His voice was hoarse, piercing my eardrums like the sound of metal scraping against metal, wild and jarring. In the empty corridor, his laughter echoed one after another, like a death knell, sending chills down my spine. I bit my lip hard, trying to suppress any sound.
He said... I woke up, which meant he had been here while I was unconscious. So he was the one who knocked me out...
Boom! A loud crash shook the door violently. My heart raced, and my breath caught in my throat. He was kicking the door! With each kick, the sound grew closer, as if it were not hitting the door but striking at my heart!
"Do you know how long I've been waiting for you?" The voice outside continued, sounding almost amused as he kicked the door and laughed. "Today happens to be the Lunar Fifteenth, right?"
"My bowl is missing just your pair of eyes..."
Lunar Fifteenth? Waiting for me? Waiting for my... eyes? His tone suddenly rose sharply, his voice piercing like metal scraping against glass, causing pain to anyone listening. That sentence felt like a spell, endlessly looping in my mind.
Terrified, I pressed myself against the door. My mind raced to recall everything that had happened today, forming a bizarre image in my head.
...
Lunar Fifteenth, with a large, round blood-red moon hanging in the sky. On the ground was a square drawn in blood, surrounded by dense writings in an incomprehensible script. A person stood in the center of the square holding a bowl. Inside that bowl was his most important possession—
A pair of bloody eyes.
The person first held the bowl and laughed at me with a cackling sound, while the eyes in the bowl seemed to have a life of their own, staring intently at me.
I saw him raise the pair of eyes in the bowl, offering them as a sacrifice to the moon in the sky.
And now, he was looking for the next pair of eyes.
Those eyes were mine.
I leaned against the door, recalling the two shriveled spheres I had seen earlier, and my stomach began to churn violently again.
Those two spheres lay quietly in the bowl, like two peeled boiled eggs, only they were slightly smaller and their color was off.
Boiled eggs are white, but they were grayish-black, as if they were moldy.
At that time, I thought they were just two strange eggs, but now that I think about it...
They were clearly human eyes!
Thinking of this made me gag a few times, and goosebumps rose on my skin.
I couldn't understand how he managed to do all this and why he would want to.
Who exactly was he, and how could I escape...?
Time passed second by second, and my legs became completely numb from squatting for so long. I had no choice but to quietly shift my body weight from my left leg to my right leg.
However, such a small movement triggered a huge reaction—
The old wooden door let out a long creaking sound.
This noise was particularly jarring in the silent corridor; I wanted to cover my ears, but it was already too late.
He had heard it.
Sure enough, the kicking at the door intensified.
I bit my lower lip and pressed against the door with all my strength, fearing that he would kick it open.
"What's wrong? Lost your strength?"
Mao Wang sneered outside, laughing so hard he could barely catch his breath.
"What's wrong? Can't you come out obediently if you're out of strength?"
