I'm being held captive by a monster

Chapter 16 A chicken can’t escape the chicken coop
"Twelve forty..."

Half an hour later, Lin Xing'an casually wiped the rain off his face with his hand.

"Train G976, departing from this station and terminating at Beichengdong Station, is about to begin ticket inspection at gates A7 and B7."

A reminder sound rang in the station, and he squinted at the quartz clock on the train station that was flashing green light.

"Only two hours have passed..."

Lin Xing'an remembered that it was around ten fifty when he left home.

Although only two hours had passed, Lin Xing'an felt as tired as if he had died twice.

The only thing that kept me riding here in the rain was the belief that I could leave home.

However, because of the sudden heavy rain, Lin Xing'an didn't see a single person along the way.

"I don't know if I can get in..."

After parking his bicycle on the side of the road, Lin Xing'an, who was soaked all over, observed the situation silently for a while.

Now you have to scan your ID card to enter the waiting room and platform.

Children also have to be accompanied by their parents through the artificial passage.

He looked at the train information again.

Because of the heavy rain, the big screen is now all red, indicating delays.

The buses at this time are all green buses that cross the country and often take forty to fifty hours.

Besides, Nancheng is a first-tier city after all.

So there are quite a few people carrying large and small bags and bringing children with them.

There was an uncle standing at the manual ticket gate, and he didn't look very serious.

"It's okay. If that doesn't work, you can buy a platform ticket and get in."

Lin Xing'an touched his trouser pocket.

Inside was a palm-sized notebook left by the brother who hanged himself on the seventh floor.

There was also more than twenty yuan in change he took from home.

It's soaked, but definitely still usable.

Buying tickets requires contact with people, and if they suddenly show concern for you, it will be troublesome.

"call……"

After his body was no longer so wet, Lin Xing'an quietly lined up at the back of the line.

There is a middle-aged woman in front.

"Little boy, why are you soaked? Where are your parents?"

But before it was Lin Xing'an's turn, a flight attendant in uniform raised his eyebrows and looked at him.

"Did this child get separated from his parents? He's so wet. I saw him standing at the door the whole time."

After he said that, the aunt in front also turned around.

I'm really afraid of what will happen...

Lin Xing'an's heart sank.

He originally wanted to follow this aunt in.

"Ah? Lost?"

“…No, they’re…inside. They’re inside.”

Seeing that the enthusiastic young man had already taken out the walkie-talkie, Lin Xing'an hurriedly lowered his head and answered timidly, his voice trembling.

"Your parents have already been in? Why didn't they take you with them? How could this parent just leave their child here?"

He frowned and looked at Lin Xing'an, who muttered but didn't answer.

Just like a six-year-old kindergarten kid caught in the rain.

"Brother Zhang, let me take this child in to have a look."

"Yeah, go ahead."

The ticket inspector waved his hand and opened the door.

"...Thank you, uncle. I...I can go in alone."

Lin Xing'an said quickly.

"What?! Uncle?! Damn, I'm a 00s kid! I just started working!"

The flight attendant sighed painfully amid the laughter of his colleagues.

Then he ignored Lin Xing'an's request, took his hand and led him towards the waiting room.

"Thank you, big brother. I can handle it on my own. I won't bother you anymore."

On the escalator, Lin Xing'an wanted to pull his hand back.

But the young man held it surprisingly tightly.

Lin Xing'an frowned and looked up at the young man next to him.

"Stop talking. Even if you call me brother now, it won't change the fact that I'm heartbroken."

The flight attendant's face still showed a trace of hurt from being called uncle by a person born in the 00s.

But the hand tightened like a vice.

"elder brother……?"

Lin Xing'an felt something was wrong.

But the flight attendant didn't say anything, just held his hand silently.

"Little boy, who is your parent?"

There is a huge waiting room with dozens of ticket gates.

The delayed cars on the big screen were all red.

Looking around, the bus was full of passengers carrying large and small bags.

"It seems to be over there..."

"Over there? Oh come on, human, stop pretending, this is the train station."

The flight attendant suddenly chuckled.

"Don't you think about it? We work so hard to raise people and animals. How can we let them go so easily?"

"But this is the first time I've seen one as big as you, little genius!" He scratched his head and marveled.

The pupils in the backlight seemed to shrink to the size of a needle tip.

The moment he was caught in his gaze, Lin Xing'an suddenly felt as if the blood in his body had stopped.

"I……"

Lin Xing'an's face turned pale.

It was as if a string in his brain suddenly broke, and he clearly felt that he had lost control of his body.

Like being trapped in a ghost wall, first the limbs became stiff, and then the mouth closed tightly and could not make any sound.

Then his legs lifted up without his control.

Step by step, he followed the flight attendant like a puppet.

He walked into the staff office next door and stood upright in front of the door.

"Boom boom boom!"

When he saw the scene in this house, Lin Xing'an's pupils contracted.

Blood, blood, blood, all blood!

Blood poured from the disemboweled body on the table.

"Sizzle!"

Above the corpse was a monster shaped like a fat pig.

Its entire fat pig brain was buried in the chest of the corpse, making a disgusting sound.

But Lin Xing'an still couldn't control his body.

There is no smell of blood either.

In a trance, he even felt that he was in a bloody and terrifying VR game.

And when the monster noticed someone coming in, it raised its head.

Warm blood drops splashed onto Lin Xing'an's face and slid down his nose.

"Brother, today's harvest is quite good. I was able to meet two people and animals in one night. That's more people and animals than I saw in the first twenty years!"

"It's really worth it that I spent three years trying to get in, brother."

The flight attendant closed the door.

"Hehehe, I told you this was a lucrative job."

"But brother, can we just eat it like this? After all, these are human animals raised by others. Wouldn't it be a bit..."

"Hurry... uh, urry... Of course not. We are just doing our job. Who dares to object?"

The monster on the table wiped his mouth casually.

"People and animals who want to leave...hiccup, must be cleared out immediately!"

While burping, he pulled the head off the corpse and threw it into the blood on the ground.

"Gululu..."

His head rolled twice and faced Lin Xing'an.

"Xinxin...Brother...?"

Seeing the face with eyes open and filled with fear, Lin Xing'an's pupils suddenly contracted.

This turned out to be the older brother of his kindergarten classmate Xinxin...

The big brother who always picked up Xinxin from school and bought her snacks was actually...

Lin Xing'an just felt dazed.

"Eat, eat."

The monster pulled out a stool, glanced at Lin Xing'an, and then buried his head in eating again.

"Okay brother."

The flight attendant turned his head.

"vomit!"

Lin Xing'an also regained control of his body in an instant.

The pungent smell of blood burst out from his nose like a mountain torrent, making his stomach churn like a raging sea!

But he didn't dare to hesitate at all, turned around and opened the door.

"Gudong..."

But the scene outside made Lin Xing'an stand there in a daze.

The originally bright waiting hall had become abandoned for decades, giving people a strange feeling of discomfort.

The lights were still on, the floor was clean, but...

Lin Xing'an's eyelashes trembled slightly.

He saw it.

All the people waiting for the bus disappeared.

In the mirror, on the ground, there is no reflection, no shadow...

"Human and animal, understand?"

"A chicken can't escape the chicken coop."

Came the flight attendant's voice.

Lin Xing'an felt that his physical strength was draining away like a deflated balloon.

The smell of blood came from the tip of my throat.

"Gudong..."

Lin Xing'an frowned and slowly lowered his head.

There was a hole in his chest, and blood was gushing out.

And that beating heart was held in the hands of the flight attendant.

"Brother, hey, it smells so good!"
