After a while, I was so tired that it was hard for me to keep thinking. My eyelids became heavier and heavier, and before I knew it, I fell asleep. Song Ji seemed to be still talking to himself, but I no longer had the energy to listen.

……

I was exhausted and slept soundly until dawn.

At least, that's what I think.

However, late at night, a chill woke me up from my sleep.

I don’t know what time it is now, but my strength seems to have recovered for the most part, and I’m no longer sleepy. I can’t figure out where the chill comes from, but there’s nothing I can do, so I quickly fall asleep again.

Out of boredom, I reached out and casually touched a box containing a movie DVD in the dark.

The cold moonlight penetrated into the wooden house through the window, bringing a faint glow. I casually played with the box in my hand, and suddenly, I felt that the surface of the box was rough, as if it was coated with something dirty.

I took it in front of my eyes and looked at it carefully. In the dim light, I could see what seemed to be a few words. Out of boredom, I quietly got up, took the DVD box, and walked out of the wooden house.

Outside the wooden house, I finally saw the words clearly in the moonlight.

I saw black bloodstains written stroke by stroke on the smooth surface of the DVD box.

Run away!

In an instant, my whole body trembled, and the biting cold spread from the soles of my feet all the way to my face.

Click. At this moment, the sound of the wooden door being pushed open was heard. I turned around suddenly and saw a black, non-human creature leaning against the door, looking at me coldly, like a demon.

rest for a day

As the title says, I don’t have time to update today, sorry.

Nothing special happened, I just couldn’t find the time to update. My life has been dull as water, with nothing exciting happening.

There is no childhood sweetheart, no windfall, and no system plug-in, but sometimes I can't help but think about it.

Why did I only play with boys when I was a child, and let so many little girls pass by me in vain?

It seems like I have gone off topic, ahem, let’s get back to the topic. I’m posting this chapter today to tell you all.

I am doing fine. I will update tomorrow, June 2nd, and everything will be back to normal.

If possible, I will make up for the updates I missed in the past two days tomorrow.

That’s it, I’m a healing writer, Big Sin, thank you all for your support.

Chapter 22: Movie Maniac (VI)

The moonlight was cold, and its silver glow fell on the ground like a layer of shallow pool water. The surroundings were eerily quiet, and the chirping of birds and insects seemed to have been startled by something terrifying. They lost their sounds and became silent.

In the slightly chilly evening breeze, I stared at that black, devil-like creature. The creepy chill penetrated into my skin, making my facial muscles twitch unnaturally.

The unknown monster stared at me quietly, its pupils emitting green fluorescence under the moonlight, but it did not have the savagery of a wild beast. Instead, it was like a calm hunter, quietly observing its prey, waiting for the moment to kill it with one blow.

At this moment, when my strength has recovered, I know exactly what I should do.

Snapped!

I turned around suddenly, put my right foot on the ground, and ran forward madly.

This kind of ghost thing is undoubtedly not something I can deal with now. Even if I am immortal, I still have to be wary of whether this monster has any strange abilities.

The most important thing is that this monster does not look like a beast without high intelligence, and it is definitely not a big black bear.

Song Ji! Did this guy lie to me?!

When I fled, the monster behind me did not catch up immediately, but stayed there leisurely, allowing me to escape from his sight.

I didn't bother to think about anything else and just ran forward with all my might. However, in the pitch-black night, I couldn't recognize the road at all and ran in a very awkward manner.

The soil under my feet was uneven, and I would step into the mud from time to time. I fell several times along the way, then kept getting up and continuing to run.

Just like when I was walking alone at night as a child, I could feel that there was a pair of eyes behind me, staring at me closely.

After running for half an hour, a corpse suddenly appeared in front of me.

I stopped in astonishment and looked at the body which was only bones left. I saw bones scattered everywhere on the soft soil, especially the skull and torso, which were far apart.

It can be seen that the poor guy was dismembered alive before he died.

"Ugh."

I sighed and gave up the idea of ​​running away. I realized belatedly that it was impossible to compete with that strange creature in speed.

Okay, let me sort out the situation.

My strength has almost recovered, but that doesn't mean much. With my current physical strength, I can only fight with ordinary people at most, and the pistol I carried before had long disappeared in the river.

Want to use new abilities?

But I have just recovered my strength. If I use my ability of transformation again, I will have to lie in bed for another day.

What a terrible situation.

I sat down on the ground, gasping for breath, and picked up a bone from the ground, using it as a makeshift weapon.

This is somewhat disrespectful to the dead, but I can't care less now.

When I sat next to the pile of bones, I discovered that next to the bones, there was a piece of clothing that had not completely rotted away. The only difference was that the material of the clothing was a bit strange. It was orange-yellow in color and too thick. It was not made of cloth.

Rather than clothes, it is more like protective clothing.

Looking at the white bones in front of me, I suddenly remembered what Song Ji said during the day.

Everyone will be killed by the black bear far away after he wakes up.

And now I seem to be experiencing this statement exactly. The strange creature seemed to intentionally let the person escape first, and then he would come from behind and kill the person far away from the cabin.

Song Ji...is he the monster? Other than that, I can’t think of any other possibility.

My expression became a little complicated. Song Ji's optimistic and free-spirited appearance during the day was still vivid in my mind. It was hard to imagine that he was the huge black bear I mentioned.

Snap! The sound of branches being crushed came from behind me. At the same time, a huge shadow completely enveloped my body. Under the pull of the moonlight, the huge shadow was hideous and weird, giving people the most primitive fear.

I sighed and turned slowly. The moment I turned around, a figure as big as a hill came into my sight.

The monster at this moment no longer looked the same as it did at the beginning. It had become more than three meters tall, with black hair all over its body. It really looked more like a giant black bear.

But those green eyes still didn't have a trace of wildness, they just looked at me quietly, like a human.

A dark cloud slowly floated over and blocked the moonlight. I tried to raise my head and looked up at the huge monster in front of me that looked like a black bear. My brain suddenly twitched and I swung the white bones in my hand and hit it hard.

Crack! With a crisp sound, the bones broke in half.

My palms were hurting from the shock, and I took a deep breath and whispered.

"It looks like a bad movie."

The next moment, a huge black palm came with a sound of breaking through the air, and my body was instantly thrown backwards, falling into the distance like a meteorite.

Under the terrifying force, several ribs in my chest were broken, and I rolled several times on the rugged ground before I finally stopped.

I endured the severe pain, buried my face in the water like a corpse, and began to play dead.

Step, step, step.

Heavy footsteps came slowly, and I was so nervous that I even felt my heartbeat beat in the same rhythm as the monster's steps.

The monster didn't seem to be sure whether I was really dead. When it came to my side, it punched me in the head without thinking.

Boom! With a loud bang, my head was hammered into the soil. I clenched my teeth and refused to make any sound, even though I felt my skull was about to be deformed.

Despite the severe pain, my consciousness became clearer and I became more sensitive to the pain.

The monster had no purpose, it just wanted to vent its anger, it punched me again and again, as if it wanted to beat me into a pile of meat paste.

I said nothing and tried hard to play the role of a corpse. My face was completely pressed into the mud and I couldn't see. A strange earthy smell forced its way into my nose along with the mud.

One punch, two punches, three punches.

No matter how I played the role of the corpse, the monster showed no intention of stopping. Just when I was about to bear the increasingly exaggerated pain, a big hand suddenly grabbed my hair and forcibly pulled my body up.

But it was that black bear-like monster that lifted my body and forced me to look at him.

When our eyes met, I clearly saw the mockery and disdain in the other's eyes.

Damn, this monster knew from the beginning that I was pretending to be dead.

The next moment, this black bear-like monster made the voice of Song Ji.

"You look like a great toy."

After saying that, the black bear-like monster raised his hand and threw me far away like throwing away garbage, and spoke slowly.

"Keep running. I'll give you an hour this time."

Chapter 23: Putting It All Together (I)

"Keep running. I'll give you an hour this time."

I rubbed my legs in embarrassment and stood up from the ground with a gloomy look on my face.

The fact that he pretended to be dead has been exposed, but I think Song Ji's state will not last until dawn. As long as I continue to persist and delay the time as much as possible, as long as I can make it to daytime, it will be my victory.

It's just... frustrating.

I exhaled a breath of foul air, and the damaged parts of my body healed quickly. It wouldn't be long before I could move again.

But, I don’t want to leave.

I stood there, moving my broken wrist, with my back to the strange creature, and asked softly.

"Are you Song Ji?"

"Please don't bring up the old-fashioned setting of dual personality at this time. I will really throw up."

My question made the strange creature stunned for a moment. I thought that no one had ever asked him such a question. The evening breeze was blowing gently, and after a moment of silence, the voice belonging to Song Ji slowly sounded behind me.

"I can answer your questions, but do you really want to waste time running away?"

"That's not wise."

Crackling, all over my body, there was a crisp sound of bones twisting. This was my bones returning to their original positions. Although it was a little painful, the sound was really nice to hear.

I turned around slowly, my expression returned to calm, and I spoke to the monster in front of me in a nonchalant tone, as if I was chatting casually.

"I don't mind the time."

Hearing this, the strange creature's eyes lit up with a strange light, and it seemed to be interested in me. He raised his fist with a grin, and his thick fingers made crackling sounds, and he replied coldly.

"Interesting guy, it doesn't hurt to tell you."

"But I don't know the answer to the question either. After all, my memory is not complete."

"Don't think about delaying time. My status has nothing to do with time. It just depends on my mood."

"I want to keep this up, and I can keep this up forever."

I nodded slightly. It was good enough to have a rational conversation. I didn't expect anything else.

"New question, how many people have you killed?"

"Why do you want to kill people like this?"

The monster's eyes flickered, and a hint of violence flashed in his emerald green pupils. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing his snow-white and sharp fangs, and he laughed mockingly.

"It's just a trained instinct."

"Since I became conscious, you humans have been teaching me to kill people. Of course, I enjoy it myself, so I have no reason to resist."

Human training? This is such a confusing answer that I didn’t dwell on it any further. Instead, I asked.

"What on earth are you?"

When I asked this question, I clearly saw that the monster's face turned ugly. He did not continue to answer my question, but began to grind his teeth.

I don't know what I said was wrong, but even if I knew, I had no intention of apologizing, so I just sighed softly.

"it's a pity."

"I haven't met someone as optimistic as you in a long time."

The monster still didn't answer for a long time. Instead, it bent its body like a wild beast and squeezed out a few words from its sharp fangs.
