As Li Heng hastily arrived after a 20 minute walk. He took some breaths and leans onto the outer fence of it.
The warehouse sat at the edge of an industrial district long past its prime.
Rust streaked down its walls like dried blood. Broken streetlights flickered weakly, their light swallowed by the encroaching darkness. No businesses operated here anymore. Even delivery drivers avoided the area.
He took one final breath and left a message for his parents before entering through a hole in the fence
No guards
No lights
No cameras, at least he couldn't see any
He wanders around for a moment before he spotted
Blood
Not old, it even barely dried on the floor
He looked around closely and saw scattered footsteps, drag marks that leap deeper and blood stains on the walls dragged around in weird directions
Li Heng: "Bai Zhe?" He whispered
*Click*
A sudden sound in front of him
He stepped back a little and saw a person resembling a cop was standing there with red stains over his uniform and pants. His upper body and head was in the shadow however as the moon tails a little. The shadow revealed a large spider head bitting his head to his upper jaw, the spider body looks oddly similar to a male body and its legs extended out from its back.
Li Heng froze in horror as the spider suddenly released the cop corpse as it bit off his upper head, spattering blood across the concrete wall and floor. The spider than hungrily grounded the remains, crushing bones, blood and tissues continued spattering everywhere.
(RUN, RUN, RUN, RUN,RUN, RUN, RUN, RUN, RUN, RUN,RUN,RUN, RUN) His instinct told him but his body won'T let him
Suddenly, another cop hidden in the shadows fires his gun at it, causing the two to fight in clashing battles. Li Heng took the chance to run away as he hears the cop loud agony screams before silence completely
As he got out of the warehouse, the warehouse suddenly bursts into flames from within and quickly surrounded the building. Li Heng doesn't care about what happened as he dashed back to his home
Along the way, the memories of the man spider and the cop corpse continues to sicken him and finally…
*Vomits*
He vomits at a public bathroom and washes his face repeatedly before walking back with a crutched leg
After a 20 minute walk, it was already nightime and his parents were glad when Li Heng entered the room
Wu Shao Ning: "Son, what happened? Why did you take so long? Did you find Bai Zhe?" She asked but Li Heng said nothing and quickly enters his room, locking the door
Li An: "Son, is there something you want to take about?"
...…
Li Heng never answered
Li An: "If you need something, we'll be there for you...We'll left the food at the oven for you. Good night, son"
…
After Li Heng calm down after another 10 minutes, he looked up the news of the warehouse and found the related news report
Reporter 1: "Breaking news in ChongQing where a abandoned warehouse was caught on fire one hour ago, the authorities suspect it may be due to the long unrepaired wires that caused the fire. No people were harmed in the incident...Now, we move on to the Ma Family Charity foundation where-"
(What…? No…What about those cops? And-And that Spider?!) He thought to himself before sinking into his bed
Li Heng: "I'm hallucinating. Yeah. I'm hallucinating..."
...…
After a while when Li Heng finally calmed down, he suddenly got a digital system on his face, he jumped slightly before regaining composure
Li Heng: "System User?"
The digital system page was extremely simple, with only two options
'Yes'
'No'
Li Heng hesitated for a moment. What if this thing can helped him now? What if this thing can grant him infinite money so he doesn't have to work in a 24/7 part time job? What if this is what Bai Zhe became?
...…
After minutes of hesitation, Li Heng clicked the 'No' opinion and it immediately glitches into error codes that spreads across his room. With a second sound
*Poof*
The system vanishes just as it appears. Li Heng looked in confusion as the room returned to normal. Li Heng blinked again, still normal
Li Heng sat back at his bed, leaning to the wall, remembering what bizarre incidents he got today.
When he lay down at his bed, the ring glows brighter and vanishes a few seconds later
