Volume 1: Chapter 2: Alice, Bad Days

【0 years old: You were born. 】

【Your parents are happy about your birth. 】

[3 years old: When other children are still learning to walk and speak, you have already demonstrated amazing talents.]

【Look! 】

This child can actually do addition and subtraction within three-digit numbers...

[7 years old: You and a few older kids went to steal watermelons from a wealthy family's melon field, but were discovered by a young boy who hunted wild animals.]

[You know that if you run faster than others at this moment, you can escape the fate of being punished.]

[So, you burst out at an astonishing speed, leaving those older kids far behind, completely thwarting their original plan to make you take the blame.]

[10 years old: At the elementary school sports meet, at the earnest request of your homeroom teacher, you won almost all the sports.]

The starting gun sounds, and you rush out like an arrow, your steps swift and graceful, your figure swift as the wind. You easily surpass the other runners, leaving them far behind on the track and field.

[The starting gun sounds, and you rush out like an arrow, easily surpassing the other competitors, the wind whistling in your ears, and ultimately, you win championships in multiple events at the sports meet.]

[Finally, you won the championship in multiple events, and you were shining on the podium.]

[However, everyone just thought this was just a gifted youth, not knowing that your speed had already far surpassed the world record.]

Age 12: You begin to notice that your body is subtly different from that of an average person. In the dead of night, you can always hear subtle sounds in the distance, as if the entire world is magnified by your perception.

[On a quiet night, when everything is still and everyone else is asleep, you can clearly hear subtle noises coming from miles away.]

The rustling of leaves, the sound of footsteps in the distance, these faint sounds are incredibly clear in your ears, making you vaguely aware that you may be fundamentally different from ordinary people.

[13 years old: This year, your appetite starts to grow. Your parents think this is a sign of growth, and your physical fitness has improved slightly!]

[At the dinner table, you always eat voraciously, your appetite far exceeds that of your peers.]

Your parents just think you are growing up, and they tell you to eat slowly with a smile.

[And you can also truly feel that strength is quietly growing in your body, your movements are becoming lighter and more agile, and your physical fitness is improving at a speed visible to the naked eye.]

14 years old: Knowing your unique physique, you yearn to become stronger, so you start overeating in an attempt to improve your physical fitness.

[However, overeating overloaded your body, and after eating once, you fainted.]

【Overeating is harmful to your health! 】

When you wake up in a hospital bed after a week of recuperation, although your body has not fully recovered, you vaguely feel that you are stronger than before. This extreme way also makes you realize the importance of health.

[15 years old: Once at a buffet, after feasting on a feast, you realize your physical fitness has stopped improving.]

[At that moment, you realize that your ability may have reached its limit. Although you feel unwilling, you have no choice but to accept this reality.]

[16 years old: A friend of my neighbor brought a young girl to my house. She exuded the aura of a wealthy family, and the sparkling amethyst jewelry she wore made her look even more gentle and charming.]

Her name is Alice

Her warm smile, friendly demeanor, and elegant demeanor instantly attracted everyone's attention, and those around her cast envious glances at her.

Many people envy this guy.

【And you can't help but wish him well in your heart: He really deserves to die! 】

[But the moment your eyes met hers, an inexplicable fear welled up in your heart.]

“Is this an illusion?”

You wonder to yourself, how could you be afraid of such a fragile-looking girl?

After that, you rarely saw her again. You only heard about her good deeds from her mother: bringing warmth to the elderly, distributing snacks to children, and making generous donations to orphanages...

Listening to this, you begin to suspect that your initial fear was just groundless speculation.

[However, the gears of fate turn quietly, and when you meet her again, that familiar fear will come over you again.]

On a quiet and harmonious morning, sunlight shines through the gaps in the curtains into the house, adding a touch of warmth and tranquility to the space.

At this time, Bai Ge's mother and a girl named Alice.

They walked in from outside, talking and laughing. Their laughter was like a spring breeze, making people feel extremely happy.

Bai Ge's mother spoke to you with a smile on her face as she entered the door.

"This is Alice! You should have heard of her!"

This girl is as perfect as the rumors say. Not only is she beautiful, but she is also kind-hearted and helpful.

She took the initiative to help Bai Ge's mother wash vegetables and cook, and even helped her clean the room, which made Bai Ge's mother praise her endlessly.

Bai Ge stood silently aside.

Looking quietly at this legendary perfect girl, every move she makes seems so elegant and graceful.

The moment their eyes met, a chill ran down their spine and up the back of their neck.

Dark currents surged deep within those amber pupils, like a whirlpool in the abyss, crushing the most hidden anxieties in his heart into dust.

Bai Ge suddenly felt his breathing tighten. The smiling girl in front of him seemed like a painted skin, with some inhuman existence hidden beneath the skin.

Her eyes were deep and mysterious, as if she could see through all the fears and anxieties in his heart.

Alice seemed to notice something was wrong with you.

She tilted her head slightly, looking at you with a hint of curiosity and concern.

"Your heartbeat is getting fast, is there something wrong?"

Alice tilted her head and moved closer, and the sweet scent of gardenia wrapped in the scent of shower gel hit her face.

Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her fingertips hovered above Bai Ge's wrist, vaguely probing it. The action seemed both concerned and like a test.

Bai Ge was very close to Alice.

So close that I could even smell the faint scent of shower gel on her body.

The smell is fresh and pleasant.

But it was in stark contrast to the fear in his heart.

Bai Ge's back tensed instantly, and the forced smile he put on looked uglier than crying. "I'm just... I'm a little nervous. I've never seen such a... such a perfect girl."

But underneath this is more of an indescribable fear and anxiety.

After hearing what you said, Alice smiled like the Madonna. That smile was warm and kind, as if it could melt all the ice.

"Thank you!"

She smiled and winked at him before gracefully turning and leaving your home.

Alice's figure gradually walked away in the sunshine, leaving behind a peaceful and beautiful scene.

When Bai Ge's mother saw your expression, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in you.

She understood why her eldest son felt embarrassed towards such an outstanding girl.

"Get out!"

Bai Ge's mother poked his forehead in frustration, not knowing that Bai Ge's own violent heartbeat was still echoing in his ears.

Bai Ge looked at the empty doorway, his nails dug deep into his palms, leaving crescent-shaped blood marks.

He knew very well that his fear was not groundless.

Although Alice looks so perfect on the surface, I always feel that she is hiding some unknown secrets.

Bai Ge told himself silently.

Be vigilant and don't be easily fooled by appearances.

[18 years old: This year, you have suggested moving many times, or tried other ways to leave this place.]

【But your parents always stubbornly refuse your request. 】

[As the stalemate continued day after day, even you gradually relaxed, leaving behind your former vigilance and anxiety.]

One day, you were severely scolded by your parents because of your unsatisfactory grades, and you were filled with annoyance.

To ease your melancholy, you grab your homemade fishing rod and head for a familiar fishing spot under the cover of night. The water shimmers with tiny silver glints, the night breeze brushes past your ears, and you imagine you'll find a moment of peace here.

[Suddenly, a meteor with a brilliant tail of flame streaked across the sky, instantly lighting up the entire night sky.]

You quickly pull out your phone, eager to capture this fleeting beauty and share it on social media.

[However, the signal bar at the top of the screen, which should have been flickering, disappeared, leaving only the eye-catching words "No Service."]

"What the hell is this, no signal?"

[Looking at your phone with no signal, you feel like today is incredibly unlucky.]

Volume 1: Chapter 3: Redemption! Bows ring at dawn!

You lowered your head, the empty fish bucket in your hands swaying gently with your steps, the metal handle scraping against the bucket wall, making a small sound.

The night on the way home was incredibly dark, as if even the moonlight had been swallowed up.

[Usually, with my extraordinary hearing, I could always catch the faint whispers from distant windows, or the ambiguous sounds coming from some hidden corners, but tonight, the world fell into an eerie silence.]

[This kind of silence is like the suffocation before the storm, making it hard to breathe.]

You quicken your pace, feeling a surge of unease.

[The moment I opened the door, a chill and a dead silence hit me.]

The room was pitch black. There was no sound of my father's thunderous snoring, no rustling of my mother's clearing of dishes. Only the stagnant air silently told of something unusual.

[And so you arrived at the door of your parents' house.]

[Your choice is...]

1. Knock on the door

【2. Kick open】

My heart beat like a drum, and fear and panic instantly overwhelmed my rationality.

You suddenly kick open the half-closed door. Amidst the flying wood chips, the scene inside the house catches your eye—

【Your parents just lay quietly in bed.】

【Slept peacefully.】

Their faces showed the tranquility of sleep.

But the bed sheet stained scarlet by blood, under the cold moonlight, silently tells the cruel truth. This scene is both horrifying and sad.

Bai Ge was stunned, his mind went blank.

He couldn't believe that his parents had passed away forever after just five hours of night fishing, their lives disappearing so quietly.

As if he was suddenly seized by some terrible premonition, he madly broke open the neighbor's door.

The loud crash echoed over the silent town, but received no response.

Every house was in darkness, not a single light was on for him, and the whole town seemed like a tomb shrouded in death.

The moment he opened the door, Bai Ge felt a chill running from the soles of his feet to his head.

The miserable situation of the neighboring family was exactly the same as that of his parents. They were also "sleeping" peacefully with an eerie calmness on their faces, but they could never wake up again.

Bai Ge was like a trapped beast that had lost its mind, checking the houses around him one by one.

Those familiar friends, those strangers I have never met, wherever I go, there is deathly silence.

Every time a door was opened, a face frozen in death appeared, and the air was filled with the disgusting smell of blood and decay.
