Becoming the Crush of Monsters

The apartment building grows quieter with each passing day. Chu Lang wonders if fewer and fewer people are living there, until she learns that one of them was a murderer who killed several neighbors and dismembered them in his apartment. The water meter was almost ready to burst.

When she learns the truth, she figures she can accept it. At least the guy didn't kill her, which is nice. The landlord even cuts her rent in half.

The city grows emptier day after day, but the strange occurrences keep piling up: the thin, elongated figures under the streetlights, the sound of tapping on her window in the middle of the night, the unknown creature hiding in her shadow...

Only when the authorities forcibly evacuate her from the fallen city does Chu Lang finally realize what is going on.

Oh, so the supernatural has arrived. She thought she was just going crazy from work.

I love you, so I want to eat you.
