Killing rules? Do you know that after I die, I can be reborn?

001 Don’t look at the moon

Late at night, darkness invades every corner of Los Angeles.

"bite--"

In the dark bedroom, a harsh phone ring rang.

Telephone?

Awakened by the ringing, Bai Jue opened his eyes drowsily.

Ever since his parents divorced when he was a child, his personality has become withdrawn and cold, with almost no friends. Apart from harassing phone calls at night, he can't think of anyone else.

With mixed thoughts, Bai Jue turned over and picked up the phone beside his pillow, pressing the answer button.

"Hello…"

"Xiao Jue, listen to me..."

"Don't look at the moon...definitely...don't look at the moon!"

On the other end of the phone, it was his mother's voice that was almost roaring. In an instant, Bai Jue's eyes widened and he suddenly woke up.

"What's the meaning?"

What his mother said was too sudden, and Bai Jue was a little confused for a moment.

"Don't look at the moon!"

"Don't look at the moon...ah——!"

At the end of the sound, the screams continued.

Bai Jue's whole body also trembled.

"Hello...Mom?" He called in a panic, one after another.

However, there was no response from the other end of the phone for several seconds.

"mom--"

"Look at the moon..."

Suddenly, my mother's voice sounded again.

"The moon is so beautiful tonight, I must...see the moon..."

On the other side of the phone, my mother suddenly laughed, "The moon is so beautiful...so beautiful...hahaha...hahahaha..."

Smiling and laughing, there was crying again.

"What's wrong with you over there!"

"Are you home now?!"

Bai Jue's voice became louder and louder, but.

The call was hung up.

No matter how much he yelled at the glowing screen, he never got any response.

Nerves were tense. In the midst of extreme anxiety, Bai Jue almost didn't even think about it. He put on his clothes and went out. He took a taxi to the place where his mother lived in a neighboring city.

but,

He had just put on his clothes and walked to the door, but his steps stopped.

Out of the corner of my eye, I happened to glance out the window.

The curtains were not drawn, and with his eyes lowered, he could see a man standing on the street next to the building, his eyes dull and dull, looking up at the sky.

He stood still, just staring at the sky, as if there was something in the sky that he couldn't take his eyes away from.

Feeling a bad premonition, Bai Jue stared at the man, his breathing became slow and rapid, and he felt a bit hot.

Just two seconds.

A man standing on the street, looking at the sky...

cracked.

Starting from the head, it was broken bit by bit, like a broken statue that had not been repaired for a long time and suddenly collapsed.

Bai Jue's pupils were trembling, and he even retracted half of his foot that was about to step out of the house.

The scene in front of him was bloody and terrifying enough, and even caused the worldview he had built over the past eighteen years to collapse to a certain extent.

Someone died in front of him.

But this is not the scariest thing.

‘Don’t look at the moon…definitely…don’t look at the moon! ’

‘Don’t look at the moon! ’

‘Don’t look at the moon...ah——! ’

This is what my mother said on the phone a few minutes ago.

Don't look at the moon.

Just now, the man was looking up at the sky.

He just looked at the moon.

Almost instantly, Bai Jue tied the two things together.

"The moon...can't look at the moon!"

He swallowed a big mouthful. Although this sentence sounded a bit ridiculous, Bai Jue had to believe it after what he had just seen with his own eyes.

Instead of going out rashly, he turned on his cell phone and first tried to call his mother back - since being hung up on, he had dialed more than a dozen calls in a row, but without exception, none of them were answered.

Same thing with this phone call.

The phone screen stayed on the dialing interface for a few seconds, but without being answered, Bai Jue hung up on his own initiative.

When he was at a loss, his mother's text message came back.

[Mom: Look at the moon, the moon is beautiful today]

Although the content of the text message was as puzzling and weird as the phone call just now, after a brief loss of contact, his mother responded, and Bai Jue's heart, which had been hanging on, was temporarily relieved.

[Bai Jue: How is the situation over there? Is Uncle Luo by your side? ]

With sweat on his forehead, Bai Jue leaned against the door and typed a reply.

His parents divorced when he was very young, and his mother took care of him until high school, when Bai Jue was admitted to a school in Los Angeles. In order to receive a better education, he was forced to separate from his mother and live alone.

Uncle Luo, on the other hand, is the uncle who has taken care of his mother in recent years and is recognized by him.

The message was sent successfully. After waiting for more than ten seconds, there was no sign of a reply from my mother.

The eyebrows that had just relaxed were furrowed again. Bai Jue put down his phone and turned to look out the window. His eyes fell on the street illuminated by the moonlight. When he saw it, there was nothing.

What about the guy who just died?

It felt like there were small bugs crawling on my scalp, and the nerves that had relaxed after receiving my mother's reply became tense again.

"Hallucination?"

"How is that possible..."

Bai Jue rubbed his eyes hard, his vision was blurred and then clear, and he fell into the street again.

is empty.

Nothing.

It was as if nothing had happened just now.

He tried to use words like 'hallucination' to numb the nerves that were trembling with fear, but the bloody scene of the man's head being torn open still remained in his retinas.

How could such a real scene be an illusion...

Virtual and real memories intertwined. Bai Jue took deep breaths several times, lowered his arms, pinched the flesh of his thighs hard, trying to distinguish them through pain.

It hurts.

Not dreaming.

Sitting on the sofa, Bai Jue turned his back to the blue moonlight slanting in from the window, slowly adjusted his breathing, and his brain began to calm down.

I am not dreaming now.

The current situation is very strange.

Whether it is the call from my mother, the subsequent text messages, or the unnatural death of the man who I am sure I have seen but disappeared out of thin air, all of these reveal the word weird.

Staring in the darkness, Bai Jue felt a little swelling and pain on the side of his head.

He suddenly felt confused about who I am and where I am.

"It's 2:30 in the morning, and I have to go to school in five hours..."

Glancing at the time displayed on the phone screen, Bai Jue exhaled heavily.

"Why did my mother suddenly call and say 'Don't look at the moon', and then suddenly said 'The moon is so beautiful, look at the moon'? I don't understand."

Bai Jue is very confused now, very confused.

Confused, he wants to go to the window to look at the moon.

However, this impulse, like standing on the top of a tall building and wanting to jump down, was very weak, and was cut off by Bai Jue in less than a moment.

"Ding ding——"

Just sitting on the sofa and letting his mind wander, there was a knock on the door.

Bai Jue's face froze.

There were not many residents in this building. As far as he knew, the opposite door and the upper and lower floors were now uninhabited.

Then... who would knock on the door in the middle of the night?

Thinking about it carefully, a sense of horror immediately spread all over Bai Jue's body, and a tingling feeling roamed through his limbs. He held his breath and concentrated, just sitting on the sofa and looking at the door.

Bai Jue was not going to open the door.

But,

Life is often full of surprises and thrills.

After a few seconds, the knock on the door stopped, and someone spoke outside:

"Bai Jue, come out and take a look, the moon is beautiful tonight..."

It was the voice of the landlady.

Bai Jue even stopped breathing temporarily, not daring to make the slightest movement.

"Come out...Come out..."

"The moon...is very beautiful..."

As she spoke, the landlady suddenly laughed, and after a few seconds, the laughter turned into crying.

The weirdness reappeared, bringing the already terrifying atmosphere to another more terrifying peak.

Bai Jue opened his eyes wide and his mouth opened slightly uncontrollably.

The nerves entangled by the horror were like a string about to break. With the cry of the landlady outside the door, they trembled slightly and almost broke.

"Come out...Come out..."

The landlady was crying, but she suddenly fell silent after crying.

After a few seconds, there was no movement.

Just when Bai Jue thought that the landlady gave up because she didn't get a response.

"Hua La——"

It was the metal sound of many iron products colliding with each other.

"Ka——"

After the metal sound, it was the sound of the key inserted into the keyhole.

At that moment, Bai Jue was stunned.

Then, he watched the door being pushed open, and watched the landlady, who was shrouded in moonlight and had a weird smile, walk in from outside.

"Look... Come out and take a look..."

Bai Jue's heart was pounding, and he was terrified.

But, he seemed to be unable to leave the sofa.

It was as if he was being held down by a big hand and couldn't move.

His eyes trembled with endless fear.

Bai Jue couldn't move, he could only watch the landlady with a weird smile, step by step, approaching the sofa.

"The moon... is so beautiful..."

The landlady leaned forward, half of her body gently pressed on Bai Jue, whispered softly in his ear, and exhaled warm breath.

His body began to heat up, but at the same time, a cold current invaded.

Smelling the smell of rotting corpse on the landlady, Bai Jue's expression gradually became obsessed, and finally, turned into sluggishness.

"Look... Look out the window..."

The landlady's voice echoed in his ears. Bai Jue stood up with a dull look in his eyes, like a walking corpse, slowly, step by step, to the window.

He raised his head,

He looked at the sky.

It was a round blue moon, hanging high in the night sky, casting the same blue moonlight.

Standing in front of the window, staring at the blue moon, the moonlight fell on Bai Jue, on his pale and dull face.

The next second, Bai Jue broke apart.

Just like the man he had seen before, starting from the head, the whole person was like a collapsed statue, with blood and flesh scattered all over the ground.

Consciousness, fell into the darkest abyss.

He,

died.
