Tick, tick, tick......

Beads of blood trickled down from the severed neck, rippling on the still warm blood on the ground. Countless strands of black hair spread and tore apart the man's body.

These broken pieces of flesh alone are not enough to identify the deceased.

However, looking deeper along the black hair, a figure stood quietly in the corner of the room. Her pale cheeks were bloodless, like a long-dead man.

There was a crackling sound in her body, and the bones pierced through the flesh and crystalline, burrowing out of the long, shiny black hair, forming a massive skeleton.

She opened her mouth, a low roar coming from her throat, and her eyes were not as fierce as human.

She is a "beast".

……

Rewind the clock to an hour ago.

Zhang Bing paced back and forth in the room, his gait disorganized and restless.

"Don't turn around, it's okay, if the beast really appears, we can still use tricks and tricks to escape," Han Yichen hugged his phone, his fingers constantly swiping back and forth on the screen.

The absence of a signal means that the phone is just a brick that can't help.

However, it can receive an MMS message that resembles a "death notice", constantly reminding them that the beast is close by.

The disappeared Tian Yixue seemed to have evaporated and never reappeared. What made Zhang Bing extremely uneasy was the absurd legends he heard when he couldn't help but go around the village before nightfall.

Just as in every city there are some strange stories about "schools are built on graveyards" and "there are no residents upstairs but there is always a bang", in order to prove the truth of this strange story, they even created some twists and turns and cruel stories.

The story Zhang Bing heard brought him a special feeling.

In the village, there used to be a pair of young girls who were childhood sweethearts. The teenager's family is wealthy and has many properties; The girl's family was poor and rented a house with the boy's family. Because he couldn't court, the boy did something hurtful, which led to the girl's death.

Sudden changes, the teenager's home is in chaos, and relatives use weapons in quarrels, causing tragedy. The boys fled the village and disappeared, except for the old men who were left to hide in the mountains, and no one saw them again.

The spirit of the girl would also come to the village in search of her original family, disguised as a villager and occasionally as an outsider. However, the original house had already been burned down by fire, and even if it could be found, it would be a wreck buried deep under the rubble.

Zhang Bing thought about this bizarre story, only felt that they were very far away from him, as if they were legends of the era, and after hearing them, there was only a sigh left.

But when the man named Zhou Xueqiu left abruptly, this story seemed to have some credibility.

After nightfall, Zhang Bing panicked and secretly returned to the ruins he had visited during the day. The light of the flashlight flickered, and all he saw was a scorched black earth, with a hint of burnt smell in the quiet air, and a non-existent cry for help echoed in his ears.

Zhang Bing shook his head, burying those terrifying associations of strange talk in his heart. He put the flashlight aside, scraped the rubble with his hands, and finally, found something that he didn't know if it was symbolic.

He brought back two charred bones, as well as some rubble fragments, one for himself and the other for Han Yichen's life.

These things are more useful in this task than tricks.

"Why did you bring these things back?" Han Yichen saw Zhang Bing's solemn appearance, and glanced at the bones on the table with some disgust.

Although she became the Chosen One, she was not accustomed to dealing with human stumps. Although many people feel that the world is nothing more than a stack of data, humans are something that can be refreshed at any time. They are truly detached from the body of data, and are called the Chosen One...... But there are always some people like Han Yichen who can't get used to their new identity.

Some will sink in the killing, others will find themselves in a paradoxical dilemma. However, no one can live very long.

Zhang Bing knew this truth, and he hoped that Han Yichen would also understand. He didn't speak, just prayed silently, looking forward to seeing another tomorrow.

Han Yichen said this, but there were some doubts in his heart: "These bones ...... Could it be that the ...... in that story you are talking about"

"Yes," Zhang Bing smiled sadly, not expecting that he would end up pinning his hopes on these things, "If that 'beast' is really transformed from that girl's soul, then she will definitely not hurt the bones of her relatives, and we hold these things, which can be regarded as a life talisman......"

"But aren't we going to contain it?" Han Yichen found the contradiction of the problem, "If we don't have the ability to contain it, this task will drag on, and we will ......"

"I don't know," Zhang Bing shook his head, "leave it to fate." ”

"That," Han Yichen bit his lip, remembering Li Dong and Li Xue who hid in the room for a while and didn't appear, "Shall we give them some ...... these things?"

"Don't." Zhang Bing replied decisively, obviously having already thought about this question, "What have they been doing in the house during the day......"

Han Yichen's face turned red, she remembered that the sound insulation in this room was not very good, Li Dong and Li Xue returned to the room and did not appear again for a whole day. During this period, Li Dong's moaning sound, with some indescribable charm, penetrated into Han Yichen's ears, making her heart itch.

She touched the charred black bones on the table, and her voice unconsciously carried some charm: "Zhang Bing......"

Her eyes were silky, and she called his name softly.

……

Seeing the confused Li Dong constantly twisting his body, Li Xue's gaze did not fluctuate.

Without those weird disguises, "Li Xue" stood in the dark, as if she was perfectly integrated into it. Her hair continued to grow, becoming something stronger than a chain, her pupils were as thin as snake pupils, and she exuded a cold aura like a cold-blooded beast.

The man in front of him let out a series of moans of relief, sometimes frowning and sometimes relaxing, completely immersed in his own fantasies.

"Li Xue" didn't move, she stood in the corner of the room sluggishly, her hair moving, burrowing into Li Dong's pocket, and easily taking out what she wanted.

A mobile phone.

The screen of the phone suddenly lit up, the light in the darkness was dazzling, and a round head came out of the screen and flew staggering into her hand.

She lifted the head and smiled contentedly.
