Lu Chen, a sophomore boy in high school, picked up a group of gray-purple tentacles at the entrance of a convenience store. It was injured and huddled in the gap between the steps, with clear mucus oozing from the tips of its thinnest arms and toes.
He fed half a ham sausage.
After the tentacle ball was eaten, it turned into a twelve or thirteen year old girl in front of him. Black hair, dark blue dress, bare feet. She tilted her head to look at him and said two words: "It smells so good."
Her name was Bristan and she asked him to call her Boo. She said she wanted to eat him, and her tone sounded like she was talking about the weather. She said the little virgin's flesh was the most delicious. Lu Chen ran away, ran for more than ten meters and then walked back - she was still standing there, looking down at the bruised back of her hand.
He took Xiaobu home.
From then on, Lu Chen's fish tank became her bed, and his old T-shirt became her pajamas. She would lie down at his desk and watch him do his homework, would eat his fears as snacks, and would collapse into cat cakes after eating. She doesn't understand human social distance and always talks about "Chen Chen is so hot" and "Chen Chen is delicious" with an innocent tone and innocent eyes.
She became more and more a part of his life.
Until one day, a pale face appeared outside the window. Dark red pupils stared at the lights in the room and grinned.
"Xiao Bu, do you still remember our smell?"
The person who came was called Hela. Born from the same fragment as her. One chooses to be a human, the other chooses to be a monster. Hela wants to take her back.
Lu Chen stood in front of Xiaobu.
Xiaobu cried for the first time that night. She said she was afraid that she was not human, that she was just a monster imitating humans. Lu Chen put her head on his shoulders and said you are Bristan, that's enough
