I let you be a fugitive, not to set up a private army.

"Tell me, why did you bully Zou Yu?"

In the office captured by the camera, in addition to the young man, there was also a teacher, two boys and one girl.

"He always has a bad smell on his body, which makes me sick."

"I don't want to be in the same class with a garbage collector."

"Teacher, we just scared him, we didn't hit him."

The three of them said in succession.

"Did you know that Zou Yu has disappeared?" the young man asked, "Maybe you will be the next one."

"Oh, I really didn't mean it."

"Then, can he still find it?"

"I'm sorry, I know I was wrong."

"What I always say is that now we humans must unite." The teacher sighed.

"Keep in touch with us at all times, that's it for now."

After understanding what happened, the two left the school and heavy snow covered the entire shot.

Audio 3 (telephone follow-up)——

"This is the Demon Hunting Team. Are you Chen Liang's parents? I'd like to ask about Chen Liang's current condition..."

"He died last night."

"Feel sorry."

He Xue paused for a moment, "Please accept my condolences. Did he say anything last night?"

"Well, he said he saw Zou Yu."

Audio 4——

"You are finally here, please come in."

A luxuriously dressed woman led the way. "My child has gone crazy. He's been digging in the yard since this morning. I don't know what he's been doing."

In the yard within the camera, a girl was holding a large shovel, and every time she shoveled, she could dig deep into the ground.

"Brother Zhong, something is wrong."

"Ah."

The camera pans to a tree, where sunlight shines down and the tree's shadows sway. Then, back to the girl, only the shovel in her hand casts a shadow.

The woman took over the conversation: "That's not true. She doesn't usually have that much strength."

"I have been doing farm work since I was a child, and I have always been very strong." The girl suddenly turned her face back, her eyes bloodshot.

"Nonsense," the woman continued. "When have you ever done farm work? Stop digging."

"No, I just want to dig." The girl turned her head back.

"What are you digging?" asked the young man.

"Dig a well."

“Why dig a well?”

"I don't know, I just want to dig."

The notebook reads: Four days later, the woman called and said her daughter had died.

Audio 5——

"I think by the time you receive my video, I should be dead. It's my responsibility that I didn't educate my students well. My death is not a pity."

The teacher sat in the sunlit playground, calmly facing the camera. "This video is a record of my past few days. I hope it can be helpful to you. I don't know when the strange things will disappear, when humans will be able to live in a safe and peaceful place without fear."

"I should still be in the playground, but I'm not there anymore. I've come to a house. If nothing goes wrong, it should be No. 4 Fulin Lane."

A figure in white was reflected in the teacher's shrunken pupils.

“Sizzle…Crack…Crack…Crack…”

"She is coming."

The teacher's pupils dilated and froze.

Video 1——

"Teacher, they are all dead. I am the only one left. Please save me. My roommates have heard about this and have all moved out. What should I do?"

"I'll be with you."

The lights in the dormitory suddenly flickered.

"Teacher, I'm afraid, I'm afraid..."

The lights went completely dark.

Click…click…click…click…click…

With a bang, a body fell from the building.

The rest of the video was blurry, with only a faint white figure visible.

Audio 6——

"Captain, I'm Zhong Dao. Thank you for your training, but unfortunately I can't take over your responsibilities."

"Captain, I'm He Xue. I feel a little regretful and want to see him again... But since I can be with Brother Zhong, I'm not too sad."

On the dark street, two people walked side by side. Amidst a creepy sound, snowflakes directly covered the two people and turned them into snowmen.

The notebook reads:

When I saw that Zhong Dao, who I had high hopes for, had already stopped breathing, I felt despair at that moment. I even thought about giving up, giving up, and forgetting it...

Until I saw Zhong Dao and He Xue being moved away, there was a wild grass surviving firmly in the ice between the two of them.

What a tough scene!!

And their child, the little guy named Zhong Yan, is a genius who is even more outstanding than his father.

Humanity’s hope and fire are everlasting.

……

In the 54th year of the Strange Chronicle, I suddenly received an unexpected phone call.

Audio

"Is that Captain Zhou?"

"Yes."

"I'm Jiang Hui, I met her."

Notebook records:

I rushed to the hospital and saw Jiang Hui lying peacefully, having passed away a while ago. The phone call just now was her last sign of life.

For the past fourteen years, I have been following Jiang Hui. She was diagnosed with a terminal illness years ago, and it cannot be confirmed whether Shui Ling killed her.

There is one thing I don’t understand, why did Shui Ling appear before Jiang Hui died?

Does it mean: He just lacks humanity, but may also have warmth?

Too many people have died at No. 4 Fulin Lane.

I think it's time to find my old teammates and find an answer.

Zhong Yanqing is better than his teacher. Although he is still young, he is already a better successor than me and will definitely lead the Starfire Demon Hunting Team well.

……

End of the Curtain: That same year, I stepped into the ominous house.
