"Thank you, Mom." Pengpeng happily hugged Lin Xiawei's neck.

She felt a sudden surge of fear for no apparent reason, but Lin Xiawei didn't take it too seriously.

"Then you sit here and play with your phone for a while. Mom will make you a cake." Lin Xiawei rubbed her son's little head, stood up and walked towards the kitchen.

Since her husband disappeared three years ago, she has been raising her son alone, and the mother and son depend on each other for survival.

Her son Pengpeng is everything to Lin Xiawei.

"Mother."

My son's voice suddenly came from behind me.

Lin Xiawei stopped and turned to ask, "What's wrong, Pengpeng? Is there anything else you want to eat?"

Peng Peng's expression on the sofa made Lin Xiawei feel a little strange. She tilted her head slightly and asked a strange question:

"Mom, you will always love me, right?"

Lin Xiawei smiled and said, "Of course, Pengpeng is the apple of my eye. Of course, I will love you forever."

After saying that, Lin Xiawei walked into the kitchen and began to prepare the cake.

Compared to usual, the kitchen today is exceptionally clean and everything seems in good order.

Lin Xiawei was a little touched. Her son was so young and yet so sensible. He had always been naughty, but now he knew to help his mother clean the kitchen.

She reached out to open the cupboard with a relieved mood, ready to take out the ingredients for making the cake.

But the moment she saw clearly what was inside the cupboard, she was stunned for a moment.

Stunned, horrified, and incredulous.

Lin Xiawei's eyes widened and she subconsciously covered her mouth with her hands, but she still couldn't avoid screaming.

I saw my son Pengpeng with a pale face and a terrified expression, his body curled up and stuffed in the cupboard.

Lin Xiawei felt weak all over and her body was trembling. She couldn't believe what she saw.

If the person in the cupboard is his son Pengpeng, then who is the one outside?

Tears kept sliding down the corners of Lin Xiawei's eyes.

Regardless of whether the son in front of her was real or fake, as a mother, she could not stop the grief in her heart when she saw his appearance.

Lin Xiawei went forward and took her son out of the cupboard. Feeling the stiffness and coldness of the body, which was the temperature of death, Lin Xiawei felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife.

In just a moment, the mother-son connection, the induction from the blood, made Lin Xiawei extremely sure that the person in her arms was her son Pengpeng.

"Mother."

The voice of "son Pengpeng" coming from behind made Lin Xiawei feel like she was falling into an icy cave.

"Son Pengpeng" stood at the kitchen door, looking at his heartbroken mother Lin Xiawei, with a strange smile on his face.

He walked towards Lin Xiawei step by step, and his body began to change.

The child's body gradually grew and turned into a monster nearly two meters tall.

The monster was covered in a dark green shell, and its back looked like it was carrying a huge insect pupa. Its head was like a hood, and the face under the hood was a skull face covered by a pair of hands.

The abdomen below the skull face is covered with several pairs of claws similar to insect limbs, and the body is densely covered with eyes similar to insect eyes.

The monster's hands were a pair of sharp claws, which were now grabbing towards Lin Xiawei's back.

"ah!"

At the critical moment of death, Lin Xiawei suddenly stood up with a scream, holding her son's body, pushed the monster away and ran towards the living room.

The monster looked at the frightened Lin Xiawei calmly, and the shadow of Peng Peng appeared on its face. While making Peng Peng sounds, it walked towards Lin Xiawei as if playing with its prey.

"Mom, didn't you say you would love me forever?"

"Mom, don't run, stay with me."

"Mom, are you afraid of me?"

"I'm a better person than the one who died, right?"

Lin Xiawei trembled all over and tried her best to open the door. Just as she was about to run out, she found a man standing at the door.

He knew this man, he was the security guard of the community.

"There is a monster, there is a monster, it killed my son, save me!" Lin Xiawei ran to the security guard as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw, her voice trembling, crying and begging for help in an almost pleading tone.

However, facing the monster walking into the living room, the security guard remained unmoved. Instead, he turned to look at Lin Xiawei, and a smile slowly appeared on his face.

"Is this the monster you're talking about?"

Before he could finish his words, the security guard turned into a monster.

Lin Xiawei's eyes widened, and for a moment, they were filled with despair.

The monster opened its claws and grabbed Lin Xiawei's head fiercely.

…………

One o'clock in the morning, at the entrance of the community.

Ning Zhaocuo rode his motorcycle to the underground parking lot of the community as usual.

When I passed by the security booth, I glanced at it casually and found that the security guard was not dozing off today, but was browsing his mobile phone very energetically.

When the security guard saw that Ning Zhao was wrong, he greeted him enthusiastically.

"Xiao Zhao, you're back so late again. The college entrance exam is almost here, young people should make sure to rest."

"It's okay, I'm in good spirits. Uncle, you look good today too." Ning Zhao responded with a smile.

The atmosphere in this community is very good. The residents and security guards are very enthusiastic. They help each other and are very humane.

I parked the car and returned home, but the house was still empty.

Ning Zhaocuo's father is a senior superintendent of the Criminal Department, and his mother is the CEO of an international group. Both of them are extremely busy people, and it is normal for them to be away from home for several months.

In this huge house, only my bedroom is occupied all year round, and every month there is only a long string of cold numbers in my bank account.

The original owner had long been accustomed to this, and Ning Zhaocuo also felt very free this way.

As usual, Ning Zhaocuo made himself a cup of oatmeal, took the oatmeal to the balcony, and sat in the rocking chair to enjoy the night view.

His current body functions no longer require too much sleep.

Taking a short break each day can help you stay energized throughout the day.

Under the bright moonlight, Ning Zhaocuo's eyesight can detect a steel needle several kilometers away, and his hearing can clearly capture the movements in any place in the entire community.

Strictly speaking, he is now a superhuman even if he does not transform into Kamen Rider.

"It's so quiet today." Ning Zhaocuo took a sip of cereal and couldn't help muttering in his heart.

"It's a bit unusually quiet."

In the past, even late at night, there were still many young people having fun in the community, and there were many people staying up late.

But today, as if everyone had agreed on it, looking around, the lights of most residents in the community were off.

There were a few households with lights on, but there was basically no movement.

"Ok?"

Ning Zhaocuo's gaze was focused on a family in the opposite apartment building.

Through the window, a mother and her son were busy doing something in the kitchen.

Ning Zhaocuo also had an impression of this mother and son. They moved in three years ago. The male owner of the house disappeared, leaving behind the mother and son.

The little boy seemed to be called Pengpeng. The community had a Lantern Festival event before, and Ning Zhaocuo was making lanterns with a group of children, and Pengpeng was among them.

A very well-behaved and cute child.

As the view zooms in, Pengpeng and his mother seem to be processing meat.

"It's so late and you're still having a midnight snack." Ning Zhao curled his lips in confusion, but then he realized something was wrong.

As for what was wrong, he couldn't really put it into words; it was just a hunch.

Shaking his head and putting down the cup, Ning Zhao accidentally picked up a comic book beside him.

Just as I was about to open it, there was a knock on the door.

Dong dong dong

Ning Zhaocuo stopped what he was doing and frowned slightly.

Who would knock on my door so late?

Although the neighborhood atmosphere is good, people in this community have always been very sensible and know how to maintain social distance.

Something like this kind of knocking on the door late at night has never happened before.

If one detail is abnormal, it can be explained, but if a bunch of details are abnormal, then there is definitely a problem.

I can't blame myself for being suspicious, but in this world full of monsters, it's never too cautious.

With a casual pull, a belt appeared in Ning Zhaocuo's hand.

"Chong Chong, go and take a look." Ning Zhaocuo said to himself as he put the belt around his waist.

hum!

There were ripples in the space, and a rhinoceros beetle insect appeared out of thin air and flew straight towards the door.

Chapter 3 Transformation, Spider Sacrifice

The community security guard stood expressionlessly at the door of Ning Zhaocuo's house, raising his hand and knocking on the door slowly and rhythmically.

Suddenly, a rhinoceros beetle appeared from nowhere and rushed towards the security guard.

The rhinoceros beetle insect detector was extremely fast, and the security guard couldn't dodge it and was knocked to the ground.

An angry expression instantly appeared on the security guard's face. He opened his mouth and spit a ball of white spider silk towards the flying mechanical rhinoceros beetle.

Fortunately, the rhinoceros beetle insect was very agile and easily avoided the attack of the spider silk with an extreme twist in the air.

The white spider silk hit the wall behind, instantly corroding a hole several centimeters deep.
