"Brother?"

The hallway was pitch black, and there was a clanging sound in the darkness.

"Brother?"

Jingling sounds.

"Brother? Brother, where are you? The girl rubbed her eyes, her pale blonde hair fell down, she was wearing a milky white nightdress, and two slender feet and necks were exposed under the skirt, and the girl was barefoot, leaning against the wall and stepping up the stairs step by step.

There was no light in the hallway, and the girl tried to fumble with the light switch, but she could only touch the wall on tiptoe and could not find the switch.

What about switches?

She remembered that the switch was clearly here.

The girl suddenly remembered that she could usually touch the switch because her brother was holding her, and the brother was tall, so he could get to the switch when he picked himself up...... Now my brother isn't here, so she's not tall enough to reach the switch on the wall.

"Ding-bell...... Ding-bell ......"

There was another clanging sound from deep down the hallway, sounding like metal colliding with each other...... What is this sound?

The girl turned her head to look into the deep hallway, the cold wind blowing from the depths of the darkness, she tried to keep her eyes open wide, and followed the sound to look over, but she could see nothing.

"Brother? Is it my brother there? ”

The girl asked softly, but no one answered, and the crisp jingle sound still came from the cold wind.

The girl became frightened, she clung to the wall, her hands clutching the hem of her nightdress, not daring to move again.

The adults said that there would be man-eating demons at night, and that anyone who dared to get up and wander around after the lights went out would be caught and eaten by these goblins, who liked to eat children, because the flesh of the children was the most delicate, and the girl was convinced of this, because the child next door to her had not been seen again after a certain night, and she thought that he must have been taken by the man-eating ghosts.

But my brother didn't believe this, he said that ghosts are lies made up by adults to scare children, and there are no gods and ghosts in the world, and they must have made up such lies to scare themselves because there is some ulterior secret.

Sometimes, in the middle of the night, the girl could hear the clanging sound outside the door, and the girl thought it was the chain used by the evil spirits to catch people, and the chains dragged on the floor with a screeching sound, and she always pulled the quilt over her head, hiding in the bed and shivering.

At this time, my brother held her tightly in his arms, stroked her hair, and comforted her softly, "Little Anfia, don't be afraid, my brother is here." ”

Usually the girl would never dare to get up and go out alone in the middle of the night, she is a very timid person, whether it is a ghost or a secret, she does not dare to approach...... But tonight she woke up and wanted to go to the bathroom, and suddenly found that her brother was gone.

The brother's bed was empty, the bedding was open, there was no temperature, apparently the person who slept in it had been gone for a long time, and the girl immediately panicked.

The elder brother was captured by a man-eating demon.

So she chased after her brother and wanted to get her brother back.

She didn't have a weapon on her, and she didn't know what the demon looked like, or even where her brother was...... But she couldn't let her brother be taken away.

Her brother is her only relative in this world, and if her brother is gone, she can't live alone.

"Brother? Brother, are you there? ”

The girl whispered, she was so scared that she was about to cry, but there was still no one in the hallway to answer her, the clanging sound echoed in the darkness, and she stepped back step by step, accidentally stepping on the hem of her skirt, losing her balance, and sitting down on the floor.

The wrestling movement was loud, and the sound traveled all the way down the corridor, and the clanging metal crashing in the distance immediately stopped.

The girl was on the ground with both hands, and her buttocks hurt a lot.

She slowly got up and raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.

The girl was stunned suddenly, she felt that her face was sticky.

She looked down at her hand and brought it close to her eyes, so frightened that she forgot to breathe...... Her hands were stained with a viscous scarlet liquid that smelled heavy.

Blood...... It's blood.

Why is there blood on my hands?

The girl subconsciously bowed her head, and she knelt on the ground, and saw her feet clearly with the only glimmer of light...... Beneath her feet was a terrazzo floor with a smooth floor, and the corridor was usually bright enough to illuminate people, like a large mirror.

But tonight the girl couldn't see her face clearly, because the large mirror was densely covered with blood-stained handprints.

The girl couldn't count how many handprints there were, and the handprints stretched from under her feet into the darkness ahead, and it looked like a bloody man had crawled over the floor, his hands pressed on the floor, leaving bloody marks, and it hadn't been long since the man had crawled over, because the blood had not yet dried.

The tinkling sound in the darkness in the distance rang out again.

The girl raised her hand to cover her mouth to keep herself from screaming, tears welling up in her eyes.

This...... Who left this behind?

Is it my brother?

The girl got up, followed the bloody handprints, and gradually approached the source of the sound, and she didn't know where she had such courage...... Maybe it's because her brother is gone, and she has the idea of dying in her heart?

The clanging sound grew louder and louder, and the girl staggered down the hallway against the wall.

Then she heard the sound of biting and heavy wheezing, as if some wild beast was tearing at cloth and flesh in the darkness, and the girl stopped behind the corner and poked her head out quietly.

Behind the corner is a flashing emergency light.

In the dim light, there is the bloody Shura Hell...... The girl didn't know how many people had died, she couldn't count, because there wasn't a single intact corpse here, the severed limbs and internal organs were piled up and scattered on the floor, and it was hard for the girl to imagine that a person's body could be shattered to such an extent, it was as if it had been blown open, everything was soaked in a pool of blood, and the viscous plasma hung on the walls, slowly flowing down, and steaming.

A small figure knelt in a pool of blood, with chains around his neck, hands and feet, clanging, and he lowered his head like a mad dog to tear at the corpse on the ground, tearing the muscles and skin with his hands, poking his head into the abdomen of the corpse and chewing the internal organs.

Devil...... This is the man-eating demon!

The girl trembled and stepped back, unable to hold back any longer, and threw up all her supper at once, vomiting pantothenic acid in her stomach.

The figure that tore at the corpse was stunned, stopped moving, and slowly turned its head, holding a severed hand in its mouth.

The girl stumbled to and fro and ran away, crying loudly.

The demon crawled slowly and peeked out from behind the corner a flesh-stained face, and he watched the girl's back disappear into the darkness, grinning silently, revealing a mouth full of neat teeth.
