Chapter 1: An ordinary, ordinary and warm night
"Happy Birthday!"
The light in the living room was shining on the pale yellow tablecloth, which looked extremely warm, and Dad and Mom entered the room with cakes.
They never bring home bad moods from work, they are full of smiles, and although they have been busy all day, they don't see any tiredness.
Lifting the curtain of the kitchen, Gao Ming walked out with the freshly prepared meal, he didn't talk to his parents, and sat alone at the dining table.
"This kid ......" Dad shook his head helplessly, took off his raincoat and rubber shoes, and put his slippers at his mother's feet.
The father in a straight suit is very gentlemanly, tall and handsome, and the mother in the white shirt and jeans is gentle and capable, she praises Gao Ming's cooking skills, and then throws the dirty clothes she has changed into the bathroom.
The sound of running water sounded, and after my mother washed her hands, there were still a few drops of dark red stains left on the sink.
"Today is your birthday, no matter how busy we are at work, we will rush back to accompany you."
Gao Ming didn't seem to hear his parents' voices, he lowered his head and listened carefully to the news report on TV.
"The Rainy Night Killer is back! The third homicide occurred in the old town of our city! ”
"The police have identified the suspect! Please don't panic, lock your doors and windows, and try not to go out late at night! ”
The torrential rain hit the window panes, and the contrast between the howling wind outside and the steaming food inside was stark.
"What do you keep reading all this news for?" Dad picked up the remote control and was a little worried: "Some media like to raise attention by relying on anxiety and misfortune. ”
Gao Ming didn't reply, he quietly moved his gaze, scanning the warm cabin.
All the walls are soundproofed and coated with sound-absorbing paint, so that as long as there is no violent scuffle in the house, the neighbors have no idea what is going on inside the house.
The living room has been replaced with a brand new air-cooled refrigerator, which relies on a fan to blow air into the inside of the refrigerator to cool the meat, which is not easy to smell and does not smell.
The kitchen is stocked with plenty of crisper bags that are just big enough for fist-sized pieces of meat to be carried. Underneath the counter is a heater, which when mixed with water can speed up the rotting of meat. So...... Part of the meat is hidden in the refrigerator, and part of the meat is taken out and scattered and buried?
Behind the bathroom door, there is a plastic impermeable membrane, which is enough to cover the bathroom, and it seems that the 'meat' is processed here.
Of course, the meat that needs to be handled in the bathroom is certainly not serious meat.
Just looking at the clean and tidy ground, some bad scenes already came to Gao Ming's mind.
The overall decoration style of the room is very warm, but his hands are trembling slightly.
"Come, eat the cake, your dad and I braved the heavy rain to get it back." After washing her hands, Mom unwrapped the cake and carefully inserted eighteen candles on it.
"Eighteen ......" Gao Ming is twenty-six years old this year, and the number of candles is wrong.
"Make a wish, huh?" Dad lit the candle and Mom turned off the light.
Darkness enveloped the living room, and the firelight flickered, reflecting the faces of Dad and Mom, who stared at Takamei in the darkness with the exact same smile on their faces.
It's really exactly the same, and even the curvature of the corners of the mouth is exactly the same.
Takamei could feel his father and mother approaching, and their bodies seemed to be alienating in places where the fire couldn't shine.
"I hope my mom and dad will always be with me." Since his parents came home, this is the first time Gao Ming has spoken. In fact, Takamei loves his father and mother very much, and his father and mother love him very much, no matter how busy they are, they will come back to see him every night.
The lights came back on, and Gao Ming's back was already wet with cold sweat, so he took off the candles one by one, wiped them clean, and put them into an iron box, which originally contained many candles.
"If you say your wish, it won't work, just meditate in your heart next time." Dad seemed to be hungry and ate in a big gulp, and Mom looked at Gao Ming dotingly, picked up chopsticks to pick up vegetables for him.
Instead of touching the food he had cooked, he placed a piece of cake in front of him, silently counting his heartbeat, gently rubbing the calluses on his fingers.
"Insert an urgent piece of news! The Rainy Night Killer is very likely to escape into the residential area! Once again, the citizens of the old city are reminded to keep their doors and windows closed, and never open the doors to strangers! ”
"According to the clues provided by the police, the Rainy Night Killer is between 20 and 30 years old and between 1.75 and 1.85 meters tall......"
After about fifteen minutes had passed, after observing the state of his father and mother, he scooped a piece of cream with a small spoon and put it in his mouth.
The milky aroma is rich, and the sweet and greasy taste melts in the mouth, as if swallowing the whole fairy tale in one bite.
"Bang!"
The mother, who was about to get up to serve the soup, fell to the ground, her arms waving unconsciously, and her eyelids slowly couldn't open.
Seeing his wife fall, his father wanted to help him, but he felt as if his body had been filled with lead water, and it was difficult for him to move his feet.
"It's a bit big, and even though it's not the first time I've done something like this, I'm still nervous."
Gao Ming's hands stopped shaking, and he looked at his father and mother who fell to the ground, and the expression on his face was a little strange.
"I still can't understand why this is happening, am I crazy, or is the world crazy?" Gao Ming opened the wardrobe and took out the restraint belt used to bind the mentally ill, and skillfully tied up his father and mother.
The news on TV about the murder demon on a rainy night continues, and the torrential rain continues, but none of this seems to have anything to do with high fate.
He dragged his unconscious father and mother to the bedroom door.
Gao Ming loves his father and mother very much, and his father and mother love him very much, no matter how busy they are, they will come back to see him every night, but ......
Pushing the bedroom door open, the chains rattled, and the strange and familiar faces with a mad smile stared straight at Gao Ming!
The bedroom is full of dad and mom!
Their bodies are intertwined and intertwined!
The expression on his face doesn't look like a human being can make it at all!
Gao Sheng's father and mother come back every night, but it doesn't seem to be his father and mother who come back. Even if they are tied up, there will still be new moms and dads coming back at night!
"Are they human beings? Or is it a monster? Or is it a human-like monster? ”
The mouths slowly opened wide, and the fathers and mothers who were tied up in the bedroom saw Gao Ming, bloodshot lines appeared under their eyes, they were like fish thrown on the shore, shaking their bodies desperately, and while struggling violently, a hoarse voice began to come out of their throats - stay here!
Stay here!!
Lighting a cigarette, Takami leaned against the doorframe, silently watching everything.
He's been trapped in this room for three days, and the cause of the incident may have been three days ago.
On the night of the Midyear Festival, he quit his job as a psychological counselor at the Hesan Prison for Serious Offenders and prepared to work full-time on game design and creation.
At 23 o'clock, he took the last bus from Hanjiang City back to Hanhai City, when he was designing a small game on the bus to enhance the relationship between family members and improve the quality of family affection.
The general content is to hope that parents can accompany their children more, go home every night to chat with their children, no matter how busy they are, do not ignore their children's feelings, take care is responsibility, and companionship is love.
The passengers on the car gradually decreased, and at about one o'clock in the morning, the bus stopped in a tunnel for some reason, Gao Ming took off the headphones and got up to check, and found that he was the only one left in the car, and even the driver was gone.
He got out of the car with his luggage, heard someone talking in front of him, and quietly followed the other party.
The memory of the future is missing a very critical period, and Gao Ming doesn't even know how he got home, but vaguely remembers that he saw something very terrifying.
Panicking, he locked himself in his home, but at three o'clock in the morning he was woken up by a knock on the door, and when he opened the door, he found his parents standing outside the door with a cake.
Gao Ming invited his parents into the house, and he went to get his slippers, but at this time he received a call from his mother.
Mom said that Hanhai will rain heavily in the next few days, and hopes that Gao Ming will take care of himself and pay attention to safety.
The chill instantly climbed up Gao Sheng's back, and as soon as he turned around, he just saw his father and mother standing side by side behind him with their heads bowed.
Birthday cake, companionship, dad and mom ......
The scenes in the mini-game to improve the quality of family relations have become a reality, and there have been some "slight" changes!
He also tried to escape, but it was pitch black and gloomy outside the security door, as if he was connected to another abnormal world.
There was no way, so Gao Ming had to try to clear the game he designed.
What is the difficulty of a small game to enhance the relationship between family members, even if it is alienated? Isn't it that when the lights are turned off, dad and mom will turn into monsters? Isn't it just that Mom and Dad come over every night? Isn't it just that Gou is in a home that has become a killing workshop, and he can live to the age of eighteen smoothly, and let his father and mother complete the company?
Thinking back on his experience in the past three days, Gao Ming's eyelids are trembling, not to mention anything else, he doesn't want to eat cake in his life.
Snuffing out the cigarette butts, Takamei pushes the last two "parents" into the bedroom, and the faces of all the fathers and mothers begin to distort, and they seem unwilling to leave.
"Every time Mom and Dad come home, the number of candles on the cake increases, and eighteen is a coming-of-age ceremony, and when eighteen candles appear, that's when I clear the customs."
"I'm grateful for your company, but if you were really my father and mother, they wouldn't have let me stay here, but would have liked me to take you with me."
When Gao Ming locked his father and mother in the bedroom before, they had never reacted so violently, and this just happened to show that Gao Ming was about to clear this little game he designed.
Closing the bedroom door, Takashi felt that the temperature in the house was starting to rise, the news broadcast on the TV became clear, and the rainstorm outside the window seemed to be a little more real.
"It's been three days, and I'm finally able to leave this hellish place."
Quickly came to the security door of the living room, Gao Ming looked out along the cat's eyes, the corridor was no longer dark, and the dim lights flickered on and off, which seemed to indicate that Gao Ming was getting out of a certain place.
"My memory of that tunnel is a little vague, and the reason why the game I made came to life must have something to do with that tunnel!"
Takamei felt that he had to find out as soon as possible, because he was a heavy mystery lover, and he had more dead people in his head than corpses buried in public cemeteries. If all of this turns out to be true, the whole city is in danger.
The light in the hallway gradually dispelled the darkness, and Takashi was about to try to open the door when there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside.
His heart was beating faster, and he stared at the cat's eye nervously, blood vessels bulging from his arm.
"You should have cleared the customs!"
Holding his breath, Takami stared at the corner of the stairs.
A moment later, a man in a raincoat in his twenties, 180 tall, appeared outside the door, his face gloomy, scanning the surrounding doors.
Gao Ming's eyes narrowed slightly, and the figure of the man in the raincoat was almost the same as the surveillance picture released by the police, and his hanging heart fell back into his stomach.
"Scared me, it turned out to be a murder demon on a rainy night, and I thought my parents were back."
Glancing back at the bedroom, there should be a reward for clearing the game, but Gao Ming didn't dare to take it. He found a bandage to wrap around his leg, pretended to be injured, carried a garbage bag, and opened the security door.
Moist and fresh air poured into the room, and Takamei took a deep breath.
Originally, the man in the raincoat was about to leave, but he heard the sound of the door opening. The rain was sliding down the brim of his hat, and he tried to hide the excitement in his eyes, and turned to grab the door.
"It's raining so hard outside, your clothes are soaked, come in and warm up."
The man in the raincoat didn't even speak, Gao Ming took the initiative to invite, and then limped to the hot table for food.
Seeing Gao Ming's defenseless appearance, the raincoat man entered the house, he glanced at Gao Ming's "injured" left leg, and then looked at the half-eaten cake, the warm atmosphere in the room further stimulated his desire to destroy, making him show an extremely cruel smile.
This may be the last ordinary and warm night you have ever spought.
