Chapter 38: Mutation
His eyes are still small triangular eyes, and his mouth is still the same one that can reach the base of his ears when he smiles.
Nothing seems to have changed.
"Hey, Yu Ning, you haven't answered my question yet."
As the triangular-eyed Ma Shan spoke, he came to a position only a few steps away from Yue Ran.
Because Yue Ran had seen Ma Shan's unusual state just now, when Ma Shan approached him, Yue Ran took two steps back, widening the distance between him and Ma Shan.
"The system's mission is to prevent me from being caught by ghosts. The situation of Mashan just now makes it difficult for me not to associate him with ghosts."
Yue Ran complained in his heart.
After seeing Yue Ran's reaction, Ma Shan glanced at the other party with his small triangular eyes, then grinned his mouth that could reach the base of his ears, revealing a very ugly smile.
"It's almost nine o'clock. Where have they gone?" Yue Ran looked at Ma Shan, but the image of Ma Shan's hunched body with wriggling bulges on both sides of his ribs still appeared in his mind.
"They should go to the fifth floor first."
Before he finished speaking, the corner of Mashan's mouth twitched unconsciously, and then his head shook left and right, and then he stretched out his hand to press his neck, as if there was something there that made him very nervous. uncomfortable.
"My neck has been hurting for the past few days, especially tonight. It's like something is growing there."
After Ma Shan finished speaking, he exposed his crotch to Yue Ran. Yue Ran took a sneak peek and saw that Ma Shan's crotch was already red from scratching him, and it seemed to be bulging. A large tumor-like mass, crystal clear, as if it would burst in the next second.
On the terrace leading from the first floor to the second floor, the simple teacher's clock stands there, like a tall guard, overlooking everything.
The huge pendulum under the simple-style clock made a "click-click" sound, and then the minutes on the yellowish copper dial inadvertently moved forward.
"It's eight fifty-three." Yue Ran reminded him of the time.
After the words fell, Yue Ran was about to walk towards the wide staircase leading to the second floor that faced the lobby on the first floor. At this moment, Ma Shan called out to Yue Ran.
"Yu Ning, I'll take you away." This time Ma Shan did not go to Yue Ran. "You can't enter the party without me."
Ma Shan seemed to have seen through Yue Ran's intention to abandon him and go to the fifth floor at any time, so he made a special mention to let Yue Ran know that now that he has entered the junior high school teaching building, he must listen to me.
Yue Ran raised his head and glanced at the huge, simple clock that looked like a guard. The huge pendulum swung regularly on the clock base.
"There's still time."
Yue Ran calculated the time secretly in his mind, and then nodded towards Mashan.
When Ma Shan saw Yue Ran agreeing, his small triangular eyes narrowed into a slit, and his mouth that could reach to his ears showed a smile that he thought was very kind.
Yue Ran turned sideways to make way for Mashan. Mashan didn't hesitate at all and walked straight towards the corridor on the right side of the hall on the first floor.
Mashan's choice was a bit unexpected for Yue Ran, because the high school teaching building and the junior high school teaching building of Sunan University are located very close to each other, and the high school is on the left side of the junior high school, so when Mashan called out, stop. When Yue Ran then asked to take him a shortcut, Yue Ran guessed that the shortcut in Mashankou was on the left side of the corridor on the first floor.
Yue Ran guessed that Ma Shan would take him through the high school through a secret passage, and then go back to the junior high school where they met from a certain location in the high school.
That's why Yue Ran was so surprised when he saw Ma Shan choose the right channel, because it meant that he had guessed wrong.
Seeing Ma Shan, who shook his head from time to time, walking without scruple towards the corridor shrouded in the dim light emitted by incandescent lamps, Yue Ran's brows slowly wrinkled, because he clearly saw Ma Shanbo The large lump on the back of his neck that was as clear as a tumor and seemed ready to burst if poked seemed to be much larger than before. Scarlet viscous liquid kept flowing into the large lump on Mashanbo's neck. The ground was spinning, and if he looked carefully, there seemed to be a blurry face in the viscous liquid, roaring continuously.
This reminded Yue Ran of what Ma Shan said casually to him just now, "It seems like something is about to grow."
"I thought it was just a joke at first, but I didn't expect it to be true. Now the development of things here seems to be beyond my understanding."
Yue Ran sighed and walked towards the corridor on the right side of the hall on the first floor.
At this time, Ma Shan, who was walking in front wearing a blue and white school uniform, kept shaking his head from side to side. At the same time, Ma Shan's face didn't know whether it was because he was being tortured by the thing on the back of his neck or because of something else. The reason was, showing a ferocious and painful expression.
Seeing this scene, Yue Ran slowed down and deliberately distanced himself from Ma Shan in front.
Continuing forward, this corridor seems to be very long. You can only see the mysterious darkness like a black hole in front of you, and you can't see the end at all.
Only one side of the corridor on the first floor of the junior high school is a classroom. The wooden door plate hangs horizontally on the door frame of the classroom door. On it are written in bright red fonts Class One, Class Two, Class Three... ··
Students in the junior high school get out of school half an hour earlier than those in the high school. Although Jiangsu University implements closed management, even if school ends half an hour earlier, students can only move around in the school, but it is only half an hour earlier. hours, making countless high school students want to sneak back to the junior high school and read it all over again.
Yue Ran didn't know if the high school students would have the opportunity to return to the junior high school to experience the life of getting out of school half an hour early. But what Yue Ran knew now was that he seemed to be in trouble because the door of a classroom in front of Mashan was The door was pushed open from the inside.
What kind of experience is this? When you think there is no one else except you, the classroom door in front of you is suddenly pushed open from the inside, and then a dry arm stretches out from the classroom, and then a second arm , the third one, the fourth one...
The densely packed arms were like branches growing on the wooden door of the classroom, waving the branches constantly, but the branches in front of him seemed a bit ugly.
Mashan, who was walking at the front, stopped when he saw the countless arms stretching out from the classroom. At this time, he was still shaking his head from side to side, but the shaking amplitude was much larger than before. At the same time, A sound of "crack" bones breaking came from the back of Mashan's neck, and then a scarlet viscous liquid spurted out from the large tumor-like mass on the back of his neck.
