I discovered my parents' secret.
Every night at midnight, they go swimming in the Dead Sea.
At first, I thought it was just a hobby of theirs.
Until that day—
I saw my mother's neck elongate and twist, spitting venom like a snake.
I saw pale, withered hands emerge from my father's earlobes, dripping with blood.
That's when I realized, my parents are not human.
A year ago, I noticed abnormal bruises on my sister's body, as if her body was decaying as if drained by someone.
It wasn't until after her death that I saw the truth in the diary.
Dad and mom are not at home.
Do not open the door for anyone.
Especially not for your grandma.
My uncle, the son of a Japanese man.
He and his mother, my grandmother, lived in the mountain village for decades.
He never married in his lifetime, despised by everyone.
Because my grandmother once helped the invaders, causing the death of half the village.
Yet she insisted on giving birth to him, this "mongrel."
At the age of sixty-four, he was diagnosed with esophageal cancer and died in less than two months.
It was only when I went back to take care of his affairs that I discovered.
The story of my uncle and grandmother was completely different from what others told.
My sister, who has been married for many years, suddenly became pregnant.
My parents were so happy that they hosted a grand banquet, and they asked me to toast the guests on behalf of my sister.
But... my brother-in-law is in a vegetative state.
Not long after, the children of the guests who came to the banquet inexplicably fell seriously ill.
Meanwhile, my sister became more and more beautiful, and her belly grew bigger and bigger.
It wasn't until I saw my dad sneaking into my sister's room in the middle of the night...
I have a habit of loving to eat fish eyeballs.
When my future mother-in-law heard about it, she eagerly brought me a jar of pickled fish eyes from the countryside.
I ate them for over a month, until during a live stream call, the girl on the other end slowly said:
"You are pregnant with 108 in this pregnancy."
Approaching the Kingdom of Daughters, as the woman rowing the boat came closer, I caught a whiff of the smell of human flesh, emanating from the sachet at her waist.
Looking at the woman's face, amidst her human features, there flickered a hint of a ghostly shadow, causing me to panic and kick wildly.
Senior Sand immediately leaned in close to my ear and whispered, "Don't panic, don't let Senior Brother know."
I quickly calmed my mind and steadied my posture.
But why would the people of the Kingdom of Daughters have ghostly shadows, and why would they use human flesh for sachets?
Most puzzling of all, why was Senior Sand worried about Senior Brother finding out?
My cousin, who had always excelled in her studies, suddenly went crazy before the college entrance examination.
The next day, the richest family in the village, the Diao family, sent a sedan chair to marry her off.
The villagers all laughed, saying, "The Diao family is so shrewd, marrying a crazy bride?"
A few days later, my cousin's academically challenged husband got into college.
That night, my cousin passed away.
On the fifteenth of July, during the grave-sweeping festival, I suddenly saw her appear on the ancestral altar in my home.
She was greedily swallowing gold ingots.
She had returned.
