Volume 1 The Origin of Nightmares Chapter 1 Satires are also demons
At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, Jiangjin City was silent, more than 90% of the entire city was extinguished, and the lights fell into darkness.
The quiet road was deserted, and the clammy and cold wind whistled intermittently, as if someone was crying.
In addition, there are faint footsteps in the dark night, but if you listen closely, you can't hear anything.
There is an unwritten rule that before 12 o'clock in the morning, all residents must hide in their homes and lock all doors and windows.
There have been people who didn't come home after 12 a.m., or forgot to lock their doors and windows.
But without exception, all of them died.
Some of these bodies are intact, others are mutilated. What's more, apart from the bloodstains at the scene, not even the corpses were left.
After a number of bizarre murders and missing cases, the mayor of Jiangjin City gradually paid attention to it, and issued a rule that no casual outings were allowed between 12 o'clock in the middle of the night and 5 o'clock in the morning.
However, today, although it is already twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, one of the happy communities located in the eastern suburbs of Jiangjin City is still lit up.
The owner of this house is none other than Ding Xiaofan, who lives in Building 1 of the Happy Community.
Speaking of Ding Xiaofan, his appearance is very ordinary, with black broken hair, a pair of black eyes, yellow skin, a height of about 1.75 meters and a slightly strong figure.
Except for the eyebrows that are a little thick, and there is a scar about eight centimeters long on the left forehead, Ding Xiaofan is quite handsome. If there is any flaw, it is too poor.
Ding Xiaofan's grandparents died of illness two years ago, and even his parents became a dinner for demons not long ago.
It is precisely because no one has taken care of him for a long time that he has become today's Ding Xiaofan, a twenty-three-year-old who has no girlfriend yet.
But Dick Si is also ambitious, in order to survive in today's money-profligate society, he occasionally helps others play game equipment to make money in his spare time.
Since I haven't been able to farm the game equipment I want today, I forgot the time while playing.
The most important thing is that in order to ventilate, Ding Xiaofan also opened the window in the room.
And at the moment, he was playing the game energetically, but he didn't notice that an aging arm had crawled in along the window.
"Uhh
Suddenly, a terrible scream came from Ding Xiaofan's house, which was particularly harsh in the community that had already been quiet in the dead of night. At the same time, the surrounding lights also became flickering and dimming, and finally went out.
"Damn! Why are you dead again! What a broken game!"
Throwing the earphones on the ground, Ding Xiaofan turned on the lights in the room again, and said to himself, "Strange, didn't you just pay the electricity bill last month?"
It turned out that Ding Xiaofan was playing a survival game with a terrifying background, and the screams just now came from the game.
Although he is very afraid of ghosts, he is comfortable playing this kind of horror game of being chased by ghosts, otherwise no one will pay him to help with equipment.
"I'm so hungry!"
After the game save was completed, Ding Xiaofan stretched his waist and staggered towards the kitchen. Immediately afterward, an arm suddenly appeared on the wall beside him.
However, the gurgling sound of its stomach was just right out of the sound of its arms crawling on the wall.
"Damn! How did this bowl of noodles become like this! Didn't you cook it the day before yesterday and didn't finish it?"
Opening the refrigerator in the kitchen, Ding Xiaofan was almost stunned by the foul smell coming from inside. I saw that the only bowl of noodles in the refrigerator was actually covered with long green hair.
Picking up the bowl full of green hairs in the refrigerator, Ding Xiaofan threw it into the trash in disgust.
In fact, it was the leftover half of the noodles he ate last month, and he hasn't touched them since, and he forgot about it because it had been so long.
"Fucking unlucky! Forget it, let's go out and see if there's any supper." Muttering, Ding Xiaofan casually took out a set of shabby clothes and put them on, then turned around and walked out of his dirty room.
But the moment he left the house, the bowl of noodles that had been thrown into the trash suddenly disappeared! It was as if an invisible monster had eaten up the noodles in the bowl. Then, a crumpled arm stretched out of the trash can!
With a cheap cigarette of three yuan in his mouth, wearing a black vest and a pair of five-point pants that could not be seen in the original color, the hungry Ding Xiaofan put his hands in his pockets and walked on the crowded street.
"Hey, why are there so few people on the street today?" Looking at the leaflets scattered in the wind and a few scattered "passers-by" on the street, Ding Xiaofan looked around for a place to eat. At this time, he was hungry and cold, and he did not realize that it was twelve o'clock in the night.
Walking all the way down the street, Ding Xiaofan was disappointed to find that almost all the shops were closed, and the entire Ping'an Street seemed to have suddenly become a no-man's land.
There seemed to be a smell of blood in the wind, a peculiar aura emitted by the ghosts.
But what he didn't know was that not only Ping'an Street, but the entire Jiangjin City had become a ghost town!
"It can't be so unlucky, Lao Tzu didn't even eat lunch today, is he really going to starve to death on the streets?"
Passing by the door of a stall with the door closed, Ding Xiaofan extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand in annoyance and kicked the roller shutter door of the stall fiercely.
After venting the annoyance in his heart, in desperation, Ding Xiaofan was ready to go home hungry like this.
However, when Ding Xiaofan left the stall and walked in the direction of the happy community with his head down, two black figures with scrawny eyes flashing green suddenly appeared where Ding Xiaofan was standing just now.
If you look closely, you will see that the faces of these two "people" are covered with gray scales like fish. And there are translucent tentacles about 10 centimeters long in the cracks of each scale, which looks very penetrating.
"Do you smell it?" asked one of the "people" who couldn't tell their gender at the other "person" with a blank face. Hearing this, another "person" opened his bloody mouth full of fangs, and replied with a cruel smile, "I smell it, it's the smell of a living person." ”
Obviously, these two humanoids are not human beings at all, but demons that live in the city like other ghosts.
"I want to fly higher! fly higher..."While humming a song, he walked back, and at this moment, Ding Xiaofan didn't know that he was about to die.
As he walked, Ding Xiaofan stopped abruptly, because his nose, which was smarter than a dog, suddenly smelled a very fragrant smell of barbecue. Looking at the fragrance, Ding Xiaofan was pleasantly surprised to find that the lights of a barbecue restaurant not far from the happy community were still on.
It seems that God is quite kind to a handsome guy like me. After talking to himself, Ding Xiaofan, who had long been so hungry that his chest was close to his back, immediately ran towards the barbecue restaurant excitedly.
The location of the barbecue restaurant was not very far from Ding Xiaofan, so in less than two minutes, Ding Xiaofan had already arrived at the door of this barbecue restaurant called Late Night Carnival.
"Boss, serve me five plates of beef fillet and a dozen beers. Coming to the barbecue restaurant, Ding Xiaofan shouted loudly and walked in. However, just as he walked into the barbecue restaurant, the glass door that said "No one should enter" closed by itself.
"This guest officer, did you just say that you want to eat beef?" Seeing Ding Xiaofan walk into the barbecue restaurant, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, and asked him with a smile, "The hall is full, can you please go upstairs to the private room?"
"Okay, but the private room can't charge me for the service fee!" Ding Xiaofan agreed. In his opinion, as long as it is both filling and affordable, it is the same wherever it is eaten.
"Then ask the guest officer to come with me, because it is a special case, so I will not charge you for your service. With that, the waiter politely took Ding Xiaofan to the private room on the second floor.
After a short wait, the waiter turned around and went downstairs.
"No wonder there wasn't even a single person on the street, but they all came to this newly opened shop. Leaning comfortably on the soft sofa and turning on the TV casually, Ding Xiaofan waited for the waiter to serve him food.
The layout of the private room is simple, with a leather sofa, a glass coffee table, a round table with 12 seats, 12 chairs and a 36-inch LCD TV.
The only thing that makes people feel creepy is that there is also a female simulation model in the corner that is indistinguishable from a real person in terms of height and texture. At first glance, I thought it was an ornament that the owner had placed there as a place for guests to hang their clothes.
"What's going on with this shop, why can't you serve the food yet! I'm almost starving to death!" After ten minutes, seeing that the waiter hadn't come yet, Ding Xiaofan, who was rumbling with hunger, was a little impatient.
But at this moment, he suddenly felt a cool breeze hit behind him. "It's strange, it's only September, why is it so cold? I remember there was no air conditioning in the room. Curious, Ding Xiaofan hurriedly turned his head to take a look.
It doesn't matter if you look at it, but the picture that catches your eye almost scared Ding Xiaofan to pee his pants. I saw that the simulated humanoid model that had been placed in the corner actually "walked" behind Ding Xiaofan at this time!
Not only that, but the originally closed eyes of the humanoid model also opened at this moment, and he stared at Ding Xiaofan who was frightened with bloodshot eyes.
"This is not a place for you to eat, let's go, let's go!" the humanoid model yelled at Ding Xiaofan hoarsely, and because of the relationship between speaking, the lip of the humanoid model was actually torn alive!
Looking at the humanoid model's mouth, which could directly see two rows of teeth and was constantly bleeding, Ding Xiaofan let out a girl-like scream, and was almost frightened and fainted. It turned out that the mannequin's mouth was sewn with cotton thread and would break as soon as she spoke.
At the same time, Ding Xiaofan was also horrified to find that this was not a humanoid model at all, but a real person who had been made into a specimen alive!
"Who are you!Go away!Don't come near me!" Waving his hands wildly, Ding Xiaofan tried to push away the woman who was gradually approaching him. But no matter how hard he tried to escape, the horrible woman who had been made into a taxidermimy would keep getting closer to him, and getting closer and closer.
"Sir, sir, what's wrong with you?" Hearing the waiter's voice in his ears, Ding Xiaofan slowly opened his eyes that were closed out of fear. I saw that the terrifying woman just now was gone, and everything returned to the way he was when he first entered the room.
"It turned out that I just had a nightmare, it really scared me to death!" Wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, Ding Xiaofan glanced at the corner where the humanoid model was placed. In the corner, a female mannequin is quietly leaning against the wall.
Sure that the terrifying scene he saw just now was his own dream, Ding Xiaofan patted his chest with confidence and asked, "Is the beef I ordered roasted?" All right. With that, the waiter smiled and opened the metal lid on the dining car that was used to cover the silver plates.
As the lid was opened, a strong smell of meat suddenly emanated. "It's so fragrant!" Smelling the smell of meat in the air, Ding Xiaofan couldn't wait to pick up the silver plate on the table and prepare a full meal.
"Wow!"
But when he saw the food on the plate, he broke out again with a high-decibel scream.
It turned out that there was no roast beef on the dinner plate, and what appeared in front of Ding Xiaofan's eyes was a half-baked left arm that looked like a young woman.
"What do you mean by that! If this is a prank, it's too much! I must complain about you!" After screaming, the frightened Ding Xiaofan pointed to the blood-stained arm on the plate and yelled at the waiter.
But the next second he regretted it, because the moment he looked up, the waiter standing in front of him was no longer the middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes who spoke politely just now.
Instead, he transformed into a terrifying demon dressed in a tattered black cloth robe, with gray scales and translucent tentacles ten centimeters long.
"Roar!" let out a beast-like roar, and the tentacle demon opened his bloody mouth, stretched out his barbed tongue and licked it on the sharp fangs, drooling and saying, "From the moment you came in, I smelled the smell of human flesh on you!"
Ding Xiaofan heard the meaning of the tentacle demon's words clearly, and he knew very well that the other party wanted to eat himself as dinner, just like his parents at that time.
"You, what are you going to do! I'm only going to have a fishy smell on my body after eating too many people recently, in fact, I'm also a demon!" barely kept his senses, trying not to faint because of fear, Ding Xiaofan said boldly.
He has lied a lot in his life, but this time is probably the most unconfident.
Hearing Ding Xiaofan's words, the tentacle demon tentatively said, "You are also a demon, why have I never seen you? Tell me, what kind of demon are you?"
Facing the questioning of the tentacle demon, Ding Xiaofan's heart couldn't help but beat wildly. Just when he was in the middle of a thousand moments, he suddenly thought of the nickname given to him by Xiaoli downstairs.
So, in order to survive, Ding Xiaofan shouted at the tentacle demon at the top of his throat, "Demon! I am the demon!" After living for twenty-three years, this is the first time he has shouted his most hated nickname, and it is still in such a public.
"What kind of pervert? Are you lying, there is no such kind among our demons!" Realizing that he had been deceived, the tentacle demon opened his bloody mouth full of fangs, as if his head had been torn in half, and bit Ding Xiaofan's neck frantically.
Only a "pop!" sound was heard, and under the bite of hundreds of fangs as sharp as daggers, a bloody corpse fell to the ground with a bang.
"Run, this is not the place for you to stay, run!" Turning her face beyond recognition, the female mannequin who blocked the bloody disaster for Ding Xiaofan at the last moment roared in a hoarse voice at the frightened Ding Xiaofan.
Hearing this, Ding Xiaofan came back to his senses, and took advantage of the opportunity of the tentacle demon to vent his anger on the humanoid model and ran towards the door of the barbecue restaurant.
But when he ran to the door, he was horrified to find that the door of the barbecue restaurant was locked for some time! "Help! Who will save me!" In desperation, Ding Xiaofan ignored his broken skin and bleeding hands, and desperately banged on the door of the barbecue restaurant with his fist.
"Roar!" Before Ding Xiaofan could slam the door open, a noisy roar resounded throughout the barbecue restaurant, and the guests who were still sitting on their seats and eating elegantly just now all turned into hideous faces, and their appearances were more than oozing demons.
Immediately afterward, the barbecue restaurant, which originally looked like a high-end restaurant, smelled of blood everywhere. In addition, the shop, which was quite clean just now, suddenly became bloodstained.
At the same time, there are countless hooks hanging from the ceiling, and each hook is hung with various human organs or hands and feet that have not dried up, and even half of the head remains!
After changing back to its original state, it is more appropriate to say that this is not so much a barbecue restaurant as a slaughterhouse specializing in selling human flesh! Seeing the change in this scene in front of him, he only felt his heart contract violently, and Ding Xiaofan fainted on the ground in front of his eyes.
However, just before he could lose consciousness completely, he heard a female voice repeating "Don't go home, don't trust anyone, it's dangerous!" but soon the words were swallowed up by the roars of the demons.
