They say that when a building is empty you can feel the sadness from that building. If something happened in the building than for years you would feel the evil or the sadness that came from the the events that happened. When the pandemic first started up in Shunde, China there was a building that had a bunch of intersting activity aroun d it. There was white vans and men in suits walking around for a few weeks before they stopped one day.

I wanted to know what the fuss was about so I packed a bag with a flashlight, camara, a notebook, and some gloves. Then dressed in some dark comfortable clothes and a scarf in case the building was cold. I left my aparment, locked the door, and made my way to the building. I looked to see if there was anyone watching the building and when I did not see anyone around the building and found a way through a office room.

"Ok, now that was easy. Let's see what is going on now." I made a comment as I turned around and froze the whole room looked like a monster went through the room the door was throwing against the wall with the center smashed like something slammed against the door, the closet door was ripped off the hinges, there was blood on the walls and floor, the desk was throwing against the wall. There was paper all over the floor, a shelf was broken, and the file cabinet was damaged almost like someone was looking for something.

"What happened here?" I asked as a I pull out my camara out, and took some pictures of the room and then took out my flashlight and started to explore the area before I left the room through the doorway The hallway was dark with a line of doors on either side of the hallway some of the doors was ripped of the hinges while others where hanging on one hinge. there was medical equipment a microscope, medical beds, and papers there was boxs full of needles, bandaids, and test tubes.

As I walked down the hallway I took pictures and made notes in my notebook. After a while I came to a room that looked like a medical bedroom with beds where throwing about and the windows where shattered there was also a uneasy feeling in that room like something dark entered there and never left. I shivered and looked around I felt like someone was watching me, I quickly walked away from the room. The further I went down the hallway the darker, more damages from a animal, and more blood showed up the more I saw the more I started to feel like there was something more to this building than meets the eye.

I came to the end of the hallway and came across a door that was hanging off the hinges and there room beyond the doorway was complete darkness there was some bloody drag marks like some one was dragged backwords when they where trying to get away from something else. "Ok, who wants to go down creepy hallway first." I muttered as I grabbed my flashlight and turned it on before heading down the hallway.

The room beyond had two doorways one was closed and locked from the inside the other doorway was open and there was a large room beyond full of cages with dead animals and blackboards full of designs and results from what looked like experiments. I took out my camara and started getting pictures of the boards and some of the cages. I came to the end of the room and found a computer in front of a window that looked into a dark room. The desk the computer was on had a log information on a post-it note there was also a board that looked like they where doing another experiment as well......with humens.

I logged on and found a lot of weird and creepy information on the study that they did in the building and across the world. So far it looks like there was a group of big time hunters who wanted the perfect game to hunt. It was a scary how much the people paid researchers who did not follow the ethical guidelines and made these beings that could turn around and hunt humans. The next part looked even scarier a human being that has all the parts of the naturel perfect hunter in one person. "Something weird is going on here.....who is there?" I said as I looked up and around the because I felt like someone with dark intentions was watching me. There was no one in the room with me there was the only one place that I could think of where there enity is at is in the room in front of me. When I remember that there is a room in front of me I froze and slowly turned around and looked into the dark room.

Darkness has a feeling it can be warm and comforting or cold and harsh. When I looked into the room there was a cold feeling ran down my back there was a shadow that felt evil that was gathering togather into a shadow figure. He had his head to the side and was looking at me like he was wondering who I was, after a while he started to walk my way even though I know that there was a wall between us I had a feeling that i should get the hell out of there.

I turned around and ran as fast as I could past the cages out the lab door and down the dark hallway just as I reached the door I saw the figure. "WHAT THE HELL!" I slipped on the blood as I stopped and turn at the same time I was able get away and ran back the way I came. After getting to the lab I looked around and saw what I think is a closet a sound came from behind me.

"Ok bad idea, but who cares that is the safest place I could find." I ran to the closet and slammed the door in the shadows face and held the door closed. I was breathing fast with my head down facing away from the room behind me and froze again.

There was something behind me.

I could feel him in the room with me.

I could feel him in in my mind like a comforting presence, but something was different about this person.

I slowly turned around.......
