Chapter 2: Nightmares

Luo Xi had a dream.

I dreamed that my parents and sister had all turned into terrifying monsters.

They chanted strange spells and began to devour his body.

And he could only struggle weakly, watching himself being eaten bite by bite......

"Don't!"

Luo Xi woke up from a nightmare.

The warm and soft sunlight of the morning shone on Luo Xi's pale face through the glass window.

Everything is so peaceful and peaceful.

It was as if what happened yesterday in the reading room was just a dream.

Luo Xi is definitely a staunch materialist.

It's the same even if you've experienced a crossing.

I don't know how it works, but it's certainly possible.

So when something like a man turning into a monster happened, he didn't find it difficult to accept. For example, being invaded by a certain virus or something like that can be done.

In order to find out all this, he decided that he must go to Scarlet Alley after class.

Luo Xi didn't listen to a word in the whole day's class, and his mind was full of yesterday's scenes.

Looking at the table next to him who was taking notes seriously, suddenly turned into an extremely ugly monster, this kind of picture is really unimaginable.

It's a pity that there are no cameras in this era, otherwise you must check it out and take a closer look.

I don't know how the girl disposed of the body, but everything was calm on campus, and it seemed that the death of another girl was completely unnoticed.

I finally got out of class at night.

Luo Xi immediately walked towards the Scarlet Alley.

Although the name of Scarlet Lane may sound chilling, it is actually a wealthy neighborhood nearby.

Because every house is full of red lanterns under the eaves at night, reflecting on the ground like blood, the blood alley is named after it.

Number eighty-two is in a small alley around the corner.

Luo Xi stepped forward and knocked on the door.

"Come in, the door is unlocked." A woman's voice came from inside the house.

Luo Xi cautiously pushed the door in and saw the girl she had seen in the library before.

At this moment, she was waving the big knife in her hand in the courtyard.

The name of the knife is Xueyue, which was originally a romantic word, but at this moment there is only a solemn killing intent.

The blade qi is vertical and horizontal, and the ginkgo biloba leaves in the courtyard are blown off by the knife qi and scattered in all directions.

Seeing Luo Xi, the girl's right hand holding the knife thrust into the void with her backhand, and the huge blade disappeared immediately, as if she had entered a dimension that did not belong to the current world.

Luo Xi looked at her blankly, materialistic he really couldn't accept the scene in front of him.

Yes, it must be magic, the other party must have used some kind of trick.

Thinking about it this way, my heart seems to be able to accept it a little.

"Here you are, human, sit as you please." The girl said lightly.

That's a ...... Chic.

"What the hell is that?" Luo Xi asked in a low voice.

"Star Beast."

Luo Xi opened his mouth and didn't say anything.

The other party asked himself to come here, and he will definitely give himself a reasonable explanation.

"There are three kinds of 'humans' in this world, the first is the Star Beast, which has a powerful physical attack ability. The second type is spirit animals, which possess a variety of peculiar special abilities. And the third type is pure-blooded humans like you and me. ”

"Wait a minute, what do you mean by humans like us? Do you mean to say that all around us, there are hidden star beasts and spirit beasts that look like humans? ”

"Huh." The girl sneered.

"What are you laughing at?"

"You are wrong, it is humans who are hidden among star beasts and spirit beasts, according to my calculations, among a thousand 'people', there is only about one human, ninety percent are star beasts, and one percent are spirit beasts."

A 1 in 1,000 chance that it's a real person? That's impossible!

Could it be that if you care about yourself so much, love your parents, and your naughty sister, ninety percent of them may be star beasts?

After crossing into this world, he felt the warmth of a home that he had never had in the past, and now Luo Xi just wants to live a life like this plain but warm and happy.

And now you tell me that all this is an illusion, and that the family members are all beasts?

Luo Xi can't accept it!

The girl suddenly ripped off her blouse.

Beauty again? I'm a normal man!

Luo Xi was speechless in his heart, and hurriedly covered his eyes.

Through his fingers, he saw a large scar on the top of his left chest and below his shoulder bone.

"It's normal for you to be unacceptable for a while, but this is the so-called killer blow from my family. If it weren't for the fact that I awakened the talent of the sword at the time of the crisis, I would have been a dead man by now. The girl put her clothes back on.

"No, if everything you say is true, why am I still alive and well as a human for so many years?"

"Because you don't have the talent for awakening. There is a certain rule in this world, if the beast does not discover the identity of a human, they will not attack others around them at will, and will continue to live in their original form as a human. ”

I see. So as long as you don't reveal your human identity, can't you continue to live as you are?

As if penetrating Luo Xi's thoughts, the girl sneered: "Don't think that pretending to be a turtle can save your life, you have now realized your identity as a human being, and your inadvertent movements and demeanor will be exposed." ”

"In addition, I will tell you an unfortunate thing, we humans are most likely the source of the evolution of beasts. As long as they eat us, the abilities of the star beasts and spirit beasts will be greatly enhanced. Once they're sure you're human, they're bound to make a move. ”

Luo Xi blurted out: "So we are actually the experience babies of beasts?" ”

"Experience baby?" The girl didn't understand the meaning of the word.

Luo Xi then remembered that there were no video games in this era, so naturally he didn't know what the experience baby meant.

"Well, that means we're their food for upgrading."

"You're very smart, but it's a pity that you haven't awakened any talent, so in order to prevent the beast from eating your evolution, I can only kill you now!"

The girl's eyes suddenly showed a fierce light, and her slender right hand directly pinched Luo Xi's neck.

"Goo!"

A strong feeling of suffocation welled up in my heart.

"You...... Why ......"

Luo Xi struggled frantically, but the girl who looked soft and weak had terrifying strength, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break away from the fingers on his neck.

The lack of oxygen made Luo Xi's brain blank, and the pictures of the past flashed in front of him like a horse.

"Is this my life?"

The loneliness of childhood and the happiness after crossing over are intertwined, and the painful, unhappy, and happy memories all begin to go into darkness.

Luo Xi realized that he was about to die.

From now on, there will be no "me" in either world, and there will never be a "me" in the past, present, or future.

Even if there is an afterlife, it is a new "me" that has nothing to do with the present "me"!!

An inexplicable fear crossed my heart, followed by a cold from head to toe.

The chill stimulated him instead awakened his consciousness of gradually falling into the dark abyss.
