Death Instinct [Apocalypse]

Apocalypse | Two Powerful Leads

[Plot Summary]

Xing Yao is a poor kid, bullied by others and often covered in bruises.

When the apocalypse comes, mysterious black holes appear everywhere. No one who falls into one ever comes back.

Someone throws Xing Yao into a black hole, leaving her to wait for death.

To her surprise, there are already many people inside.

They build, farm, and welcome Xing Yao into their community.

Xing Yao notices a black shadow always lurking by the window, strange footprints appearing in the house, and weird rustling sounds beneath her bed.

People tell her, "That's an anomaly. If you're scared, you can sleep with me tonight."

That very night, Xing Yao moves into that person's room.

The next day, that person is dead, and Xing Yao is covered in injuries, too.

Xing Yao murmurs, "It's coming to kill us..."

[Romance Plot: Its Observation Journal]

Xing Yao is a strange human. I've decided to observe her.

Xing Yao takes my tentacles and wraps them around her own neck, legs, and waist. This is strange. Tentacles are dangerous, and humans should stay away from them.

Xing Yao says tentacles can do many things. I find that strange, but I do as she says.

The tentacles are wet, and Xing Yao says it's her tears.

But shouldn't tears come from the eyes?
