Cannibalize

This feeling of being unable to grasp is often just a moment, and then disappears in an instant.

"Go away!"

"who are you?!"

These are two sleepy words that Xiao Che said during his lunch break, because this matter was laughed at by the students around him for a long time.

Apart from the dream, there is another thing that bothers Xiao Che, that is, the frequency of his father appearing less and less.

This month, he only saw his father once.

He just finished school at that time, and his father came back from outside in a suit, carrying a large sack in both hands.When he heard Xiao Che calling him, he just nodded and went to the basement.Mother was at the door, as pale as ever.And Xiao Che smelled that wonderful fragrance again, which seemed to be stronger than before.

That night, the mother hugged Xiao Che and didn't want him to go back to the room.

Then I cried and couldn't stop.

After Xiao Che comforted her for half a year, her mother gradually stabilized.Then he lay on the bed trembling slightly, and kept murmuring: "Wrong... wrong... ah... retribution... it's retribution... retribution is coming..."

And no matter how Xiao Che asked her why she said that, and asked her what she was afraid of, she didn't answer, but kept repeating it, as if she had been cursed.

Father's behavior, mother's reaction, and his vague discovery made Xiao Che quite puzzled.

And the focus of these undoubtedly pointed to the basement and the boy in white clothes and white hair.

Even if it is no longer to satisfy desire/desire, Xiao Che still wants to know the answer.

So, one and a half months later at night, at 12 o'clock, he opened the door leading to the basement again with the key, sneaked in, and came to the wooden door with ease.

This time, the door was closed.

Xiao Che held his breath outside and listened for a long time. Seeing that there was no movement, he tentatively and carefully turned the doorknob.

After a long time, the room was dark, there was no one, and there was a dead silence.

Xiao Che is familiar with the furnishings in the room.Wardrobe, low coffee table and a small narrow bed.There are still ashtrays and a vase on the coffee table.But unlike before, the ashtray was full of cigarette butts, and there was nothing in the vase.

Are they asleep?

Is now an opportunity?An opportunity to explore? !

After Xiao Che made sure that there was no one in the room, he cautiously explored in the dark with a flashlight.

He looked in the room for anything related to notes, but unfortunately, there were only wine, magazines, cigarettes, coffee beans, clothes, insurance/insurance/covers, sex/interesting items... Ha, yes, their lives It's not like I don't know that it's so wild/obscene.

He recalled opening a door and entering a passage in the dark.He knew that from this passage, he could reach his father's bedroom, and he could also go to the library and other rooms-although he knew that the books there were mostly sexual/desire albums.

Xiao Che walked very slowly, afraid of making any noise.After all, once you meet your father, all your previous efforts will be wasted.

Then, he really wanted to complain about how there were so many rooms in this basement, it was like a maze.An inexplicable association suddenly flashed in his mind——

These corridors are like lines, rooms are points, and several lines can be extended from each point, and the loop continues like this. This basement is like a huge spider web!

Xiao Che almost wanted to laugh at himself for having such absurd thoughts.

Suddenly, a furry thing hit his forehead.

He got goosebumps all over his body in an instant, grabbed the thing and threw it out violently!

Then use the flashlight to scan...

Unbelievable, it was a palm-sized dark brown spider!

That thing seemed to be quite sensitive to light, and when the flashlight shone, it immediately slipped into the crack of the door.

Xiao Che's heart was beating fast, and his nerves were tense. He hastily scanned his surroundings with a flashlight... Sure enough!Behind him, on the wall, and in the air... It should be said that there are many large and small spiders around him!

These disgusting creatures seemed to be following and monitoring him, or they simply regarded him as prey and were waiting for the right time to strike!

What the hell is going on here? !There are so many spiders? ?

Xiao Che is not afraid of spiders, but so many of them really make him feel irritable.

Now how to do?

keep walking?

Or go back?

Xiao Che walked forward with some annoyance, those spiders followed him like his shadow.

This strange situation continued until he vaguely heard music.

It's quite soothing, soft, it can be said that it is a very gentle melody.

However, the strange thing is that those spiders seemed to have heard a terrible curse, they rushed up eagerly just now, but at this moment, they kept fleeing and retreating, and finally disappeared.

what is the problem?

Intuition made Xiao Che walk towards the place where the sound of the piano came from.At this moment, he remembered that the white-haired boy once took him to a small piano room, and there was indeed a scrapped wooden piano inside.

Is it father?

No, the boy said at the time, not his father.

So, is that the boy?

The sound of the piano was like a thread in the dark, pulling Xiao Che towards the piano room.

NIGHT13

Xiao Che, who has practiced the piano for a long time, can clearly feel that the sound of the keys is indeed a little blunt, some notes are distorted, and the bass part is not loud enough.Fortunately, most players choose to play in the middle and high notes.

This is a slow, soothing melody, handed over from left to right, undulating like waves, and gradually changing with the scale.The notes are simple, but quite pleasant, like a dream song in a music box, or like a raving in sleep.Listening to this kind of music, people will feel an illusion. It seems that this kind of melody will go on forever and never end.

Even though he had never heard such a song before, Xiao Che had an inexplicable sense of familiarity.It seems that I have played it myself.And played countless times.

Before he knew it, he finally came to the door and pushed it open.

The sound of the piano still continues, but gradually slides in the bass part.

The lower the pitch, the smaller the sound, and some keys can no longer produce sound, like a mute who can't make a sound, no matter how hard he screams, he can't do anything.But the boy was still playing persistently.

Under the cold light of the flashlight, his fingers floating on the black and white keys were as pale as bones.

He played so hard that his fingertips would hurt every time he played a note.

In the end, the sound of the piano seemed to be overwhelmed by the viscous and heavy air, and finally disappeared.

The boy put his hands down, but didn't look back.

He just hunched his back slightly, sat on the rotten piano bench, and didn't look at Xiao Che, his long white hair curled slightly.Xiao Che noticed that the hem of his white clothes was a little broken, and there were some dark red marks on it, like blood.

That inexplicable sense of guilt surged up again.It was this sense of guilt that made him think about how to break the deadlock in front of him, so he asked, "Why are you playing the piano here in the middle of the night? Don't you guys sleep?"

The boy was silent.

Xiao Che was a little irritable, and asked again: "Where's father? Don't you do it tonight?"

Sneering sounds spread across the room.

After a long time, just when Xiao Che thought the young man wanted to ignore him, the young man finally spoke, his voice was soft and small, the tone was still weird, hoarse as if he hadn't spoken for a long time.But Xiao Che obviously felt the joy overflowing from him: "I knew...you would still come to me."

"What?"

"I've been waiting." The boy still turned his back to Xiao Che, his voice trembling, "Waiting for you to find me."

Xiao Che was stunned for a moment, with a puzzled expression on his face.

The boy went on to say, "You have a question you want to ask."

"Since you know, answer the question I asked you before. Who are you? Don't answer me casually!"

"Monster." The boy whispered.

Xiao Che was annoyed: "Don't do this! What is your identity? What is your relationship with your father? Why is your hair and skin color so weird? Why does your father listen to you so much? Why did my mother lie to me and say that there is something like a redback spider down here?" The monster, obviously I didn't see it at all...and...and..."

The boy didn't answer, as if he was waiting for Xiao Che to say something.

Xiao Che held back for a long time, and finally said: "Why do I always feel that your face...is very familiar?! But I can't think of anyone I knew before who looks like you... Hey! Who are you guys? ?Do I know you?!"

This time, the boy finally turned his head.

In the dark, his blue-purple eyes seemed to glow, and it looked as if there were dim stars shining in them.

But this time, which was rare, Xiao Che didn't think it was so weird or scary.

Could it be the illusion created by the "devil's eye"?

He heard the young man looking at him quietly, and a voice came out of his still red lips: "Xiao Che, turn off the flashlight and come here."

This was the first time the boy called his name.And it's still a nickname!

Xiao Che was quite surprised.Only the classmates in his class call him that!Why did this guy call himself so affectionately all of a sudden?Why turn off the flashlight?What is his plan? !

But what surprised him even more was that he himself was not as disgusted as before, and he was not so scared. At this moment, he wanted to try to trust this seemingly lonely, sad, and familiar woman. people.

When he walked up to him, in the darkness, he felt that the boy sitting on the piano bench also stood up.

Then, one pair is quite cold, almost like ice cubes.
