Aoba Office

I saw what was happening in the girl's consciousness.

The girl's father reads her a bedtime story. She listened to her father's voice and felt the warm orange light beside her pillow, and fell into sleep. Until the sound of breaking glass woke her up, and when she opened her eyes, she saw a dark indoor environment.

It’s not completely dark either. There is moonlight coming in outside the window. The curtains with cats and rabbits printed on them are not so thick and cannot block the moonlight.

The wind blew and blew the curtains. The kittens and rabbits on the curtains became distorted.

She felt cold and uneasy.

She saw a hand reach out from behind the curtain.

The curtains fell again.

Under the curtains, a protruding figure appeared.

Someone climbed in through the window.

The girl panicked, but she couldn't make a sound. She doesn't actually have to make a sound. She can use her abilities to make her father "hear" her voice.

She screamed at the top of her lungs, shouting "Daddy" in her mind. Her father was still asleep, but had heard her voice and was waking up.

The curtains were moved by the figure and flew up.

The man didn't lift the curtains, he just kept walking forward.

The curtains slipped from his body, allowing the girl to see his appearance clearly.

It was a black shadow.

I can only identify this thing through the girl's memory. Girls probably can't see Yin Qi. The authenticity of the girl's memory is also open to question.

I didn't see any obvious aura from this black shadow.

The girl stared at the dark figure with wide eyes. The black shadow walked towards her step by step and stretched out his hand to her, as if to catch her.

"Hey! Who are you!" The girl's father shouted from the door.

There was a sound of whirring, and something hit the black figure, scattering it.

The girl's father originally rushed over, but now he was stunned.

The black image is like a ball of cotton. After being scattered, it fell to the ground, then flew up lightly and condensed into shape.

The girl's father turned around and shouted: "Baby! Run!"

The girl was still stiff. After hearing her father's voice, she finally made a sound, but it was a cry.

"Dad..." As soon as she shouted, she looked behind her father intently.

The pounding of her heart drowned out her father's cries. Everything seems to be in slow motion. The girl's father opened his mouth to shout something, then realized something was wrong and slowly turned his head.

The black shadow had become extremely huge, with its waist reaching the roof. The whole figure was bent over, with its back pressed against the ceiling. The figure shrouded the father and daughter.

Its head without features lowered, touched the girl's father, and devoured the girl's father's head.

A little color appeared on the black head, the color of human skin. Immediately afterwards, something squirmed under the skin, and eyes, nose, and mouth appeared.

That was the face of the girl's father. It stared at the girl expressionlessly.

The black shadow was still devouring the girl's father. After devouring the body bit by bit, he turned into the appearance of the girl's father.

With a clang, the baseball bat that the girl's father was holding fell to the ground.

The figure was still huge. The hand it extended to the girl was also extremely huge.

The girl screamed, her nerves shattered by fear, and she fainted.

When the girl regained consciousness, she was lying in the hospital ward.

The police told the girl that a neighbor heard her screams and called the police. The police arrived and found the man's body lying next to the girl's bed. Her father was hit in the head with a baseball bat and died on the spot. The police found traces of intrusion on the window of the girl's room and concluded that the criminal who broke into the house encountered the girl's father and a fight broke out.

"It's a monster! A huge, huge black person!" the girl said eagerly to the police.

No one believed this.

The girl’s aunt who was called by the police didn’t believe this either. She didn't even know the girl had superpowers at the time. All he knew was that his sister-in-law ran away from home and his brother was beaten to death by criminals. Her niece looked scared out of her mind.

Before she sent the girl to an orphanage, she discovered the girl's superpowers. She saw that the girl was speaking to her in her mind without having to speak. She also saw the illusion constructed by the girl and saw the black shadow. However, she didn't take it seriously.

She just saw the wealth that a girl's abilities could bring.

A year passed like this.

The girl was lying on the bed, thinking about this.

She had a bad feeling.

Today is May 21st, the day she saw that dark shadow, the day her father died.

Aunt Emily had no memory of the incident. She still remembers.

She looked towards the window of the room.

The curtains on the window were not closed, so you could see the small trees outside the window and the houses opposite.

The girl kept her eyes open.

When she was tired, she couldn't hold it any longer, blinked and closed her eyes.

She thought she must stay awake, she must stay awake, but she gradually fell asleep.

I heard a noise outside the house.

Those young people seemed to have broken something and were making a noise. The music got louder and the music changed. The roar of the rock singer turned into pure music. The sound of the music was a bit unsettling, like the background music that often appears in horror movies. The noise was drowned out by the sound of music.

I saw the girl in her sleep frowning. Such music makes her uncomfortable. She had not been asleep to begin with, but now she seemed to be about to wake up.

I flew to the window and took a look. There was nothing unusual outside the window.

I passed through the door again and reached the corridor.

The light in the living room can reach here, and the sound can also be heard.

The young men were arguing about what seemed to be a problem with the music player. Some of them were still laughing and did not take this change seriously.

I didn't feel any yin energy.

After moving a certain distance toward the living room, I found that I had reached my limit and could not move any further.

But this position is enough for me to see clearly what's going on in the living room.

Several people gathered around the stereo, while others were lying around, drinking and smoking.

The room was full of smoke.

I looked down at the ground.

The floor of the room was very ordinary, with a carpet spread in the middle of the living room.

I saw some shadows on the floor. The outline of the shadow was a bit strange, not like the shadow cast by furniture or people.

Under my gaze, the shadow began to move. It's expanding!

The shadow touched the carpet, and soon the corner of the carpet turned black.

Those young people didn't know anything yet.

The black shadow continued to expand until it covered the entire ground, and no one noticed that something was wrong.

"What is this? Is it dirty?" Someone squatted down, shook his body, and touched the floor.

The black shadow quickly sprang up, swallowed up the man's fingers, and went further up, covering the man entirely!

The others heard his exclamation and turned their heads.

The engulfed figure lay on the ground as if melting, blending into the shadows of the floor. A raised outline appeared in the shadows. From black came other colors.

"Hey! What are you doing lying on the ground? You can't do it anymore?" The man holding the beer bottle stepped forward and kicked the figure emerging from the ground.

The figure slowly got up. It was exactly the same as the person before, but it had no expression, like a replica of a wax figure.

He looked at the man who kicked him, without saying a word or making any other movements.

The man seemed unhappy at being stared at like that, and cursed loudly with a tigerish face.

when!

The weird music stopped after a heavy sound.

Everyone looked at the stereo, and for a while, no one paid attention to the small conflict here. Even the man turned his head.
