Look closely, this man's name is Xiao Yu!
He's recently been stalked... and is worried about who's following him!
Cen Yu: "..."
What's that buzzing sound?!
He opened his eyes and found himself no longer in the house with the pink whale, but in an unfamiliar bedroom.
The system has also disappeared.
"What does that mean?" Cen Yu muttered.
[In other words, host, you need to find that stalker.]
[By the way, this is a horror world (laughs)]
"Are you sick in the head?!" Cen Yu cursed inwardly. By the time he got out of bed, some information had already been sent into his head.
His name is Cen Yu, an ordinary office worker, but three weeks ago he discovered that he had encountered a stalker and... started experiencing sleep paralysis.
What's even more terrifying is that the world seems to have truly fallen into a state of strangeness. He's not the only one; other people in the company have also said that they've been seeing terrifying sights recently.
Cen Yu is a pitiful office worker who shares an apartment with others.
He has three roommates. They don't talk much, but they are all kind people.
Cen Yu fumbled to get dressed, washed up, and glanced at the time. It was only 7 a.m., and there was still a long time before work. The reason she woke up so early was to ride her bike to the company.
When he opened the door, he found someone sitting at the dining table, munching on bread...
Yu Xinyu.
Cen Yu: "?"
Yu Xinyu slowly turned around, her eyes still showing dark circles. "Good morning."
At this moment, the information was also sent into his head. The system told him that this was his roommate number one, the cartoonist Yu Xinyu.
Cen Yu observed Yu Xinyu for a while and found that Yu Xinyu was slow in doing things and speaking, and did not seem to be very good at communicating with people... Cen Yu slowly walked over, took out bread and milk from the refrigerator, and sat opposite Yu Xinyu.
Yu Xinyu seemed unaccustomed to interacting with people, and sat there awkwardly shrugging her shoulders.
"Up so early?" Cen Yu asked, opening the milk.
"Hmm..." Yu Xinyu lowered her head, "I can't sleep a little."
As he spoke, he looked up slightly at Cen Yu, "And you? Why are you up so early too?"
“…” Cen Yu looked at Yu Xinyu, “I’m going to work.”
Yu Xinyu immediately lowered her head, her ears turning red, as if she felt she had asked a stupid question.
Cen Yu took a sip of milk... He glanced at it with a somewhat subtle expression, then put it aside.
"What's wrong?" Yu Xinyu asked.
"It seems to have gone bad." Cen Yu wiped his mouth. "It tastes weird."
Yu Xinyu nodded as if he understood, "Don't drink it if it's spoiled, it's bad for your health." After saying that, he slowly started munching on his bread again.
Cen Yu didn't say anything... He was certain that the milk cap was not opened, but the milk had a strange smell that wasn't spoiled. He glanced at Yu Xinyu sitting opposite him and found that she was looking at her phone and seemed a little afraid to make eye contact with him.
Cen Yu simply ignored him, quickly finished her bread, cleaned up the trash, and prepared to wash her hands and leave.
When he pushed back his chair and stood up, he noticed that Yu Xinyu was looking at him, as if she had something to say.
"What's up?"
Yu Xinyu lowered his head a little embarrassedly, but finally looked up at Cen Yu and said, "I actually wanted to ask..."
Have you experienced sleep paralysis lately?
"I always feel like something's not right, so I can't sleep well."
"No," Cen Yu lied.
He stood by the dining table, looking at Yu Xinyu, "What kind of sleep paralysis?"
"I felt like someone was constantly talking quietly, whispering," Yu Xinyu said, rolling up her sleeve. "And something was grabbing my arm."
Cen Yu looked at Yu Xinyu's rolled-up sleeve and saw a very clear handprint on her arm.
"So I wanted to ask if you've encountered this before," Yu Xinyu said after lowering her sleeves.
Did you ask anyone else?
“No!” Yu Xinyu’s voice rose slightly, but then, realizing he was getting too emotional, he softened his voice. “...I’m not too comfortable talking to them.”
"?" What is there that Yu Xinyu wouldn't dare to do?
Cen Yu was puzzled, but he still asked, "Why?"
"They look so fierce," Yu Xinyu whispered. "I'm a little scared of them."
Is he a bad guy? Who are his other two roommates?
As Cen Yu was pondering, he noticed the door to the rented apartment open, and Gu Hanyin, dressed in sportswear, appeared at the door.
He seemed to have just come back from a run outside, his forehead and body were soaked with sweat... When he saw Cen Yu and Yu Xinyu appear together at the dining table, a slight look of surprise appeared on his usually expressionless face. He then nodded to the two of them, went back to his room, and closed the door.
Now, Cen Yu was genuinely curious about who her remaining roommate would be.
He looked at Yu Xinyu and, sure enough, saw that he had a somewhat frightened expression.
"So scared?" Cen Yu said.
"Hmm." Yu Xinyu touched her face a little shyly, "I'm not very good at communicating with people."
At this moment, Gu Hanyin's information also entered Cen Yu's mind—
In this world, the other person is a miserable screenwriter whose scripts are not appreciated by anyone, and now he is writing short dramas about "Wang Ma" on the side.
Cen Yu: "..."
The difference is really huge!
Seeing that it was getting late, Cen Yu decided to get ready for work first, and then she saw the door to the last room finally open.
