Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

Chapter 1 A Bad Day

"Sorry, we're out of curry fried noodles bread."

The young man behind the counter scratched his head guiltily. He always felt that the customer's eyes were a little scary. "We also have pineapple pie and cream cake here..."

It is now 22:57 late at night and the bakery is about to close.

“Buckwheat bread.”

After a long silence, Duan Mingyuan finally spoke.

One of his mottos in life is not to eat sweets at night.

According to his original plan, he was going to get to the bakery only two blocks away from the company before the fried noodles and bread were sold out. However, just as he was about to punch out, he received a text message from the section chief.

"There are a few details in the report that need to be revised tonight."

This forced him to go back to his desk. By the time he finished modifying the report, the number on the mobile phone screen had reached 22:41.

As expected, the curry fried noodles bread that we had originally intended as a midnight snack were sold out. In the bread cabinet, apart from the leftover sweets, there was only dry and hard buckwheat bread.

Duan Mingyuan took the package and before he took a few steps, a bolt of thunder streaked across the night sky.

The weather forecast didn't say it would rain today.

Just as he was thinking this, heavy rain came down, almost blocking his vision. He had to find a place nearby to shelter from the rain. The road was empty and there was not even the shadow of a taxi.

I took out my cell phone and saw a red exclamation mark on it again.

"Brother Duan, I have completed the resignation procedures today. Thank you for your care all the time. I will give you the cartoon cat calendar. It is on my computer desk. You can pick it up when you go to work tomorrow~"

"Xiao Duan, Xiao Tang completed the resignation procedures today. You were her supervisor during her internship, so you should be more familiar with her. Go and hand over her work after work tomorrow."

One came from a junior whom he had brought over during the internship period, and the other came from the section chief.

But more importantly, in the upper right corner of the screen, the battery icon with only half a bar of power left kept flashing, completely extinguishing Duan Mingyuan's idea of ​​watching a few videos.

I opened the package in silence, and the dry bread tasted bitter.

This sudden rainstorm lasted for more than an hour, and the phone's battery ran out of power. When early morning came, the screen went black, which meant that the last subway had left.

Before setting off again, Duan Mingyuan walked to the trash can on the side of the road and threw the crumpled packaging bag into it.

Let's walk home.

Everyone has bad luck sometimes, and the most important thing for adults is good emotional management.

He reminded himself in his heart.

I didn’t get to have the dinner I wanted, my clothes were soaked by the sudden rainstorm, my phone ran out of battery, and I missed the last subway. But everything has two sides, which means that it is impossible for a more unfortunate situation to happen.

What's more, the air was much fresher after the rain, and there were almost no pedestrians on the street, allowing him to temporarily put aside his tedious work and fully enjoy his time alone.

It was about a 40-minute walk home, so he could get home before 1 a.m., put his clothes in the washing machine, take a shower, and go to bed at 1 a.m., which would ensure at least five hours of full sleep.

Just as Duan Mingyuan had thought, the streets were unobstructed after midnight and his journey was relatively smooth.

Until, an uninvited guest blocked his way.

This is the last and deepest alley before reaching home. The street light in the alley has been broken for two years and no one has repaired it.

The light flickered, like a scene from a horror movie. The night sky above had been dyed red at some point, and the moon behind the clouds had become a wide-open eye. The monster had crawled out of the garbage dump.

It has a human body, and its limbs and head have swollen into tumors. At the front end of the tumor on its head, a mouth is opened, revealing a row of sharp teeth. Its mouth opens and closes as if it is chewing something.

The monster sensed Duan Mingyuan's arrival. It turned around and looked at him with its "face" that was no longer equipped with facial features.

There were meaningless whispers mixed in with the growl. It leaned down, and its fat and swollen hands touched the wall. The flesh buds growing from the wall extended towards him like tangled tree roots.

Duan Mingyuan had to stop.

It turns out that a person’s fortune can continue to decline, just like funds and stocks that keep losing money, and a rebound from the bottom only exists in beautiful imaginations.

Well, what could be more unlucky than encountering a monster on your way home at night?
That was probably when the monster appeared, a girl who looked very suspicious at first glance also appeared.

The girl stood on the street corner, staring at him with her amber eyes, "Among every thousand people, there will be one person like you."

The meaningless opening remarks are like tempting people in desperate situations to make a deal with the devil.

The girl has a pair of pointed ears on her head and a big furry tail. Her clothes make her look like a monk in a Taoist temple. Coupled with her delicate facial features, if she were in other occasions, she would definitely give people a completely different feeling.

She held up a red umbrella to block the red moonlight. She smiled, her eyes seemed to be flowing with water waves. She slowly extended her left hand to Duan Mingyuan, inviting him, "You can sense their existence. I am here for this reason, to guide you to gain the power to fight against them."

The crawling sounds were getting closer.

The white tumors growing on the wall formed a spider web shape, covering the entire alley. The monster crawling on the ground used its hands and feet to crawl towards him.

Its movements were not fast, but they were extremely oppressive, and its mouth opened and closed as if it was trying to swallow him into its stomach.

Duan Mingyuan suddenly smiled with relief.

This is the last hurdle before reaching home.

Under the woman's astonished gaze, he did not retreat but instead took a step forward, heading straight towards the approaching monster.

The moment the two sides met, he raised his right foot and kicked the monster's chin. Something flew out and disappeared into the night sky at an astonishing speed.

The "spider web" on the wall receded like the tide, and the alley soon returned to its original appearance.

The silvery moonlight paved the way ahead, and at his feet there appeared a body with half of its body missing, and a green sticky liquid flowed all over the ground.

Duan Mingyuan did not stop. He ignored the fox girl on the corner and walked straight past the mutilated body, thus releasing the bad mood that had accumulated throughout the day.

From this perspective, the encounter with the monster was actually the beginning of his good fortune.

What a bad day.

His gaze lingered on the remains for a moment, and his frowning brows relaxed.

"Thank you."

Duan Mingyuan didn't know where Mr. Monster came from or why he appeared here, but it was the appearance of Mr. Monster that saved him.

So that he won't bring the accumulated stress and bad mood home.
