Chapter 1: The Nightmare Begins
On this night, a full moon hung in the cloudless night sky, and there was a hint of unpleasant heat in the air. On such a late summer night, Du Jing was speeding down the dark winding path of the street on a mountain bike. Although it was not yet late at night, not a single pedestrian could be seen in the silent streets, and it was clear that the curfew that covered the entire city had not yet been lifted.
In the news, it is stated that until the unknown murderer is arrested and put in prison, everyone should stay at home as much as possible after the sun goes down and do not go out. While the ban brought some tension, overall, it gave everyone in the city a peaceful and quiet summer night.
At least, that's the case for now, and everyone is abiding by it.
But in fact, after getting rid of the hustle and bustle of the day, the city has become more lively, and it has not really returned to tranquility, as always, what to do, but everyone is a little faster. The Fengyue place is still windy and snowy, and the door signs hanging high still shine with red, red, green and green colors, and when passing through these places, Du Jing's ears can also hear those sultry shouts from time to time, as well as the intermittent barking of dogs in the distance.
Of course, most of the residents of Tokyo still locked their doors and stayed at home all day in fear, praying that the police would catch the criminals and restore peace to the city.
If those people knew the truth of the matter....
Suddenly, Du Jing felt that he was a little envious of those ordinary people who knew nothing. They don't know anything, they don't need to figure it out, as soon as the good news is announced, the prisoners are caught, the curfew can end, and they will go back to the way they were. But Du Jing won't, so he won't be deceived by the official rhetoric. From his point of view, the recent events were completely different from the official announcement to the public, which made him very helpless and angry, because no one would believe that the end of the world would come.... Thinking of this, the negative emotions in his heart became more and more serious.
Two weeks ago, there was a serial murder case in Tokyo!
According to the forensic report, some of the organs of the deceased had been eaten, and judging from the tooth marks, it was a human being.
In the immediate aftermath of the incident, the top chief of the Tokyo Police Department issued a brief statement, saying that the police department is making every effort to arrest the deranged criminal, and on the issue of how to completely protect the safety of the citizens at the moment, he said that he is discussing and negotiating, and also reminded the citizens to pay attention to safety when traveling and avoid going to some sparsely populated places.
However, this did not work, the bloodshed and riots continued, and new victims continued to appear, and there are currently more than ten people known....
The police department could not do anything about this nightmarish horror, but the good news came back after all, and something similar happened to 'American Dad', who claimed that it was caused by infectious rabies, and the best way to do it was to curfew.... In short, whatever the American dad says, we will do it, and the official directly declares a curfew.
But this is Tokyo, and the effect can be imagined.
For this reason, the bloodshed and the killing are repeated and continued. And whenever the survivors who broke free from the hands of death want to reveal that they are not people, but demons, the discussion from the official and media will be like a solid brick wall in front of these people, and even the media will slander and slander those people in order to obtain sales.... Du Jing knew the methods of those people, it was the official intervention, the purpose was to prevent the spread of panic.
In fact, this has some effect. But Du Jing wants to say that it is better to block than to be sparse, and it is better to be sparse than to be sparse, and everyone is open and honest, and it may have a miraculous effect. Of course, this is only his personal opinion, and the officials must have their considerations, but as a common person, what he needs to consider is how to survive in the possible turmoil and apocalypse.
Speaking of survival..... Well, there it is.
It was a Tang knife made of modern technology, which was already clinging to the skin, and Du Jing put his hand around the thin coat and readjusted its position. This is a sharp edge, although there is a scabbard, but he still can't feel at ease, after all, he used a bamboo sword before, and he is not very suitable for this.
After a soft sigh, he sped up his journey. He didn't dare to take the dark path, because danger was everywhere and he had to be careful at all times. He has also been reminding himself to be careful, even if he is walking on the main road, he cannot take it lightly. But after riding for a while, he felt that something was wrong. But what was wrong, he couldn't tell. At first, he was surprised, but when he came to the neighborhood near his house, the surprise turned into a strong shock. It's not just weird.... There's no way that could happen.
Although it is not an upscale neighborhood, it is a popular place among young people because of its location, no buildings, empty parking lots, many coffee shops and popular restaurants, and places in the wind and moon. What's more, it's still summer, and even if there is a curfew, the popularity here hasn't been interrupted. On weekend evenings, the street is almost full of people.
But you can see that the shops on this street are all lit up, but there are no people inside, but there are many vehicles parked on the narrow road. It shouldn't be, because Tokyo people are known for their reluctance to cause trouble, and as a gathering place for young people in the neighborhood, how can you not even see a figure of a dojo? But that's just the way it is!
So, where the hell did everyone go?
Du Jing got out of the car and walked slowly on the street, his eyes kept looking, trying to find the truth about what had happened here, and his heart was also trying to suppress the uneasiness brought to him by this quiet atmosphere.
Perhaps, what kind of event was held here? Yes, the Sea Festival is just around the corner, and it's a festival held to thank you for the grace of the ocean, and tonight is the opening ceremony. It must be so! But is it necessary for everyone to participate? If so, then this is a great party! But.... This is used to deceive ghosts, who would believe this kind of nonsense, I'm afraid it's just him!
He grinned, and his smile suddenly stopped, for he realized that he hadn't seen anyone since he had beaten himself to the neighborhood. Yes, not a single person has been seen, not a living person has been seen, not even a dead person has been seen. But then, the reality that made him uneasy finally attacked, not dramatic, but starkly reality.
It was a disgusting smell, as foul as feces. No, that's not right at all, that's not accurate. It smells worse than feces, it's... Rot! Yes, it's the smell of rot, something is rotten!
Damn, whose rotten meat hasn't been handled well? Du Jing thought so, but the stench continued to fill his nasal cavity, coupled with the empty street, his hair stood on end, and he already had goosebumps all over his body, and he was about to fall to the ground.
"Maybe, I shouldn't comfort myself like this, I should accept the reality..." The words of self-talk stopped abruptly, Du Jing finally pulled his heart, and his face showed solemnity. Sure enough, it still came....
