Due to the second requirement of the immigration application:

"They have a clear understanding of concepts such as Pseudo-Human, anomalies, and monsters, and possess a certain level of knowledge about horror literature."

Therefore, people who immigrate from other countries generally have a high level of awareness and considerable interest in horror literature. Moreover, their offspring born in their new countries often receive relevant horror literature education during their upbringing, cultivating this interest from a very young age.

therefore,

There are many horror literature websites in Federated States, which are also the most popular websites for most people to browse in their spare time.

[4hs] is one of the comprehensive horror forums.

Because the website rarely exposes itself and there are certain restrictions on registering for the forum, it is often dominated by young people who like deep horror.

The 4hs forum initially divided different types of horror literature into five major categories and sections.

1. "Gory and Uncomfortable"

2. "Psychology"

3. "Hitman"

4. "Monsters"

5. "Supernatural Phenomena"

Each major category is further subdivided into subcategories. For example, the monster category includes zombies, Werewolf and Vampire, Alien Sci-Fi, Giant Creatures, and so on.

As times change, more and more new types of horror culture emerge, and the forum will also update its sections, such as the recently popular Body Horror.

While people use 4hs to exchange and discuss horror literature, many also take this opportunity to find like-minded partners, and some even gradually develop romantic relationships through the website's built-in social system.

Andy is a 4hs user, not a veteran, and even registered his account after starting work.

His favorite section to browse is the "Hitman" category.

He met his girlfriend in this forum; they were both fans of killer movies and also had some interest in other horror literature.

Although they have been a couple for two months, they have never met in person.

And recently, Andy encountered a strange thing.

His job is as a car mechanic, and his working hours are mainly concentrated in the afternoon and evening, often not until after 10 p. m.

Starting around last week, Andy began to feel like he was being followed on his way home.

Andy, after all, was a fan of horror movies and had learned a lot of fighting techniques in school, so he always carried car repair tools with him.

Once they sense the presence of a follower, they will suddenly turn around or pretend not to notice, and then quickly hide at the next fork in the road to observe from the opposite direction.

No matter what he did, he could never see the stalker, not even the slightest clue.

It seemed that the stalker would immediately disappear as soon as he showed any sign of alertness.

The other party always seemed to be able to evade surveillance, and only followed Andy when he was alone.

but.

This surveillance would only continue until Andy reached his doorstep; once he reached his rented apartment complex, the surveillance would cease.

Because their city was somewhat unusual, there was no Investigation Bureau there. After discussing the matter with his girlfriend, Andy took out some money and went to a local agency, requesting them to send someone to find the stalker.

As the agency took action, Andy could no longer sense the presence of the stalker, and everything seemed to return to normal.

A week has passed.

A new horror film titled "Night of Fear" will be released locally.

Andy mustered up his courage and bought two tickets to meet his online girlfriend for the first time. He thought it would be a difficult process, but they quickly agreed on the time and place in just a few words.

The thought of finally ending 27 years of being single kept Andy awake almost all night.

He's either fantasizing about what his girlfriend looks like, thinking about what to wear tomorrow, or even imagining all sorts of things that will happen after they meet.

[21:00]

Andy arrived at the meeting place on time. Although it was their first time meeting, considering that they were both fans of murder mystery movies, he specially wore a long coat and big leather shoes, and even hung the hammer he used for repairs on his waist.

He also sent a photo of his outfit to his girlfriend, saying that he would be waiting in seat number three in the movie theater waiting area.

Time ticked by, and the date was well past the appointed time, but his girlfriend was nowhere to be seen.

The messages I sent have gone unanswered.

The movie is about to start.

Just when Andy thought he'd been stood up, a notification popped up on his bracelet: a message from someone he was following.

[I have arrived]

Andy looked up and froze instantly.

The "Girl" waving and greeting him was completely different from any of the scenarios he had imagined.

Andy never asked what the other person looked like, nor did he expect her to be particularly beautiful, but the situation he was in was still beyond his control.

The "Girl" in front of him, holding a large popcorn in one hand and a large bottle of soda in the other, was much larger than him, the car mechanic.

[obesity]

With a height of just over 1.6 meters, his weight appears to be over 200 pounds.

Not only that,

The "Girl" was also dressed as an unconventional serial killer.

The clown makeup was somewhat unsettling, along with an ill-fitting black and white striped top and a pair of tight leather pants that looked like they were about to burst.

She also had an oddly shaped leather backpack slung over her back, as if it contained tools for committing the crime.

Such a physique and attire attract a lot of attention wherever she goes.

"Mr. Nightmare?" the Girl called out Andy's online name in advance.

"Right..."

Andy's upbringing prevented him from leaving immediately, and he tried his best to maintain a natural expression.

The Girl jogged over and apologized repeatedly, "I'm sorry, something happened on the way and I was delayed. Let's go! The movie is about to start."

"Good."

Inside the movie theater.

Andy's mind was no longer on the movie; he would occasionally glance at the Girl beside him, finding it hard to believe that she was the person he had been chatting with online.

It's not just a matter of image.

The Girl's behavior was equally embarrassing; she took off her shoes as soon as she sat down and put one foot directly on the back of the seat in front of her.

I kept munching on popcorn while watching the movie.

The "crunching" sound accompanied almost the entire movie screening. Occasionally, he would cough violently because he ate too fast, and then gulp down a large bottle of cola.

As the movie was about to end,

The Girl also did something quite exaggerated, apparently because popcorn was stuck deep in her teeth and she couldn't get it out no matter how hard she tried.

Left with no other option, the Girl had to have all her teeth removed.

Yes, they are dentures.

Andy estimated that the other person was only around twenty years old, yet he was already wearing a full set of dentures. After removing the dirt between the dentures with his hands, he stuffed them back into the broken mouth.

The movie has ended.

Andy had already made up his mind. After the two discussed the movie plot briefly, he left under the pretext of having a stomachache.

The other person didn't stop them, just waved goodbye normally, and looked forward to the next date.

Back to the rented room.

Andy couldn't believe his girlfriend, with whom he'd been chatting for two whole months, would act this way. He sat down at his computer and went to his girlfriend's profile page.

In fact, he had clicked in countless times before.

The album is full of screenshots from horror movies and some everyday landscape photos; there are no pictures of the person in them.

Andy continued browsing through his girlfriend's past posts.

I finally found a post from three years ago where his girlfriend uploaded a picture of her upper body wearing a scary mask. In the photo, his girlfriend wasn't fat at all; on the contrary, she had a great figure.

Unfortunately, the mask covered the face, making it impossible to determine the specific features.

"She's gained so much weight in three years? Could she have suffered some kind of blow...? That's certainly possible, after all, everyone living in this city is under a lot of psychological pressure."

Forget it, I'll never chat online again.

Disheartened, Andy closed his laptop and went to the bathroom to wash himself thoroughly, trying his best to forget the smell on his body and his so-called girlfriend.

Shower finished.

Andy was no longer bound by his sense of morality and prepared to delete his girlfriend's contact information directly.

But just as he was drying himself and walking out of the bathroom, he suddenly froze.

There's something extra on the computer chair.

A backpack.

It was the Girl's backpack that she carried on their date tonight.

Pink, swollen, and uncomfortable...

Andy was deeply impressed because the backpack didn't match the other person's outfit at all, and it was left on the empty seat next to him the whole time they watched the movie.

He didn't touch the backpack immediately, but instead checked the room.

After confirming that no one was inside and that the doors and windows showed no signs of being opened, he slowly approached the backpack. At the same time, he used the bracelet to contact his previous agency, explaining that his home had been allegedly broken into and requesting that they come over.

After receiving a response from the firm, he picked up the metal hammer and went to the backpack.

Hold the zipper with one hand and slowly slide it open!

A large amount of dense black hair squeezed out from the gap in the zipper.

Even Andy, who was very interested in horror literature and had a certain resistance to it, was so frightened by the scene that he took two steps back, but did not sit down.

Instead, they took pictures of the scene and sent them to the agency, asking them to come over as soon as possible.

He then approached again and began to examine the contents of the bag.

A head.

The woman's head looked to be around twenty years old, quite beautiful, perfectly matching Andy's image of his girlfriend, or even taller.

Even though Andy had never met this woman before, he felt a strong sense of familiarity with her, and even had a terrible suspicion.

Beep beep!

The sudden notification sound from his bracelet startled him. Looking down, he broke out in a cold sweat. It was a message from his "girlfriend" whom he hadn't had time to delete.

"Mr. Nightmare, is your girlfriend pretty? Also, thank you so much for watching a movie with me tonight. Men used to run away as soon as they saw me."

I will cherish you.

Andy's arms trembled with fear, followed by anger.

Her fingers, trembling with anger, began to reply rapidly:

"You filthy fat pig, don't let me catch you! Otherwise, I'll smash you to pieces and throw you to feed the pigs! I'll f*** you!"

After you finish editing, click send.

Beep beep!

A notification sound came from inside the house; the recipient was inside!

In an instant.

Andy froze, his grip on the hammer tightening. If the attacker were inside, all the better; he could kill him on the spot, like a serial killer.

He was blinded by anger.

Andy followed the sound, slowly leaning down to look under the bed.

If anything appeared from under the bed, he would strike it with all his might, gripping the hammer tightly in his hand.

However,

When he bent down completely and reached out to lift the drooping sheets.

Underneath the empty bed was only a severed arm with a bracelet attached.

at the same time.

A fat Girl with clown makeup was perched on the ceiling, smiling at him.
