My Arknights Life Diary

Chapter 181 Midnight Terror

As the movie played and the plot slowly progressed, Xiao Ke and Gui Gui slowly moved closer to each other for some reason.

Outside, the rain outside the house was getting heavier and heavier, and there were bursts of thunder coming from the sky.

The environment and atmosphere are rendered very well.

"Hey, hey... why don't we change the channel? This one feels weird, weird... It's not broadcast like this during the day..."

Xiao Ke, who was already trembling a little at this time, made a suggestion to Guigui in a trembling voice.

"I, I, I also think this suggestion is quite good... Change the channel... Hey? Where's the remote control?"

Turtle, who was about to change the channel, suddenly found that the remote control had disappeared from his hand.

Maybe she had put it somewhere before, but now she had forgotten about it. At this moment, the only light source in the room was the TV screen.

The light from the TV was not enough for her to find the remote control which was originally black.

"Then, then, what should we do?"

Xiao Ke spoke in a panic.

"Power! Oh, right, power! Let's go unplug it! Then we can go back to sleep, ok!"

"Yeah! I'll go pull it out now!"

Xiao Ke got off the sofa and mustered up the courage to walk towards the TV.

The images being shown on the TV at this moment have already come into her eyes.

At this moment, he was like the protagonist on TV, moving forward cautiously accompanied by the uneasy BGM.

At this moment, she didn't know that the most familiar scene in horror movies was about to be staged.

That is, open the door and kill.

Perhaps it was due to some of the filming techniques, although Xiao Ke, who was originally heading towards the power source, was still moving forward, his eyes were now fixed on the TV.

As the music reaches a certain point, the protagonist then arrives at the door.

Next is the classic door-opening kill.

The protagonist screamed.

If Tu Fang was here, he would most likely not have the slightest interest in such a plot, let alone fear.

After all, he has tasted enough things like this.

But for Guigui and Xiaoke, two silly kids who have never seen the world.

This level of horror movie is enough to scare them.

Then the camera switched to the monster's face.

With the special lighting and sound effects, it looks particularly terrifying.

As luck would have it, at this moment, a thunderclap sounded outside, perhaps striking some place such as a switch.

In short, the room was without electricity.

This became the last straw that broke the psychological defenses of Guigui and Xiaoke.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

The first one to panic was Xiao Ke. She turned around and prepared to run.

But there was no light in the room at this time.

This also caused her to accidentally trip over the power cord of the TV. Not only did she drop the power cord of the TV, but she also fell flat on her face.

This made her panic even more intense because of the child's rich imagination.

The thing that had just tripped her had changed from the TV's power cord to a monster's hand.

The situation was similar for Guigui, but unlike Xiaoke, she did not choose to run around in panic.

Instead, it curled itself into a ball, just like a real turtle.

While trembling all over, I was silently saying "Don't eat me, don't eat me"...

At this time, Xiao Ke, who had stood up, was still running around in fear, howling non-stop as he ran in the pitch-black darkness.

I don't know how many things fell down and were broken.

In the end, as luck would have it, he ran straight into the sofa.

This time, her impact directly knocked over the sofa and the turtle that was curled up on it.

Thanks to the child's rich imagination, the turtle thought that the monster was coming to eat him.

I regretted why I didn't bring my backpack with me when I came down.

He began to struggle subconsciously, and kicked Xiaoke's head several times with his bare little feet.

And while kicking continuously, he kept shouting

“Don’t eat me!!!! Aaaaaaaaa go away! Stay away from me, aaaaaaa!”

Fortunately, it is thundering and raining outside, otherwise, who knows how far the screams would have been heard.

"Stop, stop, stop, turtle, it's me!"

On the other side, Xiao Ke, after hearing the familiar voice of Guigui, quickly said, "After all, you know what, this kick from Guigui is quite painful......"

"Hey? Hey! Xiao Ke! Phew... I was scared to death..."

Hearing the familiar voice, the turtle breathed a sigh of relief, relaxed, and stopped kicking his feet.

"Turtle, how about we stop watching TV? Let's go back to bed!"

"Mmmmmmm!"

As soon as Xiao Ke made the suggestion, Guigui nodded.

The two little guys stood up again, holding each other, and groped their way towards the stairs.

"Xiao Ke, you, you seem to be shaking."

"Turtle, stop talking about me. You're shaking too! Ah! Is there something over there?"

"You, you must have seen it wrong. Tu Fangfang said that movies are all fake...ah!"

As thunder roared outside the house, the two little guys subconsciously hugged each other in fear.

"Turtle, are you scared?"

"Nonsense, I'm not scared at all, these are all fake!

I saw you hugged me so tightly just now, Xiaoke, are you scared now?"

The two little guys just moved towards the stairs while bickering and looking around.

For some reason, they always felt that something was watching them in the dark.

Any slight disturbance would make them startled.

They moved forward little by little, and after a while, they arrived near the stairs.

Gululu~

"what!"

As a strange sound came, the turtle began to look around vigilantly.

"Uh... my stomach is growling..."

Looking at the vigilant turtle, Xiao Ke spoke a little embarrassedly.

"Um, okay, then should we go to the kitchen and get something to eat before we go upstairs?"

After Xiao Ke said this, Guigui felt that he seemed to be a little hungry too, so he opened his mouth to make a suggestion.

"I think it's okay."

As the two reached a consensus, they changed direction midway and headed towards the kitchen.

Soon, the two of them stopped in front of the closed kitchen door.

For some reason, neither of them pushed the door.

"Xiao Ke, come here."

"Turtle, come on."

Perhaps it was because they had just seen a door-opening murder in a movie, at least now the two of them no longer dared to push open a closed door in the dark.

After the two pushed each other for a while, Xiao Ke spoke.

"Forget it, I'll do it!"

In the end, because he was a little hungry, Xiao Ke's courage temporarily overcame his fear.

She came to the door, put her hands on it, and took a deep breath.

Then.........

Well, she didn't push the door.

She always felt that there might be something behind the door, so she was hesitant to take action.

At this time, my rich imagination came into play again. After stopping for a while, I couldn't help but wonder what might be behind the door?

The more frightened she became, the less she dared to push the door.

And my heart began to pound uncontrollably.

As time passed, the turtle behind her couldn't wait to speak and urged her.

"Xiao Ke, can you open it?"

"I, I, will open it now!"

Xiao Ke opened his mouth with a trembling voice, then swallowed his saliva, made up his mind, and exerted force with his hands!

Push the door open a little...

Then, Xiao Ke's eyes scanned the kitchen through the crack.

Suddenly, there was a sudden flash of light, followed by a loud noise.

Xiao Ke's eyes saw a tall and big shadow.

This made her heart tighten.

The turtle behind her also noticed this.

So I went forward curiously to see what was going on.

"Hey, hey, hey, turtle, don't squeeze me, there seems to be something there... Ouch!"

As Guigui moved closer curiously, Xiao Ke lost her balance and fell down, and the Guigui who was lying on her back and moving closer to her naturally fell down as well.

With this fall, she pushed the door completely open, and half of their bodies fell into the kitchen.

At this moment, Xiao Ke's inner fear had accumulated to an extreme.

Just waiting for a fuse to detonate it completely.

As she subconsciously looked up, the fuse appeared.

Following a burst of thunder, a strong flash of light shone into the entire house through the window.

The huge flash of light also brought into the sight of Guigui and Xiaoke the huge, twisted, indescribable figure next to the refrigerator.

Become extremely terrifying.

This time.

It directly broke through the psychological defenses of the two children, Guigui and Xiaoke.

The accumulated fear suddenly exploded.

At this moment, Xiao Ke didn't care about what to eat. He crawled up and ran upstairs.

And he kept shouting while running.

“Tu Fang! Help! Aa ...

“Ahhhhhhh! Don’t eat me!!! Tu Fang, save me, ahhhhhhhh!!!”

Turtle, who had reacted, screamed in fear like Xiaoke.

Xiao Ke subconsciously ran towards the third floor, because in her subconscious, Tu Fang was still there.

As for the turtle?

She held Xiaoke's tail tightly, screaming, and followed Xiaoke upstairs.

..........

"Hmm? Turtle and Xiaoke. (Emotionless)"

The only one who could comfort Guigui and Xiaoke at this time was Tu Fang, the person they trusted the most.

But at this moment, he was thousands of miles away and just felt something, and then nothing else.

After thinking about it again, I felt that it might be my illusion.

Tu Fang, who had suddenly sat up from the bed, lay down and continued to sleep.

.............

Xiao Ke ran wildly in fear with the turtle that was holding her tail, because she felt that the monster had grabbed her tail.

The more she thought about it, the more scared she became, and the faster she wanted to run.

This is very hard for the turtle behind her. Poor turtle, because of the increasing speed and the extremely dark environment.

This caused her to bump into her feet several times at the corners of the stairs, and the pain caused by these bumps directly resulted in Guigui becoming even more frightened.

Therefore, she couldn't help but scream again.

And her scream inspired Xiao Ke again.

It made her fear even worse.

The speed has increased again.

A kind of vicious circle has been formed.

However, this cycle ended quickly as Xiao Ke kicked open the door of Tu Fang's room.

Then he took off with Turtle, jumped onto the bed, wrapped himself in a quilt, and wrapped Turtle at the same time.

At this time, the two of them used a quilt on Tu Fang's bed to form a barrier that they thought was isolating them from the outside world.

This made them feel a little more at ease.

This was especially true for Xiao Ke, because she smelled a familiar scent here, the scent of Tu Fang.

This also made her feel more at ease compared to Turtle.

Xiao Ke was originally afraid that something had just entered the quilt with him, but after confirming that it was a turtle, he felt relieved.

At this moment, the two people who had regained the long-lost sense of security could not help but recall the black shadow just now.

"Turtle, did you see that?"

"Look, I saw it. So is what's shown in the movie real?"

"I do not know."

"Why isn't Tu Fang at home? I'm scared......"

"Ah, but we should be safe here, right?"

"Maybe."

That night, neither of them stepped out again. No! It should be said that no part of their body was exposed from under the quilt, even a little bit.

And just like that, the two of them spent the night in Tu Fang's bed.

As for what that mysterious, huge, twisted, indescribable monster is?

.............

Oh, let me see, what's left in the fridge?

The cat, now named Garfield, used his front paws to pry open the refrigerator door. He was ready to have a midnight snack.

As we all know, cats have very good eyesight, so darkness alone cannot make them unable to see clearly.

I saw it holding a large plate with one of its front paws, and using the other front paw to take delicious food from the refrigerator.

After the plate is filled with these delicious sauces, it is then placed in a stacking manner, using all sorts of incomprehensible balancing methods.

The food was stacked neatly layer by layer to form a strange-shaped tower. The tower was uneven in size and kept shaking, but it just wouldn't fall over.

Tsk tsk, I did a pretty good job.

The cat, now named Garfield, looked at the tower in his hand and spoke with satisfaction.

At this moment, for some reason, the kitchen door suddenly opened.

Then two dark shadows fell in.

Just after they fell in, a thunderclap sounded outside the window.

All this caused the tower of food in the hands of the cat, now called Garfield, to start shaking more violently.

It was a little panicked, shaking its body to find its balance again.

All of this was transmitted to the eyes of the two black shadows that fell in, and it turned into a huge and terrifying black shadow, baring its fangs and claws towards them.

Accompanied by the scream and the speechless look in Garfield's eyes as he finally regained his balance.

The two dark shadows then ran away, tumbling and crawling.

Tsk, humans.

As the two dark shadows ran away, Garfield said this with contempt in his heart.

Then he turned around and continued to add bricks and tiles to his food tower.

.............

After a while, Garfield stopped what he was doing.

This is certainly not because it is satisfied, but because the food in the refrigerator that it thinks is delicious and edible has been cleared out by it.

He carried the tower of delicious food and walked towards another room.

That room was exactly where Guigui and Xiaoke had watched TV before, and Garfield naturally went there to eat delicious food while watching TV.

Garfield placed his tower of gourmet food on the ground, then kicked the fallen sofa back into place.

He picked up the remote control that had fallen on the ground and pressed the power button.

Then the TV screen lit up.

What should I watch? Forget it, let’s choose while eating!

This cat named Garfield, lying on the sofa, thought
