January 17
Today, my condition has improved a bit. The noisy sounds in my ears have not only completely disappeared, but even the pain in my chest has lessened significantly.
Or perhaps it’s not so much lessened, as that warm sensation has grown increasingly intense, as if a fire is burning in my chest.
Strangely enough, this warmth has become much more bearable. Many times, feeling the heat in my chest, I even find it somewhat comforting...
I must have been in pain for too long, to the point where I've developed an immunity to it; otherwise, it wouldn't feel this way.
Moreover, I had that same nightmare again last night.
It was still the same Dark Night Sky, still the Green Moon.
However, this time the fellow that jumped out from the moon was not the same monster as before.
She was very slender, very beautiful, and quite enchanting.
Although I could only vaguely see her blurred figure and couldn’t make out her face, I understood that she was a beauty.
Then I woke up again.
A deep fear filled my body; this beauty carried an ominous and evil aura just like the previous Giant Monster.
My heart raced with terror.
I felt as if something dreadful was gradually tightening its grip on me, and I was slowly losing something precious—how terrifying.
Of course it was terrifying!
They surrounded me, watching my every move, always wanting to kill and devour me... Wasn't that terrifying?
After much contemplation, I finally understood their methods.
They would never directly kill me—they were too afraid. Afraid of retribution. So they conspired among themselves, weaving a web to force me into self-destruction.
Just look at the expressions of the men and women on the streets and the actions of these doctors; it was clear what they were up to.
The best outcome for them would be for me to find a sturdy rope, hang it from a beam, and strangle myself. This way, they wouldn't bear the guilt of murder, yet their desires would be fulfilled, and they would all joyfully emit a kind of sobbing laughter.
Otherwise, if I died from fear and sorrow, though I might be slightly thinner, they would still nod in approval.
They were only capable of consuming dead flesh—not zombies. Although they craved human flesh, they would never dare to personally partake in the blood and flesh of the living.
They were both malicious and cowardly, fearing that such actions would make them appear filthy and despicable, and worried that their wickedness would be exposed.
Naturally, even the most vicious cannibal must conceal their desires; otherwise, they would hand over power to others who would then hunt them down and ultimately lead to their demise. Such an end would be quite pitiful for a cannibal.
The most pitiful of all was Sister Qingya. She was human too. And so beautiful—how could she not be afraid? Yet she was willing to join in on devouring me? Had she grown accustomed to such things? Did she not see anything wrong? Or had she lost her conscience and knowingly committed these acts?
I cursed those who consumed humans, starting with her. To persuade those who ate humans, I needed to begin with her as well.
I wanted to convince her not to eat people.
At that moment, my chest no longer hurt, but it began to itch uncomfortably.
January 18
I had another nightmare.
This time, I could see the woman's appearance more clearly.
Two fans gently swayed in her hands, exuding an enchanting charm, but the chilling fear still gripped my heart.
After waking up, I sat on the hospital bed in silence for a long time.
The heat in my chest grew more intense, beginning to spread to my limbs.
Naturally, the itching sensation also spread.
I felt uncomfortable, but what followed was even worse.
That fellow named Chu Donglin came again. This time he went straight to the infirmary to find me, wearing a broad smile and nodding at me.
"I heard Sister Qingya say you haven't been feeling well lately, so I came to see you... Is there anything you want to hear about?"
I looked closely and realized that his smile didn't seem genuine; it resembled a mask of deceit, beneath which lay the fangs of a ravenous beast.
I asked him, "About eating people, right?"
He continued to smile. "It's not like we're zombies; how could we eat people?"
I immediately understood that he also had a taste for flesh, and emboldened, I pressed him further.
"Right?" I stared at him intently, refusing to relent. "About eating people!"
"This kind of thing... ha... Mr. Pan, you really know how to make a joke."
He shook his head and laughed, pretending it was all very funny, but the apprehension in his eyes was something I could see right through. After a moment of silence, he changed the subject and asked, "Xing'er is currently staying with me. I'm also very saddened by Mr. Liu Shan Shu's situation; I hope you won't be too heartbroken."
Heartbroken? Of course I was heartbroken!
Someone as good as Mr. Liu should have lived a long life, yet he was taken by an inexplicable disaster. It was truly infuriating.
But I had to ask him, staring directly at him to prevent him from changing the topic, "The matter of cannibalism... right?"
He furrowed his brows tightly, seemingly startled by my insistence, and tried to argue, "No..."
"No? Then why are they eating people?!"
"That's not true..."
"Not true? People have been eaten on Four Bowls Street, and there are many more unknown cases... Who knows, someone might be getting eaten right now!"
His expression changed; he tore off the mask of pretense and looked at me coldly, his gaze filled with scrutiny. "Mr. Pan, your mental state doesn't seem quite right... Do you need me to find a doctor to take a look at you?"
He was wary of me!
Hahaha... he was afraid of me.
Seeing his indifferent gaze, I suddenly understood his thoughts.
This malicious fellow was actually afraid of me.
Hahahahaha... these cannibalistic Evil Spirits even know what fear is?
Suddenly, my heart felt a surge of relief.
I scratched at the itch on my chest, disdainfully turning my head away from the ugly face that had been stripped of its disguise, and looked around the rest of the room.
"Where are Keara and Ling'er? Where did they go?"
Then Chu Donglin looked at me with a strange expression. "You don't know they went out? They're always with the Hunting Team... they're the protectors of the Hunting Team."
My brows furrowed tightly.
Those two girls were actually going out to face those disgusting Cannibal Zombies? And what did he mean by protectors of the Hunting Team... were the members of that Hunting Team just a bunch of unmonitored kittens?
A sudden fear gripped my heart.
Because I thought of a possibility: could it be... could that group of Malicious People be using those two beautiful girls as food reserves, waiting for the right moment to devour them? Had Chu Donglin sold his two sisters to those vicious Man-eating Fiends?
The thought sent a chill down my spine.
Someone... please punish those wicked monsters! (To be continued...)
