Volume 3 Midnight Terror Chapter 1, Demon Dream
The whole city was immersed in the endless rain curtain, and the gray sky was occasionally swept by lightning, and occasionally one or two muffled thunders sounded, and the night was already deep.
The bank building in the center of the city is still brightly lit, and the hour hand is already pointing to 9 o'clock. The employees in the office are still busy. In an inconspicuous corner, a young man seemed to be sleeping soundly on his desk, which was littered with papers and books.
"Bai Ziye", a roar exploded like thunder outside the window, and Bai Ziye, who was sleeping in a daze on the desk, jumped up violently. "Huh"? Who called me?
Wearing a suit that was about to burst, Manager Zhang, who was wearing a sideways face and a red face like he was about to burn, stood in front of Bai Ziye like a mountain.
He saw that the manager, who was usually not very satisfied with himself, was looking at him fiercely, and he knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly said: I was too tired just now, I just dozed off, and I won't be in the future.
Manager Zhang's small eyes buried deep in the cracks looked at him coldly, and said in a gloomy voice: You won't have a chance to doze off again, I just notified the company's finance, from this moment on, you are no longer a member of the company, if you are not satisfied, you can complain to the trade union.
Ignoring Bai Ziye, who had become gray, he turned around and walked back to his office, turned his head after three or four steps, and said with a smile: "I forgot to tell you that the union just fired you three days ago, because you haven't paid your dues for two months." ”
The other colleagues didn't look over, they couldn't bear to look at Bai Ziye's embarrassment.
Only Manager Zhang's henchman, Xiao Wang, who is usually already a dog, still made a gloating expression at Bai Ziye.
Looking at Manager Zhang's chubby back, and then looking around, the soft sighs and sympathetic eyes of his colleagues couldn't help but make Bai Ziye angry from his heart, and shouted: Stand for me.
Manager Zhang was not in a hurry, transferred the fat body, crossed his hands to protect his chest, and said fearlessly: "I just called the guards, and they will hold a farewell party for you without drinks, food and guests."
Before the words stopped, footsteps sounded at the entrance of the department, and four guards rushed in with murderous energy, Manager Zhang laughed and said: "Mr. Bai, please come to the accounting department, they have already prepared a big envelope, hum." After saying that, he went back to his room.
Bai Zi Ye Halberd pointed and shouted: There is no one here, there is a place to keep people.
At this time, a guard came up and patted him on the shoulder, and said politely and forcefully: Mr. Bai, please pack up your personal belongings.
In front of everyone's eyes, Bai Ziye was ashamed and angry, he didn't even bother to pack his things, and walked out of the door as soon as he turned around.
"Bai Ziye" A coquettish voice sounded, and as soon as he heard it, he knew that it was the voice of Miss Ru, who usually sat opposite him and had a good impression of him, Bai Ziye's heart was moved, but the man's self-esteem made him harden his heart, and he slammed the door without looking back.
The moment the door closed, Bai Ziye knew that he was really unemployed, this job was not easy to come by, but he lost it like this, alas, what's the use of thinking about it now, it's better to go home and sleep first.
Walking out of the bank gate, the rain is getting heavier and heavier, even the street lamps on the street look so confused, the cold street in the rain is completely devoid of the hustle and bustle of the day, except for the dim street lamps and the buildings that look mysterious and strange under the rainy night.
Damn, why don't you even have a taxi, Bai Ziye touched a few changes on his body, alas, he just walked home, thinking of this, he plunged into the rain.
The rain kept falling on his head, and the rain on his face and along his hairline made him feel extremely cold.
A gust of night wind and cold rain came to his face, Bai Ziye shivered violently, it's really cold today, why is it always like this when you're frustrated, it's miserable, haha. He smiled self-deprecatingly, and hastened his pace towards home.
The "squeak" door opened. Bai Ziye shook his wet hair at the door first, and sat down on the sofa after entering the door. I remembered that when I entered the apartment just now, the old man who guarded the door saw him like a chicken in soup and thought that he had been robbed, so he asked him again and again, which made him laugh, and only came in after some explanation.
This apartment is located in a small corner of the city, the apartment is not big, only two floors.
It is specially suitable for bachelors like him to live, the price is cheap, and it is close to the company. It's just too small.
Damn, what's wrong with me, why are you so unlucky, thinking of what happened just now, Bai Ziye was angry, he poured himself a glass of beer, and muttered while drinking, then the damn manager will dismiss me, so why humiliate me in public...... Scolding, scolding, the more the voice became more and more indistinct, and gradually, he fell asleep.
"White Night~~~~~ White Night~~~~~ "Hey, who else is calling me so late, he wanted to stand up in a daze, but his body didn't seem to be able to get up. He could only try to open his eyes, what kind of place was this?
When he looked at it, he found himself standing in an extremely wide square, and it was very dark and foggy.
The whole square was shrouded in a fog, he seemed to vaguely see a big thing in front of him, but he couldn't see clearly, he was in a trance, suddenly, the mysterious voice sounded again: Bai Ziye, come over~~~. Bai Ziye's mist at the end of the night, at this moment, the fog in front of him gradually subsided, but the sky was darker, he found that he seemed to be able to walk, but it was himself walking, as if a force that did not belong to him pushed his legs forward, getting closer and closer to the huge thing.
See clearly!! See clearly! When Bai Ziye saw it, he was so shocked that it was a huge —————— stone coffin!!
He was so frightened that he turned around and wanted to run away, but his body didn't listen to the command at all, and his legs were still approaching him step by step, and he wanted to scream in shock, but he couldn't shout a sound. Slowly, he was less than 1 meter away from the lifeless coffin. At this moment, he felt as if his legs had stopped unconsciously, stopped! When he was less than 1 meter away from the coffin, his legs could finally stop, shh~~~~, fortunately he involuntarily gasped, and his beating heart seemed to be slowly returning to normal.
Suddenly!! A bolt of lightning pierced the darkness, as if it came from an infinite distance of eternity, breaking the wind, shattering the night and splitting the sky, splitting the head, and hitting the sarcophagus impartially!!
"Boom" the rubble burst out, and the sarcophagus was shattered in an instant! The gravel shot out in all directions, and Bai Ziye, who was close at hand, was completely frightened, and even forgot to dodge the rushing stones, seeing that the gravel had arrived in front of him, he couldn't help shouting: It's over.
"Ahh
"It turned out to be a dream, it's terrible," he patted his chest, picked up the leftover beer and poured it down, gasping for air.
The rain was still falling outside the window, as if there was nothing between heaven and earth except for the rain curtain, and he looked up at the clock hanging on the wall, and the hour hand told him that it was already 1 o'clock in the evening.
Woo~~~ , a gust of wind blew, clang, because the window was not closed tightly, it was violently touched. Bai Ziye hurriedly walked over, wanting to close the window tightly. Another gust of wind blew the rickety window open again, and the rain blew from the window at once, spilling the rain on Bai Ziye's face. Bang, he slammed the window shut.
What the hell is the weather! As soon as the word "ghost" was mentioned, Bai Ziye couldn't help but think of the dream just now, and couldn't help but shudder.
"Shhhh
He emboldened himself and hummed a song that had been popular recently.
By the way, wipe your face and go to sleep, he walked into the bathroom and turned on the light.
"Hey, what's foggy, who just used it. Probably the landlord came."
Bai Ziye walked to the mirror, first rubbed his face vigorously with his hands, and looked into the mirror.
"Ah~~~ "The screams suddenly pierced this silent apartment, the silent city, and this silent rainy night; He was shocked to see that his face was covered in blood in the mirror!
How so? How so!
Bai Ziye was shocked, and at this time he only thought in his mind: There is really a ghost, run away!!
One turned around, slammed open the bathroom door like crazy, rushed to the door without any pause, grabbed the doorknob, and twisted it vigorously: "pop" the handle actually fell off.
He didn't have time to think about it, so he hit it with his whole body, "bang, bang, bang" several times in a row. The door, still standing still. Bai Ziye gasped and looked at the usually vulnerable wooden door in surprise. Involuntarily took a few steps back.
Then he suddenly saw that the door was alive! The dark brown wooden door seemed to be smiling at him, incomparably eerie and incomparably viciously mocking. No, it can't be!
Bai Ziye wiped his eyes vigorously and looked at the door again, the door was still the same door, so silent and lifeless.
"Squeak~~Squeak" An extremely difficult and unpleasant voice came from behind him, and he felt that the nerves in his whole body seemed to tighten in an instant, and slowly, extremely hard and stiff, he turned his head. So much so that the neck bone emitted: gurgling.
Rain!! , the rain is hitting the window! However, the rain turned out to be blood-colored, dark red, as if it was sticking to the window like a life, constantly flowing, and as the rain continued to increase, the blood-like rain seemed to become heavier and thicker. It's like a demon, constantly changing, about to crush the thin window desperately to enter!
The thin glass seemed to be unable to withstand the weight, and let out a moan of "squeak~~squeak" like a dying man.
Bai Ziye was stiff, his heart kept beating wildly, like a hungry ghost who kept beating his heart with a sledgehammer "Knock~ Knock~ Knock~ Knock~ Knock" The heartbeat is getting faster and faster, breathing is becoming more and more difficult, and the brain has gradually lost consciousness: "Squeak ~ Squeak ~ Squeak ~ Squeak" There are more and more cracks on the glass, which are getting longer and longer, like an evil spider painting; Suddenly, he felt that life was rapidly leaving him, no, he must not die!! Bai Ziye gathered the last remaining consciousness and strength, and shouted: No~~~~~~~~!!!
The incomparable sound is like a tangible substance, rolling and scattering, and nothing can come out.
The rain of blood outside the window was shattered in an instant, and the sunken window miraculously returned to leveling, as if nothing had happened.
Bai Ziye slowly straightened up, exhaled softly, and looked around. The calm remains.
Was it another nightmare? It can't be, what happened just now is so real, and there is still a little pain in the shoulder because of the hard banging on the door. Looking at it again, the doorknob that fell to the ground proves this even more.
Thinking of this, Bai Ziye touched his face with his hand, and then slowly put his hand in front of him. Water, not blood. It's the rainwater that blew in when the window was closed. What the hell is going on. Is it that I am too tired to hallucinate.
Inadvertently, he saw something on the ground, as if he had just passed such a terrible thing, but he was still surprised, on the ground, at some point, there was a very small and delicate coffin. But Bai Ziye knew at a glance that this was the coffin he had seen in his dream, but it had shrunk several times.
Bai Ziye took a deep breath and slowly approached it. Look at this little coffin. He hesitated for a moment, and then, as if he had made an important decision, he bent down and checked it out.
It is a very realistically made sarcophagus, which still glows silver in the light. It was light in his hand, and it didn't look like it was made of stone.
Odd. Bai Ziye put it on the coffee table and looked at it carefully. Looking at it, he didn't find anything more amazing, and then he thought why not open it and take a look.
Thinking of this, Bai Ziye took a deep breath and opened the lid of the coffin.
The lid of the coffin was opened, and there were no striking changes. Just at the bottom of the coffin, lying quietly a strange symbol. Bai Ziye looked left and right, and couldn't see anything unusual, so he had to put it back on a few.
The rain seems to have stopped at this point. It's just that the wind keeps blowing. Bai Ziye lowered his head and thought for a while, then stood up, picked up the doorknob on the ground and reinstalled it on the door, and twisted the door open. Outside the door is a dark and secluded hallway. Only one light flickered on and off, and at the end of the hallway was the bend of the staircase, from where the gate went down.
Anyway, I can't sleep now, so I might as well go to the door to smoke a cigarette and chat with the old man in the porter by the way.
Thinking about it, Bai Ziye closed the door with his backhand and followed the corridor to the staircase. Looking down, the light in the porter was still on, "This old man, why don't you sleep so late?" He came to the entrance of the gatehouse, and looked in through the small window of the register, and the old man seemed to be asleep on the table.
"Hey, old man Wang." Bai Ziye shouted softly, in fact, he didn't want to wake up the old man so late, but he was a little lonely and a little scared, so he decided that it was worth it even if he was scolded a few times.
"Why are you still asleep?" He saw that the old man had not yet reacted, and not only raised his voice, but at this moment, with a grunt as if he had kicked something, he looked down, because the light was too dim to see clearly. So he took out a lighter, and the surroundings suddenly became brighter.
With a lighter in his hand, he slowly bent down to shine on the object. In the light of the fire, the thing on the ground was a human hand, white, withered, and alone.
Yes~~. Bai Ziye was frightened, he couldn't care about the dead of night, slammed the door of the gatehouse, and shouted, the old man come out quickly, hands, hands~~'" While shouting, he pulled the door with all his life's strength. Unexpectedly, as soon as he pulled the door, there was a clang, and he fell, and he rushed to the old man who was lying down and stretched out his hand to pull him up. Unexpectedly, the old man fell into Bai Ziye's arms with this pull, and his whole head leaned back weakly, and his face happened to appear in the light. Bai Ziye looked at it through the light of the porter, and let out a scream that did not look like it was made by a human, this was an extremely terrifying scene, half of the old man's face seemed to be torn off by the sharp grasp of the black bear, and his eyes also fell out, and the half of his face was already bloody and blurred, as if it had been chewed up.
Bai Ziye retreated again and again, and rushed out of the doorway upside down. While shouting wildly, he wanted to open the gate to escape, but at first glance, he felt as if he had fallen into an abyss. What about the door? Where did the door go? The door was gone. The place where it was supposed to be a door turned into a brick wall!
He felt his entire body shrink in extremities of extreme fear. He shuddered and shivered. There was a strong smell coming from the nose. The bloody smell turned out to be so thick, I wonder why I didn't smell it just now.
The darkness around him was full of evil, but the lone lamp in the gatehouse seemed to illuminate the face of the devil who lived in the darkness, constantly jumping, and the horror was like the coldest ice water, slowly spreading from the soles of his feet to his brain, and he suddenly realized clearly that tonight, in this strange place. There is no hope of escaping, and if you want to survive, you have to be calm.
He took a long breath against the brick wall, then quickly turned around and leaned his back against the wall. Facing the stairs from which they came.
"Bai Ziye, Bai Ziye, if you want to survive tonight, you have to see yourself, calm down, you must be calm"
He kept cheering himself up, his hands involuntarily clenched into fists, and the extreme panic just now seemed to ease a little, and he stood up straight and stabilized his mood slightly.
It's better to go and see other tenants first, and take care of them when it's dangerous. He decided to go upstairs first. Look at the severed hand on the ground and the old man's body at the top of the stairs because he pulled it down. He took a few deep breaths. And then very slowly, very slowly, closer. When he moved closest to the corpse, he shouted violently, and with this sound of courage he jumped over the corpse and went straight up the stairs. Then he ran up the stairs as fast as he could.
The apartment has only two floors, and on the first floor there is only a concierge and a few reception chairs. On the second floor, there are 5 rooms with 3 tenants, and in addition to Shirakoya, there are 2 university students.
He returned to the corridor, the lights still flickering like ghostly fire, and the doors were closed. He walked quickly to a door and knocked hard.
"Xiao Zhang, Xiao Zhang, are you there?" Bai Ziye shouted vigorously, and his voice echoed in this dark and silent corridor. Even after shouting several times, no one answered. He felt nervous and uneasy for a while, and hurriedly walked to the opposite door, which was at the bottom left of the wall lamp. The whole door looked ghostly in the dim light, and the dark brown color on the door was so deep in the light that it was like an entrance to hell.
Bai Ziye looked at the door, and for no reason he felt that his body was getting colder and colder, and he was even afraid that after knocking on the door, a corpse would fall behind the door. Kobayashi ~~~~, the voice is like a dying man moaning. He was startled by his voice. The door was quiet, and no one from Kobayashi answered the door. There weren't any hungry ghosts who suddenly broke down the door.
With a squeak, the sound was extraordinarily harsh in this strange and bloody night, grabbing people's hearts. It was from Xiao Zhang's door, that is, from behind Bai Ziye. Bai Ziye shouted and turned around, only to see the door quietly sliding inside, but it seemed to be held by something, and only opened a small gap and did not move. He shouted in the loudest voice: Xiao Zhang, is it you? "I shouted for a long time and didn't move.
He emboldened himself and walked slowly to the door, stretched out his hand, and gently pushed the door in.
After pushing it, the door didn't move, and Bai Ziye pushed it harder, and the bottom of the door seemed to be stuck to something, and it was slowly and difficult to push it open. Bai Ziye glanced in through the faint light, and there seemed to be no one inside. I couldn't help but walk towards the room, and when I stepped into the floor of the room, my feet slipped low, and the person suddenly lost his balance, fell backwards, and fell down. Bai Ziye casually propped up under the floor and tried to stand up, but his hand touched the ground, but a slippery, slime-like object stuck to his hand. He leaned his hand closer and looked, blood!! The hands were full of blood, and it seemed to be mixed with white slurry. He screamed in fright and rolled backwards and pushed out of the door. Who knew that he didn't even have time to breathe, after a loud sound of "ping-pong" was transmitted to him, Bai Ziye suddenly felt a strong wind hitting his body, and he didn't care about the plasma on the ground, so he hurriedly rolled to the side.
Suddenly, he looked back and saw that it was Xiao Lin's door that seemed to be blown away by something and fell to the place where he was sitting just now. Eyes swept over there again, but if you don't look, you can be shocked. Xiao Lin stood stiffly at the door, his eyes were blue, and the white shirt on his body had been torn into pieces, and it was stained with dark red blood. There was a human head in his hand, and there was still a little bit of flesh and blood dripping from the neck of the human head. A gust of wind blew, and the head slowly turned around, and it was Xiao Zhang!!
The dim light shines on the head, but it glows a miserable white.
Xiao Lin made a strange sound that seemed to be laughing, and his mouth seemed to be chewing something.
Bai Ziye almost trembled and stood up with difficulty against the wall behind him. At this moment, Xiao Lin began to walk stiffly and slowly step by step like him, staring directly at him with a strange blue gaze. Bai Ziye screamed in his heart: Help. The hand began to move slowly along the wall to the side. At this time, he didn't notice that behind him, an inhuman black figure was silently approaching from behind him.
In the dark corridor, dead silence, Xiao Lin is slowly approaching Bai Ziye. Bai Ziye looked at Xiao Lin, and suddenly turned around and wanted to run, but as soon as he turned around, he shouted, and a person hugged him with his hand from behind. No, it's not human. When he looked closely, it was a headless corpse. Ah~~~~ Bai Ziye screamed, and he didn't know where he got the strength, so he pushed forward with both hands and pushed the corpse away. Then he went crazy and fled back to his room. Then push the door shut.
The chill came up one by one, but cold sweat kept flowing down his head. Bai Ziye pressed a chair against the door. Then he watched in a daze, waiting for the zombies outside the door to slam on the door. After waiting for a while, it was silent, but he felt that the silence was full of strange grips. The heart is like a full bow, ready to burst at any moment at the sudden startle of a voice. Suddenly, it occurred to him that he might as well escape from the window.
Hurriedly went to the window, ready to open it with force, and then climbed out of the pane. When the window was opened, there was a bang, and the door had been slammed open. He turned around in shock and found that Xiao Lin, whose eyes were glowing red, stood outside the door at the same time, and there were two people standing behind him. To be exact, it was just two incomplete people, the headless one must be Xiao Zhang, who had been brutally murdered, and the other one only had half of his face. When he looked closely, it turned out to be the old man in the porter! The remaining one eye was staring at him fiercely.
Bai Ziye was so frightened that he completely lost control, screaming non-stop, and retreating half frantically. And three half-human, half-corpses were pressing towards him without hesitation. He stumbled, fell to the wall, and hurriedly put his hand behind him, but it was as if he had been cut by something. He looked back in his hurry and saw that he had retreated to the kitchen door, his hands propped up on the knife rack where the knife was hung. It has been cut out of blood. Seeing that the zombies were getting closer and closer to him, he casually picked up a kitchen knife, roared wildly, and killed people with knives.
The blood kept splashing, and the knife light kept flickering up and down, as if this small room had become a hell of a nose, a slaughterhouse on earth. He slashed and slashed, and he didn't know how many he had chopped. When he stopped from exhaustion, he found that Xiao Lin and the three of them had been completely cut into a bloody blur. On the ground, on the walls, there was minced flesh and blood all over the place. Hahahaha, I finally hacked the demon to death. He laughed maniacally, holding up his bright, bloody kitchen knife. The whole person has fallen into a semi-crazy state.
At this moment, there were suddenly several bright lights shining in his eyes, accompanied by a lot of noisy, faint sounds. For a moment, he couldn't see anything clearly. He covered the light with one hand and slashed the knife indiscriminately in front of him with the other. He shouted hoarsely: Demon, come, I will hack you to death!! 1 And it was as if he heard the humming sound in his ears, which grew louder and louder, but which became more and more indistinct. The light, the sound made him in a trance, and he didn't know what to do. Kill out, you must kill out. It's all hallucinations, all hallucinations caused by ghosts! He let out a loud shout, swung his knife wildly, and rushed towards the place where the beam was brightest and the most numerous.
In an instant, he vaguely heard a voice that suddenly became clear and loud: shooting. Then, bang, bang, bang, a great momentum knocked him up and knocked him away. Oddly enough, he didn't feel the pain. In a daze, he seemed to be back in the familiar office, and the sweet girl Xiaoru sitting opposite him was so clear. Just a moment later, he felt like he had been plunged into endless darkness.
The morning sun is quietly and gently sprinkled down. A few birds on the telephone pole chirped softly, reminding the girl who was lying in bed that it was time to get up.
"Well, it's annoying!" The girl rubbed her sleepy eyes, picked up the remote control next to the bed, and turned on the TV. "Big news report: There was a huge homicide in the city last night. A young man is suspected to be having a psychotic episode. He hacked to death two college students living in the same apartment with a kitchen knife in the kitchen, and chased him to the first floor and stabbed the old man who was guarding the door dozens of times to death. The police received a report from nearby residents and rushed to the scene, where the man was still crazy. In self-defense, the police opened fire and killed the man on the spot.
"Wow, that's scary," the girl tried to turn around, but the next sound left her dumbfounded.
The announcer's voice continued: Later, the police room searched the man's residence and found that his name was Bai Ziye, a resident of the city. As for how you can go crazy and slash people, you need to investigate further"
Smack, the remote control fell to the ground. No, that's not true. The girl burst into tears and wept bitterly. It turns out that this girl is Xiaoru, who has always had a crush on Bai Ziye.
A few months later.
Because the murderer has already been killed, and the investigation after the fact, it is likely that it is due to unemployment. So the police closed the case. No further pursuit will be pursued.
And this small apartment is gradually deserted because of such a terrible thing that no one dares to live in it anymore.
There is only one thing that is very strange, when the police searched the house, they found a small coffin made of stone, which was put away as evidence. Later, it was just a very ordinary handicraft, so it was put in the warehouse. But within a few days, it mysteriously disappeared. Due to the negligence of the police, no one ever mentioned the matter again.
Is it a cult? Is it the real reason why Bai Ziya went crazy and killed people? No one will know anymore......
