I'm being held captive by a monster

Chapter 5 Look at the monster you mentioned, does it look like this?

"...Sister Chan? Oh my god... I was scared to death..."

But when he saw clearly that the person pushing the cart was Xu Can, who had just finished evening self-study, Lin Xing'an breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly he even felt like he had survived a disaster.

Because he was sure that Xu Can was human.

Xu Can is the daughter of my father’s colleague Lao Xu.

Six years ago, on the full moon day in the hospital, Lin Xing'an heard Old Xu say with his own ears that he would eat his daughter when she turned eighteen.

In Lin Xing'an's impression, Xu Can's academic performance has always been among the best.

Especially in mathematics and physics, which are the nightmares of most students, Xu Can even got full marks.

"An An, what are you doing sneaking out on your bike so late at night? And you're riding so fast, it's so dangerous!"

"Luckily, there was a power outage at school today and we finished our evening study session early, so I happened to see you."

"What if you meet some bad guy? How sad will your mother be?"

"What are you thinking about? Come on! Sister will take you home."

Xu Can tapped Lin Xing'an's head and criticized him seriously.

"Sister Can, when is your birthday?"

Lin Xing'an ignored her words and asked directly.

"…My birthday?"

Such a sudden question made Xu Can stunned for a moment, "What birthday or not? Go home! It's so late."

"Sister Chan, this is very important. When is your eighteenth birthday?"

"...next Sunday, what's the matter?"

"Next Sunday... there are still ten days left, and it's before the college entrance exam. Really..."

Lin Xing'an looked at Xu Can's haggard face due to staying up late to review, and felt a tightness in his chest.

The result of working so hard day after day was that he was eaten by his own father less than a month before the college entrance examination...

If I really wait until my birthday to see my father transformed into a monster...

Hiss, how desperate Xu Can must be...

Everything is a scam, all efforts are a joke, and all life is an illusion.

The whole point of her existence is to grow up to eighteen and then be eaten...

The more Lin Xing'an thought about it, the more powerless and heartbroken he felt.

After a brief hesitation, he made up his mind and grabbed Xu Can's arm.

"Sister Can, you may find what I'm saying incredible, but I promise it's all true."

"This concerns your...life."

Lin Xing'an took a deep breath, looked into Xu Can's eyes and said in a deep voice.

Although Xu Can probably won't believe this truth.

Although he seemed to be just wasting time now.

But if Xu Can had really listened, or even paid more attention, the result might have been different.

And if he didn't tell her, Xu Can would never let a six-year-old child like him leave at this time.

Once Xu Can takes her back, she will definitely tell Yu Yu the next day and tell her to take good care of the child...

Telling the truth might help turn things around.

"…It's about my life?"

Lin Xingan's serious tone and formal expression made Xu Can freeze in his tracks, "...An An, you..."

"Sister Can, please listen to me first."

"Actually, my parents, your father, they are not human, they are monsters."

"They keep us like pets, or livestock."

"They will eat us when we are one month old, seven years old, or eighteen years old."

Lin Xing'an said in one breath.

But Xu Can's expression did not show the disbelief or absurdity that Lin Xing'an had imagined.

Instead, he calmed down immediately after a brief shock, frowning and looking thoughtful.

"Sister Chan, I know this is just... too bizarre, like a six-year-old kid like me can say so much."

"And I don't know how to prove it. I don't have any direct evidence at the moment."

"You certainly don't believe it, but..."

"I believe you."

Xu Can suddenly interrupted Lin Xing'an.

“…You…ah?”

"An An, I believe you."

Xu Can nodded affirmatively.

This time it was Lin Xing'an's turn to be shocked.

He never expected that Xu Can would believe it so unquestioningly.

Even for himself, it was unbelievable to say this.

"An An, I'm sorry. Actually...I've known for a long time that your parents are not your biological parents."

"My father got you through...some means..."

A hint of guilt appeared on Xu Can's face.

"My dad really doesn't like electronic devices. The cell phone he owns now is an old-fashioned one from ten years ago."

"He would write everything down in a notebook, including his work records at the hospital."

"Four years ago, when I was in the second grade of junior high school, I flipped through his notebook out of curiosity and found a lot of information about babies in it."

"All the babies were numbered like... objects."

"Written on the back is their gender, blood type, date of birth, place of birth, whether they have a birthmark, and 'parents.'"

Xu Can raised his head, his voice trembling slightly.

"At first I thought it was just normal baby information until I saw you."

"An An, your number is 0021. I saw Aunt Yu and Uncle Lin's names written behind you."

"But Aunt Yu wasn't pregnant at all at that time. Although I had some doubts, I didn't pay much attention to it."

"Until the next day, Aunt Yu held you in her arms and said your name was Lin Xing'an and that you were her child."

Xu Can looked at Lin Xing'an with a complicated expression.

"0021..."

Lin Xing'an repeated the number and shuddered.

Does this mean that six years ago, twenty babies were raised by monsters after Dr. Xu's operations alone? Behind each baby is a human couple, but also a pair of monsters.

That means there are quite a few of these monsters...

Moreover, their power is so great that they can quietly take human babies into their own names...

Lin Xing'an quietly clenched his fists.

He didn't even dare to imagine how those human parents who were deprived of their children felt...

“It was only after Aunt Yu that I started to pay attention to this matter.”

"I was volunteering at my dad's hospital during the summer vacation, and we were suddenly rushed to the emergency room the night of your full moon."

"I only had the chance to look at his notes again when my dad went to help."

"If it's what you said, my God, so many children..."

Xu Can's body trembled, and he covered his face and stopped talking.

Lin Xing'an's mood also became a little heavy.

But now is no time to be sentimental.

"Sister Can, once this kind of monster realizes it has been discovered, it will immediately kill humans."

"And I also heard your father say with my own ears that he would eat you when you turned eighteen."

"While there's still a chance to leave, let's go together to the station and leave this city."

Lin Xing'an lifted the car.

"……it is good!"

Xu Can hesitated in silence for two seconds and then nodded firmly.

"Let's take the road that leads to the construction site. There's no one there at night, and we can get to the station quickly."

"I'll buy a ticket at the window for the North City train. We'll get off after two or three stops, and then get on a train going the other way right on the platform."

She also got on the bicycle and said.

"it is good!"

Lin Xing'an was shocked and got on the bike as well.

The two of them left the community from the west gate, one in front and one behind, and rode onto the dirt road of the construction site, which was only illuminated by moonlight.

Following the light of Xu Can's flashlight in front of him, Lin Xing'an suddenly felt like he was dreaming.

After running into Xu Can, he was already ready to start over.

Unexpectedly, there was a ray of hope.

With Xu Can together, the chances of both of them leaving will greatly increase!

When we arrive in other cities, we can take care of each other.

"I didn't expect Sister Can to believe it so easily..."

Now that he thinks about it carefully, Lin Xing'an still finds it a little unbelievable.

The reason Xu Can gave just now only shows that there is something wrong with Dr. Xu and he is dealing with certain babies.

But there is no way to confirm that Dr. Xu is a monster.

Things like monsters...even if you see them with your own eyes, it's hard to believe.

But Xu Can not only believed him, but also took him away...

"An An, be careful, there are a lot of gravel on the road."

Xu Can in front slowed down and waited for Lin Xing'an to ride beside her.

"An An, when did you find out?"

She held the flashlight in one hand and the handlebars with the other.

The white light flickered and hit her face from below, which looked inexplicably terrifying.

"I discovered it by accident."

The road surface gradually became bumpy, with cement scaffolding on both sides.

The dark rooms inside were like huge mouths.

The faint moonlight actually highlights the depth of the darkness.

Apart from the sounds of the bicycle and the two people's breathing, the surroundings were eerily quiet. Lin Xing'an even wanted to make some noise.

After riding in silence for a while, he glanced at Xu Can beside him and felt inexplicably nervous.

"Don't let your imagination run wild. At least Sister Chan is definitely a human."

Lin Xing'an shook his head and kicked hard.

Dr. Xu’s words at the full moon were still echoing in his ears.

Besides, even if Xu Can was really a monster, he was dead the moment he told the truth.

"An An, you're so smart that you can figure it out at such a young age."

"Have you ever seen the true faces of those monsters?"

Xu Can stared at Lin Xing'an and asked.

Riding the big bike, she had unknowingly fallen half a body length behind Lin Xing'an.

"I have seen."

"Oh? You've seen them? Then can you tell me what they look like?"

Xu Can swallowed, and his voice trembled inexplicably.

"They are...the kind that are very..."

"It's ugly and disgusting, isn't it?"

"Yes! It's hideous, ugly, and disgusting. It's hard to describe in words."

Lin Xing'an's mind flashed with the changes in his father and mother's bodies during the full moon.

"...It's hard to describe? Oh..."

"An An, then look at the monster you mentioned..."

“Is it like this~?”

The flashlight suddenly disappeared.

The moonlight was blocked by dark clouds.

The light is bit by bit eaten away by darkness.

Xu Can's faint voice came from behind Lin Xing'an.

The cold breath gently hit Lin Xing'an's neck.

"Hahahaha……"
