Eye Shark

My sister died tragically in the sea. Her eyes were gouged out, her scalp was intact, but all her brain organs were gone.

The police told me that it was not a human who killed my sister, but an unknown marine creature…

I asked my sister to go to the beach with me on the weekend.

My sister was not very willing. She told me mysteriously that before the beach scenic area was developed, it was a place where corpses were dumped in the fishing village.

A trace of horror ran through my spine, and I smiled awkwardly: “Nowadays, cremation is the norm, so how can there still be such a thing as throwing away corpses?”

“This is true.”

My sister opened her phone and searched for information about the scenic spot. She told me that in the past, when people in the fishing village gave birth to a baby girl, they would place the baby in the corpse dump as a sacrifice to the gods.

At this point, my sister suddenly said, “I saw news about the scenic area being unclean before, why can’t I see it now?”

I breathed a sigh of relief: “Sister, you are just suspicious. It’s so hot, we should just go to the beach and surf.”

My sister couldn’t bear my pleading and accompanied me to the beach.

The beach has soft sand, tall parasols, and men and women in cool clothes.

As soon as my sister arrived at the scenic spot, she curled up in the rented beach chair and refused to move.

I went to the toilet and bought two cups of milk tea.

When I came back, I found my sister was gone.

Not far away, people formed a circle.

My heart skipped a beat and I had a bad feeling.

“How come everyone drowns here?”

“He died so young, alas!”

The ugly and terrifying word “death” rushed into my ears, and I rushed into the crowd like a madman.

A naked woman covered in sand was lying on the ground.

The woman’s eyes had been gouged out, her chest was not moving, and she looked completely lifeless.

She is my sister.

Click.

The two cups of red bean pudding milk tea in my hands fell heavily to the ground, and the rich milk splashed on my feet.

I stared at my sister blankly, only to see dirty water flowing out of her eye sockets where her eyeballs were gone.

An octopus with sucker tentacles crawled out of the sewage.

A terrifying scene ensued.

My sister’s head was shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Her head was like a balloon filled with water. As long as the water flowed out, the front of her face and the back of her head would fit tightly together.

Such a strange scene made my whole body stiff, and my heart beat so fast that it almost jumped out of my chest.

“ah!”

“The octopus ate her brain!”

Screams were heard from the crowd around.

I heard someone calling the police and dialing 120, but it was useless.

In the afterglow of dusk, my sister’s body looked fair and plump.

But her skull, flesh, and nerves were all gone, leaving only a shriveled piece of skin.

I covered my chest and fell to the ground.

My sister…why did she die?

She is a good swimmer, but she made it clear to me that she would never go into the sea in this scenic area.

But how come when I turned around to go to the toilet, she died in the sea!

I turned my head and stared at the octopus that crawled out of my sister’s eyes.

It was pink all over, with long, sticky tentacles spreading out in all directions, looking twisted and disgusting.

But I know that my sister’s death has nothing to do with the octopus.

There is no way the octopus could have eaten my sister’s skull.

So who killed her?

Eight minutes later, the police arrived at the scene.

They took photos of the body for the record, and when the medical examiner was doing the initial autopsy, I heard him say, “It doesn’t look like someone killed him.”

His words sobered me up a little from my grief and anger.

There were people everywhere on the beach, and no murderer would commit a crime when there were so many people around.

And even if he committed the crime, it would be impossible for him to extract all of my sister’s brain organs in public without anyone noticing.

It’s not man-made, so could it be…

I suddenly remembered the story my sister told me about throwing a baby girl to God.

Could it be… that this so-called god killed my sister?

“Here it comes!”

A shrill and sharp scream pierced my eardrums.

I looked in the direction of the sound and saw a dark and thin old lady, trembling and pointing at my sister’s body, repeating one sentence over and over again: “It’s really coming!”

I stood up and rushed to the old lady without any reason: “Who is it? You know who killed my sister, right?”

The old lady’s eyes were filled with fear and she cried, “It’s this, it must be this!”

I asked again and again, “Who is it?”

“This old lady is not mentally sound. You don’t have to pay attention to what she says.”

A policeman patted my shoulder and said to me, “As a relative of the deceased, please follow us back to the police station to make a record.”

I turned around to look at my sister again, and saw the forensic doctor carefully holding up my sister’s wrinkled scalp and stuffing it into a black body bag.

Sadness swept through my body again, and I followed the police into the car with heavy steps.

The moment the car door closed, I heard the old lady say something that sounded like she was crying and laughing: “People are going to die, a lot of people are going to die!”

2．

At the police station, I filled out my sister’s identity information and repeatedly stated that my sister had no enemies and had not behaved abnormally recently.

After taking note, the police asked me to go home and wait for news.

At eleven o’clock in the evening, I returned to the apartment I rented.

My sister is my only relative. The image of her shriveled scalp after her death is still lingering in my mind.

“ah!”

Just at this moment, I suddenly heard a scream that pierced my eardrums.

I looked up toward the window.

I saw a woman in a bright red dress, falling upside down in the shape of a pencil bag.

No, that’s not right.

She did not fall, it was as if her feet were tied up with ropes and fixed in place.

So, she kept her head down, face to face with me through the glass window.

I just felt the blood in my body solidify and my feet felt like they were filled with lead and I couldn’t move at all.

Then I could see her bloody face more clearly.

她的嘴巴大张着鼓起，我甚至能够看到她口腔中鲜红的舌根。

But what frightened me even more was that her eyes were empty eye sockets stained with blood, and because of the weightless posture of hanging upside down, tiny and trembling organs were exposed from her eye sockets.

The visual impact of the dead body made me hold my head and scream.

Pop.

The door of the apartment was suddenly pushed open.

“Qingqing, what’s wrong with you?” the man rushed in, his voice full of worry.

I looked up tremblingly and saw my boyfriend Shu Yan.

A look of worry appeared on his fair face, and in his hand he held a bouquet of bright red roses.

“Qingqing, I just came back from a business trip. What’s wrong with you? Why are you yelling and crying?”

Shu Yan placed the flowers in his hand in mine and reached out to wipe away my tears.

“Dead…dead man!”

I threw myself into his arms: “Brother Yan, I saw a dead person!”

“Where is the dead body?” Shu Yan hugged me tightly and asked me.

I didn’t dare to look back, and pointed behind me timidly: “The dead person in red clothes, she…she was staring at me from the window.”

Shu Yan subconsciously looked towards the window: “No, Qingqing, there is nothing outside the window.”

“Impossible! I clearly saw a dead person just now. She had no eyeballs and her empty eye sockets were facing me.” I howled insanely.

Shu Yan calmed me down.

He took a picture of the window with his phone and showed it to me.

It took me a long time to calm my breathing before I mustered up the courage to look.

All I saw on the photo on the phone was a black mass, just as Shu Yan said, there was nothing there.

Only then did I dare to look towards the window.

There’s really nothing.

I looked downstairs again with a worried look.

There was a paved road downstairs, and there was no female corpse in red.

I closed my eyes and covered my chest. Just now… was I really seeing things?

“Qingqing, why have you become so suspicious today?” Shu Yan patted my shoulder and asked me.

I lowered my hands, and said weakly with tears in my eyes: “Brother Yan, my sister…she’s dead.”

Shu Yan’s body was stiff for a while, and he said in disbelief: “How did she die?”

I told Shu Yan about my sister’s bizarre and tragic death. He comforted me and asked me to wait for the results of the police investigation.

I was in agony and tossed and turned that night.

A few days later, the police called me and asked me to go to the police station again.

Officer Li, who was in charge of my sister’s death case, held up a stack of documents and said to me, “Ms. Yu, we performed an autopsy on the victim and found a DNA in your sister’s body.”

I immediately became excited: “The owner of that DNA must be the murderer who killed my sister!”

“Theoretically, your judgment is correct.”

Officer Li looked serious. He hesitated for a moment and said, “But the strange thing is that the DNA does not belong to a human.”

I froze: “What does this mean?”

“To be more precise, the one who killed your sister was not a human, but some unknown creature.”

3．

“impossible!”

I kept shaking my head: “That’s absolutely impossible. That area of ​​the sea is a shallow water area of ​​the scenic area. No one has ever died there before!”

“I don’t believe this either, but DNA testing is absolutely correct.”

Officer Li said confidently, “Your sister was killed by some undiscovered creature in the ocean.”

……

After leaving the police station, I opened the information given by Officer Li and looked at it carefully.

The bold text at the top of the document states that the deceased died of brain death.

There was another line of words written below the font, which said that the deceased’s heart was still beating weakly within an hour after brain death.

This passage gives my scalp tingling.

My sister’s brain was eaten by an unknown creature, but her heart and her body were still alive.

An unprecedented fear began to envelop me.

When the unknown creature ate my sister, it must have been extremely quick, perhaps even eating her eyes within a second or two.

Only an extremely fast speed can keep my sister’s heart alive after she becomes brain dead.

“Qingqing, eat something.”

Shu Yan brought a bowl of porridge and placed it in front of me, and said softly, “You haven’t eaten for a day, don’t starve yourself.”

I looked up at him, tears falling uncontrollably: “Brother Yan, the police have determined that the person who killed my sister is not a human being. I have nowhere to go for revenge.”

Shu Yan sighed, and he reached out to tuck the hair that fell on my forehead behind my ear: “Life is always full of unknown risks. We must never go to that sea area in the future.”

I remained silent, but clenched my hands into fists.

My parents died when I was young, and my sister raised me. She is my only one.

So I must avenge my sister!

Suddenly, I thought of the old lady I met on the beach.

The old lady said, “It’s coming.”

Could this be the unknown creature that killed my sister?

I stood up suddenly and ran out of the house like crazy.

Two hours later, Shu Yan and I arrived at the beach scenic area.

Probably because of my sister’s tragic death yesterday, this place has been cleaned up and closed, and there are no tourists around.

As soon as I got off the bus, I heard the old lady’s almost heartbreaking cry: “Run!”

I looked towards the old lady and saw her shouting at the scattered people in security uniforms on the beach: “If you don’t run, you’re all going to die!”

“Grandma, do you still remember me?”

I walked up to the old lady and handed her a bottle of water. “You know who killed my sister, right?”

The old lady looked up at me. Her skin was rough and darkened by the sea breeze, and her eyes were filled with tears.

She said hoarsely, “Do you believe that there are mermaids in this world?”

Mermaid?

A mermaid with seaweed-like hair on the upper body and a tail with shining blue scales on the lower body?

I majored in marine biology in college.

There is no way such a beautiful mermaid could exist.

Being in salty seawater for a long time, mermaids would not have soft long hair and fair, flawless skin.

Scientifically speaking, the prototype of the mermaid is just a manatee covered with seaweed.

I said, “Mermaids are just fairy tales. They don’t exist.”

“Ha ha.”

The old lady laughed hoarsely in her throat. She wiped away the tears from her eyes and said in a low voice, “There are no mermaids in the world, but there are sharks.”

“It has a human head and a fish tail. It has no hair, and its eyes are on top of its head. Its skin is the same color as the mud on the seabed, and its scales are as hard and sharp as iron.”

The sun was shining brightly, shining on my arms, making my skin red and hot.

Shu Yan carefully held a parasol for me.

“The eye shark lives deep underwater. It likes to eat fish eyes, and only fish eyes.”

Having said this, the old lady looked up at me.

A ridiculous idea came to my mind.

This unknown creature is the eye shark.

It ate my sister’s eyes and sucked out her brain.

“The eye shark lives in the deep sea. Its life is endless, but its eyes will gradually become smaller and disappear as it ages.”

Fear gradually appeared in the old lady’s eyes. She took a deep breath and said, “It will be hard for it to find food if it can’t see. But if you eat human eyes, it will slow down the blindness of the eye shark.”

I took over the old lady’s words and said word by word: “So, my sister’s eyes were eaten by the eye shark, right?”

“good.”

I asked the old lady why she knew the whereabouts of the shark?

“How should I know? Haha, you ask me how I know the whereabouts of that thing?”

The old lady suddenly knelt on the ground, her hands firmly grasping the cement floor: “My mother’s skin peeled off, revealing a monster with eyes on its head. It was this monster that ate my father’s eyes!”

She used so much force that the cement floor was stained with her tears and the blood from her fallen nails.

I was shocked by the old lady’s violent reaction. I hurriedly supported her and asked, “What happened to you?”

The security guard not far away greeted me: “Don’t worry about her, she will be crazy for a while, and then she will be normal again.”

I looked closely at the skinny old lady.

To be honest, when she was telling me about the mermaid just now, I didn’t think she was abnormal at all.

But now her behavior of self-mutilation is indeed no doubt that of a madman.

Just as Shu Yan and I were about to leave, the old lady’s dry hands like chicken claws suddenly grabbed me and warned me intermittently: “The sharks will come ashore to eat people. At least a hundred people will die. Get out of here!”

On the way home, I called Officer Li and told him about the shark eating human eyes.

Officer Li was silent for a while, then he said, “Ms. Yu, we have a video of your sister’s death. I’ll send it to you.”

Officer Li and I added each other on WeChat, and he sent me a one-minute surveillance video.

The surveillance footage was not clear, but my sister’s figure could be seen.

My sister sat on the beach chair for a while and then dragged her feet into the sea.

She was not wearing slippers and walked like a zombie, extremely stiff.

Soon she was swimming in the sea in her blue swim skirt.

In the first twenty seconds, her swimming posture was extremely normal, but after the twenty-second mark, she changed to diving.

When my sister was diving, her head was almost vertically pointing downwards at 90 degrees, but her hands and feet were twisted and turned outwards, as if she was climbing upwards.

This posture was extremely strange, as if something invisible was pressing on her head, forcing her to swim downwards.

At the 40-second mark in the video, the sister dives deep into the sea and her blue swim skirt is no longer visible.

At forty-five seconds, my sister suddenly surfaced like a ball that had been pressed under the water for a long time.

Her expression and appearance looked no different from that of an ordinary person, but she didn’t move at all.

But I knew she was dead by then.

Because her swim skirt was torn off and she was naked.

It only took five seconds from the time my sister dived into the sea to the time she was stripped naked and killed.

Obviously only a monster could kill someone so quickly.

I turned the brightness of my phone to maximum and watched the five-second video over and over again.

Shu Yan noticed my thoughts and watched with me.

Suddenly, he pressed the pause button and pointed to the lower corner of the video on his phone and said, “Qingqing, look, there’s a reflection here!”

I took a screenshot and enlarged it for a closer look.

This sight made my blood rush backwards and my whole body tremble.

Right below my sister, there was a pitch-black thing. It looked like a puddle of mud crawling on the seabed, with only a white eyeball on its head!

The eyeballs were very small, without black pupils, and were shiny white.

My heart started beating uncontrollably.

It’s a shark.

It is the shark that ate my sister’s eyes!

I told Officer Li about my discovery, but he said I was mistaken and that the white thing was just an ordinary shell.

I feel extremely disappointed.

Without Officer Li’s help, I can’t fight the shark alone…

It got dark quickly.

At night, I lay in bed, exhausted.

In the middle of the night, I was awakened by a gurgling swallowing sound.

I stood up, rubbed my swollen eyes and walked to the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Shu Yan was bending over, with his head tilted, drinking water from the faucet in the sink.

My eyes widened.

Is Shu Yan sleepwalking? Why is he drinking raw water like this?

I have been with Shu Yan for three years, and I have never heard that he suffers from sleepwalking before.

“Yan…Brother Yan?” I tried to call him.

But Shu Yan didn’t reply to me and continued to drink water in big gulps.

I thought of the information I had read before, which said that sleepwalkers should not be woken up, otherwise it would scare the patient.

Thinking of this, I sighed and returned to bed quietly.

I don’t know how long it was before a wet kiss landed on my forehead.

“Don’t be like that.”

I turned sideways and said, “Brother Yan, I’m not in the mood.”

Shu Yan ignored my refusal, and his thin lips continued to move down from my forehead, until they stopped on my eyelids.

I was very upset.

Shu Yan has been on a business trip for a month. I can understand that he has that need.

But can’t he understand me?

My sister is dead!

The salty kiss made me annoyed and angry. I couldn’t help but push him away: “Go away!”

Shu Yan was stunned for a while and didn’t continue.

In the moonlight, I saw his thin shadow cast on the wall, looking very lonely.

After Shu Yan came back from his business trip, he has been accompanying me all the time and never complained.

I still rejected him.

This makes me feel a little guilty.

After a while, I took his hand and said, “Brother Yan, I’m sorry.”

Shu Yan lay down on the bed and hugged me. He said in a hoarse voice: “It’s okay.”

We slept in each other’s arms, and when we were about to fall asleep, my hand accidentally touched his abdominal muscles.

Shu Yan is very strict about managing his body shape, and his abdominal muscles are very firm and solid.

But his waist felt uncomfortable today, with bumps all over it.

At first I thought it was a thread that had fallen off my clothes, but I soon realized something was wrong.

This wire seemed to be welded to Shu Yan’s body, and no matter how hard I pulled, I couldn’t pull it off.

What is this?

Why haven’t I touched it before?

I bent down, wrapped the quilt around myself, and turned on the flashlight mode on my phone.

In the blinding white light, I saw a dense circle of black lines wrapped around Shu Yan’s waist.

This circle of black thread is not the traditional thread for sewing.

They seem to be alive, with countless tiny furry tentacles, and they can stick to the skin and sway back and forth.

My brain exploded instantly.

Suddenly I thought of what the old lady on the beach said: “My mother’s skin peeled off, revealing a monster with eyes on its head.”

This shows that the shark not only eats people, it can also get into people’s skin and disguise itself as a human!

Shu Yan must have been killed by the shark as well!

The person in front of him was not Shu Yan, but the mermaid wearing Shu Yan’s skin!

I covered my mouth, trying hard not to scream.

But at this moment, a strange head suddenly popped out from under the tightly covered quilt.

Shu Yan’s face became extremely unfamiliar at this moment.

His white eyes were staring at me, and a strange, sharp and piercing sound came out of his mouth: “Qingqing, what did you see?”

“without.”

My mind went blank and I didn’t even dare to meet his weird eyes.

My strong desire to survive made me blurt out without thinking: “Brother Yan, I’m playing a game with you. I used to play with you under the quilt.”

Shu Yan blinked.

His eyes returned to normal in an instant.

Still with that gentle look.

He held my hand and said, “It’s getting dark, go to bed early, Qingqing.”

When my head left the quilt, I subconsciously looked at Shu Yan’s waist again.

The black line that was supposed to be wrapped around his body had disappeared.

I rubbed my eyes hard.

But the black line is indeed gone.

Could it be that I was too sad about my sister’s death and had an illusion again?

“Brother Yan…”

I hesitated for a long time and asked, “Can you cook some shrimp porridge for me tomorrow morning?”

Shu Yan reached out and patted me on the back: “Okay.”

The word he said made cold sweat break out on my back.

Shu Yan has been with me for several years and he knows very well that I am allergic to shrimp.

He is really not Shu Yan!

My whole body was shaking.

这一刻，我甚至想跳下床逃跑。

But reason overcame me, the eye shark can eat a person in seconds.

I can’t escape its clutches.

So, I absolutely cannot show anything wrong.

In the second half of the night, I curled up in the corner of the bed, my whole body tense and trembling with fear.

At daybreak, I tried my best to stay calm and told Yan Jiao, who was wearing Shu Yan’s skin, that I was going to work.

After leaving Shu Yan, I took a taxi to the beach area and found the old lady again.

From her, I learned that when she was ten years old, she was playing hide-and-seek in the closet and found her mother being intimate with her father.

Later, I don’t know why, my mother looked very angry and suddenly reached out to touch her eyeballs.

Then, her mother’s entire skin was broken, revealing a monster that was completely black with white eyeballs on its head.

She called the monster the Eye Shark.

When the mermaid revealed its true identity, her father was very scared. But before he could escape, the mermaid stretched out a long tongue from its mouth and ate his eyeballs.

Her father died tragically in front of her eyes.

Because of this, the old lady seemed a little dazed and abnormal.

I asked the old lady if there was any way to kill the shark?

The old lady only said one word: escape.

Seeing that I could not get any more useful information from the old lady, I had to think of another way.

I searched Baidu for information about Mermaids on my phone, but all I saw were ridiculous and melodramatic stories about mermaids falling in love with men.

Finally, I found information about a mermaid on a forum I had visited for a long time.

The forum says that the mermaid has a long lifespan and looks like a human, but is extremely ugly.

I found the source of this brief text on the forum in the county annals in the library.

I went to the library without stopping.

After three hours of searching, I found the county annals that recorded the eye shark.

The county annals say that except for its white eyeballs, the whole body of the shark is black, and its teeth are inverted triangles and extremely sharp. It came ashore to eat people for the first time in fifty years. After coming ashore, it ate the eyes of fifty men, fifty women and fifty babies.

After eating over a hundred people, the shark will automatically return to the depths of the ocean.

I continued to look down, and a scene that made me shudder appeared above.

There are detailed written records that during the Republic of China period, the eye sharks would come ashore to capture pregnant women, perform caesarean sections, and eat the eyes of the pregnant women and their babies raw.

Later, the shark was besieged by people. People wanted to kill it, but they found that the shark’s skin was hard and could not be killed or poisoned…

This made me extremely upset. A large group of people couldn’t do anything with the shark, and I certainly couldn’t kill it.

Just when I was about to close the book, I found a sentence in the last paragraph:

“A large amount of pure salt can burn the skin of the shark.”

When I saw this line of words, I didn’t feel excited, but rather confused.

The shark lives in the deep sea, where the most abundant substance is salt.

But now the county annals tell me that sharks are afraid of salt?

But no matter what, the content in this county annals is the only way I have found to harm the eye shark.

I returned to my rented apartment.

Shu Yan was not in the apartment.

I ordered a large quantity of salt online.

When the delivery man placed a few boxes of salt in front of me, he looked at me in astonishment and said, “Isn’t it popular to stock up on food during the epidemic? Why are you stocking up on salt?”

I smiled bitterly and didn’t respond.

Then I hid the salt in various corners of the house.

When I was moving the salt and putting it under the bed, I smelled a faint stench.

I took the flashlight and shone it carefully under the bed.

Then I saw a picture of a cat nailed to my bed.

To be more precise, an orange cat skin was nailed on it.

The cat had no flesh and blood left, and it was pinned to the bed in a spread-eagle position by nails.

I covered my mouth and tears streamed down my face.

This is my stray cat.

It’s just that during this period of time, my sister’s death occupied my mind, and I subconsciously thought that the cat had run away.

But now, it appeared in front of me again in the form of a corpse.

This cat must have been killed by the shark!

I then placed the remaining salt in the kitchen sink and dissolved it in water.

After doing all this, I sent a message to Officer Li, telling him that the shark had also killed my boyfriend, and now it was harming people under the guise of my boyfriend Shu Yan.

I researched the contents of the shark in the county annals and sent him the photo of the cat skin without bones and flesh.

The black and white words in the county annals and the photo of the orange cat whose death was almost identical to my sister’s made Officer Li believe me.

He sent me a message, asking me to stay away from Shu Yan and not to act rashly, and to wait for him to come and support me.

Officer Li’s words made me feel that I was not alone, so I decided to leave the apartment first and wait for Officer Li to sneak into the apartment before I counterattacked the shark.

“ah!”

At this moment, I heard that familiar and strange scream again.

My body stiffened instantly.

But his head couldn’t help but turn to look towards the window.

Then, I saw a little girl falling headfirst again.

Yes, it’s a girl this time.

She is my neighbor upstairs. Every time we meet in the elevator, she would sweetly call me “little sister”.

Now, she is wearing a pink overalls skirt and pretty white pencil socks.

Looks lively and cute.

But she was dead, her eyes were gouged out, she was dead!

Maybe it was because my mental threshold had become higher, I didn’t scream this time.

I covered my beating heart and ran to the gate in a hurry.

But damn, this door seems to be welded shut, no matter how hard I try, I can’t open it!

Then, I saw a shocking scene.

The girl’s head was tilted back, with her hands and feet supporting herself on the ground, and she climbed in through the window security window.

I stepped back until my back was pressed against the door and I had nowhere to go.

The girl came closer to me.

I found that her head was also covered with a dense layer of tiny movable black lines.

She was also possessed by the mermaid!

The girl had lost her eyes, and black and red blood mixed in her eye sockets, looking extremely weird.

At this moment, she stretched out her hand to me: “Sister, I have no eyes, can you give me your eyes?”

The cold and sticky touch gave me the creeps.

Before I could say anything, I felt a black screen in front of my eyes and fainted instantly.

When I woke up, Shu Yan was holding a hot towel and putting it on my forehead.

His eyes were full of pity: “Qingqing, why did you fall to the ground? Are you anemic?”

I reached back calmly with my hands, groping for the salt hidden under the pillow.

I didn’t breathe a sigh of relief until I pinched a handful of salt as soft as fine sand.

Seeing that I didn’t say anything, Shu Yan reached out and touched my hair: “What’s wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?”

I smiled a smile that was more embarrassing than crying: “Yan…Brother Yan, I feel very uncomfortable. Please take me to the hospital first.”

I must leave Shu Yan and go to a crowded place so that I can protect myself.

Shu Yan smiled and said, “Qingqing, you just have anemia, there’s no need to go to the hospital.”

I turned my head and looked at the inky night without saying another word.

Shu Yan took the towel off my forehead and climbed onto the bed.

His hands were like twisted seaweed, constantly moving over my body.

I was sweating profusely and my other hand was constantly groping around, trying to find a cell phone to contact Officer Li.

But unfortunately, no matter how hard I searched, I couldn’t find my phone.

At this time, a hoarse and low voice came to my ears: “Qingqing, what are you looking for?”

I was cold all over and turned my head stiffly.

I saw Shu Yan holding my phone, looking at me mockingly: “You want to find your phone to call someone, right?”

“What are you talking about?”

I tried my best to control the fear on my face and said with a forced smile: “I always play with my phone before going to bed.”

“Yeah?”

Shu Yan rolled his eyes and actually returned the phone to me.

I felt like I had been pardoned and quickly turned on the screen.

A news item popped up on the main interface of the phone screen. The title had a line of large characters: “Shocking, three people were tragically killed in a neighborhood, a young woman, a girl, and the other was actually…”

I didn’t finish reading the news homepage, but I saw the mosaic picture below.

The picture shows a woman in red, a girl in an overalls, and Officer Li.

At this moment, I felt deep fear.

I remembered what the old lady had told me, she told me to run away.

I regret it.

I really regret it.

There is a huge gap between humans and unknown creatures.

I shouldn’t have thought about revenge for my sister.

I should run as far as I can…

Shu Yan hugged me, played with my hair, and chuckled, “Qingqing, let’s go to bed.”

I bit my lips hard.

I really wanted to say that I wanted to go out for some fresh air, but I was really afraid that what I said would alert Shu Yan and attract his attention.

So I could only obediently close my eyes and take a nap.

At around twelve o’clock in the morning, I heard a slight strange noise behind me.

After a while, the sound stopped.

I endured it for a long time, but finally I couldn’t help but turned over and looked.

Shu Yan was no longer seen by the bed.

I looked up at the tightly closed bedroom door, then turned sideways to look at the window.

The window was half open.

Did Shu Yan go down through the window?

But this is the 23rd floor.

Moreover, there is a burglar-proof window outside the window, and the gaps between the iron bars of the burglar-proof window are only the size of a fist. How could it get out?

I paused for a long time, but finally I couldn’t help it and stood up to look towards the window.

There was only inky darkness outside the window.

Shu Yan really disappeared, disappeared in this room.

At this moment, the sound of frying suddenly came from the kitchen outside the door.

A strong smell of blood rushed into my nose.

I realized that Shu Yan went to the kitchen while I was not paying attention.

I don’t know what he was doing in the kitchen, I only know that this is the easiest time for me to escape.

I stood on tiptoe and walked towards the gate holding my breath.

At this moment, the liver-colored security door looks particularly beautiful in my eyes.

It symbolizes hope!

I gently opened the door handle.

The clear and cold air came in, diluting the bloody smell at the tip of my nose.

I slowly pushed the door open, but before my feet could even touch the ground, a voice suddenly came from behind me: “Qingqing, where do you want to go at this late hour?”

I turned my head away stiffly and dully.

Shu Yan was seen holding a plate with a piece of bloody meat on it.

Some kelp shreds and small red flowers were placed on the meat, which looked weird and bloody.

“Qingqing, you have anemia. I made some meat for you.”

Shu Yan placed the porcelain plate on the coffee table and waved at me with a smile: “Come and eat something, so you won’t feel uncomfortable with anemia.”

I stood there motionless and refused: “Brother Yan, I…I want to go out for a night run.”

Shu Yan’s expression gradually became serious, and his originally clear black and white eyes began to show traces of whiteness: “Qingqing, I won’t say it again.”

At this moment, my body seemed to be out of control and I dragged my feet towards the coffee table step by step.

Only then did Shu Yan regain his usual expression.

He put his hand on my shoulder and said, “I want you to do me a favor. Can you bring all the meat and vegetables from the kitchen?”

I had to do what he said.

When I got to the kitchen, I found a porcelain plate filled with all kinds of meat.

The meat was particularly bright red and did not look like pork or beef.

I looked at it carefully.

Finally, they discovered to their horror that they were all human flesh.

The meat was chopped finely.

I discovered they were human flesh through a piece of fingernail.

“Qingqing, why don’t you bring the food over?”

Shu Yan suddenly came over, crossed his arms over his chest, and looked at me with a half-smile: “Do you think all this meat is human flesh?”

My whole body was shaking.

I understand that I can’t be passive anymore, I must protect myself.

I turned around, slowly took a pot of water, and said calmly, “Brother Yan, I have something to tell you.”

Shu Yan was still smiling strangely: “You say.”

“I want to say you go die!”

I suddenly opened the lid of the pot and splashed it towards Shu Yan.

The hot salt water fell on Shu Yan’s head and he let out a scream.

Then, I saw a scene of horror that I will never be able to describe in my life.

Shu Yanpi is open!

First blood flowed from his eyes, and then his skin cracked. The cracks spread very quickly, revealing a head that was as black as iron.

This head is much smaller than that of a normal person, but it is extremely terrifying because it has a pair of pale eyeballs on it.

Then, the skin on Shu Yan’s neck exploded, and a large amount of red blood filled my eyes.

At this moment, I finally understood why the old lady was mentally ill.

She was only ten years old at the time, but she saw the scene of the mermaid breaking the skin and eating people, so she naturally couldn’t bear it.

I didn’t give the shark a chance to take off its skin. I grabbed the salt next to me and threw it hard at it.

But this time, the shark didn’t react at all. It twisted its neck and kept letting the skin below its neck fall off.

I sensed something was wrong.

As I suspected before, the shark is in the deep sea and it is not afraid of salt at all.

“Humans are so stupid.”

Its mouth was huge, like a catfish’s, and from its gaping mouth came an indistinct buzzing sound: “A hundred years ago, when I ate babies alive, someone was stupid enough to sprinkle me with salt.”

I felt my temples throbbing and almost fainted.

I don’t know what I should do.

Salt really doesn’t work for it.

But when I poured boiling water mixed with salt water on it just now, it did look painful.

Wait, boiled water with salt?

I instantly understood that the shark is not afraid of salt, but it is afraid of boiling water.

But there was no hot water in the house.

At this moment, the shark’s skin had shed below the neck. He twisted his long neck and walked towards me.

With every step it took, I could see large amounts of broken and separated skin tissue all over the ground.

I didn’t say a word. The fear of survival made me feel confused.

When it was about to get close to me, I grabbed the kitchen knife and stabbed it hard.

But as the old lady said, the knife falling on it was like falling on sheet iron, with no effect.

“Ha ha.”

The mermaid laughed: “You can’t kill me. Stupid humans can’t kill the great mermaids!”

I fell into deep despair.

Am I going to let it dig out my eyes and eat me?

Suddenly, the lighter on the kitchen table caught my attention.

Boiling water has the properties of hot and scalding.

The fire from a lighter can also exhibit the same properties.

But the fire from the lighter is just a spark.

The shark approached me, tilted its head, and stared at me with its white eyes.

Before I could say anything, he reached out and touched my belly.

I was sweating profusely and wanted to run away, but my feet felt like they were filled with lead and I couldn’t move at all.

It suddenly stretched out its long tongue and licked the corner of its mouth back and forth: “It will be almost three months in a little while.”

My heart started pounding.

It reminded me of a story I read in the county annals about a shark digging into the belly of a pregnant woman and eating her unborn baby.

The shark said it’s almost three months, which means that I have a three-month-old baby in my belly.

Yes, it must be!

It just occurred to me that I hadn’t had my period for three months.

I just found out that I had a child with Shu Yan.

But this child is going to die…

With a loud crash.

The human skin on the upper body of the mermaid was completely removed.

Half of its body was dark, and its limbs were short, but its fingertips were extremely sharp and it easily tore off the clothes on my belly.

Its extremely greedy voice echoed in my ears: “Eyes that are just three months old are the most delicious.”

No!

No way, I will never let my child die tragically!

I moved slowly to the left.

On the far left is a pot of cooking oil.

The shark stretched out its long tongue and licked my belly, making a buzzing sound in its throat: “Time is going so slowly, I can’t wait to eat it.”

My scalp tingled and I stretched out my hand as far as I could to the left.

I was extremely careful when doing these movements.

But I soon discovered that the shark didn’t care at all.

Its white, greedy eyes were fixed on my belly.

I understand that to it, I am like a dying mouse.

Whatever the mouse does, it doesn’t care.

But the desire to survive makes me not want to die!

I stretched my hand to the left as far as I could and succeeded in getting the pot of oil.

The shark was still staring at my belly greedily. I spoke to attract it: “How…how did you kill my boyfriend?”

The shark ignored me. It tilted its head and licked my belly with its long tongue.

I didn’t run away, but used all my strength to pour the oil on the shark.

The shark finally looked at me. Its white eyeballs were stained with yellow cooking oil, making it look even more slippery and disgusting.

It rubbed its hands and laughed strangely: “It will be ready to eat soon.”

The long tongue licked my belly faster and faster, and I felt a dull pain in my belly which was covered with sticky saliva.

My heart also beat faster.

Gurgle gurgle.

The shark’s tongue suddenly showed sharp triangular barbs, and I felt a stinging pain in my belly like a needle piercing my skin.

When I looked down, I saw that half of my belly had been scraped off.

Blood gushed out from the broken skin.

It’s going to eat me!

Without any hesitation, I lit the lighter with a click.

Bang!

When fire meets oil, the thing will explode.

In a flash, the mermaid, who was completely black, turned into a fireball.

“ah!”

The tearing roar of the eye shark rang through my ears.

I was so shocked that I fell down.

All things are interdependent and mutually exclusive.

The shark should be very afraid of fire. Perhaps, even a little bit of fire can make it feel afraid.

What’s more, a single spark can start a prairie fire.

“ah!”

The shark is still wailing.

Its dark body was burned red by the fire.

It twisted and screamed, stretching out its short claws to grab me: “I want to…eat you!”

I struggled hard, but my legs were still touched by it.

The unbearable burning heat and the excruciating pain of the shark’s claws scratching the skin on my legs made me faint again.

When I woke up, I was in a hospital room.

The nurse told me that my neighbor discovered the fire in the kitchen and called the police to save me.

When I got home, the only signs of burns in the kitchen were on the floor tiles.

There was no other trace of the eye shark.

It looked as if the fire-eyed shark incident had never occurred.

I went downstairs and bought a pregnancy test stick.

There are red parallel bars on top.

Just as Eye Shark said, I am indeed pregnant.

At this moment, staring at this pregnancy test stick, my thoughts drifted far away.

I thought of the description in the county annals, that the shark came ashore to eat people every hundred years.

But the old lady on the beach’s parents were eaten by sharks in recent decades.

this……

This shows that there is more than one shark in the deep sea.

I took a deep breath and turned on my phone.

In an old web forum, I wrote down a description of the eye shark – the eye shark is pitch black all over, with white eyes that grow on the top of its head. It likes to eat human eyes and can cut human skin. It is good at camouflaging itself by wearing human skin. Its skin is also very hard and cannot be killed by a knife or poison.

But I am afraid of fire.
