cat's eye: open the door

A rush of cell phone ringing woke up the sleeping Jianzhi, and he picked up the phone in a sleepy state, "Hello?" There was a recording of the telecommunications company's debt payment. Before it was finished, Jianzhi hung up the phone impatiently. Just look at the time.

"14:20", the scorching sun shone in from the west-facing window, making Jianzhi sweaty. In the year after graduation from university, except for two classes a week and part-time work in the evening, the rest of the time was either playing video games or sleeping. I slept until 2:00 p.m. today and got up early.

I can't sleep anyway, so let's order something to eat. After Jianzhi ordered a chicken leg lunch, he turned on his computer, clicked on YouTube, and watched the news live. Just after reading two news articles, "Ding dong, ding dong", the doorbell rang.

"Wow! The efficiency of the delivery service is also very good now. The meal was delivered in less than 10 minutes, and it even helped me go upstairs." Because of the rent price, the room that Jianzhi rented was located next to a night market street in Taipei. The 5th floor of an old renovated residence. Because of its multi-span design, it is very twisty when walking, and the corridors are still full of miscellaneous items from every resident. Therefore, Jianzhi was surprised by the service that the deliveryman personally delivered the food to the door.

"Okay, here we come." He grabbed a pair of shorts and put them on, and walked to the door. Just as his hand touched the doorknob, he shrank back, "Let's make sure who it is." His face moved closer Looking at the cat's eye on the door, he saw that the person outside the door was also looking closely at the cat's eye, which shocked Jianzhi.

"You're sick! Why are you so close? Scare people to death!" Jianzhi eagerly opened the door, trying to teach the delivery man a lesson, but found that there was no one outside the door.

He glanced left and right, and there was no one in the hallway. "Fuck, who is playing a prank? It should have slipped out while I was opening the door." Jianzhi's house is a side room with stairs next to it, and the prankster may flee downstairs.

After closing the door, I was about to go back to continue watching the news when I suddenly had a plan: "If it was me playing a prank, I would definitely ring the doorbell after the owner closed the door. Well, I'll peek through the cat's eye. As soon as you get close to me, rush out to catch people." So, he leaned closer to the cat's eyes to see——

"Ah..." He quickly covered his mouth and abruptly pulled back the cry, because he saw that the cat's eyes were still covered by the man's eyes. "Fuck! I was frightened twice. This man is not easy. He ran back so quickly, but fortunately he didn't scream. This time, I must catch him before he rings the bell and runs away."

Jianzhi stared at the cat's eye. He held the doorknob with his right hand, and counted in his heart: "1, 2...", the tighter he held the right hand... " 3 ", he strongly pressed the doorknob and pulled inward, taking advantage of the Probe and take a look - hell, is there still no one?

Jianzhi didn't have time to think about it, so he didn't care about not wearing his shoes, so he chased downstairs in a hurry. However, he rushed all the way to the second floor, not only did he not see anyone, he didn't even hear footsteps. "Ah! Did he run upstairs?" Jianzhi wanted to check on the 6th floor, but remembered that he was not wearing shoes, so he decided to go back to his room first.

He walked barefoot to the door of the room, still indignant. He supported the iron railings with both hands and looked towards the central patio, searching for suspicious figures. Although it was broad daylight, and the sound of car horns could be heard in the distance, this multi-span building surrounded on all sides was surprisingly quiet, and the doors of each household were tightly closed. Just at this time--

A slight sound of "slap-" sounded from behind, as if something had fallen to the ground, and he suddenly remembered: "Crap! I just ran out in a hurry and forgot to lock the door..."

When he turned around and was about to enter the house, he found that there seemed to be something in the cat's eye. He just took a step forward and wanted to take a closer look, "Boom-pa-zi-" his left foot broke a sticky thing, "Oh, Xiaoqiang!" Downstairs is the night market, full of cockroaches. The scene, Jianzhi has been surprised. But this time, stepping on a cockroach with bare feet and having a skin-to-skin relationship with its sap was the first time—that kind of sticky, smooth and crisp touch was really disgusting.

Although he could already see that the cat's eye was a lump of viscous liquid, he couldn't control it anymore. He raised the tip of his left foot, stepped back slowly, sat on the stool beside the railing, then put his left foot on his right knee, and took out the shoe-cleaning cloth from the shoe cabinet, intending to wipe off the cockroach corpse on the soles of his feet.

Jianzhi took a closer look, "Huh? This doesn't seem to be Xiaoqiang." He used a shoe-cleaning cloth to pick up the mass on his feet, and looked at it in a bright place: the thing was bleeding, the outer periphery was white, and the middle was black. Come out, before being trampled, it is spherical...

"Uh...uh...ah...!" Jianzhi made a reflex action, and threw the shoe-shining cloth downstairs. He lost his weight and fell to the ground. The reason why he reacted so intensely was because he saw that this thing was—

Eyeballs , and his intuition is human eyeballs !

Jianzhi gasped for breath, clutching the railing tightly and shaking. After a while, he gradually calmed down. At this time, he saw a liquid dripping down from the cat's eye and dripping onto the floor. Only then did he realize that he was just looking at the one stuck outside the cat's eye...

He covered his mouth and tried to keep the contents of his stomach from spurting out. Fortunately, he hadn't eaten yet, so he was able to restrain himself.

Vaguely, he heard the news broadcast from the room:

...a serial murder case that shocked the society, and a major clue appeared. The police have recently received several reports from residents near Wannan Night Market. The people who reported the case claimed that the doorbell at home suddenly rang, and no one was seen after the door was opened, but they saw a human body with severed limbs on the ground, and they were so frightened that they quickly called the police. According to eyewitnesses, they once saw a man who rang the doorbell of the resident, dropped his amputated limb, showed a weird smile, and then ran away quickly. Police have locked down...

Jianzhi's face was pale and sluggish, and urine was leaking from his crotch. However, what made him stunned was not because he heard the content of the news broadcast, but the sound of "锵-锵-锵-" from not far away, the sound of metal objects sliding over the iron railings became more and more clear.

The elongated figure under the light of the west sun gradually approached, overlapping with the pool of urine on the ground...
