I am a boarding student and can only go home on weekends.

But this week, my parents went to attend a relative's funeral, so I'm home alone.

It was after 8 o'clock in the evening when I finally arrived home.

There was a prominent note posted on the entrance wall.

【1. Do not use your phone after 8 o'clock at night.】

【2. Do not eat at the dining table.】

【3. The delivery person's head is on their neck, and the delivery is in their hand. If it's the other way around, do not open the door.】

【4. Ensure that you safely return to your bedroom before it gets dark. When you are the only person at home, the bedroom is absolutely safe.】

【5. If you are still outside when the moon rises, make sure there is no one around you.】

【6. The refrigerator can only be used to store food. Before storing, remove inedible parts such as hair, teeth, and bows.】

【7. Do not go out without permission.】

What a strange note.

How can the head and the delivery be reversed?

Could it be that the delivery person has their head on their neck and is holding their brain in their hand?

Just then, the doorbell rang.

"Delivery!"

It was the one I ordered on my way home.

I immediately opened the door and took the delivery.

But the delivery person didn't let go.

He tightly held onto the handle of the delivery bag and pulled down his collar.

"Little girl, how do you like my red crystal necklace?"

Only then did I notice that the delivery person was wearing a very short red crystal necklace around his neck.

The crystal was teardrop-shaped, and the too-short necklace choked it like a choker, giving the impression of freshly flowing blood.

The third note from my parents:

【The delivery person's head is on their neck, and the delivery is in their hand. If it's the other way around, do not open the door.】

A chill ran up my spine and tingled my scalp.
