Chapter 56 Alien Beast (2)

Time passed, and soon half a month passed.

One night, while I was working at my desk, I suddenly felt discomfort in my back. Before I could react, the huge pain quickly overwhelmed me.Why is this damn back hurting again, and it seems that the time has come earlier.I endured the pain and opened the drawer, found out the remaining pieces of plaster, took one piece off and pasted it on my back.

However, after half an hour, the pain not only did not ease, but became more severe.

"Damn it!" I cursed, took out the traditional Chinese medicine I bought from the hospital, decocted it and drank some, and lay down on the bed.

The next morning, the pain showed no sign of relief, and I had to take the day off.The medicine in the hospital didn't work, so it's not an option to go on like this. After thinking about it, I think I have to go to that weird old man.I hope he doesn't catch me stealing his medicine.Half an hour later, I had arrived at the community where the old man was, but there was no response after knocking on the door, and the old man was not at home.

I'm out of ideas, what should I do next?
Looking around, I suddenly found that one of the windows of the house seemed to be a little raised. I stepped forward and pulled it open.

This is a bedroom, the quilts are scattered on the bed, the computer on the desk is turned on, and there is a box of instant noodles next to it.The bedroom door was not closed, and one could see into the living room all the way.

I sighed, closed the window and prepared to leave. For some reason, the image of that little monster suddenly appeared in my mind.

The evil thought flashed by.

It was quiet all around, not a single person was there.

I hesitated for a moment, finally gritted my teeth, opened the window carefully, stepped in, then turned around and quickly closed it.My heart seemed to jump out, I didn't care about thinking, and rushed directly to the living room.In the same position, the little thing was lying obediently in the cage, as if he had already fallen asleep.I rushed up and grabbed the cage, and rushed to the window quickly.

Turning out the window, I was so nervous that my palms were sweating.Before he could catch his breath, two figures suddenly walked towards him in the distance.

When I saw who was coming, I was shocked.One of those two people was the old man who saw the doctor, but he hadn't seen him for half a month. He seemed to be even older. He was walking with a cane, and he was already trembling. He was gesturing to the person next to him.

While they were not paying attention, I carefully closed the window, dodged behind a big tree, and quickly fled in another direction.

On the way back, I took off my coat to cover the cage. The appearance of this little thing is really eye-catching.

When I got home, I sneaked into the bedroom and carefully took off my coat.

The little guy has woken up, stretched himself, and looked at the new environment curiously.I rubbed my hands, my heart full of excitement.It's always a pity that I didn't observe it carefully at the old man's house last time. This time I moved closer to the cage and looked at it carefully.The little guy's eyes turned to me, and he seemed a little unexpectedly excited. He took a step forward and stared at me motionlessly.Looking at each other, my consciousness suddenly became trance, and my head began to dizzy.

I don't know if it was because I was too nervous just now.

I don’t know how long it took, when the voice of my mother calling me to eat sounded, I was startled suddenly, as if waking up from a deep sleep.

I frantically tried to hide the cage, but before I could move, the door opened and my mother walked in.

The strange appearance of the little one may have frightened the mother so much that she cried out in horror.Hearing the sound, my father didn't know what happened, so he rushed in with a stick.

The mother's voice was already trembling, and she pointed to the cage and asked, "This... what is this... the ghost?"

Seeing the little guy in the cage, the father was also full of surprise.Instead of being afraid, the little guy stood up abruptly, took two steps forward, and looked directly at my parents.I didn't know how to explain it, and in my panic, I suddenly felt a little strange.The eyes of the parents are not the same as usual, and they seem a little dull.

Am I too nervous?Both sides seemed to be frozen, and there was no movement for a long time.I was inexplicably scared and tentatively pushed my father.Father's eyes were blurred, as if he had just woken up from a big dream.

"Are you okay?" I asked.

My father touched his head and said, "I'm a little dizzy." As soon as he finished speaking, he swayed and almost fell down.

I hurriedly helped him to sit down.Looking back to see his mother, the weird feeling suddenly became stronger.

Mother kept her original posture, motionless, as if she hadn't heard our conversation.

On the contrary, the little guy became more energetic, staring straight at his mother with piercing eyes, and the tentacles on his body began to emit light blue light.

I hurriedly helped my mother to sit down, turned around and pulled a towel to cover the cage.

Parents soon recovered.They asked about the little thing just now, and I found an excuse to prevaricate it, only saying that it was a mutated little animal, and it was a gift from a colleague.My father wanted to continue asking, but I said I was hungry, let's eat first.

During the meal, my father talked about various news again, which was his old habit.He first talked about some people who were found to be aging quickly in the city recently, and then began to curse the current living environment.

I listened to it one after another, and my mind was full of that weird little thing: the weird appearance, the inexplicable dizziness, and the faint blue light that appeared and disappeared at that time, what is this thing?
After dinner, the parents' attention has shifted to the TV series.I went back to the bedroom, hesitated for a moment, carefully lifted the corner of the towel, and found that the little thing was lying obediently in the cage, and seemed to have fallen asleep.

I don't know what it likes to eat, but I just throw some bread and the like into the cage every day, and quickly cover it again.But according to my sneak observation, it doesn't seem to like to eat these things, it doesn't even look at them, and lies listlessly in the cage all day long.

One afternoon, when I returned home, I found the cage placed on the coffee table in the living room, the towel was removed, the little thing curled up with its eyes closed, its whole body shrouded in light blue light, and my father was lying on the sofa beside him.

I hurried forward to help my father up and blamed him for not sleeping here.

Father smiled: "It's like this when people are old. I wanted to feed this little thing just now, but I fell asleep unexpectedly."

While complaining, I suddenly felt something was wrong.I looked at my father's face carefully, and my heart trembled.Father seemed to... suddenly aged a lot.

Ten minutes later, I was already standing in front of the old man's door with the cage in hand.This thing is full of weirdness, far from being as simple as I thought.The door was ajar, and there was no sound inside, so I pushed it open and walked in.There was a strange, unpleasant stench in the room.

I called out, "Is anyone there?"

There was no response, and my own voice echoed through the room.

The old man was not at home, and I wondered if I should wait for him to come back.
