Weird Stories: Gothic Lolita Begins

"The experienced security guard spent several days but still failed to find any traces of the possible peeping Tom, and the male college student always insisted on his statement."

"Later, the security guard found that even if the male college student was under surveillance without blind spots and on a large playground, as long as there was no one else around, he would clearly feel as if someone was watching him closely."

"So, the case was transferred to Team 7."

Lucas listened quietly and took over the conversation at the right time: "Obviously, Team 7 has no clue either."

"It's not that we have no clue at all..." Tiramisu unconsciously stretched out his fingers to curl the stray hair on his temples, "Those S-level bosses who live in Ruby City They all took action, and even the S-class mobile team that happened to pass by was alarmed, but no trace was found... This actually meets the criteria for judging a strange story, although the corresponding one could not be found in the existing files. "

"A strange story..." Lucas thought for a while and said, "I can go and take a look, but I may not be able to deal with it."

Hearing this, Tiramisu was immediately overjoyed: "That's great! The commissioning process will be completed soon..."

"No hurry." Lucas interrupted, "Just go and take a look first, it won't be too late to complete the procedures if it really comes in handy."

"Ah, okay, I mean, no problem!"

...

According to the general process of encountering strange stories, the male college student has been transferred by Team 7 to a small independent two-story villa in a remote suburb for temporary residence.

When Lucas drove to the scene, according to his request, the members of Team 7 who were secretly guarding around did not show up, but quietly opened the barrier to let them pass.

After parking the car far away, Lucas put on a crude invisibility effect - Team 7 has confirmed that as long as the male college student does not know that there are people around, the "voyeurism" will exist - and walked to the living room on the first floor of the small villa with wide doors and windows.

This villa seems to have been renovated many times in a short period of time. The paint and furniture are almost brand new, and they look quite...cheap.

It is not difficult to guess that this seemingly good suburban villa is actually a consumable with a short lifespan.

Of course, this is not the point.

The point is... the strange man who was lying on the door frame and looking inside.

The man has an ordinary appearance, an ordinary figure, and ordinary clothes. He has the characteristics of a passerby who is forgotten at a glance.

Lucas looked at the man in silence, hesitated for a moment, walked up quietly, slapped the man on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "What are you doing?"

The man was frightened and apologized repeatedly in panic: "Sorry, sorry! I just want to make friends with that person... What the hell?!"

Looking back and seeing the "person" behind him who patted his shoulder, the man was stunned.

Lucas narrowed his eyes slightly under the hood and prepared for defense secretly.

The next moment, the man suddenly ducked and avoided Lucas's thick-gloved hand, and then... ran away from the villa.

While running, the man screamed: "There is a monster - help me -"

Lucas, who had already made full preparations for defense, was stunned for a moment, and came to his senses and hurriedly chased after him, not caring about the panic of the male college student behind him.

...

On the other side, the members of Team 7 who were monitoring the situation around the small villa were busy in their earphones.

"What's up with that man who suddenly appeared?!"

"Don't worry about it, just chase him first!"

"Report! That man is weird, my pursuit speed is limited, no matter what means I change, the speed can't be increased!"

"Then follow him, don't let 'it' disappear from sight! Notify the rear, dispatch people to encircle him!"

...

The weird but "normal" pursuit lasted for several hours.

During this period, Team 7 had time to evacuate possible irrelevant people along the way, but they were unable to successfully complete the encirclement, as if some inexplicable chaotic rules were sparing no effort to prevent "that man" from being captured.

Fortunately, when Team 7 frequently made some inexplicable mistakes and was forced to "lose the chase", Lucas always stayed behind "that man" not far away.

But he could only do this much. Although the weird rules that successfully prevented Team 7 from approaching were discounted on him, they were not completely without influence.

Seeing that the sun was setting, Lucas no longer hesitated and said to the headset sent by the seventh team: "Next, I will try to attack."

"This is too dangerous... Well, the rules of this strange story seem to have limited impact on you, I wish you good luck." The captain of the field team in charge of this operation said in the headset.

Turning off the microphone, Lucas stared at the back of "that man" and pointed his right hand.With his arms swung forward, the black, shell-like, twisted limbs rapidly grew out of the cloak, and the sharp, ferocious ends like blades stabbed straight at the back of the "man".

The "man" seemed to have eyes on his back, howling and rolling in a panic, but he managed to dodge successfully, and the screaming lines that were constantly playing in his mouth changed accordingly:

"Help me - the monster is killing people -"

...

Forced to chase like a marathon, and failing in his first attempt, Lucas was in a bad mood to begin with. When he heard the noisy shouting of "that man" who changed his lines, his anger could not be stopped.

- You are even more of a pure monster!

At this point, Lucas has already speculated on some of the properties of the ghost story in front of him.

Cannot be seen, heard, or sensed, but it is ineffective for him as a kind of ghost story, and he will be sensed by others smoothly because of his "anchoring".

In short, if he loses the chase, he is probably really lost. ——Unless that strange story will not change its "target" easily, and still stubbornly pester that male college student.

The bad mood did not affect Lucas's movements. The strange limbs waving in the air have unknowingly increased to eight, but he still couldn't even touch the corner of "that man's" clothes.

As the anger value continued to rise steadily, the strange eyes with black bottom and red pupils "accidentally" exposed under Lucas' cloak also increased in succession, accompanied by increasingly thick turbid black smoke.

The scene looked like a poor, unlucky ordinary person, being chased and killed by a hideous and terrifying inhuman monster in an extremely embarrassing way.

...

Not far behind Lucas, the internal channel of the 7th team of field teams, who had been "lost" n times and barely kept up with Lucas' figure.

"Is this scene... getting more and more weird?" Someone muttered.

"... Anyway, let's notify the rear first." The weak voice of the team leader sounded, "The situation is indeed not right."

"Is that... really a human?" Someone asked in a low voice.

"Newcomer, you shouldn't ask this question." Someone warned, "Since the higher-ups have asserted that the employees of 'rumored to have a firm' are 'reliable people', then they are."

"... Sorry, I'm not used to it yet..." The man apologized sincerely.

"You have to get used to it as soon as possible. In this position, sometimes life and death are separated by a question that comes out of your mouth."

"... I will."
