"Happy birthday!"
The light in the living room shone on the light yellow tablecloth, appearing incredibly warm. Dad and Mom entered the room carrying cakes.
They never bring bad emotions from work home, with smiles on their faces. Although they have been busy all day, there is no sign of fatigue.
Opening the kitchen curtain, Gao Ming walked out with freshly prepared food. He didn't speak to his parents and sat alone at the dining table.
"This child..." Dad shook his head helplessly, took off his raincoat and rubber shoes, and placed the slippers at his mother's feet.
The dad in a straight suit is very gentlemanly, tall and handsome. The mom in a white shirt and jeans is gentle and capable. She praises her high standard cooking skills and then throws the dirty clothes she changed into the bathroom.
The sound of water flowing echoed, and after Mom finished washing her hands, there were still a few dark red stains left on the sink.
"Today is your birthday, no matter how busy we are with work, we will come back to accompany you."
Gao Ming didn't seem to hear his parents. He lowered his head and listened carefully to the news reports on TV.
"Rainy Night Murder Demon Returns! The Third Murder Case Occurred in the Old City District of Our City!"
"The police have identified the suspect's identity! Please do not panic, lock the doors and windows, and try not to go out late at night!"
The rainstorm hit the window glass, and the howling wind outside formed a sharp contrast with the steaming food inside.
"Why do you keep reading these news?" Dad picked up the remote control, feeling worried. "Some media outlets like to rely on anxiety and misfortune to increase their attention."
Gao Ming didn't respond, he quietly shifted his gaze and scanned the warm cabin.
All the walls have been equipped with sound insulation layers and coated with sound-absorbing paint. As long as there is not too much violent twisting in this house, the neighbors have no idea what is happening inside.
The living room has been replaced with a brand new air-cooled refrigerator, which relies on a fan to blow air into the interior of the refrigerator for cooling. The stored meat is not easy to smell and there is no odor.
The kitchen has a large number of fresh-keeping bags that can fit fist sized chunks of meat, making it easy to carry. Under the counter is a heating agent, which can accelerate meat decay when mixed with water. So... a portion of the meat is stored in the refrigerator, while another portion is taken out and scattered for burial?
There is a plastic anti-seepage film behind the bathroom door, which is enough to cover the bathroom. It seems that the meat has been processed here.
Of course, the meat that needs to be processed in the bathroom is definitely not serious meat.
Just looking at the clean and tidy ground, some bad scenes had already emerged in Gao Ming's mind.
The overall decoration style of the room is very warm, but his hands are slightly trembling.
"Come, eat the cake. Your father and I braved the heavy rain to retrieve it." After washing our hands, Mom opened the cake packaging and carefully inserted eighteen candles on top.
"Eighteen candles..." Gao Ming is twenty-six years old this year, and the number of candles is incorrect.
"Make a wish?" Dad lit the candle and Mom turned off the light.
Darkness shrouded the living room, and the firelight flickered, reflecting the faces of father and mother. They stared at Gao Ming in the dark, and the same smile appeared on their faces.
"Are they humans or monsters? Or are they humanoid monsters?"
As their mouths slowly dilated, the fathers and mothers bound in the bedroom saw Gao Ming, blood streaks appeared in their eyes. They were like fish thrown on the shore, vigorously shaking their bodies and struggling. At the same time, a hoarse voice began to sound in their throats - stay here!
Stay here!!!
Lighting a cigarette, Gao Ming leaned against the door frame and silently watched everything.
He has been trapped in this room for three days now, and the cause of the incident may have started three days ago.
On the night of Zhongyuan Festival, he resigned from his job as a psychological tutor in Henshan Prison for Serious Offenders, preparing to design and create games full-time.
At exactly 23:00, he took the last bus from Hanjiang City to Hanhai City. At that time, he was designing a small game on the bus to enhance family relationships and enhance the quality of family relationships. In order to support himself, he also implanted an advertisement for the landlord's cake shop.
The general idea is to hope that parents can spend more time with their children, go home every night to chat with them, and no matter how busy they are, they should not ignore their children's feelings. Taking care of them is responsibility, and companionship is love.
The number of passengers on the bus gradually decreased. Around 1 o'clock in the morning, the bus inexplicably stopped in a tunnel. Gao Ming took off his headphones and stood up to check. He found that he was the only one left on the bus, and even the driver was missing.
He got off the car carrying his luggage and heard someone talking in front of him, so he quietly followed them.
A crucial period of memory loss occurred in the future, and Gao Ming didn't even know how he got home. He only vaguely remembered seeing something very terrifying.
He locked himself at home in a state of panic, but at three o'clock in the morning, he was awakened by a knock on the door. As soon as he opened the door, he found his parents standing outside with a cake in hand.
Gao Ming invited his parents into the house and went to get his slippers, but at that moment he received a call from his own mother.
Mom said that it will be heavy rain in Hanhai for the next few days, and she hopes that Gao Ming will take good care of herself and pay attention to safety.
The chill instantly climbed onto Gao Ming's spine. As he turned around, he saw his father and mother hanging their heads, standing side by side behind him.
Birthday cake, companionship, dad and mom
The scenes in the game "Improving the Quality of Family Relationships" have become a reality, and there have been some "slight" changes!
He had also tried to escape, but outside the anti-theft door, it was pitch black and gloomy, as if connected to another abnormal world.
There's no way, Gao Ming had to try to pass the game he designed.
What is the difficulty of alienation in a small game that enhances family relationships? Isn't it that after turning off the lights, dad and mom will become monsters? Isn't it that dad and mom come over every night? Isn't it just about living in a home that has turned into a slaughterhouse and successfully reaching the age of eighteen, so that my father and mother can complete their companionship?
Looking back on his experiences over the past three days, Gao Ming's eyelids were trembling. Besides, he didn't want to eat cake for the rest of his life.
Putting out the cigarette butts, Gao Ming pushed the last two "parents" into the bedroom, and all the faces of the fathers and mothers began to twist, as if they were unwilling to leave.
