【PRELUDE】
Darkness, endless darkness. Suddenly,
In the beautiful green planet...
----------------------------------------------------------------
What am I doing? My skin is so pale, my body is extremely heavy, I think I need to take a walk.
Ah! What is the dazzling thing? Is that the sun? I can't help but raise my arms to shield my eyes, but I was unable to do such a simple action.
My appearance was terrifying, I need to get out of here.
My stomach seems to be starving, I think I need to eat.
What is this, I took a deep breath, his/her scent made me excited. I couldn't help but shiver, my throat gave out a faint howl... My throbbing heartbeat prompted me to take a bite. But something was screaming in my head in protest, I couldn't listen to the noise clearly as if a wet sponge had been stuck inside my ears. So delicious... I shook my head and no longer paid heed to the noise.
Where is this? I looked around.
The cold ground, the broken corpses...
Well? My hand....... It is red. Is this blood? So fragrant, I closed my eyes and licked it slowly with my tongue.
"!" my mind suddenly became clear! My heart was pounding frantically.
I, who am I? My head feels heavy. Some pictures are flickering. A middle-aged man wearing a white robe and elegant glasses... A black-haired woman with a slender body and distressed face... It hurts... It hurts... "Dad! No! I don't want to sleep. I..." The memory ceases here. So sad, tears seem to flow out of my eyes, but why am I numb. I miss mom...
----------------------------------------------------------------
My name is Mo Yilan, my father is a professor, and my mother was his student.
My nickname is Fanfan[1] because when I was young, whenever I ate rice, the rice grain would always stick to my face. Those were the happiest times of my life.
My mother, just the term mother is not enough to describe her. My mother loved me very much. She was a gentle and beautiful woman with long hair like a waterfall.
My father also loved me very much until I turned ten. All of this changed when I turned into ten.
Afterward, I'd slip in and out of consciousness. There were many uncles and aunties engaged by my side every day. I don't know what they were up to. Occasionally I would open my eyes and observe them through the glass. Oh! I forgot to introduce it. This is my best friend and also my residence. It is a transparent glass 'room' where I had spent 70% of my time. The people outside the glass cover looked at me with that glimmering eyes, but they would keep the distance from me as if they were afraid that I would become something terrifying.
During this time, my body would be in a very painful state. They'd inject unknown chemicals into my body through the machine, and 'they' included my father too. I hate him. It was he who brought me here. Why did he throw me away in this glass cage, I miss my mother, where is my mother? As long as they don't turn on the speakers, my voice cannot be heard. But I know he will understand by reading my lips.
My skin is getting pale by every passing day because it's been a long time since I have seen the sun. My eyes were swelling to the point as if they were about to explode as if a demon was slowly crawling out of my pupils! I look at the people in front of me and often imagine using my teeth to tear their skin apart! My nails piercing their flesh! I looked at his body, especially his neck, I could feel the pulse beating under their skin!
"Murmur, murmur." I can hear the sound of blood calling me!
I smashed the glass wall.
I feel that I am sick. My limbs were gradually stiffening, spots began to appear in my skin, my hair began to be messy, and my eyesight began to obscure. A fierce vigor permeates my body.
----------------------------------------------------------------
"No!" every part of my body was twitching while both legs were trying to hold my upper body upright.
I squeezed my eyes shut, and slowly curled up into the fetal position as in the mother's womb...
I.........What have I done?
A blurry face.
A big hand is holding a tiny hand, swinging it from side to side...
"Fanfan, ****'s precious baby"
"Baby, come to ****"
"Hey, good girl!"
Each memory flickers by quickly, fuzzy, and hard to see, the only consistent thing was the beaming smile on the face of the speaker.
"Fanfan, **** loves you..."
"Fanfan, papa loves you"
"Papa loves you."
"Love you!!!"
I heard these words over and over again, and my head was about to explode!
That face became clear bit by bit! Flat brow ridges, tall nose bridge, slightly thin lips...
The last expression is a familiar warm smile. The part of my memory about dad is very vague, or it's that I don't want to reminisce about it.
Why? Why?
Leave me in the damn glass cover without explaining anything! ?
Why... You can still smile and tell me that you love me...
My consciousness plunged into darkness again, within the dim moonlight, my mother is here with me, my father also is….. Those were the times immeasurable..... The corners of lips were slightly curved.

Splitting headache...
The thin and fragile eyelids were difficult to move. The girl slowly opened her eyes and stood up.
Where is this?
The surrounding light is dim and it is difficult to see, the messy equipment seems to have been damaged by something, and the humid air exudes a strong smell of blood.
The girl raised her head. In the depths of her pupils, a red glow quickly flashed away.
The long, supple, dark hair, the clear and hollow eyes, and the pale and shining skin. The young girl who was like a newborn, was incompatible with the surrounding environment.
"Where is this?" the girl asked herself.
"Who am I?"
"I..." She frowned slightly.
There was a name on the tip of her tongue, but it took all of her energy to say it out loud..
"Fanfan..." Is this my name?
The young girl staggered to leave the ground and stood up.
"So heavy!" The body was as stiff and heavy as if it had been inactive for a long time.
Want to leave here... Want to escape...
"Escape? Why do I think so involuntarily? There seems to be something here that makes me feel sick..."
"Crunch, crunch."
A hair raising sound echoes each time I move my creaking bones, slowly as I readjust to it, I let my body move further...
What's wrong with me? Now, this situation is really bad, I should stand a bit more straight, it will look better.
Walking like a slow-mo movie, who are these corpses on the ground? Do I know them? Sniffing the blood in the air, I have an urge to eat.
I want to find out what kind of species I was .
Eating a human ? My body was extremely stiff, and some sharp teeth in my mouth rubbed gently.
Werewolf.
But I don't have a wolf's head or long hair covering my whole body.
"Grr…" My throat made a growling sound, the bodies on the ground was tempting me very much, and my instinct was telling me to use my teeth to tear them up........
Vampire？
Oh, I have to go for a walk, the vampire can't walk in the sun, I will know when I reach a sunny place.
…………
There's no need to make things so difficult for myself! Isn't it obvious?
I am a zombie.
TL CORNER:
