After Being Lured into a Nest by a Vine Demon

I took a wrong turn while climbing Yanshan at night and nearly got lost in an undeveloped area. Luckily, I ran into a local along the way.

The young man was innocent and sincere. I thought I was in luck, but who could have guessed... I had walked straight into a trap.

As I was saying goodbye, countless vines spread from his cuffs and collar, wrapping around me... covering my ears and nose so I couldn't hear a single sound from the outside world. All I could hear was his sickly, feverishly excited whisper: "Stay... stay here with me..."

The wicked spirit no longer bothered pretending to be an innocent human boy. He let himself twist into a monster in human eyes.

His true form coiled around me, feverishly claiming me without a care for anything else...
