1. "Damn it, I forgot to bring the card," I lamented as I just got downstairs after school. The entrance door of our residential unit is induction-based; you need to swipe a card to get in. So, I ended up only bringing my keys and not the card, thus being unable to enter. Fortunately, the elevator in the parking lot was still accessible, so I had to unhappily head towards the parking lot. There's a security booth inside our neighborhood's parking lot, unlike those in malls which are usually set on the walkways. However, this place stays warm in winter and cool in summer, making it a good spot. But when I entered the parking lot, I shivered from the cold. What was going on? It felt unusually cold, which wasn't normal. At this moment, a black Santana stopped at the entrance, incessantly honking for the guard to open the gate. However, after a long while, there was no response. From where I stood, it seemed like the guard was asleep. The driver, becoming impatient, got out of his car ready to scold the guard but instead, with widened eyes in horror, let out a high-pitched scream after a long pause. When I took a closer look, the guard's face was already bloodied and mangled, revealing only white teeth as if in mockery of a grin.
Weeks later, I once again left without my card and headed to the parking lot. Because it was raining, it became dark early. As I was walking towards the elevator, suddenly a strong beam of headlights blinded me. Damn! After regaining my composure, much to my dismay, it was a funeral home vehicle. Feeling extremely unlucky, I turned around to leave but in an instant saw someone lying inside the car—it was me! Frightened, I quickly ran towards the elevator. Just as I turned around, that car topped with white flowers reappeared before my eyes. I ran all over the empty parking lot, but every time I didn’t run far, the car would eerily stop right in front of me. I finally broke down. Squatting on the ground crying, suddenly I heard the engine roar. That car which had been chasing me soundlessly now charged at me with full power. I died.
Looking at my bloodied self, I was at a loss. At this point, the previously deceased guard approached me. "Now you know fear, MD! Who told you to post curses! And even worse, so many people helped forward them! You, deserve to die!"
2. 【Nightmare】I had that dream again, that strange dream. In the dream, there was a man whose face I couldn't see clearly, using a sharp carving knife to carve one cut after another on my body. While doing so, he kept saying, "I'll carve you to death, make you taste my pain!" I rolled around in agony, but he wouldn't give me any respite. "Ring Ring Ring" the alarm clock saved me in time. Waking up from the dream, I was still filled with dread. That dream was too vivid. After brushing my teeth, washing my face, and eating breakfast, I went to school with my backpack. Perhaps due to last night's strange dream, I was very sleepy during class today. Unable to hold on, I nodded off and fell into a deep sleep. In the dream, that man carved me again with his knife. This time, I kicked him forcefully with my foot, and he rolled aside. Finally, I saw his face, what kind of face was it?! It was covered with crusted scars, and on his exposed arms, legs, and feet, they were everywhere. As he disappeared in an instant, I saw a faint line of words on his face: "What the heck." Sweating profusely, I woke up from the dream and found the teacher's gaze "caringly" fixed on me. Embarrassed, I lowered my head. After all, the teacher was reading my essay as an example, yet the main character was snoring loudly... I guessed he must have wanted to kill me. But I didn't have time to care about that because in the moment I lowered my head, I saw a familiar line of words on the table: "What the heck." Along with the ravines I carved on the table when I was in a bad mood with a small knife. I seemed to understand something. Maybe, every thing has a soul. I leaned down, gently said "Sorry" to the desk, and then I saw a line of words float up on the table: "Please take care of public property."
3. 【QQ Music...】I plugged my MP4 into the computer and opened QQ Music to start downloading songs, including the latest update from Genius Doctor. Since the space was already too full, after downloading a few songs, the rest showed red letters indicating download failure. I was annoyed and thinking of deleting those songs, but since I'm nostalgic, naturally, I couldn't bear to delete them. At this time, the system prompted that an audio file had been downloaded successfully. I was confused—wasn't there no space left? However, one song is better than none, so I happily put on my headphones to listen. After opening the unknown file, I didn't hear any sound for a long time. Was the intro really that long? As I was wondering, the headphones suddenly transmitted the sound of a woman's high heels clicking rapidly, sounding as if the woman was very anxious, her steps hurried. Then came a short but sharp scream. I was confused—what kind of terrible song was this? There was silence in the headphones for a few seconds, then a woman's voice began singing, an unknown song, ethereal and profound, and I unconsciously became entranced. At this moment, the little penguin (QQ) made a beeping sound, and I suddenly realized that I didn't know when I had wrapped the mouse around my neck and kept tightening it with my hands. I quickly removed the wire and gasped for breath. The headphone wire also fell off, and the song echoed in the empty room. Scared, I hid behind the armchair—this was too eerie! I clicked on the little penguin to seek help, and the chat window popped up with only one line of text: "The name of this song is 'The Road of Death'." Then, the speakers boomed, hurting my eardrums painfully. The sound kept getting louder, and the computer desk started shaking...
Li Bowen was surfing the net at home when suddenly an ad popped up. In the news section, it read: Last night, a female student who was alone at home mysteriously bled from the seven orifices and died. The police have intervened in the investigation. He laughed and thought how unstable society was these days. At this moment, he suddenly noticed that an unknown song called "The Road of Death" had appeared in his music list. Confused, he clicked on it...
4. 【Height-Increasing Medicine】I have a male friend who looks quite sunny and cheerful, with a good personality, and is generally pretty decent in all aspects—he’s the aforementioned Li Bowen. However, his biggest worry is his height; he has always wanted to grow taller. Every time, I mock him by saying that his childish appearance suits him best when he's short. One day, we went out to eat together. He loves meat, so he ordered two steamer baskets of dumplings. Because I had eaten a lot of snacks beforehand, I didn't touch my chopsticks and instead mocked him by saying, "Eat more, otherwise, you won't grow taller." With his mouth full of soup, he indistinctly said, "Why are these dumplings so delicious? The meat filling is different from usual, especially fresh!" At that time, I was browsing the ghost story forum on my phone and happened to see a post titled "Human Meat Dumplings," which talked about how the protagonist found the dumplings at a certain shop particularly delicious, only to later discover they were made from human meat. I showed him the post, and his face immediately turned green. He called the boss over and asked, "Boss, what kind of filling is this? Is it not ordinary meat?" I could hear the tremor in his voice. The boss's face was pale, and with a strange smile, he said, "You noticed?" "Ah!!! These dumplings really are strange!" As he bent down vomiting, I heard the boss mutter, "I added some pig growth hormone to your order because you're short. How ungrateful!"
5. 【Swear Words】When I sent the article I wrote to Li Bowen, he said to me, "**** your mother every day!" I was angry, really angry. He always likes to swear, completely disregarding others' feelings. One day, while he was on the toilet at home, after a "thud," he sighed in relief and reached for the toilet paper. A delicate hand holding toilet paper extended before his eyes, "Do you need this?" "Thank you." After wiping himself, he realized who that hand belonged to. The more he thought about it, the more scared he became, and he rushed out of the bathroom in a flash. However, he collided with someone in the corridor. My goodness! That was clearly a ghost! The ghost held toilet paper and gradually approached him step by step. He retreated to the corner, but the female ghost persisted. The ghost's face drew closer, the rotting flesh falling off in chunks, and the corpse water was almost touching him. An overwhelming stench enveloped him. Desperately, he stared wide-eyed as the female ghost softly opened her mouth, smiled coyly, and said, "Shit!"
