After Being Raised by Monsters

Before Lin Shuyu was thirteen years old, he thought he had an ordinary but warm and happy family. Until his thirteenth birthday, he went home early and found that the family portrait on the wall had disappeared - replaced by a mirror. In the mirror, his sister was picking up the red threads all over the floor, using the needle in her hand to carefully sew up the bottomless cracks on her face, like repairing a torn doll while accompanying him in craft work; In the kitchen, the originally clean stove turned into an incense table, and the large copper stove above was burning ingots. There was a sweet smile on the mother's face, her left foot and her father's right foot were tightly intertwined, and her four hands worked together to put the dismembered insect into the earthen pot; The candles on the birthday cake swayed, and Lin Shuyu took a step back in a daze, feeling a sticky, soft touch on the soles of his feet - chirp. With the sound of flesh being squeezed, the sister in the mirror looked over and smiled at him as always. "Brother, are you back?" Lin Shuyu nodded stiffly and raised his feet. ... What he stepped on was half a baby's body. ———————— Something was wrong with his family. Thirteen-year-old Lin Shuyu discovered this, but quickly accepted this fact. It's just that there was a child crying in the shrine at home, and later he found out that it was his younger brother; he woke up from a nightmare at night, and saw his sister holding sesame oil in the bedside mirror and asking if he was thirsty; his parents' menu was full of arthropods; and the dog that was supposed to die of old age and was buried in the yard wagged its tail at him the next day, and had a human face. His family was just a little special, no big deal. Lin Shuyu thought so calmly as he cleared out the neighbors who had strayed into the yard. After graduating from college, he received a special email: [Dear classmate Lin: After long-term observation, we found that you have the talents needed by this studio. Now, we are sending you a sincere invitation to join us and hope you will consider it. ——Linlingling Studio Looking at this inexplicable email, Lin Shuyu typed out a reply by mistake: [Okay, when will the interview be held? "It's now." The porcelain doll that lay on his shoulder at some point looked at him with a smile and answered his question face to face, "Mirror ghost, couple ghost, Yin boy, plus a human-faced dog... My dear, your family composition is really interesting." "So what?" The only ordinary person said calmly, "We are a happy family." Three days later, the client looked at the young man with a ghost baby hanging around his neck, a human-faced dog in his hand, and a black shadow emerging behind him. After being silent for a long time, the client couldn't help but ask: "Master, is this your dark soldier?" "No." Lin Shuyu raised his hand and touched the sunken head of the ghost baby with a friendly smile, "This is my family member." "Our family is very happy, right?" Facing three pairs of cold ghost eyes, the client raised his thumb tremblingly. "Yes, you and your family are really a model family! Happy! Haha, very happy!" ———— After discovering that no one in his family was human, Lin Shuyu discovered another thing: his colleagues were not human either. He accepted this well - it didn't matter, he already had enough ghosts in his life. ... It's just that he seemed to accept it too well. After a certain mission, he looked at the "life form" on the ground that he had unconsciously pinched, then touched the dozens of extra pairs of eyes on his body, and fell into deep thought. It turns out that he is not human either. #If you can't beat it, join it #It turns out that it is not a family that does not enter the same door. ·Chinese folklore horror background, with a dash of blood and gore ·The protagonist's personality is a bit cold, and he is the type who stays calm no matter what he encounters.
