Not My Kind

Chu Ling’s rich young boss showed up at the office to work in person. Just like the rumors said, he was handsome but useless. Chu Ling kept her distance, afraid of getting into trouble. But the useless boss actually got handsy with her. Chu Ling wasn’t one to make a fuss, so she went home and had a good cry. Once she’d finished crying, she came to terms with it. At worst, she’d quit and find another job. That night, she wrote her resignation letter and took a taxi to the office. The office was empty at night, and Chu Ling wanted to leave the letter in the department head’s office. When she reached the doorway, she saw the useless boss from earlier laying the department head’s body on a desk. He leisurely opened up the department head’s abdomen and ate his small intestine like noodles. Chu Ling didn’t say a word. She immediately turned around and went home. She hadn’t handed in her resignation letter, and wondered if the stress had made her hallucinate. The next day, she went to work as usual. The department head really was gone. Chu Ling’s heart pounded like a drum. She forced herself to stay calm and secretly watched the useless boss. But he seemed different from the day before. He didn’t harass her again. Chu Ling finally realized that this wasn’t the boss she had known. She decided to leave the company as soon as possible. But just before the end of the workday, the boss approached with a smile. He leaned toward Chu Ling, a transparent tentacle squeezing her throat cartilage. Then he whispered, “You saw it,” “didn’t you?” She had no way to protect herself, so she chose to believe in it. And it fell in love with its believer. A timid human girl forced to find food for a monster X a cold-blooded monster that feeds on humans Theme: Reach for the light from within the darkness
