"You are Chen An's parent, right?"
Teacher Gao sat down opposite the man again and pulled out information from a stack of documents on his desk.
"..."
The middle-aged man turned his head back. He didn't speak. The weird smile on his face matched that bluish-white face, so stiff that it looked like it was welded on with a plaster mask.
"Are you Chen An's parent?"
Teacher Gao felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by him. He frowned subconsciously, suppressed the boredom in his heart, and repeated it again.
After a while, until Teacher Gao repeated it several times, the man nodded slowly.
No matter what she said, the expression on this guy's face never changed. He kept smiling strangely, as if he didn't listen to her words at all.
During this process, Teacher Gao also noticed his eyes. The color of the man's pupils was unusually turbid, the whites of his pupils were a dull yellow, and there were white flakes like sediment on the pupils... In short, it didn't look like a living pair. human eyes;
When a man looks at others, his vision is as unfocused as a blind man, as if he is staring into space.
While Teacher Gao was talking to him, he was muttering secretly. The strange feeling in his heart was getting stronger and stronger, and he felt a little hairy.
This person...could there be something wrong with his brain, right? How could his family let such a person come over...
Teacher Gao sighed. She held her forehead again, feeling that her head was aching.
She has been too busy recently. The double pressure from work and family has almost made her breathless.
She became grumpy and had trouble sleeping; and as she reached middle age, her energy and physical vitality declined, so...
Therefore, it's just that my nerves are too sensitive and I can't help but think about things.
As long as you survive this period of time, you'll be fine. As long as your life returns to normal, everything can get back on track.
While she was thinking this, she tried her best to ignore the strangeness.
Her eyes inadvertently caught a glimpse of two students not far away. They were standing by the door with very nervous expressions.
Ji Chunzao and Yan Jingxing.
These two people were dormitory students, but they sneaked into the town and wandered around. They were caught by themselves. It was normal to have this kind of reaction.
However, their eyes did not look at themselves at this moment, but looked at the man sitting opposite without blinking——
…
"What...what's going on?" Ji Chunzao grabbed his hair, "After losing his brain, he can still act like a normal person..."
"No, this guy doesn't look like a normal person."
Yan Jingxing shook his head.
He saw clearly just now that no matter what Teacher Gao said, the man did not make any appropriate reaction. Instead, he always had a fake smile on his face, which made people shudder.
"I think he only has some instinct left in him." He said solemnly, "Because of the appearance of the 'astronaut', half of this man's brain was eaten, but the remaining half is still driving this body. action, and certain basic reactions.”
"possible."
Ji Chunzao nodded, his little face full of uneasiness.
"But why did this person come here? Is it really a coincidence?"
…
After a while, Teacher Gao finally completed his work.
Seeing that the man opposite was still smiling strangely and didn't listen to her words at all, she felt angry again.
If she wasn't really busy right now and wanted to end it early, she would definitely have a good talk about this person.
Can someone like him be a good parent? Just put all the responsibility on the school.
Teacher Gao said stiffly:
"It seems like you don't care about this, so let's do this for now. I'll ask him to come over and talk to you."
She stood up, but the man sitting across from her remained motionless in his chair.
"What's wrong? Is there anything else you can do?"
The smirking man didn't answer. He twisted his neck slightly, left, right, left, right. The veins popping up under the loose skin undulated with his movements, as if there were insects crawling underneath.
What a weirdo. Teacher Gao stared at him, feeling increasingly uncomfortable and planning to go out and find someone to take him away.
But just then——
"Let's go!"
"Teacher Gao, run quickly!"
The two junior high school students standing at the door shouted to her in unison, their voices full of anxiety.
"Um?"
As soon as Teacher Gao turned his head, he saw a black shadow rushing towards him from the corner of his eye.
…
Yan Jingxing and Ji Chunzao watched uneasily, but didn't know how to stop it. And the situation is indeed as they imagined, developing in the worst direction——
After Teacher Gao stood up, he was suddenly thrown to the ground by the strange man. In the eyes of the young people, this scene was more horrifying than imagined:
I saw the man's mouth wide open, his dull eyes bulging towards the ceiling, and a moving streak of colorful light was crawling out of his mouth, one, and then another...
The alien creatures they called "spiritual leeches" burst out of every cavity and orifice in his body and quickly crawled all over the man's body.
"How...how could...this is not 'Advent'...they have been hidden in this person's body!" "
Hearing the murmur of Ji Chunzao next to him who was so frightened that he almost fainted, and then seeing Teacher Gao struggling desperately after being knocked down, squirming leeches fell from the man's body and crawled onto the new victim's body. ... Yan Jingxing gritted his teeth and felt that his hands and feet were shaking uncontrollably.
But, could he just watch and do nothing?
He glanced around, picked up a trophy on the table, and wanted to rush up and knock the victim unconscious, or at least pull Teacher Gao out.
But just then——
A "spiritual leech" crawled down from the man's back and jumped directly towards the door.
Yan Jingxing was startled and subconsciously swung the trophy in the direction in front of him.
Hit!
However, it felt like hitting a slippery sponge.
At this moment, Yan Jingxing's eyes widened.
He saw it, saw it clearly...
The illusory light and shadow that originally enveloped the "Spirit Leech" slowly disappeared, revealing its true face.
The enlarged one indeed resembled a leech that had been enlarged more than ten times. This was the monster's true and disgusting posture.
The dark and smooth skin had no organs, only the sharp mouthparts crawling out of the hole at the front, twitching and twisting, and covered with blood.
"Crack."
The spirit leech fell to the ground. It crawled and twisted, and the most terrifying thing was that with its ability, it could jump up at any time and pounce directly on people's faces——
His attack had no effect at all, and the one in front of him was just one. Teacher Gao, who was really attacked, had become terrible: the man controlled her hands, and bugs burst out of her body and gathered into one by one. The soft body caused her body, which was struggling, to be covered with "spiritual leeches".
"Quick, go!"
Ji Chunzao's urgent call came from behind.
Yan Jingxing turned around and saw that the girl was clenching her sleeves hard, with crystal tears overflowing from the corners of her eyes.
"Jing Xing! I don't want you..."
He was stunned for a moment, gritted his teeth, regained consciousness and smashed the trophy against the "leech" on the ground.
It twisted its body to avoid it, but at this time, he had already grabbed Ji Chunzao's hand and ran out of the office.
The little girl kicked the door shut and the two of them ran along the corridor and outside.
*
"This...this kind of thing...have you ever encountered it before?"
He was out of breath from running and asked while holding on to the telephone pole.
The two of them just focused on escaping the horrific scene, and didn't stop until they returned to the street. The bustling and lively crowds around them and the common daily scenes made them temporarily regain their senses.
"No……"
Ji Chunzao's face was pale and he shook his head vigorously.
The man's miserable posture was simply... like those monsters had made the human body into their own nest.
Large "leeches" crawled in and out of his body, like the worst nightmare.
He looked at his hands and found that they were still shaking.
At this time, Yan Jingxing realized the problem with his mentality.
Although he witnessed supernatural events and was aware of the dangers involved, he never had a real sense of them, and he never imagined that one day someone he knew would become a victim——
But he could only watch helplessly, unable to do anything.
This deep feeling of powerlessness is the most painful thing. But Chun Zao has experienced this pain more than once.
He took a deep breath and suddenly grabbed his hand to stop it from shaking. He remembered that the girls around him had done the same thing.
"Spring algae."
"……Um?"
"Should we go back again?"
"...Of course, the things we planned haven't been done yet."
Ji Chunzao sniffed. Although there was still panic in her eyes, the girl's thoughts remained firm and unchanging.
They returned to the building again.
The sound in the office has already attracted the attention of others.
The teacher patrolling the corridor went to check the situation, but saw the man attacking Teacher Gao, and immediately screamed in panic.
Today, the place is in chaos.
In the event of such an accident, the class would not be able to continue. The students in several cram schools all walked out of the classroom, looking around curiously and whispering to each other.
The entire corridor was packed, and I heard someone had called the police.
Listening to the discussions of the people around him, it seemed that nothing more terrible happened after that, which made Yan Jingxing sigh in relief, and then he heard doubtful voices coming from behind.
"Why are you two here?"
Xie Yuzhi, who came out of the classroom, was standing behind them.
"Well, we're here to see if we want to go to cram school..."
Yan Jingxing reacted fairly quickly, but Ji Chunzao obviously didn't want to beat around the bush. With an anxious look on her face, she walked over directly and wanted to grab her hand.
"Xie Yuzhi, come with me and leave this place quickly!"
"..."
"What happened?"
"A strange man attacked Teacher Gao, and we just ran out of the office-" Yan Jingxing said.
Ji Chunzao added loudly: "He is possessed by 'spiritual leeches'... alien creatures, and they want to create new victims!"
"...You're saying that again."
Xie Yuzhi sighed, as if he no longer took her words to heart, maybe because he was used to it.
"Forget it, I'll find out myself."
She decisively left the two of them and asked other people for information. The result was the same as that of the boy named Yan Jingxing.
When Xie Yuzhi came back, he found that the two people still had no intention of leaving.
They were looking at me with worried faces. To be honest, Xie Yuzhi could certainly see that this worry was sincere.
However, its origin is ridiculous, so for her, there is no way to recognize and accept it...
At this time, another burst of small exclamations suddenly came from the direction of the office.
Teacher Gao was helped up. Her face was very gloomy. She didn't seem to be injured, but her expression seemed to be saving up something.
The middle-aged woman roughly shook off the arm of the person next to her, walked into the crowd, and pushed back the students who were watching the excitement in the corridor.
"Everyone go back! Everyone go back! Stop crowding here, you still have to go to class!"
Students will naturally choose to listen to the teacher at this time. Xie Yuzhi in the crowd planned to follow everyone into the classroom.
But at this moment, someone took her hand again.
"do not go!"
Ji Chunzao's attitude was very stubborn.
"Xie Yuzhi, please trust me once and don't go there!"
"...What's the reason?"
She frowned slowly.
"Teacher Gao is probably already entangled now!"
"So what?"
"They will go crazy! Everyone who is entangled will go crazy as if they have a mental breakdown... and they may die later. It is very dangerous anyway. Come with me!"
Because Ji Chunzao's voice was too loud, everyone in the classroom heard it, and Xie Yuzhi standing in the corridor inevitably became the focus of everyone's attention.
The cram school that had been quiet seemed to be in a state of commotion again.
Xie Yuzhi's attitude is calm. She is used to being stared at by everyone, but now she is very disappointed with Chun Zao's "mindless" behavior, because this is not the first time it has happened.
"Yan Jingxing, are you her friend? Just let her behave in public according to her temper?"
The eyes of the captain and classmate fell on him.
"No, she's right."
Yan Jingxing sighed. He felt that the chance of convincing the other party was slim, but he still had to say what needed to be said.
"You need to leave here and leave Teacher Gao. Also, it is best to let everyone else in the classroom come out together."
"ha?"
Xie Yuzhi looked at him with a strange look, and then nodded slightly after a while.
"...I see, I understand. You are indeed on the same road, so we can talk about it together. But I'm sorry, I won't accompany you."
After that, she turned and left.
However, Ji Chunzao still had no intention of letting go.
She shouted angrily:
"open!"
Ji Chunzao still didn't move. Xie Yuzhi became even more angry and started to stare at her.
The little girl pursed her lips tightly, with a stubborn look like "No matter what you say, I can't let you go."
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Yan Jingxing watched from the side, worried. If he, a boy, joins in to help, it will only make the situation even more out of control.
But Chun Zao is right. Teacher Gao was attacked, and it is very likely that he was also entangled by "leeches"...
The stalemate between the three people quickly attracted the attention of other students. Several people pressed their faces to the window and watched with interest.
The faint sound of whispering never stopped from beginning to end.
Then--
A startling roar suddenly erupted in the classroom.
"That's enough for you! That's enough!"
Teacher Gao slapped the tabletop and blackboard with all his strength, glaring fiercely at each student's face.
Accompanied by the sound of "dong dong dong!", the bloodshot eyeballs rotated unnaturally like ferocious animals, making people shudder.
All the middle school students in the classroom were frightened by her sudden outburst, and they all fell silent.
