Three young people in the car quickly recognized the “thing” that had landed on their hood – it was a rather large, beautifully colored canary.

Moreover, the canary was tilting its head, looking at them through the windshield.

“Damn it, stupid bird, scram!” The young man in the driver’s seat rolled down the window, slapped his hand on the car door a few times, trying to scare off the canary on the hood by making noise.

But the canary was not affected at all, it continued to tilt its head and watch them.

A young man in the back seat got out of the car and shouted at the girl not far in front of the car: “You come here! Do you know you smashed our car window? What are you standing there for, come here!”

The young man still seated in the back, holding an unconscious girl with disheveled clothes, frowned and said, “I think something is strange about that girl, and that bird too. Let’s just get out of here, drive a distance away and then discuss…”

“Damn it, you know how much it costs to replace a windshield?” When the young man in the driver’s seat was sure his companions could see the girl, and knew he hadn’t “seen a ghost”, he grumbled, took a half-bottle of mineral water from the car, and threw it at the canary on the hood. However, the canary flew up easily before he threw the bottle, dodged it, landed back down, and looked at him disdainfully.

The young man in the back seat cursed, “Are you stupid? Have you forgotten what’s going on in our car? Hurry up and go, I’ll pay for the windshield replacement!”

“That girl looks pretty, and she seems to be alone, maybe we should…”

The young man in the driver’s seat was halfway through when he suddenly heard his companion outside the car exclaim “Holy shit”, and then shout, “What are those things, did you guys see them?”

“What what things?” The young man in the driver’s seat looked back inexplicably at his terrified companion under the car, followed his gaze to the solitary girl standing in the headlight beam in front of him, and was taken aback.

Despite being five or six meters away, the girl in front of the car, her eyes, seemed like a sky brewing a storm, sucking his consciousness into it.

When he struggled to shift his gaze away, he was startled to find that the surroundings had suddenly changed. Originally, they were by an artificial lake and next to a small grove, but now these scenes were all gone, and thick fog was emerging everywhere.

Even the girl in front, who looked beautiful, but increasingly eerie the longer he watched, was quickly enveloped and entwined in the fog.

Just as the companion under the car sat back in the car and pulled the door shut, a huge figure rushed out of the dense fog in front, bypassed the solitary girl, and pounced on their car.

The figure was at least four meters high, with several thick arms like a spider, and their head was covered with eyes. The figure opened their mouth and roared silently at them. The mouth was almost up against the windshield, and the inside of the mouth was pitch black, as if it led directly to the abyss, never-ending, giving a chill at first glance.

“Damn it!! Shit!! Drive now! Drive!!”

“Oh my God!! Mommy!!

The two people in the back seat let out a shrill scream, obviously they had also seen this horrifying scene, seen that monster.

The young man in the driver’s seat trembled as he reached for the start button, but just as his hand was about to press the button, an image of him and the car being crushed into a pulp by the monster popped up in his mind. His hand shook, and he did not dare to press it.

When he looked up, he noticed that there were already cracks in the windshield. It seemed like the monster was about to charge in and swallow his head.

In his terror and fear, he dared not drive anymore, but instantly flung open the car door and ran backward.

But before he could get very far, he tripped over something and fell to the ground. The surrounding area was filled with fog, he could not see the road, could not see anything else, and he found his heart beating heavily with increasing difficulty in breathing.

A police car drove into the unlit path by the artificial lake.

“This is **035 squad car, we have arrived at the reported site, currently no sightings… wait, there’s something.” The officer in the passenger seat put down his radio, and he and his driving colleague looked towards two conspicuous car lights not far from the artificial lake, and faintly heard screams coming from there.

Both officers were somewhat nervous and quickly drove to the small car with the headlights on. They gave a status update to the command center and then got out of the car with caution.

Then they saw a girl standing in front of the car, her body trembling slightly. They also saw a young man screaming and babbling nonsense not far from the car, and another person was squatting by the lake with his head in his hands, seemingly doing something.

An officer went to check the car. As soon as he saw the unconscious girl in disheveled clothes in the back seat, he knew that the call the command center had received was about this car. What surprised him, however, was that in addition to the girl in the back seat, there was also a young man shivering with his legs pulled up onto the seat, seemingly frightened by something.

The other officer went to check on the girl in front of the car. According to the information passed on to them from the command center, this girl was probably the one who had called the police.

But when he walked to the front of the car, he was blinded by the bright headlights and shouted to his colleague who was checking the car, “Xiao Wang, turn off those headlights first!”

Then he realized something, he turned back to look at the girl beside him who was still slightly trembling. He looked into her wide eyes, waved his hand gently in front of her face, and whispered, “Little sister, we are the police, did you call the police?”

“Yes, I called the police…” The young girl’s voice was somewhat trembling as if she had been seriously frightened.

The officer had a high school-aged sister at home, so when he saw Xiao Pingguo like that, he felt a bit heartbroken and comforted her quietly.

Soon, more police cars and ambulances arrived. The three young men were handcuffed and put into police cars. The unconscious girl was taken to an ambulance.

Xiao Pingguo also sat in the back seat of a police car. Of course, she was treated much better, with a policewoman sitting with her in the back seat and a female doctor who had come with the ambulance came over to examine her.

The woman, who looked to be in her thirties, gently asked Xiao Pingguo about her earlier situation.

“I was taking a walk and came around here, then I heard… the commotion from that car over there, so I quickly dialed 911. But I knew they were doing something bad, so… so I wanted to stop them. I picked up a stone and threw it at them, I don’t know if I hit them or not… and then, you guys arrived…” Xiao Pingguo said softly.
