Chapter 43: Dangdangdang
Yue Ran looked towards the left corridor on the third floor. The darkness there was so thick that it seemed to be solidifying. The incandescent lights flickered, and the dim yellow light could not penetrate that thick layer of darkness.
The pupils were slightly dilated, and red threads like crimson worms slowly crawled out of Yue Ran's left eye. However, just when they were about to completely wrap around his left eye, the crimson worms completely dissipated. .
"Failed."
Yue Ran closed his sore eyes and murmured in a low voice.
After a few seconds, he opened his eyes again. The crimson worms in Yue Ran's left eye were squirming in the white of the eye. In the blink of an eye, they all gathered at the pupil. In an instant, the originally black pupil turned scarlet. , then the scarlet color spread, and the red color covered the entire left eye.
"Successful." Yue Ran added silently in his heart.
This is the ability he gained after waking up from the hallucination of the ancient clock. In other words, he brought in the injured left eye in reality. After the incident on the first floor, Yue Ran figured out some left eye abilities. doorway.
It can see some places that are difficult to see clearly, and can even see things that others cannot see, such as things hidden in the dark depths of the left corridor on the third floor.
It's just that Yue Ran is not able to master this ability skillfully, so that he cannot successfully activate it every time. For example, just now, Yue Ran failed when he activated the ability for the first time.
The thick black mist in the corridor on the left, after Yue Ran's left eye completely turned scarlet, slowly revealed the deepest secrets of the corridor.
It was a vaguely human-shaped monster. The monster was tall and wore a strange-shaped hat with pointed corners on its head. Because the monster was unusually tall, he wore a hat on his head. The pointed hat reached the ceiling of the corridor on the left side of the third floor. Through the occasional flickering light that disappeared in the darkness, Yue Ran could see that the hat seemed to have complicated patterns carved on it.
The flickering dim light was swallowed up by darkness, so that Yue Ran's idea of using the light to see the monster clearly failed.
The humanoid monster like a huge statue seemed to feel the prying eyes from the corridor on the other side of the third floor. Its huge body slowly turned. Only then did Yue Ran realize that the giant statue-like monster was actually holding a A stick that reaches as high as its chest and is covered with sharp metal barbs.
One end of the stick covered with sharp metal barbs was hanging on the ground, and the other was held by the huge humanoid monster. As the monster moved, there was a dull sound of metal rubbing against the cement floor, from the left side of the third floor. came from the darkness of the corridor.
The familiar tingling sensation in his left eye spread throughout his body. Yue Ran drew his eyes and closed his eyes. When he opened them again, the scarlet color in his left eye had completely disappeared, followed by a feeling of dizziness.
"Five seconds. When the left eye is deliberately opened, it can last for up to five seconds. Beyond this time..." Yue Ran pinched his earlobe subconsciously, then raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a A very intriguing smile, "as if the body has been hollowed out."
When Yue Ran withdrew his gaze, the pressure from the darkness deep in the corridor on the third floor also disappeared.
"The monster disappeared." Yue Ran muttered.
This feeling made him feel that the humanoid monster in the dark depths of the left corridor seemed to be targeting him.
"Why do you look like this?"
Zhang Yuan, who was holding a miniature flashlight in his hand, saw Yue Ran's appearance, which reminded him of Yue Ran's state when facing the ancient clock on the terrace leading from the first floor to the second floor. This made Zhang Yuan When he discovered that Yue Ran's state was not right, his first reaction was to distance himself from the other party, and then shine the miniature flashlight in his hand into Yue Ran's eyes. After all, the last time Yue Ran appeared in this state, he was in Yue Ran recovered after using this method.
Yue Ran pushed away the miniature flashlight in Zhang Yuan's hand. The dazzling light was also removed at the same time, and Yue Ran's vision fell into darkness again.
"I'm fine, it's just that my eyes feel a little uncomfortable."
Yue Ran was not going to tell Zhang Yuan about his left eye being able to see through the fog, just like what Zhang Yuan said to him on the fourth floor of the high school teaching building during the day, everyone has secrets.
Zhang Yuan did not continue to ask, but said to Yue Ran: "Let's go from the corridor on the left. There is also a staircase leading to the fourth floor."
The light of the miniature flashlight shone on the corridor on the left side of the third floor. The thick darkness seemed to be an endless black hole, and it was impossible to see what was behind the darkness.
Zhang Yuan didn't know what was on the left side of the corridor, but Yue Ran knew it. So after Zhang Yuan proposed to go up to the fourth floor from the left corridor, Yue Ran directly objected. He didn't tell Zhang Yuan the real reason. Far, just saying that the darkness there made him uneasy.
Without waiting for Zhang Yuan to retort, Yue Ran walked towards the already broken safety passage indicator light.
The "click-click" sound made by the teacher writing on the blackboard with chalk in the classroom still echoes in the corridor.
When Zhang Yuan followed, Yue Ran had already reached the half-open classroom door.
The classrooms in the junior high school have the same layout as those in the high school. There is a class sign hanging on the wooden door painted with yellow paint that seems to be broken.
The words "Class Two of Three Years" seemed to be written in blood.
"It's Class 2 again in the third year."
Yue Ran didn't plan to stay here too long, he just took a brief glance and moved forward.
But Yue Ran, who had just looked into the classroom, suddenly froze there. He saw a pair of eyes wrapped in crimson mist staring at him. When Yue Ran saw the owner of those eyes clearly, Yue Ran suddenly felt My scalp felt numb.
That person turned out to be Liu Jiang, the third-grade Chinese teacher in the high school department and Yu Ning and Zhang Yuan's class teacher here.
The Chinese teacher with slicked back hair, gold-rimmed glasses, a white striped shirt and a black tie was standing on the podium in the classroom, holding chalk in his right hand and writing something on the blackboard. , and his head with slicked back hair and gold-rimmed glasses turned around in a very strange way and looked at Yue Ran.
Zhang Yuan, who had arrived late, also saw this scene and couldn't help but take a breath. Driven by instinct, Zhang Yuan was about to turn around and run away, but then he thought of the system mission and reached out to take Yue Ran with him. run.
At the same time, the Chinese teacher standing on the classroom podium opened his mouth, and then said in a voice that sounded as if it was coming from a tape cassette: "Yu Ning and Zhang Yuan, you came at just the right time. The seats are reserved for you."
Before he finished speaking, the bell representing the hourly time came up from the first floor of the junior high school teaching building.
"Dang, Dang, Dang..."
