time, you can take a look at me, this old lady."

Lu Mingfei bounced away as if he was electrocuted. The monster-like scene before was still lingering in his memory, almost becoming a psychological shadow on him.

But Mrs. Wendy in front of her still seemed to be the gentle and kind old lady.

Everything before was like an illusion.

But Lu Mingfei still couldn't help but think about it.

As a result, he was distracted from the work just now, and it wasn't until Mrs. Wendy called him again that he realized what he was doing.

"You don't look good. You should take a rest after today's work."

"No, I'm fine!" Lu Mingfei shook his head quickly and explained in a panic: "I'm just a little tired, thank you for your concern!"

"I remember that you should be staying at the Iris Hotel. The proprietress of that hotel is very nice, and the food there is delicious. You can try it." Mrs. Wendy suggested enthusiastically.

"Hmm... um, I'll think about it." Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

Mrs. Wendy patted Lu Mingfei on the shoulder, then stood up and left, "The work in the bakery was not very busy at noon. If you want to stay, I can provide you with some lunch. But of course, it's only bread.

, if you don’t mind being shabby.”

With that said, Mrs. Wendy turned around and walked towards the kitchen.

Lu Mingfei watched Mrs. Wendy's back disappear around the corner, and then sighed.

He did not choose to follow because the scene that just appeared was still lingering in his mind. He felt very uncomfortable all over his body. The feeling of being watched by some unknown existence made him feel very uncomfortable.

fear.

Although he didn't feel any danger, the feeling of being targeted still made Lu Mingfei feel uncomfortable.

He hesitated for a while and decided to leave here first.

"Mrs. Wendy, I made an appointment with other friends at noon today, so I can't stay here for dinner for the time being."

Lu Mingfei bowed apologetically to Mrs. Wendy.

Mrs. Wendy paused for a moment and nodded slightly, "Oh... In that case, forget it. Then, if you want to come and play in the future, you are welcome to come to me at any time."

Lu Mingfei nodded, then turned and walked outside.

His steps were slow, and his eyes scanned the surroundings warily.

He felt a strange breath.

The uneasy feeling he had had been getting stronger and stronger since last night.

He took a deep breath and quickened his steps.

The pedestrians on the street remain the same.

Lu Mingfei frowned and looked around. He couldn't feel any strange atmosphere.

Maybe he was just suspicious... Lu Mingfei smiled bitterly, and then continued walking.

He ran out of the bakery and quickly walked around a street.

After making sure that there was no one around, Lu Mingfei stopped and let out a long breath.

"What am I afraid of?"

Lu Mingfei frowned and looked to his left and right.

"Where did this inexplicable feeling come from? Could it be that I had a nightmare last night?" Lu Mingfei scratched his hair, looking a little distressed.

"Or was it influenced by the postman? ...The things shown in the lens may not be true, right? How can Mrs. Wendy be such a good person and be a monster?"

Lu Mingfei was talking to himself.

On the one hand, he didn't want to believe the horrific scene revealed in that monocle. Because in his opinion, Mrs. Wendy was really a very good person, and she could almost be considered to have taken him in.

I also gave him such a large amount of compensation, which basically covers the food supply for the past few days.

But on the other hand...

The things seen from that monocle were so real and so shocking.

Lu Mingfei took out the only remaining gold-rimmed glasses frame and tried to put it on his eyes. But unfortunately, the glasses without lenses could not function.

What I saw was still the same as before, there were no black lines all over the mountains and plains, and the pedestrians on the road still looked normal.

A sentence suddenly appeared in his mind:

——"Don't trust anyone, including yourself."

Lu Mingfei was stunned.

"What's wrong with you?" came a male voice from the side.

Lu Mingfei turned around and saw that it was the postman from just now.
