Chapter 1, The Color-Changing Box (Part 1)

The muffled sound of footsteps came from the end of the alley, and the extinguished streetlight at the intersection eerily lit up again, illuminating the figure emerging from the alley.

After Pu Ge returned home, he took out the box he had found from his bag. The box was constructed similarly to a Rubik's Cube, made of an unknown metallic material that resembled gold. It was composed of small square blocks assembled together. What was peculiar about this box was that it always felt icy to the touch; the previous sensation of electric shock was absent, leaving him perplexed. Even more astonishing was that whenever the box was directed towards a light source, it would automatically change colors. Sometimes the entire box would transform into a single color, while at other times, each face would display a different color.

You... you..." Puge had to admit, he was defeated, his expression turning into one of helplessness, as if he wanted to cry but had no tears.

The young man waved, and that group quickly disappeared into the night

However, the three alarm clocks, which were hanging from a rope that was strung up from the bookshelf beside the bed, began to ring loudly in succession.

This Rubik's Cube should be a new product from the electronics department, but unfortunately, he is only familiar with mechanical engineering. After he grew tired of playing with it, he placed the box on the table by the bed, then turned off the light and lay down on the bed, falling into a deep sleep like a dead pig

Ah! Puge grasped that messy chicken coop of hair, having only gone to sleep after 3 AM last night. Damn alarm clock, be careful or I will throw you all out the window

Puge's expression was displeased as he touched his nose and asked, "Why?"

The following morning

There was no one in the surrounding rooms, yet the three alarm clocks that usually hung on the bookshelf at https://mhetushucomcom were missing. Could it be that I was dreaming? But just now, it seemed like I felt my hand stretching out.

In the dark alley, several gunshots rang out, and then a person stumbled out, knocking over the trash can at the street corner. Soon, he got back up and crossed the road, heading into the alley ahead.

However, just as he was taking out the trash, he discovered a shiny object among the pile. Puge crouched down, brushed off the foul-smelling garbage covering it, and revealed a box the size of a Rubik's Cube. He picked it up and, illuminated by the moonlight, noticed that the box had surprisingly changed from black to white. Moreover, through his gloves, it gave his palm a strange sensation akin to an electric shock. Puge was quite puzzled; it was the first time he had seen such a peculiar cube box. Without hesitation, he cleaned the box and tucked it into the pocket of his work uniform.

Uncertain how much time had passed, the box placed on the table suddenly began to shift in the darkness. Small squares disassembled themselves and spread across the table, revealing a cocoon figure the size of an egg inside. The cocoon figure, as white as snow, emanated a chilling aura.

In the midst of a hazy atmosphere, a sudden slap landed on that arm, akin to the sting of a mosquito bite, prompting a scratch at that hand, before slipping back into a vague slumber. Meanwhile, the insect that had been there vanished, and the cube on the table reassembled itself, transforming into another color, standing there as if to declare the end of its mission

I... I will chop! Chop, chop, chop! Even if I become disabled, I will still cut down this monster!

After numerous agreements, Piao Ge had to admit that the willpower of this monster was steadfast and unyielding, and it silently gazed at him.

Suddenly

Suddenly, the right hand released the baseball bat on its own, then it elongated and stretched out, soft and pliable, before turning around. What terrified Park Ge even more was that his five fingers transformed into a small figure with only one eye, staring at him.

However

The bald man's expression darkened as he commanded, "Search again! We must retrieve that item! We cannot allow the Wei family to come back and hold us accountable!"

The alarm clock on the table began to jump and shout as if it had been wound up

Puge's facial muscles twitched as he clenched his teeth; he has always despised being threatened in his life

Are you sure? the voice asked

Monster sister, please have mercy, leave me, a person of no worth, alone...

"Boss, we have searched the vicinity thoroughly..." a young man with yellow hair holding a handgun stepped forward to explain

Puge, wrapped in the quilt, was in a dazed state and did not realize what was happening. Just as he was about to fall back asleep, that pleasant child's voice echoed in his mind once again.

Ring ring

The bald man’s pupils contracted sharply, a flash of severity crossing his face, and he turned to disappear into the dark alley, while the streetlight went completely dark again

Bang bang bang

Thinking of this, Pu Ge raised his right hand and tugged at his fingers, but nothing changed. It must be that he had watched too many science fiction films.

Then I will also store it at your www.hetushu.com.com's feet

The burly man, with a shiny bald head, had a scar extending from his left eye down to his lip, adding an air of ferocity and ruggedness. In his hand, he held a smoking handgun.

Nonsense! Puge tightened his grip on the baseball bat, ready to give that invisible guy a whack at any moment

After returning to the store, the manager urged several other employees to clean up and close. They did not finish work until nearly 2 AM.

"I have cut off my right hand, yet I can still send it to your left hand!" The little figure that emerged from that hand looked at him and responded in a cold tone.

However, at that moment, a voice in a puzzled tone echoed in my mind: "What is a science fiction film? Can it be eaten?"

Clearly, he is contemplating that when necessary, he would truly pick up the fallen watermelon knife and chop down this monster. He would rather die than be captured by those scientists to be dissected as an alien for research, preferring death over being a guinea pig

After a considerable amount of time, the quiet house gradually lit up with sparse lights. However, at that moment, a chilling and piercing scream echoed from the alley ahead, followed closely by two gunshots. The residents whose lights had just turned on quickly extinguished them again, fearing that those outside might come for them

The five-fingered one-eyed little person pondered for a moment, then conveyed a thought: "If I were to transfer it to your head, would you also cut it off?"

I cannot leave you

Is there anything else to be done

How? Are you a man? How about exchanging it for the over 40 GB of adult films I have treasured?

Come here, monster https://www.hetushu.com, little brother, be good, turn around and I will buy you a lollipop to eat

He muttered greetings to the manager's ancestors while skillfully pushing the cart towards the alley where the garbage was to be disposed of. After much effort, he finally managed to push the cart, loaded with three large bins of trash, to the entrance of the alley.

"You... what kind of monster are you?" Park Ge pointed at it and asked, then bent down to pull out a watermelon knife from under the bed, "I... I will chop you up!"

Puge shouted again, picking up a baseball bat from beside the bed and looking around the room, yelling: "You... who are you? Where exactly are you? Come out! Come out!"

Park Ge, lying on the bed, reached out a hand to turn off the alarm clock, and then with a soft sound, fell back into a deep sleep again

"Good!" A very childish and innocent voice responded to him. Then, Park Ge felt his right hand suddenly stretch like rubber, directly grabbing the iron wire of the alarm clock and throwing it out of the window. Soon, he heard the sound of something shattering.

The elongated little figure responded from his mind: "Because once I leave your body, I will die. The nuclear silkworm, once it resides in the human body, relies on the essence and blood of the human for survival. It cannot be separated from the human body for too long, otherwise we will die." After saying this, the little figure raised its enormous eyes to look at Park Ge, appearing somewhat pitiful.

At this moment, Pu Ge is extremely infuriated, wishing he could bring over the family tree of the manager of the "Clover" café and call out each name to greet them one by one. He wants to see in this dark and windy alley, where it is pitch black, how that scoundrel deliberately provoked him to dump garbage here. Even work-study students should not be bullied like this

Puge appeared somewhat helpless, and in a somewhat incoherent manner, stubbornly retorted, "Then... I will find someone else to chop off my left hand too!"

At the same time, a group of people emerged from another alley, dressed in a haphazard manner, each face bearing an expression of fierce determination. However, they all carried different types of weapons, and their movements and demeanor resembled that of standard soldiers

After he placed several buckets of garbage here, he immediately pushed the cart back toward the restaurant. The darkness of the alley always made him feel uncomfortable

The sky, with a half-moon obscured by wisps of dark clouds, is pierced by the distant barking of a stray dog from the alleyways. The yellowed light casts a patch of brightness in the gloomy lane, but suddenly the illuminated streetlamp begins to flicker erratically. After two crackling sounds, the inky darkness swallows the only illuminated alley, plunging the surroundings into a profound silence.

At that moment, the cocoon puppet suddenly emitted a faint cracking sound. Then, a transparent worm crawled out of the cocoon puppet. This worm, not particularly plump, began to devour the tattered cocoon puppet piece by piece. Subsequently, its body swelled slightly, yet it seemed still unsatisfied. It raised its eyeless head to search around, then rolled its plump body onto Puge's blanket. Just as this fat worm was making its way toward Puge's head, Puge turned over, and a large hand happened to press down on the fat worm. However, it seemed still unsatisfied, raising its eyeless head to search around again, and then rolling its plump body onto Puge's blanket. Just as this fat worm was making its way toward Puge's head, Puge turned over, and a large hand happened to press down on the fat worm.

After a while, it finally responded

"No, it's fine..." Piao Ge replied in a daze, then suddenly widened his eyes, jumped up, and looked around, shouting: "Who?"
