I quickly closed the shop door and stepped outside to calm myself down.
After lighting a cigarette and taking a few puffs, I suddenly heard a strange sound!
Crack, crack, crack...
It sounded like a beast chewing on bones!
I picked up my phone to check the time.
It was already midnight, twelve o'clock sharp!
I had never seen such an eerie scene before.
Today was the fifteenth, the most ominous day of the month.
In previous years, my grandfather would close the shop several hours early on this day.
He would even seal the shop's front door with lime.
But I had completely forgotten!
It must have been the alcohol that made me hazy and overlook this matter!
I felt in my pocket for my pack of cigarettes.
There was only one left inside.
I lit it and took a deep drag.
The nicotine jolted me awake a bit.
I decided to head home and get some sleep first.
Just as I stepped out of the Flower Shop, I spotted a strange creature.
It had a cat-like face, its body hunched over, with its limbs on the ground.
It seemed to be... searching for something.
The moonlight cast an eerie glow on it!
"Meow!"
It let out a cry.
I was so frightened that my soul nearly left my body, and I quickly shut the door!
In the next moment, I heard a series of violent banging sounds!
Bang!
Bang!
The sound of the door being struck was deafening, as if it were going to be torn apart!
I was in a panic, not knowing what to do.
With my hands clasped together, I pleaded, “Bless me, Ancestor!”
“Bless me, Ancestor Master!”
“Grandpa, please help me!”
My legs turned to jelly, and I collapsed onto the floor.
The banging grew louder, the door creaking ominously under the assault.
I gritted my teeth and fled into the shop.
I held the tablet of my Ancestor tightly in my arms, praying for his protection!
“Grandpa, save me!”
“Grandpa, please help me!”
I was so scared that I was incoherent, clutching the tablet of my Ancestor and weeping uncontrollably.
But I had forgotten one crucial thing—
Today is the fifteenth of May!
Every fifteenth of the month, I must pay respects to my Ancestor!
Who will save me?
As I watched the door about to be smashed in, I felt a surge of panic.
In the next moment, I heard a piercing cat cry!
Meow——!
The sound was heart-wrenching, as if a cat had been run over by a car!
At the same time, the banging on the door stopped.
I was safe for the moment.
I wiped my tears and stood up from the ground.
I recalled that Cat-faced Monster from earlier, and a wave of fear washed over me.
What on earth was that thing?
Why did it come to cause trouble?
I couldn't make sense of it, nor did I want to.
Because I was too tired.
I lay down on the ground and fell asleep.
I don't know how long I slept, but I felt someone pushing me.
When I opened my eyes, it was none other than the Fat Guy!
With a grin, he said, "Mark, you son of a dog!"
"It's not even your birthday today!"
"Where the hell were you last night?"
"I called you and you didn't answer!"
I looked at him in confusion. "Isn't it your birthday?"
The chubby guy paused for a moment. "My birthday?"
"My birthday is on May 7th!"
I was taken aback as well. "May 7th?"
"That's not right!"
"I remember yesterday was your birthday!"
He scratched his head. "Are you drunk or something?"
"Yesterday was my birthday!"
He pushed me lightly. "Alright, stop talking nonsense."
"This is the Lunch Box I brought for you."
"Go ahead and eat."
The chubby guy handed me a Lunch Box, and I opened it to take a look.
Inside were a few small dishes and a bowl of white rice.
I started digging in, thinking to myself that the chubby guy was really a good person.
He watched me gobble it down and laughed, "Slow down."
"No one's going to snatch it from you."
After I was full, the chubby guy left.
