I Am The Demon

Toy

Su Yu continued to look around the room. The sound of his footsteps against the thickly carpeted floor is dull and slow. This made Su Yu feel as if he is walking on a skin... which feels really disconcerting. He shook his head to shake off the disturbing thoughts in his mind. He can't scare himself.

The room's owner is of a child, this is true just looking at the childish wallpaper and the childish design of the bed and the blanket. There is also the floor covered by a thick carpet to act as a cushion for fall to which Su Yu feel akin to a human skin. Maybe, this is just a part of the evil ghost's illusion so that he would frighten himself.

Anyway, Su Yu recalled that the two rooms in the first floor of the right wing of the Purple Old Manor are owned by two adults – one man and one woman. But, this room in the second floor is of a child's room. Could it be that the rooms in the first floor are owned by the adults, while the second floor rooms are owned by the children? This is possible, considering that the bathroom in the rooms of the first floor have a grab bar either for the disabled, or the elderly.

Su Yu also recalled that the evil ghost appeared in this room, precisely from the bottom of the bed where it was hiding earlier. Could it be that the evil ghost is a child, or one of the children of the family? He thought and knelt on the floor on one knee before lifting up the bedsheet that was covering the bottom of the bed.

This action made the already anxious online audience feel more anxious and scared. A barrage of exclamation points can be seen on the mobile phone's screen.

"AAHHHH!!!!!"

"FCKKK!!! Why did the anchor lift the bedsheet?!?! Does he know that it is one of the taboos in the horror movies?!!!"

"ASFDGK!##$@#%%!!!!"

"Tell me, why the fck am I watching this?! And in the middle of the night?!"

"If I remember earlier, this was the direction where the evil ghost came from..."

"Upstairs, do you mean that the evil ghost might be hiding under the bed earlier?!"

"Oh, sht! Oh, sht! Oh, sht!!! *covers eyes, but still peeking"

"Then... there won't be something under the bed, right?!"

Su Yu, who has been ignoring his livestream since he is still acting, finally lifted the bedsheet, revealing what was in the bottom of the bed. But, unlike what the online audience is thinking, the bottom of the bed is almost empty... yes, almost, since in the middle there lies a toy.

It was a toy train, and some pieces, especially the wheels, were missing. Either the owner of this toy played with the toy train always, or the toy actually fell thus some of its pieces were missing. Anyway, Su Yu wasn't present when the toy train's pieces went missing, so he didn't care. He was about to lower the bedsheet back when suddenly, he heard a scraping sound.

Before Su Yu could react, he felt that something touched his hand. If he was only looking at his mobile phone, he would see that the toy train actually moved on its own, towards Su Yu! The online audience saw it because Su Yu placed the selfie stick on the floor, thus they could also see the entire floor.

"FCK!!!!! Here it goes again!!!!!"

"Sht! I can't! I can't! I can't! This is too scary!!! I pity the anchor who is experiencing this!!! QAQ"

"AAAAAHHHHH!!! The toy moved! I knew it! It really movedddd!!!!"

"One of the classic scenes in the horror movies! Damn it! And this is not even a movie!"

"Wuwuwuwuwu I am too scared to look under my bed now... TTATT"

Su Yu didn't see the online audience's comments as he was surprised that the toy moved on its own, and even towards him. Is it trying to attack him? He thought, thinking the same as the audience. But, what can a toy do? He shook his head, not taking the toy seriously... which is a mistake.

Just as Su Yu was about to move back his hand, he froze. Because he suddenly saw flashes of scenes inside his mind, as if memories. And he confirmed that they are indeed memories, since the next second, his vision turned dark. When he opened his eyes again, he saw that he is still in the same room. But, unlike the darkness filling it, the room this time is bright... and is also warm, as if filled with light.

Su Yu, for a moment, thought that it was already day. But, when he looked at his wristwatch, his eyes darkened since the time is clearly three quarters past the midnight (12:45 AM). He waited for Duan Yuan for thirty minutes earlier, and then spent fifteen minutes investigating the child's room where the evil ghost came from.

So... this should be the memories of the owner of the toy train. Could it be the evil ghost? Su Yu thought and blinked his eyes to regain his clear vision, only to be surprised when he saw that he is under the bed and is holding the toy train. But, his hands are actually small.

He turned into a child... he came the owner of the toy train. But, who is this child? It should be a boy... so the evil ghost is male? Su Yu's mind is spinning fast as he waited for what is going to happen. His heart is beating fast as he listened to the footsteps approaching the bed.

The footsteps are light and slow. But, this just made the owner of the toy train feel more scared. Whoever the owner of the footsteps is feared by the owner of the toy train. Su Yu could feel his fear, which makes him almost going to faint.

"Boo!" a voice spoke as a face hanging upside down from the bed appeared.

The author has something to say:

Su Yu might originally have the power to see the memories in an object. But, since Su Yu's power right now was weakened and can't use this power. So, it is whoever it is that helped Su Yu to see the memories.
