NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1
Suddenly, a dull sound pierced his ears, as if something had hit the glass. It was so late at night and disturbed his dreams.
Yu Qing rubbed his eyes randomly, got out of bed with bare feet, and fumbled for the light switch by the window.
It was raining outside, and the white noise late at night gave people an inexplicable sense of peace.
Yu Qing touched a switch and was about to press it when he saw a flash of lightning suddenly pierce the night sky, and the roar of thunder reached his ears. He saw clearly the thing stuck to the glass – an eyeball!
A flattened eyeball, the whites of the eye were smudged in large areas, and the eyeball was tightly attached to the glass because of the sticky blood!
The blood around the whites of the eye was like tentacles, squirming and gripping the glass. Scarlet blood streaks crossed the pupil, the eyeball was only a few feet away from him.
The moment the lightning lit up, he and the eyeball were aligned, especially with the pupil. He could saw it clearly.
A chill ran down his back, Yu Qing’s fingertips trembled, his pupils widened, and his vision fell into darkness again as the lightning disappeared.
Then he heard the sound of something sliding down the glass.
Click, he turned on the light, and with the warm yellow light in the room, he saw only some scarlet and sticky scratches left on the window.
The eyeball fell to the ground unwillingly, and the tentacles made of thick blood were swinging wildly, and soon they were piled together with a piece of stumps and debris, lifeless.
Yu Qing raised his eyes and looked outside. In the dark night, the clowns were out again.
They moved extremely fast, and their strange bodies mixed with the raindrops and weird shapes. They were holding sharp knives and wearing deformed clown masks, and they were hunting and killing all “people” in the city.
Behind him, the TV in the living room buzzed, as if it had suddenly connected to some strange signal, and a voice came out intermittently: “…Mayor… zizizi…the latest announcement…the rules…”
“Clown….you could kill people at will…zizizi…dodge… please be honest with your parents, they…pop!”
Yu Qing’s hand tightened as he listened intently. Suddenly, the sound of the announcement stopped, and the sizzling sound caused by the current also dissipated.
He turned around quickly and looked at the door.
The warm light in the living room shone through the gap at the bottom of the bedroom door, his mother’s nagging and his father’s rebuttals could be heard. It was very warm and gave people the purest sense of security.
Yu Qing lowered his eyes, but his hands were held tighter and tighter…
Near the door, he heard his father talked: “It’s almost noon and Qingqing isn’t up yet. Please call him.”
His mother answered, “Let the child sleep more.”
“Then he should skip lunch?” Dad seemed a little angry: “Look at the time!”
Yu Qing lowered his head and looked at his watch – midnight.
His parents thought it was noon.
With his Adam’s apple rolling, Yu Qing took two deep breaths and finally raised his hand to push the door open.
.
As soon as he showed his head, his parents’ eyes fell on him, and the corners of their mouths were raised, almost salivating.
After a brief glance, Yu Qing stopped his trembling hands, and his eyes fell on the latest wall-mounted TV. “Dad…” He murmured: “Why… you turned off the TV?”
His father paused for a moment, and then his neck twisted 180 degrees at an extremely weird angle, his face was aligned with his back, and he smiled at him with his eyes bent.
The look was vicious and greedy, not like a father looking at his child, but more like… a poisonous snake looking at a rabbit.
At the same time, the TV that had been turned off for a long time flickered again, as if it were desperately reminding something: “Alert… Danger…!!”
However, maybe the signal was too weak, and it was impossible to restart it. No success.
The TV screen went black, and the room fell into oppressive silence again.
Dad stared at him, and his gentle voice penetrated Yu Qing’s eardrums: “You saw it too, the signals are messed up, nothing could be seen. There was nothing interesting to see. Stop sleeping and come here to eat.”
Yu Qing tightened his hand on the door, did not answer immediately.
He stared at his father closely, his slender eyelashes covering the dark and unclear emotions in his eyes. After a long while, he nodded and said with a smile: “Okay.”
After that, he took two steps back and slammed the door tightly.
The door was closed, and Yu Qing leaned against the wall, his tense head running rapidly, capturing the scattered information coming from the TV.
——Dad turned off the TV. Dad didn’t want him to see the news, so the news could be detrimental to his parents!
If it wasn’t good for his parents, it was good for him!
Then…
Yu Qing took two quick steps, took out something from the closet, and hid it in his large coat.
When he reopened the door, he seemed a little scared. He couldn’t control his emotions for a moment, and his voice was shaking when he blurted out: “Dad…”
Under the warm light, his father had returned to a normal posture.
Seeing Yu Qing was scared and aggrieved, a weird expression slowly showed on the Father’s slightly stiff old face.
Yu Qing continued: “I… I have something to tell you…”
After saying this, he walked to his father without saying a word and began to sob slowly.
His mother who loved her children couldn’t stand her child crying, so she simply stopped eating.
She washed off the bright red traces on her hands indiscriminately, and walked to Yu Qing’s side in a few steps. The weird expression on her face was exactly the same as his father’s, stiff and strange.
It seemed like… the face was deliberately moved into certain expression…
“Baby, what’s wrong, don’t cry.” A gentle female voice comforted him carefully: “You can tell Mom everything, we will face it together as a family.”
Yu Qing could feel that his parents loved him very much, their four eyes never left him, completely centered on him.
But his clasped palms were covered in layers of cold sweat.
He was an orphan and didn’t have parents.
