The police officers who responded to the call would never forget that day for the rest of their lives.
Upon receiving the emergency call, they rushed to the scene. As soon as they entered, a strong stench of blood hit them.
A man lay sprawled on the floor, his head detached and lying some distance away, his eyes wide open, staring at them with a look of unwillingness to die.
Blood had almost soaked the entire living room, and the brutal scene made some of the rookie officers turn pale.
What chilled them even more was that on a sofa not far away sat a little girl of about six or seven years old.
The girl’s face was fair and delicate, wearing a red dress like a Barbie doll. She hugged a doll and quietly watched TV on the sofa.
The man’s corpse was only a few meters away from her, yet she still smiled sweetly at them and raised her hand saying, “Uncle Police, I was the one who reported it!”
The group of police officers almost froze on the spot, hardly daring to move. They nearly thought they had seen a ghost.
Could it be... that the man was killed by this little girl?
After psychological counseling confirmed she had not been frightened, Yu Li was sent back to the orphanage.
The police could hardly interrogate a child, but they could not find the true cause of the man’s death. In the end, they had to close the case as a suicide publicly.
However, the caregivers at the orphanage had already become wary of Yu Li. They all suspected that Yu Li was the culprit.
Because this little girl was not a normal person.
Previously, a little boy wanted to get Yu Li’s attention because he thought she was pretty.
At that age, boys who want to attract attention always believe bullying the other person will work.
So he began targeting Yu Li, stealing her food and toys, even pulling her hair.
Later, perhaps finding enjoyment in this, they went further. On rainy days, they pushed Yu Li into muddy puddles and then laughed at how dirty she was. Some even tried to lift Yu Li’s skirt to embarrass her.
Other kids watched nearby, supporting the boy’s actions.
At that moment, someone suddenly reached out to Yu Li, trying to pull her up. But as soon as they grabbed her, they sharply let go and pushed her.
Seeing Yu Li fall back, they burst into loud laughter.
“She actually believed it.”
Then they snatched the doll from Yu Li’s hands and swaggered away.
Yu Li sat on the ground without crying, without anger, and without asking why.
She just calmly watched them. Then suddenly, she smiled softly, the same expression as when that man had leaned in, quietly murmuring,
“Don’t let a single one go.”
That very night, all those boys died.
And their deaths were eerily similar to the man’s.
When the police arrived, they still could not find any clues.
The only strange thing was the doll that had been tossed into the trash, shredded into pieces.
From then on, Yu Li became the only anomaly in the orphanage.
The caregivers didn’t dare approach her, and other kids rejected her for various reasons. Her previous friends stopped talking to her.
Yu Li’s daily life was confined to a small room. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to go out; she simply could only move within that space.
She smiled at everyone, but there was never any joy in her eyes.
Beneath her seemingly gentle appearance was extreme coldness and indifference.
This phase lasted ten years.
From seven to seventeen years old.
And it was this year that a huge turning point occurred.
The night was as dark as ink, all was silent. Yu Li sat on her bed, hugging a book, tilting her head to look out the window with calm eyes.
The next moment, she suddenly stretched out her hand and released black mist reaching out the window.
[Beep—Police Alert! Accident occurred!! Forced interception by otherworldly entity! No escape possible]
[Automatic contract activation—program started.]
[Beep—Contract successful.]
[Hello player, I am the Horror Film System. Congratulations on being selected as a player. As long as you complete the film scene performances as required, you will earn corresponding points. With enough points, we can fulfill all your requests.]
[Next, we will verify your identity information. Your name is... Error! No record found! Error!]
[Beep—Recalculating, your name is...]
Yu Li softly said, “My name is Limu.”
[Your name is Limu, age: 17, gender: female. We will now assign your skills. Please confirm your skills...]
“You have already given them to me.”
Yu Li interrupted slowly, lifting her head. Under the pitch-black sky, a bright moon cast pure white light, and faint stars flickered with tiny glimmers.
This was the only view from the window.
The thing I accidentally grabbed sounds interesting. It’s been a long time since I played a game.
“My skill is called Black Moon.”
[Skill confirmation successful—Black Moon.]
[Next, you will enter the newbie dungeon. We look forward to your performance, player Limu.]
The next second, the book fell with a “plop” to the floor.
The next day, the news of Yu Li’s disappearance spread instantly.
Until half a month later, she suddenly returned.
But the feeling she gave off was completely different from before.
The smile on the girl’s face increased, but the emotions in her eyes became even more unfathomable, and at the same time... more dangerous.
Though she always greeted people with a smile and spoke gently, she gave others chills.
Yu Li no longer remembered leaving. Instead, she said the orphanage people were mistaken.
Later, someone arranged a psychiatric evaluation for Yu Li, and the result declared she had mental problems.
The orphanage couldn’t control her, and no family wanted to adopt her. So Yu Li was transferred from one place to another—a psychiatric hospital.
Yu Li had no objections and still agreed with a smile.
Thus, Yu Li settled down here completely.
From a normal patient, to a special patient, and finally to a dangerous level, Yu Li upgraded step by step.
Ironically, compared to the orphanage, this felt more like “her” home.
And one day, a new patient arrived at the psychiatric hospital.
A handsome but taciturn... dangerous patient.
The same level as her.
What was his name again...
Upon first meeting, Yu Li was drawn to the man’s face. Her inherent dark sense of humor stirred again.
But to gain something, Yu Li knew she had to be patient.
She had never really thought about being with Bo Jingmo forever. She just wanted to play.
Once bored, she would discard him.
Just like every foster family adopted her, and once bored, returned her.
Until later, the man lowered his eyes, placed her hand on his heart, and softly said:
“Only like me, okay? I can give you my heart.”
“If you fall for someone else, I will kill them.”
His heart throbbed violently under her hand, demonstrating the vividness of life. If Yu Li wanted, she could easily end this man’s life.
Her hidden possessiveness was continuously satisfied. She slowly laughed out loud, her hand moving upward to stroke the man’s face, fingertips gently caressing.
In the man’s tense, dark eyes, she lifted her head and kissed his lips, softly whispering,
“Bo Jingmo, you’re mine now.”
Throughout her life, Yu Li had drifted between foster families, never feeling what belonging or ownership meant. Those toys, even those parents, were never hers.
But now, she had something that belonged solely to her.
