How old are you?
There sat a high school student, handsome and with an extraordinary aura, on a chair, feeling incredibly frightened by what had just happened.
"What's your name?" asked a middle-aged man slowly.
"My name is Lin Yao."
"There's no need to be so nervous, this is just a routine," the middle-aged man said gently.
"Could you tell me in detail about what you experienced just now?"
Lin Yao nodded and began to recount the incident:
"Today, after school, my friends and I were walking together. When we got to a tunnel, we heard some sparse sounds, and at first, we thought it was just some small animals. But then a scream came, and we couldn't just ignore it, could we? So we ran towards the direction of the scream. When we got there, we saw two 'people': one squatting and one lying down. The one lying down was clearly not right; its leg was so pale it was almost purple. My other friend and I were a bit intimidated, but one of us was quite brave. He told us to follow behind him, and that's how we approached. When we got closer, we saw the squatting man seemed to be eating something. My brave friend tapped his shoulder, and the man stood up. He was estimated to be about three meters tall. My friend who's 188 cm tall is already considered tall in our school, but this creature was twice as tall as him. The most terrifying part was when it turned around—its face wasn't human at all. It was extremely distorted, and it had a horn on its head. We were so scared we couldn't move. The monster suddenly punched my friend's head, and his head just exploded! At that moment, we didn't care about anything else and turned to run. My physical fitness is pretty good among my peers, so I wasn't killed by the monster, but my other friend wasn't so lucky. I heard a loud noise behind me, and I knew he was gone too. When I turned to look back, the monster was right behind me. I don't remember what happened after that.
After listening to the long account, the middle-aged man didn't seem surprised at all. He just slowly closed his notebook, as if this kind of thing had happened many times before.
"Is that the whole story?"
Lin Yao nodded.
The middle-aged man smiled at Lin Yao and asked,
"Do you want to join us?"
