Wen Xue's idea was really a little weird.

It was a pet she had bought herself, and at the moment she was looking forward to her death.

Not because I wanted it to die because I was bored, but because of inexplicable fear.

Her hands trembled slightly.

Opening the lock and tossing it aside, Wen Xue put her hand on the edge of the lid.

She took a few deep breaths before slowly lifting the lid.

Just by opening a gap, Wen Xue was horrified to see that the snake's eyes were flashing with a faint green light, staring straight at her face.

Moreover, those two eyes, right next to that gap, seemed to have known that she was going to open the box, and had been waiting for her for a long time.

Wen Xue swallowed and continued to lift the lid upward.

Her eyes widened suddenly.

She saw that next to the snake, there were more snake skins that had fallen off. At a glance, there are about six.

Wen Xue remembered that there were two last time. In that case, in the two months that the box was locked this time, the snake shed its skin four more times.

Doesn't a snake have to grow up to shed its skin? Locked in a box, without eating or drinking, why do you grow up?

Suddenly, her eyes widened beyond measure.

"What's that?"

She saw that in the box, which had nothing but the snake, something white had appeared.

Although her scalp was a little numb when she was stared at by the snake, Wen Xue still looked at the white things.

Bone?

She was incredulous.

Where did that bone come from? I didn't have these bones last time.

She looked closely.

Although many of the bones have been broken, it can be roughly seen that they are the bones of some small animals, which appear to be mice.

Where did the rats come from?

She was puzzled.

Closing the lid again, Wen Xue locked the box.

She wanted to throw the box out in its entirety, but after thinking about it, she left it behind.

What exactly will happen?

She suddenly developed a strong curiosity.

She went out and returned to the door of the pet store where she had bought the snake. However, I don't know if it was due to poor management or other reasons, it has been closed.

Looking at the locked rusty iron door, Wen Xue felt a little uneasy.

She always felt that there was something wrong with the snake.

Or, is there something wrong with that box?

She stood by the window of the pet store, leaning on the glass and looking in.

Suddenly, she saw a person inside.

The man seemed to be waiting for her, and as soon as her head was close to the glass, the man jerked towards her.

It's just that the man looks extremely weird, his whole body is gray, and his face is also gray, like a strange person who has been sick for a long time.

However, the man's eyes flashed with a terrifying green light.

"Ahh

She was so frightened by the sudden anomalous change that she fell to the ground.

When I looked closely, there was nothing in the glass.

Is that one just now, a human being?

She wasn't sure at all.

After her heartbeat gradually calmed down, she remembered that the figure just now seemed to resemble the snake she had bought.

It's all gray. They all have green eyes.

are waiting for her......

Wen Xue turned around in panic and ran, but accidentally bumped into someone.

"Ouch! This kid, what's so urgent? It hurts me! ”

Wen Xue unconsciously turned her head to see that it was the wife of her neighbor Uncle Liu, who usually called her Aunt Wang. Aunt Wang is outgoing, likes to talk to people, and knows most of the people in the community.

She was injured in her early years, and the thumb of her left hand was missing for some reason, and her usual life was very inconvenient.

Wen Xue didn't pay attention to her, just glanced at it and continued to run home.

A week later, she opened the box to look at it.

The snake still watched her through the cracks, as if it had known she was coming to open the box.

Wen Xue saw that there were some more white bones in it. Moreover, those bones looked a lot bigger than the last time.

It seems to be ...... Cat bones.

How is that possible? Cat bones? When did the cat appear in the box that has been locked up?

Wen Xue closed the box again in a panic and locked it.

This time, she locked up for a full year.

It's been a year, will that snake continue to live? Will the bones in that box continue to increase?

Wen Xue came to the box, and the hand holding the key trembled slightly.

Finally, she unlocked the lock.

She had expected the snake to be watching her through the crack, but this time, she wasn't scared by the green eyes in the gap.

However, she was terrified by the bones inside.

Not the bones of a mouse, not the bones of a cat.

This time, it was a human skeleton inside.

A shattered human skeleton.

One of the palms is missing a thumb.

"Ahh

Wen Xue finally screamed uncontrollably and stepped back.

She ran out of the house and went straight to the gate of the community. The doorman Lao Sun was guarding in the guard's room.

"Uncle Sun, have you seen Uncle Liu and Aunt Wang recently?"

Wen Xue shouted.

"Lao Liu passed away this morning."

Lao Li raised his eyes and looked at Wen Xue and said.

"Go...... Passed away? ”

"yes. His wife died inexplicably, her head rolled on the ground, and her body could not be found. Lao Liu couldn't stand the blow, fell ill, and couldn't be saved. ”

Wen Xue then remembered that she had indeed not seen the skull in the box just now.

She froze in place, unable to utter a word.

After a few seconds, she suddenly remembered that she had come out in a hurry and hadn't locked the box up.

The snake...... The bones......

Wen Xue's face suddenly turned pale.

She turned and ran, not looking back.

No one should be allowed to discover the bones!

When she ran home, she found that the box was gone, and the snake had gone.

On the ground, where the boxes were originally placed, were now empty.

Someone came in?

Wen Xue's ears buzzed, and her head was dizzy.

She trembled and reached into her pocket, trying to pull out the key.

However, the pockets are also empty.

The key also mysteriously disappeared.

Wen Xue stood in place for more than ten minutes, and then suddenly came back to her senses as if she had just woken up from a dream.

Did that snake ever exist?

All evidence of the existence of the chest and the snake is gone. Nothing was left but memories.

However, is memory really reliable?

Wen Xue slowly walked to the window blankly and looked outside.

She saw several black cars decorated with white paper flowers parked at the entrance of the community.

Is that the last piece of evidence?

Since then, Wen Xue has had nightmares for several nights.

In her dreams, she always saw a pair of green eyes, staring straight at her, a red letter, flying in front of her eyes.

……

"A snake?"

Shi Yuan frowned slightly and looked at Wen Xue.

"No, actually, I think the real problem is the box."

Wen Xue looked at the iron box in Takegami Xuewu's hand and subconsciously took a few steps back.
