Chapter 1 Monsters
At midnight, under the dim street lights, I walked towards the 24-hour convenience store on the corner of the street wearing slippers and pajamas.
As an otaku who works in programming, I have never had a concept of time. When I do things, I always forget time. Therefore, I will wake up only when I am very hungry. It is often midnight and there is no food in the refrigerator. This is the situation I am facing now.
Fortunately, there is a 24-hour convenience store, which is the most direct manifestation of the whole society's attention to otaku, and it ensures that otaku will not go hungry at any time.
It takes five minutes to go downstairs to the entrance of the community, and it also takes five minutes to go from the entrance of the community to the convenience store on the corner of the street. That is to say, it takes twenty minutes to go back and forth. When I do these things, I still have a strong sense of time.
At this time, there were no people on the street. This place was a residential area and the location was relatively remote. Of course, with my outfit, no one would come to rob me, so I only brought the money to buy instant noodles.
I bought three buckets of instant noodles and walked back with a plastic bag. When I was three minutes away from the entrance of the community, I heard a harsh parking sound. A black car parked beside me. Before I could figure out what was going on, I saw two cars driving from both ends of the street. These two cars blocked the car beside me in the middle of the road.
I instantly thought of the evil things like fighting in the underworld in the news reports. I didn't expect that such an unlucky thing would be encountered by me. I stood on the side of the road in pajamas and carrying instant noodles with me at a loss.
Many people in black got out of the two cars at both ends of the street, holding guns and shooting at the car beside me without saying a word. The sound of the bullet hitting the car made me react. I immediately hugged my head and leaned on the ground, slowly squirming my body in the direction away from the car.
These underworlds are really bold and shoot randomly on the streets. This is a society ruled by law.
The owner of the car next to me did not get out. I thought the man died just like that. It was not until the black window glass was broken that I realized that the person inside was still fine. He glanced at me. It was a pair of strange eyes, which emitted a blue light under the dim street lights. I thought I was confused.
The shooting lasted for a minute, and there was no conversation between the two sides. The owner of the car with blue eyes opened the car door and walked out. I saw that the bullet hit him and it was actually bounced open. It should be wearing a bullet vest or something, but what happened next was beyond my understanding.
The owner reached out and grabbed the car beside him and threw it at the shooter, hitting the other party's car and making a violent explosion. Then he pulled up the street lamp pole on the side of the road and threw it to the opposite side. The base of the pole was poured with cement, so how much effort would it take to do it.
This is a scene that only appears in the movie, and now it happens in front of me. I lay on the ground and didn't dare to move, and looked up slightly at this terrifying war.
The owner walked towards the opposite side like a Terminator, not afraid of the bullets facing him. The man in black on the opposite side stopped firing and took out a strange-shaped gun and shot at the owner. He saw an electric current flashing across the owner's body. His body swayed a few times, but he did not stop.
The men in black were not afraid of such a terrifying opponent. One of them took out a tube and carried it on his shoulder as if he had prepared himself. Then a fire snake rushed from the tube to the owner. It seemed like a shell. As an otaku, I was not very familiar with guns, but I had also watched the scene of the Afghan people fighting against the US military on TV, but I never thought that this scene would be staged on the streets of Xi'an.
The shells shattered the glass on both sides of the street and knocked the owner to the ground. I could smell the burnt smell coming from the owner. Just when I thought the battle was about to end, something that tested my comprehension occurred again.
The owner actually stood up. Not only that, he also became taller. His size was about 1.78 meters long, and his clothes were gone. His hideous body was revealed in the dim light, and a long tail appeared behind him.
This completely subverted my understanding. I realized that this was definitely not an ordinary gang fight. I wanted to escape from here quickly. Just as I was slowly crawling towards the entrance of the community, the changed car owner rushed towards the men in black in agile shape, and his sharp claws flashed coldly under the street lights.
However, the attack was repelled again. The man in black didn't know what weapon he used, and a loud bang destroyed the owner's body. He fell from the air and lay on the way to the entrance of the community. The blue eyes stared at me, unable to tell whether it was red or black liquid flowing out of his body, emitting a fishy smell.
I was shocked because I saw the non-human face of the car owner. Two long fangs appeared in his mouth, which looked more like a monster. Then a faint blue light ball flew out of the monster's mouth. The light ball circled around me twice, and then flew into my body.
The men in black on both sides of the street were surrounded by guns. I really couldn't stand this stimulation. I got up and ran forward frantically, and within two minutes, I could reach the entrance of the community. There were security guards at the entrance of the community. With such a loud noise, these security guards didn't come out to see it. It was so irresponsible.
The man in black did not shoot, so I ran into the door of the community. The security booth was pitch black, so I could only continue running forward, and then I bumped into one person, and both of us fell to the ground.
"A monster!"
I shouted loudly, only then did I dare to make a sound, because I could feel that the other person was alone. After experiencing a series of events just now, it was a very friendly feeling. However, I did not stop and got up and ran towards my building because I was afraid that the men in black behind me would chase after me.
I calmed down when I entered the elevator. I found that there was only one slipper left. I was scared when I remembered what happened just now. I opened the door and didn't dare to turn on the lights. I threw the plastic bag containing instant noodles on the table, threw it on the bed and covered it with a quilt, and shivered.
I was indeed frightened. Everything that happened tonight was beyond my cognition. This was not a magic movie, but it happened in front of me. The monster stared at me before he died, and the look of the monster staring at me like a nightmare constantly popping up in my mind.
I forced myself to do something to distract myself, but I didn't want to do anything, and I was afraid that those men in black would come to cause trouble for me.
Their daring to use artillery in the city of Xi'an means that they are definitely not underworld organizations, and they are probably relevant departments of the government. They have the right to investigate me. What worries me the most is the blue light ball that flies into my body. I always have some bad premonitions.
In my fear and worry, I fell asleep unknowingly, but I was having nightmares.
When I woke up from my irritable sleep, it was already dawn, and the dazzling sunlight shone in through the gaps in the curtains. I rubbed my eyes and a strong sense of hunger came in. Only then did I realize that I didn’t eat at all last night, and there were only three buckets of instant noodles in the room.
I looked out through the gaps in the curtains. There were many people walking downstairs, not seeing the police or being under martial law. It was like a normal day. The man in black did not come. I was a little dazed for a moment. Did everything last night be my imagination or a dream?
I decided to go down to take a look after eating instant noodles. After all, there was such a big noise last night, and the glass of the shops along the street was shattered, and it was impossible that no trace was left. If everything outside was normal, I would have to see a doctor. This situation was either paranoia or schizophrenia.
When I was washing my hands, I felt itchy on the back of my hand, and then I scratched it, but the more I scratched it, I looked more and more itchy. I looked carefully and saw that there was a layer of fine black substance on the back of my hand. It felt hard and had a very texture. But it didn't look like a skin disease, but it looked more like a scale or something.
This made me suddenly suspicious. I quickly took off my clothes and looked at them in the mirror. After careful inspection, I found that there was no abnormality, but there was a change on the back of my hand. Just when I was secretly grateful, the knock on the door sounded, which made my heart start to tighten again.
Have they come to the door? What should I do?
I put on my clothes and walked around the bathroom. The knock on the door continued to sound. Every time it sounded like a knock on my heart, I couldn't help but regret it. It would be great if I had escaped overnight last night. What would I do if they caught me? Will I use me for an experiment? I looked at the black substance on the back of my hand, which seemed to remind me of my miserable fate in the future.
But if they were government departments, where could I go to such a big Chinese?
The anxious knock on the door shows the impatientness of the people at the door, and the knocking on the door shows that they still maintain respect. It will be bad when they break into the door and carry out the arrest. I plucked myself up. I walked to the door, held the door handle, and opened the door carefully. I saw a girl in casual clothes raising her hand to knock on the door.
"Is that man last night you?" The pretty girl with a beautiful face stared at me with a scrutiny look.
"No, not me." I hurriedly denied.
This is somewhat different from the scene I expected. There are no policemen, no man in black with a stern face, and only a girl who doesn't look very reliable. I'd better deny it first.
"A man dares not admit that he has done something. You pushed me down last night without saying anything. Don't think about cheating. I have evidence. I still hurt my body now." The girl said angrily.
