Charlie is a 24-hour convenience store employee, and although the job is very hard and requires frequent night shifts, the pay is relatively good. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
For a person with a low academic background, this job allows him to accumulate original funds relatively quickly and fulfill his dream of opening a small restaurant.
On this day, Charlie finished his night shift and dragged his tired body back to his residence, a residential building that looked very old.
In the next few days, the apartment complex will also be demolished, so most of the residents have already moved out of the building, and the rest are people like Charlie who have not yet found a new place to live.
Thinking of this, Charlie had a headache, although the facilities of the building are very simple, such as poor sound insulation, and water leakage on rainy days...... However, it was close to where Charlie was working and most importantly the rent was cheap.
For a while, it will be difficult to find a more suitable replacement.
"I'll see tomorrow."
He muttered and rubbed his temples to clear his mind.
Walking into the building, the environment is very dark and gloomy, and the mottled walls smell of decay.
Walking on the stairs, the sound of footsteps echoes very clearly.
"Smack!"
Suddenly, the light at the corner of the staircase flickered.
"Damn vampires!" Charlie was taken aback, couldn't help but complain about the developer of the real estate, and quickened his pace.
Coming to the floor where he lived, Charlie took out the key.
"Knock knock!"
Just then, there was the sound of some kind of heavy object hitting the wall behind him.
The sudden sound made Charlie's hand shake, and the keys fell to the ground with a "snap".
"What sound?" Looking back at where the voice came from, he was shocked.
At this time, Charlie noticed a very strange place, the door of the opposite room was unlocked.
"Who's coming?" Charlie thought back for a while, because of the nature of his work, he often needed to go out late and return early, although he lived in his neighbor across the door, he had no contact, and only remembered that he was an old man.
"Knock knock!"
Charlie picked up the key and walked over and knocked on the door: "Is there anything you need help with?" ”
As he knocked on the door, the movement inside disappeared eerily.
frowned, and cautiously leaned in: "Is there anyone?" ”
There was a messy scene in front of me, quietly, and I didn't see half a figure.
Charlie's first reaction was that there had been a burglary here.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly took out his mobile phone and prepared to call the police.
"Huh?"
Suddenly I felt something, and when I looked up, a figure and a ghost appeared in front of me.
“shut!”
exploded into a foul language, and the phone fell to the ground.
"Hey man, don't be so scary." After a while, seeing clearly that the other party was a person, Charlie showed a palpitating expression.
Because the room was very dark, he couldn't really see it, but he still vaguely recognized it as his neighbor.
The man didn't respond, and walked over slowly.
Gradually, Charlie's expression froze, and he found that the old man's body was covered in blood.
Especially those eyes, like the eyes of some kind of beast, stared at him deadly.
His body stiffened, he sensed that something was wrong and took a few steps back
"Roar!"
However, at this moment, the old man suddenly burst into flames, rushed over, and threw Charlie to the ground.
With a "bang", the two figures fell to the ground fiercely, making a loud noise.
Charlie snorted, caught off guard, and almost broke his spine.
"Damn bastard...... Yes! ”
There was a scream, a sharp pain in his neck, and the old man actually bit down on a piece of flesh.
The pain was so intense that Charlie almost lost his mind.
clenched his fists and slammed it on the old man's head: "Die!" ”
Peng! Peng! Peng!
Punching into the flesh, Charlie has no intention of keeping his hands at all.
But the old man didn't seem to feel the pain at all, and still imprisoned Charlie's body, and after swallowing the flesh, he made a pleasant sound.
His face was covered in blood, like a demon.
Seeing this scene, Charlie almost collapsed, and his other hand kept grasping something.
Suddenly, I grabbed a kitchen knife.
"Ahh
With a loud roar, he slashed at the old man's head without hesitation.
"Whew!"
Blood sprayed Charlie's face, and before he knew it, the blow actually cut off most of the old man's head.
At this time, the hands and feet of the old man who had been holding Charlie's body softened.
"Ahhh......hh
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Charlie broke free all of a sudden, and slashed frantically like a madman.
One, two, three......
It wasn't until the old man's face was blurred by the cut flesh and blood that he couldn't move anymore that he stopped what he was doing.
"Whew! Call! Call! ”
Wheezing violently.
"Ding!"
The kitchen knife in his hand fell to the ground, his eyes glazed.
After a while, I finally regained a little bit of my senses, and after seeing this scene, I fell directly on the ground and vomited.
"Kill... Killed! ”
He crawled and escaped.
Trembling, he inserted the key into the keyhole, and this simple action made mistakes several times in a row.
"Click!"
Finally opened the door, rushed straight into the bathroom, and turned on the faucet.
Laugh at!
Cold water poured down, and his head sobered up.
"I ...... Killed! ”
Looking at his hands, the smell of blood couldn't be washed away, and his body trembled.
"Why is this happening?" Covering his head, he couldn't believe it.
Obviously, after such hard work, I saw that I would soon be able to realize my dream of opening a store, but this kind of thing happened.
"Shhh
Suddenly, the wound stinged again, as if a flame was burning in the body, and I couldn't help but cry out in pain.
With the passage of time, this pain not only did not disappear, but became more and more severe, and it has exceeded the limit of ordinary human tolerance.
"Ahh
Clenched his fists, his head against the wall, his expression of pain distorted.
Gradually, the wails grew lower and lower, turning into a beastly roar.
……
"What's wrong with you?"
Inoue Hikoyuki looked at Wu Xin's expression and said strangely.
"Nothing." Wu Xin reacted and quickly shook his head.
"Huh?"
Suddenly looked up.
"Did you hear anything?" Wu Xin couldn't help asking.
"What sound?" Inoue Hikoyuki's face was dazed, feeling that Wu Xin was suddenly startled, and he didn't know what was going on.
"You didn't hear?" Wu Xin frowned.
Inoue Hikoyuki is even more strange, should he have heard something?
However, Wu Xin quickly realized something, ignored Inoue Hikoyuki, and listened very carefully again.
Gradually, his expression became solemn.
"It's not good, wake up the others."
