The streets are late at night, the street lights are dim, and the surroundings are unusually quiet, except for the soft whistle of the cold wind that passes from time to time.

I stood behind a street lamp and looked across the street at the storefront.

Inside, the lights were bright, a young couple, a pair of children, a gray-haired old man, and three light men in courier suits were sitting expressionlessly in the store at the moment, motionless, just like what I had seen when I had no intention of looking back.

Suddenly, as if they had noticed my gaze, several people turned their heads towards me in unison, and the two children with their backs to me turned their heads 180 degrees, and the familiar and infiltrating changes began to appear on the faces of several people.

Dark gray eyeballs, gaping mouths, sharp teeth, and scarlet tongues, they smiled sadly at me, and they all got up and walked towards me.

I didn't expect to be discovered so quickly, and I was so frightened that I took a few steps back.

Before I could stand firmly, there was a sudden chill from my left wrist, and someone grabbed my wrist.

I was so shocked that I raised my other hand and slammed it at the man, but I was easily dodged.

"Brother Wen, it's me!"

When I saw clearly, the person who grabbed my wrist was the guy in the store, Ah Shui.

"Ah Shui? Why are you here? ”

I asked, a little surprised. Ah Shui didn't rush to answer, but put the index finger of his other hand in front of his mouth.

"Shhh

After speaking, without waiting for me to speak, he pulled me to the side of the alley and ran to the side, and the strength in his hand was surprisingly great.

I was dragged by Ah Shui, and I was puzzled, but my hand couldn't break free.

As I ran, I looked back and saw that the monsters had come out of the shop and walked into the middle of the road.

At this moment, there was a slight vibration of the token on my right hand, and I could feel that it seemed to be warning me.

I was slightly stunned and looked at Ah Shui in front of me vigilantly.

He was looking to the side from time to time, as if to watch out for something, and one hand was gripping my wrist tightly.

It didn't take long for us to cross the alley and stop at a clearing.

There were no lights, only the light of the huge full moon in the sky, which was a little dim.

Ah Shui let go of my hand and turned to look at me.

"Brother Wen, those people in the store don't know what's wrong, they all turned into terrifying monsters, they pounced on people when they saw them, I finally escaped and found a place to hide, and I was upstairs observing below, and I saw you standing under the street lamp, so I hurried over to find you."

Ah Shui's face was full of horror, and as he spoke, he pointed to the unit building next to him, which was the one opposite us.

I was panting when I ran a little fast just now, but Ah Shui's voice sounded unusually steady, except for a little frightened.

I raised my eyes to look at Ah Shui, and at this moment, as usual, he didn't see anything abnormal.

"Why are you still in the store so late? What about Daddy? ”

"Stinky boy, come here!"

Before Ah Shui could answer, his father's voice suddenly came from behind him, with a little anxiety.

I turned to look, and there was a figure standing in the distance, not tall, slightly fat, and seemed to be holding something in his hand, because the surroundings were dim, and I couldn't see clearly, but it looked a little like my father.

I frowned, and walked warily over to the figure.

When I was still about ten meters away from the figure, by the moonlight, I finally saw the appearance of the person, it was my father.

At this moment, Daddy was standing there, with a hint of horror and anxiety on his face, and a kitchen knife in his left hand.

Seeing that it was my father, I didn't let my guard down, but stopped and looked at him defensively.

"Stinky boy, come here, Ah Shui has become a monster!"

Daddy shouted to me urgently.

"Brother Wen, don't go over, the boss has become a monster."

Ah Shui's voice came from behind him at the same time.

I stood in the middle of them, slightly stunned, my heart beating like a beat.

Both are saying that the other is a monster at the same time, who is telling the truth, or either is lying.

I looked left and right at them, and Daddy was waving at me with an anxious face.

Ah Shui, on the other hand, looked at his father nervously, raised his hands to his chest and clenched into fists, making a vigilant posture.

I looked into their eyes, and it was all normal.

I silently took a few steps back, my body touching the wall.

"Stinky boy, what are you still hesitating about, don't you still believe Daddy?"

Seeing that I didn't believe him, my father shouted at me again, and the look of anxiety on his face was even worse.

"Brother Wen, don't believe him, the boss just turned into a monster and hacked several people to death with a knife, don't believe it, look at his hand, the knife is still dripping with blood."

Hearing this, he looked at his father again, and there was liquid slowly dripping from his hand holding the kitchen knife.

I slowly turned my body against the wall to my father, and at the same time silently hid the token in my right hand in my sleeve, exposing only one end, and holding it in the palm of my hand.

"Bastard boy, it's blood from those monsters! They couldn't kill them one by one, and that monster Ah Shui was slashed in the foot by me, but nothing happened at all! ”

Hearing my father's words, I suddenly remembered the deputy director who was cut in the neck by me with an axe, and her blood splashed on my face, with a strong fishy smell, and the blood was cold, not like human blood, it was warm.

Thinking of this, I turned to look at Ah Shui again, and at this moment he still maintained that posture and looked at Dad vigilantly.

I looked into his legs, and he was wearing a pair of black trousers, just in front of the thigh of his left leg, and there was indeed a long gaff, but no blood was coming out.

It was because there was no bloodshed that I didn't notice it just now.

I don't know who to trust anymore, and I regret running away with Ah Shui.

If I had stayed where I was, at the speed of those few tricks in the store, I would have run far before they came out.

But when I remembered the huge force on my wrist that I couldn't get rid of when Ah Shui grabbed me just now, I also knew that I couldn't refuse.

At this moment, both of them stopped talking, both on alert, on guard against each other, while slowly moving towards me.

I really want to run out right now.

But I reckon, as soon as I made a move, the monster among them, or two, would rush up at once and tear me apart.

With the speed at which Ah Shui pulled me to run just now, I would never be able to run this distance.

"Daddy, did you offer the incense from the shrine at home?"

I suddenly remembered something and asked my father.

Hearing my question, Dad was obviously stunned, stopped, and then replied:

"Yes, why are you asking this at this time, why don't you hurry up!"

"Ah Shui, is your mother still coughing lately?"

I ignored my father, but asked Ah Shui again.

Ah Shui, who heard the question, also stopped, and said to me with a little doubt:

"Brother Wen, I'm an orphan, where did I come from, you don't know."
