She wasn't completely asleep. In the current situation, she could not help but be alert and vigilant at all times.

It's the right thing to do. Her ears had just picked up a subtle sound, one that was very close to her, certainly within a few meters - and it immediately put her on high alert.

Is it coming? Has the killer finally found me? Her heart was pounding, and her hairs stood on end. She gently put down her boyfriend's corpse, groped for a sharp knife that had been prepared for self-defense at her feet, and slowly stood up.

She slowly approached the place where the sound was made, the hand holding the knife oozing sweat from the tension, making the handle slippery and unsteady - but she had to hold it steadily, and what she held in her hand was her own life.

"Cluck, cluck, cluck, cluck......"

What kind of weird sound is this? She nervously judged—like a rat gnawing at something in the dark, but too regular. Is it the sound of human footsteps? It doesn't seem like ...... either.

Now, she was separated from the sound by a row of shelves, and she could accurately perceive that the sound was coming from across the shelves.

She swallowed, clutched the knife in her hand, lifted it up, and plucked up the courage to jump across the shelf.

No one. She froze for a moment, then looked down and found the source of the sound—it was a supermarket gadget, the kind of bear toy that would walk forward when the clockwork on its back was twisted. It was blocked by the shelves, but it was still walking mechanically forward, so it made a "cluck, clatter" sound after colliding with the shelves.

She stared blankly at the little thing, wondering who was fiddling with this clockwork toy in the middle of the night? And, in the midst of this predicament, who has the heart to play with this thing?

At this moment, the teddy bear stopped with a "click", and the return force of the clockwork was exhausted. At this moment, she suddenly realized something, quickly turned around, and saw a person standing behind her! Her brain exploded, and she was terrified, and exclaimed, "Ah, it was your ......"

Before she could scream, she was covered by the man, and her voice was blocked in her mouth. At the same time, a sharp fruit knife was inserted in his chest. Her eyes were bloodshot in a flash of horror, and in a moment her body slowly collapsed and slipped into a pool of blood, almost exactly like her boyfriend a few meters away.
