Chapter 1: Mystery Express

Next Chapter

It all started when I received a courier at home and someone sent me a cardboard box.

This cardboard box is the size of a person, and it is very sturdy, wrapped in scotch tape. There are some small holes the size of a pin's eye at the tip. I tried to look in, but I couldn't see anything clearly.

This box has been sitting in the corner for three days, and I haven't opened it until now because I think it's a little weird.

First of all, this express does not have sender information, all the content in the sender column is blank, and there is no mobile phone number, name and address.

But the information about me, that is, the recipient column, is filled in clearly. This shows that the other party knows me very well.

Secondly, when I went to the courier company to inquire according to the courier number, the response was "no such order". Including my description of the courier, a man with glasses with a scar on his chin, all of them said they hadn't seen it.

Anyone with such distinctive features will be impressed, so the only explanation can only be that he is a pretending courier.

One of the weirdest things is that the inside of this cardboard box often shakes on its own.

It often swayed slightly, and made some noises, especially when I was near, and the movement was even more pronounced, as if it were ...... Something struggled inside.

I suspect it's a living thing.

A mysterious person sent me a living creature that I don't know what it was and what it wanted to do.

I felt too strange to open it.

Just when I didn't know what to do with the box, that night, I came home from work and something terrible happened.

I found ...... The box has been moved.

I had placed it in the northwest corner of the living room, but when I came back that day, I saw that it had been moved from its original position by a full twenty centimeters.

The only person who had the key to the place where I was staying was my parents, and I immediately called them and asked, and neither of them had been here for a day.

So who, exactly, came in?

The more I thought about it, the more scared I felt, and the intense sense of fear made me feel the urge to open it. See what's really inside.

I found a paper cutter and carefully spent a long time opening its heavy packaging.

To my surprise, when I opened the cardboard box, I was greeted by ......

A dummy.

It is the kind of window female mannequins that are often seen in shopping malls, which are used to display clothes.

Now the dummy has been dismantled into various limbs and stacked in this cardboard box, which is stuffed with a lot of plastic foam, almost burying the dummy.

I never imagined it would be something like this, it was far from what I had imagined. I sat on the couch and stared at the contents of the cardboard box in deep thought.

Immediately, I realized a very important question: where did the movement in the previous box come from?

Why does a dummy make those shaking and struggling movements inside?

The more I thought about it, the more I felt hairy......

I'm afraid no one will believe this kind of thing when I tell anyone.

Staying alone in a quiet home, looking at the empty eyes of the plastic head, it was very panicked. I couldn't take it anymore and decided I wanted to throw it away. Now right now, right away.

It doesn't matter who sent it to me, or what the other party's purpose is. I was a little scared.

I plucked up the courage and went over to pick up the suitcase and go out, but when I picked it up, I found another thing.

The weight of this box is different from before.

I remember very well that the carton was a bit laborious when I first moved into the house, it felt heavy at the time, but now it is significantly lighter.

Then I saw a cigarette butt on the ground where the original carton was placed, and I put down the carton and picked it up, and it was not the kind of cigarette I usually smoked.

That's when I realized right away that this might not be the same box as before.

Somebody came into my house and removed the original cardboard box and replaced it with this one that looked exactly the same.

When I first thought of this, before I had time to think about it, I suddenly felt a buzz inside the box, and then a shrill mobile phone ringtone came out of the box, and suddenly resounded throughout the quiet living room.

It scared me.

There was actually a mobile phone in the cardboard box.

This made me stunned for a long time, and the ringtone had not stopped, so I quickly gouged in these plastic foams, saw the bright light of the mobile phone, and immediately pinched it out.

The moment I saw it, I was shocked, it was actually a Nokia phone with a black and white screen.

I couldn't help but be surprised to see such a thing this year. After taking it out, I saw that the caller ID on the screen said Unknown.

Hell, I pressed the answer button. Keep the phone close to your ear.

There was silence in the earpiece. In the silence, I could faintly hear the breathing of a man.

I subconsciously fed it.

Then I suddenly felt as if the other person was talking to me in an angry voice.

It suddenly sounded like a gasp, but when I listened closely, I could feel that the other person was talking, and I immediately asked, "What did you say?" ”

The other party was a little louder, and I made it carefully, and I realized that it was ...... Help me!

I was about to ask when I heard a woman's scream on the phone! Then, the phone was disconnected.

My heart is beating wildly, what the hell is going on?!

I pondered for a moment, these things are too strange, I'm afraid I can't just throw things away, and go to the police station tomorrow to call the police.

When I made my decision, the next morning, I saw a local news item on TV. When I saw the content of the news, I just felt a chill all over my body.

Last night, in a neighborhood not far from where I lived, a woman was killed in her home and her organs were stolen. The murderer pretended to be a courier and took the opportunity to enter her home and attack her when she was delivering a courier. The most terrifying thing is that this is already the fourth case in the city, and the murderer is still at large.

When the suspect was posted on the TV, I noticed that it was very similar to the man who delivered me a courier a few days ago! I was also wearing the clothes of the same courier company.

My scalp was numb for a while, how could this be, was I being targeted by a murderer?

This strengthened my determination to call the police, and I decided not to delay for a minute and call the police now.

But when I took out my phone and was about to call 110, I suddenly received another courier text message.

It's still the same courier company, which shows that I have a courier that has been delivered. Before I could react, the next second I received the express text message, I heard a knock on the door.

I hurried to the door and looked out through the cat's eye—

Standing outside the door was the man with the scar on his chin.
