Chapter 046 Shadow Man-2
"Mommy...I'm so hungry..."
"Hold...I want mommy to hold me..."
The sound of Naannuo slowly reached Jiang Yan's ears. He was shocked and terrified. After a long while, he turned his head stiffly and looked towards the source of the sound.
His sight finally settled on the trash can next to the table.
[The host's dog: Why is the host silent? Is he feeling guilty? Should he unplug the network cable next?]
[Salty Sister Tianxia Digest: Maybe it’s a relative’s child…]
[Big Jiji Boy: Fart.]
Jiang Yan walked to the trash can, looked inside, and his pupils suddenly dilated. He saw the paper man he had thrown into the trash can was scratching the edge of the trash can, as if trying to get out.
There are four paper figures in total. Some are big, some are small, some are tall, and some are short. If you look closely, they are easy to distinguish.
The one who was about to climb out was the tallest. The fat guy with only his head sticking out was also a thin guy and a short guy who were still spinning in circles in the trash can.
The paper figures clearly had no mouths, but Jiang Yan felt that they could "open their mouths" and speak.
The tall one was the one who kept yelling that he was hungry, and the fat one was the one who wanted to be hugged. The former's voice was weak as if he was really hungry, while the latter's voice was like a newborn fat baby.
Am I opening the trash can wrong?
Jiang Yan was silent.
He raised his head, took a deep breath, and then looked out again. The four paper figures were still there. But the tall man had already climbed out of the trash can, or more precisely, fell off the edge of the trash can, and landed at Jiang Yan's feet with a "pia" sound.
It really is just a paper man, flat, thin, and only the size of a palm.
Jiang Yan wiped his eyes, still trying hard to convince himself that it was "just an hallucination."
Until the tall paper man stumbled and fell at his feet, stood up and grabbed his trouser legs, and shouted in a cute little voice: "Mommy, I'm hungry, food."
The ginger and salt did not move at all.
The little paper man actually started to cry, wiped his face with one hand, and said in a sobbing voice: "Woo woo, I want to drink milk!"
Jiang Yan's eyebrows twitched twice, his worldview was somewhat overturned.
In addition to him, the audience in the live broadcast room also heard it. Since Jiang Yan had walked out of the visible range of the camera at this moment, the computer screen only showed the background of the room, and the barrage of comments had become crazy with curiosity.
[18cm Da Meng 1: Give me your money back, I won’t add you on WeChat anymore! ]
[Lonely, lonely and cold: If you are new here and don’t understand, please ask, is this the male mother anchor? ]
[Big Jiji Boy: How did the anchor give birth? I want to have one too.]
Jiang Yan caught a glimpse of the crazy comments on the computer screen. He rubbed his eyes, and after thinking it over again and again, he decided to turn off the live broadcast.
"Sorry, something urgent happened. Today's live broadcast will end here first."
[Xianxian Tianxia Diyi:? Brother, please don’t do this. I’m scared.]
[Drank fake wine: OK, it's confirmed, the anchor is actually a woman, the woman in women's clothing is the real him, and the previous few live broadcasts in men's clothing were women dressed as men. And behind the scenes, she is a mother who may be in her thirties. This beauty effect is really harmful, report it.]
[A passerby who does not want to reveal his name: Hurry up and get your husband out, let’s face off!!]
[System prompt: This live broadcast has ended. Click the screen to view the host's historical contributions.]
"Can you...hear me?"
Jiang Yan squatted down and looked at the little paper man that was holding up his trouser legs. He raised his pair of dark eyes to look at the other person's faceless face. Although there were no facial features, he felt that the little paper man was also looking at him.
"I can hear... what Mommy says..." The little paper man spoke intermittently, raising his little hand towards Jiang Yan, as if wanting to hold hands with him.
Jiang Yan hesitated for a moment, stretched out his hand, and then one of his fingers was wrapped by the other party's entire palm.
If we ignore the size, the paper man's hands are the same as those of a normal person, with distinct fingers and a slightly convex back of the hand.
Jiang Yan felt the thin and slightly cool hand of the little paper man. He was a little curious, so he hooked the finger that was held by the little paper man forward. As a result, the other party lost his balance and fell forward with his forward movement. He fell to the ground with a "ah" again.
“Mommy…it hurts…” The little paper man rubbed his butt, but still held on to Jiang Yan’s finger, even though that was the culprit that caused him to fall.
It's magical.
Jiang Yan thought.
"What are you?"
The little paper man stammered, "I... am not... a thing."
“…”
In the silence, the fat man also flipped out of the trash can. His face and body were obviously wider than the other paper figures, so it took him a lot of effort to stand up again after falling to the ground.
The fat guy walked even slower, and he also staggered all the way to Jiang Yan's other foot, pulling at the trouser leg in front of him, and said in a soft, baby voice: "Mommy...I want a hug."
Seeing this, Jiang Yan said expressionlessly: "I'm not your mother."
"But Daddy said...you are..."
The fat man spoke indistinctly, and Jiang Yan had to work hard to understand him clearly.
Jiang Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, "Who is your daddy?"
Also a paper figure?
When it came to Daddy, the two paper figures fell silent again.
Jiang Yan lowered his head and covered his face with his hands, laughing a few times, "Forget it, I guess I'm just hallucinating. I should be normal after I wake up from a good sleep."
“Woo woo.”
The fat boy, who had not received a hug, also started crying.
However, Jiang Yan ignored them and picked them up and threw them into the trash can.
"Let's eat lunch later. You're not hungry yet. Take a nap first to clear your mind."
Jiang Yan muttered to himself and turned to walk towards the bed.
"Here...here again."
"Wow, mommy...why...don't you hug me?"
"Daddy...Daddy is here."
“So hungry… so hungry…”
The four little paper figures in the trash can were talking to each other, and the noise only stopped when a huge black shadow suddenly appeared on the window covered by sunlight.
"Daddy...I'm so hungry."
Except for the tall guy who was still shouting that he was hungry, the other three little paper men were huddled in the trash can as if they were pretending to be dead.
"You... don't seem to make him happy."
A low, hoarse voice came from the dark shadow in the window. The three little paper figures in the trash can shuddered at the same time. One of the thin ones said while trembling, "Woo, we will try harder next time."
Although the thin man's voice was shaking, he spoke very fluently and was the most fluent among the four little paper figures.
"Okay, if he still can't be satisfied next time, then we'll have to change the batch."
Their father spoke cruel words in gentle tones.
"well…"
The three little paper figures said tremblingly.
Besides being tall, he was also very stupid. He couldn't understand his father's expression and continued to shout, "I'm so hungry...I want to eat..."
Fortunately, his three "brothers" were very powerful and hit him with a hammer, knocking him unconscious and rendering him mute.
It was quiet at the trash can. The dark shadow by the window disappeared, but he did not leave. Instead, he moved to the bedside.
Suddenly, a human-shaped shadow was reflected on the wall where Jiang Yan was sleeping, just above his head, about one centimeter away from the front part of his hair.
Jiang Yan didn't realize anything was wrong. He was sleeping very deeply and was still immersed in his dreams.
The only ones who witnessed all this were the three little paper figures in the trash can who were still awake. They quietly watched their father go to their mother's bedside. They didn't dare to say a word, but just watched silently what happened next.
I saw the black shadow "walking" out of the wall and turned into a blurry human figure that looked like it was pieced together with black clay. It still had no facial features, and even the position of its legs was like that of an octopus. It was not walking on the floor, but swimming in the non-existent "water" below.
The lower body is floating in the shape of waves, but if you only look at the upper body, it is still normal, at least there will not be a large drop in sanity.
Suddenly, Shadow stretched out his hand and placed it on the side of Jiang Yan's face, then gently stroked it, like treating a lover who had been together for a long time. Unfortunately, Shadow had no face, so it was hard to tell his mood at the moment. But overall, at least he was... happy and enjoying himself.
Jiang Yan, who was touched by the shadow, only vaguely felt that there were drops of water flowing on his face, slippery and sticky like snail liquid.
Jiang Yan even dreamed that he fell into the sea, surrounded by unclear black fish. Sometimes they attacked him fiercely, and sometimes they moved away from him, so far away that only a concentrated black dot was left.
"Mommy...I'm so hungry...so hungry..."
"Daddy...is here..."
Suddenly, several strange sounds came from somewhere in the deep sea and turned into bubbles exploding in his ears.
Jiang Yan's ears were buzzing and he even had tinnitus for several seconds, as if he had lost his voice.
But the next second, a huge mirror appeared in the deep sea, right in front of him. He walked closer in confusion, and after seeing what was reflected in the mirror, his pupils suddenly dilated.
The person in the mirror was him—with a big belly.
And those inexplicable sounds in the deep sea before came from his stomach.
“I’m so hungry…”
The sound continued, and Jiang Yan almost had a hallucination that the baby in his stomach was so hungry that it began to gnaw at his intestines. The non-existent pain also began to affect his nervous system, turning his already confused brain upside down.
"No!!!"
Jiang Yan shouted desperately and hysterically, and his voice echoed in the deep sea.
In the sunlight-filled room, Jiang Yan suddenly opened his eyes. He woke up from his dream with sweat all over his forehead. Then he lifted the quilt with a big movement and looked down at his stomach.
Flat.
It was a false alarm.
Fortunately it was just a dream.
It was so real. Just like the two times with the snake and the spider.
Jiang Yan's heart was still beating wildly. He got out of bed and drank a glass of cold water to wake himself up. He picked up his phone and checked the time. It was already five o'clock in the afternoon. He had slept for so long.
Oh, right. I thought of another thing that needs to be proven urgently.
Jiang Yan came to the trash can and looked inside. There was only a pile of garbage and the paper people were gone.
The truth is out.
The stone in his heart fell, and Jiang Yan felt unprecedented relief.
"Gurgle."
His stomach growled.
That’s right, I haven’t had lunch yet, and dinner is almost here.
Jiang Yan curled his lips, tidied up his computer desk and prepared to go out for dinner.
However, just as he was about to walk out of the room, a series of fragmented voices came from behind him -
"Mommy... don't forget to bring... us... we are also... so hungry... so hungry..."
"Mommy... I'm hungry... Food..."
